Beamish — An Open Air Museum in a changing industrial community
No full textThe North of England open air museum was established at Beamish in the early 1970s, since when the local community has radically changed in terms both of ethnicity and of occupations. Heavy industry and agriculture have been largely replaced by service and light industries. This paper explores the ways in which Beamish is engaging with local communities who have no previous experience of the collections it holds and the history it represents. The paper has been prepared from a presentation by the author to Société Internationale d’Ethnologie et de Folklore Congress, 2008, and includes material from a presentation by Chris Scott, Beamish Curator of Industry, to the Society for Folk Life Studies conference, Swansea, 2007, and reports prepared by Seb Littlewood, Rural Collections Curator, and Helen Barker, Collections Access Officer

Colonial Medicine Ills
Get PDFColonialism and medicine may seem to be separate subjects on their own, but this paper demonstrates how both subjects have interacted together in the recent modern era and produced harmful effects on diverse populations. This article reviews five sources that focus on different regions of the world. A common theme emerges from the colonial application of medicine and from the power imbalance that exploited the use of cheap labour. The combination of frenzied economically driven colonization, and the rise of modern medicine imposed European social constructs on Indigenous peoples, which caused them direct harm, and often fostered the spread of disease. Under a false concept of racial differences and implied hierarchy, European countries frequently failed their colonial subjects.Peer reviewe

Multinational Sales Management of Foreign Subsidiaries: A Case Study on the German Mittlestand
No full textThis research study provides insights into “How to manage foreign subsidiaries in a multinational company (MNC) belonging to the German Mittelstand” by applying a contingency perspective. Existing MNC knowledge focuses on large MNCs whereas contributions regarding an application to the German Mittelstand are scant. In particular, a framework for multinational sales management with patterns for foreign subsidiaries is missing for both academia and management. Thus, the findings of this research study contribute to existing MNC knowledge and provide ideas and guidance for managerial practice.
A review of the literature identifies MNC typologies (Bartlett & Beamish, 2014; Bartlett & Ghoshal, 1988), subsidiary role models (Bartlett & Beamish, 2014; Bartlett & Ghoshal, 1986), and the corresponding MNC factors. This serves as a starting point from which a conceptual framework is derived accordingly. Thereafter, a plausibility check with industry experts verifies and ensures the suitability of the identified MNC factors to the characteristics of the German Mittelstand. Then, an in-depth case study consisting of documentary, semi-structured interviews, and focus group interviews, applies the conceptual framework to the selected case of the German Mittelstand.
The described research design operationalizes and modifies the selected MNC models in such a way that they suit the identified Mittelstand characteristics. This facilitates an application of the framework for multinational sales management consisting of the selected and operationalized MNC models for the MNC typology and the foreign subsidiaries.
The main contribution of this research study is the framework for multinational sales management, which fills the gaps identified in existing knowledge. In particular, this research study contributes existing to knowledge by: (1 and 2) operationalizing the models for MNC typology and subsidiary roles for the German Mittelstand, (3) providing the key MNC factors for the German Mittelstand, and (4) elaborating the patterns for multinational sales management to improve the subsidiary competences and to increase the market importance of their local market with respect to their subsidiary role
Pathology of bacterial gill disease: sequential development of lesions during natural outbreaks of disease
No full textThe sequential pattern of bacterial colonization and the sequential development of branchial lesions during typical outbreaks of bacterial gill disease (BGD) was studied among 4 groups of commercially reared rainbow trout fingerlings, Oncorhynchus mykiss. During a 5-month monitoring regime, before the onset of natural outbreaks of BGD, gill morphology of examined fish remained unaltered. Bacterial colonization of the gills was immediately preceeded by several gill changes which were widely present in fish from all groups under study. These changes, which were detectable at the ultrastructural level only, included cytoplasmic blistering and degeneration of the microridges of the superficial filament epithelium, in addition to slight topographical irregularity of the filament tips suggestive of mild hyperplasia. Bacterial colonization began at these altered filament tips before spreading to more proximal regions of the filament and adjacent lamellar surfaces. Explosive increases in proportional morbidity and mortality coincided with the development of the following gill lesions: extensive bacterial colonization of lamellar surfaces, lamellar epithelial hydropic degeneration and necrosis, and lamellar oedema. In contrast, gill lesions such as lamellar fusion, epithelial hyperplasia and various metaplastic responses were detected either as subacute (3-5 days) or chronic (7-14 days) changes. The role of epithelial necrosis as an important event during BGD is discussed as a possible mechanism leading to development of sub-acute and chronic gill lesions..RE: 37 ref.; SC: CA; VE; 0I; ZA; 0VSource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0140-7775&isbn=&volume=14&issue=1&spage=21&pages=21-32&date=1991&title=Journal%20of%20Fish%20Diseases&atitle=Pathology%20of%20bacterial%20gill%20disease%3a%20sequential%20development%20of%20lesions%20during%20natural%20outbreaks%20of%20disease.&aulast=Speare&pid=%3Cauthor%3ESpeare%2c%20D%20J%3bFerguson%2c%20H%20W%3bBeamish%2c%20F%20W%20M%3bYager%2c%20J%20A%3bYamashiro%2c%20S%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19912256145%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
Pathology of bacterial gill disease: ultrastructure of branchial lesions
No full textThe range of branchial lesions associated with bacterial gill disease (BGD) in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, was investigated through the ultrastructural examination of 23 separate outbreaks of the disease condition within commercially reared stocks. Diseased branchial tissues had a large and diffusely distributed monomorphic population of filamentous bacteria which were strictly epicellular. Although bacterial colonization was restricted to the branchial cavity, it was neither site nor cell specific: epithelial and chloride cells of the lamellae, filaments and lining tissues of the branchial cavity were all uniformly affected. The bacteria possessed an extensive glycocalyx which appeared to facilitate adhesion to the apices of the microridged sub-unit modification of the cell surface. Sites of colonization were accompanied by a diffuse pattern of cellular degeneration and necrosis that was generally restricted to the outer layers of epithelium. The polarity and nature of these changes suggest that the mechanism of interaction between the bacteria and host cells includes progressive hydropic changes as a sequel to primary membrane damage and consequent increased cell permeability. These cellular changes were accompanied by the range of stereotypical responses of the gill to damage frequently reported for BGD including lamellar fusion, epithelial hyperplasia, and squamous and mucous cell metaplasia, in addition to lamellar spongiosis..RE: 42 ref.; SC: CA; VE; 0I; ZA; 0VSource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0140-7775&isbn=&volume=14&issue=1&spage=1&pages=1-20&date=1991&title=Journal%20of%20Fish%20Diseases&atitle=Pathology%20of%20bacterial%20gill%20disease%3a%20ultrastructure%20of%20branchial%20lesions.&aulast=Speare&pid=%3Cauthor%3ESpeare%2c%20D%20J%3bFerguson%2c%20H%20W%3bBeamish%2c%20F%20W%20M%3bYager%2c%20J%20A%3bYamashiro%2c%20S%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19912256144%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
