2. Whose Story Should We Be Telling? An Exploration of Student Attitudes Towards, and Perceptions of, the British History Curriculum

Author

Morgan, Oliver

Abstract

Amid a growing national debate regarding the current health and future direction of the history curriculum in Britain, there have been numerous calls for an examination of its roles and purposes, and questions have been raised as to how far it engages an increasingly diverse student body. This article examines the perceptions and attitudes of students towards the history curriculum within the context of one secondary school in south-east England through an exploratory case study. The findings draw upon research undertaken with Year 9 students, through 105 completed questionnaires, and through focus group interviews conducted with 12 participants. Thematic analysis suggests that, although students very much value learning about British history, they would prefer a curriculum with a wider focus which incorporates broader global studies. Although the environment offered by the case study is not particularly socially diverse, there is evidence that some groups of students desire greater curriculum reform and inclusivity. As a case study, the results are not intended to be generalised outside of context, but merely to provide points of discussion regarding an area in which prior research has been somewhat limited.

Abstract

Objective Rituximab (RTX)‐treated patients exhibit suboptimal responses to COVID‐19 vaccines. However, existing research primarily involves patients already receiving RTX when vaccines were introduced, failing to account for the current landscape where patients are vaccinated before initiating RTX. Our objective was to compare the serological response to COVID‐19 vaccines in patients vaccinated before or after RTX initiation. Methods We included 254 RTX‐treated patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRDs) and 113 blood donors (BDs) in a retrospective, observational cohort study. Patients were categorized based on the timing of RTX treatment relative to primary COVID‐19 vaccination. Serological vaccine responses were assessed using three immunoassays, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of serological response. Results Patients vaccinated before initiating RTX treatment had significantly higher seroconversion rates of SARS‐CoV‐2 immunoglobulin G (87%) and neutralizing antibodies (91%) compared with those receiving RTX before and after vaccination (n = 132) (61% and 65%, respectively). In the logistic regression analysis, a positive serological response was associated with the number of vaccines administered >9 months after the last RTX treatment. Patients receiving the highest number of vaccines with >9 months after RTX showed a response comparable to that of the BDs. Conclusion Vaccinating before RTX initiation yields a robust serological response in patients with AIIRDs. Furthermore, we highlight the reversibility of antibody impairment after RTX treatment cessation, provided that adequate vaccinations occur within a minimum of 9 months after RTX. Our findings offer essential insights for clinical decision‐making regarding COVID‐19 vaccination and RTX treatment, alleviating concerns about future RTX use.

Abstract

In 1887, Dr Joseph Cotterill identified a stiffening of the big toe he termed "hallux rigidus"; a manifestation of first metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis. To date, 133 years after its discovery, we are no further in understanding how it occurs except for a higher-odds ratio among the planus foot type. The majority of clinical and basic-science research of osteoarthritis has concentrated on the hand, hip, and knee. Although large epidemiological studies are best able to identify at-risk populations, new studies need to focus on the unresolved questions related to biomechanical pathways. While many possible etiological factors of hallux rigidus have been dismissed due to a lack of convincing evidence, the role of first ray hypermobility remains enigmatic. However, there is limited understanding of first ray hypermobility and its relationship to foot structure and function. The purpose of this thesis was to provide insight into the biomechanics of first ray hypermobility as a potential etiological factor in hallux rigidus. Four distinct but related investigations were conducted to address current gaps in knowledge: (1) an epidemiology study of population-based trends in hallux rigidus compared to more frequently studied joints; (2) the design and testing of a novel device to standardise measurements of/and quantify first ray hypermobility; (3) investigation of the differences and relationships between foot structure and function caused by first ray hypermobility, and; (4) development, verification, and validation of a finite element model for predictions of cartilage contact mechanics in the hypermobile first ray. Incidence of hallux rigidus was found to be increasing at a rate comparable to the hip and knee. In contrast to other joints, a bimodal age-distribution was found for hallux rigidus, highlighting a subset of younger patients in whom hallux rigidus may be initiated by biomechanical factors other than wear and tear in old age. The novel device for measurements of first ray mobility was found to be substantially more reliable than the standard, clinical exam. Measurements may be performed in partial- and full-weightbearing conditions to facilitate investigation of aberrant foot mechanics resulting from first ray hypermobility. A study of healthy, asymptomatic subjects with planus and rectus foot types established that individuals with first ray hypermobility were predominantly planus in foot type. Subjects who were characterised as hypermobile exhibited increased maximum force beneath the hallux and greater first metatarsophalangeal joint rotational laxity, demonstrating an interaction with translational first ray mobility. Finite element simulations predicted increased first MTP joint stress in the planus foot with first ray hypermobility which, at a magnitude of 6.5 MPa, was within the upper bound of a proposed 5-7 MPa failure limit of cartilage. Taken together, these interlinked studies may elucidate the role of first ray hypermobility in abnormal structure and function of the foot. In the presence of pes planus and hypermobility, an interaction between translational first ray mobility and rotational first metatarsophalangeal joint flexibility may reduce the mechanical advantage from the Windlass mechanism. Concomitant increased force beneath the hallux likely promotes a higher flexion moment arm between the hallucial load and first metatarsophalangeal joint, subjecting the cartilage to potentially harmful tensile and shear stress. Microtrauma to the first metatarsophalangeal joint's articular soft tissues, after repetitive excessive loading on a daily basis from first ray hypermobility, may initiate degenerative changes. The significance of this research rests on its potential to reveal the interaction between pes planus and first ray hypermobility as an etiological factor in hallux rigidus onset and progression.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the interday reliability of a predetermined and a self-determined isometric-squat test among youth soccer players. Familiarization effects were evaluated to determine the minimum number of trials necessary to obtain consistent outputs. Finally, differences between protocols were evaluated. Methods: Thirty-one youth soccer players (mean [SD] age: 13.2 [1.0] y; body mass: 54.1 [3.4] kg; stature: 166.3 [11.2] cm; percentage of estimated adult height: 92.6% [3.6%]) from a top-tier professional academy completed 4 experimental sessions for each protocol: familiarization 1, familiarization 2, test, and retest sessions. Peak force; relative peak force; impulse from 0 to 50 milliseconds, 0 to 100 milliseconds, 0 to 150 milliseconds, and 0 to 200 milliseconds; and rate of force development from 0 to 50 milliseconds, 0 to 100 milliseconds, 0 to 150 milliseconds, and 0 to 200 milliseconds were measured. Results: Both protocols displayed acceptable (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥.75 and coefficient of variation ≤10%) reliability statistics for all metrics apart from rate of force development of any time epoch. Differences were found between familiarization 2 and both test and retest sessions for peak force (P =.034 and.021, respectively) and relative peak force (P =.035 and.005, respectively) across both protocols. Conclusions: The isometric-squat test is a reliable test among youth soccer players. Two familiarization sessions seem to be sufficient to ensure data stabilization. Outputs between the self-determined and predetermined are comparable; however, the latter seems preferable due to improved testing time efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

13. The Sixth Sense of Investing: How Expertise Shapes Gut-Driven Financial Decisions

Author

Herath, Ruwini, Morgan, Oliver, Herath, Ruwini, and Morgan, Oliver

Abstract

Background: This study investigates the role of gut feelings in early-stage venture investments, particularly in environments characterized by high uncertainty. By examining how both inexperienced and experienced investors utilize intuition, the research aims to uncover the cognitive and emotional foundations that influence investment decisions. Purpose: The research aims to understand how gut feelings impact investment decisions across different levels of investor experience. It compares the strategies of seasoned investors with those of novices, providing insights into how intuition and analytical reasoning are integrated. The objective is to offer practical guidance for investors on effectively combining gut feelings with analytical methods to navigate uncertain investment landscapes. Method: A multi-method qualitative approach was employed, combining semi-structured interviews and think-aloud protocols to capture real-time decision-making processes. Data were gathered from 11 investors, resulting in 14 hours of verbal protocols, which were subsequently analyzed using protocol analysis. A hypothetical investment scenario involving a fictional company, EcoPower Innovations, was used to elicit detailed responses from participants. Conclusion: The study finds significant differences in how gut feelings influence investment decisions based on the level of investor experience. Experienced investors skillfully blend intuition with data analysis, leveraging their expertise to manage uncertainty more effectively. In contrast, inexperienced investors tend to rely more on emotional impulses, demonstrating less integration of intuitive judgment with analytical reasoning. These findings highlight the importance of investor education in promoting the balanced use of gut feelings and analytical techniques, thereby improving decision-making in uncertain environments. Additionally, the research offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs on tailoring their approaches to potential

Abstract

Objective To evaluate changes in Ebola-related knowledge, attitudes and prevention practices during the Sierra Leone outbreak between 2014 and 2015. Methods Four cluster surveys were conducted: two before the outbreak peak (3499 participants) and two after (7104 participants). We assessed the effect of temporal and geographical factors on 16 knowledge, attitude and practice outcomes. Findings Fourteen of 16 knowledge, attitude and prevention practice outcomes improved across all regions from before to after the outbreak peak. The proportion of respondents willing to: (i) welcome Ebola survivors back into the community increased from 60.0% to 89.4% (adjusted odds ratio, aOR: 6.0; 95% confidence interval, CI: 3.9-9.1); and (ii) wait for a burial team following a relative's death increased from 86.0% to 95.9% (aOR: 4.4; 95% CI: 3.2-6.0). The proportion avoiding unsafe traditional burials increased from 27.3% to 48.2% (aOR: 3.1; 95% CI: 2.4-4.2) and the proportion believing spiritual healers can treat Ebola decreased from 15.9% to 5.0% (aOR: 0.2; 95% CI: 0.1-0.3). The likelihood respondents would wait for burial teams increased more in high-transmission (aOR: 6.2; 95% CI: 4.2-9.1) than low- transmission (aOR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.4-3.8) regions. Self-reported avoidance of physical contact with corpses increased in high but not low-transmission regions, aOR: 1.9 (95% CI: 1.4-2.5) and aOR: 0.8 (95% CI: 0.6-1.2), respectively. Conclusion Ebola knowledge, attitudes and prevention practices improved during the Sierra Leone outbreak, especially in high-transmission regions. Behaviourally-targeted community engagement should be prioritized early during outbreaks.

Methodes Quatre enquetes en grappes ont ete menees: deux avant le pic de l'epidemie (3499 participants) et deux apres (7104 participants). Nous avons mesure l'impact des facteurs geographiques et temporels sur 16 resultats lies aux connaissances, aux attitudes et aux techniques de prevention. Resultats Quatorze des seize resultats lies aux connaissances, aux attitudes et aux techniques de prevention ont progresse dans toutes les regions entre la periode avant le pic et celle apres le pic. La proportion de repondants disposes a: (i) accueillir les survivants a Ebola de retour dans leur communaute est passee de 60,0% a 89,4% (odds ratio ajuste, ORA: 6,0; intervalle de confiance de 95%, IC: 3,9-9,1); et (ii) attendre l'equipe d'inhumation apres la mort d'un proche a egalement augmente, passant de 86,0% a 95,9% (ORA: 4,4; IC de 95%: 3,2-6,0). La proportion de repondants ayant abandonne la pratique risquee des funerailles traditionnelles est passee de 27,3% a 48,2% (ORA: 3,1; IC de 95%: 2,4-4,2), tandis que celle convaincue de l'efficacite des guerisseurs spirituels pour traiter Ebola a diminue, passant de 15,9% a 5,0% (ORA: 0,2; IC de 95%: 0,1-03). La probabilite que les repondants attendent les equipes d'inhumation a augmente dans les regions a haut risque de transmission (ORA: 6,2; IC de 95%: 4,2-9,1), plus que dans les regions a faible risque de transmission (ORA: 2,3; IC de 95%: 1,4-3,8). Les repondants declarent avoir davantage evite tout contact physique avec les corps dans les regions a haut risque de transmission, mais pas dans les regions a faible risque de transmission (ORA: 1,9; IC de 95%: 1,4--2,5 et ORA: 0,8; IC de 95%: 0,6-1,2). Conclusion Les connaissances, attitudes et techniques de prevention en matiere d'Ebola ont evolue durant l'epidemie qui a touche la Sierra Leone, surtout dans les regions a haut risque de transmission. Il faut privilegier l'engagement communautaire axe sur le comportement des les premiers stades de l'epidemie.

28. The epidemiology and surveillance of drug poisoning mortality in England and Wales

Author

Morgan, Oliver William Colville

Abstract

Drug poisoning causes approximately 2,700 deaths each year in England and Wales. Three drug groups are mainly involved: paracetamol, antidepressants, and opiates and drugs of misuse. Harm reduction initiatives have been introduced to reduce drug poisoning mortality. These include restrictions on paracetamol availability, increased recognition and prescribing of antidepressant drugs and greater availability of methadone treatment for heroin addiction. This study explores the epidemiology of drug poisoning mortality and the impact of harm reduction initiatives between 1993 and 2004. The Office for National Statistics provided data from the Drug Poisoning Mortality Database. To interpret mortality trends, data for hospital admissions, prescriptions, pharmacy drug sales, and the availability of illicit drugs were also used. There was a modest decline in paracetamol poisoning deaths, similar to mortality from non-opioid poisoning. Hospital admissions and sales of paracetamol declined but returned to pre-intervention levels. A small decline in poisoning severity was not clinically significant. Antidepressant poisoning mortality remained stable despite a large increase in the prevalence of treated depression and prescriptions for antidepressant drugs. There was no association between increased antidepressant prescriptions and antidepressant poisoning mortality or suicide. Poisoning risk for individual drugs varied over time, indicating the importance of factors other than drug toxicity. Drug misuse mortality increased sharply in the 1990s, decreased after 2000 and increased again in 2004. This meant the government reduction target was not met. Law enforcement seizures of heroin and methadone rose and fell in line with poisoning mortality rates for these drugs, suggesting that availability is a key determinant of drug misuse mortality. Expansion of methadone prescribing did not appear to have caused more methadone poisoning deaths. Systematic and timely surveillance of drug poisoning mortality is vital for the planning and evaluation of harm reduction initiatives. Interpretation of epidemiological trends requires concurrent use of multiple data sources.
