Self-care for the long haul
Social work is an emotionally taxing field. Many students find themselves entering the profession of social work already burnt out. In order to address these concerns, self-care knowledge, values, and skills need to be integrated into the social work classroom early and routinely. This study utilized a fixed, convergent mixed methods design to determine how a semester-long reflective journaling assignment focused on burnout prevention, self-care,…
Sean O'Casey in Context
Sean O'Casey is one of Ireland's best-known writers. He is the most frequently performed playwright in the history of the Irish National Theatre, and his work is often revived onstage elsewhere. O'Casey is also widely studied in schools, colleges, and universities in the English-speaking world. This book offers a new contextualisation of this famous writer's work, revisiting his association with Irish nationalism, historical revisionism, and cele…

Scalar Modifiers of Quantifier Phrases
This paper analyzes the syntax and compositional semantics of scalar modifiers of quantifier phrases in expressions like almost every student, absolutely every student and nowhere near every student. The semantics is based on scales (positive and negative) of generalized quantifiers

Greek and English passives, and the role of by -phrases
This paper proposes an analysis in which passive by-phrases are merged as the arguments of the active with the corresponding theta roles (Hasegawa 1988; D’Hulst 1992; Mahajan 1994; Goodall 1997; 1999; Caha 2009; Collins 2018a; Roberts 2019; Karlík 2020 and Hallman 2020). The analysis finds support in new data from Greek and English showing that, just like the DP arguments of the active, by-phrases bear the same range of theta roles and can bind a…

OP56 Differential Effects of Smoking Cessation During Pregnancy on Birth Weight in a Cohort of Disadvantaged Women
Background Smoking during pregnancy is recognized as the most important preventable risk factor. Maternal smoking accounts for 20–30% of low birth weight infants (<2,500g), the most common adverse outcome in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of maternal smoking habits: stopping smoking in the first and second trimesters, continuing to smoke, number of cigarettes smoked and socio-demographic factors on infant birth …
P1-27 Effectiveness of training in motivational interviewing in quitting or reducing smoking intensity in pregnancy and post-partum
Introduction This study aimed to determine whether an integrated approach, involving training of professional staff in maternity and child health services to deliver sustained brief intervention using Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques in a standardised way, was sufficient to affect change in smoking status or intensity in low-income pregnant and post-partum women. Methods 500 consecutive smokers were recruited at the first ante-natal visi…
Effectiveness of training in motivational interviewing in influencing smoking cessation in pregnant and postpartum women in lower socio-economic groups
Objective To determine whether an integrated approach, involving staff training in in brief intervention using Motivational Interviewing techniques in a standardised way, was sufficient to affect change in smoking status or intensity in low-income pregnant and postpartum women. Setting A large city centre Dublin maternity hospital Participants 1000 women who were smokers at time of pregnancy Design The study used a historical cohort design. 500 c…
Building Bridges in Liverpool
There is little national or international research that examines how Family Group Conferences (FGCs) are being used with, or viewed by, black and minority ethnic (BME) children and families. This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a FGC project by Building Bridges, a service commissioned to address the psychological and mental health needs of BME children and their families in Liverpool (UK). The evaluation uses both quantitativ…
The preference effect in an unblinded health promotion intervention trial
Discussion: Lower autonomy and greater risk-taking found among teenagers with same-sex partners echo the findings of research elsewhere (mainly the US).Further research on underlying psychosocial factors is required
Prevalence and correlates of HIV testing in a multi-site sample of young men who have sex with men
This study assessed HIV testing among 2,621 urban young men who have sex with men (YMSM). Of these, 77% were men of colour, 30% reported recent unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), 22% had never tested for HIV and 71% had not tested recently. Ever testing was associated with older age (OR=1.28), being employed (OR=1.34), exposure to more types of HIV preventions (linear trend p=0.02), sex with a main partner (OR=1.92), sex with a non-main partner …
Tobacco use among US racial/ethnic minority groups. A report of the Surgeon General, 1998Executive Summary
released the 1998 Surgeon General's report on smoking and health. This is the 24th report of the Surgeon General on smoking and health, and the first to focus exclusively on tobacco use and tobacco control needs among racial/ethnic minority groups
HIV Vaccine Research and Human Rights
The protection of human rights will be critical to the success of HIV vaccine trials throughout the world. A vaccine for HIV remains our best hope to control the global epidemic. In order to launch and sustain useful and successful human trials of HIV vaccines, a partnership between scientists, governments, pharmaceutical companies, and affected communities is essential. This article provides a review of some of the key issues relevant to human r…
Bacteriological survey of tuberculous lymphadenitis in South-east England
During the eight years 1973-80 the Public Health Laboratory Service Regional Centre for Tuberculosis Bacteriology received cultures of mycobacteria from 2339 patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis. Of these, 2272 were M tuberculosis (2207 human and 65 bovine strains) and 67 were other mycobacterial species, usually M avium and its intracellulare variant. Disease due to the human strains of M tuberculosis occurred most often in young women of Asi…
