Abstract Within veterinary medical education, tracking systems exist that differentiate between “large” and “small” animal medicine. In a tracking system, students can focus primarily on their choice of animal medicine once they have completed the core curriculum. This article argues that these socially created categories are ever shifting; therefore, some species do not always “fit.” This generates new discourses surrounding emerging “border tracks”; these “tracks” focus on species whose social definitions change so that their placement in the tracking system of veterinary medical education is a site of contestation. Thus, animal medicine operates not solely on the basis of biology, but on the basis of social meaning as well. This analysis will use the equine concentration to demonstrate the ambiguity of borders, as well as their potential to serve as communicative sites for social change.

BackgroundThere is increasing recognition of the importance of leadership development within undergraduate medical training. One method of doing this is through student-selected components (SSCs), optional modules that allow students to explore an area in greater depth than in the core curriculum. An SSC in medical leadership has been offered at the University of Glasgow since 2015. We evaluated students’ perceptions of this SSC.MethodsStudents are required to submit a written reflective report on the SSC. These were analysed thematically to determine students’ lived experience. Respondent validation and independent anonymised feedback to the university were used for triangulation.ResultsStudents reported that the SSC allowed them to experience aspects of healthcare not encountered elsewhere in their training. Three themes were derived from the analysis, relating to SSC structure, areas of learning and personal development/impact. Students recognised that leadership development is important within the curriculum and felt that it should be available to all medical students.ConclusionThis evaluation of students’ perceptions of a leadership SSC identified characteristics of the module that were felt by students to be valuable in leadership development and will support development of similar leadership modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Unique Experience

Abstract Augmented Reality (AR) is now becoming an exceptional technology that offers a new world. Users to enable their senses to feel, listen and see the surroundings in different and better ways witness a unique experience. AR technology is used to superimpose the real view of the user with the virtual scenes. This research work illustrates the core details of AR, its definition, history, and development process. In addition, discusses ideas having various approaches during utilization of AR frameworks along with glyph tracking system. Current applications of AR technology completely depend on the proper utilization of AR frameworks.

Tracking Objects

Tracking systems of moving objects provide a useful means to better control, manage and secure them. Tracking systems are used in different scales of applications such as indoors, outdoors and even used to track vehicles, ships and air planes moving over the globe. This paper presents the design and implementation of a system for tracking objects moving over a wide geographical area. The system depends on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies without requiring the Internet service. The implemented system uses the freely available GPS service to determine the position of the moving objects. The tests of the implemented system in different regions and conditions show that the maximum uncertainty in the obtained positions is a circle with radius of about 16 m, which is an acceptable result for tracking the movement of objects in wide and open environments.

Abstract One of the most important elements of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs is the strong commitment to inclusive development, and “leaving no one behind” has emerged as a central theme of the agenda. How did this consensus come about? And what does this term mean and how is it being interpreted? This matters because SDGs shift international norms. Global goals exert influence on policy and action of governments and stakeholders in development operates through discourse. So the language used in formulating the UN Agenda is a terrain of active contestation. This paper aims to explain the politics that led to this term as a core theme. It argues that LNOB was promoted to frame the SDG inequality agenda as inclusive development, focusing on the exclusion of marginalized and vulnerable groups from social opportunities, deflecting attention from the core issues of distribution of income and wealth, and the challenge of “extreme inequality.” The term is adequately vague so as to accommodate wide ranging interpretations. Through a content analysis of LNOB in 43 VNRs, the paper finds that the majority of country strategies identify LNOB as priority to the very poor, and identify it with a strategy for social protection. This narrow interpretation does not respond to the ambition of the 2030 Agenda for transformative change, and the principles of human rights approaches laid out.

Co-variation, style and social meaning: the implicational relationship between (h) and (ing) in Debden, Essex

Casual Speech

Abstract This paper demonstrates that the differing social meanings held by linguistic features can result in an implicational relationship between them. Rates of (h) and (ing) are investigated in the casual speech of sixty-three speakers from a community with Cockney heritage: Debden, Essex. The indexicalities of h-dropping in Debden (signalling Cockney) are superordinate to and incorporate the indexicalities of g-dropping (working-class, “improper”), resulting in an implicational relationship. H-dropping implies g-dropping, but g-dropping can occur independently of h-dropping. This occurs in terms of co-variation at the between-speaker level and clustering effects at the within-speaker level which is measured through a novel approach using the number of phonemes as the denomination of distance. The features’ differing social meaning are also related to rates of change. Young speakers are shifting away from linguistic features which index Cockney heritage (h-dropping; the [-Iŋk] variant of -thing words) in favor of more general, southeastern, working-class norms (g-dropping).
