Rogers, Hiromi T. Anjin - The Life and Times of Samurai William Adams, 1564-1620. GB Folkestone: Amsterdam University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9781898823858.
Full textAbstract:
The year is 1600. It is April and Japan’s iconic cherry trees are in full flower. A battered ship drifts on the tide into Usuki Bay in southern Japan. On board, barely able to stand, are twenty-three Dutchmen and one Englishman, the remnants of a fleet of five ships and 500 men that had set out from Rotterdam in 1598. The Englishman was William Adams, later to be known as Anjin Miura by the Japanese, whose subsequent transformation from wretched prisoner to one of the Shogun’s closest advisers is the centrepiece of this book. As a native of Japan, and a scholar of seventeenth-century Japanese history, the author delves deep into the cultural context facing Adams in what is one of the great examples of assimilation into the highest reaches of a foreign culture. Her access to Japanese sources, including contemporary accounts – some not previously seen by Western scholars researching the subject – offers us a fuller understanding of the life lived by William Adams as a high-ranking samurai and his grandstand view of the collision of cultures that led to Japan’s self-imposed isolation, lasting over two centuries. This is a highly readable account of Adams’ voyage to and twenty years in Japan and that is supported by detailed observations of Japanese culture and society at this time. New light is shed on Adams’ relations with the Dutch and his countrymen, including the disastrous relationship with Captain John Saris, the key role likely to have been played by the munitions, including cannon, removed from Adams’ ship De Liefde in the great battle of Sekigahara (September 1600), the shipbuilding skills that enabled Japan to advance its international maritime ambitions, as well as the scientific and technical support Adams was able to provide in the refining process of Japan’s gold and silver.

Full textAbstract:
Neuropalliative care encompasses disorders of consciousness, cognitive impairment, trauma, and other conditions. Each prompts specific ethical considerations, such as the often shifting values (and even personalities) of patients with dementia, forcing one to determine whether previously expressed wishes are determinative. Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis maintain cognition long after motor failure, and the predicable trajectory makes possible specific advance care planning. Patients who have suffered acute spinal cord injury may initially demand withdrawal of life sustaining medical treatment, yet studies have shown a significant proportion eventually achieve a quality of life acceptable to them. And patients who have suffered a stroke often recover significant function, thus making early limitation of treatment a potential “self-fulfilling prophecy.”

Full textAbstract:
An obstetric rapid response team (RRT) should ideally include the readily available presence of an obstetrician and a well-established system for escalation of care and management of the fetus where applicable. During the evaluation of an obstetric patient, the RRT team should be familiar with the unique changes in maternal pregnant physiology and their influence on the presentation and management of common maternal emergencies. Postpartum hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia related complications, and sepsis together form the bulk of causes for maternal RRT calls. The knowledge of, and competence with, left lateral displacement of the uterus and the timing and execution of perimortem cesarean section are essential during maternal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In this chapter, we review common maternal emergencies during RRT activation and their management.

Oreskes, Naomi. The Rejection of Continental Drift. Oxford University Press, 1999. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780195117325.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In the early twentieth century, American earth scientists were united in their opposition to the new--and highly radical--notion of continental drift, even going so far as to label the theory "unscientific." Some fifty years later, however, continental drift was heralded as a major scientific breakthrough and today it is accepted as scientific fact. Why did American geologists reject so adamantly an idea that is now considered a cornerstone of the discipline? And why were their European colleagues receptive to it so much earlier? This book, based on extensive archival research on three continents, provides important new answers while giving the first detailed account of the American geological community in the first half of the century. Challenging previous historical work on this episode, Naomi Oreskes shows that continental drift was not rejected for the lack of a causal mechanism, but because it seemed to conflict with the basic standards of practice in American geology. This account provides a compelling look at how scientific ideas are made and unmade.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the problem of assessing opiate use and psychological comorbidity, and discusses psychological strategies for coping with chronic pain. In 1995, the American Pain Society and others embraced pain as the fifth vital sign; yet pain differs from the other vital signs by being subjective, as opposed to being objectively measured, implying a psychological aspect. Psychological evaluation of a pain patient assesses underlying psychosocial aspects that play a role in reported pain symptoms. Early childhood abuse increases the likelihood of chronic pain later in life; pain may be precipitated by an emotional or physical trauma that reawakens anxiety from the original childhood experience. Precipitating traumas can include divorce, job loss, legal issues, grief, or death anniversaries. The earlier and more extensive the childhood trauma, the earlier and more extensive the physical report of pain in adulthood, and the greater the perceived need for opioid analgesia.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter uses the songs of Woody Guthrie to track a wider shift from regional song to national culture and, ultimately, pop idealism. It begins with Guthrie's own accounts of Oklahoma modernism—the whirlwind cycles of boom and bust that marked life in the Southwest during his early years. Guthrie's early experiences provided him with a typically modernist sense of cultural drift and discontinuity and attuned him to the growing rift between material reality and its public expression. These sensibilities informed Guthrie's most radical work with the Popular Front; his songwriting of this period, rather than a straightforward expression of folk ideology or class warfare, explores a new economy of sound for an increasingly migrant public. However, Guthrie later turned away from the fatalism of the socialist line to explore a certain “comic” mode, one that, in its own sonic rambling, upends the discursive categories of modern public life.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter summarizes the Dionne-Odom et al. randomized controlled trial evaluating the benefits of an early, nurse-led palliative care intervention to caregivers of patients with advanced cancer. The study examined the impact of early (at diagnosis) versus delayed (12 weeks later) intervention on caregiver quality of life, depressed mood, and burden. The study showed that early intervention caregivers had lower depression scores at three months compared to the delayed group caregivers. Terminal decline analyses also showed lower depression and stress burden scores in the caregivers who received the early intervention. This chapter describes the basics of the study, including funding, year study began, year study was published, study location, who was studied, who was excluded, how many patients, study design, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, gives a summary and discusses implications, and concludes with a clinical case.

The first selective service registration on 5 June forced Schumann-Heink’s sons, the members of the ODJB, and millions of other American men between twenty-one and thirty to register for the draft. George M. Cohan’s song “Over There” was introduced to the public by singer Nora Bayes. James Reese Europe played a concert before seven thousand on 22 June but underwent thyroid surgery days later. The ODJB took a two-week vacation, during which Dunbar’s Tennessee Ten took their place on the Reisenweber’s bandstand. The board of the Oratorio Society of New York replaced popular conductor Louis Koemmenich with Walter Damrosch against the wishes of the membership.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores how experimental filmmaker Lis Rhodes subverts the hegemonic relationship between sound and image across her body of moving image work in order to highlight and address inequitable power structures and the absence of the female voice in music and society. This is achieved on a material level by translating the optical soundtrack into visual presentations in her direct animation Dresden Dynamo (1971–72) and within an expanded, performative context in her audiovisual composition Light Music (1975). Further to this, Rhodes’s later films, Light Reading (1978) and A Cold Draft (1988), continue to rebalance the audiovisual relationship by giving countenance to the female voice, acousmatised from the images presented on screen.

Full textAbstract:
Abraham Fraunce’s Amintas Dale (1591) is a generic hybrid, half mythography and half mythological poetry. The mythographical elements likely date back to a draft mythography that Fraunce had begun at some point before 1588, and which he later drew on to create a work celebrating the fifth anniversary of Sir Philip Sidney’s death. Drawing on symbol theory, France conceives of fables as free-ranging poetic metaphors, which thinly veil their meaning, but are accessible to any intelligent reader. As part of a living tradition of poetry, fables are a form of communication that contemporary writers can draw on and contribute to. In Amintas Dale, Fraunce does just that, by extending Ovid’s Metamorphoses to the late sixteenth century, and weaving Sir Philip Sidney into the mythological narrative.

Full textAbstract:
Wharton’s early autobiographical text “Life & I” is analyzed near the outset of this chapter, which describes how it became a first draft for her autobiography A Backward Glance (1934). The chapter traces the retreating movement from disclosure to careful discretion that typified Wharton as an autobiographer, and identifies the neatness with which she compartmentalized the different areas of her experience in her fiction and in her life-writing. Wharton’s relationship with Henry James, and her portrait of him in her autobiography, are studied in detail, as is the impact of her marriage and later affair with Morton Fullerton recorded in her “love diary” “The Life Apart.” Wharton’s accounts of James during the period when he was writing his own autobiographies are also examined.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at Hitchcock's involvement in creating the plot and text of his scripts. It studies the various drafts of the films under consideration, revealing three distinct objectives as Hitchcock monitors them: the removal of what he called “no scene” scenes; the addition of some strongly visual shots or the elaboration of a scene to provide increased insight into a character, usually without new dialogue; and the removal of dialogue that did not add anything substantial to characterization or merely indicated some idea that the camera had already conveyed. Between the first draft and the shooting script, the screenplay would often be rewritten substantially at least three times, as the collaboration between the director and his writers continued. At the same time, Hitchcock would begin his preproduction work, which would often influence later drafts of the script.

Full textAbstract:
The duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of the receiving State was not included in the original draft by the ILC’s Special Rapporteur, but was introduced through a later amendment. Given the significance which incidents of (alleged) interference had attained even then, this is a somewhat surprising development. In contemporary diplomatic relations, such charges play an important role and affect a wide variety of fields, ranging from criticism of the receiving State, human rights monitoring, support given to factions in that State, etc. This chapter explores the concept of interference, but it also reflects on legitimate interests on the side of the sending State which may allow (and even compel) a diplomatic agent to take measures which his hosts may consider interference. The chapter also suggests mechanisms, including the employment of proportionality, which are capable of mediating between the interests advanced on both sides of the divide.

Fontane, Theodor, and Ritchie Robertson. Effi Briest. Translated by Mike Mitchell. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/owc/9780199675647.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
‘I loathe what I did, but what I loathe even more is your virtue.’ Seventeen-year-old Effi Briest is steered by her parents into marriage with an ambitious bureaucrat, twenty years her senior. He takes her from her home to a remote provincial town on the Baltic coast of Prussia where she is isolated, bored, and prey to superstitious fears. She drifts into a half-hearted affair with a manipulative, womanizing officer, which ends when her husband is transferred to Berlin. Years later, events are triggered that will have profound consequences for Effi and her family. Effi Briest (1895) is recognized as one of the masterpieces by Theodor Fontane, Germany's premier realist novelist, and one of the great novels of marital relations together with Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina. It presents life among the conservative Prussian aristocracy with irony and gentle humour, and opposes the rigid and antiquated morality of the time by treating its heroine with sympathy and keen psychological insight.

James, C. L. R. Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution. Edited by Leslie James. Duke University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/9781478007128.
Full textAbstract:
In this new edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution, C. L. R. James tells the history of the socialist revolution led by Kwame Nkrumah, the first president and prime minister of Ghana. Although James wrote it in the immediate post-independence period around 1958, he did not publish it until nearly twenty years later, when he added a series of his own letters, speeches, and articles from the 1960s. Although Nkrumah led the revolution, James emphasizes that it was a popular mass movement fundamentally realized by the actions of everyday Ghanaians. Moreover, James shows that Ghana’s independence movement was an exceptional moment in global revolutionary history: it moved revolutionary activity to the African continent and employed new tactics not seen in previous revolutions. Featuring a new introduction by Leslie James, an unpublished draft of C. L. R. James's introduction to the 1977 edition, and correspondence, this definitive edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution offers a revised understanding of Africa’s shaping of freedom movements and insight into the possibilities for decolonial futures.
