Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Drinking Water from the Greater Accra Region, Ghana
With safely managed water accessible to only 19% of the population in Ghana, the majority of its residents are at risk of drinking contaminated water. Furthermore, this water could be a potential vehicle for the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study assessed the presence of bacteria and the antibiotic resistance profile of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in drinking-water sources using membrane filtration and Ki…
“Understanding the Architecture of Human Thought”? Questioning the Mathematical Conception of Nature with Heidegger
New technologies, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), are currently touted as, not only giving us a better picture of the structure of the brain, but also a better understanding of our thinking. As Alan Snyder demonstrates when he claims his aim is to understand the ‘architecture of thought’ by investigating the brain. Against this backdrop, I will argue that new technologies present a…
Steps towards evidence‐based foot‐care for children
Allied health professionals (AHPs) working with children need the appropriate knowledge, skills and experiences to provide high-quality care. This includes using research to drive improvements in care and ensuring that knowledge and practices are consistent and build upon the best available evidence. The aim of this work was to understand more about the shared behaviours and opinions of health professionals supporting children's foot health care;…
The Freedom of Thought
Patočka highlights the central role of Cartesianism in our tradition of thinking. Yet, today, brain scientists often claim to have overcome Cartesian dualism. In this paper, I argue that the Cartesian conceptions of human nature and sensory perception remain presuppositions of brain science, where perception is largely equated with thinking. Equating perception and thinking means that thinking is a determined process, which leads to an erosion of…
The Phenomenological Critique of Mathematisation and the Question of Responsibility
Now that's a fair dinkum academic debate, but this affects people's lives’
In recent years increasing media attention has highlighted the possibility that antidepressants may cause many disturbing side effects, including suicide. However, coverage of these issues has been criticised as negatively affecting people who suffer from depression. Employing the methods of discursive psychology, this paper examines how arguments are constructed for and against providing information about the full range of side effects of antide…
Women and Abortion in 1930s Britain
This paper examines over 3,000 questionnaires on abortion that were distributed through the National Birthday Trust Fund, a non-governmental orrganization, to working-class women in municipal hospitals in 1930s Britain. The aim of the survey was to "discover the proportion of induced to spontaneous abortions". Although the study was abandoned due to weaknesses in its design, the collected data contain a mass of detailed information about the live…
