  2. Article ; Online: Simplicity, one-shot hypotheses and paleobiological explanation.

    Currie, Adrian

    History and philosophy of the life sciences

    2019  Volume 41, Issue 1, Page(s) 10

    Abstract Paleobiologists (and other historical scientists) often provide simple narratives to explain complex, contingent episodes. These narratives are sometimes 'one-shot hypotheses' which are treated as being mutually exclusive with other possible explanations of the target episode, and are thus extended to accommodate as much about the episode as possible. I argue that a provisional preference for such hypotheses provides two kinds of productive scaffolding. First, they generate 'hypothetical difference-makers': one-shot hypotheses highlight and isolate empirically tractable dependencies between variables. Second, investigations of hypothetical difference-makers provision explanatory resources, the 'raw materials' for constructing more complex-and likely more adequate-explanations. Provisional preferences for simple, one-shot hypotheses in historical science, then, is defeasibly justified on indirect-strategic-grounds. My argument is made in reference to recent developments regarding the K-Pg extinction.

    Abstract The special issue Creativity, Conservatism & the Social Epistemology of Science collects six papers which, in different ways, tackle 'promotion questions' concerning scientific communities: which features shape those communities, and which might be changed to promote the kinds of epistemic features we desire. In this introduction, I connect these discussions with more traditional debate in the philosophy of science and reflect upon the notions of creativity which underwrite the papers.

    Abstract Existential risks, particularly those arising from emerging technologies, are a complex, obstinate challenge for scientific study. This should motivate studying how the relevant scientific communities might be made more amenable to studying such risks. I offer an account of scientific creativity suitable for thinking about scientific communities, and provide reasons for thinking contemporary science doesn't incentivise creativity in this specified sense. I'll argue that a successful science of existential risk will be creative in my sense. So, if we want to make progress on those questions we should consider how to shift scientific incentives to encourage creativity. The analysis also has lessons for philosophical approaches to understanding the social structure of science. I introduce the notion of a 'well-adapted' science: one in which the incentive structure is tailored to the epistemic situation at hand.

    Abstract Background: Recurring therapy resistant hives, accompanied by IgM-gammopathy, fever and joint pain can indicate Schnitzler syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder. There is currently no approved treatment, but complete remission of symptoms can be induced with IL-1 antagonists.
    Case presentation: A patient with a history of chronic urticaria presented frequently at the outpatient clinic with severe hives and was treated unsuccessfully with antihistamines and omalizumab. After several years, additional symptoms such as joint pain, recurrent fever, and IgM-gammopathy developed. After the diagnostic criteria for Schnitzler syndrome were met, treatment with anakinra was initiated and resulted in an improvement of the symptoms. Shortly after the first injection, the patient developed large and painful erythematous lesions at the injection sites, leading to discontinuation of treatment and a rapid recurrence of symptoms. Subsequently, treatment with a longer-acting IL-1 antagonist (canakinumab) was initiated, resulting in a complete remission of symptoms.
    Conclusion: This case report demonstrates that patients with urticarial symptoms that are not relieved by typical treatments should prompt repeated reassessments of the diagnosis, even years later, because gammopathy and other diagnostic criteria for Schnitzler syndrome can occur with a delay.

  6. Article ; Online: Sport Psychiatry and Its Research Agenda.

    Abstract Athletes commonly experience mental health symptoms. However, prevalence estimates require refinement so that symptoms are interpreted in context and diagnostic labels are accurately applied. Further prevalence studies are also needed in subgroups within sport, in particular female athletes, athletes with disabilities, and coaches. Existing consensus-based and evidence-based therapies must be adapted not only to the individual athlete but also to the ecology of sports. Filling the gaps in our knowledge on what treatment modifications may be required for the individual athlete and how services should be designed to deliver treatment most effectively will require well-designed studies that use standardized terminology and defined outcome measures.

  7. Article: Ethnographic analogy, the comparative method, and archaeological special pleading.

    Abstract Ethnographic analogy, the use of comparative data from anthropology to inform reconstructions of past human societies, has a troubled history. Archaeologists often express concern about, or outright reject, the practice--and sometimes do so in problematically general terms. This is odd, as (or so I argue) the use of comparative data in archaeology is the same pattern of reasoning as the 'comparative method' in biology, which is a well-developed and robust set of inferences which play a central role in discovering the biological past. In pointing out this continuity, I argue that there is no 'special pleading' on the part of archaeologists in this regard: biologists must overcome analogous epistemic difficulties in their use of comparative data. I then go on to emphasize the local, empirically tractable ways in which particular ethnographic analogies may be licensed.

    Abstract Context: Coaches play an important role in promoting mental health in elite sports. However, they themselves are exposed to risks affecting their mental health, and their fears and worries are often overlooked. Moreover, it remains unclear how coaches' mental health affects their athletes' mental health.
    Objective: To create a compilation of the literature on (1) elite coaches' mental health and (2) how coaches' mental health influences elite athletes' mental health. Building on this, recommendations for improving coaches' psychological well-being should be elaborated upon and discussed.
    Data sources: A literature search was conducted up to November 30, 2021, using the following databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and SportDiscus.
    Study selection: Studies reporting elite coaches' mental health symptoms and disorders and the influence of elite coaches' mental health on elite athletes' mental health were included.
    Study design: Scoping review.
    Level of evidence: Level 4.
    Data extraction: Data regarding elite coaches' mental health, as well as their influence on athletes' mental health and performance, were included in a descriptive analysis. The PRISMA guidelines were used to guide this review.
    Results: Little research has been done on elite coaches' mental health disorders, although studies confirm that they do experience, for example, symptoms of burnout, anxiety, and depression. The influence of coaches' mental health on their athletes is underinvestigated, with research focused mainly on the influence of coaches' stress.
    Conclusion: Knowledge about coaches' mental health is still limited. Coaches' poor mental health diminishes coaching performance and might impair athletes' mental health. Coaches should receive more support, including sports psychiatric care and education on the importance of mental health. This could improve the mental health of both coaches and athletes, and positively affect athlete performance.

    Abstract Enhanced weathering, in comparison to other geoengineering measures, creates the possibility of a reduced cost, reduced impact way of decreasing atmospheric carbon, with positive knock-on effects such as decreased oceanic acidity. We argue that ethical concerns have a place alongside empirical, political and social factors as we consider how to best respond to the critical challenge that anthropogenic climate change poses. We review these concerns, considering the ethical issues that arise (or would arise) in the large-scale deployment of enhanced weathering. We discuss post-implementation scenarios, failures of collective action, the distribution of risk and externalities and redress for damage. We also discuss issues surrounding 'dirty hands' (taking conventionally immoral action to avoid having to take action that is even worse), whether enhanced weathering research might present a moral hazard, the importance of international governance and the notion that the implementation of large-scale enhanced weathering would reveal problematic hubris. Ethics and scientific research interrelate in complex ways: some ethical considerations caution against research and implementation, while others encourage them. Indeed, the ethical perspective encourages us to think more carefully about how, and what types of, geoengineering should be researched and implemented.
