  • Bipedal locomotion in zoo apes: Revisiting the hylobatian model for bipedal origins

    Open Access•Kyle H Rosen, Caroline Jones et al.•ARTICLE•Evolutionary Human Sciences•2022•Cited by: 7•References: 4

    Bipedal locomotion is a hallmark of being human. Yet the body form from which bipedalism evolved remains unclear. Specifically, the positional behaviour (i.e. orthograde vs. pronograde) and the length of the lumbar spine (i.e. long and mobile vs. short and stiff) of the last common ancestor (LCA) of the African great apes and humans require further investigation. While fossil evidence would be the most conclusive, the paucity of hominid fossils f…

  • The issue is not ‘compliance’: Exploring exposure to malaria vector bites through social dynamics in Burkina Faso

    Open Access•Federica Guglielmo, Hilary Ranson et al.•ARTICLE•Anthropology and Medicine•2021

    Credited with averting almost 68% of new cases between 2000 and 2015, insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) are one of the most efficacious malaria-prevention tools. Their effectiveness, however, depends on if and how they are used, making 'compliance' (and the social factors affecting it) a key area of interest for research on malaria transmission. This article situates the notion of compliance with 'bednet use' within everyday practices in an area…

  • Infant malnutrition treatment in Kenya: Health worker and breastfeeding peer supporter experiences

    Open Access•Sophie Chabeda, Dorothy Oluoch et al.•ARTICLE•Maternal and Child Nutrition•2021

    Acute malnutrition in infants under 6 months (u6m) is increasingly recognised as a global public health problem. The World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for inpatient nutritional rehabilitation of infants u6m is re-lactation: the re-establishment of exclusive breastfeeding. Evidence suggests these guidelines are rarely followed in many low-income settings. Two studies of infant nutritional rehabilitation undertaken in three public hospital…

The monkeys held one to four balls in onehand and dropped the balls individually into a vertical tube. Multiple simple g…

  • Mothers' experiences of exclusive breastfeeding in a postdischarge home setting

    Open Access•Manya Van Ryneveld, Martha Mwangome et al.•ARTICLE•Maternal and Child Nutrition•2020

    Re-establishment and maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is recommended by the World Health Organization for the nutritional rehabilitation of malnourished infants under 6 months; however, there is no explicit guidance on how this should be achieved. The IBAMI study-a pilot study conducted in Kilifi, Kenya-implemented these recommendations using an intervention for hospitalized infants and their mothers that included ward-based breastfee…

  • Maternal education influences Australian infants’ language experience from six months

    Open Access•Anna Dwyer, Caroline Jones et al.•ARTICLE•Infancy•2019

    Disparities in children's early language skills associated with socioeconomic factors have led to many studies examining children's early language environments, but few as yet in the first year of life. This longitudinal study assessed the home language environments of 50 Australian infants, who varied in maternal education (university education, or not). Full‐day audio recordings were collected and analyzed using the LENA system when infants wer…

  • Individualized breastfeeding support for acutely ill, malnourished infants under 6 months old

    Open Access•Martha Mwangome, Sheila Murunga et al.•ARTICLE•Maternal and Child Nutrition•2019

    Reestablishing exclusive breastfeeding is the cornerstone of the 2013 World Health Organization (WHO) treatment guidelines for acute malnutrition in infants less than 6 months. However, no studies have investigated guideline implementation and subsequent outcomes in a public hospital setting in Africa. To facilitate implementation of the WHO 2013 guidelines in Kilifi County Hospital, Kenya, we developed standard operating procedure, recruited, an…

  • Foraging and inter‐individual distances of bearded capuchin monkeys

    Open Access•Allison Howard, Kumar Mainali et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Primatology•2018

    Extractive foraging is a skill young capuchin monkeys learn over time. A key unknown is whether unskilled individuals occupy spatial positions that increase their opportunities to learn. We observed the spatial positions of individuals in a group of capuchin monkeys in Northeastern Brazil. To improve our understanding of the relationship between learning by young capuchin monkeys and inter-individual distance, we investigated the associations bet…

  • “If it's issues to do with nutrition…I can decide…”: Gendered decision-making in joining community-based child nutrition interventions within rural coastal Kenya

    Open Access•Kelly W Muraya, Caroline Jones et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2017

    Gender roles and relations play an important role in child health and nutritional status. While there is increasing recognition of the need to incorporate gender analysis in health planning and programme development, there has been relatively little attention paid to the gendered nature of child nutrition interventions. This qualitative study undertaken in rural Coastal Kenya aimed to explore the interaction between household gender relations and…

  • Variation in Voice Onset Time in Stops in Gurindji Kriol: Picture Naming and Conversational Speech

    Caroline Jones, Felicity Meakins•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Linguistics•2013•Cited by: 7•References: 10

    Gurindji Kriol is the home language of children and adults under about 40 years of age in the traditionally Gurindji-speaking communities of northern Australia. Nearly all words in Gurindji Kriol are derived from Gurindji or from Kriol, both of which have been described as lacking a stop voicing contrast, at least in basilectal varieties in the case of Kriol. In this study, we describe variation in voice onset time in Gurindji Kriol, in both pict…

  • Comparing Vowels in Gurindji Kriol and Katherine English: Citation Speech Data

    Caroline Jones, Felicity Meakins et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Linguistics•2011•Cited by: 6•References: 8

    Gurindji Kriol is the home language of children and adults under about 40 years of age in traditionally Gurindji speaking communities of northern Australia. For phonetics and phonology, a significant aspect of the mixed language status of Gurindji Kriol is that, in running speech, approximately two-thirds of word tokens are Kriol-derived, and one-third are Gurindji-derived. In this study, we describe vowel pronunciation in the Kriol-derived words…

  • Learning Vowel Categories From Maternal Speech in Gurindji Kriol

    Open Access•Caroline Jones, Felicity Meakins et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2012•Cited by: 2•References: 38

    Distributional learning is a proposal for how infants might learn early speech sound categories from acoustic input before they know many words. When categories in the input differ greatly in relative frequency and overlap in acoustic space, research in bilingual development suggests that this affects the course of development. In the present study we describe the nature and extent of vowel variation in nearly 900 vowel tokens in maternal speech …

  • Hidden Law‐Making in the Province of Medical Jurisprudence

    Open Access•Jonathan Montgomery, Caroline Jones et al.•ARTICLE•Modern Law Review•2014•Cited by: 1•References: 36

    Judges articulate their role in controversial cases of medical ethics in terms of deference to P arliament, lest their personal morality be improperly brought to bear. This hides a wide range of law‐making activities, as parliamentary sovereignty is diffused by ‘intermediate law‐makers’, and judicial activity is more subtle than the deference account implies. The nature of litigation raises questions about the contributions of other legal personn…

    Open Access•Caroline Jones•ARTICLE•Sexualities•2005

    Under current legal regulations, when undertaking donor insemination at British clinics, women are able to ‘choose’ particular characteristics of donors. It is also permissible to reserve sperm from a particular donor for future use. These provisions have traditionally been associated with facilitating heterosexual couples to ‘pass’ as ‘the family’. In contrast, this article discusses the significance of these practices for some lesbian couples. …
