Abstract:
Background: Assisted dying remains an emotive topic globally with a number of countries initiating legislation to allow individuals access to assisted dying measures. Victoria will become the first Australian state in over 13 years to pass Assisted Dying Legislation, set to come into effect in 2019. Objectives: This article sought to evaluate the impact of Victorian Assisted Dying Legislation via narrative view and case study presentation. Research design: Narrative review and case study. Participants and research context: case study. Ethical considerations: This legislation will provide eligible Victorian residents with the option to request access to assisted dying measures as a viable alternative to a potentially painful, protracted death. Findings: This legislation, while conservative and inclusive of many safeguards at present, will form the basis for further discussion and debate on assisted dying across Australia in time to come. Discussion: The passing of this legislation by the Victorian parliament was prolonged, emotive and divided not only the parliament but Australian society. Conclusion: Many advocates for this legislation proclaimed it was well overdue and will finally meet the needs of contemporary society. Protagonists claim that medical treatment should not provide a means of ending life, despite palliative care reportedly often failing to relieve the pain and suffering of individuals living with a terminal illness.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper was to highlight the miserable plight of women during the Victorian era, the age of social reforms, political improvements, collective welfare, and material prosperity. During this age, Queen Victoria worked on various issues that had remained the cause of unrest among the people. Her efforts, in this regard, were indeed commendable, but she took no interest to resolve issues of women who had been suffering terribly under patriarchy. The subject of women remained ignored for many years, then some writers started to highlight the miserable state of these passive creatures who were the constant victims of social, political and economic injustices, inequalities, deprivations, and domestic violence. Of all the feminists, Thomas Hardy stood unique as he brought to light almost all areas of life where women were suffering awfully and their voices were suppressed under the male-dominated system. Hardy took serious note of the long-ignored subject of society and provided a vivid and realistic picture of Victorian society through his extraordinarily brilliant novels. Thomas Hardy’s famous masterpiece ‘Tess of the d’Urbervilles: A Pure Woman” is one of the best novels depicting women-related issues that shook the minds of the people to proceed towards this delicate matter. The contents or events described in the novel confirmed that women were the disadvantaged section of society who were deprived of their due rights and respect in society. They were objectified and preferred to a man in each sphere of life.

Abstract:
This essay introduces eight reports by Dr Hermann Beckler of the nineteenth-century Victorian Exploring Expedition (better known as the Burke & Wills Expedition) from the State Library of Victoria, the Argus newspaper and a German publication. Together, their detail reflects the complexity of the Expedition. Many are also hand-written manuscripts in nineteenth-century script that are difficult to decipher. In Beckler's own words, the reports range from descriptions of the landscape and his journeys, to the plants he observed and collected, and a meteorological report. The detailed medical reports about his return journey to Bulloo provide extensive insight into the grievous suffering of the men (four deaths) in the drought stricken summer of the semi-arid desert north of the Darling River. After he returned home to Bavaria, Beckler published a second medical report on the same subject, translated here by Thomas Darragh.

Abstract:
Victims of interpersonal violence are known to be at increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempts; however, few data exist on the impact that violence has on the risk of death from suicide. This study examined 2153 suicides (1636 males and 517 females) occurring between 2009 and 2012. Information was sourced from the Coroners Court of Victoria’s Suicide Register, a detailed database containing information on all Victorian suicides. Forty-two percent of women who died from suicide had a history of exposure to interpersonal violence, with 23% having been a victim of physical violence, 18% suffering psychological violence, and 16% experiencing sexual abuse. A large number of men who died from suicide had also been exposed to interpersonal violence, many of whom had perpetrated violence within the 6 weeks prior to their death. Targeted prevention, particularly removing barriers for men to seek help early after perpetrating violence is likely to have benefits in preventing suicide in both men and women.

Abstract:
For some years we have speculated as to whether Queen Victoria suffered a definable psychiatric illness in her notorious and prolonged seclusion after the Prince Consort's death. We here summarize criteria for grief and depression from three authorities. Against these, we examine the natural history of the Queen's bereavement and restitution. We find that her suffering and her portrayal of the role of widow were related to her personal style and were culturally accepted. Her self-esteem, ego functions, and object relatedness were preserved. While some clinicians might favour a diagnosis of Dysthymic Disorder, we find the evidence strongly in favour of an intense, prolonged, normal human grief (Uncomplicated Bereavement of DSM III) coloured by a romantic and histrionic personal style. Intensity and duration do not, in this case, establish a diagnosis of depression.

Abstract:
Research conducted in 2018 documented the disaster experiences of 56 women and men in Australia aged between 18 and 93 years. This paper draws out the gendered factors that affected their resilience, and in so doing, begins to address the dearth of research related to gendered aspects of long-term disaster resilience. It is unique in capturing the voices of survivors who spoke of events 9 years after the 2009 Black Saturday fires and of earlier fires and floods in Victoria more than 50 years ago, including the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires. Over decades, gendered expectations of men and women significantly hindered resilience. Men spoke of the long-term cost to them of demands to ‘be strong’ in the worst of disasters and reasons they were reluctant to seek help afterwards. Women spoke of their contributions holding a lesser value and of discrimination. Discussions of violence against women and children after disaster, and suicide ideation in anticipation of future disasters offered critical insights. Protective factors identified by informants were not wholly intrinsic to their character but were also physical, such as essential resources provided in the immediate aftermath, and psychological and community support offered in the long-term. Factors that helped resilience departed from the ‘masculine’ model of coping post-disaster by moving away from a refusal to admit trauma and suffering, to community-wide resilience bolstered by widespread emotional, social and psychological support. Genuine community planning for disasters before they strike builds trust and offers insights for emergency management planners.

Abstract:
This article addresses the gender issue of the 19th century. XIX century in England. This century is generally considered Victorian, although this is not quite the correct idea. The Victorian era refers to the period from 1837 to 1901, when Great Britain was ruled by Queen Victoria. So Queen Victoria began her reign only in 1837. In the Victorian era (1837-1901), it was the novel that became the leading literary genre in English. Women played an important role in this growth in the popularity of both authors and readers. Circulating libraries that allowed books to be borrowed for annual subscriptions were another factor in the novel's popularity. The 1830s and 1840s saw the rise of the social novel. It was a lot of things response to rapid industrialization, as well as social, political, and economic challenges associated with it and was a means of commenting on the abuses of government and industry and the suffering of the poor who did not profit from the English economy. Stories about the working-class poor were aimed at the middle class to help create sympathy and foster change. The greatness of the novelists of this period is not only in their veracity description of modern life, but also in their deep humanism. They believed in the good qualities of the human heart and expressed their hopes for a better future. At the end of the eighteenth century, two young poets, W. Wordsworth and S. Coleridge, published a volume of poems called "Lyric ballads". From this moment began the period of romanticism in England, although it did not last long, only three decades, but it was truly bright and memorable for English literature. It was this time that gave us many great novels. Even in the Middle ages, clear and distinct gender boundaries were drawn and stereotypes of gender behavior were defined. Everyone was assigned their own specific roles and their violation caused public hatred. A Victorian married woman was her husband's "chattel"; she had no right property and personal wealth; legal recourse in any question, if it was not confirmed by her husband. Socio-economic changes in the middle of the XIX century lead to changes in the status of women middle and lower strata: gaining material independence and sustainable development socio-economic status, women acquire a social status equal to that of men. Women are beginning to fight against double standards in relation to the sexes, for reforms in the field of property rights, divorce, for ability to work. The next step was to raise the issue of women's voting rights as a means to ensure legislative reform. Women they sought independence from men.

Abstract:
e17556 Background: Physical activity displays multiple benefits in oncology patients, with the strongest evidence related to breast cancer. But there is little information about patient with ovarian cancer, even less in those who are metastatic. The main objective of this study was to assess and describe the performance´s in patients suffering from ovarian cancer in terms of function and cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Methods: Patients willing to join therapeutic exercise program (TEP) were at the Medical Oncology Unit of the Hospital Virgen de la Victoria, Malaga. A physiotherapist carried out an interview and a baseline assessment. The following outcomes were recorded: number of repetitions (n) performed in 30 seconds sit-to-stand test (30-STS), handgrip strength (Kg), cancer related fatigue (CRF) measured by Piper Fatigue Scale (0-10), upper and lower limb function measured by Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) and Lower Upper Limb Functional Index (LLFI), respectively (%). Results: Patients recruited had a diagnosed of an advanced ovarian cancer receiving or not active treatment. All participants had a good performance status (PS) and signed informed consent. 8 women were included, with a mean age of 52.66 (9.53) years and a mean BMI of 27.22 (4.56) kg/m2. Women performed 22 (4.24) repetitions of 30-STS test. Handgrip strength was 22 (2.7) Kg and CRF 5.43 (2.91) points. Patients reported 64.81% (34.65) and 66.83% (37.91) in ULFI and LLFI questionnaires, respectively. Conclusions: At the light of these preliminary results, ovarian cancer patients present a good level of function measured by 30-STS and a good grip strength. However, they report a moderate level of CRF and affected upper and lower limbs function. In additions, patients measured had function enough to participate in a therapeutic exercise program. Given the heterogeneity of the sample and its low number of participants, future studies with a wider sample should be carried out.

Objectives: The aim of our study is to evaluate the possible association of serum magnesium in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy. Study Design: Cross-sectional observational. Setting: Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Period: September, 2018 to May, 2019. Material & Methods: A total of 258 subjects were enrolled in the study. They were divided in 3 groups, which comprised of 208 diabetic patients; 92 with retinopathy, 116 without retinopathy and the control group comprised of 50 healthy individuals. Both cases and controls were subjected to blood tests for the estimation of biochemical parameters. Results: A considerable decrease was observed in the serum magnesium level of diabetics in comparison with the healthy participants. The mean serum magnesium levels amongst the groups were 1.5 ± 0.2 mg/dl and 2.4 ± 0.3 mg/dl respectively (p<0.001). There was also a marked variation in serum levels of magnesium among diabetic retinopathy patients and diabetics without complications i.e.1.3±0.1 mg/dl and 1.69±0.1 mg/dl respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy displayed significantly lower serum magnesium levels in contrast to the control group and diabetics without retinopathy.

Abstract:
Social historians have identified in late nineteenth-century English Canada a passion for social reform, largely initiated and organized by white, middle-class, Protestant Canadians, and designed to teach Canadian society greater compassion, equality, and humanity. Responding to the changes wrought in a rapidly industrializing, expanding nation, social reformers hoped to alleviate the suffering caused by social hierarchies, particularly the physical distress of the working poor and the stifling confinement of middle-class women. During this same period, a developing nationalist discourse insisted that Canada, for reasons of its youth, political institutions, climate, and racial composition, was already far in advance of other nations in its superior tolerance, egalitarianism, and sympathy for the weak. The tensions, accommodations, and contradictions resulting from the intersection of nationalist and reform discourses is the focus of my study. Although the social concerns of this period have been the subject of a number of recent sociological and historical studies, very little attention has been paid to social criticism in English-Canadian literary texts. To remedy such neglect, this study examines the social problem novel in the context of a broad range of non-literary texts, such as addresses to the Royal Society, social reform essays, political editorials, and reports to reform organizations. I analyze how these texts together produce, contest, or defend an ideal of Canada as a classless, just, and harmonious New World nation. To examine this problematic and productive conjunction of nationalism and social criticism, I give close attention to three novels that form the centre-piece of my study: Agnes Machar's Roland Graeme. Knight (1892), Joanna Wood's The Untempered Wind (1894), and Amelia Fytche's Kerchiefs to Hunt Souls (1895). Reading these three novels as representative in their discursive strategies, I conclude that the social problem text took on the task of generating compassion among the educated and influential middle classes for the socially marginal in Canadian society: the poor, the intemperate, the fallen, and the transgressive. In these texts, compassion depends on the representation of undeserved, decorous suffering. Through such representations, these novels are engaged in two processes of definition. They define appropriate objects of philanthropic intervention at the same time as they define the nature and the boundaries of the sympathetic Canadian community. Social problem literature constructs ideal figures deserving hitherto-denied inclusion in this community, but invariably these narratives also identify and expel those who fall outside the community's bounds. Thus, social problem discourses reveal some of the fundamental cultural debates of the period and give us insight into the creation and consolidation of a hegemonic humanist ethic that continues to dominate representations of Canada and social justice today.

Abstract:
This research conducted according to the phenomenological method investigated the Pauline concept of suffering. It traces the historical development in Paul's thinking on suffering. The two lines of Paul's suffering are his personal suffering - his struggle with the thorn in the flesh; and his suffering through persecution for Christ's sake. It is through his personal suffering that Paul endears himself to his readers. 2 Cor.12:1-10 reveals the function of the thorn - it brings vindication. Paul's personal suffering merges with his suffering for Christ, and the note of joy, hope, glory and vindication is emphasized. Just as Paul shares in Christ's suffering, he will share in the victory and glory too. Paul sees his suffering in the light of Christ's suffering and the suffering of his readers in the light of his suffering.

Abstract:
Violence in traditional “satisfaction” atonement theologies is addressed here. An alternative non-violent view follows in discussion with Weaver / Heim. Weaver outlines a nonviolent Jesus narrative focussing on God’s rule made visible in history. Jesus’ saving death stems not from God but Jesus’ opposing evil powers. For viability violent biblical texts are disregarded. Church history interpretation is nonconventional. Early church is nonviolent. The subsequent Constantinian “fall” births the violent satisfaction model. Weaver’s problematical violence definition receives attention. Girard’s scapegoating philosophy and Jesus’ rescuing humankind from this evil undergirds Heim’s approach. Scapegoating establishes communal peace preventing violence. The bible is antisacrificial giving victims a voice. Jesus becomes a scapegoating victim, yet simultaneously exposes and reverses scapegoating, his death stemming from evil powers not God. Nonviolent atonement influences numerous theological concepts with Incarnational theology demonstrating Jesus’ humanness impacting upon atonement. Four ways to live out transformation established by Jesus’ saving work follow.

Abstract:
This chapter offers an alternative view of the incidence and duration of insurgencies in the postcolonial world. Insurgencies and civil wars are seen as the primary symptom of state weakness, the inability of the central government to monopolize violence. Challenging extant explanations that identify poverty and low state capacity as the cause of insurgencies, the chapter shows that colonial insurgencies, also occurring in the context of poverty and state weakness, were shorter and ended in regime victories, while contemporary insurgencies are longer and states are less successful at subduing them. The reason for this is the development of exclusive identities—based on ethnicity, religion, tribe—in the colonial period. These identities serve as bases for mobilization to challenge state power and demand services from the state. Either way, such mobilization means that popular demands for services exceed the willingness to disarm and/or pay taxes, that is, to supply the state.

Abstract:
The Queen and the bat had been talking a good deal that afternoon...' The Victorian fascination with fairyland vivified the literature of the period, and led to some of the most imaginative fairy tales ever written. They offer the shortest path to the age's dreams, desires, and wishes. Authors central to the nineteenth-century canon such as W. M. Thackeray, Oscar Wilde, Ford Madox Ford, and Rudyard Kipling wrote fairy tales, and authors primarily famous for their work in the genre include George MacDonald, Juliana Ewing, Mary De Morgan, and Andrew Lang. This anthology brings together fourteen of the best stories, by these and other outstanding practitioners, to show the vibrancy and variety of the form and its abilities to reflect our deepest concerns. In tales of whimsy and romance, witty satire and uncanny mystery, love, suffering, family and the travails of identity are imaginatively explored. Michael Newton's introduction and notes provide illuminating contextual and biographical information about the authors and the development of the literary fairy tale. A selection of original illustrations is also included.

Shows the robust nonhuman concern in Romantic works through new readings of Mary Shelley, Burns, Wordsworth, Clare, and Coleridge. The chapter traces these themes and forms of threatened, abject life as an expansive multispecies community of suffering. These works interrogate the weakness of expressive forms, performing the very captivity they lament. Wordsworth’s poem on the Bartholomew Fair is a fulcrum to the London studies in the book. These forms of expression are then examined in Dickens’s narratology and the narrator-object Esther in Bleak House.

Full text
Abstract:
This book explores Victorian fictional representations of care communities, small voluntary groups that coalesce around someone in need. Drawing lessons from Victorian sociality, the book proposes a theory of communal care and a mode of critical reading centered on an ethics of care. In the Victorian era, medical science offered little hope for cure of illness or disability, and chronic invalidism and lengthy convalescences were common. Small communities might gather around afflicted individuals to minister to their needs and palliate their suffering. The book examines these groups in the novels of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Henry James, and Charlotte Yonge, and studies the relationships that they exemplify. How do carers become part of the community? How do they negotiate status? How do caring emotions develop? And what does it mean to think of care as an activity rather than a feeling? Contrasting the Victorian emphasis on community and social structure with modern individualism and interiority, the book takes us closer to the worldview from which these novels emerged. It also considers the ways in which these models of carework could inform and improve practice in criticism, in teaching, and in our daily lives. Through the lens of care, the book discovers a vital form of communal relationship in the Victorian novel. It also demonstrates that literary criticism done well is the best care that scholars can give to texts.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how the destruction of Victoria’s household through the deaths of her mother and husband in 1861 tested her faith, prompting an anguished search for spiritual and material sources of consolation. While this alarmed her friends and advisers, it also created a new template for popular attitudes to the throne, as preachers encouraged their congregations to feel emotional community with the mourning Queen. Victoria’s insistence that she had a religious obligation to pile up ever more baroque monuments to her husband’s virtues, ranging from the Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore and the Albert Memorial Chapel to a series of pious memoirs, eventually generated resistance and scepticism. Nonethelessas later chapters will show, her widowhood became an enduring symbol of her soft power, which allowed preachers to wax eloquent on her lonely suffering.

Abstract:
Evidence of declining well-being and increasing rates of depression and other mental illnesses has been linked with modern humans’ separation from nature. Landscapes become therapeutic when physical and built environments, social conditions, and human perceptions combine. Highlighting the contextual factors underpinning this separation from nature, this chapter outlines three Australian case studies to illustrate the links between therapeutic landscapes, restorative environments, place attachment, and well-being.

Abstract:
This chapter look at cases that complicate any simple correlation between victorious wars and veterans' high postwar status. It examines the United States and the United Kingdom after World War I, the United Kingdom after World War II, Soviet veterans after both world wars, and China. It also elaborates how victory did not prevent many former soldiers from feeling betrayed by their governments, and often by society as well. The chapter discusses American World War I veterans that point to some gains after a limited contribution to the war effort and after many years of agitation. It describes the United Kingdom, long-suffering frontoviki in the USSR, and China's veterans that languished in obscurity for decades despite having paid a far higher price for their victory.

Abstract:
This chapter poses the foundational ethical questions of the text: how are readers meant to understand and respond to fictional bodies’ pain – and what are they meant to do in response? To answer these questions, the chapter turns to the short story ‘The Hospital Patient’ by Charles Dickens. According to Dickens, to best understand and empathise with the anguish of those who suffer, one must read with the scientific and literary attention that turns stories into material experience. ‘Boz’, Dickens’s pen-name, appears in the text as both storyteller and Associationist scientist, but both positions require him to act on feeling. The story itself becomes a model for readers, to teach them to read empathetically – because he believes feeling is the source of literary authority. The chapter uses the physical phenomenon of light to explore memory as James Mill understood it, and memory’s connection to sympathy through Smith and Hume. These concepts help to contextualise what empathy means within medical history and the emergence of social barriers like professional, governmentally regulated medicine. Ultimately, the chapter argues that empathy best takes place in readers who read fictional bodies as surfaces.
