Figure 1: Varv Examples: (a) A todo list web application that is inherently extensible. Here, a basic todo list is extended with the ability to complete and delete todos by adding two new concept defnitions and new modifed template defnitions. (b) A board game toolkit that defnes abstractions for board game logic. The games "Checkers" and "Othello" were implemented with the toolkit and then merged into a new "Checkers-O-Thello" game with the addition of a short concept defnition. As Varv applications are represented as data structures, higher-level tooling can be developed including a block-based editor (right), an inspector to go from an element in the view to the corresponding template or data (context menu to the left), and a data inspector for live editing application state (middle).
Background: Professional rugby is an aggressive sport. Consequently, injuries are an inevitable part of a rugby player's career. It is therefore crucial for sports medicine professionals to understand the subjective experience of injured athletes in order to optimise their care.
Objectives:The purpose of this study was to take a lifeworld perspective to explore how living with injury was meaningful to professional rugby players.Methods: A purposive sample of 5 participants were recruited and data collection undertaken via semistructured interviews. Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology to develop the themes.Findings: Three master themes emerged from the analysis, each comprising of two subthemes; 1) Sense of uncertainty (1a. Fear of the unknown, 1b. Lack of control), 2) Experienced Change in Relationships (2a. Lived human relations, 2b. Coping), 3) Sense of Self (3a. Isolation and Belonging, 3b. ''Being'' an athlete).
Conclusion:Participants' described the challenge to their sense of sense of self and 'being' athletes', as the isolation from the team deprived them of their sense of belonging. Participants illustrated the experienced significance of their relationships, the uncertainty over their lives and the unique strategies to cope. Emotions of anxiety, grief, anger and shock reverberate throughout their accounts.
This essays studies the biblical hermeneutics of Cornelius a Lapide, focusing on his knowledge of Hebrew. After reviewing a post-Tridentine bias against Catholic biblical studies, the essay is divided in three parts. The first part is a brief introduction to a Lapide’s life; the second part addresses his position on the Vulgate and its relationship to the original languages of scripture; and the third part presents key passages from a Lapide on the Hebrew language, drawn from his biblical commentaries. In the end, I argue that regardless of a Lapide’s imperfect knowledge of Hebrew, he still shows that Catholic scholars could engage in a close study of scripture’s original languages after Trent’s decree on the Vulgate, and could incorporate works from across confessional boundaries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
