Levels Of Service

Change in external factors, such as environmental legislation and climate change, will mean the future of sewerage systems is likely to be different from the past. Combined sewerage systems comprise the vast majority of existing sewers in countries such as the UK. A study funded by UK Water Industry Research Ltd has reviewed the current state of sewerage within the UK, the likely drivers for change and the consequent future impacts over a 75 year timescale. Potential responses to address the anticipated changes have also been considered. It is concluded that due to the wide extent and value of existing sewer systems, these will continue to be used for the foreseeable future. However, in order to meet the major challenges as a result of changing external factors, these need to be operated more effectively, new ideas need to be explored and moves to develop better and more integrated water management systems need to be started if sewer systems in the UK are to provide the anticipated required levels of service well into the 21st Century.

Comprehensive Study

The current state of the national economy means that businesses need to constantly look for ways to improve their efficiency and find new ideas to address their shortcomings. The problem of improving the financial condition of the enterprise and finding ways to improve the financial condition of the enterprise is primarily related to the mechanism for assessing the financial condition of the enterprise. The study of the financial condition of the enterprise gives an advantage to the business entity among competitors, allows to identify shortcomings in the activities of the enterprise and to form methods to improve its activities. Both internal and external factors have a significant impact on the financial condition of the enterprise. Since the internal and external environment is constantly changing, so business is characterized by uncertainty. The article considers the specifics of the analysis of the financial condition and prospects of economic development of the outsourcing company. The author generalizes the concept of "financial condition of the enterprise" and substantiates the importance of a comprehensive study of its evaluation indicators. Based on the analysis of the financial condition of Corplex LLC identified promising ways of economic development of the studied outsourcing company.

A major programme of research into the nature, behaviour and occurrence of sediment deposits associated with sewer systems has been carried out in the UK since 1988. This research has been co-ordinated by the UK water industry's Urban Pollution Management Programme. The main driving force behind this research has been the need to collect fundamental data to support the development of sewer flow quality simulation models. Research results have significantly enhanced knowledge pertaining to sewer sediments and this has proved to be crucial to the development of reliable modelling tools to predict the quality of sewer system discharges. Particular advances have been made in the ability to understand and represent the effects of sewer sediment rheology and the attachment of pollutants to sediments. Many performance limitations of current models, such as MOSQITO and MOUSE TRAP, can be related to the modelling of sewer sediments. User requirements for the next generation of models will only be met if sewer sediments research results are fully utilised and further research can be tailored to meet end user driven modelling requirements. This paper reviews the results and applications of sewer sediments research in the UK and identifies additional research required to support further model development.

Generic Sense

      The aim of this paper is to present a synoptic picture of the development and current state of ecocriticism in Poland. Understood in the generic sense of the study of literature and environment, ecocriticism had begun in Poland already in 1970s and has since then generated its own original tradition. Understood in the specific historical sense of a field devoted to the study of literature and environment that was consolidated in the 1990s in the USA and the UK and has then expanded both in disciplinary and national terms, ecocriticism was imported to Poland only in the beginning of the 21st century, but has managed do generate its own tradition as well. For a while, both these currents of Polish ecocriticism had run in parallel to one another, but have recently merged, stimulating new exciting developments. The paper will delineate these historical trajectories and recent developments alike. And it will also show how today’s Polish ecocriticism contributes to ecocriticism globally, not only by offering its own culturally unique perspective and archives, but also by proposing new methodologies, including so-called empirical ecocriticism, an emerging field that originates in part from Poland.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the history and current state of provision of homeless medical respite services in the UK, drawing first on the international context. The paper then articulates the need for medical respite services in the UK, and profiles some success stories. The paper then outlines the considerable challenges that currently exist in the UK, considers why some other services have failed and proffers some solutions. Design/methodology/approach The paper is primarily a literature review, but also offers original analysis of data and interviews, and presents new ideas from the authors. All authors have considerable experience of assessing the need for and delivering homeless medical respite services. Findings The paper builds on previous published information regarding need, and articulates the human rights argument for commissioning care. The paper also discusses the current complex commissioning arena, and suggests solutions. Research limitations/implications The literature review was not a systematic review, but was conducted by authors with considerable experience in the field. Patient data quoted are on two limited cohorts of patients, but broadly relevant. Interviews with stakeholders regarding medical respite challenges have been fairly extensive, but may not be comprehensive. Practical implications This paper will support those who are thinking of undertaking a needs assessment for medical respite, or commissioning a new medical respite service, to understand the key issues involved. Social implications This paper challenges the existing status quo regarding the need for a “cost-saving” rationale to set up these services. Originality/value This paper aims to be the definitive paper for anyone wishing to get an overview of this topic.

This book advances the current state of film audience research and of our knowledge of sexuality in transnational contexts, by analysing how French LGBTQ films are seen in Spain and Spanish ones in France, as well as how these films are seen in the UK. It studies films from various genres and examines their reception across four languages (Spanish, French, Catalan, English) and engages with participants across a range of digital and physical audience locations. A focus on LGBTQ festivals and on issues relating to LGBTQ experience in both countries allows for the consideration of issues such as ageing, sense of community and isolation, affiliation and investment, and the representation of issues affecting trans people. The book examines films that chronicle the local, national and sub-national identities while also addressing foreign audiences. It draws on a large sample of individual responses through post-screening questionnaires and focus groups as well as on the work of professional film critics and on-line commentators.

Lasting Influence

The study introduces a Hungarian economic thinker, István Varga*, whose valuable activity has remained unexplored up to now. He became an economic thinker during the 1920s, in a country that had not long before become independent of Austria. The role played by Austria in the modern economic thinking of that time was a form of competition with the thought adhered to by the UK and the USA. Hungarian economists mainly interpreted and commented on German and Austrian theories, reasons for this being that, for example, the majority of Hungarian economists had studied at German and Austrian universities, while at Hungarian universities principally German and Austrian economic theories were taught. István Varga was familiar not only with contemporary German economics but with the new ideas of Anglo-Saxon economics as well — and he introduced these ideas into Hungarian economic thinking. He lived and worked in turbulent times, and historians have only been able to appreciate his activity in a limited manner. The work of this excellent economist has all but been forgotten, although he was of international stature. After a brief summary of Varga’s profile the study will demonstrate the lasting influence he has had in four areas — namely, business cycle research and national income estimations, the 1946 Hungarian stabilisation program, corporate profit, and consumption economics — and will go on to summarise his most important achievements.
