The Memorial of Prof. William J. Wainwright
No full textEditor’s NoteThe Memorial of Prof. William J. WainwrightThe member of Editorial Board of Journal of Philosophical Theological ResearchWilliam “Bill” Judson Wainwright (1935-2020), a distinguished professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, was the member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Philosophical Theological Research (JPTR).Wainwright is the author of several books in various fields of philosophy, especially the philosophy of religion, and numerous articles and chapters. Monotheism and Hope In God (2020), Reason, Revelation, and Devotion: Inference and Argument in Religion (2015), Religion and Morality (2005), and Heart and Reason (1995) are among his published books.His last published article is “God, Love and Inter-religious Dialogue”1, which was published by the Journal of Philosophical Theological Research in the autumn of 2020. Wainwright gave final approval to his paper but unfortunately could not see its publication. He passed away on November 5, 2020, a few days before we published his article. May he be in peace and God’s grace. I never met him but I understood from my contacts with him that “He was a very kind, respected, noble, and patient philosopher.”We decided to dedicate a special issue titled “Theology, Philosophy, and Ethics”: In Memory of William J. Wainwright to him. I would like to express my gratitude to all the philosophers who accepted my invitation and generously and kindly helped us in publishing this special issue by writing their valuable articles. We hope that Wainwright would be pleased with the publication of this issue.I will end my words with this wish, which was Wainwright’s wish too, that: I wish that the followers of monotheistic religions can establish peace and tranquility in the world through inter-religious dialogue, mutual understanding, and extending their love for God to each other.1.

Return to work with chronic pain: employers' and employees' views
No full textThis conference papers given to the Society of Occupational Medicine's Annual Scientific Meeting discusses tensions and some possible ameliorating activities from our 2013 paper of the same name., published in their journal: Wainwright, E., Wainwright, D., Keogh, E. and Eccleston, C. Return to work with chronic pain: employers’ and employees’ views. Occupational Medicine 2013: doi:0.1093/occmed/kqt109. The conference homepage is here;http://www.som-asm.org.uk/Programme_SOM_ASM.aspAbstractBackgroundThe sickness certification and return to work (RTW) of people with chronic pain are important health and economic issues for employees, employers, taxpayers and the UK government. The ‘fit note’ and a national educational programme promoting RTW were introduced in 2010 to curb rising rates of sickness absence. AimsTo investigate employers’ and employees’ experiences of managing RTW when someone has taken sick leave for chronic pain, and to explore the perceived efficacy of the fit note.MethodsA qualitative study, comprising semi-structured interviews with employers who had managed sick leave cases and employees who had experienced sick leave for chronic pain. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and the data analysed using constructivist grounded theory principles.ResultsFive themes were elicited. Firstly, frequent enquiry after health status was seen as intrusive by some employees but part of good practice by employers and acknowledging this difference was useful. Secondly, being able to trust employees due to their performance track record was helpful for employers when dealing with complex chronic pain conditions. Thirdly, feeling valued increased employees’ motivation to return to work. Fourthly, guidelines about maintaining contact with absent employees were useful if used flexibly. Finally, both parties valued the fit note for its positive language, interrogative format and biomedical authority. ConclusionsThe fit note was perceived to be helpful if used in combination with other strategies for managing sick leave and RTW for people with chronic pain. These strategies may be applicable to other fluctuating, long-term conditions with medically unexplained elements. <br/

Structure and kinetics of oxidation of amphiphilic nickel(II) pentaazamacrocycles by peroxodisulfate and by a nickel(III) pendant-arm macrocycle
No full textThree nickel(II) pentaazamacrocycles bearing pendant alkyl tails have been synthesized, and the crystal structure of one (bearing an octyl tail) is reported. The redox potentials of the complexes, for oxidation of the nickel(II) centre, is 0.72 V (versus S. H. E.) in all cases, indicating that the pendant alkyl tails have no effect on the redox site. The kinetics of oxidation of the complexes by peroxodisulfate, S2O82- and by aqua(5, 5, 7, 12, 12, 14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1-acetato)nickel(III), [Ni(hmca)(OH2)](2+) have been studied. Oxidation by S2O82- occurs by ion-pairing of the reactants, followed by electron transfer with concomitant peroxo bond fissure. Oxidation by [Ni(hmca)(OH2)](2+) occurs by an outer sphere electron transfer process. Redox kinetics at the nickel centre provides a probe for supramolecular interactions at the pendant tails in such complexes.PT: J; CR: ANICHINI A, 1977, INORG CHIM ACTA, V24, L21 BANERJEE P, 1981, Z ANORG ALLG CHEM, V473, P224 BERNHARDT PV, 1990, COORDIN CHEM REV, V104, P297 BLANDAMER MJ, 1980, COORDIN CHEM REV, V31, P93 BRODOVITCH JC, 1981, INORG CHEM, V20, P1667 COOK DF, 1978, INORG CHIM ACTA, V31, P59 COSTAMAGNA J, 2000, COORDIN CHEM REV, V196, P125 CURTIS NF, 1968, COORDIN CHEM REV, V3, P3 CURTIS NF, 1974, AUST J CHEM, V27, P1167 GORE ES, 1973, INORG CHEM, V12, P1 HAINES RI, 1981, COORDIN CHEM REV, V39, P77 HAINES RI, 1992, CAN J CHEM, V70, P2785 HAINES RI, 1993, CAN J CHEM, V71, P976 HAINES RI, 2001, CAN J CHEM, V79, P54 HAINES RI, 2002, REV INORG CHEM, V21, P165 HAY RW, 1997, POLYHEDRON, V16, P2777 HOLBA V, 1987, TRANSITION MET CZECH, V12, P127 HOLBREY JD, 1995, J CHEM SOC DA, P1769 HUTCHINGS DR, 2000, THESIS MOUNT ALLISON LEHN JM, 1985, J CHEM SOC CHEM COMM, P1794 LEHN JM, 1992, J CHEM SOC CHEM COMM, P1434 LINDOY LF, 1989, CHEM MACROCYCLIC LIG MCAULEY A, 1982, J CHEM SOC CHEM COMM, P274 MCAULEY A, 1984, INORG CHEM, V23, P2594 MCAULEY A, 1997, INORG CHEM, V36, P5376 MCAULEY A, 1998, INORG CHEM, V37, P4607 MCAULEY A, 1998, INORG CHEM, V37, P4607 MCAULEY A, 1999, INORG CHEM, V38, P5078 MORIOI Y, 1992, MICELLES THEORETICAL OGURA K, 1984, J CHEM SOC FARAD T 1, V80, P2243 PEROTTI A, 1991, J CHEM SOC DA, P3263 RODOPOULOS M, 2001, INORG CHEM, V40, P2737 SAJI T, 1985, J CHEM SOC CHEM COMM, P865 SUH MP, 1988, INORG CHEM, V27, P2544 SUH MP, 1989, INORG CHEM, V28, P1763 UMEZAWA Y, 1988, ANAL CHEM, V60, P2392 WAINWRIGHT KP, 1997, COORDIN CHEM REV, V166, P35 ZEIGERSON E, 1982, INORG CHEM, V21, P73; NR: 38; TC: 0; J9: J INCL PHENOM MACROCYCL CHEM; PG: 8; GA: 744DUSource type: Electronic(1
Biography and vulnerability: Loss, dying and death in the Romantic paintings of JMW Turner (1775-1851)
No full textCopyright@ 2005 Edward Arnold (Publishers) Ltd.Narratives of suffering and vulnerability are an important theme in western art, the humanities and the social sciences. It is argued here that J.M.W. Turner's pictures, like those of many artists, are biographical tales. The central tenet of Turner's romantic art is the arousal of sensation and Turner's pictures include wonderfully evocative `visual poems' on the human experiences of loss, decline, `the fallacies of hope', grief and death. This paper first explores the connections between Turner's biography and his art through a discussion of several of Turner's key paintings. It then moves on to a more in-depth discussion of two pictures painted by Turner in 1842, when he was 67 years old: Peace — Burial at Sea, and War — The Exile and the Rock Limpet. These paintings can be seen as insightful biographical narratives on the embodiment of vulnerability. In conclusion, it is suggested that Turner's paintings of loss and death are valuable exemplars of the capacity of art to meld together biography, narrative, vulnerability, suffering and embodiment

Nuclear war as false memory
No full textIn this paper Timberlake outlines aspects of his creative practice as an artist, explaining his fascination for the ‘fictions of nuclear war’ – a war that never happened and so became the subject of ‘false memory’. Highlighting discontinued historical trajectories, the author shows how the cultural legacy of Britain’s nuclear test programme of the 1950s and ’60s may be explored meaningfully in paintings and photography resulting from his archival research at the Imperial War Museum in London
