Oral History Interview with Lloyd F. Hudson, August 12, 2003
No full textInterview with Lloyd F. Hudson, a Texas National Guard WWII veteran from Fort Worth, Texas. Hudson discusses his family background, joining the 124th Cavalry and transfer to the 112th, work as a cavalryman before activation, activation and the Louisiana Maneuvers, deployment to Townsville, Australia, amphibious assault on Arawe, New Britain, falling ill and returning to the States, the character of troops, equipment, rivalry with the Marine Corps, and acts of bravery. In appendix is a list of Hudson's fellow soldiers, the places he served, descriptions of the equipment mentioned in the interview, and the 112th's service chronicle

‘A Nothing Disease?’ An Interpretive Phenomenological exploration of the lived experience of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Full text linkThe purpose of this research study has been to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience of systemic lupus erythematosus from the perspective of the person who has the condition. A qualitative interpretive phenomenological approach was adopted influenced by Heidegger (1962) with emphasis on existential and interpretive dimensions over time. This comprehensive study involved a varied and diverse sample of thirty-two participants to allow differing experiences and multiple voices to be heard.
The main data collection method was multiple, unstructured interviews. The participants also used a variety of other methods of their own choice including journals, art, music and photography to express ‘what lupus means to you?’ An integrated approach was used combining both the media of the participant’s choice, with an in-depth unstructured interview discussing their media. These varied data collection methods allowed valuable insights into the participant’s everyday world. The study used Wertz’s (1983) method of analysis.
Three main findings were identified including, self-doubt and doubt, entrapment and coping and regaining resilience. Self-doubt and doubt explores the participant’s ongoing uncertainty about their symptoms, embodiment and condition and the continual doubts which they experience from others regarding the reality of their illness experience.
Entrapment explores the many constraints and barriers that the participants experience in everyday life including the disease itself which enforces loss of control, continual change and disruption, challenges to self identity and integrity, relationships with others and themselves in terms of existential possibilities and goals. There were also a multitude of constraints and barriers imposed on the participants from health services and organisations. All these experiences engender the feeling of a ‘nothing disease’, a feeling of losing themselves.
Coping and regaining resilience explored the wealth of coping strategies used within the participant’s everyday life and the ways they had been able to overcome adversity and find ways of moving forward regaining resilience.
The study has identified multiple things which negatively impact upon those living with lupus, as well as positively impacts on a person’s ability to live and cope in everyday life. This opens up possible ways for reducing these constraints and that would have a positive impact on the person living with SLE.
These constraints indicate some of the priorities health services and organisations should be focusing on to assist those with lupus to regain a more homelike being-in-the-world. The findings have real implications for the development of health care delivery which is person centred, designed around real needs and enables an improved quality of life. This study has been a further important step towards gaining an in-depth understanding of the everyday being-in-the-world of SLE
Pelletal lapilli in diatremes-Some inspiration from the old masters
No full textPelletal lapilli are typically the juvenile component of silica undersaturated, ultramafic and carbonatitic diatreme volcanics; they represent the interface between the erupting magma and the volatile component. In the Monticchio diatremes, Mt Vulture, Italy, unusual pelletal lapilli with shells of melilitite and carbonatite host abundant mantle and not crustal fragments, which indicate that gas exsolution and lapilli formation were dominantly at near mantle depths. The lapilli show a complex history of agglutination and abrasion coupled with consistent change from inner melilitite shells to outer carbonatite shells, which implies an intrinsic process of magma evolution. These features are not consistent with a singular, high-level phreatomagmatic event. The calcite-rich magmatism testifies that the main transporting gas was CO2 and not H2O; pyroclastics show no evidence of water-cooling. More commonly occurring pelletal lapilli lack compositional shells but are cemented by serpentine+diopside in kimberlite pipes, or calcite in melilitite diatremes and probably represent magmatic evolution at a shallower level than the Monticchio examples. Inferred ascent rates for ultramafic, xenolith-carrying magmas require a deep-seated gas-driven fracture-conduit; phreatomagmatic lift-off is too shallow. The poor vesicularity of pelletal lapilli indicates that the initial juvenile volatile content of the magma became concentrated as the fluidising medium

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
