Simply Hemingway
No full textConcise introduction to Hemingway\u27s life and work from Oak Park to Ketchum. Hays follows Hemingway around the world, critically examining the author\u27s writings chronologically, beginning with early stories from In Our Time and concluding with posthumous works such as A Moveable Feast, Under Kilimanjaro, and The Garden of Eden. Hays\u27s combined biography/close reading situates the author and his works within their historical and cultural milieus, capturing succinctly the complexity of both the man and his art. Concludes with an assessment of Hemingway\u27s literary legacy and suggestions for further reading
Hemingway and Bullshit
No full textThis paper uses Harry Frankfurt\u27s definition of bullshit as a lens to re-examine Ernest Hemingway\u27s aesthetic of factual details and omission. Frankfurt argues that bullshit consists of speech made with indifference to its veracity, and one who makes a habit of bullshitting may lose touch with reality. By studying three works across the author\u27s career, Big Two-Hearted River, The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, and The Old Man and the Sea, one sees that Hemingway\u27s prose style evolves and eventually contradicts his artistic statements. Given the fact that he promotes his aesthetic while discarding it, his theory becomes bullshit. Because normative critical interpretation of the author rests largely on his aesthetic theory, it too is inaccurate. Though Hemingway misrepresents how he writes, the success of his work regardless of aesthetics demonstrates that his writing is more complex than many think and deserves a more thorough re-evaluation

Hemingway and pictorial art
No full textHemingway's fiction, nonfiction and statements from interviews contain numerous references to pictorial artists. This study analyzes these references with the intention of clarifying his relationship to painting. By doing so, it sheds new light on Hemingway and his writing. The first and second chapters discuss the nature of Hemingway's debt to the painters he selected for his masters. Hemingway's Goya-esque treatment of man is the subject of the first chapter. Both men portray man with his animal nature, man at war and the concomitant horrors, the destiny of man and Nada, and the potentiality of the bullfight for human victory and defeat. Hemingway, like Goya, includes the ugliness of a situation in his art. Chapter two focuses on Hemingway's portrayal of the natural setting. The importance he placed upon the natural setting is established, then his acknowledged debt to Cezanne is explored. An analysis of Hemingway's renditions of landscape reveals his conscious attempt to emulate Cezanne's use of movement and changing perspective in his landscapes. Bruegel is a second landscape painter he selected for a master. Hemingway occasionally sought to render a landscape from a fixed perspective depicting man and nature as Bruegel did. He chose three innovators in pictorial art to teach him about the art of writing
Prescribing by mental health nurses: the UK perspective
No full textPURPOSE. This article aims to discuss the growth of mental health nurse (MHN) prescribing in the United Kingdom as an exemplar for readers to compare progress in their own countries and context. This study also aims to provide a historical overview of this process in the United Kingdom where MHNs prescribe safely and competently.
CONCLUSIONS. Finally, evidence has shown that MHNs with prescriptive authority are competent when prescribing when compared to psychiatrists.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Despite organizational barriers and educational concerns, MHN prescribing is becoming embedded in the healthcare context in the United Kingdo
«Colline come elefanti bianchi» di E. Hemingway: Una proposta di studio
No full textWhen faced with E. Hemingway\u27s «Hills Like White Elephants», one cannot but be intrigued by the interpretation task required from the reader: the author omits fundamental information, threatening the understanding of the scene described in the text. This article questions, therefore, what it means to interpret this text, discussing the pervasive idea that interpreting always coincides with the answer to the question "what did the author mean?". Critically developing this point, I will thus affirm that a story such by Hemingway will not only determine a new and more pregnant concept of "interpretation" but will also coincide with the demand for a particular narrative involvement of the reader in the story itself.Di fronte a «Colline come elefanti bianchi» di E. Hemingway, non si può non essere incuriositi dal compito interpretativo richiesto al lettore: l\u27autore omette informazioni fondamentali, minacciando la comprensione della scena descritta nel testo. Questo articolo si interroga, quindi, su cosa significhi interpretare questo testo, discutendo l\u27idea pervasiva che interpretare coincida sempre con la risposta alla domanda "cosa voleva dire l\u27autore?". Sviluppando criticamente questo punto, affermerò quindi che un racconto come quello di Hemingway non solo determina un nuovo e più pregnante concetto di "interpretazione", ma coincide anche con la richiesta di un particolare coinvolgimento narrativo del lettore nel racconto stesso

Student experiences of medicines management training and education
No full textNurses on registration are expected to have sufficient knowledge and
skills in medicine management to practice safely and competently.
This article reports on research involving midwifery and nursing
students, who were asked to complete a questionnaire related to
their experiences of medicines-related training and education, and
how it prepared them for practice. The results showed an overall
satisfaction with the pre-registration delivery, but differences
emerged in the perceived efficacy of different educational strategies.
Clinically‑based and simulated aspects of the programme delivery
were highly rated, with theoretical delivery scoring poorly in
contrast. A stepped approach is suggested, with medicine course
delivery needing to be strongly highlighted as a lead up to safe and
competent nursing interventions when administering medication
and all other related interventions. A grant from the innovation fund
at the University of Huddersfield funded an evaluation of students’
experiences of medicines management education and training using
a self‑administered questionnaire
Characterization of carboxylesterases involved in the insecticide resistance of Culex quinquefasciatus from the Caribbean and South America.
No full textThe organophosphate resistance-associated elevated
esterases
Estα2, Estβ1
and
Estβ2 were purified to homogeneity from larvae
of the
Cuban Habana
strain.
The
bimolecular rate constants (kas) of Habana Estβ1
with
a range
of organophosphates
were not significantly different to those of
PelRR Estβ21 ,
and were
higher
with
some organophosphates than PelRR Estα21 (Karunaratne
et al,
1993).
The
relative
insecticide binding efficiency of these esterases could
not, therefore,
explain why
co-amplified estα2 and estβ2 are out competing estβ1
in the
field.
On the
basis
of their
kas, both Habana Estα2 and Estβ2 could
be
distinguished from their
equivalents
purified from other strains.
In two organophosphate resistant strains
of
Culex
quinquefasciatus
from
Colombia
and Trinidad, possessing the amplified
esterase
genes estα3
and
estβl, the
EcoRI
restriction fragment lengths of the estβl genes
and their
flanking
regions
were
different both to each other and to those
previously reported
for
TEM-R
estβ11
(Raymond et aL, 1991) and MRES estβ12
(Vaughan
et aL,
1995).
There
were
a
number of significant differences between the
kas of
purified
Colombia,
Trinidad
and Habana Estβ1s. The low kas and high k3s for the
interaction
of
Colombia Estβ1
with several insecticides confirmed that, as
for
Estα21
and
Estβ21, the
main role
of
Estβ1 is sequestration. The kas of Habana, Colombia
and
Trinidad
Estβ1s
were
higher than that of the electrophoretically
identical
Est'β13
purified
from the
susceptible PelSS strain (Karunaratne et
al,
1995a). This
suggests that the
elevated
esterase-based mechanism confers resistance through
amplification
of
alleles
coding
C
for esterases having a higher reactivity with the
insecticides they
sequester
than esterases coded for by their non-amplified counterparts. A PelRR Estα21 antiserum had the same cross-reactivity
with
Habana
Estα2
as with
Estα21. However, both Habana Estβ1 and
Estβ2
had
a
cross-reactivity
of
approximately 150-fold less than the Estα2s
Ernest Hemingway, R.I.P.
No full textReview of The Garden of Eden. Contends that despite questionable editing, there are enough clues in the posthumous novel to suggest that Hemingway was experimenting toward a greater truth in his development of character and theme, leaving behind the romance and literary bigotry of earlier works.
