Student Perspectives on Trauma-Informed Care
No full textAim: This project intended to explore the perspectives of nursing students on trauma-informed care for refugees from Ukraine 2 years into the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Background: Since in February 2022 approximately 6.7 million refugees from Ukraine have sought haven in host countries. War-affected refugees from Ukraine are likely to have experienced traumatic events and research supports a trauma-informed care practice.
Methods: A qualitative description study with a focus on quality improvement was conducted Fall 2024. Faculty sought to improve and expand nursing knowledge through a global health international virtual exchange course between ECU and a university in Poland. This study reports on the reflective writing of four ECU nursing students who met virtually with Polish nursing student partners. Reflective writings were transcribed, coded, and systematically analyzed. Themes were inductively derived.
Results: The themes identified were: Long-term effects of trauma; Benefits of trauma-informed care, and Lack of nursing competence in trauma-informed care practices. Students felt prepared in only two trauma-informed care practices: creating a safe environment and empowering via translation. The use of translators was problematic in both countries but more challenging in Poland due to population heterogeneity.
Discussion: Findings suggest that physical and emotional trauma among war-affected refugees should be given equal consideration. Trauma-informed care content should be assessed and expanded in baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs to address war-affected refugees. Webinars in trauma-informed care practices could reach practicing clinicians.

"Disney is the Tiffany’s and I am the Woolworth's of the business": A critical re-analysis of the business philosophies, production values and studio practices of animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry has been portrayed as having little passion for the animation he produced and being more concerned with making a profit than producing entertaining cartoons with high production values. The purpose of the dissertation is to re-evaluate Terry‘s legacy to animated cartooning by analyzing his business philosophies, production values, and studio practices.
Application of four psychodynamic factors to the early life and career of Terry, 1887-1929, found that his economic decision making was characterized by: an external locus of control, risk-averse financial behaviour, extreme saving behaviour through precaution, and shrewd money management practices. Based on Terry‘s historical responses to twelve major economic, technological, or institutional forces of change for the period 1929-1955, the psychodynamic factors were found to provide accurate explanations for his studio practices and production decisions.
There was no evidence to support the conclusion that three early career disappointments undermined Terry‘s intrinsic motivation to create animated cartoons. Rather, Terry‘s lack of risk taking, external locus of control, tight studio production schedule, desire to compete with neighbour studio Fleischer, difficulty in separating financial rewards from creative processes in animation, and practice of undertaking surveillance measures on staff may have undermined his and his studio‘s creativity. Archival research found Terry to possess strong passions for and to have made significant creative contributions to the field of animation.
Biographical research found that Terry retained a stable nucleus of highly talented artists who dedicated a significant portion of their working careers to the studio. An analysis of the cel aesthetics of a random sample of animated cartoons produced during the years 1930-1955 found that Terry created animated cartoons with above average cel aesthetics when compared to the other studios thereby supporting an inference that Terry was motivated to producing quality crafted animation. Further research is suggested into the role psychodynamic factors and economic decision-making play in the film production process and a clarification of Terry‘s legacy to the field of animated cartoons
The eclipse of 'elegant economy': post-war changes in attitudes to personal finance in Britain
No full textPhDIn Britain, almost all survivors of the Second Word War found themselves in a
stronger and more secure financial position than at its outbreak. Simultaneously they
were confronted by a host of intrusive controls, rationing, shortages and ubiquitous
reminders of conflict. Pride in victory was immense, yet there were few perceivable
signs of reward for sacrifice. The resultant widespread disorientation belied pecuniary
fortune and gave rise to many formidable dilemmas demanding financial decisions.
The solution of a majority was thrift and avoidance of money spending, which cleared
the conscience and provided peace of mind. A substantial minority, often equally
disorientated, followed their natural inclinations to spend freely and benefit from or
enjoy their new-found resources. The latter discovered themselves not only severely
restricted by bare-shelved shops and emergency legislation but by social censure of
conspicuous consumption. The remaining options open to them most commonly
involved expenditure on the intangible and the inconspicuous.
Between 1945 and 1957, as austerity waned and greater opportunities returned for
beneficial employment of private funds, attitudes appeared to evolve from despair into
confidence. But austerity culture, embedded in the national mindset,took much longer
to dispel than is popularly supposed and arguably has never been fully eradicated. The
impact on British life of this gradual change is here highlighted by comparing and
contrasting the relevant history of prior and subsequent periods.
This thesis focuses on theoretical, political and practical influences on all forms of
employment of private means without differentiating between the material and
ethereal, including saving and investment as forms of consumption. Reinterpreting
Britain's transformation from austerity to affluence from the perspective of personal
finance demonstratest hat it is an essential but hitherto ignored factor which adds
significantly to the understanding of social history
Areas of normal pulmonary parenchyma on HRCT exhibit increased FDG PET signal in IPF patients
No full textPurpose: Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) show increased PET signal at sites of morphological abnormality on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The purpose of this investigation was to investigate the PET signal at sites of normal-appearing lung on HRCT in IPF. Methods: Consecutive IPF patients (22 men, 3 women) were prospectively recruited. The patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/HRCT. The pulmonary imaging findings in the IPF patients were compared to the findings in a control population. Pulmonary uptake of 18F-FDG (mean SUV) was quantified at sites of morphologically normal parenchyma on HRCT. SUVs were also corrected for tissue fraction (TF). The mean SUV in IPF patients was compared with that in 25 controls (patients with lymphoma in remission or suspected paraneoplastic syndrome with normal PET/CT appearances). Results: The pulmonary SUV (mean ± SD) uncorrected for TF in the controls was 0.48 ± 0.14 and 0.78 ± 0.24 taken from normal lung regions in IPF patients (p < 0.001). The TF-corrected mean SUV in the controls was 2.24 ± 0.29 and 3.24 ± 0.84 in IPF patients (p < 0.001). Conclusion: IPF patients have increased pulmonary uptake of 18F-FDG on PET in areas of lung with a normal morphological appearance on HRCT. This may have implications for determining disease mechanisms and treatment monitoring. © 2013 The Author(s).</p

Shakespeare and England's Empire, 1780-1800.
Get PDFThis thesis is a study of Shakespeare and imperialism in England between 1780 and 1800. Chapters investigate landscape art and empire in the Boydell gallery, death and imperial subjectivity, gender and form in appropriations of Shakespeare by women artists and writers, caricatures that reference Shakespeare during these years, the use made of Shakespeare by prominent individuals to formulate their identities in the context of empire and the debates on the Quebec Bill in London’s parliament in May 1791. The thesis is primarily concerned to explore how gothic forms and representations were integrated into the history of Britain’s relationship to its empire; to assess the use of Shakespeare in academy painting and in forms such as engraving, graphic satire, relief sculpture and in writing. The study also emphasises affect: fear of imperial identities, the danger of overseas life, terror, nostalgia, affection in connection to the nation and its spaces, the increasingly imperial reach of relations with revolutionary France during these years, and pleasurable diversion in reappropriations of the plays in varying arenas
The Irish plays of James Shirley, 1636-1640
Get PDFAlthough he was a prominent and influential playwright during his theatrical career,
the work of James Shirley (1596-1666) has been neglected since Dryden's description
of him in 'MacFlecknoe' as a mere 'type...of tautology'. Shirley holds a unique place
amongst Caroline dramatists as, at the height of his career, he left London to become
resident playwright of the first purpose-built theatre in Ireland, the Werburgh Street
Theatre. This seminal event has received fairly little attention from scholars, and the
plays of this Irish period (The Royal Master, The Doubtful Heir, The Gentleman of
Venice, The Politician and St. Patrick for Ireland) have not previously been examined
as a whole.
This thesis examines Shirley's Irish period in its entirety, from the
circumstances surrounding his move to Dublin in 1636, through an exploration of his
relationship with the Werburgh Street Theatre and what influenced his Irish plays, to
the factors which resulted in his return to England in 1640. The thesis historicises the
production of these plays in their socio-political context. The chapters
(chronologically arranged by play) provide close textual studies and contextual
material relating the texts to their patrons, performance spaces, audiences, print history
and Irish politics. This research reveals that during this four year period, Shirley
gradually adapted his writing style in a targeted attempt to appeal to the tastes of the
Dublin audience. Shirley managed the theatre with John Ogilby, who was appointed
Master of the Revels in Ireland by Lord Deputy Wentworth. An analysis of the
relationship between these three key figures has contributed to a comprehensive
picture of the socio-political conditions of Shirley‘s writing. Through the investigation
of Shirley's work and professional position during this time, this thesis builds on
recent critical recovery work (including that by Hadfield/Maley, Rankin, Dutton) on
the literary-political circumstances of Stuart Ireland
