No full textRefaire monde, Revue des Sciences Humaines, n° 347, juillet-septembre 2022 Édité par Alexandre Gefe et Pamela Krause Accueillante et commune, riche de résonnances poétiques et d’un sémantisme heureux, l’idée de monde emporte pourtant avec elle bien des débats philosophiques contemporains virulents : faut-il abandonner définitivement le monde comme geste de totalisation de passé comme le font les « nouveaux réalistes » en proclamant avec Markus Gabriel que « le monde n’existe pas » ? Faut-il..
Organizational Factors and Office Workers’ Health After the World Trade Center Terrorist Attacks: Long-Term Physical Symptoms, Psychological Distress, and Work Productivity
No full textObjective: To assess if organizational factors are predictors of workers' health and productivity after the World Trade Center attacks.Methods: We conducted a survey of 750 workers and compared those who had direct exposures to the World Trade Center attacks (south of Canal Street workers; primary victims) with those less directly exposed (north of Canal Street workers; other victims and non-victims).Results: South of Canal Street workers reported headache more frequently than north of Canal Street workers did (P = 0.0202). Primary victims reported headache and cough more frequently than did other victims and non-victims (P = 0.0086 and 0.0043, respectively). Defensive organizational culture was an independent predictor of cough and job stress, and job stress was an independent predictor of on-the-job productivity losses.Conclusion: Organizational variables may modify health and productivity outcomes after a large-scale traumatic event in the workplace.This research was supported in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Grant 5 R21 OH007713-02, and the NIEHS sponsored UMDNJ Center for Environmental Exposures and Disease, Grant NIEHS P30ES005022.This is a non-final version of an article published in final form in Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (50(2):112-25, 2008 Feb) a publication of Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins.

Samuel Richardson’s Views of Women in Pamela
No full textPamela is the first epistolary novel by Samuel Richardson, a masterpiece of sentimentalist literature. This paper mainly attempts to analyze Samuel Richardson’s views of women based on the image of Pamela. The paper begins with introducing the life experience and literary career of Samuel Richardson, and the situation in which Richardson created Pamela. And then, it discusses traditional virtues, such as chastity, diligence and modesty embodied in Pamela. These virtues are the base of rewards of women in society. Then the present author focuses on self-pursuit of Pamela as a modern woman who does not depend on men and make livings on their own, and comes to the conclusion that, on the one hand, Richardson praises traditional virtues of women; on the other hand, he expects women to get independence from men, which is contradictory part of Richardson’ views of women

Morality of Pamela and Richardson
No full textMany of the objections to Samuel Richardson's Pamela: or Virtue Rewarded have come about because of its alleged middle-class morality. Responsibility for the early propagation of this idea can be traced to Henry Fielding's brilliant satire of the work, Shamela. The purpose of this paper is to examine both the morality of Pamela and its most influential criticism in light of the purpose of the book and the personality of its author. Also examined is the effect of the epistolary form of writing on the clarity of Richardson's ideas. Samuel Richardson wrote Pamela as an example of the value of moral behavior. Believing in the direct intervention of God, Richardson felt that virtuous actions led to success on earth as well as in heaven. Much of his justification for this theory came from his own experience. Richardson was already a successful printer when he undertook the writing of his first novel. That success, he felt, came through honest business practices and the resultant help of God.
Richardson's novel was certainly liable to the criticism of Fielding, but to make a satiric point the intended emphasis of Pamela was changed to show Pamela as a calculating female instead of an example of virtue. A close examination of Richardson's work reveals that he did espouse middle-class values; but those values were not necessarily detrimental to the purpose of his writing

Perfecting Pamela: Samuel Richardson\u27s Final Revisions to his Earliest Novel
No full textThis author details Richardson’s revision process as he edits his first novel Pamela as the last thing he does before dying. There are three chapters detailing Richardson’s motives behind revising his first novel and his actual revision process, which included three main techniques—substitution, addition, and deletion. Motives considered and argued were: moral purpose and criticism received from others—especially analyzing Shamela, a satire of Pamela—which undermines the morality that Richardson had hoped Pamela accomplished. At the end of the essay, there is an extensive chart complied by the author, spanning a total of 55 pages, of all of Richardson’s revisions as well
Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
Nursing Home Registered Nurses' and Licensed Practical Nurses' Knowledge of Causes of Falls
No full textReducing falls in nursing homes (NHs) requires a knowledgeable nursing workforce. To test knowledge, 8 validated vignettes, representing multifactorial fall causes were administered to 47 nurses from 3 NHs. Although Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) scored higher than Registered Nurses in individual categories of falls, when we computed the average score of all 8 categories between groups of RNs’ versus LPNs’ we found RNs scored higher (F value =4.106; p<0.05) in identifying 8 causal reasons for older adults to fall.This is a non-final version of an article published ahead of print in Journal of Nursing Care Quality, October 7, 2015, and available at: https://dx.doi.org/10.1097/NCQ.0000000000000157Peer reviewe
