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

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/
Efficacy of the herpes zoster subunit vaccine in adults 70 years of age or older
No full textA trial involving adults 50 years of age or older (ZOE-50) showed that the herpes zoster subunit vaccine (HZ/su) containing recombinant varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E and the AS01B adjuvant system was associated with a risk of herpes zoster that was 97.2% lower than that associated with placebo. A second trial was performed concurrently at the same sites and examined the safety and efficacy of HZ/su in adults 70 years of age or older (ZOE-70).This randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial was conducted in 18 countries and involved adults 70 years of age or older. Participants received two doses of HZ/su or placebo (assigned in a 1:1 ratio) administered intramuscularly 2 months apart. Vaccine efficacy against herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia was assessed in participants from ZOE-70 and in participants pooled from ZOE-70 and ZOE-50.In ZOE-70, 13,900 participants who could be evaluated (mean age, 75.6 years) received either HZ/su (6950 participants) or placebo (6950 participants). During a mean follow-up period of 3.7 years, herpes zoster occurred in 23 HZ/su recipients and in 223 placebo recipients (0.9 vs. 9.2 per 1000 person-years). Vaccine efficacy against herpes zoster was 89.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 84.2 to 93.7;

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.

The Mosaic Panel of Constantine IX and Zoe in Saint Sophia
No full textREB 36 1978 France p. 219-232
N. Oikonomides, The Mosaic Panel of Constantine IX and Zoe in Saint Sophia. — This wellknown mosaic panel of the South Gallery of Saint Sophia was first made in order to commemorate a generous donation to the Church by Romanos III Argyros (1028-1034) and his wife Zoe. When Constantine IX Monomachos (1042-1055), Zoe's third husband, made a new and more important donation to Saint Sophia, the patriarch Michael Keroularios had the heads of the imperial couple and of the central figure of Christ as well as the accompanying inscriptions changed, in order to commemorate the new donation. Certain discrepancies in the preserved mosaic lead the author to the hypothesis that the « new » heads of Zoe and of Christ come from an earlier mosaic of similar dimensions, made before 1028, at a time when Zoe was young.</jats:p
