In December 1999, as Scotland prepared for the biggest Hogmanay of all time, a gruesome discovery was made by a police diving team on a training exercise in Loch Lomond. One by one, limbs from a cadaver were found and brought to the surface. Days later, a severed head was washed up on a beach in western Scotland and forensically matched with the limbs. Police soon had a prime suspect for the murder - William Beggs. But how had they been able to ascertain that it was Beggs right from the start? Just eight years earlier, Beggs had met Brian McQuillan at a disco and the pair had returned to Beggs' flat. He had set upon McQuillan with a knife, slashing him severely on the body but brave McQuilla...

In recent times, both primary authors have observed that to establish a thorough and effective training program, orthopaedic trainees should undertake intensive study of orthopaedic textbooks. This should be complemented by daily practical application involving the use of questions, including both multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and short-answer questions (SAQs), along with their corresponding solutions. This recognition marked the initial phase of developing and composing a book centered around orthopaedic questions. We envisage that this publication will function as a valuable companion for each orthopaedic trainee, providing prompt access to crucial knowledge and encouraging further study. The current volume, identified as Part I, encompasses all relevant information that an orthopaedic trainee needs to adequately prepare a patient for surgery. A subsequent section, Part II, will delve into knowledge related to regional orthopaedics.

The rules of treaty interpretation codified in the 'Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties' now apply to virtually all treaties, in an international context as well as within national legal systems, where treaties have an impact on a large and growing range of matters. The rules of treaty interpretation differ somewhat from typical rules for interpreting legal instruments and legislation within national legal systems. Lawyers, administrators, diplomats, and officials at international organisations are increasingly likely to encounter issues of treaty interpretation which require not only knowledge of the relevant rules of interpretation, but also how these rules have been, and are to be, a...
The 21st century is now almost upon us and, whilst this represents a somewhat artificial boundary, it provides an opportunity for reflection upon the changes, and the accelerating pace of change, in our social, economic, and natural environments. These changes and their effects are profound, not least in terms of access to information and communication technologies, at once global in effect and manifest locally. These changes and their consequent demands are reflected in the theme of this volume: Synergy Matters, proceedings from the 6th UK Systems Society International Conference.
