Abstract:

The NCUACS was founded in Oxford in 1973 as the Contemporary Scientific Archives Centre, moving to the University of Bath with its present title in 1987. Thus 2003 marked our 30th anniversary: a time to celebrate achievement, take stock and prepare for future challenges. Our mission is to locate, catalogue and find permanent homes for the archives of contemporary British scientists and engineers, and thus preserve and make accessible the original source materials for the history of science. We are not an archive repository but a highly cost–effective processing centre. As specialists in scientific archives we act as intermediaries between the scientists or the scientist's families who own the archives and hand them over to the Unit for cataloguing, and the archive repositories that will look after them permanently and provide access to researchers who wish to consult them.

Abstract:

This chapter analyses the influence of contemporary ideals of valour, physical strength, and martial skill on male court fashions. It outlines the various channels that enabled the propagation of martial styles and begins by examining the close relationship between inner valour and outward display, highlighting the meanings ascribed to the words “bravo” and “bravura” in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Italian texts and imagery. Florentine courtiers were surrounded by idealised representations and performances of warfare, including mock battles with lavish costumes that were a key feature of Medici propaganda. Soldiers and mercenaries were themselves frequently characterised as fashion setters, associated with gaudy colours, flamboyance, and ornate decorations considered inappropriate male attire in many civic contexts. The chapter proceeds to focus on three key aspects of male dress connected with military might and physical strength: leather upper garments, frogged fastenings on cloaks and gowns, and adherent, short trunk hose. Consumer demand for these styles and their cultural meanings are traced through contemporary literature, visual sources, and archival records.

Abstract:

AbstractRepresentation is never neutral, especially when it comes to agents devoid of their own voice. As such, wildlife has often been employed as a sort of leverage point, an emotional trigger aimed to deliver a certain message (see e.g., Cronin, 2011). The establishment of the Bavarian Forest National Park (BFNP) coincided with the return of large carnivores to the region, in particular, lynxes. Lynxes are endemic to the area; however, as in many other parts of Europe, the last free-roaming individuals were eradicated in the middle of the nineteenth century. In the past few decades, slowly, lynxes were both reintroduced or came back on their own volition, and that has created a considerable response from the population. There has been extensive coverage of the return of these animals both in local and regional media. Lynxes are also kept in the enclosures of the BFNP to afford visitors an unmediated look at the native charismatic megafauna. In this chapter, I analyse how lynxes have been represented in the local media, the newspaper Grafenauer Anzeiger, and discuss merits and drawbacks of visual analysis research method in understanding the change in attitudes towards these animals’ presence in the BFNP area. For that, I look at the archival and contemporary publications of the newspaper. It has been said that the precondition for people’s understanding of reality lays in fantasy, in imagining things to be true (Bergman, 2013). A visual analysis method can help uncover stories that do not necessarily come to the fore in text, and that, in turn, makes it possible to have a fuller grasp of one’s research object. Andrew Isenberg once said that “[our] representations of wildlife are inescapably expressions of human values” (Isenberg, 2002), and while texts are important in their own regard, visual analysis gives an opportunity to look behind a textual narrative to discern whether what we see of the wildlife corresponds to what we understand.

Abstract:

This chapter looks at how social research gradually became organized through the work of our pioneers. It starts by looking at the growth of both universities and academic disciplines (like anthropology and sociology) as key backgrounds for understanding the growth of organized research. A major section discusses a range of early research agencies — the Colonial Research Council, Political and Economic Planning (PEP), the Institute of Community Studies, the CSO (Central Statistical Office), the SSRC, Social Science Research Council, and the UK Data Archive. Some new university-based centres are also considered: medical social science at Aberdeen, methods at Surrey and the BCCS (Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies). There are brief discussions of the Banbury Study with Meg Stacey and Colin Bell; and the Affluent Worker study. The chapter closes with some pioneering work on quantitative research, longitudinal studies and the rise of computing.

Abstract:

Stephen Knight offers an array of new material from nineteenth-century media (newspapers and magazines) made accessible by the digitisation of archival records. Knight showcases extraordinary examples of extra-canonical Chaucer reception that highlight the emerging literary proclivities of the reading public, and the interest of nineteenth-century editors in re-presenting Chaucer’s works to larger audiences and targeting specific groups: women, children, the well-read. These newly available sources open up avenues for further enquiry into the roots of modern medievalism.

This chapter contains four pieces on the topic of health and medicine all of which either directly link to or are pertinent in the context of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic. Emily Baum’s piece focuses on the way the Chinese state has employed Traditional Chinese Medicine practices as softpower tools not only in diplomatic endeavours but also in reaching out to an imagined cultural community of Chinese people across the globe. Dino Ge Zhang’s piece focuses on We-Chat groups as field sites of social-viral-technical epidemiology and the dual role they played in creating a both positive and negative affective community during Wuhan’s lock-down. Liz P.Y.Chee takes a critical look at the medicinal use of animals in TCM and calls for a desanctification of so-called traditional practices. Sophie Xiaofe Guo’s piece, through her discussion of Taiwanese artist Pei-Ying Lin’s work, invites the reader to embrace virophilia instead of viewing viruses as microbes that need to be eliminated.

Abstract:

Octave Lebesgue (1857–1933), better known by the pen name Georges Montorgeuil, was a contemporary of Georges Gilles de la Tourette. They were brought together by their anticlerical, progressive political ideas and by friends in common, and both made significant advances in their professional careers during the last decade of the nineteenth century. Their epistolary exchange is conserved in the French National Archives in Paris, but has been neglected until now. Beyond their close friendship, it reveals the mutual favors exchanged between them. Well-connected in the political world of the Third Republic, Montorgueil helped build Gilles de la Tourette’s reputation. The detriments of this media coverage came at a time when Gilles de la Tourette’s illness began to disrupt his behavior and weaken his judgment. Decline marked the final years of this neuropsychiatrist, whose fame had been in part due to the support of his journalist friend.

Abstract:

In the last 40 years, the needs of and demands for health care both in the UK and worldwide have increased dramatically. These increases are related to the population ageing, the development of new technologies and knowledge, rising patient expectations, and associated increases in professional expectations about the possibilities and potential of health care (Muir Gray 1997 ). In this period, the key policy concerns of the international health care community have been about containing costs and enabling equitable access to high quality health care, while also ensuring greater accountability, patient satisfaction, and improved public health (Lohr et al. 1998). Health care resources are finite and must be shared equitably on the basis of need, capacity to benefit, and effectiveness. The use of high quality research evidence and guidelines to inform individual patient care and population health care have become central to this process. In the mid-1970s, various writers began to question the effectiveness of medicine and the increasingly wider influence exerted by the medical profession on society. For example, McKeown (1976) mapped mortality rates for the main killer airborne diseases (tuberculosis, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diptheria, and smallpox) against contemporary advances in medicine from the mid-19th century to the early 1970s. He found that the declines in the incidence and prevalence of communicable diseases had occurred before their microbial cause had been identified and before an effective clinical intervention had been developed. McKeown concluded that the declines in mortality rates were not attributable to immunization and therapy and suggested the declines could more reasonably be attributed to better nutrition and improved housing conditions which had occurred over the period. Allied to McKeown’s historical analysis was the work of Archie Cochrane who evaluated contemporary clinical practice in the 1970s. In his seminal work Effectiveness and Efficiency , Cochrane (1972) showed that many medical treatments provided in the NHS were ineffective, inefficient, and founded on medical opinion rather than on a rigorous assessment of efficacy and effectiveness. Box 7.1 defines the terms efficacy, effective, and efficiency.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter outlines the rationale for a volume devoted to Museum Archaeology and argues that it is the concept of ‘archaeological context’ that provides a disciplinary centre. This entails a shift from curation of single objects to the curation of relationships among objects, archives, fieldsites, and people. Museum Archaeology can and should be a critical awareness of the histories and agencies that form assemblages, a reflexive practice for ongoing archaeological documentation and analysis, and a responsive, sensitive, and community-engaged approach to interpretation and access. How these principles are developed through the volume is presented here, alongside a summary of the seven themed sections: (A) collecting, categorizing, and challenging histories; (B) contemporary agencies of curation and communities of practice; (C) locating museums and collections; (D) alternative materialities: beyond finds; (E) fieldwork in the museum; (F) exhibitionary cultures; and (G) expanding and transcending the museum: social justice and digital frontiers.

Abstract:

This chapter unpacks the contemporary efforts of private foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to use the Global South as a laboratory ready for experiments, whether in the form of radically changing social norms or testing new technologies. With Silicon Valley as their ideological epicentre, and spurred on by the immense wealth creation of the past decades, a new group of American philanthropists and private foundations has emerged to take centre stage in the experimental movement. These hyper actors have enormous expectations about their ability to change the world, driving what they see as a global social revolution through technological innovation and experimentation. Steering this train of thought and action today is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. An immense political and economic force, investing billions of dollars in medical and social research and experimentation, the foundation is currently at full throttle towards shaping the lives of poor people and poor nations. By experimenting with the development of new toilets, vaccines, or social norm change throughout the Global South it furthers a view of this part of the world as a form of live laboratory in which the failure of technical and social experiments and interventions is necessary for social progress. From the outset of the Gates Foundation, the chapter explores the role of private foundations in shaping and pushing the experimental movement forwards in the Global South.

Abstract:

The Casali and the Architectures of the Campagna Romana in the Late Middle Ages. Archeaological and archive sourcesThe territory of the Roman countryside in the Late Middle Ages was extended from the city of Rome to 40 miles in the Suburb, between the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Albani Mountains, the Lepini Mountains and the course of the Tiber. In the twelfth century various events started in this territory which will greatly influence its appearance until today: the castra arise, as forms of aggregation of a territory enclosed by defensive elements; burgi and villae, small fortified centers; and the casali, special production farmhouses characterized by the presence of a tower and other defensive, residential and productive structures. The militarization of the landscape began for reasons partly linked to the general instability of the period. Despite the basic differentiations in the forms of the population as in the functionalities themselves entrusted to the circumscribed territory, the forms of the basic architecture remained the same: the tower, the walls, albeit in variety in terms of technique, magnificence and complexity. This research can be tackled thanks to a direct analysis of the architecture of the towers which characterize the Roman countryside, occasionally accompanied by other elements, like the walls. The results of this study can be compared with the information reported in medieval sources, in which a specific language is used to describe the architecture and the characteristics of every form of human anthropization. The analysis of the differences and affinities between these territorially structures and the comparison with the contemporary urban architectures, allows to recreate a general picture of the architecture in the Roman countryside in the Low Middle Ages.

Abstract Introduction Acute adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in day care chemotherapy are not uncommon and easily manageable many a time. However, sometimes they may lead to untoward events. It is of paramount importance to document and analyze such events in contemporary medical oncology practice for the best utilization and planning of available personnel and resources. Objectives This study was aimed to analyze the acute ADRs occurring in day care cancer chemotherapy setting. Materials and Methods All acute ADRs reported in day care cancer chemotherapy setting, during the administration of chemotherapy, at Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, were included in the study from June 15, 2020 to September 30, 2020. The ADRs were classified in to anaphylactic, allergic, and gastrointestinal (nausea/vomiting/heart burns/chest tightness). All ADRs were graded according to CTCAE version 5.0. Suspected drugs, time to reaction, and corrective measures were analyzed. Results During the study period, a total of 8,600 sessions of day care chemotherapy were administered. ADRs were noticed in 83 cases (~1%). Among the reported ADRs, anaphylactic reactions were noted in 20 patients (24%); allergic reactions of grades 1 and 2 were noted in 41 patients (49%). Gastrointestinal ADRs were noted in 30 patients (36%). Adverse reactions are mostly seen in oxaliplatin (22.8%), rituximab (14.4%), paclitaxel (15.6%), carboplatin (13.2%), and docetaxel (7.2%). In grade-I (10%) and grade-II (63%) resections, supportive treatment was provided and chemotherapy was continued. Grade-III ADRs were noted in 21 patients (25%) out of whom, 3 patients required short-term intensive care, chemotherapy was withheld until the next cycle in one patient, and chemotherapy regimen was changed in 3 patients. No patient died of ADR. Conclusion Serious ADRs are rare in contemporary medical oncology practice during day care chemotherapy administration. Most acute ADRs were easily managed.
