Abstract

Recent migration patterns have had a profound impact on education systems becoming more diverse in their student body but also influencing school climate and resource provision. A multisite case study approach and semi-structured interviews with 13 principals and 17 teachers were used to identify the challenges and opportunities for culturally responsive leadership in schools in Ireland and Spain. The findings provide an overview of the complex situations faced by school leaders in both countries in terms of professional development for school leaders and teachers. At the heart of the findings is the argument that any efforts to enhance the culturally responsive capacities of school leaders will depend on the enhancement of current professional development opportunities and the creation of new ones. The data indicates that imperative applies not only to school leaders but to the school community as a whole. As with all comparative papers, there are points of similarity and points of divergence, and it is through exploring these that we can see a possible way forward for the development of school leaders in Spain, Ireland and other international contexts.

8. Evaluation and Decentralised Governance: Examples of Inspections in Polycentric Education Systems

Author

Ehren, M. C. M., Janssens, F. J. G., Brown, M., McNamara, G., O'Hara, J., and Shevlin, P.

Abstract

Across Europe schools and other service providers increasingly operate in networks to provide inclusive education or develop and implement more localized school-to-school improvement models. As some education systems move towards more decentralized decision-making where multiple actors have an active role in steering and governing schools, the tasks and responsibilities of Inspectorates of Education must also change. This paper reflects on these changes and suggests "polycentric" inspection models that fit such a decentralized context. Examples of inspection frameworks and methods from Northern Ireland, England and the Netherlands are provided, as well as a brief discussion of the potential impact of such "polycentric" models.

10. Changing School Board Governance in Primary Education through School Inspections

Author

Ehren, Melanie C. M., Honingh, M. E., Hooge, E. H., and O'Hara, J.

Abstract

This paper addresses if, and to what extent, the current working methods of the Dutch Inspectorate of Education affect the governance of school boards in schools for primary education. A key facet of the working method is the inspection meeting with the school board. Drawing upon a large quantitative study (n = 244) we are able to identify some changes in school board governance due to these inspection meetings. School boards that had an inspection meeting indicate changes in their governance of quality assurance and data use, and in the amount of data that they collect on the functioning of their schools. School boards indicate very small amounts of activities with regard to the curriculum and instruction in their schools.

17. Comparison of Adults with Intellectual Disabilities and Mental Health Problems Admitted to Specialist and Generic Inpatient Units

Author

Hemmings, C. P., O'Hara, J., McCarthy, J., Holt, G., Eoster, F., Costello, H., Hammond, R., Xenitidis, K., and Bouras, N.

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the characteristics of service users with intellectual disabilities and mental health problems admitted to either a specialist or a generic inpatient unit in an area of South London. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of consecutive admissions over a 5.5-year period were recorded using a questionnaire. Key differences in psychiatric diagnosis, residence type and discharge destination were found between individuals using generic and specialist provision. Length of stay was significantly longer for specialist unit admissions. Admissions to the specialist unit were significantly more likely to reside with family prior to admission and admissions to generic units were significantly more likely to come from "other" forms of residence such as hostels, prison and "no fixed abode". At discharge the proportion of those admitted to the specialist unit who resided with their families reduced. At the same time the proportion of those living in supported accommodation increased although compared with those admitted to generic units they were still significantly more likely to return to the family home. Significantly, more adults admitted to generic units were diagnosed with an affective disorder. Specialist inpatient provision may be crucial in helping mainstream services meet the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental health problems.

Abstract

This thesis presents a linguistic description of the dialect of the Rwala tribe of northern Arabia as presented in Alois Musil’s (1928) ethnographical work 'The manners and customs of the Rwala bedouins'. A systematic presentation of the phonology and morphology is given, which compares the grammar of the language as Musil recorded it with other sources of the Rwala dialect, and with sources of north-Arabian dialects more broadly, in order to assess the fidelity of Musil’s transcriptions. A complete glossary of Musil’s work has been compiled according to the grammar as set out in the rest of the thesis. Chapter 1 places the Rwala dialect in its north-Arabian context and considers the other sources useful for comparative work and the relevant isoglosses and classificatory characteristics of bedouin, north-Arabian, and Najdi dialects. In chapter 2 the phonology is presented, where it is discussed that Musil’s system of transcription is unlikely to convey the true nature of the sound system of the dialect, and that several important phonological processes recorded for dialects of the type to which Rwala belongs are attested significantly less in Musil than in other accounts. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the morphology of nominal and verbal forms, where idiosyncrasies in Musil are highlighted, although it is shown that in general his record of the language is in line with what would be expected. Chapter 5 deals with function words with similar conclusions to chapters 3 and 4, and in chapter 6 a preliminary lexical study is carried out which demonstrates the similarity of the dialect as presented by Musil to other Najdi dialects.

19. The effect of High Altitude Acclimatisation on Ultra-short Heart Rate Variability

Author

Boos, C, Mellor, A, Woods, D, and O'Hara, J

Abstract

Introduction: High-altitude (HA) exposure affects heart rate variability (HRV) and has been inconsistently linked to acute mountain sickness (AMS). The influence of increasing HA exposure on ultra-short HRV and its relationship to gold standard HRV measures at HA has not been examined.\ud \ud Methods: This was a prospective observational study of adults aged ≥ 18 years undertaking a HA trek in the Dhaulagiri region of the Himalayas. Cardiac inter-beatintervals were obtained from a 10-s recording of supra-systolic blood pressure (Uscom BP+ device) immediately followed by 300 s single lead ECG recording (CheckMyHeart device). HRV was measured using the RMSSD (root mean square of successive differences of NN intervals) at sea level (SL) in the United Kingdom and at 3,619, 4,600, and 5,140 m at HA. Oxygen saturations (SpO2) were measured using finger-based pulse oximetry. The level of agreement between the 10 and 300 s RMSSD values were examined using a modified Bland–Altman relative-difference analysis.\ud \ud Results: Overall, 89 participants aged 32.2 ± 8.8 years (range 18–56) were included of which 70.8% were men. HA exposure (SL vs. 3,619 m) was associated with an initial increase in both 10 s (45.0 [31.0–82.0]) vs. 58.0 [33.0–119.0] ms) and 300 s (45.67 [33.24–70.32] vs. 56.48 [36.98–102.0] ms) in RMSSD. Thereafter at 4,600 and 5,140 m both 10 and 300 s RMSSD values were significantly lower than SL. From a total of 317 paired HRV measures the 10 and 300 s RMSSD measures were moderately correlated (Spearman = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.59–0.72; p < 0.0001). The median difference (bias) in RMSSD values (300 s − 10 s) was −2.3 ms with a lower and upper limit of agreement of −107.5 and 88.61 ms, respectively with no differences with altitude. Overall, 293/317 (92.4%) of all paired HRV values fell within the 95% CI limits of agreement. Neither HRV method was predictive of AMS.\ud \ud Conclusion: Increasing HA affects ultra-short HRV in a similar manner to gold-standard 300 s. Ultra-short HRV has a moderate agreement with 300 s measurements. HRV did not predict AMS.

21. Can Routinely Collected, Patient-Reported Wellness Predict National Early Warning Scores? A Multilevel Modeling Approach

Author

Albutt, A, O'Hara, J, Conner, M, and Lawton, R

Abstract

Objective: Measures exist to improve early recognition of and response to deteriorating patients in hospital. However, management of critical illness remains a problem globally; in the United Kingdom, 7% of the deaths reported to National Reporting and Learning System from acute hospitals in 2015 related to failure to recognize or respond to deterioration. The current study explored whether routinely recording patient-reported wellness is associated with objective measures of physiology to support early recognition of hospitalized deteriorating patients. Methods: A prospective observation study design was used. Nurses on four inpatient wards were invited to participate and record patient-reported wellness during every routine observation (where possible) using an electronic observation system. Linear multilevel modeling was used to examine the relationship between patient-reported wellness, and national early warning scores (NEWS), and whether patient-reported wellness predicted subsequent NEWS. Results: A significant positive relationship was found between patient-reported wellness and NEWS recorded at the next observation while controlling for baseline NEWS (β = 0.180, P = 0.033). A significant positive relationship between patient-reported wellness and NEWS (β = 0.229, P = 0.005) recorded during an observation 24 hours later while controlling for baseline NEWS was also found. Patient-reported wellness added to the predictive model for subsequent NEWS. Conclusion: The preliminary findings suggest that patient-reported wellness may predict subsequent improvement or decline in their condition as indicated by objective measurements of physiology (NEWS). Routinely recording patient-reported wellness during observation shows promise for supporting the early recognition of clinical deterioration in practice, although confirmation in larger-scale studies is required.

Abstract

IntroductionGene therapy has shown promise in clinical trials for patients with haemophilia, but patient preference studies have focused on factor replacement treatments.AimWe conducted a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to investigate the relative importance and differential preferences patients provide for gene therapy attributes.MethodsWe surveyed male adults with haemophilia in the United States recruited from patient panels including the National Hemophilia Foundation Community Voices in Research platform using an online survey over 4 months in 2020/21. Participants indicated preferences for gene therapy attributes including dosing frequency/durability, effect on annual bleeding, uncertainty related to side effects, impact on daily activities, impact on mental health, and post-treatment requirements. The relative importance of each attribute was analysed overall and for subgroups based on haemophilia type and severity.ResultsA total of 183 males with haemophilia A (n = 120) or B (n = 63) were included. Half (47%) had severe haemophilia; most (75%) were White. Overall, participants gave effect on bleeding rate the greatest relative importance (31%), followed by dose frequency/durability (26%), uncertainty regarding safety issues (17%), and impact on daily activities (11%). Dose frequency/durability had the greatest importance for those with haemophilia B (35%).ConclusionPeople with haemophilia prioritised reduced bleeding and treatment burden; the former was more important in haemophilia A and the latter in haemophilia B, followed by safety and impact on daily life in this DCE of gene therapy attributes. These findings and differences can inform clinical and health policy decisions to improve health equity for people with haemophilia.

Abstract

Aims\ud \ud Hemophilia B (HB) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by bleeding-related complications which are managed by prophylactic or post-bleeding event (“on-demand”) replacement of clotting factor IX (FIX). The standard of care for severe HB is life-long prophylaxis with standard half-life (SHL) or extended half-life (EHL) products given every 2–3 or 7–14 days, respectively. FIX treatment costs in the US have been investigated, but the lifetime costs of HB treatment have not been well characterized, particularly related to the impact of joint health deterioration and associated health resource utilization. We developed a decision-analytic model to explore outcomes, costs and underlying cost drivers associated with FIX treatment options over the lifetime of an adult with severe or moderately severe HB.\ud \ud \ud Materials and methods\ud \ud With participation from clinicians, health technology assessment specialists and patient advocates, a Markov model was constructed to estimate bleeding events and costs associated with health states including “bleed into joint”, “bleed not into joint”, “no bleed” and “death”. Sub-models of joint health were based on 0, 1, or ≥2 areas of chronic joint damage. US third-party payer and societal perspectives were considered with a lifetime horizon; sensitivity analyses tested the robustness of primary findings.\ud \ud \ud Results\ud \ud Total adult lifetime costs per patient with severe and moderately severe HB were $21,086,607 for SHL FIX prophylaxis, $22,987,483 for EHL FIX prophylaxis, and $20,971,826 for on-demand FIX treatment. For FIX prophylaxis, the cost of FIX treatment accounts for >90% of the total HB treatment costs.\ud \ud \ud Conclusions\ud \ud This decision analytic model demonstrated significant economic burden associated with the current HB treatment paradigm.

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in surgical capacity for head and neck cancer in the UK between the first wave (March‐June 2020) and the current wave (Jan‐Feb 2021) of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Design: REDcap online based survey of hospital capacity. Setting: UK secondary and tertiary hospitals providing head and neck cancer surgery. Participants: One representative per hospital was asked to report the capacity for head and neck cancer surgery in that institution. Main Outcome Measures: The principal measures of interests were new patient referrals, capacity in outpatients, theatres and critical care; therapeutic compromises constituting delay to surgery, de‐escalated surgery and therapeutic migration to non‐surgical primary modality. Results: Data was returned from approximately 95% of UK hospitals with a head and neck cancer surgery specialist service. 50% of UK head and neck cancer patients requiring surgery have significantly compromised treatments during the second wave: 28% delayed, 10% have received radiotherapy‐based treatment instead of surgery and 12% have received de‐escalated surgery. Surgical capacity has been more severely constrained in the second wave (58% of pre‐pandemic level) compared with the first wave (62%) despite the time to prepare. Conclusions: Some hospitals are overwhelmed by COVID‐19 and unable to offer essential cancer surgery, but all have neighbouring hospitals in their region retaining good (or even normal) capacity. It is noteworthy that very few patients have been appropriately re‐directed away from the hospitals most constrained by their burden of COVID‐19. The paucity of an effective central or regional strategic response to this evident mismatch between demand and surgical capacity is to the detriment of our head and neck cancer patients.

Abstract

Background Septoplasty (surgery to straighten a deviation in the nasal septum) is a frequently performed operation worldwide, with approximately 250,000 performed annually in the US and 22,000 in the UK. Most septoplasties aim to improve diurnal and nocturnal nasal obstruction. The evidence base for septoplasty clinical effectiveness is hitherto very limited. Aims To establish, and inform guidance for, the best management strategy for individuals with nasal obstruction associated with a deviated septum. Methods/design A multicentre, mixed-methods, open label, randomised controlled trial of septoplasty versus medical management for adults with a deviated septum and a reduced nasal airway. Eligible patients will have septal deflection visible at nasendoscopy and a nasal symptom score ≥ 30 on the NOSE questionnaire. Surgical treatment comprises septoplasty with or without reduction of the inferior nasal turbinate on the anatomically wider side of the nose. Medical management comprises a nasal saline spray followed by a fluorinated steroid spray daily for six months. The recruitment target is 378 patients, recruited from up to 17 sites across Scotland, England and Wales. Randomisation will be on a 1:1 basis, stratified by gender and severity (NOSE score). Participants will be followed up for 12 months post randomisation. The primary outcome measure is the total SNOT-22 score at 6 months. Clinical and economic outcomes will be modelled against baseline severity (NOSE scale) to inform clinical decision-making. The study includes a recruitment enhancement process, and an economic evaluation. Discussion The NAIROS trial will evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of septoplasty versus medical management for adults with a deviated septum and symptoms of nasal blockage. Identifying those individuals most likely to benefit from surgery should enable more efficient and effective clinical decision-making, and avoid unnecessary operations where there is low likelihood of patient benefit.

Abstract

Splenic contractions occur in response to apnoea‐induced hypoxia with and without facial water immersion. However, the splenic responses to a series of static (STA) or dynamic (DYN) apnoeas with whole‐body water immersion in non‐divers (NDs) and elite breath‐hold divers (EBHDs) are unknown. EBHD (n = 8), ND (n = 10) and control participants (n = 8) were recruited. EBHD and ND performed a series of five maximal DYN or STA on separate occasions. Control performed a static eupnoeic (STE) protocol to control against any effects of water immersion and diurnal variation on splenic volume and haematology. Heart rate (HR) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) were monitored for 30 s after each apnoea. Pre‐ and post‐apnoeic splenic volumes were quantified ultrasonically, and blood samples were drawn for haematology. For EBHD and ND end‐apnoeic HR was higher (P < 0.001) and SpO2 was lower in DYN (P = 0.024) versus STA. EBHD attained lower end‐apnoeic SpO2 during DYN and STA than NDs (P < 0.001). Splenic contractions occurred following DYN (EBHD, −47 ± 6%; ND, −37 ± 4%; P < 0.001) and STA (EBHD, −26 ± 4%; ND, −26 ± 8%; P < 0.01). DYN‐associated splenic contractions were greater than STA in EBHD only (P = 0.042). Haemoglobin concentrations were higher following DYN only (EBHD, +5 ± 8g/L , +4 ± 2%; ND, +8 ± 3 g/L , +4.9 ± 3%; P = 0.019). Haematocrit remained unchanged after each protocol. There were no between group differences in post‐apnoeic splenic volume or haematology. In both groups, splenic contractions occurred in response to STA and DYN when combined with whole‐body immersion. DYN apnoeas, were effective at increasing haemoglobin concentrations but not STA apnoeas. Thus, the magnitude of the splenic response relates to the hypoxemic stress encountered during apnoeic epochs.

Abstract

The paper presents a theory of participation in systems of learning that emerges from our evidence gathered through partnerships between schools and the academy. The theory identifies young people need to endorse common principles of participation to include and respect all. Educational leaders’ evidence informed intervention strategies can positively impact young people’s inclusive and respectful participation in the action-research. The theory of participation conceptualises young people’s need for opportunities to pursue their ambitions and interests. Leaders’ intervention strategies may develop young people’s participation in attaining target examination outcomes to achieve their ambitions. We then develop the theory of participation regarding young people pursuing independent interests and ambitions in association with the other, to enable them to be drivers of social change. To do this they need to understand their future identity as potential consumers, employees, employers, and entrepreneurs with Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) that challenge public corporations in a variety of ways. We theorise how young people are well situated to build capacity in Europe and globally using the social media networks they have already developed. Our evidence identified five participation principals of inclusion, respect, trust in the search for truth, constructive cross-cultural critique of alternative world views to arrive at a shared multicultural world view, and the generation of new knowledge to enable the re-imagining of new futures where young people are drivers of social change. From these principals we developed a theory of practice and four global standards as guidelines. First, a commitment to inclusionary partnerships and communities of practice. Second, distributed autonomy across stakeholders in the institution characterized by respect for individuals’ associated rights and responsibilities. Third, constructive cross-cultural criticism underpinned by trust in a search for truth, using different group’s constructed identity schema’s to develop a shared multicultural world view. Fourth, the generation of new knowledge through structures and mechanisms to optimize participation.

Abstract

Across the world, teachers’ classroom assessment tasks and responsibilities are becoming more diverse due to increased migration. In this review, we address how migrant students are affected by assessment, both summative and formative, at the classroom level, with a focus on culturally responsive assessment (CRA). Previous research has shown that CRA practices mainly occur in student-centred classrooms. Furthermore, both student and teacher beliefs about teaching and learning might negatively affect migrant students’ opportunities to engage in assessment situations. Teaching and assessment practices should be negotiated and aligned with and included in classroom norms to be culturally responsive. We propose that what is generally considered a valid and reliable assessment practice might need to be adjusted to account for students’ cultural ways of knowing and participating and how this is expressed and communicated within the classroom. © 2020, The Author(s).

Abstract

Global mobility and economic and political crises in some parts of the world have fuelled migration and brought new constellations of 'cultural diversity' to European classrooms (OECD2019). This produces new challenges for teaching, but also for assessment in which cultural biases may have far-reaching consequences for the students' further careers in education, occupation and life. After considering the concept of and current research on 'culturally responsive assessment', we use qualitative interview data from 115 teachers and school leaders in 20 lower secondary schools in Austria, Ireland, Norway and Turkey to explore the thinking about diversity and assessment practices of teachers in the light of increasing cultural diversity. Findings suggest that 'proficiency in the language of instruction' is the main dimension by which diversity in classrooms is perceived. While there is much less reference to 'cultural differences' in our case studies, we found many teachers in case schools trying to adapt their assessment procedures and grading in order to help students from diverse backgrounds to show their competencies and to experience success. However, these responses were, in many cases, individualistic rather than organised by the school or regional education authorities and were also strongly influenced and at times, limited by government-mandated assessment regimes that exist in each country. The paper closes with a series of recommendations to support the further development of a practicable and just practice of culturally responsive assessment in schools.
