The Born Family in Göttingen and Beyond
No full textRevised and extended editionSoftcover, 17x242Gustav Victor Rudolf Born was born in Göttingen in 1921 as one of the three
children of Hedwig Born and the already famous physicist Max Born who
became Nobel laureate in Physics in 1954. On the grounds of the Born’s Jewish
origins and the open pacifism of Max Born, the National Socialists forced the
Born family to leave Germany in 1933, soon after the National Socialist Party
seized power. The family immigrated to Great Britain, first to Cambridge, later to
Edinburgh. The Born children spent the rest of their childhood and youth in Britain,
and Gustav Born obtained his medical degree from Edinburgh University, his
doctoral degree from the University of Oxford. During his long and distinguished
academic career, Born has held chairs of pharmacology at the Royal College of
Surgeons, at Cambridge University, and at King’s College in London. At the end
of his outstanding career and his invaluable contributions to knowledge of the
pathophysiology of the circulation, haemosthasis, thrombosis and atherogenesis,
he was Research Professor at the William Harvey Research Institute.
In this book he reflects on the life journey the Born family was forced to take.
The text stems from the conference “Göttingen and the development of the Natural
Sciences”, organized by the Georgia Augusta’s Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte
in November 2000. Gustav Born agreed to attend and follow the invitation to
present a keynote address on “The Born family in and out of Göttingen”, which was
held in the University’s sanctum sanctorum, the so-called Alte Aula. His address
was the highlight of the conference, attended by many from Göttingen’s academic
community and concluded with a long standing ovation.
In a personal conversation with Arnulf Quadt (professor for particle physics at
Göttingen University), briefly before his sad passing in April 2018, Gustav Born
encouraged to make the book on the story of his family available again. The
University of Göttingen is deeply honoured to follow Gustav Born’s suggestion
and present a commented reprint of the original keynote in 2002
Born in Bradford
No full textBorn in Bradford is one of the worlds biggest studies into why children become ill, following 13,500 babies born in the city from 2007-2011. Ian McMillan (poet) and I were commissioned by the Bradford Institute for health research to create a small book of photographs and a narrative poem that could articulate the overarching ideas behind this study.

The foreign-born population in upstate New York
No full textAn analysis of upstate New York's foreign-born residents suggests that they contribute to the region's human capital in important ways. This population boasts a greater concentration of college graduates than either the region's native-born population or immigrants downstate. While some immigrants upstate may compete with U.S.-born workers for jobs, the more highly educated appear to be entering skilled occupations - in medicine, science, and research particularly - that complement those of native-born residents.

Predictors of Stunting, Wasting and Underweight among Tanzanian Children Born to HIV-Infected Women.
No full textChildren born to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women are susceptible to undernutrition, but modifiable risk factors and the time course of the development of undernutrition have not been well characterized. The objective of this study was to identify maternal, socioeconomic and child characteristics that are associated with stunting, wasting and underweight among Tanzanian children born to HIV-infected mothers, followed from 6 weeks of age for 24 months. Maternal and socioeconomic characteristics were recorded during pregnancy, data pertaining to the infant's birth were collected immediately after delivery, morbidity histories and anthropometric measurements were performed monthly. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards methods were used to assess the association between potential predictors and the time to first episode of stunting, wasting and underweight. A total of 2387 infants (54.0% male) were enrolled and followed for a median duration of 21.2 months. The respective prevalence of prematurity (<37 weeks) and low birth weight (<2500 g) was 15.2% and 7.0%; 11.3% of infants were HIV-positive at 6 weeks. Median time to first episode of stunting, wasting and underweight was 8.7, 7.2 and 7.0 months, respectively. Low maternal education, few household possessions, low infant birth weight, child HIV infection and male sex were all independent predictors of stunting, wasting and underweight. In addition, preterm infants were more likely to become wasted and underweight, whereas those with a low Apgar score at birth were more likely to become stunted. Interventions to improve maternal education and nutritional status, reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and increase birth weight may lower the risk of undernutrition among children born to HIV-infected women
