A photographic record of a pre- and post-lake creation event from World War II at Valley, Isle of Anglesey, UK

The article compares a recent aerial photograph of the lowlands of the Isle of Anglesey area with a German surveillance photograph from 1941. The authors aim to infer the environmental changes made to this sand dune and lake system as a direct consequence of constructing the airfield. Part of Tywyn Trewan, the extensive sand dune system, was completely destroyed in order to create runways and the technical and domestic accommodation to house a strategic airfield. As part of the dredging, six new water bodies with a combined surface area of approximately 6 ha were created.

Três datas: entre nascer e morrer, O guardador de rebanhos

O presente trabalho objetiva o exercício de criação em torno do dia 8 de março de 1914, dito como triunfal pelo poeta Fernando Pessoa, nos momentos que antecedem a escrita do poema O guardador de rebanhos, de autoria do heterônimo Alberto Caeiro. A partir de versos do poema intenta-se uma construção ficcional fincada em um estado onírico que é canal para os fluxos de criação, preparação para o que vai eclodir: um poema potente que emerge do mistério da heteronímia, renúncia do poeta à sua voz para dar lugar ao OUTRO que dele difere, porém dele surge, nele mora. Há no espaço ficcional a ideia de inscrever a data de 8 de março de 1914 como um terceiro marco na biografia do poeta que negou ter biografia, apenas nascimento e morte como limites entre os quais a vida correu como obra, como fazer poesia. A data que dá carne ao poema é ficção dentro da ficção, contraponto de guerra em meio à luz da poesia que nasce como tarefa heroica de enfrentamento diante dos perigos do mundo. O trabalho pretende chegar mais perto de uma verdade que só através da ficção pode ser tocada: sentir o fluxo de um dia no processo de criação do poeta, ser livre como ele, na ousadia de recriar o momento da escrita do poema em 1914

Reflective writing: The student nurse's perspective on reflective writing and poetry writing.

Summary Background Reflective writing is a mandatory part of nurse education but how students develop their skills and use reflection as part of their experiential learning remains relatively unknown. Understanding reflective writing in all forms from the perspective of a student nurse is therefore important. Objectives To explore the use of reflective writing and the use of poetry in pre-registered nursing students. Design A qualitative design was employed to explore reflective writing in pre-registered nursing students. Setting A small university in Scotland. Participants BSc (Hons) Adult and Mental Health Pre-registration Student Nurses. Methods Two focus groups were conducted with 10 student nurses during March 2012. Data was analysed thematically using the framework of McCarthy (1999). Results Students found the process of reflective writing daunting but valued it over time. Current educational methods, such as assessing reflective accounts, often lead to the ‘narrative’ being watered down and the student feeling judged. Despite this, reflection made students feel responsible for their own learning and research on the topic. Some students felt the use of models of reflection constricting, whilst poetry freed up their expression allowing them to demonstrate the compassion for their patient under their care. Conclusions Poetry writing gives students the opportunity for freedom of expression, personal satisfaction and a closer connection with their patients, which the more formal approach to reflective writing did not offer. There is a need for students to have a safe and supportive forum in which to express and have their experiences acknowledged without the fear of being judged.
