Ffotogallery's photographic survey and archive The Valleys Project was initiated at a time of significant social and economic upheaval in south east Wales. This article explores the contexts for the establishment of the project in the early 1980s and how it was subsequently shaped by political and institutional advocacy as well as the emerging importance of creative photographic practice as a recognized independent activity in the UK and beyond.

The Universe

Photographic surveys have played a vital role in virtually every area of astronomical research over the last 50 years. Indeed, one can make a strong case that Schmidt telescopes in general, and the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt in particular, have made the most substantial contribution to our understanding of the Universe—at least at optical wavelengths. The all-sky atlases compiled since the initiation of the POSS I O/E survey in 1949 will continue to provide fundamental reference catalogues and potent research tools for many years to come (for our children's children's children), particularly when combined with the second epoch surveys currently under way. However, as far as undertaking new, large-scale sky surveys are concerned, it is clear that we have reached the end of an era. Alternative detector technology and new instrumentation (i.e., CCD mosaics) can now match and, indeed, exceed the capabilities of the photographic Schmidt telescopes in undertaking effective wide-field photometric surveys.In this review, I report on the progress being made in completing the all-hemisphere photographic surveys currently being undertaken from Siding Spring with the UK Schmidt and from Palomar with the Oschin Schmidt. I also provide a summary of the availability of machine scans and/or object catalogues derived from the various surveys. Photographic survey work is not confined to these atlases, however, and section 3 provides discussion of other more specialised projects currently being undertaken. Finally, I consider the future possibilities for photographic Schmidt surveys.

The Carte du Ciel was the first photographic survey of the entire sky, extending to 15th magnitude in the blue “photographic” passband. The first Palomar sky survey followed in this tradition, covering the sky north of δ = −30° to a limiting magnitude of ≃ 20 in both blue and visual/red wavelength ranges, while the Whiteoak extension added the fields to declination −42° in the latter color. In the thirty years that have elapsed since the completion of the original survey there have been substantial improvements in emulsions and sesitization techniques, as well as an increase in the wavelength range accessible to photography. These techniques have been ably exploited by the UK Schmidt telescope, and a cursory comparison between any UKST IIIaJ plate and an original POSS 103a-O photograph highlights the considerably improved depth and resolution of the southern survey. We have, therefore, embarked on a second Palomar survey, POSS 2, in an effort to redress the balance. This paper outlines the progress made to date and go on to describe some of the scientific programs that are planned.

Background: Self-poisoning (overdose) is the commonest form of self-harm cases presenting to acute secondary care services in the UK, where there has been limited investigation of self-harm in black and minority ethnic communities. London has the UK’s most ethnically diverse areas but presents challenges in resident-based data collection due to the large number of hospitals. Aims: To investigate the rates and characteristics of self-poisoning presentations in two central London boroughs. Method: All incident cases of self-poisoning presentations of residents of Lambeth and Southwark were identified over a 12-month period through comprehensive acute and mental health trust data collection systems at multiple hospitals. Analysis was done using STATA 12.1. Results: A rate of 121.4/100,000 was recorded across a population of more than half a million residents. Women exceeded men in all measured ethnic groups. Black women presented 1.5 times more than white women. Gender ratios within ethnicities were marked. Among those aged younger than 24 years, black women were almost 7 times more likely to present than black men were. Conclusion: Self-poisoning is the commonest form of self-harm presentation to UK hospitals but population-based rates are rare. These results have implications for formulating and managing risk in clinical services for both minority ethnic women and men.

Abstract. This study used a longitudinal data set of 5,672 adults followed for 50 years to determine the factors that influence adult trait Openness-to-Experience. In a large, nationally representative sample in the UK (the National Child Development Study), data were collected at birth, in childhood (age 11), adolescence (age 16), and adulthood (ages 33, 42, and 50) to examine the effects of family social background, childhood intelligence, school motivation during adolescence, education, and occupation on the personality trait Openness assessed at age 50 years. Structural equation modeling showed that parental social status, childhood intelligence, school motivation, education, and occupation all had modest, but direct, effects on trait Openness, among which childhood intelligence was the strongest predictor. Gender was not significantly associated with trait Openness. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed.
