The contribution of Teacher education to universities
This paper reports on the initial stage of a research project which aims to develop deeper understanding of the contribution teacher education, as a sub-discipline within Education, makes to Higher Education in England. The study is located in the intersection between the domains of teacher education and higher education scholarship, which in England represents a contested and ambiguous professional space. Tensions between competing accountabilit…
Thomas Sinclair and the Political Representation of Presbyteria 1892–1912
Thomas Sinclair was a Belfast merchant who exercised a crucial influence on the formation of Ulster Unionism in the period 1886–1912. He had been a leading Presbyterian Liberal; but on Gladstone's conversion to Irish home rule became president of the Liberal Unionists, and worked over the next decades to secure the alliance of Presbyterian Liberals and Conservatives to resist home rule. This article will consider the extent to which a Presbyteria…
The fiction of F.E. Crichton (1877–1918)
Frances Elizabeth Crichton (1877–1918) published three novels in the period 1910–15, all dealing with themes of Irish identity relevant to the Home Rule crisis. She came from a wealthy Belfast Presbyterian family, the daughter of Liberal Unionist politician Thomas Sinclair. Her work was highly praised, but her literary career was cut short by mental illness and suicide and she has been almost entirely forgotten. This article summarizes her career…
Impact of a health marketing campaign on sugars intake by children aged 5–11 years and parental views on reducing children’s consumption
A health marketing campaign had a positive impact in reducing sugars intake but reductions in sugars were not sustained. Parents want to reduce their child's sugars intake but societal barriers and confusion over which sources of sugars to avoid hamper efforts to change
Chartulary of St John of Pontefract
The Chartulary of St John of Pontefract
The prosperous Cluniac priory of St John the Evangelist, Pontefract, was founded around 1090 by Robert de Lacy, remaining subject to its mother-house of La Charité-sur-Loire until the fourteenth century. The charters in this two-volume work have been arranged by type: seigniorial charters; episcopal and papal charters; royal charters; and those relating to priory property, arranged geographically according to proximity to Pontefract. The chartula…
James Arbuckle and Dean Swift
James Arbuckle, born a Presbyterian in Belfast, educated at Glasgow University, moved to Dublin under the patronage of the radical Whig Viscount Molesworth. He arrived at the time of Swift's triumph as ‘The Drapier’. Writing under the name ‘Hibernicus’, he produced a series of essays in the style of Addison's Spectator (1725–26). They can be read as a ‘polite’ Whig critique of Swift's Irish writing, particularly on confessional division. Arbuckle…
Adjunct Language Instruction
This study investigated the extent to which adjunct language instruction (ALI) is effective and the reasons for its effectiveness through an analysis of the perceptions of students. The beneficial effects of teaching lab report writing in English by instruction in content-based writing using genre-based materials from a concurrent physics course were confirmed by a comparison of two groups of Malay-speaking engineering students in a Malaysian uni…
Weapon
From the Publisher: For 4,000 years weapons, and the warriors who used them, have acted as the cutting edge of history, using ax, spear, bow, sword, gun, and cannon to determine the rise of kingdoms and the fall of empires. From the stone axes of the earliest warfare to the heavy artillery of today's modern armies, this awe-inspiring book portrays for the first time the entire spectrum of weaponry

Variation and Text Structure
This paper is an attempt to use genre analysis to explore the sources of variation in the structure of texts produced within academic communities. The “move” structure of the Discussion Sections of 43 recent articles in agricultural economics journals sponsored by national professional associations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and India was analyzed. The frequency and distribution of moves and the degree of structur…
Third Parties and Television Debates
Should third, or other, parties be included in television debates between party leaders at elections? The most immediate response might be ‘why not?’ If parties are offering themselves as democratic alternatives and if television represents, as it does in most societies, a recognised medium of electoral communication why should any electronic hustings not include the leaders of the alternative party options which are being set before the voters? …
A Constructivist Account of Sartre's Theory of Biography
Etude de la conception non-egologique du sujet qui resulte de la pratique biographique et autobiographique de Sartre sous la forme de fictions narratives. Examinant la conception sartrienne de la constitution de l'ego dans «La Nausee» et dans «L'idiot de famille», l'A. montre que l'approche constructiviste de Sartre n'est pas seulement une maniere de decrire les personnes et les evenements, mais constitue une methode calquee sur notre facon d'hab…

The Professionalization of Psychology in Nazi Germany
It has been widely believed that psychology in Germany, faced with political antipathy and mass emigration of its leading minds, withered under national Socialism. Yet in The Professionalisation of Psychology in Nazi Germany Ulfried Geuter tells a radically different story of how German psychology, rather than disappearing, rapidly grew into a fully developed profession during the Third Reich. Geuter makes it clear that the rising demands of a mo…
After Paternalism
United Irishmen and Unionists
When Gladstone decided, some time in 1885, that the only way to achieve ‘social order’ in Ireland was to concede Home Rule, he was disappointed to find that among his most implacable and vociferous opponents were the Irish Presbyterians. In vain he was to remind them that their ancestors had been United Irishmen in the 1790s, the founding fathers of Irish republicanism. His appeal to them to ‘retain and maintain the tradition of their sires’ fell…

Being-In-Itself Revisited
In the Introduction to Being and Nothingness , entitled “The Pursuit of Being”, Jean-Paul Sartre states that Edmund Husserl has misunderstood his own essential discovery of the intentionality of consciousness and that “from the moment that he makes of the noema an unreal , a correlate of the noesis , a noema whose esse is percipi , he is totally unfaithful to his principle”. In what follows I assess this claim as I explicate Sartre's development …

Ulster will Fight and Ulster will be Right’
Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right’. Randolph Churchill may never have uttered these emotive words during his visit to Ulster in 1886—they appeared in a public letter to a Glasgow Liberal unionist—but they undoubtedly expressed the belligerence and self-righteousness of the Ulster protestant resistance to the prospect of home rule for Ireland. Joseph Lee has observed correctly that ‘Orangemen did not need to be told that they were right o…
Ulster presbyterians and Irish nationalism
The stubborn resistance of the protestants of Ulster to the Irish national movement is a notorious fact of modern Anglo-Irish history. Though such resistance to national movements by a minority is by no means a unique phenomenon in the history of nationalism, it may be, as Peter Gibbon claims, in his Origins of Ulster Unionism, that ‘nowhere else has such a movement encountered a rival of comparable effectiveness, popular support and staying powe…

Dr Henry Cooke
Dr Henry Cooke, the Athanasius of Irish presbyterianism, who might fairly be described as the archetypal Ulster unionist political parson, is an obvious subject for a study in religious motivation. Emerging in the 1820s as a vigorous champion of trinitarian orthodoxy, he led a relentless campaign against Arianism in the Belfast Institution, the college in which at that time the majority of Irish presbyterian ordinands were educated, and in his ch…
