Teaching ethics:intersectionality, care failure and moral courage
Highlights• Provides a critical discussion of ethics teaching arguing that it must recognise begin to recognise frameworks from outside the Anglo-European tradition.• Drawing on examples of care failure, racism and sexism, argues that there is evidence that some nurses struggle to practice in accordance with ethical guidance.• Identifies intersectionality, the culture of practice and moral courage as fundamental to enabling nurses to practice in accordance with ethical guidance• Presents a case for an approach to applied approach ethics education, which recognises the complexity and diversity of practice
Short timescale behavior of colliding heavy nuclei at intermediate energies
An Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics model is used to explore the collision
of Cd projectiles with Mo target nuclei at E/A=50 MeV over a
broad range in impact parameter. The atomic number (Z), velocity, and emission
pattern of the reaction products are examined as a function of the impact
parameter and the cluster recognition time. The non-central collisions are
found to be essentially binary in character resulting in the formation of an
excited projectile-like fragment (PLF) and target-like fragment (TLF).
The decay of these fragments occurs on a short timescale, 100t300
fm/c. The average excitation energy deduced for the PLF and TLF
`saturates for mid-central collisions, 3.5b6 fm, with its magnitude
depending on the cluster recognition time. For short cluster recognition times
(t=150 fm/c), an average excitation energy as high as 6 MeV is
predicted. Short timescale emission leads to a loss of initial correlations and
results in features such as an anisotropic emission pattern of both IMFs and
alpha particles emitted from the PLF and TLF in peripheral collisions.Comment: 19 pages, 17 figure
