    British Journal of Cancer (2005) 93, 963 – 966 & 2005 Cancer Research UK All rights reserved 0007 – 0920/05 $30.00 www.bjcancer.com Obituary Sir Richard Doll, epidemiologist – a personal reminiscence with a selected bibliography The death of Richard Doll on 24 July 2005 at the age of 92 after a short illness ended an extraordinarily productive life in science for which he received widespread recognition, including Fellowship of The Royal Society (1966), Knighthood (1971), Companionship of Honour (1996), and many honorary degrees and prizes. He is unique, however, in having seen both universal acceptance of his work demonstrating smoking as the main cause of the most common fatal cancer in the world and the relative success of strategies to reduce the prevalence of the habit. In 1950, 80% of the men in Britain smoked but this has now declined to less than 30%. Richard Doll qualified in medicine at St Thomas’ Hospital in 1937, but his epidemiological career began after service in the Second World War when he worked with Francis Avery Jones at the Central Middlesex Hospital on occupational factors in the aetiology of peptic ulceration. The completeness of Doll’s tracing of previously surveyed men so impressed Tony Bradford Hill that he offered him a post in the MRC Statistical Research Unit to investigate the causes of lung cancer. For the representations of Percy Stocks (Chief Medical Officer to the Registrar General) and Sir Ernest Kennaway had prevailed against the then commonly held view that the marked rise in lung cancer deaths in Britain since 1900 was due only to improved diagnosis.

  • Battle for the Floodplains
    Battle for the Floodplains: An Institutional Analysis of Water Management and Spatial Planning in England Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Karen Michelle Potter September 2012 Abstract Dramatic flood events witnessed from the turn of the century have renewed political attention and, it is believed, created new opportunities for the restoration of functional floodplains to alleviate the impact of flooding on urban development. For centuries, rural and urban landowning interests have dominated floodplains and water management in England, through a ‘hegemonic discourse alliance’ on land use development and flood defence. More recently, the use of structural flood defences has been attributed to the exacerbation of flood risk in towns and cities, and we are warned if water managers proceeded with ‘business as usual’ traditional scenarios, this century is predicted to see increased severe inconveniences at best and human catastrophes at worst. The novel, sustainable and integrated policy response is highly dependent upon the planning system, heavily implicated in the loss of floodplains in the past, in finding the land for restoring functioning floodplains. Planners are urged to take this as a golden opportunity to make homes and businesses safer from flood risk, but also to create an environment with green spaces and richer habitats for wildlife. Despite supportive changes in policy, there are few urban floodplain restoration schemes being implemented in practice in England, we remain entrenched in the engineered flood defence approach and the planner’s response is deemed inadequate. The key question is whether new discourses and policy instruments on sustainable, integrated water management can be put into practice, or whether they will remain ‘lip-service’ and cannot be implemented after all.

Hyderabad 2009 – View from Africa The prospect of travelling to Hyderabad, India, for the recently held 8th Scientific Assembly of IAHS co-hosted with the IAH, presented us with an opportunity to take a break from the demands of academic and consultancy life to visit a beautiful country. Our experiences in Hyderabad were truly remarkable in all respects. We had thought that we would miss the chance of experiencing a monsoon storm event since it was towards the end of season, but upon arrival in Mumbai we were greeted by the most intense downpour we have ever experienced. The rains lasted over 4 hours. As hydrologists Tendai Sawunyama and Evison Kapangaziwiri’s account continues on p. 8.

  • Astructural and Spectroscopic
    A STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF POLYFLUORENE COPOLYMERS IN SOLUTION AND THE SOLID STATE Robert Peter Stanley Experimental Solid State Physics Imperial College London A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2012 1 I dedicate this work to my parents Peter and Sue 2 Acknowledgements There are many people I would like to thank, and without each and every one of them this work would not be completed to the standard it is. The constant support from my parents Sue and Peter over the last seven years has meant I have been able to complete this work, which sometimes did not seem likely. My wonderful girlfriend Hannah has been a constant source of encouragement during my time writing up and I thank her hugely for that. Alasdair Campbell has been an exceptional supervisor without his knowledge and guidance I could not have completed this. Although it has taken longer than anyone had anticipated when I first set out on this PhD journey, his belief in my ability to complete it, and occasional suprise at things I had completed made it a pleasure. There have been many others in the Experimental Solid State Physics group at Imperial College who have helped me, both academically and personally. All those I worked and drank tea with in Huxley 724: Dan Farell, Jeremy Smith, Markus Fuhrer, Matt Lumb, Matt Ng, Clare Dyer- Smith, Peter Spencer, Justin Dane, Thomas Wellinger, Jarvist Frost and more. There were many people whose assistance consisted of more than just warm caffeinated beverages, namely Colin Belton, Joachim Steinke, Alex Guite, and Natasha Shirshova for their generous help with equipment and theory and of course Donal Bradley.

Funding for campaigns promoting fruit and vegetables, or more plant-based diets, has been smaller. Over the years 2016–2020, fruits and vegetables were promoted with only € 146.4 million, 19 % of the budget. Promotion of organic animal products was only a small fraction of the funding. Only four projects, worth € 6.2 million, promoted organic animal products (all of which were meat), making up only 3 % of all the promotional funding for animal products during 2016–2019.
