The renewable energy sector is growing as states aim to curtail their carbon emissions and establish a more sustainable strategy to generate energy. Despite this, there are arguments that large-scale renewable energy developments do not contribute towards community sustainability and local economies. According to recent research, community energy projects – renewable energy projects that are part or fully owned by a geographically distinct community – are seen as a means of generating energy in a way that is more sympathetic, equitable and sustainable. This article reviews the current literature that debates the benefits and obstacles facing the community energy sector.

Emile Durkheim was the first to hold a university chair in sociology, and his ideas remain of fundamental importance to all who want to understand the origins of the subject. He adopted the image of society as an organism, each part of which has a particular role to play in ensuring the well-being of the whole body. His ideas include an analysis of the social origins of religion, in particular the suggestion that any religious worship is 'worship of society'; its emphasis on what he called 'anomie' as the root of dispute and unrest in the life of an individual and society; and his original and important study of suicide as a social phenomenon. His influence is seen in fields as diverse as criminology on the one hand and literary criticism on the other.

This article evaluates the potential of a range of stem cells in cardiac tissue regeneration following a heart attack. Following an initial review of relevant research, some of the main biological mechanisms involved in cardiac tissue regeneration are presented, including: the role of transcription factors, such as oxytocin and c-kit and paracrine transcription factors; studies on zebra fish that display mechanisms such as the regnerative role of cardionogen 1, 2- and 3- in reversing the effect of induced cardiac phenotypes that normally regulate heart development; delivery and engraftment mechanisms, including viral and plasmid vectors, electrical stimulation and nantoechnology. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments are reported that have shown the clinical potential of stem cells as well as their immunological and tumorgenic risks. At the time of writing (2012), while the clinical evidence is limited, complex therapeutic models are proposed for future development in the field.

Hanner can mlynedd ar ôl boddi Tryweryn, trefnwyd cynhadledd i gasglu ynghyd a gwerthfawrogi’r gwaddol celfyddydol a ysbrydolwyd gan foddi’r cwm mewn cynhadledd deuddydd mewn lleoliad arbennig nid nepell o Dryweryn. Yn ystod y gynhadledd, traddodwyd darlithoedd gan Dafydd Iwan a Manon Eames, a chafwyd arddangosfa aml-gyfrwng unigryw yn dogfennu hanes y boddi, a’r cynnyrch celfyddydol a grëwyd yn ei sgil.  Cafwyd hefyd gyfle i ymweld â Thryweryn a chlywed am brofiadau ac atgofion Aeron Prysor Jones am foddi’r cwm, yn ogystal â mwynhau detholiad o’r ddrama Porth y Byddar gan Manon Eames, o dan gyfarwyddyd Siwan Llynor. Noddwyd y gynhadledd gan y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol a Phrifysgol Bangor.

Cyflwyniad i'r Rhyfel Canmlynedd (1337-1453) a'i berthynas â Chymru a geir yn y gyfrol hon . Roedd gan filwyr o Gymru rannau canolog yn y rhyfel hwn rhwng Lloegr a Ffrainc, a hynny ar y ddwy ochr. Ystyrir hefyd effeithiau'r Rhyfel Canmlynedd ar Gymru ei hun.

Dyfyniadau o areithiau ac erthyglau gan E. T. John, Aelod Seneddol dwyrain Sir Ddinbych yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, cenedlaetholwr Cymreig a heddychwr. Roedd yn aelod o'r Blaid Ryddfrydol hyd 1918, pan ymunodd â'r Blaid Lafur. Cyhoeddwyd gyntaf yn 1918.

Prif amcan yr e-lyfr hwn gan yr Athro Paul O'Leary yw archwilio'r modd y cafodd Cymru ei dehongli gan sylwebyddion a theithwyr Ffrangeg eu hiaith yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg. Gwneir hyn trwy gyflwyno ffynonellau yn yr iaith wreiddiol gyda chyfieithiadau i'r Gymraeg o destunau nad ydynt, hyd yn hyn, wedi'u defnyddio gan haneswyr. Maent yn dangos yr amrywiaeth o drafodaethau am Gymru a gafwyd yn Ffrainc, yn bennaf yn yr hanner canrif rhwng tua 1830 a'r 1870au pan drawsnewidiwyd Cymru gan dwf yn y boblogaeth (yng ngwlad a thref) a diwydiannu prysur. Mae'r ffynonellau yn ymwneud â thair thema oedd yn ganolog i fywyd yr oes: y duedd ymhlith rhai carfannau o bobl i wrthryfela yn erbyn awdurdod mewn cyfnod o newidiadau cymdeithasol ac economaidd sylfaenol; yr ysfa i wybod am wreiddiau ac effeithiau twf diwydiant a masnach; a safle iaith ddiwladwriaeth a'i diwylliant mewn cyfnod pan oedd gwledydd Ewrop yn ymdrechu i greu cymunedau cenedlaethol uniaith ac unffurf.

This article examines the story of a former professional footballer in recovery from alcoholism in order to improve our understanding of the nature of addiction and its manifestation in his life in general and his career in particular. Flanagan’s (2011) account of the phenomenology of addiction is used to interpret the feelings and emotions underlying and contributing to the chaos and confusion which characterise the former player’s account of his life.
