The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion

"The Necromancer of the Black Forest": a truly "horrid novel"
No full text"The Necromancer, or A Tale of the Black Forest" is one of seven 'horrid novels' mentioned in Jane Austen's Gothic satire "Northanger Abbey". The Necromancer is one of the more well-known of these, as it has been reprinted at least five times since Austen was writing. This paper gives a history and summary of the novel and how the German original may have influenced other writers of the time. It also considers the framing narrative of the story as well as the Gothic tropes that the author uses looking at it in relation to Todorov's discussion of the Fantasti
Lifestyle-Related Risk Factors and Risk of Future Nursing Home Admission
No full textWhile risks of disease, hospitalization, and death attributable to lifestyle-related factors such as smoking, inactivity, and obesity have been well studied, their associations with nursing home admission are less well known. These risk factors are usually established by middle age, but nothing is known about how they relate to long-term risk of nursing home admission in this age group.
Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to analyze risk of nursing home admission over 2 decades of follow-up (1971-1975 to 1992) in a nationally representative, longitudinal survey of community-dwelling adults aged 45 to 74 years at baseline. Middle-aged (45-64 years at baseline) and elderly persons (aged 65-74 years at baseline) were analyzed separately: 230 (6.5%) of 3526 middle-aged respondents and 728 (24.7%) of 2936 elderly ones had 1 or more nursing home admissions. Baseline risk factors included smoking, inactivity, obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated total cholesterol level, and diabetes mellitus, which were defined according to national guidelines. All lifestyle-related factors, except total cholesterol level, were associated with higher risk of nursing home admission during follow-up in one or both age groups. Risk ratios were higher in middle-aged than in elderly persons. In those aged 45 to 64 years at baseline, diabetes more than tripled the risk of nursing home admission (relative risk, 3.25; 95% confidence interval, 2.04-5.19); smoking, inactivity, and elevated systolic blood pressure had relative risks of 1.56, 1.40, and 1.35, respectively. Obesity was a risk factor for those aged 65 to 74 years at baseline, but not for the middle-aged subjects. Persons with 2 lifestyle-related factors were at greatly increased risk, especially if 1 was diabetes. Lifestyle factors are important contributors to the long-term risk of nursing home admission. Modifying lifestyle, especially in middle age, may reduce the risk of admission.Peer reviewe
Effect of Different Extenders and Seminal Plasma on the Susceptibility of Equine Spermatozoa to Lipid Peroxidation After Single-Layer Centrifugation, Through Androcoll-E
No full texthis study was conducted in an attempt to see whether single-layer centrifugation (SLC) increases the susceptibility of stallion spermatozoa to lipid peroxidation (LPO), in different extenders after removing all seminal plasma (SP). The susceptibility of stallion spermatozoa to LPO was studied before and after SLC. Each ejaculate was split, and aliquots extended with one of the three different extenders: INRA 96, Kenneys, or Equipro, and stored for 24 hours at 5 degrees C (i). From the extended samples, an aliquot was kept as a control and the other was subjected to SLC through Androcoll-E. The selected spermatozoa were re-suspended in the appropriate extenders, without (ii) or with (iii) addition of 50% (v/v) pooled homologous SP for 24 hours at 5 degrees C. Using ferrous sulfate as pro-oxidant, the susceptibility for LPO was flow-cytometrically assessed using the probe Bodipy(581/591)-C(11). Sperm motility, monitored with a Qualisperm motility analyzer, increased after SLC treatment (P andlt; .001). No significant correlations were found between motility and induced LPO with ferrous sulfate. The SP and extenders, per se, did not have a significant protective effect against LPO, but the interaction between SP and Kenney increased the susceptibility to LPO. However, the selected spermatozoa through Androcoll-E and the subsequent dilution in INRA had a significant protective effect against LPO (P andlt; .05), especially when the oxidative insults were higher (80 mu M).Original Publication: Cristina Ortega-Ferrusola, Anders Johannisson, Fernando J Pena Vega, Jose A Tapia, Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez, Ann M Dalin and Jane M Morrell, Effect of Different Extenders and Seminal Plasma on the Susceptibility of Equine Spermatozoa to Lipid Peroxidation After Single-Layer Centrifugation, Through Androcoll-E, 2011, Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, (31), 7, 411-416. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2011.01.010 Copyright: WB Saunders http://www.elsevier.com
PENGENDALIAN USAHA PERTAMBANGAN DI KABUPATEN BANDUNG BARAT
No full textABSTRACTThe extraction of mining minerals causes environmental damage carried out in protected areas, and the number of permits for these areas is increasing every year. In addition, there are still many illegal mines that are still operating. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze how to control how the mining business control in West Bandung Regency is implemented. The author conducts an analysis using the control theory of Gareth R. Jones and Jennifer M. George, who suggest that there are four control measures, namely Establish the standards of performance, goals, or targets against which performance is to be evaluated, Measure actual performance, Compare actual performance against chosen standards of performance, Evaluate the result and initiate corrective action if the standards are not being achieved. The research method used is a research method with a qualitative approach, and data collection techniques are carried out using observation, interviews and documents. And to validate the author's data using source triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the control of the mining business in the West Bandung Regency has not run effectively and efficiently. This can be seen from field inspections that have not been carried out on all mining companies; there are still violations contrary to existing standards. Then in taking action, if there are violations, there is no firm action such as giving fines to determining business actors. ABSTRAKTerjadinya kerusakan lingkungan yang disebabkan oleh pengambilan bahan galian tambang yang dilakukan di Kawasan lindung dan jumlah izin untuk Kawasan tersebut semakin bertambah setiap tahunnya. Selain itu masih banyaknya tambang ilegal yang masih saja beroperasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisa bagaimana pengendalian bagaimana pengendalian usaha pertambangan di Kabupaten Bandung barat dilaksanakan. Penulis melakukan analisis menggunakan teori pengendalian dari Gareth R. Jones dan Jennifer M. George, yang mengemukakan terdapat empat langkah pengendalian yaitu Establish the standars of performance, goals, or targets against which performance is to be evaluated, Measure actual performance, Compare actual performance against chosen standards of performance, Evaluate the result and initiate corrective action if the standars is not being achieved. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi, wawancara dan dokumen.

Training health visitors in cognitive behavioural and person-centred approaches for depression in postnatal women as part of a cluster randomised trial and economic evaluation in primary care: the PoNDER trial
No full textAim: This paper aims to describe the training preparation for health visitors who took part in the intervention arm of a cluster randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation of training for health visitors – the POstNatal Depression Economic evaluation and Randomised (the PoNDER) trial. A secondary aim is to make available, by electronic links, the training manuals developed for and used for the cognitive behavioural approach (CBA) and the person-centred approach (PCA) training for the health visitors. The paper is of relevance to health visitors, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, midwives, clinical psychologists, mental health nurses, community psychiatric nurses, counsellors, and service commissioners.
Background: The trial clinical outcomes have been published, indicating the pragmatic effectiveness of the package of training for health visitors to identify depressive symptoms and provide a psychologically informed intervention. The training was associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms at six months postnatally among intervention group women and some evidence of a benefit for the intervention group for some of the secondary outcomes at 18 months follow-up.
Methods: The two experimental interventions examined in the PoNDER trial built upon promising work on the potential for psychological interventions to help women recover from postnatal depression as an alternative to pharmaceutical interventions and to address the limitations of previous research in the area.
Findings: The package of health visitor training comprised the development of clinical skills in assessing postnatal women and identifying depressive symptoms, and the delivery of a CBA or a PCA for eligible women. This was the largest trial a health visitor intervention and of postnatal depression ever conducted. We are aware of no other rigorously performed trial that has published details of an extensively tested training programme for the benefit of health-care professionals and clients
