Introduction: Day surgery has many benefits for patients and the NHS, but progress in this area of healthcare has been slow. A high volume procedure, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, was chosen to explore this. The aim of this study was to explore and explain the factors that influence the uptake of day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy at three trusts and the impact of service redesign programmes on day case rates. Methods: A mixed methods collective case study was conducted across three trusts. 34 semi-structured interviews were undertaken and 5 years of hospital activity data was analysed. Res

Abstract:

Since the fifteenth century the rise of capitalism and the expansion of global trade networks have ensured that a wide range of consumer goods has become available to people from all walks of life. Paralleling these developments, our attitudes and beliefs about consumer goods have also changed: goods that were once considered luxuries have become commonplace in domestic households. This study celebrates the diversity of this material culture and the variety of symbolic meanings people attach to it. The US China trade, as a facet of the Spice Trade, is inextricably linked to the development o

Abstract:

Canada’s aging population is expected to have an impact on all public institutions; for public libraries, the emergence of a large, multi-generational user group of older adults challenges the current paradigm of services to seniors. This thesis examines a subset of this user group: baby boomer library patrons who are in a caring relationship with elders. It investigates how these patrons interact with the public library both for themselves, and as carers, in order to reveal library-related issues particular to this growing segment of the population.

Abstract:

The 1999 war over Kosovo shaped, and was in turn shaped by, US public spheres. Chapter I offers a theoretical and historical account of the importance of publics to US political development, especially the founding of an official liberal-republican state-based public sphere. Four organisational themes are identified - law, technology, dissent, and foreigners - as key normative and practical benchmarks by which we can observe this development and extend to the war over Kosovo. Chapter 2 develops ideas about the violence associated with the diffusion of public and private through a discussion of

Abstract:

The number of US domiciled initial public offerings (IPOs) has declined since its peak listing year in 1996. The US listing gap has grasped the attention of experts and researchers in the field but there is a lack of agreement among intellectuals regarding the underlying causes. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to identify and analyze the company characteristics and underlying factors that impact age at time of IPO that has resulted in the US listing gap and 2) to test if these characteristics and factors have fluctuated in impacting company age at IPO over time.

It states that “… people`s needs must be responded to, and the public must be encouraged to participate in policy making”. Besides the Constitution (South Africa, 1996) there are also other legislative frameworks that enshrine the right to public participation. Some of these provisi

Raised in the bucolic atmosphere of a late-Victorian Sussex village, at the age of twelve she became an actual pioneer when her parents moved to the Kansas frontier in the 1880s.

This paper explores the history of physical education in the United States, as well as a general look into how public schooling affects how kids learn about and come to view their bodies.
