Building Breastfeeding Research Relations and Beyond: An Interview With Fiona Dykes
No full textProfessor Fiona Dykes is Professor Emerita of Maternal and Infant Health at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom (UCLAN). Fiona has a particular interest in the global, sociocultural, and political influences upon infant and young child feeding practices; her methodological expertise is in ethnography and other qualitative research methods. She founded the Maternal and Infant Nutrition and Nurture Unit (MAINN) in 2000 which she led until she retired from her full-time professorship in 2020. Fiona established the associated MAINN Conference in 2007. The MAINN conference is a 3 day, international, peer reviewed event held bi-annually in the United Kingdom and, more recently, in alternate years overseas (Sydney, Australia; Falun, Dalarna, Sweden; and Florida, United States). The conference draws together key researchers in the field of infant and young child feeding from around the world. Fiona was a founding member of the journal Maternal and Child Nutrition. She is author of Breastfeeding in Hospital: Mothers, Midwives and the Production Line (Routledge) and co-author, with Dr Tanya Cassidy, of Banking on Milk: An Ethnography of Donor Human Milk Relations (Routledge). She is also joint editor of several books including Infant and Young Child Feeding: Challenges to Implementing a Global Strategy (Wiley-Blackwell) and Ethnographic Research in Maternal and Child Health (Routledge). This interview was conducted on April 20, 2023, by Dr. Tanya Cassidy, and is based on a verbatim transcription and edited for readability

How many focus markers are there in Konkomba?
No full textThis article discusses the divergent status of the two particles lé and lá in the grammar of Konkomba, a Gur language (Niger-Congo) of the Gurma subgroup. While previous studies claim that both particles are focus markers, this author argues that only the particle lá should be analyzed as a pure pragmatic device. Distributional studies suggest that the use of particle lé, on the other hand, is only required under specific focus conditions, and primarily represents a syntactic device

The acoustic repertoire of the bell miner, Manorina melanophrys
No full text© 1989 Dr. Catherine Fiona HeathcoteAcoustic communication was studied in a population of the cooperatively-breeding Bell Miner, Manorina melanophrys (Family Meliphagidae), from March 1985 to May 1988 at Bundoora, Victoria. The study aimed to describe the acoustic repertoire of the Bell Miner and to investigate the function of vocalizations in the repertoire. An additional aim was to examine whether there were functional specializations of vocal signals associated with a cooperatively-breeding social organization.
Eighteen adult calls and four juvenile calls were distinguished in the acoustic repertoire of the Bell Miner. Six adult calls were given only by females and one adult call was given only by males. For calls that were given by both sexes, there were no differences between males and females. Most calls that were analyzed showed difference s between individuals in some characteristics; however, only two calls showed strong evidence of individuality.
The characteristic tink call appears to function as an interspecific territorial call, deterring other species of birds from entering the area occupied by a Bell Miner social unit. The tink call may also act as a contact call between birds. Female-specific calls are believed to function in courtship of males (assisting a female in obtaining a breeding position), in synchronizing reproduction between mates, in reinforcing the pair-bond between mates, in acoustic mate-guarding, and as contact calls during nesting (ensuring that the female’s mate and other birds in the social unit are aware of the female's activities). The individuality of the female-specific chuk-a-choo call may enable males to recognize their mates. The male-specific oar call is believed to function in establishing and reinforcing a pair bond.
The mew call given by both sexes appears to function to elicit a begging response from young; to induce a bird to leave young when the caller is approaching; to signal to other birds that the caller is leaving the young; to encourage nestlings to fledge; and to lead fledglings away from danger. Observations also suggest that the mew call functions in advertising male helping behaviour. Recognition of males on the basis of this individually distinctive call may occur. Calls of the Bell Miner also function as alarm calls, mobbing calls (to confuse an intruder and to encourage it to move on, and to alert and attract other birds to a mobbing), distress calls (to attract birds to a caller held by a predator) and distraction calls (to attract an intruder's attention away from young). Juvenile calls are believed to function in soliciting food from adults, to signal a juvenile's location to adults and to attract adults. Other potential functions of calls are discussed.
The specificity of vocal functions of the Bell Miner in the context of a cooperatively-breeding social organization was evaluated by comparisons with vocalizations reported in the literature for other species. Several vocal adaptations were identified that may be restricted to, or most prominent in, species with a cooperatively-breeding social organization: these include the possession of a general interspecific territorial call, acoustic courtship of males by females, and vocal advertising of helping behaviour. Vocal components of communal display behaviour of the Bell Miner may also have functions adapted to a cooperatively-breeding social organization
Neutrino oscillations and the early universe
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2000 Nicole Fiona Bell.We construct a model which provides maximal mixing between a pseudo-Dirac Vµ/VT pair, based on a local U(1)Lµ-LT symmetry. Its strengths, weaknesses and phenomenological consequences are examined. A new intermediate range force is predicted, mediated by the light gauge boson of U(1)Lµ-LT. Through the mixing of µ, T and e, this force couples to electrons and thus may be searched for in precision “gravity” experiments.The generation of relic neutrino asymmetries in the early universe via the mechanism of partially coherent active-sterile neutrino oscillations is considered. We study how an approximate evolution equation for the growth of the asymmetry can be extracted from the exact Quantum Kinetic Equations which describe the evolution of the neutrino ensemble, and examine the nature of some of the approximations employed
The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod"
No full text"William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade ""Fiona Macleod"" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.
Sharp wrote ""I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out"". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing ""second self"".
With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.
