An invited commentary on mentoring in infant mental health
This paper is based on a symposium on mentoring in infant mental health that took place at the 18th World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) conference. The symposium commemorated Robert N. Emde who was one of the founders of the field of Infant Mental Health, and devoted much of his career to mentorship. From an IMH perspective, mentoring experiences are best thought of as relationships, significant for both mentor and mentee, with pos…
Identifying the Health Concerns of Pregnant British Pakistani Women Living in Deprived Areas
Researchers, midwives, health providers, local authority and policy makers interested in improving the health of pregnant Pakistani women may use these findings to develop further research and interventions to improve the poor health of this population
Reflections from an insider researcher ‘doing’ feminist participatory action research to co-produce a research agenda with British Pakistani women; a seldom heard group
Participation of community stakeholders in health research priority setting is an emerging trend. Despite this, the involvement of marginalised groups in research prioritisation is limited and where they are involved, sample sizes are small, where individuals are merely consulted with, rather than coproducing the research agenda. Without addressing power dynamics inherent in research prioritisation with marginalised groups, their engagement in th…
Developing an obesity research agenda with British Pakistani women living in deprived areas with involvement from multisectoral stakeholders
INTRODUCTION: British Pakistani women have exceptionally high rates of obesity and yet are seldom heard in a research priority setting concerning weight management. The objectives of this study were (i) to ascertain what multisectoral professionals perceive to be the most pressing unmet obesity needs or topic areas that need more research in relation to Pakistani women living in deprived areas of Bradford and (ii) to determine the top 10 obesity …
Exploring the obesity concerns of British Pakistani women living in deprived inner‐city areas
INTRODUCTION: British South Asians have a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than the wider population. Bradford (UK), with its high Pakistani presence and levels of economic deprivation, has exceptionally high instances, especially in deprived areas where many Pakistanis reside. British Pakistani women in Bradford are more likely to be overweight and obese. There is uncertainty on how these women can be aided to manage their weight. The…
The 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act
Dr. Jane West was involved in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law, which has been called the emancipation proclamation for persons with disabilities, was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush over 30 years ago. Dr. West sat down for an interview in which she addressed the origins, importance, and future of this remarkable law
The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
The 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) offered an opportunity for reflection on ways that ADA has influenced—and might further shape—the provision of special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), now in its 47th year of implementation. After reviewing the purposes, provisions, and contexts of the two laws, the authors discuss the interplay between IDEA and ADA within several important a…
Models as signs of the imaginary
It is common for us to see models as exemplars of things that exist. Models, instead, are merely Peircean indexes, in that they only point to their objects, objects which may in themselves not exist. This is to say that these examples may only exist as thoughts that point to other thoughts or even ideas that point to objects that may not exist because they are paradoxical
Association between mode of delivery and body mass index at 4-5 years in White British and Pakistani children
Having CS, compared to a vaginal delivery, was not associated with greater adiposity in children of 4-5 years in this population. Concerns over CS increasing adiposity in children are not supported by the findings reported here using the BiB study population, of both WB and Pakistani families
Practical Esotericism and Tikkun Olam
In this paper I look at a specific Hebrew religious term, Tikkun Olam, to examine the manner in which it signifies differently in two specific cases. While we understand that meaning is carried in both denotation and connotation, and while a genealogy of meaning is often useful to understand the manner in which meaning has changed across time, this paper recounts the manner in which a single word may signify differently synchronically, at a singl…
The Selfish Meme
Biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term “meme” by which he meant a unit of culture. Dan Dennett continued by defining a meme as a bunch of bits of information. This paper explores the “meme” and how it is semiotic, both in its technical sense and in its popular sense and explores how memes signify both in terms of classical semiotics and also in terms of post-structuralist thought
Growing up in Bradford
Our multi-method approach to recruitment and assessment provides an efficient method of collecting rich data on all family members. Data collected will enhance BiB as a resource for the international research community to study the interplay between ethnicity, socioeconomic circumstances and biology in relation to cardiometabolic health, mental health, education, cognitive and sensorimotor development and wellbeing
Bridging the Gap Between Research and Policy
For decades, policy scholars have noted a disconnect between educational expertise, research, and policy-making, undermining the potential for coherent and effective policy development and implementation of reform initiatives. To help leverage the use of scholarship in the policy-making process, we argue that the scholarly community must refocus its efforts and adopt multiple strategies for ensuring engagement with policy-making, including strate…
The ontology of Yentl
Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy” (Singer, I. B. 1962. Yentl the yeshiva boy. Commentary Magazine . https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/yentl-the-yeshiva-boy-a-story/ (accessed 25 March 2017).) needs to be read in the light of traditional Jewish sources. The question is, how does it stand up to modern hypotheses of gender construction? Yentl was originally published in Yiddish and was translated to English in the…
Open innovation
Leveraging External Sources of Innovation
This paper reviews research on open innovation that considers how and why firms commercialize external sources of innovations. It examines both the “outside‐in” and “coupled” modes of open innovation. From an analysis of prior research on how firms leverage external sources of innovation, it suggests a four‐phase model in which a linear process—(1) obtaining, (2) integrating, and (3) commercializing external innovations—is combined with (4) inter…
UK-born Pakistani-origin infants are relatively more adipose than white British infants
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown markedly lower birth weight among infants of South Asian origin compared with those of White European origin. Whether such differences mask greater adiposity in South Asian infants and whether they persist across generations in contemporary UK populations is unclear. Our aim was to compare birth weight, skinfold thickness and cord leptin between Pakistani and White British infants and to investigate the exp…
Preparing Inclusive Educators
We heartily thank the editors of the Journal of Teacher Education (JTE) for publishing a special issue of the journal on a most significant educator preparation matter: the need to prepare teachers skilled in supporting and educating the diverse individuals enrolled in America's schools. The rapid rise in the ethnic and diversity of the PreK-12 school population, as well as in the number of students with disabilities who spend most of their time …
Birth size differences between white British and Pakistani origin infants by generation
Background There is a growing recognition that being born small is associated with risk of adult diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in addition to its known adverse effects on perinatal and infant outcomes. Previous studies have shown markedly lower birthweight among infants of South Asian origin compared to those of white British origin and there is a suggestion that such differences may mask greater central adiposity i…
P1-545 Birth size differences between white and Pakistani origin infants by generation
Background Previous studies have shown markedly lower birthweight among infants of South Asian origin compared to those of White European origin. Whether such differences mask greater (central) adiposity in South Asian infants and whether they persist across generations in contemporary UK populations is unclear. Objective To describe differences in term birth size between Pakistani origin and White British origin infants and investigate whether t…
Birth size differences between white and Pakistani-origin infants by generation
Background Previous studies have shown marked differences in birthweight between babies born in the UK of South Asian origin and those of UK origin. Whether such differences persist across generations in contemporary populations, the mechanisms underlying them and the extent to which other dimensions of birth size vary between these two groups is unclear. Objective To describe differences in term birthweight, head, arm and abdominal circumference…

Utopianism and National Competitiveness in Technology Rhetoric
The ideologies of technological utopianism and national competitiveness are two common strands of twentieth century technology policy in developed nations. The former is the tendency to paint an unrealistic picture of schedule or benefits for a planned technological shift, while the latter is the use of a (real or imagined) advantage held by another nation as a justification for domestic policies. Both are techniques that can and have been used t…

Pooled Case Comparison
Comparative studies offer a means for developing more robust theory, but they are plagued by problems of decontextualization of data and marginalization of the voices of the researched. This article introduces pooled case comparison, a means of cross-study comparison that has the potential to minimize some of the limitations often inherent in such comparisons. In pooled case comparison, raw data from separate studies are combined for a fresh anal…

Qualitative Research as Jazz
A metaphor of qualitative research as jazz is developed to illuminate qualities embedded in processes of qualitative inquiry. The jazz metaphor creates a pathway for making explicit the tacit understandings that enable us to make our way as researchers without fully orchestrated scores. As jazz is guided by a deep structure of chord progressions and themes, qualitative inquiry is guided by epistemological principles, socially constructed values, …
