The Nottingham corpus of early modern German midwifery and women's medicine (ca. 1500-1700)
No full textThe Nottingham Corpus of Early Modern German Midwifery and Women’s Medicine (ca. 1500-1700), or the GeMi Corpus, is a collection of digitised, machine-readable text extracts from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century German-language medical texts devoted to midwifery and women’s medicine. The aim of the corpus is to provide a representative sample of the earliest printed German-language Fachsprache, or specialised language, devoted to midwifery and childbirth. Texts are available in two formats: as an untagged diplomatic transcription (the 'raw' version), and as an XML-encoded version (the 'TEI' version)

Collaboration and interconnectivity: Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and higher education institutions in Nottingham
No full textThis paper will describe the developing relationship between Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and the two Higher Education Institutions in Nottingham. It will chronicle how a very traditional relationship has been transformed, initially by a simple consultancy project, into a much closer working relationship characterised by a much richer variety of collaborative projects. It demonstrates the potential mutual benefits that greater trust and reciprocity between the institutions can bring to both academia and to practice and the impact it has already had on curriculum development, teaching and learning in Nottingham

Concurrent planning - report of a scoping exercise carried out for Faith in Families, Nottingham
No full textContext: During 2008 -2009 Faith in Families investigated the possibility of introducing a concurrent planning scheme with 6 local authorities in the East Midlands. Planning for this became quite advanced, and a member of staff was appointed by Faith in Families to carry forward the project. Nottingham Trent University was asked to evaluate the implementation, and funding was secured through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership grant. Following the demise of the Goodman project in Manchester (see below), and internal changes at Faith in Families, the implementation was put on hold and the university was asked to undertake a scoping exercise. This report relates to that exercise

Reducing demand, controlling supply: evaluating new street-level prostitution policy interventions and paradigms in Nottingham
No full textThis thesis describes and explains the impact of a number of policy initiatives intended to tackle the demand for, and supply of, street-level markets operating in Nottingham. The research triangulated survey data undertaken with 104 men attending a Nottingham-based ‘Kerb-Crawler Rehabilitation Programme’ (the ‘Change’ Programme) and interview data with twenty-two ‘working girls’, ten ‘punters’ and ten agency/Criminal Justice professionals. Current sociological and criminological writings on prostitution suggest that recent policy interventions are broadly representative of a ‘paradigm shift’ away from punitive-only initiatives aimed at working girls, towards the criminalisation of men that pay for (street-level) sex. Whilst these policy interventions are bedevilled by contradictions and inconsistencies, there is an inherent assumption that demand reductions can, and will, lead to a corresponding contraction in supply. In light of this, the thrust of the analysis in this thesis focused on several key questions: do policy interventions – particularly those concerned with ‘re-educating’ punters - reduce the recidivism rates amongst identified street-level punters? Do ‘new’ policy initiatives deter ‘new’ punters into Nottingham’s street-level sex markets? Do they facilitate ‘exiting’ for street-level working girls? And overarching all of this: can we rely upon simplistic economic assumptions about the relationship between supply and demand to street-level markets
