Abstract:

Chinese urbanization issues were analyzed from two aspects. On the one hand, segregation migrants were studied in labor market and housing conditions as invisible urbanization issue. On the other hand, over-afford housing price and urban sprawl were analyzed as prominent urbanization issue. The results show that urbanization issues arise is due to the breaking of harmonious relationship between subsystems of city.

Abstract:

One of the top reasons given for use of the internet is the ability to search for health information. However, much of the planning for web-based health information often fails to consider accessibility issues. If health care organizations and community agencies’ web sites have the latest, most wellresearched information on the health topics of the day, it is useless to those who cannot access it because of invisible technological barriers. Many flashy, high-tech sites were designed only to appeal to the needs of the mainstream population, with no consideration given to how people with disabilities must adapt their use of the web in order to access information. This article addresses issues of access specific to web site development, and will explore barriers to accessibility frequently experienced by web users with disabilities, requirements for ADA compliance, and how people with disabilities use the web. Web site accessibility guidelines, as well as simple evaluation tools, will be discussed. A thorough review of the article will enable even the least tech-savvy of health educators to enhance their skills in planning and evaluating web sites to promote access for people with disabilities.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential to use infographics to capture, represent and communicate important information to construction designers, such that it improves their ability to understand the implications of design choices for construction workers’ health and safety. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on information obtained through a photographic Q-sort, supplemented with a literature review, health and safety information related to the design of a façade was collected from subject matter experts. This information was used to develop infographics representing the subject matter knowledge. A facilitated workshop was then held with 20 design professionals to engage them in a hazard identification process using a case study scenario. The designers were provided with the infographics and asked to comment upon how the infographics changed their assessments of the health and safety risks inherent in the case study building design. A sub-set of participants was interviewed to explore their perceptions of the impact and usefulness of the inforgraphics. Findings Infographics were developed at different levels of detail, representing potential health and safety issues associated with the site location and surroundings, the construction site environment and the detailed façade design. Workshop participants identified a number of potential health and safety issues associated with the case study scenario. However, this number increased substantially once they had viewed the infographic. Further, the health and safety issues identified when participants had access to the infographic were more likely to be less visible issues, relating to ergonomic hazards, procurement or the organisation and sequencing of work. The workshop participants who were interviewed described how the infographics enabled them to make a more global assessment of the health and safety implications of the case study building design because it helped them to understand the design in the physical construction site context. Participants also favoured the visual nature of the infographics and suggested that this format may be particularly useful to communicate important health and safety information to novice designers with limited on-site experience. Research limitations/implications The infographics developed in this research were relatively simple two-dimensional representations produced and presented in hard copy format. It is possible that more sophisticated forms of infographic could have produced different results. Thus, it is important that future research develops different types of infographics and rigorously evaluates their effectiveness in developing designers’ health and safety-related knowledge and improving decision making. Practical implications The results indicate that simple infographics can help design professionals to better understand the health and safety implications of design decisions in the context of the construction site environment. In particular, the infographics appear to have increased designers’ ability to recognize less visible health and safety-related issues. The designers interviewed also described the potential usefulness of the infographics in design workshops as a tool to stimulate discussion and develop a shared understanding of the health and safety aspects of a particular design decision or choice. Originality/value The value of the research lies in the development and evaluation of infographics as a tool supports the integration of health and safety into design decision making. The potential to develop these tools into digital or web-based resources is also significant.

Abstract:

This paper aims to emphasize the importance of interpretation in the translation process, the implications deriving from it, as well as their effect on the reader and the way they affect his or her reception and cultural use of the text. This subject matter will be examined through one of Italo Calvino’s best-known works, more specifically The Invisible Cities (translated by William Weaver). This is a work that can be ascribed to one of the branches of travel literature, namely the imaginary voyage, and that can be read as a sort of philosophical vademecum. Precisely because of its nature, it can undoubtedly be considered a text characterised by a structure, a style and a language that make it susceptible to different interpretations.In the translation analysis of this work, the focus will be on how translation can sometimes move away from the so called intentio operis that is, from interpretation in semiotic terms, from what the work wants to communicate on the level of signification, expressing it through its intrinsic textual coherence (Eco, 1990). Specifically, through the examination of certain stylistic, grammatical and lexical choices made by the translator, some portions of the text will be highlighted in which the construction of the meaning differs from that of the source language, thus distorting the textual cooperation whose protagonist is the reader (Eco, 1979).

Abstract:

Technology assessment (TA) is an analytic and interactive practice that produces evaluative judgments about the societal implications of technology. Despite this distinct evaluative disposition, “normativities” inherent in TA programs and practices often remain hidden. Therefore, TA practice and outcomes often overlook a range of methodological, ethical, and political issues. In an attempt to remedy this shortcoming, this article explores how TA aims to improve political decision making in science and technology (meta-normativity) and is imbued with the values, norms, and moral positions of both participants and TA practitioners (in-normativity). It provides recommendations to render these normativities in TA more visible, and thereby amenable to reconsideration and change.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to explore and reflect upon mental health nursing and first-episode psychosis. Seven multidisciplinary focus group interviews were conducted, and data analysis was influenced by a grounded theory approach. The core category was found to be a process named ‘working behind the scenes’. It is presented along with three subcategories: ‘keeping the patient in mind’, ‘invisible care’ and ‘invisible network contact’. Findings are illuminated with the ethical principles of respect for autonomy and paternalism. Nursing care is dynamic, and clinical work moves along continuums between autonomy and paternalism and between ethical reflective and non-reflective practice. ‘Working behind the scenes’ is considered to be in a paternalistic area, containing an ethical reflection. Treating and caring for individuals experiencing first-episode psychosis demands an ethical awareness and great vigilance by nurses. The study is a contribution to reflection upon everyday nursing practice, and the conclusion concerns the importance of making invisible work visible.

Abstract:

In this paper I consider issues of transnational sexual citizenship. I examine the issue of international migration of lesbians and gay men. For lesbian and gay prospective migrants, obtaining citizenship rights is difficult owing to the laws affording status being based on bloodlines and marriage. This immediately excludes lesbian and gay relationships, which are generally not recognised for the purpose of obtaining rights of residence. I explore these issues in the context of the different policies towards the migration of lesbians and gay men in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Abstract:

Abstract Although contemporary events have made it appear that there is widespread support in Canada for history as a discipline, the reality is otherwise. Many individuals, interest groups, and even institutions make considerable use of historical arguments in public debate to advance their causes, it is true. However, it is almost invariably the case that these advocates making historical arguments are not historians. This painful reality was brought home to the historical profession in 1996-97 by such events as the release of the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and the debates over public policy issues such as copyright reform and a protocol for research involving humans. It is essential to the future of the discipline and of organisations such as CHAJSHC that historians reassert their role in the processes of researching, interpeting, and utilizing history in public discourse and academic arenas.

Abstract:

Science has never been a popular subject for Canadian playwrights. Prior to the 1960s, few if any Canadian plays of note dealt directly with topics in science, and, with a handful of exceptions – albeit some of them very prominent exceptions (in particular, John Mighton) – few contemporary Canadian playwrights have dealt directly with issues rooted in technology. There have been even fewer examples of Canadian playwrights consistently producing work in the genre in which science and technology have always flourished as subjects: science fiction or, more specifically in this article, speculative fiction (SF). For the most part, the dominant formats in Canadian drama over the past century have been varieties of realism and naturalism. Kitchen sinks, family dysfunction, a host of social ills and the harshness of the land or the city have consistently trumped works of sheer imagination in terms of critical and, apparently, audience appeal.

Abstract:

Purpose The subject of invisible disabilities is becoming more prevalent in the workplace. Invisible disabilities (as defined by the Invisible Disabilities Association) refers to symptoms such as “debilitating pain, fatigue, dizziness, cognitive dysfunctions, brain injuries, learning differences and mental health disorders, as well as hearing and vision impairments.” There are times when employees are hesitant to disclose their invisible disability to their employer or coworkers, which means that accommodations for disabilities may not be requested or made. Accommodations made in the workplace for invisible disabilities can include flexible schedule, special software for assisting with scheduling or prioritizing tasks, or architectural changes such as a standing desk. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach For this literature review, articles on invisible disabilities and accommodations were researched and used to support the importance of accommodations in the workplace. Findings Invisible disabilities are affecting the workplace and must be addressed. Those struggling with invisible disabilities need to consider sharing information about their disability with their employer as well as requesting accommodation. The question of whether or not to inform coworkers should be left to individual employees and what they feel comfortable divulging. More research needs to be done on how to create learning opportunities and sensitivity in the workplace to those with invisible disabilities. Perhaps training should be offered at the time a new employee begins work. Originality/value This literature review is of value because it speaks to an important issue facing today’s workplaces – invisible disabilities and accommodations. Mental illnesses are an invisible disability and as more people are diagnosed and enter the workforce, employers are faced with an increasing demand to meet the needs of these workers. Educating employers and employees on the topic of invisible disabilities and accommodations paves the way to a greater and more productive workforce.

Abstract:

Cycles are fast disappearing from the urban landscape, popular culture, and everyday life in India. The marginalization of cycling is seen in the backdrop of an emerging automobile culture linked with rising incomes, post-liberalization and skewed notions of modernity. The continued dominance of motorized modes seeks to claim a larger share of road space mirroring the social power structure. The majority of urban cyclists in India are low-income workers or school-going children. Despite the emergence of a subculture of recreational cycling among higher-income groups, everyday cycling confronts social bias and neglect in urban policies and public projects. The rhetoric of sustainability and equity in the National Urban Transport Policy 2006 and pro-cycling initiatives in “best practice” transit projects are subverted by not building adequate enabling infrastructure. This article presents an overview of contentious issues related to cycling in Indian cities by examining the politics of inclusion and exclusion in urban policies.

Abstract:

Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952) is awarded with National Book Award in 1953. It is a work of nationhood that discusses various topics like marginalisation, sustainability, crises of livelihood, supremacy and the socio-political instabilities. Modernity and the imperialist have brought diversity in the regional and ethical entities. Invisible Man deals with the need of willingness that is being suppressed by the unethical norms of colour, cast and creed. It also discusses the hardships of the Afro-Americans who survived in the mainstream with a spur of revival. So Invisible Man is on the other hand is treated as the voice of the marginalised. The novel begins with a first person narrative who is a black. The colour of his skin made him invisible even in his own eyes. So the question of being “I?” remains constant through out the novel. Apart from black identity and nationalism Invisible Man also discusses the substantial issues of individuality and personal identity. The narrator is being unnamed because it does not represent the black or the marginalised where as it represents the whole idea of the individuality. The novel seeks answer for the invisible ‘I’ who is needed to be visible and voiced.

Full text

Abstract:

This article, based on empirical qualitative data gained from a survey and interviews with a group of early childhood educators, argues for the inclusion of sexual differences, or more specifically, gay and lesbian equity issues, in approaches to anti-bias. The article examines the discourses that prevail in the field, that perpetuate the perceived irrelevance, invisibility and exclusion of lesbian and gay issues in early childhood settings and education generally. The discussion focuses on several main areas, including: the prevalence of the dominant discourses of childhood and sexuality that intersect to constitute sexuality as irrelevant to children; the pervasiveness of the discourse of compulsory heterosexuality and the assumed absence of gay and lesbian families in settings; or the assumed absence of significant gay and lesbian adults in children's lives; the presence of homophobia and heterosexism in early childhood settings; and the perceived irrelevance of broader social, political and economic issues to the ‘child's world’. This article highlights some crucial issues for practice and policy development in the area of anti-bias education concerned with sexual differences.

Full text

Abstract:

Awareness of welfare issues within animal collections is increasing as information becomes more accessible for staff and the public. A knowledge gap remains when considering the welfare of invertebrates, particularly when housed in public aquaria. TripAdvisor comments were analyzed for 485 worldwide aquariums. The public focused on anthropogenic features or charismatic organisms within collections. Invertebrate welfare was only presented in 18% of negative welfare comments compared with the 51% of represented vertebrates and 31% of negative general welfare comments. The UK and USA reported a greater number of perceived invertebrate welfare issues. Greater dissemination of information between aquarists and scientists should be encouraged to drive welfare standards and improve husbandry. In addition, incorporating input from invertebrate aquarists while utilizing welfare toolkits are vital for improving overall standards if we are to have greater representation of invertebrate welfare in public aquaria.

Abstract:

AbstractInteractions between microbes and human hosts can lead to a wide variety of possible outcomes including benefits to the host, asymptomatic infection, disease (which can be more or less severe), and/or death. Whether or not they themselves eventually develop disease, asymptomatic carriers can often transmit disease-causing pathogens to others. This phenomenon has a range of ethical implications for clinical medicine, public health, and infectious disease research. The implications of asymptomatic infection are especially significant in situations where, and/or to the extent that, the microbe in question is transmissible, potentially harmful, and/or untreatable. This article reviews the history and concept of asymptomatic infection, and relevant ethical issues associated with this phenomenon. It illustrates the role and ethical significance of asymptomatic infection in outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics–including recent crises involving drug resistance, Zika, and Covid19. Serving as the Introduction to this Special Issue of Monash Bioethics Review, it also provides brief summaries of the other articles comprising this collection.

Abstract:

The global impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is unprecedented, and many control and prevention measures have been implemented to test for and trace COVID-19. However, invisible-spreaders, who are associated with nucleic acid detection and asymptomatic infections, have received insufficient attention in the current COVID-19 control efforts. In this paper, we analyze the time series infection data for Italy, Germany, Brazil, India and Sweden since the first wave outbreak to address the following issues through a series of experiments. We conclude that: 1) As of June 1, 2020, the proportion of invisible-spreaders is close to 0.4% in Sweden, 0.8% in early Italy and Germany, and 0.4% in the middle and late stages. However, in Brazil and India, the proportion still shows a gradual upward trend; 2) During the spread of this pandemic, even a slight increase in the proportion of invisible-spreaders could have large implications for the health of the community; and 3) On resuming work, the pandemic intervention measures will be relaxed, and invisible-spreaders will cause a new round of outbreaks.

Abstract:

The urgent and painful costs of motherhood became strikingly clear, during the spring and summer months of 2014 when Shanesha Taylor, a homeless mother, was arrested for leaving her two children in a parked car, while at a job interview for a Scottsdale, Arizona insurance agency. The single, homeless mother perceived herself as having limited if not desperate options in trying to uplift her family. A new job would have provided more opportunities for her children. Advocates pointed out that she had left the car fan on, windows cracked open, and that it was 71 degrees outside — even though they acknowledged that leaving children alone in cars can be dangerous. Taylor was promptly arrested after completing the interview. A Washington Post reporter remarked that her “mugshot image was a painfully heartbreaking one: a mother, struggling not to cry, tears running down her cheeks.” Months after her arrest, she was finally granted limited visitation with her children. Arizona prosecutors refuse to drop the charges.

Abstract:

Globally, millions of women and men are employed to care for children, adults with physical or mental disabilities, and/or households. The outcomes of paid domestic work go far beyond the private households within which it occurs; yet, this work is most often economically and socially invisible. In this article, we detail the distinct nature of this work by bringing attention to four aspects of domestic employment: physical space, power, purpose, and emotional experiences. We also identify emerging macro-level issues that may help advance our knowledge of workers’ and employers’ experiences. In doing so, we raise questions that may enable scholars, employers, and policy makers alike to better understand and elevate the well-being of millions of workers globally.

Abstract:

Phenomenological research into life and work for people with invisible chronic illness has revealed many examples of stigmatization. In trying to make sense of one particular case, the available literature on stigma is helpful yet unsatisfying, especially when considering life and work for those with unseen illness. The article presents a review of the stigma literature followed by the presentation of a taxonomy of potential determinants and detriments of stigma for those with invisible chronic illness. It would seem that stigmatization is influenced by numerous issues: knowledge of the diagnosis, moral judgments, and incorrect knowledge held about the disease as distinct from an absence of or incomplete knowledge. The proposed taxonomy is suggested to have been helpful in explaining one person's poignant comments and is advocated for use in the analysis and interpretation of future stories of those with invisible illness.

Abstract:

This qualitative study explored the lived experiences of undocumented youth and the mental health impacts of living in daily fear of detention and deportation. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted to examine the repercussions of living without immigration status, and the descriptive data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Results indicate that lack of immigration status is associated with mental health issues, particularly anxiety. Absence of immigration status is implicated as a decisive social factor influencing individuals’ mental and social well-being.

Full text

Abstract:

Issues related to morality have been discussed in the geography literature off and on for the past fifty years. Since morality deals with correctness—right vs. wrong, good vs. bad, or correct vs. incorrect—it is not difficult to understand how these value labels also exist in geography contexts. The geography literature often deals with morality questions in a light or superficial way which leaves geographers and others wondering if there are more value questions we might address in studying human actions and behavior. Three major foci are addressed in this discussion. The first is to explore moral questions geographers might address when looking at cultural behavior, economic development, social policies, allocation of resources, environmental understanding and interpretation of places and landscapes. The second focus is on mapping moralities, including examples of maps that display visible and invisible geographies about moral places and spaces. The third discusses how this moral thread is worthy of further study in many fields of human and human/environmental geography. A greater understanding these threads will strengthen our understanding and appreciation of “why things are the way they are” but also “why we make decisions that we do” at local and global scales.

Abstract:

The ethical ‘eye’ of nursing, that is, the particular moral vision and values inherent in nursing work, is constrained by the preoccupations and practices of the superordinate biomedical structure in which nursing as a practice discipline is embedded. The intimate, situated knowledge of particular persons who construct and attach meaning to their health experience in the presence of and with the active participation of the nurse, is the knowledge that provides the evidence for nurses’ ethical decision making. It is largely invisible to all but other nurses. Two nurse researchers, Joan Liaschenko of the University of Minnesota and Patricia Rodney of the University of Victoria, have investigated the ethical concerns of practising nurses and noted in their separate enquiries the invisible nature of critical aspects of nursing work. Noting the similarities in their respective observations, and with the feminist ethics of Margaret Urban Walker as a theoretical framework, this article examines the concept of ‘invisibility’ as it relates to nursing work and nursing ethics.

Abstract:

Today, the main two security issues for deep learning are data poisoning and adversarial examples. Data poisoning consists of perverting a learning system by manipulating a small subset of the training data, while adversarial examples entail bypassing the system at testing time with low-amplitude manipulation of the testing sample. Unfortunately, data poisoning that is invisible to human eyes can be generated by adding adversarial noise to the training data. The main contribution of this paper includes a successful implementation of such invisible data poisoning using image classification datasets for a deep learning pipeline. This implementation leads to significant classification accuracy gaps.

Abstract:

The economy is inevitably linked to culture and history. Culture extends to traditions, history and social heritage. Taking culture into account as a significant variable in economic development is indeed a debate of particular importance within economics. Broadening the study of development factors is a perspective that aims to integrate cultural factors into economic development models. This work presents culture and heritage both as an economic input and a tool for attractiveness and influence. This makes it possible to put into practice the interactions that exist between cultural aspects and economic factors. The objective of the article is to reflect on the importance and the way of integrating the cultural aspects that promote economic development and which constitute a decisive element in any design of development model. This consists of questioning first the role of cultural factors in social progress, then their coexistence with economic rationality and their place in economic policy as invisible factors of development.

Abstract:

Background: Healthcare has traditionally been dominated by norms making the sexual orientation of clients invisible. Aim: To explore processes counteracting or promoting invisibility. Method: A single case study based on notes from psychotherapy and a research interview. Results: The client's story can be understood in terms of pathology but also in terms of finding her lesbian lifestyle. A special focus is required for transcending heterosexuality and for realizing the meaning of being a lesbian in everyday life. Conclusion: In conducting inquiries, practitioners need to be aware of how their own norms take heteronormativity for granted. This aids recognition of the important need for gay and lesbian clients to tell their personal stories.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractAlthough considerable attention has been devoted to the concepts of “visible” and “invisible” victims in general medical practice, especially in relation to resource allocation, far less consideration has been devoted to these concepts in behavioral health. Distinctive features of mental health care in the United States help explain this gap. This essay explores three specific ways in which the American mental health care system protects potentially “visible” individuals at the expense of “invisible victims” and otherwise fails to meet the needs of great numbers of people with serious psychiatric conditions: prioritization of the wrong patients, incentivization of excessive caution among providers, and a narrow definition of psychiatry's purview. While each of these practices has been discussed elsewhere in the literature, they are rarely considered as part of an interrelated and systemic problem. Reconceptualizing these three issues as aspects of the larger conflict between the interests of “visible” and “invisible” victims may prove a path toward reform.

Choreographers regularly make revisions to their work. Revisions that are made are sometimes significant and can radically alter the dance whilst other changes may be almost invisible to the viewer. In the case of Siobhan Davies, revising dances has become a regular feature of her work. This paper represents a case study, which is designed to shed some further light on this process.

Abstract:

The paper explores theoretical and methodological direction in the research of the literary estate and dacha of the 20–21 centuries and examines one of the issues of their scientific thesaurus — the ratio of the categories “estate text” and “estate overtext”. The definition of the “estate text”, introduced into scientific circulation by V. G. Shchukin in the 1990s, is considered by analogy with the “Petersburg text” by V. N. Toporov, which is based on the text-forming myth about Peter I and St. Petersburg. Despite of the V. G. Shchukin's statement about the obligatory presence of the elegiac-idyllic myth of the “noble nest” in the basis of the “estate text” of Russian literature, in the scientific literary practice of the turn of the 21th century, all works developing an estate theme, without exception, including those opposing the myth began to be interpreted as an “estate text”. Soon the concept of “estate overtext” was introduced, combining topics and mythopoetics into a single series of works about the estate of the 18–21 centuries. The actual synonymy of the terms “estate text” and “estate overtext” generated the question of the redundancy of the latter. However, the study suggests to preserve this term by filling it with semantics relevant to the new quality of the “estate” literature of the 20 and the beginning of the 21th century, referring either to a reformatted in new socio-cultural conditions, or to an absent estate. The categories of “estate habitus”, “estateness” and “crypto-estate mythology” become the tools for analyzing of the “estate overtext” in its new understanding.
