Abuse in care? The identification of early indicators of the abuse of people with learning disabilities in residential settings (2007)
Journal Article

Although No Secrets suggests that adult protection practices should seek to prevent abuse, it can be argued that such practice predominately focuses on pursuing effective responses to abuse that has already happened, rather than preventing the onset...

Living with death in a time of AIDS: A rural South African case study (2007)
Journal Article

Aims: To examine how a rural community profoundly affected by escalating rates of largely AIDS-related deaths of young and middle-aged people makes sense of this phenomenon and its impact on their everyday lives. Methods: Data were collected in Aginc... Read More about Living with death in a time of AIDS: A rural South African case study.

The polynomial degree of the Grassmannian G1,n,2 (2006)
Journal Article
Shaw, R., & Gordon, N. A. (2006). The polynomial degree of the Grassmannian G1,n,2. Designs, codes, and cryptography, 39(2), 289-306. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10623-005-4524-4

For a subset ψ of PG(N, 2) a known result states that ψ has polynomial degree ≤ r, r ≤ N, if and only if ψ intersects every r-flat of PG(N, 2) in an odd number of points. Certain refinements of this result are considered, and are then applied in the... Read More about The polynomial degree of the Grassmannian G1,n,2.

Partial spreads in PG(4,2) and flats in PG(9,2) external to the Grassmannian G1,4,2 (2005)
Journal Article
Shaw, R., Gordon, N. A., & Maks, J. G. (2005). Partial spreads in PG(4,2) and flats in PG(9,2) external to the Grassmannian G1,4,2. Discrete Mathematics, 301(1), 137-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.disc.2004.11.023

We consider the following 'even hyperplane construction'of flats in the projective space PG(9, 2) = P(boolean AND(2) V(5, 2)) which are external to the Grassmannian G(1,4,2) of lines of PG(4,2). Let the Grassmann image in G(1,4,2) of a partial spread... Read More about Partial spreads in PG(4,2) and flats in PG(9,2) external to the Grassmannian G1,4,2.

Liberal versions of sexuality, which mark South Africa's new democracy, have had a number of highly contradictory consequences for women and men, as old notions of masculinity and male privilege have been destabilized. The transition to democracy has... Read More about Men behaving differently: South African men since 1994.

This article explores meanings of whiteness through a case study of the South African Society of Medical Women [SASMW]. It unpacks the social meanings attached to being a white woman doctor in South Africa under apartheid, through an analysis of the...

The 155 points of the Grassmannian g(1,4,2) of lines of PG(4,2) = PV(5,2) are those points x is an element of PG(9,2) = P(boolean AND V-2(5,2)) which satisfy a certain quintic equation Q(x) = 0. (The quintic polynomial Q is given explicitly in Shaw a... Read More about The quintic Grassmannian g(1,4,2) in PG(9,2).

The social reality of the imaginary audience: A grounded theory approach (2003)
Journal Article
Bromnick, R. D., & Bell, J. H. (2003). The social reality of the imaginary audience: A grounded theory approach. Adolescence -San Diego-, 38(150), 205-219

Traditional approaches to understanding the imaginary audience are challenged in this study. Three hundred sixty-one British schoolchildren (aged 14 and 15 years) were asked to express their worries and concerns, using grounded theory methodology. Qu...
