"A Randomized Sham-Controlled Mixed Methods Pilot Study of the Feasibility of Acupuncture for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy: Lessons Learned From Patient Experiences in Integrative Cancer Care."

Objective Since there is a lack of effective pharmacological therapies for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy and many patients ask for integrative cancer therapies such as acupuncture, the objective of this pilot study was to describe patients’ experiences, and to study the feasibility and short-term effects of genuine acupuncture for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain and unpleasant sensations compared to sham acupuncture. Methods: The pilot study used mixed methods, collecting quantitative and qualitative data. Patients (n = 12) with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy after colorectal cancer were blindly randomized to genuine acupuncture or telescopic sham acupuncture. Individual interviews were conducted, and were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The patients registered pain and unpleasant sensations (100 mm Visual Analog Scales) before and after n = 120 sessions, n = 60 genuine and n = 60 sham acupuncture sessions. Results: Five categories of patient experiences were described. The neuropathy negatively affected life. Physical activity was perceived to be important for health, but neuropathy was a barrier. The neuropathy required symptom-managing strategies. Acupuncture was pleasant and valuable, but some patients presented doubts regarding its effect mechanisms. After the genuine acupuncture sessions, pain (mean −2.0 steps relief during each session) and unpleasant sensations (−2.4) in the face was reduced more than after sham acupuncture (+0.1 steps worse pain, P = .018, +0.1 steps worse unpleasant sensations, P = .036). After genuine acupuncture, unpleasant sensations in the hands were reduced less (−0.23) compared to after sham acupuncture (−5.5, P = .002). Pain or unpleasant sensations in the feet did not change. Conclusions: Patients experienced that the neuropathy negatively changed their life and that acupuncture was pleasant and valuable. Patients receiving genuine acupuncture had short-term effects regarding pain and unpleasant sensations in the face compared to patients receiving sham acupuncture, while hands and feet did not improve. The patients were successfully blinded and complied with the acupuncture. We welcome future full-scaled randomized sham-controlled acupuncture studies.

One possible challenge for epiphenomenalism arises from the theory of evolution: if the mental has no causal powers, how might it have evolved? The aim of this paper is to argue that, contrary to some arguments advanced by other philosophers, most particularly William Robinson and Joseph Corabi, considerations from the theory of evolution do pose a genuine difficulty for epiphenomenalism.

While the pursuit of hedonism is legitimated by neoliberal governmentality, its disciplining and isolating forces prevent individuals from being fulfilled by their pursuit of pleasure. Concomitantly, this hedonism (pursuing pleasure to avoid pain) causes individuals to withdraw from public political life. In this article we argue that, instead of attempting to pursue pleasure through the experience of material comfort, individuals ought to orient themselves towards membership in substantive political associations. Further, we argue that it is through such membership that one can attain genuine fulfilment, while simultaneously reclaiming agency, both on individual and collective terms. Though individuals must be willing to take on the risk of pain, their membership in substantive political associations provides genuine fulfilment, while also allowing for the construction of new worlds through political action.

Full textAbstract:
197 Background: Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) has been described as a paradoxical response whereby opioid administration induces an increase in pain sensitivity rather than an analgesic effect. It is proposed this results from increased pro-nociceptive sensitivity following changes in central and peripheral neural pathways. While there is basic science and pre-clinical evidence supporting OIH, debate remains about its clinical relevance or even existence. The existence or otherwise of OIH has relevance for palliative care as many patients are prescribed opioids and the standard management of unstable pain in palliative care may worsen symptoms in OIH. Therefore recognition of the concept would seem important for palliative care clinicians. Methods: An electronic survey of Australian and New Zealand palliative care clinicians was undertaken addressing awareness of OIH as well as approaches to recognising and managing it. The survey which contained single response, multiple-choice and open-ended questions was distributed through the Australian New Zealand Society of Palliative Medicine. Mixed-methods analysis was performed. Results: One hundred and twenty-three surveys were returned (response rate = 31%). The majority of respondents identified as palliative care specialists. More than 75% of respondents reported observing OIH in their clinical practice, often with malignant disease and with morphine, oxycodone and fentanyl identified as the commonest causal agents. The three features felt to be most suggestive of OIH were; escalating pain despite increasing opioids, demonstrable hyperalgesia or allodynia and a more diffuse pain distribution away from pre-existing pain sites. Most clinicians utilized more than one approach when OIH was encountered. The commonest of these were opioid reduction, opioid rotation and optimization of adjuvant analgesia. Conclusions: Our survey found a higher rate of reported observation of OIH amongst clinicians than might have been anticipated given debate about the existence of OIH in humans outside of a research environment. These results suggest that many palliative care clinicians perceive OIH to be a genuine issue for their patients.

La capacité à ressentir la douleur est cruciale pour la vie, car elle sert de système d’alerteprécoce en cas de dommages potentiels pour le corps. La majorité des évaluations dela douleur reposent sur les rapports des patients. En revanche, les patients incapablesd’exprimer leur douleur doivent plutôt se fier aux rapports de tierces personnes sur leursouffrance. En raison des biais potentiel de l’observateur, les rapports sur la douleurpeuvent contenir des inexactitudes. En outre, il serait impossible de surveiller les patients 24 heures sur 24. Afin de mieux gérer la douleur, notamment chez les patients avec des difficultés de communication, des techniques de détection automatique de la douleur pourraient être mises en œuvre pour aider les soignants et compléter leur service. Les expressions faciales sont utilisées par la plupart des systèmes d’évaluation de la douleur basés sur l’observation, car elles constituent un indicateur fiable de la douleur et peuvent être interprétées à distance.En considérant que la douleur génère généralement un comportement facial spontané, les expressions faciales pourraient être utilisées pour détecter la présence de la douleur. Dans cette thèse, nous analysons les expressions faciales de la douleur afin d’aborder l’estimation de la douleur. Tout d’abord, nous présentons une analyse approfondie du problème en comparant de nombreuses architectures CNN (réseau de neurones convolutifs) courantes, telles que MobileNet, GoogleNet, ResNeXt-50, ResNet18et DenseNet-161. Nous utilisons ces réseaux dans deux modes uniques : autonome et extraction de caractéristiques. En mode autonome, les modèles (c’est-à-dire les réseaux)sont utilisés pour estimer directement la douleur. En mode extracteur de caractéristiques, les "valeurs" de la couche intermédiaire sont extraites et introduites dans desclassificateurs tels que la régression à vecteur de support (SVR) et la régression à forêtsd’arbres décisionnels (RFR).Les CNN ont obtenu des résultats significatifs dans la classification d’images et ontconnu un grand succès. Plus récemment, l’efficacité des Transformers en vision par ordinateur a été démontrée par plusieurs études. Des architectures basées sur les Transformers ont été proposées dans la deuxième section de cette thèse. Ces deux architectures distinctes ont été présentées pour répondre à deux problèmes distincts liés àla douleur : la détection de la douleur (douleur vs absence de douleur) et la distinction entre la douleur authentique et la douleur simulée. L’architecture innovante pourl’identification binaire de la douleur faciale est basée sur des transformateurs d’imagesefficaces en termes de données (Deit). Deux bases de données, UNBC-McMaster shoulder pain et BioVid heat pain, ont été utilisées pour affiner et évaluer le modèle formé. Ladeuxième architecture proposée, repose sur des transformateurs de vision pour la détection de douleurs authentiques et simulées à partir des expressions faciales (ViT). Pour distinguer la douleur authentique de la douleur simulée, le modèle doit accorder uneattention particulière aux changements subtils des expressions faciales dans le temps.L’approche employée prend en compte l’aspect séquentiel et capture les variations des expressions faciales. Les expériences ont été menées sur la base de données BioVid HeatPain démontrent l’efficacité de notre stratégieThe ability to feel pain is crucial for life, since it serves as an early warning system forpotential harm to the body. The majority of pain evaluations rely on patient reports. Patients who are unable to express their own pain must instead rely on third-party reportsof their suffering. Due to potential observer bias, pain reports may contain inaccuracies. In addition, it would be impossible for people to keep watch around the clock. Inorder to better manage pain, especially in noncommunicative patients, automatic paindetection technologies might be implemented to aid human caregivers and complementtheir service. Facial expressions are used by all observer-based pain assessment systemsbecause they are a reliable indicator of pain and can be interpreted from a distance.Taking into consideration that pain generally generates spontaneous facial behavior,these facial expressions could be used to detect the presence of pain. In this thesis, weanalyze facial expressions of pain in order to address pain estimation. First, we presenta thorough analysis of the problem by comparing numerous common CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) architectures, such as MobileNet, GoogleNet, ResNeXt-50, ResNet18, and DenseNet-161. We employ these networks in two unique modes: standalone and feature extraction. In standalone mode, models (i.e., networks) are utilized to directly estimate pain. In feature extractor mode, "values" from the middle layer are extracted and fed into classifiers like Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Random Forest Regression (RFR).CNNs have achieved significant results in image classification and have achievedgreat success. The effectiveness of Transformers in computer vision has been demonstrated through recent studies. Transformer-based architectures were proposed in the second section of this thesis. Two distinct Transformer-based frameworks were presented to address two distinct pain issues: pain detection (pain vs no pain) and thedistinction between genuine and posed pain. The innovative architecture for binaryidentification of facial pain is based on data-efficient image transformers (Deit). Twodatasets, UNBC-McMaster shoulder pain and BioVid heat pain, were used to fine-tuneand assess the trained model. The suggested architecture is built on Vision Transformers for the detection of genuine and simulated pain from facial expressions (ViT). Todistinguish between Genuine and Posed Pain, the model must pay particular attentionto the subtle changes in facial expressions over time. The employed approach takes intoaccount the sequential aspect and captures the variations in facial expressions. Experiments on the publicly accessible BioVid Heat Pain Database demonstrate the efficacy of our strategy

Wright, Crispin. Counter-Conceivability Again. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198792161.003.0013.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter is concerned with the epistemology of metaphysical possibility implicit in the famous argument against physicalism about the mental outlined in the third lecture of Saul Kripke’s Naming and Necessity. Kripke’s argument presupposes that conceivability remains the best possible indicator of possibility, even where it is metaphysical possibilities, rather than conceptual possibilities, that are concerned. The chapter argues that this principle is good only when the concepts which frame the relevant imaginative exercise are adequate to the essential nature of the items for which a putative possibility is being entertained. The result is that metaphysical impossibilities may, in certain circumstances, be perfectly lucidly conceivable; and hence that the conceivability of pain’s coming apart from any particular supposed physical identification of it is no indication of a genuine possibility for pain unless the phenomenal concept of pain is adequate to the nature of pain—which physicalism denies.

Full textAbstract:
Social evil—pain and suffering caused by game-theoretic interactions among agents—has recently received attention as a newly recognized and potentially problematic kind of evidence against theism. After an initial introduction to social evil and discussion of why it might be thought to constitute evidence against theism, I argue that social evil is in fact much rarer than it might initially appear to be, at least when we adopt a Christian ethical framework. In addition, I argue that the genuine social evils that remain after scrutiny do not provide significant new evidence against the existence of God.

Full textAbstract:
During the author’s six-year term as UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, he interviewed many hundreds of torture survivors in all world regions. This unique practical experience confirmed his legal analysis that intention and powerlessness, rather than the intensity of pain or suffering, are the decisive criteria that distinguish torture from other forms of cruel and inhuman treatment or punishment. This legal conclusion fully corresponds to the psychological findings of Başoğlu’s analysis of the question of whether the “enhanced interrogation techniques” applied by the Bush administration in the so-called US war on terror meet the definition of torture under US law. Başoğlu shows that “learned helplessness is mental harm that is severe enough to qualify as torture even by US standards.” Our two contributions leading to identical scientific findings underline that this unique book is moving multilateral research on torture to genuine interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.

Get your head out of your @*&. Snowflake. You’re an idiot. Stupid liberal. Ignorant conservative. It can feel good to use a disparaging name and dismiss a divergent belief or opinion but it turns people off from genuine engagement. At best, feelings are hurt and family and friends decide to avoid political discussions altogether. Often social groups break apart. How can deliberative democracy survive if we can’t even speak to people with whom we disagree? The conventional wisdom to avoid talking about politics has to change. We need to talk to each other about American politics more, especially to those with whom we disagree. We just need to do it better. The antecedents of bitter political disagreements are well documented but less attention is paid to ways to improve things. Public opinion doesn’t change quickly on average but it does change: how people think and feel about LGBT rights, for example, saw a meteoric change over the last few decades. Supportive people from many different social and identity groups had conversations in ways that got people out of their echo chambers to see issues in new ways. The unprecedented attitude change toward marriage equality and LGBT rights is a compelling public opinion phenomenon and a roadmap for how to talk about other contentious issues. Relying on research spanning academic disciplines, A Change is Gonna Come identifies and explains where conversations fail and how we can start to dig out of our opinion silos to make reasonable changes in everyday, interpersonal political conversations.

Full textAbstract:
In the twenty-first century, the Indo-Pacific region has become the new centre of the world. The concept of the ‘Indo-Pacific’’, though still under construction, is a potentially pivotal site, where various institutions and intellectuals of statecraft are seeking common ground on which to anchor new regional coalitions, alliances, and allies to better serve their respective national agendas. This book explores the Indo-Pacific as an ambiguous and hotly contested regional security construction. It critically examines the major drivers behind the revival of classical geopolitical concepts and their deployment through different national lenses. The book also analyses the presence of India and the US in the Indo-Pacific, and the manner in which China has reacted to their positions in the Indo-Pacific to date. It suggests that national constructions of the Indo-Pacific region are more informed by domestic political realities, anti-Chinese bigotries, distinctive properties of twenty-first century US hegemony, and narrow nation-statist sentiments rather than genuine pan-regional aspirations. The book argues that the spouting of contested depictions of the Indo-Pacific region depend on the fixed geostrategic lenses of nation-states, but what is also important is the re-emergence of older ideas—a classical conceptual revival—based on early to mid-twentieth century geopolitical ideas in many of these countries. The book deliberately raises the issue of the sea and constructions of ‘nature’, as these symbols are indispensable parts of many of these Indo-Pacific regional narratives.

Full textAbstract:
We are confronted with a new type of uncanny experience, an uncanny evoked by parallel processing, aggregate data, and cloud-computing. The digital uncanny does not erase the uncanny feeling we experience as déjà vu or when confronted with robots that are too lifelike. Today’s uncanny refers to how nonhuman devices (surveillance technologies, algorithms, feedback, and data flows) anticipate human gestures, emotions, actions, and interactions, intimating we are machines and our behavior is predicable because we are machinic. It adds another dimension to those feelings we get when we question whether our responses are subjective or automated—automated as in reducing one’s subjectivity to patterns of data and using those patterns to present objects or ideas that would then elicit one’s genuinely subjective—yet effectively preset—response. This anticipation of our responses is a feedback loop we have produced by designing software that studies our traces, inputs, and moves. Digital Uncanny explores how digital technologies, particularly software systems working through massive amounts of data, are transforming the meaning of the uncanny that Freud tied to a return of repressed memories, desires, and experiences to their anticipation. Through a close reading of interactive and experimental art works of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Bill Viola, Simon Biggs, Sue Hawksley, and Garth Paine, this book is designed to explore how the digital uncanny unsettles and estranges concepts of “self,” “affect,” “feedback,” and “aesthetic experience,” forcing us to reflect on our relationship with computational media and our relationship to others and our experience of the world.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 8 focuses on the recent enhancements to clinical processes that improve the patient–provider experience and increase successful long-term outcomes. Professionalism has at times been criticized as not being genuine, but clinical care is like an Olympic sport, it takes a lot of training to become effortless and natural. By actively incorporating essential components of the biopsychosocial model, patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, motivational interviewing, the stages of change model, healthcare ethics, and model strategies from clinical psychology, it is possible to engage in more successful and satisfying outcomes with patients. Because most chronic problems are not truly best served by a series of injections or surgeries, we need to increase knowledge of, motivation toward, and competence in the range of chronic condition management approaches that are evidence-based, safe, and effective in clinical practice.

Abstract Newcomers to the philosophy of mind are sometimes resistant to the idea that pain is a mental state. If asked to defend their view, they might say something like this: pain is a physical state, it is a state of the body. One feels a pain in one’s leg to be in the leg, not in the mind. After all, sometimes people distinguish pain which is ‘all in the mind’ from a genuine pain, sometimes because the second is ‘physical’ while the first is not. And we also distinguish mental pain (which is normally understood as some kind of emotional distress) from the physical pain one feels in one’s body.

Abstract Facial activity during painful events has attracted attention as a source of diagnostic information in adults (Craig & Prkachin, 1983; Grunau, Johnston, & Craig, 1990; Keefe, Bradley, & Crisson, 1990; LeResche & Dworkin, 1984; Prkachin & Mercer, 1989) and children (Grunau & Craig, 1987; Grunau et al., 1990; Izard, Heubner, Resser, McGinness, & Dougherty, 1980). There also is evidence that facial grimaces of pain determine the reactions of observers in the natural social environment (Craig, Grunau, & Aquan-Assee, 1988; Kleck et al., 1976; Lanzetta, Cartwright-Smith, & Kleck, 1976; Patrick, Craig, & Prkachin, 1986; Prkachin, Currie, & Craig, 1983). Thus, understanding the facial display of pain has considerable importance for understanding both clinical decision making and spontaneous social behavior.

This chapter details how the expanded criminalization trap terrorized immigrant communities in the United States, with the threat of not only criminal justice consequences but immigration consequences as well. It investigates a small group of Corporate America and Wall Street executives who have been instrumental in creating and preserving the immigration policies that have forced millions of people to live “in the shadows” as far less than equal members of the society. While many immigration issues contribute to racial injustice, the chapter focuses on whether the people, as a country, are going to continue allowing undocumented residents of the United States to be ruthlessly exploited and treated as a virtually permanent underclass. To address that issue, and demonstrate how the ultra-wealthy profit off immigrants' pain, the chapter seeks to understand how the immigration policies work in practice. Ultimately, it looks at the US policy makers' lack of genuine interest in discouraging undocumented migration into the United States and how this is intimately related to the fact that most US corporations are more than happy to benefit from an expanded and more easily exploitable labor market.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract William Henry Dorsey’s collection is full of evidence of every kind about the most exciting period in Afro-American history. In 1860 thousands of his fellow Philadelphians had once been slaves; almost all of them, slave or free, found the Civil War a liberating experience. By the end of the century even more had witnessed the ups and downs of southern Reconstruction, where early hopes for genuine political and economic inclusion were largely defeated by white southern intransigence. Historians of the South have often told the story of how the systematic denial of the vote and the spread of an officially sanctioned segregation eroded many of the gains of the late 1860s and 1870s, with help from the quasi-sanctioned practice of lynching. But the more paradoxical and in the long run equally significant history experienced by Dorsey’s own community in the same era is less familiar. The urban North already represented the future, marked by less dramatic but more complicated developments than those to the south. There were in Philadelphia few absolute triumphs, in an era in which pseudo-scientific racism infected the whole of the country, and many small victories for civility were matched or followed by defeats. But Afro-American contemporaries were more inclined to emphasize progress than pain. A major gain in personal security from white violence helped to balance the dangerous rise in vice and crime which blighted economic and personal life in growing black neighborhoods. Desegregation, however incomplete, advanced on several fronts, and there were undeniable advances in education and the professions to set against the systematic discrimination which shut the majority out of the industrial revolution. However shadowed by a subservient and even criminal politics the right to vote brought dignity to many and jobs for some, adding an important new layer to the black leadership class.

Moral Twin Earth thought experiments appear to show that practical language is highly stable, and that many possible users of practical language are capable of having genuine disagreements with each other. This chapter clarifies a tempting generalization of this idea, which is that the members of every pair of possible users of moral language are capable of having a genuine disagreement. This is the Universal Disagreement thesis. It then shows how this thesis can be adapted to a contextualist semantics for ‘ought’ and other practical terms. It concludes by arguing that, for the realist, the central explanatory target is a claim about the stability of practical language.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the impact on Czech administrative law of the pan-European principles of good administration developed by the Council of Europe (CoE). It argues that the work of the CoE in the realm of administrative law has enjoyed a limited impact on Czech administrative law. This can be attributed to the fact that Czechia did not take part in the drafting of CoE standards as well as the EU’s influence, which is gaining more and more importance, among other things. The chapter concludes that despite this rather limited effectiveness of the pan-European general principles of good administration in Czech administrative law, this does not mean that they are useless for Czechia as a country in transition endangered by a relapse into illiberalism and authoritarianism. On the contrary, they may serve as a firewall against any eventual deterioration of the national framework.

This paper covers issues in moving an Institute of 10,000 students and faculty online and managing the services. Here are some of the processes and innovations we set up to achieve this: Laptops and internet connections were arranged for needy students through Alumni donations. A Help Desk operated from 800am to 1200 midnight. The highest call load was observed at the beginning of the semester and during exams. Typical problems were ‘password not working’ and ‘not able to take the exam due to connection problems’. Faculty were trained on pedagogical issues in online teaching, and best practices on How to engage students in live lectures, especially for large classes that needed attention. LMS enhancements and integration with video conferencing platforms enabled automatic attendance marking for live lectures. Assessments posed issues. Student bandwidth would be erratic, creating problems while submitting the answer scripts. Platform logs were analyzed to check if the complaint was genuine (due to bandwidth) or spurious. Cheating during exams: Apart from proctored platforms like ProctorU and Codetantra, innovations like using Zoom simultaneously with the LMS were tried. Low value and continuous evaluation seem to reduce cheating. Differently abled persons needed special attention.

Full textAbstract:
This presentation advances a case study for an ongoing intercultural animation project which seeks to meaningfully educate New Zealand Tauiwi (the country's diverse groups, including migrants and refugees) on the values, customs and protocols (Tikanga) of Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand). Ako For Niños (‘education for children’), implemented by a migrant social services organisation and media-design team, introduces Latin American Tauiwi to Tikanga through an animated children’s series, developed with a community short story writing competition and co-design with a kaitiaki (Māori guardian/advisor). Māori are recognised in Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the founding document of New Zealand) as partners with Pākeha (European New Zealanders), and Māori knowledge and Tikanga are important to society and culture in Aotearoa. Notwithstanding, there has been a historic lack of attention paid to developing meaningful understandings of Māori perspectives for New Zealand Tauiwi. Ako For Niños endeavours to address current shortages of engaging resources on Māori worldviews for Tauiwi communities, create opportunities for Tauiwi to benefit from Māori epistemologies, and foster healthy community relationships between Māori and Latin American Tauiwi. Through the project’s short story competition, Tauiwi were given definitions of Tikanga through a social media campaign, then prompted to write a children’s tale based on one of these in their native language. This encouraged Tauiwi to gain deeper comprehension of Māori values, and interpret Tikanga into their own expressions. Three winning entries were selected, then adapted into stop-motion and 2D animations. By converting the stories into aesthetically pleasing animated episodes, the Tikanga and narratives could be made more captivating for young audiences and families, appealing to the senses and emotions through visual storytelling, sound-design, and music. The media-design team worked closely with a kaitiaki during this process to better understand and communicate the Tikanga, adapting and co-designing the narratives in a culturally safe process. This ensured Māori knowledge, values, and interests were disseminated in correct and respectful ways. We argue for the importance of creative participation of Tauiwi, alongside co-design with Māori to produce educational intercultural design projects on Māori worldviews. Creative participation encourages new cultural knowledge to be imaginatively transliterated into personal interpretations and expressions of Tauiwi, allowing indigenous perspectives to be made more meaningful. This meaningful engagement with Māori values, which are more grounded in relational and human-centred concepts, can empower Tauiwi to feel more cared for and interconnected with their new home and culture. Additionally, co-design with Māori can help to honour Te Tiriti, and create spaces where Tauiwi, Pākeha and Māori interface in genuine partnership with agency (rangatiratanga), enhancing the credibility and value of outcomes. This session unpacks the contexts informing, and methods undertaken to develop the series, presenting current outcomes and expected directions (including a screening and exhibition). We will also highlight potential for the methodology to be applied in new ways in future, such as with other Tauiwi communities, different cultural knowledge, and increased collaborative co-design with Māori.
