Customary law before the Conquest

An article on early English legal history and customary law by Professor Derek Roebuck (Associate Senior Research Fellow, IALS). The article is taken from a lecture given by the author at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies on February 1, 2006 and was published in Amicus Curiae – Journal of the Society for Advanced Legal Studies at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies.

Opening up Spaces to Support Rural Business in Scotland

The Open University has a commitment to releasing core curriculum openly, while we have always edited for “the open” tailoring has been minor. Rural Entrepreneurship in Scotland is a different model. It is based on material to develop your business idea from across our academic programme. However, the material has been revised significantly to place it in a rural Scottish context. Setting up a business or social enterprise is a complex and personal undertaking. It is about more than knowing the right steps, it is about applying that knowledge in context. The module materials are designed around “real” case studies developed with key stakeholders within rural Scotland. One of the benefits of releasing curriculum in this way is the ability to evaluate how it works in the world and adapt it accordingly. For example, we are using the analytics to track topics of particular interest and looking at how we can enhance and improve those components. One of the benefits of low cost reversioning content for less populated curriculum areas is the ability to invest resources in supporting and understanding how resources are used in practice. Through these workshops with rural entrepreneurs we are able to assess how open education operates in practice for practice. We have learnt from working in the open, our analytics suggest the finance component is of crucial, while our outreach work suggests we need to develop a new component on generating entrepreneurial ideas

A molecular genetic approach to roebuck individual identification in the case of poaching in Serbia

Application of the molecular genetic methods in forensic cases dealing with wild animals has significantly increased recently. These techniques are practically used in order to help solving four key problems : determination of kind of the wild animal, geographic origin, kinship ties and individual identification. In this work the first case of introducing the examination of polimorphism of microsatelite genetic markers within forensic analysis in the cases of poaching in Serbia is presented. The objectives of this forensic analysis was to determine if the meat confiscated during house search of the suspect comes from roebuck origin (Capreolus capreolus), which remains had been found by a game warden in the field during closed season, where the suspect denied the offense, claiming that the meat comes from other roebuck that had been shot during the previous hunting season. DNK was isolated from the skin and fur samples taken from the roebuck corpse found in the woods, as well as from the frozen meat found in the suspect’s house. Both amplification and polimorphism examination of the eight microsatelite markers (ROE01, NVHRT21, NVHRT24, NVHRT48, NVHRT73, RT7 AND RT27) were carried out. In all the examined samples, the same pattern of variability of the tested microsatelites was determined, that is it was proved that DNK profiles of the samples taken from roebuck corpse were identical to DNK profile of the meat sample found in the suspect’s house. This result clearly indicates that all the examined biological samples originate from the same animal, and consequently represents forensically valid evidence in the case of roebuck poaching.

GWU Mourns Loss of Assistant Athletics Director

The Gardner-Webb University community is mourning the loss of longtime athletics department administrator Mike Roebuck, who passed away this week at the age of 65. Roebuck was in his 14th season as assistant athletics director for academic services, and he previously served six years as the University’s director of financial aid. “We are devastated by the news of Mike’s passing,” said GWU Vice President for Athletics Chuck Burch.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/2208/thumbnail.jp

Run/Walk Honors Late Gardner-Webb Athletics Administrator Mike Roebuck

Hundreds of runners and walkers traveled a mile around Gardner-Webb University on April 30 to honor Mike Roebuck, an avid runner and former GWU athletics administrator who passed away earlier this year. The first “A Mile for Mike” honored Roebuck, who served Gardner-Webb for 20 years, first as director of financial aid and then as assistant athletics director for academic services. In addition to the run/walk, the event included comments by Roebuck’s family and GWU Vice President for Athletics Chuck Burch.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/2170/thumbnail.jp
