The image of the Flying Dutchman inthe literature of Romanticism

The paper touches upon the peculiarities of the so called “marine theme” in Romantic art as a whole, and its central image – the Flying Dutchman, in particular. The etymology of this image, as well its numerous literary interpretations make up the subject of the research. Three key literary works of Romanticism, the ballad by S.T. Coleridge, the libretto by R. Wagner, and the novel by H. Melville, are in the spotlight of the given paper. The roots of the Flying Dutchman can be traced in the texts by Apollonius of Rhodes and Homer – their legendary books“Argonautica” and “Odyssey”respectively, as well as in the Norse mythology, in Edda –a notorious Naglfar, the ship made of deadmen’s nails. At the Age of Discovery the story of a mysterious ship came to its final form. Being first mentioned in various European folk tales, with the course of time the plot became highly popular in late XVIII – XIX centuries. In Romantic literature the legend of the Flying Dutchman transformed into the allegoryof a man punished by Heaven for being too proud to resign himself to God’s will – a symbol of purgatory for sinners begging for mercy and forgiveness to rest in peace. Keywords: Flying Dutchman, Romanticism, Coleridge, Wagner, Melville.

The Historical World of Peter Gay

Peter Gay, an American historian, died in May 2015. The aim of this paper is to eulogize his life as well as to shed some light on the works authored by him. His books include The enlightenment: An Interpretation, winner of the National Book Award in 1967, Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider, a perennial bestseller, and The Bourgeois Experience: Victoria to Freud, multi-volume analysis of the bourgeoisie of the Victorian Age. As a non-religious Jew trapped in a Germanic culture, Peter Gay had a strong bond with Freud, who was in the same kind of predicament in an Austrian setting. That may explain why Gay had a special interest in Freud, and why he used Freudian scheme in his depiction of historical scenes. Not only as a historian but also as a critic of modern art, Gay left an un-ignorable imprint on the students of history and the reading public. As a person deeply grateful for the form and contents of his writings, I pray for him. May rest in peace, my mentor.

Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam-"A Man Beyond Science".

Dear Sir, The extraordinary charismatic personality of Dr. Kalam has sensitized every individual in our nation. His reach to the people was beyond the bar of caste, color and creed. An ordinary man, who came from a humble family of Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, India, reached to the highest national rank by being the 11th President in Indian Republic. He has been a very sincere worker of his field and was a continuous source of inspiration for all generation of people. Among the awards which he deservingly earned in his lifetime, few of them include Padambhushan (1981), Padma Vibushan (1990), Bharat Ratna (1997) King Charles Medal-II (2007) and many more. However, the greatest award was the respect he commanded among common man and specially youth for whom he is an unyielding source of inspiration. His speeches and his perspective towards “Science and its Utilization for People” are a worth beyond words. He graduated from Madras Institute of Technology in aerospace engineering and later remained associated with Defense Research and Development Organization for nearly 40 years. He started his career with a project of developing a small helicopter for Indian army. Dr Kalam developed India’s first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-3) which successfully placed the satellite, Rohini in the near orbit of earth in July 1980 and made India an exclusive member of Space Club. Subsequently, he played important role in development of missiles like Agni and Prithvi which made India a self sufficient in its Defense Power. He was called as “Missile Man” for his contribution in missiles development. Dr Kalam has played a pivotal role as Chief scientific Advisor to Prime Minister between July 1992 to December 1999, it was during this time that “Pokhran-II” the nuclear test was conducted. His hard work in this field made India a Nuclear Power. Dr Kalam had significant contributions to medical science which are less discussed in Indian media and literature. He advocated, the role of biotechnology in medical science research, emphasized the use of science and technology for the benefit of common man. India’s first indigenous low cost cardiac stent was developed by him in collaboration with Dr. Somaraju Bhupathiraju known as Kalam-Raju stent during 1994 – 1996. It reduced the cost of stents by 1/4th compared to prevailing market rate. Approximately 2000 Kalam-Raju cardiac stent has been fitted to many needy patients and showed the path of affordable health care [1]. Although, the medical field has progressed to drug eluting stents, this invention was a landmark in its time. In 2012, they developed a tablet computer for purpose of rural health care service, which was named the ‘Kalam-Raju tablet’. One of his great achievement was the development of light weight calipers for polio affected children by using carbon-carbon and carbon-polymer materials (glass-filled polypropylene which are used in missiles) during 1995 – 1996, thus reducing weight of the caliper to 1/10th of the original weight. Over 50,000 children were benefitted with these calipers which reduced their pain significantly, while walking. Throughout his life, he took up the mission to ignite and inspire young minds towards national spirit by meeting school students across the country. He has also written many thought provoking and inspirational books such as “ Wings of Fire”, “ Ignited Minds” and “ India 2020”, which has become house hold names with youth of India. During the last decade, Dr. Kalam has addressed over five million youth below the age of 17 and inspired them to become an active participant of India Vision 2020. He had addressed several Children Science Congresses across the country. Though, everyone who is born has to leave for the heavenly abode, but Dr. Kalam has left the legacy of his scientific achievements, thoughts and teachings as a source of inspiration for generation to come in future India and the world. Today, we really are gratefull to the almighty for giving us the opportunity to live in an era when we could share the sunlight with such a great personality. May his soul rest in peace.

In memory of professor Soon Ho Nam

Professor Soon Ho Nam, a dear colleague and teacher of our medical community passed away on August 30, 2015, at the age of 62. Soon Ho Nam was born in Daegu, Korea on June 6, 1953. He attended Yonsei University College of Medicine and graduated in 1977. After completing his residency at the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine of Severance Hospital, he became part of the faculty at Severance in 1984. Professor Nam began his career as a specialist in cardiovascular anesthesia, and was a pioneer in the field of transplantation anesthesia. He laid the foundation for liver transplantation anesthesia at Severance Hospital, and on July 7, 1996, the first braindeath donor liver transplantation was performed there. Because of Professor Soon Ho Nam's pioneering work in this field, hundreds of liver transplantations have been successfully performed at Severance Hospital since the 1990s, none of which would have been possible without his wealth of experience and knowledge. Professor Nam also went on to supervise the first liver transplant surgeries of Gangnam Severance Hospital, Wonju Severance Christian Hospital and Bundang Cha Medical Center. Being committed to sharing his academic knowledge with colleagues and bettering the anesthesia protocol for organ transplantation surgery, he published the Transplantation Protocol booklet in 2007 and founded the Severance Liver Transplantation Anesthesia Research Group in 2013. One of Professor Nam's biggest achievements was the work he did for the Korean Journal of Anesthesiology (KJA). He first started his work as assistant administrator of the editorial board in 2003, and served as editor in chief for 3 years starting in 2005. During those 3 years, he took a leadership role in improving the standards of the KJA, and was determined to make it into an international academic journal. After two years of hard work, the KJA homepage opened in English in July of 2009 (http://ekja.org), and its first issue in English was published in January of 2010 (Volume 58, Issue 1). He also introduced the DOI system and XML to the KJA for international standardization. Because of this change, the KJA has been indexed by PubMed, PubMed Central and SCOPUS since 2010. This made it possible to share the journal with clinicians and researchers all over the world. Despite his busy schedule as a clinician and teacher, he was known for never missing a meeting, seminar or conference that was involved with the future of the KJA. He would hold workshops and seminars for fellow anesthesiologists and encourage them to participate as editorial advisers and reviewers. When it came to the improvement of the KJA, Professor Nam was not hesitant to reach out to experts in all fields of medicine for advice. The relentless effort and dedication that Professor Nam showed us in this process was extraordinary, and if not for his strong commitment, the KJA would not be what it is today. We will continue to follow in his footsteps and keep on working in honor of him to take the KJA to another level. Professor Nam's colleagues remember him as warm, generous, and always humble. A truly genuine person, his goodness would affect those in his company. Amidst all the tension and stress that would arise in the operating room, his leadership, calmness and sense of humor helped the team perform at their best. Those of us that have been blessed with the opportunity to work with, and learn from him, will know that we are a better person for knowing him. Even during his last months while battling cancer, he selflessly worked around the clock at the operating room and attended research meetings and conferences. By donating his body to Yonsei University College of Medicine, he dedicated his life, to the very end, to teaching students and improving modern medicine. While his absence is an irreparable loss to the Korean Society of Anesthesiology, we will honor his memory and wishes by carrying on the work of our Society and the KJA. May his soul rest in peace and may God console his family.

“I didn't know her, but…”: parasocial mourning of mediated deaths on Facebook RIP pages

This article examines the use of six Danish “Rest in Peace” or (RIP) memorial pages. The article focuses on the relation between news media and RIP page use, in relation to general communicative practices on these pages. Based on an analysis of press coverage of the deaths of six young people and a close analysis of 1,015 comments extracted from the RIP pages created to memorialize them, it is shown that their deaths attracted considerable media attention, as did the RIP pages themselves. Comment activity seem to reflect the news stories in the way the commenters refer to the context of death and the emotional distress they experience, but mainly comments on the RIP pages are conventional expressions of sympathy and “RIP” wishes. The article concludes that public RIP pages might be understood as virtual spontaneous shrines, affording an emerging practice of “RIP-ing.”

In Memory

In Memory David Paul Deavel, Associate Editor Just before the printing of this issue of Logos we were informed of the death of Fr. Edward T. Oakes, SJ. Fr. Oakes, who taught at New York University, Regis University, and the University of St. Mary of the Lake, entered the Society of Jesus in 1966 and was ordained in 1979. An academic theologian who made his name primarily on the basis of his work on Hans Urs von Balthasar, Oakes was nevertheless interested in all areas of study. His articles in Logos reflected particularly his interests in literature, the last being an essay in our Fall 2013 issue on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the philosophical currents in which it was written. While I cannot claim a friendship with Fr. Oakes, I met him at several conferences over the years and found him to be as lively and stimulating in person as he was in his writing on theological, literary, and cultural topics. I will miss his contributions not only to this journal but to the Catholic and ecumenical worlds in which he acted. It is no doubt providential that he died in the Advent season on the Feast of St. Nicholas, since his last book was a Christological study titled Infinity Dwindled to Infancy. May he rest in peace and know fully the Infinite One who became an infant. [End Page 12] Copyright © 2014 The University of St. Thomas

Dr WRN Lindsay

I have known Dr Lindsay for 40 years. He was my teacher, mentor, role model and, ultimately, my partner in the Ross Tilley Burn Centre (Toronto, Ontario). I got to know him really well. He was an excellent teacher. I was his resident for six months in 1975 at the Wellesley Hospital (Toronto, Ontario). He worked very hard. He had a very busy Toronto practice. He also ran a clinic in Sudbury (Ontario) every month and a clinic in Oshawa (Ontario) every two weeks. There were no plastic surgeons in those areas at that time. I don’t think he slept very much. Dr WRN Lindsay I was born and raised on a mushroom farm in rural British Columbia in total poverty. I somehow got to the University of Toronto Medical School and then through the plastic surgery training program. That took 10 years. During that time, I lived in various rooming houses, usually in less than desirable areas. I didn’t have a car and sometimes had difficulty raising funds for food. Working with Dr Lindsay provided a new and unique experience. It was a different time and a different place. We didn’t have a call schedule. You were the resident for six months. If you wanted time off, then you would have likely been considered a wimp. Even then, you would have missed some cases. Dr Lindsay made up for all our hard work. Two weeks into the rotation, he brought me a box with all his medical books. “Keep them for the next 6 months and read up on all our cases” he said. As his resident, you were never a student – you were his associate. He asked questions regularly. If your answer was not correct, then he would simply say “Well, that’s a thought”. You knew damn well that you had better come up with something better for the next question. He never aspired to that ‘disciplinary’ method of teaching that was sometimes seen with other surgeons of that era. Dr Lindsay had just opened his surgical clinic in 1975. After our hospital rounds every Saturday morning, we would go to his clinic for soup and to plan the cases for the next week. He actually took me out to dinner on several occasions to places that I had never even imagined! At the end of my rotation, he sent me to a major meeting in Chicago. “It’s a huge meeting and I think you will learn a lot. Don’t worry, I will pay for it!” Dr Lindsay was a modest man of enormous stature. He was the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the Wellesley hospital for more than 20 years. He laid the foundation for Toronto’s first adult burn centre. From 1984 through 2001, Dr Lindsay, Dr Leith Douglas and I supervised the care of more than 2000 patients with major burns at that centre. Dr Lindsay was also a founder of cosmetic plastic surgery in Canada. In those days, cosmetic surgery was ‘relegated to the back room’. If you performed any cosmetic surgery, then you certainly didn’t tell anyone about it, particularly at the university level. Dr Lindsay made this branch of surgery respectable. For 20 years, he staged the annual “Symposium on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery” at the University of Toronto. The top plastic surgeons from around the world would present lectures, which were attended by plastic surgeons from all over North America. Dr Lindsay was also a pioneer when he built his surgical facility in 1975. He had a hospital license and provided care to cancer patients alongside his cosmetic patients. Dr Lindsay and I ultimately worked together as partners in the burn centre for 15 years. He always asked me to call him ‘Bill’, but I never could. He had reached that level of respect and dignity where I could never call him anything but ‘Dr Lindsay’. When he retired, he passed his surgical facility along to me. I have continued to see many of his patients over the years. His patients worshipped him. Whenever his name comes up, their response is always the same: “He was a wonderful, lovely, nice, kind man, and always a gentleman”. Dr Lindsay has now passed from this world to a better one. The real reward in life is the journey. The journey is the reward – all those things that happen along way. Dr Lindsay’s journey has been remarkable. He touched many people. He actually changed their lives. He made an incredible difference. Dr Lindsay, may you rest in peace, sir.

Estimation of Tooth Size Discrepancies among Different Malocclusion Groups

ABSTRACTRegards and Tribute: Late Dr Narender Hasija was a mentor and visionary in the light of knowledge and experience. We pay our regards with deepest gratitude to the departed soul to rest in peace.Bolton’s ratios help in estimating overbite, overjet relationships, the effects of contemplated extractions on posterior occlusion, incisor relationships and identification of occlusal misfit produced by tooth size discrepancies.Aim: To determine any difference in tooth size discrepancy in anterior as well as overall ratio in different malocclusions and comparison with Bolton’s study.Materials and methods: After measuring the teeth on all 100 patients, Bolton’s analysis was performed. Results were compared with Bolton’s means and standard deviations. The results were also subjected to statistical analysis. Results show that the mean and standard deviations of ideal occlusion cases are comparable with those Bolton but, when the mean and standard deviation of malocclusion groups are compared with those of Bolton, the values of standard deviation are higher, though the mean is comparable.How to cite this article: Hasija N, Bala M, Goyal V.

Why we should let “evidence-based medicine” rest in peace

Evidence-based medicine is a redundant term to the extent that doctors have always claimed they practiced medicine on the basis of evidence. They have, however, disagreed about what exactly constitutes legitimate evidence and how to synthesize the totality of evidence in a way that supports clinical action. Despite claims to the contrary, little progress has been made in solving this hard problem in any sort of formal way.The reification of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and the tight linkage of such evidence to the development of clinical guidelines have led to error. In part, this relates to statistical and funding issues, but it also reflects the fact that the clinical events that comprise RCTs are not isomorphic with most clinical practice. Two possible and partial solutions are proposed: (1) to test empirically in new patient populations whether guidelines have the desired effects and (2) to accept that a distributed ecosystem of opinion rather than a hierarchical or consensus model of truth might better underwrite good clinical practice.

Faceless and Forgotten Victims

The effect of wars on direct or indirect victims varies depending on the type of crime committed against them. The wars in former Yugoslavia have left a tremendous number of people with long term trauma. While a large number of people once the war is over, start rebuilding their lives trying to leave the past behind, that does not happen with victims of rape and missing persons. But then again you expect that the state is the one that will help these victims lead their way towards a better life - that does not happen either. The first category is stigmatized for life by their families and the society in general. The second category is neglected and forgotten by the state just like those people never existed. These are the two categories which are forgotten by their own society and as such are often forgotten by the International Community too. Fourteen years have passed since the war in Kosovo and these two categories remain faceless and forgotten; the first ones without a shoulder to cry on and the second ones without a grave to rest in peace. Kosovo has an obligation to recognize and support the ‘Faceless’ and the ‘Forgotten’. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n10p234

The generative garden game: challenging Chomsky at conceptual combat

So you have heard about The Garden, Dear Reader. And you wish to challenge The Master at his Game. Boldly you aim to stalk him in his sprawlirig maze of forking and intersecting conceptual lanes. I say boldly because, as you ought to know, the odds are against you. 'For years The Master has been playing The Game with superb --- some would say, deadly --- skill. Many of intellectual class have come to do battle with The Master about his ideas on language and mind. With woeful consequences, alas! Some entered The Garden, never to reappear. (May their minds rest in peace!) Others left The Garden in undignified hurry --- hurt and, for the rest of their scholarly days, humiliated. Only a few were able to draw blood, to force The Master to aCknowledge a flaw here, to concede a defect there in the foundations of his model of language and mind.
