A community-based participatory research approach to co-designing youth mental health service improvements: A case study from Southern England
Objectives: Existing youth mental health services are unable to meet a rising demand for care. Changes are required to align care with young people’s needs and priorities. In this paper, we present a case study examining the developmental stages of a community-based participatory research project in which young people and professional stakeholders co-designed a youth mental health service blueprint in Southern England. Methods: We took a reflexiv…
The impact of Patient and Public Involvement in the SlowMo study: Reflections on peer innovation
BACKGROUND: The SlowMo study demonstrated the effects of SlowMo, an eight-session digitally supported reasoning intervention, on paranoia in a large-scale randomized-controlled trial with 362 participants with schizophrenia-spectrum psychosis. AIM: The current evaluation aimed to investigate the impact of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in the SlowMo study. METHOD: PPI members were six women and three men from Sussex, Oxford and London with …
A traditional protestant church experiencing substantial membership decline: An organizational strength analysis and observations to attend or leave the institution
Purpose This organizational climate empirical case study involves a religious organization in the United States of America, which has experienced a substantial decline in membership and weekly service participation numbers over the previous five years. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to reveal motivating factors that drive parishioners to leave or stay within a traditional protestant congregation and to uncover the strengths and wea…
Perceptual biases and metacognition and their association with anomalous self experiences in first episode psychosis
Three-Year Follow-Up Study Exploring Metacognition and Function in Individuals With First Episode Psychosis
Introduction: Research has demonstrated that functional outcome in psychosis is predicted by factors such as neurocognition, functional capacity, symptoms and, more recently, metacognition. Metacognitive ability has been demonstrated to mediate between neurocognition and functional outcome in First Episode Psychosis (FEP). Whether metacognition also predicts longer-term recovery in first episode psychosis is unknown. This study assessed whether n…
Matthew Worley. No Future: Punk, Politics and British Youth Culture, 1976–1984
On both sides of the Atlantic, punk is now attracting important scholarly attention—and British punk in particular. David Simonelli, Matthew Worley, Keith Gildart, and others have written thoughtful articles on the punk movement and class (Simonelli), punk fanzines (Worley), and the Sex Pistols’ Anarchy Tour of 1976—which was largely aborted (Gildart). Of all of these scholars, Worley has been the most systematic in his exploration of punk, probi…
The effects of improving sleep on mental health (Oasis): A randomised controlled trial with mediation analysis
BACKGROUND: Sleep difficulties might be a contributory causal factor in the occurrence of mental health problems. If this is true, improving sleep should benefit psychological health. We aimed to determine whether treating insomnia leads to a reduction in paranoia and hallucinations. METHODS: We did this single-blind, randomised controlled trial (OASIS) at 26 UK universities. University students with insomnia were randomly assigned (1:1) with sim…

The Great British Dream Factory: The Strange History of Our National Imagination, by Dominic Sandbrook
Dominic Sandbrook’s new volume is a compelling read. He is a zeitgeist historian who recoils at gross media myths about the British cultural past—and, for this book, seems to have been stirred by Danny Boyle’s take on Britain’s cultural heritage which opened the 2012 Olympics. Boyle, who hails from Lancashire, placed the Industrial Revolution at the core of British identity, and this in itself was quite a subversive take on modern British history…
Systemic air embolism complicating upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: A case report with post-mortem CT scan findings and review of literature
Endoscopy of the gastrointestinal and biliary tract is a common procedure and is routinely performed for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Perforation, bleeding and infection are some of the more common reported side effects. Air embolism on the other hand, is a rare complication of gastrointestinal endoscopy. We report a 77-year-old African-American female with a history of pancreatic cancer, which was resected with a Whipple procedure. As pa…
Air quality and climate change: Designing new win-win policies for Europe
Young People and the Shaping of Public Space in Melbourne, 1870–1914, by Simon Sleight
Urban historians, particularly those writing on nineteenth-century British cities, have been exploring the concept of ‘public space’ for two decades now. One thinks of the work of Simon Gunn and James Vernon, for example. Simon Sleight is the first historian to do so in relation to the history of youth culture; though, of course, histories of urban gangs by authors such as Stephen Humphries and Andrew Davies have much to say about territorial con…

The Working Class in Mid-Twentieth-Century England: Community, Identity and Social Memory, by Ben JonesWorking-Class Suburb: Social Change on an English Council Estate, 1930–2010. by Mark Clapson
At first sight, monographs about the ‘working class’ in twentieth-century England can seem quaint: rooted in a pre-Thatcher age of History Workshop conferences at Ruskin College and in once-pioneering but now passé ‘history from below’ courses at the new campus universities of the ʼ60s and ʼ70s. The very term ‘working class’ is itself evocative of symbolic episodes in recent history such as ‘Scargill’s Strike’ of 1984–5. These two volumes, both f…

Smoking Typewriters: The Sixties Underground Press and the Rise of Alternative Media in America, by John McMillian
Student cultures are taken far more seriously by American historians than by British historians. In the United States students are seen as active agents in history; as creators and shapers of cultural change. In British historiography they are largely ignored as somehow existing outside the social structure. Working-class adolescents and youth movements, such as the Boy Scouts, have received far more scholarly attention in Britain than, say, the …
The global nitrogen cycle in the twenty-first century
Global nitrogen fixation contributes 413 Tg of reactive nitrogen (N r ) to terrestrial and marine ecosystems annually of which anthropogenic activities are responsible for half, 210 Tg N. The majority of the transformations of anthropogenic N r are on land (240 Tg N yr −1 ) within soils and vegetation where reduced N r contributes most of the input through the use of fertilizer nitrogen in agriculture. Leakages from the use of fertilizer N r cont…
Talkin’ ‘bout my generation”: Conflicts of generation building and Europe’s “1968”
Being Boys: Youth, Leisure and Identity in the Inter-War Years, by Melanie Tebbutt
British social history is in a transitional phase at present. No longer, as in the 1970s and 1980s, a radical discipline brimming with innovative and wide-ranging scholarship on, for example, the role of music hall in late nineteenth century British imperialism; the historical significance of apprentices’ strikes of the 1930s, or spending and saving in the context of working-class life and culture, 1870–1939, it is now a hybrid form; less concern…
Simultaneously Mitigating Near-Term Climate Change and Improving Human Health and Food Security
Why Wait? Tropospheric ozone can be dangerous to human health, can be harmful to vegetation, and is a major contributor to climate warming. Black carbon also has significant negative effects on health and air quality and causes warming of the atmosphere. Shindell et al. (p. 183 ) present results of an analysis of emissions, atmospheric processes, and impacts for each of these pollutants. Seven measures were identified that, if rapidly implemented…

It is diffi cult to know how to engage with this book.Th e author attempts to reinterpret the history of working-class culture, defi ned almost exclusively as the use of leisure, over a vast period stretching from mid-Victorian Britain to the end of the Second World War.Th e period in question involves so many phases and transformations in working-class experience that it seems just too ambitious a task for a single historian in a single volume.T…

Nonlinearities in Source Receptor Relationships for Sulfur and Nitrogen Compounds
The relationship between emissions and deposition of air pollutants, both spatially and in time forms an important focus for science and for policy makers. In practice, this relationship may become nonlinear if the underlying processes change with time, or in space. Nonlinearities may also appear due to errors in emission or deposition data, and careful scrutiny of both data sources and their relationship provides a means of picking up such defic…

A cognitive model of the positive symptoms of psychosis
In the last 10 years a consensus has developed that the symptoms of psychosis may be better understood by linking the steps between the phenomenological experiences and social, psychological and neurobiological levels of explanation. Cognitive models of psychosis are an important link in this chain. They provide a psychological description of the phenomena from which hypotheses concerning causal processes can be derived and tested; social, indivi…

Boykoff and Mansfield (2008), in a recent paper in this journal, provide a detailed analysis of the representation of climate change in the UK tabloid newspapers.

That is, portrayal of climate change in tabloid newspapers contradicts the conclusions of the fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate …
