R evision is central to writing.Yet it remains a persistently challenging process to teach.Particularly in first-year writing courses, students often see revision as tedious, onerous, or even overwhelming.Final drafts do not therefore always reflect "deep revision" but oftentimes "surface editing" instead (Breidenbach 202).This is not especially surprising.In our hyper-digital world of constant...

Emerging evidences have shown that one form of mental training-mindfulness meditation, can improve attention, emotion regulation and cognitive performance through changing brain activity and structural connectivity. However, whether and how the short-term mindfulness meditation alters large-scale brain networks are not well understood. Here, we applied a novel data-driven technique, the...

Introduction: During a difficult life event, such as dealing with a chronic health condition, practicing acceptance of the difficulty alters the context in which a person views that difficulty. Acceptance of that difficulty reduces negative avoidant emotions that are key aspects of anxiety and depression. Acceptance is a central training feature of many contemplative practices, such as yoga....

This study presents the concept of qualia, studied by neuroscience as one of the important aspects for the development of a conscious mind, and its association with the contemporary design focused on the subject. With the expansion of the field of design in understanding and extension, the meaning of the word design makes it necessary to review new relations that are formed among the artifact,...

The neologism, ,,Gemütsphilosophie" – roughly: philosophy of mindedness – I coined for this article, following Kant's use of ,,Gemüt" to render the Latin 'animus', and thus avoid opting for one pole of Cartesian dualism by speaking of 'mind' or 'soul'. Likewise my neologism is a precaution against potential errors cloaked by 'philosophy of mind' or 'philosophy of spirit' (,,Philosophie des...

The Internet is an important focus of attention for those concerned with issues of extended cognition. In particular, the application of active externalist theorizing to the Internet gives rise to the notion of Internet-extended cognition: the idea that the Internet can (on occasion) form part of an integrated nexus of material elements that serves as the realization base for human mental...

Awareness and attention to specific parameters that affect the...

The transnational movement of people around the globe has challenged migrants’ belief systems and their quest for well-being. The movement of people in itself is a form of ritual performance, a journey towards a dream and the aspiration to acquire a new sense of self and identity. The goal of this research is to illumine how Filipino migrants living in South Korea reconstruct their ethnicity...
