Paediatric Thoracic Imaging in Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Modulation
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common progressive life-shortening genetic conditions worldwide. Ground-breaking translational research has generated therapies that target the primary cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) defect, known as CFTR modulators. A crucial aspect of paediatric CF disease is the development and progression of irreversible respiratory disease in the absence of clinical symptoms. Accurate thorac…
Borne Back Ceaselessly
At the outset of the Cold War, George Kennan wrote in the famous “X” article that “the United States need only measure up to its own best traditions and prove itself worthy of preservation as a great nation.” He went on to argue that the Soviet challenge would have the effect of pulling Americans together and that they would accept the “political leadership that history plainly intended them to bear.” In 1995 Fred Halliday asked Kennan if the Wes…

Adolescents’ dietary behaviour
In the UK, school food standards have looked to improve the nutritional profile of school food provision and the choices made; however, adolescents' choices tend to bias towards micronutrient poor and energy dense options. This study aimed to explore how adolescents make their school food choices, along with how they engage with their environments whilst selecting food. Seven focus group interviews took place with adolescents (n = 28; 13-14 years…

Chromium Monitoring in Water by Colorimetry Using Optimised 1,5-Diphenylcarbazide Method
Chromium contamination of drinking water has become a global problem due to its extensive use in industry. The most commonly used methods for chromium detection in water are laboratory-based methods, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. Although these methods are highly selective and sensitive, they require expensive maintenance and highly trained staff. Therefore, there is a growing demand for cost effective and portable…
When the center held
President Gerald R. Ford spent just under 900 days in the White House, not much below Kennedy's 1,000 days. Yet the Ford presidency, unelected to office, is frequently skipped over in US surveys of foreign policy, foreign relations or history; it is frequently treated as an appendix to the Nixon years. The fact that Kissinger stayed on as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State for a part of the new presidency also lends a narrative of c…
When the world seemed new
With just under 70 pages of notes, many ending in ‘BPL, Bush Presidential Library’, Jeffrey Engel's study of the first Bush presidency is likely to remain a reference-point for decades to come. Engel, formerly located at the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M University, had sustained and systematic access to the sources, buttressed by direct engagement with protagonists and their publications and memoirs. When the world seemed new is a stead…
On grand strategy
Just over ten years ago, Michael Cox titled a well-known article in this journal: ‘Is the United States in decline—again?’ (International Affairs 83: 4, July 2007). Apart from surveying and analysing the history and historiography of US decline, he argued that such literature returned in cyclical fashion after a period of calamity or downturn, and each time there was the attendant discourse on the proverbial need to ‘pull up the socks’. Following…
American imperialism and the state, 1893–1921
This is an important book in many ways. First for the topic itself, as Colin D. Moore's thesis provides an original contribution to our understanding of US imperialism set within the period that is usually conventionally treated. Second, the book also contributes to our understanding of imperialism generally and therefore to the historiography of its US variant. Third, American imperialism and the state, 1893–1921 continues to chip away at the no…
A rift in the earth
Memory matters a great deal in international affairs and International Relations. The artefacts of memory help nations not only to define their identity, but also—as in the case of memorials—honour and remember the dead. Ultimately, these artefacts usually take on an intensely national form. Because they are symbols of the collective, the nation, they frequently echo the traditional narratives of the nation, while occluding or distancing others. …
Zbigniew Brzezinski
In a recent Financial Times interview Henry Kissinger bemoaned the loss of Zbigniew Brzezinski; he opined that there was no longer any serious debate: Brzezinski and he thought about the big issues, world orders and the like. Kissinger stalks the pages of this magnificent intellectual biography of a character who was five years his junior and, despite the frequent comparisons, was an independent force in many different ways. Brzezinski has not at…
Us versus them
Douglas Little is well known in US diplomatic history circles for his work on US foreign policy towards the Middle East. Us versus them is in many ways an update and extension to his earlier work on American orientalism (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2003), maintaining the same broad framework derived from Edward Said's monumental Orientalism (Routledge, 1978). In US diplomatic history, the attention given to Islamism and the M…
Afterimages
Afterimages is a powerful book. Contained within its brevity are fundamental questions on the way in which we look at the world, how we see it and, more particularly, the way we regard war and US foreign policy over the last half century from Vietnam to the open-ended wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, clustered within the singular ‘war on terror’. Liam Kennedy notes in his ‘ecology’ of images and photojournalism that ‘as the nature of warfare changes…
The United States and Europe in the Twentieth Century
The relationship between the US and Europe in the 20th century is one of the key considerations in any understanding of international relations/international history during this period. David Ryan first sets the context by looking at the trends and traditions of America’s foreign relations in the 19th century, and then considers the changing nature of America's vision of Europe from 1900 to the present. The book examines America’s response to and…
Confronting political Islam
John Owen's contribution is in the tradition of a long line of literature that has examined the ‘West's’ engagement with Islamism in the Middle East. In recent decades, the debate has been dominated and sometimes elided by the ‘clash of civilizations’ thesis advanced by Samuel Huntington in 1993 and the avalanche of responses it generated, in what Edward Said referred to as the ‘clash of ignorance’ and which Fred Halliday called ‘the myth of conf…
Deceit on the road to war
When, in 1999, Fredrik Logevall completed his book, Choosing war (University of California Press), on Lyndon B. Johnson's approach to Vietnam, he reflected in the conclusion that something like that could happen again. In part, Johnson got away with the arguments and strategies he put forward because of the primacy of the president in foreign policy-making and because of the lack of effective opposition. The systems of checks and balances failed …
Democracy promotion as US foreign policy

Democracy and democracy promotion are an integral part of the benign metanarrative of US diplomatic history and foreign policy; it is taken as almost axiomatic that this is what the United States engages in or at least seeks to promote, given its founding val…

American reckoning
American reckoning is an engaged book, and all the more powerful for it. In its closing paragraph Christian Appy asserts: ‘But the public is not blameless’. If Americans continue to believe in their exceptionalism, to acquiesce in the misuse of US power so evident over the past decade and a half, if they trust that US force is being used for good, the likelihood that US intervention and militarism will continue is ‘guaranteed’. He concludes: ‘Per…
Forever Vietnam
The title Forever Vietnam does not simply refer to the frequency with which the Vietnam War is invoked in US culture and politics each time the country ponders the need for foreign intervention. By the time George W. Bush had left office, there were over 30 books that either compared the Iraq War to the Vietnam War or traced the influence of the first on the second. The history and historiography of US intervention since the mid-1970s all too fre…

U.s. Foreign Policy and the Other
John Quincy Adams warned Americans not to search abroad for monsters to destroy, yet such figures have frequently habituated the discourses of U.S. foreign policy. This collection of essays focuses on counter-identities in American consciousness to explain how foreign policies and the discourse surrounding them develop. Whether it is the seemingly ubiquitous evil of Hitler during World War II or the more complicated perceptions of communism throu…
The United States and Decolonization
The end of the Cold War has not meant the end of historical inquiry for scholars of American foreign relations. In fact, the disintegration of the Soviet empire into its squabbling constituent nationalities suggests that the most important international dynamic of the last half century may not have been the East-West contest, but rather the emergence of new national states through the process of decolonization. As one U.S. official noted in 1946:…

Framing September 11
Immediately after September 11, Washington and US culture more generally created the framework within which it responded to those crimes. Various symbols, devices, rhetorical strategies and images were employed that soon obscured the broader meanings of September 11 and framed the US response within the benign narratives, the constructs of nationhood, and the images that would link that date to the road to war. The semiotic struggle of mid-Septem…

Judgment in Fiction
In this paper, I show that in order to gain an understanding of the facts about fiction it is more fruitful to pursue an analysis of judgment in fiction than an analysis of truth in fiction. I do so in two steps. First I take the analyses of truth in fiction which David Lewis provides in “Truth in Fiction”, which are formulated in terms of possible worlds, and provide counterpart analyses of judgment in fiction, formulated in terms of (mental) mo…

Discourse Structure and Cartesian Scepticism
I provide a new account of the nature of Cartesian scepticism, in which I show that if we draw on the notion of discourse structure we can show exactly how Cartesian scepticism is induced and that it is, in principle, impossible to dispel. The account proceeds by showing that, given the nature of discourse structure, there is no absolute distinction between what we normally think of as factual discourse—as discourse about “the actual world” - and…

Americanisation and anti-Americanism at the periphery. Nicaragua and the Sandinistas
Anti-Americanism in Nicaragua arose from a dialectical relationship between US power and influence and opposition to it. The expressions of anti-Americanism were directed against American power and intervention and not towards some of the shared values such as liberty, self-determination and democracy. The Sandinista revolution was largely successful because it coalessed around a ‘coalition of revulsion’ against the US client regime. It resisted …

Toward the Development of a New Self-Report Alexithymia Scale
Addressing methodological problems in the development of existing scales for measuring alexithymia, this study reports the development of a new self-report scale. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) was devised with concern for theoretical congruence with the alexithymia construct, independence of social desirability response bias, and internal consistency. Initially, 41 items were administered to 542 college students. Twenty-six items meeting pr…

Opera outside of itself
In this article, the author looks at the increasing interrelationships and convergences between media and explores the potential of a conception of digital opera that negotiates the current hybrid landscape of media and their histories. A notion of unity underpinning both film and opera is examined in relation to the deconstructive strategies of experimental music, in particular, operas by Robert Ashley (Perfect Lives, 1980) and John Cage (Europe…
