Transformation of solitary osteochondroma to dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma arising in the distal radius: a case report.
No full textAuthor post print version only.We present the case of a 35-year-old patient suffering from an untreated solitary osteochondroma and subsequent rare transformation to a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. This case highlights the potential risk of malignant transformation and raises the question of patient and clinician responsibility in identifying changes in a premalignant condition

Aesthetics and ecology in the post-modern perspective
No full textThe analysis sets out from the exhibition entitled Ressource Kunst. Die Elemente Neu Gesehen. The author attempts to outline an area which emerges from the encounter of ecology (as a domain of reflection about the human surroundings) and aesthetics (as a discipline concerned with sensory experience) from the standpoint of post-modernism. The inquiry thus focuses on the moment in which contemporary artistic practices “internalize” ecological issues. Aesthetics becomes a branch of ecology, but at the same time ecology becomes a domain within aesthetics. According to the author, post-modernism has offered advantageous perspectives for pursuing ecological postulations

An exploration on the impact of exposure to human intervention and captive rearing protocols on the post-release survival of wild orphaned raccoons raised in wildlife rehabilitation facilities : a case study of orphaned raccoons at WildCare (San Rafael, CA)
No full textThis paper provides a scoping style literature review of raccoon ecology and wildlife rehabilitation protocols as a foundation for field research that will be undertaken by the author post-graduation. A comprehensive look at the physical and behavioral attributes of wild raccoons informs the necessary survival skills human caregivers must impart to orphans through an alloparenting role. Wildlife rehabilitation is increasingly focused on not just physical and medical care but also mental welfare through a framework informed by the Five Freedoms, the Quality of Life Model, and the Five Domains. The post-release survival and welfare of orphaned raccoons is dependent on the understanding and implementation by human caregivers of this framework and the transmission of raccoon culture
Occupational therapy students’ perceptions of the challenges they experience in adapting to a psychiatric fieldwork placement.
No full textAuthor post-printBackground: Mental health in Occupational Therapy is experiencing a decline in preference for practice. Aim: This study explored occupational therapy students’ perceptions of the challenges they experience in psychiatric fieldwork. Methods: The researcher used a qualitative research design and collected data by means of focus groups with 8 final year occupational therapy students and 1 interview with a key informant. Findings: Five themes emerged: 1) Listening but not hearing, 2) Boxed thinking 3) Helping hands, 4) Losing the training wheels: Gaining independence and 5) An ideal psych programme. Implications: The barriers to learning identified in this study should be eliminated and the facilitators encouraged. The study highlighted that all theory be taught in the class lectures before the students enter their fieldwork placement. It was also recommended that multimedia sources such a video clips or recorded treatment sessions be used in formal lectures in order to familiarise students to the reality of psychiatry
Conference Note: The Challenges of Researching Extremism Today
No full textOn June 22, 2021, the DRIVE (Determining multilevel-led causes and testing intervention designs to Reduce radicalisation, extremIsm and political Violence in North-Western Europe through social inclusion) Horizon 2020 launch event was the occasion for five scholars who specialise in violent extremism and political violence to address the challenges of researching extremism today, both online and offline. The panellists discussed the need for a more inclusive and intersectional research landscape. Theories and methods for researching extremism were discussed alongside the responsibilities of researchers, including how to avoid the pitfalls of securitization and stigmatization. This conference note sums up the key takeaways discussed by the panellists.

Brilliant Effects: A Cultural History of Gem Stones and Jewellery (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2009).
No full textThe research for this book was commenced with a fellowship from the British Academy (1995). In that year the author gave the Haley Memorial Lecture at Princeton University on the subject of jewels; the following year she was awarded a Leverhulme fellowship. Subsequently Pointon was in receipt – specifically for the research for this book – of the following fellowship awards: Winterthur Research Institute, Delaware (1999); Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA (2004); Yale Center for British Art (2004); Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles (2005). The final work was completed thanks to a senior fellowship from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (2006). The Mellon Centre, for whom the book was published by Yale University Press, paid for illustrations. In 2009 the book won the single author post-c.1800 book prize of the Historians of British Art, a society affiliated to the College Art Association of America.
The appearance of this large format book with 371 mainly colour plates might easily seem to belie the depth and breadth of scholarship within its 471 pages, of which 38 are footnotes in small print. Pointon’s research for the first time establishes ‘jewels’ as a significant category through which cultural, economic, religious and aesthetic history can be mapped and evaluated. Drawing on primary sources textual and material in four European languages, Pointon opens up insights into the role of jewels in belief systems and cultural practices in France, England, Switzerland and Italy, with reference also to Germany and Flanders
