  • Summary

    The UK's Wildlife Trusts are unusual in the nature conservation world. A federation of forty-seven Trusts focused on the conservation of wildlife, they are not a centralised, top-down organisation but a movement that draws inspiration from the bottom up. They base their collective strength on diversity and wide local experience, bringing a refreshingly independent view to conservation thinking at a county, regional and national level. This chapter shows the part Wildlife Trusts have played in shaping our understanding and approach to wildlife and its conservation and seeks to situate the Wildlife Trusts better within the wider heritage of nature conservation in Britain (Stamp 1969; Sheail 1976; Adams 1986; Evans 1997; Sheail 1998; Simmons 2001; Marren 2002). It is written at a time of growing academic and public recognition of their past role, particularly since their centenary year in 2012, when a commissioned history was published (Sands 2012a).

    The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, founded as the Lincolnshire Naturalists Trust in 1948 – and more particularly its Honorary Secretary, Edward (Ted) Smith (1920–2015) – was among the first to recognise the need for a new type of local organisation in response to increasingly obvious harmful developments threatening the countryside and wildlife after World War II. Other local Trusts did exist. The Norfolk Naturalists’ Trust (NNT, formed in 1926) (NNT 1976; Stoddart 2013), the West Wales Field Society (formed 1946) and the Yorkshire Trust (1947) were all actively managing nature reserves, but the Lincolnshire Trust sought to spread its net more widely. From the outset, it campaigned successfully to stop a caravan site being developed in the heart of the first Local Nature Reserve in all of England – Gibraltar Point on the Wash (Sheail 1977). Not only was the Lincolnshire Trust acquiring nature reserves and confronting threats from over-development and agriculture but it was also pioneering educational/visitor projects and collaborating closely with the local authority. The extent of its conservation work and outreach within its community were unique. Smith's view was that if this broader approach was good enough for Lincolnshire, it would fit other counties too (Smith 2007). Each should have an ‘independent organisation devoted primarily to conservation, incorporated to hold property, with some financial resources and, most importantly perhaps, deriving its support from a much wider section of community than the average natural history society’ (Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves 1954).

  • Essays in Honour of John B. Hattendorf

  • This book presents a wide range of new research on many aspects of naval strategy in the early modern and modern periods. Among the themes covered are the problems of naval manpower, the nature of naval leadership and naval officers, intelligence, naval training and education, and strategic thinking and planning. The book is notable for giving extensive consideration to navies other than those ofBritain, its empire and the United States. It explores a number of fascinating subjects including how financial difficulties frustrated the attempts by Louis XIV's ministers to build a strong navy; how the absence of centralised power in the Dutch Republic had important consequences for Dutch naval power; how Hitler's relationship with his admirals severely affected German naval strategy during the Second World War; and many more besides. The book is a Festschrift in honour of John B. Hattendorf, for more than thirty years Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History at the US Naval War College and an influential figure in naval affairs worldwide.

    N.A.M. Rodger is Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford.

    J. Ross Dancy is Assistant Professor of Military History at Sam Houston State University.

    Benjamin Darnell is a D.Phil. candidate at New College, Oxford.

  • Akathisia: Problem of History or Concern of Today

  • Naveed Iqbal, Tim Lambert, Prakash Masand

  • Akathisia is a neurological side effect of antipsychotic medications, which are used to treat various psychiatric disorders. Akathisia is characterized by physical restlessness and a subjective urge to move. Although side effects such as akathisia, dystonia, and dyskinesia are common with the use of conventional antipsychotics, they occur in reduced frequency with the use of new-generation antipsychotics. Despite a lowered incidence profile, akathisia and similar conditions continue to affect patients. Neuroleptic-induced akathisia can present as fidgety movements while seated, rocking in place while standing, pacing, inability to sit or stand still for an extended period of time, and an overwhelming urge to move. These symptoms can cause severe distress and an increased risk of suicide for affected patients. First-line treatment of akathisia includes benzodiazepines or β-blockers for patients who do not have symptoms of Parkinson's disease and anticholinergic medications for patients with Parkinson's symptoms. Clinicians should ensure that an accurate diagnosis of akathisia is made and that target symptoms are decreasing due to treatment. At the same time, it must be ensured that the treatment used does not negatively affect the mental health of the patient. This expert roundtable supplement will address the diagnosis, pathophysiology, phenomenology, classification, and history of akathisia as well as discuss screening tools and treatment options for the condition.

  • Background

    The community treatment order (CTO) is the legal framework by which people in the community are compelled to accept treatment. Both antipsychotic long-acting injections (LAIs) and CTOs are used to address treatment non-adherence.

    Aims

    To investigate the relationship between CTOs and LAI use in patients with schizophrenia.

    Method

    Prescribing, demographic and CTO data were collected for patients from four community mental health clinics in Melbourne, Australia, in 1998 and 2002.

    Results

    Against a background of increasing use of oral second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medication and decreasing use of LAIs, the rates of CTO implementation doubled from 13% to 26% of patients with schizophrenia between 1998 and 2002. Proportionally more patients with a CTO are prescribed LAIs rather than oral SGAs.

    Conclusions

    The relationship between receiving an LAI and being subject to a CTO is significant, and reflects the consideration given to enhancing adherence in a community mental health setting.

  • The functional programming language Miranda has been used as a first programming language at the University of NSW since the beginning of 1989, when a new computer engineering course and a revised computer science course were introduced. This paper explains the reasons for choosing the language, and describes the subject in which Miranda is introduced. Examples of the presentation of the material, and of exercises and assignment used in the course, are given. Finally, an assessment of the experience is given.
