Health Care Claims and Mental Health Emergency Department Utilization
No full textIn partnership with NH DHHS, the IHPP Center for Health Analytics analyzed commercial and NH Medicaid administrative claims data in an effort to better understand visits to emergency departments for mental health conditions from April 2019 to March 2020.

Usability and acceptability of a website that provides tailored advice on falls prevention activities for older people
No full textThis article presents the usability and acceptability of a website that provides older people with tailored advice to help motivate them to undertake physical activities that prevent falls. Views on the website from interviews with 16 older people and 26 sheltered housing wardens were analysed thematically. The website was well received with only one usability difficulty with the action plan calendar. The older people selected balance training activities out of interest or enjoyment, and appeared to carefully add them into their current routine. The wardens were motivated to promote the website to their residents, particularly those who owned a computer, had balance problems, or were physically active. However, the participants noted that currently a minority of older people use the Internet. Also, some older people underestimated how much activity was enough to improve balance, and others perceived themselves as too old for the activities

Shaping Spirits, or, Imagination and "Abstruse Research": the perils of metaphysics and Coleridge's loss of form in the years of his philosophical accomplishment
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 78-81).The mystical nature of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poems, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', 'Christabel' and 'Kubla Khan' has intrigued readers for over two centuries. Of these full poems only the "Rime" is complete and yet they all still enjoy the scrutiny of a wide audience. This thesis examines the circumstances surrounding Coleridge's inability to continue writing such poems of imaginative force
Cultural and Genre Markers in Lucy Hutchinson's Order and Disorder
No full textOrder and Disorder, since its attribution to Lucy Hutchinson (1620-1681) at the turn of the twenty-first century, has been hailed as Eve’s version of Genesis, as the first epic poem by an English woman, even conjuring a Paradise Lost written by “Judith Milton”. More recently, scholars have questioned the genre of this unfinished poem in 20 cantos, moving it from the category of epic to that of the biblical meditation and paraphrase. Hutchinson’s work expresses what Elizabeth Scott-Baumann (2013, 197) has termed a “poetics of not knowing”: negotiating the need to remain faithful to the Biblical narrative and a desire to express the ineffable, Hutchinson promises her readers in the Preface that they will find “nothing of fancy”, “no elevations of style, no charms of language”, and yet, the author resorts to an array of techniques to sing the sublimity of the “mystic wonders” with which her “ravished soul” has been “fire[d]” (1.1-2). Such devices include gendered modesty tropes; apophasis; potentially subversive conditionals and subjunctives; a complex intertextuality with authors ranging from Virgil and Lucretius to Du Bartas, Edmund Spenser, and even Shakespeare, and a complication of the readerly experience via paratextual glosses. This essay wishes to revisit the assessment of such techniques and suggest that Hutchinson weaves in her poem different markers to voice the varying degrees of her “endless admiration” (1.15)
Branding, Marketing and Product Innovation: The attempts of British Banks to Reach Consumers in the Interwar Period
No full textThis paper considers the relationships of the ‘Big Five’ British clearing banks with their personal customers in the interwar period. British banks formed a cartel and dominated the market for domestic financial services from the early twentieth century onwards. This cartel, combined with government imposed restrictions upon lending, meant that banks were severely restrained in their ability to offer new products and consequently to distinguish themselves from their competitors. It also meant that consumers had limited choices in terms of financial service providers. In this environment, bank managements had to rely heavily upon building brand image and utilising marketing techniques in order to differentiate themselves and to attract customers. For many bankers such techniques were new and unpopular – they were not used to communicating with their customers. From the perspective of the consumer, the paper aims to examine if the adoption of such marketing, brand building and public relations efforts were successful or not. It draws upon sources from bank archives but also from newspapers and public inquiries in an attempt to gather both the perceptive of banks and of their customers. The paper presents an analysis of personal customers and their relationships with, and views of, British banks in order to build upon the growing literature concerned with corporations and their consumers.
