<h3>Objective:</h3> Our previous coeliac disease genome-wide association study (GWAS) implicated risk variants in the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) region and eight novel regions. To identify more loci, we selected 458 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that showed modest GWAS for genotyping analysis four independent cohorts. <h3>Design:</h3> SNPs were assayed 1682 cases 3258 controls from three populations (UK, Irish Dutch). We combined results with original cohort (767 UK 1422...
Twenty-four international scholars contribute articles on linguistic and cultural diversity in deaf communities worldwide, including Japan, Viet Nam, Nigeria, Ireland, Brazil, the United States. The wide- ranging topics include evolution of British fingerspelling beginning 17th centur
This paper asks what ‘understanding’ looks like in the presence of an interpreter. Much investigation understanding Interpreting Studies explores claims which treat it as axiomatic, rather than exploring occurrence comprehension itself (how participants come to accept that is occurring, form takes, its consequences are). Here we re-purpose a well-established research tool — Map Task illustrate robustly empirical approach this issue, using complex multimodal and multilingual data. The Task,...
Abstract Aims and objectives To explore the preferences of deaf people for communication in a hospital consultation. Methods Design – cross‐sectional survey, using structured, postal questionnaire. Setting survey readers two journals hard hearing people. Participants 999 self‐selected individuals with loss UK, including those who use sign language speech. Main outcome measures preferred mode communication. Results A total 11% participants to within everyday life, 70% used speech 17% mixture...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of genetic polymorphisms interleukin-18 (IL-18) pathway to Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Most cases EAC arise in a background reflux-induced BE. Genetic influences this are poorly understood. IL-18 is multifunctional cytokine implicated anti-tumor immunity. A number theIL-18and receptor-accessory protein (IL-18RAP) genes have been reported alter gene expression recently linked inflammatory processes various tumors,...
Automatic speech recognition and spoken dialogue systems have made great advances through the use of deep machine learning methods. This is partly due to greater computing power but also large amount data available in common languages, such as English. Conversely, research minority including sign hampered by severe lack data. has led work on transfer methods, whereby a model developed for one language reused starting point second language, which less resourced. In this paper, we examine two...
This paper reports on findings from an international survey of sign language interpreters who have experience working remotely via video link, either in a relay service or as remote interpreter. The objective the study was to identify common issues that confront when these environments and ascertain what aspects interpreting link are successfully. reach this demonstrates how can be integral part bringing about social equality for deaf users; yet according work services, ineffective policies,...
The notion of culture underpins many studies language, society, and the interrelationship two. question What is Deaf culture? a familiar one within field. This paper considers an influential framework, proposed by Carol Padden, observations about people; it subjects these to certain amount critical scrutiny; and, with reference some engaging potentially potent socio-anthropological ideas, begins sketch out number implications for revision such framework. bonds between people similarities in...
Genetic counseling is part of the social response to science genetics. It intended help twenty-first-century societies manage consequences our ability observe and intervene in genetic makeup. This article explores views, knowledge, beliefs some Deaf hard hearing people about genetics counseling. adults are often interested knowing why they deaf whether deafness can be passed on their children. They may also other traits family (e.g., inherited cancer). These issues routinely addressed within...
This article centers on the implications of genetic developments (as a scientific and technological discipline) for those Deaf people who identify as cultural linguistic minority group are concerned with preservation development sign language culture. We explore impact one particular legislative initiative that is liable to directly affect reproductive liberty in UK. In particular, we document challenge was instigated by international community toward this clause. Before outlining item...
For many deaf signers, a signed language is their first or preferred language; spoken written languages are often second and literacy levels among signers vary. Historically, surveys carried out with have been in form, which means that findings of such studies may be problematic terms whether participants representative sample (as only those higher respond) the integrity responses (if respondents did not fully understand questions). This paper therefore discusses issues faced conducting...
It has long been recognised that deaf people experience barriers to political participation and notions of citizenship do not take into account the needs sign language users. In light an effort at European level increase potential for users participate in processes through technology, this paper provides results from a survey study across Europe as their preferences using Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), whether they would like see establishment pan-European multilingual TRS if make...
