Building student engagement through co-production and curriculum co-design in public administration programmes

Revealing student nurses' perceptions of human dignity through curriculum co-design.

Dignity is a slippery concept to define - yet it has been at the heart of media and policy debates around the provision of health and social care in recent years; particularly in the United Kingdom following the Mid-Staffordshire scandal and subsequent Francis Inquiry. This paper considers the concept of dignity in care from the perspective of student nurses. Thus, it allows us to discuss how p...

.co-co Interactions through a Cross-conjugated Ligand Class: Graduate Student

Oligomers of iso-triacetylene have been investigated as components for electronic materials, due to their interesting structural and nonlinear optical properties. Recent efforts have been geared toward the incorporation of these cross-conjugated ligands into “wire-like” organometallic scaffolds. The development of organometallic complexes can assist in the elucidation of charge transfer through...
