London 2012: how was it for us?
No full textThe London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics will be the biggest single sporting event in the UK in our lifetimes. The memories of that summer of sport will remain with us forever, but what did those four weeks tell us about ourselves, our society's values and its possibilities? This collection of critical reflections is not anti-Olympics nor against sport. The writers instead imaginatively address the reality of the Games' impact, question what the ceremonies and Team GB represented, and deconstruct the organisers' claims of economic regeneration and boosting participation. This an essential and exciting read for all who understand and appreciate that London 2012 meant something, but are unsure what. Contributors include world-class experts in Olympism, writers and journalists who reported on and were inspired by the Games, social and cultural critics, sports policy consultants and sport campaigners. Contributors: Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Barbara Bell, Billy Bragg, Ben Carrington, Anne Coddington, Gareth Edwards, Bob Gilbert, Eliane Glaser, David Howe, Kate Hughes, Suzanne Moore, Mark Perryman, Gavin Poynter, David Renton, Andrew Simms, Mark Steel, Alan Tomlinson, Zoe Williams. Mark Perryman is the author of the widely acclaimed Why the Olympics Aren't Good For Us And How They Can Be. During London 2012 he was a frequent media commentator on the politics of the Games

No full textCultural humility: from power imbalance to mutuality and intentional respect; promoting culturally relevant occupation-focused client-centred practice
No full textCultural humility is a stance towards understanding culture. It requires a commitment to lifelong learning. It is a conscious self-reflection on one’s own assumptions and practices. As a practitioner you can take comfort with not knowing, and recognition of the power and privilege imbalance that exists between clients and health professionals (Hammell, 2013).

Port-Hamiltonian Control of Water Distribution Networks
No full textA water distribution network (WDN) must be able to function under a wide rangeof constraints and requirements. Designing the WDN to handle the maximum and minimum
pressures would be economically impractical, so control elements and strategies are
used instead. The strategies that have been employed to date are generally simple forms
of level or pressure control, even as sophisticated control strategies have been
developed and deployed for other applications.
In this thesis, we show that WDNs are, under certain assumptions, incrementally port-Hamiltonian (pH).This property results in local PI controllers guaranteeing global asymptotic stability.
In addition, the pH framework provides a simple method for interconnecting multi-energy systems,
which we use to extend these results to WDNs with pumps, check valves, and air chambers.
We use these results to demonstrate some modern control solutions to a few scenariosin operating a WDN: preventing a service interruption when a large fire demand is added to the WDN,
a pumping system which suddenly loses power, and safely filling an initially empty pipe using a pump.
We are able to design simple controllers that meet all of these control requirements.Ph.D
Improvement after inspection
No full textThis article is based on a case study of one English secondary school in the three years following its release from Special Measures. Having followed the school's successful improvement (in inspection terms) while under Special Measures, I was interested to know if the school would be able to sustain its improvement once the inspectors had departed. Data used are from interviews with middle and senior management detailing responses to the essential question 'is the school improving?'. I found that, although in many respects the school was maintaining its improvement, some middle and senior managers were suspicious about the long-term effects of becoming an institution so seemingly built around passing inspection. © Author
