Difference and belonging, hopes and fears: parenting ‘mixed’ children and the implications for career development
No full textRosalind Edwards, Professor in Social Policy and Director of the Families & Social Capital Research Group, at London
South Bank University, discusses parenting issues and their implications for career development at the CeGS 10th
Annual Lecture held at the University of Derby on 18th December 2007.
Rosalind has researched and published widely on a range of issues concerning family policy, with a focus on the
perspectives of family members themselves. Her recent book publications include: Assessing Social Capital (ed. with J.
Holland and J. Franklin, 2007, Cambridge Scholars Press); Sibling Identity and Relationships: Sisters and Brothers (with L. Hadfield, H. Lucey and M. Mauthner, 2006, Routledge); Making Families: Moral Tales of Parenting and Stepparenting (with J. Ribbens McCarthy and V. Gillies, 2003, Sociology Press) and Children, Home and School: Resistance, Autonomy or Connection? (ed., 2002, Routledge Falmer). Rosalind's report (with C. Caballero and S.Puthussery) on 'Parenting 'mixed' children: negotiating difference and belonging in mixed race, ethnicity and faith families' will be published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation later this year. Rosalind is also co-editor of the International Journal of Social Research Methodology
Ischemic heart disease is associated with lower cortical volumetric bone mineral density of distal radius
No full textSummary: In this study, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) was used to investigate geometric, volumetric and microstructural parameters at the distal radius and at the distal tibia in participants with ischaemic heart disease. We found that, compared with participants without ischaemic heart disease, they had substantially lower cortical volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) at the distal radius.Introduction:HR-pQCT captures novel aspects of bone geometry and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and offers the ability to measure bone microarchitecture, but data relating measures obtained from this technique in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) are lacking.Methods: Here, we report an analysis from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, where we were able to study associations between measures obtained from HR-pQCT of distal radius and distal tibia in 350 participants (184 men and 166 women) aged 71.5–80.5 years with or without IHD (e.g. heart attack, angina or heart failure; n?=?75 and n?=?275, respectively).Results:Analyses for all participants (men and women together) revealed that cortical vBMD (Ct.vBMD) was lower (p?<?0.001) and cortical thickness (Ct.th) was not different (p?=?0.519), whereas cortical porosity (Ct.Po) was higher (p?=?0.016) in participants with IHD at the distal radius. Moreover, trabecular microarchitectural parameters were not significantly different in patients with IHD (p?>?0.05 for all). Adjustment for a priori confounders (age, gender, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus) did not materially affect the relationship described for Ct.vBMD (p?=?0.002), but differences in Ct.Po were attenuated. Analyses in men alone revealed that only Ct.vBMD was lower at the distal radius in participants with IHD with and without adjustment for a priori confounders (p?=?0.0002 and p?=?0.004, respectively), whereas no statistical differences were found in women, although patterns of differences were similar in both sexes. Moreover, no association was found between IHD and bone parameters at the distal tibia either in men or women.Conclusions:We have demonstrated that IHD is associated with lower Ct.vBMD of the distal radius.<br/
Bone microarchitecture in men and women with diabetes: The importance of cortical porosity
No full textHigh-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) captures novel aspects of bone geometry, volumetric bone mineral density and offers the ability to measure bone microarchitecture, but data relating measures obtained from this technique to diabetic status are inconsistent in women and lacking in men. Here, we report an analysis from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, where we were able to study associations between bone microarchitecture from HR-pQCT of distal radius and distal tibia in 332 participants (177 men and 155 women) aged 72.1–81.4 years with or without diabetes mellitus (DM); n = 29 (18 men and 11 women) and n = 303, respectively. Statistical analyses were performed separately for women and men. The mean (SD) age of participants was 76.4 (2.6) and 76.1 (2.5) years in women and men, respectively. Participants with DM differed significantly in terms of weight in both women (70.4 ± 12.3 vs. 80.3 ± 18.3 kg; p = 0.015) and men (81.7 ± 11.4 vs. 92.8 ± 16.3 kg; p < 0.001) but no differences were found in height, smoking status, alcohol intake, social class and physical activity among women or men. Analyses in women revealed that cortical pore volume (Ct.Po.V) was higher in participants with DM and close to statistical significance for cortical porosity (Ct.Po) (? = 0.76 [0.12, 1.41] z-score, p = 0.020 and ? = 0.62 [?0.02, 1.27] z-score, p = 0.059, respectively) at the distal radius. Adjustment for weight did not materially affect the relationship described for Ct.Po.V (? = 0.74 [0.09, 1.39], p = 0.027) and Ct.Po (? = 0.65 [?0.01, 1.30], p = 0.053) at the distal radius. After adjustment for weight, analyses in men revealed that Ct.Po and Ct.Po.V were higher in participants with DM (? = 0.57 [0.09, 1.06] z-score, p = 0.021 and ? = 0.48 [0.01, 0.95] z-score, p = 0.044, respectively) at the distal tibia. Analyses of distal radial and tibial trabecular bone parameters according to diabetic status revealed no significant differences among men or women after adjustment for weight. We found higher cortical porosity and cortical pore volume at the distal tibia in men with DM and higher cortical pore volume at the distal radius in women with a non-significant tendency for higher cortical porosity. The results of our study suggest that deficits in cortical bone exist both in older men and women with DM

The Scotsman, the Greek, the Mauritian company and the Internet: where on earth do things happen in cyberspace?
No full textThe author discusses the problems posed by internet jurisdiction, using the Bonnier Media case as an example. Edwards draws on legislative measures, in particular, the European Commission's Brussels 1 and 2 to expand the argument, and attempts to understand the complexities of the "where" in "where do things happen in cyberspace"
Islam and politics in the contemporary world
No full textThe dreadful events of 11 September have brought Islam to the forefront of world politics. This authoritative new book provides the analysis for a far-reaching introduction to Islamic politics for those coming to the subject for the first time. This account provides a deep insight into dimensions of Muslim political life; from democracy to despots, women to world affairs and history to heresy. Milton-Edwards offers an account of key contemporary concepts and debates that focus on the relationship between Islam and topical issues including politics, protest and opposition, violence, the West, democracy, the state and women. Giving an broad global overview the author includes a range of first-hand interviews with major Islamic figures and leaders of movements. Milton-Edwards charts the development of a political trend in Islam throughout the twentieth century and explores its myriad dimensions. The author also explores the prospects for political Islam in the new millennium. With further reading suggestions, and a glossary, Islam and Politics in the Contemporary World is an indispensable introduction to the subject and will prove invaluable as a textbook for students of politics and religion
