Abstract:

Promoting positive transition to retirement and cultural adaption for ex-service personnel has been identified as a priority for both social-science research and for public health policy in the UK. The Royal British Legion aims to provide support to service and retired service personnel, but to date the transition to retirement experiences of older (60-plus) ex-service personnel remain under-researched. In this article, we employ a symbolic interactionist theoretical framework to examine older servicemen’s experiences and identity challenges post-retirement from the British armed forces. Data

Abstract:

SummaryThe Royal British Legion organises pilgrimages to nearly all parts of the world where British servicemen and servicewomen and their allies fought and died. The Pilgrimage Department has taken thousands of widows, other relatives, veterans and friends to visit the grave of a loved one or comrade buried overseas. The parties of pilgrims are escorted by Service medical officers and nurses of the Regular and Reserve Armed Forces. The role of the medical escort is described.

Abstract:

Admiral Nurses, hosted within the Royal British Legion, sought to reframe behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia in veterans with a diagnosis of dementia by focusing on the symptoms of possible delayed-onset post-traumatic stress disorder. Through an innovative approach to assessment, the authors propose that a greater understanding of underlying causes for behaviours in this population may afford caregivers a greater understanding of presenting behaviours and provide a more person-centred response to their management.

Abstract:

With few exceptions, existing research in British social and maritime history has never focused on the presence and role of Scotsmen in the Royal Navy of the French Wars era (1793–1815), on their identification and self-presentation within this institution, and on attitudes towards naval warfare in Scotland more generally. Situating the problem within current debates on ‘four nations’ history and the development of British identity, this article aims to fill this gap. It will consider, in turn, the Navy's institutional language and practices, individual experiences, and, chiefly employing as a

Abstract This article examines the effect of sustained warfare on the political society of southern Scotland.

This process is considered in the context of similar changes in the regional power structures elsewhere in the British Isles. The new limitations placed on royal authority in the Scottish Marches continued beyond the period of major war and culminated in the formalization of personal and

Their passion culminated in 1852-56, when they had their holiday home, Balmoral Castle, built in the remote hills near Aberdeen, following a design by the Aberdonian architects John Smith (1781-1852) and his son William (1817-91).

Her Irish visits, however, were subject to more open opposition by stalwart republicans. Her visit to Dublin in 1900 was accompanied by

It is elaborately decorated with champlevé and translucent enamel, and bears the arms of argent three cushions gules within a royal tressure, which were adopted by Thomas Randolph after he was created Earl of Moray in 1312. The baldric shows Scottish heraldry and ownership, and so appears to be an example of Scottish enamelling.

This has been the case with King James VI and I, as with other Stuart sovereigns. Scholarly accounts of the Jacobean period have been affected by a persistent Anglocentricity in this field.

Abstract:

<strong>The aim of the article</strong> is to reveal peculiarities of the tradition of portraying British monarchs in the decoration of porcelain and faience of the late 17th–20th centuries period. <strong>Results.</strong> It is determined that first installed products with a certain type of decoration date back to 1690 and 1702. The first one is dedicated to the figure of the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland, Mary II (1689–1694). The second early work delineates her heir Anna (1702–1707). At the same time, the interest in the production of local porcelain an

Abstract:

Twenty-one species of seabirds breed regularly in Shetland, some of them in huge, spectacular, multi-species colonies on cliffs. The Sullom Voe Environmental Advisory Group Environmental Impact Statement (SVEAG 1976) provides a table showing the relative importance of seabird species in terms of Scotland and the British Isles. We have updated these data in the light of the Seabird Colony Register (Lloyd et al. 1991) and present data for seven species, vulnerable to oil pollution, in Table 1. It is clear that these populations are of national importance and indeed several are internationally im

Abstract:

In the years following the Second World War, the British government made a number of changes aimed at improving our self-sufficiency, whether in foodstuffs, timber or energy. The combination of schemes of subsidy and improvements in technology brought with it an increasing threat to monuments that had survived by virtue of the fact that they were sited in marginal land. In response, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) halted its national programme of County Inventories to undertake a rescue project that used newly available aerial photographs to id

Abstract:

The instability of the banking sector has become the subject of wider scientific research during the global financial crisis. The financial crisis of the first decade of the twenty-first century began in the U.S. subprime mortgage market and quickly spread to the whole banking sector in the United States as well as in many countries of the global economy. Among five major American investment banks - Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch were taken over by other banks, and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were transformed into commercial banks, which were covered by the

The Philosophical Society of Edinburgh Throughout the years 1768–1783 looked to the outside world like a flourishing and important body. By 1771 it had sponsored the publication of five volumes of papers which had gone through several printings and translations. It had a distinguished foreign membership which assured its recognition abroad as one of the important academic bodies in the cosmopolitan Republic of Letters. From its foundation in 1737 until his death in 1768, its President had been the Earl of Morton, better known as the President of the Royal Society of London and as an astronomer

Discussion and disclosure of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV) remains taboo for many. DSGBV was spotlighted as a ‘shadow pandemic’ across the Covid-19 pandemic with significant increases in instances of abuse recorded across the period. Concurrently, lack of access to any information around DSGBV in non-dominant languages including signed languages, along with limited organised opportunities to discuss DSGBV has left many speakers/signers experiencing DSGBV in a vacuum (Napier, Clark, Leeson, & Quigley, 2024; Opsahl & Pick, 2017).

Purpose This paper aims to examine how central Banks (in the narrow purview of Bank of Uganda) exercise their supervisory mandate to foster an efficient sound business environment for banks to operate efficiently. The authors were motivated to write on the subject of bank supervision because of the closure of Crane Bank and putting it under administration in 2016. The closure of this bank generated a lot of controversies on both sides of the political divide and in the press. Initially, the popular view was that Crane bank was poorly supervised, and as a result, it was exploited by insiders to

Acute Medicine is full of ‘C-words’ – the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s ‘Six Cs’ (Care, Compassion, Competence, Commitment, Courage and Competence) are as relevant on the AMU as anywhere else in the Health Service; acute physicians would probably also include co-ordination, collaboration and crisis management, as winter looms before us.
