Bonneh, Yoram. Motion-Induced Blindness. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199794607.003.0103.
Full textAbstract:
Motion-induced blindness (MIB) is a phenomenon characterized by “visual disappearance” in which relatively small but salient visual objects may disappear from one’s awareness intermittently for several seconds when embedded within a moving pattern. It is a compelling example of multistable perception in which physically invariant stimulation leads to fluctuations in perception. The interest in MIB stems from its potential use in studying visual processing outside the locus of awareness and the neural correlates of consciousness. Current studies of MIB provide evidence against low-level suppression of the visual signal and demonstrate residual processing of the invisible. This chapter explores these and related concepts.

Kobylińska, Anna, and Maciej Falski, eds. Architects and their Societies. Cultural Study on the Habsburg-Slavic Area (1861-1938). University of Warsaw Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31338/uw.9788323549918.
Full textAbstract:
The idea of looking at the architects operating within the cultural framework of the Habsburg Empire, embedded in this book, stems from our previous research. It has its roots in the research on Slavic peripheral narratives, conducted by the Research Group on the Slavic Cultures in the Habsburg Monarchy (http://uwhabsburgstudies.uw.edu.pl/), which has operated since 2011 at the Institute of Western and Southern Slavic Studies of the University of Warsaw. We studied the issue of peripheral attitudes towards both national narratives, created after 1861 by the Slovak, Czech and Croatian elites, and the imperial project imposed by Vienna and Budapest. Faithful to the microlevel approach, we looked at figures, spaces and social phenomena that do not fit into the stereotypical view of national historiography.

Reiff, Mark R. Punishment in the executive suite: Moral responsibility, causal responsibility, and financial crime. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198755661.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
Despite the enormity of the financial losses flowing from the 2008 financial crisis and the outrageousness of the conduct that led up to it, almost no individual involved has been prosecuted for criminal conduct, much less actually gone to prison. This chapter argues that the failure to punish those in management for their role in this misconduct stems from a misunderstanding of the need to prove that they personally knew of this wrongdoing and harbored an intent to defraud. Not only would negligence be a sufficient legal and moral basis for imposing terms of imprisonment in these cases, mere causal responsibility would also be enough, for causal responsibility has embedded in it all we need to find those causally responsible morally responsible too, and once some basis for moral responsibility is established, the imposition of terms of imprisonment is both legally possible and morally just.

Plotnik, Adam N., and Stephen Kee. Removing the Angled Inferior Vena Cava Filter with an Embedded Hook: The “Hangman” Technique. Edited by S. Lowell Kahn, Bulent Arslan, and Abdulrahman Masrani. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199986071.003.0054.
Full textAbstract:
Multiple advanced techniques for the retrieval of difficult inferior vena cava (IVC) filters have been published in the literature, most of which describe mechanical methods to disrupt the fibrous capsule in cases in which the filter hook or struts have become embedded in the IVC wall. Despite reported high success rates, these techniques often require multiple venous access sites or the use of special equipment. The “hangman” technique is a modified “loop snare” technique that requires only a single venous access and uses standard interventional equipment. It modifies the loop snare technique by passing the wire loop between the filter neck and IVC wall, as opposed to the filter. This chapter elaborates on the hangman technique and its applications and steps.

Full textAbstract:
Migrations abroad for a better life take place within the context of complex lifelong trajectories. While Ghanaians coming to the United States are usually motivated by specific aspirations, frequently having to do with education or professional opportunities, their aspirations often change over time and in response to opportunities and setbacks. They are constantly revising their aspirations while also negotiating their identities along dimensions of race, ethnicity, and nationality. Furthermore, this process is deeply embedded in the relationships they hold on to from home and the new ones they form abroad. In that sense, revisions of aspirations and negotiations of identity are embedded in social networks. This chapter steps slightly away from the topic of religion to the more general issues of aspiration and identity, in order to support the ultimate argument that religious-based relationships of personal trust influence such revisions and negotiations.

Arabi, Mohammad. Laser Sheath Assisted Filter Removal. Edited by S. Lowell Kahn, Bulent Arslan, and Abdulrahman Masrani. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199986071.003.0057.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents a step-by-step guide to the use of laser sheath assisted filter removal. It describes the clinical applications of laser-tipped sheath in removing chronically embedded filters using controlled photothermal ablation of the endothelium surrounding the filter struts. This technique has been long used for extraction of pacemaker leads and has recently been extrapolated to filter removal because it minimizes the forces applied during difficult retrieval procedures and allows for removal of permanent filter devices. In addition to requiring less force for filter retrieval, laser sheath assisted removal helps reduce the total fluoroscopic time needed to complete the procedure. This chapter details the technical steps, potential pitfalls, and possible complications of this technique.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines word order variation and change in the high CP-domain of Hungarian embedded clauses containing the finite subordinating C head hogy ‘that’. It is argued that the complementizer hogy developed from an operator of the same morphophonological form, meaning ‘how’, and that its grammaticalization path develops in two steps. In addition to the change from an operator, located in a specifier, into a C head (specifier-to-head reanalysis), the fully grammaticalized complementizer hogy also changed its relative position on the CP-periphery, ultimately occupying the higher of two C head positions (upward reanalysis). Other complementizers that could co-occur with hogy in Old Hungarian eventually underwent similar reanalysis processes. Hence the possibility of accommodating two separate C heads in the left periphery was lost and variation in the relative position of complementizers was replaced by a fixed order.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter argues that another kind of teleology at play in human emotional experience is the desire for recognition. I long for the Other to appreciate me as I am rather than how I should be. Recognition entails five basic steps. First, I must acknowledge that the life-world of the other person is not like my own. Second, I need to grant the meaningfulness of the other person’s actions as embedded in the other person’s life-world. Third, I must learn to neutralize my natural attitude that would make me evaluate the other’s experience as if it took place in a world like my own. Fourth, I must try to reconstruct the existential structures of the world the other lives in. Fifth, I can finally attempt to understand the other’s experience as meaningfully situated in a world that is indelibly marked by the other person’s particular existence.

Full textAbstract:
Both rich fundamental physics of microcavities and their intriguing potential applications are addressed in this book, oriented to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as to physicists and engineers. We describe the essential steps of development of the physics of microcavities in their chronological order. We show how different types of structures combining optical and electronic confinement have come into play and were used to realize first weak and later strong light–matter coupling regimes. We discuss photonic crystals, microspheres, pillars and other types of artificial optical cavities with embedded semiconductor quantum wells, wires and dots. We present the most striking experimental findings of the recent two decades in the optics of semiconductor quantum structures. We address the fundamental physics and applications of superposition light-matter quasiparticles: exciton-polaritons and describe the most essential phenomena of modern Polaritonics: Physics of the Liquid Light. The book is intended as a working manual for advanced or graduate students and new researchers in the field.

Full textAbstract:
The responsibility to protect (R2P) and the question of UN Security Council veto constraint are intimately linked, but whilst the R2P has become increasingly embedded in diplomatic discourse and practice, the idea that in relation to it the Council’s five permanent members should recognize a ‘responsibility not to veto’ (RN2V) has fared less well. This chapter examines why this should be so. In its assessment of the prospects for, and pros and cons of, veto-restriction, the chapter argues that opposition amongst the P5 to the idea of a RN2V is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future, and it charges advocates of the idea with a failure to recognize that it is ill-conceived to believe that R2P can transcend great power cleavages in international society, whether these stem from principles of prudence, conflicting value systems, or the play of self-interest and great power jockeying for position.

Proudman, Charlotte. Female Genital Mutilation. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198864608.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Female genital mutilation (FGM) has garnered significant media, political, and legal attention in the UK. Despite criminalising the practice in 1985, FGM continues undetected and often underground. This book provides a unique insight into survivors’ attitudes towards FGM as well as the criminalisation of a culturally embedded practice. Some of the narratives might be deeply uncomfortable, as women sympathise and even uphold the practice, whilst others viscerally describe the trauma and pain that they endured. Digging deeper into efforts to eliminate FGM, professionals at the coalface of the end FGM movement provide their views on whether the practice can ever be eradicated. This book explores the key themes that emerged from the well-publicised criminal trials in the UK and the barriers that prevent the law from working effectively. One of the obstacles that is examined further is the legal double standard in criminalising FGM whilst permitting female genital cosmetic surgery, which incites hostility and anger amongst FGM-performing communities. Whilst ending FGM is imperative, this book reflects on the unintended consequences that stem from punitive efforts to criminalise a practice performed by often Black, migrant communities. Women describe their experiences of racism and Islamophobia in a context of police surveillance and hyperbolic media narratives. To encourage the abandonment of FGM, this book shows that the law needs to be accompanied by education initiatives at a grassroot level.

Krishnan, Hari, Miriam R. Fine-Goulden, Sainath Raman, and Akash Deep, eds. Challenging Concepts in Paediatric Critical Care. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198794592.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This textbook, ‘Challenging concepts in paediatric critical care’, has been designed to cater to the needs of paediatric intensivists, current trainees and those intending to train in the future. Similar to its predecessors in this ‘Challenging concepts’ series, this book aims to educate clinicians by describing clinical situations that are both common, such as bronchiolitis, sepsis etc., and complex, such as mechanical circulatory support, stem cell transplant etc., in paediatric intensive care medicine. The textbook contains 18 chapters based on challenging scenarios involving variety of diseases and organ dysfunctions. Each chapter contains several “Learning Points”, “Clinical Tips” and “Evidence Base” boxes embedded in the text with the aim to promote memory and stimulate learning. These run alongside an “Expert Commentary” written by an international group of experts in the field, to give practical advice of how they approach these difficult situations. Many chapters include results and imaging to enhance the fidelity and narrative style of text, that encourage the reader to understand the patient journey and feel part of the decision making process. The clinical topics in this book are aligned to match the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health’s paediatric intensive care medicine curriculum in the UK, as well as the curriculum of Paediatric Basic assessment and support in intensive care (BASIC) course and the various domains of Paediatric/neonatal European Diploma in Intensive Care (PEDIC) curriculum.

Full textAbstract:
In the Evangelical Church multi- and inter-professional forms of work are becoming more and more important. Multi-professional co-working is being progressively embedded into the structures of the member churches of the Evangelical Church in Germany. The spectrum of this concept ranges from optional pilot projects to the establishment of an inter-professional culture or to the extensive and obligatory implementation of interdisciplinary work groups that share pastoral management tasks. The articles in this volume, which stem from a symposium hosted by the VRK Academy in March 2021 (initiated by the publishers), discuss the relevance of multi- and inter-professional co-working in the context of the current transformation processes in central European churches. With contributions by Gero Albert, Dr. Joerg Augenstein, Prof. Dr. Frank Austermann, Nicholas Baines, Cindy Brandes, Dorrit Brandstetter, Roland Braune, Cornelia Ewald, Prof. Dr. Lutz Friedrichs, Prof. Dr. Christian Grethlein, Gabriele Groß, Angela Heidler, Beate Hofmann, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Ilg, Prof. Dr. Claudia Janssen, Ute Kaisinger-Carli, Astrid Kampmeier, Heiko Kampmeier, Heinz Karrer, Dr. Hanna Kasparick, Prof. Dr. Heidrun Keßler, Tilman Kingreen, Birgit Krome-Mühlenmeier, Prof. Dr. Georg Lämmlin, Monika Lehmann-Etzelmueller, Wolfgang Loest, Christiane Luckhardt, Jens-Martin Ludwig, Heinrich Mühlenmeier, Prof. Dr. Uta Pohl-Paterlong, Guntram Rixecker, Eckehard Rossberg, Matthias Rumm, Dr. Susanne Schatz, Thomas Schaufelberger, Dr. Gunther Schendel, Conny Schneider, Prof. Dr. Thomas Schlag, Steffen Schramm, Dr. Birgit Sendler-Koschel, Prof. Dr. Regina Sommer, Annemarie Steinebrunner, Werner Volkert, Sylvia Wagenaar, Prof. Dr. Ursula Walkenhorst, Christiane Wolf, Veronika Zieske and Andreas Zuch.
