  • Evaluation of the Sheffield System for Identifying Children at Risk from Unexpected Death in Infancy

Downloaded from Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1978, 53, 649-652 Evaluation of the Sheffield system for identifying children at risk from unexpected death in infancy Results from Birmingham and Newcastle upon Tyne J. R. OAKLEY, C. J. TAVARE, AND A. N. STANTON From the DHSS Multicentre Postneonatal Study, University of Sheffield SUMMARY The 'at birth' system which is used in Sheffield to identify children likely to die un- expectedly in infancy, was tested retrospectively in Birmingham (83 cases) and in Newcastle upon Tyne (56 cases). The discrimination between cases and age-matched controls was poor in both cities. Analysis of the 8 factors used in the system showed that only 2 maintained significant case/ control differences in Birmingham and Newcastle. Further investigation showed that other factors from maternity records showed significant case/control differences in these cities. Although the system used in Sheffield would not be of use in a prospective prevention programme in either Newcastle or Birmingham, the possibility of evolving an 'at risk' system which might apply more widely is discussed. copyright.

  • On the Diversity of Urban Waterscape J
    Proceedings of the Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference 23-27 April 2012, Nantes, France On the diversity of urban waterscape J. Kang University of Sheffield, School of Architecture, S10 2TN Sheffield, UK j.kang@sheffield.ac.uk 3533 23-27 April 2012, Nantes, France Proceedings of the Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference In the last several hundred years the development of Sheffield has been shaped by waterways. In the recent city centre regeneration, starting in the 1990s, great efforts have been made to ensure that the reconnection with the rivers continues to be fostered and their role in the history of the city celebrated. Waterscapes and squares have been embedded into the city for its vibrancy with the respect of the history of Sheffield. This paper examines the soundscape with waterscape along the Gold Route formed in the city centre regeneration project. The changes of waterscape sound levels with frequency and time at different locations of the Gold Route are analysed. Comparisons have also been made between different water features along the Gold Route in terms of psychoacoustic parameters including loudness, roughness, sharpness, and fluctuation strength. A series of field questionnaire surveys in selected locations along the Gold Route have shown that water sounds are the most preferred sounds in the soundscape. 1 Introduction The city’s first settlement developed at the confluence of the Rivers Don and Sheaf, around the 12th century. With the role as a market town at this time, Sheffield had continued to be shaped by waterways. Sheffield’s access to abundant natural resources made it an ideal centre for iron and steel industry, and the rivers contributed considerably to the production and industry of the city development.

  • Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors
    Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors What is a combined authority (CA)? A combined authority (CA) is a legal body set up using national legislation that enables a group of two or more councils to collaborate and take collective decisions across council boundaries. It is far more robust than an informal partnership or even a joint committee. The creation of a CA means that member councils can be more ambitious in their joint working and can take advantage of powers and resources devolved to them from national government. While established by Parliament, CAs are locally owned and have to be initiated and supported by the councils involved. 54 (17%) Number of local authorities (excluding the 33 London boroughs) with full membership of a combined authority 22% Percentage of population of England outside London living in a mayoral combined authority area Brief background to devolution and the combined authorities The idea of devolution has excited the imaginations of the political class for a long time even if the public has been less enthusiastic. The turnout rates for the May 2017 Metro Mayor 1 elections attest to this. Devolution was given a big push under New Labour but John Prescott’s North East Devolution Referendum 2004 was decisively rejected by the people (78% of voters were against). The idea was nevertheless pursued by the Coalition. Heseltine’s No Stone Unturned: In pursuit of growth 2012 report made a reasonable case for the concentration of funding streams and for these to be placed under local political control for greater efficiency and flexibility and to maximise effect.

  • Peak Malpractice
    Peak Malpractice What’s happening to wildlife in the Peak District National Park? Who’s killing the wildlife of the Peak District National Park? Populations of some protected birds are declining from the woods and moors of the Dark Peak. If this part of the Peak District National Park is a no-go zone for some of Britain’s most cherished wildlife, it reinforces the urgent need for statutory agencies, voluntary groups and landowners to protect wild birds and tackle any criminal activity against wildlife with renewed vigour and determination. 3 What’s happening to wildlife in the Peak District National Park? A walk across the moorlands and The continued declines of some species and a series through the valleys of the Dark Peak of incidents in recent years has led to our call for urgent action. in spring and summer is enriched by the sight and sound of nesting birds: Studies across the UK show many examples where the evocative, bubbling call of curlews, birds of prey, particularly peregrines, golden eagles and hen harriers, fare much worse when they nest on moors the drumming display of snipe, managed for driven grouse-shooting.1,2,3,4 the aerobatics of ravens and the brief dash of the spectacular goshawk. Concerns about the decline of raptors in the Dark Peak prompted the development of the Peak Nestwatch Partnership in 2000 (see box). Much of the Dark Peak is privately-owned moorland managed for driven grouse-shooting. In part, this has shaped the landscape of the Dark Peak. The heather moors have been maintained by management for grouse-shooting, whereas many other moors were heavily grazed or planted with The Peak Nestwatch Partnership trees.

  • Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”
    Nebula 4.3 , September 2007 Sheffield is not Sexy. By Stephen Mallinder Abstract The city of Sheffield’s attempts, during the early 1980s, at promoting economic regeneration through popular cultural production were unconsciously suggestive of later creative industries strategies. Post-work economic policies, which became significant to the Blair government a decade later, were evident in urban centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in nascent form. The specificity of Sheffield’s socio-economic configuration gave context, not merely to its industrial narrative but also to the city’s auditory culture, which was to frame well intended though subsequently flawed strategies for regeneration. Unlike other cities, most notably Manchester, the city’s mono-cultural characteristics failed to provide an effective entrepreneurial infrastructure on which to build immediate economic response to economic rationalisation and regional decline. Top-down municipal policies, which embraced the city’s popular music, gave centrality to cultural production in response to a deflated regional economy unable, at the time, to sustain rejuvenation through cultural consumption. Such embryonic strategies would subsequently become formalised though creative industry policies developing relationships with local economies as opposed to urban engineering through regional government. Building upon the readings of industrial cities such as Liverpool, New Orleans and Chicago, the post-work leisure economy has increasingly addressed the significance of the auditory effect in cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. However the failure of the talismanic National Centre for Popular Music signifies the inherent problems of institutionalizing popular cultural forms and resistance of sound to be anchored and contained. The city’s sonic narrative became contained in its distinctive patterns of cultural production and consumption that ultimately resisted attempts at compartmentalization and representation through what became colloquially known as ‘the museum of popular music’.
