Mortar01:29

Mortar

280
Mortar, a mixture of Portland cement, hydrated lime, sand, and water, is a crucial binding material in construction. Its primary function is to join masonry units together, filling gaps and ensuring a uniform distribution of weight across the structure. This helps in preventing potential weaknesses. Mortar also serves as a protective barrier against environmental elements such as water and wind, thereby safeguarding the interior of the structure. It also compensates for surface irregularities...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

22.6K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Mortar Joints in Brick Masonry01:25

Mortar Joints in Brick Masonry

164
Mortar joints play a critical role in brick masonry, filling the spaces between brick to bind them together and provide structural integrity and strength. The thickness of these joints is variable, typically ranging from less than one-fourth inch to over half an inch, based on structural needs and specific applications.
The process of joint tooling is implemented as the mortar begins to harden. This technique involves compacting and shaping the mortar to enhance both the appearance and the...

Mortar Properties01:17

Mortar Properties

165
Mortar properties encompass a range of characteristics crucial for construction and masonry work, including workability, water retention, bond strength, durability, compressive strength, volume change, and appearance. Workability refers to mortar's ability to be easily applied and manipulated without sagging or falling off surfaces, which is important for efficient masonry unit placement and alignment. Water retention is essential to prevent the mortar from losing moisture too quickly to...

Mortar Joint Deterioration in Masonry01:13

Mortar Joint Deterioration in Masonry

151
Mortar joint deterioration is a significant concern in masonry structures, with water accumulation in the joints leading to damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The repeated expansion of water during freezing and its melting during thawing develop and propagate cracks in the masonry joints. Eventually, this leads to the spalling of mortar from the joints, loosening masonry units and weakening the structure. The deteriorated mortar joints are also vulnerable to moisture intrusion into the walls.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Palliative Care
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Life-threatening serious illness creates profound vulnerability in caregiving settings.
  • Hospice care uniquely addresses patient and family needs during critical times.
  • Nonhospice clinicians often aim to overcome, rather than lean into, vulnerability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the applicability of the hospice care framework to nonhospice clinicians.
  • To examine the concept of mortal time as a bridge between hospice and nonhospice settings.
  • To identify strategies for strengthening patient and clinician solidarity.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of 'mortal time' within healthcare contexts.
  • Exploration of the hospice care framework's core tenets.
  • Comparative analysis of caregiving approaches in hospice versus nonhospice settings.

Main Results:

  • The concept of mortal time highlights shared human vulnerability across different care settings.
  • Hospice clinicians actively engage with vulnerability to create meaning.
  • Nonhospice clinicians may attempt to mitigate vulnerability for future-oriented goals.

Conclusions:

  • Mortal time offers a framework for nonhospice clinicians to better understand and support patients with serious illnesses.
  • Embracing vulnerability, a hospice principle, can foster solidarity and improve the caregiving atmosphere.
  • Recognizing the shared human condition can strengthen bonds between patients and healthcare providers.
