Visual signals and children's communication: negative effects on task outcome
No full textPrevious research has found that young children fail to adapt to audio-only interaction (e.g. Doherty-Sneddon & Kent, 1996), and perform difficult communication tasks better face-to-face. In this new study, children aged 6- and 10 year-olds were compared in face-to-face and audio-only interaction. A problem-solving communication task involving description of abstract stimuli was employed. When describing the abstract stimuli both groups of children showed evidence of face-to-face interference rather than facilitation. It is concluded that, contrary to previous research, for some communication tasks access to visual signals (such as facial expression and eye gaze) may hinder rather than help children’s communication
Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
Kombinationstherapie des Sneddon-Syndroms zur Senkung der Inzidenz zerebrovaskulärer Komplikationen
No full textHintergrund: Das Sneddon-Syndrom wird als okkludierende Vaskulopathie ver-
standen, die an der Haut durch eine generalisierte Livedo racemosa und im
zentralen Nervensystem durch transitorische ischämische Attacken, Schlagan-
fälle und kognitive oder motorische Defizite klinisch evident wird. Zur Therapie
werden Thrombozytenaggregationshemmer oder Antikoagulanzien empfohlen.
Aufgrund der begrenzten therapeutischen Wirksamkeit und der daraus resul-
tierenden schwerwiegenden Komplikationen schlagen wir eine Kombinations-
therapie mit zusätzlichen Infusionszyklen von Alprostadil und Captopril vor und
berichten über erste Langzeitergebnisse.
Patienten und Methodik: Alle Patienten unserer Klinik mit primärem Sneddon-
Syndrom unter Kombinationstherapie wurden im Zeitraum von 1995 bis 2020
in eine systematische retrospektive Analyse einbezogen. Die Auswertung des
therapeutischen Outcomes erfolgte mittels deskriptiver Statistik im Vergleich zu
historischen Kontrollgruppen, die eine Monotherapie erhalten hatten. Zudem
haben wir die Ereignisrate von Komplikationen bei Unterbrechung der Kombina-
tionstherapie analysiert.
Ergebnisse: Während des Beobachtungszeitraums der Kombinationstherapie
von 99,7 Patientenjahren ereignete sich keine transitorische ischämische Attacke
und die Schlaganfallrate sank auf 0,02 pro Patientenjahr. Im Vergleich lagen bei
den historischen Kontrollen die Raten von transitorischen ischämischen Attacken
und Schlaganfällen zwischen 0,08 und 0,035 pro Patientenjahr. Nach Unter-
brechung der Alprostadil-Therapie traten bei drei Patientinnen acht Ereignisse
auf.
Schlussfolgerungen: Die Kombinationstherapie reduziert langfristig die Inzidenz
von ischämischen Ereignissen bei Patienten mit primärem Sneddon-Syndrom

Combination therapy for Sneddon syndrome to reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular complications
No full textBackground: Sneddon syndrome is an occlusive vasculopathy that presents clini-
cally with generalized livedo racemosa on the skin and transient ischemic attacks,
strokes, and cognitive or motor deficits in the central nervous system. Antiplatelet
or anticoagulant therapy is recommended. Due to the limited therapeutic efficacy
and the resulting serious complications, we propose combination therapy with
additional infusion cycles of alprostadil and captopril and report initial long-term
results.
Patients and methods: We performed a systematic retrospective analysis of all
patients with primary Sneddon syndrome who received combination therapy in
our clinic between 1995 and 2020. Therapeutic outcomes were evaluated using
descriptive statistics compared to historical controls receiving monotherapy. We
also analyzed the event rate of complications when combination therapy was
discontinued.
Results: During the 99.7 patient-years of follow-up, there were no transient
ischemic attacks and the stroke rate dropped to 0.02 per patient-year. In compar-
ison, the rates of transient ischemic attacks and strokes in the historical controls
ranged from 0.08 to 0.035 per patient-year. After discontinuation of alprostadil
therapy, eight events occurred in three patients.
Conclusions: Combination therapy reduces the long-term incidence of ischemic
events in patients with primary Sneddon syndrome
