Justice and injustice were subjects of ongoing debate in medieval Europe. Received classical and biblical models both influenced how these qualities of moral and political life were perceived, discussed and acted upon. Important among these influences was the anonymous seventh-century Irish text, On The Twelve Abuses of the Age, a biblically-inspired discussion of the moral duties particular to each sector of society. This volume probes its long influence, and its interaction with the revival of classical ideas. By bringing together scholars of political thought and practice, in lay and religious contexts spanning the seventh to fourteenth centuries, this volume crosses boundaries of periodisation, discipline and approach to reflect upon the medieval evolution of concepts of injustice and means of redress. Contributions address how ideas about justice and injustice were discussed among scholars and theologians, and how those ideas were translated into action through complaint and advice throughout the medieval period.

The current integrative review explored the prevalence of delirium among Thai older adults and the role of nurses and physicians in detecting delirium. Several academic databases were searched for relevant studies using a set of predetermined search terms and limits. Study quality was assessed using the National Health and Medical Research Council's Principles of Peer Review. Thirteen studies were reviewed, and three themes were identified: (a) Epidemiology ( n = 9), (b) Detection ( n = 5), and (c) Role of Nurses and Physicians ( n = 4). Higher priority cases were treated for immediate problems by physicians, but they did not routinely screen for delirium, which remained underdiagnosed. Lack of delirium screening guidelines or protocols was found to be the greatest barrier to detection. The ability of nurses to perform delirium screening was disregarded in most studies. There is limited research exploring delirium in Thai older adults, including lack of guidelines or protocols for health care professionals and lack of knowledge of delirium detection, management, and prevention. Further validation of screening tools and developing the training of health care professionals, specific to detecting delirium, is required. [ Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 46 (6), 43–52.]
