Boundary spanners are individuals, who operate at the boundary of an organization, performing relevant tasks (Leifer & Delbecq, 1978).

End of life care for multimorbid patients is particularly complex and in most health and care systems fragmented and uncoordinated. More importantly, highly medicalised and hospital-centric care often leads to overtreatment and over use of ...

We develop further some aspects of the spectral theory of a class of Riemannian manifolds introduced by E. B. Davies; in particular we study the best constant in the Hardy Inequality which has become important in spectral theory. One application of this constant has been to a certain type of domain perturbation. This technique is useful when the domain has an irregular boundary and this is the ...
