  • Hilary Term 2013
    THE TERMLY E-NEWSLETTER FOR EXONIANS HILARY TERM 2013 Welcome... to the latest edition of Exeter Matters, the termly electronic newsletter for Exonians. RECTOR’S NEWS It must be spring: only last week, the Classicists coming back from Mods were being showered with celebratory buckets of water – hardly necessary, given the downpour. And a crocus is blooming in a corner of the front quad, protected by the President of the JCR who has asked that the grass be left uncut while it flowers. FRANCES CAIRNCROSS But it has been a grey and rainy term, with the Thames in flood and Torpids nearly cancelled. We have cheered ourselves up in a number of ways this term. Our rowers did not do brilliantly but our rugby team won the Cuppers Plate. After some debate, we marked our commitment to equality and diversity by flying the Rainbow Flag at the end of February. The Ken Colyer New Orleans Legacy Jazz Band led the annual march around the three Turl Street quads as part of a wonderfully successful Turl Street Arts Festival, and then blew their horns for a Prohibition themed party in Hall, under the stern gaze of Rector Farnell, who once said that such jazz “comes from the devil”. As part of our build-up to next year’s 700th anniversary celebrations, Sir Paul Nurse gave a memorable lecture on “Great ideas of biology, both historical and looking THE WINNING RUGBY forward” to an audience of students, alumni and friends of the College. It was as TEAM riveting for non-scientists as it was for scientists.

  • A Socio Behavioural Perspective for Understanding and Managing Behaviour Problems in Children with Epilepsy
    Behavioural Neurology (1992), S, 47-51 A socio behavioural perspective for understanding and managing behaviour problems in children with epilepsy C.A. Cull and S.W. Brown The David Lewis Centre for Epilepsy, Warford, Nr Alderly Edge, Cheshire, UK Correspondence to: G.A. Cull, Department of Clinical Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill, London SE5 8AF, UK In this paper, reasons for the occurrence of interictal behaviour disturbance in children with epilepsy, and the management of such problems, are considered. The search for a direct relationship between epilepsy related variables and behaviour disorders is far from conclusive. While such a relationship may exist with respect to ictal behaviour problems, this line of investigation is of limited value in respect of its implications for the management of interictal problems. In the latter case it is proposed that organic factors may be considered to be a risk factor. In addition, the negative psychosocial sequelae of a diagnosis of epilepsy can result in conditions which are likely to foster the development of inappropriate behaviours. Learning theory would further suggest that environmental contingencies have a role to play in the shaping and maintenance of such behaviours. This broader framework for conceptualising the development and maintenance of interictal behaviour disorders has clear management implications. Clinical examples of the successful application of this approach to the management of persistent behavioural problems in two young people with epilepsy are presented. INTRODUCTION Children with epilepsy are at risk for developing behavi­ epilepsy and behaviour implies that the course of any be­ our disorders, and show more behavioural disturbance havioural problem is intimately linked with the course of than age matched control groups (Rutter et al., 1970; the seizure disorder itself.

    They were precipitated by strenuous exercise such as bicycle riding and racing and running. He would continue to ride automatically during seizures. Neurologic exam and MRI were normal. Interictal EEG showed left temporal lobe epileptiform discharges. He continues to have seizures during exercise despite treatment with carbamazepine and gabapentin. Neither patient had seizures induced by hyperventilation, passive and active stationary limb movement or by imagining competitive sports. (Sturm JW, Fedi M, Berkovic SF, Reutens DC. Exercise-induced temporal lobe epilepsy. Neurology 2002;59:1246-1248). (Reprints: Dr David C Reutens, Department of Neurology, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Studley Road, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084, Australia). COMMENT. Reflex epilepsies in response to a well-defined precipitating stimulus occur in about 5% of patients with epilepsy. Exercise-induced epilepsies are usually generalized or frontal lobe in origin, and less commonly involve the temporal lobe. Other reflex precipitants for temporal lobe seizures include music, eating, hot water immersion, laughter, and thinking. The stimuli may involve emotional and motivational factors, and require complex processing in limbic structures. Exercise-induced seizures are rare and should not lead to a sedentary life-style. In fact, moderate exercise may offer some protection or improved control of epilepsy. LANGUAGE DISORDER WITH FOCAL EPILEPSIES The relationship between language disorder and epileptic seizures was examined in 109 children, ages 5-17 years, attending a national center for epilepsy over a 4 year period and at the University of Manchester, UK. Median age at onset of epilepsy was 2 years 5 months, and seizure onset was before 6 years of age in 89% of the cohort.

  • The Art of Regeneration: the Establishment and Development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010
    The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jane Clayton School of Architecture, University of Liverpool August 2012 iii Abstract The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985-2010 Jane Clayton This thesis is about change. It is about the way that art organisations have increasingly been used in the regeneration of the physical environment and the rejuvenation of local communities, and the impact that this has had on contemporary society. This historical analysis of the development of a young art organisation, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT), which has previously not been studied in depth, provides an original contribution to knowledge with regard to art and culture, and more specifically the development of media and community art practices, in Britain. The nature of FACT’s development is assessed in the context of the political, socio- economic and cultural environment of its host city, Liverpool, and the organisation is placed within broader discourses on art practice, cultural policy, and regeneration. The questions that are addressed – of local responsibility, government funding and institutionalisation – are essential to an understanding of the role that publicly funded organisations play within the institutional framework of society, without which the analysis of the influence of the state on our cultural identity cannot be achieved. The research was conducted through the triangulation of qualitative research methods including participant observation, in-depth interviews and original archival research, and the findings have been used to build upon the foundations of the historical analysis and critical examination of existing literature in the fields of regeneration and culture, art and media, and museum theory and practice.

The merger was achieved via a transfer of engagements from Hanover Housing Association to Anchor Trust under a process provided for under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Prior to the merger, Anchor Trust converted from a company limited by guarantee to become a Community Benefit Society which facilitated the subsequent transfer of engagements. We determined that the application of merger accounting would be appropriate and therefore the financial results and reporting are presented as if the merged entity had always existed. Similarly the governance section presents reports from Committees established in the post-merger period. The processes and systems of the pre-merger organisations largely continued to operate separately between 29 November 2018 and 31 March 2019 as the process of integration commenced.
