African caribbean pupils in art and design education
This work looks at the implications for teaching art and design to children of African-Caribbean heritage in the British educational system. It is organised in three sections. The first provides the broad rationale for the thesis and includes an analysis of viewpoints on the diasporic state, this instead of a literature review, It asserts that children of African Caribbean and wider diasporic backgrounds are disadvantaged by not being made familiar with material from their cultural heritages. This has come about, I argue, by the enduring effects of the rupture that was the slave trade and the lack of acknowledgement of the significance of the black presence in the West. Consequently, the paper contends, diasporic peoples are rendered invisible. The thesis asserts that culture as a context for teaching is fundamental to art and design education. Therefore African Caribbean learners, whose cultural heritages are not seen, are disadvantaged and appear culturally impoverished relative to others. To substantiate this critical viewpoint, key, texts, by theorists on diasporic studies are referenced and analysed. These include David Dabydeen, CLR Jarnes, Stuart Hall and Kamau Brathwaite. My intention in this first section, therefore, is to throw light on the tensions surrounding the black subject, their lack of a positive presence in the critical and contextual material that children are exposed to and how this tension impacts on the teaching of art. The values disseminated in such pedagogies are central to the enquiry.

Should Physicians Screen for Dementia in the Primary Care Setting?
The question of possible benefits of physicians screening for dementia in
elderly patients in the outpatient setting remains open. Although no controlled studies
have thus far been able to conclusively demonstrate that doing so is in fact beneficial,
the end points of such studies, such as mortality, are rather crude. Increasingly, there
are arguments that harder to track end points need to be examined in more detail, and
that earlier recognition of cognitive impairment can potentially have a significant
impact on a number of clinical matters. These include, for example, recognition of
potential problems with medication compliance, driving risk, predicting post-operative
delirium, and allowing more time for patient and family planning of finances and living
arrangements, as well as recommending life style changes in diet and exercise habits
that may help retard the progression of early cognitive impairment. In this article we
will discuss evidence regarding these points, and also give a brief outline of the pros
and cons of some of the numerous brief cognitive screens that can be utilized for
screening purposes.
