Remarkable Lives : Zoe Riley in conversation with Jerome Carson.
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to provide a profile of Zoe Riley.
Using a case study approach, Zoe provides an account of her background and is then interviewed by Jerome.
Zoe’s account reveals a remarkable resilience, developed through adversity, but nurtured by the love of her grandparents.
Mental illness surrounded Zoe when she was growing up. Her own mother experienced years of distress. Her grandfather effectively was her father. Despite the childhood adversity, and her own teenage problems, she came though it all. These are the stories you read about in textbooks.
Zoe reminds us that people in distress want to find connection. They don’t want us sitting there writing notes and not even looking at them!
We talk about “wounded healers.” Dr Glenn Roberts said that his own bouts of depression made it easier for him to sit with people in similar turmoil. The value of peer support has been under-rated by many.
It is of course a truism to say that everyone’s journey of recovery is unique. I know Zoe has already touched the lives of many people. I am sure she has so much more to contribute
The role of actor associations in understanding the implementation of lean thinking in healthcare
No full textPurpose: The importance of networks in effecting the outcomes of change processes is well-established in the literature. Whilst extant literature focuses predominantly on the structural properties of networks, our purpose is to explore the dynamics of network emergence that give rise to the outcomes of process interventions. We show how Actor Network Theory (ANT) may be used as a lens for interrogating the way in which management interventions play out in the complex organisational setting of a UK National Health Service Trust, providing insights for management of process change initiatives. Design/methodology/approach: This is a rich qualitative study in the Pathology Unit of a UK National Health Service Trust, using ANT as the theoretical lens for tracking the emergence and transformation of networks of individuals over the course of a management intervention to promote “lean thinking” for performance improvements.Findings: ANT is useful for explicitly tracking how organisational players shift their positions and network allegiances over time, and identifying objects and actions that are effective in engaging individuals in networks enabling transition to a lean process. It is important to attend to the dynamics of the process of change and devise appropriate timely interventions enabling actors to shift their own positions towards a desired outcome.Research limitations/implications: We make the case for using of theoretical frameworks developed outside the operations management to develop insights for designing process interventions.Originality/value: By understanding the role of shifting networks managers can use timely interventions during the process implementation to facilitate the transition to lean processes: e.g. using demonstrable senior leadership commitment and visual communication.<br/
Oedema management in a diabetic patient with foot ulceration and peripheral vascular disease: a case study
No full textPeripheral oedema is a recognised complication in prolonging wound healing. Despite this, there is little evidence available on the use of compression therapy in the presence of diabetic foot disease. The case study outlined in this article demonstrates how careful assessment, monitoring and close multidisciplinary working facilitated the use of a reduced compression system to aid wound healing in a diabetic foot

Deconstructing Zoe: Performing Race
No full text“When I’m driving as a man, nobody notices me, everyone goes Chink, but when I’m Zoe people are honking me, winking at me, tailing me and she’s like voom, speeding down the West Way.” What is it that makes Chinese men mostly invisible in the West? Why, by contrast, are Chinese women nearly always seen as desirable? Zoe has grappled with this question in her work as an actor on stage. As a Chinese man he often passes unnoticed, but as a Chinese woman, Zoe attracts attention and feels empowered. Deconstructing Zoe is a vivid and intimate portrait of a transgender actor. We trace the journey from boyhood in a small town in Malaysia to the West-end stage via the trans scene of London. The accompanying commentary describes the filmmaking process and discusses how Deconstructing Zoe, explores the intersection between gender, race and sexuality, in the postcolonial geographical spaces of her world stage. It questions how Zoe, by performing race, is able to create agency and become the author of her own identit

Being a Freshman, Being an Author: An Interview With Teen Author Zoe Trope
No full textWhile most fourteen year old girls are hanging out at the mall spending their hard-earned allowance on new clothes and quarters for an all-day marathon of Dance Dance Revolution at the video arcade, Portland-based author Zoe Trope was muddling through her freshman year of high school and composing a diary, which would later be turned into a much praised work of young adult literature, Please Don’t Kill the Freshman: A Memoir. In the opening pages of
the book, Trope displays her rare and witty teenage insight into the world of librarianship, insisting of the school media specialist, “You’re the one got stuck working in a high school library. No one chooses that profession, I’m sure.

Rebuilding the past: a critical examination of international and U.S. frameworks guiding the reconstruction of historic properties
No full textAuthenticity refers not only to the physical characteristics of cultural properties, but also to the ways in which collective memories connect with particular environments. Each historic site presents a unique interpretation of authenticity, rooted in a combination of the material, contextual, and cultural realms. Preservation standards have emerged to answer a number of questions regarding the need to develop guidelines for conservation of historic properties. This thesis addresses 90 years of cultural preservation policy through international standard-setting instruments, including the Athens Charter of 1931, the Venice Charter of 1964, UNESCO72, the World Heritage Operational Guidelines, the 1994 Nara Recommendation on Authenticity, and the 2011 Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape, as well as core United States federal preservation legislation, including the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for the Treatment of Historic Properties. These documents are examined for the specific framing of reconstruction actions, and the ways in which major interventions may simultaneously bolster and compromise authenticity of a historic property. Four case studies, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in Manhattan, New York; the Ise Temple complex in Japan; the rebuilt Frauenkirche in Dresden, Germany; and the Abu Simbel temple complex located near Aswan, Egypt, contribute to the discussions surrounding authenticity. Each site explored in this paper further illustrates the difficulties emerging from attempts to establish a uniform method of preservation interventions across a range of heritage sites. Modern, flexible preservation tools will establish the groundwork for new approaches to authenticity that accurately reflect the multifaceted significance of the global cultural environment and contribute to contemporary discussions on sustainable development.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Zoe Watni
