Discursive Approach

Los editores del libro plantean un enfoque original en tanto combina, por una parte, lo preconizado por el enfoque lógico-discursivo (Laclau, 2005), y por otra, el enfoque socio-cultural/performativo. Y es en esta combinación de propuestas donde se visualiza el aporte, pero también, la tensión del escrito. Es un aporte, en tanto viene a “superar” una concepción del populismo que se basa, principalmente, en su capacidad articulativa, formal, otorgándole un contenido cultural pero también político. Se apunta, entonces, a entender cómo opera el significante pueblo, las prácticas identitarias entre el líder y sus seguidores, y principalmente, a identificar cuáles son los elementos culturales y sociales que dan forma a una construcción hegemónica. Es en estos aspectos, donde el “contenido” cuenta y mucho. Con todo, la tensión está presente en la medida que lo performativo puede ser entendido como una performance o como el acto de creación de la cadena equivalencial, que superaría la construcción del discurso populista.

The purpose of this article is to report the details of the humanbecoming hermeneutic sciencing of presence in In Harm’s Way. Humanbecoming hermeneutic sciencing is dialoguing with an artform by discoursing with penetrating engaging, interpreting with quiescent beholding, and understanding with inspiring envisaging. The artform explored in this article is the comments and images of 60 nurses from around the world included in The New York Times story titled “In Harm’s Way.” The report is on the meaning of presence as lived and talked about by nurses on the front lines at the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Sepsis And Septic Shock

Objective: To determine whether the coding strategies used to identify severe sepsis in administrative data sets could identify cases with comparable case mix, hospitalization characteristics, and outcomes as a cohort of children diagnosed with severe sepsis using strict clinical criteria. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using data from 2005 to 2011 from the New York and Florida State Inpatient Databases, available from the US Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. We compared 4 coding strategies: the single International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ( ICD-9-CM) codes for (1) severe sepsis or (2) septic shock, and the algorithms developed by (3) Angus et al or (4) Martin et al, which use a combination of ICD-9-CM codes for infection and organ dysfunction. We compared the cases identified by each strategy with each other and with children enrolled in the REsearching severe Sepsis and Organ dysfunction in children: a gLobal perspectiVE (RESOLVE) trial. Results: The Angus criteria was 9 times larger (n = 23 995) than the smallest cohort, identified by the “septic shock” code (n = 2 601). Cases identified by the Angus and Martin strategies had low mortality rates, while the cases identified by the “severe sepsis” and “septic shock” codes had much higher mortality at all time points (eg, 28-day mortality of 4.4% and 7.4% vs 15.4% and 16.0%, respectively). Mortality in the “severe sepsis” and “septic shock” code cohorts was similar to that presented in the RESOLVE trial. Conclusions: The ICD-9-CM codes for “severe sepsis” and “septic shock” identify smaller but higher acuity cohorts of patients that more closely resemble the children enrolled in the largest clinical trial of pediatric severe sepsis to date.

Before And After

This paper examines information policy in libraries before and after the tragic destruction of the Twin Towers in New York, New York, on September 11, 2001. It carefully considers libraries’ role in the history of intellectual freedom in the United States and on an international scale. It investigates the rocky road that citizens from almost all countries have traveled in attempting to gain open access to information throughout modern history. It appraises some of the advances certain areas of the world have made in regard to intellectual freedom. The paper also investigates some areas of the world that are still confronting various degrees of censorship today. The paper then discusses the effect September 11, 2001 had on intellectual freedom and libraries. It scrutinizes the USA Patriot Act that was quickly passed in the United States in response to the terrorist attack. In addition, the paper explores other legislation from around the world that was enacted in direct reply to September 11, 2001.

AbstractThe present article takes a global perspective on the diasporic networks of Indian revolutionaries that were emerging on the eve of the First World War. It looks particularly at three important headquarters of their activities, namely London, New York and Tokyo. The narrative is centred on the ‘India Houses’ that were opened in these three cities and served as the institutional umbrella units for the revolutionary schemes. Finally, the political alliances forged and the ideological resources tapped in these three settings are sketched out and briefly analysed. The case study makes two points: to begin with, it is important to extend historical scrutiny beyond the geographical bounds of India to fully grasp the development of Indian nationalism in this first peak time of globalization; second, the existence of the sophisticated transnational anti-imperial propaganda networks that are the focus of this study raises doubts about the alleged watershed character of the First World War as the ‘global moment’ that decisively shook the imperial world order. The year 1905, it is argued, was at least as important in this regard.
