Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Übertragbarkeit der gesundheitsökonomischen Evaluationen : Methoden für die multinationalen Studien
No full textFilonenko A. Generalizability of health economic evaluations : methods for multinational patient-level studies. Bielefeld (Germany): Bielefeld University; 2010.Background: Cost-effectiveness outcomes collected in multinational health economic studies may vary across countries and geographic areas due to numerous clinical and socioeconomic factors. The between-country variability poses the question of generalizability of the cost-effectiveness estimates, i.e. applicability of the trial-wide results for the decision-making in particular jurisdiction.
Objectives: The purpose of this research is to illustrate how selected methods can improve generalizability of the results of patient-level health economic studies by a) exploring between-country variability in incremental costs, effectiveness and resource use, b) calculation of trial-wide and country-level incremental cost, effectiveness and resource use while accounting for patient- and country-level covariates, and c) assessing the potential of covariates to predict cost and effectiveness estimates for the settings outside the study.
Methods: Review of published health-economic evidence and international HTA guidelines was conducted to evaluate applied or recommended methods and analytical strategies to improve generalizability of the health economic outcomes. In the case study, qualitative and quantitative homogeneity test by Simon and Gail is used to explore between-country heterogeneity of the treatment effects measured by incremental costs, effectiveness, resource use (length of hospitalization) and incremental net monetary benefit. Hierarchical modelling is applied to calculate trial-wide and country-level estimates, while accounting for clustering and incorporating country- and patient-level covariates.
Results: Simon and Gail test indicated qualitative homogeneity for incremental effectiveness, costs, length of hospitalization and net monetary benefit between treatment and control arms. Trial-wide and country-level mean incremental costs and effectiveness were estimated using hierarchical models with and without covariates. Results of hierarchical modelling suggested, that new treatment was more efficacious, saved costs and resource use in majority of the countries.
Conclusions: Homogeneity test and hierarchical models are complementary methods to explore heterogeneity and to estimate trial-wide and country-level parameters for cost-effectiveness analysis. Hierarchical models allow for country-level estimates and adjustment for covariates. In the case study the patient-level covariates showed effect on incremental cost and effectiveness; country-level covariates had very small impact on estimates. The use of country-level covariates as predictors for incremental cost and resource use to improve generalizability of health economic studies beyond the study setting merits further investigation

Ep. #002 - Anna Tsing
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cultures of Energy Podcast is now on iTunes! Stitcher soon! We celebrate Anna Tsing, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California Santa Cruz, one of the world’s greatest analysts of globalization and the environment and the author (most recently) of The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins. Then (6:16) Cymene and Anna talk about feminist legacies, more-than-human anthropology, capitalist ruins and how to think with weeds and mushrooms
