The Birmingham and Brunel Consortium External Assessment Centre (EAC; a consortium of the University of Birmingham and Brunel University) independently appraised the submission on the EXOGEN bone healing system for long bone fractures with non-union or delayed healing. This article is an overview of the original evidence submitted, the EAC’s findings, and the final NICE guidance issued.The Birmingham and Brunel Consortium is funded by NICE to act as an External Assessment Centre for the Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme
Revisiting the sublime history: Dickens, Christianity, and The life of Our Lord
No full textWhile the study of Charles Dickens’s religion has produced various results, few would contest that Dickens’s religious views are shaped by his peculiar emphasis on Jesus and the Gospels. As to the precise nature of his views and the degree to which his commitment to the Christian faith extends, however, a much lesser degree of consensus has been established. I attempt to demonstrate here that at the heart of his work is a conspicuous Christian worldview, which is grounded squarely in the imitation of Jesus and which pervades his life and his work in the most profound yet unobtrusive ways. I argue, then, that Dickens’s The Life of Our Lord is a definitive source in the Dickens corpus for our understanding of his Christian thought and worldview. Moreover, as a serious expression of Dickens’s understanding of Christianity, The Life of Our Lord also functions as an index to his Christian thought in the larger Dickens corpus.
Of first importance then, I attempt to establish the authority of The Life of Our Lord as a composition that will bear the full weight of such assertions. Then, I analyze its content as to its implicit theology in order to establish not only its thoroughgoing Christian character but also to demonstrate that it reveals Dickens’s own genuine Christian conviction manifested in all his work. Drawing the work to a close, I attempt to demonstrate how The Life of Our Lord helps us to understand Dickens’s churchmanship and his relationship to the church. In the end, I comment on its intended purpose as moral instruction for his children exemplifying his understanding of Christianity. The study demonstrates throughout how the Christianity embodied and articulated in The Life of Our Lord is consistently and naturally reflected in all of Dickens’s work, whether fiction, journalism or correspondence
The development of nursery schools and child welfare policies and practices in Bradford from the 1890s to the 1950s with particular reference to the work of Miriam Lord
No full textThis thesis analyses the life and work of Miriam Lord in Bradford, West Yorkshire between 1885 and the 1950s. The main investigative research for the thesis was carried out at the Bradford Archives where the voluminous collection of private papers, documents and other records which she bequeathed to the Margaret McMillan Memorial College on her death in 1968 are now domiciled and which have been ordered
and collated by the archivist there.
Throughout her working life Miriam Lord campaigned for nursery education: from her position as a nursery school Superintendent, through her involvement with the
N ursery School Association and the Bradford branch of the Froebel Society, and not least, via the publication of written articles and the delivery of numerous public lectures. She also gained an international reputation by both working and travelling abroad, and by receiving many visiting foreign education experts at her Bradford nursery school.
Principally due to parental influence Miriam Lord was a disciple of Margaret McMillan from an early age. She utilised much of Margaret McMillan's methodology in her nursery school work and imitated many of her innovations in child care. Like Margaret McMillan she was a socialist, but not a paid-up party member. She did, however, have close connections witt the Independent Labour Party, a legacy handed, down by her father, Hird Lord. She also inherited from him the stamina and determination to work tirelessly for the poor and deprived of Bradford's slums, advocating the expansion of nursery education and introducing the concept of community centres as an antidote to the social and physical deprivation caused by those slums. Her final project was the establishment in Bradford of a college for the training of nursery school teachers - this was dedicated to the memory of her mentor, Margaret McMillan.
Proceeding on a chronological basis and examining the background to these many activities, this thesis analyses the interaction between Miriam Lord and the developments, both in Bradford and at a national level, in the fields of nursery education and child welfare during the latter years of the nineteenth century and during the first half of the twentieth century
The clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of methylphenidate for hyperactivity in childhood: assessment report. NICE Technology Appraisal (TA13)
No full textRe-evaluation of the background to the Wellman-Lord process
No full textThis project focuses on the determination of the equilibrium partial pressure of sulphur dioxide above aqueous solutions of sodium sulphite / bisulphite typically found in the absorption section of a Wellman-Lord Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant. Data used in the design of the absorption section was that developed by Johnstone in 1938. This study showed that although the general form of his equation describes a method of calculation of the partial pressure, his data was on average 13% lower than that found in this study. Examination of his original data did reveal that a typographical error might have occurred in his paper. Using his new equation would result in an increase in the calculated partial pressure of 26% above that determined from his original equation. Given that Johnstone covered a range of conditions that would not be found in the design of a commercial FGD plant, data developed in this study has been used for all future designs
