Erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (CR1) expression level is not associated with polymorphisms in the promoter or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene
No full textComplement receptor 1 (CR1) expression level on erythrocytes is genetically determined and is associated with high (H) and low (L) expression alleles identified by a HindIII restriction fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) in intron 27 of the CR1 gene. The L allele confers protection against severe malaria in Papua New Guinea, probably because erythrocytes with low CR1 expression, are less able to form pathogenic rosettes with Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. Despite the biological importance of erythrocyte CR1, the genetic mutation controlling CR1 expression level remains unknown. We investigated the possibility that mutations in the upstream or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene could control erythrocyte CR1 level. We identified several novel polymorphisms; however, the mutations did not segregate with erythrocyte CR1 expression level or the H and L alleles. Therefore, high and low erythrocyte CR1 levels cannot be explained by polymorphisms in transcriptional control elements in the upstream or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene
'The subject' and voice: Cross-Chapter Discussion
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Routledge via the DOI in this recordThis cross-chapter discussion between Rachel Cockburn and Konstantinos Thomaidis centres around subjectivity formation, performativity and ideology. With a particular focus on voice and drawing primarily on Laclau and Althusser, voice is discussed in its entanglement with such notions as 'the individual', the 'self' and the 'subject'. Voicing is examined as steering away from essentialised understandings of selfhood and as partaking in the political scene of subjectivity-making. In this sense, Thomaidis inclines existing research towards two paradigmatic scenaria of subjectivity-making in/through voice: one that conceptualises voice as announcing an a priori self and a second one embracing the subject as always-already interrelated, porous and constitutively incomplete
Feathers and lime
No full textThe author, Ken Cockburn, is an internationally recognised poet and writer. His first collection of poems was shortlisted for a Saltire award; He established and ran, along with Alec Finlay, pocketbooks which was an award winning series of books of poetry and visual art. This book is a collection of translated poems and features work by Thomas Brasch, Rudolf Bussmann, Christine Marendon, Arne Rautenberg and Tina Stroheker. Other than Brasch, this is the first time work by these poets has appeared in English in book form.</p

This text is the transcript of a lecture given by Cynthia Cockburn in November 1998 at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in Paris, marking the opening of a photo exhibition and the publication of a book on the theme of women and war. Both works were the result of research carried by Cockburn in three regions of the world confronted with armed conflict - Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Israel/Palestine. Placing herself as a participating observer, the author followed the work of three projects bringing together women from antagonistic political standpoints who have chosen to form alliances, and thus work towards the development of a peace process. She was struck by the fact that, in their activity, far from hiding their differences these women affirm their respective identities. Considering the concept of identity, she underlines the importance of understanding it, as do the women she writes about it, as a category with changing borders and dependent on relations with others.Cockburn Cynthia, Le Doaré Hélène, Heinen Jacqueline.

Agreement between Two Methods of Dietary Data Collection in Male Adolescent Academy-Level Soccer Players
No full textCollecting accurate and reliable nutritional data from adolescent populations is challenging, with current methods providing significant under-reporting. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of a combined dietary data collection method (self-reported weighed food diary, supplemented with a 24-h recall) when compared to researcher observed energy intake in male adolescent soccer players. Twelve Academy players from an English Football League club participated in the study. Players attended a 12 h period in the laboratory (08:00 h–20:00 h), during which food and drink items were available and were consumed ad libitum. Food was also provided to consume at home between 20:00 h and 08:00 h the following morning under free-living conditions. To calculate the participant reported energy intake, food and drink items were weighed and recorded in a food diary by each participant, which was supplemented with information provided through a 24-h recall interview the following morning. Linear regression, limits of agreement (LOA) and typical error (coefficient of variation; CV) were used to quantify agreement between observer and participant reported 24-h energy intake. Difference between methods was assessed using a paired samples t-test. Participants systematically under-reported energy intake in comparison to that observed (p < 0.01) but the magnitude of this bias was small and consistent (mean bias = −88 kcal·day−1, 95% CI for bias = −146 to −29 kcal·day−1). For random error, the 95% LOA between methods ranged between −1.11 to 0.37 MJ·day−1 (−256 to 88 kcal·day−1). The standard error of the estimate was low, with a typical error between measurements of 3.1%. These data suggest that the combined dietary data collection method could be used interchangeably with the gold standard observed food intake technique in the population studied providing that appropriate adjustment is made for the systematic under-reporting common to such methods
Review Of Social Behaviour In Fluctuating Populations By A. Cockburn
No full textCockburn\u27s aim, as expressed in the well-written introduction, is to make the great literature of microtine population and genetic research accessible to a wide readership including students of behavioral ecology. Despite his valiant effort, the literature is too vast and the level of treatment too technical to be easily comprehended by most undergraduates, much less the general reader. The authoritative and tightly written (almost encyclopedic) text covers territoriality, mating systems, life history, evolution, and other approaches to the understanding of the cyclical fluctuations in populations of voles, grouse, and some song birds. One explanatory hypothesis after another is discarded followed by suggestions for further research to clarify the underlying mystery of what drives these boom-and-bust populations. The book will be of considerable value to graduate and advanced undergraduate level libraries collecting in wildlife biology, evolutionary genetics, or animal behavior. A 50-page bibliography provides an entry to the diffuse literature covered. The miniscule index begins with the author\u27s charge that the reader master the entire book
Gender, war and militarism: making and questioning the links
No full textThe gender dynamics of militarism have traditionally been seen as straightforward, given the cultural mythologies of warfare and the disciplining of ‘masculinity’ that occurs in the training and use of men's capacity for violence in the armed services. However, women's relation to both war and peace has been varied and complex. It is women who have often been most prominent in working for peace, although there are no necessary links between women and opposition to militarism. In addition, more women than ever are serving in many of today's armies, with feminists rather uncertain on how to relate to this phenomenon. In this article, I explore some of the complexities of applying gender analyses to militarism and peace work in sites of conflict today, looking most closely at the Israeli feminist group, New Profile, and their insistence upon the costs of the militarized nature of Israeli society. They expose the very permeable boundaries between the military and civil society, as violence seeps into the fears and practices of everyday life in Israel. I place their work in the context of broader feminist analysis offered by researchers such as Cynthia Enloe and Cynthia Cockburn, who have for decades been writing about the ‘masculinist’ postures and practices of warfare, as well as the situation of women caught up in them. Finally, I suggest that rethinking the gendered nature of warfare must also encompass the costs of war to men, whose fundamental vulnerability to psychological abuse and physical injury is often downplayed, whether in mainstream accounts of warfare or in more specific gender analysis. Feminists need to pay careful attention to masculinity and its fragmentations in addressing the topic of gender, war and militarism
