No full text'Do it Yourself' Girl Revolution: LadyFest, Performance and Fanzine Culture
No full textRiot grrrl began as an independent music and political movement in the early 1990s emerging initially in the USA and few years later in the UK. From the beginning riot grrrl embraced a 'do-it-yourself' ethos operating outside the mainstream music business organising independent music festivals, workshop events and encouraging self-published fanzines (fan magazines which were distributed primarily through word of mouth, music gigs, artists and zine book fairs or by post). These zines became recognisable forms of personal expression and made visible a specific DIY approach alongside the development of a coherent style of graphic language in the producer's use of the photocopier, handwritten and graffiti texts, cut-n-paste and ransom note lettering style, collage and the co-option of mainstream media imagery. These production techniques made fanzine publishing accessible and played a central role in the development of a non-hierarchical community.
The main intent of this talk is to explore the idea of 'event as performance' using as a case study the specific activities of riot grrrl and focussing on a series of international events called 'LadyFests' and the graphic language of self-published riot grrrl fanzines. This will be achieved by examining the origins of today's riot grrrl performances (e.g. theatre, spoken word, music events) in 1970s feminist art, as well as locating the activities within the specific context of their counter-cultural predecesors including punk and punk performance

A cross species metabolomics analysis on the effect of biological stressors such as depression and sleep loss on the host metabolome
No full textIt would be next to impossible to list the many people who have supported and helped me get to where I am today. My trajectory from birth to graduate school has not been linear. I have always had a natural curiosity about the world around me; starting from my time growing up as an illegal immigrant in the city of Los Angeles, to my time served as rifleman in the United State Marine Corps, and my current position as a scientist. The richness of these experiences has had a profound influence on the way I approach life. Through it all, Patricia, my mother, sacrificed everything and made this possible. Cristina, my younger sister, has been a constant reminder that I have an obligation as an older brother to make her proud. Arpa, my love and joy, has walked this crucible called graduate school next to me, and has been a constant source of love and encouragement. To the three most important people in my life, thank you for everything. My success as a scientist can be attributed to the various scientist I can call mentors and friends. Professor Jamil Momand, my undergraduate advisor and research mentor, introduced me to the field of biochemistry and encourage me to pursue my Ph.D.. Thank you for your guidance and support. Professor Pieter C. Dorrestein, my Ph.D mentor, provided me with a once in a life time experience graduate education in mass spectrometry and its application in life sciences. I cannot express how thankful I am for your mentorship, guidance, and support. The environment that you have cultivated in the Dorrestein lab provided me with the tools and opportunities to grow and succeed as a researcher. I will always appreciate everything that you have done for me. I would also like to thank my committee members for their role in my graduate education, thank you Professor Rob Knight, Professor Rachel Dutton, Professor Susan S. Golden, and Professor Jose Pruneda-Paz.Chapter 2, in full, is a reprint of the material as it appears in Journal of The American Society for Mass Spectrometry 2019. da Silva, R.

What to do when you've tried it all: the development and pilot evaluation of a skills group for the parents of anxious youth
No full textResearch has identified a role for parenting behaviors in the maintenance of child and adolescent anxiety disorders (McCleod, Wood, & Weisz, 2007). This paper reviews the experimental and theoretical literature on the relationship between parenting and youth anxiety as well as the empirical support for parent involvement in child cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The present study describes the development and pilot evaluation of a brief cognitive-behaviorally oriented parent treatment group (CBT+PG) designed to augment individual child CBT for anxiety and presents a conceptual model on which the group is based, focusing on the relationship between parenting behaviors, parent and child distress, parental experiential avoidance, and youth anxiety. This study reports preliminary findings, including feasibility and acceptability of the program based on participant and expert feedback. It also includes case descriptions of three families who participated in the CBT+PG program and three families who received only individual child CBT. Preliminary results support the feasibility and acceptability of running this program in an outpatient setting. Parents were satisfied with the program (M=29.2, SD=.24, possible range=9-36), expert reviewers received it favorably (M=6.4, SD=.26, possible range=1-7), and it appeared to bestow some clinical benefits. This study was unique in that it assessed parenting behaviors, parental experiential avoidance, and parent psychopathology in addition to child outcomes. Discussion elaborates upon the role of these variables and implications for future research and practice involving parents in child anxiety treatment.Psy.

Acute Sedentary Behaviour and Markers of Cardiometabolic Risk: A Systematic Review of Intervention Studies
No full textNorth Americans spend half their waking hours engaging in sedentary behaviour. Although several recent interventions suggest that short bouts of uninterrupted sedentary behaviour may result in acute increases in cardiometabolic risk, this literature has not been reviewed systematically. This study performed a systematic review of the impact of uninterrupted sedentary behaviour lasting ≤7 days on markers of cardiometabolic risk (insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and fasting insulin, glucose, and lipid levels) in humans. Interventions were identified through systematic searches of Medline and Embase and screened by 2 independent reviewers. A total of 25 interventions were identified that examined the impact of imposed sedentary behaviour on biomarkers of interest. The majority of these studies focused on healthy young men, with very little identified research on females or other age groups. We found consistent, moderate quality evidence that uninterrupted sedentary behaviour ≤7 days results in moderate and deleterious changes in insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and plasma triglyceride levels. In contrast, there is inconsistent, very low-quality evidence linking uninterrupted sedentary behaviour with changes in insulin, glucose, and HDL- and LDL-cholesterol levels. These findings suggest that uninterrupted bouts of sedentary behaviour should be avoided in order to prevent or attenuate transient increases in metabolic risk
Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate
