Determining the Effectiveness of Interventions for the Reduction of Child Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution at Schools in England
Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is a significant risk to human health and is particularly damaging to children as a vulnerable group. TRAP exposure near schools and on the school commute is linked to a growing number of adverse health effects, including respiratory and cardiovascular disease and can lead to (and exacerbate existing) respiratory conditions. The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of interventions for the reduction…

Enhancing Local Air Quality Management to maximise public health integration, collaboration and impact in Wales, UK: A Delphi study
Psychological morbidity and health-related quality of life after injury: Multicentre cohort study
Hospitalised injuries result in substantial reductions in HRQoL up to 12 months later. Depression and anxiety early in the recovery period are independently associated with lower HRQoL. Identifying and managing these problems, ensuring adequate pain control and facilitating social functioning are key elements in improving HRQoL post-injury
Mapping household direct energy consumption in the United Kingdom to provide a new perspective on energy justice
Targets for reductions in carbon emissions and energy use are often framed solely in terms of percentage reductions. However, the amount of energy used by households varies greatly, with some using considerably more than others and, therefore, potentially being able to make a bigger contribution towards overall reductions. Using two recently released UK datasets based on combined readings from over 70 million domestic energy meters and vehicle od…
Supporting a Design Driven Approach to Social Inclusion and Accessibility in Transport
This paper presents research into the area of public transport and accessibility, addressing the support of practitioners in achieving socially inclusive solutions to the mobility issues of diverse populations. For decades, social policy has been underpinned by a stereotyping of populations into simplified sub groups: old, young, disabled, etc. and thus solutions often fail to properly address the richness of human variability. These shortcomings…

The impact of injuries study. multicentre study assessing physical, psychological, social and occupational functioning post injury - a protocol
This study will quantify physical, psychological, social and occupational functioning and health and social care utilisation following a range of different types of injury and will assess the impact of psychological disorders on function and health service use. The findings will be used to guide the development of interventions to maximise recovery post injury
Housing conditions, sanitation status and associated health risks in selected subsidized low-cost housing settlements in Cape Town, South Africa
Contribution of Water Pollution From Inadequate Sanitation and Housing Quality to Diarrheal Disease in Low-Cost Housing Settlements of Cape Town, South Africa
Objectives. We investigated the effects of failing sanitation, poor housing conditions, and fecal pollution in runoff water on the health—particularly the incidence of diarrheal disease—of residents of low-cost housing settlements in Cape Town, South Africa. Methods. In November 2009, we conducted a cross-sectional survey with structured interviews in 4 communities (n = 336 dwellings; 1080 persons). We used Colilert defined-substrate technology t…
Living in Low-Cost Housing Settlements in Cape Town, South Africa—The Epidemiological Characteristics Associated with Increased Health Vulnerability
Anticipation of Retirement Among Baby Boomers
A total of 32 interviews were conducted with women in academia who were born between 1946 and 1964. Twenty-one of these interviews were completed with academic women in the United States. and eleven with academic women in New Zealand. The data were analyzed to determine what these "baby boomers" anticipate for their retirement as well as their concerns about facing retirement. Cohort and cross-cultural comparisons were made. The authors identifie…

Life and death: Material civilisation and mental attitudes
As early as the second century bc, keeping Rome supplied with food had been a thorny problem. Its population was large, and neither Latium nor the neighbouring regions of Italy could by themselves provide for its enormous daily needs. The chief food consumer in the Roman world, the city thus received, during the ‘open sea’ months between April and October, supply convoys organised by the state to offset the inadequacy of private commerce in satis…
Murder followed by suicide in Australia, 1973-1992: A Research Note
This paper reports the findings of a study of murder-suicide in Australia. The study is based on the analysis of 188 events in four states of Australia spread over a period of 20 years from 1973 to 1992. This paper focuses on two types of murder-suicide-those events in which a male offender kills his female partner and those events in which a parent kills his or her child or children. The motivations of men and women who commit murder and then ki…
