[source] Australian consumers' attitudes toward France a decade after nuclear testing: evidence of forgivenessJOURNAL OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR, Issue 4 2009Louise A. Heslop Surveys of Australian consumers before, during, and after French nuclear testing in the Pacific in 1995 show clear evidence of negative reaction of consumers to the testing with regards to their ratings of France and French products. Although beliefs about French products did not decline following the announcement of the planned testing, evaluative feelings, and behavioral orientation towards France, the French and French products did. However, by 2005 behavioral orientation to French products, as well as attitudes to France and the French had more than recovered. The components of attitudes to products and country-people are examined in the context of theories of forgiveness to understand processes that could explain such a recovery. Implications for researchers and marketers in the increasingly frequent situations of international tensions are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Tahiti Intertwined: Ancestral Land, Tourist Postcard, and Nuclear Test SiteAMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST, Issue 1 2000Miriam Kahn In this article, I apply ideas from Foucault, Lefebvre, and Soja about thirdspace, or space beyond dualisms, to an understanding of'Tahiti" as a complex, intertwined place. For most Tahitians, a sense of place is rooted in land, which individuals describe as a nurturing mother. Genealogical ties to land define personal identities and social relationships. For the world at large, however, the perception of Tahiti is based on seductive, mass-mediated, touristic images. The perpeiuation of these images, whose origins go back two-hundred years, has become increasingly enmeshed in the economic and political agendas of the French colonial government. The resumption of nuclear testing in French Polynesia in 1995-96 and the subsequent rioting by Tahitians, which disseminated negative images throughout the world, provide a setting for an analysis of Tahiti that moves beyond dualisms. Tahiti is understood instead as an intertwined thirdspace, equally real and imagined, immediate and mediated, [place, colonialism, imagery, tourism, nuclear testing] [source] Dobutamine Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Detect Myocardial Ischemia in WomenPREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY, Issue 3 2008Subha V. Raman MD This study sought to evaluate dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DCMRI) in women with abnormal stress nuclear testing results. Women with findings on stress nuclear exams, including electrocardiography and/or perfusion, thought to require further evaluation with invasive coronary angiography were prospectively enrolled. Multiplane cine imaging was obtained at rest and at each stage of inotropic stress with atropine as needed to achieve target heart rate. DCMRI results were compared with stress nuclear and invasive cardiac catheterization results. Of 23 patients enrolled successfully, 22 completed DCMRI examination without complications. In all cases, DCMRI imaging demonstrated appropriate stress response with no ischemia despite abnormalities on stress nuclear testing. In the 18 patients who also underwent invasive coronary angiography, no significant obstructive disease was identified. DCMRI may be a useful alternative to stress nuclear examination in women; larger studies are warranted to determine its potential to more accurately predict obstructive coronary artery disease.
