Talking about a Christine Borland sculpture: effective empathy in contemporary anatomy art (and an emerging counterpart in medical training?)
No full textThis Introduction and interview discusses the poetical and empathic insights that are a key to the effectiveness of contemporary artist Christine Borland's practice and its relevance to the medical humanities, visual art research and medical students’ training. It takes place in a context of intensive interest in reciprocity and conversation as well as expert exchange between the fields of Medicine and Contemporary Arts. The interview develops an understanding of medical research and the application of its historical resources and contemporary practice-based research in contemporary art gallery exhibitions. Artists tend not to follow prescriptive programmes towards new historical knowledge, however, a desire to form productive relationships between history and contemporary art practice does reveal practical advantages. Borland's research also includes investigations in anatomy, medical practices and conservatio

Nikolai Evreinov and Edith Craig as Mediums of Modernist Sensibility
No full textNikolai Evreinov (1870-1953) was a Russian playwright, director, and theorist of the theatre who played a leading part in the modernist movement of Russian theatre. Evreinov's 1911 monodrama The Theatre of the Soul (V kulisakh dushi) was staged by the Crooked Mirror theatre in St Petersburg in 1912. It was also performed in London (1915) and Rome (1929), and inspired Man Ray to create his aerograph The Theatre of the Soul (1917). In this article Alexandra Smith links Evreinov's play to Russian modernist thought shaped by the atmosphere of crisis associated with the Russo-Japanese War and the first Russian Revolution. It demonstrates that Edith Craig's production of Evreinov's play suggests that the philosophy of theatricalization of everyday life might enable modern subjects to overcome the fragmentation of modern society. Craig's use of the montage-like techniques of Evreinov's play prefigures cinematographic experiments of the 1920s and Marinetti's notion of synthetic theatre. Alexandra Smith is a Reader in Russian Studies at the University of Edinburgh and is the author of The Song of the Mockingbird: Pushkin in the Works of Marina Tsvetaeva (1994) and Montaging Pushkin: Pushkin and Visions of Modernity in Russian Twentieth-Century Poetry (2006), as well as numerous articles on Russian literature and culture.</p

Childhood asthma psychomaintenance : a case study of medical noncompliance
No full textThis case study has the purpose of investigating the causal factors of childhood psychomaintenance (the perpetuation of chronic illness) . The subject of this case study is a black, asthmatic boy who participated in psychotherapy sessions aimed at discovering his own motivations for being medically noncompliant. Information for this case study was gathered from personal interviews, tape-recorded therapy sessions, medical records, educational records, and psychometric evaluations. The information that has been collected for this case study was presented under the following headings: (1) family structure and personal history, (2) medical data, (3) educational data, (4) psychometric data, and (5) psychological data. This data has been compiled and organized to outline the important characteristics of psychomaintenance. The author has discovered that three factors appear to be highly related to one another and are causative agents of psychomaintenance: family structure, secondary gains, and self-concept. These results were supported by findings in the existing literature. This thesis is also an exercise in interfacing psychology with medicine, with the goal of maximizing behavioral health care potentials. The conclusions are that psychomaintenance must then be evaluated on an individual basis for a useful assessment. This means that psychologists and physicians must share knowledge, and methods which cover the whole person for the benefit of that patient. Finally, then, the field of research and pragmatic implementation of knowledge within the sphere of psychomaintenance can be demonstrated through this case study as a possible example.by Craig Andrew ZacutoIncludes bibliographical references (pages 73-76
John Craig (1512?-1600): with special reference to his contribution to the upbuilding of the reformed Church of Scotland
No full text"Master" John Craig,whose long and honorable life all but spanned
the sixteenth century,was among the most versatile of the Scottish reformers. He was approaching early middle-age when he joined Knox in
Edinburgh,becoming his trusted colleague in the onerous ministry at the
High Kirk of St Giles. Prior to throwing in his lot with his country's religious reformers,Craig,the scion of gentry originally hailing
from Buchan.had been educated at the University of St Andrews,attaching
himself some four years after graduation to a House of the Dominican
friars. Proceeding to Italy,he at length rose to a high position of
trust and responsibility in the Dominican priory within the University
city of Bologna. Around the year he broke with the Papacy,in consequence of which he narrowly escaped being burnt at the stake as a
heretic.Craig possessed choice gifts of mind and heart,and these being at
once recognised by Knox and others,he quickly gained an ascendant position in all of the important counsels and work of the Scottish Reformed
Church. From his busy pen came the first native Scottish Catechism and
also a Communion preparation manual,not to mention his lengthy Treatise
on Fasting( written in collaboration with Knox)and his labours shared with
Andrew Melville in having a chief hand in the compilation of the Second
Book of Discipline. But authorship was never really Craig's me'tier.
He was essentially a man of affairs,moving in high places with an easy
grace,and playing his part in the recurring political and religious crises of his generation with considerable and consistent determination and
skill-though not always with universal acceptance. He made the discipline and worship of the Reformed Church of Scotland the field of hip
main contribution to the new society,and of commissioners to sixteenth
century General Assemblies,he was,with few exceptions,the most indefatigable. Craig had the distinction of being thrice moderator of the
General Assembly,and that within the short period of fourteen years.
For upwards of forty years,he served with outstanding success on all
their principal committees,being in constant demand there because of his
expert knowledge of both civil and canon law. Forthright and unsparing in his denunciation of wrong-doing whether of princes or people,he
was nevertheless not by nature a vehement man;he could on occasion temper judgement with mercy,even with grace. His courage was beyond dispute, this being revealed at its most sterling in the laudable stand which
he took with regard to the marriage of <4ueen Mary and Bothwell. Although Craig was ever ready to fight on to the death on behalf of his
religious principles,he was at heart a man of peece.no one deploring
more than he the bitter and destructive civil war of 1370—72• Indeed,
his pacific stand during this unhappy time made his very unpopular with
not a few of his brethren,with the result that he was compelled to retire from the capital,serving as principal minister at Aberdeen for over
six years. Becoming second chaplain to King James in 1580,Craig,during the next year was instrumental in drawing up the national Covenant
or King's Confession,the most fiercely anti-Papist Confession ever written. Three years later,he was again accused of "leaning over-much to
the sword hand," in not contesting as Andrew Melville and others had
done,the right of the king to introduce diocesan bishops to the Reformed
Church of Scotland and also to dictate her general policy. Yet here,
as in 157-',Craig's conduct was guided throughout by motives of peace-he
strove at all costs to avert fratricidal strife,and he succeeded. And
the many Scottish ministers who followed his lead,were through his compromise with the royal authority,never forced to signify their obedience to bishops or to sign the king's bond. Yet,in his zeal for law
and order,Craig probably erred here,in yielding overmuch to royal
claims
Blog fingerprinting identifying anonymous posts written by an author of interest using word and character frequency analysis
No full textInternet blogs are an easily accessible means of global communications. Monitoring blogs for criminal and terrorist activity is a serious challenge, due to blogs' anonymous nature and the sheer volume of data. The intelligence community is often faced with more information than it can process. The need exists to develop methods for processing the massive amounts of data this media presents, without a significant increase in manpower. An automated tool capable of indentifying posts written by an individual, given a sample of his writing, would allow law enforcement and intelligence agencies to gather evidence that would otherwise be overlooked due to manpower and time constraints. This research focuses on identifying blog posts written by a particular author, when we do not have a model of every potential author. Previous research either builds a distinct model for every possible author, or limits itself to large documents. Neither approach is appropriate for processing blog posts. Blog posts tend to be short documents, and building a distinct model of each author is unreasonable if you are looking for one author among millions. We address this problem by combining sample posts by other authors to create a model of an "average author."Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Outstanding ThesisUS Marine Corps (USMC) author.http://archive.org/details/blogfingerprinti10945452
