Russia’s War On Ukraine Is Deeply Unpopular In Belarus
No full textLukashenka might have little choice but to pose as Russia’s staunch ally in its war on Ukraine, but he will be a general without an army if he decides to send in his troops. Belarusians are overwhelmingly against the war
Emotion regulation in emerging adults: Do parenting and parents' own emotion regulation matter?
No full textEffective emotion regulation (ER) strategies are linked with healthy psychosocial functioning, and parenting behaviours and parents’ own ER have been linked to the development of their children’s own ER. The present study examined relations between emerging adults’ perceived parenting dimensions (warmth, psychological control, and behavioural control), their caregivers’ self-reported parenting dimensions, and emerging adults’ ER. We also examined how caregivers’ ER relates to their emerging adult children’s ER. Two dimensions of ER (cognitive reappraisal and emotional suppression) were examined. Participants included 466 emerging adults, and a subsample of 102 emerging adult-primary caregiver dyads, and 51 emerging adult-secondary caregiver dyads. Findings from analyses on emerging adults suggest that only perceived main and secondary caregivers’ warmth influenced their use of cognitive reappraisal (CR). In contrast, caregivers’ reported parenting did not influence emerging adults’ emotion suppression (ES) use. In addition, caregivers’ reported use of CR influenced emerging adults’ own use of CR, but caregivers’ use of ES did not. These findings suggest that it is the perception of parenting rather than what caregivers report doing that influences emerging adults’ ER. Limitations and directions for future research are considered

Get PDFDigging into legal archaeology: a methodology for case study research
No full textTraditional legal scholarship has been dominated by doctrinal analysis. When cases are analysed, attention has commonly focused upon the legal issues, judicial reasoning, and case outcome. However, alternative approaches can lead to new or different conclusions. Legal archaeology is a type of micro-level case study research that examines a case in its socio-historical context, using mainly original sources, to construct a more detailed case narrative than that presented in the case report. Rather than trying to fit newly discovered evidence to pre-existing doctrine or respond to a research question, legal archaeology focuses on the subjective, variable nature of cases and captures their uniqueness. Reflecting on a legal archaeology study previously undertaken by the author in addition to existing works, this article emphasizes the importance of legal archaeology as a tool for case study research and suggests a four-stage approach for the process of investigation that could be replicated by scholars in future.</p
Wild Fish Welfare in UK Commercial Sea Fisheries: Qualitative Analysis of Stakeholder Views
Get PDFAn estimated 1.5–2.7 billion wild fish are caught by UK commercial sea fishing fleets annually. Most are subjected to severe stressors during capture; stunning is rare and gutting alive is common practice. Fish are recognised in UK law as sentient beings, but commercially caught wild fish are excluded from welfare protections. Animal welfare impacts in wild capture sea fisheries are therefore on a massive scale, with major potential for legislative and market-based reforms. Interviews were conducted with 18 experts working within the fishing and seafood industry, fisheries management, scientific research and animal/fish advocacy organisations. The findings reveal a significant welfare gap between societally acceptable ways to treat sentient animals and the reality of capture fisheries. The participants pointed to harms caused to fish throughout different stages of the capture process caused by combinations of variables from fishing gear and methods to biological, environmental and other factors, noting that all require mitigation. Interviews revealed that the nature of harms may be exacerbated by conservative attitudes towards brutal practices in the industry, driven by profit and efficiency and free from legal restraint. To address the welfare gap, stakeholders favour engagement with the industry to improve understanding of harms and to identify mutually beneficial and shared objectives through alleviating stressors to fish in the capture process. This empirical research is focused on UK wild capture sea fisheries. However, given the dearth of welfare legislation globally, it has significance for fishing nations and the many billions of wild sea fish captured each year around the world
Four-strands of qualitative study understanding the perspectives of students, clinicians, senior managers and leaders on Collaborative-Learning-in-Practice (CLiP) on physiotherapy placement
No full textKeywords: Collaborative, Placement, Learning Purpose: To explore the perspectives of physiotherapy students, practice educators in outpatient and acute-ward settings, and senior managers and leaders surrounding the implementation of CLiP for physiotherapy placements. Methods: Four strands of qualitative research studies were carried out utilising semi-structured interviews recorded via Microsoft Teams. The resulting transcriptions written bureaucratically were thematically analysed with a detailed hierarchical-audit-trail for validation and quality-assurance. Thirty-six participants were recruited using purposive sampling. This consisted of nine-physiotherapy undergraduate students (three first-year, three second-year and three third-year students), nine-physiotherapy practice educators in an NHS and private outpatient-department, ten-physiotherapy practice educators in an NHS acute-wards and eight-senior managers and leaders across the UK. Results: Four-overarching-themes from students’ perspectives: Positive attributes of CLiP; Multi-factorial aspects determining CLiP as a success; Moulding students to become autonomous practitioners, Cultures and beliefs influencing acceptance of CLiP. Three-overarching-themes from outpatient physiotherapists: Space and accommodation, Student level and competence, Flexibility. Three-overarching-themes from physiotherapists in the acute wards: Holism, Effect of individuality, Implications of context. Three-overarching-themes from managers and leaders: Adoption curve, Student development, Quality of care. Conclusion(s): This study highlights that the benefits of CLiP would outweigh the challenges of successful implementation in practice. CLiP could be beneficial for students to develop their physiotherapy skills allowing more students to attain placements. CLiP has good potential in addressing current issues for which traditional-style placements fall short. One major issue is the lack of availability with placements due to an increased number of universities incorporating physiotherapy courses. This will aid the NHS’ long-term-plan (2019) to recruit more physiotherapists. CLiP has the potential to offer improved learning experiences being coached by all members of a multidisciplinary-team. The hierarchical title should not reflect the experience and knowledge that professionals can give. They also felt that learning from one mentor can only teach what they know instead of learning from a team where the learning potential is much larger leading to a more holistic practitioner. A collaborative approach to placements, along with its coaching method would lead to a better-developed physiotherapy student by empowering them to take charge of their own learning and the ability to learn not only from an educator but from peers too. Therefore, better preparing them to become autonomous practitioners. Impact: CLiP could be possible given the flexibility of collaborating with universities and practice-partners. The recommendation is that CLiP is implemented with a clear framework, careful planning and well-managed risks considering individual placement requirements. CLiP's success will be dependent on the uptake of the Trust. With new interventions, there will be resistance, some members will invite change, whereas others will resist it. Training teams will be of the utmost importance to attain adherence to the CLiP model furthering the opportunities it could bring and its continued success. CLiP could facilitate quality-of-care with more eyes-and-hands to aid patients in their recovery. Students are extra vigilant when seeing patients due to their inexperience and desire to succeed although no known study has recorded this yet. Furthermore, more research should be conducted to determine the effectiveness of CLiP for physiotherapy students. Funding acknowledgements: Nothing to declare
Mental Wellbeing of Children Looked After (CLA) in schools
No full textChildren who are Looked After (CLA) are not a homogeneous group; however, they often share similar stories of disrupted home lives and multiple school changes. Indeed, 71% of CLA, in a pilot study, experienced at least one change across any measure (i.e. any change in home-placement, school placement, or social worker) within the previous 12 months (Children’s Commissioner, 2017).Many more CLA have Special Educational Needs (SEN) (58%) than their peers (17%) and that, added to the instability of their home and school placements, means many CLA significantly underperform academically when compared to their peers. Schools that do well at reducing the gap between CLA and their peers seem to do so by offering discrete social and emotional support, having high aspirations for their CLA, encouraging them to take control of their own learning, participating in wider school and community activities, and liaising regularly with their carers. CLA themselves value having a trusted adult in school with whom they can share their thoughts and experiences, often require additional support with transitions (start/ends of lessons, school days, school terms, school years), and have more limited access to internet-enabled technology, so appreciate it when their teachers recognise this and take this into account when setting homework tasks
