The importance of investing in data, models, experiments, team science, and public trust to help policymakers prepare for the next pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about valuable insights regarding models, data, and experiments. In this narrative review, we summarised the existing literature on these three themes, exploring the challenges of providing forecasts, the requirement for real-time linkage of health-related datasets, and the role of ‘experimentation’ in evaluating interventions. This literature review encourages us to broaden our perspective for the future, acknow…
Ethnic differences in Sars-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19-related hospitalisation, intensive care unit admission, and death in 17 million adults in England
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 has disproportionately affected minority ethnic populations in the UK. Our aim was to quantify ethnic differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 outcomes during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. METHODS: We conducted an observational cohort study of adults (aged ≥18 years) registered with primary care practices in England for whom electronic health records were available through the OpenSAF…

Assessing the Early Holocene Environment of Northwestern Guyana
This study uses stable carbon δ13C and oxygen δ18O isotope compositions data to assess the extent to which diet breadths of northwestern Guyana changed during the Holocene. We analyzed human bone and enamel remains from seven shell mound sites dating between 7500 and 2600 BP. Our analyses demonstrate some constancy in C3 plant availability during the past several thousand years, though we note increasing reliance on such plants beginning in the E…

Hong Kong English
A recurring theme in the literature on English in Hong Kong is the belief that since English apparently plays a negligible role in the everyday lives of its mainly Cantonese-speaking population, there is no societal basis for the emergence of a nativised variety. One of the limitations of this entirely plausible view is that it is not substantiated by empirical evidence. This article seeks to bridge the gap in our knowledge in this area by report…
P1-14 Identifying adverse events of vaccines using a Bayesian method of medically guided information sharing
Introduction The detection of adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) fundamentally depends on how these events are classified. Standard methods impose a choice between either grouping similar events together to gain power or splitting them into more specific definitions. We demonstrate a method of medically guided Bayesian information sharing that avoids grouping or splitting the data, and we further combine this with the standard epidemiol…
Our Memories of the Uprisings
Thirty years after the violent disturbances in St Paul's (Bristol) marked the beginning of the broader unrest of the 1980s, ‘Our Memories of the Uprisings’ provided a forum in which to discuss how these events developed, the social tensions involved and their legacies. This unrest, focused on Brixton, Liverpool 8 (now Toxteth), St Paul's and a number of other sites, was and is frequently characterized as ‘racial rioting’, a term still erroneously…

Evaluating the Human Rights Performance of Legislatures
Despite increased recognition of the role of legislatures in protecting human rights, particularly through their scrutiny of proposed legislation, there has been little detailed consideration of how best to evaluate their performance in discharging this role. This article aims to fill this significant gap by outlining and defending a methodology for carrying out such an evaluation. Our objective is to provide a rich and valid account of the perfo…

A Comparison of the Quality of Life of Severely Mentally Ill People in Uk & German Samples
The improvement of the quality of life of people with a severe mental illness is a key policy objective and an important outcome for clinical services. Drawing on cases assessed using the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile and its German transiation (The Berliner Lebensqualitatprofil), this paper explores the relationship between personal characteristics, objective well being, subjective well being and overall well being. These variables are comp…
Application and Results of the Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (Mansa)
Background Based on experiences and empirical evidence gained in studies using the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (LQLP), the Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (MANSA) has been developed as a condensed and slightly modified instrument for assessing quality of life. Its properties have been tested in a sample of community care patients. Method Fifty-five randomly selected patients on the Care Programme Approach were interviewed us…

Early influences on the secular change in adult height between the parents and children of the 1958 birth cohort
The present account is of data available from the 1958 British national birth cohort and its follow-up to the age of 23 years. It shows an increase in adult height between the cohort members and their parents, amounting to an average 1.2 +/- 0.11 (SEM) cm between the daughters and their mothers and 3.0 +/- 0.12 cm between the sons and their fathers. Factors in early life which contributed jointly to a significant increase in adult height included…
Uses and abuses of multivariate methods in epidemiology
Blood pressure and migration
The role of blood pressure in explaining the increased risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in Bengali immigrants living in the East End of London was studied in a comparative population study. In addition the effect on blood pressure of age, body mass, and duration of stay in the UK was evaluated. The Bengalis had significantly lower mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures though these differences disappeared after adjustment for age and bo…
