Title: What Works In Improving Gender Equality: International Best Practice in Childcare and Long-term Care Policy
Author(s): Rummery, Kirstein; McAngus, Craig; Edwards, Alcuin
Abstract: Drawing on comparative research from five countries, What Works in Improving Gender Equality provides an accessible analysis of what gender equality means and how we can achieve it by adapting best practices in care policies from other countries. Realistic policy solutions are reached by examining the contexts in which childcare and longterm care policies are developed, and what difficulties might need to be overcome in applying the lessons from different international models.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZDesigning Environments for People with Dementia: A Systematic Literature Review

Title: Architecture for dementia. Stirling Gold: 2008-2020
Editor(s): Palmer, Lesley; Wallace, Katie; Hutchinson, Lynsey
Abstract: ‘Architecture for dementia’ is a compendium of international architecture projects each awarded the world renowned DSDC building accreditation ‘Gold’ award for dementia design. This fundamental body of work provides an overview of the creative and evolving realm of designing for dementia from 2008-2020. The illustrated case studies exemplified encompass a variety of building scales, typologies and geographies. Each project offers solutions and suggestions on how to design dementia-inclusive environments whilst responding to their own context and the regional variations in care, societal attitudes and economies. This compendium illustrates in vivid detail the shifting attitudes to dementia design and the role the built environment can play to support people living with dementia.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZPersonal Portable Computers and the Curriculum

Title: Personal Portable Computers and the Curriculum
Author(s): Gardner, John; Morrison, Hugh; Jarman, Ruth; Reilly, Claire; McNally, Helen
Abstract: First paragraph: Portable computers are, to all intents and purposes, smaller versions of the common ‘desktop' machine. Depending on their configuration, they can be as powerful as desktop machines but they have one major additional attribute. Instead of taking the work to the computer, the lightness and design of portables enables them to be carried to the place of work - to the school desk, to the library, on the field trip... Portable computers, therefore, hold out the promise of putting convenient and personalised computing power not just in pupils' hands but in teachers' hands too.1993-08-01T00:00:00Z
