Voices for Change
I am a single mum and have a son with additional needs. I have had a family support worker for two years. It was clear that I needed help sooner than I could admit but due to the stigma of having social services involved I was terrified as I thought my children would be taken from me. It took me to have a breakdown before I could accept the help I needed. I was thrilled to be asked to be in this project as it gave me a chance to voice my views ab…
Assessing policy preferences amongst climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction stakeholders using serious gaming
The ESPREssO Project set out to propose ways to inform more coherent national and European approaches on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). A critical step in this process is the identification of existing barriers to effective collaboration, finding new areas of common ground, and ways to enhance co-operation with regards to CCA and DRR policymaking in Europe. This is particularly important considering the potenti…
Simulating synergies between Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction stakeholders to improve management of transboundary disasters in Europe
Natural hazards and climate-related disasters disregard political borders, where additional barriers can complicate mitigation, response and recovery efforts within and between the sectors of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The ESPREssO Project (Enhancing Synergies for Disaster Prevention in the European Union) aims to improve management of transboundary disasters by encouraging closer synergies between the CCA …
Using serious gaming to explore how uncertainty affects stakeholder decision-making across the science-policy divide during disasters
Stakeholder solutions for building interdisciplinary and international synergies between Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction
The existing implementation gap currently dividing the policy domains of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), can be attributed to institutional barriers; diverging political priorities; inter-sectoral misperceptions and miscommunication; unequal funding sources and varying operational timescales at national, European and international levels. A recurring question raised amongst strategic policy makers tackling clima…
The use of serious games in engaging stakeholders for disaster risk reduction, management and climate change adaption information elicitation
The Push for Proactive Climate Adaptation in Europe
Europeans are taking the risks presented by climate change seriously, and responding. Sixth in a series on climate adaptation around the world
An Evaluation of Homo habilis sensu lato Variability Through a Comparative Analysis of the Coefficient of Variation of Three Hominid Species
The fragmentary nature of the fossil record leaves palaeontologists with the difficult task of sorting through the morphological variation found in fossil hominins in order to assign recovered specimens to the best suited species classification. Controversy arises in assessing the acceptable degree and pattern of variation allowed for within a single species. This lack of agreement concerning how much variability can be subsumed within a single s…
Measuring Quality of Life in Routine Oncology Practice Improves Communication and Patient Well-Being
PURPOSE: To examine the effects on process of care and patient well-being, of the regular collection and use of health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) data in oncology practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a prospective study with repeated measures involving 28 oncologists, 286 cancer patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (regular completion of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Core Quality of Life …
