Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement

Digit Ratio (2D:4D): A Biomarker for Prenatal Sex Steroids and Adult Sex Steroids in Challenge Situations
No full textDigit ratio (2D:4D) denotes the relative length of the second and fourth digits. This ratio is considered to be a biomarker of the balance between fetal testosterone (T) and estrogen (E) in a narrow window of early ontogeny. Evidence for this assertion is derived from direct and indirect measures of prenatal hormonal exposure (in experimental animals, via amniotic fluid samples and in the study of sex-typical traits) in relation to 2D:4D. In contrast, the relationships between 2D:4D and levels of sex steroids in adults are less clear, as many correlational studies of 2D:4D and adult sex steroids have concluded that this association is statistically non-significant. Here, we suggest that in order to understand the link between 2D:4D and sex hormones, one must consider both fetal organizing and adult activating effects of T and E. In particular, we hypothesize that 2D:4D correlates with organizing effects on the endocrine system that moderate activating effects in adulthood. We argue that this is particularly evident in “challenging” conditions such as aggressive and sexual encounters, in which individuals show increased levels of T. We discuss this refinement of the 2D:4D paradigm in relation to the links between 2D:4D and sports performance, and aggression

Prenatal multiple micronutrient-fortified balanced energy-protein supplementation and newborn telomere length and mitochondrial DNA content: a randomized controlled efficacy trial in rural Burkina Faso
No full textBackground: Evidence regarding the effectiveness of prenatal nutritional supplements has mainly
considered anthropometric pregnancy outcomes. The effect on markers of health and disease, such as
offspring telomere length (TL) and mitochondrial DNA content (mtDNAc) is unknown.
Objectives: We assessed the efficacy of maternal multiple micronutrient (MMN)-fortified balanced-energy
protein (BEP) and iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation on newborn TL as a secondary outcome and
mtDNAc as a non-declared outcome.
Design: We conducted a randomized controlled trial in rural Burkina Faso, among pregnant females (15−40
years old) enrolled at < 21 weeks of gestation. Mothers received either MMN-fortified BEP and IFA
(intervention) or IFA only (control) throughout pregnancy. Whole arterial blood samples were collected
from the umbilical cord of 104 control and 90 intervention group infants, respectively. Average relative TL
and mtDNAc were measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Linear regression models were
fitted to assess TL and mtDNAc differences across trial arms.
Results: We found that a combined daily MMN-fortified BEP supplement and IFA tablet did not affect
newborn TL [β = -0.010 (95% CI: -0.057, 0.036); P = 0.662] or mtDNAc [β = 0.065 (95% CI: -0.203, 0.073);Funding
The MIcronutriments pour la SAnté de la Mère et de l’Enfant III (MISAME-III) efficacy trial was
supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Grant number: OPP1175213). The funder had no role in
study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The telomere
length and mitochondrial DNA analysis was supported by the Research Foundation Flanders (Grant numbers:
