Countering the passive representation of rivers in many previous accounts of later prehistory – as static vessels for spectacular deposits, highways for transport and communication, and backdrops for settlement and farming – this paper asks if and how rivers actively shaped prehistoric lives. Rivers have long been hailed as conduits for prehistoric materials and ideas. However, positive archaeological correlates of the processes involved are notoriously difficult to identify and have rarely been scrutinised in detail. Using the example of Late Bronze and Early Iron Age pottery in the east of England (1150–350 bc), we examine in detail how prehistoric pottery-making traditions cohered around river valleys over an extended time period and were thus, to a certain extent, generated by rivers. Drawing on wider evidence for the flow of people and things in this region we build a broader multi-dimensional account of how people, objects, and practices moved in a period of diverse lifeways in which the makeup of human mobility is not well understood. In doing so, we hope to tether abstract arguments about the active role of rivers and other non-human elements in shaping past lives and to approach the often missing ‘middle ground’ – small-scale movements at local and regional scales – in existing archaeological discussions about mobility.

Objective
To undertake a technical review of the search interface of the ISPOR Presentations Database. By technical review, we mean an evaluation of the technical aspects of the search interface and functionality, which a user must navigate to complete a search.
MethodsA validated checklist (Bethel and Rogers, 2014, Health Info Libr J, 31, 43-53) was used to identify where the interface performed well, where the interface was adequate, where the interface performed poorly, where functionality available in core biomedical bibliographic databases does not exist in the ISPOR database, and to establish a list of any issues arising during the review. Two researchers independently undertook the technical review in October 2021.
ResultsThe ISPOR database scored 35 of a possible 165 (27/111 essential criteria and 8/54 desirable criteria). Two issues arising were identified, both of which will cause searchers to miss potentially eligible abstracts: (i) that search terms, which include * or ? as truncation or wildcard symbols should not be capitalized (e.g., cost* not Cost*; organi?ation not Organi?ation) and (ii) that quotation marks should be straight sided in phrase searching (e.g., “cost analyses” not “cost analyses”).
ConclusionsThe ISPOR database is a promising and free database to identify abstracts/posters presented at ISPOR. We summarize two key issues arising, and we set out proposed changes to the search interface, including: adding the ability to export abstracts to a bibliographic tool, exporting search strategies, adding a researcher account, and updating the help guide. All suggestions will further improve this helpful database.

Background
People who have suffered the loss of a loved one may subsequently report sensory experiences of the deceased (termed ‘after-death communications’, or ADCs). Such encounters are common and can be a source of comfort to the bereaved. Nevertheless, there has been limited empirical investigation of this phenomenon, and consequently mental health professionals feel ill-equipped to support those who disclose them.
AimsTo map the phenomenology of ADCs, and identify covariates and effects upon the recipient.
MethodWe conducted an online mixed-methods survey comprising 194 items about all aspects of ADCs. A purposive sample of 1004 respondents across three language groups (English, French and Spanish) completed the survey.
ResultsThe most common form of ADC was during sleep, but large numbers of cases involved sensory modalities of touch, sight, hearing, smell and sense of presence that externalised the phenomenon for the recipient. Variations in incidence with participant gender and language group suggest a psychosocial component. ADCs were typically regarded by the participant as deeply meaningful and comforting. Respondents reported significant increases in their sense of spirituality, but not religiosity.
ConclusionsADCs are a common feature of bereavement that occur unexpectedly, and are independent of any underlying pathology or psychological need. For the person experiencing the hallucination, they are important and meaningful events that they interpret in terms of continuing bonds with the deceased. This adaptive outcome may be stymied where mental health professionals trivialise or pathologise disclosures about ADCs.

Introduction:
In a recently published review of supplementary search methods, we proposed that researchers could usefully record time taken to search and present outcome values in similar way to existing studies, to facilitate generalisability of outcomes, where appropriate. We also discuss the idea of linking literature search effectiveness to study value. In this vignette, we discuss which outcomes we believe are important to measure and why. We discuss this in the context of the review of supplementary search methods and using a recently submitted evaluation of contacting study authors for context.
Methods:In a recently completed systematic review, we contacted eighty-two study authors to ask three questions. We aimed to measure the following outcomes when contacting study authors: Effectiveness - determined as number of contacts compared to number of replies; Efficiency - i) time to make contact and ii) time between contact and reply. We determined this in hours, minutes and seconds, in line with other studies; Cost - determined by comparing the efficiency of contacting authors with the effectiveness; and Value - determined by reading and comparing the published studies with the replies received to see if any unique data were identified.
Results:Effectiveness: thirty-eight answers were received from eighty-two possible contacts. Efficiency: In total, author contact took six hours, fifty-four minutes and twenty-five seconds across thirty-nine weeks. Replies were received across zero to thirty-nine days (median fourteen days). Cost: Cost for staff time was GBP 80.33 (EUR 91.20) or GBP 2.11 (EUR 2.40) per e-mail reply received. Value: We were able to identify value in author replies for each of the questions asked.
Conclusions:In a recently published review of supplementary search methods, and a linked evaluation of the effectiveness of contacting study authors, we suggest outcomes that should be measured to determine effectiveness of literature search methods. We conclude that measuring these outcomes demonstrate both effectiveness and value.

Introduction:
High quality evidence for test accuracy can be scarce. We assessed the test accuracy of two tests (Actim Partus and PartoSure) for the prediction of preterm birth. Twenty published full-text papers were included whilst conference abstracts were excluded. Since systematic reviews of diagnostic tests on other topics may need to rely on data from conference abstracts, we test whether the findings of our review would change with conference abstracts included.
Methods:Conference citations previously excluded (n=108) were re-screened for inclusion using the following criteria: i) the diagnostic test was Actim Partus or PartoSure ii) test accuracy data of preterm delivery within seven days was reported iii) the population was women with signs/symptoms of preterm labor with intact membranes. Relevant test accuracy data were extracted and used to calculate sensitivity and specificity. Pooled sensitivity and specificity for each test were run using data from full-text papers and conference abstracts combined. These values were compared with the pooled sensitivities and specificities produced for the systematic review using full-text papers only.
Results:Preliminary pooled sensitivities of the sixteen full-text Actim Partus studies and sixteen full-texts and two abstracts were 0.77 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68, 0.83) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.69, 0.83) respectively whilst pooled specificities were 0.81 (95% CI 0.76, 0.85).and 0.80 (95% CI 0.75, 0.84) respectively. Preliminary, pooled sensitivities of the four full-text PartoSure studies and four full-texts and three abstracts were 0.83 (95% CI 0.61, 0.94) and 0.82 (95% CI 0.65, 0.92), respectively, whilst pooled specificities were 0.95 (95% CI 0.89, 0.98) and 0.96 (95% CI 0.94, 0.97), respectively.
Conclusions:Our findings suggest that the test accuracy results would not alter substantially with the inclusion of conference abstracts. However, work is ongoing to investigate how the assessment of heterogeneity and risk of bias across studies would alter given the difficulties associated with limited methodological reporting from conference abstracts.

Background
Scales are widely used in psychiatric assessments following self-harm. Robust evidence for their diagnostic use is lacking.
AimsTo evaluate the performance of risk scales (Manchester Self-Harm Rule, ReACT Self-Harm Rule, SAD PERSONS scale, Modified SAD PERSONS scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale); and patient and clinician estimates of risk in identifying patients who repeat self-harm within 6 months.
MethodA multisite prospective cohort study was conducted of adults aged 18 years and over referred to liaison psychiatry services following self-harm. Scale a priori cut-offs were evaluated using diagnostic accuracy statistics. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to determine optimal cut-offs and compare global accuracy.
ResultsIn total, 483 episodes of self-harm were included in the study. The episode-based 6-month repetition rate was 30% (n = 145). Sensitivity ranged from 1% (95% CI 0–5) for the SAD PERSONS scale, to 97% (95% CI 93–99) for the Manchester Self-Harm Rule. Positive predictive values ranged from 13% (95% CI 2–47) for the Modified SAD PERSONS Scale to 47% (95% CI 41–53) for the clinician assessment of risk. The AUC ranged from 0.55 (95% CI 0.50–0.61) for the SAD PERSONS scale to 0.74 (95% CI 0.69–0.79) for the clinician global scale. The remaining scales performed significantly worse than clinician and patient estimates of risk (P < 0.001).
ConclusionsRisk scales following self-harm have limited clinical utility and may waste valuable resources. Most scales performed no better than clinician or patient ratings of risk. Some performed considerably worse. Positive predictive values were modest. In line with national guidelines, risk scales should not be used to determine patient management or predict self-harm.

Summary
Introduction
How have Australian trade unions attempted to influence public policy development? In analysing union influence on public policymaking during 1983–2013, we identify several distinct patterns of engagement by unions with the policy process during three very different political and policy environments. We see unions as ‘core insiders’ in the policymaking process under the Hawke– Keating Labor government (1983–96), as ‘outsiders of necessity’ under the Howard conservative Coalition government (1996–2007) and as a hybrid of ‘specialist insider groups’ and ‘outsider groups of choice’ under the Rudd–Gillard Labor government (2007–13). While these shifts in unions’ strategic orientation can be understood as responses to changes in the policy and political agendas of respective governments, they also reflect changes in the structure and organisation of – and strategic thinking within – the labour movement.
During the last 30 years, unions’ strategies differed markedly, as did their relationships with governments and their capacity to influence policymaking. Investigating three decades means that the account provided is somewhat schematic, but the benefit is that we are able to emphasise and, to some extent, explain the contingent nature of union orientation and influence. At various times in their history, some unions have sought to exercise influence over very wide areas of public policy. Here, however, we pay particular attention to policy in the field of industrial relations, for example, in relation to the system of wage fixing, but we attempt to incorporate union interventions across a broader policy landscape, such as labour market, economic and social policy.
To explain the nature of union influence over policymaking, we identify distinct, overarching strategic orientations in changing contexts. Among the various political science perspectives on the role of interest groups in the policymaking process, the nature of union engagement over the past 30 years is best understood in terms of the ‘insiders–outsiders’ framework developed by Grant (2000). We argue that while the environment in which unions operate is critical for understanding their strategic orientation, exogenous forces do not, solely, shape union action. Union ‘organisation’ – membership, intra-union relations, political and cultural focus and frames of reference, gender relations, and the like – plays a critical role in mediating union engagement with the policy process.

Although many types of sports and recreational activities have been identified as common causes of acute spinal cord injury, hockey has been a rare cause of acute cord injury in Canada or elsewhere. For example, from 1948 to 1973 there were no patients with cord injuries due to hockey in a series of 55 patients with acute cord injuries due to sports or other recreational activities admitted to two Toronto hospitals. In contrast, between 1974 and 1981, the Acute Spinal Cord Injury Unit, Sunnybrook Medical Centre treated six patients with cervical spinal injury due to hockey, five of whom were seen during a 13 month period from September, 1980 to October, 1981. Five of the six sustained a severe acute cervical spinal cord injury, and one a cervical root injury. The cord injury was complete in two cases, while three had complete motor loss but incomplete sensory loss below the level of the lesion. All were males aged 15 to 26 years. Of the players with cord injury, four struck the boards with the neck flexed, and one struck another player with the neck flexed. The one player without cord injury struck the boards with his neck extended. The commonest bony injury was a burst fracture of C5 or C6. One of the patients with a complete cord injury died three months later of a pulmonary embolus, and the other patients with cord injury showed some recovery of root function, but little or no cord recovery. The reasons for the increase in spinal injuries in hockey are unknown.

Summary
Introduction
Globally, the majority of business schools claim to be internationally networked. In reality, however, this is confined to a range of single point international alliances rather than a truly embedded network of schools. Oxford Brookes University Business School and Burgundy School of Business believe that one model for the future is that of a strategic alliance based upon a networked school. This has been characterised as:
An interdependent coalition of task and skill-specialized … organizational units that operates without hierarchical control but is embedded by dense lateral connections, mutuality, and reciprocity, in a shared value system that defines ‘membership’, roles and responsibilities.
This networked model is driven by the need for business schools to respond to the forces of globalisation and will be facilitated by the capabilities of information and communication technologies.
Achrol and Kotler characterise the Oxford Brookes University Business School and Burgundy School of Business model as an opportunity network. This type of network is organised around multi-point alliances focusing upon customer needs and market opportunities. Underlying this alliance is the notion of an internationally focused Anglo-French business school with the potential to add new partners to the network to create a truly European business school that reflects the European ideal.
There is a huge opportunity here. Europe represents the largest market in the world but is seen as lacking competitiveness compared with other economic blocs such as South East Asia and North America. The initiative to create a European business school will be attractive to funding bodies concerned about Europe's lack of competitiveness and productivity – in part this initiative plays to the very heterogeneity of Europe as a strength.
To capitalise on this opportunity, Burgundy School of Business and Oxford Brookes University Business School will incubate a new model of international management education, with the ultimate vision of creating a genuine European institution for management education and development. This will eventually allow European management education to face up to the challenges posed by the large American business schools, and enable the European Foundation for Management Development to succeed in sponsoring a genuine international educational venture of good standing that delivers a truly unique management education and that draws upon best practice experience rooted in France and the UK.

A one-year mathematics project that focused on measurement was conducted with six Torres Strait Islander schools and communities. Its key focus was to contextualise the teaching and learning of measurement within the students' culture, communities and home languages. Six teachers and two teacher aides participated in the project. This paper reports on the findings from the teachers' and teacher aides' survey questionnaire used in the first Professional Development session to identify: a) teachers' experience of teaching in the Torres Strait Islands, b) teachers' beliefs about effective ways to teach Torres Strait Islander students, and c) contexualising measurement within Torres Strait Islander culture, communities and home languages. A wide range of differing levels of knowledge and understanding about how to contextualise measurement to support student learning were identified and analysed. For example, an Indigenous teacher claimed that mathematics and the environment are relational, that is, they are not discrete and in isolation from one another, rather they interconnect with mathematical ideas emerging from the environment of the Torres Strait communities.
