Full text

Abstract:

When thinking about intentional states such as memory, there is a distinction drawn between “content” and “modes of presentation” of that content. How do field and observer perspectives relate to this distinction? By exploring the nature of first-personal de se thoughts, and how the self is represented in perspectival memory imagery, this chapter argues that field and observer perspectives are different ways of thinking about a particular past event. Field and observer perspective memories can have the same intentional object, in that they can be about the same past event, but they involve different modes of presentation of that past event. This chapter looks at how the mode of presentation affects the content of memory, and it shows that the self-presence of remembering from-the-outside is provided implicitly by the mode of presentation.

Dell, Christopher, and Ton Matton. Improvisation Technology as Mode of Redesigning the Urban. Edited by Benjamin Piekut and George E. Lewis. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199892921.013.21.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter elaborates on the notion of improvisation in urban design from a specific perspective, not as an informal, non-planning endeavor but as a way to re-use planning from a Situationist perspective. Design modulates to redesign. The aim is not to follow the ideology of creativity and its teleological imperative of creating something new but to work constructively with the “as found” in community to reassemble and draw relationships between actors and actants. Representational modes of design unveil their structural potential from an improvisational perspective: from a non-altering identity form to a performative (re)presentation of structure and relationship as open notation. The city is to be read as a performative process in which we all take part, whether we want to or not—externalization is over! It is about finding ways to internalize spatial relations, make them public, and act from there.

Full text

Abstract:

The need for any doctor to comprehend, assimilate, analyse, and form an opinion on data cannot be overestimated. This chapter examines the presentation and handling of such data and its subsequent statistical analysis. It covers the organization and description of data, measures of central tendency such as mean, median, and mode, measures of dispersion (standard deviation), and the problems of missing data. Theoretical distributions, such as the Gaussian distribution, are examined and the possibility of data transformation discussed. Inferential statistics are used as a means of comparing groups, and the rationale and use of parametric and non-parametric tests and confidence intervals is outlined. The analysis of categorical variables using the chi-squared test and assessing the value of diagnostic tests using sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and a likelihood ratio are discussed. Measures of association are covered, namely linear regression, as is time-to-event analysis using the Kaplan–Meier method. Finally, the chapter discusses the statistical analysis used when comparing clinical measurements—the Bland and Altman method. Illustrative examples, relevant to the practice of anaesthesia, are used throughout and it is hoped that this will provide the reader with an outline of the methodologies employed and encourage further reading where necessary.

Chen, Ruey-Lin. Experimental Individuation. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190636814.003.0009.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines the problem of individuation from the perspective of experimental practices. In previous work, the author suggests a conception of experimental individuality (defined by separability, manipulability, and maintainability of structural unity) extracted from experimental individuation whose process and conditions in turn are the topic of this chapter. The author identifies the creation of individuals in experimenting as the ontological mode of experimental individuation and the presentation of individuals as the epistemological mode. Three experimental cases (the creation of Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic condensates and the presentation of individual genes) are examined to explain the two modes. The author argues that effective experimental mechanisms and operative conditions for maintaining the structural unity of experimented entities when those entities are separated and manipulated occur in both modes of experimental individuation.

Schwabish, Jonathan. Better Presentations. Columbia University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.7312/columbia/9780231175210.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

Whether you are a university professor, researcher at a think tank, graduate student, or analyst at a private firm, chances are that at some point you have presented your work in front of an audience. Most of us approach this task by converting a written document into slides, but the result is often a text-heavy presentation saddled with bullet points, stock images, and graphs too complex for an audience to decipher—much less understand. Presenting is fundamentally different from writing, and with only a little more time, a little more effort, and a little more planning, you can communicate your work with force and clarity. Designed for presenters of scholarly or data-intensive content, Better Presentations details essential strategies for developing clear, sophisticated, and visually captivating presentations. Following three core principles—visualize, unify, and focus—Better Presentations describes how to visualize data effectively, find and use images appropriately, choose sensible fonts and colors, edit text for powerful delivery, and restructure a written argument for maximum engagement and persuasion. With a range of clear examples for what to do (and what not to do), the practical package offered in Better Presentations shares the best techniques to display work and the best tactics for winning over audiences. It pushes presenters past the frustration and intimidation of the process to more effective, memorable, and persuasive presentations.

Full text

Abstract:

Doppler examination is an integral part of the echocardiogram. Current systems are equipped with spectral Doppler in continuous wave mode (offering measurements of high velocities with limited spatial specificity due to integration of signal along the scan line), pulsed wave mode (high spatial specificity with maximal recordable velocity reduced by the Nyquist limit), and colour Doppler flow mapping (allowing rapid identification of flow pattern within a cross-sectional B-mode sector). Tissue Doppler echocardiography emerged as a basic tool for sampling regional myocardial velocities, in pulsed wave or colour velocity mapping mode. Finally, three-dimensional systems improve spatial presentation of flow phenomena by integrating Doppler-derived flow patterns in three-dimensional datasets.

Wise, Elspeth. Primary care presentation. Oxford University Press, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199642489.003.0015.

Full text

Abstract:

For many patients their first presentation to a medical professional with a musculoskeletal complaint is in a primary care setting. They may have as little as 10 minutes to explain their problem, be examined, and have a management plan determined. Quite commonly the musculoskeletal problem may present as an aside—by the way doctor, while I'm here'. All of this presents a challenge to the assessing primary care physician, who may have had little specific training for what makes up a large part of their workload. What training they have had may be inappropriate for their day-to-day job, as it is often secondary care led. The conditions that are classically seen in a secondary care setting and that are emphasized in the medical school curriculum are rarely seen in primary care. Patients also may not necessarily present with the classical symptoms described in textbooks; often it is over time, and with repeated contact, that the diagnosis may become more obvious. This chapter looks at the prevalence data for primary care and discusses the routine workload of a primary care physician.

Full text

Abstract:

Gout most typically presents as an acute monoarthritis in characteristic joints (first metatarsophalangeal joint, midfoot and ankle). These acute inflammatory attacks are accompanied by severe pain, swelling, and commonly by erythema over the affected joint. Such attacks are often incapacitating and fully develop within 12 hours resulting in a level of approximately 80% of maximum pain. Such attacks may resolve shortly during the first few gout attacks, but after having had more attacks they may take more than 5 days to resolve. In some patients with persistent hyperuricaemia, tophaceous disease with chronic gouty arthropathy may also occur. In this chapter, characteristics of such a clinical presentation are described.

Abstract:

This chapter seeks to lay out the chief hallmarks and manifestations of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), especially for readers who do not already have direct experience with its phenomenology. As such it lays a foundation for a more detailed discussion of focused topics that follows later in this volume. Common obsessions and compulsions are described, as well as typical characteristics. This disorder causes great suffering. It was long thought to be uncommon, was not well defined, and was subject to much misdiagnosis. Research and clinical experience over the past 35 years have done much to clarify the diagnosis, and are reviewed here.

Abstract:

Tables and figures demonstrate relationships among data and other types of information. A well-structured table is perhaps the most efficient way to convey a large amount of data in a scientific manuscript. As text, the same information may take considerably more space; if presented in a figure, key details and precise values may be less apparent. Text may be preferred if the information can be presented concisely (see Box). For qualitative information, text should be used if the relationships among data are simple and data are few, whereas a figure should be used if the relationships are complex. For quantitative information, a table should be used when the display of exact values is important, whereas a figure (eg, a line graph) should be used to demonstrate patterns or trends. Tables also are often preferable to graphics for small data sets and are preferred when data presentation requires many specific comparisons...

Abstract:

This chapter challenges the conventional narrative about the career of the New Haven School (NHS) by arguing that the mainstream discipline’s rejection of the policy-oriented methodology was not a rejection of policy thinking as such, but rather an opposition to the conceptualism and formulaic determinism of New Haven’s jurisprudence resulting from a peculiar combination of a contextualist methodology and a non-cognitive view of normative values of human dignity. Rather than between law and policy, the tension was between two different perceptions of flexibility and rigidity. This tension resulted from the NHS’s dogmatic and erroneous presentation of what they dubbed ‘traditional’ and ‘rule-oriented’ approaches as formalist and the mainstream discipline’s more accurate understanding of the policy-oriented international law as a new mode of formalism.

Full text

Abstract:

Acute heart failure syndromes consist of a spectrum of clinical presentations due to an impairment of some aspect of the cardiac function. They represent a final common pathway for a vast array of pathologies and may be either a de novo presentation or, more commonly, a decompensation of pre-existing chronic heart failure. Despite being one of the most common medical presentations, there are no definitively proven prognosis-modifying treatments. The mainstay of current therapy is oxygen and intravenous diuretics. However, within this spectrum of presentations, there is a crucial dichotomy which governs the ultimate treatment approach, i.e. the presence, or absence, of cardiogenic shock. Patients without cardiogenic shock may receive vasodilators, whilst shocked patients should be considered for treatment with inotropic therapy or mechanical circulatory support, when appropriate and where available.

Abstract:

This chapter examines what it calls ‘philosophical dramaturgy’—a challenge to theatricality that comes from a powerful philosophical appropriation of drama—and its claim that drama, as a mode of human self-understanding, can and does free itself from needing re-enactment or sensuous expression in order to present an understanding of human agency, historical existence, and inter-personal dynamics. The chapter first considers a few aspects of the philosophical accounts of drama of Aristotle and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel before discussing an instance of ‘philosophical dramaturgy’ in modern philosophy: the presentation of the life-and-death struggle (or ‘duel’) in Thomas Hobbes’sLeviathanand Hegel’sPhenomenology of Spirit. It then looks at William Shakespeare’s response to philosophical dramaturgy and shows how he presents us with a kind of infinite theatricality that is no less philosophical but that differs absolutely in its mode.

Abstract:

This chapter presents explicit computations of the first and second homology groups of the mapping class group. It begins with a simple proof, due to Harer, of the theorem of Mumford, Birman, and Powell; the proof includes the lantern relation, a relation in Mod(S) between seven Dehn twists. It then applies a method from geometric group theory to prove the theorem that Mod(Sɡ) is finitely presentable. It also provides explicit presentations of Mod(Sɡ), including the Wajnryb presentation and the Gervais presentation, and gives a detailed construction of the Euler class, the most basic invariant for surface bundles, as a 2-cocycle for the mapping class group of a punctured surface. The chapter concludes by explaining the Meyer signature cocycle and the important connection of this circle of ideas with the theory of Sɡ-bundles.

Full text

Abstract:

In light of the knowledge of monastic history he developed in the years preceding publication of The Excursion (1814), this chapter considers the implications of Wordsworth’s presentation of himself—in that poem’s Preface—as a recluse in retirement at work on a poetic ‘gothic Church’. It also offers a new interpretation of The Excursion as a generic experiment in the pastoral mode. Given the poem’s focus on the relative virtues and dangers of reclusion, this chapter suggests that monasticism provided the framework for Wordsworth’s critique of certain pastoral conceits that had become outworn in the eighteenth century. In The Excursion, Wordsworth develops a monastic-pastoral mode that corrects over-simplified, self-indulgent literary representations of the innocence and tranquillity of secluded rural life. The poem is thus interpreted as a sophisticated exploration of the intricate relationships between imagination and faith, poetry and silence, solitude and community.

Full text

Abstract:

There is considerable overlap of musculoskeletal manifestations of both rheumatological and endocrine disorders. Apart for the well-described autoimmune basis governing the aetiopathogenesis of clinical states pertaining to specific conditions affecting both systems, there is more recent evidence on the overlapping biology and genetics of these organ systems. Not uncommonly, endocrine manifestations can herald the initial presentation of rheumatological illnesses and the converse holds true for endocrinopathies. Rheumatologists and physicians alike need to be astutely aware of this overlap of symptomatology and also the physiology linking both groups of clinical conditions. This review discusses the common endocrine presentations associated with rheumatic illnesses in relation to newer information gleaned from population studies, genetic studies, and clinical presentations. A comprehensive list of rheumatological conditions found in endocrine states is also tabulated at the end.

Full text

Abstract:

The words we call slurs are just plain vanilla descriptions. They don’t semantically convey any disparagement of their referents, whether as content, conventional implicature, presupposition, “coloring” or mode of presentation. To use a slur is to exploit the Maxim of Manner to assert one’s affiliation with a group that has a disparaging attitude towards the word’s referent. Kraut is simply the conventional description for Germans among Germanophobes when they are speaking in that capacity. This account explains the familiar properties of slurs, such as their speaker orientation and “nondetachability,” as well as a number of unexplored features, such as the variation in tone among the different slurs for a particular group, with no need of additional linguistic mechanisms.

Abstract:

This chapter presents an ethnography of Christian theology. It does so by examining theological articulation in and through the creedal form. Creeds may be taken as an archetypal monologic mode of expression due to their monovocal presentation of standardized, non-debatable claims. Through close attention to how and why creeds are created it is possible to examination the contours and operations of the monological imagination. Drawing on fieldwork and archival research, this chapter explores the creedal articulation, as well as instances of disarticulation, within two North American Anabaptist service organizations, namely the Mennonite Central Committee and Christian Aid Ministries. Their differing strategies of theological articulation illuminate the uses and limits of monological discourse.

Abstract:

At a conference on developing the capacity of systems biology to transform itself in systems biomedicine, several of the scientists’ presentations showcase the computational modelling methods they are developing. Drawing towards the end of his presentation, an experienced pharmacologist admonishes the audience to bear in mind that, despite the progress in modelling techniques that he has been discussing, a model is always just a representation and never reality. At this point, there is a PowerPoint slide showing Magritte’s painting, This is not a Pipe, and chuckling from the audience. It will not have been the first time that they have seen it, as the painting is by now a trope running through these events, rivalled only by the quotation from George Box: ‘Essentially all models are wrong, but some are useful.’ Indeed, I have taken up this trope myself, but find that I need to judge my audience carefully when choosing what to move on with. ‘On Exactitude in Science’, but more problematic is to follow up with Picasso’s portrait of Gertrude Stein, together with the quotation attributed to Picasso: ‘Everybody says that she does not look like it but that does not make any difference, she will.’

Full text

Abstract:

The present study investigates speech, writing, and thought presentation in a corpus of 19th-century narrative fiction including, for instance, the novels Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Oliver Twist, and many others. All narratives typically contain a reference to or a quotation of someone’s speech, thoughts, or writing. These reports further a narrative, make it more interesting, natural, and vivid, ask the reader to engage with it, and, from a historical point of view, also reflect cultural understandings of the modes of discourse presentation. To a large extent, the way a reader perceives a story depends upon the ways discourse is presented, and among these, speech, writing, and thought, which reflect a character’s disposition and state of mind. Being at the intersection of linguistic and literary stylistics, this study develops a new corpus-stylistic approach for systematically analyzing the different narrative strategies of historical discourse presentation in key pieces of 19th-century narrative fiction, thus identifying diachronic patterns as well as unique authorial styles, and places them within their cultural-historical context. It shows that the presentation of characters’ minds reflects an ideological as well as an epistemological concern about what cannot be reported, portrayed, or narrated and that discourse presentation fulfills the narratological functions of prospection and encapsulation, marks narrative progression, and shapes readers’ expectations as to suspense or surprise.

Abstract:

The majority of bladder stones in Western practice are secondary to underlying pathology—bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic enlargement in men and urethral obstruction from pelvic prolapse or cystocele in women, chronic infection in the neuropathic or augmented bladder, or in the neobladder. While the pathology of endemic bladder stones remains as it always was, the advent of augmentation cystoplasty and rising use of the neobladder after cystectomy has, through a different pathological mechanism, led to a rise in frequency of bladder stones. The mode of presentation of bladder stones and diagnostic technique are reviewed in this chapter. Treatment options are determined, to a significant degree, by the clinical context in which the stone arise, the major determinant of the approach to such stones being the calibre of the conduit (urethra or Mitrofanoff) through which access to the bladder is achieved.
