Aims: To develop a structured goal-set for use in programs for the assessment and management of prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOC). Methods: A retrospective analysis of goals from a consecutive cohort of patients (n = 162) admitted to a specialist in-patient PDOC program in the UK from 2007 to 2018. Overall goal attainment was examined with Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) using the GAS-Light method. Rates of individual goal-setting and achievement were examined for both standardized objectives (n = 2959) and personalized goals (n = 661). Goal statements from the personalized goals were independently reviewed and mapped to the domains of the existing structured objective set to identify any missing goal areas. Results: Mean outcome GAS T-scores were 47.2 (95% CI: 46.7, 47.6) and 47.7 (95% CI: 46.7, 48.8), respectively, for the standardized and personally set goals. These were closely correlated (r = 0.482, p <.001) with no significant difference between them. Analysis of goal achievement within each domain identified goals that were/were not likely to be achieved. An initial structured set of 20 standardized objectives in 12 domains was expanded and re-organized to produce a final-structured goal-set of 36 objectives in 18 domains. Conclusions: Developed through real-life clinical practice, this first published structured goal-set for PDOC programs now requires testing in other services/settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During recent years, the theory of charged particle optics together with advances in fabrication tolerances and experimental techniques has lead to very significant advances in high-performance electron microscopes. Here, we will describe which theoretical tools, inventions and designs have driven this development. We cover the basic theory of higher-order electron optics and of image formation in electron microscopes. This leads to a description of different methods to correct aberrations by multipole fields and to a discussion of the most advanced design that take advantage of these techniques. The theory of electron mirrors is developed and it is shown how this can be used to correct aberrations and to design energy filters. Finally, different types of energy filters are described.

The challenges presented to the UN and the international community following the Cold War demand new responses and thinking with regard to peacekeeping operations. The situation in the former Yugoslavia provided a forum in which to develop a new approach to peacekeeping. The UN operated in a humanitarian role within a civil war, and a much greater level of enforcement was required than in other peacekeeping missions. The Security Council mandates defined the aspirations and limitations of the international community. Although at times the UN peacekeepers used high levels of force, it was not, and did not allow itself to be seen as, unacceptably partial or applying undue force. In a peacekeeping situation, there is still a clear need for a campaign plan to ensure cooperation between all organizations and the delivery of humanitarian aid A UN mission cannot operate in a political vacuum; gains made on the security front will be lost if political momentum is not maintained.

Much is happening in the field of international security, and in this article Lt Gen Rose examines how these changes are being reflected in teaching at the Staff College Camberley. For years the curriculum remained shack‐led to the doctrine of fortification, mathematics and riding, and, while the shape of post‐Second World War strategic thinking was determined by the development of nuclear weapons, operational doctrine remained confined to the demands of a ‘set‐piece’ battle. All, however, is changing. Not only have huge technological advances forced analysts to look beyond historical precedent, but reduced defence budgets and the sheer extent and diversity of today's security blackspots are encouraging more resourceful and conceptual thinking. The emphasis on learning at the Staff College falls beyond the class room to encompass all aspects of conflict and war, whether technological, ethical/legal, practical, humanitarian or command and control.
