Longing for my Desirable Self: A Thematic Analysis of Individuals' Narratives of their Breakups

Aim: Romantic breakup has temporary and lasting effects on individual's psychological health. The aim of this study was to investigate the identity narrative of people with breakups.
 Methods: Using purposive sampling method, 15 participants with breakup who met the inclusion criteria were selected. Their stories were collected using a modified form of "relationship narrative interview." Then, data were analyzed with thematic analysis method (Clark and Brown, 2015). After determining the sub-themes and main themes, a conceptual model of participant's narrative was presented.
 Findings: Sixty-three sub-themes and 13 themes were formed during the analysis. The results show that participants tend to narrate the past as failure, the present as suspension, and the future as despair. The concept of the desirable self was hidden in their narratives, the desirable self that the individual had experienced or was in search of in that particular relationship.
 Conclusion: Based on the results, it seems that people with romantic breakup who are experiencing a state of interruption in their transition, have a kind of rupture in their identity narrative that they feel they cannot repair. The results of this study can be effective in better understanding their identity narrative and possibly creating a psychological intervention for this situation.

Digital territory, digital flesh

Western Indigenous cultures have been colonized, dehumanized and silenced. As AI grows and learns from colonial pre-existing biases, it also reinforces the notion that Natives no longer are but were. And since machine learning requires the input of categorical data, from which AI develops knowledge and understanding, compartmentalization is a natural behavior AI undertakes. As AI classifies Indigenous communities into a marginalized and historicized digital data set, the asterisk, the code, we fall into a cultural trap of recolonization. This necessitates an interference. A non-violent break. A different kind of rupture. One which fractures colonization and codification and opens a space for colonial recovery and survival. If we have not yetcontemporized the colonized Western Indigenous experience, how can we utilize tools of artificial intelligence such as the interface and digitality to create a space that de-codes colonial corporeality resulting in a sense of boundlessness, contemporization and survival?

Netobulas totalumas: kelios pastabos apie erdvinius kompozitus ir kino propagandą

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba]&#x0D; Straipsnyje nagrinėjami pokario kino propagandos tekstai – trys filmai, 1947 m. sukurti Lietuvai, Latvijai ir Estijai kaip šių šalių politinės žiūros ir prieinamų subjekto pozicijų „treniravimo“ įrankis. Pagrindinis klausimas – kiek totalūs, rišlūs yra minėti filmai ir ką reiškia jų kuriamo tolydumo pertrūkiai naratyvinio kino ideologijos kontekste? Atsispiriant nuo Michelio Foucault aptariamos diskurso amplitudės, straipsnyje analizuojami erdviniai kompozitai – montažo figūros, konstruojančios naratyvinį tolydumą ardančias erdves. Paprastai jos laikomos kritinio santykio su dominuojančiu diskursu resursu, tačiau sovietinės ideologijos formavimosi laikotarpio (porevoliucinio Rusijoje ir pokario Baltijos šalyse) medžiaga rodo, kad kai kompozitines erdves gamina hegemonijos centras, jos arba brėžia šios utopinį matmenį, arba žymi negrėsmingą besisteigiančios hegemonijos neišbaigtumą.

Posthumous HIV Disclosure and Relational Rupture

In response to Anne L. Dalle Ave and David M. Shaw, we agree with their general argument but emphasize a moral risk of HIV disclosure in deceased donation cases: the risk of relational rupture. Because of the importance that close relationships have to our sense of self and our life plans, this kind of rupture can have long-ranging implications for surviving loved ones. Moreover, the now-deceased individual cannot participate in any relational mending. Our analysis reveals the hefty moral costs that disclosure can bring, which should influence what information is given to would-be donors and how organ procurement coordinators approach these conversations.

Rupturas y continuidades de los roles de género en contextos migratorios transnacionales. Relatos sobre sexualidad y salud reproductiva de los hijos e hijas de la inmigración ecuatoriana en Cataluña

In this article, we present some results about what kinds of ruptures and continuities present the roles and gender relations of boys and girls Ecuadorian regrouped in Catalonia. First, we conducted a brief tour of the dominant theoretical approaches in the Spanish academic debate on the sons and daughters of migration. Second, from his speeches analyzed whether their narratives and social, emotional and sexual practices are not or not the ideals of their mothers and their fathers. Finally, we reflect on a generational and intergenerational dialogue if gender roles among Ecuadorian adolescents and have varied in this transnational migration context.

Introduction: Disasters as Politics – Politics as Disasters

What is the relationship between politics and disasters and how does this relate to the recent boom in disaster studies? The introduction to this volume argues that the recent interest in disasters is not because there are more disasters, but because of two recent developments within the social sciences: first, a focus on rupture rather than on continuity and second, a focus on materiality. Disasters are the intersection of these changes. Disasters are ruptures of society and thus inherently political. They provide a particular kind of rupture, one which does not simply affect values and norms, but the material backup of society and its material infrastructure. From this starting point, the article discusses two movements of how to relate disasters and politics: disasters as producing politics and politics as producing disasters. The former begins with disasters and considers how they acquire the power to recompose the world. Disasters from this point of view not only produce politics, but a particular kind of (cosmo-)politics that deals with how humans relate to technology and nature. The latter begins with politics and considers how politics produces disasters. Here, as for example in preparedness, risk assessment and state of exception, politics is the productive force and disasters become means to legitimate, produce and arrive at certain politics.

Can we predict the clinical outcomes of genitourinary trauma patients and offer them an evidence-based support? The case for telemedicine network

Dear Editor,We appreciated the letter to editor [1] regarding ourrecent article in the WJU and would like to elucidate someimportant points:1. The fact that our study shows an unusually highpercentage of patients with intraperitoneal lesions orperforating trauma mostly due to gunshot wounds [2]is related to its design as stated in the methods anddiscussion sections, respectively: ‘‘The inclusion cri-teria were patients experiencing laparotomy for traumaand bladder injury AAST-OIS grade C II’’/‘‘It shouldbe emphasized that the bladder injuries were deter-mined by findings at exploratory laparotomy fortrauma, being these data an exceptional cross-sectionalview of bladder trauma….’’ So we intentionally missedextra-peritoneal blunt bladder traumas and certainlyunderestimate it to be 4.3 %.2. From a urological standpoint, no predictors of bladder-related complications such as infection, voiding dys-function, urinary fistula, pain, leakage of urine orlength of catheter drainage could be identified in ourseries. Even though a supra-pubic cystostomy catheterwas inserted to protect the repair in eight patients(7.2 %) with complex injuries (three had associatedurethral tears), there was no mortality due to urinarycomplications that were mild and self-resolving with-out sequelae: non-complicated urinary infections werediagnosed in seven patients—6.3 % and transienturinary fistula in two—1.8 %.We agree that our findings are most likely generalizableto all of the 2,575 initially screened trauma patients in thisstudy. And this is in fact the main take-home message ofour hypothesis generating study. In other words, ‘‘associ-ated bladder trauma adds no clinically significant negativeimpact on trauma patients’’.Neither the severity (AAST-OIS grade) of the bladderinjury nor the trauma mechanism (blunt or penetrating) northe kind of rupture (intraperitoneal, extraperitoneal, orassociated) was related to the presence of complications, tothe length of hospital stay or to death. In clinical practice,from the perspective of our study design, the trauma scoresare more important than the mechanism, grade, or kind ofbladder injury. Urological complications in trauma patientsare minor and transient, mainly in the bladder traumacontext.On the other hand, trauma literature has a lot to improvein terms of quality of data available, and evidence-basedtrauma support is desirable. The bulk of literature ontrauma is composed of retrospective studies includingmainly Level III data, suffering from several importantbiases such as selection, measurement, and analytical andalso from known and unknown confounding factors, as isour article [2].To challenge this grim reality that commits the studiesvalidity, we have recently proposed the network ‘‘Evi-dence-based Telemedicine-Trauma and Acute Care Sur-gery’’ (EBT-TACS) Journal Club [3] with the key task ofconnecting strategic trauma centers around the world in‘‘brain storms’’, critically discussing the current literature,

UNIVERSITY WITH CONDITIONS: A DECONSTRUCTIVE READING OF DERRIDA'S “THE UNIVERSITY WITHOUT CONDITION”

abstractThe possibility of a Derridian theory of the university lies not in the discussion of the “as if” in “The University without Condition” but, rather, in a theoretical crack that Derrida's book promised to elucidate—between the “as if” and the “perhaps,” the performative and the event, transcendence and immanence. Moreover, we see a kind of rupture between this book and numerous texts from the 1970s and 80s, which are collected and published under the title of Right to Philosophy. Here lies a real philosophical stake. We see between the early Derrida and the later Derrida not only an ethico‐political turn but also, so to speak, a radical transition from the problematic of institution or case law (jurisprudence) to the axiomatic of law (loi) by aggravation of the transcendental.

Modelling the strength of bonded butt-joints

In this paper it is proposed a simple but consistent framework in which to model the mechanical strength of axially loaded aluminium–epoxy butt-joints. The theory accounts for the influence of the load rate as well as the influence of the thickness of the adhesive layer on the strength of the system. Besides it is conceived to give adequate predictions of the rupture force regardless the previous chemical/mechanical surface treatments applied on the bonding surface of the adherend. The material constants that appear in the model equations are simple to be identified experimentally and the resulting mathematical problem is also very simple. Results from experimental testing of various aluminium–epoxy butt-joints have been obtained and compared with model prediction showing a good correlation regardless the kind of rupture (adhesive, cohesive or mixed mode failure).

Hydrogen transportation systems: Elements of risk analysis

This paper describes the methodology and the results obtained in the framework of the NEEDS (New Energy Externalities Developments for Sustainability) European project, while evaluating externalities due to accidental situations. In particular it focuses on the results obtained from a risk assessment of hydrogen transportation technologies. The quantification of risk as an additional source of externality to the cost of transporting hydrogen was obtained with the support of a commercial numerical simulation software that was specifically designed to deal with hazards in process industry environment. A number of scenarios and site dependencies have been taken into account in order to assess the risk associated with different transportation means, under several accidental conditions (e.g., kind of rupture and weather conditions). Results were compared with social acceptability limits of risk set by some countries.

Investigating the secondary–tertiary transition

The secondary–tertiary transition has been studied in a great amount of research in mathematics education, adopting different focuses and theoretical approaches. I present here how these focuses led the authors to identify and study different students' difficulties and to develop different means of didactical action. Individual, social, but also institutional phenomena are considered with different perspectives. Each perspective yields a particular view of transition. The association and comparison of these views makes it possible to build an organized outline of this complex object, combining several kinds of ruptures and long-term evolutions.

Meniscus injury in osteoarthritis of knee joints: under arthroscopy

To study the occurrence rate of meniscus injury in osteoarthritis (OA) of knee joint and inquire into the significance of meniscus injury in diagnosis and treatment of OA. 125 knees of 120 cases with OA as the first diagnosis were observed when debridement was done under arthroscopy. The occurrence rate of meniscus injury and the relationship between the degree of OA and meniscus injury were analyzed. The curative effect of selective joint space debridement with meniscus fitting and resection was evaluated. Pain was the most common symptom of this group. 32 cases (25.6%) had locked knee but without loose body in the joint according to X ray. 22 joints (17.6%) were diagnosed as OA accompanied by meniscus injury before operation. The average LYSHOLM score was 52. Medial and lateral meniscus injury was observed in 41 joints (32.8%) and 21 joints (16.8%) respectively, 7 of them (5.6%) had injury at both sides. The type of meniscus injury under arthroscopy mainly included wear at different parts (29.0%), brush-like damage at the edge (12.9%), different kinds of rupture (51.6%), and bucket handle tear (1.61%). There was an obvious positive correlation between the degree of meniscus injury and cartilage damage. The coincidence rate of the diagnoses before and after operation was 40.0%. The total satisfactory rate was 89.6%, 86.4%, and 83.2% and the satisfactory rate of those meniscus injury were 94.5%, 91.0%, and 87.3% 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. The average LYSHOLM score was 77, 74, 71 and 85, 82, 79 respectively. A of knee joint is usually accompanied by meniscus injury, and these 2 pathologic changes aggravate each other. In some patients the symptoms and progress of OA may not be ameliorated and the progress of OA may not be postponed if only conservative treatment is adopted.

A Note on the Cover Art: Fathering "Garden"

I want the meaning to be imbedded in the material that I'm using. I choose the material as an extension of the concept or sometimes in opposition to it, to create a contradictory and paradoxical situation of attraction/repulsion, fascination and revulsion. (Mona Hatoum, Interview with Mona Hatoum) How can one imbibe in paint something as complex as the civil war that is tearing apart the fabric of Algerian society? How can one read this special issue Algeriad with a critical terminology of tragic experience, individual identity and the human condition? The question is one not so much of desire as of revulsion: How does one come to deliver the sense of what a person like Rachida is, who has had to endure so much pain and suffering? In presenting the case of her letter with the brush on the canvas, one must grapple with the in:possible, for painting an image, say, Garden, is as elusive as trying to come to grips with the tragic reality one encounters in the streets of Algiers. Further, the paradox that defines the tragedy and the painting lies hidden in the exchange and circulation between the subject and object (of the letter). Marcel Duchamp put it perceptively when he spoke of the co-efficient in personal art. By this he meant the gap between what the artist intends and what is physically realized. Garden was fathered out of a love for the subject of beauty that is barred and denied in the repulsive horror. The appeal also stems from my capacity to empathize with the subject telling her story late into the night to a stranger. Sensing that the tragic experience of her family is in some way exemplary, I reach for colors of value to corroborate it. All this illuminates the articulated practice responding to the difference between the objects and setting them down in a kind of rupture, culminating in the cartographic gaze, the head and hands, the parts that best reveal the passions of the soul. Rachida narrates her tragic experience with courage. Reading her story forced me to face her plight in paint.What struck me at once is the intense care for the self that is woven in the lyrics of her song-like testimony, hence my raw emotional response, which manifests itself in the monochromatic gray that is reversed when placed against the faded yellow background whereby the male figure is isolated. The red petals further enhance the force of the image, but not without contradictions: the intense pink and red gravitate with grace against the gray and yellow to make possible a certain sense of hope and rejuvenation. The image is also violently contrasting and contradictory, suggesting a fierce urgency and deep emotion. The male figure is pouring the rose petals with the utmost care in what can be viewed as an act of nurturing, sowing, and fertilizing. …

On classification of scientific revolutions

The question whether Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions could be applied to mathematics caused many interesting problems to arise. The aim of this paper is to discuss whether there are different kinds of scientific revolution, and if so, how many. The basic idea of the paper is to discriminate between the formal and the social aspects of the development of science and to compare them. The paper has four parts. In the first introductory part we discuss some of the questions which arose during the debate of the historians of mathematics. In the second part, we introduce the concept of the epistemic framework of a theory. We propose to discriminate three parts of this framework, from which the one called formal frame will be of considerable importance for our approach, as its development is conservative and gradual. In the third part of the paper we define the concept of epistemic rupture as a discontinuity in the formal frame. The conservative and gradual nature of the changes of the formal frame open the possibility to compare different epistemic ruptures. We try to show that there are four different kinds of epistemic rupture, which we call idealisation, re-presentation, objectivisation and re-formulation. In the last part of the paper we derive from the classification of the epistemic ruptures a classification of scientific revolutions. As only the first three kinds of rupture are revolutionary (the re-formulations are rather cumulative), we obtain three kinds of scientific revolution: idealisation, re-presentation, and objectivisation. We discuss the relation of our classification of scientific revolutions to the views of Kuhn, Lakatos, Crowe, and Dauben.

Temperature Dependence of Ultimate Strength and Elongation of Vulcanized Rubber

Abstract The ultimate elongation of vulcanized rubbers attains its maximum at a temperature Tmax, which was found to be sensitively increasing with increasing sequence regularity of alternating BD-AN copolymers and with increasing length of hard block of BD-ST block copolymers. Two kinds of rupture are proposed: a brittle rupture at low temperature occurs when the chain is extended fully and a plastic rupture occurs when the loosening of the chain caused by bond scission becomes faster than elongation. In the former case αb ∝ 1/αη˙, whereas in the latter αb ∝ 1/ατ˙, η and τ being resistance to viscous slippage and bond scission, respectively. It is estimated that Tmax decreases with increasing the crosslinks as well as the amorphous part, similar to a melting point.

MICROSCOPIC STUTY OF SYNTHETIC FIBERS ON IMPACT RUPTURE

The tensile tests of Polypropylene, Nylon 6 and polyester Tetoron fibers have been carried out with tensile speed varying from 3.3×10-3cm/sec to 1.6×102cm/sec, and the shape of fibers at the point of rupture has been investigated with microphotographs.The following results have been obtained:(1) All kinds of fibers are broken down at high tensile speed found to have a tip of the nailhead shape at the point of rupture, the shape of ruptare can easily be distinguished from rupture due to ductility or brittleness. This kind of rupture is named melting type rupture.(2) With the increase of tensile speed, the type of rupture found at the breaking point of the fibers also changes in the order of ductile, brittle and melted rupture.(3) The lowest tensile speed at which melting type rupture appears is 3.3×10-3cm/sec for polypropylene fibers, 1.6cm/sec for Nylon 6 fibers, and 1.6×102cm/sec for PET fibers. This shows that the lower the melting point of fiber the lower the impact speed at which melting type rupture appears will be.

XXXI. An account of an hydro-enterocele, appearing like an hydro-sarcocele, and ending in the death of the patient, in which the intestine had passed from the hernial sac, into that of the hydrocele by which the strangulation was formed. Communicated by Mr. Le Cat, F. R. S. &amp;c. in a letter to Charles Morton, Sec. R. S. Translated by J.

In the year 1751, I presented to the Royal Society an observation of a rupture, which had two hernial sacs; at present, I have the honour to send them the history of another kind of rupture with a double sac, much more fallacious and dangerous than the former, since I found myself deceived by it, after the experience of forty years.
