This book includes theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and reflective discussions on issues and experiences pertaining to PhD by Publication for both the prospective and retrospective route. It features formal work alongside reflections on stakeholders' experiences and addresses formal primary research and research syntheses which survey the landscapes of PhD by Publication regarding its policies, thesis and student experience.The book provides personal, context-specific and in-depth insider's perspectives towards PhD by Publication and offers a holistic understanding of micro- and macro-level issues by offering research and personal insights.'Despite being in existence for over 20 years, the route to PhD is still often poorly understood by individuals and institutions. This lively, personal, informative, and affirming text will change that. Recognising the value and expansion of the route to a PhD by publication, and the current lack of published advice, Chong and Johnson have drawn together accounts by supervisors, student and graduates of their experiences of PhDs by publication, and what they learnt that will make the journey easier for others. Containing advice about how to apply, how to select publications, and how to prepare for the viva, it will be a valuable handbook for students and supervisors alike. Full of insights that will resonate with many research students and supervisors, and not only those involved in the 'by publication' route, it will help with tackling perennial barriers such as finding time to write, managing 'imposter syndrome;', and addressing the loneliness that many PhD student experience. An immensely useful, direct, profound and inspiring collection.'Professor Shn Wareing, Deputy Vice Chancellor, University of Northampton

With step by step instructions on what to do, these are a great place to start for activities. This Volume contains multiple Caregiver Activity Lesson Plans and templates from the R.O.S. How Much Do You Know About Book Series of activity books. The How Much Do You Know About activity books are topic specific books that allow caregivers to provide engaging activities based on topics that are of interest to their client or loved one. This Volume contains activities based on words and terms related to Bread, Pastries and Cooking. The LARGE PRINT activities included in this Lesson plan books include: Trivia Word search Word scramble Crossword Code Breakers This Caregiver Activity Lesson Plans book was written by R.O.S. Therapy Systems and approved by the National Association of Activity Professionals which has been the quality of life authority for long term care settings since 1982. Each Lesson plan - whether used for Activities of Daily Living or Leisure Activities - are meant as general guidelines and suggestions and do not guarantee success. Every person has his or her own unique physical / cognitive abilities and needs. How a participant responds to an activity will dictate how the Activity Leader will continue to modify or adapt a Lesson Plan to meet individual participants' needs and abilities - now and in the future. The Lesson Plan should be ever-changing. It is meant to be written on and to note the changes you may have made from the original plan so that the next person working with the participant can follow your modifications with the goal of recreating positive experiences. Information included in each Lesson Plan from R.O.S.: Date: Document the date the activity is used with the senior Program Name: Activity name Objective: To provide meaningful, purposeful activities that will engage participant Materials: Suggested materials/resources to use with this program Prerequisite Skills: Physical skills/abilities a senior should possess for a program Activity Outline: Step-by-step instructions to complete the program Evaluation: A thorough evaluation is the most important part of the Lesson Plan. When conducting an activity with the senior, record any verbal cues, assistance, or modifications to incorporate into the activity. It is also helpful to include the senior's response to the program. Note if the senior dislikes a certain activity and won't ever be interested in engaging in this activity in the future. Note programs that are successful at distracting or eliminating a negative behavior (diversion activities). Encourage family members and caregivers to use the evaluation section and also leave tips. Don't waste time recreating the wheel of knowledge; pass on the information so everyone presents the program in the same way with the same modifications and cueing, and achieving the same positive outcomes.

Holy Habits is an initiative to nurture Christian discipleship. It explores Luke's model of church found in Acts 2:42-47, identifies ten habits and encourages the development of a way of life formed by them. These resources, which include an introductory guide, have been developed to help churches explore the habits in a range of contexts and live them out in whole-life, missional discipleship.

The new branch of science which will reveal how to avoid the rush hour, overcome cancer, and find the perfect dateWhat do traffic jams, stock market crashes, and wars have in common? They are all explained using complexity, an unsolved puzzle that many researchers believe is the key to predicting - and ultimately solving - everything from terrorist attacks and pandemic viruses right down to rush hour traffic congestion. Complexity is considered by many to be the single most important scientific development since general relativity and promises to make sense of no less than the very heart of the Universe. Using it, scientists can find order emerging from seemingly random interactions of all kinds, from something as simple as flipping coins through to more challenging problems such as predicting shopping habits, the patterns in modern jazz, and the growth of cancer tumours.
