The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy
No full textSequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes binding to host receptors in the placenta such as chondroitin sulphate A (CSA). Identification of the parasite ligand(s) responsible for placental adhesion could lead to the development of a vaccine to induce antibodies to prevent placental sequestration. Such a vaccine would reduce the maternal anaemia and infant deaths that are associated with malaria in pregnancy. Current research indicates that the parasite ligands mediating placental adhesion may be members of the P. falciparum variant surface antigen family PfEMP1, encoded by var genes. Two relatively well-conserved subfamilies of var genes have been implicated in placental adhesion, however, their role remains controversial. This review examines the evidence for and against the involvement of var genes in placental adhesion, and considers whether the most appropriate vaccine candidates have yet been identified

Getting behind the blue curtain: managing police integrity
No full textThis chapter explores emerging strategies designed to reduce police officer corruption and malfeasance. Codes of ethical conduct, disciplinary measures, cultural programmes, training and professionalisation of policing have developed in response to various challenges to police integrity. It also explores each of these drawing on international examples. The chapter considers how they operate in relation to dominant police subcultural values of loyalty and camaraderie that have often amounted to a 'blue curtain' that prevents officers reporting concerns about the misconduct of their colleagues. It outlines some changes to the nature of challenges to police integrity that have featured in recent debates about accountability and police integrity. A recurrent challenge to police accountability is that a great deal of policing is conducted in conditions of low visibility and therefore relatively difficult for managers or leaders to interrogate. Finally, the chapter concludes that responses to misconduct by police have developed in useful ways, significant challenges remain

The Plays and Poems of Nicholas Rowe: The Late Plays
No full textNicholas Rowe was the first Poet Laureate of the Georgian era. A fascinating and important yet largely overlooked figure in eighteenth-century literature, he is the ‘lost Augustan’. His plays are important both for the way they address the political and social concerns of the day and for reflecting a period in which the theatre was in crisis. This edition sets out to demonstrate Rowe’s mastery of the early eighteenth century theatre, especially his providing significant roles for women, and examines the political and historical stances of his plays. It also highlights his work as a translator, which was both innovative and deeply in tune with current practices as exemplified by John Dryden and Alexander Pope. This is the first scholarly edition of all Rowe’s plays and poems and is accompanied by 15 musical scores and 31 black and white illustrations
