The Use of Field Philosophy in Conserving the World\u27s Rarest Ape, the Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus): A Philosophical Engagement With Researchers and Conservationists
No full textThe Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is the world’s rarest ape. Their position on the brink of extinction raises many questions about conservation, existence, and agency. To explore these issues and draw attention to this Critically Endangered primate, I considered the Hainan gibbon from the perspective of field philosophy (i.e., philosophy carried out in the field with non-philosophers). I conducted semi-structured interviews with eight researchers/conservationists and analyzed their creative works. I collected additional information through a systematic literature review. I asked four research questions: (1) Based on their lived experiences, how do researchers and conservationists understand the Hainan gibbon? (2) how does this understanding affect Hainan gibbon conservation? (3) how do researchers and conservationists perceive extinction and loss in the context of the Hainan gibbon? And (4) what agency does the Hainan gibbon have in its own survival/conservation and death/extinction? The results reveal a story of hope (Hainan gibbons continued survival and agency) and loss (Hainan gibbons’ position on the brink of extinction), and that participants’ lived experiences shaped their perceptions of Hainan gibbon conservation and extinction. Overall, field philosophy offered critical reflection and new perspectives on Hainan gibbon conservation. This philosophical endeavor created a space to consider Hainan gibbons beyond biology and ecology, taking seriously their agency and loss, which will work to bridge empathy across species boundaries

College Students\u27 Perceptions of Autistic Peers: A Study of Gender and Stigma
No full textDue to the increased prevalence of both the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and academic support for it, it is more likely than ever before for young adults on the spectrum to attend some form of post-secondary education. While previous research has been conducted on college students’ openness to and willingness to interact with an autistic peer, there have been no examinations on whether the gender of the peer influences these factors. This study examined the potential impact of both gender (male, female, non-binary) and stated diagnosis (ASD, social anxiety, no diagnosis) on participant perceptions of a vignette character. While no significant differences were found between groups, participants who reported having a relationship with either an autistic individual or one with social anxiety (i.e., coworkers, friends, family members) generally reported significantly more positive perceptions of the vignette character
Conformational analysis of selected [2.2]heterophanes: A comparison of stereochemical switching via computational chemistry
Get PDFConformational switching of selected [2.2]heterophanes was investigated by computational chemistry. Analyses were carried out by various methods, including Conformational Search in HyperChem, and forced conformational transformations with Energy Profile in Spartan. Stable anti and syn conformers arising from flipping of aromatic rings within the molecules were observed. The activation energies of the ring flipping process, as well as dipole moments and directions, were obtained by molecular mechanics. The present work shows that simple computational techniques can be employed to screen certain compounds as potential candidates for molecular machinery. Thus, heterophanes demonstrated reversible shifts between two or more configurations which are energetically stable and have different electronic properties, constituting a basic requirement for possible applications as molecular switches
“I will be respectful of the scheduled time.”: Hegemony, Productivity, and Time
Get PDFAlthough time is a topic that humans have discussed at length for ages, only recently have sociologists examined time and its relationship to society. The goal of this study aims to investigate the relationship between the time schemes of individuals in everyday life to the macrostructures under dominant control. The study uses qualitative in depth interviews and found (1) a common sense of productivity permeates everyday life and interactions (2) respect and timeliness are linked through expectations of productivity (3) people change their expectations about timeliness given certain contexts. This work suggests that more research is needed that takes into account how everyday routines are embedded and reinforced through hegemonic time
