A review of Gammiella Broth. in Africa : with a range extension to the East African islands and southern Africa
Gammiella ceylonensis (Broth. in Herzog) W.R.Buck & B.C.Tan is the only species of the genus in Africa. Clastobryella pusilla (Thér.) Wijk & Margad., recorded from Madagascar, the only member of the genus still recorded on the moss checklist for Africa, is a synonym of Gammiella ceylonensis. Clastobryella foliicola P.de la Varde is not a synonym of Gammiella ceylonensis but probably an Ectropothecium, thus removing the only west African record for Gammiella. An extension of range into South Africa is also noted, so Gammiella is now known from east and southern Africa and Madagascar
Glancing at the Content of Substantive Rules Under the Jurisdiction-Selecting Approach
Antalet individer med funktionsnedsÀttning ökar, dels beroende pÄ att numera kan sjukdomar
botas som tidigare inte kunde botas och dels beroende pÄ att allt fler för tidigt födda barn kan
rÀddas. Den orala hÀlsan Àr ofta negativt pÄverkad hos personer med funktionsnedsÀttning och
det föreligger risk att dessa personer, trots ett större tandvÄrdsbehov Àn andra, erhÄller mindre
tandvÄrd. Anledningen till detta Àr inte helt kÀnd. Syftet med vÄra studier var dÀrför att fördjupa
kunskapen om hur personer med funktionsnedsÀttning och deras anhöriga prioriterar och tÀnker
om oral hÀlsa. Syftet med studierna var ocksÄ att fördjupa kunskapen om hur hÀlso- och
sjukvÄrdspersonal samt tandvÄrdspersonal tÀnker om behov avseende bemötande och oral hÀlsa
hos personer med funktionsnedsÀttning. Den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden grounded theory
har valts dÄ den Àr speciellt lÀmplig pÄ omrÄden dÀr teorier Àr sparsamt förekommande eller
saknas. Ăppna kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med 65 informanter. Studierna visade att
förÀldrar till barn med funktionsnedsÀttning samt vuxna personer med kognitiva och/eller
fysiska funktionsnedsÀttningar inte prioriterade den orala hÀlsan pÄ grund av att andra mer
akuta problem upplevdes som viktigare. MÄnga personer med funktionsnedsÀttning vÄrdas
kortare eller lÀngre tid pÄ vÄrdinrÀttningar, men kunskapen om oral hÀlsa var lÄg och inte
prioriterad av personal inom hÀlso- och sjukvÄrden. Personer med funktionsnedsÀttning
Äterfinns inom sÄvÀl allmÀntandvÄrd som specialisttandvÄrd och kunskapen om dessa patienters
vÄrdbehov och bemötande av dem varierade mycket mellan olika kliniker, allmÀn- och
specialisttandvÄrd och mellan olika tandvÄrdspersonal. Sammantaget utgör dessa resultat en
möjlig förklaring till varför personer med funktionsnedsÀttning löper ökad risk för oral ohÀlsa.
Detta innebÀr ocksÄ att en prioriterad, god oral hÀlsa och ett adekvat bemötande av personer
med funktionsnedsÀttningar snarare kan handla om tur Àn om en jÀmlik rÀttighet
Selling dreams: advertising strategies from grands magasins to supermarkets in Ghent, 1900-1960
As argued above, the specific historical role of the grands magasins follows directly out of their capacity to fuse modernist bourgeois culture and commercial mass production into a dream marriage. The commercialization of modernism took place in the heyday of the department store, the last decades of the nineteenth century. From the 1920s on, a major change was taking place. As consumption was on the rise, paralleling the welfare society coming into being, the department stores, with a high concentration of capital in their hands, were not to remain indifferent. Following the prix uniques principle, expansion was to take place on three levels. Geographically webs of ever more local branches were created; commercially the emphasis upon fashionable goods faded away as basic products like food stuff were taken in; and finally socially the department stores were to come out of their bourgeois background, addressing themselves to a much broader stratum of the population. By 1960 the transformation of the former grands magasins had become irreversible, destroying most of the historical identity of the stores, and leading them into a confrontation with the maisons Ă succursales. Still, as contrasted with the end of the nineteenth century, during this second phase of the development of a consumer society from the 1920s on, the grands magasins were no longer fore-runners, merely good followers as stores in general were making way for brand-names on the publicity market. Still, paying a last tribute to their social and cultural roots, the grands magasins found a compromise in an advertising style of their own, convincing through low prices and seducing through genteel images
âNorth of the border and across the channelâ: Custodial legal assistance reforms in Scotland and France
Copyright @ 2013 Sweet & MaxwellThis article contrasts the Scottish reform of custodial legal assistance introduced subsequent to the Supreme Courtâs decision in Cadder with similar developments in France. It offers a comparative viewpoint for the analysis of criticism directed at Cadder and opens up vistas of possibility for the consideration of further reform. The article also invites reflection on the significance of the developments in Scotland and France for custodial legal assistance in England and Wale
The reconfiguration of Natura and Ars in cartesian rhetoric and the epistemological reflections in the prize questions of the french academies
This article discusses the change in the relationship between natura and ars that occurred when Cartesian language theories penetrated conceptions of rhetoric in France during the 17th century. In part one, the article considers the reception of Descartes by the French universities and collĂšges in order to explore what I call the epistemic transfer between Aristotelianism and the new Cartesian philosophy. The focus then shifts to Bernard Lamyâs conception of rhetoric as presented in his principal work De lâart de parler (1675). Based upon the Cartesian theory of passions, Lamyâs book redefines rhetoric in a way that has been labelled in current research as a âgrammar of affectsâ. The fundamentals of the ars rhetorica are thus substantially altered, however without eliminating the power of the rhetorical tradition. The third section turns to the prize contests of the French academies in the 18th century in order to show the extent to which the transformation of rhetorical theory affected the broader practice of eloquence. Moreover, the rhetorical prize contests demonstrate an explicit reflection on the diverging modes of knowledge production that are essential, on the one hand, to the exact sciences and, on the other, to the textual tradition. Particularly striking is the critique of scientific method that was developed by the defenders of rhetoric in the concours acadĂ©mique
