The first paper, published in the Journal of Intensive Medicine is titled “The impact of daylight and window views on length of stay among patients with heart disease: A retrospective study in a cardiac intensive care unit.” This study found that patients receiving mechanical ventilation in rooms with direct access to both daylight and window views stayed significantly less time in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) than those in windowless CICU rooms.  Her next article, published in Health Care Management Science is titled “Operating room design using agent-based simulation to reduce room obstructions.”  This study sought to determine the significance of individual factors as well as the level of contribution of each factor towards the contacts observed during the course of a procedure in the operating room. Transforming the simulation model from playback to probabilistic created the opportunity for the modeling approach to be applied in a much broader sense at our healthcare institution partner.

LANGUAGES – Professor Eric Touya edited a volume entitled France in the Age of Covid-19 published in French Politics, Culture & Society. The journal is jointly sponsored by the Institute of French Studies at New York University and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. This special issue predominantly discusses the non-medical aspects of Covid-19’s impacts on France today including politics, intersectional feminism, online activism, the public humanities, artistic performance and flânerie. It seeks to make sense of a crisis that is still unfolding via its effects on people’s beliefs, thoughts and behaviors. It demonstrates how Covid-19 breaks through diverse ethnic, cultural, socio-economic and ideological realms, and encompasses the undefined, infinite and invisible “other” engaged in the same traumatic experience. It transgresses limits and norms so that we may elevate ourselves to a higher degree of awareness and responsibility.

ENGLISH – On August 1, Interventions, International Journal of Postcolonial Studies published Associate Professor Cameron Bushnell’s article “Orientalism Otherwise: A Poetics of Adjacency in Négar Djavadi’s ‘Disoriental.’” Her essay suggests that readers reconsider Orientalism by including women’s largely disregarded perspectives about the orient. It focuses on Négar Djavadi’s Disoriental as a model for disorientalizing the Orient through a poetics of adjacency — a creative process that puts voices, events, and circumstances side-by-side using modes borrowed from narrative’s sister arts — to suggest a basis for an orientalism that doesn’t forget Said’s “Orientalism,” but rather sets beside it another orient that modifies it. The essay is part of a larger book project: Orientalism Otherwise: Women Writing the Orient.
