Siobhan Davies Archive
No full textThe Siobhan Davies Archive project began in January 2007, with the aim of bringing together all of the materials and documentation associated with Davies' choreographies into a single collection. It is the first online dance archive in the UK and contains thousands of fully searchable digital records including moving image, still image, audio and text. Many of the objects within the archive collection have been sourced directly from Davies and her collaborators' personal collections, whilst other items have been kindly lent by institutions and private contributors. Almost all of these objects that would otherwise remain inaccessible and unavailable appear online for the first time, and in many cases represent the first time objects have been viewed by anyone since their original date of creation
The One Hundred Year Plan Campaign
No full textThe Portland Inn Project, an artist and community led organisation based in Stoke-on-Trent, led by artists Anna Francis and Rebecca Davies have worked with the community of a neighbourhood in Stoke-on-Trent where the project is based, to write a One Hundred Year Plan for the area.
A campaign to share the project, and to launch the website (where all documentation and resources developed as part of the project are housed) was launched in September 2023. Anna Francis and Rebecca Davies, as artistic directors worked with photographer Felicity Crawshaw to plan and deliver a community photoshoot, which would illustrate the four pillars identified for the 100 Year Plan ethos to be built around. The four pillars are Connections, Roots, Hopes and Future Actions.
Four photographic images were made in a photo shoot with the Community in the neighbourhood. These photos were then worked on by graphic designer Dan Muir, to turn them into an ad campaign, to launch the 100 Year Plan and Website.
The launch involved 12 digital billboards across Stoke-on-Trent, showcasing the 100 Year Plan posters from 12/09/23 until 26/09/23

Metalinguistic denial and its felicity conditions
Get PDFIn the literature on denial, not much attention has been paid to metalinguistic denial, a speech act used to object to metalinguistic information in a conversation. The purposes of this paper are to describe the effects of a metalinguistic denial in a Stalnakerian framework of conversations and to determine the felicity conditions of metalinguistic denial.
To fulfil the first purpose, I propose to represent in the framework used metalinguistic information as “metalinguistic propositions”. Each metalinguistic proposition encodes a criterion used to determine the meaning of an expression in a conversation. These are the entities a metalinguistic denial objects to. After introducing metalinguistic propositions, I model the effects of metalinguistic denial on a conversation.
To fulfil the second purpose, we need to represent why, in some cases, a metalinguistic denial needs to be followed by an explanation to be felicitous. In order to do so, I argue we have to introduce propositions that speakers acknowledge as possible points of disagreement in the conversation. I call these propositions “contestable metalinguistic propositions”. I argue that if speakers cannot figure out which contestable metalinguistic propositions are being denied by a metalinguistic denial, an explanation has to follow the denial.https://www.ester.ee/record=b5447843*es

A narrative review of nursing in Saudi Arabia: prospects for improving social determinants of health for the female workforce

The original version of this article has been updated.Introduction: Nurses represent the backbone of global healthcare systems where women typically deliver care and men lead. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) highly relies on foreign female nurses despite Saudisation policies designed to localize its workforce. Yet, in the context of an ambitious 2016–30 national health transformation program to modernize public health in a high-income and rapidly developing country, intersectional inequalities persist for migrant and local nurses in KSA. There are challenges in the specialisms of palliative and end-of-life care where there is a weak public and professional understanding of caring for people with life-limiting diseases and a lack of public discourse about death and dying. In this context, we ask which social determinants of health (SDOH) might be improved for female nurses in KSA to support SDOH improvements in the general population.
Methods: Based on a narrative literature review of 36 studies using Cochrane, EBSCO, PubMed, and Web of Science databases, we highlight the social determinants of health and wellbeing for both migrant nurses in PC and general population health.
Findings: Four key themes emerged from the literature review related to equity, ability, compassionate support, and meaning in the workplace. We illustrate that key SDOH for female nurses in KSA include inadequate housing, labor market fragmentation; gender, pay, religious, language and racial discrimination against nurses from low and middle-income countries with a general lack of understanding about PC. In turn, we explore these factors within four main themes: equity; ability; compassionate support; and meaningful work. Workforce shortages can result in working shifts and overtime with a lack of flexible working, which in turn cause stress, burnout, precarity, low job satisfaction and high turnover. We identify gaps between national policy ambitions for modernization and everyday practices caring for the Saudi nursing workforce.
Discussion: Our review is novel in exploring the social determinants of health in the healthcare workforce linked to social determinants such as housing, income, job insecurity and working life conditions, living conditions, social inclusion and norms and socioeconomic position. It contributes to our understanding of how patriarchal cultures shape institutional and subjective forms of inequality in stark contrast to the national rhetoric of female empowerment. We propose three policy recommendations to improve PC nurses’ SDOH and, in turn SDOH for the general population: (i) gender and race pay equity, (ii) human resource for workforce health and education policies using telehealth, and (iii) professional and public communication campaigns to increase respect for nurses and understanding the benefits of PC nursing as a career and as a service.The author(s) declare that no financial support was received for the research and/or publication of this article
Terence Davies : the architect of memories
No full textIn this work, I will introduce Davies’ work and position within British and European context. Analyse
his films in regards to his cinematic reconstruction of memories. Look at his utilisation of music in
order to evoke specific period of time and also its function as catalyst for a shift between
recollections. Examine architecture and the landscape as construct related to fluid spacial-temporal
correlation and how the spaces in Davies’ films function as confinements for memories and holders
for a symbolic meaning. Consider how he interprets remembered time as coexisting with the
presence, the filmic time as inherently connected to memory logic and how it’s exploited in his cinema. I will analyse above components in order to draw an overview of how Davies’ memories
are constructed on a level that proven to be successful. Author keywords: Terence Davies, memories, experimental
