To meet the need for linguists in the war with Japan, the War Office finally responded to pressure from SOAS and in 1942 instituted a series of language courses at SOAS in London. For the first course, which consisted only of men, schoolboys were recruited from all over Britain and they were accommodated at Dulwich College during their 18-month course, so they became known as the Dulwich Boys. Frank and Otome Daniels were the key teachers, but Daniels had to recruit many more teachers as the courses expanded, including some Canadians of Japanese origin, some Japanese residents in the UK who were released from internment so that they could teach, and assorted others. Other courses at SOAS were taught by linguists and phoneticians with no knowledge of Japanese who nevertheless successfully trained students to recognize and understand spoken military Japanese, a skill that they put to good use monitoring air-to-ground communications in the Burma Campaign.

The article analyses the activity of the British Council (BC) in East Europe, in particular that of education, science, fine arts and social sphere. The activity of the BC in Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary in the early XXIst has been outlined. These countries have been chosen for special analysis given their complicated process of transforming and adopting their respective institutions and social sphere towards the democratic standards within the framework of their joining NATO and the EU. A series of the BC’s successful projects in the spheres of culture and education have been investigated. Some serious issues blocking the further operational activity of the organization have been outlined. The activity of the BC has been presented as that exemplifying successful cultural diplomacy aimed to ameliorate the international image of the UK, as well as to spread its influence in the key regions of the globe and thus strengthen its international position. On the other hand, the activities taken by the BC to popularize the British standards of culture and education motivates the youth worldwide to enter British universities and to attend language courses both in the UK and abroad. A problematic issue of the BC’s activities is a certain mistrust of public thereto. Thus, the latter together with the British House of Commons have been criticizing the prices for services provided by the BC and therefore accusing it of giving special touch to the British Council. Due to the operational activities of the BC, the UK successfully partakes in resolving both regional European issues (i.e. migration issues, worldviews conflicts etc.) and those of global nature.

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.
