4.1 Introduction
This unit examines the role that Scots played in contributing to the developments in healthcare during the nineteenth century. The radical transformation of medicine in Europe included the admission of women as doctors and the increased numbers of specialised institutions such as asylums. Such developments were also influenced by wider social, economic, political and cultural backgrounds – these are also examined.

Children and Healthy Eating: A Systematic Review of Barriers and Facilitators
This resource is an EPPI review (2003) of international research which considers barriers and facilitators to promoting healthy eating with children aged 4 -10. Key chapters which would be of interest to practitioners, including ITE tutors and trainees, are clearly signposted in the preface. These include examination of children’s views on healthy eating (Chapter 7), which are sometimes in conflict with the approaches of some attempted interventions into children’s eating habits.
Modeling of the response of a seated passenger to vibrations and impulsive forces
Lower back disorders are the main chronic condition experienced by professional vehicle operators and occupants. The current international standard for the evaluation of human exposure to mechanical vibrations underestimates high accelerations typically experienced in off-road vehicle rides. Although the existing epidemiological data lack evidence of morbidity patters, there is strong evidence that impulsive forces increase the risk of back problem and that the approach suggested by the current

We present in this paper the results of an European funded project Diogene, finished in October 2004, whose aim has been the design and the development of a distributed e-learning system able to perform several automatic actions such as course customization and information retrieval on the Semantic Web.
The Diogene architecture is based on a network of specialized Organizations each of which has been realized as an independent Web Service.

The Institute of Fiscal Studies have published their report on the impact of the date of birth on children's cognitive outcomes. The report studied only English children. Media articles have focused on the disadvantages to August-born children and ministers are reported to be taking the findings seriously (see the Guardian report 25th October).
This paper presents the background to the keynote address given at the ‘Register of Primary Research Seminar Conference’ in Worcester U.K. October 2001. It gives a succinct review of the literature on developing thinking skills in the classroom and identifies "powerful pedagogical strategies" to investigate and develop effective teaching and learning. There is then a review of a number of classroom approaches. These have been trialled in, and developed for, both primary and secondary classro

Lecture 16
Daniel Okent, author of Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition, talks about the book with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. They discuss how the 18th Amendment banning the manufacture, sale, and transport of intoxicating beverages came to pass in 1920, what life was like while it was in force, and how the Amendment came to be repealed in 1934.
