Scotland’s pre-election period should be approached with pragmatism
And for companies and projects operating in Scotland, the potential impact of an effective shut-down in government functions for six weeks under the conclusion that all decisions are politically sensitive will amount to an unnecessary pause on key economic activity.
Backlog shapes building safety agenda in 2026
Important steps towards implementation of the Grenfell inquiry recommendations are expected – with the government having set out a timeline for certain milestones on the journey towards a single construction regulator last month. This year will also be the year that updates to the building safety regime in Wales take effect, with the reforms closely reflecting those introduced in England under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Employment Rights Bill stalls over unfair dismissal cap issue
Late last month, the government dropped its plans to provide employees in Britain with rights to claim unfair dismissal from ‘day one’ of their employment while proposing to reduce the period that would apply before they qualify for unfair dismissal protections from two years to six months, applicable from January 2027. At the same time, the government announced plans to ‘lift’ the current compensation cap that applies to unfair dismissal claims – a year’s pay or £118,223, whichever is lower”.
Reeves’ growth plans hitched to infrastructure, AI and life sciences
Regionalised investment in new infrastructure, to support the growth of UK industries like AI and life sciences industries and the scaling-up of renewable energy generation, is at the heart of the UK government's plans to deliver sustainable economic growth in the country, UK chancellor Rachel Reeves has confirmed.
Infrastructure policies critical in delivering UK government’s pro-growth agenda
Several important policies, targets and legislation around planning, infrastructure and industries are expected to be announced by the Labour government in 2025. This provides the prime minister with an opportunity to reclaim the narrative and clearly set out how his mission-driven approach will put the UK on a positive economic trajectory and improve people’s lives.
Hydrodynamic model of the Colorado River, Glen Canyon Dam to Lees Ferry in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Arizona
First posted November 22, 2024 The U.S. Geological Survey constructed a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model that was applied to a 15.8-mile tailwater reach of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon that begins 0.25 mile downstream from Glen Canyon Dam and extends to Lees Ferry in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Arizona.
Potential Scottish Budget impasse has hidden consequences
Engaging in horse-trading with opposition parties is an important part of the budget process, and the SNP will almost certainly be prepared to make concessions to see its Budget Bill passed, as they have done in years gone by, and before the cooperation agreement was first implemented. However, the backdrop against which this year’s budget is being set is extremely perilous, not only financially but also politically.
UK’s industrial strategy proposals set out growth agenda for next decade
The industrial strategy green paper (66-page/3.8MB PDF), titled Invest 2035, sets out eight growth-driving sectors that the government has identified and will focus on providing support to in the next 10 years. The paper has outlined the government’s approach focused on reducing barriers to growth in sectors and places with the highest growth potential and creating the conditions for increased investment across the UK.
Employment Rights Bill to bring once-in-a-generation change for UK employers
Helen Corden of Pinsent Masons was commenting after the Bill – which makes provision for 28 different employment law reforms – was introduced into the UK parliament on Thursday. Among the changes proposed are enhanced rights for workers around flexible working, and the extension of existing employment rights – including rights to sick pay, and to protection against unfair dismissal – so that they apply from ‘day one’ of employment contracts.

‘Single-use’ cup charge proposed in Scotland
The proposals for imposing a new minimum charge for single-use disposable beverage cups were opened to consultation on Thursday and, subject to the outcome of the consultation process, are envisaged to take effect before the end of 2025.
A literature review and hypsometric analysis to support decisions on trout management flows on the Colorado River downstream from Glen Canyon Dam
First posted August 7, 2024 Fish stranding has been studied in select rivers worldwide, often with the purpose of determining how to mitigate adverse effects of dam operations on highly valued salmon and trout populations. However, where a reduction in trout population size is desired by resource managers, as is the case downstream of the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River, flow manipulations termed trout management flows (TMFs) may be used to optimize fish stranding and mortality.
UK chancellor statement shows Labour’s commitment to fiscal prudence
The chancellor of the exchequer, Rachel Reeves, made a statement to the House of Commons on 29 July to announce departmental savings and the establishment of a new ‘Office for Value for Money’. The new office will set out to address what has been described as a “black hole” in the UK’s public finances. The chancellor outlined that the Labour government has inherited a projected overspend of £22 billion this year alone, which she must now mitigate.

Low employee engagement in your security training? Here's how to fix it.
If you experience a breach that involved poor employee judgement, the organization can now be held accountable in any legal actions, and just because you "have a program" doesn't mean you have done what is needed to avoid liability. But it also makes sense to go the extra mile to ensure that employees not only complete the training, but that they learn from it.

Solving the Puzzle of Coronary Artery Disease in the Elderly
In the process of aligning treatment options to fit each individual patient, the clinician must carefully evaluate how each decision affects the overarching goals of care. In the management of coronary artery disease, however, these tradeoffs are often confounded by a bias toward less invasive strategies in the elderly. Given that women outnumber men by 54% beyond the age of 80 years, 1 Statista Resident population of the United States by sex and age as of July 1, 2020.

When Journalists Go “Below the Line”: Comment Spaces at The Guardian (2006-2017)
Introduction “Below the line” (BTL) comment spaces have grown to be one of the most popular and widely engaged with forms of user-generated content on news websites. Comment spaces provide a space for public debate in which journalists can hear from, and directly engage with, their audience (Manosevitch and Walker 2009, 681; Lewis, Holton, and Coddington 2014; Graham and Wright 2015).
Narrative Approach to Goals of Care Discussions: Assessing Use of the 3-Act Model in the Clinical Setting
Abstract Context The 3-Act Model is an innovative narrative approach to goals of care (GOC) discussions centered on patients’ unique stories. Prior studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the 3-Act Model training in enhancing trainees’ skills objectively in role plays with standardized patients. This study moves beyond the classroom to the clinical setting to assess whether learners preferred this approach, believed it to be clinically effective, and demonstrated proficiency objectively.
