Authors: Lee Naa , Lee Soo Young , Kim Chang Hyun , Kwak Han Deok , Ju Jae Kyun , Kim Hyeong Rok
Published: September 2020

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between high-output stomas (HOSs), postoperative ileus (POI), and readmission after rectal cancer surgery with diverting ileostomy.Methods: We included 302 patients with rectal cancer who underwent restorative resection with diverting ileostomy between January 2011 and December 2015. HOSs were defined as stomas with ≥ 2,000 mL/day output. We analyzed predictive factors for readmission of these patients.Results: Forty-eight patients (15.9%) had HOSs during the hospital stay, and 41 patients (13.6%) experienced POI. HOSs were strongly associated with POI (45.8% vs. 7.5%, P < 0.001). The all-cause readmission rate was 16.9%, with 19 (6.3%) and 20 (6.6%) experiencing ileus and acute kidney injury, respectively. HOSs (27.1% vs. 15.0%, P = 0.040) and POI (34.1% vs. 14.2%, P = 0.002) were associated with all-cause readmission, and POI was associated with readmission with ileus (17.1% vs. 4.6%, P = 0.007). POI was an independent risk factor for all-cause readmission (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.640; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.162 to 6.001; P = 0.020) and readmission with ileus (adjusted OR = 3.869; 95% CI 1.387 to 10.792; P = 0.010).Conclusion: POI was associated with readmission, particularly for subsequent ileus, in patients with diverting ileostomy. We should make efforts to reduce POI, such as strong control of HOSs, to prevent readmission.

Authors: Bae Jung Hoon , Koh Wooree , Kim Hyun Ho , Lee Yoon Suk
Published: September 2020

We aimed to show that a standardized step-by-step robotic approach using surgical landmarks could make lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPND) less complicated. We performed robot-assisted LPND consisting of 4 steps using surgical landmarks. The first step is a dissection of uretero-hypogastric fascia, which envelopes the ureter and the hypogastric nerve. The second step is a dissection of the medial side of the external iliac vein located at the lateral border of the obturator lymph nodes (LNs) group. The third step is a dissection of the vesico-hypogastric fascia, which is at the medial border of the obturator LNs group. The final step is a dissection of the internal iliac artery until the Alcock’s canal. Indocyanine green was injected just before surgery around the dentate line to identify the lateral pelvic LNs. Standardization using a robotic approach for LPND guided by surgical landmarks allows a safer and more effective surgery.
Is There a Relationship Between Stool Consistency and Pain at First Defecation After Limited Half Hemorrhoidectomy? A Pilot Study
Authors: Yano Takaaki
Published: September 2020

Purpose: While the first defecation pain is a problem following hemorrhoidectomy, it is unknown whether the stool consistency has an influence on pain. This pilot study aimed to investigate whether the intensity of defecation pain varied according to stool consistency.Methods: This prospective cohort study evaluated patients who underwent hemorrhoidectomy in combination with injection sclerotherapy for grade III or IV hemorrhoids. The pain intensity and stool form during the first postoperative defecation were self-recorded by the patients using a visual analogue scale (score of 0–10) and Bristol Stool Form Scale, respectively. The patients were classified into 3 groups according to stool consistency, and the intensity of defecation pain was compared among the groups using analysis of variance.Results: A total of 61 patients were eligible for this study and were classified into the hard stool (n=15), normal stool (n=21), and soft stool groups (n=25). No significant intergroup differences were identified in the intensity of pain at defecation (P=0.29).Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrated that there were no clear differences in pain intensity during the first defecation after surgery among the 3 groups with different levels of stool consistency.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: We conducted a prospective study to evaluate a new hemorrhoidal bleeding score (HBS).Methods: All consecutive patients who had consulted between May 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017 for bleeding hemorrhoidal disease were prospectively assessed at a proctological department. The study was conducted in 2 stages. The first stage assessed the validity of the score on a prospective patient cohort. A second stage assessed the interobserver reproducibility of the score on another prospective cohort.Results: One hundred consecutive patients were studied (57 males; mean age, 49.70 years). A positive association between HBS and surgery indication was found (P<0.001). A cut-off value of the score of 5 (≤5 vs. >5) separated patients from surgical to medical-instrumental treatment with a sensitivity and specificity of 75.00% and 81.25%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, only HBS was significantly associated with the operative decision (odds ratio, 12.22). Prolapse was no longer significantly associated with the surgical indication. After a mean follow-up after treatment of 7 months, HBS improved statistically significantly (P<0.0001). For the reproducibility of the score, an additional 30 consecutive patients (13 males; mean age, 53.14 years) were enrolled with an excellent agreement between 2 proctologists (kappa=0.983).Conclusion: HBS is sensitive, specific, and reproducible. It can assess the severity of hemorrhoidal bleeding. It can discriminate between the most severe surgery-indicated patients and does so in a more efficient way than the Goligher prolapse score. It also allows quantifying the extent of change in hemorrhoidal bleeding after treatment.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: There is no clear evidence of the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in stage IIA colon cancer. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors and survival benefit of AC in this disease.Methods: A retrospective data collection for patients who underwent radical surgery for colon cancer between January 2008 and December 2015 was undertaken. The cohort was divided into the no-AC and AC groups.Results: We included 227 patients with stage IIA colon cancer in our study cohort, including 67 and 160 patients in the no-AC and AC groups, respectively. The number of retrieved lymph nodes and the presence of tumor complications as obstruction or perforation were independent risk factors for survival. In the no-AC group, there was a significant difference in survival according to the number of retrieved lymph nodes. In the AC group, there were significant differences in survival according to sidedness and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). There was no significant difference in survival between the no-AC and the AC groups.Conclusion: The number of retrieved lymph nodes and the presence of tumor complications were prognostic factors for stage IIA colon cancer but lymphovascular and perineural invasion were not. Sidedness and preoperative CEA could be used as factors to predict the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy. Currently, it is believed that there is no benefit of AC for stage IIA colon cancer. Further studies are needed to determine the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage IIA colon cancer.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: Anastomotic leak (AL) after a low pelvic anastomosis is a devastating complication, with short- and long-term morbidity and increased mortality. Surgeons may employ various adjuncts in an attempt to reduce AL rates or mitigate their impact. These include the use of temporary diverting ileostomy (TDI), transanal or rectal tubes and pelvic drains. This questionnaire evaluates the preferences and routine use of these adjuncts in Australasian colorectal surgeons.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to Australian and New Zealand colorectal surgeons on September 20, 2018. The study survey consisted of 15 questions exploring basic demographics and the number of rectal resections and ileal pouches performed in 12 months, along with the surgeon’s preference for the use of diverting stomas, rectal tubes, and pelvic drains.Results: There were 90 respondents to the survey (31.6%). Surgeons in Western Australia (71.4%) were more likely to use a mandatory TDI in colorectal extraperitoneal anastomoses than surgeons in Queensland (14.3%). South Australian surgeons are more likely to employ a mandatory TDI (100%) for ileal pouches than Queensland surgeons (42.9%). Rectal tubes are not commonly utilized (40.0% never use them), and pelvic drains are (45.6% in all cases). Surgeons consider a median AL rate of 15% was felt to justify the use of a TDI in low pelvic anastomoses and a median AL rate of 10% for ileal pouchesConclusion: There is considerable geographical variation in colorectal surgical practice throughout Australia and New Zealand. While surgeons interrogate the same literature, there are presumably other factors that see translation into variations in clinical practice.

Public Risk-Taking and Rewards During the COVID-19 Pandemic - A Case Study of Remdesivir in the Context of Global Health Equity
Authors: Wimmer Sabrina , Keestra Sarai M.
Published: September 2020

Public investment, through both research grants and university funding, plays a crucial role in the research and development (R&D) of novel health technologies, including diagnostics, therapies, and vaccines, to address the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Using the example of remdesivir, one of the most promising COVID-19 treatments, this paper traces back public contributions to different stages of the innovation process. Applying the Risk-Reward Nexus framework to the R&D of remdesivir, we analyse the role of the public in risk-taking and reward and address inequities in the biomedical innovation system. We discuss the collective, cumulative and uncertain characteristics of innovation, highlighting the lack of transparency in the biomedical R&D system, the need for public investment in the innovation process, and the "time-lag" between risk-taking and reward. Despite the significant public transnational contributions to the R&D of remdesivir, the rewards are extracted by few actors and the return to the public in the form of equitable access and affordable pricing is limited. Beyond the necessity to treat remdesivir as a global public good, we argue that biomedical innovation needs to be viewed in the broader concept of public value to prevent the same equity issues currently seen in the COVID-19 pandemic. This requires the state to take a market-shaping rather than market-fixing role, thereby steering innovation, ensuring that patents do not hinder global equitable access and affordable pricing and safeguarding a global medicines supply.
Purveyors of the Commercial Determinants of Health Have No Place at Any Policy Table Comment on "Towards Preventing and Managing Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Policy? An Analysis of Submissions to a Consultation on a Draft WHO Tool"
Authors: Labonté Ronald
Published: September 2020

With public health attention on the commercial determinants of health showing little sign of abatement, how to manage conflicts of interest (COI) in regulatory policy discussions with corporate actors responsible for these determinants is gaining critical traction. The contribution by Ralston et al explores how COI management has itself become a terrain of contestation in their analysis of submissions on a draft World Health Organization (WHO) tool to manage COI conflicts in development of nutrition policy. The authors identify two camps in conflict with one another: a corporate side emphasizing their individual good intents and contributions, and an non-governmental organization (NGO) side maintaining inherent structural conflicts that require careful proscribing. The study concludes that the draft tool does a reasonable job in ensuring COI are avoided and policy development sheltered from corporate self-interests, introducing novel improvements in global governance for health. At the same time, the tool appears to adhere to a belief that private economic (corporate) and public good (citizen) conflicts can indeed be managed. I question this assumption and posit that public health needs to be much bolder in its critique of the nature of power, influence, and self-interests that pervade and risk dominating our stakeholder models of global governance.
Who Deserves Welfare and Who Does Not? Comment on "A Scoping Review of Populist Radical Right Parties’ Influence on Welfare Policy and its Implications for Population Health in Europe"
Authors: Muis Jasper
Published: September 2020

To what extent has the rise of populist radical right (PRR) parties in Europe affected welfare policies? Based on a scoping review of studies that address the relationship between PRR parties and welfare policy, Chiara Rinaldi and Marleen Bekker conclude that, due to their welfare chauvinistic positions, the participation of PRR parties in government coalitions is likely to have negative effects on the access to welfare provisions and health of vulnerable population groups. This short commentary reflects on this review article and critically examines its conclusion. It suggests some conceptual clarifications, raises some reservations about the review’s main claim, and provides some follow-up questions.

The dependence of the level of sorption properties (co)of polymers relative to bioactive compounds (BAC), their water absorption and swelling on the conditions of the (co) polymerization process has been determined. The ability of composite copolymers to high moisture absorption, binding and prolonged release of BAC and the possibility of their use for biomedical purposes has been established.
Current timer switch in a GaAs-based nanowire coupled with polyoxometalate nanoparticle and conductive AFM tip
Authors: Sasaki Kentaro , Saito Shunsuke , Kasai Seiya
Published: September 2020

We demonstrate a current timer switch function in a GaAs-based nanowire electrostatically coupled with a polyoxometalate nanoparticle (POM NP) and a conductive atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip. The nanowire current associated with the charge state of the POM NP on the nanowire surface abruptly changed after several ten seconds from biasing the conductive tip. The current switch timing changed depending on the tip voltage. The timer switch function appeared when the tip approached the POM NP where the AFM phase image showed phase lag at high atmospheric humidity condition. We discuss the timer mechanism in terms of the configuration of the electromechanical potential of the cantilever and dynamic potential modulation by mobile ions and polarized molecules in the water-absorbed POM NP surface.

Published: September 2020

An environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) was applied to the in situ observation of carbon contamination removal reaction on (100) crystal plane of catalytic CeO2 nanocubes. The distance between the surface of CeO2 and carbon layer (width) was quantitatively measured versus time at eleven points on three CeO2 nanocubes by observation at an oxygen pressure of 3.0 × 10−1 Pa at 400 °C. The carbon contamination removal rate in the time range of 100 to 460 s was 0.01 ± 0.002 nm s−1, not depending on the place. However, in the later stage, the rates of 0.057 ± 0.01 nm s−1 and 0.24 ± 0.02 nm s−1 were obtained for carbon contamination of different areas in the specimen even if the same crystal plane (100) was in contact with carbon. Carbon on the crystal surface in the inner area of the CeO2 aggregate was eliminated more quickly than contamination in the outer area. The result means that the local-environmental influence in nanoparticle aggregates is taken into account in a heterogeneous catalytic reaction as well as contamination reduction using ETEM.

Introduction. Hepatitis E (HE) is an important public health problem worldwide and is especially significant for pregnant women, among whom the associated mortality rate reaches 25%. The distribution of HE serological markers in this cohort in the endemic regions of Central Asia is poorly understood. The aim of the study was to assess the seroprevalence of HEV among pregnant women in the region of Kyrgyzstan where an increased incidence of HE is reported.Material and methods. Blood serum of pregnant women, obtained from medical institutions in Bishkek, city of Osh and Osh region in the period from September 2016 to October 2019, and the control group of clinically healthy women were tested using the test systems “DS-IFA-ANTI-HEV-G” and “DS-IFA-ANTI-HEV-M” (NPO “Diagnostic Systems”, Russia).Results. IgG antibodies to HEV were detected in 87 (5.9%) of 1472 examined pregnant women, IgM antibodies -in 64 (4.8%) of 1378, while 5 (0.34%) samples were simultaneously positive for IgG and IgM antibodies. The rates of detection of antibodies to HEV in women of three age categories from 17 to 36 years old in the studied and control groups were similar. The analysis of the seasonal dynamics of HEV seroprevalence in pregnant women in the period from February to September 2019 showed a tendency towards an increase in the values of the positivity coefficient of specific IgM antibodies by the beginning of the autumn. Antibodies to HEV were detected with highest frequency in women from Osh region.Conclusions. A high risk of HEV infection for pregnant women in the surveyed region had been shown.

As estimativas de redução das reservas minerais aumentaram a demanda atual por novas fontes de fósforo. Paralelamente, novas tecnologias buscam formas eficientes de remover esse nutriente do meio aquático devido a sua interferência na qualidade dos recursos hídricos. Neste sentido, e englobando os conceitos de economia circular aplicados às biorrefinarias em estações de tratamento de efluentes, este estudo propõe a recuperação de um biopolímero presente no lodo granular aeróbio (LGA). O biopolímero ALE (alginate-like exopolymer), extraído de um reator batelada sequencial piloto granular, alimentado com efluente sanitário real, foi testado como material adsorvente para remover fósforo de amostras líquidas. As eficiências de remoção obtidas no tempo de equilíbrio (ERe) foram de 27% para as esferas de ALE e de 18% para esferas de alginato comercial.

DE são compostos que interferem no sistema endócrino mesmo em baixas concentrações. Dentre estes compostos, podem-se destacar os hormônios, que estão presentes nos efluentes domésticos e não são eficientemente removidos nas ETE. Dessa forma, as principais fontes de captação de água para consumo humano estão sujeitas a contaminação. Por esse motivo, estudos sobre tratamentos da água que removam esses hormônios tornam-se relevantes. Nesse contexto, este artigo avalia a eficiência de remoção dos hormônios E1, E2, E3 e EE2 por diferentes tecnologias de tratamento. Foto-Fenton, UV/H2O2, UV/TiO2 e ozonização são eficientes na remoção, mas devido ao elevado tempo de contato e à possibilidade de toxicidade do TiO2, destaca-se a ozonização. Ademais, mais estudos devem ser realizados, principalmente para o estriol, que apresentou poucos estudos e baixa remoção na maioria dos tratamentos.

Published: September 2020

Tidal turbines are entering an industrial phase and farms will soon be installed. In order to optimize the power output of tidal farms, a good understanding of the interactions between the ambient turbulence and a single turbine is crucial. Computational Fluid Dynamics, and more precisely Large Eddy Simulation, is one way of acquiring such knowledge. This study proposed a comparison between a Lattice Boltzmann Method LES approach and a Navier-Stokes LES approach to model the wake of a tidal turbine. Numerical results are compared with experimental results and a relatively good concordance is observed. Differences inherent to the approaches are then pointed out.

Prestressed force loss always occurs in prestressed concrete (loss

prestressed). The most common form used in pre-tensile beams is

straight tendons and for post-tensile beams are curved tendons. In

planning a prestressed concrete bridge structure, the loss of prestressed force must be considered, because the stress on the prestressed concrete tendon decreases continuously over time. The number of factors that are interrelated, for the effectiveness of the design, location of tendons along the spans need to be considered, so that the tensile strength that occurs in the extreme fiber beam is limited or none at all in the cross section. This final project will examine the shape of the PC beam I Girder with 4 tendon setting conditions namely straight tendon cable which is on the neutral axis so that the eccentricity = 0 (condition1), straight tendon cable which is at 1/6 h so that the eccentricity ≠ 0 (condition 2), tendon cable with draped / parabolic shape (condition 3), and tendon condition with harped shape (condition 4). The biggest prestressed loss results were PC I Girder (condition 2) = 395.81 MPa (26.07%), while the smallest prestressed loss is PC I Girder (condition3) = 367.44 MPa (24.2%). Condition 1 and 2 in girder is not suitable for use because it exceeds the value of the allowable stress at the limit of prestressed and deflection permits on girder are safe for each condition.

In this situation, it is necessary to take into account the views of students, the formation of skills of their behavior in the network space, since many functions of social networks can be successfully integrated into the EIOS, which will reduce the degree of risks associated with the use of public networks. On the other hand, for employees of educational institutions, the introduction of EIOS will create a system of General social norms and regulatory principles regulating the use of information technologies in the educational process.
TRAINING FUTURE BACHELORS OF SOCIAL WORK TO USE REGULATORY LEGAL ACTS: A DESCRIPTOR ANALYSIS
Authors: Knyazeva A. G.
Published: September 2020

This study seeks to identify methodological foundations of the legal training of bachelors of social work, in particular, training to use of regulatory legal acts. The aim of study was to reveal the descriptors of legal training, developed by Novikov, that characterize methodology as a way of organizing activities. The Russian Professional Standard “Social Work Specialist” and the Federal State Educational Standard 39.03.02 “Social Work” require that the graduates majoring in this discipline acquire the legal competency that is manifested in the ability to use normative legal acts of the international, federal and regional levels to protect and assert social rights of citizens. It is recommended, in training bachelors of social work to use normative legal acts, to identify such descriptors as the activity characteristics, the logical structure, and the temporary structure. Using the analysis and synthesis of scientific and practical activities, the process of training future bachelors of social work is described through its features (standards, personal orientation), principles (organizational, substantive), norms of activity (competence, individualization of training), subject, object, subject matter, forms (interactive seminars on legal framework, workshops), means, methods (organization and implementation of educational and cognitive activities, stimulation and motivation, control and self-control), activity outcomes, and stages (informational and methodological stage, organizational activity stage, conceptual strategic stage, experimental and formative stage). The identification of structural components corresponds to the principles of the systemic approach that allows a deeper study of the essence, content and characteristics of the object under study. The descriptive analysis of training can be used in the system of professional development for social work specialists.

Menekültek Magyarországon a második világháborút követő és a menekültek helyzetére vonatkozó genfi konvenció ratifikálását megelőző időszakban
Authors: Klenner Zoltán
Published: September 2020

To handle the migration crisis was one the most important questions of the postwar Europe. Forced migration caused by the Second World War had impact even on Hungary. After that the communists took control, borders were closed  and migration was under strict state control. The communist party aimed to close the borders and push the migration back. During this period only few decisions have been made at the highest level of the communist party motivated by political ideological reasons, for example refugees from Greece at the end of the forties, or refugees from Chile at the beginning of the seventies. Those people were leftists and – although in reduced circumstances – they got real opportunity to settle down in Hungary. At the end of the eighties, the refugee wave from Romania was motivated by different reasons and features. In order to handle the crisis, caused by the refugee wave, Hungary ratified the Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
Energy matters
Authors: Mukherjee Upamanyu Pablo
Published: September 2020

The third chapter concentrates on how Indian science fiction met the representational challenges regarding energy during the non-aligned era. These decades were marked by chronic ‘energy crises’ in the country, involving massive shortages in food and fuel. Drawing on recent theoretical developments in Energy Humanities, the chapter suggests that much of the science fiction of the time was animated by attempts to present the pitfalls of thinking about energy exclusively in terms of resource and extraction and imagine what a non-exploitative energy-system could look like.
Conclusion: Science, fiction and the end of non-alignment
Authors: Mukherjee Upamanyu Pablo
Published: September 2020

The concluding chapter looks at the legacy of ‘Nehruvian’ techno-science and non-alignment after the death of Nehru, as well as at the interrogation and mobilization of this legacy in Indian science fiction. It briefly discusses the writings of figures such as Adrish Bardhan, J.V. Narlikar and Vandana Singh to show that modern and contemporary Indian science fiction remain a productive site for critical assessment of assumptions about techno-science, ‘development’ and global culture.
Middle-Class Life in Victorian Belfast
Authors: Johnson Alice
Published: September 2020

This book reconstructs the social world of upper middle-class Belfast during the time of the city’s greatest growth, between the 1830s and the 1880s. Using extensive primary material including personal correspondence, memoirs, diaries and newspapers, the author draws a rich portrait of Belfast society and explores both the public and inner lives of Victorian bourgeois families. Leading business families like the Corrys and the Workmans, alongside their professional counterparts, dominated Victorian Belfast’s civic affairs, taking pride in their locale and investing their time and money in improving it. This social group displayed a strong work ethic, a business-oriented attitude and religious commitment, and its female members led active lives in the domains of family, church and philanthropy. While the Belfast bourgeoisie had parallels with other British urban elites, they inhabited a unique place and time: ‘Linenopolis’ was the only industrial city in Ireland, a city that was neither fully Irish nor fully British, and at the very time that its industry boomed, an unusually violent form of sectarianism emerged. Middle-Class Life in Victorian Belfast provides a fresh examination of familiar themes such as civic activism, working lives, philanthropy, associational culture, evangelicalism, recreation, marriage and family life, and represents a substantial and important contribution to Irish social history.
Literature as Cultural Diplomacy: Czech Literature in Great Britain, 1918–38
Authors: Chitnis Rajendra
Published: September 2020

The chapter starts from the premise that the study of cultural diplomacy, dominated by a focus on major world powers since 1945, would be illuminated by a better understanding of the cultural diplomatic activities of small, new or restored European states after 1918. It further argues that attempts to incorporate literary translation into cultural diplomacy quintessentially highlight the difficulties of practising cultural diplomacy. The chapter centrally documents the extent and nature of government support for Czech literary translation in the UK, mapping the networks that facilitated the translation of Czech imaginative literature and assessing their relationship with Czechoslovak cultural diplomacy. The chapter shows that the translation and promotion of Czech literature in the UK, though never the product of direct state strategy or intervention, is always linked to gatekeeper sympathy for the idea and aims of Czechoslovakia, but the reception of translated Czech literature in the UK shows no appreciation of this aspect until after the September 1938 Munich Agreement, when, for Czechoslovakia, it is too late.
Strategies for Success? Evaluating the Rise of Catalan Literature
Authors: Mansell Richard M.
Published: September 2020

This chapter uses an account of the twenty-first century efforts of Catalan literature to break into English-language book markets as a means of examining the opportunities, challenges and strategies that present themselves to smaller literatures in a changing reading and book-buying environment. The chapter first explains the historical significance to Catalan culture of translation, as a means not only of filling gaps in a disrupted history, but also of building and unifying Catalan cultural identity. It highlights the institutional measures put in place to support this effort and assesses the work of the Institut Ramon Llull. Though its initiatives appear to have increased production and visibility of Catalan literature, the chapter argues that the key role has been played by translators acting as gatekeepers. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the relationship between commercial success and major international prizes or choice of genre, noting that Catalan literature has not targeted either.
Misreading Anita Brookner
Authors: Mayer Peta
Published: September 2020

Anita Brookner was a best-selling women’s writer, Booker Prize winner and an historian of French Romantic art. However she is best known for writing boring, outdated books about lonely, single women. This book offers a queer rereading of Brookner by demonstrating the performative Romanticism of her novels to narrate multiple historical forms of homoerotic desire. It draws on diverse nineteenth-century intertexts from Charles Baudelaire to Henry James, Renée Vivien to Freud to establish a cross-historical and temporal methodology that emphasises figures of anachronism, the lesbian, the backwards turn and the woman writer. Delineating sets of narrative behaviours, tropes and rhetorical devices between Brookner’s Romantic predecessors and her own novels, the book produces a cast of Romantic personae comprising the military man, analysand, queer, aesthete, dandy, flâneur, degenerate and storyteller as hermeneutic figures for rereading Brookner. It then stages the performance of these personae along the specified narrative forms and back through six Brookner novels to reveal queer stories about their characters and plotlines. This new interpretation offers ways to think about Brookner’s contemporary female heroines as hybrid variations of (generally male) nineteenth-century artist archetypes. As a result it simultaneously critiques the heterosexual and temporal misreading that has characterised Brookner’s early reception.
Science Fiction and Psychology
Authors: Miller Gavin
Published: September 2020

Psychology and Science Fiction goes beyond such incidental observations and engagements to offer an in-depth exploration of science fiction literature’s varied use of psychological discourses, beginning at the birth of modern psychology in the late nineteenth century, and concluding with the ascendance of neuroscience in the late twentieth century. Rather than dwelling on psychoanalytic readings, this literary investigation combines with history of psychology to offer attentive textual readings that explore five key psychological schools: evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis, behaviourism, existential-humanism, and cognitivism. The varied functions of psychological discourses in science fiction are explored, whether to popularise and prophesy, to imagine utopia or dystopia, to estrange our everyday reality, to comment on science fiction itself, or to abet (or resist) the spread of psychological wisdom. Psychology and Science Fiction also considers how psychology itself has made use of science fiction in order to teach, to secure legitimacy as a discipline, and to comment on the present.
