RCSI DEVELOPING HEALTHCARE LEADERS WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WORLDWIDE WELCOME LETTER TO ALUMNI Welcome to the 2017 issue of the RCSI Alumni Magazine. With more than 16,000 alumni in 97 countries worldwide, the readership reflects a graduate network that is international, influential and diverse. We know there is a sincere desire among alumni to play a constructive role in the future of the College and we encourage you to remain in touch with RCSI and maintain Aíne Gibbons. your links, professional and personal, with ALAN ROWLETTE this global network. The theme of this issue is Leading and Learning – appropriate given RCSI’s transformational strategy for the next decade. Many of our graduates make a significant impact in the surgical and healthcare field both at home and on the global stage: this international community is recognised as a “most global network” and in the top 250 educational institutions globally. Our aim is to rise in these rankings. In the pages that follow, alumni who attended RCSI at our four international campuses in Bahrain, Malaysia, Dubai and Ireland, demonstrate the value of the education earned. Many responded to our call to 2016’s alumni survey. We greatly delighted in the affinity that alumni have expressed for their alma mater – some of the memories are shared in Asking our Alumni (page 6), and others got in touch with career news and highlights in The Great & The Good (page 12).

    5 As Câmeras E O Turismo Em Kolkata.Cap 6.Pdf

    As Câmeras e o Turismo em Kolkata: Representações em Photovoice EIXOS TEMÁTICOS REPRESENTACIONAIS Como descrevi no capítulo 3, o método que utilizo para análise da informação recolhida em photovoice assenta numa síntese entre a semiótica cognitiva e a análise de discurso, adaptada no sentido de criar uma semântica que permita aceder à dialógica das associações estabelecidas entre as imagens visuais e textuais produzidas pelos mesmos sujeitos. A partir do tratamento da totalidade das séries narrativas obtidas foram identificadas persistências de características pictóricas e de enunciados, que conduziram à definição de dois grandes eixos temáticos dominantes na representação desta cidade e dos seus habitantes: Terceiro Mundo e Oriente. O seu tratamento individualizado é articulado nesta secção. 6. Representações de Terceiro Mundo “O Terceiro Mundo é pobre e a pobreza é causada pela falta de desenvolvimento económico” 6.1 Representações de Terceiro Mundo e Pobreza: Metanarrativas155 e Conceitos Mediadores As formações discursivas utilizadas pelos turistas internacionais para descrever Kolkata evidenciam uma aproximação a formações enunciativas vigentes, que remetem para um primeiro eixo temático: as metanarrativas produzidas sobre o Terceiro Mundo nas sociedades ocidentais. 155 Termo usado no sentido filosófico de grande narrativa; uma narrativa de nível superior (meta – do termo grego que significa “para além de”), globalizante, capaz de explicar todo o conhecimento existente ou capaz de representar uma verdade absoluta. O uso que faço do termo ao longo desta dissertação é o de “discurso de carácter normativo para representação de um objecto”, enquadrado pela posição crítica de Jean-François Lyotard (1989 [1979]), de desconstrução do mito cartesiano (Discurso do Método) sobre o conhecimento.

    ULf University of Limerick SU Clubs and Societies Safety Statement Academic Year 2011-2012 UL Fencing Club ULf 1. Introduction This safety statement is designed to set out the control measures that the club/society has in place to reduce the risk associated with its activities to the minimum that is reasonably practicable. The document sets out the role of the Club’s & Society officers with respect to safety. It also sets out the standards that the Students Union requires the club/society to adhere to. The officers have overall responsibility for ensuring safety standards are high and that members are aware of these standards. Officers should bring this document to the attention of their members and explain to them the basic safety rules that all members must adhere to when participating in club/society activities. Officers should customise the Safety Statement to their own club/society requirements. If the club or society carries out any hazardous activities these must be identified in writing and an assessment of the risk associated with the activity must be made, i.e. an estimation of the likelihood of something going wrong and the severity of the injury or ill health that may occur if things go wrong. The club/society must then set out what it does to eliminate or minimise the risk. If the club is affiliated to a governing body the safety standards of the governing body must be used. 1.1 Role of the President of the Club/Society The Presidents role with respect to safety involves the following; ● ensuring that everyone is familiar with the Safety Statement, ● that there are first aiders and first aid equipment available if required, ● that trip leaders are suitably experienced, ● ensuring that novices are well looked after ● that relevant training is provided where necessary, ● and that everyone is aware of the action to be taken in an emergency.

For 2019 this has been demonstrated with an increase in core funding from €29,000 to €55,000, as well as project funding of €35,000 from Dormant Accounts for a project in Dublin 15. Fencing is a small and niche sport, but with decent potential to ramp up its activities, with its core fundamentals being strong. It is a sport with an international dimension and outlet, and with the possibility of collaborating with other sports. It has the potential to grow both its participative and competitive dimensions, and use the increase in core funding to build its administrative capacity. Membership at Club Level Clubs vary within the sport. Clubs exist using rented halls, and within universities. Within the fencing community club membership experiences vary. Some clubs are doing well at attracting and retaining a vibrant community of fencers from all age ranges and walks of life. However, many clubs are strug- gling to attract and retain players (other than a die-hard core group). Because fencers can have a long sporting career, the sport has an active cohort of master’s participants.

    Representações Dos Turistas Internacionais Entre Residentes De Kolkata, Índia

    Número 15 (1) Any 2010 www.antropologia.cat Ocidente e Ocidentais: representações dos turistas internacionais entre residentes de Kolkata, Índia Sandra C. S. Marques Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia Instituto Universitário de Lisboa Resumo No encontro do turismo internacional em Kolkata (capital do estado de West Bengal, Índia), a tendência para a naturalização/essencialização de significados ideológicos sobre a diferença do Outro ocorre quer para turistas quer para anfitriões. Para os últimos, aparentemente desinteressados no estabelecimento de dicotomias para além da desigualdade económica e poder de consumo que é naturalizada como atributo genérico do Ocidente-Primeiro Mundo, a representação estereotipada do visitante internacional é reduzida a uma imagem vaga de estrangeiro “ocidental” ou “ocidentalizado”: rico, materialista, moderno e falante de inglês. Nesta intervenção proponho analisar os quadros referenciais utilizados na construção desta imagem e a sua articulação com narrativas pré-existentes difundidas por mediadores de cultura populares. Palavras-chave: turismo internacional, estereótipos, ocidente, ocidentais, Índia, Kolkata Na investigação antropológica sobre o fenómeno do encontro do turismo internacional, são os turistas e designadamente o turista “ocidental” quem ocupa a posição central de objecto de análise. Este facto deve-se não só ao marcado eurocentrismo que ainda persiste na produção de conhecimento nesta área (confinada na sua maioria a produções provenientes da América do Norte, Sul do Pacífico e Noroeste Europeu1), mas porque o 1 Ao nível de revistas especializadas, destacam-se (claramente, pelo uso da língua inglesa, o que permite a sua grande difusão e número de leitores): Annals of Tourism Research, Tourism, Culture & Communication e Journal of Travel Research (América do Norte); The Tourist Review, International QUADERNS-E, 15(1), 90-119 ISSN 1696-8298 © QUADERNS-E DE L'ICA Sandra C.S.
