Programme and Abstract Book British Cochlear Implant Group Meeting Maximising Potential Thursday 28th and Friday 29th April 2016 London Organising Committee Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Hearing Implant Centre Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital Auditory Implant Programme Invited Faculty Professor Marc Marshark National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Rochester Institute of Technology Professor Christine Petit Genetics and Physiology of Hearing Laboratory, Institut Pasteur, Paris Professor Astrid Van Wieringen Department of Neuroscience, University of Leuven Professor Christophe Vincent Centre Hospitalier, Régional Universitaire de Lille Welcome Dear Colleagues, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Kings Place and to the 26th British Cochlear Implant Group Meeting. This year we will be focusing on the theme ‘Maximising Potential’ with an interactive conference comprising of a wide range of professionals working in the field of auditory implants. It is with this interactivity in mind that we are hosting lively structured debates on current issues. Through the use of e-voting, we encourage audience participation in the hope of provoking thought and stimulating discussion. We are very fortunate to have with us over the two days such a high quality, international faculty and are very much looking forward to their contributions. Throughout the event e-Posters will be displayed in the exhibition area. Please visit this area and view them at your leisure. As well, please see the e-Poster programme for details of when authors will be presenting their work for 2 minutes at allocated times at e-Poster stations on Level -1. We would also encourage you to visit all of the exhibitors on the mezzanine level, as without their continued support we would not be able to run this conference. -

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated. -

We Have an Exciting Opportunity for an ENT Trainee Or ENT Surgeon to Play a Key Role in a Ground Breaking First in Human Trial O
UCL EAR INSTITUTE SENIOR or PRINCIPAL CLINICAL RESEARCH FELLOW (CL8 or 9) 0.8 FTE We have an exciting opportunity for an ENT trainee or ENT surgeon to play a key role in a ground breaking first in human trial of a novel therapy to treat hearing loss. The REGAIN project (REgeneration of inner hair cells with GAmma secretase INhibitors) is funded by the prestigious EU Horizon 2020 programme and aims to deliver a phase I/II study to test the safety and efficacy of a gamma secretase inhibitor in adults with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss. This innovative project is led by Prof Anne Schilder and Prof Shakeel Saeed, and will be conducted at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital, in collaboration with the UCL Ear Institute and partner sites across Europe. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated senior ENT trainee, or a recently qualified ENT surgeon, to provide essential clinical support to the trial. She/he will be a key figure in the delivery of the trial, supported by research nurses and audiologists as part of the REGAIN team. In parallel to trial delivery, the post holder will be encouraged and supported to develop their own hearing research related to the trial, tailored to background and expertise. The postholder will therefore have a keen interest in translational research and developing a clinical academic career in the field of ENT, hearing and balance. She/he will be flexible, pro-active and able to work under own initiative. The appointment is either to the Senior Clinical Research Fellow or the Principal Clinical Research Fellow grade. -
