Islam, AKM Monwarul, M. Ullah, US Khan e AAS Majumder. "Reuse of Cardiac Rhythm Control Devices: A Review". Cardiovascular Journal 6, n. 1 (7 agosto 2013): 52–59. http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cardio.v6i1.16116.
Abstract (sommario):
Cardiac rhythm control devices i.e. pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and biventricular pacemakers are at times lifesaving treatment and prevention of arrhythmia. But, despite definite indications, many people in the developing countries cannot afford these devices due to high cost, and succumb to premature death. On the other hand, after implantation, pacemakers and ICDs are sometimes underutilized because of premature explantation due to death of the recipient, device infection, or upgradation, leaving a considerable extent of serviceable battery life unused. Majority of these explanted devices are simply thrown away. Though made for single use, a growing body of evidence indicates the safety, efficacy and feasibility of reimplantation of the prematurely explanted devices in patient in need who is otherwise unable to afford a new one. Patients, physicians, morticians, and even the general public support the idea of device donation and recycling. A number of organizations around the world have engaged themselves in this benevolent effort, and t he feasibility of device reutilization programme has already been established. However, some logistic, legal and ethical concerns are yet to be solved. The statutory bodies and professional organizations should address the issue of device recycling to solve the unsolved issues and formulate standard practice guidelines. In that case, such medical wastes may turn into invaluable resources, and help ensuring equitable medical care throughout the world.

Ottenheijm, Eric. "The Shared Meal—a Therapeutical Device The Function and Meaning of Hos 6:6 in Matt 9:10-13". Novum Testamentum 53, n. 1 (2011): 1–21. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/156853610x493009.
Abstract (sommario):
AbstractIn Matt 9:10-13, the disciples of Jesus are asked why their master eats with tax-collectors and sinners. Both the question and the threefold answer are analysed in this study. Wisdom traditions prescribe Torah teachers not to engage with blatant sinners. This approach becomes contested in the first century C.E., as is clear from Pharisaic disputes on sinners and tax-collectors. In his answer, Jesus characterises himself as the divine doctor, who stirs the capacity to repentance by his sheer presence. The quote of Hosea functions as a legal justification of this strategy. Hos 6:6 points to the concept of good works, benevolent actions that save even blatant sinners.

Abstract (sommario):
The article considers stylistic means in political discourse on the examples of modern and past Ukrainian and foreign politicians’ speeches. The topicality of the research is defined by social significance of political discourse in the life of the community. The term “political discourse” is determined as coherent oral or written text, expressed through both verbal and nonverbal means, which directly depends on the situation of political communication in combination with pragmatic, socio-cultural, psychological and other factors. A “figure of speech” (also called “stylistic device” or “rhetorical device”) is commented on as a modification of the usual or expected sequence of words, grammatical structure of the text, the use of any of a variety of techniques to produce an auxiliary meaning, idea, or feeling. The definitions and examples of “metaphors” (especially those related to war, sports, family, and nature), “personification”, “repetition”, “simile”, “allusion”, “synechdoche”, “hyperbole”, “emotive language”, “balance”, “inverted phrases”, “rhetorical figures” (rhetorical appeals, questions, assumptions, exclamations, statements), “gradation”, “ invective” and “poetic devices” (irony as one of the ways of comic perception of reality, which contains a hidden mockery of facts or people; satire as sharp, sensitive ridicule of vices, errors, negative phenomena of reality, a sharp, scathing mockery; sarcasm as malicious, scathing mockery, caustic irony; humour as benevolent laughter, aimed at exposing certain defects of human character or inconsistencies in people’s lives, in their behaviour; word game as a means of artistic expression that functions in language as a joke, created on the basis of polysemy, homonymy and similar sounding words) are given in the context of political discourse. “Sustained (prolonged) metaphor” is enlarged on with relation to the problem researched. Factors influencing the choice of political discourse strategies and tactics are commented on, namely – a personality of a politician and their function in the political system and the addressee of communication.

Edelson, Steven A. "Promethean Business: From Financial Hedonism to Financial Eudaimonia". Journal of Management Inquiry 28, n. 4 (31 agosto 2017): 420–25. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1056492617725201.
Abstract (sommario):
The story of Prometheus and Pandora serves as an apt analogical device through which to demonstrate the impact that publicly traded corporations, and the shareholder primacy approach to corporate governance has created unintended consequences. Prometheus’s benevolent gift of fire led to the collateral damage of Pandora’s Box unleashing ills on mankind. Similarly, incorporation was a positive development that supported businesses lasting beyond one generation of owners, and led to businesses thriving and creating innovations that improve our lives. However, with these innovations and the related consumption has come a figurative Pandora’s Box of ills to society, including but not limited to widening income inequality, greater personal debt, and environmental degradation. In this critical essay, Greek mythology and classical philosophical approaches to happiness are intertwined with corporate approaches to stakeholder and shareholder optimization.

Gallagher, Noelle. "Cancer and the emotions in 18th-century literature". Medical Humanities 46, n. 3 (6 novembre 2019): 257–66. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/medhum-2018-011639.
Abstract (sommario):
This essay argues that the emotional rhetoric of today’s breast cancer discourse—with its emphasis on stoicism and ‘positive thinking’ in the cancer patient, and its use of sympathetic feeling to encourage charitable giving—has its roots in the long 18th century. While cancer had long been connected with the emotions, 18th-century literature saw it associated with both ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ feelings, and metaphors describing jealousy, love and other sentiments as ‘like a cancer’ were used to highlight the danger of allowing feelings—even benevolent or pleasurable feelings—to flourish unchecked. As the century wore on, breast cancer in particular became an important literary device for exploring the dangers of feeling in women, with writers of both moralising treatises and sentimental novels connecting the growth or development of cancer with the indulgence of feeling, and portraying emotional self-control as the only possible form of resistance against the disease. If, as Barbara Ehrenreich suggests, today’s discourse of ‘positive thinking’ has been mobilised to make patients with breast cancer more accepting of their diagnosis and more cooperative with punitive treatment regimens, then 18th-century fictional exhortations to stay cheerful served similarly conservative political and economic purposes, encouraging continued female submission to male prerogatives inside and outside the household.

Rambabu, Kalathiripi, e N. Venkatram. "Traffic flow features as metrics (TFFM): detection of application layer level DDOS attack scope of IOT traffic flows". International Journal of Engineering & Technology 7, n. 2.7 (18 marzo 2018): 203. http://dx.doi.org/10.14419/ijet.v7i2.7.10293.
Abstract (sommario):
The phenomenal and continuous growth of diversified IOT (Internet of Things) dependent networks has open for security and connectivity challenges. This is due to the nature of IOT devices, loosely coupled behavior of internetworking, and heterogenic structure of the networks. These factors are highly vulnerable to traffic flow based DDOS (distributed-denial of services) attacks. The botnets such as “mirae” noticed in recent past exploits the IoT devises and tune them to flood the traffic flow such that the target network exhaust to response to benevolent requests. Hence the contribution of this manuscript proposed a novel learning-based model that learns from the traffic flow features defined to distinguish the DDOS attack prone traffic flows and benevolent traffic flows. The performance analysis was done empirically by using the synthesized traffic flows that are high in volume and source of attacks. The values obtained for statistical metrics are evincing the significance and robustness of the proposed model

Gratton, Brian. "“A Triumph in Modern Philanthropy”: Age Criteria in Labor Management at the Pennsylvania Railroad, 1875–1930". Business History Review 64, n. 4 (1990): 630–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3115501.
Abstract (sommario):
Labor policies based on age have been variously explained as benevolent, maliciously anti-union, rational, or prejudicial. Nineteenth-century devices to stabilize the work force set the stage for the Pennsylvania Railroad's 1900 program of age limits, mandatory retirement, and pensions, but its immediate cause was the conviction that the seniority system already in place seriously reduced the efficiency of older workers. As the following article shows, this economic calculation remained appealing to some executives in the twentieth century, even as the actual costs of pensions became painfully apparent. For others, the old fear of workers' unrest reappeared as a justification for ignoring the impending crisis of the 1930s.

Hjorth, Larissa, e Deborah Lupton. "Digitised caring intimacies: More-than-human intergenerational care in Japan". International Journal of Cultural Studies 24, n. 4 (14 giugno 2021): 584–602. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1367877920927427.
Abstract (sommario):
Popular media and policy discussions of digital health for supporting older people in the ‘super-aged’ context of Japan often focus on novel technologies in development, such as service robots, AI devices or automated vehicles. Very little research exists on how Japanese people are engaging with these technologies for self-care or the care of others. In this article, we draw on our ethnographic research with Japanese families engaging in digitised self-care and intergenerational care to show how more mundane and well-established digital media and devices – such as the LINE message app, digital games and self-tracking apps – are contributing to digital kinship, mediated co-presences and care relations. We argue that these practices involve enactments of care that are benevolent and intimate forms of datafication and dataveillance that have emerged in response to the recent disruption of traditional face-to-face forms of health care and family relationships in Japan.

Abstract (sommario):
The liberal approach to international regimes is attractive in the development of that concept because it deploys a well-developed and rigorous set of analytic devices in the form of rational actor models. However, it also assumes that regimes are benevolent, voluntary, cooperative, and legitimate associations of actors, which unnecessarily limits theregime concept and encourages an ideological and apologetic position with respect to regimes. Following a critique of the liberal approach, this article suggests an alternative based on a fundamental assumption of contestability in regimes. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault which culminates in the concept of “power/knowledge,” it regards international regimes as attempts to define, order, and act within international public spaces. It also regards international regimes as loci and foci of struggle. Some aspects of this conceptualization are sketched in preliminary form, and a brief illustration in the area of nuclear nonproliferation is provided.

Peneau, Justine. "Dynamique dispositive et structure temporelle de la co-conception : une analyse du travail de design en agence". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Institut polytechnique de Paris, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023IPPAT002.
Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse prend place au sein d'une agence digitale qui met en œuvre des méthodes de design qui permettent d'impliquer ses client.e.s dans la conception. Ce terrain me permet d'observer des situations de co-conception qui rassemblent une agence et une organisation cliente, situations peu étudiées dans la littérature. Notre immersion et notre engagement en tant que designeure nous a permis de faire l'expérience des temporalités du travail en agence et de revenir en particulier sur ce que le vocabulaire et les méthodes dites de “sprint” supposent de rapport au temps dans la conception. C'est une thèse pluridisciplinaire qui réunit les sciences de l'information et de la communication et du design. Elles permettent d'analyser ensemble les situations de communication et de design ainsi que les supports qui les soutiennent.Il nous a ainsi paru important de comprendre la situation de co-conception moins à travers le concept d'espace (qui a tendance à prédominer) qu'à travers celui du temps.Notre hypothèse est que l'on peut considérer l'activité de design comme l'organisation de formats temporels qui ont des effets sur la participation mais aussi qui présupposent des modèles de la conception. La thèse porte attention aux dynamiques d'émergence. Ces dernières font intervenir un autre rapport au temps fondé sur des inter-relations en mouvement. Cette hypothèse nous a ainsi plus particulièrement conduit à étudier la méthode du “sprint” comme un format temporel mais également à être attentive à ce qui émerge au cœur de ces situations “formatées” et à la façon dont l'expertise du design noue et dénoue des temporalités. Nous observons finalement que la situation de design ouvre un espace transitionnel, un “dispositif bienveillant”, où le temps est “dynamiquement suspendu” pour justement permettre de tisser des liens entre la pluralité des temporalités qui traverse le projet entre passé, présent et futurThis thesis takes place within a digital agency that implements design methods that allow its clients to be involved in the design. This field allows me to observe co-design situations that bring together an agency and a client organization, situations that have been little studied in the literature. Our immersion and our commitment as a designer allowed us to experience the temporalities of agency work and to come back in particular to what the vocabulary and the so-called “sprint” methods imply in relation to time in design. It is a multidisciplinary thesis that brings together the sciences of information and communication and design. They make it possible to jointly analyze communication and design situations as well as the supports that support them.It therefore seemed important to us to understand the co-design situation less through the concept of space (which tends to predominate) than through that of time.Our hypothesis is that we can consider the activity of design as the organization of temporal formats which have effects on participation but also which presuppose models of design. The thesis pays attention to the dynamics of emergence. These latter involve another relationship to time based on moving inter-relations. This hypothesis thus more particularly led us to study the “sprint” method as a temporal format but also to be attentive to what emerges at the heart of these “formatted” situations and to the way in which design expertise ties and unties temporalities. Finally, we observe that the design situation opens up a transitional space, a “benevolent device”, where time is “dynamically suspended” precisely to allow links to be forged between the plurality of temporalities that crosses the project between past, present and future

Clement-Pessiani, Céline. "Derrière chaque (grand) homme, il y a une femme...qui accepte de rester derrière : comprendre l'acceptation du sexisme bienveillant par les femmes et son adoption par les hommes : l'approche des rôles de sexe". Thesis, Paris 10, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA100189/document.
Abstract (sommario):
Cette recherche articule les concepts de sexisme bienveillant et de rôle de sexe pour tenter d’expliquer pourquoi les hommes se montrent sexistes bienveillants envers les femmes et surtout pourquoi les femmes l’approuvent. Nous poursuivrons trois objectifs principaux. Dans la première partie de ce travail, nous ferons l’hypothèse que le sexisme bienveillant est en fait une composante du rôle de sexe des femmes et des hommes, avec des attentes différentes selon le sexe. La deuxième partie sera centrée sur les femmes. D’après la littérature, le sexisme bienveillant a des conséquences négatives pour elles. Nous chercherons à savoir si les femmes peuvent simplement le rejeter sans être jugées négativement. Nous postulerons que l'attitude d’une femme quant au sexisme bienveillant détermine si elle sera acceptée ou rejetée. Si elle ne l’approuve pas, alors elle perdra en féminité perçue parce qu’elle déviera de son rôle. Puis, nous établirons que réaffirmer son adhésion à son rôle de sexe lui permettra de rejeter le sexisme bienveillant sans être perçue comme déviante. Enfin, nous nous tournerons vers les hommes. Nous identifierons les circonstances dans lesquelles les femmes peuvent préférer les hommes anti-sexisme bienveillant et où les hommes perçoivent le sexisme bienveillant comme un désavantage. Neuf expériences réalisées sur un total de 684 personnes viendront valider ces hypothèses. Cette thèse propose une explication à l’acceptation et l’expression des attitudes et comportements de sexisme bienveillant observés dans la littérature et attire l'attention sur la difficulté pour les femmes de repousser cette forme spécifique de sexismeThis research connects the concepts of benevolent sexism and sex roles to try to explain why men are benevolent sexists towards women and most importantly why women approve it. We will pursue three main goals. In the first part of this work, we will hypothesize that benevolent sexism is in fact a component of women’s and men’s sex role, with different expectations depending on one’s sex. The second part will be centered on women. According to the literature, benevolent sexism has negative consequences on them. We will seek to know if women can simply reject it without being judged negatively. We will hypothesize that a woman’s attitude regarding benevolent sexism determines whether she is accepted or rejected. If she does not approve of it, then she will be perceived as less feminine because she will be deviating from her role. Then, we will show that reaffirming her adhesion to her sex role will allow her to reject benevolent sexism without being perceived as a deviant. Lastly, we will turn to men. We will identify the circumstances in which women can prefer men rejecting benevolent sexism and where men perceive benevolent sexism as a disadvantage. Nine experiments made on a total of 684 people will confirm these hypothesizes. This thesis offers an explanation to the acceptance and the expression of benevolent sexist attitudes and behaviors observed in the literature and attracts reader’s attention to how difficult it is for women to reject this specific form of sexism

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter addresses animation’s fascination with strange inventions, modern marvels, and their inventors. It organizes these depictions by linking them to two pre-war developments: Hugo Gernsback’s efforts at promoting the serious and practical side of science and technology, and Rube Goldberg’s satiric and cautionary vision of a modern technological society, usually offered in newspaper cartoon form. The chapter gives special attention to the various World’s Fairs and other exhibitions that were popular in the period and that were the frequent subjects of cartoons, especially by the Fleischers’ studio. In these and other films, we find both marvelous creations, catering to SF’s usual sense of wonder, and overly complicated, even dangerous inventions that comically victimize their users. This dual pattern is repeated in depictions of the scientists and inventors behind these devices, as they range from benevolent figures to the stereotypical “mad scientist.”

Abel, Ernest L. Death Gods. Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400638282.
Abstract (sommario):
In cultures throughout human history people have believed that some part of themselves continued to exist after they died. Part of that belief is that living can influence what happens to the dead in the afterlife, and the dead can return from the afterlife to affect the living. Death Gods: An Encyclopedia of the Rulers, Evil Spirits, and Geographies of the Dead describes the many ways the afterlife—especially that part of the afterlife commonly known as Hell—has been characterized in myths from around the world. The hundreds of entries provide readers with a guide to the afterlife as portrayed in these myths - its geography, its rulers, its inhabitants, how they got there, and what happens after their arrival. While the Devil is a prominent resident and ruler of the afterworld in many religions, especially Christianity, this book examines many other versions of Hell whether presided over by the Devil, Hades, or one of the many other rulers of the dead. Death Gods provides concise encyclopedic entries on all aspects of the mythology of the afterlife: The underworlds form the myths of cultures from across the globe—for example, Xibalba, the underworld of the Quiche Maya; Di Yu, the underground realm of the dead in Chinese mythology; the gods and demons of the afterlife—the Hindu god of death and justice Yama; Ahriman, the evil twin of the benevolent god Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrian mythology; Buso, the invisible ghouls who haunt graveyards and feed on human corpses in Philippine mythology. The volume includes an extensive bibliography of the most useful resources for understanding the mythology of death and the afterlife.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter examines the juxtaposition of cannibalism and sexual appetites in Maryse Condé's Histoire de la femme cannibale (hereinafter referred to as Story, reflecting the 2007 English translation) and Andrea Levy's Small Island (2004). It argues that while the ideologically fraught figure of the cannibal has long offered a fertile ground on which to construct a counter-hegemonic aesthetic of Caribbean discourses, few if any writers explore the equation between two major constructs—the sexual and alimentary transgressions—that define the cannibal. Story and Small Island evidence that (post)imperial panics have consistently framed a range of (post)colonial conflicts in the vocabulary of alimentary and sexual deviance as a ploy to mask these very same appetites in the (neo)imperial venture. In Small Island, cannibalism is a hidden theme that lurks beneath the surface of seemingly mundane and insignificant moments of encounter. In Story, Condé deconstructs the presumed benevolence of France toward Guadeloupe through an astute critique of the dominant imagery of France as mother who nurtures and sustains her children.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract The soothsayer’s comment on the final reconciliation in Cymbeline comes after the descent of Jupiter in the vision scene; like so many of the climactic moments in Shakespeare’s late plays, it is shaped by the court masque. This is not simply a matter of borrowing clearly recognizable elements from masque devices, but a way of using these features to allude to the ethos of the masque-an assertion that just, benevolent, and cohesive human government participates in a much larger order. The image of such government as divinely inspired music permeates masque texts in the Jacobean and Caroline period and it endows the music heard in those entertainments with an immediate and vital significance.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter focuses on the Anglo-American planning devised between Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American President Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt hardly wanted Britain to be overrun by the Nazis, and so Britain received as much aid as the President deemed was within the limits of what public opinion would bear. However, this did not amount to much for Britain. The chapter explains how the discussions resulted in the recognition of Germany as a major foe and the establishment of military missions in both countries. It clarifies that a coherent Anglo-American strategy was impossible if the United States remained as a benevolent neutral.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter discusses the possible proposal of implementing an investor–state mediation mechanism in China’s next generation IIAs, especially for disputes where the Chinese state will be acting as the Respondent. It first discussed the rise of mediation in international commercial and business dispute settings and mediation’s potential applications in resolving investor–state claims. It then discussed the background of recent rise of ADR in China and why that might lead to the adoption of an investor–state mechanism in the country’s future BITs, and how such a mechanism shall be devised. At the end, it wrapped up the discussion by arguing that rather than returning to political means of settling investor–state disputes, the recent rise of interest-based investor–state mediation indicates the benevolent interaction between parties as they become more experienced with investment treaty claims.

Abstract Methinks it is with great Impropriety that People, when they see an unsocial Person, cry out, How ill-natured such a one is!—Nature in itself delights in Harmony, is loving, grateful, benevolent, pleased in itself, and pleased to see others so.—Everyone is born with Qualities suited to Society; and when they deviate, it is not the Effect of Nature, but of the Influence of those vicious Passions which by their ill Conditions corrupt Nature, and render it no longer what it was: Avarice, Ambition, Rage, Envy, and Jealousy are the Weeds that grow up in the Soul; and, if indulged, will by degrees choak all the nobler Principles.—How beautiful is Nature in Infancy, before those turbulent Passions gather Strength! and how beautiful would she also be in Maturity, could those Passions be always under the Government of Reason!

Abstract (sommario):
Social media is a pervasive platform, and consumers increasingly want to connect with it. The growth of mobile devices has increased connectivity to social media, but accessing social media platforms has uncovered interesting results with gender differences between males and females. Trust models have evolved to take account of website interactivity, website environment design, and brand effect on brand trust. Themes on ability, benevolence, integrity, and predictability are also influencers on brand trust. Increasing access to social media is changing attitudes and behaviour to challenge established social and behavioural norms. Brands in the online and offline environments are exposed to risks, but the sheer level of interactivity and connectedness of social media increases the consequence of negative responses. However, the use of brand communities could be a way forward to negate the risk of brand contamination.

Abstract (sommario):
Sati in British India came to simultaneously refer to the widow-burning rite as well as to the self-immolating widow. With growing imperialist interests in the Empire in India, the British administration detected in the sati issue a powerful opportunity to promote the image of a progressive, reform-minded, benevolent Raj. An endeavour to know how Indian women themselves portray sati in their writings is of unfailing interest. Caught between the loud crossfire of the two warring camps of pro- and anti-Sati campaigns, the Indian woman—both the subject and the object of the entire sati discourse—hardly gets a chance to claim for herself the attention of a perceptive audience. The silence of the sati victim is, of course, nearly insurmountable and only a voice, seeped through another agency, reaches us. This chapter concentrates on three such mediated voices (Cornelia Sorabji, Snehalata Sen, and Sita Devi) as presented in their fiction.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract In the Roman world various devices were employed to perpetuate the memory of the dead. The eulogy recited in the presence of mourners at the funeral served as one of the mnemonic aids used to recall actions and achievements of individuals and families, and memory was stimulated visually by the fashioning of portraits and statues of the deceased in various materials. Public philanthropy and munficence towards various communities, in addition, could ensure the remembrance and posthumous prestige of the dead in that the names of such benefactors were eternalized in inscriptions on buildings and honorific statues. But the vast number of sepulchral monuments bearing inscriptions relating to the life and death of individuals testifies best to the importance Romans throughout the empire attached to being remembered and revered. Choosing a prominent position and a public space for a funerary monument was an effective way of ensuring visibility and continued attention after death. Those with foresight, and with the financial means at their disposal, selected a monument and an epitaph before they died, or left testamentary specifications for their commemoration. For those of humble means, and perhaps no close family to bury them, burial clubs were established as benevolent societies from the legacies of wealthy patrons or from the contributions of the members of such societies.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This essay offers an ideology critique of international legal universalism (ILU). The concept of ideology, for the present purposes, is understood as a body of discourse and rhetoric that produces distinct political effects, such as legitimation, motivation, and normalization. The particular political effects that are produced by ILU ideology range from the inflation of international legal scholars’ collective self-image as a uniquely skilled expert community, to the entrenchment, within the broader disciplinary consciousness, of a quasi-messianic belief in international law as an unreservedly benevolent mechanism of global social engineering. The consequences of this include a culture of false necessity and disciplinary whitewashing and a tradition of professional self-aggrandizement whereby the profession comes to appoint itself as humanity’s singularly enlightened guardian and the articulator of ‘true universal values’. Drawing on the traditions of critical narratology and legal realist analysis, this chapter aims to identify and uncover the exact narrative structures, theoretical devices, and rhetorical mechanisms by means of which this ideological dynamic is put in place. The core discursive foundation that underpins the ILU discourse, it concludes, consists of a combination of deliberate conceptual black-boxing that enables the ILU discourse to encode the language of universality with several different, not immediately reconcilable, meanings; a pattern of resulting three-way conceptual slippage; and the consistent but never acknowledged infusion of a strongly Hegelianized understanding of international law’s history and political ontology.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter focuses on literary and cultural works dealing with Scotland's attempt to colonize Darien, at the Isthmus of Panama, in the 1690s. It establishes Darien as a central trope in Scottish literature by analyzing works from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, including novels, poetry, drama, songs, and political treatises by William Paterson, William Burnaby, Eliot Warburton, Douglas Galbraith, David Nicol, Alistair Beaton, and anonymous female authors. It illustrates how these depictions interact with other political and ideological trajectories in Scotland and the UK, including Jacobitism, Anglo-Scottish relations, and revisionist historical writing. The chapter establishes images of Darien gold and material possession as central structuring devices of Scottish colonial literature, which stand in conflict with depictions of Scotland's alleged kindness towards the indigenous populations of Panama. The chapter argues that narratives of benevolence together with narratives of gold and material possessions turn the colonial utopian tradition into a full-fledged myth of the Scottish Atlantic by the end of the seventeenth century. The mythologization of the colonial sphere together with the mythologization of the Scottish settlers functions as an aesthetic instrument to enter the competition over power in the late-seventeenth-century Atlantic.

Abstract (sommario):
A legislação define a família como responsável pela doação de órgãos e tecidos humanos, para fins terapêuticos ou de estudo e constitui um grande desafio no Brasil. Objetivos: Analisar e reunir a visão de diversas correntes religiosas e filosóficas sobre a doação, para compreender a possível influência na decisão de doar. Metodologia: Após revisão de literatura, que incluiu trabalhos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, entrevistas com líderes religiosos e representantes das diversas culturas foram realizadas. As entrevistas foram gravadas e disponibilizadas de forma gratuita nas redes sociais. Resultados e Discussão: O levantamento bibliográfico totalizou 92 estudos nas seguintes bases de dados: Lilacs/BIREME/BVS (41), Scielo (26), PubMed (4), Mendeley (21). Participaram das entrevistas representantes das seguintes religiões: católica, evangélica, pentecostal, espírita, umbanda, candomblé, judaica, budista, islâmica, fé bahá'í, e movimento hare krishna; além de um representante do ateísmo. Algumas crenças apresentam uma ressalva à doação sob a justificativa de que o corpo humano pertence à entidade criadora e deve completar o ciclo da vida retornando à terra (inumação). No entanto, os próprios entrevistados relatam que a solidariedade é justificada quando existe a possibilidade de preservar uma vida. A doação representa um ato altruísta relacionado à uma escolha individual. Conclusão: De modo geral, as religiões são favoráveis à doação, tratando-a com uma atitude benevolente e que pode salvar vidas. Tem como efeitos diretos a capacitação dos profissionais da saúde, promovendo a melhoria dos atendimentos da saúde.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) with highly integrated functions of sensing, actuation, computation, and communication are becoming the mainstream consumer and commercial products. The performance of CPSS heavily relies on the information sharing between devices. Given the extensive data collection and sharing, security and privacy are of major concerns. Thus one major challenge of designing those CPSS is how to incorporate the perception of trust in product and systems design. Recently a trust quantification method was proposed to measure trustworthiness of CPSS by quantitative metrics of ability, benevolence, and integrity. In this paper, the applications of ability and benevolence metrics in design optimization of CPSS architecture are demonstrated. A Bayesian optimization method is developed to perform trust based CPSS network design, where the most trustworthy network with respect to a reference node can be selected to collaborate and share information with.
