Abstract. To avoid uncertainty, people may take a shortcut to knowledge. They recognize something as unknowable, but claim to know it nonetheless (e.g., whether I will find true love is unknowable, but I know I will). In Study-set 1, such paradoxical knowledge was common and spanned across valence and content. Study-set 2 revealed an antecedent of paradoxical knowing. High (vs. low) goal-incentives incited paradoxical knowledge – participants felt certain about attaining important future life goals despite acknowledging such goal attainment as unknowable. As a shortcut to knowledge, however, paradoxical knowing may have its costs. In Study-set 3, paradoxical knowing related to aggression (fight), determined ignorance (flight), and a willingness to join and adhere to extreme groups (befriend).

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on social and economic life, especially in Indonesia. In the city of Bandung itself, this impact is felt for workers in the tourism sector such as travel business owners, tour leaders, tour guides and tourism bus drivers. The writing of this research was carried out with the aim of knowing the negative impacts felt by tourism sector workers in the city of Bandung during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this study, the authors used a direct interview method using a semi-structured interview guide instrument, with the direction of the interview aimed at: 1) Knowing the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic felt by tourism workers. 2) Knowing the survival strategies carried out by tourism workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic. From the two subtitles, it can be seen that the direct impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourism business actors in the city of Bandung is seen from the income aspect. Most tourism workers in Bandung City have lost their livelihoods during the Covid-19 pandemic. So that requires tourism business actors to change professions in order to survive, such as: a) Selling used cars. b) Selling designs online. c) Selling catering. d) Changing the vehicle business unit from tourism buses to inter-island buses. e) Become a private driver or online. f) Selling used clothes online. g) Selling juice and hydroponic vegetable cultivation. h) Opening employment opportunities for other affected tourism business actors in the form of local courier applications in the city of Bandung. i) Selling frozen food.

Abstract This essay explores feelings conjured through the poetic works of June Jordan, Sonia Sanchez, Carolyn M. Rodgers, and Audre Lorde performed through dance. In an effort to stray away from dance as representation, movement in the form of dance manifests the inner feelings and memories that poetry prompts. I argue for vulnerability and the intentional giving of the self that makes this process possible and felt by the viewer. The process entails an embodied knowledge that centers the knowing of Black women, girls, and femmes: a knowing that is experiential and rooted in the body.

This issue of Practicing Anthropology, guest edited by University of Maryland Professor and Applied Anthropologist, Judith Freidenberg, offers a new addition to our usual format of short, reflective pieces on applied anthropological research by professional anthropologists. Judith kindly agreed to translate her introduction into her first language of Spanish, thus opening up her issue on immigration to a new audience for this journal. Given that the research discussed in this issue focuses for the most part on those who come to the United States not knowing English or knowing it as a second language, we both felt that this issue was an especially auspicious one for inaugurating a bilingual approach.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Even though pilgrimages may often be directed toward what can conventionally be seen as “religious” sacred sites, religious and ritual forms of knowledge and ignorance may not necessarily be the only, or even the most prominent, forms in their workings. Focusing on Greek Cypriots’ return pilgrimages to the Christian-Orthodox monastery of Apostolos Andreas (Karpasia) under the conditions of Cyprus's ongoing division, in this article I explore the non “religious” forms of knowing and ignoring salient to pilgrimages to sacred religious sites, the conditions under which they become relevant, and the risks associated with them. Showing how pilgrimages to the monastery of Apostolos Andreas are situated within a larger framework of seeing “our places,” I will argue that remembering and knowing these places is the type of knowledge most commonly sought out by pilgrims, while also exploring what the stakes of not knowing/forgetting them may be felt to be. An exclusive focus on “religious” forms of knowledge and ignorance would obscure the ways in which pilgrimage is often embedded in everyday social and political concerns.

Full textAbstract:
In this visual essay, I render my journey up the Tower of Experience. The tower has four levels ‐ physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual ‐ and each level expresses a different way of knowing and experiencing. These levels express a deep and broad interpretation of reality, and thus a way through which to understand artistic experience and inquiry. The tower illustrates perennialism’s hierarchical stages of ascent towards wholeness of Being, which inspire me to create integral and holistic arts learning experiences for my visual arts education students. The purpose of this essay was to visualize my felt-sense of the tower and connect this to my teaching concerns. In subsequent investigations, I will analyse the symbolism and phenomenological response to the tower artworks.

The purpose of this research is to provide insight and knowledge about the role of the Pangi Village government in helping communities affected by the Covid 19 pandemic and knowing the distribution channels of Village Fund Cash Direct Aid (BLT-Dana Desa), as well as knowing the impact felt by the beneficiary community. The target of this activity is the people of Pangi Village, Suwawa Timur District, Bone Bolango Regency, which consists of 3 hamlets with a population of 780 people and the number of aid recipients as many as 84 families. The results of this study found that the Pangi Village government had carried out the stages in distributing aid to the community correctly and on target, even though it had not been able to meet all their needs, but the people of Pangi Village were greatly helped by the existence of BLT-Daba Desa, besides that, they were increasingly aware about the dangers of Covid-19 and knowing how to prevent it.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how a systems sensing—or felt-sense—approach and orientation to inquiry and systemic constellation practice might help social change organizations cultivate capacities to better navigate complexity, both in their outer-facing work and internal dynamics as teams and as individuals. We present a pilot study of systemic constellation practice, sharing the experience of participants during and after the practice, as well as our own reflexive process. Currently an undertheorized and underutilized approach within systems thinking work, systems sensing and systemic constellation, can reveal less visible but nevertheless foundational dynamics at play in an organizational body, and can help create more awareness through widening ways of knowing in the organizational playground. We explore how the facilitated collective sense-making process of systemic constellation engages subtle ways of knowing specifically energetic, relational, and embodied knowing, building on what Heron and Reason (2008) have called an “extended epistemology.” As we suggest, these more subtle ways of knowing warrant further study, particularly as they may contribute to action research methods and foster a more participatory culture of transformation at both an organizational and societal level.

Kramer, Brydon. "Entangled with/in empire: Indigenous nations, settler preservations, and the return of buffalo to Banff National Park." Thesis, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/1828/12476.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis mobilizes the concept of “colonial entanglement” to emphasize the deep complexity and unpredictability of Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships within what is now known as the Banff-Bow Valley. Responding to various literatures—including Indigenous Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, Political Theory, and Canadian Politics—I posit that the concept of colonial entanglements offers a parallax view of contexts, such as the Banff-Bow Valley, and events like the Buffalo Reintroduction Project. Not only does such a concept reveal how Indigenous nations— both human and non-human—are targeted by the racializing and gendered entanglements of colonizing regimes that seek to break up and replace them, but it also shows how these nations continue to persist and resist despite colonizing efforts to achieve otherwise. In other words, colonial entanglements compel one to also consider how nations like the Ĩyãħé Nakoda also exert influence on other Indigenous and non-Indigenous life in the Banff-Bow Valley—albeit, in different ways and to different degrees.
After unpacking the concept in the first chapter, I use colonial entanglement to show how colonizing regimes and their expansionist modes of relationship react to the Indigenous nations they become entangled with. Using the signing of Treaty 7 and the establishment of a national park in Banff, I reveal how the Canadian state seeks to erect colonizing regimes of property that cater to capital as they transit the Banff-Bow Valley by ‘breaking up’ and ‘breaking from’ Indigenous nations and their expansive modes of relationship. Next, I consider how such reactionary violence is continually justified and legitimated through the articulation and reiteration of state of nature fictions that rely on notions of wilderness and tropes of Indigeneity to delegitimize the enduring presence of Indigenous nations. Specifically, I look at the Indian Act, the prohibition of hunting in the Park, and the Banff Indian Days festival to show how state of nature fictions articulate a supposed transition from a “past state of nature” to a contemporary “state of (dis)possession” entangled with white supremacist and heteropatriarchal forms of power. In doing so, these fictions make and reproduce colonial subjects who buy into and support colonizing violence and breakage that disproportionately targets those Indigenous to place. In the final chapter, I turn to focus on the Buffalo Reintroduction Project. Here, I consider how the project presents contemporary opportunities for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to support and/or disrupt colonizing states of (dis)possession and the state of nature fictions they rely on, while also considering the project’s potential for a politics oriented towards expansive modes of relationship revolving around principles of decolonization and anti-colonial internationalism.Graduate

Ángel Bonomini was born in Buenos Aires in 1929 where he lived until his death at the age of sixty-four in 1994. He worked for various newspapers and magazines as an art critic and translator, but always maintaining his literary activity. He inherited the tradition of the Argentine fantastic and was a prolific writer: his production includes essays, poems and fantastic tales.Although he lived in a period of great cultural splendor and his literary talent was recognised by authors such as Borges and Bioy Casares, he fell into an unexplained oblivion, disappearing quite early from the contemporary intellectual environment. His first poems, which date back to the 1950s, were published in Sur magazine and some of his tales were included in well-known anthologies of fantastic literature.Among his collections of poems there are: Primera enunciación (1947), Argumento del enamorado. Baladas con Ángel (1952) written with María Elena Walsh, Torres para el silencio (1982) and Poética (1994). In 1972 he achieved great success with the publication of his first collection of fantastic tales, Los novicios de Lerna, followed by the publication of other books: Libro de los casos (1975), Los lentos elefantes de Milán (1978), Cuentos de amor (1982), Historias secretas (1985) and Más allá del puente (1996), posthumously published.A particular use of the fantastic characterises his work and distinguishes him from his contemporary authors. In his tales there is a continuous contrast between metaphysics and existentialism; in this way, he makes a deep investigation of the reality and, at the same time, he tries to go beyond it.This volume aims to analyse some emblematic tales by Bonomini in which it is possible to find the main topoi of Argentine fantastic and to understand why the author’s literary work is worth studying.

Full textAbstract:
Emotions are not merely physiological disturbances: they are experiences through which we apprehend truths about ourselves and the world. Emotions embody an understanding that is accessible to us only by means of affective experience. Only through emotions can we perceive meaning in life, and only by feeling emotions are we capable of recognizing the value or significance of anything whatsoever. Our affective responses and dispositions therefore play a critical role in our apprehension of meaningful truth—furthermore, their felt quality is intimately related to the awareness that they provide. Truthfulness is at issue in episodes of such emotions as anger, fear, and grief. Even apparently irrational emotions can show us what distinguishes emotion from other modes of cognitive activity: the turbulent feeling of being afraid is our way of recognizing a potential threat as such. What is disclosed to us when we experience fear can be either a misconstrual of something harmless as a danger or an axiologically salient fact about the world. Yet only a being able to perceive itself as threatened is susceptible to becoming afraid. So the later chapters of Knowing Emotions turn to the background conditions of affective experience: for instance, why it is only if we care about the life and well-being of a person that we are disposed to react with fear when that person is threatened? Our emotional dispositions of love, care, and concern serve as conditions of possibility for the discovery of significance or value, enabling us to perceive what is meaningful.

Full textAbstract:
Through our emotions we discern what has meaning or significance for us, and our capacity for affective apprehension is embodied in specific ways. To become passionately agitated, in one way or another, is to have one’s attention drawn to something that is experienced as axiologically prominent, and to be moved to respond accordingly. Moreover, the phenomenal character of emotion is intimately linked with what it reveals: to be frightened is thus to have an experience in which an apparent danger is recognized in a compelling manner. Likewise, it is by way of the visceral feelings of being agitated by grief that we fully recognize the death of a loved one. A more dispassionate judgment about such existentially significant matters falls short of what is disclosed to us in experiences of emotional knowing. What is at issue in our affective experience is nothing less than our sense of reality.

Full textAbstract:
The conclusion of this book calls attention to the relationship between comprehending realist fiction and Aristotle’s claim that mimetic representation provides a form of aesthetic pleasure distinct from our response to what is represented. It also argues that, by demonstrating how much nineteenth-century novelists depend on the knowledge and abilities that readers bring to a text, cognitive research on reading helps us revisit long-standing theoretical assumptions in literary studies. Because the felt experience of reading is so distinct from the mental acts underlying it, knowing more about the basic architecture of reading can help literary critics refine their claims about what novels can and cannot do to their readers.

Full textAbstract:
In this contribution, Birgit Abels explores music-making as a knowledge practice that can teach us a lot about a postcolonial world where hegemonic and disenfranchised epistemologies compete. Music ›is‹ not; music is only ever becoming, and that becoming interlaces with our own becoming. In music's evanescence lies its efficacy. Process-philosophically, the efficacy of music can never be categorical: a signified, a given or purely subjective (however defined). Instead, music affects, and interacts with, the felt body as a continuous, amorphous stream of layered complexity. This complexity straddles the territorial boundaries of the material and the immaterial, of the referential and the essential; and, it is deeply relational in nature. Outlining music-making's relational capacities through the terms ›sound knowledge‹ and ›sound work‹, in this contribution, Abels will quickly arrive at the atmospheric workings of sonic practices. We know through music not least atmospherically, and we act on that knowledge in ways that cannot possibly be pinned down to either the signified or the sonically essential. Exploring music-making in terms of sound knowledge, she argues, has the potential to open up post- colonial studies' much lamented, but nonetheless persistent heavy textual bias in favour of a more encompassing consideration of cultural practices.

Princeton University Press, 2015), this time often referred to as the Anthropocene, science educators and researchers have been called to break with post-positivism, dualisms, and reductionism to settle on new onto-epistemological grounds (Bazzul and Kayumova,.Educational Philosophy and Theory 48:284–299, 2016; Haraway, D. (2016). Staying with the trouble: Making kin in the Chthulucene. Duke University Press.; Lather & St. Pierre in International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education 26:629–633, 2013).

Abstract As the climate changes, natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. Some disasters are sudden and briefly devastating. Research shows that, in response, many people emigrate temporarily but return when the danger is past. The effect of slow-onset disasters can be equally disruptive but the economic and social impacts can last much longer. In Australia, extreme heat and the rising frequency of heat waves is a slow-onset disaster even if individual periods of hot weather are brief. This chapter investigates the impact of increasing heat stress on the intention of people living in Australia to migrate to cooler places as an adaptation strategy using an online survey of 1344 people. About 73% felt stressed by increasing heat of which 11% expressed an intention to move to cooler places in response. The more affected people had been by the heat, the more likely they were to intend to move. Tasmania was a preferred destination (20% of those intending to move), although many people (38%) were unsure where they would go. As Australia becomes hotter, heat can be expected to play a greater role in people’s mobility decisions. Knowing the source and destination of this flow of internal migrants will be critical to planning and policy-making.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe purpose of this chapter is to introduce response-ability as a concept and practice to (re)open science education’s understanding and enactments of responsibility towards Indigenous ways-of-living-with-nature (IWLN) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). This is significant as even well-intentioned forms of responsibility are often and inadvertently over-coded by the (neo-)colonial logics that it sets out to refuse and resist: responsibility and the ability to respond are often not one and the same. Within this chapter, I revisit a significant personal pedagogical encounter in which this distinction made itself felt and known. Thinking with the work of Sami scholar Rauna Kuokkanen, this narrative provides a platform to explore practices of epistemic ignorance and its (co-)constitutive relation to knowledge, as well as what she refers to as “the homework of response-ability” required to (re)open the norms of responsiveness towards the possibility of heeding the call of Indigenous science from within the structure of science education. Concluding thoughts underscore the promise of deconstruction (rather than destruction) as a theoretical, methodological, and ethical tool to resist the (fore)closure of responsibility towards hospitably receiving Indigenous science on its own terms.

Full textAbstract:
The Weimar Republic was one of the most fertile epochs in German philosophy, and its effects are still being felt today. The call for “new thinking” was shared by otherwise disparate approaches. The phenomenologists sought to find the “beginnings” of knowing in pre-scientific phenomena, while thinkers at the forefront of what would later be known as analytic philosophy found a new approach to philosophy in the analysis of language. A third approach took its starting point from the fact of culture and sought to find a new orientation for philosophy in the study of the historical world. This movement, known as “Kulturphilosophie” (the philosophy of culture), was often regarded as a more conservative approach to philosophy. This chapter highlights the characteristics of Kulturphilosophie. The discipline was pioneered by the sociologist Georg Simmel and perfected by the philosopher Ernst Cassirer especially in his monumental, three-volume masterpiece, The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms.

Full textAbstract:
This coda is inspired by a dream in which an elemental being advises that those of us seeking to make life in the face of ecological, political, and spiritual disaster “gather and vote.” Voting goes beyond casting a ballot at the polls as it derives from the same root as devotion and convocation. Undoing the Anthropocene requires devotion to the Earth “Mutha’ ” as well as recognition that life is a convocation, a coming together of all participating in the continuous process of making life. This is perhaps the most needful of knowledges in the Anthropocene. This knowing cannot be abstract but must be felt with the heart and put into practice—individual, communal, ritual. Consider it, then, our most profound civic birthright and responsibility to recognize the larger earth-community of which we are a part and to gather and vote, in the sense of invoking and expressing devotion, for Mother Nature-Earth.

Full textAbstract:
To learn, teachers need to be willing to take risks. Although they are classroom leaders, they don’t have to know it all. When we had our 20-year reunion of former and current OC teachers, one former OC teacher commented that admitting what she did not know to her teaching colleagues at her new school made her uncomfortable. Others pointed out that even as new OC teachers, saying “I don’t know” sometimes felt too risky. With more experience in the OC, however, they gained the confidence necessary to comfortably admit when they were uncertain or lacking knowledge. We began speculating about the sources of our initial discomfort. One teacher described how her own child’s teacher, in another school, felt compelled to maintain the appearance of always knowing exactly what she was doing even when she herself had many questions. She felt the need to demonstrate that her class was in control and that the kids were progressing at the same rate as those in the other classes. Without the support of other teachers, she could not disclose that she had much to learn. We speculated that a basic tenet of the OC—that learning is a process—encourages people to admit when their understanding is incomplete. No one, including the teachers, is expected to know everything. In a collaborative learning environment, people can say, “I don’t know,” and then use that acknowledgment— whether with students, parents, or teachers—as the starting point for learning. For example, when a child comes up with a question, a teacher is valued for responding, “Great question. Let’s go learn about it. I want to know the answer, too.” If the accepted approach is that “we’re all learning together,” then no one has to carry the burden of always being the expert. This is the heart of collaborative learning. Functioning as a learning community doesn’t just happen. In communicating with parents, OC teachers have to help them see that it’s okay for teachers not to know everything. The notion that “I don’t know” is a legitimate answer that forms a sound starting point for collaborative learning is a new idea for many parents.

The new normality has brought with it a number of challenges and changes that have produced immediate and profound effects both in the way business is conducted, the online negotiations giving a formal and less human character, and in the way the employees perceive the work carried out exclusively online. Research has revealed a new phenomenon called "Zoom Fatigue" which is reflected in the human psyche through exhaustion and burnout, a phenomenon caused by the intensity and long duration of video calls and frequent online meetings. Additional cognitive processes required by video calls, the concentration required to absorb all the information transmitted, the lack of visual breaks, multitasking, as well as the merging of professional activity with the familiar environment from the comfort of our home, have led to psychological consequences, such as pronounced fatigue, exhaustion or irritation. All these effects are felt differently by men and women, the latter suffering more from videoconferencing and online work. At the same time, extroverts were found to be less tired than introverted people, feeling the effects of the "Zoom Fatigue" phenomenon differently. For the proper conduct of work and for the creation of a healthy organizational climate and an ethical organizational culture, the role of managers in knowing employees at a human level is of outmost importance, in order to best manage such situations and to identify appropriate measures for motivation and support aimed in particular at female and vulnerable personnel. Orientation towards setting a precise schedule for organizing video conferencing, recommending to avoid multitasking and reducing on-screen stimulus, setting visual breaks, avoiding the use of video calls in their spare time are some of the measures that managers can implement among their employees.

Abstract When the handrail assembly broke away from a wooden deck attached to the rear of a private residence, the victim fell 12 feet to the lawn and sustained injuries rendering him a quadriplegic. Although the local building code required the handrail to withstand a 200 lb load applied in any direction at any point on the handrail, no guidance was given to the do-it-yourselfer who built the deck and railings to assure him that the final construction would produce an acceptable railing. The authors conducted testing and a statistical analysis of railing strength comparing the construction method used by the builder of the accident railing to another construction method utilizing a commercially available handrail bracket. The test program demonstrates that the strength of the wood used to build handrails can vary greatly and that a controlled method of building a handrail is necessary to ensure the integrity of a product intended to be consumer customized and assembled. It is necessary to have acceptable methods of railing construction because the failure of a railing joint can be life threatening. This is especially true in the consumer/do-it-yourself market where the designer/builder is not necessarily knowledgeable about building codes or construction methods. A commercially available handrail bracket known as Create-A-Rail® can provide the consumer with the guidance necessary to assure an acceptable handrail / post joint.

There are several types of sources for clusters or free radicals presently in existence. However, apart from mass distributions, ionization potentials, and some chemical reactivity data, very little is known so far about these new states of matter. Neither the electronic structure nor the geometric structure of the various clusters are known so far. The reason for this lack of information is the low density of clusters in the beam produced by today's sources. Nevertheless, having an intense VUV-soft x-ray FEL-based source available it will be feasible to study the electronic structure and, to some extent, the geometric structure of mass selected clusters.

Full textAbstract:
Insects as mechanical systems have been optimized for form and function over millions of years. Ants, in particular, can lift and carry extremely heavy loads relative to their body mass. Loads are lifted with the mouthparts, transferred through the neck joint to the thorax, and distributed over six legs and feet that anchor to the supporting surface. While previous research efforts have explored attachment mechanisms of the feet, little is known about the mechanical design of the neck — the single joint that connects the load path from the thorax to the head. This work combines mechanical testing, computed tomography (CT) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging, and computational modeling to better understand the mechanical structure-function relation of the ant neck joint.

In 2018 12th International Pipeline Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc2018-78554.
Full textAbstract:
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)1 on April 8, 2016 that is expected to have an impact on the pipeline industry’s approach to crack growth analyses. Specifically, the NPRM defines values for pipe toughness that should be used in analyzing crack anomalies that are subjected to fatigue growth for instances in which known or measured pipe toughness values are not available. Pipeline Operators conduct these types of analyses to derive remaining life values which can in turn be utilized to establish pipeline integrity reassessment intervals. Thus, the impacts of this NPRM are felt by all pipeline operators who own assets in which cracking is considered a threat. The goal of this paper is to quantify the effects of using the NPRM defined toughness values in pressure test assessments for scenarios where pipe toughness values are unavailable.

Full textAbstract:
Academic writing is an indispensable requirement at tertiary level. The relationship between writing skills and attitudes towards writing has received much attention from scholars. However, less is known about how EFL learners’ attitudes towards academic writing are correlated with their self-efficacy in this particular skill. Thus, the present study aims at examining this relationship among third-year English major learners at a university in Ho Chi Minh City. A total of 89 learners participated in the study by completing a questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using quantitative methods. Results showed that there was no difference in academic writing self-efficacy among the participants whereas the females felt more positive about their academic writing compared to the males. Notably, a correlation exists between academic writing attitudes and self-efficacy. These findings confirmed the need of raising teachers’ awareness of motivational factors that can increase academic writing attitudes and self-efficacy among EFL learners.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of exposure to mechanical force on the blood and blood vessels were studied concentrating on the factors of thrombosis and hemostasis. (I) The palms of 10 healthy males were exposed to mechanical vibration (35 Hz, 5 G, 5 mm p-p) for 5 min. Euglobulin fractions were separated from the pre- and postvibration blood samples. The fibrinolytic activity, measured with the fibrin plate method, increased after vibration; fibrinolytic areas (pre/post) = 15.3 ± 6.0/18.6 ± 8.4 mm2 . The tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) from endothelial cells of blood vessels was measured with the same blood samples by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using monoclonal antibodies. It was proportional to the fibrinolytic activity; t-PA (pre/post) = 1.36 ± 1.09/1.58 ± 1.21 ng/ml. This suggests that the t-PA from the endothelial cells participates in increasing the fibrinolytic activity. (II) Six healthy males performed the side-step test for 5 min. At pre- and post-exercise, blood was collected from the great saphenous vein and its t-PA was measured to investigate the direct effect of mechanical force on the sole of the feet. As a control, the t-PA of the median venous blood was also measured. When the side-step test was performed with bare feet, the t-PA increased in the great saphenous venous blood, but not so much in the control. On the other hand, when the same test was done with the subjects wearing shoes, the t-PA did not increase. These data show that the mechanical force directly releases t-PA from the endothelial cells of the foot vessels in the soles of the feet, and that shoes can protect the feet from shock.The influence of physical exercise on fibrinolytic activity is well known. In the mechanism, endothelial cells are thought to be stimulated by vasoactive hormones. However, the direct influence of mechanical force on the blood vessels must also be considered.

Full textAbstract:
In modern weapons systems, fuze is known as the “brain” of the ammunition, whose performance will directly affect the combat effectiveness. It guarantees the safety of ammunition during the logistical processing and makes the ammunition reliably function after launch. In the fuze system, the delay arming device is closely related to the fuze performance and safety reliability, which affects the muzzle safety distance. After years of development, the performance of delay arming device has been developed and improved, but malignant accidents such as explode in the chamber, early burst and dud have occurred from time to time. This paper investigated a standing wave linear ultrasonic motor applied to the fuze delay arming device as the arming actuator. The motor is made up of a cuboid with two drive feet and a slider with a convex part, both having a through hole. The first order longitudinal vibration and second order bending vibration of the stator were selected as working modes. The prototype was fabricated and the vibration mode test was carried out, indicating the motor can generate two-phase required oscillation modes. The frequency sweep test was also performed and two-phase frequency is proved quite close. The experiments on the motor mechanical performance were done, and the speed of the motor is 88.2 mm/s, furthermore the reciprocating motion of the slider is flexible.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Multiple System Atrophy is a neurodegenerative disease with parkinsonism, cerebelar ataxia and autonomic failure. Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation diseases are neurodegenerative diseases, as the Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration, with a very distinct pattern on neuroimaging, known as the “Eye of the Tiger Sign”, which is rare in MSA but many studies confirm the role of striatal regions iron accumulation in parkinsonisms. Objective: We describe MSA patients with iron accumulation in striatal regions in neuroimaging. Methods: We report clinical cases from São Paulo State University-Brazil. Results: 62-year-old with 5 years of bradykinesia and stiffness progressing to wheelchair, REM sleep behavioral disorder, no improvement with levodopa, disarthrophonia and choking with gastrostomy after 3 years, associated to syncope episodes. Neurological examination showed blood pressure of 105x80mmHg lying down and 80x60mmHg standing up, severe disarthrophonia, anterocapitis, severe parkinsonism, postural instability and ataxia. Neuroimaging showed the “Eye of the Tiger”, “putaminal rim” and the “hot cross bun” signs. 78-year-old with 1.5 years syncope episodes, slow walking, falls, difficulty moving hands and feet and constipation. No improvement with levodopa. Neurological examination showed blood pressure of 130x80 mmHg lying down and 90x60 mmHg standing up, severe bradykinesia and stiffness, drooling, ataxia and “square-wave jerks”. Neuroimaging showed “Eye of Tiger” and bilateral “putaminal rim” signs and cerebellar atrophy. In both cases were excluded all differential diagnosis. Conclusions: Both cases fulfilled criteria for MSA, with the radiological sign of the “Eye of the Tiger”. We emphasize the importance of knowing this variation of MSA to avoid diagnostic confusion.

Wellbeing in UK Frontline Healthcare Workers During Peaks One and Three of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Analysis. Science Repository, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31487/j.ejgm.2022.01.01.
Full textAbstract:
Background: COVID-19 had a huge impact on the wellbeing of healthcare workers (HCWs). This is well documented during the first peak of the pandemic. With cases in the UK rising for a third peak, hospitalisations and deaths surpassing the first, there is very little known about the mental health of HCWs during this time. Methods: Using a questionnaire, data was collected from patient-facing staff at Barking, Havering, and Redbridge University Trust to quantify and compare the period prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD during the first peak (P1: March-May 2020) and third peak (P3: December 2020-Feburary 2021) of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as wellbeing service use, demographics of responders and what they found most difficult during the peaks. Results: Of 158 responders, only 22·4% felt they had enough access to wellbeing services during P1 and 21·5% in P3. Of those who used wellbeing services 34·4% found them useful in P1 and 34·6% in P3. 70·3% of responders felt that not enough was done for staff wellbeing. The median anxiety score decreased from P1 (10(range 5-17)) to P3 (8(range 4-16)) p=0·031. Under 30-year-olds’ depression and PTSD scores increased from P1 to P3 (depression: P1 7(1-11), P3 8(3-14), p=0·048, PTSD: P1 4(0-7) peak 3 5(2-9), p=0·037). Several groups showed a decrease in anxiety scores from P1 to P3 including; over 30-year-olds (P1 10(5-17), P3 7(3-15) p=0·002), BME responders (P1 8(3·75-15) P3 6·5(1-12) p=0·006), AHP (P1 14(7-19), P3 11(5-19) p=0·005), ITU workers (P1 15(8-18·25) P3 12(5·75-18·25) p=0·004), and those who were redeployed (P1 8(5-18·25), P3 5(2-14·75), p=0·032). Conclusion: We have observed changes in mental health symptoms within the study population as the peaks of the pandemic continue. With the majority of responders reporting they felt not enough had been done for their wellbeing support - and of those who used the wellbeing services only around 1/3 felt they were useful - we hope that this paper can help inform wellbeing provision and identify groups at higher risk of developing mental health symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: To compile evidence and determine the utility of various methods used to sanitize footwear and textiles, and the use of novel antimicrobial materials for eradication of pathogens known to cause superficial fungal infections of the foot. Rationale: Fungal infections of the feet such as onychomycosis are common, affecting approximately 6% of the global population. There are a number of available treatment methods for onychomycosis, with topical (e.g., efinaconazole, tavaborole, ciclopirox), oral (e.g., terbinafine, itraconazole, fluconazole), or a combination of both, being the most popular. Sanitization of shoes, socks/stockings, and other textiles (as well as the feet themselves through proper hygiene) is integral to the reduction, spread, and recurrence of superficial fungal infection. The goal of the present review is to examine the currently available methods of sanitization for footwear and textiles against superficial fungal infections, and assessing which are effective or not.

Full textAbstract:
Several regions of the world already have or are in the process of developing an early warning system (EWS) for earthquakes. As is well known, earthquakes cannot be predicted in the short term. However, an EWS is based on the principle that when a strong earthquake occurs, the initial seismic waves detected by seismographs near the epicentre can be quickly analysed. Once analyzed automatically, an alarm signal can be sent to more distant areas before damaging seismic waves arrive. This alert can then be used to take action before the seismic waves arrive (such as stopping industrial activities for example). In Canada, these technologies are being developed for the Pacific region and Eastern Canada. Quebec is particularly interesting because earthquakes of magnitude 5 are felt at great distances, which increases the warning time when an earthquake occurs. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) will lead this initiative, in partnership with provincial collaborators. The private sector will also be involved through the development of software and applications. NRCan is therefore reaching out to potential partners in such an earthquake warning system.

Full textAbstract:
Following the construction of the railroad causeway in 1959, a perennial halite (NaCl) bottom crust has been known to exist in the north arm (Gunnison Bay) of Great Salt Lake, Utah, but the lake conditions controlling accumulation or dissolution of the crust are not well defined, including how depth-controlled chemodynamic and hydrodynamic factors influence the degree of the halite saturation. Immediately prior to the opening of a new bridge in the causeway in early December 2016 when north arm lake elevation was at a historical low (just above 4189 feet), the north arm lake brine was at halite saturation. After the opening, inflow of less saline south arm water mixed with north arm water, raised lake elevation, and diluted the north arm lake brine to undersaturation with respect to halite. The following five years have resulted in annual and seasonal fluctuations of halite saturation states. Beginning in mid-2019, the Utah Geological Survey began a study of the north arm to better understand and document the transitions of halite saturation state following the bridge opening using newly collected data as well as reviewing available past data.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the use of artificial neural networks to predict UHPC compressive strengths given thermal history and key mix components. The model developed herein employs Bayesian variational inference using Monte Carlo dropout to convey prediction uncertainty using 735 datapoints on seven UHPC mixtures collected using a variety of techniques. Datapoints contained a measured compressive strength along with three curing inputs (specimen maturity, maximum temperature experienced during curing, time of maximum temperature) and five mixture inputs to distinguish each UHPC mixture (cement type, silicon dioxide content, mix type, water to cementitious material ratio, and admixture dosage rate). Input analysis concluded that predictions were more sensitive to curing inputs than mixture inputs. On average, 8.2% of experimental results in the final model fell outside of the predicted range with 67.9%of these cases conservatively underpredicting. The results support that this model methodology is able to make sufficient probabilistic predictions within the scope of the provided dataset but is not for extrapolating beyond the training data. In addition, the model was vetted using various datasets obtained from literature to assess its versatility. Overall this model is a promising advancement towards predicting mechanical properties of high strength concrete with known uncertainties.

Full textAbstract:
On the occasion of the centenary of the First World War, remembered across the world from 2014 until the end of 2018, many aspects and experiences of this global conflict have been re-examined or brought to light for the first time, as we honour the memory of those estimated 16 million soldiers and civilians who perished in what was then known as the ‘Great War’, or the ‘War to End All Wars’. So many of these died on the infamous fields of Flanders, where Allied and Central Forces dug themselves into trenches for the better part of four years. Over the past few years, new research has brought to light many insights into the plight of animals in this War, which – for the younger readers amongst you – was fought at the dawn of motorised warfare, using anything powered by two or four feet or paws, from the homing pigeons delivering secret messages across enemy lines, to the traction provided by oxen and mules to pull cannons and other heavy artillery, to the horses of the cavalry. Not least among these roles was the supply of animal protein to the troops, whether this came through the specific designation of animals for this purpose or as the result of a failed attempt at delivering any of the above services. Several leading publications today have documented the role (and suffering) of animals in ‘La Grande Guerre’. Less so the role of veterinarians in the ‘War to End All Wars’. Who were they? How many? How were they organised? What did they do, on either side of the enemy lines? The present article is a humble attempt to shed some light on these veterinary colleagues, based on available, mostly grey, literature…

Full textAbstract:
Amphibians are a Vital Sign indicator for monitoring long-term ecosystem health in seven national park units that comprise the Great Lakes Network. We present here the results for 2019 amphibian monitoring at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (PIRO). Appendices contain tabular summaries for six years of cumulative results. The National Park Service Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network established 10 permanent acoustic amphibian monitoring sites at PIRO in 2013. Acoustic samples are collected by placing automated recorders with omnidirectional stereo microphones at each of the 10 sampling sites. Temperature loggers co-located with the recorders also collect air temperature during the sampling period. We expanded analyses and reporting in 2018 to address calling phenology and to provide a second metric for tracking changes in abundance across years. Occupancy analyses track whether or not a site was occupied by a species. Abundance is tracked by assessing how the maximum call intensity changes on sites across years, and by how many automated detections are reported from sites across years. Using two independent survey methods, manual and automated, with large sample sizes continues to return reliable results, providing a confident record of site occupancy for most species. The monitoring program detected five of the six species of frog and toad known to occur at PIRO in 2019, with Eastern American Toad, Gray Treefrog, Green Frog, and Spring Peeper occurring at almost every site sampled. Wood Frog was found at five sites. Mink Frog is known to occur at Sand Point but has never been confirmed at sites monitored by this GLKN program. Additional species of potential occurrence remain hypothetical (i.e., Northern Leopard Frog). The only significant data collection issue in 2019 was at PIRO02, where the equipment recorded only intermittently resulting in only partial data analysis possible. Remaining sites successfully collected data as programmed. Cumulative program result summaries since inception are provided in appendices. Temperature logs in 2019 showed that the threshold of ≥40°F was uniformly exceeded by 1 May, hence we recommend making 10 April the target start date for data collection in future. This could be accomplished by fall deployment of recorders on delayed starts. We also recommend making sure that recorders are mounted 6–10 feet high to better survey the soundscape with less interference from foliage, and that temperature loggers be placed within solar shields.
