A Tale of Two Trends: Cancer Mortality Rises and Falls With Public Health Efforts

Unlike a majority of the diseases that humanity has encountered, succumbed to or overcame, cancer is a disease older than the human race and has always been prevalent in our history of medicine. The oldest known record of cancer is breast cancer (BC), described in the Edwin Smith Papyrus in 3000 BC as masses in the breast that are incurable.1 The subsequent Ebers Papyrus, written in 1500 BC, further describes other tumors of the skin, uterus, and gastrointestinal tract.1 The Greek physician Hippocrates (460-375 BC) is credited with coining the term "cancer", after associating the moving invasive protrusions of tumor masses to the claws of a crab.1 Throughout antiquity, various cultures attempted to treat these masses with cauterization, crude surgery, bloodletting, salts, herbal remedies, and heavy metal poisons, practices that were often fatal and remained unchanged for over 3000 years until the advent of modern medicine.1

The Business of Learning: Neoliberalism's Impact on Higher Education and Athletics

The Business of Learning: Neoliberalism's Impact on Higher Education and Athletics

Perry

tredition GmbH
2024
nidottu
Neoliberalism has reshaped higher education and athletics, transforming universities into market-driven entities where financial considerations often eclipse educational values. This ideology promotes privatization, competition, and commercialization, leading universities to view athletics as lucrative ventures for branding and revenue. Consequently, there's been a surge in corporate sponsorships, media rights deals, and emphasis on recruiting star athletes to enhance institutional prestige. Critics argue this shift prioritizes profit over academic integrity, diverting resources away from core educational missions and exacerbating inequalities between well-funded athletic programs and others. Moreover, student-athletes face pressures akin to professional athletes, raising ethical concerns about exploitation and educational priorities. Despite claims that successful athletics programs boost institutional visibility and funding, the dominance of neoliberal principles prompts ongoing debates about the role of sports in higher education. Balancing financial imperatives with educational ideals remains a pivotal challenge for universities navigating the neoliberal landscape in athletics and beyond.

The Outrageous Idea of Christian Teaching

The Outrageous Idea of Christian Teaching

Perry Glanzer; Nathan Alleman; George Marsden

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
sidottu
Hundreds of thousands of professors claim Christian as their primary identity, and teaching as their primary vocational responsibility. Yet, in the contemporary university the intersection of these two identities often is a source of fear, misunderstanding, and moral confusion. How does being a Christian change one's teaching? Indeed, should it? Inspired by George Marsden's 1997 book The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship, this book draws on a survey of more than 2,300 Christian professors from 48 different institutions in North America, to reveal a wide range of thinking about faith-informed teaching. Placing these empirical findings alongside the wider scholarly conversation about the role of identity-informed teaching, Perry L. Glanzer and Nathan F. Alleman argue that their Christian identity can and should inform professors' teaching in the contemporary pluralistic university. The authors provide a nuanced alternative to those who advocate for restraining the influence of one's extra-professional identity and those who, in the name of authenticity, promote the full integration of one's primary identity into the classroom. The book charts new ground regarding how professors think about Christian teaching specifically, as well as how they should approach identity-informed teaching more generally.

The AIDS Generation

The AIDS Generation

Perry Halkitis

Oxford University Press Inc
2015
nidottu
For young gay men who came of age in the United States in the 1980s, the HIV/AIDS epidemic was a formative experience in fear, hardship, and loss. Those who were diagnosed before 1996 suffered an exceptionally high rate of mortality, and the survivors--both the infected individuals and those close to them--today constitute a "bravest generation" in American history. The AIDS Generation: Stories of Survival and Resilience examines the strategies for survival and coping employed by these HIV-positive gay men, who together constitute the first generation of long-term survivors of the disease. Through interviews conducted by the author, it narrates the stories of gay men who have survived since the early days of the epidemic; documents and delineates the strategies and behaviors enacted by men of this generation to survive it; and examines the extent to which these approaches to survival inform and are informed by the broad body of literature on resilience and health. The stories and strategies detailed here, all used to combat the profound physical, emotional, and social challenges faced by those in the crosshairs of the AIDS epidemic, provide a gateway for understanding how individuals cope with chronic and life-threatening diseases. Halkitis takes readers on a journey of first-hand data collection (the interviews themselves), the popular culture representations of these phenomena, and his own experiences as one of the men of the AIDS generation. This riveting account will be of interest to health practitioners and historians throughout the clinical and social sciences--or to anyone with an interest in this important chapter in social history.

Out in Time

Out in Time

Perry N. Halkitis

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
sidottu
The civil rights of LGBTQ people have slowly yet steadily strengthened since the Stonewall Riots of June, 1969. Despite enormous opposition from some political segments and the catastrophic effects of the AIDS crisis, the last five decades have seen continual improvement in the conditions of the lives of LGBTQ individuals in the United States. As such, the realities and challenges faced by a young gay man coming of age and coming out in the 1960s is, in many profound ways, different from the experiences of a young gay man coming of age and coming out today. Out in Time explores the life experiences of three generations of gay men -- the Stonewall, AIDS, Queer generations -- arguing that while there are generational differences in the lived experiences of young gay men, and each one confronts its own unique historical events, realities, and socio-political conditions, there are consistencies across time that define and unify the identity formation of gay men. Guided by the vast research literature on gay identity formation and coming out, the ideas and themes explored here are seen through the oral histories of a diverse set of fifteen gay men, five from each generation. Out in Time demonstrates how early life challenges define and shape the life courses of gay men, demarcating both the specific time-bound challenges encountered by each generation and the universal challenges encountered by gay men coming of age across all generations and the conditions that define their lives.

Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms

Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms

Perry A. Frey; Adrian D. Hegeman

Oxford University Press Inc
2007
sidottu
Books dealing with the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions were written a generation ago. They included volumes entitled Bioorganic Mechanisms, I and II by T.C. Bruice and S.J. Benkovic, published in 1965, the volume entitled Catalysis in Chemistry and Enzymology by W.P. Jencks in 1969, and the volume entitled Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms by C.T. Walsh in 1979. The Walsh book was based on the course taught by W.P. Jencks and R.H. Abeles at Brandeis University in the 1960's and 1970's. By the late 1970's, much more could be included about the structures of enzymes and the kinetics and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions themselves, and less emphasis was placed on chemical models. Walsh's book was widely used in courses on enzymatic mechanisms for many years. Much has happened in the field of mechanistic enzymology in the past 15 to 20 years. Walsh's book is both out-of-date and out-of-focus in today's world of enzymatic mechanisms. There is no longer a single volume or a small collection of volumes to which students can be directed to obtain a clear understanding of the state of knowledge regarding the chemicals mechanisms by which enzymes catalyze biological reactions. There is no single volume to which medicinal chemists and biotechnologists can refer on the subject of enzymatic mechanisms. Practitioners in the field have recognized a need for a new book on enzymatic mechanisms for more than ten years, and several, including Walsh, have considered undertaking to modernize Walsh's book. However, these good intentions have been abandoned for one reason or another. The great size of the knowledge base in mechanistic enzymology has been a deterrent. It seems too large a subject for a single author, and it is difficult for several authors to coordinate their work to mutual satisfaction. This text by Perry A. Frey and Adrian D. Hegeman accomplishes this feat, producing the long-awaited replacement for Walsh's classic text.

Politics and Society in Great Yarmouth 1660-1722

Politics and Society in Great Yarmouth 1660-1722

Perry Gauci

Clarendon Press
1996
sidottu
This is the first intensive study of the political development of a major English town during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Perry Gauci examines the activities of the local oligarchy over a period which begins in upheaval, in the aftermath of civil war, and ends in the relative stability of early Georgian England. He brings a fresh perspective to such important episodes as the borough regulation of the 1680s, and the `rage of party' after 1689, by broadening the sphere of `politics' to encompass provincial experiences. He examines the role of the town corporation, a little-studied organ of local government, whose membership reveals much about the relationship between social and political change in this period. Gauci challenges accepted views on these corporations, showing them to be much more dynamic, and less self-interested, than is usually supposed. His analysis of the structures of local politics transcends local history and reveals a great deal about the influence of national authorities over provincial life. It is a significant contribution to the urban history of England.

European and International Media Law

European and International Media Law

Perry Keller

Oxford University Press
2011
sidottu
Over the past half century, western democracies have lead efforts to entrench the economic and political values of liberal democracy into the foundations of European and international public order. As this book details, the relationship between the media and the state has been at the heart of those efforts. In that relationship, often framed in constitutional principles, the liberal democratic state has celebrated the liberty to publish information and entertainment content, while also forcefully setting the limits for harmful or offensive expression. It is thus a relationship rooted in the state's need for security, authority, and legitimacy as much as liberalism's powerful arguments for economic and political freedom. In Europe, this long running endeavour has yielded a market based, liberal democratic regional order that has profound consequences for media law and policy in the member states. This book examines the economic and human rights aspects of European media law, which is not only comparatively coherent but also increasingly restrictive, rejecting alternatives that are well within the traditions of liberalism. Parallel efforts in the international sphere have been markedly less successful. In international media law, the division between trade and human rights remains largely unabridged and, in the latter field, liberal democratic concepts of free speech are influential but rarely decisive. In the international sphere states are moreover quick to assert their rights to autonomy. Nonetheless, the current communications revolution has overturned fundamental assumptions about the media and the state around the world, eroding the boundaries between domestic and foreign media as well as mass and personal communication. European and International Media Law sets legal and policy developments in the context of this fast changing, globalized media and communications sector.

The London Private Banker

The London Private Banker

Perry Gauci

Oxford University Press
2025
sidottu
At the Restoration of 1660, there was no distinctive banking sector, and banking services were provided by a variety of traders, most notably the London goldsmiths. In the later seventeenth century, the first specialists appeared against a background of rapid economic change, and they were often attacked for their greed and self-interest. Historic associations with usury were slow to dissipate, but in the mid-Georgian period a more distinctive cadre of bankers had established itself, thanks to their pivotal role in the service of both landed and commercial elites. These private bankers provided core retail services to thousands of customers, and their premises became well-known sites within the metropolitan landscape. By 1800, the characteristics of the profession were well-developed, to the extent that its members were often seen as establishment figures by both critics and admirers, lauded or vilified in turn for their contribution to national prosperity or instability. The great financial crisis of 1825–6 had a disastrous impact on many private bankers, heralding the rise of the joint-stock bank, but their professional ethos endured as a permanent legacy of their Georgian achievement. The London Private Banker: A Social History, 1660–1825 examines the societal impact of the London private bankers between 1660 and 1825 for the first time. Economic historians have clarified their commercial development, but their distinctive role as retail bankers offers insight into an array of dynamic social forces in eighteenth-century Britian, especially the relationship between the middling and upper orders. Using a sample of some 300 partners, the book examines the development of London private banking from its uncertain late Stuart origins to its established place on the late Georgian high street. Their experiences illuminate the solidity and adaptability of the social order, and their importance is tracked through their commercial services, public lives, and private pleasures. Their advancement renders them a remarkable social phenomenon with a uniquely broad archival record, whose influence ranked alongside the metropolitan merchants and the early industrialists, and whose study has wide-ranging implications for broader understandings of social, cultural, and political life in Georgian England.

The Politics of Trade

The Politics of Trade

Perry Gauci

Oxford University Press
2001
sidottu
This book examines the political and social impact of the English overseas merchant during this key era of state development. Historians have increasingly recognized the significance of this period as one of commercial and political transition, but relatively little thought has been given to the perspective of the overseas traders, whose activities transended these dynamic arenas. Analsis of the role of merchants in public life highlights their important contribution to England's rise as a commercial power of the first rank, and illuminates the fundamerntal political changes of the time. Case-studies of London, Liverpool, and York reveal the intricate workings of mercantile politics, while studies of the press and Parliament illustrate the increasing prominence of the trader on the national stage. The author's pioneering approach shows how crucial the political accomodation which the merchant class secured with the landed gentry was to the country's success in the eighteenth century.
