El ser y el tiempo: una posibilidad ontológica para la terapia ocupacional / Being and time: an ontological posibility for occupational therapy

El presente trabajo se propone navegar en las posibilidades que otorgan las ideas sobre el Ser y el Tiempo desarrolladas por Martin Heidegger, como punto de partida para una reflexión ontológica sobre la ocupación, coherente con el ejercicio de la Terapia Ocupacional. Con este propósito, se revisan y contrastan conceptos centrales de la propuesta del autor alemán con el proyecto ampliamente aceptado por la comunidad de Terapeutas Ocupacionales, la naturaleza ocupacional del ser humano de Ann Wilcock. La discusión, además de centrarse en la invitación a los y las terapeutas ocupacionales a profundizar en este tema, se encuentra con una evidente sincronía entre el dasein hedeggeriano y la ocupación, aspectos que resuenan en la noción de becoming de Wilcock.

The present paper pretends to sail through the posibilities given by the notions about Being and Time developed by Martin Heidegger, as a starting point for an ontological reflection about occupation, coherent with the Occupational Therapy practice. For this purpose, core concepts of the German author are revised and contrasted with the project widely accepted in the occupational therapists community, the occupational nature of the human being by Ann Wilcock. The discussion, in addition to focusing on the invitation to the occupational therapists to go deeper into the topic, encounters an evident synchrony between Heidegger’s dasein and occupation, both aspects that resonate in Wilcock’s notion of becoming.

A Comparative Study of Mechanical Properties of The Pulse Straightened And Spinner Straightened Australian Stainless Steel Wires.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate and compare the mechanical and structural properties of Spinner straightened and pulse straightened wires. Materials and methods; The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the structural and mechanical properties of all grades of Australian A.J. Wilcock Stainless round wires(A.J. Wilcock, Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia). Premium plus (Spinner straightened) Premium plus( pulse straightened) of 0.016” size and Supreme grade ( pulse straightened and spinner straightened) of 0.011” size wires were subjected to Tensile testing, Three point bend test, Jig test, Frictional resistance. Analysis of the difference between each corresponding grade of wire is done by using the students ‘t’ test of significance between means at confidence interval of 95%. Results: The properties of Australian wire were found to possess significantly different physical and mechanical properties depending upon the process of manufacturing . Conclusions: Pulse straightened wires superior strength and stiffness compared to spinner straightened wires
