The resurrection of the author
No full text81 leaves ; 29 cmIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 76-81).In The Resurrection of the Author, Daniel Trainor-McKinnon supports a form of intentionalism by arguing that intentions and meaning are metaphysically separate from artworks. This form of intentionalism is what he calls externalist intentionalism, which is the theory of art interpretation that holds that intentions are often relevant (though not always necessary) to understanding artworks. Because it holds this, externalist intentionalism is an adequate response to both the anti-intentionalist objection that artists' intentions are inadmissible in critical examinations of artworks because they are external to those artworks, and the neo-Wittgensteinian intentionalist claim that intentions are internal properties of artworks. A consequent study of allusion shows that some features of art are dependent on intentions for their existence and correct interpretation, while a concluding section examines externalist intentionalism's compatibility with evaluative criticism
Fortissat Science Alliance podcast: Conor McKinnon and Jade McMorland
No full textConor McKinnon and Jade McMorland were PhD students at the University of Strathclyde working on development of renewable energy. They took part in the Fortissat Science Alliance podcast recordings in July 2021.What is the Fortissat Science Alliance?The Fortissat Science Alliance was a Wellcome Trust & Children In Need "Curiosity" project. This scheme provided informal STEM learning opportunities for young people who attended the community centre Getting Better Together Shotts (GBT Shotts) between 2019 and 2023. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, deliveries had to pivot online so the podcast was founded. These recordings were made via Zoom with warm-up STEM activities sent to every young person in advance, along with a profile page for each researcher, so that they were relaxed and able to ask excellent questions.Link to episode on Spotify.Depending on the broadcast date, podcast deliveries were co-sponsored by Glasgow Science Festival, EXPLORATHON 2021, or EXPLORATHON 2022/23.For the duration of the project, it was supported jointly by Children in Need and the Wellcome Trust. In 2021, EXPLORATHON episodes were supported by the European Commission [grant agreement ID 101036101]. In 2022-23, EXPLORATHON episodes were supported by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number EP/X020894/1]. Author contributions to contentConor McKinnon and Jade McMorland were the guests featured on this episode. Rebecca Hay was the youth worker coordinating the young people who conducted the interviews as well as co-editing and broadcasting the recordings. Iain Hamilton co-edited the episodes. Kirsty Ross was the STEM consultant for the project and uploaded completed episodes to Figshare.</p

Caudal rami subquadrate, approximately 1.2 times as long as wide (Fig. 46 C), about 0.7 times as long as anal somite; each ramus with distinctive globose protuberance at insertion of lateral seta. Each ramus with three setae. Antennulary length 0.32 mm. Antennules relatively short, representing 27 % of total body length, and 55 % of cephalothorax length; 5 -segmented, all segments separated, with segment 5 located distal to geniculation (Fig. 47 B). Length ratio of antennulary segments, from first to fifth 18.1: 21.9: 10.8: 28: 21.2 (= 100). Setal element 1 on first segment absent in both antennules (position arrowed in Fig. 47 B). Antennulary elements 2 v 1 -3, 2d1,2 remarkably long, slender; element IId present on second segment. Setal elements IIId, IIIv, and 3 present on third segment; latter element remarkably long, slender, almost reaching distal margin of fourth segment. Fourth segment with elements 4 d1, 4v 1–2 present; setal elements IVd and IVv present in specimen. Fifth segment with 5 “b”-group setae, elements b 1-3 dichotomously branched distally. According to Huys et al. (2007) setal nomenclature of the distal segment, elements A, B and 1–6 present. Apical elements 1 and 2 spiniform, remarkably long, curved, equally long (Fig. 47 B). Incorporated first pedigerous somite and succeeding three pedigerous somites each bearing well-developed biramous legs. Pedigerous somites 2–4, together accounting for 32 % of total body length in dorsal view. Intercoxal sclerites of legs 1–4 subrectangular, surface with pattern of finely spinulose subquadrate fields, posterior margin smooth. Bases of legs 1–4 with hair-like lateral seta (Fig. 47 C–E); on leg 3, this seta about 3.3 times longer (Fig. 47 E). Endopods and exopods of legs 1–4 triarticulated. Ramal setae all biserially plumose except spiniform outer seta on exopodal segments 1 and 3. Inner seta of first exopodal segment absent, segment with spiniform process on distal margin (Fig. 47 F). Outermost distal spines on third exopodal segment of legs 1–4 short in leg 1, 0.2 times as long as segment; element longer in legs 2–4, half as long as segment. Outermost apical exopodal setae of legs 1–4 with inner margin setulose, outer margin naked. Female: unknown. Type locality. Western Port Bay, Victoria, Australia (38 ° 35.344 ’ S, 144 ° 59.687 ’ E). Etymology. The species is warmly dedicated to Mario Eduardo Suárez Gasca, son of the first author (ES-M). Diagnosis. Cymbasoma with cephalothorax representing less than 50 % of total body length; midventral oral papilla located at 21 % of cephalothorax length. Cephalic region with anterior medial protuberance. Fifth antennulary segment with apical elements 1 and 2 (sensu Huys et al 2007) spiniform, remarkably long, equally long. Genital double-somite with moderately expanded lateral margins. Anal somite with pair of large, distinctive ventral protuberances visible also on dorsal view. Caudal rami each with conspicuous globular process at insertion of outer seta. Genital complex of Type II; genital lappets wide, subtriangular, asymmetrical; right lappet ornamented with minute dentiform processes; left lappet with sinuous proximal inner margin. Bifurcate process at common basal joint of lappets. Remarks. This species is easily recognizable by several unique characters not present in any other known species of Cymbasoma. The conspicuous ventral protuberances on both the anal somite and the caudal rami are probably the most striking feature of this species. Among the Monstrilloida, a modified caudal ramus has been observed in the genus Australomonstrillopsis, displaying medial and distal lobes, but in the anal somite is not modified in this genus. Also, the genital complex, which is type II (Suárez-Morales & McKinnon 2014), is remarkable for the distinctive medial process between the genital lappets, which is subtriangular with a distal notch; this condition is clearly different from the flat margin or sharply rounded processes found in other species of Cymbasoma. Also, the long, apical elements 1 and 2 (sensu Huys et al. 2007) on the last antennulary segment are also very unusual. In most species these elements are short and in other cases only one of them is elongate, as in C. williamsoni Khan, 1976 (Khan 1976: fig. 3 B), C. tumorifrons (cf. Suárez-Morales 1999), C. tropicum (cf. Sewell 1949), C. gracile (cf. Gurney 1927), C. spinapex (cf. Isaac 1974), and C. quintanarooense (cf. Suárez-Morales 2000 a).Published as part of Suárez-Morales, Eduardo & Mckinnon, David, 2016, The Australian Monstrilloida (Crustacea: Copepoda) II.

The species name is dedicated to Prof. Rafael Martínez, former teacher of Biology at El Colegio del Tepeyac, who inspired the first author’s (ES-M) early interest in natural sciences.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> <i>Cymbasoma</i> with long cephalothorax, representing 68% of total body length, third antennulary segment representing more than 45% of antennule length, with ventral protuberance on cephalic area between antennule bases and oral papilla. Genital double-somite with small proximal and larger medial protuberances. Anal somite with medial constriction. Fourth leg with short, 2-segmented exopod and modified, dwarfed distal setae (this diagnostic character should be confirmed in other specimens of this species). Fifth leg with elongate, subrectangular outer lobe with three distal setae, inner lobe represented by weak inner expansion of outer lobe, unarmed.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> This species has a remarkably elongate, slender cephalothorax which represents almost 70% of the total body length. This character is shared with only a few other species of the genus including some species of the <i>C. longispinosum</i> -group, like <i>C. chelemense</i> (<i>cf.</i> Suárez-Morales & Escamilla 1997) and <i>C. morii</i> Sekiguchi, 1982 (<i>cf.</i> Grygier 1994), but also <i>C. frondipes</i> (Isaac, 1975), <i>C. gigas</i> Scott, 1909 (<i>cf.</i> Suárez-Morales 2001c), <i>C. gracile</i> and <i>C. reticulatum</i> (<i>cf.</i> Giesbrecht, 1893). It differs from species of the <i>C. longispinosum</i> species-group by the presence of ovigerous spines that are separate at their bases as opposed to proximally fused spines as is always the case in this group. Also, the inner lobe is usually well defined in all species of the <i>longispinosum-</i> group (see Üstün <i>et al</i>. 2014).</p> <p> The fifth leg, with the inner lobe very weakly developed, represented by a marginal expansion of the outer lobe, is similar to that of <i>C. reticulatum</i>, <i>C. bali</i> Desai & Krishnaswamy, 1962, and <i>C. striifrons</i> Chang, 2012. In two of these species the three setae of the fifth leg outer lobe are equally long and wide (Giesbrecht 1893; Desai & Krishnaswamy 1962: fig. 10), whereas the innermost seta is shortest in <i>C. striifrons</i> (Chang 2012). In <i>C. bali</i> the exopodal setae of the fifth leg are subapical (Desai & Krishnaswamy 1962) and they are apically inserted in the new species. In addition, the body proportions are different in <i>C. bali</i> and the new species. In addition, <i>C. reticulatum</i> can readily be distinguished among other species of the genus by its reticulated cephalosome and antennules, a character absent in the new species. Also, the shape of the genital double-somite is different in these species with that of <i>C. reticulatum</i>, <i>C. bali</i>, and <i>C. striifrons</i> having the lateral margins moderately produced, rounded (Giesbrecht 1893; Desai & Krishnaswamy 1962; Chang 2012), whereas in the new species the anterior half has two lateral processes (see Fig. 11 E) and the posterior half has straight margins. The dorsal surface bears striae in both <i>C. striifrons</i> (Chang 2012) and the new species. The most striking character of <i>C. rafaelmartinezi</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is the 2-segmented exopodal ramus of the third leg, which is usually three-segmented in monstrilloids; and with distinctive armature comprising a short, naked apical spiniform seta in contrast to the usual very long setulated or spinulated seta; one subdistal seta is modified, with its proximal half forming two linear lobes and the distal half being whip-like and spinulate. This kind of modified seta has not been described in any other species of the genus.</p>Published as part of <i>Suárez-Morales, Eduardo & Mckinnon, David, 2016, The Australian Monstrilloida (Crustacea: Copepoda) II.

Life in the gayborhood: safety, difference and change in the urban gay neighbourhood
No full textQueer spaces have shaped modern gay identities, but they have not been without contradiction and complexity. As ‘safe’ spaces for homosexual people, they have also been places in which lesbians and gay men have been the targets of homophobic abuse and violence. As spaces in which difference is celebrated, they have also been rejected by gay people who don’t see themselves as different at all. As spaces over which gays and lesbians can claim some ongoing ownership, that ownership is always challenged and the meanings of these spaces are also always changing.
Scott McKinnon reflects on the changing role of queer space in Sydney\u27s gay neighbourhoods in his review essay on Amin Ghaziani’s book There Goes the Gayborhood? in the Australian Review of Public Affairs.

Anal somite 2.6 times as long as preanal somite, with proximal constriction. Three caudal setae.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The male of <i>C. leighrandalli</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> differs from the other Australian <i>Cymbasoma</i> by having smooth genital lappets and a flat margin with a notch between the lappets. The other species have a rounded medial process, basal spines or rows of large or small spinules along the inner margin, as in <i>C. quadridens</i> (<i>cf.</i> Suárez- Morales & Pilz 2008), and the Australian <i>C. colefaxi</i>, <i>C. annulocolle</i>, and <i>C. pseudoquadridens</i>. A flat medial margin between lappets is present in other congeners like <i>C. rigidum</i>, <i>C. longispinosum</i>, <i>C. thompsonii</i> (<i>cf.</i> Sars 1921), <i>C. chelemense</i> (<i>cf.</i> Suárez-Morales & Escamilla 1997), and <i>C. quintanarooense</i> (<i>cf.</i> Suárez-Morales 2000). Among this group of species, only <i>C. rigidum</i> has a constricted anal somite (Sars 1921). These two species share other characters including similar body proportions, a long anal somite being about twice as long as the preanal somite, and a similar structure and length of both genital lappets. Comparison with Sars’s (1921) redescription of <i>C. rigidum</i> reveal differences in several other important characters such as the oral papilla which is weakly developed and located at 22% of the cephalothorax length in the new species whereas it is normally developed and situated more posteriorly, at 33% of the cephalothorax length in <i>C. rigidum</i>. In <i>C. leighrandalli</i> the distal antennulary segment is short, robust and has a short apical element 2 (<i>sensu</i> Huys <i>et al</i>. 2007), whereas the same segment is slender and has a remarkably long apical element 2 <i>C. rigidum</i> (cf. Sars 1921). <i>Cymbasoma rigidum</i> (<i>cf.</i> Sars 1921) lacks a corrugate frontal process, a character present in the new species (Fig. 58 C). The constriction of the anal somite is medial in <i>C. rigidum</i> (<i>cf</i>. Sars 1921) whereas it is located on the proximal 1/3 of the somite in <i>C. leighrandalli</i> (Fig. 58 E). Also, four caudal setae are present in <i>C. rigidum</i> and three in the new species.</p>Published as part of <i>Suárez-Morales, Eduardo & Mckinnon, David, 2016, The Australian Monstrilloida (Crustacea: Copepoda) II.

Pair of relatively large ocelli present, pigment cups moderately developed, medially conjoined, weakly pigmented; ventral cup and lateral cups equally sized (Figs 5 E, F, 7 C). Cephalic area with flat “forehead”, ornamented with shallow transverse striations (Figs 5 C–F, 7 C) with pair of sensilla (Fig. 5 C). Symmetrical rounded protuberances at both sides of flat forehead. Low ventral rounded protuberance ornamented with transverse striae (arrowed in Figs 7 A, B) in one specimen, protuberance not observed in the other specimens (Fig. 5 A). Additional cephalic cuticular ornamentation including transverse, shallow cuticular ridges overlying posterior surface of oral region on dorsal surface. Ventral surface with additional features including: 1) transverse striations between the antennulary bases and oral papilla, lighter striation on post-oral surface; 2) pair of symmetrical nipple-like processes on anterior ventral surface at each side of oral area (Figs 5 C, D, F, 7 B). Urosome consisting of fifth pedigerous somite, genital double-somite and anal somite, together representing 15 % of total body length. Relative lengths of urosomites (fifth pedigerous, genital double and free somite) 37.5: 43.5: 19 = 100, respectively. Genital double-somite with smooth dorsal and ventral surfaces (Figs 6 A, 7 D, 8 B); with low ventral process on anterior margin (Figs 7 D, 8 B). Caudal ramus subrectangular, 1.2 times longer than wide, armed with three subequally long, sparsely setulated caudal setae (Fig. 7 E, F). Ovigerous spines paired, relatively short, 45–50 % of total body length (0.51–0.57 mm) (Figs 5 A, 7 A). Spines basally separated, slender, straight at their base and along shaft, without distal expansions and tapering apically, one spine slightly shorter; spines 0.35–0.40 mm long in two specimens (Figs 5 A, 7 A).

Endopods and exopods of legs 1–4 triarticulated. Ramal setae all biserially plumose except spiniform outer seta on exopodal segments 1 and 3, and inner seta of first exopodal segment, these latter being short, slender, and sparsely setulated. Spine on distal exopodal segment of right leg 4 noticeably short (Fig. 6 D). Also, outermost apical exopodal setae of legs 1–4 with inner margin naked, outer margin spinulose. Armature formula of legs 1–4: Fifth legs medially conjoined, bilobate, inner (endopodal) lobe elongate, digitiform unarmed, rounded distally, reaching about ¾ the length of outer lobe. Outer (exopodal) lobe elongate, slender, armed with two subequally long setae on distal position (Figs 5 B, 7 E, 8 A). Male: unknown. Type locality. Corinella, Western Port Bay, Victoria, Australia (38 ° 23.115 ’S, 145 ° 25.371 ’E). Etymology. The species is named after William J. Dakin, first author of one of the most influential contributions on Australian marine zooplankton (Dakin & Colefax 1940), which includes the earliest records of Australian monstrilloids. Diagnosis. Cymbasoma with third antennulary segment representing more than 40 % of antennule length, with dorsal and ventral fringes of cuticular striation on cephalic area. Paired cephalic protuberances on both sides of flat forehead area. Fifth leg with two setae on elongate outer lobe, inner lobes digitiform, unarmed, slightly asymmetrical. Anal somite not constricted. Ovigerous spines representing 45–55 % of total body length. Remarks. This species belongs to a group of Australian Cymbasoma in which the female fifth leg bears two setae on the outer lobe and a naked inner lobe. This is an unusual character among species of Cymbasoma. It is known only in C. agoense Sekiguchi, 1982 from Japan and in some of the Australian species included in this work. In some cases like in C. nicolettae Suárez-Morales, 2002 or C. thompsonii (cf. Sars 1921), the innermost seta is very small, slender and could be overlooked during casual observation, but this is not the case in the Australian species. Two setae on the fifth leg are known also in a few species of Monstrilla, like M. leucopis Sars, 1921 (Suárez-Morales 2010), M. helgolandica Claus, 1863 or M. hamatapex Grygier & Ohtsuka, 1995. The new species differs from its congeners sharing this relevant character in having a conspicuous dorsal field of wrinkles on the cephalic area, and a long fifth leg inner lobe, barely reaching the distal margin of the outer lobe. This lobe is relatively short and robust in C. agoense (cf. Sekiguchi 1982: fig. 6 F) and the body shape and proportions are clearly different in these two species. It differs from the other Australian congeners in the presence of a narrow, long digitiform inner lobe, an unconstricted anal somite, a genital double-somite with rounded lateral margins and a low anteroventral protuberance. The inner lobe of the fifth leg is clearly shorter in Cymbasoma sp. (Fig. 70 D) and also in C. lourdesae sp. nov. (Fig. 24 D) and in C. tharawalorum sp. nov. (Fig. 65 C). The genital double-somite has a different shape in C. lourdesae (Fig. 24 E) and in C. tharawalorum (Fig. 65 D). Also, the antennulary segments 3– 4 are fused in C. lourdesae (Fig. 24 C) whereas they are separated in the new species C. dakini. In C. tharawalorum the antennules are distinctly compressed (Fig. 65 B), thus differing from the antennule of C. dakini sp.nov.Published as part of Suárez-Morales, Eduardo & Mckinnon, David, 2016, The Australian Monstrilloida (Crustacea: Copepoda) II.

Pursuing concordance: moving away from paternalism
No full textIn the second of two articles exploring the value and application of concordance across nursing practice the discussion is aimed at clinical settings and patient groups where concordance may have been viewed as impractical. The author harnesses Cribb and Entwhistle's broader conception of shared decision making and the notion of decision-making capacity as a continuum to argue that concordance can be pursued effectively in challenging settings such as childcare practice, mental health and the care of older people. As in the first paper (McKinnon, 2013) the discussion is not limited to medicines management but remains engaged with all aspects of nursing practice. Legal and ethical frameworks, social participation theory and research across healthcare practice are sourced to argue for concordant approaches in the care of patients who may at times have compromised decision-making capacity. Ideas of direct and indirect concordance are explored. © 2014 MA Healthcare Ltd.</p

Archaeological and biological examination of “The Mystery Wreck” (8MO143) off Vaca Key, Monroe County, Florida: A Report Submitted to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in Fulfillment of a NOAA Maritime Heritage Program Mini-grant
No full textDuring the summer of 2004, the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research Underwater Archaeology team undertook a project to relocate, assess, and record thirteen of the shipwrecks of the 1733 Spanish Plate Fleet in the Florida Keys. One source of background information that they used was a commercially available videotape entitled “Galleon Hunter,” produced by Don Ferguson. Aside from the 1733 wrecksites, the video features another site, locally known as “the Mystery Galleon,” that was shown to Ferguson by local diver Stefan Sykora. Using location numbers supplied in Ferguson’s video, Roger Smith, Della Scott-Ireton, and Dave McCampbell relocated the site in Hawk Channel, off the city of Marathon. Later, the site further was examined by Smith, Jennifer McKinnon, and Jason Raupp, who made initial sketches, still photos, and video recordings.ReportSubmitte
