Part way through a scheduled flight from Sydney to London, the aircraft struck a seawall on approach to runway six. The undercarriage was damaged and the integral fuel tank was disrupted. When the aircraft touched down on the runway the starboard wing broke off and the undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft came to rest eighty yards from the seawall, in flames. A number of crew members, including Captain T. W. Hoyle, managed to escape the burning wreckage through a glass panel in the cockpit, but the main cabin door and emergency exits could not be opened. Though attempts were made to rescue passengers through holes cut into the fuselage, these were, as one report commented following the accident, ‘almost completely unsuccessful’. Of the forty passengers and crew on board the aircraft, thirty-three were killed. Following the accident, Singapore’s Supreme Court conducted a public inquiry. On 16 November 1954 the inquiry commission published a forty-six-page report which detailed the causes and circumstances of the crash. The report drew attention to the ‘undoubtedly long hours’ worked by the crew and the limited availability of in-flight rest facilities. The crew, it was found, had worked for a total of twenty-one and a half hours and, while rest facilities were available, the inquiry","PeriodicalId":214931,"journal":{"name":"Balancing the self","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121459107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jaques’s early work, carried out at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations during the 1940s and 1950s, had focused primarily on the ways in which social systems operated as forms of ‘defense against persecutory and depressive anxiety’ among their members, as well as a mechanism for protecting the integrity of the system itself. During the following decades, Jaques became an influential figure in studies of bureaucracy, managerial accountability and leadership, as well as human capacity, work and social justice, introducing terms such as ‘corporate culture’ and ‘requisite organisation’ into discussions of occupational hierarchies and working practices. Jaques’s contributions bridged a number of academic domains – including sociology, psychology, economics and applied research – but his theories of the interrelations between individual, institutional and social behaviour were connected through his preoccupations with time, creativity and trust. Although Jaques’s sociological and psychological writings were plainly patterned by his empirical studies of organisations such as factories, churches and health services, they were also affected by his training and practice as a psychoanalyst and by the theories of Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein and Wilfred Bion. These influences are","PeriodicalId":214931,"journal":{"name":"Balancing the self","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116030439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2005 there were an estimated 4.1 million sufferers worldwide, a figure projected to reach 8.7 million by 2030. However, those statistical projections have already been dramatically revised. Current estimates are that 7 to 10 million people in the world are affected, with estimates that this will double within a decade as economically developing and developed populations expand, age and chronically sicken. One million people live with Parkinson’s in the United States, with a further 60,000 diagnosed each year; in Britain, a new person is diagnosed every hour. The disease is characterised by limb tremor and bradykinesia, along with signs such as fixed facial expression, lack of eye blinking, hoarse inaudible voice, shuffling gait, asymmetrical arm swinging and loss of physical balance not easily regained. Cognitive impairment can accompany progressive physiological decline, ending in frontal lobe dementia. A cure for Parkinson’s still eludes us, even as hopes run high among the experimental scientific community. However, there has been a remarkable clinical managerial tool available from the 1960s, one that leverages dopamine substitution in brains where massive dopaminergic neuron death has triggered symptoms. The pharmacological breakthrough of L-DOPA transformed the experience of patients living with gradual decline in motor function, and assisted in reducing some of the","PeriodicalId":214931,"journal":{"name":"Balancing the self","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122451106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most importantly, ‘to cap his disadvantages’, Richardson ‘was a chronic diabetic’. Against all such odds, Richardson triumphed. Success, the Journal keenly pointed out, was founded on Richardson learning ‘how to control his diabetes’ and restoring short-term physiological balance to his body. ‘As every “good” diabetic on insulin knows’, the article explained, ‘violent exercise rapidly burns up sugar in the blood, and, when playing games, great care must be taken to keep up the blood sugar to its right level and so avoid an insulin reaction.’ To win, Richardson needed to ‘study thoroughly the likely effect on his blood sugar of a series of hard games and take precautions’. It was this action that ‘enabled him to maintain a diabetic balance throughout’. This chapter explores how clinicians and Britain’s first patient organisation – the Diabetic (later, British Diabetic) Association (BDA) – constituted the ‘good diabetic’ as one able to undertake considerable","PeriodicalId":214931,"journal":{"name":"Balancing the self","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125925569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
