  • Framework for a Community Health Observing System for the Gulf of Mexico Region

    Open AccessPaul A Sandifer, Paul Sandifer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) region is prone to disasters, including recurrent oil spills, hurricanes, floods, industrial accidents, harmful algal blooms, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The GoM and other regions of the U.S. lack sufficient baseline health information to identify, attribute, mitigate, and facilitate prevention of major health effects of disasters. Developing capacity to assess adverse human health consequences of future disasters …

  • A review of the rural-digital policy agenda from a community resilience perspective

    Open AccessElisabeth Roberts, Brett Anne Anderson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2017

    This paper utilises a community resilience framework to critically examine the digital-rural policy agenda. Rural areas are sometimes seen as passive and static, set in contrast to the mobility of urban, technological and globalisation processes (Bell et al., 2010). In response to notions of rural decline (McManus et al., 2012) rural resilience literature posits rural communities as ‘active,’ and ‘proactive’ about their future (Skerratt, 2013), d…

  • The digital divide

    Open AccessL J Philip, Caitlin Cottrill et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2017Cited by: 28References: 1

    The Internet can bestow significant benefits upon those who use it. The prima facie case for an urban-rural digital divide is widely acknowledged, but detailed accounts of the spatial patterns of digital communications infrastructure are rarely reported. In this paper we present original analysis of data published by the UK telecommunications regulator, Ofcom, and identify and reflect on the entrenched nature of the urban-rural digital divide in …

  • Rural Citizens' Rights to Accessible Health Services

    Open AccessJean Farmer, Jane Farmer et al.ARTICLESociologia Ruralis2012Cited by: 1References: 14

    Rural citizens protest about changes in their model of local health services provision, appealing to a concept of social justice for equivalence of accessibility to services. This article explores the areas where citizens perceive deficits in social justice regarding services and the extent to which their appeals might have support in law and government guidance. The article explores how asymmetric philosophies of resource allocation and interpre…

  • What determines poverty transition? An investigation of women livestock farmers in Bangladesh

    Shaheen Akter, John FarringtonARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2011References: 2

    This article evaluates poverty transition using self-assessment in a quasi-experimental framework. Data are drawn from a survey conducted in 2006 of 400 women who were the beneficiaries of a poverty-alleviation programme which involved longer-term interventions towards building the strength of government departments, participating organisations, and beneficiaries. During the survey, when the project was approaching its conclusion, about 50 per ce…

  • What is Sustainability?

    Open AccessTom Kuhlman, John FarringtonARTICLESustainability2010

    Sustainability as a policy concept has its origin in the Brundtland Report of 1987. That document was concerned with the tension between the aspirations of mankind towards a better life on the one hand and the limitations imposed by nature on the other hand. In the course of time, the concept has been re-interpreted as encompassing three dimensions, namely social, economic and environmental. The paper argues that this change in meaning (a) obscur…

    The PolicyGrid project is exploring the role of Grid, Semantic Web, and Web 2.0 technologies to support e-Social Science, with particular emphasis on tools to facilitate evidence-based policy making. In this article, we discuss the challenges associated with construction of a provenance framework to support evidence-based policy assessment. We then discuss ourSpaces, a virtual research environment for e-Social Science that uses the Web 2.0 paradi…

  • Developing an Evaluation for Crosscutting Policy Goals

    Open AccessGabriel Bristow, Gillian Bristow et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2009References: 24

    This paper reports upon the development of a policy assessment tool designed to evaluate the outcomes of policies promoting increased accessibility to services in rural areas. Much public policy is now concerned with addressing issues (such as accessibility) that span traditional organisational responsibilities and boundaries and thus require 'joined-up' thinking. At the same time, public policy is also increasingly required to be 'evidence based…

  • Rural Labour Markets and Migration in South Asia

    Priya Deshingkar, John FarringtonBOOK2006

    The question of how rural labour markets and migration can be made to work better for poverty reduction is the focus of the paper. Using select case and longitudinal studies from five parts of India and Bangladesh, the key processes that shape rural labour markets and how these have evolved over time with the changing macro-economic, policy, agro-ecological and infrastructural context are discussed. The authors find that, while agricultural wages…

  • Community transport, social capital and social exclusion in rural areas

    Open AccessDavid Gray, Jon Shaw et al.ARTICLEArea2006Cited by: 20References: 21

    The concept of social capital has been used by numerous authors to investigate various topics. As yet, however, little attention has been paid to its relationship with mobility and social exclusion. Those findings which have been published suggest that the maintenance of social capital and associated networks within and between communities largely depends on mobility, but that local social networks are being undermined as a result of growing car …

  • Oxysterols induce interleukin‐1β production in human macrophages

    Open AccessDavid Gray, T Rosklint et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Clinical…2002

    Background Oxysterols are biologically active molecules generated during the oxidation of low‐density lipoprotein or formed enzymatically in vivo . In the atherosclerotic plaque newly recruited macrophages may be exposed to oxysterols present in the plaque. How these oxysterols affect the expression and secretion of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) in macrophages is not known. Therefore the aim of the present study was to inv…
