Towards a new conditionality? : The convergence of international development, nation brands and soft power in the British National Security Strategy

Nation brands are intended to act as vehicles for economic development. However, the role of the nation brands of developed countries in shaping the economic development of developing countries has not been explored to the same degree. Using the example of Britain’s 2010 National Security Strategy, this article argues that the two-decade long decline in conditional aid has been superseded by effor

Canonicity, canon, canonizable and the implications of transcultural communication

Harold Bloom, in the Western Canon, selected only twenty-six sine qua non writers and, invoking Giambattista Vico’s New Science, where human history was distributed in three phases – Theocratic, Aristocratic, and Democratic – introduced another one, the Chaotic Age (represented by Freud, Proust, Joyce, and Kafka).1 Bloom did not expel this newly proposed Age, as it was also the container of beauty

Spatial relationship between telocytes, interstitial cells of Cajal and the enteric nervous system in the human ileum and colon

Telocytes (TCs) are recently described interstitial cells, present in almost all human organs. Among many other functions, TCs regulate gastrointestinal motility together with the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). TCs and ICCs have close localization in the human myenteric plexus; however, the exact spatial relationship cannot be clearly examined by previously applied double immunofluorescence/c

What do doctors mean when they talk about teamwork? : Possible implications for interprofessional care

The concept of teamwork has been associated with improved patient safety, more effective care and a better work environment. However, the academic literature on teamwork is pluralistic, and there are reports on discrepancies between theory and practice. Furthermore, healthcare professionals’ direct conceptualizations of teamwork are sometimes missing in the research.In this study, we examine docto

High-order harmonic generation in xenon : Intensity and propagation effects

We present experimental results on high-order harmonic generation in xenon, using a Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm). The harmonic generation efficiency is studied as a function of the laser intensity in the 1013 W/cm2 range. The harmonic conversion rates show a significant change of behavior when the medium becomes ionized (∼1013 W/cm2). This effect can be understood as the change of the nonlinear response
