This book is the first comparative study of English, German,
French, Russian and Hungarian anti-proverbs based on well-known
proverbs. Proverbs are by no means fossilized texts but are
adaptable to different times and changed values. While
anti-proverbs can be considered as variants of older proverbs, they
can also become new proverbs reflecting a more modern worldview.
Anti-proverbs are therefore a lingo-cultural phenomenon that
deserves the attention of cultural and literary historians,
folklorists, linguists, and general readers interested in language
and wordplay.
This book examines stereotypical traits of women as they are
reflected in Anglo-American anti-proverbs, also known as proverb
transformations, deliberate proverb innovations, alterations,
parodies, variations, wisecracks, fractured proverbs, and proverb
mutations. Through these sayings and witticisms the author
delineates the image of women that these anti-proverbs reflect, her
qualities, attributes and behavior. The book begins with an
analysis of how women's role in the family, their sexuality and
traditional occupations are presented in proverbs, and presents an
overview of the genre of the anti-proverb. The author then analyses
how this image of women is transformed in anti-proverbs, sometimes
subverting, but often reinforcing the sexist bias of the original.
This engaging work will appeal to students and scholars of humour
studies, paremiology, gender studies, cultural studies, folklore
and sociolinguistics alike.
This Edited Volume engages with concepts of gender and identity as
they are mobilized in research to understand the experiences of
learners, teachers and practitioners of physics. The focus of this
collection is on extending theoretical understandings of identity
as a means to explore the construction of gender in physics
education research. This collection expands an understanding of
gendered participation in physics from a binary gender deficit
model to a more complex understanding of gender as performative and
intersectional with other social locations (e.g., race, class, LGBT
status, ability, etc). This volume contributes to a growing
scholarship using sociocultural frameworks to understand learning
and participation in physics, and that seeks to challenge dominant
understandings of who does physics and what counts as physics
competence. Studying gender in physics education research from a
perspective of identity and identity construction allows us to
understand participation in physics cultures in new ways. We are
able to see how identities shape and are shaped by inclusion and
exclusion in physics practices, discourses that dominate physics
cultures, and actions that maintain or challenge structures of
dominance and subordination in physics education. The chapters
offered in this book focus on understanding identity and its
usefulness in various contexts with various learner or practitioner
populations. This scholarship collectively presents us with a broad
picture of the complexity inherent in doing physics and doing
gender.
With a new foreword by Nora Volkow, Director of the National
Institute on Drug Abuse, this second edition of Office-Based
Buprenorphine Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder provides updated
information on evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder
(OUD)-an increasingly important topic as the epidemic of opioid
misuse and overdose deaths grows in the United States. Bulleted
clinical pearls at the end of each chapter, as well as specific
clinical recommendations and detailed case discussions throughout,
make it easier for readers to retain knowledge and integrate it
into their clinical practice. The guide also features sample
documentation and scales, including a treatment contract and a
patient consent, that can be used to model documents in practice.
This new edition of Office-Based Buprenorphine Treatment has been
updated to reflect DSM-5 language, and two additional chapters have
been included: one that addresses other pharmacotherapies useful in
treating OUD, including methadone and naltrexone, and another that
discusses OUD treatment specifically with regard to women's health
and pregnancy. Among the numerous other revisions included in the
second edition are the following: * Information about new
formulations of buprenorphine* A discussion of the Comprehensive
Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA)* Changes to induction and
maintenance target doses and recommendations for home inductions*
Information on diversion control plans* Advice for working with
Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous* A discussion on
integrating buprenorphine into residential and inpatient opioid
treatment programs This edition can also be used to complete the 8
hours of qualifying training required for the buprenorphine waiver.
By a thorough reading of the material covered in the chapters of
this book and successful completion of the posttest, physicians can
meet the buprenorphine waiver training requirement. Written in a
jargon-free style that does not require expertise in substance use
disorder treatment, Office-Based Buprenorphine Treatment of Opioid
Use Disorder is an accessible, indispensable reference for primary
care physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, residents,
medical students, and anyone with an interest in learning about and
prescribing buprenorphine.
The perceived value of philosophy to medical education is
increasing. But beyond the occasional application of philosophical
concepts, what does it mean to be philosophical about medical
education and to do philosophy—to create new concepts and ways of
thinking about what medical education is? The complex and dynamic
nature of academic medicine requires medical educators to reflect
on their practices, to question assumptions, and to embrace the
ambiguity of a world that cannot be captured by any one model or
theory. This volume explores philosophy as a practice in medical
education. We use persistent problems that vex medical educators as
a starting point to do philosophy, asking fundamental questions to
probe them: How are teaching and learning related? How do we
educate the value of personal experience relative to scientific
evidence? We also challenge the assumptions underlying these
problems with alternatives: What if teaching does not cause
learning? What if we cannot divide our inner and outer world? We
then explore ways forward: If we cannot cause learning, how do we
reconceptualize the educational process? How do we help physician
trainees critically reflect on medical epistemology throughout
their professional development? Each chapter explores one theme in
medical education (e.g., education, science, inequality,
technology, mortality) from a philosophical perspective, opening it
up to fundamental re-examination and inviting readers to continue
exploration beyond the printed words. This book is a step towards
enabling medical educators to practice philosophy themselves at
appropriate moments in their work. In this way, it aims to
establish medical education as a mature field with its own
philosophy. The chapters in this book were originally published in
the journal Teaching and Learning in Medicine.
The expression "to come out of the closet" calls for an analysis of
how language and notional as well as social spaces interact and
intersect to constitute "queer". This performative book, a product
of artistic research, is an exploration of the proverbial closet
through linguistics, queer, and postcolonial theory. It is a
project in which opacity, minority, and improvisation happen on the
levels of content, analysis, and typography. Eleven queer slangs
from around the world become part of an exploration of queerness
and knowledge from the Periphery through autoethnography, Edouard
Glissant's concept of opacity, Jose Munoz's disidentifications, and
Gloria Anzaldua's performative writing. Theory, personal accounts,
and art are interwoven to offer an interdisciplinary reading of the
slangs as queer methods of survival and resistance.
