Building capacity for participatory research in voluntary & community sector and academic collaborations – The ‘Research Better Together’ project
Background: The Research Better Together project (RBT) is designed to build participatory research collaborations between health and social care academics and local health and social care voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise organisations (VCSFEs). It particularly encourages co-production with populations served by VCSFEs. It has been co-designed by a partnership of organisations including local VCSFEs, an NHS trust, a local communi…
Real World Examples
Background: Health systems globally are striving to be more 'person centred'- delivering care in partnership with patients and families in ways that align with their needs, preferences and values. Also, supporting people to direct and drive their own care (self-management) within enabling environments is a critical component of actioning person-centred care. This meeting joins up two Special Interest Groups: 1) Actioning Person Centred Care and 2…
Plant-ash glass in Natronland
This article examines available evidence for the use of plant ashes in glassmaking in the Mediterranean basin and Europe from the 1st to the 8th-9th century CE. During this period, glassmaking in these regions was overwhelmingly dominated by mineral fluxes, primarily natron, but the chemical composition of some glasses found in secure archaeological contexts suggests the use of plant ashes in these glasses, which are, on the other hand, compositi…
Special Interest
Background- Person centred care, care that recognises and honours the unique experiences and conditions of patients, caregivers, families and community is a core component of the quintuple aim but remains poorly understood and seldomly actioned within and across the health and social care systems. Why are we conducting this meeting? At the International Conference on Integrated Care this past spring in Belfast, Northern Ireland we launched a Spec…
Harnessing community assets in integrated care
Introduction: Integrating health and social care has been a longstanding policy aspiration in England. This pursuit has been influenced by various policies including the Care Act 2014 which calls for integration of services by emphasising to consider strengths of individuals and leveraging individual and community assets when delivering services. This paper examines the implementation of one such strengths-based approach namely, Community Led Sup…
Implementing Innovative Approaches to Integrating Adult and Child Focused Services when Responding to Families Affected by Domestic Violence
Purpose Whole family approaches which integrate adult and child focused services are often required when responding to families affected by domestic abuse, however little is known about how to enact and embed these approaches. The purpose of this study is to undertake a multifaceted examination of the complex and inter-related factors that can impact the implementation of integrated approaches in three regions of England. Methods We utilized a ca…
Leading by example? Culture, change, and strength-based social work
Leaders play a central role in positive change through setting out a clear vision and inspiring others to commit their skills and resources. Leadership can also influence professional and organizational cultures to provide a more receptive environment for new ways of working. This article considers the interplay of leadership and culture within the context of strengths-based transformational programme within adult social work. Using theory of cha…
Just a story? Leadership, lived experience and integrated care
BACKGROUND: Integrated care is based around values of involvement and shared decision-making, but these are not often reflected within planning and implementation. Barriers include continued emphasis on professional and managerial perspectives, skills gaps on how best to engage people and communities and insufficient investment in involvement infrastructure. Despite such challenges, people with lived experience have still led changes in policy an…
“Don’t do it. You will have no life…but it is brilliant.” The impact of citizen leaders against all odds
Background: This study captured the stories of citizen leaders from around the world to learn about their roles, challenges, and impact they had in order to formulate recommendations for research, policy and practice to embed them meaningfully in the system. Consumer and community engagement is integral to integrated care, so these stories are relevant for everyone: professionals, researchers, policy makers and consumers. Successful steps towards…
What are the Factors Influencing Service Provider Response to Working with Families Affected by Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse? A Qualitative Systematic Review of the Literature
Purpose Intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) is a major public health issue with long-term negative impacts on abused adults and affected children. Addressing this complex problem requires a multi-agency response, but barriers to effective joint working remain. This review aimed to understand the factors that influence multi-agency response to families who experience IPVA and to their children. Method We undertook a qualitative systematic r…
Purposefully purple
The rise of purple glazed pottery in fifteenth-century England represented a major change in the character of domestic material culture. These wares typically evolved from the orange bodied, green glazed pottery of the later medieval period and were produced by a number of centres. This paper examines the technological advancements made by potters working at West Cowick (East Yorkshire) as they navigated the transition from green to purple glazed…
Simply red
Chemical analysis of a visually opaque, turquoise-blue ingot from the Late Bronze Age royal capital at Amarna, housed in the Garstang Museum, University of Liverpool, shows an excess of copper colourant which indicates that the intended colour was opaque red. Trace element analysis places the location of manufacture in Egypt, and the date, finds location, dimensions and analysis suggest that the glass was made at Amarna. This, coupled with other …
Builder, Expert, Disruptor, Leader
People with lived experience of health and social care, including family carers, should be at the heart of integrated care policy and practice. One of the challenges to achieving such co-production is insufficient clarity and limited understanding of the different roles that people with lived experience are asked or choose to undertake. Following research and workshops, four roles have been identified - community builder, improvement expert, disr…
The many roles of people with lived experience and how these can be better supported within integrated care policy and implementation
Introduction: This workshop will explore the many roles that people with lived experience of health and social care can play in shaping the vision, planning and implementation of integrated care and consider what supports would enable them to fulfil these roles. Why are you conducting a workshop? Whilst it is widely accepted that integrated care policy and programmes should be based on the needs and interests of people with lived experience of he…
Investigating Late Bronze Age Glass Beads from Stotfold, Bedfordshire, UK
A total of seventeen annular transparent blue glass beads and one cylindrical glass bead with opaque grey-white decoration were found at a site near Stotfold, in Bedfordshire, England. The beads were part of a cremation burial (without an urn), associated with small fragments of gold sheet and bone, and the latter were carbon dated to 1303-1052 calBC with 95% probability. Analysis (quantitative using SEM-EDS and qualitative using XRF) found that …
Glass Bangles in the British Isles
Glass bangles are found in southern England and Wales from the mid-first century ad and become common in the north of England and southern Scotland in the late first century, before their numbers decline a century later. British bangles develop at a time of change, as Roman glassmaking practices were introduced across large areas of Britain, and as blown, transparent, colourless and naturally-coloured glassware became increasingly popular. In man…
Baubles, bangles and beads
Compositional analysis has proved to be a powerful tool for investigating the recycling of transparent glass in the Roman and Byzantine periods. This paper expands the focus further to explore the recycling of coloured and opaque glass in the Late Iron Age and Roman periods in Britain. A review of the findings to date, predominantly for beads and bangles, illustrates how a combination of methods is needed to identify when coloured glass has been …
Diabetes comorbidities in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes, is a major public health burden globally. Diabetes is known to be associated with several comorbidities in high-income countries. However, our understanding of these associations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the epidemiological transition is leading to a growing dual burden of non-communicable and communicable disease, is less clear. We therefore conducted an umbre…
Glass beads from Guishan in Iron Age Taiwan
Archaeological excavations at Guishan in the southern end of Taiwan have recovered more than a hundred glass beads dating to mid-1st millennium CE. This research investigates the exchange of glass beads between Guishan, eastern Taiwan and Southeast Asia, by analysing the styles, chemical composition and microstructure of 64 glass beads from Guishan, using SEM-EDS, EPMA and LA-ICP-MS. The findings suggest that beads with an m-Na-Al glass and v-Na-…
Clarity and brilliance
This paper discusses the development of Roman antimony decolourised natron glass, its dominance, and subsequent decline, using new trace element data for colourless glass found in Britain. Experimental glasses are used to investigate the influence of different proportions of raw materials (particularly the ratio of natron to calcium carbonate) on the resulting transparency or opacity of glass when antimony is added. Focusing on the 1st to 3rd cen…
The anomaly of glass beads and glass beadmaking waste at Jiuxianglan, Taiwan
Glass beads and beadmaking waste have been excavated at the Iron Age site of Jiuxianglan (ca. third century BC-eighth century AD) in southeastern Taiwan. It was suggested that this site may be a production and exchange centre of glass beads in Iron Age Taiwan. This paper presents the analysis of 44 samples, to explore the relationship between glass beads and waste and the nature of bead production at Jiuxianglan. The analysis combines data on sty…

Socioeconomic status and self-reported, screen-detected and total diabetes prevalence in Chinese men and women in 2011-2012
BACKGROUND: A rapid epidemiological transition is taking place in China and the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and diabetes prevalence is not clear and may vary by population characteristics and geography within the country. We describe the associations between educational level, annual household living expenditure (AHLE) and diabetes prevalence in a large middle-aged and elderly Chinese population using data from a nationwide cro…
Glassmaking using natron from el-Barnugi (Egypt); Pliny and the Roman glass industry
Pliny the Elder describes the discovery of a process\nfor making natron glass, which was widely used for much of\nthe first millennium BC and AD. His account of glassmaking\nwith natron has since been corroborated by analyses of archaeological glass and the discovery of large-scale glass production sites where natron glass was made and then exported. Analyses of Egyptian natron have shown it to be a complex mixture of different sodium compounds, …
Mellow yellow
Amber natron glasses were produced from at least the Hellenistic period and continued to be produced into the early second century CE. However, as with other strong colours used for Roman vessel production, this colour gradually declined in popularity as colourless and blue-green glass came to dominate. Whilst the colouring mechanisms for blue-green glasses are relatively well understood, the cause of the distinctive amber colour is more complex …
The composition of ‘naturally coloured’ late Roman vessel glass from Britain and the implications for models of glass production and supply
The composition of late Romano-British colourless vessel glass
Making Colourless Glass in the Roman Period
This paper discusses the compositional analysis of Roman colourless glass from three sites in Britain. The findings suggest that two broad compositional groups can be identified on the basis of the choice of the initial raw materials selected for glass production, in particular the sand. The largest of these groups is inherently different from the naturally coloured, blue–green glasses of the same period, while the other group is compositionally …

A Great Big Melting Pot
One hundred and ninety three glass fragments from the canabae in York were analysed (first to fourth centuries). They fall into six compositional groups: antimony colourless (Sb), high-manganese (high-Mn), low-manganese (low-Mn), mixed antimony and manganese (Sb–Mn), high iron, manganese and titanium (HIMT) and plant ash. Some groups represent production groups, some of which appear to be in limited supply in this western outpost, but are more pr…

A green thought in a green shade’; Compositional and typological observations concerning the production of emerald green glass vessels in the 1st century A.D
The results of a programme of compositional analysis on a series of emerald green glass vessels of known form and date suggest that emerald green vessels have distinct characteristics that set them apart from most contemporary glasses. These specific compositional peculiarities presented here will be evaluated in the context of the varieties of vessel forms produced in the colour. In the light of our findings we will suggest a number of ways forw…

Further Studies in the Compositional Variability of Colourless Romano‐british Vessel Glass
Previous studies of colourless Romano‐British vessel glasses have suggested that, regardless of vessel type, they show considerable compositional homogeneity. Intriguing differences in variability (as opposed to mean composition) have, however, also emerged. This paper reports on a compositional study of 243 vessels, that is larger and more carefully controlled than in previous studies of this kind. Unexpected compositional differences have been …
Boron isotopic composition as a provenance indicator for the flux raw material in Roman natron glass
Roman Glass‐making at Coppergate, York? Analytical Evidence for the Nature of Production
Ceramic vessels and associated vitreous debris, excavated at Coppergate, York, UK, have been interpreted as the remains of Roman glass‐making from the raw materials. This paper reports the results of analysis of this assemblage by XRF, ICPS, XRD, SEM– EDAX and thin‐section petrography. These findings suggest that some ceramic vessels, used as crucibles, have been subjected to temperatures up to 1200°C, well above the firing temperatures of the lo…
Lead Isotopic Analysis of Eighteenth‐dynasty Egyptian Eyepaints and Lead Antimonate Colourants
New lead isotopic analyses are presented for lead antimonate coloured glass and faience from Amarna in Middle Egypt and dated to around 1350 BC. When compared to existing data, these suggest that Gebel Zeit on the Red Sea coast of Egypt may be the source for some of the lead antimonate colourants used in Egypt and possibly for the galena kohls of Eighteenth‐Dynasty date as well
Compositional Variability in Colourless Roman Vessel Glass
A statistical re‐analysis is undertaken of 118 inductively coupled plasma spectrometry analyses of Romano‐British glass specimens found in excavations at Colchester. There are four vessel types present, some of which are associated with chronologically distinct periods. Previous research has suggested little difference in the mean composition of different types. The present paper shows that there are interesting differences in the variation of co…
Glass by Design? Raw Materials, Recipes and Compositional Data
Compositional analyses of ancient and historic glasses have often been interpreted in terms of the use of specific raw materials in glass manufacture. However, the known inhomogeneity of many glass‐making raw materials and the insolubilities of some compounds make any explanation of compositional data problematic. This paper looks at three glass‐making alkalis with a view to understanding how the compositions of these raw materials are carried th…

Rich refuse
Fieldwork undertaken at the National Gallery in 2001–02 revealed Middle-Saxon pits and 17th- and 18th-century construction phases. The latter sequence comprised the remains of two builds of cellars associated with tenements at Duke's Court, a former street on the northern side of the Royal Mews. An exceptional collection of glassware and tin-glazed plates was recovered from these cellars. It must have come from prosperous households and documents…

An Assessment of Compositional and Morphological Changes in Model Archaeological Glasses in an Acid Burial Matrix
The degradation mechanisms of glass in a buried context result in surfaces that have been depleted in various elements. The stability of the glass is primarily affected by the burial environment and the glass composition. However, in all archaeological glasses, the corroded layer that is formed on the surface tends to be low in alkalis, high in silica and lacking in cohesion. The extent to which the material has degraded, along with the physical …
Variable Selection in Artefact Compositional Studies
In artefact compositional studies, the selection of variables to use in analysis is unavoidable. Given this ubiquity, surprisingly little attention has been paid to ways in which variables might be selected. After arguing the case for the importance of variable selection, two systematic approaches to making a choice, which have had little or no application in archaeometry, are discussed and illustrated. One, based on the use of principal componen…
The First British MEPs
When the United Kingdom joined the European Community on 1 January 1973 it became entitled to send thirty-six representatives to the European Parliament. For the first six years of Britain's membership – from January 1973 to June 1979 – these members were nominated from the two Houses of Parliament and hence held a dual mandate. From January 1973 to June 1975 only twenty-one British members, Conservative, Liberal, Ulster Unionist and a cross-benc…

The Ulu Burun Glass Ingots, Cylindrical Vessels and Egyptian Glass
This paper examines a possible Egyptian origin for the glass ingots discovered in the Ulu Burun shipwreck off the Turkish coast and seeks to relate them to cylindrical vessels believed to be ingot moulds from Tell el-Amarna. A preliminary distinction between types of Ulu Burun ingot is also suggested and a comparison made between the ingot moulds from Amarna and those from Qantir

Changes in the socio-demographic patterning of late adolescent health risk behaviours during the 1990s
Marked increases in female substance use and sexual risk behaviours have implications for the long-term health and wellbeing of young women. More effective preventive measures are needed to reduce risk behaviour uptake throughout adolescence and into early adulthood. Public health strategies should reflect both the widespread prevalence of risk behaviour in young people as well as the particular vulnerability to certain risk behaviours among thos…
SP3-68 A systematic review of interventions to prevent or reduce substance use and sexual risk behaviour in young people
Background Interventions aimed at preventing risky behaviour in adolescence and young adulthood have largely focused on single risk behaviours and a limited number of underlying predictors. Interventions that take a broader approach to reducing risk behaviour may more effectively and efficiently reduce multiple risk behaviours. Methods We performed a systematic review to identify experimental studies of interventions to reduce risk behaviour in a…
Glass Recipes and the Output From a 19th-Century Glass Works
Excavations by Oxford Archaeology North in 2003 revealed extensive structural remains of the former Percival, Vickers and Co.

Glass of Amenhotep II from Tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings
Among the purported finds from KV55 is a piece of glass bearing the cartouche of Amenhotep II. This paper reviews the evidence for the discovery of this early fragment, and examines its composition with a view to determining its likely manufacturing origin. Comparison of the glass with some of the earliest Egyptian glass from reign of Thutmose III establishes that it may have been one of the earliest glasses actually manufactured in Egypt
