ROBERT WILLIAM SETON-WATSON AND THE YUGOSLAV QUESTION
No full textRobert William Seton-Watson (1879—1951), the son of a Scottish business-man and landowner, studied History in the university of Oxford, and after some years of further study in Berlin, Paris and Florence, came to Vienna in the autumn of 1905. Not being obliged to earn his living, he proposed to devote himself to historical writing, and the subject which most attracted his interest was Austria-Hungary. He began his studies with great admiration for the Habsburg dynasty and for the Monarchy as a factor of European peace, as well as with a strong belief in Austro-British friendship. His respect for Emperor Franz Joseph was however limited by his sympathy, as a Scottish liberal, for the aspirations of the Hungarian liberals, whose struggle against Vienna was at its height at the time of his arrival.
In the summer of 1906 he made a journey through Hungary, and became more keenly aware of the problems of the non-Magyar nations. He had revealing conversations not only with Magyar politicians but also with leaders of the Roumanians and of the Vojvodina Serbs. In 1907 he made a second visit to Hungary, and met the leaders of the Slovaks, with whom he was first brought into contact by the help of the Austrian -socialist leader Karl Renner. His Book Racial Problems in Hungary, published in 1908, was violently attacked by Magyar polemists, but won him a good reputation in Austria as -well as in the English-speaking countries. In 1908 he visited Zagreb and Belgrade, in 1909 Dalmatia and Montenegro and in 1910 Bosnia and Hercegovina. The result of these journeys, and also of much study of books and the press, was his book The South Slav Question, published in 1911.
His attitude to the Monarchy was profoundly affected by his personal observation of the Zagreb Treason Trial and the Friedjung Trial, which convinced him that sinister forces were influencing Austrian foreign policy. He was aware of the growing desire of many of his South Slav friends to break away from the Monarchy. Nevertheless he continued to hope that the Monarchy would survive, partly because he believed that the best hope for the Slovaks and Roumanians vas to obtain Austrian support against Magyar oppression, and partly because he placed hopes in the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand as a reformer. However, the Archduke's assassination and the outbreak of the First World War put an end to these hopes, and from this time onwards Seton-Watson worked for the establishment of a Yugoslav state.
During the war he and his friends Wickham Steed, Sir Arthur Evans and Ronald Burrows worked closely with the Yugoslav Committee, especially with Supilo and Trumbić. He had close and cordial relations also with many leading figures of the Kingdom of Serbia, especially with Cvijić, Jovan Jovanović and Bogdan and Pavle Popović. However, his relations with Pašić deteriorated. During the summer and autumn of 1918 the influential review New Europe, edited by Seton-Watson, strongly supported the Yugoslav Committee against Pašić. Seton-Watson also, together with Steed, worked tirelessly, though unfortunately without success, for a just settlement between Yugoslavs and Italians. He opposed the Treaty of London, helped to organise the Rome Congress of April 1918, and vas one of the originators of the "Wilson Line" proposal at the Paris Peace Conference.
After 1918 Seton-Watson, now an university professor without any official position, nevertheless exercised some influence by his writings and by his personal friendships and contacts. He consistently worked for equality and friendship between the peoples of Yugoslavia. This brought him into frequent conflict with both Greater Serbian and Greater Croatian nationalists. During the last thirty years of his life he had many political disappointments as well as some successes, but he never lost his affection for the Yugoslavs or his confidence in their future
A Study of Seton Hall University and the Attributes of Organizational Adaptation Employed in Fashioning its Catholic Identity and Mission in the Post-Vatican II Era (1966-2006)
No full textThis thesis is the first fully developed and published study of Seton Hall University. It specifically examines the organizational structures of Seton Hall University over a forty year period in light of the tumultuous changes in the Catholic Church and Catholic academia post-Vatican 11. Of particular importance is change that influenced the Catholic identity and mission of the university. The author examines the central problems arising from the changes influenced by the actions of the Vatican Council as well as the concerns expressed by Catholic academic, namely, academic freedom and the issues of higher education governance. These two factors spearheaded the eventual changes in the identity and mission of Catholic higher education forever. The study identifies three distinct time periods in which the university experienced significant life cycle transitions during the forty year study period. Within each life cycle, the author further explores the institutional strengths, strategic choices and symbolic actions of the university. These views of Seton Hall University are modeled using the conceptual framework of change described by organizational adaptation expert Kim Cameron in 1984. Extensive archival research clearly validates the processes of Organization Adaptation described by Cameron as being evident throughout this forty year study period. Likewise, Seton Hall\u27s transformation from a small, commuter diocesan-run university in 1966 to a national Catholic university committed to the advancement of Catholic culture and thought in 2006 representing the next generation of servant leaders for the Church and society

Posts for Crane House or Crane Lodge by Ernest Thompson Seton
No full textThe drawing entitled “Posts for Crane House or Crane Lodge” was sketched by Canadian-American writer, artist and naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton. As an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, he was largely responsible for the American Indian influence in the Boy Scouts of America that offered young people knowledge of an outdoor life based on Native American Indian customs, legends and beliefs. Seton was Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from 1910 to 1915. The sketch is from a group of sketches done for Edgar Munroe Robinson, his friend and colleague, for use in the construction and design of the “Pueblo of the Seven Fires”, a permanent camp structure completed in 1933 on the Springfield College East Campus. The East Campus is a sixty acre wooded grove on the shores of Lake Massasoit in Springfield, Massachusetts.For biographical information on Edgar M.

Knotless seton for perianal fistulas: feasibility and effect on perianal disease activity
No full textPatients with perianal fistulas are frequently treated by a knotted seton which is well-known for causing complaints. We aimed to assess the feasibility of the knotless SuperSeton and advantages with respect to perianal disease activity. In a prospective cohort study, we included all consecutive adult patients with a knotted seton in situ or a perianal fistula requiring new seton drainage. Primary endpoint was seton feasibility (maintenance of the connection for minimally three months). Secondary endpoints included improvement of the Perianal Disease Activity Index (PDAI), complications and re-interventions within three months of follow-up. PDAI scores of patients with a knotted seton were crossover compared to PDAI scores after knotless seton replacement. Sixty patients (42% male, mean age 42 (SD 13.15), 41 with Crohn’s disease) were included between August 2016 and April 2018. Of 79 knotless setons, 69 (87.3%) stayed connected for ≥ 3 months. Overall, the knotless seton significantly decreased discharge (P = 0.001), pain (P < 0.001) and induration (P < 0.001) measured by the PDAI when compared to baseline. In patients with a knotted seton, replacement by the knotless seton significantly decreased discharge (P = 0.005) and pain (P < 0.001) measured by the PDAI. Furthermore, 71% of patients reported fewer cleaning problems compared to the knotted seton. Ten patients developed a perianal abscess, and five patients required a re-intervention. This study supports the feasibility of the knotless seton with promising short-term results. The knotless seton might be preferred over the knotted seton in terms of perianal disease activity.Correction DOI 10.1038/s441598-021-88353-xMedical Instruments & Bio-Inspired Technolog
