Trigeminal neuralgia, migraine and sympathetic hyperactivity in a patient with Parry–Romberg syndrome
No full textParry–Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder of unknown aetiology that involves slowly progressive but self-limited wasting of subcutaneous tissues on one side of the face, usually in the distribution of a branch of the trigeminal nerve. In an internet survey of 205 people on the mailing list of the ‘Romberg's Connection’ site, 52% reported suffering from migraine and 46% from facial pain, almost always affecting the same side as the atrophy. Headaches and facial pain have also featured in case reports, sometimes in association with an intracranial aneurysm or radiological signs of ipsilateral brain pathology.
We had the opportunity to examine trigeminal and cervical sympathetic nerve function in a woman with right-sided Parry–Romberg syndrome, migraine and trigeminal neuralgia. We wished to determine whether signs of trigeminal or cervical sympathetic hyperactivity were associated with the facial hemiatrophy, because aberrant cranial nerve function has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Parry–Romberg syndrome

The Music of Johannes Brahms in Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century England and an Assessment of His Reception and Influence on the Chamber and Orchestral Works of Charles Hubert Hastings Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford
No full textThe music of Johannes Brahms currently enjoys popularity comparable with that of Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven throughout England. However, unlike composers such as Handel and Mendelssohn who preceded him, Brahms never actually set foot on English soil, thereby making the introduction and eventual acceptance of his music in England long and difficult. This process was eventually engineered principally through the determination and perseverance of several prominent performers, conductors and critics, such as Clara Schumann and August Manns, during the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Aside from a small number of relatively short articles and unpublished lectures, the reception and subsequent influence of the music of Brahms in England, and in particular on the composers Charles Hubert Hastings Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford, has not been the subject of any major or substantial study, yet is still a popular notion in many texts on nineteenth century British music. This thesis attempts to assemble and evaluate all the available information on the subject, from the principal people responsible for introducing the music of Brahms to England, to an assessment of the appearance of his supposed reception and influence in England in historical and biographical texts. Finally, a much needed analytical evaluation of key chamber and orchestral compositions across Parry and Stanford’s relative outputs concludes the thesis, attempting to bring clarity to the vexed, outdated, but still commonly accepted notion that their works were merely an inferior assimilation of those of Brahms
A cross-national analysis of e-HRM configurations: integrating the information technology and HRM perspectives
No full textThis study is based on a configurational approach and aims to provide systematic knowledge on which configurations of e-HRM adoption actually exist at the global level. We operationalised e-HRM configuration as a com-bination of the actual degree of technological presence and the degree to which the technology is used to enable HRM activities. The core research questions addressed in this paper are: Which configurational types exist in e-HRM adoption? Which contextual factors explain the emergence of a certain configurational type of e-HRM? We adopted an exploratory cross-national research design and performed a cluster analysis among 5854 companies operating in 31 countries. According to our findings four types of e-HRM configurations can be identified named “non-usage”, “HR primacy”, “Integrated e-HRM”, and “IT primacy”. In particular, the lack of cooperation between IT and HR departments generates hybrid e-HRM configurations and unsuccessful adoption. Moreover, organizational size, SHRM and competing in international markets contribute more to determine the actual type of e-HRM configuration. Our results suggest also that the effect of national policies triggering innovation on e-HRM configurations should be considered rather than broader geographical clusters

Care in the community? Gender and the reconfiguration of community work in a post-mining neighbourhood
No full textThis chapter draws upon a qualitative research project which examined the post-1984/85 Strike experiences of a South Wales coalmining population, and looked at how people engage in work for their communities, why this work is undertaken, and how it fits in with their other responsibilities, transgressing private and public, formal and informal boundaries (Parry, 2000). I argue that community work continues to provide a powerful occupation for local populations, and that the disruption of traditional solidarities in the coalfields has at once encompassed gain, loss and stasis. These have given way to a more diverse array of community activities, which reflect the increasingly variable socioeconomic circumstances of people’s lives

A theoretical model for predicting strength of ring-stiffened tubular T-joints in offshore structures
No full textA theoretical model for predicting the strength of ring-stiffened tubular T-joints in offshore structures M. M. K. Lee, BSc, PhD, CEng, MICE, MIStructE, and A. Llewelyn-Parry, BEng Although not commonly used in modern design, ring stiffeners were extensively used to enhance the strength of tubular joints in older offshore steel jacket structures. No detailed guidance on the determination of the strength of ring-stiffened joints can be found in any major offshore code. There is therefore a need for research for the purposes of structural assessment when platforms are upgraded or modified...<br/
