New South Asian Security Six Core Relations Underpinning Regional Security
No full textNew South Asian Security: Six Core Relations Underpinning Regional Security is an edited volume on South Asian security by Chris Ogden. Six chapters are written by eminent scholars with an introduction by the editor. They include discussion of different aspects of bilateral relations of the South Asian states. Separate chapters cover the bilateral relations between China-India, Pakistan-Afghanistan, India-Pakistan, China-Afghanistan, China-Pakistan and India-Afghanistan. The book’s introduction explains the its approach to understanding South Asian security problems. Chris Ogden takes a new approach to understand the security dynamics and challenges in South Asia. It pursues the constructivists ideas of identity and norms and eschews comparison with liberal ideas of economic cooperation, multilateralism and to some extent the realist ideas of treating ‘states as identical black boxes’. Instead of discussing specific issues, such as nuclear deterrence, security, terrorism and external perspectives on these issues, the author takes the region as ‘co-dependent entity.’ Relations between the regional powers China, Pakistan, India and Afghanistan are discussed as factors that impact the regional security. These four countries are further placed on the rise and fall spectrum i.e. China and India are dubbed as rising powers and Pakistan and Afghanistan as failing states. It tries to show through a state focused and state driven approaches, that ‘security in South Asia is highly inter-connected and co-dependent in terms of provenance and orientation’ and focuses on interaction among these four states through the interplay of norms under political, physical and security dimensions

Clinical and Urodynamic Effects of Ephedrine in Elderly Incontinent Patients
No full textThe effect of ephedrine, an adrenergic receptor agonist, was investigated in 24 elderly patients with urinary incontinence associated with unstable detrusor contractions. After 3 weeks of oral ephedrine repeat cystometry showed mean increases of 21 per cent in bladder capacity and of 23 per cent in urethral pressure. Of 21 patients studied 7 became continent and 12 were improved. However, the urodynamic improvement did not reach statistical significance even in the continent group and, thus, the clinical improvement was unlikely to be owing to ephedrine. Therefore, open studies of drug treatment for detrusor instability may be misleading unless clinical and cystometric data are obtained.</p
J.M. Coetzee and the problems of literature
No full textThis dissertation traces the evolution of J.M. Coetzee’s thinking concerning literary form in the non-fiction he wrote between 1963 and 1984. During the first two decades of his career, Coetzee completed a Master’s thesis on Ford Madox Ford, a doctoral dissertation on Samuel Beckett, and numerous articles on topics ranging from quantitative stylistics, to linguistics, to classical rhetoric. Although Coetzee’s novels have become among the most widely studied contemporary fiction in the world, his earliest writing about literature has been widely ignored. I argue that in neglecting Coetzee’s early work on literary form scholars have neglected much of his most important thinking concerning both the nature of the novel as a literary genre and literary form itself. If Coetzee’s novels are important in large part because of how they rethink the conventions of fiction, then it is critical to understand that his novels are extensions of the thinking he did as a doctoral candidate in linguistics and literature, and as a professor. This dissertation is also a study of how practicing novelists conceive of fiction writing. Coetzee’s thinking about literary form and the novel genre cannot be properly understood without understanding how practicing writers generally, and Coetzee in particular, understand the craft of fiction writing. A full grasp of Coetzee’s writing is unattainable in isolation from his ideas about writing as a vocation. These ideas, in turn, are inaccessible without an understanding of his early writing on literary form and stylistics. As I study Coetzee’s work on Ford Madox Ford (Chapter One), Samuel Beckett (Chapter Two), and Gerrit Achterberg/Franz Kafka (Chapter Three), I demonstrate how Coetzee’s studies of literature are uniquely shaped by a novelist’s conception of fiction writing.Ph.
