Reading, publishing and the formation of literary taste in England, 1880-1914
No full textBetween 1880 and 1914, England saw the emergence of an unprecedented range of new literary forms from Modernism to the popular thriller. Not coincidentally, this period also marked the first overt references to an art/market divide through which books took on new significance as markers of taste and class. Though this division has received considerable attention relative to the narrative structures of the period's texts, little attention has been paid to the institutions and ideologies that largely determined a text's accessibility and circulated format and thus its mode of address to specific readerships. Hammond addresses this gap in scholarship, asking the following key questions: How did publishing and distribution practices influence reader choice? Who decided whether or not a book was a 'classic'? In a patriarchal, class-bound literary field, how were the symbolic positions of 'author' and 'reader' affected by the increasing numbers of women who not only bought and borrowed, but also wrote novels?Using hitherto unexamined archive material and focussing in detail on the working practices of publishers and distributors such as Oxford University Press and W.H. Smith and Sons, Hammond combines the methodologies of sociology, literary studies and book history to make an original and important contribution to our understanding of the cultural dynamics and rhetorics of the fin-de-siècle literary field in England
The role of genetic factors in breast cancer aetiology
No full textBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is also the leading cause of cancermortality in women. There are several known risk factors for breast cancer including geneticfactors which account for at least 25% of the incidence of breast cancer, although only a smallproportion of this is a result of mutations in known high penetrance susceptibility genes. Themajority of genetic risk is now thought to be due to common genetic variants, for example singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We investigated whether SNPs in candidate genes, with abiological reason for being of interest to study in relation to breast cancer, were correlated withthe development of tumours with a certain phenotype, such as grade, lymph node involvement,oestrogen receptor status and the presence of distant metastases.We genotyped 206 SNPs across 30 candidate genes in 1001 patients. Association was performedusing Cochran-Armitage trend test and 2-by-3 tables of disease by genotype.We replicated observations from previous studies such as the association of SNPs in FGFR2,TNRC9 and ATM with oestrogen receptor status and identified novel associations of SNPs in theoestrogen receptor gene and matrix metalloproteinase-9 gene (MMP-9) with grade and presenceof distant metastasis respectively.The function of two promoter SNPs in MMP-9 were further investigated using luciferase reportergene assays. The C allele of rs3918242 had a 1.5 fold increase in MMP-9 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells and the A allele of rs3918241 showed a slight increase in MMP-9 expression in MCF-7and NIH-3T3 cell lines although not significant.The novel results identified need to be replicated for validation but this study provides evidencethat common genetic variants play a role in predisposing to certain tumour types
Implementation of a 'Living with Voices' Group in a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit
No full textThis article presents the initial implementation and adaptation of a group for people who hear voices in a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) using a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach. It highlights the lack of evidence-based psychosocial group interventions designed specifically for the PICU environment and challenges the traditional medical-model of PICU care. It also highlights national policy and guidelines advocating the implementation of CBT approaches for severe and enduring mental illness. An overview of the group sessions is described, with particular focus on adaptations of the group content and delivery for PICU populations. The authors note that twenty three clients have attended the PICU voices groups to date, demonstrating the feasibility of voices groups in PICU environments. Further work is currently being undertaken including formal evaluations of group outcomes using standardised measures
The big show: British cinema culture in the Great War (1914-1918)
No full textThe Big Show looks at the role played by cinema in British cultural life during World War One. In writing the definitive account of film exhibition and reception in Britain in the years 1914 to 1918, Michael Hammond shows how the British film industry and British audiences responded to the traumatic effects of the Great War. The author contends that the War's significant effect was to expedite the cultural acceptance of cinema into the fabric of British social life. As a result, by 1918, cinema had emerged as the predominant leisure form in British social life. Through a consideration of the films, the audience, the industry and the various regulating and censoring bodies, the book explores the impact of the war on the newly established cinema culture. It also studies the contribution of the new medium to the public's perception of the war.* Fills an important gap in the history of Hollywood outside the USA * Uses the cinema culture of Southampton, an important gateway port to the battlefields of Europe, to present a series of case studies* A study of early British cinema, for which the Exeter list has a strong reputation Social and cultural history of Britain in WW
