Abstract (sommario):

AbstractNick Martin was a doctoral student of mine at the University of Birmingham in the mid 1970s. In this review, I discuss two of Nick’s earliest and most seminal contributions to the field of behavior genetics. First, Martin and Eaves’ (1977) extension of the model-fitting approach to multivariate data, which laid the theoretical groundwork for a generation of multivariate behavior genetic studies. Second, the Martin et al.’s (1978) manuscript on the power of the classical twin design, which showed that thousands of twin pairs would be required in order to reliably estimate components of variance, and has served as impetus for the formation of large-scale twin registries across the world. I discuss these contributions against the historical backdrop of a time when we and others were struggling with the challenge of figuring out how to incorporate gene-by-environment interaction, gene–environment correlation, mate selection and cultural transmission into more complex genetic models of human behavior.

Abstract (sommario):

Artykuł proponuje równoległą, porównawczą lekturę dwu tekstów: polskiego reportażu Zaraza (1965), autorstwa Jerzego Ambroziewicza oraz angielskiego eseju The Last Days of Smallpox: Tragedy in Birmingham (2018), autorstwa Marka Pallena. Teksty te poświęcone są, odpowiednio, epidemii czarnej ospy we Wrocławiu (1963) oraz zalążkowi epidemii tej samej choroby w Birmingham (1978). Przedmiotem porównania są podobieństwa i różnice w zakresie sposobu przedstawiania świata, technik narracyjnych, poetyki i retoryki. W zakończeniu postawione zostaje pytanie o sposób czytania obu „ospowych opowieści” w okresie pandemii COVID-19. On Two Smallpox Stories (Read in the COVID World) Abstract: The article proposes a parallel, comparative reading of two texts: the Polish nonfiction story Zaraza (1965) by Jerzy Ambroziewicz and the English essay The Last Days of Smallpox: Tragedy in Birmingham (2018) by Mark Pallen. The texts discuss, respectively, a smallpox epidemic which took place in Wrocław (1963) and an outbreak of the same disease in Birmingham (1978). The present paper studies the similarities and discrepancies in the methods of describing the represented world, narrative techniques, poetics, and rhetoric. The final part of the paper poses the question of how both of these “smallpox stories” may be interpreted in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper looks at Joseph Chamberlain's Birmingham and claims that George Dawson's famous ‘civic gospel’ which laid the ground for the municipal reforms was permeated by a consensus view of the moral and civic role of art. It suggests that it was this combination of philosophy in action through art which created the special Birmingham context for a vibrant civic culture which led to the political and artistic achievements of the 1870s and 1880s. For a few brief years, this combination enabled Birmingham to stand above other British cities and lay claim to the titles of ‘the best-governed city in the world’ and ‘perhaps the most artistic town in England’.

Abstract (sommario):

The Annual World BioProtection Summit and Awards saw over 100 people return in a face-to-face capacity for the first time in three years on 23–24 May 2022 at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. Dr Sarah Harding, Communications Director at the World BioProtection Forum (WBF), welcomed participants and briefly explained the remit and recent achievements of the WBF, one of the organisers of the event. The WBF is a non-profit organisation founded by Dr Minshad Ansari in 2019 to connect the biocontrol industry and encourage collaboration between industry and academia, with the aim of connecting different stakeholders who can work together to ensure the successful development and commercialisation of biocontrol products. Achievements so far include the recruitment of more than 20 advisors, in addition to the board of directors, to help drive the organisation forwards, successful events, establishment of the Awards programme to cover the scope of biological in agriculture and a regulatory reform campaign started in 2021. Dr Harding finished her introduction by thanking the premium sponsors Bionema, gold sponsors Oro Agri, and other sponsors and exhibitors including AEH Innovative Hydrogel, Agri-TechE, AHDB, APIS, Dejex, Evonik, Fera, Koppert, Mathys & Squire, Medinbio, NPP, Sribio, UKRI, Valent BioSciences and Vigna Brasil. The event was officially opened by Dr Ansari, Founder & Chairman of the WBF, and CEO and Founder of Bionema Limited, who posed the question "Can two days change the trajectory of the biocontrol industry?" Dr Ansari said how delighted he was to see 18 countries represented at the event. The world continues to face unprecedented demands on food security with over $500 billion crop damage caused by pests and diseases annually, and whilst $80 billion is spent on chemical pesticides annually, concerns over the impacts on human health and the environment, especially in the EU is helping drive change such as the proposed 50% reduction in the use of chemical pesticides by 2030 and corresponding desire to increase the land under organic farming. Whilst the WBF is working to drive change, the biocontrol industry in the UK/EU continues to face challenges such as the long and costly regulatory process, higher unit price and limited products in the market slowing the adoption of biopesticides and continued concerns over variable efficacy. The conference was closed by Dr Ansari who thanked the speakers, sponsors and audience for their participation and attendance. He praised the excellent quality of the talks and thanked key individuals who helped put the event together. The take home message is that this event can be considered as a single conference, one-stop shop, including investor pitches, to connect the biocontrol industry and allow for successful commercialisation.

Abstract (sommario):

Located at the end of a quiet side street in the middle of Birmingham, the CBSO centre is the venue for many of BCMG's concerts throughout the year. If the venue seems somewhat hidden away, concealed behind a Victorian red brick façade, the music that takes place inside is certainly not insular. As one of the world's leading contemporary music ensembles, BCMG's longstanding commitment to commissioning new work, and to fostering relationships with composers, has continued since 2016 under the artistic directorship of Stephan Meier. The final UK concert of 2019, Migrating Sounds, provides clear evidence of the ensemble's aims. Of the four works performed, Richard Causton's Transients and Vito Žuraj's Tension for two ensembles were world premieres, Rebecca Saunders’ Scar was a UK premiere, and Shiori Usui's Deep was commissioned by BCMG in 2014. The pieces by Causton and Saunders were also ‘sound investment commissions’, part funded by many individuals who, in return for their support, receive various rewards, including rehearsal and reception invitations. The concert was conducted by Michael Wendeberg.

Abstract (sommario):

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's conductor, Sakari Oramo, took up the cause of the long-neglected and little-regarded British composer John Foulds (1880–1939) in the late 1990s, as soon as he was appointed to his present post. This February saw his most high-profile push on Foulds's behalf so far, with performances of three Foulds works – one of them a UK and concert première, another a world première – in three Symphony Hall concerts, two of them broadcast on BBC Radio 3. This was followed by a CD recording for Warner Classics of these three pieces plus a fourth, Foulds's early elegy for violin and orchestra, Apotheosis. Intervening in one of the pre-concert talks, Oramo stated his conviction that after decades of misunderstanding during his lifetime, and half a century of neglect thereafter, ‘we owe it to this remarkable composer to play his music – and play it often’. It is difficult to think that any London orchestra would dare to programme anything so distant from their narrow core repertoire and so utterly contrary to contemporary fashions. Yet three near-capacity audiences were plainly both surprised and enthralled by the music, and many members of the public expressed a desire to hear more.

Abstract (sommario):

Much has been written about the benefits of green infrastructure, but securing the resources necessary for its development and long-term maintenance is often difficult. This article’s premise is that, in general, people and organisations will take action to provide those resources when they can see value accruing to them; therefore narratives of value generation and capture (our definition of business models) are required to motivate and support that action. This article explores the application of soft systems methodology to the wicked problem of business model development in the context of a social enterprise, using a case study based on a piece of green infrastructure in the city of Birmingham, UK, called The Lost World. The research involved a workshop with several of The Lost World’s key stakeholders and aimed at identifying: The Lost World’s scope as a business; its potential value streams; and how they might be realised in a social enterprise. Analysis of the findings shows that while stakeholders can identify opportunities for their organisations, bringing those opportunities to fruition is difficult. The research demonstrates a compelling need for social entrepreneurs to act as catalysts and long-term enablers of the formulation and maintenance of businesses and business models—vital missing actors in the ambition to transform cityscapes.

Abstract (sommario):

Prior to the introduction of newborn screening, Phenylketonuria (PKU) was a devastating disorder with affected individuals usually committed to a life in care in large institutions (asylums). Newborn screening only began after it was shown that those with PKU could be treated with a modified diet and could subsequently lead normal lives. The first production of a diet and the demonstration of its effectiveness was thus a key milestone in the history of both PKU and newborn screening, and took place in Birmingham, UK, in 1951. The pioneers were a two-year-old girl called Sheila Jones, her mother Mary, and three dedicated professionals at Birmingham Children’s Hospital: Evelyn Hickmans, John Gerrard and Horst Bickel. Together, they changed the course of PKU for those across the world. This review summarises the history and achievements of this team who opened the door to PKU treatment and the introduction of newborn screening.

Abstract (sommario):

In this paper, I reflect on my experiences of teaching sociology of Islam atan elite British university: the University of Birmingham. As a trained economistwith postgraduate degrees in social science and sociology and as a formerWhitehall civil servant, my foray into the world of Islamic studies hasonly been recent. Indeed, it was the events relating to British Muslimminorities between 1999 and 2001 (namely, the arrests, trial, and sentencingin relation to the mostly Birmingham-born “Seven in Yemen” in 1999; the9/11 attacks in New York and Washington, DC; and the urban disturbancesin northern England 2001) that propelled me to interact with this vast andrich field of learning and scholarship. These three events compounded mattersin relation to identity politics, Islamism, and international political economy.Having already researched and written on matters related to educationand class,1 entrepreneurship and culture,2 and Islamophobia and the printnews,3 my new focus on Muslim minority issues stemmed precisely frommy existing interests in ethnicity, culture, and multiculturalism.4Upon joining the University of Birmingham in 2003, I spent my first twoyears concentrating on teaching a specialized course, “Ethnic Relations inBritain,” to finalists. In 2005, I began to teach a new course, “Islam, Multiculturalism,and the State” to finalists. In this article, I discuss the resultinginsight into teaching to a largely non-Muslim audience issues relating toIslam and Muslim minorities ...

Abstract (sommario):

Born into an assimilated Jewish family in Berlin in the early twentieth century, Rudolf Peierls studied theoretical physics with many of the greatest minds within the physics community, including Sommerfeld, Heisenberg, Pauli and Bohr. His Jewish background made a career in Germany all but impossible, and Rudolf Peierls and his Russian–born wife, Genia, settled in the UK, where Peierls took up a professorship in mathematical physics at Birmingham in 1937. Peierls's discovery, together with his Birmingham colleague Otto Frisch, of the theoretical feasibility of an atomic weapon based on a self–sustaining nuclear chain reaction was instrumental in the setting up of the UK government committee studying the possibility of manufacturing nuclear weapons. Peierls continued to contribute to the British and later to the British–American–Canadian effort to produce an atomic bomb, and he became group leader of the implosion group at Los Alamos. After the war Peierls returned to the UK and he built a world–class school of theoretical physics at Birmingham before moving on to Oxford in 1963. Like many of his colleagues who had contributed to the development of nuclear weapons, Peierls devoted much of his time and energy to the control of these weapons, to nuclear disarmament and to the promotion of greater understanding between East and West, most notably through his activities within the framework of the Pugwash Movement.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractThis article will reveal how local scientific determination and ambition, in the face of rejection by funders, navigated a path to success and to influence in national policy and international medicine. It will demonstrate that Birmingham, England's ‘second city’, was the key centre for cutting-edge biological psychiatry in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s. The ambitions of Frederick Mott – doyen of biochemistry, neuropathology and neuropsychiatry, until now celebrated as a London figure – to revolutionize psychiatric treatment through science, chimed with those of the City and University of Birmingham's Joint Board of Research for Mental Diseases. Under Mott's direction, shaped by place and inter-professional working, the board's collaborators included psychiatrist Thomas Chivers Graves and world-renowned physiologist J.S. Haldane. However, starved of external money and therefore fresh ideas, as well as oversight, the ‘groupthink’ that emerged created the classic UK focal sepsis theory which, it was widely believed, would yield a cure for mental illness – a cure that never materialized. By tracing the venture's growth, accomplishments and contemporary potential for biochemical, bacterial and therapeutic discoveries – as well as its links with scientist and key government adviser Solly Zuckerman – this article illustrates how ‘failure’ and its ahistorical assessment fundamentally obscure past importance, neglect the early promise offered by later unsuccessful science, and can even hide questionable research.

Abstract (sommario):

Background The World Database for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WDPCHS), sponsored by the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS), provides complex programmatic outcomes analyses for all members of the WSPCHS. Methods The Data center, currently at Kirklin Institute for Research in Surgical Outcomes (KIRSO), University of Alabama, Birmingham (USA), provides biannual reports to all active members of the database. This report presents a descriptive analysis of these procedures submitted from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. Results A total of 37,386 procedures were submitted with an overall mortality of 4.3%. The majority of submissions were from Asian countries. The majority of cases submitted from these countries were of Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (STAT) Mortality Categories I and II. Conclusions The WSPCHS accomplished one of its missions in 2017 when the WDPCHS began accepting data from pediatric and congenital heart surgery programs across the globe. In doing so, it became one of the first organizations to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience, regardless of the socioeconomic status of the particular program or country.

Abstract (sommario):

ABSTRACT The term ‘military geology’, translated from German after earlier use in French and Spanish publications, entered the English language via American publications from 1917 onwards, initially after the USA entered World War I. It was widely used in the USA and, in direct or indirect translation, in several European countries additional to Germany and Austria thereafter, but not in the United Kingdom—although military applications of geology had been perceived and utilized by the British Army for much of the previous century. However, the term was used and its scope defined on the basis of operational experience at a meeting in Brussels on 28 February to 1 March 1945 as World War II drew to an end, a meeting seemingly unique for the War in that it comprised five ‘British’ geologist officers of field rank: the South African Major Gordon Lyall Paver, English Major Frederick William Shotton, Australian-born but Canadian-educated English Major John Leonard Farrington, English Squadron Leader John Francis Kirkaldy, and Welsh Major David Ronald Arthur Ponsford. Their purpose was to review wartime use of ‘military geology’ in the British Army, and to make recommendations for a more efficient British military geological service in the future, especially in the Far East after the war in Europe entered its final phase. The meeting generated a four-page closely-typed unpublished ‘Memorandum: Military geology in the British services’ (now preserved in England in the Lapworth Museum at the University of Birmingham and in The National Archives, Kew, near London). This included a very brief summary of the British Army’s deployment of geologists within western Europe, East Africa, the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean region, and India. Those present brought together long experience from all these campaign areas except India (and the Far East in general). That deficiency was made good later in the year, on 7 December 1945, when Eric J. Bradshaw, Superintending Geologist of the Strategic Branch of the Geological Survey of India, completed an 81-page typed unpublished ‘Military geology: Memorandum of post-war policy’ (accessible in England at Birmingham, at Kew, and at the British Geological Survey, Keyworth). This with its 23 pages of appendices records details of wartime work in India and discussions held by the author there and in the United Kingdom following the end of hostilities in Europe on 8 May 1945. It re-defines the scope of ‘military geology’ for British armed forces in terms of water (resources, floods and drainage), stone and miscellaneous mineral resources, soils, engineering projects (reconnaissance, stability and excavations), terrain, ‘photo-geology’ and several miscellaneous applications. The memorandum proposed a grandiose organization of 151 geologist officers plus ancillary staff for British military geology postwar. That organizational scheme was not adopted—but by 1945 the term ‘military geology’ had clearly extended from American to significant British use.

Abstract (sommario):

Science interpretation in museums has, until now, largely focused on the products of science—the technological artefacts of our scientific past and the scientific phenomena presented in hands-on galleries. Little, if anything, is said about the process of science—what it is, how it's done, who does it, and why. For this reason, the Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry is planning a new gallery based on science itself. Science is... will interpret science from a cultural perspective by looking at how culture affects science, and how changes in scientific thought have changed our own views of ourselves and the world around us. The objectives of the exhibition are: to raise awareness that science is a key part of our culture; to increase understanding of the method, history and philosophy of science and the scientific community; and to promote realistic images of science and scientists. Using the example of the Copernican Revolution, part of the gallery will focus on changing ideas in science, how change is affected by culture, and the consequences of accepting new scientific theories.

Abstract (sommario):

Environmental justice is a rising social movement throughout the world. Research is beginning to define the movement and address the disparities that exist among communities exposed to pollution. North Birmingham, a community made up of six neighborhoods in Jefferson County, Alabama, in the United States, is a story of environmental injustice. Heavy industry, including the 35th Avenue Superfund Site, has caused significant environmental pollution over time, leaving residents concerned that their health and well-being are at risk from continued exposure. For years, pollution has impacted the community, and residents have fought and challenged industry and government. The United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and the Jefferson County Department of Health (JCDH) in Alabama have historically played a role in working with the community regarding their health concerns. In this manuscript, we describe a city entrenched in environmental injustice. We provide the history of the community, the responsible parties named for the contamination, the government’s involvement, and the community’s response to this injustice. Through this manuscript, we offer insight into a global concern that challenges local communities on a daily basis.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract. Air quality networks in cities can be costly and inconsistent and typically monitor a few pollutants. Space-based instruments provide global coverage spanning more than a decade to determine trends in air quality, augmenting surface networks. Here we target cities in the UK (London and Birmingham) and India (Delhi and Kanpur) and use observations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), ammonia (NH3) from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), formaldehyde (HCHO) from OMI as a proxy for non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for PM2.5. We assess the skill of these products at reproducing monthly variability in surface concentrations of air pollutants where available. We find temporal consistency between column and surface NO2 in cities in the UK and India (R = 0.5–0.7) and NH3 at two of three rural sites in the UK (R = 0.5–0.7) but not between AOD and surface PM2.5 (R < 0.4). MODIS AOD is consistent with AERONET at sites in the UK and India (R ≥ 0.8) and reproduces a significant decline in surface PM2.5 in London (2.7 % a−1) and Birmingham (3.7 % a−1) since 2009. We derive long-term trends in the four cities for 2005–2018 from OMI and MODIS and for 2008–2018 from IASI. Trends of all pollutants are positive in Delhi, suggesting no air quality improvements there, despite the roll-out of controls on industrial and transport sectors. Kanpur, identified by the WHO as the most polluted city in the world in 2018, experiences a significant and substantial (3.1 % a−1) increase in PM2.5. The decline of NO2, NH3, and PM2.5 in London and Birmingham is likely due in large part to emissions controls on vehicles. Trends are significant only for NO2 and PM2.5. Reactive NMVOCs decline in Birmingham, but the trend is not significant. There is a recent (2012–2018) steep (> 9 % a−1) increase in reactive NMVOCs in London. The cause for this rapid increase is uncertain but may reflect the increased contribution of oxygenated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household products, the food and beverage industry, and domestic wood burning, with implications for the formation of ozone in a VOC-limited city.

Abstract (sommario):

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a T-cell dependent B-cell mediated autoimmune disease targeting neuro- muscular junction.Rituximab is a chimeric CD20 monoclonal antibody which gives consistently high response rates in anti- Muscle Specific Kinase antibody positive MG. In contrast, the response rates were variable for anti-Ace- tylcholine Receptor antibody positive MG.NHS approved use of rituximab in specific circumstances in Myasthenia patients since 2019. Our NHS regional refractory MG clinic reviewed 15 patients who received Rituximab from 2019 to 2021. 14 were anti-AchR positive and 1 was anti-LRP4 positive. 7 had severe disease (MGFA Class IV/V). 12 had had prednisolone and at least 2 other immunosuppressants.9 received standard Rituximab regime of 2 doses of 1 Gram 2-weeks apart. 6 received more than 2 doses due to unsatisfactory clinical improvement or relapse. From an average of 10% before treatment, periph- eral CD19+ B cell depletion to 0% was achieved in all although 3 had reappearance with one needing retreatment due to an accompanying clinical relapse.OutcomeEfficacy in MGFA Post-Intervention Status: 2 achieved Minimal Manifestations-3, 2 >50% Improved, 5 <50% Improved, 5 Unchanged and 1 Worse.SafetyNone experienced side effects.Further analysis of steroid dose reduction and long-term outcome is currently being undertaken.

The world première of Dominic Muldowney's Second Piano Concerto on 7 November came as part of a concert marking the 80th birthday of the BBC. The work was fashioned for Angela Hewitt, who was accompanied by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin. Hewitt's core repertoire of Bach, Ravel and Messiaen was reflected in the style of Muldowney's new piece, which married Classical with neo-Classical idioms yet at the same time sounded thoroughly post-modern in its cheerful eclecticism, witty sidesteps and theatrical leaps of imagination.

Abstract (sommario):

Since 9/11, there has been a remarkable growth in the study of Islam inhigher education. Whereas a decade earlier many universities were eager toclose down or at best amalgamate their Islamic studies programs into largerdepartments, there is now an urgency on the part of academic administratorsto begin teaching about and encouraging research on Islam. Not onlyis there a demand from students, but there is also an understanding thatIslam, as a religion and a social force, will continue to have an impact onglobal and domestic realities for the foreseeable future. However, there hasbeen little discussion about how to approach the study of Islam, given thecurrent political climate.The Islam in Higher Education conference, organized by theAssociation of Muslim Social Scientists UK (AMSS-UK) in conjunctionwith the Centre for the Study of Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations(CSIC) at the University of Birmingham and the Higher EducationAcademy Subject Centre for Philosophical and Religious Studies, was heldon 29-30 January 2005. It encouraged participants to engage in a criticalanalysis and dialogue concerning the status of the study of Islam in highereducation, employability and recruitment, academic standards and pedagogy,the depiction of Islam and Muslims in higher education, and comparativeinternational approaches to Islam in higher education.In opening the conference, CSIC’s Bustami Khir, senior lecturer inIslamic studies, spoke of the critical role that such events could play inshaping the future of the study of Islam and Muslims in the UnitedKingdom. Michael Clarke (vice principal, University of Birmingham) discussedthe city as a historical space of interaction between religion andmodernity in an industrializing world. He added that with over 140,000Muslims residing in the city, Birmingham was set to become the firstmajority non-white city in the United Kingdom and that the city could notbe understood without reference to its faith communities ...

Abstract (sommario):

This article explores the world of the evacuee represented as a fantasy experience in Steven Poliakoff's television drama Perfect Strangers. Through the story, told in flashback, of two young girls evacuated from Birmingham to North Wales during the Second World War, Poliakoff does not present a realistic and factual account of this childhood trauma, but adopts visual strategies wrought from the imagination to articulate the emotions of displacement. The article argues, drawing on the work of Hamid Naficy, that the drama exhibits an ‘accented’ style – one which connotes a nostalgic yearning for the homeland and land of birth and which is particularly associated with diasporic, exilic and ethnic directors. Poliakoff is a second-generation immigrant and, arguably, implicit in his work is a visual approach associated with the transitional and the dislocating. The visual style of this drama is not rooted in mere escapism but is that of the displaced settler, the subject searching for security and protection.

Abstract (sommario):

The cavity magnetron was invented in Birmingham University and developed by the GEC for centimetric radar in World War II. Its existence was kept secret, and its deployment was delayed, in the belief that as soon as it was used the enemy would be able to adopt the technique both in radar and in countermeasures. The H 2 S radar using the cavity magnetron was first used in January 1943, and a Stirling bomber with H 2 S crashed a few nights later near Rotterdam. The radar equipment was recovered almost intact by Telefunken engineers. The author of a German report on the equipment, Otto Hachenberg, subsequently became a colleague of the present author in radio astronomy. He died in 2001 and his report of May 1943 was discovered among his papers. It reveals that the principle of the cavity magnetron was already well known in Germany, based on work published in Leningrad in 1936. The most serious effect of the delay in deployment of the magnetron in centimetric radar was in the anti–U–boat campaign, in which the new centimetric radar became the main contributor to the successful end of the Battle of the Atlantic.

Abstract Study aim: To analyse the distribution of effort in the 800 m event at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in London 2017 (outdoor, 44 men, 45 women) and in Birmingham 2018 (indoor, 9 men, 14 women). Material and methods: A total of 187 individual performances during heats, semi-finals, and finals were analysed. The official split times of each athlete every 100 m were taken as reference for the analysis of: times; percentages of times in regard to the final time; speed; changes in position during the races; percentage deviations in terms of the average time per race per section of 100, 200 and 400 m. Results: There are different strategies used in the elite 800m race that are related to sex differences, the management of energy consumption and the differences and similarities between indoor and outdoor races. Conclusions: Although diverse pacing strategies exist, more balanced strategies, after a fast start, have better results.

The history of medical centers, hospitals, clinics, and their evolution are important contributions and resources to medical history. Likewise, evolution of specialties within these healthcare centers frequently parallels their growth and development. This contribution depicts the evolution of a specialty, vascular surgery, within a major medical center, the University of Alabama at Birmingham. It recounts the major participants involved and their contributions and pioneering efforts, some of which have received little attention or were overshadowed by other events. Perspectives from participants—a patient and a trainee—provide insight into this process that has supported the growth and development of a major world-class medical center.

Gambling research in Canada Professor Fiona Nicoll from the University of Alberta and Professor Kate Bedford from the University of Birmingham delve into gambling research in Canada, emphasizing the need to widen the lens. The gambling landscape has changed radically in Canada, as in many other countries around the world. Gambling is no longer a spatially and temporally bound activity: it is available anywhere, anytime, on a mobile device. In light of growing concerns about the harms associated with liberalizing online gambling and sports betting, there is an urgent need to take stock of recent developments and debate the next steps comprehensively, using the full range of research into gambling harms.
