In Fighting Deindustrialisation, Andy Clark outlines and examines one of the most significant and under-researched periods in modern Scottish labour history. Over a fourteen month period in 1981 and 1982, as Scotland suffered the effects of the accelerated deindustrialisation of its economy, three workforces refused to accept the loss of their jobs. The predominantly women assembly workers at Lee Jeans (Greenock), Lovable Bra (Cumbernauld), and Plessey Capacitors (Bathgate) were informed that their multinational employers had taken the decisions to close their plants. At each site, a battle was fought against capital movement, corporate greed, and unfair jobloss. The workers occupied their factories and refused to vacate until their demands were met and closure avoided. At all sites this objective was achieved; none of the factories completely closed following the women''s occupations. In this book, these occupations are analysed together for the first time, through a range of analytical frameworks from oral history, memory studies, industrial relations scholarship, and deindustrialisation studies. In his extensive examination, Clark argues that the actions of 1981-82 should be considered as one of the most significant periods in Scotland''s history of deindustrialisation. However, the public memory of 1981-82 is precarious; Fighting Deindustrialisation begins the process of incorporating women''s militant resistance within academic and popular understandings of working-class activism in later 20th century-Scotland.

Bone formation by osteoblasts (OBs) and bone resorption by osteoclasts (OCLs) is a tightly coupled and balanced process. In chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), this balance is disturbed and OCL activity exceeds that of OBs, leading to net bone loss or osteoporosis. Glucocorticoids (GC) are frequently used in treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, the long term use of GCs can lead to the development of GC-induced osteoporosis (GIO). The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway is critical for the expression of many pro-inflammatory genes such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF). It is also involved in the differentiation and activation of OCLs. Termination of p38 MAPK signalling is partly dependent on dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1). DUSP1 expression is up-regulated by pro-inflammatory stimuli, providing a negative feedback loop to limit the inflammatory response. It is also up-regulated by GCs, and contributes to their anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the role of DUSP1 in two forms of bone loss. To test the hypothesis that induction of DUSP1 contribute to GIO, the bone phenotype of a Dusp1-/- mouse strain was first characterised, then the responses of bone to chronic GC administration were investigated. The involvement of DUSP1 in inflammatory bone loss was next examined using in vitro assays of OCL function, and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an experimental model of RA. Dusp1-/- OCLs displayed enhanced responses to pro-inflammatory stimuli in vitro. Furthermore, Dusp1-/- mice showed more rapid development and more severe arthritis and responses to GC were decreased compared to controls. The exacerbated disease in Dusp1-/- mice was accompanied by increased inflammatory infiltration, activation of OCLs and articular bone ersoion. There was also evidence of increased expression of interleukin 17 (IL-17), a cytokine that has been implicated in inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. These observations highlight a role of DUSP1 as an important negative regulator of inflammatory osteolysis and as a mediator of therapeutic effects of GCs in CIA.

We show that a popular class of connectionist models (which we label ''first order connectionism'') looks unlikely to provide the kind of resources required by the hypothesis. We examine some alternative hybrid models that seem more promising. Finally, we raise a more purely philosophical issue concerning the conditions under which a being can count as a genuine believer or cognizer."

"Imperial Knight Titans clash as an internecine war ravages the Knights of Adrastapol. The Knight Houses of Adrastapol are both noble and righteous, and when the Imperial world of Donatos falls to the heresy of the Word Bearers, they are foremost in the vanguard to retake it. Led by High King Tolwyn Draconis, the Knights are peerless in battle and strike deep into the enemy''s ranks. But the war soon turns when a terrible tragedy strikes, casting the Imperial campaign into anarchy. As desperation grows, unblooded Knights Errant Danial and Luk must quickly learn the ways of war to prevent an unholy ritual, or Donatos will be lost and all the noble Houses of Adrastapol with it" -- Amazon.com.

This paper will describe and analyse an Anglo-French student exercise in electronic negotiation for the sale of fragrances on the internet, with the Warwick based team representing a high value internet shopping mall and the EDHEC, France based team representing a prestigious fragrance firm. The paper will analyse the development and implementation of the project and the responses of staff and students to it as well as future plans. It will argue that such projects transcend traditional educational categorisations such as clinical, problem and resource based learning.
