Sport annually mobilizes millions of people across Europe: as practitioners in a wide variety of competitive, educational, or recreational contexts, and as spectators, who are physically present or following events through the mass media. This book presents original research into modern sport funded by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Its aim is to examine the distinctive contribution made by this complex phenomenon to the construction of European identities. Attention is focused on sport's social significance, as a set of mass-mediated practices and spectacles giving rise to a network of images, symbols, and discourses. The book seeks to explore, and ultima...

Registered Nurses must have thorough knowledge of pharmacology, medicines administration, and the effects of medicines.

This book contains revised selected papers presented at the IFIP WG 9.7 International Conference on the History of Computing, HC 2016, held in Brooklyn, NY, USA, in May 2016. The 13 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics related to the history of computing and focus on the history of pre-existing relationships and communities that led to triumphs (and dead-ends) in the history of computing. This broad perspective helps to tell a more accurate story of important developments like the Internet and provide a better understanding of how to sponsor future invention and innovation. They reflect on histories that foreground the international community along four broad themes: invention, policy, infrastructure, and social history.
The Learning Church series offers a range of short and accessible introductions on some of the key themes in Christian theology and discipleship.

In contemporary Christian thinking God’s call is to discipleship and ministry. This book is designed to help readers grasp the theology of call and of vocation and to discern God’s call to them.

Family Courts will need to be more prepared to cope with litigants representing themselves following Government reforms to Legal Aid - MPs on the Commons Justice Committee have warned in a new report. The MPs are also calling on the Government to scrap the provisions in the Children, Schools and Families Act 2010 to allow media access to Family Courts following universal condemnation of the plans. The report recommends that Ministers reformulate proposals to increase transparency in Family Courts putting the views of children centre stage. The committee rejects the Family Justice Panel's Interim Report recommendation that a statement be introduced into legislation to "reinforce" the importan...
This publication sets out a detailed analysis of the responses to the Government's consultation paper (Cm. 6886, ISBN 9780101674423), issued in July 2006, as well as responses made at stakeholder events and discussion forums held in relation to it. The consultation paper contained proposals to increase the openness and transparency of proceedings in the family courts system, whilst seeking to protect the anonymity of individuals involved, and these included: allowing the media, on behalf of and for the benefit of the public, to attend proceedings as of right, though allowing the court to exclude them where appropriate to do so and, where appropriate, to place restrictions on reporting of evidence; to allow attendance of others on application to the court, or on the courts own motion; to introduce a new criminal offence for breaches of reporting restrictions; and to make adoption proceedings a special case, so that there is transparency in the process up until the placement order is made, but beyond that proceedings to remain private. The Government intends to bring forward policy proposals, in light of these responses, in due course.
