This discussion article provides commenting on the sections of the review paper by Ahmad et al. (the authors) concerning consistency limits determinations for peats and peaty soils, drawing on the writer’s experiences regarding the usefulness of liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) testing/results for these soils in explaining their geotechnical behaviors/properties. From the writer’s experience, despite being regularly specified in geotechnical engineering practice and used in research work, the conventional consistency limits tests generally do not produce physically meaningful results when testing peat soils, especially for more fibrous peats. Hence, the writer does not agree with the authors’ recommendations on consistency limits testing of peats; namely, they recommended that an utmost effort is needed to improve the quality and standard of the thread rolling test and the fall-cone test for consistency limits determinations of highly organic soils such as peat. Rather than grappling with various known inherent shortcomings of consistency limits testing for peats and other highly organic soils, a suggested way forward for assessing the likely geoengineering behavior/properties of these materials points to the routine measurement of a more useful suite of index tests; namely, their natural water content, organic content, fiber content, and humification (decomposition) level. In this discussion, the above aspects are explored in detail, including greater elaboration of the writer’s earlier research work in this area, which was touched on in the authors’ paper.
North Korea’s Ping-Pong Diplomacy? : Revisiting the 1979 Pyongyang World Table Tennis Championships
Kelly Unkyong Hur 이화여자대학교 통일학연구원 2019 Journal of peace and unification Vol.9 No.2
This paper seeks to explore North Korea’s use of sports diplomacy, in particularly pingpong diplomacy with the United States during the Cold War. North Korea and the United States have no diplomatic relations but since the 1970s, North Korea began to explore ways to ameliorate relations with the United States through public diplomacy including by means of sports. By exploring the 1979 World Table Tennis Championships in Pyongyang, this study hopes to expand the discourse on North Korea’s sports diplomacy and examine the process and outcome it had on creating diplomatic avenues for communication, exchange, and engagement with the United States. This article analyzes the failures and successes as well as strategies of North Korea’s ping-pong diplomacy and the impact it had on North Korea’s policy towards the United States.
Virginia Woolf`s Figures of Loss
( Kelly S. Walsh ) 한국근대영미소설학회 2016 근대 영미소설 Vol.23 No.1
Virginia Woolf’s poetics of loss has long been recognized for its contradictory qualities, which make her elegiac works so singular, vital, and open-ended. Her “fiction-elegies” mourn for losses that are past and those that may come to pass; they register the “blows” of loss, both individual and collective, and aesthetically shape them; they use loss as a creative spur in the effort to overcome it and achieve some sort of wholeness. While this complex “grief work” is self-avowedly inconclusive, the consolations partial and temporary, there are, I contend, important, if equally provisional, triumphs at the level of style, through what I am calling Woolf’s figure-language of loss. Words will never be sufficient to recover what has been lost; however, by marshalling tropes, like metaphor and metonymy, imagery and anthropomorphism, into “companies,” Woolf’s figure-language, in intensified moments, pierces through the “cotton wool” of the “conventions of sorrow” and their prescribed forms and meanings. Throughout her major novels, these singular figure-languages both reopen wounds and feelingly contour our thoughts, such that, figuratively, we share in a more authentic response. Consoling and anti-consolatory, the force of this language lies in its capacity to wound, while provoking us to face loss openly, mindfully, and inventively.

Purpose: Rehabilitation science programs utilize cognitive and non-cognitive factors to select students who can complete the didacticand clinical portions of the program and pass the licensure exam. Cognitive factors such a prior grade point average and standardizedtest scores are known to be predictive of academic performance, but the relationship of non-cognitive factors and performance is lessclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to explore the relationship of non-cognitive factors to academic and clinical performance in rehabilitation science programs. Methods: A search of 7 databases was conducted using the following eligibility criteria: graduate programs in physical therapy (PT),occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, United States-based programs, measurement of at least 1 non-cognitive factor, measurement of academic and/or clinical performance, and quantitative reporting of results. Articles were screened by title, abstract, andfull text, and data were extracted. Results: After the comprehensive screening, 21 articles were included in the review. Seventy-six percent of studies occurred in PT students. Grit, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and stress were the most commonly studied factors. Only self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and personality traits were examined in clinical and academic contexts. The results were mixed for all non-cognitive factors. Higher grit and self-efficacy tended to be associated with better performance, while stress was generally associated with worse outcomes. Conclusion: No single non-cognitive factor was consistently related to clinical or academic performance in rehabilitation science students. There is insufficient evidence currently to recommend the evaluation of a specific non-cognitive factor for admissions decisions.
