Health Concepts in Medicine and the Role of Philosophy
Philosophy of MedicinePhilosophers interested in medicine and healthcare research should focus on the choice of health concepts. Conceptual choice is akin to conceptual engineering but, in addition to assessing whether a concept suits an objective, or offering a better one ...

Technology, Normativity, and the Future: the Aristotelian Turn [PDF]
, 1997 In our postmodern era all certainties seem to have gone. Neither the idea of progress nor standard ethical theories have apparently retained enough power to guide humanity. As a result, technologists find themselves in a paradoxical situation. While they

Must Realists Be Pessimists About Democracy? Responding to Epistemic and Oligarchic Challenges [PDF]
, 2021 In this paper we show how a realistic normative democratic theory can work within the constraints set by the most pessimistic empirical results about voting behaviour and elite capture of the policy process.

Exploring Video Feedback in Philosophy [PDF]
, 2016 This paper explores the benefits of video feedback for teaching philosophy. Our analysis, based on results from a self-report student survey along with our own experience, indicates that video feedback possesses a number of advantages over traditional ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A multimaterial approach is introduced to improve upon auxetic structures by combining two different polymers into the same reentrant honeycomb structure via additive manufacturing. The deformation behavior as well as the resulting Poisson's ratio are thereby improved significantly.

Hole Transfer Dynamics in Thin Films of Mixed‐Dimensional Quasi‐2D Perovskites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Charge transfer dynamics in quasi‐2D perovskite (PEA2MAn−1PbnI3n+1), grown with a distinct dimensionality gradient are investigated. Selective excitation of the n = 4 phase reveals efficient hole transfer to n = 2 and n = 3 within tens of picoseconds, while n = 1 acts as a hole‐blocking layer. These findings highlight the importance of minimizing n = 1

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
