Policing serious public disorder: the search for principles, policies and operational lessons. [In two volumes]
No full textThe paper examines the influence of central government on the police response to serious public disorder; the effectiveness or otherwise of the law and the way in which it is used by the police in their response to such disorder, and searches for sone principles which need to be followed if the police are to maintain the general support of the communities in which they are required to act. Some comparisons are made, and differences highlighted, between the police commander in his response to serious public disorder, once it has broken out, and the military commander in battle. But, guided by lessons from history, the paper principally concentrates on the environment in which the operational police commander is required to act in responding to actual or potential serious public disorder, pointing out that he is dependant for his success on firstly, an effective system of command and control; secondly, on an intelligence system which feeds relevant and accurate information on which he can make sound and informed decisions; and thirdly, the physical resources, e.g. personnel and equipment, and the approved tactics which enable him to restore public tranquility once disorder has broken out. But before he can use the physical resources effectively, he must have a sound strategy for dealing with actual or potential disorder
Developing a Master Data Sharing Agreement: Seeking Student-Level Evidence to Support a Collaborative Community Effort in Education
No full text· A private foundation, a public school system, and a state university joined forces to address a difficult, long-standing challenge: closing the academic achievement gap between urban and suburban students.
· All parties agreed that sharing of longitudinal, student-level data was required to drive and evaluate multiple efforts to close the gap, but significant technical, regulatory, and political obstacles stood in the way.
· The parties worked through multiple challenges and forged a Master Data Sharing Agreement (MDSA) that will facilitate both daily intelligence for program staff and powerful post-hoc research capacity.
· This MDSA text has been released online for your use under the Creative Commons license (Community Research Institute, 2011a).
· Reaching the agreement required a shared vision, definitive research, genuine trust, true alignment, dogged patience, ample investment, iterative development, selfless collaboration, careful coordination, and fidelity to a common language: data

No full textRe -inventing the "cry for help": attempted suicide in Britain in the mid-twentieth centuary c 1937-1969
No full textPhDAfter 1945 in Britain there emerges an ‘epidemic’ of ‘attempted suicide’ that is read as not aiming at death exclusively, but is instead a form of communication – a ‘cry for help’. This ‘epidemic’ consists predominantly of young people (increasingly gendered female) who present at general hospitals after having taken an amount of medication that is deemed excessive, but insufficient to kill them. This thesis places this ‘epidemic’ into historical context by looking at two interlinked developments in healthcare provision in Britain. First, models of mental healthcare provision change. With mental health included in the NHS, provision slowly and unevenly moves away from the geographically remote asylum, and into general hospitals and ‘the community’. The legislative high point of this process is the 1959 Mental Health Act, removing all legal barriers to mental treatment in general hospitals. This enables consistent psychological scrutiny upon patients presenting at general hospitals. This is cemented by the Suicide Act 1961 which decriminalises suicide and attempted suicide, and is swiftly followed by a government memorandum asking hospitals to ensure that all ‘attempted suicide’ patients presenting at casualty receive psychiatric assessment. The second development is in psychiatric thought, moving towards a socially-focused model of the causation of mental disorder. This is underpinned by broad concepts of ‘mental stress’ which enable pathology to be located in social relationships and social situations. This is achieved through much intellectual and practical labour, with psychiatric social workers carrying out home visits and follow-up, as well as interviewing friends, relatives and even employers, in order to construct a ‘social constellation’ around the ‘overdose’. Thus, the increased scrutiny at general hospitals recasts that presenting ‘physical injury’ as a symptom of a disordered social situation, and a communication with a social circle: ‘a cry for help’, newly possible on a nationwide scale.Wellcome Trus
Promoting the engagement of interpreters in Victorian health services
No full textThis study examined a range of evidence about the barriers to - and facilitators of - the engagement of interpreters as experienced by the health sector and its practitioners.Executive summaryEffective communication between health practitioners and their clients is fundamental to ensure the safety and quality of health care. For the thousands of Victorians with low English proficiency, effective communication in a health setting cannot be achieved without an appropriately skilled interpreter. Yet evidence shows that there are many occasions when credentialled interpreters are not engaged even though they should be, creating risks for both clients and health practitioners.Communication in health care settings allows the health practitioner to accurately understand the client’s health concerns and symptoms. It enables the client to be able to provide informed consent, understand diagnoses, receive information and understand risks associated with medication or treatment. Compliance with follow-up care also requires effective communication, as does the client’s ability to advise the practitioner of any adverse effects or other concerns regarding treatment.Around 4 per cent of Victorians speak English ‘not well’ or ‘not at all’. For these members of the community, effective communication in a health setting cannot be achieved without an interpreter who has the necessary range of skills to undertake the task competently and ethically.Professional interpreting has been a key discipline in the health sector in Victoria for over 30 years. However evidence shows that the engagement of credentialled interpreters is still not commensurate with the needs of the community. The issue is of concern nationally. A recent study found that a client with low English proficiency had only a one in one hundred chance of having a professional interpreter engaged when required in a primary care setting in Australia.Shortfalls in the provision of interpreting services constitute a major barrier to addressing inequalities in health care.This study examined a range of evidence about the barriers to - and facilitators of - the engagement of interpreters, as experienced by the health sector and its practitioners. Based on the evidence examined, recommendations are made in relation to:Strengthening legislation, organisational and professional guidelines and standards Closing gaps in Commonwealth funding for interpreters Ensuring Victorian Government funding for interpreters for state administered and funded health services is commensurate with needAdjusting the national funding formula for hospitals to provide weighting for the engagement of interpreters when patients have low English proficiencyEncouraging health services and tertiary institutions to routinely provide training on working with interpreters in professional development and professional practice education Promoting organisational development to ensure policy and practices are in place for effective engagement of credentialled interpreters to meet a variety of demands across language groups Developing initiatives to ensure the supply of interpreters in new-arrival languages and the capacity of the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) to test in these languages. The evidence also indicates that there is an insufficient supply of credentialled interpreters who have skills in working in complex health environments. There is a compelling case for a broad national workforce and industry review
The relationship between ADAMTS13 genotype and phenotype in congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and characterisation of ADAMTS13 mutants
No full textCongenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy, usually involving ADAMTS13 gene defects. ADAMTS13 processes the multimeric plasma glycoprotein Von Willebrand factor making it less reactive to platelets. Patients differ in terms of disease severity and evidence suggests a relationship between ADAMTS13 genotype and disease phenotype. Over 140 mutations have been identified in patients but only ~30% of these has been expressed in vitro. The aim of this thesis was to study certain ADAMTS13 mutations identified in a homozygous form in congenital TTP patients to assess in vitro their effect on the secretion and activity of ADAMTS13 and to assess their contribution to disease phenotype. ADAMTS13 mutants (p.R102H, p.I143T and p.Y570C) and wild type (WT) were expressed in HEK293T cells. The p.R102H mutation partially affected the secretion of ADAMTS13 and reduced the catalytic efficiency of the mutant but not to the extent predicted based upon levels measured in patient plasma. Expressing this mutant with three ADAMTS13 polymorphisms (p.Q448E, p.P618A and p.A900V) which were also identified in the patient with this mutation further reduced the secretion and activity of ADAMTS13. When these three polymorphisms were expressed separately in WT ADAMTS13, the p.P618A polymorphism reduced the secretion and subsequently the activity of ADAMTS13 suggesting that this polymorphism in particular was responsible for the reduction observed. These results highlight the importance of ADAMTS13 polymorphisms. The p.I143T and p.Y570C mutations severely affected ADAMTS13 secretion. Immunofluorescence studies showed localisation of these mutants within the ER but less extensive localisation within the cis Golgi compared to WT ADAMTS13. The p.I143T mutant was characterised further and was shown to be degraded by the cell proteasome. Addition of a chemical chaperone (betaine) appeared to rescue the secretion defect caused by the p.I143T mutation. This may have future therapeutic implications for the treatment of some congenital TTP patients
EFFECTS OF FOOD ASSISTANCE AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS ON NUTRITION AND HEALTH: VOLUME 4, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW
No full textThis report provides a summary of a comprehensive review and synthesis of published research on the impact of USDA's domestic food and nutrition assistance programs on participants' nutrition and health outcomes. The outcome measures reviewed include food expenditures, household nutrient availability, dietary intake, other measures of nutrition status, food security, birth outcomes, breastfeeding behaviors, immunization rates, use and cost of health care services, and selected nonhealth outcomes, such as academic achievement and school performance (children) and social isolation (elderly). The report is one of four volumes produced by a larger study that includes Volume 1, Research Design; Volume 2, Data Sources; Volume 3, Literature Review; and Volume 4, Executive Summary of the Literature Review. The review examines the research on 15 USDA food assistance and nutrition programs but tends to focus on the largest ones for which more research is available: food stamps, school feeding programs, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Over half of USDA's budget - $41.6 billion in fiscal year 2003 - was devoted to food assistance and nutrition programs that provide low-income families and children with access to a healthy diet.Dietary intake, food expenditures, nutrient availability, nutrient intake, nutritional status, nutrition and health outcomes, USDAs food assistance and nutrition programs, Food Security and Poverty,
