The Impact of Suicidal Behaviors on Inpatient Hospital Staff
No full textThe purpose of this study was to assess the effects of patient suicidal activities and a suicide intervention protocol on the well-being of employees at an inpatient state hospital. A phenomenological qualitative research project was conducted. Six employees who had experienced patient suicidal activity at an inpatient hospital were interviewed. The results were organized into two broad categories outlining beneficial practices and recommendations. In the beneficial practices category, three themes were identified: communication among employees, peer support, and professional support. In the recommendations category, additional suicide prevention training and improved administrative support after a suicidal activity were identified. Employee recommendations for improved well-being are discussed along with personal reactions to patient suicidal activity
A Genealogy of Rape through a Feminist Imaginary
Get PDFThe subject of gender violence is complex because our conceptions of what constitutes violence have historically evolved. Therefore, I propose that we should try to understand gender violence neither in abstract nor in essentialist ways, but within historical frameworks and through concrete examples. In this essay I will focus on a historical genealogy of our moral views about gender violence, and, in particular, on the figure of what we call today “rape.” The question of rape is but one example of the long history of gender violence. However, this example is important to understand how violence and gender violence are related to specific conceptions of political and sexual sovereignty. My claim is that we need to pay attention to how is it possible to understand the role of imagination to interpret gender violence nowadays. My conclusion is that the moral filters that configure our “feminist imaginary” have changed our views about rape

Belief Revision in the Context of Hume’s Treatise and Contemporary Psychology
Get PDFThis paper examines the emotional and social motivations of belief and belief correction. As beliefs motivate one’s actions, one must examine how one revises an erroneous or harmful belief and what methodology one can employ in order to best facilitate this revision, resulting in more conscientious action. This paper examines belief formation and revision in the context of David Hume’s 1739-1740 work A Treatise of Human Nature, with particular attention to not only Hume’s account of belief and belief revision, but also the interaction of passions, the mechanism of sympathy, reason, and probability judgments. It is hypothesized Hume’s theory of belief will be reflected in contemporary psychology and cognitive science, with individuals more likely to revise their beliefs based emotional and social factors and experiences proposed by Hume
Notes for an Ethical Critique of the Histories of Philosophy in Mexico: Searching for the Place of Women
Get PDFThe histories of philosophy in Mexico published between 1943 and 2016 display gender inequality, as they include many more male than female authors. But are they a true and objective portrayal of women’s participation in, and contribution to, Mexican philosophy? In this essay I discuss why we should perform an ethical revision of the selection criteria used in the histories of philosophy in Mexico, and I will present some proposals that I believe could help repair the epistemic injustice that women have been historically subjected to in this field
Association Between Sedentary Lifestyle, Television-Watching and Asthma
Get PDFBackground:In developed countries sedentary lifestyle is becoming an ever worsening problem. This sedentary lifestyle includes TV watching and general lack of activity. Childhood obesity is on the rise and is reaching epidemic levels. Specifically concerning, is a possible link between TV watching as youth and subsequent asthma development. There are some theories about the mechanism of asthma development related to prolonged periods of youth TV watching. It is thought that TV viewing induces a depressed respiratory rate which, over time, can lead to permanent lung damage. This damage triggers development or worsening of asthma in later years.
Methods: Exhaustive search of available medical literature of MEDLINE-PubMed, CINAHL, and MEDLINE-Ovid was conducting using the keywords television, asthma, eczema, atopic disease, sedentary, lifestyle, andyouth. Studies were evaluated for quality using GRADE criteria.
Results:There is an association between screen time, lifestyle and presence or development of asthma in children. There is evidence to show that it is not due solely to a lack of physical activity but could be directly associated with TV viewing at a young age.
Conclusion:Longer duration of television viewing is associated with a more sedentary lifestyle and a worsening and/or development of asthma and atopic disease. The studies relied on subjective data and more research should be conducted. However, clinicians should educate parents of young children about the possible harms of too much TV watching
