Evaluation of content knowledge and instructor impacts in a middle school outreach program
Despite general agreement that science outreach is important, the effectiveness of science outreach programs on participants' learning often is not assessed. Brain Explorers is a neuroscience outreach program that allows medical students to partner with Biomedical Sciences faculty to develop lesson plans with learning objectives, interactive experiments for middle schoolers, and assessments of learning. These lessons are then implemented through …

Exploring different framings of nature-based solutions with respect to governance, and citizen participation, beneficiaries, and quality of life outcomes
Cities are increasingly looking to nature-based solutions to not only tackle climate change, and biodiversity loss, reconnect people with nature but also make just transitions to sustainability. However, some scholars argue that normative framings that drive the implementation of NBS continue to reinforce hegemonism and neoliberalise nature. Furthermore, while cities increasingly foreground climate adaptation and green growth actions in social an…
W)uman Tong(ue)
The cantankerous public discourse generated by the author's bilingual newspaper columns published in the Jamaica Observer (May 1993 to January 1998) and the Jamaica Gleaner (March 2013 to the present) illustrates the conservative, neocolonial language ideology that still prevails in Jamaica. The essay demonstrates how contestations around national identity are articulated in a repressive language of moral authority. Speakers of "good" (English) a…

The measurement of resting muscle oxygenation capacity is under investigation in team sports. The aim of the current study was to observe the changes after a preseason, in muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) at rest and the relationship with body composition and jump power in soccer players. 17 soccer players (age 21.8 ± 2.2 years) were enrolled. Body composition, somatotype, countermovement jump (CMJ) and single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ) were…

Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…
Marronnages érotiques
Cousin jamaïcain du rap américain, le dancehall est souvent présenté comme l’enfant terrible du reggae. À l’instar du rap, c’est d’abord une musique qui porte l’expérience de la pauvreté. Elle résonne comme l’écho de la dureté des conditions de vie dans les ghettos de Kingston. Ainsi le dancehall fait-il souvent scandale auprès de la « bonne société », tant par ses mises en scène du sexe, de la violence et de l’argent – autant de sujets qui renvo…

P1-179 The Southampton women's survey
Introduction Epidemiological studies inform understanding of influences on health. Findings can lead directly to policy changes, but such changes need assessing, using formal intervention studies.

Caribbean Fashion Week
The elitist Jamaican motto, “Out of Many, One People,” privileges racial hybridity as the quintessential marker of national identity. Conversely, populist constructions of Jamaican identity acknowledge the primacy of the African majority. The “mixed-race” ideal inscribed in the national motto becomes the aesthetic standard for judging “beauty” and “ugliness.” Beauty contests, for example, become sites of contestation in which competing representa…
Pedestrian crosses’
Navigating between cultural theory and literary criticism, the paper argues that the Creole/Anglophone Caribbean, a site of multiple crossings, is a gateway to understanding complex processes of subversion of imperial discourses. Focusing on the vernacular poetry of Jamaican cultural icon Louise Bennett, the paper celebrates the re/production of embodied theory that originates in the centres of consciousness of the historically dehumanised people…

Mix Up the Indian with all the Patwa
Apache Indian's spectacular performance of the identity of ‘Jamaican’ dancehall DJ exemplifies the problematic politics of acculturation in ‘postcolonial’ Britain. Born in the Handsworth district of Birmingham, a major centre of Caribbean and South Asian migration, this multilingual, border-crossing, urban youth appropriates the ‘patwa’ language of Jamaicans and mixes this with his own Punjabi. What results is a polyvocal, rajamuffin sound that i…

A validation of the Defence Mechanism Inventory
The Defence Mechanism Inventory (Gleser & Ihilevich, 1969) was validated by examining the 16PF profiles of each group of defenders. These were found to correspond closely to profiles hypothesized on the basis of Freudian theory, and thus suggest that the test may be valid. The ipsative scoring system was thought to limit the clinical usefulness of the five scales and to hinder statistical analyses, and the development of a rating form of the ques…

Grenadian Popular Culture and the Rhetoric of Revolution
Merle Collins' intriguing novel Angel, which articulates the growth to political consciousness of its female protagonist, simultaneously traces the evolution of radical nationalist politics in Grenada. Focusing on three generations of Grenadian women, the novel uses the life of the individual as a metaphor for the body politic. Issues of colour, class, gender, (dis)empowerment, voice and identity are explored in this compelling first novel that h…

Musique et politique
Musiciens et chanteurs sont à l'origine de pratiques qui s'insèrent pleinement dans le jeu complexe des rapports sociaux. Aux stades de la création, de la production ou de la consommation, les musiques n'échappent jamais aux enjeux socio-culturels d'un lieu, d'une époque, d'une communauté humaine. Conformes ou dissidentes à l'égard des logiques dominantes, elles demeurent productrices d'émotions esthétiques et porteuses des liens sociaux. Les mus…

Data-Driven Modeling of Acoustical Instruments ∗
We present a framework for the analysis and synthesis of acoustical instruments based on data-driven probabilistic inference modeling. Audio time series and boundary conditions of a played instrument are recorded and the non-linear mapping from the control data into the audio space is inferred using the general inference framework of Cluster-Weighted Modeling. The resulting model is used for real-time synthesis of audio sequences from new input d…
