Interview with Kenyon Student, Jamie Smith
Get PDFJamie Smith, a student at Kenyon College discusses how her county, Morrow, used to be more farmland has now become more sub-urban with more and more houses. She discusses how her neighborhood is now an economic option for people who live in Columbus, because it\u27s not too far of a commute. Because of this the farmland in her county has decreased.https://digital.kenyon.edu/ffp_interviews/1035/thumbnail.jp

Organic Gardening and Possibilities for its Implementation at Smith College: An Exercise on the Sustainable Use of Limited Resources
No full textThe focus of this paper lies in the comparison of conventional agriculture methods versus those of sustainable alternative or organic farming, in terms of their impacts on the environment and the sustainable use of limited resources. By looking at the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainable agriculture in comparison to conventional practices, there is an emphasis on approaches that Smith College students could take to further educate themselves on this topic. Specifically, I have investigated possibilities for the implementation of an organically grown student-run garden at Smith College, and the benefits that it would produce for Smith College from a systems level perspective. This paper encourages Smith College students to become involved in what the Five-College Consortium has to offer in terms of educational opportunities geared towards the merits of sustainable alternatives to mainstream, conventional agricultural. The detrimental consequences of conventional agriculture are pervasive and widespread, and this is important for students to understand. Finally, the author urges for the eventual involvement of Smith College students in an alternative methods, student-run community garden on the Smith College campus or in the nearby vicinity
A Posthuman Perspective on Nursing: In Conversation with Jamie Smith and Eva Willis
No full textThis article is an edited version of an online discussion between the editors of this Special Issue, Jamie Smith, and Eva Willis. Jamie is a nurse and sociologist who presented a paper on critical posthumanism and ‘person-centered care’ in nursing at the ‘Medical (Post)Humanities?’ conference held in April 2022. His consideration of nursing practice through a posthuman lens dovetailed with our own interests in the intersection between critical posthumanism and the practices of medicine and this interview stems from the meeting of these concerns. As a sociologist and practicing nurse trained in Germany, Eva Willis offered another perspective on the intersection of posthuman theory and clinical practice, expanding the conversation beyond the British context. The editors met to interview Eva and Jamie online (via GoogleMeet) on August the 17th 2022 and spoke for just under 2 hours. The conversation covered questions about what ‘posthumanism’ means in a clinical space (and how it can be translated across settings), how it informs notions of ‘care’ and ‘death’, and whether it can challenge prevailing ‘evidence-based’ and ‘person-centred’ paradigms operating in medicine.

Chinese Classics: The Commentarial Tradition
No full textChapter Abstract:
Reading texts from the Chinese and Japanese canons, Knight and Smith engage the subtle interplay of classic texts and commentaries, ancient and modern. They find that no classic text is a stand-alone: each inner text has traditionally been read as a dialogue between originating author(s) and authoritative later readers. When we approach these texts, then, we find ourselves part of an explicit, venerable conversation. Knight and Smith focus on five examples: the Sunzi (Sun Tzu) Art of War, the Japanese Zen Master Ikkyū, the great Tang dynasty poet Li Bo (Li Po), the ancient divination text the Yijing (I Ching) or Classic of Change, and the perplexing philosopher Laozi (Lao Tzu), originator of Daoism (Taoism). Reading these texts is like marrying into a very large family, one whose members, allusions, rewritings, irregular knowing and jokes we may appreciate or tolerate to different degrees. No way to control this process!
Book Abstract:
This Is a Classic illuminates the overlooked networks that contribute to the making of literary classics through the voices of multiple translators, without whom writers would have a difficult time reaching a global audience. It presents the work of some of today\u27s most accomplished literary translators who translate classics into English or who work closely with translation in the US context and magnifies translators\u27 knowledge, skills, creativity, and relationships with the literary texts they translate, the authors whose works they translate, and the translations they make. The volume presents translators\u27 expertise and insight on how classics get defined according to language pairs and contexts. It advocates for careful attention to the role of translation and translators in reading choices and practices, especially regarding literary classics.https://scholarworks.smith.edu/clt_books/1004/thumbnail.jp

Images for "Functional Transport of Organic Anions and Cations in the Murine Mesonephros"
No full textThe mesonephros of mammals is a transient renal structure that contributes to various aspects of mammalian fetal development including the male reproductive system, hematopoietic stem cells and vascular endothelial cells. The mesonephros develops from the intermediate mesoderm and forms tubules that are segmented in a similar way to the nephrons of the permanent kidney (but lacking loops of Henle). Early studies have suggested that the mesonephros in marsupials and some placental mammals may perform an excretory function, but these studies have not directly shown active transport of organic anions and cations. Excretory function in the rodent mesonephros has not been investigated. Here, we use live uptake and efflux assays in vitro to show that the murine mesonephros is able to transport organic anions and cations through specific transporters from early in its development. Transcript analysis suggests that there are subtle differences between the transporters involved in uptake and efflux by the murine permanent, metanephric tubules and by the mesonephric tubules. These data suggest that the mammalian mesonephros can provide an excretory function for the early developing embryo, in addition to the excretory function provided by the placenta.Images taken by either Jamie Smith or Melanie Lawrence each in their own subfolder. Within these subfolders, each has a second subfolder with the gestational age at which the mesoephros was studied. Each age has its own third subfolder with each assay type and number of the assay. In each separate assay subfolder are located the images for that assay as a raw data file with both the control or inhibitor-treated image. All the files including can be opened with Fiji or Image J software
