  • Monofins for Freediving
    Monofins for Freediving We have been intermittently following the debate concerning the use of the monofin in freediving and would like to share some of our findings. Two years ago we put together the first experimental monofin/freedive clinic where we assembled some unique elements. We put together the leading trainers in monofin swimming, namely the Russian coaches from Tomsk university, who train both the Russian national team and their chief rivals, the Chinese, the leading specialist monofin manufacturer belonging to the same school and a group of freedivers which represented the best cross-section, from the very top of freediving competition to the very novice. This same group also represented advanced freedivers who already had experience with the monofin, advanced freedivers who had never used a monofin and a novice freediver with no experience of the monofin. Although the number of freedivers involved was small we feel that with a larger group the conclusions would have been much the same. The objectives were to find (i) What style and why? (ii) What rhythm and amplitude of movement? (iii) What kind of monofin and what stiffness of blade and if this was individual what the relevant criteria for monofin choice should be? (iv) What compromises and adaptations had to be made to suit the specific needs of the freediver? (v) What was the best training method for the monofin freediver. What style and why? We had heard a lot of talk concerning adaptations of the ‘classic ’style that freedivers should adopt. I know from personal acquaintance that some of the people recommending various adaptations were not capable of demonstrating a good classic style hence their recommendations were from lack of ability in the monofin and hence lack of choice through limited ability.

McGilp BA (Hons), M.Ed. Submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Education College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow October 2016 2 Abstract In today’s increasingly digitised world, we communicate both locally and globally across different languages, modes and media. Since the New London Group’s (1996) seminal ‘Pedagogy of Multiliteracies’ some twenty years ago, there have been further significant developments in the way we communicate, with the 21st century considered ‘the great age of translation’ (Bassnett 2014:1). Yet despite the increasing number of multilingual, multimodal texts we encounter, classrooms continue to teach traditional, monolingual print- based models of literacy.

Referral For East of Scotland patients: A referral letter with a transplant recipient check-list and summary (appendix I) should be sent to the Transplant Unit (addressed to Mr J Forsythe; Mr M Akyol; or Mr J Casey, Consultant Transplant Surgeons). All referred patients will be sent an appointment. Lothian, Borders and Fife patients are seen at the transplant assessment clinic in Edinburgh, others are seen in regional units. Patients are seen by a transplant surgeon and recipient transplant co-ordinator. If indicated further assessment by an anaesthetist, psychologist (Appendix III) dentist, dietitian, dermatologist or any other relevant specialist may be sought. Work up for renal transplantation should be carried out at the local centre. Patients will have the opportunity for detailed discussion regarding kidney transplantation and will be counselled with respect to relative risks and benefits of cadaveric and living donor kidney transplantation. An information booklet is also given to the patient to support the verbal information given at the assessment clinic. All patients who are referred for renal transplantation should have risk factors assessed and further screening requested as per Appendix II. Listing Following initial outpatient assessment, those patients who are considered potentially suitable candidates and who remain willing to be considered for a transplant will undergo further investigation as required.

    THE SPRATLY ISLANDS DISPUTE: DECISION UNITS AND DOMESTIC POLITICS CHRISTOPHER CHUNG A thesis submitted to the University of New South Wales in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by colleagues, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, during my candidature, is fully acknowledged. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project’s design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged. Christopher Chung i ABSTRACT This thesis presents a cross-national, cross-regime examination of foreign policy decision-making in the Spratly Islands dispute, focusing on China, Malaysia and the Philippines. It argues that how and why these countries have acted in particular ways towards the dispute relates to the relationship among foreign policy decision-making, government behaviour and domestic politics. The theoretical foundation of the study is foreign policy analysis. It applies the decision units approach advanced by Margaret and Charles Hermann and Joe Hagan to investigate who made foreign policy decisions on the Spratly Islands dispute in the three countries during the period 1991-2002, and how this influenced government behaviour.
