Podcast: Towards a Tranformative Epistemology of Technology Education
No full textThis podcast, recorded by the author of the paper, discusses some of the key thinking and ideas in: Morrison-Love, D. (2016) Towards a transformative epistemology of technology education. Journal of Philosophy of Education, Vol 50, Issue 4 (In Press). Core ideas include the relationship between technical activity, materials and the metaphorical paradigm of technology as an enhancement to human capability. Ultimately, it is argued that pupils’ technological knowledge arises in no small part, from their navigation of an ontological pathway through which they realise solutions to problems in a physical form

Growth management and open space protection in Arizona : current tools and progress
Full text linkabstract: Four major statewide "tools" to help manage growth and preserve open space have been put to work in Arizona over the past five years. These include the Arizona Preserve Initiative and the closely-related Proposition 303, as well as the Growing Smarter Act and its "addendum," Growing Smarter Plus. All four tools are based in large part on a concept known as "smart growth," which is generally considered to be a set of growth management measures that attempt to strike a balance among issues of economics, environment, and quality of life. Taken together, these four growth management tools make significant changes in the way that (a) city and county governments plan and regulate their lands, (b) citizens play a role in land use issues, (c) state trust lands are managed, and (d) open space may be acquired and preserved. Many of these changes will have long-term effects for the state. This paper provides a brief overview of each of the four growth management/open space tools, a preliminary accounting of major activities each one has stimulated, and a perspective on what can be expected for the future as expressed by a selection of growth planners and other leaders of growth management in Arizona.Copyright by the Arizona Board of Regents for and on behalf of Arizona State University and its Morrison Institute for Public Polic

A politics of conversion: nihilism and love in Toni Morrison's fiction
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras.O estudo Uma Política de Conversão: Niilismo e Amor na Ficção de Toni Morrison começa com a idéia de que a Literatura Afro-Americana apresenta um sentido de auto-reflexividade e hibridismo, através do qual autobiografia dialoga com romance, o espiritual se funde com o político. A partir deste traço dialógico a auto-reflexividade é politicamente estabelecida entre niilismo e amor. Na política de conversão, o estudo analisa as formas como mulheres negras, individualmente ou em grupo, fogem da escravidão para a liberdade, avançam da individualidade para a coletividade, ou substituem niilismo por amor. Metodologicamente o estudo apresenta sete capítulos. O primeiro discute os aspectos dialógicos que ilustram as conexões entre narrativas espirituais, de escravos e ficção, entre espiritualidade e política. O segundo examina o diálogo entre a conversão, pregação pública e formação da comunidade em Diário e Experiências Religiosas de Lee. O capítulo sugere que ao afirmar espiritualidade e humanidade a narradora abre profundo espaço para a mulher negra reclamar direitos civis. O terceiro discute o diálogo no interior da política de conversão entre narrativa de escravos e ficção. Este diálogo lida com niilismo e amor em Incidentes de Jacobs e Amada, Sula e O Olho Mais Azul de Morrison. Para a análise de niilismo e amor valores individuais e coletivos são considerados em relação a cinco aspectos: ambiente e agente antagonistas, agente de apoio, propósito da personagem e resultado alcançado. É visível, no estudo, o apoio que certas mulheres recebem de suas comunidades para contra-atacar antagonistas. O apoio nem sempre resulta na superação do niilismo e, por isso, derrota temporária pode ocorrer antes que elas sejam reintegradas à comunidade, como acontece com Linda Brent. O quarto capítulo examina as fraquezas e as energias da política da conversão e a reintegração de Sethe Suggs à comunidade de Bluestone Road. O quinto avalia como a comunidade de Bottom tenta controlar a individualidade de Sula Peace e como um grupo de mulheres lideradas por Nel Wrights consegue resgatar o espírito de independência da heroína. O sexto mostra como a política da conversão das mulheres de Lorain é incapaz de garantir a saúde mental de Pecola Breedlove, mas consegue criar um papel mais consistente para o grupo. No sétimo, a conclusão examina da relação dialética entre niilismo e amor ou auto-amor nas experiências dos indivíduos e dos grupos. O estudo sugere que em Incidentes a busca de Linda Brent por liberdade envolve elementos de autodestruição e de autoempoderamento. Da mesma maneira, o estudo conclui que em Amada o amor que Sethe Suggs tem para as suas crianças mata a própria filha, enfatizando, assim, o desejo de livrá-la da escravidão. Igualmente em Sula, a individualidade de Sula Peace não apenas limita, mas também expande as experiências do grupo, levando-o à emancipação. Finalmente, em O Olho Mais Azul a luta de Pecola Breedlove por amor e beleza reflete auto-ódio ao mesmo tempo em que reconstrói a auto-apreciação de toda a comunidade

Reflecting on the role of emotions in the PhD process
Full text linkThis research project examined the role of emotions in the PhD process through an exploratory, qualitative, self reflective study by six recent or current PhD candidates. Despite differences in the nature of the PhD fields of study, and in the personal backgrounds of the participants, a number of common themes were recognised. We developed an interactive workshop for postgraduate students in which participants were asked to reflect on their emotional experiences in their own studies. The combined information from these sources was used to suggest some strategies for management of negative emotions that may arise during the PhD process. Of critical importance is the multiple roles of the PhD supervisor in helping manage the negative emotions that most PhD students inevitably experience at some stage in their candidature. Most important, though, is the role of self reflection in identifying potential emotional problems and their solutions; a process we recommend to PhD candidates and supervisors
An excitatory projection from median preoptic area to the dorsomedial hypothalamus contributes to the activation BAT thermogenesis (1104.28)
No full textDisinhibition of brown adipose tissue (BAT) sympathoexcitatory neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH), by reduced discharge of their input from GABAergic, in the preoptic area (POA), is thought to be a key step in the cold-defense and febrile activations of BAT sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and BAT thermogenesis. Here we present evidence supporting the hypothesis that a population of median preoptic area (MnPO) neurons projecting to the DMH provides the excitatory drive to DMH neurons that is essential for cold-defense and febrile BAT thermogenesis. To determine if the MnPO contains putative BAT thermogenesis-promoting neurons that are activated during cold exposure and project to DMH, we injected the retrograde tracer, CTb into DMH and exposed the rats to a cold (10°C) ambient temperature to elicit BAT thermogenesis. We observed a larger number of c-fos and CTb immunoreactive neurons in the MnPO of cold-exposed rats than in those maintained at 25°C, confirming the existence of cold-activated neurons in MnPO that project to DMH. In urethane/chloralose-anesthetized, Wistar rats, bilateral nanoinjection of the GABAA agonist, muscimol (120nl, 1mM), into the medial preoptic area (MPA), a region containing warm-sensitive neurons, did not decrease cold-evoked BAT SNA, consistent with the hypothesis that the MPA is not the source of DMH excitation required for BAT thermogenesis. However, subsequent nanoinjection of muscimol (120nl, 1mM) into the MnPO completely reversed cold-evoked BAT SNA. Moreover, in other experiments, the activation of BAT SNA following PGE2 nanoinjection into MPA was also inhibited by muscimol nanoinjection into MnPO. These data demonstrate that the MnPO contains essential thermogenesis-promoting, BAT sympathoexcitatory neurons
