Abstract:

The Atlantic system of the early modern centuries was primarily the creation of European navigation, trade, and colonisation. Although the peoples of Africa and America were by no means passive spectators and played crucial roles in shaping the Atlantic system, it is the primacy of European agency that first needs to be addressed. Christopher Columbus' crossing of 1492 was the culmination of a period of Atlantic explorations rather than an isolated initiative, and those explorations were, in turn, the product of a number of structural conditions in late medieval Europe, conditions that made possible the careers of men like Henry the Navigator and Columbus himself. This article analyses the late medieval sources of the European dynamic involvement with the Atlantic. It also compares European conditions with those in Africa and America.

Abstract:

This chapter reconstructs the scoring of Selznick’s most famous film. The story interweaves several familiar anecdotes, such as Steiner’s furious discovery that another composer had been primed to replace him, into a more comprehensive, critical review of the full collaboration. Included are Steiner’s adaptation of musical ideas from Margaret Mitchell’s source novel, his divvying of the film’s music among multiple composers (Hugo Freidhofer, Adolph Deutsch, and Heinz Roemheld), Lou Forbes’s delicate negotiations with Selznick, the rejection and rewriting of critical passages of the score, the efforts of orchestrators, and the recording of the music with studio musicians. With archival materials ranging from Steiner’s doodled marginalia to Forbes’s legal files, a new impression of the score’s construction emerges: one in which a new level of involvement from Selznick prompts an unprecedented and vigorous style of musical collaboration—dubbed “Max Steiner and Co.”—that affected both process and product.

Abstract:

This article describes the role of the Middle East in world history. The Middle East is both a strategic concept and a geo-cultural region. As a concept and a specific label of identification, it is a product of analysts writing about twentieth-century world affairs. However, as a region, its peoples and cultures are associated with the history of humanity from ancient times. This regional name itself shapes a way of understanding the history of the broad region of Southwestern Asia and Northern Africa. Both of the terms in the name — ‘Middle’ and ‘East’ — identify the region in relationship to other world regions and reflect the importance of the region's involvement in broader global historical processes. Along with examining the history of the region, the discussion also notes how the concepts of the historical units involved in that history have changed in the presentations of the history of the Middle East.

Driscoll, Beth. What Readers Do. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350375178.

Full text

Abstract:

Shining the spotlight on everyday readers of the 21st century, Beth Driscoll explores how contemporary readers of Anglophone fiction interact with consumer publishing and the book industry. The product of 16 years of qualitative research into readers and reading culture, this book examines reading through three dimensions - aesthetic conduct, moral conduct, and self-care – to probe at how readers intertwine private and social behaviors, and both reinforce and oppose the structures of capitalism. Analyzing reading as a post-digital practice that is a synthesis of both print and digital modes and on-and offline behaviors, Driscoll presents a methodology for studying readers that connects sociology, book history, literary studies and actor-network theory. Also working to advance earlier studies that focused on readers’ face-to-face practices, What Readers Do digs into book clubs, reader involvement with broadcast media, such as via Oprah’s Book Club, and posting pictures of books on social media.

Abstract:

This chapter demonstrates the ways in which dress can be used as a powerful interpretative tool in understanding how the Quaker family, and especially women, engaged with antislavery activism in the 1850s. It discusses how dressing in free-labor cotton clothes embedded antislavery consumption practice into everyday life, as an embodiment of individual political belief. It presents new research on the involvement of one Victorian Quaker family—the famous Clark family of Somerset—in the antislavery cause. It discusses the British free produce movement and its campaign against slave-grown cotton; it examines Quaker attitudes to dress; and it compares dress in the photographs to surviving examples.

Abstract:

Between 2009 and 2014, an anti-homosexuality law circulating in the Ugandan parliament attracted global attention for the draconian nature of its provisions and for the involvement of US anti-gay evangelical Christians who were reported to have lobbied for its passage. This book makes three contributions to our understanding of these developments. First, it offers an account of the international relations that anticipated and followed the Anti Homosexuality Act. Journeying through encounters between the kingdom of Buganda and British colonialism, between the Ugandan state and its international donors, and between LGBTI activists in the global South and North, the book illuminates the frictional collaborations across geopolitical divides that produce and contest contemporary queerphobias. Second, it explores the dialectic produced by two opposed statements that mark queer postcolonial disagreements—‘homosexuality is Western’ and ‘homophobia is Western’. Arguing that both statements are plausible but evasive, the book demonstrates how their opposition produces distinctive forms of temporal politics in the queer postcolony. In this register, the book explores the afterlives of colonialism and the queer futures enabled by it in Uganda, India, and Britain. Third, in shifting the scenes of encounter that it investigates from one chapter to the next, the book reveals how queerness mutates in different configurations of power to become a metonym for other categories such as nationality, religiosity, race, class, and caste. It argues that these mutations reveal the grammars forged in the originary violence of the state and social institutions in which queer difference struggles to find place.

Abstract:

This chapter explores Regina's involvement with the Harlem Experimental Theatre. Regina's participation in the little theater movement began with her involvement with the theater company founded by her friend W. E. B. Du Bois. Sometime during 1924, Du Bois contacted Supervising Librarian Ernestine Rose and asked for permission to use the basement of the 135th Street Branch for a theater group, named the CRIGWA (Crisis Guild of Writers and Artists) Players—which was later changed to KRIGWA. Du Bois wanted to use the basement stage to produce three or four plays in 1926 and from four to six plays in 1927. Both Regina and her husband Bill were members of the KRIGWA Players board.

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the empirical literature on factors that might influence the development and maintenance of the alliance and client involvement in youth therapy. Thus, our review of the literature is conducted through the lens of the evidence-based practice movement, which emphasizes the importance of tailoring the delivery of evidence-based treatments to individual clients. We present a conceptual model designed to explain how therapy produces change in youth, focusing on process and outcome through therapeutic interventions hypothesized to strengthen the alliance and maximize client involvement Then we use the model as a framework for reviewing the empirical evidence demonstrating that therapist characteristics, therapeutic interventions, and therapist competence influence the therapist–client alliance and client involvement. The chapter concludes with clinical implications and suggested future research directions.

Abstract:

The purpose of the monography is to elaborate the concept of the development of inter-regional investment cooperation by identifying the trends and features of its impact on the economic growth potential of the macro-region. The monography consists of the introduction, three chapters, conclusion and applications, as well as a list of references. The first chapter substantiates theoretical approaches to the essence, conditions and factors of regional development and the content of interregional investment cooperation in the current socio-economic conditions, analyzes the features of institutional design and the mechanisms for regulating regional cooperation for economic growth and development purposes, taking into account the Russian and foreign experience on the example of the European Union. The second chapter, basing on the economic analysis, identifies the trends in the development of the regions of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation in terms of emerging macro-regions. A model has been proposed to assess the extent of the region’s economy’s involvement in inter-regional relations, which would allow to determine the dependence of variables such as interregional exchange, investment and gross regional product. Using mathematical modeling tools, the impact of these factors on the growth of the gross regional product of the Central Federal District of Russia, as well as its two regions — Moscow and Belgorod region — was evaluated. The third chapter identifies the prospects for the development of interregional investment cooperation in the Central Black Earth macro-region of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation. The concept of developing inter-regional investment cooperation in the macro-region within the framework of the creation of a network of territories ahead of socioeconomic development (PSEDA) has been developed. The mechanism of inter-regional investment cooperation in the framework of the creation and development of the territories ahead of socio-economic development (PSEDA) has been adapted in order to form the points of economic growth in the macro-region. The main text of the monography is laid out on 234 pages and is illustrated with 21 drawings and 40 tables. The monography contains 4 applications. The references list includes 144 units.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1295, a house fell from the evening sky onto an Italian coastal road by the Adriatic Sea. Inside, awestruck locals encountered the Virgin Mary, who explained that this humble mud-brick structure was her original residence newly arrived from Nazareth. To keep it from the hands of Muslim invaders, angels had flown it to Loreto, stopping three times along the way. This story of the house of Loreto has been read as an allegory of how Catholicism spread peacefully around the world by dropping miraculously from the heavens. This book calls that interpretation into question by examining historical accounts of the movement of the Holy House across the Mediterranean in the thirteenth century and the Atlantic in the seventeenth century. These records indicate vast and voluntary involvement in the project of formulating a branch of Catholic devotion. The book surveys the efforts of European Jesuits, Slavic migrants, and indigenous peoples in Baja California, Canada, and Peru. These individuals contributed to the expansion of Catholicism by acting as unofficial authors, inadvertent pilgrims, unlicensed architects, unacknowledged artists, and unsolicited cataloguers of Loreto. Their participation in portaging Mary's house challenges traditional views of Christianity as a prepackaged European export, and instead suggests that Christianity is the cumulative product of thousands of self-appointed editors. The book also demonstrates how miracle narratives can be treated seriously as historical sources that preserve traces of real events. Drawing on rich archival materials, the book illustrates how global Catholicism proliferated through independent initiatives of untrained laymen.

Full text

Abstract:

The motor hierarchy uses muscle twitches as building blocks for complex and consciously driven actions requiring neocortical involvement. Cortical regions operate in concert with the cerebellum and basal ganglia to generate well-timed and organized muscle contractions that produce movements, ranging from simple to complex. Once imbued with meaning, these movements are considered actions. Adjustments in motor commands are made to accommodate changes in muscle load, maintain an upright posture, and anticipate and avoid errors. Brainstem motor control centers employ circuits in lower parts of the motor hierarchy to produce fairly complex movements, such as ingestion or locomotion. Since the brain adds meaning to movements, two different actions can share the same component movements and serve different end goals. Brain lesions may independently impair movements made under different contexts. For example, patients may be unable to smile volitionally while retaining the ability to smile in response to a joke.

Abstract:

The venue for assessment varies but given the choice there are substantial advantages in the first assessment being conducted at home. The aims of the assessment are to do more than achieve a diagnosis, though this is crucial; the aim should also be to produce a holistic assessment of all needs leading to the involvement a range of appropriate professionals in health and social care services to address these needs and carry out their own specialist assessments. Information from informants will supplement that of the patient and enable completion of all the important domains in the psychiatric history. The mental state examination will include a special emphasis on cognitive assessment and a brief physical looking for neurological signs is important.

Abstract:

Many times, parents of gifted students with disabilities are unsure of how to navigate school policy dealing with serving one exceptionality, let alone two. Creating strong school-to-home collaborative partnerships requires school officials connect with parents through a variety of mediums. From inviting parents to attend special events at the school to establishing social-media groups focused on parents’ needs, school officials must find ways to bring parents into the school and into collaborative partnerships. By creating an inviting school culture, educators will cultivate parental involvement and produce individualized programming that meets the needs of this special population. This chapter provides background information on the importance of strong school-to-home partnerships and offers realistic strategies that school officials can implement.

Abstract:

The natural history of PD produces a predominance of nonmotor complications in the later years that can often be more disabling than the motor complications due to their impact on quality of life. Quality of life is less impaired by motor symptoms than it is by cognitive impairment, hallucinations, autonomic involvement, and sleep disruption. Carer burden can be significant, and a shift of emphasis toward maximizing quality of life for patient and carer over the achievement of continuous dopaminergic stimulation is required. Recognition of the carer burden is an important facet of the palliative neurology consultation, which should target resources to limit carer burnout in recognition of their critical role.

This chapter explores the history of humanism within African American communities. It positions humanist thinking and humanism-inspired activism as a significant way in which people of African descent in the United States have addressed issues of racial injustice. Beginning with critiques of theism found within the blues, moving through developments such as the literature produced by Richard Wright, Lorraine Hansberry, and others, to political activists such as W. E. B. DuBois and A. Philip Randolph, to organized humanism in the form of African American involvement in the Unitarian Universalist Association, African Americans for Humanism, and so on, this chapter presents the historical and institutional development of African American humanism.

Abstract:

This chapter considers the part played by continental Europeans in sustaining the empire from without, a role that was less conspicuous than internal involvement but nevertheless helped to support British imperial activity. Here we consider other Europeans as investors; as consumers of British imperial products; as suppliers of goods to British imperial sites; and as facilitators of the British presence across the globe, who from outside the empire provided stopping off places on voyages to imperial destinations and channels for the movement of British personnel and communication with the home islands, as well as various forms of social sustenance. As in the previous chapter, some attempt is made, where possible, to assess the significance of such contributions, by making comparisons with inputs from the British and Irish themselves, and by other imperial subjects, and native peoples beyond British control.

Full text

Abstract:

Major obstetric haemorrhage affects around 0.4% of pregnant women, accounts for around 50% of intensive care unit admissions amongst pregnant women, and is a significant cause of maternal death. Optimal obstetric and anaesthetic management plays an important role in reducing mortality. Such management includes antenatal optimization (ensuring that pre-delivery haemoglobin is normal, and identifying risk factors such as placenta praevia), prompt recognition of bleeding and senior involvement, and debriefing for staff and patients after the event. This chapter focuses on the causes of, and treatments for, antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum haemorrhage. Resuscitation and therapeutic (pharmacological and surgical) strategies are described and the use of blood products and cell salvage discussed from the point of view of both the anaesthetist and the obstetrician. Lastly, current controversies, including the use of recombinant factor VII and tranexamic acid are mentioned.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter explores animal involvement in Hindu ritual and ideology as described in Dharmaśāstra, investigating how and why descriptions and enactments of dharma require and utilize animal bodies. In accounting for animals in Hindu ritual, one observes that animals embody dharma, both literally (materially, in ritual) and figuratively. At times, animals are an extension of one’s own physical body, as property, reasserting the permeability of “animal” and “human” in Hindu ideology. Further, humans may “become animal” during penance or in a karmic rebirth. While bodies are socially constructed and enacted, animals are also the social products of Hindu ritual and thought: for example, the cow. In exploring how humans have constructed their religious world using various animal bodies, we find that these bodies articulate dharma and create and restore religious merit for humans, indicating that animals sometimes mediate human relations with the divine.

Abstract:

Reproductive technologies enable a couple to have, or avoid having, a particular kind of child. Couples can learn much about some of the medical problems their offspring might have even before their child is born; and, in some cases, even before conception. These developments have had a profound effect in framing reproductive decisions. This article focuses the discussion on these issues, which arise directly from the convergence of reproductive and genetic technologies. But it also explores some important, and related, implications that convergence has for the other three groups of issues: the moral assessment of risks, the involvement of third parties, and the status and disposition of various reproductive materials. In examining these issues, the article distinguishes concerns about the products, processes, and reasons involved in the use of new reproductive and genetic technologies, an approach which is described here.

Full text

Abstract:

This book provides the first wide-ranging attempt to consider the continental European contribution to the eighteenth-century British Empire. The British benefited from many different European inputs—financial, material, and, perhaps most importantly, human. Continental Europeans appeared in different British imperial sites as soldiers, settlers, scientists, sailors, clergymen, merchants, and technical experts. They also sustained the empire from without—through their financial investments, their consumption of British imperial goods, their supply of European products, and by aiding British imperial communication. Continental Europeans even provided Britons with social support from their own imperial bases. Britannia’s Auxiliaries explores the means by which continental Europeans came to play a part in British imperial activity, at a time when, at least in theory, overseas empires were meant to be exclusionary structures, intended to serve national purposes. It looks at the ambitions of the continental Europeans themselves, and at the encouragement given to their participation both by private interests in the British Empire and by the British state. Despite the extensive involvement of continental Europeans, the empire remained essentially British. Indeed, the empire seems to have changed the Europeans who entered it more than they changed the empire. This study, then, qualifies recent scholarly emphasis on the transnational forces that undermined the efforts of imperial authorities to maintain control of their empires. In the British case, the state seems, for the most part, to have managed the process of continental involvement in ways that furthered British interests.

Full text

Abstract:

Political exile re-emerged in the context of the increased polarization of the East–West, left–right, Communism–capitalism divide. Ideological polarization produced a situation in which expelling societies broadened the scope of repression, expanding it to cover liberals and cultural and social sectors with all sorts of potential political involvement or critical positions. This chapter analyzes diaspora politics and its role in the politics and mechanics of the respective home countries, including the question of whether or not to return. One of the fascinating aspects of such politics, as we analyze each of the four diaspora communities, is the unexpected turn their existence, growth, diversity, and development took vis-à-vis the expectations repressors had when forcing tens and hundreds of thousands of their citizens into exile.

Full text

Abstract:

The fight for racial equality in the nineteenth century played out not only in marches and political conventions but also in the print and visual culture created and disseminated throughout the United States by African Americans. Advances in visual technologies--daguerreotypes, lithographs, cartes de visite, and steam printing presses--enabled people to see and participate in social reform movements in new ways. African American activists seized these opportunities and produced images that advanced campaigns for black rights. In this book, Aston Gonzalez charts the changing roles of African American visual artists as they helped build the world they envisioned. Understudied artists such as Robert Douglass Jr., Patrick Henry Reason, James Presley Ball, and Augustus Washington produced images to persuade viewers of the necessity for racial equality, black political leadership, and freedom from slavery. Moreover, these activist artists’ networks of transatlantic patronage and travels to Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa reveal their extensive involvement in the most pressing concerns for black people in the Atlantic world. Their work demonstrates how images became central to the ways that people developed ideas about race, citizenship, and politics during the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

The vasculitides are a group of conditions characterized by inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels; they are generally of unknown aetiology. The classification of vasculitides is based on the size of vessel involved and whether there is a known cause (secondary) or not (primary). This approach has stood the test of time. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1990 produced classification criteria for the major types of vasculitis and in 1994 definitions were promulgated by the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference. These did not include anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) and the ACR scheme did not include microscopic polyangiitis. The definitions have recently been updated to include modern concepts of pathogenesis including ANCA. No validated diagnostic criteria are available for routine clinical practice. The diagnosis of vasculitis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in the systemically unwell patient with multiorgan involvement. The key to diagnosis is a detailed and systematic approach to patient assessment involving all potentially involved organs. In a patient with suspected vasculitis immediate urinalysis is mandatory as the severity of renal involvement at presentation is a major determinant of outcome. Each potentially involved organ should be comprehensively evaluated. Tissue biopsy should be obtained whenever possible, as treatment is potentially toxic using glucocorticoids combined with cytotoxic agents. Biopsy should not, however, delay initiation of treatment. Potential alternative diagnosis should be considered, especially infection and malignancy, and excluded whenever possible.

Abstract:

Abstract: The chapter introduces the specific indicators of uncertainty in the national campaign context, which include economic volatility, technology shock (with the invention of new mass communication devices, including radio, television, cable television, and the Internet), dramatic national events such as US involvement in major international conflicts, and federal expansion of the franchise. The more change in each indicator, the greater the increase in uncertainty. The increase in uncertainty produces a decrease in nonvoting. Conversely, the more stable the indicator, the less uncertainty and the more likely nonvoting increases. The chapter tests an aggregate model across the full time frame from 1920 through 2012 for presidential and midterm House elections. The results show that relative to such personal factors as age and education, measures of economic volatility, new communication technology, and visible national events decrease nonvoting in both presidential and midterm House elections.

Abstract:

Echocardiography is a key diagnostic method in the management of patients with cardiomyopathies.The main echocardiographic findings of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are asymmetric hypertrophy of the septum, increased echogenicity of the myocardium, systolic anterior motion, turbulent left ventricular (LV) outflow tract blood flow, intracavitary gradient of dynamic nature, mid-systolic closure of the aortic valve and mitral regurgitation. The degree of hypertrophy and the magnitude of the obstruction have prognostic meaning. Echocardiography plays a fundamental role not only in diagnostic process, but also in management of patients, prognostic stratification, and evaluation of therapeutic intervention effects.In idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, echocardiography reveals dilation and impaired contraction of the LV or both ventricles. The biplane Simpson’s method incorporates much of the shape of the LV in calculation of volume; currently, three-dimensional echocardiography accurately evaluates LV volumes. Deformation parameters might be used for detection of early ventricular involvement. Stress echocardiography using dobutamine or dipyridamole may contribute to risk stratification, evaluating contractile reserve and left anterior descending flow reserve. LV dyssynchrony assessment is challenging and in patients with biventricular pacing already applied, optimization of atrio-interventricular delays should be done. Specific characteristics of right ventricular dysplasia and isolated LV non-compaction can be recognized, resulting in an increasing frequency of their prevalence. Rare forms of cardiomyopathy related with neuromuscular disorders can be studied at an earlier stage of ventricular involvement.Restrictive and infiltrative cardiomyopathies are characterized by an increase in ventricular stiffness with ensuing diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. A variety of entities may produce this pathological disturbance with amyloidosis being the most prevalent. Storage diseases (Fabry, Gaucher, Hurler) are currently treatable and early detection of ventricular involvement is of paramount importance for successful treatment. Traditional differentiation between constrictive pericarditis (surgically manageable) and the rare cases of restrictive cardiomyopathy should be properly performed.

Abstract:

This chapter looks closely at key events and noticeable patterns of contemporary Korean Buddhist traditions over the past three decades. After a brief historical background on Korean Buddhism prior to the twentieth century, it turns to early twentieth-century changes under Japanese colonial rule and the postcolonial period in South Korea that set the stage for a series of overlapping trends beginning in the 1980s. These show how the contemporary period has produced more opportunities for lay Buddhists to practice and worship in Korea, to learn and study, to volunteer their time for various causes and help spread the Dharma, and even to experience temporarily the daily routines and forms of practice that were once reserved for monastics. The reorientation of the tradition toward greater social outreach and active involvement in social and political affairs, together with a sharp increase in Buddhist orders and organizations, is also discussed.

Abstract:

As the global population increase, the effects of disasters also increase. However, through improved building codes and other disaster risk reduction interventions, the number of deaths appears to be reducing. International frameworks for reduction and response are being built and an audit of the NHS demonstrated the advantages of an integrated health service. Fact sheets, produced internationally with UK involvement, on several aspects of disaster risk reduction have started to increase awareness of the wide variety of needs, although mental health issues need further research. Not all global disasters with far-reaching consequences are catastrophic in nature. The circumstances of congenital rubella and iodine deficiency show the strengths of international collaboration and the need for high-quality science. This chapter explains disaster risk reduction and sets it in its international perspective, with examples of wide-ranging agreements and frameworks, and their application to the wider UK health service.
