Entre universalisme et particularisme: la résistance du code alimentaire dans L’ingratitude de Ying Chen et Mon cœur à l’étroit de Marie NDiaye
Authors: Christine Ott
Published: November 2021

Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist, die Funktionalisierung des alimentären Codes in Marie NDiayes Mon cœur à l’étroit und Ying Chens L’ingratitude in ihrer Vielschichtigkeit aufzuzeigen. Einer klassischen Definition des Realismus zufolge galt der alimentäre Code als einer jener Codes, die effektvoll im Sinne eines „effet de réel“ wirken, indem sie Alltagsleben und material culture evozieren (Auerbach 1982: 458). Gerade in transkulturellen Erzählungen der Gegenwart erweisen sich Speisen und Esssitten als effektvolle Identitäts-Marker, die das Partikulare einer spezifischen Kultur – in der Regel einer ‚fremden‘, ‚exotischen‘ Kultur vor dem Hintergrund eines Gastlandes des globalen Westens – zum Ausdruck bringen. Kulturelle Konflikte – zwischen einem ‚westlichen‘ und einem ‚östlichen‘ Lebensstil in L’ingratitude; zwischen weitaus weniger klar definierten, doch auf soziokulturelle und nationale Identitäten verweisenden Lebensstilen in Mon cœur à l’étroit – scheinen sich auch in den beiden vorliegenden Werken in Speisen und Mahlzeiten geradezu zu reifizieren. Bei näherer Betrachtung erweist sich die alimentäre Codierung jedoch als vielschichtig und widersprüchlich, greift sie doch einerseits auf partikulare Identitätsmarker, andererseits auf archetypische Symbolisierungen zurück. Im Fall von Ying Chens Roman scheint hier ein Konflikt zwischen einem Bestreben nach Vermittlung des ‚Anderen‘ und der stereotypisierenden Anpassung an okzidentale Erzählmuster auf. Im Fall Marie NDiayes verhindert die Überdeterminiertheit der Nahrungsmotive eine psychoanalytische oder postkoloniale Lesart nach herkömmlichen Deutungsmustern. Als fruchtbarer erweist sich eine intersektionale Lektüre. Dennoch widerstrebt NDiayes Erzähltechnik der Rückführung auf eine kohärente Lesart. Was von dieser enigmatischen Autorposture zu halten ist, ist in der NDiaye-Forschung höchst umstritten. Von radikalen Vertretern der Critical Race Studies wird der Autorin colour-blindness vorgeworfen. Ich möchte für eine differenzierte Lesart plädieren, die die Problematik des universalistischen Anspruchs anerkennt, zugleich aber auch den Viktimismus der minority studies und das Beharren auf Partikularität problematisiert.

"Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Among Spinal Cord Injury Patients: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study"
Authors: Khan Anwar , Ullah Faseeh , Abid Omer , Awan Khizra Hafeez
Published: November 2021

"Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops after exposure to or
witnessing traumatic events. PTSD is very common among the Spinal Cord
Injury (SCI) patients. PTSD can be successfully treated with the Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, CBT is mostly used in the western
countries, so its efficacy in the eastern culture is still not fully known.
Keeping this in view, the current study has determined the efficacy of CBT
in the treatment of PTSD among the SCI patients in Pakistan. Using a
Randomized Controlled Pilot Study design, data were collected through the
Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 from thirty patients
admitted to the Paraplegic Center. Trauma-focused CBT(TF-CBT) protocol
was applied through fourteen sessions. Data were analyzed by descriptive
and multivariate statistics. Findings show that the level of PTSD symptoms
gradually decreased from high at baseline (CAPS-5 Mean Scores μ= 3.6) to
low during follow-up stage (CAPS-5 Mean Scores μ= 0.89). Results obtained
from the present study on the efficacy of CBT are in concurrence with the
research findings in other countries. This study supports the efficiency CBT
intervention among Pakistani patients who had developed PTSD symptoms
after suffering from SCI. Therefore, CBT can be widely used in the
management of PTSD in Pakistan."
Genetic background of sesquiterpene lactones biosynthesis in Asteraceae. A review
Authors: Sozoniuk Magdalena
Published: November 2021

Asteraceae family is a rich source of many sesquiterpene lactones (STLs). These secondary metabolites exhibit multidirectional activity including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial, just to name a few. Promising approach of metabolic engineering offers a way of increasing the production of STLs by reconstruction  of  their  biosynthetic  pathway  in  a  heterologous system. Moreover, their production in host plants might be increased through overexpression of biosynthetic genes and/or transcription factors (TFs) positively regulating the pathway. Either of the strategies requires extensive knowledge on the genetic background of STLs biosynthesis pathway. This review summarizes molecular investigations concerning biosynthesis of these medicinally essential metabolites.

CIE 247:2021 Guide for the Gonioradiometric Measurement of Upper Air Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation Luminaires
Authors:   CIE TC 6-52
Published: November 2021

Upper air ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), in combination with appropriate room ventilation, is increasingly being used as a method to reduce transmission of airborne infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. UVGI luminaires appropriate for upper room air disinfection are installed above eye level and designed to limit vertical emission spread in order to prevent exposure to occupants as much as possible. Accurate UVGI luminaire emission profiles are needed to calculate the dose required for disinfection of airborne microorganisms. A radiometric measurement protocol for UVGI luminaires is a basis for this method of measurement. This guide is intended to promote uniformity and accuracy in the measurement of UVGI luminaires. Data will be exportable to any standard electronic data file formats for use in lighting software programs adapted for UVGI application. Keywords: UV, UVR, UV radiation, upper air, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, UVGI, air disinfection, radiometry

Damage control surgery principles allow delayed management of traumatic lesions and early metabolic resuscitation by performing abbreviated procedures and prompt resuscitation maneuvers in severely injured trauma patients. However, the initial physiological response to trauma and surgery, along with the hemostatic resuscitation efforts, causes important side effects on intracavitary organs such as tissue edema, increased cavity pressure, and hemodynamic collapse. Consequently, different techniques have been developed over the years for a delayed cavity closure. Nonetheless, the optimal management of abdominal and thoracic surgical closure remains controversial. This article aims to describe the indications and surgical techniques for delayed abdominal or thoracic closure following damage control surgery in severely injured trauma patients, based on the experience obtained by the Trauma and Emergency Surgery Group (CTE) of Cali, Colombia. We recommend negative pressure dressing as the gold standard technique for delayed cavity closure, associated with higher wall closure success rates and lower complication and mortality rates.
Damage control approach to refractory neurogenic shock: a new proposal to a well-established algorithm
Authors: Parra Michael W , Ordoñez Carlos Alberto , Mejia David , Caicedo Yaset , Lobato Javier Mauricio , Castro Oscar Javier , Uribe Juan Alfonso , Velasquez Fernando
Published: November 2021

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is commonly used as an adjunct to resuscitation and bridge to definitive control of non-compressible torso hemorrhage in patients with hemorrhagic shock. It has also been performed for patients with neurogenic shock to support the central aortic pressure necessary for cerebral, coronary and spinal cord perfusion. Although volume replacement and vasopressors are the cornerstones of the management of neurogenic shock, we believe that a REBOA can be used as an adjunct in carefully selected cases to prevent prolonged hypotension and the risk of further anoxic spinal cord injury. This manuscript aims to propose a new damage control algorithmic approach to refractory neurogenic shock that includes the use of a REBOA in Zone 3. There are still unanswered questions on spinal cord perfusion and functional outcomes using a REBOA in Zone 3 in trauma patients with refractory neurogenic shock. However, we believe that its use in these case scenarios can be beneficial to the overall outcome of these patients.

Damage control has well-defined steps. However, there are still controversies regarding whom, when, and how re-interventions should be performed. This article summarizes the Trauma and Emergency Surgery Group (CTE) Cali-Colombia recommendations about the specific situations concerning second interventions of patients undergoing damage control surgery. We suggest packing as the preferred bleeding control strategy, followed by unpacking within the next 48-72 hours. In addition, a deferred anastomosis is recommended for correction of intestinal lesions, and patients treated with vascular shunts should be re-intervened within 24 hours for definitive management. Furthermore, abdominal or thoracic wall closure should be attempted within eight days. These strategies aim to decrease complications, morbidity, and mortality.

Esophageal trauma is a rare but life-threatening event associated with high morbidity and mortality. An inadvertent esophageal perforation can rapidly contaminate the neck, mediastinum, pleural space, or abdominal cavity, resulting in sepsis or septic shock. Higher complications and mortality rates are commonly associated with adjacent organ injuries and/or delays in diagnosis or definitive management. This article aims to delineate the experience obtained by the Trauma and Emergency Surgery Group (CTE) of Cali, Colombia, on the surgical management of esophageal trauma following damage control principles. Esophageal injuries should always be suspected in thoracoabdominal or cervical trauma when the trajectory or mechanism suggests so. Hemodynamically stable patients should be radiologically evaluated before a surgical correction, ideally with computed tomography of the neck, chest, and abdomen. While hemodynamically unstable patients should be immediately transferred to the operating room for direct surgical control. A primary repair is the surgical management of choice in all esophageal injuries, along with endoscopic nasogastric tube placement and immediate postoperative care in the intensive care unit. We propose an easy-to-follow surgical management algorithm that sticks to the philosophy of "Less is Better" by avoiding esophagostomas.
Nuevas pistas para comprender la gastrosquisis. Embriología, patogénesis y epidemiología
Authors: Chuaire-Noack Lilian
Published: November 2021

La gastrosquisis es un defecto estructural congénito de la pared abdominal, localizado con mayor frecuencia a la derecha del ombligo, a través del cual sobresalen las vísceras abdominales. Durante mucho tiempo, sus aspectos evolutivos, etiológicos y epidemiológicos han sido un tema candente de controversia, aunque hallazgos recientes sugieren la participación de alteraciones genéticas, cromosómicas, y la existencia de una vía patogénica inductora de estrés, en la que factores de riesgo como los demográficos y ambientales pueden converger.
Con el objetivo de ampliar la frontera del conocimiento sobre una malformación que ha mostrado una creciente prevalencia global, hemos efectuado una revisión que incluye información,  del desarrollo embrionario de la pared corporal ventral, el intestino primitivo,  el complejo anillo-cordón umbilical, y de las teorías acerca de su origen, patogénesis e información epidemiológica reciente.

Published: November 2021

Background: hip fracture is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. Geriatric fracture programs promise to improve the quality of care, health outcomes and reduce costs.
Objective: To describe the results related to the Geriatric fracture programs implementation in two Colombian institutions. These results could then be compared to other published experiences to assess reproducibility of the program.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of the patients treated under the Geriatric fracture programs in two institutions in Colombia was carried out. The information of each institution was collected from the initial year of program implementation until 2018. Demographic characteristics, length of stay, hospitalization complications, readmissions and mortality were described. Consumption of healthcare resources was defined using base cases determined with local experts and costs were estimated using standard methods.
Results: 475 patients were included in the Geriatric fracture programs in two institutions. We observed an increase in the number of patients during the Geriatric fracture programs. The length of stay decreased between 8.5% and 26.1%  as did the proportion of total complications, with delirium having the greatest reduction. A similar situation was seen for first year mortality (from 10.9% to 4.7% in one institution and form 11.4% to 5.1% in the other), in-hospital deaths and readmissions. Estimates of costs of stay and complications showed reductions in all scenarios, varying between 22% and 68.3% depending on the sensitivity scenario.
Conclusions: The present study presents the experience of two institutions that implemented the Geriatric fracture programs with increase in the number of patients treated and reductions in the time of hospital stay, the proportion of complications, readmissions, mortality, and estimated costs. These are similar between both institutions and with other published implementations. This could hint that geriatric fracture program may be implemented with reproducible results.

Published: November 2021

Geopark is a sustainable regional development concept that combines geological, biological, and cultural diversity through conservation and education activities to improve the community's welfare. Kebumen Regency has a National Geopark Karangsambung-Karangbolong (GNKK) covering 543,599 Km2 with 41 geosites, ten cultures, and eight biosite since 2018. The northern part of the area is a geological heritage that is widely used for field geological education.

The study aims to identify and assess geosites and geomorphosite in the north area, describing the region's geomorphological processes and geological evolution. Field research was conducted to get an overview of geological diversity, geomorphology, and geosite and determine the selected geomorphosite. Geomorphosite assessment is done quantitatively using the Kubalikova method by assessing five main parameters that include; Intrinsic and scientific value, the value of education, economic value, conservation value, and added value.

The scientific and intrinsic value of Pentulu Indah (PI) = 4, while Wagirsambeng = 3. Educational value of PI = 4, while Wagirsambeng = 2. Economic value is still not satisfactory, but P.I. = 2, while Wagirsambeng = 1.5. Conservation value of P.I. = 3.5, while Wagirsambeng = 2.5. Added value PI = 2.75 while Wagirsambeng = 1.5. Based on those, geomorphosite Pentulu Indah is 16,26 point or a good value (87.83 %) while Wagirsambeng is 10.5 point or fairly level (56.75 %).

Activation Mechanism of Nickel(0) N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysts Stabilized by Fumarate Ligands
Authors: Robo Michael , Frank Amie , Butler Ellen , Nett Alex , Canellas Santiago , Montgomery John , Zimmerman Paul
Published: November 2021

Nickel(0) catalysts of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) that are stabilized by electronic deficient alkenes possess desirable properties of air tolerance and ease of handling while also retaining high catalytic activities. Since catalyst stability often comes at the expense of catalytic activity, we have undertaken a detailed study of the activation mechanism of a new IMes-nickel(0) catalyst stabilized by di-(o-tolyl) fumarate that converts the stable pre-catalyst form into a catalytically active species. Computational evaluation provided evidence against a simple ligand exchange as the activation mechanism, and a stoichiometric activation process that covalently modifies the stabilizing ligand was identified. A detailed computational picture for the activation process was developed, with predictive insights that explain the catalyst features that lead to both active and inactive precatalysts.

Published: November 2021

Determination of the atomic structure of solid surfaces is a challenge that has resisted solution despite advancements in experimental methods. Theory-based global optimization has the potential to revolutionize the field by providing reliable structure models as the basis for interpretation of experiments and for prediction of material properties. So far, however, the approach has been limited by the combinatorial complexity and computational expense of sufficiently accurate energy estimation for surfaces. We demonstrate how an evolutionary algorithm, utilizing machine learning for accelerated energy estimation and diverse population generation, can be used to solve an unknown surface structure—the (4 x 4) surface oxide on Pt3Sn(111)--based on limited experimental input. The algorithm is efficient and robust, and should be broadly applicable in surface studies, where it can replace manual, intuition based model generation.
Legal Aspects of Urban Climate Change Adaptation
Authors: Stupazzini Riccardo
Published: November 2021

Much of the climate discourse of today is held the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and reducing humanity’s ecological footprint on Earth. However, as climate change is already impacting our planet, adaptation measures to climate change are also required. Rising temperatures, the multiplication of intense precipitation events and related pluvial and river floods, drought events and water scarcity, the increase of frequency of wildfires represent a few of the multiple climate change impacts that governments and citizens have to deal with.

For ecological reasons, climate change affects areas very differently based on geographic location and urban centers represent climate ‘hotspots’ as areas with high vulnerability. As a consequence of this, cities and towns play a crucial role in tackling climate change effects.

The aim of this essay is to analyze the legal aspects of climate change adaptation set by local governments to prevent and manage damages related to climate-related risks. More in detail, after determining the international, European and national legal framework on adaptation, the purpose of the article is to identify the legal instruments used by local administrations to develop adaptation measures. In particular, the analysis focuses on the legal aspects related to three dimensions of local adaptation: urban greening as a nature-based solution for heat waves risks; the management of water-related risks; the civil protection planning function of municipalities. Considering the impacts of the mainstreaming process on planning tools, special attention is directed towards the integration and coordination issue between the different urban and sectoral planning instruments required by the Italian multi-level governance legal system.
Role of the Law in Achieving Sustainable Urban Development through Fiscal Incentives in Nigeria
Authors: Olika Daniel
Published: November 2021

As the Nigerian population increasingly becomes urban; the situation has had harmful societal, environmental, health and infrastructural effects on the urban centres. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the rate of land urbanisation in the country is moving at a slower pace; thereby placing pressure on the existing urban centres. Research conducted on urbanisation in Nigeria has revealed that the rate of urbanisation is unsustainable, serves as a constraint on economic development, and Nigeria’s cities are among the worst to live in. Data on the urbanization policies of various governments, globally, reveals that Nigeria is one of the few countries in the world without a clear urban policy. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s population continues to increase and is expected to have doubled by 2050. It is against this backdrop that this paper undertakes a multidisciplinary study of how the law’s adoption of fiscal incentives can help drive sustainable urban development in Nigeria. This paper argues that this will help the state governments in the decongestion of the existing urban centres (as the population urbanisation increases), ensure the creation of new urban centres, utilise fiscal incentives to attract businesses/ urban population to the new centres, and have sufficient fiscal revenues to sustainably manage the urban centres. This paper comparatively analyses the contribution of China’s legal system to its state-led land urbanization moving at a faster rate than its population urbanisation, thereby avoiding the ills associated with urbanization such as congestion, unemployment, etc. With China and Nigeria sharing a similar decentralized tax and fiscal system, state ownership of land, and a large population; this paper argues that the Chinese model can be adopted successfully in Nigeria.
Performing an Anti-Homeless City
Authors: Vallejo Toledo Esteban
Published: November 2021

In the time of globalization, many cities, including the city of Victoria in BC, have engaged in a development model fueled by investment, tourism, and economic immigration. This model requires public authorities to implement policies that contribute to making cities worthy of capital, tourists, and immigrants. Digital connectivity, real estate development, local amenities, and revitalized neighbourhoods are essential ingredients for economic development. In contrast, poverty and urban decay are not good for the way of life that politicians, entrepreneurs, tourists, and urbanites desire. Therefore, all visual manifestations of urban decay, including homelessness, should be restricted by law. In response to this development model, homeless people are forced to perform actions that are banned like building tent cities in parks. In doing so, homeless people challenge exclusionary legal and spatial orderings that support anti-homeless cities.

This paper develops a performativity-based approach to legal geography to contribute to the debate about homelessness in Canada. Rather than focusing on the social right to housing, my argument in this paper zeroes in on the right to use urban space without being excluded. To this goal, I explore interactions between local authorities, homeless people, and other social actors in Victoria to explain that reiterated human interaction is the means to perform and rectify legal and spatial orderings that segregate homeless people. Thus, the performativity-based approach to legal geography developed throughout this paper illustrates not only how anti-homeless cities are socially performed, but also how they are collectively contested.

Authors: YANTUR Pelin , DEDELİ Kemal
Published: November 2021

1947 yılında Truman Doktrini ile daha yoğun bir ilişkiye dönüşen Türkiye ve ABD ilişkileri kronolojik bağlamda ele alındığı zaman değişken bir seyir izlemiş olup, genel olarak Türkiye ekonomisi bu süreçte olumsuz etkilenmiştir. İkili ilişkilerin dalgalı bir seyir izlemesinin pek çok farklı etkisi olmakla birlikte ABD ile yaşanan en ufak krizlerde bile Türkiye ekonomisi etki altında kalmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye ve ABD arasındaki karşılıklı bağımlılık ilişkilerinin 1960- 2018 yılları arasında gerçekleşen dış ticaret verileri üzerinden sektörel etkisini analiz etmektir. Çalışmayı diğer araştırmalardan ayıran özelliği ise tarımsal hammadde, gıda, mal ve hizmet ile toplam ithalat-ihracat değerlerini her iki ülke arasında ele almış ve yöntem bakımından ilişkileri çok yönlü değerlendirmiş olmasıdır. Çalışmada her iki ülke için Dünya Bankası’nda yer alan istatistiklerden “tarımsal hammadde ihracatı, tarımsal hammadde ithalatı, toplam ithalat, gıda ithalatı, gıda ihracatı, mal ve hizmet ihracatı ve toplam ihracat değerleri kullanılarak Vektör Otoregresyon modeli ile içsel ve dışsal olmak üzere her bir parametrenin yönü tayin edilmektedir. Türkiye’nin gıda ihracatı ile ABD gıda ihracatının Türkiye’nin hammadde ihracatı üzerinde belirleyici etkisi olduğu, ABD gıda ihracatının Türkiye’nin gıda ithalat ve ihracatı üzerinde önemli etkisi olduğu bulgulanmıştır.

Vaping of flavored liquids has been touted as safe alternative to traditional cigarette smoking with decreased health risks. The popularity of vaping has dramatically increased over the last decade, particularly among teenagers who incorporate vaping into their daily life as a social activity. Despite widespread and increasing adoption of vaping among young adults, there is little information on long-term consequences of vaping and potential health risks. This study demonstrates vaping-induced pulmonary injury using commercial JUUL pens with flavored vape juice using an inhalation exposure murine model. Profound pathological changes to upper airway, lung tissue architecture, and cellular structure are evident within 9 wk of exposure. Marked histologic changes include increased parenchyma tissue density, cellular infiltrates proximal to airway passages, alveolar rarefaction, increased collagen deposition, and bronchial thickening with elastin fiber disruption. Transcriptional reprogramming includes significant changes to gene families coding for xenobiotic response, glycerolipid metabolic processes, and oxidative stress. Cardiac systemic output is moderately but significantly impaired with pulmonary side ventricular chamber enlargement. This vaping-induced pulmonary injury model demonstrates mechanistic underpinnings of vaping-related pathologic injury.
Transnationalism and Development: The Impact of Remittances to Timor-Leste
Authors:   , Brites Soares Brigida
Published: November 2021

The aim of this thesis is to Explorer the impact of remittances, sent from Timorese workers in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, South Korea and Australia, on the Development of Timor-Leste.  The research in this study is from three different perspectives. Firstly, the migration processes and the remittance service providers, which are involved in managing the transfer of remittances from Timorese workers overseas to their families at home. Secondly, the remittance is used by recipient familieson the consumption (durable and non durable goods). Finally, the remittance is used on human capital invest-ment and business investment. From these three perspectives, this thesis examines how remittances con tribute to the development of Timor-Leste. Using a qualitative method, the study addresses one main question: What is the impact of remittances to Timor-Leste?  The study was underpinned by qualitative research conducted in Timor-Leste, which has a total popula-tion of 1.1 million. I administered the field research in 7 locations to 30 participants. These included 10 remittance receiving households in the urban district of Dili and 10 from the rural areas of Baucau, Lospa-los, Viqueque, Ainaro, Covalima and Oecusse. Another 10 interviewees were migrant workers domiciled in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, South Korea and Australia. The interviews also conducted with relevant Government institutions regarding the process of emigration to work in United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, South Korea and Australia. Also, bank and non-bank institusions as the channel used to transfers remittances from the host countries of the migrants to their families at home.  In adopting a combination of theoretical approaches, especially the New Economy of Labour Migration, I argue that remittances have a positive contribution to the development of household participants‟ welfare, the development of human capital and they enable remitters and their families in Timor-Leste to start small and medium businesses. The study also found that the ultimate use of remittances is variously in-vested in productive and unproductive sectors. I further argue that the positive impact of remittances on peoples‟ lives significantly increases the numbers of overseas migrants, which attracts a greater flow of remittances into the country and that urgent government policies are needed to facilitate these more easily.
Ctrl + Alt + Delete? Challenges to New Zealand censorship law in the internet age
Authors:   , Kirkconnell-Kawana Lexie
Published: November 2021

This thesis examines the adequacy of the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993 as it applies to expression on the Internet. Weaknesses and inadequacies of the statute are identified and contextualised as flowing from the lack of legal development needed to coincide with the disruptive features of Internet technology, not least the change to the media/content distribution model. The statute is not likely to be fit for purpose as the technology develops further. Three suggestions for reform are proposed which aim to improve the law so that it may withstand future challenges. The reform takes into consideration the purposes of the statute, a normative law-making perspective and the right to freedom of expression. Without adequate censorship legislation, the state risks ceding law-making authority over Internet expression to un-elected, non-democratic and rights-ambivalent private entities.
Cross-Boundary Information Sharing By Knowledge Brokers During A Disaster
Authors:   , Md Ali A Fahimi
Published: November 2021

This thesis explores and investigates the process of cross-boundary information sharing by knowledge brokers (KB) during a disaster using lenses of knowledge management and naturalistic decision making.   The study integrated interpretivist and positivist stances, conducted using qualitative methods. It used a multiple case embedded research design and in-depth face-to-face interviews as the method of inquiry and an inductive process of theory generation. The cases were in the context of disasters that occurred in New Zealand. The unit of analysis was the scenarios that KB experienced during disasters.  Based on a four stage analysis of the data, there were two phases that KB went through in assessing the veracity of the information they received and deciding to whom the information is relevant. In each phase, KB were relying on different cognitive resources to filter and to match the information. It was also found that there were different types of boundary, information and disasters. Interestingly, it was found that KB used different tactics to make the decision on the information’s veracity and to whom it is relevant.  The primary contribution of this thesis is the generation and explanation of the theoretical model of cross-boundary information sharing by KB during a disaster. This theory can also be used by practitioners as a guide to improve disaster management training and for the community to prepare stronger resilience plans.
‘Tales of Wonder and Horror’: Coverage of insanity in the Leeds press, 1808-1840
Authors:   , Kryssova Evgeniya
Published: November 2021

The press was at the centre of the reform of the meaning of insanity, during its evolution from an equivocal eighteenth-century concept of melancholia to a medicalised Victorian notion of ‘lunacy’. During the late Georgian era newspapers provided a public forum for the opinion of newly emerging psychiatric practitioners and fostered the fears and concerns about mental illness and its supposed increase. The press was also the main source of news on crime, providing readers with reports on criminal insanity and suicide. In the first half of the nineteenth century, newspaper contents included official legal reports, as well as editorial commentary and excerpts from other publications, and newspaper articles can rarely be traced to one single author. Historians of British insanity avoid consulting periodical literature, choosing to use asylum records and coroners’ reports, as these sources are more straightforward than newspapers. However, Rab Houston’s recent study of the coverage of suicide in the north of Britain shows that the provincial press has been unjustly overlooked and can offer the material for a unique social analysis. Asylum records and coroners’ records do not contain the same detail provided in the press. Newspaper commentary can arguably reveal contemporary attitudes towards insanity and, moreover, sources such as asylum records only deal with the lower-class patients, as the middle- and upper-class insane were usually privately detained.  This thesis examines the press coverage of insanity in Leeds newspapers, and expands on previous research by looking at the way insanity was portrayed in the two most popular publications in the industrial region of Yorkshire: the Leeds Intelligencer and the Leeds Mercury. Chapter one focuses on legal cases that featured a verdict of insanity and explores the language used by the press in the reports of, mainly, violent domestic crime. Chapter two looks at reports of suicide and considers how contemporary views on financial and moral despondency influenced the portrayal of self-murder. Chapter three considers editorial articles that cannot be described as either crime or suicide reports. This chapter uncovers the presence of surprisingly humorous and entertaining articles on insanity found in editorials and the ‘Miscellany’ sections of the newspapers. Ultimately, this thesis argues that the reportage of insanity in the Leeds press was sensational, moralistic and selectively sympathetic; furthermore, such portrayal of insanity was reinforced throughout the body of the paper. Leeds newspapers segregated the insane by adopting a moralising tone and by choosing to use class-specific language towards the insane of different social ranks.
