The long-term impact of war experiences and evacuation on people who were children during World War Two

The issue of migration bridges the divide between short-term and long-term explanations of Brexit.Short-term explanations stress the drift toward a referendum in British politics, the opportunistic miscalculation by a playboy prime minister, and the manipulation of the referendum vote by a grotesquely biased press and some of the same conspiratorial forces which secured Trump’s election. Longer-term explanations point to historical differences between the UK and (the rest of) Europe; the fact that the UK escaped defeat and occupation in World War Two; the distinctive legal system shared by England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (though not Scotland); and the UK’s majoritarian political culture. This chapter discusses in a comparative context. The contribution of a migration crisis to the UK’s EU membership and constitutional .

The Cold War

The paper analyses the West-Berlin pathway to the “car-friendly city” in the context of the Cold War. It starts by retracing some long term continuities since the 1920s and gives special attention to the institutional settings and power struggles within the municipal authorities. The prospective character of the planning for the “Stadtautobahn” since 1945 which was far ahead of the real motorisation of the time is explained by the strong political and ideological intention to demonstrate the superiority of the Western life style. The Berlin case is reflected in the context of projects for ring-roads in other European cities.

The authors surveyed 47 midwestern Vietnam war veterans about their war experiences, current lives, and perspectives of their families at this time. Results indicated significant associations between combat exposure and the development of psychological impairment as well as associations between psychological impairment and family environment and satisfaction. No significant associations were found between combat exposure and family environment or satisfaction. Results suggest the need for increased interventions at a family level for survivors of war trauma. Implications for counselors are discussed.

Chapter 1 explains who the Levellers were, and their significance, outlining the Leveller community’s development of a hermeneutics of collectivity as the cornerstone of their demands for political and social justice. It explores the resistance in modern literary history to recognizing the long-term impact of that hermeneutics. Shaped by the powerful events of World War II, modern literary history, it is contended, was coopted by an epistemology of singularity and has struggled over the last half of the twentieth century to “read” and understand the effect of community on the production of knowledge. The chapter outlines the contents of the rest of the book chapter by chapter.

Abstract. Background: There has been no systematic work on the short- or long-term impact of the installation of crisis phones on suicides from bridges. The present study addresses this issue. Method: Data refer to 219 suicides from 1954 through 2013 on the Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, Florida. Six crisis phones with signs were installed in July 1999. Results: In the first decade after installation, the phones were used by 27 suicidal persons and credited with preventing 26 or 2.6 suicides a year. However, the net suicide count increased from 48 in the 13 years before installation of phones to 106 the following 13 years or by 4.5 additional suicides/year (t =3.512, p < .001). Conclusion: Although the phones prevented some suicides, there was a net increase after installation. The findings are interpreted with reference to suggestion/contagion effects including the emergence of a controversial bridge suicide blog.
