Over the past ten years, geographers have contributed to growing body of interdisciplinary research developing new ways undertaking with children. Traditional methods which do not directly involve working children, such as large scale observation been criticised for carrying out on rather than Instead, drawing upon increasingly important children’s rights movement, researchers inclusive and participatory children centred methodologies, place voices social actors, at centre process.

To determine the level of aerosol formation and fallout within a toilet cubicle after flushing contaminated with indicator organisms at levels required to mimic pathogen shedding during infectious diarrhoea.A semisolid agar carrier containing either Serratia marcesens or MS2 bacteriophage was used contaminate sidewalls bowl water domestic effects soiling an episode acute diarrhoea. Viable counts were compare numbers adhering porcelain surfaces those present in before toilet. Air sampling...

Survival studies were conducted on Legionella pneumophila cells that had been grown intracellularly in Acanthamoeba polyphaga and then exposed to polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), benzisothiazolone (BIT), 5-chloro-N-methylisothiazolone (CMIT). Susceptibilities also determined for L. under iron-sufficient iron-depleted conditions. BIT was relatively ineffective against iron depletion; contrast, conditions increased the susceptibilities of PHMB CMIT. The activities all three biocides greatly...

“Filmic pedagogies” describes the increasing use of film, media and cultural products for teaching, learning assessment across a diverse range academic undergraduate programmes. Focusing upon UK based Education Studies degree programme, this article considers film reviews as way to explore issues around Youth. Based on focus group interviews with 24 final year undergraduates, students' experiences perceptions process engaging films in learning, teaching assessment. Offering insights into how...

Intra-protozoal growth of bacterial pathogens has been associated with increased environmental survival, virulence and resistance to biocides antibiotics. Using laboratory microcosms we have shown that Escherichia coli O157 survives replicates in a common protozoan, Acanthamoeba polyphaga. As protozoa are widely distributed soils effluents, they may constitute an important reservoir for transmission E. other pathogens.

The antimicrobial susceptibilities of Legionella pneumophila isolates grown either in U937 human monocytic cells or Acanthamoeba polyphaga were studied after release from the host without further subculture. Time-survival studies showed that exposure L. cells, gown exclusively vitro, to 5 micrograms rifampin per ml resulted at least 99% killing 6 h and no detectable survivors 24 h. Similar rates observed for vitro-grown tested by ciprofloxacin. Conversely, time-survival revealed...

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in methodologies used research with children. Geographers have contributed to growing body of that highlights children are not simply passive objects dependent on adults, but competent social actors make sense and actively contribute their environment. The trend conceptualize as profound implications for geographical children, most notably development more `inclusive' participatory agendas children-centred methodologies. In this...

Twenty-five years after independence, Papua New Guinea is beset by social, economic, and political problems: poverty inequality, a young expanding population, stagnant economy, corruption, rising crime. This book examines these problems of order in light Guinea's remarkable social diversity the impact rapid pervasive processes change.Three original strategic case studies involving urban gangs, mining security, election violence form core work. Each study looks at particular forms conflict,...

Frostbite injury causes damage by direct ice crystal formation at the cellular level with dehydration and microvascular occlusion. Acute treatment is well defined rapid tissue rewarming. Definitive surgical therapy usually delayed until a clear of demarcation seen. Technium (Tc)-99 bone scanning has become standard imaging study employed within first several days to assess perfusion viability. We present 2 patients severe frostbite in which magnetic resonance (MRI) angiography (MRA) were...

The surface properties of Legionella pneumophila were examined by analyzing outer membrane (OM) proteins, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and cellular fatty acids after growth within Acanthamoeba polyphaga in vitro under various nutrient-depleted conditions. Intra-amoeba-grown legionellae found to differ several respects from cells grown vitro; most notably, they contained a 15-kDa OM protein monounsaturated straight-chain acid (18:1(9)). These compounds also abundant quantities the host amoeba....

Cars have become increasingly significant features in the lives of many children and adults UK elsewhere. Whilst there is a growing body research considering how experience automobility, that central role cars within societies, has been little equivalent exploring children's perspectives.

Photography is an increasingly popular research method, used to explore a number of topics with wide range social groups, including children and young people. Drawing upon two UK projects, focused on firstly childcare secondly children's mobility, this paper critically considers photography as method Firstly, we consider the production photographs need look behind lens since influences final photographic product. Secondly, argue that interpretation should be undertaken ensure their intending...

Based on research carried out with over 400 children in England and Wales, this article explores the complexity of social space school club, an increasingly important environment landscape British childhood. By exploring ways which construct contest meanings they attach to material environments inhabit after during holidays, we aim show how notion `place' is bound up action behaviour who these significant spaces Moreover, by clubs as sites domination resistance, highlight some sociocultural...

Transport is currently at the forefront of political agenda. Successive government transport policies have increased spatial mobility majority UK population, largely through encouraging car ownership and use. However, children's geographers highlighted that children are one social group face increasing restrictions on their independent mobility. These caused in part by safety fears originating from traffic generated other people's Thus, with exception a few local initiatives such as 'Safer...

In this paper we provide a reflexive account of fieldwork in out school clubs range localities across England and Wales. By reflecting upon our personal experiences researching with children aged between 5 12 years, examine the impact positionality researcher on research encounter, highlight ways which relationships adult researchers child subjects are gendered.
