Mike Kenner Archive
No full textAn installation of archive as artwork, created for the exhibition Dark Places by the author.
Donated by the campaigner and activist Mike Kenner, the archive contains material of over 30 years of personal research and FOI requests for information to Porton Down, the Cabinet Office and others, all implicated in experiments involving the spraying of the public with alleged toxic materials. Kenner's work has been so sustained in uncovering material, used in a range of research and media coverage, that his knowledge has in turn been co-opted by Porton Down administration, who forward enquiries of this nature on to him directly. This tactic turns Kenner into part of the machine that he resists.
The display of the archive followed a three month period of sorting, dating and printing out items with a corresponding master file. Thousands of documents, films and other materials are presented in this a facsimiled version of the original. The catalogue and all the materials are made available physically at the site of exhibition, but not in digital formats due to sensitivity of materials and issues relating to copyright and the Crown. Some films were displayed and the layout is based on an aerial view of Porton Down and a bunker whose boundary prescribes the space of the installation.
As with other pieces in Dark Places, the research is published to test out spaces of secrecy and the ways in which a topology of research can be articulated both in its physical and informational forms. As part of Office of Experiments, it also represents the start of the ARC - an Autonomous Research Collection that would aim to collate activist and alternative archives for posterity outside of normal institutional practice

Infusing quality and safety education for nurses into your curriculum: A workshop funded by a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
No full textThe QSEN Competencies include implementation of quality improvement strategies, evidence-based practice, patient safety, integration of informatics into patient care and health management, patient centeredness in care management, and strategies to improve the teamwork and collaboration required to achieve consistent positive outcomes and improve the delivery of care. Nurses must enter the workforce with these competencies, and nurse educators need support and strategies to embed these competencies into nursing education. These presentations focus specifically on providing nurse educators in the academic and practice arenas, the knowledge and resources necessary to fully and effectively integrate these competencies into teaching plans in both settings. The workshop highlights research findings related to the QSEN Competencies, as well as resources available to engage nurses and nursing students in work that promotes competency development. Nationally recognized experts in patient care, nursing education, and quality improvement provide the instruction and coaching for these presentations. The overarching goal of these presentations is to provide nurse educators with the knowledge needed to develop and implement teaching strategies that support integration of the QSEN Competencies into education programs for nurses and nursing students in order to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans.

A Study of Fantasy Techniques in the "Für Kenner und Liebhaber"
No full textCarl Philipp Emanuel Bach was among one of the earliest who contributed to the musical development in German & Austria region in the history of western music. He was active between 1740 and 1788. The six volumes of the Clavier-Sonaten und Freye Fantasien nebst einigen Rondos für Kenner und Liebhaber printed later in his life are greatly admired for its artistic level is comparable with the compositions of Haydn and Mozart. The thirty-seven compositions contained in the für Kenner und Liebhaber consist one common feature, the fantasy technique.
This thesis will focus on the study of Emanuel's concept of fantasy and the application of fantasy technique in the für Kenner und Liebhaber. The writing consists of three chapters apart from the preface and the conclusion. The first chapter focuses on the related background reflected through Emanuel's life, this chapter describes the different musical environments of Berlin and Hamburg in the mid-eighteen century, and the contemporary musical thoughts of recognizing variety and differentiation of human expressions. The second chapter states the printing process of the für Kenner und Liebhaber. Emanuel's selection of music was based on the combination of three aspects: the popular taste, contemporary musical concepts and his own musicality. Later in the chapter the author will focus on three fundamental liberties of free fantasy: rhythm, tonality and material freedom. The third chapter discusses how the fantasy technique is applied in the für Kenner und Liebhaber. The author will analyze the six fantasies based on three features of the fantasy technique, the effects of the technique on the musical phrases and the influences on the structure of the sonata, and finally the processors of the technique transforming the rondo from simple to complex musical form.
Many evidences show the style of fantasy suiting Emanuel's artistic talent the best. He freely applied features of other musical form in his fantasy, and yet used the fantasy technique in other types of musical in the most settle and refine manner. The für Kenner und Liebhaber is the best example of the fantasy technique and the essence of Emanuel's musical composition
Neonatal Nursing Research: An International Perspective—the Swedish View
No full textOur world is shrinking because of computerized linkages and the mobility of society. Information is shared rapidly around the world. Issues surrounding newborn and infant nursing are global.

Review of \u3ci\u3eBuffalo Soldiers and Officers of the Ninth Cavalry, 1867-1898: Black & White Together\u3c/i\u3e By Charles L. Kenner
No full textCharles Kenner presents a vivid portrait of some of the men and officers of one of the four regiments of black enlisted men and mostly white officers in the post-Civil War army. This regimental cast runs the gamut from the dedicated and gallant to bigots and bullies. There is Colonel Edward Hatch, who commanded the Ninth for twenty-three years, and Major Guy V. Henry, a tireless cheerleader for the regiment and his own career. Here, too, are rankers of all degrees of competence, such as Emanuel Stance, a Medal of Honor winner so hated he was probably murdered by fellow soldiers. Kenner also sketches the service of three black officers: West Pointers John H. Alexander and Charles Young, and Chaplain Henry V. Plummer. Such men, according to Kenner, forged the Ninth into an elite regiment.
The Ninth Cavalry received the same arms and equipment and had the same duties as other units in the multi-purpose frontier force. Kenner traces the Ninth\u27s long service in Texas, followed by a shift to New Mexico and Colorado, and then a final transfer to Oklahoma Territory and posts on the Northern Plains. Constant patrols, occasional combat, pushing Indians onto reservations, preventing white incursions onto these lands, aiding civilian law officers, escorting cattle drives, and delivering the mail were all part of the regiment\u27s varied activities. In an excellent introductory chapter Kenner notes that few desertions and frequent re-enlistments gave the Ninth a cadre of experienced veterans.
Kenner correctly places race and racism at the center of his study. This is a fascinating look at the delicate relationship, the frail entente, between white officers and black soldiers.
The research is first-rate. Kenner has made especially good use of the wealth of information found in military records. Unlike some white observers, black soldiers wrote little; but Kenner found their voice in military personnel, pension, and court martial records. This is a welcome and well-documented look at some men who might otherwise be forgotten.
Regrettably, the book is flawed by the author\u27s admission of a psychological affinity for underdogs. Kenner\u27s black soldiers thirst for honor, one suffers martyrdom, and a lynch mob could not have perpetrated a greater miscarriage of justice against another. The same bias fuels Kenner\u27s use of such terms as elite, esprit de corps, and years of glory. These personal statements ignore or exaggerate the evidence. During thirty years of frontier service, the\u27 men and officers of the Ninth Cavalry compiled a creditable record. The story of these soldiers and their regiment needs telling, but embellishments are unnecessary
