Frank Swinnerton : the life and works of a bookman
No full textFrank Swinnerton worked as a clerk for J.M. Dent & Co. between 1901 and 1907 and as a publisher's reader for Chatto & Windus from 1907 until 1926, during which time he began his career as a writer of fiction, became influential as a reviewer and commentator on literary fashions, and began close friendships with Arnold Bennett, HG Wells and Hugh Walpole. In 1926 he left London to live in Cranleigh, Surrey, as a full-time writer of novels, short stories, critical works, book and theatre reviews, and miscellaneous articles for newspapers and periodicals. He died at the age of ninety-eight in 1982. This is the first biography of Frank Swinnerton to be undertaken in Great Britain. An analysis has been made of each of his works, both novels and non-fiction. His influence in literary circles has been assessed, and his contribution to the book world is placed within the background of literary output and trends in the twentieth century. Swinnerton was not a great writer, but his temperament, circumstances and talent combined to produce a respected literary figure whose strength was his perception and understanding of the progress of the British literary world through the centuries.
Swinnerton's numerous friendships are dealt with as they occurred, although major relationships are examined more fully at the point where the friend died. For example, details on HG Wells can be found with his death in 1946 and on Compton Mackenzie with his death in 1972. Greater space has been given to his involvements with Arnold Bennett and Hugh Walpole, in separate chapters placed close to the time of their deaths in 1931 and 1941. One other chapter stands out of sequence. This examines Swinnerton's relationship with his two wives: his complex courtship of Helen Dircks and his second marriage to Mary Bennett. This period, between 1917 and 1924, which also includes a
description of his first lecture tour of the USA in 1923, has been placed immediately after chapters 7 and 8, which examine Swinnerton's general life and work during the same period. Apart from published works and newspaper and periodical articles, the main material used has been Swinnerton's personal diaries, which date from 1910 to 1978, and the correspondence and miscellaneous papers in his personal possession. Also consulted has been a doctoral thesis by Jesse Franklin McCartney presented to the University of Arkansas in 1965, which annotates the large collection of correspondence by Frank Swinnerton to writers, publishers, boakmen and other literary figures, as well as their
replies, which are housed in the University library. Full texts of these letters have been obtained where appropriate and used in this work. Professor Blair Rouse of the University of Arkansas wrote a critical appreciation of Swinnerton's work in the 1960s and his widow has allowed use of the unpublished manuscript and letters exchanged between Rouse and Swinnerton, and has sent correspondence between Swinnerton and the Pinker family. Finally, Swinnerton's friends and family have provided facts, opinions and reminiscences

The social determinants of health: Time to re-think?
No full textTwelve years have now passed since the influential WHO Report on the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) in 2008. A group of senior international public health scholars and decision-makers met in Italy in mid-2019 to review the legacy of the SDoH conceptual framework and its adequacy for the many challenges facing our field as we enter the 2020s. Four major categories of challenges were identified: emerging “exogenous” challenges to global health equity, challenges related to weak policy and practice implementation, more fundamental challenges related to SDoH theory and research, and broader issues around modern research in general. Each of these categories is discussed, and potential solutions offered. We conclude that although the SDoH framework is still a worthy core platform for public health research, policy, and practice, the time is ripe for significant evolution
The Unendorsable Frank Zappa
No full textThe title seems cryptic at first, and the thanks extended to “Jesus Christ—the author of all things good” in the acknowledgments section somewhat puzzling. This collection of essays gathered by Paul Carr offers a comprehensive view of Frank Zappa the artist, the public figure and the man. A prolific performer, composer, producer, recording engineer, social commentator and occasional film director, Frank Zappa never achieved the level of popularity of the major American bands that emerged in t..
Outcome prediction for endovascular therapy: Multimodal deep learning for acute ischemic events in the arteria cerebri media
No full textThe efficacy of endovascular therapy in large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the anterior circulation is dependent to a high degree on the selection of patients who are likely to benefit from this procedure. To this end, functional outcome prediction based on clinical parameters is an active area of research. In the preoperative screening of LVO patients, CT-Angiography (CTA) imaging is commonly acquired. We compare the functional outcome prediction performance of multiple deep learning based classifiers with multiple conventional methods, including the clinically validated MR PREDICTS decision tool. Using a dataset composed of 1929 preprocedural CTA images combined with clinical data, we compare a clinical baseline model with an imaging based pipeline and a combined pipeline. For the imaging model backbone we train various state-of-the-art architectures (Med3D, Vision Transformer, Voxel Transformer). These models are used to predict dichotomized modified Rankin Scale score 90 days after mechanical thrombectomy. Binary classifier outcomes are quantified using Area-Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve (AUC). The activation maps of the best performing image based model are further investigated using the GradCAM++ posthoc visualization method. Combining clinical features with information extracted from CTA images does not significantly improve the performance of functional outcome prediction methods compared to the baseline model. The information extracted from the images does not seem tobe complementary to the clinical features. This multimodal technique can however replace radiologically derived biomarkers, as its performance is non-inferior.https://gitlab.com/radiology/igit/msc-projects/frank-te-nijenhuis/thesis-new-version Gitlab repository containing code for the projectComputer Scienc
