Removing the Basis of the Historic Conflict? The Downing Street Declaration and the Contested Role of European Integration in the Northern Ireland Peace Process
This article examines the section on European integration in the Joint Declaration by British Prime Minister John Major and his Irish counterpart Taoiseach Albert Reynolds in 1993. The Joint Declaration, also known as the ‘Downing Street Declaration’, was a pivotal moment in the Northern Ireland peace process. Using archival material and witness interviews, this article tracks the development of the text on Europe over time, revealing a negotiati…
Migrant integration policies, regional social disadvantage, ethnicity and psychosis risk
Compared with individual-level factors, macro-level exposures have received less attention in research on the increased risk of psychosis among ethnic minorities. We aimed to investigate the impact of migrant integration policies and area-level social deprivation on higher incidence rates among ethnic minorities. This study, conducted between 2010 and 2015, analysed incidence data from five countries from the EUropean network of national schizoph…
The effect of non-medical cannabis retailer proximity on use of mental health services for psychotic disorders in Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND: Cannabis is associated with the onset and persistence of psychotic disorders. Evidence suggests that accessibility of substances is associated with an increased risk of use-related harms. We sought to examine the effect of residing in proximity to non-medical cannabis retailers on the prevalence of health service use for psychosis. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using linked health administrative data, and used geospati…
Impact of non-medical cannabis legalization with market restrictions on health service use and incident cases of psychotic disorder in Ontario, Canada
The effect of antipsychotics on glutamate levels in the anterior cingulate cortex and clinical response
These findings indicate that treatment response is unlikely to be associated with baseline glutamatergic metabolites prior to antipsychotic treatment, and there is no major effect of antipsychotic treatment on glutamatergic metabolites in the ACC
First-episode Psychosis and Migration in Italy
Our finding of a "high functioning portrait" of FEP migrants allow us to hypothesize that a high burden of negative psychosocial factors is likely to be needed for the FEP onset. Furtherly, mental health services should implement more appropriate resources and organizational methods to respond to migrants' health needs
The contribution of cannabis use to variation in the incidence of psychotic disorder across Europe (EU-GEI)
BACKGROUND: Cannabis use is associated with increased risk of later psychotic disorder but whether it affects incidence of the disorder remains unclear. We aimed to identify patterns of cannabis use with the strongest effect on odds of psychotic disorder across Europe and explore whether differences in such patterns contribute to variations in the incidence rates of psychotic disorder. METHODS: -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the different types o…
The Representativeness of Participants With Severe Mental Illness in a Psychosocial Clinical Trial
Introduction: Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are increased in severe mental illnesses (SMI). Trials of psychosocial health interventions to improve physical health in SMI, including in treatment-resistant schizophrenia, have shown some benefit. However, the representativeness of participants in such trials has not been determined. Method: We utilized an anonymised case register to determine if participants in a randomized controlled trial…
Monstrous Nature
Godzilla, a traditional natural monster and representation of cinema's subgenre of natural attack, also provides a cautionary symbol of the dangerous consequences of mistreating the natural world-monstrous nature on the attack. Horror films such as Godzilla invite an exploration of the complexities of a monstrous nature that humanity both creates and embodies. Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann demonstrate how the horror film and its offshoots…
Co-operatives in the Cultural Industries
This podcast is a recording of a roundtable discussion on Co-operatives in the Cultural Industries, that took place at City University London on April 1, 2015, organised by Marisol Sandoval and Jo Littler. Speakers were Robin Murray, Rhiannon Colvin, Sion Whellens and Tara Mulqueen. The lives of cultural workers are complex and contradictory; often combining work satisfaction, pleasure and autonomy with job insecurity, low pay, long hours, anxiet…

Film and Everyday Eco-disasters
Eco-disasters such as coal-mining accidents, oil spills, and food-borne diseases appear regularly in the news, making them seem nearly commonplace. These ecological crises highlight the continual tensions between human needs and the environmental impact these needs produce. Contemporary documentaries and feature films explore environmental-human conflicts by depicting the consequences of our overconsumption and dependence on nonrenewable energy. …
Role of Environmental Confounding in the Association between FKBP5 and First-Episode Psychosis
Our results suggest that the extent to which genetic variants in FKBP5 can influence susceptibility to psychosis may depend on other etiological factors. This finding requires further validation in large independent cohorts. Potentially this work could have translational implications; the ability to discriminate between genetic etiologies based on a case-by-case understanding of previous environmental exposures would confer an important clinical …
Satisfaction with inpatient treatment for first-episode psychosis among different ethnic groups
Background: There is concern about the level of satisfaction with mental healthcare among minority ethnic patients in the UK, particularly as black patients have more compulsory admissions to hospital. Aims: To determine and compare levels of satisfaction with mental healthcare between patients from different ethnic groups in a three-centre study of first-onset psychosis. Method: Data were collected from 216 patients with first-episode psychosis …

Examining evidence for neighbourhood variation in the duration of untreated psychosis
Neighbourhood factors do not appear to be associated with DUP, suggesting its predictors lie at individual and family levels. Our results inform mental healthcare planning, suggesting that in one urbanised area of Southeast London, where you live does not affect duration of untreated psychosis
Recent Developments in the African Human Rights System 2007
This article examines the most recent human rights developments in the African Union (AU) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) in particular in 2007. It draws primarily on the two sessions of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Commission) held in 2007, in May and November, and the contents of the African Commission's 22nd Activity Report adopted by the AU in July 2007. 1 Analysis of developments i…
Developments in the African Human Rights System 2003-04
In January 2005 the Summit of the African Union (AU) adopted the 17th Annual Activity Report of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (‘Commission’). 1 The Report contains the key features of the work of the Commission from July 2003 to July 2004. The present paper highlights the important developments in the African human rights system over this period. Over recent years the Commission has developed a more thematic approach to its …

Incidence of schizophrenia in ethnic minorities in London
Objective: To determine whether the incidence of schizophrenia among people from non-white ethnic minorities is greater in neighbourhoods where they constitute a smaller proportion of the total population. Design: Ecological design including retrospective study of case records to calculate the incidence of schizophrenia in the ethnic minority population across electoral wards and multi-level analysis to examine interaction between individuals and…
Multilevel Modeling of Cognitive Function in Schizophrenic Patients and Their First Degree Relatives
We describe multilevel modeling of cognitive function in subjects with schizophrenia, their healthy first degree relatives and controls. The purpose of the study was to compare mean cognitive performance between the three groups after adjusting for various covariates, as well as to investigate differences in the variances. Multilevel models were required because subjects were nested within families and some of the measures were repeated several t…
Testing hypotheses on specific environmental causal effects on behavior
There have been strong critiques of the notion that environmental influences can have an important effect on psychological functioning. The substance of these criticisms is considered in order to infer the methodological challenges that have to be met. Concepts of cause and of the testing of causal effects are discussed with a particular focus on the need to consider sample selection and the value (and limitations) of longitudinal data. The desig…

Towards a Flexible State
This article considers innovations in public service organization in the light of recent changes in corporate organization. It argues that many criticisms of the traditional state are criticisms of a mechanical model which also characterizes large private firms, and that what is needed is a more organic approach, where there is a shift from centralized planning to participative strategy. This would involve rationalized pyramidal organizations bei…

Second Thoughts on Ghana
The interest of ‘Ghana: End of an Illusion’ far transcends its immediate subject. In reality it exposes two ‘illusions’: on the one hand, the absence of lucidity and consistency in the anti-imperialist and ‘socialist’ strategy applied by the Ghanaian political leadership under Nkrumah; on the other, the willing

Internationalization of Capital and the Nation State
Liberal models of the international economy, as of international relations in general, still spring predominantly from an early utilitarianism. The nation state is treated as the basic category in the world: the atom of the system. States are assumed to be rational, self-conscious, self-determining units, analogies of economic

The Genetics of Schizophrenia and its Implications
London and the Greater London Council
London — still one of the world's major imperial capitals — is facing a severe economic crisis, with 400,000 people unemployed, mass poverty, and large scale de?industrialisation. This is partly the result of London's changing place in the international division of labour, particularly within the EEC. Equally important is the widespread restructuring of its service and industrial base induced by the international crisis of profitability, and deep…
Ownership, Control and the Market
For many years capitalism was defined in terms of two key elements: private ownership of the means of production, and the existence of wage labour. These conditions gave rise to the existence of surplus value, which, in the hands of capitalists, became capital. From this sprang a definition

Schizophrenia
In a recent Swedish study, Lewis et al' found that the risk of schizophrenia was greater in people brought up in cities than in those brought up in rural areas. The factors re- sponsible for this effect are uncertain but a winter birth excess has been consistently re- ported in schizophrenia.2 We suggest that the same factors are responsible for both the urban/ rural difference in risk and the winter birth excess. We predict (a) winter birth and …
