Net Zero’ Luxury
This article critically analyses the "Net Zero" narrative and its implications for luxury brands. Framing the narrative through Guy Debord's Theory of the Spectacle, it is argued that a Debordian reading of Net Zero unmasks its fetishistic character, underpinned by abstract values and technical jargon. Using the luxury brand, Burberry, as an illustrative case, the article examines the controversial 'science' underpinning the Net Zero agenda and t…
Alterations of Plasma Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Levels in Children with Refractory Epilepsies
Paediatric epilepsy is a multifaceted neurological disorder with various aetiologies. Up to 30% of patients are considered drug-resistant. The background impact of interfering inflammatory and neuronal pathways has been closely linked to paediatric epilepsy. The characteristics of the inflamed state have been described not only in epilepsies, which are considered prototypes of an inflammatory pathophysiology, but also in patients with drug-resist…
Idiopathic Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis
Early initiation of steroid treatment in children with idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis may improve outcomes
Evolving Cognitive Dysfunction in Children with Neurologically Stable Opsoclonus–Myoclonus Syndrome
Cognitive and acquired neurodevelopmental deficits have been reported in children with opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) and are known to be associated with more severe and relapsing disease course. However, there is a paucity of data regarding cognitive dysfunction in children with stable neurological disease. We report three children with OMS and evolving cognitive dysfunction in the context of a mild disease course. The children's ages at di…
Progress in the Management of Paediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis
Considerable progress has been made in the understanding and treatment of paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS); how this has translated into more effective care is less well understood. Here, we evaluate how recent advances have affected patient management and outcomes with a retrospective review of POMS patients managed at two paediatric neuroimmunology centres. Two cohorts, seen within a decade, were compared to investigate associations b…
Healthism in Denmark
This article focuses on contemporary responses to public health messages in Denmark, a country whose system of social welfare is, like that of the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, undergoing increasing levels of marketization and privatization. Drawing primarily upon Robert Crawford's analysis of healthism as a neoliberal project, the aim of this article is to develop critical understandings of how individuals respond both bodily and emotio…
The other voices of international higher education
Against a backdrop of globalised higher education (HE) – one in which a number of British universities are setting up campuses overseas – China represents a vast and lucrative market. This paper presents data on the perceptions and experiences of 20 Chinese students who are currently studying at a British university's campus located in China. Drawing upon theoretical and empirical linkages between the expansion of British HE into overseas markets…
The relationship between student-centred lectures, emotional intelligence, and study teams
A student-centred approach to teaching has been conceptualized as a key driver in higher education to facilitate understanding of concepts and improve attainment. The occurrence of student study team behaviours is diagnostic of this approach to teaching. However, the extent to which team behaviours are performed outside the parameters of formal teacher-learner environments remains under-researched. This is problematic as it is unclear whether stu…

"Consumer experiences in the "house of the future
Technological and cultural change has led to the increased incorporation of surveillance techniques in all types of consumer research. This paper raises a number of topical controversies regarding the research potential, ethical status and practical consequences of these approaches. We report on a research project involving radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging of a family living in a “house‐of‐the‐future”, in order to address these quest…
