different in this regard. Its creators appropriated the same seven-day cycle and infused it with Old Testament lore, according to the belief that God had created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. Backed by the authority of Biblical scripture, the seven-day ritual was subsequently institutionalised as the collective regulator of society, enshrined in the concept of the Sabbath (the word itself deriving
. While the law existed as the ever-present regulator, Queen and Country will show that in the context of homosex in the armed forces during the Second World War, it was less than consistently applied. The question therefore becomes when, why and how were those legal frameworks put into operation? The institution did not oppose bonds between men and between women. On the contrary, homosociability was one of the fundamental tenets of the services. When opposition was voiced, it was largely because extensions of that foundational relationship were • 17 • queen and
2016 that in schools with more than 50 per cent of Muslims there ought to be bussing in order to bring about an enforced mixing.81 Needless to say, in the wake of the disastrous 2014 Trojan Horse affair, when the regulator OFSTED claimed to have found evidence of Islamist infiltration of some twenty-one schools in Birmingham, such recommendations had an air of muscular common sense about them, despite the disturbing complexity of the issues involved. It is fairly obvious that neither Lampl nor the former head of the CRE appears to be cognisant of the shady side of
, and thereby establish him as regulator of the community’s life. After Luke’s death and probable replacement by a Latin bishop, the priests assumed his role. They displayed his sanctity and were eager to produce and disseminate his Vita in an effort to persuade the community, as well as Latin authorities, to accept their socio-religious role. A posthumous miracle by the saint can be interpreted in the same way, since it might refer to tensions provoked by local Latin magnates who demanded abusive taxes from the Italo-Greek clergy. 14 A certain ‘Frank’ (Φράγκος
high political stakes for governments. 17 Regulators see issues surrounding hospital hygiene standards and cleanliness as symptomatic of wider systems failures, and as a principal measure of healthcare quality. Thus, hospital infections serve as a key performance indicator, and infection prevention and control are an important part of a wider patient safety agenda within hospitals. 18 Foreshadowed in the 1970s by the criticisms in Ivan Illich’s influential polemic, Medical Nemesis , in which he argued that modern medicine was a major threat to world health
women, the Bader Committee argued that the ‘home environment’ was essential for the emotional health of pilots and was particularly important to mitigate the effects of personal stress ‘leading to fatigue’. 69 Time at home had, the Bader Committee held, both physical and emotional benefits. To this end, pilot fatigue was transformed in regulatory discourse. Once framed in primarily physiological terms, by the 1970s the psychological and social pressures of commercial aviation were central to regulators’ understanding
rise of clinical trials was massively predicated on their internalisation by drug companies, on their blending with scientific marketing, and on the absence of alternative producers of drug-related clinical knowledge. This does not imply that state authorities and administrative regulation played no role in these developments. The contrast between the trajectories of Ludiomil and Levoprotiline readily show the opposite, since the first one passed the regulatory test without difficulties while Ciba-Geigy never convinced German regulators that the

relatives frequently raise questions about nursing care, not realising that only part of the workforce are trained nurses with professional qualifications.93 In these circumstances nurses and nurse managers (with and without specialist responsibilities for the mentally disordered) are vulnerable to criticism with regard to their own clinical practice, information-sharing with colleagues/regulators, maintenance of minimum care standards and/or staffing ratios, and the management of subordinate care staff. Official reports and media coverage from the present will surely
the Affordable Care Act does not operate ‘in [an] are[a] … where States historically have been sovereign’. As evidenced by Medicare, Medicaid, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the Federal Government plays a lead role in the health-care sector, both as a direct payer and as a regulator
