Disability in Narrative Inquiry: A Case of Methodologically Unusable Data from a Participant with Intellectual Disability
No full textThis paper considers methodological and ethical implications of qualitative interview data deemed unusable for research analytic purposes because the interviewee had an intellectual disability. Critical disability studies theory is used to reimagine the utility of one case of so-called unusable qualitative data. Excerpts from this qualitative data that came from a pilot study interview of a PhD project are full of possibility for learning. Yet, among conclusions drawn, rhetoric about disability inclusion appears undermined by ableist normativity. Specifically, the problems associated with valuing abled ways of speaking within wider narrative research and scholarship will be the focus of this article
Becoming Mermaid: Exploring Human and More-Than-Human Relationality
No full textThe mermaid is a hybrid being, a product of human imagination that has dual potentiality; she can either uphold or challenge heteropatriarchal and able-bodied norms. She also has the potential to highlight human relations with more-than-human life. This paper explores the process of becoming mermaid in four performances that reinforce and/or challenge normate embodiment to varying degrees. One, at Weeki Wachee Springs, remains firmly tied to normate white heteropatriarchal values. Another, the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, is a multivalent performance that both affirms and challenges dominant norms of embodiment. The others, solo performances by Amber DiPietra and Hanna Cormick, highlight the humanity of disabled people and the kinship among human animals and our more-than-human kin
Influences on Recognizing Style from Brief Glances at Piano Scores: A Commentary on Huovinen & Rinne (2023)
No full textThe study by Huovinen and Rinne (2023) examines the information derived from experts' brief glances at a piano score, using both quantitative and qualitative measures. Evidence for quick extraction of information using an intuitive route was presented. In this commentary, I offer some additional perspectives on how choice of composer may have influenced some aspects, potential involvement of subtle finger movements, changes that might differ over levels of musical experience, and how metacognitive judgments could be included in future work
Commentary on Watanabe and Takeda
No full textThis is a commentary on Watanabe and Takeda's article, "Why do I like Schumann more than Chopin? A Physiological Analysis of Pianists' Affinities for Composers". The study offers a valuable insight into the relation between pianists' physiological 'Stance Type', as evaluated through 6 short test exercises, and their preference as well as aptitude for music by certain composers. While being a valuable presentation of a potentially very practical and effective method that addresses development and improvement of piano performance skills, there is some scope for improvement, namely: insight into how the three hypotheses were derived, detailed explanation of the proposed body positions for the performance of tempo-driven and momentum-driven composers' music, reasoning for effectiveness of the two body positions, and reconsideration of some terminology

Keeping Modeling with Mathematics as the Focus in Authentic Tasks
No full textModeling with mathematics is essential in connecting mathematics to everyday life. In the preparation of teacher candidates, it becomes a mechanism to support the learning of mathematics as well as strengthening pedagogical approaches. This article focuses on a task that engaged teacher candidates in modeling with mathematics. After analyzing how teacher candidates solved problems, we categorized their methods into three categories of approaches. The alignment of the modeling task to the elementary mathe- matics curriculum is highlighted. Benefits of engaging teacher candidates in these types of tasks are also discussed
Genome-wide Data Reinforces the Evolutionary Relationships of Previously Problematic Earless Lizards (Phyrnosomatidae: Holbrookia)
No full textIn the face of anthropogenic change and the potential loss of species, documenting biodiversity – including accurately delimiting species complexes – is of tantamount importance. Genome-wide data are powerful for investigating lineage divergence, though deciding if this divergence represents species-level differentiation remains challenging. Here, we use genome-wide data to investigate species limits in four currently recognized species of Earless Lizards (Phrynosomatidae: Holbrookia), with a focus on H. lacerata and H. subcaudalis, the latter having potentially imperiled populations. This group’s taxonomy has been repeatedly revised; most recently, H. lacerata and H. subcaudalis were elevated to species status using conserved morphological data and a few molecular markers. In this study, we used double-digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing to delineate species limits for our focal taxa. We recovered five populations that corresponded to five well-supported lineages with very little gene flow among them. Our results support the recognition of H. lacerata and H. subcaudalis as two separate species, based on strong phylogenetic support for these lineages and genetic divergence measures that exceed those of currently recognized species within Holbrookia. Genomic methods for species delimitation offer a promising approach to assess biodiversity in taxonomically confounded taxa or organisms of conservation priority
Half of the Diversity Undescribed: Integrative Taxonomy Reveals 32 New Species and a High Cryptic Diversity in the Scopariinae and Crambinae of the Philippines (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
No full textThe Crambinae and Scopariinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) of the Philippines are revised here using DNA barcoding and morphology. In the Scopariinae, 20 species are reported from the Philippines, of which 14 are described as new: Scoparia abo sp. n., S. aenea sp. n., S. bicornuta sp. n., S. fulvida sp. n., S. ifugaoensis sp. n., S. luzonensis sp. n., S. masiita sp. n., S. negrosensis sp. n., S. tenuispina sp. n., Eudonia penicula sp. n., Micraglossa kianganensis sp. n., and Micraglossa polisensis sp. n. In the Crambinae, 42 species are found in the Philippines, with half of them described here as new: Calamotropha anacantha sp. n., Calamotropha philippinensis sp. n., Catoptria philippinensis sp. n., Culladia pseudoscoparia sp. n., Gargela aculea sp. n., Gargela acutibrachium sp. n., Gargela bidentella sp. n. , Glaucocharis altissima sp. n., Glaucocharis hamulus sp. n., Glaucocharis kayumanggi sp. n., Glaucocharis kabundukanis sp. n., Glaucocharis negrosensis sp. n., Glaucocharis uncusellus sp. n., Glaucocharis sungay sp. n., Metaeuchromius makintabus sp. n., Metaeuchromius rizali sp. n., Microchilo bundoki sp. n., Microchilo cebuano sp. n., Microchilo imminutela sp. n., and Microchilo spinosus sp. n. Scoparia philippinensis (Hampson, 1917) and Metaeuchromius micralis (Hampson, 1919) comb. nov. as well as female genitalia of Calamotropha obliterans (Walker, 1863) are redescribed, and first descriptions of male genitalia of Glaucocharis clytia (Błeszyński, 1966) and Calamotropha unicolorellus (Zeller, 1863) are provided. Euchromius brunnealis (Hampson, 1919) syn.nov. is synonymized with Metaeuchromius micralis comb. nov. Culladia tonkinella (Walker, 1865), Eudonia barbipennis (Hampson, 1897), Gargela minuta Song, Chen & Wu, 2009, Gargela polyacantha Li, 2019, Gargela xanthocasis (Meyrick, 1897), Glaucocharis lathonia (Błeszyński, 1966) and Glaucocharis clytia (Bleszynski, 1966) are reported here for the first time from the Philippines. DNA barcodes of 359 specimens indicate a perfect match with the Molecular Operational Taxonomy Unit (“MOTU”) in 45 of the 66 morphospecies (68%), while nineteen of the morphospecies included one or more MOTUs, and three MOTUs were shared among more than one morphospecies. Forty MOTUs represented by females only suggest further unrecognized species in these groups. An apparent endemism rate of 95% is observed in mountain-dwelling Scopariinae, while the Crambinae show a lower endemism rate of roughly 50% presumably due to the occurrence of many lowland species. Further expeditions to undersampled islands and mountains will surely reveal additional species
Palisaded Neutrophilic and Granulomatous Dermatitis-Like Reaction Associated with Wilms Tumor 1 Protein-Derived Peptide Vaccine: A Case and Review of the Literature
No full textPalisaded neutrophilic and granulomatous dermatitis (PNGD) is an inflammatory cutaneous reaction that is associated with underlying autoimmune diseases. In rare cases, PNGD has been attributed to systemic medications. Here we report one case of a cutaneous injection-site reaction that occurred after intradermal administration of an experimental Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) protein-derived peptide vaccine in a woman being treated for recurrent ovarian cancer. This is the first reported case of a PNGD-like reaction associated with immunotherapy injections. In this article, we discuss this case and summarize the literature related to the diagnosis and management of PNGD, as well as other injection site reactions related to immunotherapies and experimental vaccines
Differential Pace: Technology and Inequality in the Making of Episodic Disability
No full textThis article reworks disability frameworks to account for the sustained denial of recognition and care experienced by many episodically disabled people. This reworking is grounded in an ethnographic examination of how people obtain an epilepsy diagnosis in the Midwestern United States. Diagnosis can be straightforward for people whose seizures are witnessed by other people or medical technologies and people who can access specialty care. Others remain undiagnosed for long periods because first-line medical practitioners may not recognize epilepsy due to a confluence of social and technical factors. The article proposes the notion of differential pace to account for temporal relations in the construction and experience of episodic disability. Unpacking the interaction between time, technology, and inequality in patient experience, the article advances disability theory and makes critical contributions to debates in disability studies, the medical humanities, and medical anthropology
