Simple Calculation of Instanton Corrections in Massive N=2 SU(3) SYM

We give an explicit derivation of the Picard-Fuchs equations for N=2 supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with $N_f<6$ massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We determine the instanton corrections to the prepotential in the weak coupling region using the relation between \tr and the prepotential. This method can be generalized to other gauge groups.Comment: 16 pages, Late

Can my mechanic fix blue cars? A discussion of health clinician\u27s interactions with Aboriginal Australian clients

We expect our professional mechanics to ‘diagnose’ and \u27treat\u27 our cars irrespective of colour, but are we expecting less from our health professionals? There is an increasing focus in the literature on health practitioner decision-making and its influence on the nature and quality of health care. In this article we explore how the basic diagnostic and therapeutic skills that health care practitioners have should be utilised equitably for all clients and propose ways this might be realised. Could the development of Indigenous specific curricula be teaching our medical students to think that Aboriginal patients are different from the norm? We conclude that despite the gains in introducing more comprehensive Aboriginal health curricula there remains considerable work to be done before we can be confident that we are ensuring that health practitioners are no longer contributing to health disparities

The Bulletin, ‘Londonisation’ and Scottish politics in the 1940s and 1950s

This article seeks to examine Scottish politics in the decade or so following the Second World War. The objective is to uncover the texture of Scottish politics in a period that has been characterised rather simplistically. Much of the evidence for the paper is drawn from the Scottish popular press, most notably newspapers such as the Bulletin, which was a Glasgow publication with a Unionist outlook, motivated by a concern to keep Scottish issues to the fore and to resist centralisation. The article will examine the way in which common interpretations of this period in Scottish politics as being one dominated by a unionism that was common to the main parties, serves to flatten what was an interesting and contested landscape. There is a considerable literature on this period in British historiography that engages in a debate about the value of the idea of ‘consensus’ in British politics. The apparent consensus over the Union hid a range of important debates about the way in which the Union ought to operate that were of such an extent to bring the idea of a unionist consensus into question. Given that the SNP was such a marginal force in Scottish politics in this period, it seems more sensible to focus on the debates about the meaning of the Union rather than to adopt an existential focus that was simply not present in day-to-day political debate in the decade following the Second World Wa

John Millington Synge and the Irish women\u27s suffrage movement

John Millington Synge is considered to be among the greatest playwrights of the English language. During his lifetime, however, his plays caused controversy and even riots. Of particular interest is the fact that much of the controversy surrounded Synge\u27s portrayal of Irish women. Because of the radical Irish nationalism that developed in the early 20 th century, much of Synge\u27s work has been interpreted in light of this movement. This thesis, however, explores the theory that Synge was more closely connected with an another movement that was taking place in the early 1900\u27s: women\u27s suffrage. His sympathies for the enfranchisement of women are presented by comparing the tenets of the suffrage movement to Synge\u27s plays and by looking at the personal and social life of J. M. Synge

Severe injuries to the ligaments of the knee joint: an experimental and clinical study

Interest in these problems was aroused by experience of a large number of knee joint injuries of varying nature and severity, provided by the unusual conditions of active service. As a result, a series of experimental investigations was planned in which the detailed nature of injury to ligament tissue, and the subsequent process of healing could be studied. Part I of this communication is devoted to an account of these investigations and a discussion of the findings in application to the clinical problem. Part II contains a report of nine clinical cases which have been selected as a corollary to the experimental work, and as a further contribution to the knowledge of severe ligament injuries and the result of operative repair
