Abstract:
Dos motivos impulsaron este libro: 1. los maestros dedican poco tiempo a reflexionar y organizar sistemáticamente su misma experiencia pedagógica, a leer a otros colegas, a escribir, lo cual hace que pierdan posibilidades valiosas para crear nuevas formas de enseñanza y aprendizaje. 2. La necesidad de aportar dentro y fuera de la universidad un material que pueda ser referente en el trabajo pedagógico de las carreras de pregrado relacionadas con la educación, que favorezca ese diálogo de saberes entre maestros y maestros-estudiantes, y que brinde la posibilidad de leer-se-nos. En suma, esta publicación abre otro camino a la comprensión, a la reflexión y a la acción sobre la práctica y la experiencia pedagógicas como claves del saber pedagógico.

Abstract:
Dentistry involves the study, diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity, including the teeth, gums, and tissues. Dentistry is thought to be one of the first areas of specialization to emerge from medicine, with evidence of drilled teeth dating back 9,000 years. The most common conditions treated within dentistry involve tooth decay (dental caries) and gum disease (periodontal disease), with common dental procedures including x-rays, restorative treatments (such as fillings, crowns, and bridges), prosthetics (dentures), orthodontics (such as teeth braces), tooth extraction and endodontic (root canal) therapy. Dentistry also involves public health work such as the encouragement of oral disease prevention through dental hygiene and check-ups....

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explores how the collective ethos represented by groups such as the Players Association was threatened by another American ethos, one that had more deeply entrenched roots dating back to the nineteenth century, that itself felt threatened by the collective movement. This ethos—the individualistic, “positive thinking” movement—rejected the critical, often grim portrait of America drawn by the collectivists, and chose instead to embrace an optimistic worldview that depended upon the willful ignorance of the types of inconvenient facts often highlighted by the collectivists in their quest to bring about social change. The clash of these competing visions of American life would result in the culture wars that led a majority of Americans to turn against the civil rights and Players Association movements, and into the sunnier outlook of the positive thinkers.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how copious excretion and vomit feature in popular animator Miyazaki Hayao's Academy-award winning feature Spirited Away (2001), arguing that these bodily eruptions are critiques of rampant consumer capitalism in contemporary Japan. Set in a carnivalesque world revolving around a luxurious bathhouse for gods of all shapes and sizes, the film repeatedly portrays scenes of food excess, denial, and expulsion, which can be interpreted as anorexia and bulimia. The chapter sees the eating frenzies depicted as Miyazaki's metaphor for materialistic overconsumption, and perceives the strong work ethic and self-denial that bring about the protagonist Sen's salvation as Miyazaki's call for a return to traditional values.

Full text
Abstract:
A sound understanding of clinical oral pathology is essential if a dental clinician is to navigate successfully through clinical guidelines, make timely referrals to specialists, and provide good care for patients. This new edition of Soames' & Southam's Oral Pathology provides a clear and friendly guide for students, practitioners, and the whole dental team. Thoroughly updated for today's clinical practice, this textbook covers 'must-know' oral pathology and integrates key aspects of oral medicine. It begins by explaining the principles of clinical assessment, the synthesis of a differential diagnosis, and the selection of further investigations including laboratory tests. Ten chapters bring this theory to life by looking at the clinical and pathological features of a wide range of common oral diseases including oral cancer, salivary gland disorders, and diseases of the jaws. Two new chapters address skin diseases affecting the oro-facial region and neck lumps. A final chapter highlights the importance of clinical oral pathology in the context of systemic human disease. New radiology content includes examples of cross-sectional imaging. Photomicrographs have been replaced with carefully selected images to illustrate key pathological features. Each chapter includes key points boxes and tables to aid learning. Written by experts in both oral pathology and oral medicine, this new edition is a must-have for dentistry students, and those working in the field, providing current and trustworthy information.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter describes the extraordinary efforts made by Kapil Sibal to reform almost every aspect of education, and his refreshing courage in advocating polices shunned by the political class such as promotion of private participation, and encouraging reputed foreign institutions to establish campuses in India. It describes the successes he achieved like enactment of the RTE Act, and the heroic failure to enact as many as six acts which would have totally restructured the policy and regulatory framework of higher education. By focusing on the process and politics of policymaking it brings out that the failure was mainly due to strategic and tactical mistakes, and adopting a no-holds barred adversarial approach that is eminently appropriate in a courtroom is utterly inappropriate in policymaking. All in all, Sibal’s achievements and failure offer valuable lessons for policy entrepreneurship. It also describes the failed efforts of the Health Ministry to establish the National Commission for Human Resources for Health as a super-regulator in Medical Education in place of multiple regulatory authorities like the Medical Council, Dental Council and so on.

De Bel-Air, Françoise. An Emerging Trend in Arab Migration. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190608873.003.0008.

Full text
Abstract:
The growing share of skilled and highly-skilled, often unmarried, young Arab women immigrating to the GCC is generally un-documented. Shedding some light on this population, therefore, will not only emphasize a new phenomenon, but it also, first, points at a new structural trend within Arab populations: the emergence of educated female professionals in Arab societies characterized by low female activity rates. Second, it challenges the dominant assumption that Arab migration to Gulf countries is a “male-only” phenomenon in which women are married dependents. This contribution aims at laying some ground to bridge the knowledge gap regarding Arab female highly-skilled workers in the Gulf. The study explores the proximate determinants—rise in age at marriage, development of female celibacy in the Arab world, expansion of female education levels—and structural conditions compelling an increasing number of Arab citizens, male and female, to seek better futures abroad. Findings, such as the widespread denial that patriarchal pressures are important factors in determining Arab female migration, question the categories used, including Arab, female, and Gulf migration patterns. The study also concludes that such partial results beg to be completed by a wider-scale survey involving highly-skilled female migrants from several Arab countries and systematically comparing their migratory patterns and experience.

Abstract:
This book was designed concerning the struggle of students on finding an updated bibliographic source with scientific terms and clearly focused on the study of biomaterials in dentistry and engineering. The present work is a state of art of fundamentals and scientific data reported in literature regarding the study and application of dental biomaterials and techniques used in experimental in vitro research. The book brings critical questions on the subject and research protocols for study of materials taking into consideration education, research, and clinical applications. The present book involves the following issues divided into chapters: i) properties of materiais; ii) thermal analysis methods for the characterization and processing of materials; iii) mechanical assays; iv) chemical analysis; v) surface analysis; vi) analysis by microscopy; vii) biocompatibility of materials. The participation of professors of dentistry, physics, biology, materials engineering, and biomedical engineering in this work promotes the desired interface between the fields of medicine and engineering. Students, professionals, and professors in Brazil, Portugal and Africa (Portuguese-speaking countries) can gather benefits from this book after the stablishment of the orthographic agreement and the matching of scientific terms.

Came, Daniel, ed. Nietzsche on Morality and the Affirmation of Life. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198728894.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
At the core of Nietzsche’s famous critique of ‘morality’ lies the sweeping claim that morality is the primary source of a stance of ‘life-denial’, and hence an obstacle to the possibility of an affirmative stance towards life. Moral values, Nietzsche argues, are inimical to the affirmation of life, since they typically denigrate certain ineliminable features of the world and human existence (suffering, loss, impermanence, the body, instinctual desire). Other values, allegedly, are life-affirming because they cultivate or augment a life-affirming tendency. Nietzsche’s pervasive concern with undermining morality and fostering an affirmative attitude towards life are thus closely intertwined: he attacks morality because it underwrites a condemnation of life and seeks to supplant morality with an alternative, life-enhancing ethics of affirmation. This volume brings together a number of new essays by leading Nietzsche scholars to examine these centrally important and overlapping themes in Nietzsche’s philosophical enterprise.

Abstract:
This volume engages openly and constructively with the question of what limits of human rights are, and what these limits mean. The contributions focus on conceptual questions of human rights, together providing an exceptionally rich spectrum of viewpoints and arguments across disciplines. The volume brings together a group of distinguished scholars from different disciplines who discuss diverse aspects of limits of human rights from various perspectives and in different topical settings, without engaging in a deconstruction or denial of human rights. Each contribution is supplemented by an engaging comment. The combination of perspectives makes this volume a distinct and unique contribution to the contemporary discussion on human rights. It provides fresh insight and much food for further thought for scholars, practitioners, students, and a wider public interested in law, politics, legal and political theory, philosophy, history, sociology, and anthropology, as they relate to human rights.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter describes linking spirituality and Advanced Care Planning (ACP); fear and ACP; how thinking about death changes people; religious views of ACP; denial and ACP; personal control and ACP; ethical principles and ACP; the spiritual work of ACP, including objective asessment; adaptation and ACP; and ritual, sacrament, and ACP. The discussion holds that dying is not primarily a medical event. The process of thinking about end-of-life issues can significantly impact on an individual’s attitudes, values, and belief systems. Dying patients can challenge the cultural illusion that life is going to last forever. This can be hard for families and professionals to accept and challenges their own fears around mortality. The importance and wisdom of religious rituals and religious symbolism cannot be ignored even in the most secular of contexts as they bring comfort to many. ACP is about life before death and can foster resilience and hope.

Full text
Abstract:
The exclusivist strand of Pure Land Buddhism that developed in China and took strong root in Japan stresses the inability of human beings to bring about their own liberation from the effects of karma through their own ethical practice, and instead views reliance on the working of Amitābha as the only possible path to liberation. Because of its denial of the efficacy of ethical action as a cause of Buddhahood throughout its history, this tradition has addressed a variety of delicate problems dealing with the relationship between ethical action and Buddhist attainment. This chapter explores how that tension played out in various recensions of the central sutra of the tradition, and the thought of two representative thinkers: Shandao (613–681) and Shinran (1173–1262). These considerations show that the Pure Land tradition offers many insights that might help advance discussions in the discipline of Buddhist ethics in the future.

Full text
Abstract:
In the decades since it was identified in 1981, HIV/AIDS has devastated African American communities. Members of those communities mobilized to fight the epidemic and its consequences from the beginning of the AIDS activist movement. They struggled not only to overcome the stigma and denial surrounding a “white gay disease” in Black America, but also to bring resources to struggling communities that were often dismissed as too “hard to reach.” To Make the Wounded Whole offers the first history of African American AIDS activism in all of its depth and breadth. Dan Royles introduces a diverse constellation of activists, including medical professionals, Black gay intellectuals, church pastors, Nation of Islam leaders, recovering drug users, and Black feminists who pursued a wide array of grassroots approaches to slow the epidemic's spread and address its impacts. Through interlinked stories from Philadelphia and Atlanta to South Africa and back again, Royles documents the diverse, creative, and global work of African American activists in the decades-long battle against HIV/AIDS.

Full text
Abstract:
Trigeminal neuralgia and other cranial neuralgias comprise a group of facial pain conditions, characterized by disabling pain attacks that selectively respond to specific treatments. Although not as common as migraine they affect over 1% of the population. The spectrum of cranial neuralgias is wide and as a consequence, the conditions are managed by a range of different specialists. Studies show that delayed diagnoses and mismanagement are common and can lead to depression and suicide. This book aims to change that. It brings together the expertise of over 30 internationally recognized authors to guide the reader through the maze of pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis-making, and condition-specific treatments. The approach is practical and evidence based and ready for real-world applications. The value of phenotyping, targeted investigations, and treatment algorithms is emphasized. There needs to be a holistic approach with multidisciplinary teams working together and with patients being at the centre of this process and sharing the decision-making process. There remain considerable challenges but the field is rapidly evolving and there are increasing numbers of opportunities opening up to improve our understanding of these conditions and hence their management. The reader is introduced to patient scenarios, algorithms, self-administered tools for training in diagnosis and management, clinical tips, and carefully chosen references. Each chapter includes key points and a lay summary and each can be read as a stand-alone unit. The intended audience includes medical and dental postgraduates, a wide range of specialities, including primary care teams, allied healthcare professionals and expert patients.

It is also the first to engage Arabic literature with the ‘animal turn’ in the Humanities and Social Sciences, reading Libyan fiction through the lens of the ‘creaturely’, understood both through Eric Santner’s interpretation of it as an expression of a particularly human experience of subjection to sovereign power (On Creaturely Life, 2008), and Anat Pick’s reading of it as an engagement with the boundary between human and animal, binding environmental and political injustice (Creaturely Poetics, 2011). Through both readings, the monograph brings new comparative perspectives to modern Arabic literature, as well as highlighting central themes and aesthetics of the Libyan novel. While understanding animals as an allegory for human suffering, the monograph explores how they prompt reflection on the universal vulnerability of all creatures, human and nonhuman, within an uncertain world. With their ‘silence’ expressive of the nation’s international marginality and the denial of fundamental freedoms within it, and their imprisonment and mortality a commentary on the loss of traditional nomadism, as Libya transforms into a dictatorial, rentier state, animals represent multi-layered allegories, all underpinned by an expression of shared vulnerability.

Abstract:
What should be the role of our institutions of higher education? To promote good moral character? To bring an end to racism, sexism, economic oppression, and other social ills? To foster diversity and democracy and produce responsible citizens? In Save the World On Your Own Time, Stanley Fish argues that, however laudable these goals might be, there is but one proper role for the academe in society: to advance bodies of knowledge and to equip students for doing the same. When teachers offer themselves as moralists, political activists, or agents of social change rather than as credentialed experts in a particular subject and the methods used to analyze it, they abdicate their true purpose. And yet professors now routinely bring their political views into the classroom and seek to influence the political views of their students. Those who do this will often invoke academic freedom, but Fish suggests that academic freedom, correctly understood, is the freedom to do the academic job, not the freedom to do any job that the professor so chooses. Fish insists that a professor's only obligation is "to present the material in the syllabus and introduce students to state-of-the-art methods of analysis. Not to practice politics, but to study it; not to proselytize for or against religious doctrines, but to describe them; not to affirm or condemn Intelligent Design, but to explain what it is and analyze its appeal." Given that hot-button issues such as Holocaust denial, free speech, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are regularly debated in classrooms across the nation, Save the World On Your Own Time is certain to spark fresh debate--and to incense both liberals and conservatives alike--about the true purpose of higher education in America.

Abstract:
Nurturing Our Humanity sheds new light on our personal and social options in today’s world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings—largely overlooked—from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hardwired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. Moving past right versus left, religious versus secular, Eastern versus Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relations, it looks at where societies fall on the partnership-domination scale. On one end is the domination system that ranks man over man, man over woman, race over race, and humans over nature. On the other end is the more peaceful, egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable partnership system. Nurturing Our Humanity explores how behaviors, values, and socioeconomic institutions develop differently in these two environments, documents how this affects nothing less than how our brains develop, examines cultures from this new perspective (including societies that for millennia oriented toward partnership), and proposes actions supporting the contemporary movement in this more life-sustaining and enhancing direction. It shows how through today’s ever more fearful, frenzied, and greed-driven technologies of destruction and exploitation, the domination system may lead us to an evolutionary dead end. However, a more equitable and sustainable way of life is biologically possible and culturally attainable: we can change our course.

Abstract:
This volume deepens and broadens considerations of genocide’s aftermath. It conceives postgenocide as an approach to study genocide effects after mass killing has ended. In line with an interconnected understanding of past and future, the ‘post’ in postgenocide signifies the entire period following the inception of genocide. Postgenocide implies that the era following genocidal killing is shaped by genocide; hence the necessity of understanding and explaining effects of genocide in moulding realities of societies subjected to cruelty of this heinous crime. Effects given attention in the contributions in this volume vary from various permutations of genocide harms, and legal recourse, after the fact; to scrutiny of the efficacy of the genocide law and prospects of its enforcement; to socio-political responses to genocide—including efforts to recovery and reconciliation; to genocide’s impacts on the victims’ communities and their efforts for recognition and redress; to genocide’s effect on the communities of perpetrators and their attempts to denial and revisionism; to the (re)construction of genocide narratives via the display of victims’ objects in museums, galleries, and archives; to impact of intersections of geopolitical order, climate change, warlordism, and resource exploitation on the re/occurrence of genocide. In doing so, some formerly opaque and overlooked themes and cases are analysed from the standing of several disciplines—such as law, political science, sociology, and ethnography—in the process exploring what these disciplines bring to bear on genocide scholarship and the rethinking of the existing assumptions in the field.

Abstract:
El Semillero Ethos pertenece al grupo de investigación Cibercultura y Territorio de la Escuela de Ciencias Sociales Artes y Humanidades (ECSAH) de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia. Este semillero tiene como bandera incentivar la reflexión filosófica para la construcción de un pensamiento crítico que conduzca a conocimientos epistémicos en torno a la realidad, la actualidad, la política y la ética. Bajo este derrotero, el trabajo que aquí se presenta es producto de lecturas, disertaciones, discusiones y socialización de textos que cada uno de los integrantes realizó, teniendo en cuenta que la escritura es un ejercicio fundamental para el desarrollo intelectual de la persona que se ejercita mediante la comprensión, interpretación, reflexión y proposición, que le permite al individuo consolidar conocimientos epistémicos. De esta forma, se discuten temas como la estética y su configuración local para una experiencia sublime dentro de la filosofía del arte; el tratamiento de la verdad en la posverdad, la cual no solo debe verse desde su construcción como término, sino directamente desde la experiencia, como sucede con las víctimas del conflicto armado colombiano; la voluntad, el vitalismo y la negación del cuerpo como entidad enajenada del bien, visto desde la perspectiva de Nietzsche; la necesidad en tanto a género humano de consolidar el humanismo para su construcción ontológica, axiológica y epistémica. Lo anterior, en el marco de su evolución histórica que se consolida en la actualidad, pero que no conforme con ello, debe verse desde la dimensión local, puesto que es imperativo que se observe desde las subjetividades que nacen en cada territorio, desde el individuo mismo, de forma que pueda ampliarse la comprensión que brinde los elementos de un trabajo propositivo.
