A Bayesian hierarchical model for risk assessment of methylmercury
No full textThis article uses a Bayesian hierarchical model to quantify the adverse health effects associated with in-utero exposure to methylmercury. By allowing for study-to-study as well as outcome-to-outcome variability, the approach provides a useful meta-analytic tool for multi-outcome, multi-study environmental risk assessments. The analysis presented here expands on the findings of a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) committee, charged with advising the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on an appropriate approach to conducting a risk assessment for methylmercury. The NAS committee, for which the senior author (Ryan) was a committee member, reviewed the findings from several conflicting studies and reported the results from a Bayesian hierarchical model that synthesized information across several studies and for several outcomes. Although the NAS committee did not suggest that the hierarchical model be used as the actual basis for a methylmercury risk assessment, the results from the model were used to justify and support the final recommendation that the risk analysis be based on data from a study conducted in the Faroe Islands, which had found an association between in-utero exposure to methylmercury and impaired neurological development. We consider a variety of statistical issues, but particularly sensitivity to model specification. © 2003 American Statistical Association and the International Biometric Society
Book Review: Remaking Memory : Autoethnography, memoir and the ethics of self John Freeman With contributions by Rebekka Kill, Nazar Jabour, Kate Rice, Steph Brocken and Jamie Coull
No full textJohn Freeman’s Remaking Memory: Autoethnography, memoir and the ethics of self makes a significant contribution to autoethnography and memoir. The book includes a lengthy chapter on autoethnographic performance that draws upon literary and performance works pertaining to self-narrating practices. Five case studies by postgraduate students are also included in order to ‘remind the reader [and author] that a sole authorial voice is usually suspect’ (13) and to provide first-hand accounts of some of the ways in which performance and autoethnography have been applied within specific research contexts. Case studies by Rebekka Kill (UK), Nazar Jabour (Iraq/Australia), Kate Rice (Australia), Steph Brocken (UK) and Jamie Coull (Australia) stem directly from the graduate researchers’ theses, offering rich insight into transnational questions of methodology and modes of presentation

Urinary Arsenic Methylation Species, Arsenic Methylation Efficiency during Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes
No full textArsenic exposure from drinking water has been associated with symptoms during pregnancy, as well as negative birth outcomes. The individual’s capability to methylate arsenic modifies the risk of arsenic-related health outcomes. Bangladesh is facing the world’s most severe arsenic crisis, as well as a high prevalence of low birth weight. However, little is known about determinants of arsenic metabolism during pregnancy and its relationship to birth outcomes. Thus, we conducted this study in Bangladesh to identify determinants of arsenic methylation capability during pregnancy, and its relationship with birth outcomes.
The study was based on a Bangladesh prospective reproductive cohort (Project Jeebon) of 1,613 pregnant women recruited between 2008 and 2011. We quantified participants’ urinary arsenic methylation species, including inorganic arsenic (iAs), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) repeatedly at the early gestational period and the mid-to-late gestational period. In the first paper, we analyzed the association between arsenic metabolism during pregnancy and potential determinants including demographic, exposure, nutritional variables. Our findings suggested that weeks of gestation was strongly associated with arsenic methylation efficiency only in the early gestational period. Daily protein intake was negatively associated with arsenic metabolism in the early gestational period, controlling for energy intake level.
In the second paper, we examined the genetic variants associated with arsenic methylation during pregnancy as well as its SNP-arsenic interaction effect. We have identified SNPs in As3MT were associated DMA% in both early and mid-to-late pregnancy period. The individual associations between SNPs in GSTO2, As3MT, and CNNM2 gene were modified by arsenic exposure levels in both gestational periods. And we have identified the SNP-arsenic interaction of N6AMT1 SNPs only in the mid-to-late gestational period. However, these SNP-arsenic interactions effects were not significant after adjusting for false discovery rate.
In the third study, we used causal mediation models to assess maternal arsenic metabolism by gestational periods to identify a sensitive exposure time window linked to adverse birth outcomes. We have found less efficient arsenic metabolism in the mid-to-late gestational period was associated with a lower birth weight that was mediated through the gestational age at birth.

URI Disambiguation in the Context of Linked Data
No full textThe Linked Data initiative has given rise to an increasing number of RDF datasets, many of which are freely accessible online. These resources often arise as a result of database exports; however sufficient consideration may not be given to the unseen implications caused when they are used in the wider context of the Semantic Web. This paper investigates two popular resources, DBLP and DBpedia, and discusses whether the issues regarding identity management and co-reference resolution have been suitably addressed. We find that a large percentage of authors in DBLP have been conflated, and that disambiguation pages have been incorrectly linked using owl:sameAs within DBpedia. Systems for dealing with these issues are presented, and directions are given for future research
