Abstract:

Carmen Blacker was an outstanding scholar of Japanese culture, known internationally for her writings on religion, myth and folklore – her most notable work being The Catalpa Bow: A Study of Shamanistic Practices in Japan. Importantly, a third of the volume comprises significant extracts from the author’s diaries covering a period of more than forty years, together with a plate section drawn from her extensive photographic archive, thus providing a rare opportunity to gain a personal insight into the author’s life and work. The volume includes a wide selection of writings from distinguished scholars such as Donald Keene and her former pupil Peter Kornicki in celebration of her work and legacy, together with various essays and papers by Carmen Blacker herself that have hitherto not been widely available. In addition to her scholarship, Carmen Blacker was also highly regarded for her work in promoting Japanese Studies at Cambridge and played a vital role in helping to re-establish The Japan Society, London, post-war.

Full text

Abstract:

Focusing on the interrelationship between Jacob van Loo's art, honor, and career, this book argues that Van Loo's lifelong success and unblemished reputation were by no means incompatible, as art historians have long assumed, with his specialization in painting nudes and his conviction for manslaughter. Van Loo's iconographic specialty - the nude - allowed his clientele to present themselves as judges of beauty and display their mastery of decorum, while his portraiture perfectly expressed his clients' social and political ambitions. Van Loo's honor explains why his success lasted a lifetime, whereas that of Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Vermeer did not. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book reinterprets the manslaughter case as a sign that Van Loo's elite patrons recognized him as a gentleman and highly-esteemed artist.

Abstract:

This chapter is the first of a set of four chapters exploring the themes of the book more empirically within particular health care organizations. This chapter analyses the bureaucratic career of a succession of national-level service improvement agencies apparent in the English health care sector since around 2000. There have also been a series of reorganizations in this domain which have consistently failed to secure a high level of autonomy; their bureaucratic career as agencies has therefore been somewhat disappointing. We also examine the types of preferred management knowledge espoused by these agencies, which absorbed and then disseminated to the health care field conventional forms of private firm related and business school produced knowledge, which has been highly influential in the latest cycle. However, there is also evidence of some interesting exceptions (public value, social movements) to this pattern which we had not expected and which complicate the assessment.

Kidd, Edwina, and Ole Fejerskov. Essentials of Dental Caries. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198738268.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

Dental caries (tooth decay) is one of the most highly prevalent disease around the world affecting a significant proportion of the population. Dental caries may take place on any tooth surface in the oral cavity where dental plaque is allowed to develop over a period of time. Understanding its causes and progression allows the dental team to prevent and manage it so that patients can maintain healthy teeth for life. The fourth edition of Essentials of Dental Caries provides readers with an up-to-date, clinically relevant guide to dental caries. Written in an accessible style, the authors explain the biological and socioeconomic background of lesion development and progress. Current methods of clinical diagnosis and evidence based management are outlined in clearly laid out and highly illustrated chapters. This book is essential reading for students and practitioners of dentistry, dental therapy, dental hygiene, and oral health educators.

Abstract:

Health care systems are both highly institutionalized and highly professionalized. We suggest that both characteristics should be considered to understand the underlying power dynamics and how organizational change can occur. Although these characteristics have mostly been considered separately, we identify three ways they are being brought together and show how each reveals different underlying power dynamics that in turn suggest different explanations of organizational change. To conclude, we set out three avenues for future research that will continue to advance our knowledge of change in health care.

Full text

Abstract:

Inspired by the celebrated pianist-bandleaders Eddy Duchin and Carmen Cavallaro and the cinematic technique of José Iturbi in Hollywood films, pianist-entertainer Liberace (1919–1987) developed a distinctive and highly successful aesthetic and performance style that prioritized visual spectacle and emphasized the tactile elements of his playing. As evident in his first Soundies from 1943, then his nationally syndicated television show in the 1950s, Liberace highlighted the physicality and materiality of his music-making, an approach that later evolved into the signature props and flashy costumes of his live stage shows. The new medium of television enabled Liberace to integrate the traditions of Romantic pianism with new genres of popular music in a highly embodied manner that appealed to his fans as much as it bothered his critics invested in music’s physical and material transcendence.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter presents a commentary on David Lynch's film career. It focuses on how plastic is the prime matter of his filmmaking, essential to his understanding of cinema. It takes up plasticity's capacity for infinite transformation as an architectural and design dynamic, a feature of mise-enscène, and a mode of fashioning and psychologizing cinematic space. It then explores the emotional registers of plasticity, attempting to explain a key affective paradox in Lynch's work: the way it seems both so manifestly insincere and so emotionally powerful, so impersonal and so intense. Finally, it considers Lynch's persistent tendency to think of forms of media and forms of life as related species. Here, plastic is useful for conceptualizing his picture of the human organism as malleable and heterogeneous. The films examined in this chapter include Eraserhead (1977), The Elephant Man (1980), and Lost Highway (1997).

Abstract:

‘Making Egyptian art and architecture’ looks at the evidence for how artists, craftspeople, and architects, such as Irtysen from around 2000 bc, learned their trades and carried out their work, providing insights into the meanings and relationships that art and architecture helped create in ancient Egyptian society. The natural world was exploited for materials to create a wide array of objects and buildings: the mould-made, fired faience for Horudja’s shabti; the carved sandstone and architectural design for the temple of Dendur; the highly polished granodiorite of the Sekhmet statues; the carved, joined, and painted wood of Djed-djehuty-iwef-ankh’s nested coffins; and the linen required to embalm bodies.

Abstract:

The VA is the largest and most comprehensive health care system in the United States today. It aims to provide integrated, seamless continuum of person-directed care blending healing approaches across the lifespan. This chapter reviews the VA elements that support this highly sophisticated and effective system, including primary care, mental health, geriatrics, extended care and palliative care, integrative health, and education. The chapter also provides an overview of the philosophical transformation occurring within the VA where disease care is shifting to a whole-health system where the veteran, not the disease, is at the center of care. The Integrative Health and Wellness Program at the Washington DC VA is highlighted as a program that exemplifies this transformation.

Full text

Abstract:

The changing demographics of the end-stage renal failure population have necessitated a different focus of care for older or highly co-morbid patients. End-of-life care for this population is best provided by combined nephrological and palliative care input. Honest prognostic information, excellent communication, and understanding the patient’s own priorities lie at the heart of this type of care. Excellent symptom control, a reduction in treatment burdens, and an effective network of professional support can be offered by clinicians. Ensuring a renal patient is able to die well and providing support for their family during and after death are important aspects of nephrological care.

Abstract:

Although Bester spoke disapprovingly of his early career, dismissing all of his stories written before 1950 as juvenilia, he produced several promising works in the early 1940s, most notably “The Probable Man,” “Adam and No Eve,” and “Hell Is Forever.” These stories appeared in leading markets such as Astounding and Unknown but pushed beyond them, at once invoking and subverting the conventions of the standard techno-adventure. This chapter demonstrates that even at this early stage in his career, Bester experimented with SF reading protocols in highly self-conscious ways. It also traces the emergence of key elements of his approach, including the use of hybrid SF-mystery plots, metanarration, metafictional references, the frame story, pastiche, extra-coding, and ambiguous resolutions

Eccles, John. Incidental Music, Part 2. Edited by Estelle Murphy. A-R Editions, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31022/b220.

Full text

Abstract:

John Eccles's active theatrical career spanned a period of about sixteen years, though he continued to compose occasionally for the theater after his semi-retirement in 1707. During his career he wrote incidental music for more than seventy plays, writing songs that fit perfectly within their dramatic contexts and that offered carefully tailored vehicles for his singers’ talents while remaining highly accessible in tone. This edition includes music composed by Eccles for plays beginning with the letters H–P. These plays were fundamentally collaborative ventures, and multiple composers often supplied the music; thus, this edition includes all the known songs and instrumental items for each play. Plot summaries of the plays are given along with relevant dialogue cues, and the songs are given in the order in which they appear in the drama (when known).

Abstract:

The introduction of highly potent antiretroviral agents has transformed HIV from a disease with a once dismal prognosis to a manageable chronic medical condition. The primary care provider as well as the HIV care provider must focus on aspects of preventive medicine that improve the quality of life and life expectancy of the HIV-infected person. Accurate record-keeping is essential, and examples of HIV primary care flow sheets are presented in this chapter. In addition, tuberculosis screening indications and methods are reviewed. Regular preventative dental and gynecological care should be given. Reviewing the treatment of traditional cardiovascular risk factors with patients will be helpful in educating them and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract:

Somatic symptom and illness anxiety disorders are highly prevalent conditions that are not adequately recognized and treated in many countries around the world. This chapter reviews the best world practices in diagnosing and treating these conditions in integrated care settings. The authors suggest that a paradigm shift in the health care culture and organizational structure toward the abandonment of mind–body dualism and establishment of a biopsychosocial model of care is essential for successful identification and treatment of these challenging disorders. This includes the integration of medical, psychiatric, and special psychosomatic treatments; a multidisciplinary team approach; and stepped organization of care. Targeting the multidisciplinary teams of clinicians and health care organizations and using a systems approach to health care reorganization, this chapter highlights treatment approaches and care pathways for these conditions that have been shown to be clinically effective and to reduce costs and inefficient use of health care resources.

Full text

Abstract:

Successfully weaning patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation requires the varied expertise of a dedicated multidisciplinary care team. Traditionally, this care was provided in acute care hospitals, increasingly these patients are transferred to specialized weaning centres. These may improve patient outcomes by concentrating weaning expertise in a low-acuity environment and implementing protocols for liberation from mechanical ventilation. However, these centres might also worsen patient outcomes because they typically offer less intense nurse and physician staffing compared with traditional intensive care units. Generally, the clinical evidence is mixed, with the best studies suggesting that weaning centres offer similar outcomes as acute care hospitals, but at lower costs. Health systems also might stand to gain from dedicated weaning centres, because they can release intensive care unit beds for more acutely-ill patients. Many gaps remain in our understanding of which patients should be transferred to dedicated weaning centres, the optimal timing of transfer, and the best approach to care for patients in this highly specialized setting.

Abstract:

States and employers are increasingly selecting highly skilled immigrants according to labour market qualifications and broad human capital attributes. This chapter considers the gender implications of the focus on skills through an examination of the different career trajectories of men and women. In particular, it considers the acknowledgement of part-time and non-continuous work in skilled immigration policy design as well as the potentially discriminatory effects of age limits. In doing so, it applies feminist theories from industrial relations and economics to the examination of skilled immigration policies in twelve countries, demonstrating variation across countries in their awareness to gender concerns.

Full text

Abstract:

Pre- and inter-hospital transport medicine has become a highly specialized branch of critical care and emergency medicine practices, and is an integral part of modern health care. It can have a significant impact on mortality and morbidity when used appropriately. However, it also poses very unique challenges involving extension of hospital resources into often unfamiliar and sometimes austere and hostile arenas in the out-of-hospital setting. The very nature of critical care also means that the patient is profoundly ill or injured, and needs intensive monitoring and treatment with limited secondary support and personnel in the limited space of an ambulance, helicopter, or fixed wing aircraft. Accordingly, to optimize safety and patient care under these circumstances, specific guidelines and strict regulations regarding critical care transport have been implemented. Protocols and policies need to be in place to ensure optimal care, and safety for both patients and transport crews with contingencies for unanticipated weather and altitude challenges, and should also address key issues.

Abstract:

Depression is highly prevalent among individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Depression not only affects quality of life for this population but also confers significant barriers to optimizing self-care behaviors, which are essential to medical care. Two of the most important HIV/AIDS care behaviors are medication adherence and safe sex practices; inadequacy in both can be associated with depression. Depression among those living with HIV/AIDS also is associated with substance abuse, which in turn predicts poor self-care. Importantly, there has recently been an emphasis on creating and testing integrative psychosocial interventions that address depression and self-care behaviors among people living with HIV/AIDS. These combination treatments have displayed initial efficacy and appear to be efficient in addressing multiple health behaviors. This chapter briefly reviews the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS and salient biological outcomes in the context of depression. It then discusses the role of depression and self-care behaviors and it concludes with a review of interventions and future research priorities.

Abstract:

Assessing quality of end-of-life (EOL) care is a challenging but essential task in hospice and palliative medicine. Patients die in diverse settings, and patients and families experience EOL care differently. Using a mortality follow-back methodology, this study assessed family/informants of patients who died in the United States in 2000. Informants were asked about EOL care outcomes, including whether patients received physical and emotional support, were treated with respect, received well-coordinated care, participated in shared decision-making with medical teams, and whether family received adequate information and support. The results showed that families of patients who died with hospice services were better supported and perceived that the decedents had fewer unmet needs, were more likely to be treated with respect, and received highly rated care. Patients and families who received hospice support in a home environment had better EOL care experiences than those who died in other settings.

Full text

Abstract:

Paediatric critical care retrieval provides some of the most challenging clinical scenarios for the retrieval physician. Children have a relatively low incidence of critical illness in comparison to adults and they constitute a minority of the population (around 20% or less in high-income countries). Approximately 50% of critically ill children are under 2 years of age, with a more even age-distribution from pre-school through to school-age and teenage years. Consequently, paediatric intensive care and paediatric intensive care retrieval are low volume, highly specialized areas of practice in healthcare systems that cater predominantly for adults. In comparison to neonatal retrieval, the case load in paediatric intensive care transport is small; however, there is a much wider spectrum of pathology. Thus, paediatric intensive care transport differs from both adult and neonatal retrieval. It requires appropriate specialist expertise and skills in the entire age-range and disease spectrum of paediatric intensive care as well as a well-designed paediatric retrieval system.

Full text

Abstract:

The feeding and rearing of infants are sociocultural and developmental processes, each with their own timetables that can either unite or diverge, depending on the wellbeing and physiological growth of the infant, and the needs of the mother or carer and the society in which they live. They are highly emotive and complex topics, which go to the heart of human relationships and behaviours, because they are regarded as important steps to achieving personhood and a social identity. Furthermore, because these processes begin during pregnancy, they rely on the intimate connections between a mother and foetus, and carer and baby. This chapter will examine these processes from pregnancy through to childhood, providing a framework to understand the practices and choices made by the Iron Age, Roman and Saxon communities in Britain and Europe.

Full text

Abstract:

Hospice and palliative care volunteering in the United States of America (USA) has changed dramatically since its inception in the late 1960s. Inspired by physician Dame Cicely Saunders, the modern hospice movement officially began in the USA in 1971 with Florence Wald founding the first hospice, Hospice, Inc., a non-profit in New Haven, Connecticut. Then in 1983, the US Congress established the Medicare Hospice Benefit, whose Conditions of Participation (CoPs) mandated that volunteers must provide administrative or direct patient care in an amount that, at a minimum, equals 5 per cent of the total patient care hours expended by all paid hospice employees and contract staff. Hence, every hospice programme must have a volunteer programme in order to receive reimbursement for services rendered. The primary forces currently shaping hospice and palliative care volunteering have been regulations, care quality, skill requirements, liability concerns, and changing business objectives in a highly competitive environment.

Abstract:

The prevalence of multifactoral distress is significant for cancer patients. In busy and highly specialized tumour clinics, screening for distress brings the science of caring to the team and enhances the role psychosocial oncology plays in the cancer centre. Standardized screening for distress is a simple and effective tool that can help the clinical team better understand, communicate, address patient concerns, and refer to the right professional in a timely way. Screening for distress has been widely endorsed and has become an accreditation standard in many jurisdictions around the world. Modern cancer care must incorporate screening for distress as routine practice in care of the patient.

Full text

Abstract:

Oceania is characterized by the diversity of countries and by highly variable provision of mental health services and community mental health care. Countries such as Australian and New Zealand have well-developed mental health services with a high level of provision, but many less developed countries lack mental health infrastructure. Some developing countries such as Samoa and Tonga have passed mental health legislation with provision for community treatment orders, but this legal measure is probably not a useful mechanism for advancing mental health care in developing countries. Instead, efforts to improve provision of care seem best directed to the primary care sector, and to the general health workforce, rather than to specialists. The UN CRPD offer extensions of human rights to people with mental illness and most countries in Oceania have signed it. However, the absence of a regional rights tribunal potentially limits the realization of those rights.

Doctors view the best relationship with patients in highly personal and idealistic terms, admitting through discussion of their own experiences that sustained interpersonal relationships with many patients are difficult to establish. For doctors, interpersonal trust with their patients looms as the central feature of strong, effective relationships. The ability to relate to patients on deeper psychological and emotional levels was the key focus for them in their work. They also cited other roles, such as friend and expert advisor, as important in gaining patient trust. Doctors’ views and their best patient relationship experiences emphasized the benefits of dyadic care delivery, even as the notion of the relational dyad finds less support within health care, given over instead to higher volume, transactionally oriented care relationships between organizations and patients.

Abstract:

State Prosecutor and legal reformer Erich Wulffen used the case study genre for legal and largely didactic purposes. Chapter 4 illustrates the adoption of the conventions of sexological case writing by the legal fraternity in twentieth-century Central Europe, and ways in which Wulffen brought the case study genre from the hidden world of the court to the wider public. In doing this, Wulffen carved a niche for himself as an expert in legal reform and sexology in Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany. He embraced different kinds of case modalities over the course of his professional career, targeting professional, middle-class audiences and the wider reading public during his thirty years in the role of prosecutor. The changing success of Wulffen’s publications highlights the intensifying crisis of the expert case study as a modality able to ‘speak the truth’ about modern sexuality and deviance. While Wulffen’s expert case studies about con men and other criminals were highly successful during the Wilhelmine era, the same approach and model for case writing met a more critical audience after 1918. Wulffen embraced the challenge of a new democratic environment by writing implicitly didactical popular crime novels. However, eventually his criminal subjects literally ‘wrote back’ after their sensationalised trials, using case studies in an attempt to narrate their own versions of events. The accounts of these criminals-turned-writers such as convicted paedophile Edith Cadivec. Thus the popularisation of sensationalist case studies, written, for instance, by perpetrators of crime, was an important factor in the case study genre’s loss of respectability.

Abstract:

Patients with life-limiting illness and their families require the skills of many professionals, but also the support of their community. Psychosocial issues for people with life-limiting and terminal illness are complex and require excellent team work and the ability to look beyond the obvious. Whilst most professionals are comfortable in assessing and supporting even the most intimate of physical problems, assessing and supporting the emotional, social, and spiritual sequelae of terminal illness is challenging. More attention has been given to the psychosocial needs of adults with cancer than for any other group. This new edition of a successful text examines current practice and provision of psychosocial care across the lifespan and includes neonatal palliative care, care of the frail elderly, those with dementia and the marginalized. It is a highly practical text, comprehensively reviewing the current literature and evidence in order to demonstrate good, and better, research-based practice in psychosocial care.

Abstract:

Voltaire arrived in London in May 1726, primarily to publish a definitive edition of his epic La Henriade as censorship made this impossible in France. ‘The Englishman’ describes how Voltaire immersed himself in English culture, frequently going to the theatre and making the acquaintance of the leading writers and poets of the day. Voltaire began writing his Letters on the English in England in 1727. The work comprises twenty-odd short essays dealing with religion, politics, science, and literature. Together they constitute the portrait of a culture and a manifesto of Enlightenment values. Letters on the English mark a highly significant moment in Voltaire’s career: his emergence as a great prose-writer.

Abstract:

Shakespeare’s restlessly imaginative exploration of the possibilities of comic form led him into new paths in four plays based on romance literature that show him continuing to experiment with new dramatic techniques. All their plots include highly improbable and supernatural elements. All tell of high-born families and lovers separated by catastrophe, sometimes natural, at other times humanly contrived. All span large areas of space and time and involve leading characters in suffering. Tragicomedy describes Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest before going on to discuss Shakespeare’s collaboration with John Fletcher at the very end of his career when they worked together on Cardenio, All Is True, and The Two Noble Kinsmen.

Abstract:

Bester’s writable approach, which took shape early in his career and peaked in the fifties, resulted in open texts with layered, incongruous meanings that invited readers to coproduce, even finish, his stories through active imagination. Bester produced this sense of excess through various types of pulp-modernist extra-coding—allusions, nonstandard orthography, synesthesia, and mixed-viewpoint narration, to name a few—but the reader-centered, writable patterns he created mattered more than any of these pyrotechnics alone. The conclusion argues that Bester is rightly remembered as a lodestar for SF’s venturers and nomads, largely because his self-conscious play with SF reading and writing protocols put the field in a highly productive dialogue with itself.

Abstract:

Personality disorders are highly prevalent and highly problematic in jails in prisons. Personality disorders, by definition, are associated with significant functional impairment of the affected individual and may negatively impact those around them. That impairment results from the way these individuals think and feel about themselves and others. Patients with personality disorder are often challenging to manage in the community. The difficulties associated with their care are accentuated in the confines and highly structured environments presented by jails and prisons. Inmates with personality disorders often require a disproportionate level of attention from correctional staff and their behavior can contribute to a dangerous environment inside a facility. Additionally, when compared to offenders with other psychiatric disorders or non-mentally disordered offenders, offenders with personality disorders have higher rates of violence, criminality, and recidivism. There are 4 personality disorders that are of particular clinical relevance to the correctional psychiatry setting: borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and paranoid personality disorder. Research also reflects that these disorders have the highest correctional prevalence rates among the personality disorders. For each of these four disorders, this chapter presents in turn a description and some management concerns and challenges, data on correctional prevalence, appropriate psychotherapy, and potential psychopharmacologic interventions.
