Stroud, Natalie Jomini. Understanding and Overcoming Selective Exposure and Judgment When Communicating About Science. Edited by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Dan M. Kahan, and Dietram A. Scheufele. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190497620.013.41.
Full textAbstract:
Before turning to an evaluation of strategies to overcome selective exposure and judgment, this chapter demonstrates that these selectivity processes occur with respect to science but not in all circumstances. Strategies to curb the occurrence of selectivity are discussed based on the information conveyed and the motivational state of a person encountering scientific information. Theories and research on accountability to others, anxiety, self-affirmation, defensive confidence, and normative information are discussed as ways to reduce selectivity. No one strategy emerges as a cure-all, prompting the presentation of a future research agenda to examine strategies to overcome selective exposure and judgment.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural humility is described as a lifelong process and a commitment to self-evaluation and self-reflection that encourages an appreciation of growth and understanding. This puts healthcare providers and patients in a mutually beneficial relationship that attempts to diminish damaging power dynamics. The chapter includes the presentation and discussion of the following attributes of introspection: awareness of self and other; supportive interactions; mutual empowerment; partnerships; respect; optimal care; and lifelong learning. Cultural humility applies a variety of contexts, from ethnic and racial differences, to sexual orientation and identity, to social status, to interpersonal communication styles of different cultures, cultural belief systems, and practices.

Naides, Stanley J. Viral arthritis. Oxford University Press, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199642489.003.0102.
Full textAbstract:
Viral infection may cause sudden onset polyarthralgia or polyarthritis. Recognizing viral syndromes during the acute phase of illness is critical as markers of acute infection may fade during convalescence. While joint symptoms and signs in many cases are self limited, in others joint involvement may persist for months to years. Acute and chronic findings may resemble classic idiopathic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. Some viral infections may manifest with rash, vasculitis, or organ involvement. Understanding of epidemiology, geography, clinical presentation, virus behaviour and host response assists diagnosis and selection of appropriate management. Understanding virus-host interactions may offer insights into mechanisms of pathogenesis in idiopathic rheumatic diseases.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter continues to discuss the association of judgment and sovereignty using Franz Kafka’s story Das Urteil (The Judgment). It does so in order to then introduce the public nature of spectating and how this has been played out in the thinking of Jurgen Habermas concerning speech situations, and in Hannah Arendt’s writings on the polis. Rather than pitch the public in contrast to the private, the chapter suggests spectating plays on the binary in ways that enrich both. This coming together of the private and public is then woven into the understanding of strategic inquiry as an organizational forming of self-presentation.

Holt, Robin. Judgment and Strategy. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199671458.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Judgment and Strategy makes a passionate plea for an imaginative, open, and altogether more humble understanding of strategic activity. Prompted by a reading of skeptical philosophy, the book defines strategy as the on-going presentation of an organization form to itself and others, and embeds this definition in a discussion of the wider modern project of ‘knowing and declaring oneself’. Three related and often interwoven kinds of strategic self presentation are identified: the use of representational knowledge, the creation of vision, and the assertion of will. All three assume the job of strategy is to work on and improve everyday life. This book flips such a concern, and asks whether strategic inquiry might benefit from being worked over by everyday life. Judgment is introduced as the poetic capacity by which this opening up can happen. Taking forays into the work of Georges Perec, Virginia Woolf, Immanuel Kant, Adam Smith, William Hazlitt, Rainer Marie Rilke, Judith Butler, William Shakespeare, John Ruskin, and Hannah Arendt, amongst others, the book argues for a form of judgment likened to ‘unhomely spectating’.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
The lack of interest in love and God in Heidegger’s Being and Time is curiously suspended in a footnote that quotes Augustine and Pascal on love and the knowledge of the divine in the course of the presentation of the important concept of “affection.” Heidegger confines interest in God to the care of a positive historical theology, and so marginalizes both faith and God at the edge of existence, which is philosophy’s proper concern. But this strategy ignores the way in which anticipatory understanding of being can converge with interest in God in human existence. Love of divine things can be interpreted in terms of Heidegger’s “care,” while his “affection” can accommodate self-discovery not only in-theworld but before-God.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides the topos-theoretic background necessary for understanding the contents of the book; the presentation is self-contained and only assumes a basic familiarity with the language of category theory. The chapter begins by reviewing the basic theory of Grothendieck toposes, including the fundamental equivalence between geometric morphisms and flat functors. Then it presents the notion of first-order theory and the various deductive systems for fragments of first-order logic that will be considered in the course of the book, notably including that of geometric logic. Further, it discusses categorical semantics, i.e. the interpretation of first-order theories in categories possessing ‘enough’ structure. Lastly, the key concept of syntactic category of a first-order theory is reviewed; this notion will be used in Chapter 2 for constructing classifying toposes of geometric theories.

Full textAbstract:
Emergence delirium is a common and challenging post-anesthetic complication in children characterized by a brief period of inconsolability, disorientation, and combativeness. Emergence delirium threatens patient safety due to potential self-injurious behavior or by untimely removal of intravenous lines, urinary catheters, and surgical drains. The economic impact of emergence delirium is a consequence of delayed post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) discharge and the need for additional medication administration and increased PACU staffing. In addition, despite the short duration of emergence delirium, its dramatic and frightening presentation can diminish parental satisfaction. Although no consistently effective treatment for emergence delirium has been described, familiarity with this clinical entity and approaches to its management and prevention are important to those who provide pediatric anesthesia care. This chapter will focus on our present understanding of emergence delirium in children.

Healey, Richard. Overview: A New Kind of Science. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198714057.003.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This overview introduces the book’s aim of showing how quantum theory marks a radical break from previous scientific theorizing: We are warranted in accepting the fundamental status within contemporary physics of a theory that posits no new physical entities or magnitudes of its own. By contrast with existing interpretations that attempt to say how the world could possibly be the way quantum theory says it is, a pragmatist takes understanding quantum theory to be a matter of knowing how it is applied, and how the theory’s various elements function in these applications. So Part I of the book offers a simple, self-contained presentation of quantum theory, emphasizing applications; while Part II says why the quantum revolution matters for philosophy. Coming to terms with the quantum revolution involves adopting views of scientific theorizing, probability, causation, explanation, objectivity, meaning, and fundamentality that philosophers should have arrived at without its prompting.

Full textAbstract:
Tracts descending from motor control centers in the brainstem and cortex target motor interneurons and in select cases motoneurons. The mechanisms and constraints of postural control are elaborated and the effect of body mass on posture discussed. Feed-forward reflexes that maintain posture during standing and other conditions of self-motion are described. The role of descending tracts in postural control and the pathological posturing is described. Pyramidal (corticospinal and corticobulbar) and extrapyramidal control of body and face movements is contrasted. Special emphasis is placed on cortical regions and tracts involved in deliberate control of facial expression; these pathways are contrasted with mechanisms for generating emotional facial expressions. The signs associated with lesions of either motoneurons or motor control centers are clearly detailed. The mechanisms and presentation of cerebral palsy are described. Finally, understanding how pre-motor cortical regions generate actions is used to introduce apraxia, a disorder of action.

Maier, Harry O. The Self and Others. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190264390.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
The chapter contrasts ancient and modern views of the self through attention to physiological theories, lists of virtues and vices, and emphasis on social relations. It describes the medical theories of Hippocrates and Galen and their theories of the four humors to account for health and sickness. It treats ancient physiological theories of male and female gender, including their formation and their place in hierarchical models of the physical world and the self. It considers the emphasis on self-mastery and virtue in the creation of the self. It describes differing understandings of the self as found in Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, and Epicureanism. It discusses various Jewish models of the self as found in Philo, intertestamental literature, and Qumran, as well as the concept of evil inclination (yēșer) in intertestamental writings, the New Testament, and early Christian writings. It describes Paul’s unsystematic presentation of the self, its creation, and its preservation through ritual and daily practices.

Burris, Christopher T. Evil in Mind. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197637180.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Evil in Mind: The Psychology of Harming Others offers readers an accessible, social-scientific understanding of the concept of evil and its various incarnations. Rather than simply using “evil” as an undefined synonym for human nastiness, Part 1 of the book first establishes when and why people apply the “evil” label to perpetrators and their misdeeds. It also addresses why most people do not want to see themselves—or be seen by others—as evil: Being labeled “evil” is the ultimate signifier of social rejection. Indeed, although dogged pursuit of good feelings and the effortful avoidance of bad feelings often causes suffering for others, people make use of an astounding array of cognitive reframing and self-presentation strategies to dodge the “evil” label. Part 2 illustrates how these core principles can aid comprehension of phenomena such as hate, sadism, serial killers, and group-based evil such as genocide, corporate wrongdoing, and familial abuse. Throughout, Evil in Mind attempts to nudge the reader toward a mindset that is self-reflective rather than ghoulish or self-congratulatory: Whether one’s actions result in harm that is horrifically irreparable or comparatively minor, the motives driving such actions and the menu of goals and strategies for deflecting condemnation are not really all that different. Thus, Evil in Mind presents the reader with a systematic, research-based psychological analysis of the phenomenon of evil that is compact, digestible, and potentially transformative.

Chamberlen, Anastasia. Embodying Punishment. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198749240.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book offers a theoretical and empirical exploration of women’s lived experiences of imprisonment in England. It puts forward a feminist critique of the prison, and argues that prisoner bodies are central to our understanding of modern punishment, and particularly of women’s survival and resistance during and after prison. Drawing on a feminist phenomenological framework informed by a serious engagement with scholars such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Simone de Beauvoir, Erwin Goffman, Michel Foucault, Sandra Lee Bartky, and Tori Moi, Embodying Punishment revisits and expands the literature on the pains of imprisonment, and offers an interdisciplinary examination of the embodiment and identities of prisoners and former prisoners to press the need for a body-aware approach to criminology and penology. The book develops this argument through a qualitative study with prisoners and former prisoners by discussing themes such as: the perception of the prison through time, space, smells, and sounds; the change of prisoner bodies; the presentation of self in and after prison, including the centrality of appearance and prison dress in the management of prisoner and ex-prisoner identities; and a range of coping strategies adopted during and after imprisonment, including prison food, drug misuse, and a case study on women’s self-injuring practices. Embodying Punishment brings to the fore and critically analyses longstanding and urgent problems surrounding women’s multifaceted oppression through imprisonment, including matters of discriminatory and gendered treatment as well as issues around penal harm, and argues for an experientially grounded critique of punishment.

Full textAbstract:
This book provides a comprehensive summary of German constitutional law, in particular the case law of the German Federal Constitutional Court. It provides first-hand insight into the complex principles of the Basic Law, or Grundgesetz (GG), and an authoritative introduction to the history of the German constitution, the Basic Law, and the methodology of the Federal Constitutional Court. As well as an analysis of the general principles of German constitutional law, the book covers the salient articles of the German constitution and offers relevant extracts of the Court's most important decisions on the provisions of the Basic Law. It provides notes and discussions of landmark cases to illustrate their legal and historical context and give the reader a clear understanding of the principles governing German constitutional law. The book covers the fundamental rights catalogue of the Basic Law and offers a comprehensive account of its intellectual moorings. It includes landmark jurisprudence on the equal treatment of same-sex couples, life imprisonment, the legal structure of property, the right to assembly, and the right to informational self-presentation. The book also covers the provisions and respective case law governing the state structure of Germany, for instance the recent decisions on the prohibition of the far-right German nationalist party, and the Court's jurisprudence on European integration, including the most recent decisions on the OMT program of the European Central Bank.

Pregill, Michael E. The Golden Calf between Bible and Qur'an. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198852421.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book explores the story of the Israelites’ worship of the Golden Calf in its Jewish, Christian, and Muslim contexts, from ancient Israel to the emergence of Islam. It focuses in particular on the Qur’an’s presentation of the narrative and its background in Jewish and Christian retellings of the episode from Late Antiquity. Across the centuries, the interpretation of the Calf episode underwent major changes reflecting the varying cultural, religious, and ideological contexts in which various communities used the story to legitimate their own tradition, challenge the claims of others, and delineate the boundaries between self and other. The book contributes to the ongoing re-evaluation of the relationship between Bible and Qur’an, arguing for the necessity of understanding the Qur’an and Islamic interpretations of the history and narratives of ancient Israel as part of the broader biblical tradition. The Calf narrative in the Qur’an, central to the qur’anic conception of the legacy of Israel and the status of the Jews of its own time, reflects a profound engagement with the biblical account in Exodus, as well as being informed by exegetical and parascriptural traditions in circulation in the Qur’an’s milieu in Late Antiquity. The book also addresses the issue of Western approaches to the Qur’an, arguing that the historical reliance of scholars and translators on classical Muslim exegesis of scripture has led to misleading conclusions about the meaning of qur’anic episodes.

Full textAbstract:
Determining the nature of matter’s smallest constituents, and the interactions among them, is the subject of a branch of fundamental physics called “The Physics of Elementary Particles” – the subject of this book. During the last decades this field has gone through a phase transition. It culminated in the formulation of a new theoretical scheme, known as “The Standard Model”, which brought profound changes in our ways of thinking and understanding nature’s fundamental forces. Its agreement with experiment is impressive, to the extent that we should no longer talk about “The Standard Model” but instead “The Standard Theory”. This new vision is based on geometry; the interactions are required to satisfy a certain geometrical principle. In the physicists’ jargon this principle is called “gauge invariance”; in mathematics it is a concept of differential geometry. It is the purpose of this book to present and explain this modern viewpoint to a readership of well motivated undergraduate students. We propose to guide the reader to the more advanced concepts of gauge symmetry, quantum field theory and the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking through concrete physical examples. The presentation of the techniques required for particle physics is self-contained, and the mathematics is kept at the absolutely necessary level. The reader is invited to join the glorious parade of the theoretical advances and experimental discoveries of the last decades which established our current view. Our ambition is to make this fascinating subject accessible to undergraduate students and, hopefully, to motivate them to study it further.

Kurt T, Lash. The Lost History of the Ninth Amendment. Oxford University Press, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195372618.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The Ninth Amendment has had a remarkably robust history, playing a role in almost every significant constitutional debate in American history, including the controversy over the Alien and Sedition Acts, the struggle over slavery, and the constitutionality of the New Deal. Until very recently, however, this history has been almost completely lost due to a combination of historical accident, mistaken assumptions, and misplaced historical documents. Drawing upon a wide range of primary sources, most never before included in any book on the Ninth Amendment or the Bill of Rights, this book recovers the lost history of the Ninth Amendment and explores how its original understanding can be applied to protect the people's retained rights today. The most important aspect of this book is its presentation of newly uncovered historical evidence which calls into question the currently presumed meaning and application of the Ninth Amendment. The evidence not only challenges the traditional view regarding the original meaning of the Ninth Amendment, it also falsifies the common assumption that the Amendment lay dormant prior to the Supreme Court's “discovery” of the clause in Griswold v. Connecticut . As a history of the Ninth Amendment, the book recapitulates the history of federalism in America and the idea that local self-government is a right retained by the people. This issue has particular contemporary salience as the Supreme Court considers whether states have the right to authorize medicinal use of marijuana, refuse to assist the enforcement of national laws like the Patriot Act, or regulate physician-assisted suicide. The meaning of the Ninth Amendment has played a key role in past Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court justices and the current divide on the Court regarding the meaning of the Ninth Amendment makes it likely the subject will come up again during the next set of hearings.

Volpicelli, Robert. Transatlantic Modernism and the US Lecture Tour. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192893383.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Transatlantic Modernism and the US Lecture Tour examines how the US lecture tour served as a vital infrastructure for bringing regional audiences from all across America into direct contact with international modernists. In doing so, the book reroutes scholarly understandings of modernism away from the magazines and other mass media that have so far characterized its circulation and toward the unique form of cultural distribution that coalesced around public lecturing. More specifically, it highlights the role the lecture circuit played in the formation of transatlantic modernism by following a diverse group of international authors—Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, Rabindranath Tagore, Gertrude Stein, and W. H. Auden—on their wide-ranging tours through the American landscape. By analyzing these tours, this study illuminates how this extremely physical form of literary circulation transformed authors into commodities to be sold in a variety of performance venues. Moreover, it shows how these writers responded to such broad distribution by stretching their own ideas about modernist authorship. In this way, Transatlantic Modernism and the US Lecture Tour adds to a critical tradition of revealing the popular dimensions of modernism by demonstrating how the tour’s social diversity forced modernists to take on new, more flexible forms of self-presentation that would allow them to appeal to many different types of audiences.
