Braverman and Labor and Monopoly Capital
This paper appraises the work of Harry Braverman (1920–76), specifically his classic, Labor and Monopoly Capital, published in 1974 and remaining an influential reference for what has become the labour process approach to the study of work in capitalist societies. Labor and Monopoly Capital (LMC) reshaped what was then known as industrial sociology in the English-speaking world and was impactful across a range of disciplines, including history, o…
One hundred years of EEG for brain and behaviour research
Creativity and Education
Formal popular music education (PME) faces a number of challenges; not least how to sufficiently engage learners in creative tasks that help to develop their skills and knowledge, whilst at the same time preparing them for employment in the: ‘ever-changing dynamic of the industries they hope to work in’ (McIntyre et al, 2016, p. 2). The following study draws upon data gathered during a Practice Based Enquiry (PBE) and the specific context of teac…
Sex and diet-dependent gene alterations in human and rat brains with a history of nicotine exposure
These results suggest that a history of long-term nicotine exposure in humans alters the expression of sphingolipid metabolism-related ( CERKL , SMYD1 , and FA2H ) and neuronal ( CHRNA10 ) marker genes similarly as compared to rats. Sex- and diet-dependent differences appear in nicotine-exposed rats, critical in regulating sphingolipid metabolism and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This research enhances the construct validity of rat models of…

Enhancing neuroimaging genetics through meta-analysis for Tourette syndrome (Enigma-TS)
Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics, and high-comorbidity rates with other neuropsychiatric disorders. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), major depressive disorder (MDD), and anxiety disorders (AXDs) are among the most prevalent TS comorbidities. To date, studies on TS brain structure and function have been limited in size wit…
Analysis of structural brain asymmetries in attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder in 39 datasets
OBJECTIVE: Some studies have suggested alterations of structural brain asymmetry in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but findings have been contradictory and based on small samples. Here, we performed the largest ever analysis of brain left-right asymmetry in ADHD, using 39 datasets of the ENIGMA consortium. METHODS: We analyzed asymmetry of subcortical and cerebral cortical structures in up to 1,933 people with ADHD and 1,829 una…
Epilogue
In writing this book we have focussed above all on what we see as most interesting and valuable in the interviews. Yet, from the start it also seemed important to reflect on what is missing. Initially, that arose in terms of people. We noted significant researchers who we could not interview because they had died, or were unwell, or – rarely – did not want to record a life story in terms of our aims. We began with researchers who had direct exper…

Behavioral problems in perinatally HIV-infected young children with early antiretroviral therapy and HIV-exposed uninfected young children
Although behavioral problems have been observed in children and adolescents with perinatally-acquired HIV infection (PHIV), behavioral information regarding younger PHIV children are scarce. This study aims to identify behavioral problems in PHIV and HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children and to evaluate factors associated with such problems. A prospective study of PHIV and HEU young children was conducted. Behavioral problems were assessed with t…
Coping and resilience in riverine Bangladesh
This paper investigates the impacts of two successive years of severe floods on households, their coping strategies and resilience to riverine hazards in northern Bangladesh. Based on focus groups and interviews with the same households after floods in 2016 and 2017, we found a cumulative decline in assets through sale of livestock and borrowing, and almost all households evacuated short term to higher places. Three notable recent ways that vulne…
Hyphen
Narrative clinical records and biomedical articles constitute rich sources of information about phenotypes , i.e., markers distinguishing individuals with specific medical conditions from the general population. Phenotypes help clinicians to provide personalised treatments. However, locating information about them within huge document repositories is difficult, since each phenotypic concept can be mentioned in many ways. Normalisation methods aut…

Neural correlates of proactive and reactive aggression in adolescent twins
Verbal and physical aggression begin early in life and steadily decline thereafter in normal development. As a result, elevated aggressive behavior in adolescence may signal atypical development and greater vulnerability for negative mental and health outcomes. Converging evidence suggests that brain disturbances in regions involved in impulse control, emotional regulation, and sensation seeking may contribute to heightened aggression. However, l…
Underwater noise modelling for environmental impact assessment
Assessment of underwater noise is increasingly required by regulators of development projects in marine and freshwater habitats, and noise pollution can be a constraining factor in the consenting process. Noise levels arising from the proposed activity are modelled and the potential impact on species of interest within the affected area is then evaluated. Although there is considerable uncertainty in the relationship between noise levels and impa…
Support Vector Machine Classification of Major Depressive Disorder Using Diffusion-Weighted Neuroimaging and Graph Theory
Recently, there has been considerable interest in understanding brain networks in major depressive disorder (MDD). Neural pathways can be tracked in the living brain using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI); graph theory can then be used to study properties of the resulting fiber networks. To date, global abnormalities have not been reported in tractography-based graph metrics in MDD, so we used a machine learning approach based on "support vector …
Framework for assessing impacts of pile-driving noise from offshore wind farm construction on a harbour seal population
Offshore wind farm developments may impact protected marine mammal populations, requiring appropriate assessment under the EU Habitats Directive. We describe a framework developed to assess population level impacts of disturbance from piling noise on a protected harbour seal population in the vicinity of proposed wind farm developments in NE Scotland. Spatial patterns of seal distribution and received noise levels are integrated with available da…

Sustainability of Community-Based Organizations in Bangladesh
Community-based management of commons is now widely promoted, but the sustainability of project based institutions has been questioned. In Bangladesh since the mid-1990s many community-based organizations (CBOs) have been formed to manage fisheries and water, empower local communities, and achieve a fairer distribution of benefits. Assessment of 153 CBOs receiving limited facilitation to share lessons revealed that most improved the productivity …
Local institutions for floodplain management in Bangladesh and the influence of the Flood Action Plan
Institutional arrangements are a key issue for sustainable natural resource management. Recent water and fisheries management projects in Bangladesh have established new local institutions for floodplain management based on community organizations. Although the Flood Action Plan (FAP) was the culmination of an earlier emphasis on technical and structural ‘solutions’ to managing floods and water in Bangladesh, the expected large engineering works …

Dynamic mapping of human cortical development during childhood through early adulthood
We report the dynamic anatomical sequence of human cortical gray matter development between the age of 4–21 years using quantitative four-dimensional maps and time-lapse sequences. Thirteen healthy children for whom anatomic brain MRI scans were obtained every 2 years, for 8–10 years, were studied. By using models of the cortical surface and sulcal landmarks and a statistical model for gray matter density, human cortical development could be visu…

Trade, Foreigninvestment, Andsecurity
Trade interdependence does not always reduce hostility between states. It depends on whether the trade represents vulnerability or sensitivity interdependence. Portfolio investment also does not represent a tie that binds politically. Even more important, foreign direct investment (FDI) represents a link that is costly (and time-consuming) to break. Thus, FDI links between countries are more likely to reduce conflict than trading links. Evidence …

Distributional and Social Impacts of Flood Control in Bangladesh
The losses and suffering of the rural poor of Bangladesh during floods are frequently in the attention of the world media. This is despite a considerable investment in flood protection over the past three decades. This paper reports on distributional and socio-economic impacts of selected flood control projects which were subject to multidisciplinary evaluations using both rapid appraisal and sample survey methods. Flood protection has disadvanta…

The Family and Child-Rearing as Forces for Economic Change
The impact of the family on the economy has been accepted as a general principle by sociologists; it is widely assumed by both parents and politicians that family values, instilled through child-rearing, are a potent force in economy and society; and it has been suggested that changes in family values may be one factor in explaining British economic decline. Yet there has been remarkably little systematic investigation of these influential assump…

Marx and the Idea of the Labour Process
In modern studies of work, concepts such as deskilling, fragmentation and hierarchical control play a prominent part. Disconnected from and unrelated to an economic and historical context, they make little more than a fleeting, descriptive sense. Marx’s writings, particularly in Capital, Volume One , provide such a framework. Marx argued in general terms about the nature of work relationships inside a capitalist mode of production. In addition he…
The Other Division of Labour
This not untypical quote emphasises that all labour power is not regarded or treated equally. So there is ‘another’ division of labour, in this case a system of allocating particular tasks to men and others to women. Marx used the distinction between a social and technical division of labour to differentiate between the process, in any system of production, whereby groups of workers are allocated to different branches of production, under capital…
Braverman and the Re-discovery of the Labour Process
After the long and largely barren period when work became a forgotten issue, studies of the labour process have blossomed to such an extent that they constitute a growth industry in themselves. The major research of Braverman (1974), Friedman (1977a), Edwards (1979) and Burawoy (1979) concerning the development of the capitalist labour process as a whole has stimulated, and coexists with, studies of particular issues or industries (Gorz, 1976a; Z…
The Sociological Study of Work
The slogan of the 1933 World Fair was ‘Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms’. Within the social sciences the conceptualisation of the changing nature of work has often corresponded with this mechanistic notion. Scientists and technologists are seen as making independent discoveries which constantly renew the productive apparatus, while managers put the results to their most efficient use, and workers react and adapt to the changes. Meanw…
Forms of Control and Resistance
Under all systems of social production, management of physical and human resources is necessary. Within capitalism, the managing of resources has become management , a specialised function with two dimensions. Co-ordination is necessary to avoid the haphazard and wasteful use of the instruments of labour, and to meet the requirements of purchasing, finance, marketing and other factors. Exercise of authority over the labour of others is, however, …

Mitigating flood losses in the active floodplains of Bangladesh
The inhabitants of the active floodplain of Bangladesh’s main rivers receive little government support to help them cope with floods and have developed their own strategies. Major flood projection works are not possible in these areas where floods and erosion annually affect many vulnerable people. Surveys of the impact of severe floods found that total losses and the dislocation to their lives is substantial. These loss data were used to assess …
