Crime and subversion in the later fiction of Wilkie Collins
No full textAlthough some good work on Collins is now beginning to emerge, complex and central elements in his fiction require fuller exploration. More consideration is due to the development of Collins's thinking and fictional techniques in the lesser-known novels, since out of a total of thirty-four published works most have received scant attention from scholars. This is particularly true of the later fiction. It is to work of the later period (1870-1889) that I devote the fullest consideration, whilst giving due
attention to the novels of the 1860s which are usually regarded as Collins's major novels.
Collins perceived that established discourses on criminality, deviance, femininity and morality functioned as mechanisms with which the dominant masculine and middle-class hegemony attempted to confirm and maintain its power. His later fiction reveals the anxieties of masculine and middle-class narrator-figures. In his novels written in the 1860s Collins explored narrative and subnarrative. He developed the technique of using the accounts of various characters to challenge the perspective of the narrator-figure and created the persona of an omniscient narrator whose response to his creations reveals his own anxieties.
The novels of Collins's later period develop such techniques to explore masculine apprehension at the changes occurring in late-Victorian society in which women and the working-classes were gaining greater freedom and middle-class dominance was threatened. Although narrators overtly argue the validity of standard discourses, their views are subverted by a level of sub-textual meaning at which the inadequacy of the narrators and their ideologies is revealed. Sub-textual meaning in the novels reveals
tensions and anomalies within ideas of criminality, the Victorian ideal of womanhood, medical discourses and the idea of the gentleman and his counterpart, the knight errant figure. Collins's later fiction presents itself as an impressive attempt to explore the ideological and social tensions of rapidly changing late-Victorian England
AUDIOPROSTHETIC APPLICATIONS IN PATIENT WITH TREACHER-COLLINS SYNDROME
No full textreservedLa sindrome di Treacher-Collins o sindrome di Franceschetti è una malattia genetica congenita caratterizzata da gravi malformazioni cranio-facciali che vanno a compromettere anche l’organo dell’udito. Tipiche sono le alterazioni dell’orecchio esterno e medio con una conseguente ipoacusia trasmissiva di grado medio-grave. Fortunatamente, la ricerca scientifica ha permesso lo sviluppo di tecniche chirurgiche e di ausili uditivi all’avanguardia che consentono un approccio terapeutico ottimale per questo tipo di patologia, consentendo così nel tempo una gestione sempre più accurata ed efficace della sindrome.
Laddove le condizioni patologiche in cui l’approccio terapeutico mediante l’applicazione di apparecchi acustici per via aerea tradizionali non possa essere utilizzato o non apporti un beneficio uditivo soddisfacente, una soluzione ottimale è quella sfruttare la via ossea poiché garantisce una trasmissione del suono direttamente all’orecchio interno. Tra gli ausili uditivi via ossea, il sistema BAHA risulta particolarmente efficace nel trattamento dei pazienti affetti da sindrome di Treacher-Collins, in quanto permette di ripristinare una buona performance uditiva. Una nuova frontiera per la riabilitazione uditiva in questi pazienti sta nell’impiego delle protesi dell’orecchio medio, che hanno dato risultati audiologici soddisfacenti sebbene essi debbano essere ulteriormente confermati da studi aggiuntivi che comprendano un numero maggiore di pazienti.
Lo scopo di questa tesi è di fornire, attraverso una revisione sistematica selle letteratura, una visione completa degli attuali ausili uditivi utilizzabili per correggere l’ipoacusia congenita dei pazienti affetti dalla Sindrome di Treacher-Collins ponendo l’attenzione anche sui risultati con essi ottenibili

Submission Pauline Collins ANON-Z1E7-QWCC-N
No full textThis submission advocates in view of the 50 previous reports, with 750 recommendations since 2000 and the ad hoc, piecemeal changes making an already complex system more burdened after 40 years it is time to repeal the Defence Force Discipline Act 1982 and look at an entirely fresh approach. This is advocated in light of the High Court Private R v Cowen decision and the changing environment in which military members are comprised of an all-volunteer and defence civilian workforce operating in complex multi-force foreign conflicts and internal domestic domains both in security scenarios e.g. border force and community events such as the pandemic and climate episodes. Firsthand accounts from members to this author describe the lifelong stress and dysfunction caused because of the military discipline system
