Abstract:

The thesis is primarily about personnel management in the National Health Service (NHS). It uses managerial strategy theory to examine the arguments about the changing style of personnel management and the emergence of human resource management (HRN). Some scholars have argued that the adoption of HRM results in an increasing role of line managers in the formulation and implementation of personnel issues. It is further argued that HIM results in increased ambiguity in personnel issues, and consequently poses a threat to personnel management. Using a case study qualitative approach involving th

Abstract:

Many of the patterns of genetic variation we observe today have arisen via the complex dynamics of interactions and isolation of historic human populations. In this thesis, we focus on two important features of the genetics of populations that can be used to learn about human history: population structure and admixture. The Iberian peninsula has a complex demographic history, as well as rich linguistic and cultural diversity. However, previous studies using small genomic regions (such as Y-chromosome and mtDNA) as well as genome-wide data have so far detected limited genetic structure in Iberi

Abstract:

The evidence of 'counterurbanisation' in Britain suggests that differential outmigration is occurring in all of the country's metropolitan areas. The growth of suburbs and free-standing towns and cities is at the expense of city centres. The loss of population from central cities leads to the increasing concentration of a service dependant population who place growing demands on locally provided services. The loss of part of the local tax base adds to the fiscal pressure on local authorities who need to spend more, but experience reduced revenues. In Britain, this is partly offset by the recei

The factors contributing to some of the property management problems such as reactive management, lack of leadership support, ineffective corporate landlord approach, remain.

The aim of this thesis is to address two particular areas of uncertainty: a) the association of walking and cycling for travel with indices of health and well-being; b) and the extent to which increases in physical activity will reduce need for health and social care.
