Prospecting and exploiting natural mineral resources for economic growth and development could be beneficial if done in sustainable ways and manners. However, if the operation is done in such a way that cause harm to the environment and people, this will amount to unsustainable mining activity and anti-sustainable development. Therefore, there is need to ensure that appropriate and adequate plans and programmes are put in place in order to mitigate, minimise and avoid negative environmental impacts. Against the backdrop of these concerns and the need to ensure that the environment is not degraded and destroyed, South Africa, as part of the countries that promotes sustainable prospecting and mining has put in place and currently implementing tools known as environmental management plan and programme to regulate and control all prospecting and mining activities. These tools contain a bundle of remedial actions in the forms of compensation, rehabilitation and restoration of any harm done to the environment during the course of mining activities. They also contain information on mitigation, ingredients for good practice approach on how to conduct sustainable prospecting and mining. This article looks at the intrinsic roles of these tools and accentuates the importance and operations of their use in the decision making processes.

Design And Methods

Introduction Despite growing international interest in life story work as a tool for person-centred dementia care, there is little agreement on what constitutes good practice and little evidence from the perspectives of people with dementia or their family carers. Design and methods This paper reports the findings from the qualitative element of a larger study looking at the feasibility of evaluating life story work. Ten focus groups were held with 73 participants: four groups of people with dementia (25 participants); three with family carers (21 participants); and three with staff, professionals and volunteers with experience of life story work (27 participants). Findings: It became apparent through our focus groups that, when people talk about ‘life story work’, different people mean different things. This related to both process and outcomes. In particular, a person with dementia may have very different views from others about what life story work is for and how their life story products should be used. There was general agreement that a good practice approach would be tailored to the individual needs and preferences of the person with dementia. However, in practice many settings used templates and the process was led by staff or completed by family carers. Conclusion We produced nine key features of good practice which could be used to guide the life story work process. Key elements include the recognition that not everyone will want to take part in life story work and that some people may even find it distressing; the importance of being led by the person with dementia themselves; the need for training and support for staff, carers and volunteers; and the potential for life story work to celebrate the person’s life today and look to the future.

Inductive Thematic Analysis

Summary There is growing recognition of the importance in social research and social policy development of engaging with people with lived experience and using intervention approaches characterised by co-design and co-production. However, the inclusion of some minority groups such as those who are Deafblind has proven challenging. Working from the perspective of Appreciative Inquiry, a qualitative research methodology called The World Café was used to generate patterns of insight and collective discoveries from Deafblind participants. Data from The Deafblind World Café were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Findings Four themes were produced that could inform the development of a good practice model for engaging with people who are Deafblind: Being Deafblind – it’s who we are, not what we are; we welcome co-production with outsiders who are prepared to make the effort to become insiders; being culturally inclusive is about both what you say and what you do; and listen to our story – don’t try to count it. Applications Group-based and interactive approaches, such as World Café, though challenging, can be successfully adapted for those who are Deafblind. How this might be up-scaled is yet to be explored.

Insight Into

Despite being comprised of 'academic communities' Higher Education often provides academics from different disciplines with few opportunities to discuss common practices or concerns.. Some issues, such as student writing, are so widespread, that there is however a need for staff to have the opportunity to work collaboratively. A focused community or network provides staff with the opportunity to share good practice and develop new ideas. Such a group has been established at Nottingham Trent University to explore the issue of student writing. This article examines the 'Academic Writing Readers Group' and discusses the challenges and benefits of using a community of practice approach to the issue of student writing.

Assessment And Testing

The purpose of this paper is to disseminate the results of an EURATOM project MULTI-METAL focusing on the structural integrity assessment of dissimilar metal welds. The project started in February 2012 and ended in February 2015. The project is coordinated by VTT with 10 partner organizations from Europe : Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland (VTT) – Coordinator, AREVA NP, France and Germany (ANP), Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux energies alternatives, France (CEA), Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Belgium (JRC), EdF-Energy, United Kingdom (BE), Bay Zoltán Foundation for Applied Research, Hungary (BZF), Electricité de France, France (EDF), TECNATOM, Spain (TEC), Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia (JSI), Studsvik Nuclear AB, Sweden (STU). The underlying aim of the project is to provide recommendations for a good practice approach for the integrity assessment (especially testing) of tough dissimilar metal welds as part of overall ductile integrity analyses; this has been presented in the project overview [1]. Experience on typical DMWs concerning manufacturing, residual stresses, flaw assessment and testing have been reviewed. The specimens were taken from mock-ups of welded plates. Three DMWs design variants have been covered: narrow gap DMW with Ni-52, DMW with austenitic steel buttering and a DMW with Nienriched austenitic steel buttering. Mechanical characterization and fracture mechanics testing (CT, SEN(B) and SEN(T) specimens) have been performed. Interpretation of the test has required numerical analysis since the standard ASTM E1820 [2] (CT, SEN(B)) and guidelines dealing with SEN(T) [3][4] are not directly intended to cover DMW. The motivation of the project and its results are generally presented and discussed.
