Introduction The link between breastfeeding duration and subsequent development, cognition, educational, mental, psychomotor and behavioural functioning of the infant has been the subject of much scientific enquiry. Indeed, the effect of feeding on infant health and development was first discussed more than half a century ago when breastfed babies were reported to have better cognitive outcomes in childhood than artificially fed babies (Hoefer and Hardy 1929). Some studies have found striking results pertaining to the relative advantages that breastfeeding can confer on child neurodevelopment (Oddy, Kendall et al. 2003; Vohr, Poindexter et al. 2006; Kramer, Aboud et al. 2008). Breastfeeding has previously been associated with improvements across neurodevelopmental domains for low birthweight babies in comparison with not breastfeeding at all (Vohr, Poindexter et al. 2006). One study reported results from a large randomized controlled trial and found that breastfeeding for a longer duration and exclusive breastfeeding were associated with significant increases in

  • Cross-Linguistic Patterns in Infant Babbling
    Cross-linguistic Patterns in Infant Babbling Andreea Geambașu, Mariska Scheel, and Clara C. Levelt 1. Introduction Infants begin to vocalize very soon after birth, and they begin to babble about six months after they are born (Oller, 1980). The babbling stage is distinct from the previous phase of vocalizations in that sounds – or gestures in infants acquiring sign language – are now clearly organized in a syllabic structure. As such, these utterances are the infant’s first linguistic productions. In the works of Stark (1980) and Oller (1980), two stages were identified within the babbling phase. Babies start with reduplicated babbling when they are six to eight months old, and progress into “variegated” (Oller, 1980) or “non- reduplicated” (Stark, 1980) babbling at 10 to 12 months. Work by Koopmans- van Beinum and van der Stelt (1986) outlines a similar line of development, with reduplicated babbling beginning at six months and lasting up until at least 12 months. They do not identify a specific non-reduplicated stage during this period. In addition, Roug, Landberg, and Lundberg (1989) also identified babbling stages similar to those proposed by Oller and Stark, with reduplicated (consonant) babbling beginning at seven months, and variegated babbling beginning at 12 months. The stages identified by these researchers differ only slightly. Where they crucially converge is on the consensus that infants begin their babbling at around six to eight months old, that they begin with reduplicated utterances, and that they transition into producing variegated utterances at around 10 to 12 months. The existence of these two stages has been disseminated in introductory linguistics textbooks for years (e.g., Hoff, 2008).

  • White Privilege in the Criminal Justice System: Examining The
    ABSTRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE FITCH, CHANELL M. B.A. JOHN JAY COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, 2013 WHITE PRIVILEGE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: EXAMINING THE SHIFT IN MEDIA APPROACH TO THE WAR ON DRUGS Committee Chair: William Boone, Ph.D. Thesis dated July 2017 This study examines how the media has been used to perpetuate White privilege in the criminal justice system. The paper explores the shift in the media’s approach to drug epidemics depending on the demographic of drug users and how that shift in media influences the implementation of public policies. A policy analysis was used to examine the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 in order to understand the different approaches taken by politicians and how these approaches are reflective of biased media coverage. Based on this analysis, it is evident in the language and tone of each policy that White privilege remains a critical function of the criminal justice system.

Doug: My father was a photographer and a freelance cameraman for BBC Scotland and various other people, my mother was - initially looked after me and my brothers and sisters. I’m one of five, I’ve got one twin brother, one younger brother, two younger sisters, so mother was more or less a housewife for all of those but then she also went into business. She was also helping Dad withhis business and then they also set up a Hairdressing business latterly. But father had a very successful freelance photography journalist business until he unfortunately had a car accident in about 1972– 73. He broke his leg rather badly and he was a long time off work and it did leave him rather unable to be as active as he was beforehand. He became a producer with Fife Educational Television Service which back in those days, Fife was rather ahead of the game really: he would record with the BBC and [with] peoples permission he would record programmes off the television and then they had a system within Fife Schools for sending those programmes out so the schools could look at them anytime they wanted.
