Abstract:

When J. M. Turner came to make his sketches of Stonyhurst Hall and the neighbouring church at Great Mitton, for the first time in 1799, he was immediately struck by the melancholia and faded splendour of that part of ‘darkest’ rural Lancashire. Perched high upon the brow of Longridge, the mansion commanded sweeping views of the valley beneath, of Pendle Hill and of the distant market town of Clitheroe; while the thirteenth century church of All Hallows—almost lost in the folds of the countryside—sat squatly on the borders of Lancashire and Yorkshire, at the confluence of the Rivers Calder, Ribble and Hodder, and served as a stubborn reminder of an earlier and less secular age. Relatively untouched by the forces of industrialisation, these buildings proved a delight to the Gothic imagination of the young artist.

Abstract:

Among the papers of the Blundell family of Little Crosby, Lancashire, are two dramatic sketches entitled ‘An Exercise to Embolden the Children in Speaking’ and ‘Children Emboldened to Speak. By an Exercise’. They were written by William Blundell, recusant, royalist and Lancashire gentleman, in 1663 and 1665 for his daughters and their cousins to perform, probably at Christmas family gatherings. Humorously mingling Catholic catechesis, social education, the exercise of parental authority and childish misbehaviour, these sketches open a rare window onto the life of a Catholic household in the Restoration era. They offer an opportunity to explore the household as the location for the practice and appropriation of religion.

Abstract:

Prostoma jenningsi was first recorded at the Clay ‘Ole pond in Lancashire, UK, in 1969 and was distinguished histologically from other Prostoma by the presence of 11 proboscidial nerves (with all other Prostoma species thought to have 9-10). P. jenningsi was considered to be the only species endemic to Lancashire and listed in the British Red Data Book as ‘Insufficiently Known’ as well as a ‘Species of Principal Importance’ under the UK Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006). A limited number of Prostoma spp were recovered from the Clay ‘Ole in 2011 (the first confirmation of the presence of Prostoma spp. since 1999). In 2015, further sampling was undertaken and expanded to other ponds in Lancashire resulting in the discovery of Prostoma spp. at a further 3 locations. Thereafter, DNA sequencing of nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA and mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) genes were undertaken and phylogenetic analyses performed to establish the taxonomic status of recovered specimens. All available Prostoma sequences (Prostoma eilhardi and Prostoma graecense) were downloaded from GenBank® and Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) databases for comparison. All 18S sequences from samples in Lancashire were identical to each other and to all downloaded Prostoma sequences, allowing no further analyses. With COI, 50 individuals were collected from 4 locations across Lancashire and sequenced, comparing a total of 480 base pairs. Average uncorrected p-distances between UK and European samples were low, although some more geographically distant samples from California, USA, displayed higher uncorrected p-distance values. Results suggest that the Prostoma recovered from the Clay ‘Ole (and all other sampled locations in Lancashire) are not distinct from P. eilhardi and P. graecense (as downloaded from GenBank® and BOLD) suggesting that there is a strong case for the species status of P. jenningsi to be revoked. Further regional and national sampling is required to obtain a clearer evaluation of the distribution of Prostoma and the levels of genetic diversity present in the UK. In addition, results from this study indicate that thorough taxonomical re-evaluation of species within the Prostoma genus is required.

Abstract:

AbstractThe recognition of the importance of evaluating the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia highlighted the importance ofdeveloping appropriate instruments. In this paper we review the available quality of life instruments focusing on their conceptual framework, structure, administration and psychometric properties. First, we address the generic instruments that have been validated for schizophrenic populations, namely the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL), the Medical Outcome Study (MOS) 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the EuroQoL-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D). Then, we focus on instruments that have been specifically developed for patients with schizophrenia and other or severe mentally illness such as the Quality of Life Scale (QLS), the Quality of Life Interview (QoLI), the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (LQoLP), the Sevilla Quality of Life Questionnaire (SQLQ), the Personal Evaluation of Transitions in Treatment (PETIT), and the Quality of Life Questionnaire in Schizophrenia (S-QoL).

Abstract:

The aim of this study of Up holland in Lancashire is to investigate the late-medieval and Tudor community, to understand the landscape in which this community operated and to assess the impact of marginality on society and economy. Upholland lay within the agricultural fringe in respect of its soils and straddled the geographical interface between lowland wetlands on the Lancashire plain and elevated land on the Billinge-Parbold ridge. It was a peripheral place, too, as regards its positions on the western edge of Wig an parish and on the eastern border of West Derby hundred. Despite its undoubted marginality, there are indications for great stability in its boundary, for ancient settlement patterns and for clearance levels remaining fairly constant between the Iron Age and the early-modern period. Because several tracts of ancient woodland survived into Tudor times and as most soils in this township were wet and/or infertile, farming life was based on the wood-pasture economy. Upholland farmers made the best possible use of their resources and diversified into rural crafts, such as tanning, carpentry, and the ferrous metal industry. There is a particularly early example of a water-powered bloomery in the demesne. Upholland was arguably part of a multiple estate in the pre-Conquest period. It was held in thegnage in 1066. Under the later manorial system the township had powerful lords in the de Holands, the Lords Lovell and the Earls of Derby. Only the former, however, were resident. Their status symbols included a castle, two large parks, a warren and a priory. Despite this emergence of power, tenants enjoyed autonomy and security of tenure. Their dispersed homesteads lay amidst enclosed fields and there was an absence of communal organisation in agriculture. Many copyhold families were long established by the sixteenth century and well aware of their ancient rights. When the second Earl of Derby tried to impose more-stringent tenurial conditions, several copyholders took their case to the Court of Star Chamber. Tenant independence is also seen in local government. Although this institution was presided over by the lord's steward, community regulation was effectively in the hands of a tenant elite. Tenant holdings tended to be small although disparkment and shrinkage of population after the Black Death made way for the creation of larger allotments. Population recovery by the mid-sixteenth century led to expansion by 1600, an increase largely due to the growth of leasehold properties in the former parks and in the waste. Upholland lay within a part of Lancashire that was relatively rich by the 1540s. Growing commercialisation is evident in the trading centre present by 1599. This study demonstrates how independence and skilful use of the environment can turn marginality into advantage. It shows, too, how the fringe can provide quality of life.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to develop the Taiwanese version of Lancashire Quality of Life Profile. This scale combine objective and subjective measures in nine life domains: work, leisure, religion, finance, living situation, legal and safety, family relations, social relations, health, general well-being, affect, and self-concept. We established the reliability and validity of the Taiwanese version of this scale, and found the relationship between the demographic factors, psychotic symptoms, care settings, and quality of life in schizophrenia. The data were collected by conducting structured interview with 100 subjects purposively sampled who were admitted to the rehabilitation center or outpatients at a university hospital in Taipei. We tested psychometric properties which included internal consistency, criterion -related validity, construct validity, and discriminate validity. Thirty patients were interviewed again within 2 weeks to verify test-retest reliability. The result showed that： 1. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) of the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) was good at 0.87, and that the sub-scales ranged from 0.53-0.82 for the nine domains. The test-retest reliability ICC score for LSS was good at 0.91, and the nine subjective quality of life (QOL) domain sub-scales it range from 0.60-0.92. 2. We used SF-36 and three items from Lancashire Quality of Life Profile as the criterion-related validity tool. The Taiwanese version of Lancashire Quality of Life Profile had significant correlations with the two scales. 3. Exploratory factory analysis revealed six factors： family relations, health and safety, finance, autonomy and well-being, social relations, and leisure. These six factors can explain 54.14% of the variance. 4. Multiple domains and sub-scale could significantly discriminate severity of psychotic symptoms and subjective quality of life correlations, except for work and family domains. 5. In nine subjective QOL domains, highest satisfaction domain was family relations, and lowest satisfaction domains were work and finance. Between those who were admitted to the rehabilitation center and who were followed at outpatient center, there were significant different in three domains of subjective QOL (living situation, social relations, and health), life at present score, total subjective QOL score and two domain sub-scales of objective QOL (work and finance). 6. Multiple regression model revealed that the best factors of predicting subjective quality of life were emotion symptoms, care setting, age range of 20-30, separated marital status, and negative symptoms. This model explained 45.5% of variance. The study result cold contribute to the evaluation of subjective and objective QOL in patients with schizophrenia and being used as basis of future local data gathering, cross-cultural comparison, and establishment of psychiatric care policy.

Abstract:

Chapter 5 sees the parish as a platform for belonging, and sport and custom as celebrations of that belonging. It opens with Edwin Butterworth, a well-connected journalist working for Edward Baines, the radical newspaper owner, who was writing a history of Lancashire. Charged in 1835 with surveying a county deep in the throes of industrialization, and keen to establish the state of ‘Customs, Habits, &c’, Butterworth’s findings do not show the sudden death of parochial custom any more than they show the rising up of a great new factory system. Instead, they show parochial culture dying in some places but flourishing (and changing) in others. The chapter goes on to look more widely at how this old parochial culture had bound people to their sense of place—what the old Poor Law called ‘settlement’. At the same time the chapter notes how from the 1830s to the 1880s, the welfare functions that had underpinned settlement were being removed and given to quasi-national bodies. Apart from Church of England clergy who were not quite insiders or outsiders, the parish had insiders who were enemies as well. Primitive Methodists were anti-sport and counter-parochial for all of the nineteenth century. They brought disruption with a new kind of belonging.

Abstract:

In the second half of the nineteenth century two prominent scientists, working in two distinct specialties, identified the importance of atmospheric trace constituents as efficient absorbers of long-wave radiation and as factors in climatic control. John Tyndall conducted the first convincing experiments on the radiative properties of gases, demonstrating that “perfectly colorless and invisible gases and vapours” were able to absorb and emit radiant heat. Svante Arrhenius, in pursuing his interests in meteorology and cosmic physics, demonstrated that variations of atmospheric CO2 concentration could have a very great effect on the overall heat budget and surface temperature of the planet. It would be a mistake, however, to consider either of these individuals as direct forerunners or prophets of contemporary climate concerns. Each of them had extremely broad scientific interests and pursued climate-related research as one interest among many. Tyndall worked on absorption in the near infrared at temperatures far above those of the terrestrial environment. Arrhenius, who has recently gained renewed attention as the “father” of the theory of the greenhouse effect, held assumptions and produced results that are not continuous with present-day climate research. . . . The solar heat possesses, in a far higher degree than that of lime light, the power of crossing an atmosphere; but, when the heat is absorbed by the planet, it is so changed in quality that the rays emanating from the planet cannot get with the same freedom back into space. Thus the atmosphere admits of the entrance of the solar heat, but checks its exit; and the result is a tendency to accumulate heat at the surface of the planet. —John Tyndall (1859). . . John Tyndall was born in Leighlin Bridge, County Carlow, Ireland, on August 2, 1820, the son of a part-time shoemaker and constable. He attended the national school in Carlow and, at the age of eighteen, joined the Irish Ordnance Survey as a draftsman and surveyor. In 1842, as the Irish survey neared completion, Tyndall was transferred to the English Survey at Preston, Lancashire, but due to his protests against the survey’s oppressive policies and incompetent management, he was dismissed.

Abstract:

One of the essential elements for safe operation of a nuclear licensed site is the availability to the licensee in sufficient numbers of suitably qualified and experienced people to carry out and manage the operations and associated design work. In the last few years, there have been a number of reports to illustrate the recent and current problems of recruiting such people to work in the traditional locations for nuclear personnel in the North-West of England. Concern for the immediate future is exacerbated by a peculiar demographic of the people currently employed in positions demanding higher level skills. In response to the growing realization that there is an impending skills gap that needs to be filled, Sellafield Limited’s Talent Management team (and latterly with support of the NDA) have been working with a number of education and training providers to put in place bespoke courses aimed at overcoming this shortage. In the absence of a steady stream of willing graduates from technical and management courses, the primary strategy has been to encourage life-long learning and up-skilling amongst its employees, targeting those who, for whatever reason upon leaving school, missed their opportunity to study and progress to train at a high level, but who possess that potential and have now developed a keenness to proceed with that study in later life. One Foundation Degree has been selected for development of a unique approach to higher education. The work of University of Central Lancashire and its West-Cumbrian education and training partners has featured as a case study in other media, but this paper reports on a fresh development within that work: co-delivery. Co-delivery relates to a partnership of educationalists and industrialists, with an emphasis on industrial numbers on the course development steering group. The means by which a significant proportion of the course is strongly workplace related are presented and the benefits and problems that this introduces are discussed. The course uses the industry as a vehicle to communicate concepts and develop problem-solving skills. Rather than the major vocational aspects being confined to just a few ‘workplace’ modules, the industry permeates all modules and co-delivery is part of a good many. A report is also made on the areas of provision where the major capability and expertise is located in just a few industrialists; and how that aspect is learned within a co-delivery course.
