Abstract:
In recent decades the clinical condition of the permanent vegetative state has raised debates regarding the treatment of those patients who, as a result of brain damage, have irreversibly lost consciousness while biologically continuing to live. The media have also provided ample coverage of celebrated cases, such as those of Karen Quinlan, Anthony Bland, Terry Schiavo and Eluana Englaro. Behind these names are the stories of individuals, moral dilemmas that incite reflection and throw down challenges to the law. This book contains essays by experts in various disciplinary areas – philosophy, religion and law – and is designed to offer a contribution to the debate, so as to clarify which instruments can best protect human rights and dignity even in borderline clinical situations.

Abstract:
Tecnologie riproduttive e tutela della persona. This book emerged from the collaboration between the department of Biolaw of the University of Florence and the non-profit association Madre Provetta. It represents the first stage in a larger editorial project that aspires to contribute study and research to build towards a common European law on bioethics. The authors who have collaborated on this book are among the leading experts, in their respective fields, on questions raised by technologies of reproduction, which are here elaborated at both medical-scientific level and in their relation to sociology, bioethics, law and politics. The various contributions are divided into three specific thematic areas: liberty of reproduction and rights of the individual, pre-implant genetic diagnosis and the freedom and limitations of scientific research.

The most famous and influential classical ‘novel’ is Xenophon’s Cyropaedia, focusing on the hybrid (half-Persian, half-Mede) king. The interpretative issues raised by the Cyropaedia (is it praise or critique?) can be better understood if we consider its subject as semiotically hybrid, balancing the manly, regal mode of Persia against the decadent mode of Media.

Abstract:
In this chapter I defend the claim, in response to the challenge raised by Soteriou in the previous chapter, that there is one kind of thing—a sound—that we hear whenever we hear something. The argument for this develops the idea that we should think of sounds as things that mediate our perception of things other than sounds. If successful, this argument would both show that we should reject a more catholic conception of the bearers of acoustic feature, and also raise a challenge to defenders of the view that sounds are events occurring to or involving their sources.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the media's contribution to America's naiveté about illegal drugs—heroin, cocaine, marijuana—and drug effects before psychedelic drugs were introduced. Until the 1960s, pressure from U.S. government agencies and industry self-regulation discouraged information about drug use in television and film. Government officials and prohibition ideologues played determinative roles in setting a news-media agenda that was hostile toward drug use and drug users, and omitted acknowledgment of drugs' potentially enticing effects. Themes about drug use that were initially raised in antinarcotics crusades following World War I were revived in the 1950s by public officials in highly publicized hearings reported by newspapers and covered live in broadcast media.

Full text
Abstract:
According to a core doctrine in aesthetics, the arts comprise a collection of art media, each characteristically perceived through a different sense modality. This doctrine depends on a doctrine in the theory of perception according to which it is possible to distinguish the senses in certain ways. Thus the view that pictures are essentially visual depends on the view that the content of vision is uniquely perspectival; pictures are visual because they are perspectival. However, raised-line drawings made by congenitally blind people cast both views in doubt. The chapter considers the implications of this conclusion for aesthetics and for theories of vision.

Abstract:
“Media and Communication” surveys the historical development and present form of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary studies of media and communication. It begins with a brief historical sketch of media and communication in order to indicate the kinds of phenomena motivating the studies. This sketch indicates that the four primary drivers of interdisciplinarity are present in this field. Media and communication are (1) inherently complex, (2) raise questions that are not confined to a single discipline, (3) pose societal problems that transcend the academy, and (4) are tightly linked to new technologies. Indeed, media and communication studies are motivated in large part by the complex questions and social changes brought about by new technologies.

Full text
Abstract:
Why do we need to communicate science? Is science, with its highly specialised language and its arcane methods, too distant to be understood by the public? Is it really possible for citizens to participate meaningfully in scientific research projects and debate? Should scientists be mandated to engage with the public to facilitate better understanding of science? How can they best communicate their special knowledge to be intelligible? These and a plethora of related questions are being raised by researchers and politicians alike as they have become convinced that science and society need to draw nearer to one another. Once the persuasion took hold that science should open up to the public and these questions were raised, it became clear that coming up with satisfactory answers would be a complex challenge. The inaccessibility of scientific language and methods, due to ever increasing specialisation, is at the base of its very success. Thus, translating specialised knowledge to become understandable, interesting and relevant to various publics creates particular perils. This is exacerbated by the ongoing disruption of the public discourse through the digitisation of communication platforms. For example, the availability of medical knowledge on the internet and the immense opportunities to inform oneself about health risks via social media are undermined by the manipulable nature of this technology that does not allow its users to distinguish between credible content and misinformation. In countries around the world, scientists, policy-makers and the public have high hopes for science communication: that it may elevate its populations educationally, that it may raise the level of sound decision-making for people in their daily lives, and that it may contribute to innovation and economic well-being. This collection of current reflections gives an insight into the issues that have to be addressed by research to reach these noble goals, for South Africa and by South Africans in particular.

Abstract:
The deleterious effects of raised intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on organ function and mortality have been known for decades, even centuries. Interest in this phenomenon has revived since the 1980s and, recently, the World Society for the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome has published new consensus definitions and guidelines. This chapter will focus on the new definitions for intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), identify risk factors for the development of IAH/ACS, provide guidelines for IAP monitoring (including when to start, how to measure, and when to stop), and discuss both surgical and medical treatment options for both IAH and ACS. The effect of increased IAP on different organ systems is explained and suggestions on how to adjust ICU management of the patient with IAH are offered.

Abstract:
Since those born blind can draw and interpret raised-line drawings, depiction is not an essentially visual medium. Conceding this, Robert Hopkins denies that raised-line drawings can be works of pictorial art: tactile experiences of raised-line drawings are not aesthetic experiences. This paper addresses Hopkins’s concerns. The reasons given for evaluating a picture aesthetically can cite its tactile qualities instead of its visual qualities. In particular, a raised-line picture can be valued for how it evokes a tactile experience of a worldly scene, just as a visual picture can be valued for how it evokes a visual experience of its subject.

Abstract:
During the 1980s and 1990s, Mayo implemented strategies to confront increasing regional competition. Clinic leaders were concerned about the managed care movement and other factors causing uncertainty about the future of health care. The institution entered new markets in Florida and Arizona. Mayo re-emphasized its commitment to patient care at the same time it devoted additional resources to medical education and research. The Cardiovascular Division sought to enhance its national reputation by sponsoring more continuing medical education programs. To protect referral patterns, it established outreach programs that sent cardiologists and specialized diagnostic technologies (such as echocardiography) to sites in surrounding counties. Mayo has long been a leader in employing state-of-the-art heart care technologies. Increasingly, however, questions about the appropriate use of technologies have been raised. Mayo was an early adopter of the electronic medical record and the notion of empowering patients by providing information in several formats, including social media.

Abstract:
This book aims to analyze four crossdressers narratives who have been imprisoned for different periods of time in order to raise debates on resistance ways carried out by each one of them. The crossdressers interviewed here were reached by different connections such as friends in common, social media or phone calls, which did not represent a closed and narrowed field but one that it is open and flexible. The issues raised here tried to sketch the crossdresser category through the words by crossdressers writers along with the concepts about themselves and self- determinations, therefore shaping a kind of autobiography even if it is led by a semi- structured script. The existing connections among them, beyond the crossdresser category, lie at first in their access to the prison system and later in finding ways to make it possible to go through life imprisonment. These articulated methods are tactics thought in the space and time web, that is, on a daily basis. This is also one of the book investigation focuses, once it matters to understand not the crossdressers heroic actions, but the ordinary ones, the usual ones, articulated according to educational backgrounds thought as being a less important education.

Abstract:
Neurological assessment is performed on admission for surgery, as a routine part of medical examination. This is done to diagnose whether symptoms of illness in the patient are due to neurological conditions and, if so, where in the nervous system the pathological lesions are located. Hydrocephalus is either an acute or chronic condition whereby the cerebrospinal fluid pressure rises, causing symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. Patients at risk of raised intracranial pressure should be nursed by staff trained and experienced in neurological assessment using the Glasgow coma scale. This chapter looks at neurological assessment, raised intracranial pressure, head injuries, and brain and spinal tumours. This chapter also discusses the management of subarachnoid haemorrhage, cerebral aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations, and epilepsy. Finally, the chapter provides an overview of degenerative diseases of the spine and peripheral nerve injury.

Full text
Abstract:
The internet has emerged as an important medium for terrorists. Two key trends can be discerned from cyberterrorism: the democratization of communications driven by user generated content on the internet, and modern terrorists’ growing awareness of the internet’s potential for their purposes. The internet has become a favorite tool of the terrorists because of the many advantages it provides, such as easy access; little or no regulation, censorship, or other forms of government control; potentially huge audiences spread throughout the world; anonymity of communication; fast flow of information; interactivity; inexpensive development and maintenance of a Web presence; a multimedia environment; and the ability to influence coverage in the traditional mass media. These advantages make the network of computer-mediated communication ideal for terrorists-as-communicators. Terrorist groups of all sizes maintain their own websites to spread propaganda, raise funds and launder money, recruit and train members, communicate and conspire, plan and launch attacks. They also rely on e-mail, chatrooms, e-groups, forums, virtual message boards, and resources like YouTube, Facebook, and Google Earth. Fighting online terrorism raises the issue of countermeasures and their cost. The virtual war between terrorists and counterterrorism forces and agencies is certainly a vital, dynamic, and ferocious one. It is imperative that we become better informed about the uses to which terrorists put the internet and better able to monitor their activities. Second, we must defend our societies better against terrorism without undermining the very qualities and values that make our societies worth defending.

Abstract:
Several complex changes affect the legacy press system: failing business models and diminished journalistic capacity, the proliferation of dubiously sourced information flowing into the mass media through interconnected digital networks, and news audiences exercising greater choice about what news to follow and believe. These trends raise questions about traditional approaches to understanding news: Where, and with what consequences, does indexing—the journalistic filtering of news sources and content through perceived government power balances—continue to hold sway? Is there evidence for a decline in gatekeeping and an increase in narrative-driven news? What are the consequences of a changing news system for public engagement and democratic legitimacy? This discussion explores the implications of the increasing democratization of truth as the news system loses the capacity to assess evidence, reject groundless narratives, and anchor public debates in reasonable standards.

Abstract:
The book concludes by articulating what medical nihilism might entail for medical research, regulation, and treatment. There have been many proposed solutions to problems raised in this book, ranging from minor modifications to medical research (like requiring the registration of trials prior to data collection, and open access to trial data), to revolutionary changes (such as the complete socialization of medical research). These proposals for realigning medical research are evaluated, and proposals that are consistent with medical nihilism are articulated. These include stricter standards for detecting benefits and harms of medical interventions, a closer scrutiny of corporate research, and a shift in the research agenda away from barely effective pharmaceuticals toward projects with potential for greater impact, such as research on the importance of diet and exercise, and on neglected tropical diseases.

Abstract:
Communication technology has increased availability of public affairs information, but many citizens ignore it. How do greater availability and less widespread consumption of news affect political accountability? Not all citizens have to follow the news for media coverage to improve accountability. Under some conditions, higher levels of news exposure and political knowledge in a relatively small subset of the population could strengthen accountability, even when other citizens follow the news less than in the past. For this to work, news junkies must effectively represent the interests of those who are tuning out. If news junkies have different interests than the rest of the population, their efforts to monitor officials and raise concerns may lead to less representative government and lower accountability. As a result of more media choice, the task of holding elected officials accountable rests increasingly on a small segment of the population.

Abstract:
The American Psychiatric Association’sPrinciples of Medical Ethicsemphasize competence, respect and up-to-date knowledge as a basis for appropriate professional behavior toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients. This chapter first reviews historical psychiatric attitudes towards LGBT patients that could be construed, at best, as patronizing and, at worst, overtly hostile. In modern clinical practice, as opposed to trying to “cure” homosexuality or “transsexualism,” LGBT patients are helped to live their lives according to their own natures and desires. This chapter outlines some common clinical questions raised by LGBT patients—what is known and not known about the origins of homosexuality and transgenderism, sexual orientation conversion efforts (SOCE), therapist self-disclosure, how therapists should address LGBT patients, and controversies surrounding treatment of transgender children—as well as ethical issues raised in these clinical encounters.

Abstract:
How Jews use media to connect with one another has profound consequences for Jewish identity, community, and culture. This volume explores how the use of media can both create communities and divide them because of how different media shape actions and project anxieties, conflicts, and emotions. Taken together, the chapters consider how Jewish use of media at home and in the street, as well as in the synagogue and in school, affects the individual's sense of ethnic and religious affiliation. They include closely observed case studies, in various national contexts, of the role of popular film, television, records, the Internet, and smartphones, as well as the role of print media, now and historically. They raise fascinating questions about how Jews and Jewish institutions harness, tolerate, or resist media to create their sense of social belonging as Jews within the wider society.

Abstract:
The rapid pace of technological change over the last decade, particularly in relation to social media and network connectivity, has deeply affected the ways in which individuals, groups, and institutions interact socially: This includes how music is made, learned, and taught globally in all manner of diverse contexts. The multiple ways in which social media and social networking intersect with the everyday life of the musical learner are at the heart of this book. The Oxford Handbook of Social Media and Music Learning opens up an international discussion of what it means to be a music learner, teacher, producer, consumer, individual, and community member in an age of technologically-mediated relationships that continue to break down the limits of geographical, cultural, political, and economic place. This book is aimed at those who teach and train music educators as well as current and future music educators. Its primary goal is to draw attention to the ways in which social media, musical participation, and musical learning are increasingly entwined by examining questions, issues, concerns, and potentials this raises for formal, informal, and non-formal musical learning and engagement in a networked society. It provides an international perspective on a variety of related issues from scholars who are leaders in the field of music education, new media, communications, and sociology in the emerging field of social media.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter further articulates the hybrid account of effectiveness presented in Chapter 2 and applies it to several pressing problems with disease attribution. A medical intervention can act at several physical scales or levels; it is at least pragmatically useful to think of some of our most effective medical interventions (‘magic bullets’) operating at microphysiological levels. A medical intervention can be effective to varying degrees of generality, though ultimately what matters for the typical patient is whether or not an intervention will be effective for that patient. The hybrid account of disease affords a critical stance on several troubling phenomena in medical science, including medicalization or ‘disease-mongering’ and overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The chapter ends by addressing several objections that might be raised against the hybrid account of effectiveness presented in Chapter 2 and its further articulation and application here.

The tabloid press in Britain has been embroiled in a number of cases involving royalty, pop stars, film stars, fashion models, and the like. The telephone hacking scandal in the United Kingdom led to the the Leveson Inquiry Report of 2012—the most comprehensive investigation into the ethics and practice of the media, with a significant section devoted to privacy and media intrusion. Its recommendations relating to media self-regulation continue to engender heated debate in Britain. The Internet raises new, intractable problems that surface almost daily. The extent to which privacy is voluntarily relinquished by users of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube is examined, and proposals for reform are considered.

Abstract:
The medical humanities are at a critical juncture. On the one hand, practitioners of this field can bask in their recent successes: in the UK, at least, what was once a loose set of intuitions – broadly about animating the clinical and research spaces of biomedicine with concepts and methods from the humanities – has become a visible and coherent set of interventions, with its own journals, conferences, centres, funding streams and students. On the other hand, the growth, coherence and stratification of this heterogeneous domain have raised the spectre of just what, exactly, the medical humanities is growing into. In particular, scholars have begun to worry that the success of the medical humanities is tied up with being useful to biomedicine, that the medical humanities has been able to establish itself only by appearing as the domain of pleasant (but more or less inconsequential) helpmeets.
