Two-photon Induced Hot Electron Transfer to a Single Molecule in a Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The junction of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating in the tunneling regime was irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses. A photo-excited hot electron in the STM tip resonantly tunnels into an excited state of a single molecule on the surface, converting it from the neutral to the anion. The electron transfer rate depends quadratically on the incident laser power, suggesting a two-photon excitation process. This nonlinear optical process is further confirmed by the polarization measurement. Spatial dependence of the electron transfer rate exhibits atomic-scale variations. A two-pulse correlation experiment reveals the ultrafast dynamic nature of photo-induced charging process in the STM junction. Results from these experiments are important for understanding photo-induced interfacial charge transfer in many nanoscale inorganic-organic structures.

Once data collection is completed, the researcher discovers a tangential finding but decides against publication. Two years later, she receives an email from an advocacy group about DietGPT, noting that circumstances of some mothers were not considered in research.
An analogue of the Harer-Zagier formula for unicellular maps on general surfaces

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is simply connected. In a famous article, Harer and Zagier established a formula for the generating function of unicellular maps counted according to the number of vertices and edges. The keystone of their approach is a counting formula for unicellular maps on orientable surfaces with $n$ edges, and with vertices colored using every color in $[q]$ (adjacent vertices are authorized to have the same color). We give an analogue of this formula for general (locally orientable) surfaces. Our approach is bijective and is inspired by Lass's proof of the Harer-Zagier formula. We first revisit Lass's proof and twist it into a bijection between unicellular maps on orientable surfaces with vertices colored using every color in $[q]$, and maps with vertex set $[q]$ on orientable surfaces \emph{with a marked spanning tree}. The bijection immediately implies Harer-Zagier's formula and a formula by Jackson concerning bipartite unicellular maps. It also shed a new light on constructions by Goulden and Nica, Schaeffer and Vassilieva, and Morales and Vassilieva. We then extend the bijection to general surfaces and obtain a correspondence between unicellular maps on general surfaces with vertices colored using every color in $[q]$, and maps on orientable surfaces with vertex set $[q]$ \emph{with a marked planar submap}. This correspondence gives an analogue of the Harer-Zagier formula for general surfaces. We also show that this formula implies a recursion formula due to Ledoux for the numbers of unicellular maps with given numbers of vertices and edges.

description: Using large-scale Monte Carlo computations, we study two versions of a $(1+1)D$ $Z_4$-symmetric model with Ohmic bond dissipation. In one of these versions, the variables are restricted to the interval $[0,2π>$, while the domain is unrestricted in the other version. The compact model features a completely ordered phase with a broken $Z_4$ symmetry and a disordered phase, separated by a critical line. The noncompact model features three phases. In addition to the two phases exhibited by the compact model, there is also an intermediate phase with isotropic quasi-long-range order. We calculate the dynamical critical exponent $z$ along the critical lines of both models to see if the compactness of the variable is relevant to the critical scaling between space and imaginary time. There appears to be no difference between the two models in that respect, and we find $z\approx1$ for the single phase transition in the compact model as well as for both transitions in the noncompact model.
Predicting posttraumatic stress symptomology in emergency medical personnel : the role of perceived stress and rumination
Creators: name: Levere, Drake
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Paramedics are frequently exposed to traumatic events on the job, and although they have higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptomology (PTSS) than the general population (Berger et al., 2012), not all paramedics experience high PTSS. Identifying factors that impact PTSS among individuals who are frequently exposed to traumatic stress is important for the development of evidence-based interventions. Using a longitudinal design, we examined relationships among rumination, perceived stress, and PTSS in 87 shift-working paramedics. Perceived stress and rumination were examined daily across a one-week period, while measurements of PTSS were assessed at baseline and at a two-year follow-up. Regression analyses indicated that perceived stress significantly predicted rumination. Rumination significantly predicted PTSS at the two-year follow-up, even after controlling for baseline PTSS, depression, and occupational stressors. Perceived stress did not directly predict PTSS at follow-up. Rather, rumination mediated the relationship between perceived stress and PTSS. Specifically, higher levels of perceived stress were associated with higher rumination, and higher rumination was associated with higher levels of PTSS at follow-up. These findings suggest the importance of targeting both perceived stress and rumination in clinical interventions for individuals who are frequently exposed to traumatic stressors.

We think differences have arisen not in the experimental results themselves but in their interpretation: our more extensive experiments allowed us to distinguish between "true positive" and "false positive" results. We identify potential evidence of non-polaritonic effects in Schwartz and Hutchison's own work. We hope our work will encourage others to produce more systematic investigations of strong coupling.

subject: delivery costs

description: Labor, equipment, and materials costs were developed for 12 systems of handling, transporting, and delivering fresh tomatoes. The systems included four tomato handling methods (handstacked, palletized, pallet-pool, and slipsheet) from the packing plant to wholesale warehouses, three systems (handstacked, palletized, and mobile carts) for handling tomatoes from wholesaler to retailer, and one system used in the retail store. A synthesized pallet-pool system was the lowest-cost system ($0.6218 per 20-pound carton) for moving tomatoes from packing plant to wholesaler. Pallet delivery was the lowest cost system ($0.2278 per carton) for movement from wholesaler to retailer, and $0.1756 per carton for handling at the retailer level gave the lowest total labor, equipment, and materials cost of $1.0252 per carton. The pallet-pool system is not new, but has never been successfully operated industry-wide. This system is not considered feasible at this time. Therefore, the handstack system, which costs $0.6249 per carton, is recommended for delivery of fresh tomatoes from packing plant to wholesale warehouse. The recommended delivery system from wholesale warehouse to retailer is pallet delivery ($0.2278 per carton). The total system cost, then, would be $1.0283 per carton (packing plant to wholesale warehouse $0.6249, wholesale warehouse to retailer $0.2278, and retail handling $0.1756). Total costs per carton ranged from $1.0252 to $1.1384. Wholesale and retail losses due to damage and decay were not included in the cost calculations. If included, these losses would have increased the costs per carton for each of the 12 systems. Because of reduced handling, some systems offer better protection for the fruit than other systems.

description: RESUMEN Es una disciplina producto del desarrollo de la ciencia para estudiar y manipular la materia a escala de tamaño del orden de nanómetros. Se basa en modificar las propiedades de los materiales reordenando sus átomos en conjunto con los conocimientos de las ciencias básica y prácticas se utilizan los sistemas biológicos para su investigación, desarrollo y aplicación. Esta disciplina está orientada a un vasto número de sectores como lo son dispositivos informáticos, de telecomunicación, herramientas de detección y tratamiento de enfermedades, agricultura, alimentos, energías limpias, biorremediación, entre otras [1,2,3,4]. El resultado de esta disciplina son los dispositivos bionanohíbridos, donde se unen la biología estructural y la nanotecnología molecular. De esta forma, se aprovecha el conocimiento y las características de las biomoléculas, virus y bacterias combinadas con nanoestructuras inorgánicas generando características o propiedades nuevas, representando un futuro prometedor y con grandes posibilidades para resolución de problemas de interés social y científico [3,4]. Una ventaja del desarrollo de este tipo de conocimiento y tecnología es la posibilidad de ser más amigable con el medio ambiente. Los trabajos se enfocan en encontrar una cadena de producción con métodos que no generen daño o casi nada de daño a su alrededor y que sea más seguro para la mayoría de los seres vivos, intentando establecer una conexión entre biotecnologia y nanotecnologia. Por otro lado, como toda nueva herramienta tiene contras que debemos tomar en consideración, tanto para su desarrollo como para su implementación; por ejemplo, los costos y la influencia que podría tener en los ámbitos de la vida donde se pretende utilizar [4,5]. Sin duda, la nanobiotecnologia es una rama de la ciencia que ha surgido con el incremento de la necesidad de solucionar las principales problemáticas como lo son las enfermedades, la contaminación o escasez, una de las que ha tomado relevancia gracias a la complejidad, por ser multidisciplinaria, que tiene como objetivo obtener mejoras en los sistemas ya conocidos para la innovación y diseño de satisfactores [3,5].

description: Axisymmetric relaxed states of a cylindrical plasma column are found analytically in both standard and Hall magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) by complete minimization of energy with constraints imposed by invariants inherent in corresponding models. It is shown that the relaxed state in Hall MHD is the force-free magnetic field with uniform axial flow and/or rigid azimuthal rotation. The relaxed states in standard MHD are more complex due to the coupling between velocity and magnetic field. Application of these states for reversed-field pinches (RFP) is discussed.
Enlivening the Rhetoric of Family Nursing: "there, in the midst of things, his whole family listening"
Creators: name: Tapp, Dianne M.
name: Moules, Nancy J.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: At the time that this study was conducted, family nursing practice in acute care hospital settings had received little attention in nursing research and theory. A hermeneutic inquiry explored nursing practices that involved families on three cardiac medical-surgical units in two hospitals in a large urban health care region in Canada. Data for the inquiry were generated through field observations with fifteen nurses and interviews with ten nurses. Nurses supported and enabled family presence in these units but demonstrated limited evidence of deliberate family assessment and intervention. Nurses espoused a familiar rhetoric that claimed that family nursing exists because of the inevitability of encounters with family members throughout daily work. Nurses wished to appear to include family members in their practice and emphasized the importance of family teaching. Still, nursesâ€™ ability to articulate the nature of this practice was limited. Family nursing rhetoric is explored as a potentially legitimate discourse that underlies current trends influencing nursing of families, particularly the impact of early discharge and increased reliance on family members to provide care at home during early recovery.

Learning to Live with Osteoporosis: A Metaphoric Narrative
Creators: name: Hovey, Richard
name: Craig, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: A philosophical hermeneutic research approach was chosen to explore the meaning of living with osteoporosis, a degenerative bone disease. Osteoporosis creates the possibility of living with disabling physical, emotional, and social conditions for the person diagnosed with this serious health condition. The purpose of this study was to interpret the narratives authored by twelve participants living with osteoporosis. The findings provided in this article offer a perspective of how oneâ€™s shifting sense of self-renewal was expressed through osteoporosis-specific metaphors, which explicated a transformative process of how one learns to live well with osteoporosis. Three metaphors were identified and interpretively named the shattering, the surrendering, and the dance. An analysis, interpretation, and discussion of these narratives was performed. Consideration was given to how an interpretation of these findings, through metaphor, may benefit others living with osteoporosis, and how those diagnosed in the future can benefit from shared understandings and conversations about the meaning of living with osteoporosis. As people endeavored to make meaning of living with their illness, metaphors provided a useful common ground and invitation for discussion, story-telling, and the development of supportive relationships â€“ all implemented as educative methods to positively transition the impacted personsâ€™ physical, emotional, and social traumas toward the possibility of self-renewal.

Translating God: Derrida, Ricoeur, Kearney
Creators: name: Purcell, Lynn Sebastian
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of the present essay is to defend two related notions. The more specific notion that I seek to defend is Richard Kearneyâ€™s conception of God as posse, of God as a possible God. His position has recently been criticized for three separate reasons: that it is not radical enough, that it is crypto-metaphysical, and that it forecloses the most profound aims of ethics. At a broader level what seems to be at stake is the opposition between partisans of radical finitude, those who hold that the most profound questions are encountered at the limits of thought, and an alternative â€œinfiniteâ€ conception that Kearney shares with Paul Ricoeur, which maintains that fidelity to unpredictable events opens the way to what is most profound about the human condition. In response I argue that the criticisms fail to hit their mark because they presuppose a broadly Derridian or post-modern position in order to make their argument, when it is just those presuppositions that are in question.

description: We show that the use of entangled photons having non-zero orbital angular momentum (OAM) increases the resolution and sensitivity of angular-displacement measurements performed using an interferometer. By employing a 4$\times$4 matrix formulation to study the propagation of entangled OAM modes, we analyze measurement schemes for two and four entangled photons and obtain explicit expressions for the resolution and sensitivity in these schemes. We find that the resolution of angular-displacement measurements scales as $Nl$ while the angular sensitivity increases as $1/(2Nl)$, where $N$ is the number of entangled photons and $l$ the magnitude of the orbital-angular-momentum mode index. These results are an improvement over what could be obtained with $N$ non-entangled photons carrying an orbital angular momentum of $l\hbar$ per photon

The Privileges Chart in a Behaviour Class: Seeing the Power and Complexity of Dominant Traditions and Unconcealing Trust as Basic to Pedagogical Relationships
Creators: name: Gilham, Christopher Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Through an anecdote this interpretive work suggests that a chart on student privileges in a class for students with behavioural challenges led to an understanding of dominant traditions at play and the power such traditions can hold over educators. These complexly intertwined traditions included the efficiency movement, the norm, and market capitalismâ€™s emphasis on personal rights. These traditions set the conditions for an abused and exclusive notion of privileges for particular students. This led the teacher and me to question who decides student rights and for whom do such rights apply. We were then able to talk about how the teacher came to understand his students through pedagogical relationships built on trust rather than a singular belief in the rights of each student. This paper also attempts to show the above understandings involved an investigative labouring to dialogue with the topic and that such effort is worth-while because we were able to return to or recover some â€˜basicsâ€™ within pedagogical relationships.

description: The development of BiPo detectors is dedicated to the measurement of extremely high radiopurity in 208Tl and 214Bi for the SuperNEMO double beta decay source foils. A modular prototype, called BiPo-1, with 0.8 m2 of sensitive surface area, has been running in the Modane Underground Laboratory since February, 2008. The goal of BiPo-1 is to measure the different components of the background and in particular the surface radiopurity of the plastic scintillators that make up the detector. The first phase of data collection has been dedicated to the measurement of the radiopurity in 208Tl. After more than one year of background measurement, a surface activity of the scintillators of A(208Tl) = 1.5 \muBq/m2 is reported here. Given this level of background, a larger BiPo3 detector having 3.25 m2 of active surface area, will able to qualify the radiopurity of the SuperNEMO selenium double beta decay foils with the required sensitivity of A(208Tl) < 3-4 μBq/kg (90% C.L.) with a six month measurement. This detector is actually under construction and will be installed in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory mid 2011.

description: SN 2007it is a bright, Type IIP supernova which shows indications of both pre-existing and newly formed dust. The visible photometry shows a bright late-time luminosity, powered by the 0.09 M$_{\sun}$ of $^{56}$Ni present in the ejecta. There is also a sudden drop in optical brightness after day 339, and a corresponding brightening in the IR due to new dust forming in the ejecta. CO and SiO emission, generally thought to be precursors to dust formation, may have been detected in the mid-IR photometry of SN 2007it. The optical spectra show stronger than average [O I] emission lines and weaker than average [Ca II] lines, which may indicate a 16 - 27 M$_{\sun}$ progenitor, on the higher end of expected Type IIP masses. Multi-component [O I] lines are also seen in the optical spectra, most likely caused by an asymmetric blob or a torus of oxygen core material being ejected during the SN explosion. Interaction with circumstellar material prior to day 540 may have created a cool dense shell between the forward and reverse shocks where new dust is condensing. At late times there is also a flattening of the visible lightcurve as the ejecta luminosity fades and a surrounding light echo becomes visible. Radiative transfer models of SN 2007it SEDs indicate that up to 10$^{-4}$ M$_{\sun}$ of new dust has formed in the ejecta, which is consistent with the amount of dust formed in other core collapse supernovae.

description: Abstract

 It is surprising for many people to learn how restricted children with cancer are, both in their daily activities as well as in the bigger, more significant events in their lives.Â  The treatment for cancer often leaves children with significant immune suppression; exposure to any kind of virus or infection could lead to a life-threatening event.Â  Summer camp â€“ a â€œrite of passageâ€ for many kids â€“ would be a forgone experience were it not for specialized childrenâ€™s cancer camps.
 This paper is intended to interpretively examine the concept of play in relation to childrenâ€™s cancer camps. Much has been written about play both philosophically and scientifically, and while it might seem an obvious association, play and camp, I would suggest that like the word itself there is more complexity in this relationship than what first appears obvious.Â  Children play at camp, of course, but there is much â€œat playâ€ in them when they attend camp.Â  As Gadamer (1960/1989) wrote, â€œsomething is going onâ€¦something is happeningâ€ (p. 104).

description: The proliferation of containers for fresh fruits and vegetables exported to Europe has resulted in an enormous number of container sizes with many variations in construction and accessory packaging materials. A survey made in major western European terminal markets showed that 301 different containers were used for the packaging of 30 selected fresh fruits and vegetables. Containers found in the survey were made of wood (43.5 percent), corrugated fiberboard (51.8 percent), solid fiberboard (1.3 percent), expanded plastic (0.7 percent), nonexpanded plastic (1.3 percent), jute (1.0 percent), and composites (0.3 percent). Of the wooden containers, 55.7 percent were constructed as trays, 38.2 percent as boxes, and 6.1 percent as crates. Boxes accounted for 91.3 percent of containers constructed from fiberboard and the remaining 8.7 percent were trays. One box and one tray were made of expanded plastic. The nonexpanded plastic and the jute containers were bags. The one composite container was a tray. Accessory packaging materials were used in 71.8 percent of the containers surveyed. The product was place packed in 80.4 percent of the containers, and the remaining 19.6 percent were jumble packed. Their net weight varied considerably within and among the commodities. External length and width dimensions for fresh fruit and vegetable containers are recommended by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the purpose of international standardization. This study shows that 30.3 percent of the containers were within the OECD recommendations.

description: With almost two billion users worldwide, smartphones are used for almost everything – booking a hotel, ordering a cup of coffee, or paying in a shop. However, small size and high mobility makes these devices prone to theft and loss. In this work we aim to broaden our understanding of how smartphone users and application developers protect sensitive data on smartphones. To understand how well users are protecting their data in smartphones, we conducted several studies. The results revealed that 50% of the subjects locked their smartphone with an unlocking secret and 95% of them chose unlocking secrets that could be guessed within minutes. To understand how well application developers protect sensitive data in smartphones, we analyzed 132K Android applications. We focused on identifying misuse of cryptography in applications and libraries. The study results revealed that developers often misuse cryptographic API. In fact, 9 out of 10 Android applications contained code that used a symmetric cipher with a static encryption key. Further, source attribution revealed that libraries are the main consumer of cryptography and the major contributor of misuse cases. Finally, an in-depth analysis of the top libraries highlighted the need for improvement in the way we define and detect misuse of cryptography. Based on these results we designed and evaluated a system for encryption keys management that uses wearable devices as an additional source of entropy. Evaluation results showed that the proposal introduces insignificant overhead in power consumption and latency.

description: The subject of this paper is a mathematical transition from the Fisher information of classical statistics to the matrix formalism of quantum theory. If the monotonicity is the main requirement, then there are several quantum versions parametrized by a function. In physical applications the minimal is the most popular. There is a one-to-one correspondence between Fisher informations (called also monotone metrics) and abstract covariances. The skew information and the chi-square-divergence are treated here as particular cases.

description: Excerpts from the report: In 1973, the United States exported 127,860 metric tons, approximately $88 million, of edible offal. By 1978, the total had increased to 185,831 metric tons, approximately $205 million. These edible offal, commonly referred to as variety meats, included such products as beef livers, tongues, and hearts, and pork livers and hearts. Since 1970, exporters of edible offal have experienced a rejection rate ranging from 5 to 30 percent. USDA personnel stationed in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, indicate that the majority of the rejections, as well as the designation "unfit for human consumption," are based on the arrival appearance of the shipping containers holding the variety meat, rather than on the meat itself. Excessive blood stains on the outside of shipping containers and crushed and broken-open shipping containers, as well as inadequately closed shipping containers, are all problem areas that cause rejection or lower the value of U.S. variety meats. This report outlines the factors which cause the shipping containers to break down. It also provides suggestions on how to prevent excessive container breakdown, thus ensuring good container appearance at export destination.
Spatially explicit robust impact patterns : a new approach to account for uncertainties of long-term sea-level rise impacts at the local level
Creators: name: Yip, Zheng Ki (Jackie)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: While sea-level rise (SLR) is a certain effect of climate change, there are deep uncertainties about when and by how much. Uncertainties regarding how SLR can impact society at the local level - further compounded by changes in non-climatic drivers, cascading effects, and local contexts – act as a significant barrier to SLR adaptation. Recent literature has called for a shift from using best available predictions to find optimal adaptation options to using scenario-based approaches to find robust options that can perform reasonably under a range of possible futures. In response, this dissertation develops a new approach, the Robust Impact Patterns (RIPs) method, to help decision-makers account for potential SLR impact under hundreds of future scenarios, assuming that no adaptation takes place. The method utilizes the pattern recognition capability of machine learning to transform thousands of modelled SLR impact maps into a small number of impact patterns that are robust across multiple futures, thereby processing an otherwise overwhelming volume of impact information in a spatially explicit and visualized manner. This method addresses the need to account for uncertainties in the early planning stage in order to inform selection of preliminary options to target robust impacts and avoid relying on generic or existing options. An application to the City of Vancouver demonstrated the feasibility of the RIPs method and assessed its practical utility. Geospatial models assessed 14 potential impacts (e.g., business disruption, sewage backup damage potential) in 336 plausible futures that account for uncertainties in future storm intensity, SLR, land-use, power infrastructure resilience, and structural integrity of buildings. The 14 impacts were selected to address the City’s information needs and to capitalize on the capabilities of the RIPs method. Results were synthesized into 16 robust impact patterns (RIPs). City officials and experts, as potential users, were engaged in a structured workshop to discuss the results and evaluate the RIPs method’s capability to support adaptation. The RIPs method was found to be a useful platform for convening multiple types of stakeholders to understand complex SLR impacts, which can facilitate the development of new adaptation ideas, partnerships, and resources for implementation.
Long-range and short-range dihadron angular correlations in central PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV

description: First measurements of dihadron correlations for charged particles are presented for central PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV over a broad range in relative pseudorapidity, Delta(eta), and the full range of relative azimuthal angle, Delta(phi). The data were collected with the CMS detector, at the LHC. A broadening of the away-side (Delta(phi) approximately pi) azimuthal correlation is observed at all Delta(eta), as compared to the measurements in pp collisions. Furthermore, long-range dihadron correlations in Delta(eta) are observed for particles with similar phi values. This phenomenon, also known as the "ridge", persists up to at least |Delta(eta)| = 4. For particles with transverse momenta (pt) of 2-4 GeV/c, the ridge is found to be most prominent when these particles are correlated with particles of pt = 2-6 GeV/c, and to be much reduced when paired with particles of pt = 10-12 GeV/c.

description: The use of RFID tag which identifies a thing and an object will be expanded with progress of ubiquitous society, and it is necessary to study how to construct RFID network system as a social infrastructure like the Internet. First, this paper proposes the virtualization method of RFID tag network system to enable the same physical RFID network system to be used by multiple different service systems. The system virtualization not only reduces the system cost but also can dramatically reduce the installation space of physical readers and the operation cost. It is proposed that all equipments in the RFID network system except RFID tag could be shared with the conventional virtual technologies. Then, this paper proposes the conditional tag ID processing and the efficient tag ID transmission method which can greatly reduce the processing time and processing load in RFID tag Infrastructure network The conditional tag ID processing allows that tag ID is valid only at a certain time zone of day or in a certain area. The efficient tag ID transmission method uses the virtual network address of the service center as a part of the ID of an RF tag, which allows the direct ID forwarding to the service center.

description: Scotland’s Independent Care Review made an unwavering commitment to en-suring the care experienced community would be at its very heart. The review concluded that the primary purpose of the care system needed to shift from protecting from harm to protecting all safe, loving, and respectful relation-ships. This shift puts the responsibility of change fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the workforce who care for young people. Supporting meaningful relationships with professionals in the lives of young people requires new ways of working. This article explores a central, but often overlooked, question: How do we ensure a relationship is good for a young person? The writer, with over thirty years’ experience, reflects on how trust and the capacity to love can be enabled when the workforce has time to focus and reflect on relationships. Practical ways individuals, working as part of a team, can engage more in-sightfully and empathetically with young people are discussed.

description: Western culture can be described as death-denying and youth-obsessed. Yet this has not always been the case. Only a few generations ago, death was very much part of life where people died at home with their families members caring for them. A shift occurred, in part, because of the unprecedented advances in medical science that the western world has seen over the past 40 years. Health care professionals now have the knowledge and the technology to prolong life in ways that were previously not only unattainable, but inconceivable. Regardless, the reality that death will eventually come for each of us has not changed; merely our perception of it has. This perception is influenced by the hidden nature of death in our society. This begs the questions: if death in our culture is something to hide, to conceal, and to keep secret, then what does that say about our ability to express grief? What does this mean for those who face it as part of their chosen profession? How might we understand the nature of suffering for those who turn toward the suffering of others? This paper interpretively examines the nature of hidden death and hidden grief in our society.
