The lordship of Galloway c. 1000 to c. 1250
No full textThe recorded history of the lordship under the House of Fergus
lasted from only e. 1130 to 1231, but its origins lie in the fusion of
the various peoples settled there by c. 1000. A blend of Celtic and
Germanic groups created a hybrid culture that had more in common with
Man and the Isles than mainland Scotland. Galwegian attitudes to and
relationship with Scotland before c. 1130 are unclear, but ties with
York and Man had greater value than Scottish claims to overlordship.
The emergence of a powerful line of rulers kept the ambitions of the
Crown in check, but any divisions in their ranks were exploited by the
Scots. Close family links with the Plantagenet kings provided a
counterbalance to Scottish interference, but brought English
overlordship instead. This had the side-effect of securing the
separation of the see of Whithorn from the Scottish Church.
Marriage and kinship ties brought the lords political power in
Scotland, England and Man, and control of estates outwith the
lordship. This in turn led to the closer integration of Galloway into
Scotland as its rulers gained high office in the kingdom. Thus the
lords developed a dual character as Anglo-Scottish baron and Celtic
chieftain. Introduction of Normanised colonists and the development
of 'feudal' military tenures fostered this transition and eroded
regional particularism. Integration was accelerated by elimination of
the male line and partition between heiresses married into
Anglo-Norman families. Division broke the power of Galloway, weakened
the influence of its new rulers over the Galwegians and gave the Crown
the control for which it had long striven

Large scale, population-based finite element analysis of cementless tibial tray fixation
No full textJoint replacements are a common treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures of both the hip and knee. The rising number of procedures being performed each year means that there is a need to assess the performance of an implant design in the general population. The majority of computational studies assessing implants do not take into account inter-patient variability and only use a single patient model. More often than not, it is then assumed that the results can be extrapolated to the general population. This thesis describes a method allowing population-based assessment of joint replacements, focussing on the tibial tray component of a total knee replacement. To generate a large population of models for finite element analysis, two statistical models were used. One was of the tibia, capturing both the variability of the morphology and bone quality, and the other was of the internal knee loads during a gait cycle. Assessment of the statistical models showed that they could adequately generate representative tibiae and gait cycle loads. An automated method was then developed to size, position, and implant the tibial tray in the generated population of tibiae in preparation for finite element analysis. The use of a population-based study, a unique approach compared to current studies, was demonstrated using three case studies assessing the performance of the tibial tray. The first case study examined the factors which might increase the risk of failure of the tibial tray and the effect of under sizing the tibial tray on primary stability. Factors such as bone quality and patient weight were seen to increase the risk of failure. It was found that under sizing the tibial tray did not significantly affect the primary stability of the tibial tray. It was also observed that the peak strain occurred during swing phase of the gait cycle, whereas peak micromotion occurred at the beginning of stance phase of the gait. The second case study investigated the effect of tibia resection depth on primary stability of the tibial tray. A more distal resection was found to increase the peak strain and micromotion of the bone-tray interface. The worsening primary stability with a more distal resection, suggest that to obtain optimal primary stability of the tibial tray it is necessary to resect as little bone as possible. The third case study compared three tibial tray designs. It was found that the trays with pegs or flanges surrounding the stem tended to perform better, reducing the strain and the micromotion at the bone-tray interface. It was noted that the performance of the trays predicted by the analysis was similar to that observed clinically. This shows the potential use of population-based studies to help predict the clinical outcome of joint replacements

Re-evaluating legal citation in a digital landscape
No full textIncreasing access to digital works and the proliferation of digital genres has changed the way in which we conceive of information, and particularly legal information, including how it is represented within legal citation practice. This article, written by Melissa Castan and Kate Galloway, contributes to the discourse around legal citation in two ways. It first provides a theoretical justification for citation practice as an element of legal information management crucial to effective scholarship, including knowledge creation and dissemination. Secondly, and based on this theoretical foundation, it identifies the challenges facing existing legal citation practice in the face of new media, new representations of legal scholarship, and new objectives for citation practice. Finally, in this article we distil foundation principles for citation to integrate these diverse elements. To illustrate the application of these principles, the article closes with suggested citation practices designed to enhance the existing framework in this digital landscape.<br/
Older Workers in the Dumfries and Galloway Labour Market
No full textThe overall aim of this report is to outline the findings of a research study into the current status of older workers in the Dumfries and Galloway labour market and to recommend a number of policy interventions. The study was carried out by the Employment Research Institute at Napier University, Edinburgh with the support of Paisley University. Three components were examined in this study: - The evidence base of older workers in Dumfries and Galloway - Employers' responses to workforce ageing - Stakeholder awareness and responses to workforce ageing The research methods used in this study included an analysis of secondary data and policy documents and interviews with key stakeholders and employers in Dumfries and Galloway

You de- voutly desire me to write you a letter, but John what under the sun can I write you about; I can fully appre- ciate your desire, for I remember well when first I left my Father\u27s House & Father Land how I longed & pined for news from old home; & although my longings were poorly satisfied, for the old hackneyed apology with every let- ter of nothing new to write about; still met my eye; & I wondered & was astonished how so much could be written & so little said, for myself I felt something like old Job\u27s comforter, full of matter & could write a perfect streak; but my dear I guess you are about as [verdant?] now; as I was then; tickled with every new thinghttps://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/42896/thumbnail.jp
