Hope in Environmental Philosophy
No full textEcological philosophy requires a significant orientation to the role of hope in both theory and practice. I trace the limited presence of hope in ecological philosophy, and outline reasons why environmental hopelessness is a threat. I articulate and problematize recent environmental publications on the topic of hope, the most important worry being that current literature fails to provide the necessary psychological grounding for hopeful action. I turn to the psychology of hope to provide direction for conceptualizing hope and actualizing hoped for states of affairs. If positive moral action is the goal, hope is a vital concept for underwriting ecological philosophy and a practice requiring considerably more attention

Investigation of Superconducting Properties in YBCO Using Proton Irradiation
No full textWe studied the effect of 600 keV proton irradiation on thin-film Cuprate superconductors. A 500 nm thick YBCO-1237 sample was subjected to a series of proton irradiations using Hope College’s particle accelerator, using a cryocooler to test the resistivity of the sample in between irradiations. We found that the superconducting critical temperature (TC) drastically decreased from 90 K towards zero Kelvin, and the normal state resistivity increased accordingly. The rate of TC reduction to resistivity increase will be used to discuss the fundamental property of the superconductor

Harmonizing hope: A grounded theory study of the experience of hope of registered nurses who provide palliative care in community settings
No full textObjective: The purpose of this study was to explore the hope experience of registered nurses (RNs) who provide palliative care services in community settings. The specific aims of the study were to (1) describe their hope experience, (2) develop a reflexive understanding of the processes of their hope, and (3) construct a substantive theory of hope of palliative care RNs. Methods: Using constructivist grounded theory methodology, purposeful theoretical sampling was used to enroll 14 practicing community palliative care RNs in the study. Twenty-seven openended telephone interviews were conducted and nine daily journal entries on hope were copied. Interviews and journals were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Charmaz's grounded theory approach. Results: Participants described their hope as a positive state of being involving a perseverant and realistic understanding of future possibilities. Their hope sustained and motivated them, and helped them to strive to provide high-quality care. The main concern for participants was keeping their hope when faced with work life challenges and contrasting viewpoints (i.e., when their hopes differed from the hopes of others around them). They dealt with this through harmonizing their hope by the processes of \"looking both ways,\" \"connecting with others,\" \" seeing the bigger picture,\" and \" trying to make a difference. \"Their experience of hope was defined within the social context of their work and lives. Significance of results: The results of this study suggest that hope is very important to palliative care RNs, in that it helps them to persevere and sustains them when faced with work life challenges in their practice. This study also highlights the need for continued research in this area as there appears to be a lack of evidence on the meaning of hope for healthcare professionals, and, in particular, understanding hope in the context of palliative and end-of-life care delivery
Transforming hope: How elderly palliative patients live with hope.
No full textHope is important to palliative patients; however, the process by which these patients live with hope is unknown.The purpose of this study was to describe, using a grounded theory approach, the processes by which palliative patients live with hope. Sixteen interviews were conducted with 10 home-care palliative patients (mean age 75 years) in their homes using open-ended questions.The participants defined their hope as expectations such as not suffering more and having a peaceful death.They described their main concern as wanting to “live with hope” and they achieved this through the basic social process of transforming hope.Transforming hope involved acknowledging “life the way it is,” searching for meaning, and positive reappraisal.The results of this study provide a foundation for future research and the development of interventions to engender hope in older palliative patients

Fostering Hope Through Palliative Rehabilitation
No full textCancer patients’ need for rehabilitation is growing, as more and more people live with the long-term consequences of disease and its treatment due to early detection and improved treatment regimens. There are a number of people living with incurable cancer who have symptoms that need to be managed for many years, paralleling long-term conditions. Beyond clinical management, a sense of hope is vital in enhancing their quality of life
