‘‘There's no quick fix!’’ Factors influencing rapid weight loss practices in Irish horseracing and the potential scope for change
Despite safe methods of weight management being reported, adverse rapid weight loss (RWL) practices persist in horseracing. The aims of this study were to understand the factors that influence persistent RWL to ultimately develop potential solutions to ameliorate the associated issues. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 participants representing relevant sectors of the Irish horseracing industry (jockeys n = 15; trainers/owners/bre…
Being alongside
This is the editors' introduction to a group of three articles on collaborative public history: history that is made with and by, as well as for, a range of public and community actors.We focus on collaboration with members of the public and community groups rather than institutions or people who are working in a professional capacity.In this introduction, we use Saima Nasar and Gavin Schaffer's notion of being 'alongside' to describe their posit…
How Men Valued Women's Work
This article examines men's valuing of women's work in the post-1945 period. It considers men's perspectives on female labour in and outside the home in the context of women's wartime work, the increase in married women working and the greater involvement of men in family life. I argue that men saw their wives’ and partners’ work as of lesser value than their own, in various ways, even if the money women's paid work brought in could significantly…

We Are What We Keep
What do our possessions say about us? More specifically what do they say about our past, present and our future? Many families possess a “family archive”; documents, photographs, heirlooms, scrapbooks, recipes and a whole range of other items that “reveal insights” into past generations, and preserve family stories. They may never have thought of these assemblages as “archives”, but by retaining and preserving possessions these items mold a sense…
Men, Masculinities and Religious Change in Twentieth-Century Britain. By Lucy Delap and Sue Morgan.
Rethinking the evaluation and measurement of health in all policies
Current international attention to Health in all policies (HiAP) has its origins in a more sophisticated understanding of the impact of public policies on health, and a recognition that policies across government have an impact on the social and environmental determinants of health and related inequalities in health. As an emerging field, there has been limited attention focused on comprehensive approaches to the evaluation of HiAP to date, and t…
'Translational formative evaluation'
The process of generating evidence-based public health interventions is understood to include steps that define the issue, generate and test solutions in controlled settings, replicate and then disseminate more widely. However, to date models have not considered the types and scale of formative evaluation tasks that are needed to up-scale interventions, from efficacy to population-wide dissemination in the real world. In this paper, we propose th…
The concept of scalability
Increased focus on prevention presents health promoters with new opportunities and challenges. In this context, the study of factors influencing policy-maker decisions to scale up health promotion interventions from small projects or controlled trials to wider state, national or international roll-out is increasingly important. This study aimed to: (i) examine the perspectives of senior researchers and policy-makers regarding concepts of 'scaling…
Now You See a Great Many Men Pushing their Pram Proudly’
The image of a man pushing a pram could provoke much controversy in mid-twentieth-century Britain. Many contemporary commentators argued men should be and were pushing their child in a pram with pride, yet others felt this compromised manliness. The article explores this image to analyse the relationship between fatherhood and masculinity, and between cultural norms and social practice in this period. It argues that this image was used to symboli…
Hidden Fathers? The Significance of Fatherhood in Mid-Twentieth-Century Britain
This article argues that fatherhood was invested with a greater significance in mid-twentieth-century Britain than has previously been recognised. It assesses the current historiographical focus on motherhood, marriage and the home, suggesting that fathers have been lost in these debates. Evidence from the press and social research is used to investigate the ‘intensification’ of fatherhood alongside motherhood in this period. The article examines…
Gender, Subjectivity and Oral History, University of Warwick, 24 November 2011
The question of how subjective identities are composed in the oral-history interview has been the focus of much recent scholarship. This one-day conference of the Warwick Oral History Network, organized by Angela Davis (Department of History, University of Warwick) and Andrea Hajek (Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick), aimed to reflect upon the current status of the field and address the challenges of the future. Themes considered…
Consumer testing of the acceptability and effectiveness of front-of-pack food labelling systems for the Australian grocery market
The placement of nutrition information on the front of food packages has been proposed as a method of providing simplified and visible nutrition information. This study aimed to determine the most acceptable and effective front-of-pack food labelling system for Australian consumers. Consumers' preferences and ability to compare the healthiness of mock food products were assessed for different front-of-pack labelling systems. Four systems were tes…
Persuasive food marketing to children
While there is a recognized link between high levels of exposure to advertising of unhealthy foods and overweight and obesity among children, there is little research on the extent to which these exposures include persuasive marketing techniques. This study aimed to measure children's exposure to the use of persuasive marketing within television food advertisements. Advertisements broadcast on all three commercial Australian television channels w…
Understanding privatisation’s impacts on health
If privatisation ever had a significant impact on health, it would show up in the former Soviet Union. Compare Margaret Thatcher the “Great Privatiser”, who privatized roughly 30 state-owned companies during her 11-year tenure, to Boris Yeltsin’s regime, which under the guidance of Jeffrey Sachs and World Bank economists,1–3 privatised over 15 000 large state-owned companies in less than 2 years. Such an episode of privatisation as that seen in R…
The Pace monitoring strategy
Pressures on the UK Voluntary Sport Sector
This paper uses research from two projects, conducted for Sport England and for the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR), to analyze pressures on volunteers in sport in the United Kingdom (UK). Both research projects were contract research, conducted to inform policy and therefore were not designed to build on theoretical insights. However, from the results the research developed an understanding of the interrelated pressures on the volu…
Working Invisibly
A series of six focus groups was held with health promotion workers to explore the meaning and experience of ‘capacity-building’, a term which is used variously in the literature. The research is part of a participatory, practice-based project to develop outcome indicators in capacity-building. Capacity-building was defined as seeking to develop health promotion skills and resources, and also problem-solving capability, at five levels: the indivi…
Making Dissemination a Two-Way Process
Despite repeated expressions of concern, both academic researchers and programme delivery practitioners have neglected the dissemination of new knowledge about health promotion programmes. This has meant that effective programmes are often not implemented as widely as they could be and that health promotion programmes are not achieving their full potential. This paper analyses what has been written in the published literature about dissemination …

Utilization of former military medical corpsmen in the provision of jail health services
In an effort to improve the quality of health services within a large urban jail, former military medical corpsmen have been employed as an integral component of a jail health service. Medical corpsmen are responsible for the performance of intake medical evaluations, delivery of prescription medications, triage for physician sick call, and provision of elementary health services on the jail tiers. Utilization of medical corpsmen has been associa…

These particular empirical features of the coal distribution system do not appear to have been described elsewhere in the geographic literature.

Economic impulses in a regional system of cities
King L., Casetti E. and Jeffrey D. (1969) Economic impulses in a regional system of cities: A study of spatial interaction, Reg. Studies 3, 213–218. This paper presents a model of the transmission of economic impulses through a system of cities. A partial testing of the model is attempted with respect to unemployment rates recorded in thirty-three cities in the American Midwest over the period April 1960 to September 1964. City unemployment serie…
