A social practice theory approach to exploring the ubiquity of quizzes in dementia care settings
Quizzes are a ubiquitous part of the dementia social care landscape. This article explores why. Using an ethnographic approach which draws on close analysis of communication, we examine dementia quizzes as a ‘social practice’, and what such a lens can tell us about their popularity in social care settings. Vignettes of real interactions drawn from ten different quizzes recorded in four different group settings attended by 28 people living with de…
Exploring the Added Value of Inclusive Dementia Research Throughout (and Beyond) the Research Process
The need for the 'voice' of people living with dementia to be present in research has been gaining prominence in recent years. This has been realised through the rise of 'inclusive research', seeking to redress unequal power dynamics that have long dominated research. However, the impact and merit of inclusive research have been questioned, with questions around what value the involvement of disabled people as co-researchers adds to the research …
Future lived experience
People with a diagnosis of dementia have often been the subjects of qualitative research; by contrast, this article sets out to reflect on the positioning of people living with dementia in inclusive or 'co-produced' research and the connections between the personal and the collective voice in research. The article seeks to explore the unique hallmarks of inclusive dementia research, compared with some of the other models of inclusive research. Dr…

Stress Reduces Diastolic Function in Youth
OBJECTIVE: Research regarding the influence of mental stress (MS) on heart function focused primarily on heart contractility. We hypothesized that MS results in attenuated diastolic function (DF) as early as in adolescence and this effect may differ by race and sex. METHODS: 161 normotensive adolescents (81 blacks and 80 females) performed resting (control) and MS (experimental) conditions on separate visits. Visits lasted for 3 hours (1-hour res…
Anger Suppression and Adiposity Modulate Association Between ADRB2 Haplotype and Cardiovascular Stress Reactivity
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine how variation in the beta-2 adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2), in combination with the moderating influences of race, body mass index (BMI), and anger expression style (anger-in, anger-out), affects blood pressure (BP) at rest and in response to acute laboratory stress. METHODS: Four hundred fifty adolescents (mean age = 18.5 +/- 2.7 years; 228 [124 males] whites and 222 [110 males] blacks compl…
Impact of Meditation on Resting and Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Youth
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a meditation program on resting and ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate in youth. Methods: Data from 73 middle school students (age 12.3 ± 0.6 years) randomly assigned by classroom to either meditation (N = 34) or health education control (N = 39) groups were analyzed. The meditation groups engaged in 10-minute sessions at school and at home after school each day for 3 months…

Plasma Endothelin-1 Release During Acute Stress
Objectives The purposes of this study were to examine possible ethnic and sex differences in plasma ET-1 levels at rest and in response to acute stress and to examine relationships between ET-1 and vasoconstrictive-mediated BP reactivity to stress. Methods Two hundred twenty-two adolescents (mean age = 18.5 ± 2.8 years; 130 [70 males] EAs and 92 [48 males] AAs) completed two stressors (video game, forehead cold). Hemodynamic measures and blood sa…
The Effects of Life Events on Cardiovascular Reactivity to Behavioral Stressors As a Function of Socioeconomic Status, Ethnicity, and Sex
OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were 1) to examine the effects of stressful life events on cardiovascular reactivity to acute laboratory stressors in youth and 2) to determine whether these effects varied as a function of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and/or sex. METHODS: Four hundred eighty-three youths (mean age = 16.7 years; 249 Caucasian Americans [126 males, 123 females] and 234 African Americans [109 males, 125 females]) completed …
Effects of Transcendental Meditation[registered Sign] on Cardiovascular Reactivity in Adolescents With High Normal Blood Pressure
Acute Effects of Transcendental Meditation1 on Hemodynamic Functioning in Middle-Aged Adults
OBJECTIVE: Increased peripheral vasoconstriction (ie, total peripheral resistance, or TPR) has been implicated as playing an important role in the early development of essential hypertension. Some studies have demonstrated that Transcendental Meditation (TM) reduces high blood pressure, but the hemodynamic adjustments behind these blood pressure reductions have not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to provide a preliminary investigation …
Nations behaving badly
Nations have always behaved badly. As unethical actions taken by nations cause increasingly severe problems because of the development of weapons of mass destruction, it has now become imperative to alter these age‐old behaviour patterns. Ethical foreign policy is now probably necessary for survival

Determinants of Endothelium-Dependent Femoral Artery Vasodilation in Youth
OBJECTIVE: Decreased endothelium-dependent arterial dilation to reactive hyperemia has been shown in adults to be associated with various manifestations of cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular risk factors. In a sample of children, we examined the relationships between flow-mediated femoral artery dilation and anthropometric, demographic, cardiovascular, and serum lipid variables that have been associated with cardiovascular diseases. METHO…
Validation of the MCMI-III PTSD Scale among Combat Veterans
The new MCMI-III Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) scale was validated on 104 combat veterans who were divided into two groups, PTSD Treatment Group and Non-PTSD Treatment Group. PTSD status was carefully determined by clinical interview and therapists' reports. The Combat Exposure Scale, the Mississippi Scale for Combat-related PTSD, and the Impact of Events Scale were also given. Analysis showed that the MCMI-III PTSD scale had a low interna…
Pressor Reactivity, Ethnicity, and 24-Hour Ambulatory Monitoring in Children from Hypertensive Families
We assessed blood pressure responses of a multiethnic (Black and White) sample of 120 children of hypertensive families to orthostasis, video game, forehead cold, and dynamic exercise, and monitored the children's ambulatory pressure 24 hours later. Thirteen children were studied twice (1-year stability). The Black children exhibited higher 24-hour ambulatory systolic and diastolic pressures than the White children. Regardless of ethnicity, peak …
Ethnicity, family history of hypertension and patterns of hemodynamic reactivity in boys
This study compared blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, vascular resistance, and cardiac output responses to a video game challenge and forehead cold stressor in 6- to 15-year-old males who varied in ethnicity and family history of essential hypertension. Controlling for age, significant baseline differences were obtained with black boys exhibiting higher systolic and diastolic pressures than their white cohorts. Positive family history ch…
Relationship between Family Environment and Children's Hemodynamic Responses to Stress
Because interpersonal relationships may have an impact on the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, the authors examined the prospective relationship of family functioning upon hemodynamic stress responses in 87 6- to 8-year-old children. The parents completed the cohesion, conflict, expressiveness, and control subscales of the Family Environment Scale; 2 years later, the authors assessed the children's hemodynamic responses to postural chan…
Hostility
The relationship between hostility and coronary artery disease may be partially mediated by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. This study examined the relationship between hostility, lifestyle behaviors, and physical risk factors in 138 adult men and women. Subjects completed the Cook and Medley Hostility Scale (Ho scale) and self-reports of their dietary habits, consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, and physical activity. Recent findings indicated …
Relationship between the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory and the Millon-II
This study addressed two issues, the interrelationship between the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) and the Millon II (MCMI-II) and the value of the new personality scales, Aggressive and Self-defeating, in a sample with diagnoses of combat-related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. 100 confirmed cases of combat-related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder were given a battery of measures including both Millon inventories and the Minnesota Multip…

The ‘Figurae’ of Joachim of Fiore
La Luna E I Falò
The Shakespearian half-verse, ‘Ripeness is all’, that Pavese borrowed as an epigraph for his last novel has invited the attention of critics for the past thirty years. It is natural to suppose that it relates in some way to the work itself and perhaps offers an authorial comment upon it. But though this is a plausible, it is not an unquestionable, assumption
La Luna E I Falò
Narrated and Narrating I in Il Giardino Dei Finzi–contini
Narrated and Narrating I in Il Giardino Dei Finzi–contini
The importance of distinguishing between the narrated and the narrating I in the autobiographical novel has been brought into sharper focus by Genette in his study on Proust, which has also shown that ‘point of view’ (an approach to narrative dear to Anglo-American criticism) is inadequate for differentiating between a first and third person technique. When a story is focalized through a particular character the viewpoint will be the same whether…
