B829: Addison—Its Persistencies and Changes
No full textIn 1947, at the request of the Maine Agricultural Extension Service, personnel of the USDA and Extension Service studied three Maine towns: Addison, in Washington County; Easton, in Aroostook County; and Turner, in Androscoggin County. The purpose of the studies was to determine the factors related to participation in Extension and other community-based activities; results of the research were summarized in Hay et al. (1949). The 1986-89 study of Addison analyzed in this publication is a component of a research project that focuses also on Easton and Turner and Landaff, New Hampshire. The current study is not, per se, a duplication of the earlier research. The two projects employed different research methodologies. In the 1986-1989 series of studies, the author relied on key informants to obtain data related to the structure and functioning of key institutions in the four communities and focused on social change in each of the communities. To obtain the necessary data for each of the major social institutions—economics, education, family, government, religion, and the process of social stratification—the author interviewed residents of the town and personnel of relevant institutions and agencies. During the three-year observation and interviewing process, the author interviewed more than 50 Addison residents. All formal interviews were tape recorded and later transcribed. The author also used town reports, a published history, local documents, and newspapers.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_bulletin/1026/thumbnail.jp
私観JOSEPH ADDISON
No full textApart from our evaluation of him as the father of modern English prose, which is more from a linguistic point of view, few people pay attention nowadays to the literature of Joseph Addison, the foremost of Queen Anne essayists and one of the two outstanding contributors to such essay periodicals as the Tatler and Spectator. Although general interest in his literature has waned recently, I believe that, in specific phases of Addison\u27s prose literature at least, there remain some timeless merits. Also his unmistakable influence on men of letters was felt for over 100 years after his death at the age of 47 in 1719. To attest to these two points is the principal purpose of this thesis. To assist those readers who may be unfamiliar with this Augustan author, I have roughly sketched his life in Chapter I of my treatise. Included in Chapter II is a rather critical view by our Soseki Natsume, who takes Addison to task for paying less attention to the substance of his writing than the style, though, as a matter of fact, the word \u27style\u27 is not to be seen in his commentary. These excerpts from Natsume, I hope, will also help readers figure out what Addison\u27s literature is like. My opinions, which tend to differ from Natsume\u27s, complete this section. In the final chapter (III), I have tried to draw a few elements of Addison\u27s true genius-his unique self-effacing style, his sense of beauty, and his exquisite fictional devices-that came, as a united whole, to pave the way for many generations to come, not necessarily for the development of the traditional genre of the essay, but rather for the promotion and establishment of the new field of modern prose fiction

A systematic review of evidence for the appropriateness of neonatal screening programmes for inborn errors of metabolism
No full textBackground: developments in screening technology and increased understanding of the natural history and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) have produced pressure to extend neonatal screening programmes. This review aims to assess the evidence for the appropriateness of such programmes. Methods: a formal systematic literature review was conducted. Exclusion and inclusion criteria were used to select papers for critical appraisal by pairs of reviewers. Standard criteria were used to assess the appropriateness of neonatal screening for various IEMs. Site visits were conducted to assess new technologies for newborn screening. Results: a total of 1866 papers were identified and 407 systematically selected for full critical appraisal. Published evidence confirmed that universal newborn screening for phenylketonuria (PKU) meets all of the screening criteria and justifies the expense and infrastructure necessary for the collection and testing of neonatal blood spots. There was insufficient evidence in the literature to assess the cost-effectiveness of screening for any other IEMs. There was reasonable evidence to support inclusion in extended neonatal screening of four other IEMs: biotinidase deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), medium-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency and glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1). Conclusions: large-scale trials of screening for biotinidase, CAH, MCAD and GA1 should be conducted, with careful evaluation to establish their clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in practice. Screening for the latter two disorders would be dependent upon the use of tandem mass spectrometry (tandem MS). The application of tandem MS to newborn screening requires further evaluation. The extension of neonatal screening programmes to other IEMs is not currently justifie
Secondary analysis of economic data: a review of cost-benefit studies of neonatal screening for phenylketonuria
No full textStudy objective: to estimate the net financial benefit of neonatal screening for phenylketonuria (PKU): by a simple pooling of cost data from the literature; and by a more complex modelling approach. Design: a systematic literature review was conducted to identify papers containing data on the monetary costs and benefits of neonatal screening for PKU. The methodological quality of the studies was appraised, and data were extracted on resource use and expenditure. Monetary data were converted to common currency units, and standardised to UK incidence rates. Net benefits were calculated for median, best case and worst case scenarios, and the effect of excluding poor quality studies and data was tested. The net benefit was also estimated from a model based on data from the literature and assumptions appropriate for the current UK situation. Extensive sensitivity analysis was conducted.Main results: the direct net benefit of screening based on the median costs and benefits from the 13 studies identified was 143,400 Pounds per case detected and treated (39,000 Pounds and 241,800 Pounds for worst case and best case scenarios respectively). The direct net benefit obtained by the modelling approach was lower at 93,400 Pounds per case detected and treated. Screening remained cost saving under sensitivity analysis, except with low residential care costs (less than 12,300 Pounds per annum), or very low incidence rates (less than 1 in 27,000). Conclusions: the economic literature on PKU screening is of variable quality. The two methods of secondary analysis lead to the same conclusion: that neonatal PKU screening is worthwhile in financial terms alone in the UK, and that it justifies the infrastructure for collecting and testing neonatal blood samples. This result cannot necessarily be extrapolated to other countrie
