Acceptability of ambulance-based telemedicine (ABT) for paediatric emergencies in Karachi, Pakistan
INTRODUCTION: Globally, half of all 6.2 million deaths in children are caused by acute illnesses which can be prevented if diagnosed and treated in time. We hypothesise that long elapsed travel time and delay in care can be tackled using telemedicine. The objective of this study is to determine the acceptability of linking ambulances that transport acutely ill children to a remote paediatric emergency physician using a simple audiovisual device. …

Scallywag bunkers: Geophysical investigations of WW2 Auxiliary Unit Operational Bases (OBs) in the UK
In 1940, with the fall of France imminent, Britain prepared secret ‘Auxiliary Units’ tasked with guerrilla activities [Scallywagging] in the invading army’s rear. Patrols of four to eight highly skilled men used below-ground Operational Bases (OBs) in remote locations to avoid detection. No official records are released, but OBs were ‘Mark I’, enlarged deer setts, smuggler caves, etc., and Mark II, prefabricated designs by the Royal Engineers. Th…
Reading the Police File: Interiority and the Forensic Artefact
This essay explores the challenges encountered in pursuing interdisciplinary research into forensic material culture, in particular the forensic photograph. Scholarly research projects which are also geared towards popular curatorial outcomes (public exhibitions, publications, digital media outputs) are subject to complex ethical and methodological considerations. Drawing on his own curatorial experience the author suggests that a major task in r…
Geophysical investigations of WWII air-raid shelters in the UK
Just before WWII, the British government prepared for an aerial onslaught that was predicted to raze cities and cause mass casualties. By 1938, the Air Raid Precautions Act officially stated that population protection would be through dispersal, meaning evacuation and small-scale protection, local authority responsibility often devolving to householders. Archaeological records of remaining air-raid shelters are relatively rare and under threat. T…
Has India’s national rural health mission reduced inequities in maternal health services? A pre-post repeated cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND: In 2005, India launched the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) to strengthen the primary healthcare system. NRHM also aims to encourage pregnant women, particularly of low socioeconomic backgrounds, to use institutional maternal healthcare. We evaluated the impacts of NRHM on socioeconomic inequities in the uptake of institutional delivery and antenatal care (ANC) across high-focus (deprived) Indian states. METHODS: Data from Distri…
Multi-disciplinary investigations at PoW Camp 198, Bridgend, S. Wales: Site of a mass escape in March 1945
The largest escape of German Prisoner of War (PoW) in WW2 was in March 1945 from Camp 198, situated in Bridgend, South Wales, UK. Since camp closure the site has become derelict, and has not been scientifically investigated. This paper reports on the search to locate the PoW escape tunnel that was dug from Hut 9. This hut remains in remarkable condition, with numerous PoW graffiti still present. Also preserved is a prisoner-constructed false wall…

Burn me up this time fellas: When movies represent the recording studio
Since 1950, sound recording studios have become a recurring setting in the narrative fiction feature film. This essay historically situates the early appearance of the studio interior as movie set, using Keightley and Gracyk's notion of ‘record consciousness'. The article traces the shifting visual semiotics of the studio interior through four phases: the 1950s era post-war technophilic (and implicitly authoritarian) ideal, which gives way to a ‘…
Human immunodeficiency virus and Aids and other important predictors of maternal mortality in Mulago Hospital Complex Kampala Uganda
The predictors of progression from severe maternal morbidity to mortality were: residing far from hospital, low socio economic status, non attendance of antenatal care, poor intrapartum care, and HIV/AIDS.There is need to improve on the referral system, economic empowerment of women and to offer comprehensive emergency obstetric care so as to reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality in our community
The Tough Sell: Narrating the Artist–Hustler Relationship
Popular music studies has recently been enlivened by the turn to collaborative rather than individualist models of creativity and creative process: artists are seen in collaboration with each other, with auteur record producers, with writers and composers, and so on. Histories and analyses of the famous tight pairings of popular music—Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Gilbert and Sullivan—will always have a head start in this project, in…

Multidisciplinary investigations at Stalag Luft III allied prisoner‐of‐war camp: The site of the 1944 “great escape,” Zagan, Western Poland
Stalag Luft III, situated in Zagan, Poland (formerly eastern Germany), was the site of a World War II Allied aviator prisoner of war (POW) camp famous for repeat escape attempts—notably the mass escape of 76 POWs in March 1944, shown in the 1963 film “The Great Escape.” The site has had little attention to date because it was within restricted military training grounds until 1992. This paper reports on attempts to locate the undiscovered “Dick” e…

Archaeology of a Great War Dugout: Beecham Farm, Passchendaele, Belgium
Beecham Dugout is situated on the lower slopes of the Passchendaele Ridge, to the north-east of the Belgian town of Ypres (Ieper). Fears over the stability of the structure created the need for emergency archaeological investigations. The dugout is shallow (2 m deep) and was constructed in a basic 'T' shape, with accommodation for 66 men and four officers. It is cut within silty-sand levels of the Passchendaele Ridge. The dug-out was surveyed, re…

Military Geography: Terrain Evaluation and the British Western Front 1914-1918
The Western Front was the most important theatre of war during the 1914-1918 world conflict. In particular, the Somme-Flanders lowland was not only of great strategic importance, but was also associated in Britain and its Empire with some of the most costly battles of the war. Battlefield terrain played an important part in determining the character and outcome of many of these engagements. The Somme region consists of a rolling chalk upland, whi…
From 'My Blue Heaven' to 'Race with the Devil: Echo, Reverb and (Dis)ordered Space in Early Popular Music Recording
With the dramatically improving fidelity of electric sound recording in the 1920s, aural spatiality - traces of room ambience and reverberation - became a factor in record production. Drawing on prior radio broadcast practice, a split occurred whereby 'fine' orchestral musics were recorded with relatively high levels of ambient or atmospheric sound while dance music, popular songs, humorous recitations and other 'low' forms were generally recorde…

Birth Intervals, Survival and Growth in a Nigerian Village
Results are presented from an analysis of the intervals between births from Imesi, Western Nigeria. The mean interval following births of children who survived to 1 year was 35·03 months, but nearly half this value at 18·8 months following stillbirths or deaths under 1 year. Both these results confirm an early study done in the village (Martin, Morley & Woodland, 1964), and the role of post-partum sexual abstention as an explanation for these res…

Bishop Gosse of Liverpool (1865–1872) and the importance of being English
The papal bull Universalis Ecclesiae of 1850 set up a hierarchy of bishops with ordinary power to replace the vicars apostolic who had ruled the catholic church in England since 1688. It stated explicitly that the new bishops were to have all the necessary powers to rule their dioceses in the same way as titular bishops elsewhere, and it spoke clearly about the resumption of the ‘common law of the church’ in England. Yet the commitment of the Rom…

Pope Pius IX and Religious Freedom
The liberal outcry occasioned by the publication of the Syllabus of Errors in 1864 concerned in large part the apparent condemnation by Pius IX of religious liberty and freedom of conscience. Lord John Russell quoted practice in Mexico to show that the Pope meant that Roman Catholicism should be maintained to the exclusion of every other form of worship, while the Saturday Review argued that Pius had defended the duty of the Church and the State …
The Education and Training of Roman Catholic Priests in Nineteenth-Century England
Faced with the problem of ministering to the pastoral needs of a rapidly expanding Catholic population, the restored English hierarchy naturally turned its attention to the training of candidates for the priesthood. The immediate problem after 1850 was to devise a constitution for the three existing colleges or seminaries, and it is to this issue that historians have given most attention. Of greater importance, however, were the ideals and standa…
The Catholic Federation 1906–1929
Bishop Casartelli of Salford wrote in his diary for 13 October 1906, ‘Deo Grattas ! The magnificent Catholic Demonstration ... organised by our new Catholic Federation, has been a wonderful success ... 40,000 or more from every part of the Diocese. Extraordinary enthusiasm.’ His joy was understandable, for the Catholic Federation had been founded only a few months before. The aim had been to start something altogether different from the many spec…
Pastoral Perfection: Cardinal Manning and the Secular Clergy
Towards the end of his life Cardinal Manning made some notes on what he called, ‘Hindrances to the Spread of Catholicism in England’. High on his list was the state of the English diocesan clergy: they were, he felt, neither cultured nor ‘civil’, in that they were unprepared to play a part in public life and did not understand English institutions and the outlook of the educated Englishman. One might in passing wonder how the Cardinal squared thi…

The study of reproductive outcome and the health of offspring of UK veterans of the Gulf war: Methods and description of the study population
This survey enabled collection of information on a range of reproductive outcomes from veterans of the Gulf war and a suitably matched comparison cohort. Although the response rate for men was disappointing, selection bias related to reproduction does not appear to be strong in these data
Self-reported ill health in male UK Gulf War veterans: A retrospective cohort study
Increased levels of reported ill health among GWV were confirmed. This study was the first to use a questionnaire which did not focus specifically on the veterans' symptoms themselves. Nevertheless, the results are consistent with those of other studies of post-Gulf war illness and thus strengthen overall findings in this area of research. Further examination of the mechanisms underlying the reporting of ill health is required
The National Women's Health Study: Assembly and description of a population-based reproductive cohort
