Photoadaptation of the skin during exposure to narrowband ultraviolet b radiation
No full textThe aim of this study is to determine the rate at which UVB radiation takes effect in order to produce an effective regimen for treatment. Psoriasis, a chronic, proliferative, inflammatory disease that is under genetic and environmental control is the major condition where UVB radiation successfully reduces symptoms. The treatment regimen for at present involves exposure doses that are increased alogarithmically and is based upon previous broadband knowledge. No established protocol for TLOl UVB phototherapy exists. Patients were randomly chosen from Dryburn Hospital Phototherapy Department. Baseline minimal erythemal measurements were calculated (MED(_0)) and random measurements were taken during the course using a single TLOl lamp. Data was collected over a period of 1 year and the effects of photoadaptation were determined. Factors considered include the period of time in between treatments, the number of treatments already attended and cumulative doses. MED ratios were calculated and analysed to produce a skin adaptation model. The majority of patients were phototested 2-6 times during the treatment course, which lasted 6 weeks (mean). Results indicated that missing a treatment session was insignificant to the rate of tolerance. The model for tolerance was calculated to be: T(_n) = 1 + 3 [1 - exp (= 0.03n) ] n = tolerance following n treatments A revised protocol was established and a clinical trial implemented. Protocol results indicated that the new regimen significantly reduced cases of burning and significantly reduced the cumulative doses of radiation. Revised protocol patients (yellow group) received total doses of 12.7 J/cm(^2) (median) and the original regimen provided a total of 16.9 J/cm(^2) (median). There was no significance in the time length of the treatment protocols. The revised protocol is therefore significantly more suitable because it reduces chances of excessive erythema discomfort and by reducing the radiation exposure doses the regimen also reduces the risk of skin malignancies

Lermontov in combat with Biblioteka dlia chteniia
No full textSusan Layton, Lermontov in combat with Bibliotéka dlia chteniia. Inspired by Bakhtin's analyses of double-voiced discourse, this article examines Lermontov's attacks on two pieces of low-brow orientalia published in Bibliotéka dlia chteniia in 1838 — Dmitrii Kropotkin's poem "Pal'ma" and the semi-anonymous prose tale "Beduinka." In the first case, Kropotkin was the target of a hidden polemic in Lermontov's "Tri pal'my," a verse which critics have long associated with Pushkin's "Podrazhaniia Koranu." In the second case, Lermontov subversively parodied "Beduinka" in "Bela," first published separately in 1839 and then incorporated into Geroi nashego vremeni. The analysis suggests that Lermontov's combat with Bibliotéka dlia chteniia was to some extent a criticism of his own sadistic streak (notably manifested in "Hadji-Abrek"). But most of all, the author was derisively exposing the Russian readership's taste for vulgar tales of oriental "savagery."Susan Layton, Lermontov à l'assaut de la Biblioteka dlja čtenija. Le présent article entreprend une analyse bakhtinienne des relations entre deux oeuvres de Lermontov et deux spécimens d'orientalisme de pacotille parus dans Biblioteka dlja čtenija en 1838 : le poème « Pal' ma » (Le palmier) de Dmitrij Kropotkin et le récit semi-anonyme « Beduinka » (La bédouine). La première fois, dans « Tri pal'my » (Les trois palmiers), poème célèbre que les critiques associèrent souvent à l'oeuvre de Puškin « Podražanie Koranu » (Imitation du Coran), Lermontov engageait une polémique déguisée avec Kropotkin. La seconde, dans le récit « Bela », publié séparément en 1839, puis intégré par la suite dans Geroj našego vremeni (Un héros de notre temps). Lermontov parodiait de façon subversive « Beduinka ». Ces deux attaques contre Bibliotéka dlja čtenija étaient dans une certaine mesure une auto-critique de l'orientalisme à sensation auquel Lermontov lui-même succomba (par exemple dans « Hadži-Abrek ») ; mais elles tournaient surtout en dérision le penchant des lecteurs russes de son temps pour les histoires d'un orientalisme de mauvais aloi.Layton Susan. Lermontov in combat with Biblioteka dlia chteniia. In: Cahiers du monde russe : Russie, Empire russe, Union soviétique, États indépendants, vol. 35, n°4, Octobre-décembre 1994. pp. 787-802
The Divisive Modern Russian Tourist Abroad: Representations of Self and Other in the Early Reform Era
No full textTaking methodological cues primarily from James Buzard's bookThe Beaten Track(1993), Susan Layton examines the socially divisive construction of the Russian tourist abroad in mainstream writings published in Russia between 1856 and 1863. It was during this early reform era that Russians first began publicly worrying aboutturistyandturizmas components of their national culture. The prism of divisiveness complicates a scholarly tendency to interpret the production of imperial Russian travel narratives as a nation-building enterprise from the eighteenth century onward. Although nationalist sentiments persisted in early reform public discourse concerning leisure travel, writers also fissured the nation along lines of social estate, gender, education, cultural competence, and moral values. Layton's comparative approach establishes parallels between snobbish nineteenth-century English and Russian views of ill-prepared “crowds” of tourists abroad but underlines Russian convictions that all Russian travel to western Europe should pursue educational and moral benefits.</jats:p

'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'
