Ophthalmic Hospital

John Zachariah Laurence was one of the four medical staff appointed in 1860 to the new “Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic,” at 24 Queen Square, London. A prize-winning graduate of UCH he was known for his high intellect and skills in general surgery and in ophthalmology. After a brief period at Queen Square he left to found the South London Ophthalmic Hospital that became the Royal Eye Hospital, and the “Ophthalmic Review”, the first British journal of ophthalmology; he later served at Barts. Highly accomplished in the arts, literature and research his achievements were sadly neglected by his contemporaries.

The Relationship

A brief review of the state of music education in the UK at the time of the creation of the British Journal of Music Education (BJME) leads to a consideration of the range and focus of topics since the initiation of the Journal. In particular, the initial requirement of careful and critical enquiry is amplified, drawing out the inevitability of theorising, an activity which is considered to be essential for reflective practice. The relationship of theory and data is examined, in particular differentiating between the sciences and the arts. A ‘case study’ of theorising is presented and examined in some detail and possible strands of future development are identified.

Program Efficacy

AbstractFrom 1975 through 1982, the South Florida Hospital Consortium for Infection Control provided consultative and educational services to personnel of 20 community hospitals. To evaluate program efficacy, outbreak frequencies were compared at 11 hospitals with 5 to 8 years of experience through 1982. Annual outbreak rates during the first 4 membership years were compared with those of subsequent years, by service. Each hospital served as its own control. Outbreaks were most frequent in critical care and orthopedic-general surgery patients, and among hospital personnel. Critical care outbreaks occurred more often in hospitals classified as oncology centers (P<.05); their frequency did not decrease significantly after 4 years of membership. However, surgical outbreak rates did decrease from .36 annually in the first years to .03 thereafter (P<.01). This was not attributable to a secular decrease and is taken to indicate program efficacy. No change in frequency of hospital personnel outbreaks was evident.

In Captivity

This chapter examines the life of Boers held captive by the British during the South African War, with particular emphasis on inmates’ grievances relating to water, meat, clothing, work, and lack of freedom. It first provides an overview of the captives’ lifestyle at the Winburg concentration camp as well as camp personnel and medical staff before discussing the issue of disease and death in the camp. It then considers the freedom that prisoners of war (POWs) had to make existential choices, with reference to the suborning of prisoners by the British and the prisoners’ efforts to maintain group solidarity. It also discusses defiance and compliance by the inmates and concludes with an assessment of daily life in the POW concentration camps.

The Voice

In 2012, Bruce Springsteen delivered the keynote address at the South By Southwest Music Conference and Festival. His task was daunting: reconnect authenticity to a traditional approach to creating art. By bringing together ideas on authenticity, creativity, and culture, Springsteen’s talk joins a lineage of essays that defend poetry, creativity, and culture, including famous works by William Wordsworth and T.S. Eliot. In this article, I connect Springsteen’s ideas to the “folk process,” which leads to considering Wordsworth’s ideas on the voice of the common citizen and Eliot’s ideas on historical tradition. In the end, I consider Springsteen’s legacy as cultural ambassador for the arts.

On 20 September 1980 a single male gypsy moth, Lymantria (= Porthetria) dispar (L.), was found in a pheromone trap near the Arts and Culture Centre, Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Identification was confirmed by Dr. J. D. Lafontaine, Biosystematics Research Institute, Ottawa. This was the first record of the gypsy moth in Newfoundland, which is separated in the south 144 km from Nova Scotia and in the north 14 km from Labrador.

Cave Dweller

Throughout history man has navigated himself or his vehicle; while some of the methods he has used have remained unchanged through the centuries, other methods have been developed, and when superseded by later developments often lost. The stone age cave dweller used navigation, after chasing his quarry, to find his way back to his cave and this particular form of the art of navigation is little changed today. On the other hand the arts and the techniques which enabled early Polynesian navigators to sail the South Seas, and the crews of Arabian dhows to return to their home ports unerringly, may well be lost for all time. We do not propose to regret this; it is part of the evolutionary process that as each skill is lost it is replaced by a greater skill. The modern marine sextant can trace its ancestry back to the practice of measuring the height of a star in finger breadths used by those Arab navigators. Aerial navigation entirely, and from our limited knowledge we suggest ship navigation also, is at a point in its development where the man is being replaced by the machine, and it may be that we should assess the best way to ensure that we, as navigators, remain master of that machine.

Media Transformation

Media transformation sets the scene for a new journalismSince 1993 the South African media have been going through a period of fundamental transformation. This process has resulted in a phenomenon of black journalists and whites with credentials as anti-apartheid activists, moving into senior editorial positions at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) as well as at newspapers. This article briefly describes the said transformational steps within the framework of existing media models, inter alia the developmental, social-responsibility and democratic-participatory models. Journalism covering the arts, culture and literature is thereby placed within a broader media context. It is concluded that the dominant media model(s) will determine the kind of journalism we can expect in future.
