London! O Melancholy! : the eloquence of the body in the town in the English novel of sentiment

Morgan, George MacGregor 05 1900 (has links)
Morgan reads the treatment of gesture in Clarissa (Richardson, 1747 - 48), Amelia (Fielding,1 751), and Cecilia (Burney, 1782) to study the capacity the sentimental novel attributes to physical forms of eloquence to generate sociability and moderate selfishness in London. He argues that the eighteenth-century English novel of sentiment adopts a physiology derived from Descartes's theory of the body-machine to construct sentimental protagonists whose gestures bear witness against Bernard Mandeville's assertions that people are not naturally sociable, and that self-interest, rather than sympathy, determines absolutely every aspect of human behaviour. However, when studied in the context of sentimental fiction set in the cruel and unsociable metropolis of London, the action of this eloquent body proved relatively ineffectual in changing its spectators for the better. In the English novelistic tradition that stems from Samuel Richardson's Clarissa (1747 - 48), selfishness lies at the roots of civilization, and inculcates modern urban people with instinctively theatrical mores: metropolitan theatricality, marked out in the gestures of the polite body, works to vitiate the sociability that might naturally animate everyday human intercourse. Clarissa responds to the dilemma of the intrinsic theatricality and self-interestedness of modern civil society with a heroine whose gestures (that is, whose physical states) demonstrate an eloquence that partially counteracts some of the effects self-love has upon the metropolis. But while sympathy and natural eloquence do little to diminish London's submission to selfishness, they remain, in Clarissa, unequivocally good. In contrast with Clarissa, Henry Fielding's Amelia (1751) and Frances Burney's Cecilia (1782) criticize both phenomena. In these novels, both by written by socially conservative authors, natural eloquence and sympathy do not generate sociability in London at all and do not even ensure personal virtue unless they are tempered by the discipline of some kind of theatricality. For Fielding and for Burney, unregulated sympathy becomes a problem to which the best remedy is a modicum of stage-craft. But, strangely enough, all three novels indirectly licence the principles of the self-interest they ostensibly attack. Ultimately, these novels of sentiment self-consciously position sympathy and natural eloquence as supplemental discourses that might protest against the dominant practices of Mandevillian self-interest that produce the social order of the metropolis. The net result is that the novel of sentiment implicitly tolerates the dominance of self-interest in the areas of public activity that lie mostly outside the subject-matter with which sentimental fiction principally concerns itself.

Homem, religião e natureza: a materialidade no projeto de filosofia do futuro em Ludwig Feuerbach / Man, religion and nature: the materiality in the project of philosophy of the future of Ludwig Feuerbach

E como podemos falar de uma nova filosofia – ou filosofia do futuro – nascente da dissolução da religião, pautada na valorização da materialidade? Feuerbach afirma que a religião é própria à essência humana e o sentimento religioso é o primeiro estágio de consciência de si no homem. A filosofia feuerbachiana está preocupada em descobrir o que está por trás da religião – sua essência – que nada mais é que a própria antropologia. O fundamento antropológico da religião é, portanto, a identidade entre a consciência de deus e a consciência de si do homem. Para além desse sentimento religioso básico, veremos uma preocupação com a teologia – a racionalização desse sentimento – que inverte a lógica da criação (deus passa a ser o criador) e faz com que o homem siga e se submeta a um espectro criado pela sua própria abstração, se desvalorize enquanto ser humano sensível e ainda, desvalorize sua vida e a natureza. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar o papel da materialidade no projeto de nova filosofia que Feuerbach traz à tona em princípios da filosofia do futuro (1843), tomando por base a noção de religião (e suas críticas a ela) trazida pelo autor em sua Essência do Cristianismo (1841), Essência da Religião (1846) e Preleções sobre a Essência da Religião (1851). Assim, oferecemos uma interpretação dessas questões, expondo seus pontos de cruzamento com a religião cristã e com a natureza, podendo tratar dos desdobramentos do assunto com os argumentos oferecidos por Feuerbach. Trata-se de relacionar o papel da religião na vida humana questionando suas consequências (positivas e negativas) para o homem e para a natureza. Trazendo à luz o problema religioso, poderemos entender como Feuerbach engendra o projeto de uma nova filosofia, que terá sua prioridade no homem que valoriza sua sensibilidade (Sinnlichkeit) e está em consonância com a sua comunidade e com a natureza. Destarte, poderemos realizar uma reflexão sobre a relevância desse pensamento na atualidade.

The House: to be accompanied and to be alone

Feng, Zhenzhen 19 June 2018 (has links)
It is the house that has spaces above ground and spaces beneath the ground. The part above ground is separated into three volumes. The first space is for the owner to accompany with friends and family members, which is a significant part of one's life. The second space is the owner staying with close friends where they can work and design together. The third space is only for the owner where he can sleep, read and relax. Sometimes, the owner feels depressed, he prefers to run away from sadness like a child. Thus, I design a series of spaces for the owner to get away like a child. He can take a journey to get rid of sorrow by going through the underground spaces. The journey of the owner, created by a series of experiencing spaces underneath, starts from the third space. The owner will travel spaces containing different lights, sounds, and views. The owner can stop by during the journey to experience the spaces. He will gradually forget sadness and sorrow by the pleasure created by various experience. The owner will hear echoes when he sings in the spaces and will notice the sound of his footsteps and will view different scenes from various light tubes. Finally, the owner will reach a destination; it is a tower without a roof. He can experience starry night, rain, sunshine and so forth. He eventually reaches a place near nature, which is still one part of The House. / Master of Architecture

Lowering the Number of False Positive Responses to Electric Pulp Tests by Qualifying Patient Response

Lee, Katherine JS 01 January 2015 (has links)
The electric pulp test (EPT) has been shown to be a valuable tool in assessing pulp vitality. One of its drawbacks, however, is its high number of false positives. The purpose of this study was to determine if qualifying the type of sensation elicited by the test could lower the percentage of false positive responses. A retrospective chart review of an eleven-month period was conducted, examining all patients with necrotic teeth tested with the EPT. Of 189 teeth, when the patient responded to EPT at first sensation 23.3% of teeth were incorrectly identified as vital. When the patient was asked to respond only if they felt an uncomfortable sensation, the false positive rate was lowered to 8.5%, a statistically significant difference. No association was found between the teeth reclassified as necrotic and age, gender, type of tooth, or number of canals.

Os Bichos de Miguel Torga: o retorno ao elo perdido / Bichos of Miguel Torga: the return to the missing link

Costa, Alexandre Emidio 22 March 2010 (has links)
Este trabalho procura investigar no livro de contos Bichos (1940), do escritor modernista português Miguel Torga, pseudônimo literário de Adolfo Correia Rocha, a cosmovisão do autor que emerge a temática telúrica (a Natureza) bem como uma série de reflexões acerca da condição humana, a partir das quais traz à tona também uma nova concepção de humanismo. Partimos do princípio de que, nas narrativas, o homem se encontra numa sociedade civilizada, corrompido por valores do seu tempo, distanciado de modo exagerado de sua origem e, para que encontre um sentido para a sua existência, o homem tem de regressar à sua origem (à Natureza, que aparece nos contos dentro de uma perspectiva panteísta). Voltando à origem, por meio do contato com o outro, isto é, com os seres vivos que vivem integrados à natureza, o homem despertará e reaprenderá a usar a sua sensibilidade e passará a harmonizá-la com a razão. Passando, assim, a viver de modo fraterno e equilibrado com todos os seres do universo como forma de suavizar a dureza do trajeto existencial humano, marcado, por exemplo: pela angústia e solidão. Para darmos consistência a este estudo, utilizamos como suporte teórico autores, como Kierkegaard, Sartre e Heidegger; o sociólogo francês Michel Maffesoli; Mikhail Bakhtin; Marc Augé, e outros que contribuem de modo significativo para a análise e discussão do tema. / This study tries to research the storybook Bichos (1940), by the portuguese modernist writer Miguel Torga, literary pseudonym of Adolfo Correia Rocha, the cosmovision of the author who emerges from the land-based theme (Nature) and a series of reflections about the human condition, from which also brings out a new conception of humanism. We depart from the principle that, in the narratives, the man is in a \"civilized\" society, corrupted by the values of his time, away out of proportion to their origin and to find a meaning to his existence, man has to return to his origin (to Nature, which appears in the tales within a pantheistic perspective). Returning to the origin, through contact with one another, that is, living beings who live integrated with nature, man will \"wake up\" and will \"relearn\" to use his sensibility and will bring to his reason. Turning thus to live in a fraternal and balanced with all universe beings as a way to soften the harshness of the human existential path, marked, for example: by anguish and loneliness. To give consistency to this study, we use as theoretical support authors, as Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre; the french sociologist Michel Maffesoli; Mikhail Bakhtin; Marc Augé, and others who contribute significantly for the analysis and discussion of the theme.

Att vara i mötet med den som är rädd : en empirisk studie om hur rädsla kan lindras i vården

Holm, Kristina, Holmberg, Jenny January 2013 (has links)
Bakgrund: Inom sjukvården uppstår det ständigt situationer där patienters rädsla hamnar i fokus och vårdpersonalens förmåga att lindra rädsla behöver förbättras. Genom att ha en förståelse för fenomenet rädsla skapas goda förutsättningar för att kunna lindra rädslan. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskestudenters uppfattning om hur patienters rädsla kan lindras. Metod: Studien genomfördes på sjuksköterskestudenter och data insamlades från fyra fokussamtal. Materialet analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras utifrån tre teman; ”Att identifiera rädslan hos patienten”,” Att vara i mötet med den som är rädd” och ”Att överblicka det som skall hända tillsammans med patienten”. Diskussion: För att kunna lindra rädsla måste den först identifieras vilket kan göras i ett bra möte där vårdpersonalens känslighet är av stor vikt. I mötet har vårdpersonalen möjlighet att rusta patienten för att han eller hon ska kunna bemästra sin situation. Slutsats: Vårdpersonalen behöver ha känsligheten som förmåga för att kunna identifiera och lindra rädslan som patienten upplever. / Background: Within healthcare situations constantly occurs situations where patients' fear is in focus, and the ability to ease fear need to be improved. To create more favorable conditions to ease the fear it is important to understand the base of the phenomenon. Aim: The aim was to describe nursing students´ perception of how patients' fears can be eased. Method: The study was conducted on nursing students and data were collected from four focus interviews. The material was analyzed by a content analysis. Results: The results are presented on three themes: "Identifying the fear of the patient", "To face those who are afraid" and "Overview of what is happening together with the patient." Discussion: In order to ease the fear, the fear must be identified which can be done in a good meeting where health professionals´ sensitivity is of great importance. In the meeting, the nursing staff have the opportunity to prepare the patient so that he or she should be able to cope with their situation. Conclusion: Health professionals need to have the sensitivity and the ability to identify and ease the fear that the patient experience.

Sjuksköterskans etiska kompetens / Nurse’s ethical competence

Lindström, Joanna, Cederlid, Moa January 2015 (has links)
Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor har ett etiskt ansvar för sina handlingar och bedömningar i vården. Etisk kompetens utgör en del av sjuksköterskans profession. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att undersöka hur den etiska kompetensen hos sjuksköterskan beskrivs. Metod: Denna litteraturöversikt grundas i tolv vårdvetenskapliga artiklar vilka har lästs upprepade gånger. Nyckelfynd har kunnat identifieras avseende den etiska kompetensen hos sjuksköterskan. En sammanfattning av varje studie utfördes för att sedan utmynna i en sammanställning där två huvudteman urskildes. Därefter bildades nya underteman vilka presenterar resultatet. Resultat: I resultatet beskrivs den etiska kompetensen med dess komponenter. Det framkom i resultatet att etiska värderingar ofta underskattas på grund av att sjuksköterskor i högre grad prioriterar medicinska åtgärder, vilket ledde till att god omvårdnad i vissa fall försummades då det tenderade att inte erkännas och därmed inte sågs som något produktivt. Upplevelser av hinder för tillämpning av etisk kompetens förekommer i en majoritet av studierna vilket anses bero på tidsbrist och hög arbetsbelastning. Sjuksköterskor har teoretisk kompetens om vad som är etiskt rätt att göra men omsätter inte alltid denna i det dagliga arbetet. Sjuksköterskor får heller inte möjlighet att lyfta fram etiska frågor i daglig vårdkontext. Sensibiliteten visar sig vara en återkommande aspekt i utövandet av god vård. I flera studier framkommer att det föreligger ett behov av etisk kompetensutveckling. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuteras med stöd i Lévinas teori om etisk sensibilitet samt konsensusbegreppet vårdande. / Background: Nurses' have an ethical responsibility for their actions and assessment within health care. Ethical competence is part of the nurses profession. Aim: The purpose of this literature review was to examine how nurse’s ethical competence can be described. Method: This literature review is based on twelve scientific articles on nursing that have been read repeatedly and key findings were identified regarding nurses´ ethical competence. Each study was summerized and results concluded two main identified themes. Subsequently, new sub-themes arose where results are presented. Results: The results explain the ethical competence and its components. It appears in the results that ethical values are underestimated because nurses’ seem to value medical priorities higher, which in turn leads to a lack of focus on providing good care because it tends to be unrecognized and therefore not seen as something productive. Perception of barriers for the use of ethical competence appears in a majority of the studies. The main factors identified are lack of time and heavy workload. It was also clear that nurses’ have theoretical knowledge on what is ethically correct but have problems applying this in their daily work. Nurses’ are not given the opportunity to highlight ethical issues in a daily care context. Sensitivity is an important aspect in the practice of giving high quality care. In several studies, the need for further education within ethical nursing was identified. Discussions: The results are discussed on the basis of Lévinas theoretical approach comprising of ethical sensibility, and caring.
