This event is being sponsored jointly by The Smith & Nephew Foundation and the University of Dundee. • The conference dinner will take place on Thursday evening in a Scottish Castle and as usual promises to be a fun evening. The theme of the evening will be Scottish with pipers, Clarsach player, and a Ceilidh Band. ‘Gutty Slippers’ will present a special performance after dinner and before the Ceilidh.

    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice.

This conference invited three international scholars to share their views on the development of precision health care in the Australia, United States and Singapore. The conference sought to raise awareness among nursing professionals and academics on current developments in precision care and to explore opportunities that bring change to our domestic medical, health, and caring services.

    Central Rail Corridor Board Report Norman Baker MP Charles Hendry MP Councillor Rupert Simmons Councillor Pam Doodes Councillor Ann de Vecchi John Parsonage Martin Tugwell Lewes-Uckfield Railway Line Reinstatement Study 23rd July 2008 1 Introduction: This report reflects the views, and makes decisions based on Network Rail’s Lewes-Uckfield railway line reinstatement study’s conclusions, by the Central Rail Corridor Board, which comprises the following Members: o Norman Baker MP o Charles Hendry MP o Councillor Rupert Simmons (East Sussex County Council) o Councillor Peter Gardiner – substituting for Councillor Ann de Vecchi (Lewes District Council) o Councillor Pam Doodes (Wealden District Council) o Martin Tugwell (South East England Regional Assembly - SEERA) o John Parsonage (South East England Development Agency - SEEDA) It is important to note that the decisions contained within the report reflect the views of the Board Members. Background: Local authorities and partners formed a Project Board in 2004, comprising representatives from Regional (SEERA and SEEDA), County and District levels, and local MPs, to provide a planning and policy perspective for reinstatement of the Lewes-Uckfield and Eridge-Tunbridge Wells line; otherwise know as the Central Rail Corridor. Considerable contributions have been made by both the public and private sectors into investigating the potential for reinstating the Central Rail Corridor. A step-change in the way the Board works was made on 24th March 2006, when Members decided to move from being an observer to commissioning status. It was at this stage that Board Observers were invited to attend meetings - these being representatives from Uckfield, Lewes and Crowborough Town Councils and representatives from Wealden and Lewes Parish Councils.

  • MEMO+ New UK Parliament and Government
    May 2010 Minority Ethnic Matters Overview MEMO+ is an occasional series of briefing papers on topics of interest to minority ethnic communities in Scotland. Supported b y It is produced by the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities in partnership with the Black and Ethnic Minority Infrastructure in Scotland , and is supported by the Scottish Government. Briefing: The New UK Parliament and Government General Election Results The elections to the UK Parliament in May 2010 resulted in the Conservative Party having the largest number of seats although no single party has an overall majority. Number of MPs elected in each political party Conservative 306 Labour 258 Liberal Democrat 57 Democratic Unionist Party 8 SNP 6 Sinn Fein 5 Plaid Cymru 3 Social Democratic & Labour Party 3 Alliance Party 1 Green 1 Independent 1 One seat still has to be decided. This is because one of the candidates for Thirsk and Morton died after nominations closed. As a result, no voting took place in that constituency, and a by-election will be held on 27 May. Negotiations between the main parties have resulted in an agreement to form a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government, the first such agreement since 1945. The practicalities of this are not yet clear, but the Ministerial team includes MPs from both parties, and some policy compromises have already been announced. 1 MEMO+ The New UK Parliament and Government May 2010 How does the Parliament work? The Speaker The Speaker, who is elected from among their own number by the MPs themselves, chairs proceedings in the House of Commons.

  • Mining in Conflicted Lands
    Lessons learned from Case Studies of InternationalInternational Investment Financial in Extractive Flows and Land-use Industries and the Environment Best Practices for Transnational Investment in Extractive and Land Use Sectors School of International Service American University Foreword With the wave of globalization and the empowerment of civil societies around the world, foreign investment has become an increasingly important issue due to the inherent social and environmental impacts that foreign companies inflict upon the local communities in which they operate. The results of foreign investment are complicated: some investment improves local economic, environmental, and social conditions, while other investment leads to tensions between transnational companies and local communities. There are currently few broadly agreed-upon standards that guide how foreign companies should invest and behave in host countries in order to achieve not only business benefits, but also social responsibility and environmental sustainability. This portfolio of best and worst practices of foreign investment exhibits both positive and negative cases of foreign investment. This document is the cooperative product of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the American University (AU) practicum team. IFFE’s Senior Associate, Mr. Hu Tao, and Research Analyst, Denise Leung, worked closely with the practicum team to develop the project. The AU practicum team consisted of professors Dr. Ken Conca and Dr. Judy Shapiro and eleven graduate students: Stephanie DaCosta, Kristin DeValue, Hilary Kirwan, Lauren Lane, John Noel, Sebastian O’Connor, Schuyler Olsson, Jen Richmond, Natnari Sihawong, Toussaint Webster, and Yuxi Zhao. In March 2013, the AU practicum team travelled to Beijing, China, to present their initial research and coordinate with a WRI partner research team from Beijing Normal University.

Kirschling PhD, RN, FAAN For more than a century, the University of Maryland School of Nursing has been committed to excellence in educating nurses who have become experts in their fields, clinicians, educators, and leaders in Maryland, the nation, and around the globe. The School of Nursing was established as a hospital training school in 1889, emerged as an autonomous entity in 1952, and is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2014. As we celebrate our past and look to our future, we cannot forget the nurse pioneers who came before us. We value the legacy of those who carried the torch in the name of nursing, including Clara Barton, Dorothea Dix, Mary Mahoney, Florence Nightingale, Louisa Parsons, Lucile Petry, and Lillian Wald, whose names Evaluation Laboratory was expanded, as was our nursing are all etched on the façade of our building. If I might program at the Universities at Shady Grove. And, we borrow the sentiment of Robert Burton’s quote, launched a Student Success Center to help nursing “I light my candle from their torches.” students become more efficient and effective learners.
