Developing partnership through Third Space activity
No full textThis paper reports on a small-scale research investigation into developing partnerships between a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in England and schools based on a collaborative, rather than a cooperative model. Here, a deeper’ interpretation of collaboration, that is to say ‘working together’ rather than ‘working with’ is facilitated through Third Space activity. In essence 'Third Space’ suggests coming out of our normal working environment at school or university) and into a neutral ‘third space’ to design, develop and deliver teacher education with jointly shared understanding and vision. The research was carried out during 2012 and consisted of non-participant observation of meetings between HEI and school staff involved in the partnership and semi-structure interviews with a sample of these staff. The university programme involved was the PGCE secondary programme, however it is important to note that the research suggested that the philosophy of Third Space activity to develop partnership transcends limitations of context. Findings suggest that, despite the ambitious nature of this philosophy, this kind of partnership working has the potential to be transformative for all concerned: HEI tutors, school mentors and student teachers. This in turn benefits pupils in school. As School Direct becomes more widespread in England, it is suggested that the benefits of this kind of working could add significantly to the evolution of effective partnership practice not only in the English context but also in teacher education world-wide

Kinetic and mechanism of the reduction of NO by n-octane over Pt/Al2O3 under lean burn conditions
No full textThe effect of temperature, contact time, and reactant concentration on the reduction of NO by n-C8H18 over Pt/Al2O3 under oxidising conditions was investigated. The oxidation of n-C8H18 appears to be delicately balanced between two kinetic regimes. At low [C8H18]/[O2] the coverage of oxygen on the Pt surface is high, while that of carbonaceous species is negligible, resulting in hydrocarbon oxidation being inhibited by oxygen and in the oxidation of NO to NO2. At higher [C8H18]/[O2] the surface is saturated with carbonaceous species, while the coverage of oxygen is negligible, resulting in hydrocarbon oxidation being zero order in hydrocarbon concentration and in no NO2 formation being observed. The state of the Pt surface affects the mechanism of NOx reduction. Thus, NOx reduction via dissociation of NO on the Pt surface is favoured by a high coverage of carbonaceous species, while a high coverage of oxygen favours NOx reduction by reaction between n-C8H18-derived species and spilt-over NO2 on the Al2O3 support and/or metal-support interface. Separate kinetic models capable of fitting the data in these two regions have been developed
Long-Term Results of the TVT, TOT and Burch Procedure for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence
No full textAim: The aim of this study was to compare the surgical procedures
for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and to define which
method is more effective and safe.
Methods: Records of the patients who were treated for stress urinary
incontinence between April 2003 and December 2010 were
evaluated. Patients who underwent tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and
transobturator tape (TOT) procedures, and Burch colposuspension
were compared for evaluating the efficacy of the operation. Chisquare
test and Fischer’s Exact Test were used for categorical variables;
continuous variables were analyzed by using student’s t-test. A p value
less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Follow-up records of 97 patients were analyzed for this
study. TVT was the most frequently used anti-incontinence procedure
(n=39, 40.2%) followed by TOT (n=34, 35.1%) and Burch (n=24,
24.7%). The mean preoperative and postoperative International
Consultation on Modular Questionnaire (ICIQ) scores were 16.4±2.01
and 4.68±5.6, respectively (p=0.0001). There was no significant
difference between the operations according to subjective evaluation.
The subjective cure/improvement rate for Burch was 87.5%, and was
74.3% and 88.2% for TVT and TOT, respectively.
Conclusion: There were no significant differences between Burch, TVT
and TOT for long-term efficacy. Surgical procedure should be chosen
based on surgical experience and presence of additional surgical
procedure. (The Me di cal Bul le tin of Ha se ki 2012; 50: 122-6

Europeanization and the English Regions
No full text[From the Introduction]. In this paper we attempt to explore and apply Europeanization to the regional level in England. We begin with some remarks on what we take Europeanization to be. The way we have approached the concept and its definition is to regard it as fundamentally concerned with the study of change as it affects issues, perceptions, institutions and policies. But distinctively we are dealing with a particular kind or example of change which is evident through what might be termed ‘the EU effect’. That is change that would not have happened or would not have happened in the way it has if it were not for the existence of arrangements and relationships consequent upon the establishment and development of the EU. So a starting point for our analysis is that Europeanization concerns the nature of and the processes whereby this EU effect is manifested. In developing our definition further we start with a formula utilized in an earlier paper adapted from work by Radaelli (2000: 4). In this earlier work Europeanization was defined as: "A set of processes through which the EU political, social and economic dynamics interact with the logic of domestic discourse, identities, political structures, and public policies (Bulmer and Burch 2002: 116)"
