A Cognitive-Embodiment Approach to Emotioning and Rationality, Illustrated in the Story of Job

This article examines the connections between emotions, religious faith, and the Santiago theory of cognition. Understanding the culture of religion requires a distinctively reflective awareness that religion both arises from emotions and helps shape our rational experiencing of possibilities for emotioning. Such a complex relation between emotions and religious faith is explored with reference to the Santiago theory of cognition, which asserts, among other things, that cognition is the bringing forth of a world. This embodied cognition perspective provides an alternative metaphor for examining constructs such as faith and religious emotions. The biblical story of Job will be used to illustrate the rationality of emotions displayed by Job in his response to personal tragedy.
Pain beliefs and pain management of oncology patients.

Cancer pain is estimated to occur in 30% to 70% of patients with early-stage cancer and 60% to 95% with advanced cancer. Current research shows that cancer pain continues to be undertreated despite the availability of analgesics and established guidelines to maximize their effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to describe oncology patients' pain experience during an episode of hospitalization with particular emphasis on exploring the relationship between oncology patients' beliefs about pain and the treatment they received. Consecutive patients (n = 126) were interviewed 48 hours after admission to an urban and a regional hospital in Australia; 47.6% of patients had experienced moderate to severe pain in the previous 24 hours but had only received 40.4% of available analgesic. Patients held varying beliefs about pain and pain treatments in particular, 41% held strong beliefs about the potential for addiction to narcotics. Patients who held this belief reported higher current pain, worst pain intensity, and higher average pain intensity in the previous 24 hours. Effective pain management in the inpatient oncology setting continues to be an important clinical issue, and patients do not receive all available pain treatment. There may be an important association between patients' beliefs about pain and pain management and the pain management they receive.
Influence of the Past on Professional Lives: A Collective Commentary

This collective commentary is based on the narratives of the author-protagonists, three South African higher education developers who were involved in political activism during their youth. The commentary investigates the continuities between the author-protagonists’ youth and their later professional engagements. Drawing from social realism, the concepts of agency and reflexivity provide a helpful analytic lens. Together, the narratives suggest that these concepts may be more complex when viewed against individual narratives and that some of the differences between social realist Margaret Archer and her critics are worth bridging. Undertaking an investigation of one’s own past is beneficial for professionals engaged in higher education development.
Board Interlocks and the Propensity to be Targeted in Private Equity Transactions

In this paper, we examine the propensity for U.S. public companies to become targets for private equity-backed, take-private transactions. We consider the characteristics of 483 private equity-backed deals in the 2000-2007 period relative to public companies, and find that, in addition to the financial drivers studied in previous works, board characteristics and director networks are also associated with deal generation. We find that a company that has a director who has had LBO experience through prior board service is ~40% more likely to receive a private equity offer, and that the strength of this effect varies with the influence of the director and the quality of the prior LBO experience. This effect is robust to the most likely alternative explanations and supports the idea that directors and social networks play an influential role in change-of-control transactions.
Ideario sociopolítico y valores estamentales de los pecheros abulenses y salmantinos (ss. XIII-XV)

This paper sustains that the pecheros (serfs) living in the boroughs south of the Duero River generated a discourse and certain specific values contrary to those of the urban gentry. In particular, the boroughs of Salamanca, Alba de Tormes, Avila and Ciudad Rodrigo are studied. For this discourse to be able to take shape, the necessary conditions were the early and acute social stratification, an extensive area of rural commoners and the strong leadership of the pecheros ’ representatives. They were able to speak for broad strata of the organized population and to devise coherent ideas and programs. The main points of their ideas are analyzed here in relation to urban society, the rural milieu, justice and the use of violence.
On the molecular biology and evolution of plant parasitism by nematodes

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) are among the most devastating plant pathogens. However, our understanding of how nematodes adapted to plant parasitism, and the molecular mechanisms that PPN use during infection is limited. Among the most important genomic changes that occurred in the free-living nematode ancestors of PPN were multiple horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events from bacteria. Though it is clear that HGT helped shape the genomes of many PPN, how this process occurred is unknown. Also, it is evident that successful parasitism occurs from the delivery of proteinaceous effectors into plant roots to hijack and modify host cellular processes. The research included in this dissertation aims at addressing several important questions regarding HGT in PPN, and investigates important molecular, cellular and developmental processes that are determined critical for successful parasitism. Of particular emphasis throughout this dissertation is the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, due to a highly specialized and agronomically important interaction with its soybean host. Major findings for HGT in PPN include the identification of eighteen new H. glycines effectors, three of which are determined to have been part of more ancient HGT events from rhizosphere bacteria. Additionally, homologs of two of the three HGT genes are shown to have been transferred numerous different times from bacteria to diverse eukaryotes and archaea. The latter findings indicate the likely evolutionary advantages that these genes provided not just to PPN, but many different taxa. Intriguingly, we reveal that a group of retroviruses specific to distal nematode clades is genomically associated
Plastic deformation of GaAs single crystals as a function of electronic doping. I, Medium temperatures (150-650°C)

Plastic deformation of GaAs single crystals has been studied in the temperature range 20-650°C as a function of electronic doping, using different deformation techniques. In this paper, experiments conducted between 150°C and 650°C, using suitable pre-deformation conditions, are reported. The effects of electronic doping on macroscopic plasticity have been found to be consistent with dislocation velocity measurements for temperatures larger than 200°C. Activation Gibbs free energies were derived from activation volume measurements and found to be in reasonable agreement with activation energies of dislocation velocities. Observations of deformation substructures by transmission electron microscopy show that screw dislocations control the deformation at the lower temperatures.
Sublime Failures: The Ethics of Kant and Sade

David Martyn argues in this text that a return to Kant's latent "Sadianism" helps to confront the unresolved question of agency - or how to formulate an ethic after the deconstruction of the subject - in cultural studies theory. Acknowledging allegations of Kant's "empty formalism" and even of his proximity to a certain Sadianism, Martyn argues that Kant's ethics are valid not despite but because of their similarity to those of Sade. In close readings that address the historical and material conditions of the composition of their work, Martyn argues that the efforts of Kant and Sade to totalize systems - of ethics, philosophy, pleasures, crimes - must fail, but that the failure leads to important insights about ethics. The book offers philosophical and rhetorical analyses of the two authors' major works, and focuses on two related thematic fields: the economy of the gift and the materiality of writing.
An evaluation of current European packaging regulations on the core logistics operations of a paper packaking manufacturer in Greece

This paper focuses on the packaging sector in the Greek logistics market. It seeks to 
evaluate in the broader sense the packaging operations and the potential problems such 
as barriers that a number of local laws, based on the European Packaging Directive 
94/62/EC, might be generated in the individual markets. More specifically, the Greek 
market is a special field, where the effects caused by a number of measures formulated 
by the European Union, generate discrepancies compared to other member states, partly 
due to the geographical position of Greece and the distance from the central European 
market. 
This paper also includes an investigation of a specific paper packaging supply chain, 
where paper packaging acts as a significant factor for the individual companies that 
participate within it
On Deformations of Pasting Diagrams, II

We adapt the work of Power to describe general, not-necessarily composable, not-necessarily commutative 2-categorical pasting diagrams and their composable and commutative parts. We provide a deformation theory for pasting diagrams valued in $k$-linear categories, paralleling that provided for diagrams of algebras by Gerstenhaber and Schack, proving the standard results. Along the way, the construction gives rise to a bicategorical analog of the homotopy G-algebras of Gerstenhaber and Voronov.
New physics inB→ππ andB→πKdecays

We perform a combined analysis of B ! �� and B ! �K decays with the current experimental data. Assuming SU(3) flavor symmetry and no new physics contributions to the topological amplitudes, we demonstrate that the conventional parametrization in the Standard Model (SM) does not describe the data very well, in contrast with a similar analysis based on the earlier data. It is also shown that the introduction of smaller amplitudes and reasonable SU(3) breaking parameters does not improve the fits much. Interpreting these puzzling behaviors in the SM as a new physics (NP) signal, we study various NP scenarios. We find that when a single NP amplitude dominates, the NP in the electroweak penguin sector is the most favorable. However, other NP solutions, such as NP residing in the QCD-penguin sector and color-suppressed electroweak penguin sector simultaneously, can also solve the puzzle.
Casinos and Economic Growth

Casino gambling is a popular form of entertainment and is purported to have positive effects on host economies. The industry surely affects local labor markets and tax revenues. However, there has been little evidence on the effects of casino gambling on state economic growth. This paper examines that relationship using Granger-causality analysis modified for use with panel data. Our results indicate that there is no Granger-causal relationship between real casino revenues and real per capita income at the state level. The results are based on annual data from 1991 to 2005. These findings contradict an earlier study that found that casino revenues Granger-cause economic growth, using quarterly data from 1991 to 1996. Possible explanations for the differences in short- and long-run effects are discussed.
Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Who Decline Transfusion and Received Erythropoietin Compared to Patients Who Did Not: A Matched Cohort Study.

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, such as erythropoietin (EPO), can be used to treat preoperative anemia. Some studies suggest an increased risk of mortality and thrombotic events, and use in cardiovascular surgery remains off-label. This study compares outcomes in cardiac surgery patients declining blood transfusion who received EPO with a matched cohort who did not.



After institutional review board approval, we conducted a retrospective review of all patients who decline blood transfusion who underwent cardiac surgery and received EPO between January 1, 2004, and June 15, 2015, at a single institution. Control patients who did not receive EPO and were not transfused allogeneic red blood cells perioperatively were identified during the same period. Two controls were matched to each EPO patient using an optimal matching algorithm based on age, date of surgery, gender, operative procedure, and surgeon. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) and baseline characteristics remaining unbalanced in the matched cohorts were controlled for in assessing patient outcomes. The primary outcome was a composite of mortality and thrombotic events, and secondary outcomes included change in hemoglobin (Hb) from baseline to discharge, acute kidney injury (AKI), sternal wound infection, atrial fibrillation, time to extubation, intensive care unit, and hospital length of stay (LOS).



Fifty-three patients who decline transfusion and received EPO were compared to 106 optimally matched control patients who did not receive EPO or red blood cell transfusion in the perioperative period. The median additive EuroSCORE was similar between the EPO and control group [6 (4, 9) vs 5 (3, 7), respectively; P = .39]. There was no difference in the primary outcome (P = .12) and mortality was zero in both groups. The EPO group had a higher mean preoperative Hb (13.91 g/dL vs 13.31; P = .02) and a smaller change in Hb from baseline (-2.65 vs -3.60; P = .001). The incidence of AKI (47.17% vs 41.51%; P = .49) was similar and there was no significant difference in all other outcomes, including time to extubation, hospital LOS, or intensive care unit LOS.



In this retrospective matched cohort study of patients declining transfusion and receiving EPO matched to control patients, there were no clinically meaningful differences in the outcomes.
Hermeneutics versus science in psychoanalysis: a resolution to the controversy over the scientific status of psychoanalysis.

The controversy over the scientific status of psychoanalysis is investigated and a resolution is proposed. The positions held by the hermeneuticists, conveyed through the hermeneutic interpretation of psychoanalysis put forth by Jurgen Habermas and Paul Ricoeur, are reviewed. The views of psychoanalysis as a science held by the philosopher of science Adolf Grünbaum and by American psychoanalyst Robert S. Wallerstein are also considered. Psychoanalysis remains relevant today because it has situated itself among the other disciplines as a hybrid science, not quite a pure hermeneutic on the one hand, and not quite a pure science on the other, while at the same time having proven to be both these things-and in doing so has revolutionized the way we think about human nature.

Personal Views on Power Engineering Education from an Industry Vantage Point

Engineering education in general and power engineering education in particular are discussed in this paper from the point of view of the engineer being a total person with responsibilties to society and to himself. It appears that we are living in times when the relationship between society and technology is in crisis and that if adequate solutions are to be found changes in engineering education may be necessary to solve the problem. Engineering education has to address real problems in order to close the gap that has widened between academia and the practice of engineering. A macro-proposal on power engineering education is derived from discussions of the above topics and is offered here as a starting point for a thorough examination of the subject by everyone concerned.
PRODUCING THE MIDDLE ENGLISH CORPUS: CONFESSION AND MEDIEVAL BODIES

"My dissertation explores confession as a form or structure organizing four late-medieval texts: John Gower's Confessio Amantis, Geoffrey Chaucer's Legend of Good Women, The Book of Margery Kempe and Robert Henryson's Testament of Cresseid. I find that in these medieval texts confession functions as a discourse for producing truth and for constructing or inventing textualized bodies. Therefore, in part, I approach confession through the popular medieval analogy of a "the body" to "the book" and thereby consider how confession works to represent "truth" via the figure of a Christian body divided between inner and outer space. In each of the four texts I discuss, memorable bodies emerge as effects of confessional discourse: the senex amans in the Confessio ; the suffering women of the Legend ; the chaste body of Margery Kempe; and Cresseid's leprous body in the Testament. These problematic bodies all bear out the difficulties and frequent failures of confessional representation. Ultimately, during a period of institutional collapse and social, religious, and political upheaval, I demonstrate that desire ---for truth, renewal of faith, recuperation of the fallen body, stability, closure---underlies the need to confess."

Geopressures and Hydrodynamics in the Gulf Basin Tertiary

Deep drilling in the Gulf Basin has revealed geopressures (overpressures) in Teritiary/Quaternary rocks. These geopressures appear to rise stratigraphically in a basinward direction coincident with the regional basinward sand/shale facies change within regressive depositional cycles so characteristic of Gulf Basin sedimentation. These geopressured rocks appear undercompacted for their depths which implies that Tertiary/Quaternary sedimentation rates in depocenters have exceeded the capacity of the rock system to discharge its connate water under overburden stress. Thus, the connate fluids have temporarily assumed part of the overburden load and geopressured the rocks with maximum pressure gradients approaching 1.0 psi/ft. This pressure system "leaks" via transition zones into overlying sediments which reveal a fluid pressure gradient of 0.465 psi/ft., still in hydrodynamic disequilibrium considering the low water salinities involved. A plot of Gulf Basin pressures reveals no rectilinear increase of "hydrostatic" pressure with depth. Instead, there are zones of unequal flow potential juxaposed across faults and within sand/shale cycles which exert a complex force field on all fluid migration. This suggests that the entire Gulf Basin is currently in a hydrodynamic state. Gulf Basin hydrodynamics have strategic consequences for hydrocarbon migration and trapping because the fluid force field can disrupt or reinforce fault traps and other seals. Field examples from Midland-Escerwood, Acadia Parish, Louisiana and Chocolate Bayou, Brazoria County, Texas illustrate how fluid pressure environments affect hydrocarbon distribution and trapping. Safe drilling practice requires that casing be set in the shale transition zone separating hydrostatic pressures from overpressures. Gulf Basin undercompacted sediments create physical anomalies which are useful for prediction and analysis or pressure distribution. These are classified as follows: Before Drilling: seismic analysis and pressure calculations from available logs. During Drilling: drilling penetration rates, mud flow line temperatures and cuttings density, among many other criteria.
A Combined Superposition and Model Evolution Calculus

We present a new calculus for first-order theorem proving with equality, $ \mathcal{ME}+$Sup, which generalizes both the Superposition calculus and the Model Evolution calculus (with equality) by integrating their inference rules and redundancy criteria in a non-trivial way. The main motivation is to combine the advantageous features of these two rather complementary calculi in a single framework. In particular, Model Evolution, as a lifted version of the propositional DPLL procedure, contributes a non-ground splitting rule that effectively permits to split a clause into non variable disjoint subclauses. In the paper we present the calculus in detail. Our main result is its completeness under semantically justified redundancy criteria and simplification rules. We also show how under certain assumptions the model representation computed by a (finite and fair) derivation can be queried in an effective way.
The cooperative capital constraint revisited

There is little reason a priori to expect that a cooperative firm’s capital needs are different from a non-cooperative firm’s needs if the two firms are otherwise similar in function and size and operate within similar market economies. However, the notion that cooperatives face capital constraints that investor-owned firms (IOFs) do not is a persistent theme in the literature. The paper aims to discuss these issues.  The authors revisit this hypothesis with an empirical examination of capital constraints in a panel data set of US agricultural supply and grain cooperatives and IOFs.  The findings are mixed. While the authors find little to suggest that cooperatives face financial constraints on borrowing in the short run, relative to IOFs, the authors do find some evidence that for long-term investments, a capital constraint may exist.  These short and long run differences have implications for the survival and growth of agricultural cooperatives. While in the short run, access to debt financing allows these firms to operative profitably, ultimately long-term large investments in technology and fixed assets will be required to maintain competitiveness in this industry.
