Hyperactivity is a puzzling condition which has been widely discussed in the media. Linda Auty, BSc, SRD, who lectures in Nutrition and Dietetics at Leeds University, explains the likely implications between

As social and nutritional conditions have improved over the last century, there has been a dramatic improvement in health. Communicable diseases have almost been eradicated and mortality rates in childhood have dropped. Consequently, people are now living longer and dying has become an experience of the elderly and often as a result of degenerative diseases such as cancer. The hospice movement was set up to care for patients, such as those with cancer, who could not realistically expect to be cured, and whose needs were primarly for comfort and relief for the remaining period of life. Wheatfields is a hospice in Leeds at which great care is taken over the patients' diets, as Linda Auty, BSc, SRD, senior lecturer at the Department of Dietetics, Leeds Polytechnic, Maire O'Donnell, SRN, ONC matron at Wheatfields and Jackie Evans, SRN, RCNT assistant matron explain.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the applicability of the consumer‐brand typology developed by Fournier to a segment of heterosexual male shoppers of fashion and grooming products.

In‐depth interviews, collage constructions, and shopping trip observations are the three methods of inquiry in this research.

A total of 13 of the 15 brand relationships detailed by Fournier are affirmed. Three new relationships emerge in the data demonstrating the fluidity of the typology across market segments and sociocultural contexts.

The research findings provide implications for other consumption contexts which aid in identity construction. In addition, some of the new relationships that emerge from the text may be prevalent among other segments of men, and/or women.

Managers must be cognizant of the variety of brand relationships that men form with regard to fashion and grooming in order to effectively appeal to this growing market. The new relationships identified exhibit the goal‐driven nature of men's engagement with brands. The prevalence of secretive and adversarial relationships also demonstrates that marketers and retailers must be mindful of men's boundaries of consumption.

Fournier highlights the importance of context to brand relationships. However, little research has investigated the relevance of the original typology across contexts and across segments. This research explores a particular sociocultural consumption context and discovers new relationship forms not previously identified among a segment of male shoppers.

THE Reference Department of Paisley Central Library today occupies the room which was the original Public Library built in 1870 and opened to the public in April 1871. Since that date two extensions to the building have taken place. The first, in 1882, provided a separate room for both Reference and Lending libraries; the second, opened in 1938, provided a new Children's Department. Together with the original cost of the building, these extensions were entirely financed by Sir Peter Coats, James Coats of Auchendrane and Daniel Coats respectively. The people of Paisley indeed owe much to this one family, whose generosity was great. They not only provided the capital required but continued to donate many useful and often extremely valuable works of reference over the many years that followed. In 1975 Paisley Library was incorporated in the new Renfrew District library service.

The purpose of this paper was to describe the experiences of four children with autism spectrum disorder navigating around the corridors of an unfamiliar school and translate the findings into poetic format. Poetry could provide a more accessible format to a nonacademic audience and promote empathy and understanding about this population.

Each participant was shown a route from the start point to the destination by the researcher then asked to lead the way there. Post-study, participants were interviewed for their perceptions and feelings about navigating.

Participants' responses and behaviors differed, e.g. some were stimulated by colors, some noticed small details and some were distracted. Poetic translation vividly emphasized these behaviors and emotions.

Few studies have described how children with autism navigate the built environment or asked their opinion about navigating. None in the field have used poetic translation to explore data.
