    Differential forms, Fukaya A∞A_\infty algebras, and Gromov-Witten axioms

    Consider the differential forms Aβˆ—(L)A^*(L) on a Lagrangian submanifold LβŠ‚XL \subset X. Following ideas of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono, we construct a family of cyclic unital curved A∞A_\infty structures on Aβˆ—(L),A^*(L), parameterized by the cohomology of XX relative to L.L. The family of A∞A_\infty structures satisfies properties analogous to the axioms of Gromov-Witten theory. Our construction is canonical up to A∞A_\infty pseudoisotopy. We work in the situation that moduli spaces are regular and boundary evaluation maps are submersions, and thus we do not use the theory of the virtual fundamental class.Comment: 51 pages, 6 figures; improved exposition, added illustrations, corrected minor errors, added reference

    Evaluation of the organisation and delivery of patient-centred acute nursing care

    In 2002, a team of researchers from the School of Nursing, University of Salford were commissioned by Bolton Hospitals NHS Trust to evaluate the delivery and organisation of patient-centred nursing care across the acute nursing wards within the Royal Bolton Hospital. The key driver for the commissioning of this study arose from two serious untoward incidents that occurred in the year 2000. Following investigation of both these events the Director of Nursing in post at that time believed that poor organisation and delivery of care may have been a contributory factor. Senior nurses in the Trust had also expressed their concern that care may not be organised in a way that made best use of the skills available
