Maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy and sex‐dependent dysregulation of the materno‐fetal stress axis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are linked to adverse perinatal outcomes, potentially via disruption of the maternal–fetal stress axis. Placental HSD11B2 protects the fetus from excess glucocorticoids and may influence fetal programming during maternal metabolic stress.

Rotational Anisotropy Raman Spectrometer for High‐Sensitivity Crystallographic Symmetry Analysis

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
We introduce rotational‐anisotropy Raman spectroscopy, an enhanced scheme that overcomes the limitations of traditional polarization‐resolved Raman techniques. This method reveals previously inaccessible phonon symmetries and resolves directional anisotropy of phonon‐polaritons in benchmark crystals, establishing a powerful new tool for characterizing ...

Field Emergence From Diverse Origins: History, Heterogeneity and the Evolution of UK Business Schools

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This article revisits the view that UK business schools emerged as late and imitative responses to American models. Drawing on archival evidence and a longitudinal dataset of 130 institutions, it shows that the field developed incrementally from diverse origins, including mechanics’ institutes, civic universities, colleges of commerce and ...

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.
Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

Spin and Parity Measurements of the Higgs-Like Boson in the H →  ZZ → 4l Channel at CMS

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The most recent CMS results are presented for an analysis of the spin and parity of the Higgs-like boson near 126 GeV in the ZZ decay channel where the Z bosons decay into two muons or electrons.

Learning to Stand on its own Two Feet: The Office for Students and the Crisis in Higher Education in England

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 206-210, January/March 2025.
Abstract In order to address an ever‐growing crisis in higher education in England, policy makers need tools capable of meeting the challenge. Yet the Office for Students has been roundly criticised for its shortcomings as a regulator for the sector, weakening the response to its plethora of problems.
