![]() ![]() Mid-20th century theoretical developments that elucidate the society-environment nexus in disasters ought to have been advancements, yet remain fixated with Parsons-reminiscent structural functionalism (Kreps & Drabek, 1996 Alexander, 2000). For its advancement and operationalization, a research design framework that features nuances of Indigenous contextualization and engendering, positioning structural functionalism as a heuristic, and evaluating and selecting complementary theories to interface, among others has been proposed. Featuring the research context of Indigenous peoples in typhoon-prevalent Batanes Province in the Philippines, the complex dynamics of Indigenous resiliencies in light of new uncertainties of climate change require more novel elucidatory approaches through theoretical pluralism. Praxis principles in interdisciplinarity, as espoused in theoretical pluralism, also prescribes disaster research to adopt pragmatic, practitioner-centric imperatives to effect change. Theoretical pluralism borrows from the epistemological tenet of interdisciplinarity, where climate change complexities can be more effectively analyzed upon fusing diverse disciplinary lenses, or theories in this case, than elucidating with only structural functionalism on hand. Employing multiple theories, rather than solely relying on structural functionalism, is a more robust and effective approach. *Best Paper Award for the Contribution to Theory AbstractĬlimate change-exacerbated disasters and its rapidly evolving multi-dimensional complexities render structural functionalism, the most common theory in understanding the social roles, functionality, and resiliency nexus, as incommensurate. ![]() ![]() 38 Transcending from Structural Functionalism to Theoretical Pluralism in Disaster Research ![]()

![]() According to a Dutch study ( Ververs et al., 2006), 2% of childbearing parents take antidepressants (ADs) during pregnancy. ![]() Therefore, it is important to treat perinatal depression by choosing safe treatment for the pregnant parent and the unborn child after careful consideration.Ī descriptive drug utilization study on six European regions found that a weighted average of 2.5% of pregnancies in the period 2004–2010 were exposed to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) ( Charlton et al., 2015). ![]() This association may be caused by unhealthy lifestyle and poor adherence to prenatal care by depressed parents, which could harm both parent and child. Untreated severe depression during pregnancy has been associated with increased incidence of adverse birth outcomes such as premature birth and low birth weight ( Bonari et al., 2004 Meltzer-Brody, 2011). The rate of depression during pregnancy is approximately 17% according to a meta-analysis on 15 studies from year 2000–2016, with rates ranging between 4.8% and 33.2% ( Underwood et al., 2016). The extent to which depression in the pregnant parent could cause mental disorders such as ADHD in offspring, and the mechanisms involved, should be investigated in further studies. This perceived association may be caused (at least partially) by confounding by indication. The present study provides further evidence that an association between in utero AD exposure and ADHD in offspring might not exist. The secondary analyses revealed no statistically significant associations either. This indicates no increased risk of ADHD in offspring following in utero exposure to ADs. After adjusting for the birth date of the child (as a proxy for the date of pregnancy), age of the pregnant parent at birth, use of psychostimulants, opioids, and antiepileptic drugs by the pregnant parent in the 15 months before birth of the child, an adjusted OR of 1.11 (95% CI 0.67–1.83) was found for the risk of ADHD in the offspring when exposed in utero to ADs. Exposure rate to ADs among cases and controls was 2.2% and 2.4%, respectively. In total, 2,833 children (1,304 cases and 1,529 controls) were included in the analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Secondary analyses were performed to assess the effects of the degree of exposure (the amount of Defined Daily Doses) and the type of AD exposed to. Exposure was defined as at least two prescriptions for any AD during pregnancy, i.e., the period of 39 weeks before the birth date of the offspring. Children receiving medication for ADHD (cases) before the age of 16 years were matched to siblings not receiving such medication (controls). To control for unmeasured factors between pregnancies carried by the same parent, we set up a case-control sibling study using the University of Groningen prescription database. However, the association might be confounded by risk factors in the pregnant parent. Recent studies have reported an association between antidepressant (AD) use during pregnancy and the risk to develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the offspring. ![]() ![]() realize that the Mega Moles brought other people to their lair, trapping them, Mario realizes his fate before finishing the book, leading to a Game Over. Mario then looks at the books before grabbing a book called Mega Moles In The Mist by Diane Flossy. Once they arrive at the Mega Moles' cave lair, the Mega Moles continue stuffing the plumbers with food, before weighing them down with "gifts". After "befriending" the Mega Moles by singing old plumbing songs and exchanging cookie recipes, Mario and Luigi have a plan to go in their cave and load up on supplies, before bursting through the castle with the help of the Mega Moles. Later in the swamp, if Mario and Luigi don some Mega Mole costumes (which are covered with matted gray fur), six real ones will approach the two with gifts. Some Mega Moles appear among the crowds at the International Dino-Flying Derby in Flown the Koopa, and eye Mario and his friends hungrily when the show ends. Choosing the wrong path will lead to a Game Over, when Mario blindly falls into a watery pit inhabited by a Blargg. If Mario chose the right path, he remembers that Mega Moles have poor eyesight and steps out the way making the Mega Moles go by as he escapes. If Mario goes deeper in the cellar, he meets three more Mega Moles that sniff him before biting him and chasing Mario, attempting to eat him. ![]() Some more Mega Moles can be encountered the basement of a decrepit mansion, where two furry objects can be seen in the distance blocking the exit sign. The other dinosaurs (including Yoshi) will turn out to be Mega Moles in disguise, and will surround Mario after removing their costumes, they proceed to eat Mario offscreen which leads to a Game Over. ![]() In the Nintendo Adventure Book Dinosaur Dilemma, if Mario offers a basket of apples to Yoshi and some dinosaurs he finds near Lake Trilobite, a Mega Mole will burst out of the dinosaur costume seizing Mario's sleeve. In a Mario Paint-themed chapter from volume 5, Lemmy Koopa is able to make a crudely drawn version of Mega Mole as well as other Super Mario enemies using the SNES Mouse before they are quickly defeated by Mario and Yoshi. As the Blargg retreats into the lava, the Mega Mole re-emerges shortly after with the Blargg attached to its head. After the Blarrg attacks Mario and his friends, the Mega Mole jumps into the Blargg's mouth, clogging it. They use it cross the lava until a Blargg comes, explaining that they were sent to kill the Mega Mole for betraying the Koopa Troop. The Mega Mole then leads Mario and his friends through a cave to find the exit, stumbling across a Skull Raft. The Mega Mole then falls into a pond, but Mario is able to use his Frog Suit and a Power Balloon to help carry the Mega Mole out of the water. The Mega Mole tells them that he was left behind by his co-workers. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi land on top of the Mega Mole after Yoshi eats the underground map. Mega Moles appear throughout the first nine volumes of Super Mario-kun.Ī friendly Mega Mole has a major role in the ninth chapter of volume 1. The friendly Mega Mole in volume 1 of Super Mario-kun They later encounter and defeat a group of three Mega Moles while traveling through Valley of Bowser 1. Mega Moles first appear in the third Super Mario World volume, in which Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi fall onto an enlarged Mega Mole trapped in a cage made out of ! Blocks, which Yoshi eats. ![]() Mega Moles appear in several volumes in the Super Mario Kodansha manga, occasionally appearing in cameos in volumes based on Super Mario Bros. In the remake, if Yoshi eats a Mega Mole and spits it out while Luigi is riding him, a unique sprite of it facing the screen (thus resembling Monty Mole's jumping sprite) can be seen as it rolls along the ground. While most enemies merely result in the loss of Yoshi when getting hit by them, a few others, including Mega Moles, both hurt Mario and force Yoshi to run away. Despite their size, they can be eaten and swallowed by Yoshi. Unlike regular Monty Moles, they do not pop out of holes in the ground. Standing on a Mega Mole's head is not a danger by itself, and will allow Mario or Luigi to ride it. Like other enemies, they are also immune to hazards such as Munchers and spikes. They are invulnerable to Mario and Luigi's jump or Spin Jump moves as well as Fire Mario or Luigi's fireballs, but can be defeated by using Caped Mario or Luigi's spinning attack, a Super Star, a Grab Block, or a Shell. In Super Mario World and its remake, Mega Moles are exclusively found underground, appearing in Chocolate Island 4, Valley of Bowser 1 and Valley of Bowser 2. ![]() ![]() ![]() The reliability of findings obtained using these maneuvers are controversial, and they are not frequently used by physicians in daily practice. Usefulness of Vocal Fremitus and Vocal Resonance in Daily Clinical Practice Select sound frequencies are able to pass through consolidation and tend to distort the sound of the vowel "E" so that it is perceived by the examiner as "A" or "AAAH." Whispered pectoriloquy has the same significance as increased fremitus and adds no new information to those approaches.Įgophony or an "E to A" change: A qualitative change in the voice that resembles the bleating of a goat. Whispering pectoriloquy: While the examiner auscultates over the lung fields, the patient is asked to whisper "one, two, three." Whispered words are heard clearly in the presence of consolidation. īronchophony: A louder sound heard over an area of consolidation. The following changes in vocal resonance are seen. ![]() Vocal resonance is the auscultatory counterpart of vocal fremitus. On the other hand, inflammation and consolidation create a dense medium which increases the transmission of lower frequency sounds and vocal fremitus. Vocal fremitus also may be decreased in individuals with obesity. ![]() In case of pleural effusion and pneumothorax, air/fluid accumulates in the potential space between the chest wall and lung parenchyma, decreasing the transmission of lower frequency sound vibrations. Vocal fremitus is decreased in bronchial asthma, emphysema, or bronchial obstruction due to air trapping and decreased density of lung parenchyma. Vocal fremitus may be decreased in conditions affecting the lung parenchyma, pleura, or chest wall. Air is a poor conductor of low sound frequencies whereas a solid or dense medium increases the transmission of low sound frequencies. Normal lung parenchyma is a mixture of air-filled spaces and solid lung parenchyma. Transmission of spoken tones depends on the state of the underlying lung parenchyma in the pleural space. Sound vibrations produced in the larynx during phonation are transmitted to the bronchi and lungs and then communicated to the chest wall. Vocal (tactile) fremitus is palpation of the chest wall to detect changes in the intensity of vibrations created with certain spoken words in a constant tone and voice indicating underlying lung pathology. Palpation ascertains the signs suggested by inspecting and assessing the state of the pleura and lung parenchyma by studying the vocal fremitus. Chest inspection, palpation, and auscultation are key components of the physical examination of patients with respiratory disease. ![]() ![]() ![]() These side activities aren’t that difficult and follow a similar pattern.

He truly understood how our precious American society hinges on the attitudes of working whites and how intransigent their racism and disdain of nonwhite people must be. Thomas Foy played Second Man in a way that shunned and insulted every character except First Man. Ben Shaw played First Man in a stern, powerful, agitated way that represented the arrogance I think Professor Sanchez intended. Each actor portrayed their character with a force and dedication that I am most appreciative of. I hoped that audiences see Carl's ultimate refusal to play the rigged game of the American free market and learn to reject similar outgrowths or structures in their own life. This is why I chose to direct this play at this time. In her explanation of the play, Jacqueline Wood said that the positioning of Shigeko and Carl against unnamed white male figures of determination and the play's indeterminate ending allows Sanchez to interrogate struggles which continue to confront oppressed peoples across American society. Shigeko is a peacemaking character who strives to please First Man, but at the same time she moderates Carl's anger at how the game is rigged. Upon giving Carl the Queen of Spades a third time in the play, First Man said: "I knew you weren't expecting it and I couldn't resist the temptation." This speaks to the sadist nature of white privilege and racist oppression that First Man exacts on Carl. ![]() As I said in my note in the program, the triumph of Carl is his refusal to play the rigged game that ensures that anybody Black who tries to play the game, which represents the American free market, will be made to feel like the loser. The play's drama arises from Carl's fighting the role that First Man and Second Man have proscribed for him. He identifies himself to First Man as a Black capitalist and believes that by his being that, First Man and Second Man will let him win but they don't. Since the object of Hearts is to have the lowest hand, First Man and Second Man essentially conspire to ensure that Carl will get this card and never win the game. They ensure that Carl never wins by giving him the Queen of Spades, which is the card with the highest value. You have the Poet who represents artists who balk at the game that First and Second Man rig to make sure that Carl never wins. You have Carl, the Black capitalist and the main character of the play who is desperately trying to win in the metaphoric game of hearts in this game. You have Shigeko, a Hiroshima maiden who represents the immigrant experience but in Professor Sanchez's language in this play, Shigeko specifically represents the Japanese immigrant. You have First Man and Second Man who represent white privilege and white power. The play is basically a card game of hearts where the players represent members of wealth and power according to their race in American society. I love how it shows in a simple way American racial hierarchy or hegemony. ![]() I read it and I absolutely fell in love with it. That same year, Duke University Press published an edited collection of Professor Sanchez's plays which gave me the opportunity to actually read the play Dirty Hearts. In another interview with Joyce Ann Joyce in 2005, Professor Sanchez said that she has never seen Dirty Hearts performed (203). ![]() I first got interested in this play after reading an interview Professor Sanchez had with Jacqueline Wood in Joyce Ann Joyce's edited collection in a book called "Conversations With Sonia Sanchez." Professor Sanchez told Jacqueline Wood that "its a play that looks at how men and women deal with each other in the midst of destructive attitudes twoards them" (139). Second by the very dedicated cast who took their notes diligently and who gave their best in rehearsals and in their performances. ![]() First by the brevity and clarity of Professor Sanchez's poetic writing that is filled with as much strong political meaning as it is with rhythm.
