Life is too short to be serious all the time: Donald Duck presents unconventional motivations for publishing in academia
No full textIn this food for thought article, we introduce the ‘Donald Duck Phenomenon’ to consider ten unconventional reasons for publishing in academia. These include (i) symbolic immortality, (ii) personal satisfaction, (iii) a sense of pride, (iv) serious leisure, (v) cause credibility, (vi) altruism, (vii) collaboration with a friend or family member, (viii) collaboration with a hero, (ix) conflict or revenge, and (x) for amusement. The article was inspired by the lead author’s social media search for a co-author with the surname ‘Duck’. Through LinkedIn, the lead author, Associate Professor William E. Donald, who is based in the UK and specialises in Sustainable Careers and Human Resource Management, found a collaborator, Dr Nicholas Duck, based in Australia and specialises in Organisational Psychology. While the collaboration may appear somewhat ‘quackers’, per one of Donald Duck’s famous phrases, “Life is too short to be serious all the time, so if you can’t laugh at yourself then call me… I’ll laugh at you, for you”. We hope that this article offers some interesting insights, particularly for academics at the start of their scholarly journey, and acts as a way to stimulate conversation around unconventional reasons for publishing in academia

Using Ambient Seismic Noise to Determine Short Period Phase Velocities and Shallow Shear Velocities in Young Oceanic Lithosphere
No full textUsing 10 broadband ocean bottom seismometers from the 11-month-long deployment of the Gravity Lineations Intraplate Melting Petrologic and Seismologic Expedition (GLIMPSE) passive seismic experiment located in the south central Pacific, we have estimated the seismic impulse responses from ambient seismic noise for 45 station-to-station paths. The raw impulse responses show moveout with station-to-station distance, and there is a trend of decreasing signal-to-noise ratios as the station-to-station distance increases. The decrease in signal-to-noise ratio is expected as a smaller range of azimuths of propagating surface waves will contribute constructively to the cross-correlated signal with increasing distance, although scattering may also play a role in the coherence of seismic noise at periods less than 16 sec. From these station-to-station paths, we determined group velocities for the fundamental mode Rayleigh waves of a 2–16-sec period and the second mode Rayleigh wave of a 3.5–7-sec period. We calculate phase velocities for the fundamental mode and second mode Rayleigh wave over the same period range as the group velocities by applying a time variable filter to the noise correlation function and carefully unwrapping the phase spectrum of the resulting filtered impulse responses. Within this period range, there is a transition from waves at short periods, whose energy is mostly in the water column, to waves sensitive to crustal and upper mantle structure. The phase velocities for the second mode, which have peak sensitivity in the lower crust and shallow mantle, show evidence for azimuthal anisotropy. The average phase velocities of the station-to-station paths in the east–west direction are 2% faster than the north–south paths at the 4–7-sec period, consistent with the fast directions determined from SKS wave splitting measurements of N100°E. By incorporating the short-period fundamental and higher mode phase velocities from ambient seismic noise with longer period (16–100 sec) fundamental mode Rayleigh-wave phase velocities determined from teleseismic events, we inverted for the average crustal and upper mantle shear velocity structure and water column depth and velocity. The predicted phase velocities are extremely sensitive to the water column compressional velocity. We determined the average water column velocity to be 1466±3 m/sec, in contrast to the average of 1500 m/sec estimated from shipboard measurements weighted according to the Rayleigh-wave sensitivity kernel. The difference may be due to the dispersive effects of scattering by bathymetry or by the thin variable thickness sediment layer. The inversion also produces a Vp/Vs ratio of 1.88 for the crust. This method can provide useful information about the shallow seismic structure of the oceanic crust and uppermost mantle and is an important complement to longer period studies. <br/
Living With Dementia: A Meta-synthesis of Qualitative Research on the Lived Experience
No full textPurpose of the Study: To identify and examine the published qualitative research evidence relative to the experience of\ud
living with dementia.\ud
Design and Methods: Metasynthesis was used as the methodological framework to guide data collection and analysis.\ud
Results: Three themes were identified. The first theme considered the main condition-related changes experienced by people with dementia (PWD) and showed how these are interlinked and impact upon various areas of people’s lives. The second theme indicated that amidst these changes, PWD strive to maintain continuity in their lives by employing various resources and coping strategies. The third theme underlined the role of contextual factors. The reviewed evidence indicates that, the emerging experience of PWD and their potential to adjust to the continuous changes is influenced by access to and quality of both personal and contextual resources which remain in a constant, transactional relationship to each other.\ud
Implications: The findings were interpreted and discussed in the context of relevant theoretical frameworks and research evidence. It was considered that current evidence and findings presented in this review can be further explored and expanded upon in a more systematic way through research conducted within the theoretical framework of dynamic systems theory. Further research would be also beneficial to explore the subjective experience of dementia from a participatory perspective. Exploring the application of these theoretical standpoints would contribute to the current state of knowledge and offer both PWD and carers fresh perspective on the nature of change and potential for adaptability in dementia
Subordinate but equal : the intra-Trinitarian subordination of the Son to the Father in the theologies of P. T. Forsyth and Jürgen Moltmann
No full textIn the New Testament and in the early church fathers’ writings, the Son is understood to be ontologically equal to the Father and subordinate to him. Whether understood as ingenerate-generate, sender-sent, commanded-obedient, subordination shows the distinction between the Father and Son. As seen in church history, minimizing these distinctions can lead to modalism and pressing them too far leads to Arianism.
In the Bible, obedience or subordination does not mean ontologically inferior. Rather, obedience results from faith and love. Although some fathers connected obedience to Christ’s humanity, they were doing so while rejecting the Arian argument that the Son’s obedience meant he was ontologically inferior. They affirmed the voluntary obedience of the Son as an expression of his love for the Father and rejected any sense of coercion or determinism. The doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son from the Father’s ousia held together the equality and subordination of the Son to the Father.
Beginning with Christ’s atoning work rather than metaphysics, P. T. Forsyth and Jürgen Moltmann believe that the Son’s obedience is crucial for the atonement to be the free act of grace of the Sovereign God. Because of this, the Son’s obedience must be divine, and thus eternal. Otherwise, the obedience would be from Christ’s humanity, and humanity would contribute in inappropriate ways to the atonement. They also believe that subordination, obedience, humility, and servanthood complete the understanding of divine love. The unity provided by the same divine love is expressed according to the particularity of the Person. In the Trinitarian relationship, the Son’s eternal obedience is his free response to the Father. Here subordination is not oppression, but perfect love freely given to the perfect Lover.
This fuller conception of divine love that a proper emphasis on obedience affords has great potential to help Trinitarain theology contribute to the elimination of oppression and the improvement of human relationships and to do so in a manner consistent with the biblical witness
Analysis of gravity and topography in the GLIMPSE study region: Isostatic compensation and uplift of the Sojourn and Hotu Matua Ridge systems
No full textThe Gravity Lineations Intraplate Melting Petrologic and Seismic Expedition (GLIMPSE) Experiment investigated the formation of a series of non–hot spot, intraplate volcanic ridges in the South Pacific and their relationship to cross-grain gravity lineaments detected by satellite altimetry. Using shipboard gravity measurements and a simple model of surface loading of a thin elastic plate, we estimate effective elastic thicknesses ranging from ?2 km beneath the Sojourn Ridge to a maximum of 10 km beneath the Southern Cross Seamount. These elastic thicknesses are lower than predicted for the 3–9 Ma seafloor on which the volcanoes lie, perhaps due to reheating and thinning of the plate during emplacement. Anomalously low apparent densities estimated for the Matua and Southern Cross seamounts of 2050 and 2250 kg m?3, respectively, probably are artifacts caused by the assumption of only surface loading, ignoring the presence of subsurface loading in the form of underplated crust and/or low-density mantle. Using satellite free-air gravity and shipboard bathymetry, we calculate the age-detrended, residual mantle Bouguer anomaly (rMBA). The rMBA corrects the free-air anomaly for the direct effects of topography, including the thickening of the crust beneath the seamounts and volcanic ridges due to surface loading of the volcanic edifices. There are broad, negative rMBA anomalies along the Sojourn and Brown ridges and the Hotu Matua seamount chain that extend nearly to the East Pacific Rise. These negative rMBA anomalies connect to negative free-air anomalies in the western part of the study area that have been recognized previously as the beginnings of the cross-grain gravity lineaments. Subtracting the topographic effects of surface loading by the ridges and seamounts from the observed topography reveals that the ridges are built on broad bands of anomalously elevated seafloor. This swell topography and the negative rMBA anomalies contradict the predictions of lithospheric cracking models for the origin of gravity lineaments and associated volcanic ridges, favoring models with a dynamic mantle component such as small-scale convection or channelized asthenospheric return flow. <br/
