Full textAbstract:
A lack of sources makes it difficult to discover the personhood of premodern Japanese royal women—how they viewed themselves or wanted to be viewed by others. Hachijō-in (1137–1211), a royal heiress, strove to protect her lineage, which had begun to weaken in the political and military turmoil of the late twelfth century. Through a close analysis of her prayer of dedication (kōmon), this article explores how she reflected upon herself after undergoing a time of great difficulty as an unmarried royal daughter. In contrast to the historical overviews that typically emphasise the roles of medieval male royals and warriors, this study demonstrates that royal daughters also played significant religio-political roles. They developed a strong sense of responsibility for supporting royal authority and commemorating deceased family members. Hachijō-in’s prayer reveals her objectives, feelings and values as a woman through a deliberate construction of herself in front of the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman of Iwashimizu Shrine.

Full textAbstract:
When bringing precious things such as royal edict (敎書), investiture book (冊), and royal seal (寶), the processional band, called gochwi (鼓吹), is set up together with the small scale royal emblem (細仗). Compared to the front gochwi (前部鼓吹) accompanied during the king or queen's travels, this band is small scale, so to distinguish it from the front gochwi, it is called sejang gochwi (細仗鼓吹) for convenience's sake. There is an opinion that the sejang gochwi with the small scale emblem only lead in front without playing. To interrogate this, this study examines various cases of gochwi used in the rites for granting an honorific title from the King Seonjo (宣祖) to King Injo (仁祖) era.…

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. There is a growing focus on the need for an increased number of allied health professionals to reduce the pressure on acute hospitals through admission avoidance. There is little in the way of guidelines on how services should be delivered and a lack of evidence base demonstrating effectiveness. Methods. An audit has been carried out by the occupational therapy team in the Emergency Department to capture the total number of referrals to the occupational therapy service in the Emergency Department at Royal Berkshire Hospital and to capture discharge decisions made following occupational therapy input. Results. The occupational therapy team in the Emergency Department focuses particularly on admission avoidance using a home first approach to prevent patients from being admitted to acute wards. The results showed that the service was beneficial regarding both the number of referrals and the utilisation of various discharge destinations from the Emergency Department. Conclusion. The report has identified several areas for further research by the same team and implications for the wider literature base. The hope is that this report would highlight the role of occupational therapists working in the emergency department at Royal Berkshire Hospital and encourage the completion of further research in this area of practice.

Full textAbstract:
In September 2017, the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators adopted a new clinical governance framework that recognised healthcare as a complex adaptive system, and embraced the need for resilient thinking and understanding the differences between work-as-imagined by managers and work-as-done at the front line of patient care. Directors of medical services may soon be implementing the framework in health services across Australia. This perspective describes a new conceptual model that underpins the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators framework, and characterises the challenges faced by all healthcare professionals when trying to achieve safe care for patients in an environment of variable complexity and unpredictability.

The Royal Library, Copenhagen has made many attempts over the years to organise the huge collection of photographs held in its Department of Maps, Prints and Photographs into a formal museum of photography. Finally in 1996 the Royal Library created such a museum, and named it ‘The National Museum of Photography’. This museum within a library will be located in the new building at the City’s harbour front called The Black Diamond. The displays will show new as well as older photography from the collection, which is important both artistically and historically. Digitisation and cataloguing of the collection are under way, and the first couple of thousand items are already available to a wider public on the Internet.

Full textAbstract:
Almost from its inception The Royal Society has had a particular interest in the seas of the Southern Hemisphere. The Endeavour voyage of circumnavigation in southern waters by James Cook and his naturalist Joseph Banks, which was initiated by the Society, had repercussions—far beyond its original astronomical purpose—in oceanography, biology, exploration and world politics. It left a tradition, which still continues in the Society, of promoting wide-ranging expeditions such as those of the Erebus and Terror , the Challenger and, more recently, those to the Great Barrier Reef, the Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides and the island of Aldabra. The sea areas covered are those lying between the South Polar Front and, approximately, the Equator. Small islands and inshore waters are included but not land-based expeditions, such as those to Southern Chile and the Matto Grosso. The contributions of both the Society and its Fellows acting individually have been numerous and varied but here attention is restricted to three interconnected topics: physical and geological oceanography, biogeography and the genesis of coral reefs.

This is the second installment of a series of interviews, conducted by the senior author (S.D.W.) and the American College of Surgeons (ACS), that feature international leaders in surgery telling of the challenges they faced during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The disease arrived in the United Kingdom with devastating effects within a few weeks of its spread to Western Europe from China. In Oxford, Professor Neil Mortensen used his position as the President-elect of the Royal College of Surgeons of England to help coordinate efforts among the 4 Royal Colleges in the United Kingdom (his own, London, Edinburgh, and Ireland) to mobilize and retrain surgeons for duty helping to support in the critical care of patients with respiratory illness from the virus. In London, Lord Ara Darzi, a colon and rectal surgeon and leading innovator in minimally invasive surgery, underwent re-education himself in respiratory care to help his medical colleagues. As a member of the House of Lords involved in matters regarding the National Health Service as former Parliamentary Undersecretary of Health, he facilitated legislative measures to increase the physician workforce necessary to meet the demand for skilled personnel. Professor Mortensen and Lord Darzi have been recognized as honorary fellows of the ACS for their contributions to surgery. “Lots of people do not think it can possibly happen to them”, Professor Mortensen said, “Our experience is that it will happen to you, and you cannot be prepared enough. Preparation, preparation, preparation is what you need to do.”

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Śər’atä mängəśt is a collection of historical notes, descriptions of important ceremonies at the royal Ethiopian court, and regulations for court protocol and practices pertaining to law suits. The text exists in several different versions in a fairly large number of codices where it is often placed in front of the so-called Short Chronicle of the Ethiopian Kings. While I was working on a synoptical edition of these versions, the intertextual (and material) links to other sources of the Ethiopian historical tradition (chronicles, juridical documents, etc.) became clear, and it was possible to identify the authors, redactors, and compilers of these texts as counselors and judges at the royal court. The Śər’atä mängəśt, this professional group’s vade mecum, was written and modified as a function of changes in the political and social situation.

Director Dan Shadur's parents, Avi and Nili, were part of a multitude of Israeli diplomats and businesspeople doing business in Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1979. For many of these people, their years in Iran were the happiest moments of their lives. They enjoyed big apartments, substantial earning power, vacations in the mountains, royal dinners, and front-row seating at military parades. Of course, all of this was to disappear starting with the tumultuous period at the end of 1978.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractExcavations at the Late Classic Maya site of Cancuen (Petén Department, Guatemala) uncovered a small-scale hydraulic system including stone-lined canals and reservoirs within the architectural core of the site. The abundance of other nearby potable water sources along with the elaborate form of the system demonstrate that it served an ideological rather than practical function. Artifacts deposited in the reservoirs support this interpretation. Moreover, the reservoir located in front of the site's royal palace contained the remains of at least 30 individuals who may represent members of the royal court massacred during the site's collapse. This paper reports the animal remains found within the site's reservoirs to further explore the nature and extent of ritual and disposal activities within these aquatic contexts. Inter- and intrasite comparisons are used to contextualize the results within broader discussions of how we identify ritual activity in the zooarchaeological record, and the role of water in ancient Maya ideological and political systems.

Full textAbstract:
The report presents the film 10 th century. The South of the Royal Palace in Great Preslav. It consists of two parts – 10 th century. The Royal Palace in Great Prelsav. The Square with the Pinnacle and The Ruler’s Lodgings. 3D and virtual reconstructions of an architectural ensemble – part of the Preslav Royal Court unearthed during archaeological researches are used in the film. 3D documentaries have already gained popularity around the world and are well received by both scholars and the public at large. One of the distinguished tourist destinations in Bulgaria is Great Preslav – capital of the mediaeval Bulgarian state and a significant cultural center of the European Southeast in 9 th – 10 th centuries, too. The first part of the film is created with the financial support of America for Bulgaria Foundation and the second – with the funding of Bulgarian National Science Fund at the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science. A team of almost 20 members worked on the film, including computer specialists, professional actors, and translators in the four main European languages – English, German, French and Russian, Trima Sound Recording Studio. In the first part of the 3D film are shown a segment of the Royal Palace, the square with the water pinnacle and the adjacent buildings – an important structural element of the town-planning of the Preslav Court center in the 10th century. In the second part the accent is the southern part of the Royal Palace in Great Preslav, where the personal residence of the Preslav ruler’s dynasty is situated. The work on the virtual reconstruction was done by Virtual Archaeology club at the Mathematical School, Shumen. Due to the efforts of its members it is now clear how the square in front of the southern gate looked like.

Full textAbstract:
The Royal Naval Armoured Car Division was dispatched to fight with the Russian Army in 1915. In diaries, letters, and post-war exercises in autobiography, members of the unit expressed a sense of disconnection from the ‘real war’ in the west. In fact, their tour of Russia exemplified many aspects of the wartime Anglo-Russian alliance: the profusion of channels of authority; the logistics of wartime supply; the interventionist schemes designed to keep Russia in the war at all costs. This article examines how the connections between the western and eastern fronts were understood and navigated by diplomats and strategists, and by soldiers encountering an unfamiliar theatre of war.

Full textAbstract:
The recent race among nation-states to promote national cuisine as a way to counter globalization has marked food as a resource to reinforce national identity and preserve local food heritage. In 2008, South Korean president Lee Myung-bak joined this “food war” by launching the Global Hansik Campaign to reinforce Korean national identity and enhance the nation's image. The government chose royal court cuisine of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910) as the national representative to present a unified and culturally refined image to simultaneously neutralize local differences and project its global desires. Yet, rather than providing a unifying front for Koreans to project nationalism, the selection of court cuisine fomented debates among local, national, and international actors about what constitutes culinary heritage. Exploring how the state navigated domestic, regional, and global power relations demonstrates that debates surrounding heritage remain tethered to global forces that reproduce the hegemonic social order.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Auditory fitness for duty (AFFD) testing is an important element in an assessment of workers’ ability to perform job tasks safely and effectively. Functional hearing is particularly critical to job performance in law enforcement. Most often, assessment is based on pure-tone detection thresholds; however, its validity can be questioned and challenged in court. In an attempt to move beyond the pure-tone audiogram, some organizations like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are incorporating additional testing to supplement audiometric data in their AFFD protocols, such as measurements of speech recognition in quiet and/or in noise, and sound localization. Purpose: This article reports on the assessment of RCMP officers wearing hearing aids in speech recognition and sound localization tasks. The purpose was to quantify individual performance in different domains of hearing identified as necessary components of fitness for duty, and to document the type of hearing aids prescribed in the field and their benefit for functional hearing. The data are to help RCMP in making more informed decisions regarding AFFD in officers wearing hearing aids. Research Design: The proposed new AFFD protocol included unaided and aided measures of speech recognition in quiet and in noise using the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) and sound localization in the left/right (L/R) and front/back (F/B) horizontal planes. Sixty-four officers were identified and selected by the RCMP to take part in this study on the basis of hearing thresholds exceeding current audiometrically based criteria. This article reports the results of 57 officers wearing hearing aids. Results: Based on individual results, 49% of officers were reclassified from nonoperational status to operational with limitations on fine hearing duties, given their unaided and/or aided performance. Group data revealed that hearing aids (1) improved speech recognition thresholds on the HINT, the effects being most prominent in Quiet and in conditions of spatial separation between target and noise (Noise Right and Noise Left) and least considerable in Noise Front; (2) neither significantly improved nor impeded L/R localization; and (3) substantially increased F/B errors in localization in a number of cases. Additional analyses also pointed to the poor ability of threshold data to predict functional abilities for speech in noise (r2 = 0.26 to 0.33) and sound localization (r2 = 0.03 to 0.28). Only speech in quiet (r2 = 0.68 to 0.85) is predicted adequately from threshold data. Conclusions: Combined with previous findings, results indicate that the use of hearing aids can considerably affect F/B localization abilities in a number of individuals. Moreover, speech understanding in noise and sound localization abilities were poorly predicted from pure-tone thresholds, demonstrating the need to specifically test these abilities, both unaided and aided, when assessing AFFD. Finally, further work is needed to develop empirically based hearing criteria for the RCMP and identify best practices in hearing aid fittings for optimal functional hearing abilities.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the identity of the people buried in the Great Death Pit PG 1237, a mass grave of the Royal Cemetery of Ur, and the ways they died and entered the shaft. Admittedly, the evidence required to positively solve the many taphonomic and osteological questions involved does not exist, because of the way the site was excavated and published in the early twentieth century. Nonetheless, the original excavators’ skill and unquestioned care in mapping and recording still prepares the ground for new alternative interpretations. As the ‘Rams Caught in a Thicket’ (two statuettes found in the mass grave) may have been the front parts of lyres, and almost all the dead might have entered the shaft impersonating musicians, singers and dancers, the paramount importance of music in the funerals of Sumerian elites is emphasized. New radiographic evidence recently suggested that some of the buried persons were killed violently, refuting the traditional theory of a voluntary mass suicide by poison. The bodies of the victims might have been formally prepared and serially brought to the pit in burial groups. Stratigraphy and spatial distribution reveal consistent depositional patterns dictated by specific rituals, as already proposed on the basis of more limited evidence by other authors. Formal arrangement and ritualism, in turn, support Woolley's identification of the graves as sacred constructions and thus reaffirms their royal character. The article ends by considering the historical meaning of the nature of these impressive funerals at the verge of the political unification of Mesopotamia by the house of Sargon.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the use of photography and visual motifs as forms of political humour in contemporary media. By studying the representation of former Prime Minister of Spain Mariano Rajoy in the front pages of three Spanish newspapers (El Mundo, El País and La Vanguardia) between 2011 and 2017, the paper identifies and questions the liaisons between power and satire present in the so-called “serious” press, focusing on how different photographic traits concerning layout, composition and gestures reflect ideological choices. This photographic satire developed by printed media is then framed within a figurative tradition that goes back to Spanish royal portraiture, from Velázquez to Goya, which employs common strategies for the visual depiction of power, including satirical and humorous attributes to push specific political agendas. This examination, based on the quantified study and the visual analysis of more than 7,500 front pages, is part of the national research project Visual Motifs in the Public Sphere: Production and Circulation of Images of Power in Spain, 2011-2017. In order to determine a useful procedural approach to satirical expressions in photographs, defining which front pages invoke a remarkable satirical content, this article also presents a comparative study and a categorisation based on formal (im)balances related to the concepts of visual motif and humour.

The aim of my study is to compare reminiscence of two officers with according to a defined set of criteria. They served in Hungarian 2nd Army which fought to the eastern front during World War II by the “Don” River. The analysis is based on the recollections they write. During the examination, I analyze personal experiences according to an external system. Possible systems can be based on an official document of an age or a subjective expectation or a commanding will. In my opinion, the most appropriate method for comparing the selected officers is the official document of an age, for which I chose the Hungarian Royal Army’s “1939” Tactical Rules.

Although the Royal Navy has used various bridge designs during the past 20 years it has chosen a readily recognizable layout for its Type 23 frigate. This conservatism is not the result of a wilful disregard for changes being made elsewhere in the marine world but arises from the particular requirements of a warship's bridge and considerable differences in manning. The most significant changes to layout, in recent years, have been the siting of the quartermaster on the bridge, the introduction of the versatile console system (vcs) of instrument display, the provision of engine controls at the quartermaster's console and the siting of a radar display at the bridge front.

After the formal establishment of an Austrian competitor to the English East India Company (eic) in 1722, the English drew on every resource available to force the Austrian company to close down—not only political pressure and extensive pamphleteering but also the arts. Of the fifteen operas presented by the Royal Academy of Music from 1724 to 1728, twelve, including seven by George Frideric Handel, featured settings in the Orient. Chosen by the directors of the Academy, who were also eic directors and investors, these Oriental settings kept the image of the East in front of aristocratic audiences, including important Members of Parliament, who had the power to assist the East India effort.

Full textAbstract:
Against the received wisdom, Mark Howell-Meri argues here for a continuing tradition between Elizabethan and Restoration (or ‘long eighteenth-century’) playhouses. He bases his argument in part on measurements which suggest the common use of traditional building methods and relationships between measurements and spaces based on ad-quadratum geometry, as shared by theatre builders across the centuries; but also on his own experience as a performance-practitioner specializing in an historiographical approach to making sense of eighteenth-century plays for today's audiences in surviving (or reconstructed) eighteenth-century spaces. He was the first director to restore a three-sided stage front to the Georgian Theatre (now Theatre Royal) in Richmond, Yorkshire, in 1987 with his hit production of Garrick's Miss in her Teens (1747), and other research productions have included Robert Dodsley's The King and the Miller of Mansfield (1737), Colman the Younger's Inkle and Yarico (1787), Inchbald's The Midnight Hour (1787), again at the Georgian Theatre in Richmond, and Lillo's The London Merchant (1731). He is now completing his doctoral thesis, ‘Theatre and Liberty: Eighteenth-Century Play Production on the Three-Sided Stage’.

AbstractObjectives:To investigate the benefit of a hospitalwide feedback program regarding methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), using annotated statistical process control charts.Design:Retrospective and prospective analysis of MRSA rates using statistical process control charts.Participants:Twenty-four medical, medical specialty, surgical, intensive care, and cardiothoracic care wards and units at four Glasgow Royal Infirmary hospitals.Methods:Annotated control charts were applied to prospective and historical monthly data on MRSA cases from each ward and unit during a 46-month period from January 1997 through September 2000. Results were fed back from December 1999 and then on a regular monthly basis to medical staff, ward managers, senior managers, and hotel services.Results:Monthly reductions in the MRSA acquisition rate started 2 months after the introduction of the feedback program and have continued to the present time. The overall MRSA rate currently is approximately 50% lower than when the program began and has become more consistent and less variable within departments throughout Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The control charts have helped to detect rate changes and manage resources more effectively. Medical and nursing staff and managers also report that they find this the most positive form of MRSA feedback they have received.Conclusions:Feedback programs that provide current information to front-line staff and incorporate annotated control charts can be effective in reducing the rate of MRSA.

For almost six and a half centuries, the wardens (and later the Deans) of St George's Chapel have been lodged in the extreme north-east corner of the Lower Ward at Windsor Castle. From fairly modest beginnings, the house developed into a much grander building, after the construction of a huge new chapel in the late fifteenth century. After the Elizabethan settlement it developed further and was a childhood home of Sir Christopher Wren, before being vandalized in the Commonwealth period. Following the Reformation, it was reconstructed and then given a grand new front in 1710 for the first of a series of aristocratic Deans. The final major rebuilding was carried out in 1831 immediately after the demise of George IV, and the house was used by Queen Victoria as a sort of ‘confessional’ and very private access to the royal pew after her widowhood. Today it is still a fine house after being reduced in size for twentieth-century Deans who do not have large families and many servants. Its rendered south front can still be seen immediately behind the buttressed east end of the Albert Memorial Chapel (fig. 1).

Who should take on risky tasks in an age-heterogeneous society? Life-history theory predicts that, in social insects, riskier tasks should be undertaken by sterile individuals with a shorter life expectancy. The loss of individuals with shorter life expectancy is less costly for colony reproductive success than the loss of individuals with longer life expectancy. Termite colonies have a sterile soldier caste, specialized defenders engaged in the most risky tasks. Here we show that termite soldiers exhibit age-dependent polyethism, as old soldiers are engaged in front-line defence more than young soldiers. Our nest defence experiment showed that old soldiers went to the front line and blocked the nest opening against approaching predatory ants more often than young soldiers. We also found that young soldiers were more biased toward choosing central nest defence as royal guards than old soldiers. These results demonstrate that termite soldiers have age-based task allocation, by which ageing predisposes soldiers to switch to more dangerous tasks. This age-dependent soldier task allocation increases the life expectancy of soldiers, allowing them to promote their lifetime contribution to colony reproductive success.

The paper examines an iron sword and a bouterol made of horn found in one of the Urartian sites of Rusa son of Argishti – Rusahinili period in front of Mount Eiduru (Ayanis). The sword is a specimen of a blade weapon of nomads of the period of Near Eastern campaigns – an akinax of the Early Scythian Kelermes type. The archaeological context allows us to date the sword no later than 650 BC. It is assumed that the sword from Ayanis was acquired during the western military campaigns of Rusa II and can be regarded as a gift of one of the Cimmerian “chiefs” to King Biannini. Based on the workmanship and technique of the “staff” of Queen Qaquli from Ayanis, as well as the swords found at Kelermes and Melgunov, it can be assumed that all these objects were made in an Urartian royal workshop. The swords from Kelermes and Melgunov are dip-lomatic gifts of Tsar Biannini to the Scythian chiefs who led the nomads in an alliance with Urartu, or a token of the imminent conclusion of an alliance. The fact that Urartian toreutic craftsmen inscribed the dynastic emblem of Urartian kings (I.M. Diakonoff) on the sword scab-bards of nomads rather indicates that in the eyes of Urartian donors their future owners were considered almost equal in rank to the owner of the Tushpin throne. This does not exclude the possibility that the covers could have been made during the reign of Argishti II.

Abstract Introduction Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is a cause of microangiopathic-haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia, associated with renal and neurological dysfunction with thrombotic complications causing significant morbidity and mortality. Methods A restrospective single-institution analysis of patients with TTP treated between 1990–2005. Renal or bone marrow transplantation patients were excluded. Results Forty patients were identified. Aetiology was idiopathic 75% (n=30), connective tissue disease-related 12.5% (n=5), malignancy-related 5% (n=2) and pregnancy-related 7.5% (n=3). Presenting features: neurological 62.5% (n=25), renal impairment (creatinine>0.11 mmol/L) 76% (n=28), microangiopathic-haemolytic anaemia 97.5% (n=39) and thrombocytopenia 100% (mean platelet-count 42x10^9/L). Mean Hb 93 g/L and mean Lactose dehydrogenase (LD) 2517 U/L (<420). 38 patients received up-front single plasma-volume plasma-exchange using fresh-frozen plasma (median 11 exchanges). All received steroids. Complete-response (CR) (normalisation of platelet count, LD, neurological examination and rising Hb), was achieved in 79% (n=30) following plasma-exchange of whom 43% (n=13) relapsed (median 14.5 days from therapy-cessation): eleven achieved CR2 with further therapy and two died from TTP-related complications. Partial-response (PR) was obtained in 7.9% (n=3) with up-front plasma-exchange: one remained in PR with prostate-cancer treatment and two relapsed: one achieved CR and one sustained-PR with further therapy. 13% (n=5) were refractory to plasma-exchange: four died from TTP-related complications and one achieved CR with treatment intensification. Therapeutic intensification included steroids (n=34), vincristine (n=7), intravenous immunoglobulin (n=6), Rituximab (n=3) and splenectomy (n=6). Conclusion TTP is associated with a significant relapse-rate (43%) and TTP-related mortality (16%) despite plasma-exchange. Delineation of patients at high risk of relapse following CR will potentially allow targetted treatment intensification. Treatment intensification is also clearly required for patients with refractory TTP and consideration may be given to other immunosuppressive agents, such the chimeric monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody, Rituximab, as a steroid-sparing agent and to potentially avoid splenectomy. We propose a central TTP registry is developed within Australia such that therapeutic strategies can be systematically evaluated in a multicentre setting.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the relationship between commanders and chiefs of staff during the period of the Wars of German Unification and the entirety of the Kaiserreich. The practice of pairing up a commander and a chief of staff was one that was specific to Germany. Traditional scholarship holds that in many cases, it was really the chief of staff who did all the thinking, while the commander was nothing more than a front man. The primary example of this was the relationship between Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff. The problem is that unthinking historians have projected relationship of this particular duo on the rest of the imperial German army. One of the reasons for this was the presence of members of German royal families in high command positions. This article suggests that first, commanders, including royal family members, were far more influential than their chiefs of staff. In addition, the power wielded by chiefs of staff also reflected the nagging problem of battlefield communications, especially given the limitations of telephone and early wireless radio. Once these difficulties were eliminated by the collapse of the imperial regime, and the development of radio, the power of chiefs of staff was severely curbed by 1939. Thus, the relationship between commanders and chiefs of staff was at best a transitory phenomenon.

A cage in the Berlin Zoo becomes a stage, and its resident lion an extremely impressive actor. Robert Walser wrote this text 100 years ago, fascinated by the animal’s mighty presence and its interplay with the audience. The text as well as Erika Fischer Lichte’s quote from the “Ästhetik des Performativen” below give an indication of the focus of this volume. “Presence is not an expressive but a purely performative quality. It is generated through specific processes of embodiment; the actor’s phenomenal body rules the space, demanding the audience’s attention.” [1] Very interesting is the Abyssinian Lion in the zoological gardens. He plays a tragedy and moreover in such a way that he simultaneously waxes and wanes. He despairs (nameless despair) and keeps himself nice and fat at the same time. He thrives and tortures himself to death all at once. And all this in front of a watching audience. I stood in front of his cage for a long time and couldn’t tear my eyes away from the royal drama. By the way, I would like to change my profession, if this could be done quickly and easily, and become a painter of animals. I could gorge myself on ...

Full textAbstract:
A Brewster angle reflection imaging apparatus is demonstrated which is capable of detecting hidden water-filled voids in a rubber tile sample. This imaging application simulates a real-world hull inspection problem for Royal Canadian Navy Victoria-class submarines. The tile samples represent a challenging imaging application due to their large refractive index and absorption coefficient. With a rubber transmission window at approximately 80 GHz, terahertz (THz) sensing methods have shown promise for probing these structures in the laboratory. Operating at Brewster’s angle allows for the typically strong front surface reflection to be minimized while also conveniently making the method insensitive to air-filled voids. Using a broadband THz time-domain waveform imaging system (THz-TDS), we demonstrate satisfactory imaging and detection of water-filled voids without complicated signal processing. Optical properties of the tile samples at low THz frequencies are also reported.

Secondary accounts of the impact of the First World War on psychological medicine have traditionally painted a picture of psychoanalysis as the preserve of a small number of pioneering individuals, led by William Rivers and marginalized by a Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) obsessed with discipline. This view ignores the climate of theoretical exchange promoted by the RAMC's concern with returning as many soldiers to the front line as possible. The RAMC approach provided new resources and a positive environment for the rise of a psycho-physical psychoanalytic synthesis, to build on the extensive work in this field in which RAMC officers were engaged from a very early stage in the war. William Rivers, despite recent popular acclaim, stood at the rearguard of this movement, in which the varied and important work of William Brown is often overlooked.

The revolt that members and supporters of the leftist movement EAM-ELAS staged in Athens in early December 1944 against the Greek royal and British forces ushered into the second "round" of the civil war in Greece. The developments in the neighborhood draw much attention in Yugoslavia, where the war of liberation was in its final phases in parallel with the elimination of political rivals to the new government in which communists played a central role. This attention was not only a result of ideological solidarity, it also had to do with the "Macedonian Question", i.e. the position of Slavic Macedonian minority in northern Greece, an issue that had aroused a debate between Greek and Yugoslav communists in 1944. Difficulties in relations between the Yugoslav partisan leadership and the British, pressure from London, the passivity of the Soviet Union as regards the developments in Athens, a stalemate on the Srem Front, fights with the remaining collaborationist forces, compelled Yugoslavia to take a reserved position and avoid direct involvement in Greece. Appeals of Greek communists for aid in military supplies, promised on the eve of the revolt, failed to provoke a tangible response of the Yugoslav leadership. Once the revolt was crushed by the British and a truce between the EAM-ELAS and the royal government signed a wave of migration to Yugoslavia ensued of the borderland civilian Slavic Macedonian population but also of several thousand radical Greek leftists unwilling to accept the Varkiza agreement.

Full textAbstract:
Sir Prafulla Chandra Ray (1861–1944) was the first Indian chemist to achieve high international reputation. Originally trained at the University of Edinburgh, he worked for many years at Presidency College in Calcutta and then at Calcutta University. He built up a remarkable school of chemical research by attracting many outstanding students to work with him and published about 150 papers—many of them in leading British and German journals. Ray was highly respected by his British peers and was the first Indian of that era to be nominated for FRS, in 1913. At the time when his nomination was being considered by the Royal Society, Ray's favourite student, Nil Ratan Dhar (1892–1986), who was to become the second Indian chemist to achieve high international reputation, worked in London and Paris for a few years. Even when Dhar was merely a 24-year-old student, he lobbied with several leading British chemists for the election of Ray and kept Ray informed in a series of fascinating letters—giving us a rare glimpse of what election to the Royal Society meant for Indian scientists of that era. During this time, Ray received a knighthood for his contributions to chemistry, and Nature published a front-page article on Ray's ‘life-work’. Many British chemists felt strongly that Ray should be elected FRS and were willing to discuss Ray's case with the young Dhar quite openly. But, rather mysteriously, Ray never got elected.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The Royal Opera House, located at the epicentre of Covent Garden, stands as the UK’s leading provider of opera and ballet performances. Having been extensively redeveloped, its front facade is not visible from the area’s central market place and the perceived exclusivity and elitism commonly associated with its art forms also impose a challenge. This study aims to analyze the influence that the Opera House exerts on the tourist’s perception and experience of the world-renowned London’s “Theatreland”. Design/methodology/approach In all, three hundred and six semi-structured interviews with domestic, international, first-time and repeat tourists were conducted in six different locations throughout the area and inside the flagship building using a convenience sampling approach. These were then analyzed with the assistance of qualitative data analysis software (QSR N*Vivo) in two stages leading to an initial set of categorical topics that derived in a number of findings related to the factors that influence the tourist’s perception and experience of place. Findings The Opera House’s perceived urban concealment proved to have an impact on its influence on Covent Garden’s sense of place. But its social inclusion and audience development initiatives that foster a new generation of opera and ballet theatre-goers emerged as important findings as the House’s open door policy for daytime visitors along with live relays of current opera and ballet productions in other locations spark an interest in experiencing the building from the inside. Research limitations/implications This paper focuses exclusively on findings related to audience development and social inclusion initiatives currently used at the Royal Opera House and their impact on the tourist’s perception and experience of place. However, many other factors influence these processes and scope for further research is highlighted. Practical implications The Royal Opera House’s perceived urban concealment imposes a challenge to the task of developing new audiences for its current and future productions. Its learning and participation unit must endeavor to engage younger and international markets by focusing on the quality of the House’s performances, its heritage and added facilities of the venue such as exhibitions and shop. Social implications The Royal Opera House’s creed of “excellence, access and artistic development” is implemented by extending opportunities to younger target markets to engage with its cultural produce. Originality/value This paper addresses the gap in knowledge related to the development of the niche Opera House tourist segment of the cultural tourism market.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the context of an Eulerian fluid description, we investigate the dynamics of a shock wave that is driven by the steady impulsively initiated motion of a two-dimensional planar piston with small corrugations superimposed on its surface. This problem was originally solved by Freeman (Proc. Royal Soc. A, vol. 228, 1955, pp. 341–362), who showed that piston-driven shocks are unconditionally stable when the fluid medium through which they propagate is an ideal gas. Here, we generalize Freeman’s mathematical framework to account for a fluid characterized by an arbitrary equation of state. We find that a sufficient condition for shock stability is $\ensuremath{-} 1\lt h\lt {h}_{c} $, where $h$ is the D’yakov parameter and ${h}_{c} $ is a critical value less than unity. For values of $h$ within this range, linear perturbations imparted to the front by the piston at time $t= 0$ attenuate asymptotically as ${t}^{\ensuremath{-} 3/ 2} $. Outside of this range, the temporal behaviour of perturbations is more difficult to determine and further analysis is required to assess the stability of a shock front under such circumstances. As a benchmark of the main conclusions of this paper, we compare our generalized expression for the linearized shock-ripple amplitude with an independent Bessel-series solution derived by Zaidel’ (J. Appl. Math. Mech., vol. 24, 1960, pp. 316–327) and find excellent agreement.

The aim of this contribution is to highlight the traces of diverse social practices on the Second Stela of Kamose, whose relevance is not usually recognized. The stone on which the Stela was engraved has a long history. It comes from a Middle Kingdom door jamb probably belonging to a royal building erected at the temple. After several centuries of being located in the temple, the Stela was buried into the base of a statue of Ramesses II, where it was found in 1954, in front of the Second Pylon. Not only is the reuse of monuments highlighted here, but also other practices made on the monument’s surface: the damnatio memoriae and the scribble of graffiti. Thus, the Stela becomes an appropriate example to observe, analyze and reflect on those social practices, which in turn make it a relevant monument by itself, beyond the content of the well-known written text

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThe status of the geriatric day hospital within the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has changed significantly over the past fifty years. We conducted a literature review starting from the inception of the geriatric day hospital, when it was viewed as the ‘shop front for geriatric services’ and was subsequently replicated in many western health systems, to the present uncertainty surrounding the model in terms of outcomes and cost effectiveness. The article also highlights the input of the Royal College of Physicians and the British Geriatric Society to the management and development of day hospitals. The geriatric day hospital has become one of the many service models under the umbrella of intermediate care services, offering comprehensive geriatric assessment and care to older people in the community. However, with the current practices of commissioning of services and ‘payment by results’, the future of this precious health resource remains uncertain.

Redevelopment of the Old High School, Edinburgh (NGR: NT 2615 7347), provided an opportunity to investigate the speculated location of a Dominican friary, known to have been founded in the early 13th century. The site was also the known location of the 16th-century Royal High School, a predecessor of the present Old High School building constructed in 1777. The scope of the archaeological work included the excavation of a relatively small area to the front of the Old High School building. This area contained some of the most significant archaeological remains recently found in Edinburgh’s Old Town. These included an early medieval boundary ditch; the surviving remains of two walls, interpreted as being associated with the medieval Dominican friary church and 88 accompanying burials spread across three distinct areas. Six of these burials were radiocarbon dated, returning a range of dates between the 13th and 17th centuries, providing the first clear evidence of the existence of the friary in this location. The most significant of the burials was associated with a cross slab grave cover and located in an area interpreted as the claustral area of the friary. Both the cross slab and the associated burial were dated to the late 13th century. Further stone wall foundations relating to the 16th-century Royal High School building were also identified within the excavation area. Several further features ranging from medieval stone-lined drains to 19th-century walls and culverts were recorded during further groundworks across the remainder of the site.
