Marianne Meets the Mormons
In the nineteenth century, a fascination with the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints made Mormons and Mormonism a common
trope in French journalism, art, literature, politics, and popular
culture. Heather Belnap, Corry Cropper, and Daryl Lee bring to
light French representations of Mormonism from the 1830s to 1914,
arguing that these portrayals often critiqued and parodied French
society. Mormonism became a pretext for reconsidering issues such
as gender, colonialism, the family, and church-state relations
while providing artists and authors with a means for working
through the possibilities of their own evolving national identity.
Surprising and innovative, Marianne Meets the Mormons
looks at how nineteenth-century French observers engaged with the
idea of Mormonism in order to reframe their own cultural
preoccupations.

Joseph White Musser
In 1921, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
excommunicated Joseph White Musser for his refusal to give up
plural marriage. Cristina M. Rosetti tells the story of how a
Church leader followed his beliefs into exile and applied the
religious thought he began to develop in the mainline faith to
become a foundational theologian of Mormon fundamentalism.
Musser's devotion to Joseph Smith's vision and the faith's
foundational texts reflected a widespread uneasiness with, and
reaction against, changes taking place across society. Rosetti
analyzes how Musser's writing and thought knit a disparate group of
outcast LDS believers into a movement. She also places Musser's
eventful life against the backdrop of a difficult period in LDS
history, when the Church strained to disentangle itself from plural
marriage and leaders like Musser emerged to help dissident members
make sense of their lives outside the mainstream.
The first book-length account of the Mormon thinker, Joseph
White Musser reveals the figure whose teachings helped mold a
movement.

Irish Mormons
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of the
international religions that have arrived from abroad to find
adherents in Ireland. Drawing on fieldwork in two LDS communities,
Hazel O'Brien explores how these adherents experience the Church in
Ireland against the backdrop of the country's increasingly complex
religious identity. Irish Latter-day Saints live on the margins of
the nation's religious life and the worldwide LDS movement.
Nonetheless, they create a sense of belonging for themselves by
drawing on collective memories of both their Irishness and their
faith. As O'Brien shows, Irish Latter-day Saints work to shift the
understanding of Ireland's religious landscape away from a
predominant focus on Roman Catholicism. They also challenge
Utah-based constructions of Mormonism in order to ensure their
place in the Church's powerful religious and cultural lineage.
Examining the Latter-day Saint experience against one nation's
rapid social and religious changes, Irish Mormons blends
participant observation and interviews with analysis to offer a
rare view of the Latter-day Saints in contemporary Ireland.

Day-patient treatment after short inpatient care versus continued inpatient treatment in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (ANDI): a multicentre, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority trial
In-patient treatment (IP) is the treatment setting of choice for moderately-to-severely ill adolescents with anorexia nervosa, but it is costly, and the risks of relapse and readmissions are high. Day patient treatment (DP) is less expensive and might avoid problems of relapse and readmission by easing the transition from hospital to home. We investigated the safety and efficacy of DP after short inpatient care compared with continued IP.
For this multicentre, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority trial, we enrolled female patients (aged 11–18 years) with anorexia nervosa from six centres in Germany. Patients were eligible if they had a body-mass index (BMI) below the tenth percentile and it was their first admission to hospital for anorexia nervosa. We used a computer-generated randomisation sequence to randomly assign patients to continued IP or DP after 3 weeks of inpatient care (1:1; stratified for age and BMI at admission). The treatment programme and treatment intensity in both study groups were identical. The primary outcome was the increase in BMI between the time of admission and a 12-month follow-up adjusted for age and duration of illness (non-inferiority margin of 0·75 kg/m2). Analysis was done by modified intention to treat. This trial is registered with the International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number Register, number ISRCTN67783402, and the Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien, number DRKS00000101.
Between Feb 2, 2007, to April 27, 2010, we screened 660 patients for eligibility, 172 of whom we randomly allocated to treatment: 85 to IP and 87 to DP. DP was non-inferior to IP with respect to the primary outcome, BMI at the 12-month follow-up (mean difference 0·46 kg/m2 in favour of DP (95% CI, −0·11 to 1·02; pnon-inferiority<0·0001). The number of treatment-related serious adverse events was similar in both study groups (eight in the IP group, seven in the DP group). Three serious adverse events in the IP group and two in the DP group were related to suicidal ideation; one patient in the DP attempted suicide 3 months after she was discharged.
DP after short inpatient care in adolescent patients with non-chronic anorexia nervosa seems no less effective than IP for weight restoration and maintenance during the first year after admission. Thus, DP might be a safe and less costly alternative to IP. Our results justify the broad implementation of this approach.

The impact of attending day care designed for home-dwelling people with dementia on nursing home admission: a 24-month controlled study
Background
Day care services offer meaningful activities, a safe environment for attendees and respite for family caregivers while being expected to delay the need for nursing home (NH) admission. However, previous research has shown inconsistent results regarding postponement of NH admission. The objective of the study was to explore the influence of a day care programme designed for home-dwelling people with dementia on NH admission.
Method
A quasi-experimental trial explored the proportion of patients permanently admitted to nursing homes after 24 months as the main outcome by comparing a group of day care attendees (DG) and a group of participants without day care (CG). In all, 257 participants were included (181 in DG and 76 in CG). A logistic regression model was developed with NH admission as the outcome. Participant group (DG or CG) was the main predictor, baseline patient and family caregiver characteristics and interactions were used as covariates.
Results
The mean age of participants was 81.5 (SD 6.4), 65% were women and 53% lived alone. The mean MMSE score was 20.4 (SD 3.5). In all, 128 (50%) of the participants were admitted to a nursing home by the 24-month follow-up, 63 participants (25%) completed the follow-up assessment and 66 (26%) dropped out due to death (8%) and other reasons (18%). In the logistic unadjusted regression model for NH admission after 24 months, participant group (DG or CG) was not found to be a significant predictor of NH admission. The results from the adjusted model revealed that the participant group was associated with NH admission through the interactions with age, living conditions, affective symptoms, sleep symptoms and practical functioning, showing a higher probability for NH admission in DG compared to CG.
Conclusion
The study reveals no evidence to confirm that day care services designed for people with dementia postpone the need for NH admission. Admission to nursing homes seems to be based on a complex mix of personal and functional characteristics both in the person with dementia and the family caregivers. The findings should be considered in accordance with the limitation of inadequate power and the high drop-out rate.
Trial registration
The study is registered in Clinical Trials (
NCT01943071
).
