"They brought you back to the fact you're not the same": Sense of self after traumatic brain injury
This paper considers contexts following traumatic brain injury, exploring what may be at stake when dominant expectations predict a âlostâ or âbrokenâ self. I explore stories co-constructed with one young man and his mother to illustrate their personal and intersubjective understandings of identity, at times conflicting, within family interactions and when encountering normative practices of neurorehabilitation clinicians. The ower relations portrayed confront this manâs narrative attempts to align his present and pre-injury self, including standard assessments delineating change, administered by healthcare professionals. I consider a need for greater attention to interaction-generated disruption to sense of self, wthin contemporary conceptualisations of âperson-centred careâ

Research Challenges Involving Coupled Flows in Geotechnical Engineering
Coupled fluid, chemical, heat, and electrical flows are common phenomena that arc relevant to a wide variety of applications in Geotechnical Engineering, including the use of engineered clay barriers for waste containment, electro-osmosis for soil consolidation, highly compacted bentonite buffers for high-level radioactive nuclear waste disposal, and electrokinetics for soil contaminant removal. among others. For all of these applications, a fundamental understanding of coupled flow phenomena is required, including the basis of the various phenomena. the potential effect of the phenomena on fundamental soil behavior, and the applicability of the phenomena in both natural and built environments. This chapter highlights some of the advances over the past approximate three decades, including the effects of osmotic phenomena (chemico-osmosis, electro-osmosis, and thermo-osmosis) on the mechanical behavior of clays, the formulations and measurement of coupled flow phenomena, the distinction between phenomenological and microscopic (physical-based) formalisms, and considerations with respect to both saturated and unsaturated soil conditions. Based on the description of these advances, research challenges pertaining lo the study of coupled flow phenomena for Geotechnical Engineering applications are identified
