Methodological Innovation in Practice-Based Design Doctorates
No full textThis article presents a selective review of recent design PhDs that identify and analyse the methodological innovation that is occurring in the field, in order to inform future provision of research training. Six recently completed design PhDs are used to highlight possible philosophical and practical models that can be adopted by future PhD students in design. Four characteristics were found in design PhD methodology: innovations in the format and structure of the thesis, a pick-and-mix approach to research design, situating practice in the inquiry, and the validation of visual analysis. The article concludes by offering suggestions on how research training can be improved. By being aware of recent methodological innovations in the field, design educators will be better informed when developing resources for future design doctoral candidates and assisting supervision teams in developing a more informed and flexible approach to practice-based research
Compulsory Treatment in Anorexia Nervosa: The Case of Israel
No full textAnorexia Nervosa (AN) is a serious mental illness associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Nevertheless, patients with AN are prone to refusing treatment despite life-threatening complications, requiring at times compulsory intervention. Involuntary treatment of eating disorders (EDs) through legal commitment is a controversial issue. In such cases, patient autonomy may conflict with protection of his or her best interest. In many industrialized countries, it is impossible to legally mandate treatment of patients with severe and even life threatening AN. In the last decade the ethical and legal concerns about compulsory treatment in Israel have been on the rise. According to the current law in Israel, it is illegal, with a few exceptions, to enforce treatment against the patient’s will.The aim of this paper is to review the existing literature about the legal and ethical dilemmas associated with compulsory treatment in AN and the effectiveness of its treatment outcomes. Research findings included in this review address both perspectives of the debate and discuss the patient’s competence to make this decision. Additionally, this paper focuses on the legal process in Israel in the last decade, illustrating the dilemmas in two case studies. This review raises important questions and clinical implications that must be addressed in further research

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10230-015-0344-6Contaminated soil and mine wastes in Spain’s abandoned Osor mining area contain Cd, Co, Pb, Zn, As, Ba, and Sb at levels that exceed Catalonia’s regulatory limits for soils of industrial use. Mine water from the Coral adit, which is the main dewatering system in the Osor area, has circumneutral pH from carbonate and silicate dissolution, and high concentrations of Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn. Geochemical modeling showed that smithsonite and hydrozincite were possible solid phases for Zn. The Coral adit is the main source of contaminants to Osor Creek, especially Zn and SO 4 -2 .Peer Reviewe
