This paper aims to raise awareness of the ways in which faecal incontinence can impact the provision of dementia care by examining this through the lens of stigma.

This paper contains a scoping review of available literature relating to faecal incontinence, dementia and stigma.

Literature was organised into three themes: the origins of the stigma, the purpose of stigma and the care context.

Limitations of this paper include the lack of literature discussing faecal incontinence and dementia in relation to stigma.

Stigma regarding faecal incontinence has the potential to impact quality of life of people with a dementia and contributes towards the invisible work of unqualified care workers.

Stigma and faecal incontinence have only a small amount of research around them in residential dementia care.

The purpose of this paper is to propose three iterative finite element methods for equations of thermally coupled incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) on 2D/3D bounded domain. The detailed theoretical analysis and some numerical results are presented. The main results show that the Stokes iterative method has the strictest restrictions on the physical parameters, and the Newton’s iterative method has the higher accuracy and the Oseen iterative method is stable unconditionally.

Three iterative finite element methods have been designed for the thermally coupled incompressible MHD flow on 2D/3D bounded domain. The Oseen iterative scheme includes solving a linearized steady MHD and Oseen equations; unconditional stability and optimal error estimates of numerical approximations at each iterative step are established under the uniqueness condition. Stability and convergence of numerical solutions in Newton and Stokes’ iterative schemes are also analyzed under some strong uniqueness conditions.

This work was supported by the NSF of China (No. 11971152).

This paper presents the best choice for solving the steady thermally coupled MHD equations with different physical parameters.

The suitability of a coupled scheme based on parabolic/elliptic Navier‐Stokes equations for calculating film cooling flows and heat transfer downstream of flush, angled injection slots is explored. The coupled algorithm that combined the coarse mesh ‘outer’ Navier‐Stokes and fine grid ‘inner’ parabolic Navier‐Stokes codes makes retention of the current high resolution model desirable because an acceptable accuracy and economy of computation time are attainable using only mini‐computer resources. The ‘inner‐code’ includes the FLARE approximation to permit small reverse flow. The inner and outer codes are coupled by adopting an approach analogous to classical multigrid methods. It is found that for high blowing mass flow rate of 1.0 with the case of greater than 40° injection angle, the fully parabolic procedure is unable to cope with an extensive separation region immediately downstream of the slot; the present coupling methodology is crucial. The study involves the calculation of heat transfer rates on the surface downstream of the angled slot. Predicted film cooling effectiveness distribution together with the effects of governing parameters are described and show close agreement with the experimental data.

This paper aims to propose a new highly efficient iterative method based on classical Oseen iteration for the natural convection equations.

First, the authors solve the problem by the Oseen iterative scheme based on finite element method, then use the error correction strategy to control the error arising.

The new iterative method not only retains the advantage of the Oseen scheme but also saves computational time and iterative step for solving the considered problem.

In this work, the authors introduce a new iterative method to solve the natural convection equations. The new algorithm consists of the Oseen scheme and the error correction which can control the errors from the iterative step arising for solving the nonlinear problem. Comparing with the classical iterative method, the new scheme requires less iterations and is also capable of solving the natural convection problem at higher Rayleigh number.

THE CATEGORICAL TABLES of the S.C. which are used entirely for the sub‐division of subjects have only been criticized for two reasons, and neither is very serious. It has been said that in many cases they make the notation too cumbrous and the numbers too long; and someone has objected to these tables for including subjects which are already in the main schedules. A lengthy symbol is almost inseparable from minute classification, because it is impossible without enormously increasing the main tables to provide for the many forms and standpoints which require expressing if an attempt is to be made to get right up to the specific subject. An example of enormous expansion will be found in the uncompleted Library of Congress Classification, in which no fewer than 7,079 numbers are used for music, a subject which in the S.C. is even more fully detailed in 332 numbers. For instance, there is no place in the Congressional scheme for the viol family of instruments, in connection with which there is a very large literature, so that, in spite of its great array of numbers, it appears that it is possible to miss important headings even in the most ambitious scheme. This inflation is caused by the constant repetition of forms, localities, and other categories, which in the S.C. are expressed once and for all in separate tables, by numbers which always mean the same thing. Thus:—

THE question of the advisability of exercising a censorship over literature has been much before the public of late, and probably many librarians have realised how closely the disputed question affects their own profession.

The author argues that we must stop and take a look at what our insistence on human labour as the basis of our society is doing to us, and begin to search for possible alternatives. We need the vision and the courage to aim for the highest level of technology attainable for the widest possible use in both industry and services. We need financial arrangements that will encourage people to invent themselves out of work. Our goal, the article argues, must be the reduction of human labour to the greatest extent possible, to free people for more enjoyable, creative, human activities.

THREE hundred years ago, on January 28th, 1613, the death occurred of Sir Thomas Bodley, whose name is immortalized in the library that he restored and which bears his name. Oxford's famous library, though originally founded by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, owes its establishment to Thomas Bodley, who was born at Exeter in 1545.
