The genetic epidemiology of joint shape and the development of osteoarthritis

Congruent, low-friction relative movement between the articulating elements of a synovial joint is an essential pre-requisite for sustained, efficient, function. Where disorders of joint formation or maintenance exist, mechanical overloading and osteoarthritis (OA) follow. The heritable component of OA accounts for ~ 50% of susceptible risk. Although almost 100 genetic risk loci for OA have now been identified, and the epidemiological relationship between joint development, joint shape and osteoarthritis is well established, we still have only a limited understanding of the contribution that genetic variation makes to joint shape and how this modulates OA risk. In this article, a brief overview of synovial joint development and its genetic regulation is followed by a review of current knowledge on the genetic epidemiology of established joint shape disorders and common shape variation. A summary of current genetic epidemiology of OA is also given, together with current evidence on the genetic overlap between shape variation and OA. Finally, the established genetic risk loci for both joint shape and osteoarthritis are discussed

Research data supporting ‘Illicit Antiquities’? The Collection of Nazi militaria in the Channel Islands.

While 5 images are used in this article, the author does not hold the copyright to 4 of them and they cannot be shared openly. Therefore, only one of the five images is shared. Additional photos were taken during this batch of fieldwork as an aide memoire and for use in lectures only - they do not directly support this publication and therefore are not shared via the repository. Additional data supporting this publication contain interviews; however, these cannot be shared for reasons of sensitivity and anonymity. Quotes relevant to the argument made in this paper have been used in the paper itself.This work was supported by the British Academy [grant number SG-45141]

Research data supporting: "Have you been offended?" Holocaust Memory in the Channel Islands at HMD 70

The data comprises 3 images that are associated with my paper. While I took a number of other photos at the time of the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony in Guernsey and Jersey, both this year (2015) and in past years, the 3 used in the article are a good illustrative representative of the points the paper makes.All photos directly supporting or illustrating the points made in the publication are attached to this record. Additional photos were taken during this batch of fieldwork as an aide memoire and for use in lectures only - they do not directly support this publication and therefore are not shared via the repository. Additional data supporting this publication contain interviews; however, these cannot be shared for reasons of political sensitivity and anonymity

Concrete’s memory

This paper explores the constraints upon archaeologists who working in the field of heritage studies who encounter tales of haunting, or have their own experiences with ghosts, during fieldwork. The discipline lacks the terminology to describe, analyse or understand such experiences, leading to either omissions, embarrassed anecdotes at the end of ‘serious’ discussions of fieldwork, or talking in metaphors. Using the case study of the Channel Islands, this paper explores ways in which archaeologists can talk and write about ghosts through recent understandings of the concept of ‘heritage’, through a rejection of UNESCO’s definitions of Intangible Cultural Heritage, and the adoption of the concept of ‘tangible intangibility’

La mémoire du béton

Les habitants des îles Anglo-Normandes sont confrontés quotidiennement aux fantômes de l’occupation allemande de la seconde guerre mondiale. Soldats et travailleurs forcés apparaissent dans les bunkers qui parsèment les côtes de ces îles, offrant ainsi aux descendants des témoins de la guerre le moyen de cultiver la mémoire d’une période historique critique qu’ils n’ont eux-mêmes pas vécue. Insistant sur l’impossibilité de séparer ici le patrimoine immatériel et matériel, la mémoire et le béton, cet article examine les conditions d’intégration d’un type particulier de vestige – les fantômes – à l’analyse archéologique
