Kenneth Clark: Women artists and WW2
No full textWhat contribution did women artists make during the Second World War? Why is their work not widely discussed or acknowledged? In this lecture at Tate Britain, London, art historian Dr Alicia Foster explores the role of women artists, their contribution to the war effort, and the gendered power struggles that occurred and still occur. Using her novel Warpaint - which features Kenneth Clark as a character - as a starting point, Foster delves into his position as Chairman of the War Artists Advisory Committee and what that meant for women artists.
This event is related to the exhibition, Kenneth Clark, at Tate Britain, 20 May - 10 August 2014
Metabolic aspects of postoperative care
No full textIn a survey of 167 patients undergoing abdominal surgery it was noted that 70% of patients with a low measure of muscle protein,before gastric, pancreatic or colonic operations, developed postoperative complications. The metabolic disturbances arising from operation and measures to diminish nitrogen excretion were therefore evaluated. Compared with fasting volunteers, patients had modestly increased nitrogen excretion, but marked increase in urine 3 methyl-histidine excretion, suggesting increases in both muscle protein catabolism and protein resynthesis. Glucose infusion (1.5 g/kg body weight/day) profoundly altered blood metabolite concentrations but had little effect on nitrogen excretion, perhaps because of increased gluconeogenesis after operation. Infusion of mixed 1 amino acids, at the same rate, decreased circulating concentrations of ketone bodies,but diminished nitrogen excretion from 12.7 mmol/kg/day (SEM ± 1.4) in saline treated controls to a net balance of -1.7 mmol/kg/day (SEM ± 1.7). In patients with peritonitis amino acid infusions also decreased 3 methyl-histidine excretion.Total parenteral nutrition diminished net nitrogen loss after total cystectomy, but there was no improvement in recovery. It is concluded that although low preoperative protein reserves are associated with postoperative complications, postoperative measures to decrease nitrogen loss do not improve prognosis. The protein sparing effects of glucose and amino acids are least effective in the most severely catabolic patients. Infusion of amino acids alone markedly decreases nitrogen loss by various mehhanisms, but the effect of modest ketonaemia is relatively unimportant in this respect. The clinical use of amino acid infusions alone currently has no satisfactory foundation.</p
Interview with Kenneth Sprunt
No full textKenneth Sprunt was born in Wilmington in 1920, the third son of James Lawrence Sprunt. The Sprunts have a long history in and around Wilimington. His grandfather was a cotton merchant in the area and his great-great Uncle is the man for whom James Sprunt Community College is named for as well as the author of Chronicles of the Lower Cape Fear. Mr. Kenneth Sprunt relates his family history both before his birth and after. He spent three years in the Coast Guard during WWII primarily working on anti-submarine warfare in small boats
Dr. Kenneth Freeman, Participant
No full textKenneth Freeman began his career at NASA Ames Research Center working in local and wide area networking, network research and space communications, playing major roles in several engineering and research projects. He then led at team to implement NASA’s Security Operations Center (SOC), building a cyber-security operations center that is the nerve center for the detection and monitoring information security incidents for NASA. He is now leading the ATM-X Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Secure Airspace Technology Group, which develops and demonstrates capabilities, for secure data integrity, resiliency, and information privacy for national airspace environments.
Kenneth Freeman is now Sub-Project Manager of the NAS Exploratory Concepts and Technologies project, which is working to foster airspace integration for secure diverse and scalable cooperative extensible traffic management (xTM) operations.https://commons.erau.edu/avcysecworkshop-bios-2024/1017/thumbnail.jp
A Review by Kenneth Atkinson of Alexandria and Qumran: Back to the Beginning, by Kenneth Silver
No full textKenneth Silver (a.k.a. Kenneth A. K. Lönnqvist), is a historian and professional archaeologist, who has lived and worked for decades in the Near East. With extensive publications on Hellenistic and Roman archaeology, history, and numismatics, Silver is the director of a survey and mapping project in Northern Mesopotamia studying the border zone between the late Roman/ Byzantine Empires and Persia. Author of numerous publications on Qumran and related topics, Silver’s lengthy monograph proposes that the documents and type of library found at Qumran were based on models derived from Egypt. The main thesis of the volume is that Pythagorean philosophy is the core and basis for the beliefs reflected in the non-Biblical texts found at Qumran

Food fraud and the Partnership for a ‘Healthier’ America: a case study in state-corporate crime
No full textAt a moment of heightened public concern over food-related health issues, major corporations in the food industry have found their products and practices under scrutiny. Needing to be understood as socially responsible, these corporations have established partnerships with the state to construct a positive, proactive, and cooperative public image. One major public-private partnership that evolved from former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative—the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA)—serves as a case study in this paper, which analyzes the opportunity costs and social harms perpetuated by a public health campaign bound by the imperative to maximize profit. By using trusted state actors to deliver accurate but deceptive claims about food companies’ commitment to public health, this public-private partnership actively misleads the public and potentially exacerbates public health challenges, warranting a skeptical revision of how we understand corporate social responsibility and neoliberal governance on issues of health and nutrition. As a form of fraud, these attempts to mislead the public go beyond the actions of public sector individuals or members of corporate boards, but are structurally incentivized by the legal rights, regulatory privileges, and profit-related incentives central to the modern corporate form. While conventional criminological research tends to underemphasize state and corporate harms, we make use of a critical criminological perspective to analyze state-corporate partnerships in the space between food industry practices and public health policy.Peer reviewe
An exploration of sibling contact for children in foster care
No full textThis research study contributes to research in the area of sibling contact for children in foster care. Undertaken in collaboration with the Irish Foster Care Association in Waterford, this study aims to explore sibling contact based on the retrospective experiences of adults formerly in foster care in Waterford. At present, much of the research on this important topic is based in the United States and the United Kingdom and so does not necessarily relate to the Irish context. This study provides valuable insight into children’s experiences of continued contact with their siblings, from whom they were separated during foster care; looking at the role of legislation and policy, the nature and frequency of contact and the facilitators and barriers to contact in terms of maintaining sibling relationships. As a social work student, this study has important implications for practice and offers recommendations for improving the quality of children’s experiences of contact while in foster care, which has proven to have a significant influence on the development and maintenance of these important relationships
