Chronic Toxicological Effects in Daphnia magna from Exposure to PMMA Nanoplastics
No full textPlastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Performing environmentally relevant chronic exposures with the indicator species Daphnia magna will provide insight on the long-term effects of the presence of NPs in the environment. In this study week old D. magna were exposed to 25 and 50 nm PMMA nanospheres at 5 and 50 mg/L. Each triplicate of exposures and unexposed controls contained 5 individuals that were reared for 28-days. Mortality, immobility, growth, and reproductive output were assessed. The data showed a significant effect on mortality rates of individuals exposed to 25 nm plastics. The 50 nm exposures did not show any observable toxicological effects, suggesting particle size is driving toxicity. No significant toxicological effects were observed on growth or reproductive output amongst the exposures. Further investigations using a variety of different plastic types, shapes, sizes, and surface coatings are essential to better assess the chronic toxicological effects of plastic NPs.Key Words: Ecotoxicity; plastic, nanotoxicology, polymethyl methacrylate, environmental healt
State fragmentation and citizen education: creating a culture of citizenship in Bogotá, Colombia
No full textMy dissertation is an ethnography of governance in Colombia. I argue that despite widespread understandings of the Colombian state as failed, it actually plays an important role in the everyday lives of citizens. I argue that the Colombian state continues to govern through two key mechanisms:1. the rapid construction of state institutions and policies that clutter symbolic and physical space 2. the education of citizens such that they learn to be active participants in providing services traditionally forthcoming from the state, like security and justice. I explore how these interconnected processes of state and citizen formation are articulated through citizen culture, a novel crime reduction policy that has turned the capital city of Bogotá into an international model of best governance practices.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaby Stacey Leigh HuntIncludes bibliographical reference
Conjuring our beings: Stacey Gillian Abe and Immy Mali in conversational partnership
No full textThe series of Conversational Partnerships began in 2017 in African Arts vol. 50, no. 2, with a conversation between two artists: Eria Nsubuga SANE from Uganda and Sikhumbuzo Makandula from South Africa. The format of a “conversational partnership” (Rubin and Rubin 2012: 7) emphasizes the cocreation of meaning by the interviewer and interviewee as coauthors. This enables a move away from the art history format of the interviewer (usually a writer) assuming the role of the sole author and the interviewee (often an artist) having no status as an author despite the fact that her or his practice-led creation of knowledge is foundational to the content of the interview. Stacey Gillian Abe and Immy Mali participated in a joint artists' residency as part of the RAW program at Rhodes University in South Africa from November to December 2017. During this time, they engaged with each other's practice-led work, and they created this conversational partnership at a writing breakaway in the Eastern Cape

No full textCritical Review of the Literature Abstract
Background: Parents of children and young people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often “accommodate” (adapt their behaviour), attempting to help alleviate their child’s distress. However, the varying types and function of accommodation that can be exhibited are poorly understood. Aims: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the types of parental accommodation. It also aimed to evaluate
how these types of accommodation relate to the cognitive behavioural understanding of OCD, and the implications for treatment. Method: The databases searched in this systematic review were Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Ovid SP, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, ProQuest ASSIA Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, and Proquest Sociology Collection. Publication dates ranged from January 2008 to May 2021. Studies were included if they were peer reviewed, quantitative articles or review papers, used cognitive-behavioural theory, used a sample of children and young people with OCD, and accommodation was explored descriptively or categorically. Results: The search returned 1124 papers; 68 papers were selected for detailed screening. One additional paper was included from citation and hand searches. A final 11 papers were identified for the review. All papers demonstrated the presence of five theoretically derived categories of accommodation behaviours. However, some
categories identified in papers overlapped as accommodation is mainly measured and operationalised by topography rather than function. Conclusions: The findings suggest accommodation is frequently observed in young people with OCD. Further research should examine how distinct these categories are in terms of function as present measures of accommodation overlook the function of and motivation for such behaviour.
Service Improvement Project Abstract
Background: Across the UK, autistic young people receive very little post-diagnostic support despite the importance highlighted in policies and best practice guidelines. This study reported on a service improvement project exploring the needs of young people post-diagnosis and delivering a service user informed post-diagnostic support package. Method: A sample of twenty-two (n = 22) young people aged 13-18, and their parents, who were diagnosed within the last year were recruited using purposive sampling within a CAMHS service in Oxfordshire, UK. The research was in two phases. Phase one gathered feedback from young people and parents on what support they had and what support they would like post-diagnosis. Phase two was a tailor-made post-diagnostic support package in line with their feedback. Results: The results of phase one indicated a need for young people to meet and hear from others diagnosed with autism , as well as speak to a clinician. The results from phase two found young people enjoyed a live space to meet other autistic young people and found the chance to speak to a clinician and have their views heard valuable. Conclusions: Further improvement and provision of post- diagnostic support for young people is needed. Post-diagnostic support is recommended to be routinely offered to young people in services.
Theoretically Driven (Main) Research Paper Abstract
Background: Current research suggests that foster carers experience higher carer stress than biological parents and face more behaviours that challenge from the children they care for. Reflective functioning (the ability to view one’s own mental state separately to the child’s; viewing them as a separate, independent entity) may facilitate foster carers to persevere when highly stressed and faced with behaviours that challenge. Wellbeing factors may also play such a role. Aims: This study aimed to explore whether foster carers who are highly stressed also report their foster child to have higher levels of behaviours that challenge. It also aimed to explore whether higher stress impacted upon a carer’s ability to use reflective functioning and their wellbeing. Finally, it explored whether wellbeing moderated the impact of behaviours that challenge. Method: Seventy- eight (n = 78) foster carers took part by completing online questionnaires. The highest and lowest scoring forty-six (n = 46) foster carers on a measure of carer stress were compared. The total sample was used to explore whether wellbeing was a moderator in a regression model. Results: The results showed that carers with high parental stress reported higher levels of behaviours that challenge and had lower levels of wellbeing. Reflective functioning abilities did not differ between the high and low stress groups. Wellbeing did not moderate the impact behaviours that challenge had on carer stress. Conclusions: Further research is required to explore variability in reflective functioning abilities in foster carers, and factors that help moderate the impact of factors that increase carer stress
Book review: Photography of protest and community: the radical collectives of the 1970s by Noni Stacey
No full textIn Photography of Protest and Community: The Radical Collectives of the 1970s, Noni Stacey shows how a 1970s network of London-based photography collectives raised fundamental questions about the politics of photography, the role and responsibilities of photographers in relation to local communities and the uses of photography in the context of social activism. This book is a welcome addition to the expanding field of research on the photography of protest, writes Mathilde Bertrand, contributing to the ongoing documentation of this strong current in British photographic history. If you are interested in this book review, you can read an LSE RB interview with author Dr Noni Stacey.
