Abstract:
There is little convincing agreement in the literature on the definition, measurement, and application of hope. The usual platitude—where there's life, there's hope—does not clarify the confusion, and clinical practice puts paid to a simplistic approach to hope.A 28 year-old man with widespread melanoma is hoping the doctor will offer him a new treatment. He hopes he will marry and have a family. The hopes to us are unrealistic—but for him they are tangible, the stuff of life, the dreams that keep him going. What should clinicians do with this man's hopes? Should we support him medically, for the sake of hope? Does hoping prolong life against death? Should we encourage unproven therapies as elixirs of hope? When hope clashes with reality and causes angst, is it better to jettison hope, or reality? What does acceptance of death mean in terms of hope? What can it mean to live without hope?

Abstract:
Objective: To complete an integrative review of the studies on pediatric chronic illness utilizing the Children's Hope Scale to determine the association between hope and thechronically ill child. Method: A comprehensive review of PubMed, PsycINFO, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, ProQuest, and Dissertations Theses was completed. Titles were reviewed, selected abstracts were then assessed, and full papers were obtained. Results: Ten studies were found which met the specified inclusion criteria: participants less than or equal to 19 years of age, an illness of more than three months in duration, and hope measured by the Children's Hope Scale. The studies found some support for the positive effect of hope for children with chronic illness, but more research needs to be done with larger samples. Conclusion: This integrative review supports the positive impact of hope on the chronically ill child and the need for additional research on the role of hope in the chronically ill child.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Throughout his oeuvre J.M. Coetzee dismantles the Cartesian vision of human life in which the body is merely a cage enclosing the true self, the consciousness or soul. His fiction demonstrates that this dualistic vision turns the subject inward upon herself which alienates her from her body, the world and other people. For Coetzee, it was largely this dualistic vision that allowed for the conception of absolute otherness upon which the age of European expansion and colonization was premised. He draws on Merleau-Ponty's 'being-in-the-world' and on the Christian idea of the Incarnation to construct his own unique vision of a unified body-soul. This unified conception of being turns the subject outward into the world where she can reach out to other people. This reaching out can take the form of moments of 'ekstasis,' or standing outside the self, which, in the best of cases, is also caristas, or selfless love. For Coetzee, this love is a kind of earthly grace.
Résumé Dans son oeuvre, J.M. Coetzee démonte le concept Cartésien de la vie humaine, pour laquelle le corps perd so importance et n'est qu'un enrobage pour l'esprit, qui lui règne sur le tout. Ses romans démontrent que cette vision dualiste renferme le sujet dans ses propres pensées, ce qui l'éloigne de son proper corps, du monde, et d'autrui. Pour Coetzee, cette vision dualiste des Européens leur a causé de percevoir les indigènes comme des Autres absolus avec lesquels ils ne peuvent s'identifier. Cette vision est à la base de l'esclavage et de la colonisation. Pour constuire son proper concept de l'unité du corps et de l'esprit, Coetzee utilise l'idée chrétienne de l'incarnation et de 'l'être au monde' élaborée par Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Le concept d'un être unifié libère le sujet de son monde interne, et l'ouvre vers le monde d'autrui où il peut s'approcher des autres. Ce rapprochement permet au sujet de développer une charité, ou 'Caritas,' envers l'autre, ce qui constitue, pour Coetzee, une forme de grâce.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to make an original contribution to the body of scholarship on the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard (1931-89) by presenting a text-based investigation of his five-part autobiographical cycle (Die Ursache (1975), Der Keller (1976), Der Atem (1978), Die Kälte (1981), and Ein Kind (1982)), and the prose narratives, Beton (1982) and Auslöschung (1986). In the Introduction, I detail the method adopted to construct the argument of the thesis, after discussing pertinent aspects of Bernhard criticism and its reluctance to approach the prose fiction from a textual perspective. Chapter I examines specific stylistic devices and themes found in the autobiographies and relates them to the emergence of a greater narratorial desire to communicate with the reader and a nascent sense of personal hope. After the tortuous narratives of the sixties and early seventies which made Bernhard's reputation as a nihilistic, negative writer, the autobiographical pentalogy gives evidence of a lighter, more direct expression. The second chapter, on Beton, focuses on a number of themes (human contact, perfectionism, and music and literature) which reveal a more positive outlook in the aftermath of the autobiographical project. The third chapter, on Auslöschung, concentrates on a protagonist who has achieved considerable personal fulfilment and who manages to overcome the emotional and psychological obstacles which his predecessors in Bernhard's prose were unable to surmount. The aim of the thesis, to expose and analyse the aspects of communication and hope recurrent in Bernhard's prose works after 1975, is achieved through close reading reinforced by pertinent biographical and literary evidence. It is hoped that, by undertaking a critical examination of selected narratives, this thesis fills a critical lacuna in the substantial secondary material on Bernhard.

Full text
Abstract:

The prevalence of alcoholic writers in 20th-century American literature reached what has been called epidemic proportions. Many of these writers wrote autobiographical accounts of their alcoholism through alter egos in their literary works. Of these, perhaps none is as extensive and detailed as Charles Bukowski's persona Henry Chinaski. This thesis is a case study of Chinaski's alcoholism through five of Bukowski's autobiographical novels. In it, I explore the complexities of Chinaski's alcoholism and make the claim that social alienation is a driving force for the onset and the intensity of his alcohol addiction. The novels span Chinaski's life from youth to old age, and factors such as childhood abuse and labor conditions in the post-Depression era work to alienate him. Through close, contextual reading of Bukowski's novels aided with sociological and medical scholarship on addiction, the relationship between alienation and alcoholism is explored.

Abstract:
Virtual reality in one form or another has been around for over 50 years, most notably in entertainment and business environments. Technology-focused teachers have been leading the way with attempts at utilising and integrating virtual reality into K-12 and Higher Education. However, as quickly as technology changes so does the enthusiasm for the use in educational contexts. Much of this is due to the high-level cost (time and money) with no evidence-based educational return. In 2020 the global pandemic forced the education sector to innovate to provide authentic learning environments for students. The time is right for virtual reality to take centre stage. Over 171 million people worldwide currently use virtual reality, and the market in education is expected to grow by 42% over the next five years. This paper focuses on a range of virtual reality literature encompassing work across the spectrum of software and hardware, identifying where more educational implementation and research needs to be done and providing a perspective on future possibilities focusing on current affordances.

Abstract:
We address the question of why global university rankings should not be used for research evaluation. To answer this question, we analyze four groups of literature (academic vs non-academic literature, English-language vs Russian-language literature). The analysis shows that most researchers agree that rankings should not be used to evaluate research. However, they are still used for these purposes directly or indirectly, although recent developments give us hope for a change in the situation in the near future.

Abstract:
China has a history of five thousand years, in the long river of history to retain a lot of excellent culture, affecting the generations. Under the background of the new era, China is striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, so the excellent traditional culture cannot be forgotten by time but should be passed on continuously. In recent years, with the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the exchanges between countries in the world have become more and more close. In this process, different cultures also blend and collide with each other. China's traditional culture has experienced thousands of years of development, in the new era today has also ushered in a new hope of development. The inheritance of traditional culture mainly depends on three ways, namely: literature, traditional customs and traditional festivals. Specifically, traditional culture relies more on literary forms to inherit and develop. Therefore, the major of Chinese language and literature bears the responsibility of inheriting traditional culture and is also an important part of promoting the development of traditional culture. Chinese language and literature gather the wisdom of ancient, modern, modern and contemporary literati. In the process of learning Chinese language and literature, we can understand the customs and culture. Therefore, this paper takes Chinese language and literature as the entry point to study the function of inheriting traditional culture in Chinese language and literature.

Full text
Abstract:
Ideally decisions regarding medical treatments would be informed by the totality of the available evidence. The best evidence we currently have is in published natural language articles describing the conduct and results of clinical trials. Because these are unstructured, it is difficult for domain experts (e.g., physicians) to sort through and appraise the evidence pertaining to a given clinical question. Natural language technologies have the potential to improve access to the evidence via semi-automated processing of the biomedical literature. In this brief paper I highlight work on developing tasks, corpora, and models to support semi-automated evidence retrieval and extraction. The aim is to design models that can consume articles describing clinical trials and automatically extract from these key clinical variables and findings, and estimate their reliability. Completely automating `machine reading' of evidence remains a distant aim given current technologies; the more immediate hope is to use such technologies to help domain experts access and make sense of unstructured biomedical evidence more efficiently, with the ultimate aim of improving patient care. Aside from their practical importance, these tasks pose core NLP challenges that directly motivate methodological innovation.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explored creative entrepreneurs’ experiences of hope in navigating precarious working conditions in the Ghanaian fashion industry. The inquiry was motivated by a mistaken belief in the existing entrepreneurial literature that successful creative entrepreneurs enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. However, the reality in the creative arts sector is that individual entrepreneurs must deal with wave after wave of tumultuous work environments caused by precarity. Emerging research reveals that issues of precarity within the fashion industry have been intensified due to the influx of substitute goods and governmental structural adjustment programs. The fashion and entrepreneurship scholarship acknowledges that several fashion entrepreneurs are ‘hustling’ to build and sustain their labels and brands in the face of difficulties. However, we discovered that rather than giving up, entrepreneurs must persevere, resilient and bounce-back. Ghanaian fashion owners focus on and theorize the most prevalent practices of navigating, coping with, and managing compounded precarity: that of hope. In this paper, we examine the ‘practical dimensions of futurity’, how precarity is worked on, and how one may become more than one presently is or was fated to be. This notion is in contrast to the precarity-induced state of paralysis caused by waiting. This paper explores the strategies, practices, and spatial dynamics of hope in the Ghanaian fashion industry. Taking a comparative and intersectional approach, we explore the practices and narratives that fashion entrepreneurs construct in such dire work conditions. This fact has implications for how we think about hope and entrepreneurship in the fashion industry. By so doing, this study contributes to the ongoing conceptual debates regarding the nature of creative work in the fashion industry. Therefore, this paper, examined two (2) research questions: (i) what are creative entrepreneurs’ experiences of precarity in the Ghanaian fashion industry? (ii) How do creative entrepreneurs cope with precarity in the Ghanaian fashion industry?

Abstract:
Aging brings with it some limitations that become more pronounced with advancing age, and psychological, physical, behavioral, and social changes can reduce the quality of life of the elderly, who seek spirituality. Spirituality is a tool for coping with difficulties and attributing meaning to life, providing hope, faith, and motivation. This study analyzed the health aspects associated with spirituality in community-dwelling elderly people. This is an integrative review that synthesized the scientific production with the guiding question: What scientific knowledge production on health-related aspects are associated with better levels of spirituality in community-dwelling elderly people in Brazil? Articles with the descriptors in Portuguese and English were selected: spirituality, aged, and quality of life with the following inclusion criteria: published in full, available electronically, in Portuguese, English, and/or Spanish, published between 2015 and 2020, in the SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, and Capes Periodical Portal databases. A total of 130 articles were identified, and 15 were selected that presented evidence on the influence of spirituality on the quality of life of the elderly. After reading the articles, two categories of analysis emerged: I – The experience of spirituality in situations of chronic diseases, and II – The relationship of spirituality with the well-being/quality of life of the elderly. Most of the studies showed positive effects of spirituality on health outcomes, with better physical health conditions, quality of life, longer survival, lower rates of depression and lower prevalence of chronic diseases. In addition, it demonstrated the ability to withstand limitations and protect against stress in the face of changes in aging. Finally, the results indicate a positive influence of spirituality on the quality of life of the elderly. The importance of spirituality for health practices and the need to value it and include it in professional health training are highlighted.

Abstract:
The literature on computerized models that help detect, study and understand signs of mental health disor- ders from social media has been thriving since the mid-2000s for English speakers. In Brazil, this area of research shows promising results, in addition to a variety of niches that still need exploring. Thus, we construct a large corpus from 2941 users (1486 depressive, 1455 non-depressive), and induce machine learning models to identify signs of depression from our Twitter corpus. In order to achieve our goal, we extract features by measuring linguistic style, behavioral patterns, and affect from users’ public tweets and metadata. Resulting models successfully distinguish between depressive and non-depressive classes with performance scores comparable to results in the literature. We hope that our findings can become stepping stones towards more methodologies being applied at the service of mental health.

Presently there is a worldwide effort to pursue studies of the use of lasers on biomedical materials. The pending FEL facilities raises the hope that a pulsed tunable UV laser can be developed into a valuable surgical tool to provide a selective and controllable dosage of spatial and temporal ionizing radiation for use on the human body. However, the medical literature is bereft of systematic and reliable information on the interactions of lasers and biomedical materials. One necessary study is characterization of the interaction as a function of the laser beam parameters, which consist of wave length, pulse duration, power, geometric size, and penetration depth.

Abstract:
This paper studies the international entrepreneurial orientation of rapidly internationalizing services firms (RISFs) and its relationship to three of their foreign market activities. Using multiple case studies we explore the research question: How does the international entrepreneurial orientation of rapidly internationalizing service firms affect their foreign market entry, market penetration, and growth? We build on entrepreneurship and international services literature to develop our research question that leads to the advancement of seven propositions as a foundation for further research. Three entrepreneurial orientation elements were investigated, of which proactiveness and innovativeness seemed to have the strongest links to RISF foreign activities. The analysis also uncovered interesting insights about RISF innovativeness some of which contradict extant services literature. Our paper makes three contributions: it provides empirical insights about RISFs, addressing a historical shortage of international services firm studies; it answers calls for further research in this area; it introduces an empirical analysis on service firm innovativeness at an international level, lending weight to similar future studies. We separately hope our research contributes to International Entrepreneurship research via our results linking RISF foreign activities and international entrepreneurial orientation.

Abstract:
The International Labour Organization estimates that, globally, approximately two billion people are employed in the informal economy. Of this, 740 million are female workers [1]. In Asia and Africa, a large proportion of non-agricultural female workforce is employed in the informal economy in urban areas. Women workers are concentrated in sectors such as domestic work, street vending, waste picking and home-based work [2,3].

Abstract:
There is a small but growing body of literature that discusses the benefits, challenges and opportunities of intersectional responses to the socioeconomic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. There is a strong body of evidence pointing to the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 borne by women, who have suffered record job losses, been expected to take on even greater unpaid care burdens and home schooling responsibilities, and faced a “shadow pandemic” of violence against women and girls. However, gender inequalities cannot be discussed in isolation from other inequalities. Emerging literature stresses the importance of a Covid-19 recovery plan that addresses how gender intersects with class, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, geography, immigration status and religion or belief, and other factors such as employment, housing (and homelessness) and environmental and political stressors.

Full text
Abstract:
SARS-CoV-2 screen testing is routine serial testing of asymptomatic individuals outside of outbreak or known exposure settings to identify staff infectious with SARS-CoV-2 and exclude them from work. Routine asymptomatic screen testing of staff has been proposed as a potential mitigating strategy to reduce SARS-CoV-2 introduction and transmission in long-term care (LTC) homes. A rapid review of the literature found no real-world evidence to either support or refute screen testing in preventing LTC home COVID-19 outbreaks. There are several direct harms associated with screen testing, as well as opportunity costs, including exacerbating LTC staffing shortages. On the basis of the evidence reviewed, and given the high rates of protection of COVID-19 vaccines against symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, the potential harms and costs of screen testing among vaccinated LTC home staff likely outweigh the benefits.

Pyogenic Hepatic Abscess Formation after Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: A Case Report and Literature Review of an Infrequently Encountered Postoperative Complication.

Abstract:
Introduction and Importance: Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is an uncommon postoperative complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Radiological investigations such as abdominal ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) are crucial to evaluate and diagnose intra-abdominal abscesses, especially hepatic collections. Case Presentation: A 66-year-old female patient with multiple comorbidities, including urticaria requiring monoclonal antibody therapy (humera). She underwent an uneventful RYGB to treat her weight regain and reflux after a prior sleeve gastrectomy and presented with diffuse abdominal pain. This occurred on postoperative day 23 after the patient was discharged home. Patient evaluation was initiated by physical examination, laboratory investigations, and radiological diagnostic tools. Chest and abdominal X-rays together with abdominal ultrasonography were unremarkable. Then, abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans with IV contrast were done, and a liver abscess was detected. Image-guided percutaneous transhepatic liver abscess drainage through pigtail drain placement was performed. The patient’s response was evaluated by serial abdominal CT scans. The liver abscess was successfully treated by percutaneous drainage for 5 weeks and IV antibiotic therapy. Clinical Discussion: PLA is a rare entity that might occur after gastro-intestinal surgery such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Patients with a history of immunosuppressive therapy may be at increased risk of this complication. This life-threatening complication can be prevented by treating liver abscesses early on by utilizing imaging-guided drainage and intravenous antibiotics. Conclusion: Due to the unusual etiologic origin of hepatic abscess post-RYGB, we report the case of a 66-year-old female with diffuse abdominal pain, which was found to be caused by PLA.
