The Impact of Healthcare on People with Facial Differences

There is a long history of discrimination against people with facial differences, but little has been done to understand or rectify this bias. With increasing complex reconstructive surgeries yielding better results, there needs to be emphasis on the quality-of-life (QoL) changes that are carried out by undergoing these. Using the WHOQOL-BREF we assessed the increase in QoL after reconstructive surgery and found significant increases in several domains. The stereotype of ‘anomalous is bad’ leads to problems in the wider community but are medical personnel who are more likely than most to encounter people with facial differences, any better than other people. We conducted an IAT on medical personnel to try to establish if there were any mitigating factors for bias but found no factors significantly changing the levels of bias

Theoretical mechanics for sixth forms

Theoretical Mechanics for Sixth Forms, Second Edition is a 14-chapter book that begins by elucidating the nature of theoretical mechanics. The book then describes the statics of a particle in illustration of the techniques of handling vector quantities. Subsequent chapters focus on the principle of moments, parallel forces and centers of gravity; and the application of Newton's second law to the dynamics of a particle and the ideas of work and energy, impulse and momentum, and power. The concept of friction is also explained. This volume concludes with chapters concerning motion in a circle a

Sixth form pure mathematics

Sixth Form Pure Mathematics, Volume 1, Second Edition, is the first of a series of volumes on Pure Mathematics and Theoretical Mechanics for Sixth Form students whose aim is entrance into British and Commonwealth Universities or Technical Colleges. A knowledge of Pure Mathematics up to G.C.E. O-level is assumed and the subject is developed by a concentric treatment in which each new topic is used to illustrate ideas already treated. The major topics of Algebra, Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, and Trigonometry are developed together. This volume covers most of the Pure Mathematics required for
