The challenge of labour in China: strikes and the changing labour regime in global factories
No full textChina has become a global manufacturing centre with its `unlimited' supply of low cost and unorganised peasant workers. The potential of Chinese workers to change this condition has significant meaning for global labour politics. This study offers an ethnographic portrait and a sociological account of the transformation of labour relations and labour politics in China from 2004 to 2008 focusing on workers' strikes, community and organisation. It reveals how wages and working conditions are bargained, fought over, and determined in the global factories. Geographically this study concerns the city of Shenzhen, China's first Special Economic Zone (SEZ), where labour conflict is most prevalent. Historically, it is traced back to the late 1970s to explore how the pattern of labour conflict has changed over time. The author spent one year conducting participant observation based in a grass-roots labour non-governmental organisation (NGO) in an industrial zone from 2005 to 2006. A multi-case method is used to document workers' stories to strive for a higher wage and better working conditions and their relationships with management, NGOs, the trade union and the local state. The author suggests that benefiting from an expanding labour market, an escalating dynamic community, and the skilled and supervisory workers' network, workplace struggle has exerted significant challenges to the state authorities and the global capital. The capital responded to these challenges by work intensification, production rationalization, expansion and relocation. The local state reacted by better enforcement of the labour regulations and steady enhancement of the minimum wage rate, while the central state initiated a new round of labour legislation to better protect workers. The author refers to the changing labour regime in this stage as `contested despotism'. Its potential to give way to a new form of factory regime is dependent on the possibility of effective workplace trade unionism
The Evolution of the Fleet Submarine in the United States Navy
No full textThis thesis examines the evolution of the United States Navy fleet submarine from the T-class of 1916 through the Tench-class of 1943. The fleet submarine played a major role in the defeat of Japan in World War II by attacking enemy lines of communication and supply, vital to an island empire. The author reviews the trials and errors of submarine construction in the United States Navy. Each succeeding class of submarines is discussed in order to show the progress made, leading to the excellent weapon provided for submarine officers and men with which they destroyed Japanese merchantmen and warships. Japanese- American relations are traced from the time of Commodore Perry\u27s visit until the attack on Pearl Harbor in order to prove that to American naval officers Japan was considered a potential enemy in the post-World War I era. Submarine development in other navies of the world is included as a contrast to the work carried out by American naval designers and planners during the period

The Memphis Monomyth: The Real Rock and Roller, Cultural Obsession, and Archetypal Motifs within Historical Narrative (Special Issue: Echoes of Elvis --The Trajectory of a Global Cultural Icon)
No full text立木康介 訳時に, 歴史的過程は, 神話や伝承, そして叙事詩的ストーリーテリングに伝統的に見られる諸サイクルに流れ込む。ジョーゼフ・キャンベルがその先導的著作『千の顔をもつ英雄』のなかで英雄のサイクル--離別, イニシエーション, 帰還--を記述するとき, 明らかになるのは, イエズス・キリストやアーサー王, そして文学史全体にわたる何万もの, とはいわないまでも, 何百もの英雄たちの物語に合致するひとつのパターンである。これらの英雄たちの旅路は, 彼らの立身へと通じる数々の試練と闘いの単神話的セットにほかならない。エルヴィス・プレスリーの社会的上昇, 彼のライフスタイルのある意味で夢幻的な物語, 彼の早すぎる死, そして, 私たちが彼を記念すること, そうしたことすべてが組み合わさって, ジョーゼフ・キャンベルの英雄サイクル理論のパターンを用意する。つまり, 実在する人物であるエルヴィスは, 生前から, そして死後にも, 非実在的で変形力をもつアメリカ的神話になるのである。世間的人気とは比較的うつろいやすい現象であるのにたいし, エルヴィスのキャリアとその死後のキャリアに伴う反響は, 年々大きくなり, けっして衰えを見せない。エルヴィス・プレスリーの顔は, 人類史全体のなかで最も認知度の高い人間のイメージである可能性がきわめて高い。エルヴィスの人気の異例さは, エルヴィスの名声の「いかに」と「なぜ」, そして, 21世紀に入っても変わらぬ彼のイメージの増殖の秘密を, 私たちが吟味するよう促さずにはおかない。本稿はまたとくに, 死後のエルヴィスの歴史文献学とエルヴィス神話の進化を提示するものである。Sometimes historical processes feed into cycles traditionally seen in myth, lore, and epicstyle storytelling. When Joseph Campbell, in his seminal work Hero With a ThousandFaces, describes the cycle of the hero̶separation, initiation, and return̶Campbell is describing a pattern that fits the epic cycle of the stories of Jesus Christ, King Arthur, and hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of heroes throughout literary history. The journey of these heroes is the monomythic set of trials and battles that lead to the rise of these heroes. The ascent of Elvis Presley and the somewhat fantastic tales of his lifestyle, his untimely death, and our memorializing of him all combine to serve the pattern of Joseph Campbellʼs theory of the cycle of the hero. That is, Elvis, the real man, becomes in his lifetime and after his death, an unreal and transformative American myth. While celebrity is a relatively ephemeral phenomenon, Elvisʼs career and his post-mortem career carry a resonance which increase yearly and have never suffered decay. It is quite possible that Elvis Presleyʼs face is the most recognizable human image in the entire history of man. The unusual nature of Elvisʼs celebrity prompts us to examine the how and why of Elvisʼs fame and the proliferation of his image well into the 21st century. This paper will also specifically address the historiography of the post-modern Elvis and the evolution of the Elvis myth
Fixing New York's State Education Aid Dinosaur: A Proposal
No full textNew York State provides aid to local schools through a confusing maze of aid programs that are, according to many commentators, unfair to the neediest school districts, often defined as those with many students who are poor or otherwise "at risk." For example, New York City, which, by any measure, is one of the neediest districts, currently receives less aid per pupil than the average district in the state. On January 9, 2001, in the case of Campaign for Fiscal Equity vs. State of New York (719 N.Y.S2d 475, 150 Ed. Law Rep. 834), the New York State Supreme Court brought new salience to this issue. In a strongly worded opinion, Justice Leland DeGrasse ruled that the current educational aid system violates the state's constitutional requirement to provide a "sound basic education" and needs to be reformed. Among other things, Justice DeGrasse labeled the failure to account for the needs of at-risk students "one of the great failings of the State school financing system" and declared that "New York City does not receive State aid commensurate with the needs of its students." This policy brief proposes a new formula for distributing educational aid in New York State, a formula designed to direct aid to the districts that, through no fault of their own, are in the greatest need of assistance. High-need districts are those with high educational costs or low property wealth. This policy brief begins by explaining why the cost of education varies from one school district to the next. It then shows how variation in the cost of education across districts can be incorporated into a state education aid program that brings all districts up to some minimally adequate performance level. This approach is applied to New York State. Specifically, I propose a new education aid formula for Newe York State that would bring all the school districts up to an adequate performance defined with reference to the new Regents graduation standards. This policy brief also explores various ways to share the cost of this program between school districts and the state.
Functional connectivity discriminates epileptogenic states and predicts surgical outcome in children with drug resistant epilepsy
No full textNormal brain functioning emerges from a complex interplay among regions forming networks. In epilepsy, these networks are disrupted causing seizures. Highly connected nodes in these networks are epilepsy surgery targets. Here, we assess whether functional connectivity (FC) using intracranial electroencephalography can quantify brain regions epileptogenicity and predict surgical outcome in children with drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). We computed FC between electrodes on different states (i.e. interictal without spikes, interictal with spikes, pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal) and frequency bands. We then estimated the electrodes' nodal strength. We compared nodal strength between states, inside and outside resection for good- (n = 22, Engel I) and poor-outcome (n = 9, Engel II¿IV) patients, respectively, and tested their utility to predict the epileptogenic zone and outcome. We observed a hierarchical epileptogenic organization among states for nodal strength: lower FC during interictal and pre-ictal states followed by higher FC during ictal and post-ictal states (p < 0.05). We further observed higher FC inside resection (p < 0.05) for good-outcome patients on different states and bands, and no differences for poor-outcome patients. Resection of nodes with high FC was predictive of outcome (positive and negative predictive values: 47¿100%). Our findings suggest that FC can discriminate epileptogenic states and predict outcome in patients with DRE. ¿ 2023, The Author(s)
Implementing a patient-initiated review system for people with rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective, comparative service evaluation
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Wiley via the DOI in this record.Background The management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) usually entails regular hospital reviews with a specialist often when the patient is well rather than during a period of exacerbation. An alternative approach where patients initiate appointments when they need them can improve patient satisfaction and resource use whilst being safe. This service evaluation reports a system wide implementation of a patient-initiated review appointment system called Direct Access (DA) for people with RA. The aim was to establish the impact on patient satisfaction of the new system versus usual care as well as evaluate the implementation processes. Method As all patients could not start on the new system at once, in order to manage the implementation, patients were randomly allocated to DA or to usual care. Instead of regular follow-up appointments, DA comprised an education session and access to a nurse-led telephone advice line where appointments could be accessed within two weeks. Usual care comprised routine follow-ups with the specialist. Data were collected on patient satisfaction, service use and outcomes of any contact to the advice line. Results Three hundred and eleven patients with RA were assessed as being suitable for DA. In terms of patient satisfaction, between-group differences were found in favour of DA for accessibility and convenience, ease of contacting the nurse and overall satisfaction with the service. Self-reported visits to the GP were also significantly lower. DA resulted in a greater number of telephone contacts (incidence rate ratio = 1.69; 95% CI 1.07 to 2.68). Hospital costs of the two different service models were similar. Mean waiting time for an appointment was 10.8 days Conclusion This service evaluation found that DA could be implemented and demonstrated patient benefit in a real world setting. Further research establishing the broader cost-consequences across the whole patient pathway would add to our findings
