Ronald Lockley and the archipelagic imagination
No full textRonald Lockley (1903–2000), distinguished naturalist, pioneering conservationist, author in multiple genres, and paradigmatic modern ‘island dweller’, played a crucial role in defining our sense of Welsh and wider archipelagic ‘islandness’. Drawing on ‘nissology’—a dynamic ‘research frontier’ that brings together the arts, sciences, and social sciences to scrutinize not only islands ‘in their own terms’, but also the complex cultural condition of islandness—this chapter offers an analysis of how Welsh island space is mediated through Lockley’s plethora of discourses, from autobiographical narratives of island existence to definitive field studies and scientific papers, to works of popular anthropology, social history, and the novel Seal Woman (1974). It demonstrates how Lockley’s construction of a series of relational Welsh identities is linked to wider British and global archipelagic locations of culture

Boolean Congruence Lattices of Orthodox Semigroups
No full textThe problem of characterizing the semigroups with Boolean congruence lattices has been solved for several classes of semigroups. Hamilton [9] and the author of this paper [1] studied the question for semilattices. Hamilton and Nordahl [10] considered commutative semigroups, Fountain and Lockley [7,8] solved the problem for Clifford semigroups and idempotent semigroups, in [1] the author generalized their results to completely regular semigroups. Finally, Zhitomirskiy [19] studied the question for inverse semigroups.</jats:p
Image-based modelling of cell reorientation
No full textDirected cell motility plays a key role in many areas of biology, with cells able to reorient quickly in response to changes of an extracellular stimuli. A complex signalling network directs this response, which motivates the use of conceptual mathematical models that replicate aspects of this behaviour and can be more readily analysed. Comparisons between such models have more focused on the qualitative differences between them. We wished to construct a framework for the rigorous comparison between models, using cell repolarisation in response to shear ow change.
We fitted three reaction-diffusion models of cell polarity to experimental data of dictyostelium amoeba repolarising in response to mechanical shear flow. Experiments performed under different conditions were fitted simultaneously, to provide models with a range of cellular dynamics, with the models being fit to spatio-temporal data of cortex fluorescence of an F-actin reporter. All models were able to give a satisfactory t, with parameter identifiability determined using the pro le likelihood. The Meinhardt and Levchenko models were able to obtain better fits than the Otsuji model. Analysis of the model behaviour and parameter identifiability prompted alterations of the models, which resulted in a fully identi able two-variable Meinhardt model.
Simulations of the Meinhardt and Levchenko models were used to test their behaviour over time frames past which the models had been tfitted. This motivated changes to the model parameters to obtain the desired long-term behaviour. Further simulations were run to elicit the model response to a changing external signal beyond that seen in the fitting, with the models being able to adapt to a moving signal, and respond to multiple simultaneous signals.
Further fitting of the Meinhardt and Levchenko models was conducted using single cell data. The models were able to t well to data taken from both repolarising and unstimulated cells, showing that these models are able to replicate both mean and single cell spatio-temporal imaging data

The Sociology of sleep
No full textSleep, until recently, has been a neglected topic or issue within sociology and the social sciences and humanities in general. At first glance this may seem unsurprising given the predominant waking assumptions, concerns or preoccupations of these disciplines. Further reflection, however, reveals the shortcomings of any such neglect or dismissal of sleep as a topic worthy of sociological attention. Sleep is a socially, culturally and historically variable phenomenon. How we sleep, when we sleep, where we sleep, what meaning and value we accord sleep, let alone with whom we sleep, are all important topics of sociological investigation which do not simply vary around the world, both past and present, but within different segments of society and within and between cultures. The nature, quantity and quality of sleep, moreover, is clearly important both for the individual and society in terms of health and safety, productivity and performance, quality of life and well-being. In part a response to this past neglect, and in part a response to broader social trends and transformations regarding sleep, sociologists and others in the social sciences and humanities are now turning their attention to what might broadly be termed the ‘sleep and society’ agenda (Williams 2005; Williams 2008). Sleep, in this respect, is not simply a rich and fascinating sociological topic in its own right, but a valuable new window or way of approaching a range of existing sociological research agendas on issues as diverse as work, health, gender, ageing and family life. This work in turn opens up significant new opportunities to explore the dynamic interrelations between social and biological factors regarding sleep and sleep disruption across the life course. In these and many other ways then, a sociological approach to sleep is not simply long overdue, but a timely and valuable complement to work in related fields of inquiry such as sleep epidemiology and public health which, in similar fashion, take us far beyond the sleep laboratory or sleep clinic to broader issues concerning sleep, health and society. It is therefore to a further consideration and elaboration of this newly emerging sleep and society agenda within sociology that we now turn in this chapter. We outline several strands of recent sociological work - starting with some preliminary points regarding the very conceptualisation and measurement of ‘sleep’ as a methodological backdrop to the sociological themes and issues that follow
