Writing in the comprehensive PICASSO/CHANEL exhibition catalogue, Juan Gutiérrez credits Chanel's work as a "constant reappropriation of types and forms that fell outside the boundaries of elegance" (Gutiérrez [1], 48).

The department store mannequin is often read as representative of commodity or sexual fetishism and, consequently, of woman objectified. This article posits that in Émile Zola's Au Bonheur des Dames (1883), the mannequin can highlight such objectification to the woman in the text. Through close readings of the text's mannequins this article seeks to analyse the combination of estrangement and excitement which characterizes the experience of living under modernity. It asks whether the headless Zolian mannequin empowers the shopper to recognize and thus reject objectification of the self, or if it is simply a disquieting reminder of one's own powerlessness.

Art therapy group can facilitate professional and self advocacy efforts to increase awareness of eating disorders. Imagine Me Beyond What You See art competition was the catalyst for the development of an art therapy group to raise awareness for eating disorders and body image by reimagining a mannequin. Participant testimonials demonstrate how this process impacted recovery and empowered clients to become advocates in their communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the evolution and history of interprofessional education (IPE) using healthcare simulation (HCS). The evolution described here demonstrates an achievement of patient safety efforts as a consequence of the historical roots of healthcare and highlights HCS as a progressive method synergistic with IPE. This paper presents a descriptive review that covers the HCS and IPE literature, indicating factors that led to the use of HCS in IPE. Understanding the history of simulation-enhanced IPE provides healthcare educators with fertile ground to support future IPE. A number of benefits in using HCS to address common challenges to IPE are outlined, including natural relevance and engagement for learners, faculty attraction to its use, and the opportunity to explore socio-historical issues in teams. Several promising directions for future research are suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay establishes the cultural, intellectual and historical contexts of Jean Rhys's engagement with sartorial fashion and addresses her characters’ fascination with the sartorial in relation to modernism's refusal of the stable, unitary self. The author analyses the ways in which the thinking of the avant-garde in art and literature and the avant-garde in fashion converged in the 1920s and 1930s. Attention is paid to Virginia Woolf and to the fashion designer Coco Chanel and the ubiquitous ‘little black dress’ in Rhys's European fictions between The Left Bank and Other Stories (1927) and Good Morning, Midnight (1939). Rhys's engagement with fashion is considered as a structuring absence in recent research on modernism and the city. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Background. Despite the widespread use of both two paramedic and single paramedic ambulance crews, there is little evidence regarding differences between these two staffing configurations in the delivery of patient care. Objectives. To determine potential differences in care provided by each of these ambulance configurations in the resuscitation of a cardiac arrest victim in ventricular fibrillation. Methods. Fifteen paramedic-paramedic and 15 paramedic-EMT crews were recruited to perform resuscitation on a high-fidelity human simulator (Laerdal SimMan™). Errors and their nature, time to critical interventions, and compliance with continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were captured by the simulator and videotape. Results. Two paramedic crews averaged 0.7 ± 0.5 more errors of commision, 0.5 ± 0.4 more errors of sequence, and 0.8 ± 0.8 more total errors per resuscitation (± 95% CI; p = 0.008, 0.017, and 0.036, respectively). For all interventions analyzed, only time required to achieve intubation differed between the two configurations, with two paramedic crews intubating 63.9 ± 45.8 seconds more quickly (p = 0.009). CPR compliance was highly variable, and a meaningful statistical difference could not be determined, although performance overall was poor, with both configurations averaging less than 50% compliance. Conclusion. Two paramedic crews were more error-prone and did not perform most interventions more rapidly with the exception of intubation. These data do not support the proposition that two paramedic crews provide higher quality cardiac care than paramedic-EMT crews in a simulated ventricular fibrillation arrest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
