The Primary PE and Sport Premium
Get PDFIn 2013 the UK government introduced the primary physical education and sport premium (PPESP) to improve Physical Education (PE) provision in eligible schools. In 2017 this was doubled, and further funding was committed until 2020. There is currently a lack of information regarding the comprehension and implementation of the PPESP amongst staff within schools. This study provides an insight into the current understanding of the PPESP and explores concepts of knowledge, value, and the decisions being made to make sustainable improvements. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews was adopted.</p
The Language of Forensic Archaeology:Discourses in Field and in Court
No full textTestifying at trial is a linguistic event. Currently forensic archaeological reporting, in whatever guise, assumes that a codified lexicon exists and is accepted within the wider forensic archaeological community. Forensic archaeology has incorporated standard terminology from the conventional discipline. However, nontechnical but familiar words have also been appropriated and are perceived as possessing a similar standing as technical terminology because other forensic archaeologists have come to use them. It has become clear from peer reviews of forensic reports, case examples, and during cross-examination that linguistic diversity exists within the discipline. Moreover, practitioners may not currently possess a full awareness of the reasons that account for and the difficulties created by apparent linguistic diversity across the linguistic genres forensic archaeologists engage with. The following argues for greater standardization of oral and written evidence within forensic archaeology in the UK and USA. It also demonstrates that a greater understanding of the epistemological identity of forensic archaeology would benefit the development of a clear and communally accepted lexicon that seeks to represent all the activities taking place within this field of study
A Qualitative Study of Heterosexual Men’s Attitudes Toward and Practices of Receiving Anal Stimulation
Get PDFThis study examines the practice of and attitudes toward anal sexual stimulation among 30 heterosexual undergraduate men attending a UK university. While scientific and popular belief throughout the twentieth century has considered anal pleasure to be only for gay or gender non-conforming men, we find participants discuss such pleasure openly, and some have explored physically receiving anal pleasure. Participants did not stigmatise sexual pleasure derived from anal play, challenging cultural narratives that conflate anal receptivity with being gay. We document how ignorance around the best practices for anal sex may impede pleasure and the further exploration of sexual pleasure and highlight areas where sexual health and education interventions may be beneficial
Food Access for All: Empowering Innovative Local Infrastructure
Get PDFIn underserved communities throughout affluent countries, people lack access to affordable, nutritious food. To remedy this, Social Entrepreneurial Organizations (SEOs) are creating local, community-based food distribution infrastructure that provides sustainable access to healthy and affordable food. Our paper develops an integrative framework focused on identifying the key marketing practices that enhance the success of local, community-based SEOs securing affordable access to healthy foods. We adopt a relational engagement approach and bring an inductive case study method to our collaborative research partnerships with SEOs innovating community-based solutions to improve food access. Our research-based framework suggests opportunities for academic research on food access with conceptual and societal benefit. Finally, we call for more academic research to advance local, community-based social entrepreneurship focused on attaining healthy food access for all

Prevention and management of moisture-associated skin damage.
No full textThe harmful effects of excessive moisture on a patient’s skin are well known. While traditionally considered an issue only encountered in continence care and older people, it is now recognised that the harmful effects of excessive moisture can occur across the lifespan and in various patient groups. The term ‘moisture-associated skin damage’ describes the spectrum of inflammatory damage that occurs in response to the prolonged exposure of a patient’s skin to perspiration, urine, faeces or wound exudate.It is generally accepted that moisture-associated skin damage consists of four conditions: incontinenceassociated dermatitis, intertrigo, peristomal moisture-associated dermatitis, and periwound moisture-associated dermatitis. This article describes the aetiologies of each of the different types of moisture-associated skin damage, and outlines the nursing interventions required for their prevention and management
