Understanding covid-19 outcomes among people with intellectual disabilities in England
People with ID should be considered a priority group in future pandemics, such as shielding and vaccinations
Age within schoolyear and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in Scotland and Wales
Children younger within schoolyear are more likely to be treated for ADHD, suggesting immaturity may influence diagnosis. However, these children are more likely to be held back in countries that permit flexibility, attenuating the relative age effect
The Polish Government-in-Exile
The author discusses the engagement of the Polish Government-in-Exile with the issue of German war crimes and its involvement with the United Nations War Crimes Commission during the Second World War. Information sent by the Polish Underground State allowed the Polish War Crimes Office to compile its charge file submissions for the UNWCC in a strategic and organized manner. According to the author, the War Crimes Office attempted to ensure that G…
Messengers of Disaster
Messengers of Disaster, first published in French in 2018, positions Raphael Lemkin, the author of the neologism ‘genocide’, and Jan Karski, who served the Polish Government in Exile, as among a ‘handful of men [who] recognized the specificity of the extermination of Jews amid the chaos of World War II’ (p. 3). One a Polish Jew, the other a Polish Catholic, who, according to the author, ‘took on the task of transmitting what they knew about perse…
Covid-19 infection and outcomes in a population-based cohort of 17 203 adults with intellectual disabilities compared with the general population
BACKGROUND: Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) may be at higher risk of COVID-19 death. We compared COVID-19 infection, severe infection, mortality, case fatality and excess deaths, among adults with, and without, ID. METHODS: Adults with ID in Scotland's Census, 2011, and a 5% sample of other adults, were linked to COVID-19 test results, hospitalisation data and deaths (24 January 2020-15 August 2020). We report crude rates of COVID-19 i…
The reassertion of the elusiveness narrative
The contention that the true function of Auschwitz was unknown in the West until the arrival of the Vrba/Wetzler report in June 1944 has been repeatedly discredited by corrective scholarship. Nevertheless, the narrative that Auschwitz was elusive continues to be circulated, most recently in Oxford Films' ‘docudrama’ 1944: Should we bomb Auschwitz? This article offers an overview of scholarship on Allied knowledge of Auschwitz in order to critique…
Educational and health outcomes of children and adolescents receiving antiepileptic medication
Children on antiepileptic medication fare worse than peers across educational and health outcomes. In order to reduce school absenteeism and mitigate its effects, children with epilepsy should receive integrated care from a multidisciplinary team that spans education and healthcare
If the Walls Could Speak
The Limits of Solidarity
During the Second World War, news about the German persecution and mass murder of Europe’s Jews was received in Britain. The Bund Report of May 1942 stated that the occupying Germans had murdered 700,000 Polish Jews. Its receipt in Britain precipitated a (temporary) shift in how news of the Holocaust was reported. In late June and early July 1942, British newspapers published reports detailing German atrocities against Jews and, on 9 July 1942, t…

Christian Gerlach. The Extermination of the European Jews
Christian Gerlach has written extensively about the persecution of Jews during the period of National Socialism and about extremely violent societies in the twentieth century. The Extermination of the European Jews is part of Cambridge University Press’s New Approaches to European History textbook series, and it offers a broad readership, including experts in the field, an engaging account of how the Holocaust developed in different places and ov…
A reconsideration of the revolt at Sobibór
This article offers a reconsideration of the 14 October 1943 revolt at Sobibór. It problematizes the notion of an escape "committee" led by Leon Felhendler and highlights how gender and nationality were entangled in both the planning and in the carrying out of the revolt. It is argued that the dominant conceptualization of the escape committee marginalizes the role played by women within the resistance in Sobibór. It is also contended that the sm…
Geographies of obligation and the dissemination of news of the Holocaust
This article problematizes the relationship between spatial proximity and social distance to sharpen understanding of contemporary responses to the Holocaust. It examines how information about the Holocaust was sent west by the Polish Underground, shows how this information was disseminated in Britain, and explores the relationship between Western reactions to news of the Holocaust and responses in Poland. The article considers the varied “geogra…
British Narratives of the Holocaust in Hungary
This article examines how news of German atrocities against Jews was narrated to different audiences through the offices of the Political Warfare Executive (PWE), the Political Intelligence Department and, from April 1943, the Foreign Office Research Department (FORD). It focuses on how news about Hungarian Jews was presented to different audiences by the PWE and FORD in the spring and early summer of 1944. The article contends that the repeated …

Dan Stone. The Liberation of the Camps
Dan Stone is the author of several well-received books on the Holocaust. In The Liberation of the Camps: The End of the Holocaust and Its Aftermath, Stone turns his attention to the process of liberation. This book makes three important contributions to our understandings of liberation. First, it problematizes the popular image of liberation from the Nazi concentration camps and offers a timely corrective. Drawing on a range of survivor testimoni…
Intelligence from Poland on Chełmno
During the late spring and early summer of 1942, reports sent by the Polish Underground on the gassing of Jews at Chełmno reached London. This article examines how these reports were responded to in Britain. It explores the significance of a withdrawn September 1942 parliamentary question on Chełmno tabled by Geoffrey Mander, and argues that the response of the British Foreign Office to news of Chełmno offers insight into how news of the Holocaus…

Auschwitz, the Allies and Censorship of the Holocaust
What was the extent of allied knowledge regarding the mass murder of Jews at Auschwitz during the Second World War? The question is one which continues to prompt heated historical debate, and Michael Fleming's important new book offers a definitive account of just how much the Allies knew. By tracking Polish and other reports about Auschwitz from their source, and surveying how knowledge was gathered, controlled and distributed to different audie…
Informing the ‘early years’ agenda in Scotland
BACKGROUND: Providing infants with the 'best possible start in life' is a priority for the Scottish Government. This is reflected in policy and health promotion strategies to increase breast feeding, which gives the best source of nutrients for healthy infant growth and development. However, the rate of breast feeding in Scotland remains one of the lowest in Europe. Information is needed to provide a better understanding of infant feeding and its…

The new minority rights regime in Poland
In the post–communist period national minorities have returned to the international agenda. For Poland, as for other applicants to the European Union, the treatment of national minorities is proving to be a litmus test for accession. In this article I argue that national minorities have benefited from the new minority rights regime, but I show that each minority’s ability to voice its concerns and develop its community is predicated upon the accu…
Acculturation and Cigarette Smoking Among Pregnant Hispanic Women Residing in the United States
Objectives. We explored whether higher levels of acculturation were associated with higher rates of cigarette smoking among pregnant Hispanic women residing in the United States. Methods. We evaluated data from the Latina Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Study, a prospective study of 1231 Hispanic prenatal care patients conducted from 2000 to 2004 in Massachusetts. Self-reported data on acculturation, cigarette smoking, and covariates were collected…
Lesbian/Feminist Orientation Among Male-to-Female Transsexuals
Autobiographical case studies of two male-to-female transsexuals reveal a pattern of strong female identity couples with lesbian sexual-affectional preference and feminist value orientation. For both informants there is evidence of social concern and activism from an early age, which led them to perceive their gender dilemmas in a political as well as personal way. This case material challenge the notion that transsexuals are necessarily "sexualy…
Familiarising the Stranger
As contact between cultures continues to increase, the impact that this has on cultural identity and belonging is unclear. Cross-cultural or bicultural identification remains a relatively unexplored phenomenon. Is it possible, natural or potentially good to have an identity rooted in more than one culture? If so, how is cross-cultural identity negotiated? Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with nine women who have lived as immigrants in t…

Legitimating Urban “Revitalisation” Strategies in Post-socialist Łódź
The city of Łódź in central Poland has witnessed de-industrialisation and urban decay. Often tagged the Polish Manchester on account of its former prominence in textiles, the city has struggled to reinvigorate itself in the post-socialist period. Focusing on the post-1999 period, this paper examines how narratives of “Europeanisation” and “multiculturalism” have been promoted to legitimate current efforts to regenerate the city. It is argued that…

The Regime of Violence in Socialist and Postsocialist Poland
This article seeks to contribute to the geographical debate about the nature of violence in socialist and postsocialist Poland. It responds to Bradshaw and Stenning's (2004) call to account for the uniqueness of postsocialism. By comparing "regimes of violence," which characterize particular socioeconomic formations, a clearer conception of postsocialism can emerge, showing how different configurations of violence have dominated the socialist and…

The dyadic adjustment of female-to-male transsexuals
Dyadic adjustment, sexual activities, and marital stability in the relationships of female-to-male transsexuals and their spouses were examined. Participants were 22 female-to-male transsexuals who had undergone some form of surgery to alter their anatomical sex, their spouses, and a control group of married or cohabitating nontranssexual men and women. Participants were administered the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and additional items to assess quan…

Seeking labour's aristocracy? The ‘Westphalian incident’ and Polish nationality policy in the immediate aftermath of war
In the immediate aftermath of World War II the Polish state placed a high value on national homogeneity. The Polish Committee of National Liberation signed population exchange agreements with its socialist neighbours in September 1944 and expelled the German population who remained within the new Polish borders. Far less frequently discussed are the Polish state's efforts to persuade ‘Poles’ in Western Europe to move to Poland. This paper analyse…

Use of Animal and opposite Drawings in Assessment of Gender Identity of Young Adults
The results of an analysis of responses to the Animal and Opposite Drawing Technique are presented for 134 male and female college students matched on age and education. The majority of both men and women drew same-sexed animals first, and just over half drew second animals which they identified as being of the opposite sex of their first drawings. Implications for the use of this technique to assess an individual's gender identity and other prom…

Freud's "project" and its relationship to psychoanalytic theory
Sigmund Freud wrote the "Project for a Scientific Psychology" in 1895. Although the "Project" is essential a neurological model of mind, it will be shown that major concepts in psychoanalytic theory can be traced to this work. These include libido, primary process and the pleasure principle, secondary process and the reality principle, wish fulfillment, the ego, consciousness, and repression. The "Project" signifies a transition in Freud's thinki…

Wittgenstein and the Teaching of Drama
This article introduces the concept of an ‘integrated’ approach to the teaching of drama as a means of identifying the valuable legacy of Drama in Education. The current emphasis on an ‘inclusive’ approach to drama teaching (which accepts the value of different methods of working such as improvisation, performance, use of text) is not in itself an adequate formulation because it obscures important differences in approach. The writing of Wittgenst…
Misrepresentation and Non-conceptual Content
Une thèse sous-jacente au présent article est que la reconnaissance de notre capacité à mal représenter le monde devrait jouer un rôle significatif dans les explications de la genèse de la connaissance empirique. Je recours à cette contrainte explicative pour évaluer le tableau proposé par John McDowell dans Mind and World et, en particulier, ses arguments contre l'idée que le contenu de l'expérience est non conceptuel.

The Limits of the German Minority Project in Post-communist Poland
This paper explores the development of the German minority community in Postcommunist Poland, focusing specifically upon the Opole Silesia voivodship. I argue that the minority's successful engagement within democratic fora at all spatial scales allowed the minority to voice its concerns and secure funds to develop its community infrastructure. However, as the 1990s progressed, the minority's ability to manipulate a politics of scale declined as …
Validity of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test in College Students
Background: High‐risk alcohol use among college students is associated with accidents, partner violence, unwanted sexual encounters, tobacco use, and performance issues. The identification and treatment of high‐risk drinking students is a priority for many college campuses and college health centers. The goal of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in college students. Methods…

The 2005 Parliamentary and Presidential Elections in Poland
This article analyses the 2005 parliamentary and presidential elections in Poland. Using Sartre's polemical essay “Elections: A trap for fools” as a foil, I contend that the contemporary practice of representative democracy in Poland fails to engage the electorate and functions to mediate the systemic exclusions produced by post-Socialist neoliberalism. The article explores the elections’ dual nature by analysing the electoral geography of two ar…
