Student perceptions of people and places in their school that are influential for mental health and emotional wellbeing, and implications for wellbeing policies in Wales
All age groups reflected similarly on the qualities of supportive adults and on the key role of peers. • School spaces that were most challenging were noisy, crowded and lacking supervision. • Tackling multiple aspects of the school environment together may support mental wellbeing. • Not all of aspects of school environment are equally amenable to change or under school control. There have been reported increases in mental health challenges amon…
Investigating methods of sharing data between police, health, education, and social services: Semi-structured interviews with police service areas in Wales
The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) requires the police, local authorities, NHS, and other organisations to share intelligence and collectively work to reduce violent crime. This paper aimed to explore opinions on linking police data with other agency data. Interviews were undertaken with individuals from police forces in Wales, UK. Barriers to sharing data with other organisations involve differences in the systems used to store police data and un…
Analysing change among study abroad students. A novel application of the person-centred approach to alcohol use patterns
Drinking beer, wine or spirits – does it matter for inequalities in alcohol-related hospital admission? A record-linked longitudinal study in Wales
Although consumption by beverage type was socioeconomically patterned, it did not help explain inequalities in alcohol-related harm. Smoking and BMI explained around a third of inequalities, but lower socioeconomic groups had a persistently higher risk of (multiple) ARHA. Comorbidities also explained a further proportion of inequalities and need further investigation, including the contribution of specific conditions. The increased harms from con…
Development and validation of a Multidimensional Motivations to Study Abroad Scale (MMSAS) among European Credit Mobility Students
I am going to make the most out of it! Italian university Credit Mobility Students' social representations of alcohol use during study abroad experiences
The aim was to explore shared representations of alcohol use in students who were to travel abroad to study. Focus group data from Italian students ( N = 69) were collected. Analyses used Grounded Theory Methodology and were informed by the four key components of Social Representation Theory (cognition, emotion, attitude and behavioural intentions). The study abroad experience was described as one that would involve an increase in alcohol consump…
Twenty years of social capital and health research: A glossary
Research on social capital in public health is approaching its 20th anniversary. Over this period, there have been rich and productive debates on the definition, measurement and importance of social capital for public health research and practice. As a result, the concepts and measures characterising social capital and health research have also evolved, often drawing from research in the social, political and behavioural sciences. The multidiscip…
Reassessing the Age, Sex and Metric Variation of Commingled Human Remains from a 1911 Excavation of a Neolithic Passage Tomb Complex in North-West Ireland: Age, Sex and Metric Variation of Human Bones…
The Neolithic passage tomb complex at Carrowkeel, County Sligo, Ireland, is one of the best preserved and most significant megalithic funerary and ritual landscapes in Europe. The most substantial archaeological excavations at the complex were undertaken in 1911, from which a relatively large sample of commingled unburnt and cremated human remains from seven chambered passage tombs was recovered. Although the archaeological value of this material…
Process evaluation of an environmental health risk audit and action plan intervention to reduce alcohol related violence in licensed premises
The study suggests that a collaborative approach to the development and diffusion of interventions is associated with high levels of organisational adoption, implementation and reach. However, the lack of enforcement visits represents implementation failure for a key mechanism of action that is likely to influence intervention effectiveness. To be effective, any future intervention may require a longer implementation period to develop EHP confide…
A rank based social norms model of how people judge their levels of drunkenness whilst intoxicated
Whilst intoxicated and in drinking environments, people base judgements regarding their drinking on how their level of intoxication ranks relative to that of others of the same gender around them, not on their actual levels of intoxication. Thus, when in the company of others who are intoxicated, drinkers were found to be more likely to underestimate their own level of drinking, drunkenness and associated risks. The implications of these results,…
Trends in violence in England and Wales 2010–2014
BACKGROUND: The National Violence Surveillance Network (NVSN) of emergency departments (ED), minor injuries units and walk-in-centres in England and Wales has brought clarity to contradictory violence trends derived from crime survey and police data. Gender, age-specific and regional trends in violence-related injury in England and Wales since 2010 have not been studied. METHODS: Data on violence-related injury were collected from a structured sa…

A feasibility study of short message service text messaging as a surveillance tool for alcohol consumption and vehicle for interventions in university students
The ubiquity of mobile telephones and the acceptability of text messaging suggests that this approach can be developed as a surveillance tool to collect high frequency consumption data to identify periods of vulnerability and that it can offer a platform through which targeted interventions can be delivered
OP44 Trends in Community Violence in England and Wales 2005-2009
Background Recognising the need for clarity in national violence trends, injury records from Emergency Departments (EDs) have been studied over the last decade as part of the work of the National Violence Surveillance Network (NVSN) and provide information about local, regional and national violence levels and trends in England and Wales. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate overall, gender, age-specific and regional trends in communit…

Money and Happiness: Rank of Income, Not Income, Affects Life Satisfaction
Does money buy happiness, or does happiness come indirectly from the higher rank in society that money brings? We tested a rank-income hypothesis, according to which people gain utility from the ranked position of their income within a comparison group. The rank hypothesis contrasts with traditional reference-income hypotheses, which suggest that utility from income depends on comparison to a social reference-group norm. We found that the ranked …

The Origins of Strategic Communication: Precedents and Parallels in Ancient States
When, where, and why did communication strategy originate? Global communication strategy is a present-day preoccupation, but ancient states were the first to manage messages over large distances and time periods. They did this to entrench a permanent, convincing identity that embodied political power. To achieve their goal other forms of power were exploited and expressed as organized communication including religion, armed force, and administrat…
Risk Factors for Violent Victimisation and Injury from Six Years of the British Crime Survey
Identifying factors that increase the likelihood of victimisation and injury reveals the considerable variability across groups and between incidents. It also allows the efficient allocation of prevention resources to protect those at greatest risk of harm. In this study, three statistical models were developed to identify risk factors for violent victimisation, violent injury and assault-related treatment at an Emergency Department (ED). The cro…
From Preferences to Experiences: Valuing the Intangible Victim Costs of Crime
An important part of the costs of crime are intangible victim costs; that is, the effects on individual well-being. Economists tend to value such costs by asking people what they would be willing to pay to avoid them (either in money terms or by giving up something else of value, like life expectancy). However, psychological research has shown that such preferences are not a very good guide to how various events impact on well-being. Recent devel…
Gender Specific Emotional Responses to Anticipated Crime
In this paper multivariate analyses are used to test two hypotheses specific to the assumption that women are more fearful of crime than men. First, national crime survey responses to a global fear of crime question were analysed to assess whether responses to global questions were biased towards particular crime types. Results show that non-specific global fear of crime questions elicit responses most associated with fear of physical harm - expl…
The Elements and Prevalence of Fear
In this paper, factor analysis and regression models are used to examine fear of crime and to determine the relationship between fear and age. Data from the British Crime Survey demonstrate that fear is reducible to only two crime contexts: fear of personal loss (FoPL) and fear of personal harm (FoPH). Distinctively different inverted u-shaped relationships were observed for both FoPL and FoPH, with maximum fear at 45 years of age and 23 years of…
The Relationship Between Psychological Well-Being and Adjustment of Both Parents and Children of Exiled and Traumatized Iraqi Refugees
Research involving both children's problems and those of their parents who experienced displacement, war, civil strife, and multiple traumas or distress while living in unfamiliar environments (dissimilar host culture) is extremely limited. This study has examined the relationship between psychological well-being and adjustment (in the host culture) of samples of both parents and children of exiled and traumatized Iraqi refugees in London. Partic…
Lost in translation: A genealogy of the “social capital” concept in public health
Study objective: To examine the genealogy of the social capital concept in public health, with attention to the epistemological concerns and academic practices that shaped the way in which this concept was translated into public health.

Some long-term effects of emotion on cognition
This study explored the long-term effects of emotion on cognition and over a 12-day period. Two divergent tasks were employed: a word association task and a visual learning task. Over the initial 4 days of the study, participants went through a mood-induction procedure then subsequently completed both tasks. Both tasks showed a reduction in reaction time consistent with the power law of learning across the first 4 consecutive days, and there was …

An early metal assemblage from Dail na Caraidh, Inverness-shire, and its context
Between 1980 and 1984 a number of finds of EBA metalwork were recovered via metal-detecting from an area of rough ground at the head of a small disused quarry. This report considers the character of the metalwork and the context in which that material was deposited. It concludes that the entire assemblage could have resulted from more than one period of votive deposition, and that these activities focused upon a prominent, but natural, long mound…
