Embodied Multimodality in English Language Teaching
In this conceptual article, we explore the possibilities of multimodality, both digital and non-digital, in English language teaching (ELT) and its capacity to enrich learning and empower learners. We draw on embodied cognition, digital multimodal composing (DMC), and semiotics to propose a way of thinking about multimodality as an entanglement of sensory, cognitive, and sociocultural processes. From an embodied cognition perspective, language le…
Effectiveness of an Alternative Dental Workforce Model on the Oral Health of Low-Income Children in a School-Based Setting
Objectives. We evaluated the effect of an alternative dental workforce program—Kansas’s Extended Care Permit (ECP) program—as a function of changes in oral health. Methods. We examined data from the 2008 to 2012 electronic medical records of children (n = 295) in a Midwestern US suburb who participated in a school-based oral health program in which preventive oral health care was delivered by ECP dental hygienists. We examined changes in oral hea…
Overweight and obesity and weight change in middle aged men
Context: The benefit of weight reduction for cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes remains uncertain. Objective: To examine the effects of baseline body mass index on major CVD outcomes and diabetes over a 20 year follow up, and of weight change in the first five years over the subsequent 15 years. Design and setting: A prospective study of British men followed up for 20 years. Participants: Men aged 40–59 years with no diagnosis of CVD or diabet…
Childhood blood pressure, body build, and birthweight
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to examine whether blood pressure, body build, and birthweight differ between areas of England and Wales with widely differing adult cardiovascular mortality rates. DESIGN--This was a cross sectional survey of children in five towns with exceptionally high and five towns with exceptionally low current adult cardiovascular mortality. SETTING--The study was a school based survey. SUBJECTS--3842 children aged 5.0-7.5 yea…

Alcohol and Mortality in British Men
Non-participation and mortality in a prospective study of cardiovascular disease
Men who did not participate in a prospective study of cardiovascular disease (The British Regional Heart Study) were younger than the participants, more likely to be unmarried, and more likely to be less skilled workers. In the first three years of follow-up, their total mortality rate was significantly higher than that of the participants; thereafter it declined to levels not significantly different from those of the participants. This excess of…
Risk factors for ischaemic heart disease
Risk factors for major ischaemic heart disease (acute myocardial infarction or sudden death) have been investigated in a prospective study of 7735 men aged 40-59 years drawn from general practices in 24 British towns. After a mean follow-up of 4.2 years, there have been 202 cases of major ischaemic heart disease. Univariate estimates of the risk of ischaemic heart disease show that serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride concent…
Effects of tap water lead, water hardness, alcohol, and cigarettes on blood lead concentrations
A survey of middle-aged men in 24 British towns has found pronounced geographical variation in blood lead concentrations. Towns with the highest mean blood lead concentrations have soft water supplies and have the highest water lead concentrations. Individual blood lead can be considerably increased by raised household tap water lead concentrations. Mean blood lead is estimated to be 43% higher for men when the concentration of lead in first-draw…
Blood groups of Cakchiquel Indians from Sumpango, Guatemala
ABO, MN, Rh, P, Lutheran, Kell, Duffy and Kidd blood group systems were studied in a sample of 135 Cakchiquel‐speaking Indians from Sumpango, Dpto. Sacatepequez, Guatemala. Sumpango represents an almost exclusively endogamous isolate in the western highlands some 42 km outside of Guatemala City. The bloods were collected by families, and tests on them are much more revealing than on unrelated individuals because the genotypes are so often evident…
