Livelihoods frameworks, International Development Policies and Studies, and Migration Studies about and to try to improve the conditions confronting resource poor migrants and communities globally as well as comparative research. Research with children and adults as members of natal and extended kin networks and households in a time and resource-poor peri urban community in NE Brazil (2004-6) (doctoral candidate withdrew March 2007; registered at Sussex University, 2003-7) with different histories of settlement and rights to land in the area (childhoods, Development Studies, WID: innocence, silence, chagrin, labile). A Masters dissertation about the folklore of the UK and aspects of museological practises with regard to conservation and use/curation. Throughout and indirectly I have also been working on aspects of food security for particular populations in the post war period especially since 1992. Since 2017 I cook at the Eleven Restaurant all day carvery and ala Carte in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides Scotland.edit

Research undertaken in a series of differently settled areas or communities, some of which are very time and resource poor, in hinterland Salvador Bahia (2004-6) attempted to document a locally proffered social project to re-enforce homework of children/young people in the afternoon after school in the morning. The particular social project is discussed with reference to the community and attending children in the 2004-6 period of study. This is a DRAFT.

The early identification of outbreaks is crucial for the control of Clostridium difficile infection. This study aimed to determine if the number of hospital-acquired C. difficile infections could be reduced by rapidly typing C. difficile strains using multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) compared to typing using PCR ribotyping. A total of 16 hospitals were recruited to the study, and all periods of increased incidence (PIIs) of C. difficile infection were identified. The hospitals were randomized into two study arms, the test and the control, with all isolates typed in the test using MLVA and in the control using PCR ribotyping. Following a PII, each hospital received a structured questionnaire regarding control measures implemented or stopped prior to or following the typing results. During the study period, there were a total of 1,682 hospital-apportioned C. difficile toxin-positive cases, with 868 in the control and 814 in the test, with modeling demonstra...
