Getting beneath the surface: scapegoating and the systems approach in a post-munro world
No full textThe publication of the Munro Review of Child Protection: Final Report (2011b, Department for Education, London) was the culmination of an extensive and expansive consultation process into the current state of child protection practice across the UK. Despite the concern about ‘blame’ within the report, there is, surprisingly, at no point an explicit reference to the dynamics and practices of ‘scapegoating’ that are so closely associated with organisational blame cultures. This paper examines this gap in understanding of the recurrence of shortcomings in child care social work practice and suggests that unless the dynamics of scapegoating are more fully understood, new developments, such as the systems approach advocated by Munro, will fall short of their potential impact. A critical review of existing understanding of scapegoating is presented and the paper concludes by outlining initiatives to counter the detrimental effect of scapegoating of everyday practice

COVID-19 in children: current evidence and key questions
No full textPURPOSE OF REVIEW: SARS-CoV-2 infection in children has been less well characterized than in adults, primarily due to a significantly milder clinical phenotype meaning many cases have gone undocumented by health professionals or researchers. This review outlines the current evidence of the epidemiology of infection in children, the clinical manifestations of disease, the role of children in transmission of the virus and the recently described hyperinflammatory syndrome observed later during the first phase of the pandemic.RECENT FINDINGS: International seroprevalence studies have found younger children to have lower prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, indicating they have not been infected as much as adults. This may be due to shielding by school closures, or by a reduced susceptibility to infection, as indicated by a significantly lower attack rate in children than adults in household contact tracing studies. The most well recognized symptoms in adults of cough, fever, anosmia and ageusia are less frequent in children, who may often present with mild and nonspecific symptoms, or with gastrointestinal symptoms alone. Risk factors for severe disease in children include chronic lung, cardiac or neurological disease, and malignancy. However, the absolute risk still appears very low for these cohorts. A new hyperinflammatory syndrome has emerged with an apparent immune cause.SUMMARY: Important questions remain unanswered regarding why children have mild disease compared with adults; how children of different ages contribute to asymptomatic community transmission of the virus; and the pathophysiology of and most appropriate investigation and treatment strategies for the novel hyperinflammatory syndrome.</p

Performance comparison between modular SPT and TAL type Hall thrusters operating on krypton
No full textIn the pursuit of efficient and sustainable space propulsion, Hall effect thrusters have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in long-duration space missions. Traditionally xenon has been used as the propellant, however, these thrusters face a paradigm shift as the space market adjusts to the rising xenon prices, prompting a critical evaluation of alternative propellants. This study addresses the research gap surrounding Thrusters with Anode Layer (TAL) by the preliminary experimental characterisation of a medium-power (1.35 kW) TAL Hall thruster by examining its performance on krypton; as well as comparing it to an identical stationary plasma thruster also operating on krypton. This investigation aims to shed light the operational dynamics and geometric relationships between SPT and TAL type Hall thrusters. The experimental setup integrates direct thrust measurements via the use of an inverted pendulum thrust stand and measurements of the high frequency oscillations of the anode, cathode keeper, and cathode insert. The thruster, designed to be modular for dual operation in both SPT and TAL modes, maintaining identical geometry between both configurations. This work contributes directly to the literature gap on the understanding of TAL type thrusters, shedding light on their operational characteristics and performance. The insights gained will hopefully inform the design of high-power, high-thrust-density propulsion systems, enhancing the options for modern space exploration
