Prisons are susceptible to outbreaks. Control measures focusing on isolation and cohorting negatively affect wellbeing. We present an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a large male prison in Wales, UK, October 2020 to April 2021, and discuss control measures.
We gathered case-information, including demographics, staff-residence postcode, resident cell number, work areas/dates, test results, staff interview dates/notes and resident prison-transfer dates. Epidemiological curves were mapped by prison location. Control measures included isolation (exclusion from work or cell-isolation), cohorting (new admissions and work-area groups), asymptomatic testing (case-finding), removal of communal dining and movement restrictions. Facemask use and enhanced hygiene were already in place. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and interviews determined the genetic relationship between cases plausibility of transmission.
Of 453 cases, 53% (n = 242) were staff, most aged 25–34 years (11.5% females, 27.15% males) and symptomatic (64%). Crude attack-rate was higher in staff (29%, 95% CI 26–64%) than in residents (12%, 95% CI 9–15%).
Whole-genome sequencing can help differentiate multiple introductions from person-to-person transmission in prisons. It should be introduced alongside asymptomatic testing as soon as possible to control prison outbreaks. Timely epidemiological investigation, including data visualisation, allowed dynamic risk assessment and proportionate control measures, minimising the reduction in resident welfare.

We present the development of a regional dementia strategy in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. We worked with stakeholders in a regional health authority to develop a dementia strategy. We conducted interviews with persons with dementia and their care partners (n = 26) and health care administrators and policy makers (n = 33); and administered a priority-setting survey (n = 64). Both participant groups identified provider compassion, professionalism, and care in the early stages of dementia as system strengths. Both groups also highlighted a need for more integration and coordination, a need for more person-centred care, support for care partners, and more flexibility in the provision and receipt of services. The highest-ranked priorities were improving care partner support, improving access to care, and improving system-wide quality. We integrate these strengths, needs, and priorities in a strategic framework, “Whole Person, Whole Journey”. Organizations developing a dementia strategy may use this framework as a springboard for their own work.

Objective:
Waist-to-height ratio has been shown to be an important indicator of cardiometabolic risk. There are few studies evaluating this measure against existing measures of adiposity and cardiometabolic markers in early childhood. The objectives were: (i) to determine in young children the ability of waist-to-height ratio, BMI z-score, weight for length, and sum of skin fold thickness to predict cardiometabolic risk and (ii) to examine this association at ages 1, 3 and 5 years.
Design:Prospective cohort study.
Setting:A university hospital in Toronto, Ontario.
Participants:Infants at 1 (n 406), 3 (n 112) and 5 years of age (n 94) born to mothers with and without gestational diabetes mellitus.
Results:Weight for length and BMI z-score demonstrated the strongest correlations with biochemical measures compared to waist-to-height ratio, including leptin (at 5 years, weight for length z-score: ρ = 0·65, P < 0·001; BMI z-score: ρ = 0·67, P < 0·001) and measures of insulin resistance (at 3 years, weight for length z-score: ρ = 0·25, P = 0·02; BMI z-score: ρ = 0·24, P = 0·02). The magnitude of associations between anthropometric measures and biochemical measures strengthened over time. Weight for length and BMI z-scores were moderately correlated with overall measures of fat mass as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (ρ = 0·65, P = 0·00; ρ = 0·61, P = 0·01).
Conclusions:Waist-to-height ratio was not superior to existing measures in predicting cardiometabolic risk in young children. BMI z-score is a preferred measure of adiposity between birth and 5 years of age.

Tropical land cover change has negatively affected numerous migratory bird populations. Forest restoration can augment migrant wintering habitat. However, almost no information exists about factors that influence migrant use of tropical restoration sites. We sampled migrant birds in young restoration sites in Costa Rica from February 2006 to April 2008 to determine how vegetation height, planting design, season, and landscape forest cover influenced capture rates of four declining species. We also documented total numbers of migratory species and individuals captured in each planting design treatment; each site had a control treatment where seedlings were not planted, an island treatment where seedlings were planted in patches, and a plantation treatment where seedlings were planted to cover the entire area. Sites varied in landscape forest cover within 500 m buffers. Three out of four focal species were captured significantly more often in plantation treatments than island or control treatments. Two of the four species showed seasonal patterns and one species was captured more often in high-vegetation sites. Greater numbers of species and individuals were captured in plantation treatments compared to island and control treatments. The plantation planting design increased migrant use more quickly than the island planting design. When resources are available, we recommend planting plantation-style to rapidly increase the value of restoration sites to a range of species, particularly those that use woody vegetation. When resources are more limited, planting islands may be a cost-effective, although not as ecologically effective, alternative that supports a diversity of migrant species compared to unplanted controls.

Summary
Introduction
The rising prevalence of being overweight and obese is well recognised. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.2 billion people are overweight, 300 million of whom are obese (Government Office for Science, 2007). The most startling increases have taken place in the US and UK where the prevalence of overweight and obesity has almost doubled in the last 25 years (Wardle and Boniface, 2008). These increases are not just confined to adult populations. Data from the Health Survey for England, using the UK national body mass index (BMI) percentile classification, indicates that the prevalence of overweight (including obesity) among 2- to 10-year-olds rose from 23% in 1995, to 28% in 2003, with the prevalence of overweight and obesity, and the rate of increase, being similar for boys and girls (Jotangia et al, 2005). These secular changes appear to be accelerating (Stamatakis et al, 2005; Jackson-Leach and Lobstein, 2006), and the age at onset of obesity is occurring at ever younger ages.
The health problems associated with adult obesity are well described and include type 2 diabetes, hypertension and coronary artery disease, sleep apnoea, pulmonary hypertension, hepatobiliary disease, cancers and reproductive and musculoskeletal disorders (Kopelman, 2007). Childhood obesity also has major implications in the short term for child health, development and well-being, and in the longer term for health in young and later adult life. However, the consequences of an increasingly early onset of childhood obesity are less clear (Reilly et al, 2003). Kimm and Obarzanek (2002) have consequently emphasised the need for prospective studies to delineate the morbidities associated with childhood obesity. Data from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) provide the ideal opportunity to examine the development of obesity and its consequences from a very young age.
Tackling childhood obesity is a priority for the UK government, given the substantial rise in obesity and overweight among very young children. In 2007, a long-term public service agreement (PSA) target for addressing childhood obesity was set, with the aim to ‘reduce the proportion of overweight and obese children to 2000 levels by 2020 in the context of tackling obesity across the population’ (HM Government, 2007)

The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty requires that past and present work sites be cleaned up unless removal would result in greater adverse environmental impact than leaving the contaminant in its existing location. In the early 1990s Australia began the documentation of contaminated sites associated with its research stations, which resulted in an extensive record of contamination at abandoned stations and waste-disposal sites. Currently the technical capability to remediate these sites does not exist because of environmental challenges that are unique to the cold regions. Investigations indicate that clean-up operations in the past have proceeded without adequate precautions and without effective monitoring. To address these problems, three research priorities have been identified to assist meeting international and national obligations to clean up these sites. They are: understanding contaminant mobilisation processes; development of ecological risk assessment for use in monitoring and setting priorities; and development of clean-up and remediation procedures. This study provides sufficient information to guide the completion of a clean-up at Casey Station and to indicate how other similar sites should be managed. The next stage is to develop the theory into an operational plan to include detailed protocols for clean-up, monitoring, site remediation, and management of the waste stream from site to final repository. To achieve this, the Australian Antarctic Division has established a contaminated sites taskforce to facilitate the transition from research and development of techniques to implementation of suitable clean-up options.

Summary
This chapter outlines some characteristics of vascular dementia (VaD) related to large-vessel diseases in terms of pathology, pathogenesis, and clinical aspects. Large-vessel VaD is characterized by a step-wise cognitive deterioration, focal signs and symptoms which are the result of repeated ischemic strokes. The chapter reviews some of large-vessel diseases such as atherosclerosis, arterial dissection, angiitis, moyamoya disease, and intracranial arterial dolichoectasia. The pathogenesis of large-vessel VaD is complex and to some extent remains a matter of investigation. Efforts in defining diagnostic criteria are made in order to characterize patterns of brain infarction from which it is reliable to deduce the presence of dementia. Some of the most important pathophysiological mechanisms and factors implicated in large-vessel VaD are volume of lesions, number of lesions, location of lesions, and coexistence of other brain pathologies, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD).

African artists cannot and do not choose their subject matter, says critic Tejumola Olaniyan. “They are, on the contrary, chosen by their subjects.” While that liberates artists from the “heavy burden of a head-scratching search for what on earth to create their art about,” Olaniyan observes, it also imposes “the much heavier burden of how on earth to fashion from that surfeit of ‘what’ an imaginative sublimation worthy of the label ‘art.’ This has been the contemporary African artist's greatest challenge, more so than artists in other climes.”1

Loren Kruger's Post-Imperial Brecht: Politics and Performance, East and South is an impressive transnational study of Brechtian theatre that is notable for its simultaneous breadth and depth. Kruger takes us far beyond nationalist frameworks, which have long dominated theatre studies. She also avoids the common pitfalls of “global” and comparative studies: sweeping generalizations that flatten historical specificity are not to be found in this book's 400 richly footnoted pages. Post-Imperial Brecht provides a precise and detailed study of the transnational flow of Brecht's ideas and plays between West and East Germany, and between Germany and South Africa, from the 1930s to the present.

Summary
Children in the UK are growing up against a background of changing family size and structure as well as changing demographic, economic and societal circumstances, which together have important implications for their health (Peckham, 1998). It is important to understand how the changes in patterns of caring for children and family context influence health in early childhood and the adoption of child health promoting behaviours by parents and carers. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the contribution of these changes to obesity, asthma and related allergic diseases, autoimmune conditions, and disorders of social communication and behaviour (Gent et al 1994; Bach, 2002; Lobstein et al, 2004). The factors underlying these trends remain poorly understood, although they are clearly of great public health and human importance. The importance of an interdisciplinary perspective combining social, environmental and biological approaches to elucidate their causes is increasingly recognised.
Plan of this chapter
In this chapter, after considering the data sources in more detail, we describe the health during infancy of the cohort children through investigating the baby's birthweight, its infant weight at 8-9 months, and the early nutrition and patterns of breastfeeding. A range of parental and community influences on the baby's health are then considered – namely, parental smoking and alcohol use, immunisation, health problems and other use of services. Finally, the chapter examines indicators of good health in infancy and concludes with the implications of the findings for child health policy.
Data sources
At the first contact with the families when the children were aged around 9 months, information was obtained by parental (usually maternal) report on a wide range of measures. This included those relevant to the prevention of illness and promotion of health in the child, such as breastfeeding, parental smoking and immunisation status, and to conditions and illnesses that have implications for growth and development. Also included were measures which provide a baseline for examining later patterns and trajectories which will change with increasing age – for example, birthweight and bodyweight.
Data were also enhanced with respect to child health information by verifying maternal reports at the time of interview from information recorded in the personal child health record (Walton et al, 2005) and, subsequently, by linkage to routine birth registration records and health service information either at the individual or health service level (Bartington et al, 2005; Tate et al, 2005).
