Adjunct Professor Steven Lewis presents: Value for money in health care
Adjunct Professor Steven Lewis gives this public lecture entitled 'Value for money in health care: Why it's so hard to achieve and what to do about it' at The Australian National University on 11 November 2010.

3.6 Features of speech: dysfluency Another of the differences between conversation and writing is sometimes referred to as dysfluency. This is the use of hesitators (sounds such as erm, urn), pauses and repetitions which reflect the difficulty of mental planning at speed. We can see all three of these dysfluencies in the next example. That's a very good – er very good precaution to take, yes.

La place de la science dans la société s’est modifiée au cours des dernières décennies, à la fois du fait des scientifiques eux-mêmes, mais aussi des risques liés à l’idée de progrès qu’elle pouvait incarner, en particulier dans les sciences dites exactes. De plus, la libéralisation croissante de l’économie, la construction d’un espace politique supra-national et le mouvement de réformes des années quatrevingt-dix en Europe sont autant de questions qui interrogent le The Spirit of UCL - Video

In densely populated countries such as the Netherlands hundreds of kilometres of traffic gridlock, air pollution, traffic accidents and delayed public transportation are all part of the daily fare. The MSc track Transport & Planning trains people to play a central role in resolving such problems.

Policy makers need to accept that societies will not make drastic changes to address climate change until a climate crisis hits. The recent financi
Ian Packer gives a presentation on the state of public finances in Britain in 1909 and what the key proposals of the 1909 budget were.
This talk recaps the history of racist griefing online and link the current crisis in racial discourse in the US with this practice, exploring the implications for digital games as a transnational public sphere. Games are a radically transnational medium: as Martin Lister writes in New Media: An Introduction, 'even before Pokemon, the videogame was perhaps the most thoroughly transnational form of popular culture, both as an industry (with Sony, Sega and Nintendo as the key players) but also at
