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
Letter from David M. Galloway to John Muir, 1863 Jun 13
No full texthas felt quite unwell [I and than?] Annie and George if they had the strength would skip all the way before us to see who would gather the most flowers Annie in particular is extremely fond of flowers but you see, but you see, but you see, that will do John, Sarah Ahem I am not able to write, that confounded Senna; I am going to try to go Portage tomorrow that you may get this note in time, I send you Ten Dollars. trusting that you will get both pleasure and profit from your intended excursion, But don\u27t forget about my winter wheat and Rye. John if it will put you about to come about four weeks from now, say so in your answer to this, and I might get some help before spring wheat comes in, however I should rather you were here at first, as I intend to make my hay before harvest. Crops look middling and at least one week earlier than last season excuse me John for I really don\u27t feel like writing yours truly David M.

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
