Preliminary study on the neural mechanisms of four tone recognition in deaf children using fMRI by Qiang Li, Yuan Meng, Qiuli Li, Heng Zhao, Shiyu Li

“…Nevertheless, children suffering from hearing impairment encounter difficulties in recognizing vocal intonation patterns, primarily stemming from their auditory deficits. In 2020, a study conducted at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital in Tianjin, China, recruited five deaf children and two children with normal hearing (male; mean age = 10.21 ± 0.4 years) to compare the differences between deaf and normal children in four Chinese tone recognition tasks. …”

Dennett and Posthumanism: A Defense of the Program to Naturalize Mind from Posthumanist Suspicions of Wolfe by Dimas Aditya Wicaksono

“…Although Dennett is generally regarded as someone who contributed to moving cognitive science away from the Cartesian tradition, Wolfe considers him to have fallen back into the Cartesian mode of thinking due to his view of the cognitive difference between humans and non-human animals, namely by referring to humans’ ability to reflect on behavior, externalize cognitive functions, and stabilize the concept of self through representational capacity facilitated by language. …”

Re-Examining Intimate Partner Violence: Feminist Social Work Reflections by Meenu Anand, Gunjan Chandhok

“…Offering an insight into and questioning the concomitant edifices of violence inherent within the intimate marital relationships, the authors put forth arguments to interrogate the unique factors that impact women's experiences and understandings of the abuse and demonstrate how gendered discourses function to polarize women's sexuality. The authors argue that violence both stems from and perpetuates gender differences and disparities and embodies lived experience where one can see the ubiquity and reproduction of male dominated gender relations (Wendt & Zannettino, 2015). …”
