Our Nonhuman Story: The Posthuman Reality Imagined in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818)

The fast-shifting material condition we are living in―one that is increasingly technologically mediated―demands a new way of reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). In con versation with posthumanist thinkers and with a handful of ‘big’ thinkers of our time, this essay proposes two things. Primarily, I seek to reread Shelley’s speculative fiction in light of the current theoretical debates on posthumanism. But it is not my intention to forgo the historical specificity of Frankenstein. Rather, this essay stands on the meaningful intersections of Romantic life science, eighteenth-century aesthetic discourses, and posthumanist concerns. I argue that Shelley’s 1818 Frankenstein draws the narrative arc of posthumanist fiction, for the novel attests to the possi bility of distinctly nonhuman cognitive developments while reckoning with its agential power. To that end, this essay examines the Creature’s language acquisition, his discernment of beauty, sympathy, and benevo lence, and eventually his request for a female companion. These facets are the key tenors that altogether illustrate cognitive power of the tenta tively nonhuman. More importantly, perhaps nothing can better illustrate a nexus of fraught emotions that attend to the making of and cohabiting with the nonhuman―repulse, anxiety, and fear―than the interactions between Frankenstein and the Creature. The pseudo father-and-son rela tionship nicely anticipates our very twenty-first-century unease toward the kind of nonhuman characterized by augmented physicality and enhanced cognitive capabilities that might match or surpass humans.

The effect of perceived organisational justice on job satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses.

Organisational justice influences job satisfaction, the performance of individuals and the functioning of institutions. The lack of evidence-based studies investigating the relationship between hemodialysis nurses' perceptions of organisational justice, job satisfaction and burnout has created a research gap in this area. To investigate the effect of perceived organisational justice on professional satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses and to identify any relation ship with individual and organisational factors. The study was designed as a multi-centre descriptive study. The data were collected using the 'personal information form', the Organisational Justice Scale', the 'Maslach Burnout Inventory' and the 'Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire'. The distributive justice scores decreased as the depersonalisation scores of the nurses increased. As the personal accomplishment scores of the nurses increased, the interactional justice scores also increased. It was observed that the job satisfaction scores increased as the sub-dimensional scores of the organisational justice scale increased and exhaustion decreased. It was detected that there was a significant relationship between the organisational justice perception of nurses and their job satisfaction and level of burnout. Institutions are encouraged to adopt a fair policy towards nurses and promote personal development.

Application of variable selection and dimension reduction on predictors of MSE\u2019s development

Nature create variables using its character component, and variables are sharing characters from a vary small to relatively large scale. This results, variables to have from a vary different to a more similar character, and leads to have a relation ship. Literature suggested different relation measures based on the nature of variable and type of relation ship exist. Today, due to having high variety of frequently produced large data size, currently suggested variable filtering and selection methods have gaps to full fill the need. This research desires to fill this gap by comparing literature suggested methods to finding out a better variable selection and dimension reduction methods. The result from regression analysis using all literature suggested factors shows that none of the predictors for development status of enterprise are significant, and only 10 predictors for number of employer in an enterprise are significant out of 81 factors. Since, variable selection and dimension reduction methods are applied to find out predictors of a response by removing variable redundancy, and complexity of incorporating large number variable. Based on statistical power, for the results from variable selection methods, specially association and correlation methods showed that, CANOVA more efficiently detects non-linear or non-monotonic correlation between a continuous–continuous and a continuous-categorical variables. Spearman’s correlation coefficient more efficiently detects a monotonic correlation between a continuous with a continuous, and a continuous with a categorical variable. Pearson correlation coefficient more efficiently detects the linear correlation between continuous variables. MIC efficiently detects non-linear or non-monotonic relation between continuous variables. Chi-square test of independence efficiently detects relation between a continuous with a continuous, and categorical with categorical variables, but the non linear or non monotonic relation between a continuous with a categorical are not well detected. On the other hand, the result from lasso and stepwise methods reveals that, the relation between the predictor and response due to interaction effect not detected by correlation and association methods are detected by stepwise variable selection method, and the multicollinearity is detected and removed by lasso method. Regressing the response variable “number of employer in an enterprise” based on variables selected by lasso and stepwise method does bring greater model fitness (based on adjusted R-squared value) than variables selected by association and correlation methods. Similarly, regressing the response variable “development status of an enterprise” based on variables selected by association and correlation methods does bring 12 significant variables, where none of variables are significant from variables selected by lasso and stepwise methods. As a result, 51 predictors for number of employment in an enterprise, and 40 predictors for development status of an enterprise are detected as significantly related variables. And, lasso and stepwise methods are preferred to select predictors of a continuous response variable “number of employers in an enterprise”, and association and correlation methods are preferred to select predictors of a categorical response variable “development status of an enterprise”. Finally, the reduced regression models result reveals that, 20 predictors have causal relation with number of employment in an enterprise, and 12 predictors have causal relation with development status of an enterprise. On the other hand, based on model fitness, information lost, and number of significant factors, principal factor is preferred and applied in dimension reduction for a categorical response variable “development status of an enterprise”, and factor score based regression is preferred and applied for a continuous response variable “number of employers in an enterprise”. However, the comparison of the results in variable selection and dimension reduction indicates that, variable selection methods gave more gain in model fitness than dimension reduction methods. Hence, the suggested variable selection methods are more preferred than dimension reduction methods, and applied to find out predictors. In general, the suggested procedure for variable selection methods are recommended when small number of variables are studied, and the suggested dimension reduction methods are recommended for large number of variant variables (Big data case).

However, it is also evidenced that the collaborative interdependence can be more effective, covering the LPA.

Consumption of sugary drinks and sugar added to beverages and their relation ship with nutritional status in young people of Medellin (Colombia)

Introduction: Worldwide, there is a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and young people, the etiology is multicausal and influences environmental, cultural and eating habits factors such as the consumption of sugary drinks and added sugar that promote excess weight and risk of chronic diseases. Objective: To identify the relationship between the amount ingested of sugary drinks (BA) and added sugar (AA) with the nutritional status of young people. Methods: Cross sectional study, carried out in 596 individuals, between 10 and 18 years, the evaluation of dietary intake was made through Reminder 24 hours (R24H), for each of the individuals was considered the Best Linear Predictor Insleegue (MPLI) of energy,% AMDR of the total CHOS (acceptable range of distribution of macronutrients) and of the simple CHOS; the nutritional status was classified according to Z score of the body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (% GC). An association with the Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis and a quantile regression model was determined. Results: Young people from medium-low socioeconomic status had higher AA consumption (p = <0.0001), young people with adequate nutritional status had higher AA (p = 0.011) and energy consumption (p = <0.0001 ) and those with excess nutritional status ingest a greater amount of BA (p = 0.025) and greater% of simple AMDR CHOS (p = 0.045). Conclusions: the development of overweight was not related to excessive energy intake, but to the consumption of sugary drinks and the contribution of simple carbohydra es to total energy.

Thirty Years of Studies on Prosopography of Portuguese Early Modern Jurists

This article reports on the state of prosopographical research on Portuguese university-educated (»learned«) jurists, which is particularly advanced due to the specific Portuguese source situation. A number of substantial studies have employed digital tools to analyse and visualise the social backgrounds and career patterns of law students, jurists serving as royal magistrates, and high court judges from the 17th to the 19th centuries. A current project on the authors of legal doctrinal works reveals the thematic preoccupations of Portuguese jurists over the period studied. Beyond their immediate thematic foci and methodological advances, these studies also make sub- stantial contributions to our understanding of the actual practices of government, including the rela tionship between Portugal’s overseas territories and the metropole.

IVAN STESHENKO: ARTISTIC INDIVIDUALITY IN THE FIELD OF ERA

The article is devoted to the artistic personality of Ivan Steshenko as an independent creative person of the early twentieth century, in which the poetic world reflected the stylistic and aesthetic contradictions inherent in the transitional era of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It was emphas ized that artistic thinking, literary style of the art is twas for me dinan atmosphere of communication and personal relation ships with many contemporary cultural figures: his biography is closely connected with Starytsky, Lesya Ukrainka, O. Konysky and others. Innovative features and conscientiousness of his poetry with works by M. Staritsky, Lesya Ukrainka and others canbetraced. The key images that reflect the complex system of Ivan Steshenko's spiritual life are considered and is a significant element of his artistic world, which combines neoclassical and neo-romantic elements, tangible relapses of positivism. It is proved that with out studying the artistic personality of Ivan Steshenko it is impossible to out line the true spiritual field of Ukrainian literature, toconstruct a complete model of the national literary process. It is noted that Ivan Steshenko's poetry is polyphonic. There is a desire in it to show the world in all its manifestations, to discover both aesthetic and civic stance. In his artistic word the actual and abstract, national and human, philosophical and social problems became firmly joined. In his writings, the poet reveals the tragic existence of man, reflects his temporality, shows the gap between dream and reality, demonstrates fatigue and frustration in search of happiness. In his poetry, the dramatic disharmony of the thinking man with the world of evil and violence is clearly embodied, the position of the rejection of the existing world order is clearly expressed. There is a synthesis of emotional and intellectual.

Robert McLiam Wilson’s Eureka Street: (Post)Modernity and the Social Ethics of Infinity

This paper contemplates egalitarian ethics and ecumenical consumer ism suggesting expansive possibilities of Northern Ireland’s sectarian lim its towards unlimited spatialities in Robert McLiam Wilson’s Belfast novel, Eureka Street. This paper argues that Northern Ireland’s (Belfast’s) (post)modernity and a social ethics promoting outwardly mediated rela tionships are a vision for nonidentity Eureka Street espouses against the identity politics of Protestant-Catholic schism. Eureka Street remarkably challenges Northern Irish sectarian politics propelling inwardly unmediat ed relationships by ethical possibilities of infinitively mediated relation ships. In the argument for a postmodern view of the novel, commodity fetishism and consumerism are considered as key to a prospect of emanci pation of Northern Ireland from the political fetters of total identity the partisan communities impose on themselves. This paper also demon strates that a post-national cosmopolitanism Eureka Street envisages embraces a new social solidarity predicated upon socio-political plural isms against Northern Irish sectarian identities.

GÜÇ MESAFESİ - ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİK İLİŞKİSİ: AFGANİSTAN DAKİ TÜRK İŞGÖRENLER ÖRNEĞİ

Power distance is the perception level of individuals forming a society whether or not they are equal to each other. Organizational silence behavior on the other hand, which means that employees do not intentionally Express their ideas about organizational issues, is a fact to be considered for organizations that expect high performance and efficiency from the employees. Organizational silence behavior, at the same time, is a threat to organizational development and change. Power distance, one of the cultural dimensions of Hofstede, which is believed to be effective on employees in demonstrating organizational silence behavior, is an issue that has not been so much studied in our country and in general in the literature. It was aimed in this study to reveal the relation ship between power distance and dimensions of organizational silence and to investigate the effect of power distance on the dimensions of organizational silence. The sample of the study consists of 94 employees of Turkish origin working in Afghanistan. Correlation analysis and simple linear regression were applied to the questionnaires filled by employees. According to findings, there is no statistically significant relationship between power distance and dimensions of organizational silence.

Of Mind and Matter in Charles Duclos’s Acajou et Zirphile

Charles Duclos based Acajou et Zirphile (1744) on ten drawings by François Boucher, originally designed to illustrate the Comte de Tessin’s Faunillane, ou l’Infante jaune (1741). Separated from their source and rearranged, these illustrations, which depict a woman’s head severed from her body then reas sembled, tell quite a different story. I consider the materiality of the illustra tions, placing them in the context of the various media in which Boucher worked and which his drawings and engravings inspired, includ ing painting, costume and set design, porcelain, and tapestry. I also explore the materi ality in the illustrations, demonstrating how Duclos, like Boucher, places char acters and objects on the same ontological level in both his tale and his moral treatise, Considérations sur les mœurs de ce siècle (1751), which share the same pedagogical preoccupations. Boucher’s illustrations mediate rela tion ships between the two tales, Duclos’s tale and his moral treatise, and Duclos’s tale and Charles-Simon Favart’s opéra-comique Acajou, affirming the status of book illustration as an intermedial cultural object.

The usefulness of 3D-CT simulation and intraoperative navigation in pediatric minimally invasive surgery

Abstract Background/aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of 3D-CT simulation in pediatric minimally invasive surgery. Methodology adenomatoidPreoperative 3D-CT simulation was performed using data from contrast enhancement MDCT and SYNAPSE VINCENT software. The images of 3D CT simulation were installed to iPad, and were used as intra-operative images. From 2011 to 2015, three cases who underwent minimally invasive surgery were enrolled. (hepatoblastoma (n = 1), Congenital cystic aednomatoid malformation (CCAM) (n = 1) and mediastinal tumor (n = 1)). Results Case 1: 1y-6m male with hepatoblastoma (PRETEXT I, S5) underwent laparoscopic surgery after the preoperative chemotherapy (CDDP 4 course). On preoperative 3D-CT simulation, the positional relationship between the lesion, vasculature and bile duct had been described well. And the laparoscopic tumor resection (partial hepatectomy) was safely performed. Case 2: 11 m female with Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) underwent thoracoscopy-assisted lobectomy. On preoperative 3D-CT simulation, the positional relation ship between the lesion, vasculature and bronchus had been described. Furthermore, 3D-CT described the aberrant-V2 which was arisen from inferior pulmonary vein to drain the right upper lobe. And the thoracoscopy-assisted resection of right upper lobe was safely performed. Case 3: 6-years-old male with mediastinal cyst (e.g. bronchogenic cyst) underwent completely-thoracoscopic tumorectomy. On preoperative 3D-CT simulation, the positional relationship among the lesion, bronchi, cardiovascular system, and esophagus. Conclusions Preoperative 3D-CT simulation and intraoperative navigation for pediatric minimally invasive surgery were useful and feasible.

Transdisciplinariedad investigativa: una apuesta en construcción para las Relaciones Internacionales e inteligencia/ Investigative transdisciplinarity: a bet in construction for International Relations and intelligence

Apostar por una estrategia investigativa transdisciplinaria entre las Relaciones Internacionales (RI), en su sub-campo de seguridad y los Estudios de Inteligencia (EI), implica un triple compromiso: rigurosidad epistemológica, pertinencia teórico-metodológica y una clara responsabilidad político-ética, para desarrollar líneas analíticas adaptables –y con voz propia– a las necesidades investigativas locales. Este artículo constituye una reflexión crítica orientada a evaluar la pertinencia metodológica trandisciplinaria en construcción, para la generación de conocimiento nuevo; de esta manera, ampliar la comprensión de objetos de estudio del mundo internacional y de inteligencia de manera glocal. Los hallazgos muestran que gran parte de la literatura en RI y EI, especialmente en el ámbito de la seguridad, basan su producción en métodos ortodoxos, que marginalizan las potencialidades transdisciplinarias e instrumentan miradas pragmáticas con escasa reflexión epistemológica del método.&#x0D; Abstract&#x0D; Betting on a transdisciplinary research strategy between International Relations (RI) and Intelligence Studies (EI) implies a triple commitment: epistemological rigor, theoretical-methodological relevance and a clear political-ethical responsibility, to develop adaptive analytical lines with a voice of its own before the local investigative needs of both fields. Thus, this article constitutes a critical reflection aimed at evaluating the methodological relevance of transdisciplinarity in construction, towards the production of new knowledge that allows to expanding the understanding of the objects of study of the international world and of intelligence in a glocal way. The findings show that a large part of the literature in RI and EI bases its production on orthodox methods, marginalizing transdisciplinary potentialities and implementing pragmatic views with little epistemological reflection of the method.&#x0D; &#x0D;

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism within the Promoter Region of Cynomolgus Monkey LDLR Gene

The cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) is one of the most common nonhuman primate s used as an animal model in biomedical research relat ed to atherosclerosis. However, little is known about genetic variation in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene , its effect on cholesterol levels , and associated risk s of atherosclerosis. The refore this study aimed to identify genetic polymorphisms , namely single nucleotide polymorphism s (SNP s ) , within the promoter region of LDLR and their relation ship with animal responsiveness to hypercholesterolemia due to an atherogenic diet. In this research, SNPs were studied using DNA isolated from 22 cynomolgus monkeys obtained from a previous study, consisting of two hyporesponders, 19 hyperresponders, and one extreme case . The result showed that two SNP s existed in the promoter region , namely g.−169T>C and g.−265G>A. SNP g.−265G>A showed linkages with extreme responsive ness and can be used as a potential genetic marker for extreme animals. The result of this study has extended our knowledge of polymorphism in the LDLR gene and its use in the selection of cynomolgus monkeys as animal models in research on hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.

Reproductive cycle of leopard grouper Mycteroperca rosacea (Streets, 1877) held in captivity: relation ship between gonad development and sex steroid concentration

In this study, sex steroids (E2, T, and 11-KT) concentrations in blood of captive leopard grouper ( Mycteroperca rosacea ) and their relation togonad development were determined during a reproductive cycle. Each month, gonad samples from 24 fish were obtained to analyze gonadal maturation and blood was extracted to determine steroid levels. Throughout the year, ovaries showed a higher percentageof primary oocytes. In January, oocytes at early and late vitellogenesis stages increased progressively; from March to June, ovulation rates were high. In females, estradiol levels increased from March and decreased after the spawning season. Lower levels of testosterone were found during the spawning season and 11-KT remained without significant changes throughout the year. Males exhibit a significant increase in E2 from March until July; testosterone remained without significant variation throughout theyear, and 11-KT plasma levels increased from March until July and decreased after the spawning season. In this study, we verified the sex change of an organism and the concentrations of sexual steroids were determined and discussed.

Relationship between Organizational Climate and Occupational Safety and Health for Nurses

AbstractBackground: Nursing profession is hard and interesting, but unfortunately many nurses are exposed to occupational hazards that may cause them diseases and also reduce their performance in work. The organizational climate of the hospital may be one of the reasons that increase or decrease the exposure to occupational hazards.Aim: The current study assess the relationship between organizational climate and occupational safety and health for nurses.Subjects and Methods: A descriptive correlational design was utilized for this study to achieve the stated aim. The study was conducted at New Kaser El-Aini Teaching Hospital. A samples of 293 nurses were invited to participate in the questionnaire. For the purpose of this study, questionnaire for nurses was developed and utilized that consist of three parts: The first part was related to the nurse personal characteristics, the second part assess the nurses perception related to organ-izational climate, the third part was related to nurses perception of occupational hazardsResults: Half of the study sample were perceived positive hospital climate as, role clarity factor had the mean percentage (54.75%) and the lowest percentage (35.27%) social and (37.25) management. Moreover the study revealed that the study sample perceived psychological hazards was the most type of hazard that they exposed to during their work as (mean = 82.53%).Conclusion: There was strongly positive relation ship between organizational climate and occupational safety and health for nurses as nurse who perceive positive climate reported low exposure to occupational hazards.Recommendations: Hospital should assess organizational climate periodically to use results for creation a positive work atmosphere for productivity. Promoting positive organizational climate by promoting trust and team work 1 and openness through communication. Nurse manager must develop safety climate strategies for hospital, and set training program about protection from occupational hazards for their employee.

A Study on Analysing Speaking-pen Learning Log Data Considering Interests for Improvement of Primary School Children’s English Ability

As globalization advances, early English education for children in non-English speaking countries has been regarded as important. Many studies have proposed effective learning methods; however, few of these have analysed the relationship between learning processes and their effects with respect to detailed, classified interes ts. This study investigated and proposed detailed learners’ interests in primary school children’s English learning as variables from log data obtained through learning with a speaking-pen, and analysed the relation ship between features of learners’ interests and their improvements. Children were classified into four types based on their initial abilities, and an effective learning method was hypothesized for each type. The relationship between the features of children’s interests and variables related to self-regulated learning and English education , and their improvement of English skills, were then analysed . As a result, the validity of using variables of interests for understanding factors in English skill improvement was shown . https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.17.1.7
