Abstract:

In August 1984 Mr James Rickett, using a metal detector adjacent to a public footpath in a wood near Dinnington, South Yorkshire, found a bronze torc. Recognizing it as an important find he promptly took it into Sheffield City Museum, Weston Park. Subsequently the landowners, Mr and Mrs J. H. Morrell, generously donated the torc to the Museum (Accession no. SHEFM:1984.515). Later a careful survey was made of the wood by staff of Sheffield City Museums and the South Yorkshire Archaeology Unit.

Abstract:

In this paper the export dynamics of firms in a traditional industrial setting during recession is examined in a manner which explicitly interprets exporting as part of an ongoing internationalization process. The analysis is based on a survey of sixty-five firms in the Sheffield region of South Yorkshire. Although the export performance of these firms varied considerably between 1979 and 1981, net exports declined sharply and the European Economic Community, in particular, remains a difficult market for Sheffield firms to penetrate. Finally, restructuring plans must necessarily address the question of foreign competition.

Abstract:

This paper provides new conceptual and empirical insights into the role city-regions play as part of a geopolitical strategy deployed by the nation state to enact its own interests, in conversation with local considerations. Emphasis falls on the performative roles of economic models and spatial-economic imaginaries in consolidating and legitimising region-building efforts and the strategies and tactics employed by advocates to gain credibility and traction for their chosen imaginaries. We focus on the Sheffield City Region and Doncaster within it (South Yorkshire, England) drawing on 56 in-depth interviews with local policymakers, civic institutions and private sector stakeholders conducted between 2015 and 2018. In doing so, we identify three overlapping phases in the building of the Sheffield City Region: a period of initial case-making to build momentum behind the Sheffield City Region imaginary; a second of concerted challenge from alternative imaginaries; and a third where the Sheffield City Region was co-constituted alongside the dominant alternative One Yorkshire imaginary. Our work suggests that the city-region imaginary has gained traction and sustained momentum as national interests have closed down local resistance to the Sheffield City Region. This has momentarily locked local authorities into a preferred model of city-regional devolution but, in playing its hand, central government has exposed city-region building as a precarious fix where alternative imaginaries simply constitute a ‘deferred problem’ for central government going forward.

Abstract:

Hull or Kingston-upon-Hull is a port upon the River Hull. With a population of over 300,000, it is the fourth biggest city in Yorkshire (after Leeds, Sheffield, and Bradford) and the fifteenth biggest in Britain. Yet its name, like those of other English cities (London, Manchester, Leeds, York, Doncaster), has lacked rational explanation until lately. In 2018 the writer proposed that Hull is not (as long asserted) called after the River Hull, supposedly with an obscure pre-English name. The river is instead called after the town, because Hull derives not from some opaque Celtic hydronym but from Old English hula ‘sheds, huts’. Hull is thus a greater namesake of (Much) Hoole ‘shed(s)’ south-west of Preston, Lancashire.1 As for the River Hull, its old name may have been Leven ‘smooth one’, still that of a village near its source. The original account being a summary one, what follows presents the case in detail.Keywords: Hull; place-names; Old English; Celtic

Abstract:

AbstractDrawing on evidence from research interviews, workers’ memoirs, oral histories, and a range of secondary sources, the development of popular workers’ education is traced over a thirty year period, 1955 to 1985, and is rooted in the proletarian culture of South Yorkshire, UK. The period is seen as an historical conjuncture of Left social movements (trade unions, the Communist and Labour parties, tenants’ movements, movements of working-class women, and emerging autonomous black movements) in a context of trade union militancy and New Left politics. The Sheffield University extramural department, the South Yorkshire Workers' Educational Association (WEA), and the public intellectuals they employ as tutors and organizers are embedded in the politics and actions of the labor movement in the region, some becoming Labour MPs. They develop distinctive programs of trade union day release courses and labor movement organizations (Institute for Workers' Control, Conference of Socialist Economists, Society for the Study of Labour History). Workers involved in the process of popular workers' education become organic intellectuals having key roles in local and national politics, in the steel and miners' strikes of the 1980s, and in the formation of Northern College. The article draws on the language and insights of Raymond Williams and Antonio Gramsci through the lens of social movement theory and the praxis of popular education.

Abstract:

Community nursing caseloads are vast, with differing complexities. The Sheffield Caseload Classification Tool (SCCT) was co-produced with community nurses and nurse managers to help assign patients on a community caseload according to nursing need and complexity of care. The tool comprises 12 packages of care and three complexities. The present study aimed to test the inter-rater reliability of the tool. This was a table top validation exercise conducted in one city in South Yorkshire. A purposive sample of six community nurses assessed 69 case studies using the tool and assigned a package of care and complexity of need to each. These were compared with pre-determined answers. Cronbach's alpha for the care package was 0.979, indicating very good reliability, with individual nurse reliability values also being high. Fleiss's kappa coefficient for the care packages was 0.771, indicating substantial agreement among nurses; it was 0.423 for complexity ratings, indicating moderate agreement. The SCCT can reliably assign patients to the appropriate skilled nurse and care package. It helps prioritise and plan a community nursing caseload, ensuring efficient use of staff time to deliver appropriate care to patients with differing needs.

Abstract:

This paper argues that city-region building debates and relatedly “post-political” literatures are missing critical perspectives on the state, particularly the state’s continued existence as a social relation and an arena for politics, its role in the regulation of uneven development and the conflicts and struggles that arise from this. The paper brings the state centrally into “post-political” debates via a critical analysis of the interrelationships between depoliticization and neoliberalism. Focusing on Sheffield (South Yorkshire, England) in the context of devolution and deal-making public policy, the paper explores the seemingly consensual vision-making dynamics of this city region and dissects the tensions around economic governance, welfare austerity and social inequalities to get a handle on the “post-political” depoliticized state in, and of, contemporary capitalism.

Abstract:

The Ibberson Laboratory is a centre established at the University of Sheffield, partly financed by the European Community's Regional Development Fund (ERDF), to provide support for manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the South Yorkshire region of the UK. Initiated in November 1998, the Laboratory aids firms by providing technical expertise and access to advanced manufacturing equipment and manpower. These are applied in graduate placements and short-term projects that focus on new product/process development and technology transfer. This paper describes the background to the project and details the objectives, structure and operation of the Laboratory. A typical project scenario is outlined and the performance measures to be achieved in meeting the requirements of ERDF funding are discussed. Finally, the progress of the Ibberson Laboratory towards meeting these measures is reported.

Abstract:

This paper examines the intersection between food, recollection and Irish migrants’ reconstructions of their housing pathways in the three English cities of Leicester (East Midlands), Sheffield (South Yorkshire) and Manchester (North). Previous studies have acknowledged more implicitly the role of memory in representing the Irish migrant experience in England. Here, we adopt a different stance. We explore the mnemonic power of food to encode, decode and recode Irish men’s reconstructions of their housing pathways in England when constructing and negotiating otherness. In doing so, we apply a ‘Proustian anthropological’ approach in framing the men’s representations of their formative residential experiences in the boarding houses of the three English cities during the 1950s and 1960s are examined. The extent to which food provided in the boarding houses was used as an instrument of discipline and control is examined. The relevance of food related acts of resistance, food insecurity and acts of hedonic meat-centric eating in constructing the men’s sociocultural identity are also explored.

Abstract:

AimsTo offer regular continuous professional development opportunities covering both clinical and non-clinical skills to trainees and trainers and enhance their experience and skills to increase their wellbeing and resilience.BackgroundThere are approximately 50,000 doctors undertaking postgraduate training in England. Of these, 10% (5000) are taking approved time out of training at any time. A 2017 HEE survey revealed that doctors returning to work reported numerous concerns. Based on these and with the backdrop of the Bawa-Gaba case HEE's Supported return to Training programme (SuppoRTT) was developed.We at Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust devised a unique “Mindful SuppoRTT” initiative and were successful in securing funding from HEE. Part of which was the organisation of a conference aimed at various groups of doctors including those who have previously had time out of training, are currently out of training and those considering time out.The Sheffield Mindful SuppoRTT Programme not only aimed to provide a structured and systematic process for planning and returning from absence, but also focussed on enhancing performance through promoting the wellbeing of participants and supporting them with important clinical and non-clinical skills.Method2-day twice yearly conferences, which covered training on speciality specific as well as non-technical skills were organised. The clinical workshops covered interactive sessions of common and emergency clinical scenarios. A wide range of non-technical skills such as an introduction to mindfulness, tai chi, resilience, team-working and leadership, “Thinking Environment” and meditation were introduced and developed using bespoke training. Feedback was collected at the end of each conference day. The attendees were asked to use a 5-point Likert scale (5 being the highest) to rate their satisfaction with the day and to highlight which sessions they found most and least useful.ResultThe attendee satisfaction rate was high. The first conference had ratings of 56% of attendees scoring 5 (excellent) and the remainder scoring 4 (very good). The second conference achieved even higher satisfaction ratings with 94% of attendees scoring 5 and the remainder scoring 4.ConclusionThe conference had high attendee satisfaction. The hope is to expand on its success and open it up to delegates from all specialities within HEE South Yorkshire and the Humber. Evaluation of the long-term impact of this programme is also warranted.

Abstract:

BackgroundDrug poisoning deaths in England and Wales have increased by 52% since 2011 with over half involving opioids. Deaths are preventable if naloxone is administered in time. Take Home Naloxone (THN) kits have been distributed through drug services; however, uptake is low and effectiveness unproven. The TIME trial tests the feasibility of conducting a full randomised controlled trial of providing THN administration and basic life support training to high-risk opioid-users in emergency care settings.MethodsA multi-site feasibility trial commenced in June 2019 with two hospitals and their surrounding ambulance services (Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI) with South Western Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) and Hull Royal Infirmary with Yorkshire Ambulance Service) randomly allocated to intervention arms; and sites in Wrexham and Sheffield allocated as ‘usual care’ controls. SWASFT began recruiting in October 2019 with the aim of recruiting and training 50% (n=111) of paramedics working within the BRI’s catchment area, to supply THN to at least 100 eligible patients during a 12-month period.ResultsThe trial was suspended between 17.03.2020-06.08.2020 and extended to 01.03.2021 (COVID-19). Despite this, 121 SWASFT paramedics undertook TIME training. TIME trained paramedics attended 30% (n=57) of the n=190 opioid-related emergency calls requiring naloxone administration during the study period. A total of n=29 potentially eligible patients were identified before and n=28 after the COVID-19 suspension. Two patients were supplied with THN during each period. During the COVID-19 suspension, twenty-two potentially eligible patients were missed. The majority of eligible patients presented with a reduced consciousness level, preventing recruitment (73%; n=42/48). These patients were transported to hospital for further treatment (n=39) or died on scene following advanced life support (n=3).ConclusionsThe lowered consciousness levels of prehospital emergency ambulance patients who present with opioid poisoning, often prevent the delivery of training required to enable the supply of THN.

Abstract:

In 2017, a team from the Wessex Archaeology Sheffield office investigated a site, Hollis Croft (NGR 434990 387580), prior to the construction of a multi-million pound commercial and student housing development. Hollis Croft is one of many Sheffield’s sites where well-preserved industrial archaeology survives beneath the modern buildings. Historic building recording was followed by a watching brief, a scheme of archaeological evaluation trenching and then strip, map and sample excavations, which revealed substantial 18th-/19th-century remains of steel conversion furnaces (both cementation and crucible, constructed by Burgin and Wells and W. Fearnehough Ltd respectively). We also discovered metres of entwined brick-built flues (likely related to later steelmaking methods such as the Siemens-Martin open hearth process or Bessemer process), traces of two pubs (The Cock and The Orange Branch) and a wide range of finds – all indicative of the industrial processes and the everyday lives of the workers. Apart from the discovery of a crozzle layer covering the entire interior of the furnace (not just its base as previously thought), and the detailed impressions of the ferrous bars visible in the surface of the crozzle layer, the remains were very familiar for Sheffield and industrial archaeology. The post-excavation processes were carried out as usual following industry standards. All our findings have been brought together in a final report held in the digital archive and the physical archive (including the finds) was subsequently deposited with Museums Sheffield under SHEFM:2019.13 and Sheffield Archives. This publication is based on that final report, but edited and updated, so there are some minor differences between the documents. But, inspired by a great deal of public interest during the excavations (and Mili's love for comics), a comic book has also been created and is published here alongside what would otherwise be a more traditional offering.

Abstract:

John Douglas Eshelby, or ‘Jock’ as he came to be known to a wide circle of scientists and engineers throughout the world, was born at Puddington in Cheshire on 21 December 1916 and died suddenly in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, on 10 December 1981. His father, Alan Douglas Eshelby, was a regular army officer who rose to the rank of Captain but was invalided out after rheumatic fever. As a major, he was the commanding officer of the local detachment of the Home Guard during World War II, when the family lived in Somerset at the Manor House, Farrington Gumey. He died in 1952 near Ballachulish in Scotland. Jock’s paternal grandfather was Henry Douglas Eshelby, F.S.A., of Birkenhead. He published privately in 1891 a small book entitled Genealogy of the family of De Eskelby or Exelby of the North Riding of the County of York , the first part of this work being a reprint of a paper he contributed to the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal in 1889.

Abstract:

John Philip ‘Phil’ Grime developed fundamental theory in plant ecology that emerged from a lifetime of fieldwork and experimental studies in the Sheffield region, South Yorkshire, UK. His approach was an unusual combination of observation, experiment and theory: he conducted detailed, intensive observations of natural communities, alongside experimental manipulation of those communities and simulated ‘microcosms’ in the service of formulating general rules (‘strategies’) by which plants evolve with respect to their environment. In this way, Grime was one of several key figures that propelled plant ecology away from descriptive methods focusing on vegetation composition and toward a science more integrated with other fields, including evolutionary biology and Earth science. Grime's investigative approach was an inspiration for the modern field of global change biology, and, by focusing on understanding the contrasting roles species and their traits play in the functioning of ecosystems, marked the beginning of the field of plant functional ecology. For much of his career Grime held the post of full professor (and in retirement, emeritus professor of ecology) at the University of Sheffield, where he also served as the director of the Unit of Comparative Plant Ecology and of the Buxton Climate Change Impacts Laboratory. Awarded an honorary doctorate by Radboud University (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and a foreign membership of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, Grime was the first person awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Award of the International Association for Vegetation Science.
