Fragments of Union, a new approach to comparative literary studies, examines forms of connections between nations, literatures, individuals, and words. It asks how, and why, connections get severed, and about the nature of the pieces that remain. Interdisciplinary readings of writings by Scots and Americans re-draw the literary map of both countries during the Enlightenment and Romantic periods. Political, philosophical, cultural, and grammatical dimensions give its analysis sharp relevance to the new conditions presented by devolved government in Britain.

What are the possibilities for process mining in hospitals? In this book the authors provide an answer to this question by presenting a healthcare reference model that outlines all the different classes of data that are potentially available for process mining in healthcare and the relationships between them. Subsequently, based on this reference model, they explain the application opportunities for process mining in this domain and discuss the various kinds of analyses that can be performed. They focus on organizational healthcare processes rather than medical treatment processes. The combination of event data and process mining techniques allows them to analyze the operational processes within a hospital based on facts, thus providing a solid basis for managing and improving processes within hospitals. To this end, they also explicitly elaborate on data quality issues that are relevant for the data aspects of the healthcare reference model. This book mainly targets advanced professionals involved in areas related to business process management, business intelligence, data mining, and business process redesign for healthcare systems as well as graduate students specializing in healthcare information systems and process analysis.

The literature of the American South has been an established field of study for several decades, but most orthodox readings have neglected women writers' contributions. This innovative collection cuts a feminist swath through the old approach, reassessing the contributions to and influences on literature that have been made by Southern women writers. In her introduction, Carol S. Manning describes and challenges established readings of the Southern literary tradition. The first section of the book offers a wide-ranging account of Southern women's writings in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a reinterpretation of the beginning of the Southern Renaissance, and an argument in favor of desegregating that renaissance. A second section uncovers connections specifically suggestive of a female tradition in Southern literature. Contributors link well-known writers - Glasgow, Porter, Welty, O'Connor - through, for example, the theme of relationships between fathers and daughters. One traces writers' responses to the Southern Lady ideal in literature of the Southern Renaissance, while another argues that female orphans frequently represent literal or symbolic resistance to the patriarchy. One contributor describes "spiritual daughters of the black American South", and another links contemporary authors Gail Godwin and Alice Walker through their portrayals of interracial friendships. The book's third section explores works by individual writers who the authors believe have been underrated: Caroline Hentz, Beatrice Ravenel, Olive Dargan, Caroline Gordon, and Zelda Fitzgerald. It ends with an essay of biographical criticism and an autobiographical gem by Doris Betts.

Every year, near the end of winter, there is no other competition that is more captivating then the NCAA College Basketball Tournament. Even though majority of the teams that qualified in the brackets are from the major universities, there is one minor College that will make a huge impact in the Ultimate Spring Event. MadMuu State University recruited two highly talented players that will overlook the established programs, from the elite conferences to play for their head coach. Lorenzo Lloyd and Zion Shuemaker are the prime electives of Ricardo Graves' blueprint, but he recruits one more portion to his diagram. A former collegiate from the Cotton Fields of Mississippi to help give the Mustangs an authoritative presence, which surprisingly granted the underdogs an inspiration that they could only dream of. These no biological triplets spent countless hours, in treacherous conditions from the backyards of their native home state, to fulfill the Cinderella Story of a university, which will resurrect a reputable manner, relinquish a cupid's chokehold, and survive a devastating blow, during a Prelude to March Madness.
