Through the death of loved ones and the dwindling of bodily capacities, older people are increasingly confronted with their own mortality. As losses accrue across different domains, they form a unique existential vantage point. We aim to shed light on this understudied dimension of later life by analysing older people's everyday practices of sense-making. Drawing on the findings of a qualitative interview study (n=16, aged 65-93), we identify three distinct practices by which older people make sense of death and bereavement: timing, communing, and missing. We conceptualise these practices as \"farewell ceremonies,\" a term we borrow from Simone de Beauvoir. The \"farewell ceremony\" describes a period of incremental goodbyes, which characterised the last ten years of Jean-Paul Sartre as well as the death process of Beauvoir's mother Françoise. Beauvoir captures these farewell ceremonies in her memoirs Adieux: A Farewell to Sartre and A Very Easy Death, which frame our philosophical reflection on practices of timing, communing, and missing. Bringing together Beauvoir's literary and philosophical work with our empirical findings, we propose an integrated view on death and bereavement in later life that centres the intertwining perspectives of self and other.","PeriodicalId":13027,"journal":{"name":"Human Studies","volume":"48 3","pages":"647-665"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12507966/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145280107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interosseous wiring to achieve semi-rigid fixation is often used, but lacks biomechanical force data. Herein we aim to quantitatively compare interosseous wiring to RIF.Methods: Cadaveric mandibles were fractured at the parasymphysis and angle. Fixation was achieved using interosseous wiring in both single wire loop and figure-of-eight formations, as well as plate and screw fixation (n = 5 for each fixation type at each fracture site). A force gauge was used to measure the number of Newtons (N) required to achieve diastasis and complete failure at the fixation site.Results: For angle fractures, the mean force required for initial diastasis was 4.1, 5.9, and 10.9 N for single wire, figure-of-eight wiring, and plating respectively (P < .001). Complete failure was achieved with 152.9, 168.9, and 237.6 N of force for the three methods, respectively (P < .001). Complete failure was achieved for parasymphyseal fractures with 197.7, 263.0, and 262.8 N of force for single wire, figure-of-eight wiring, and plating respectively (P = .002). Forces to achieve initial diastasis for parasymphyseal fractures were not statistically significant among the three fixation methods (P = .29).Conclusions: Figure-of-eight interosseous wiring resists comparable forces across mandibular fractures compared to the gold standard of plating. In resource-limited settings when plates and screws are not available, this technique can be considered to achieve semi-rigid fixation of mandibular fractures.","PeriodicalId":13027,"journal":{"name":"Human Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"13-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10874206/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72740793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
