Bennett, Philip Christopher. "Peripheral arterial disease amongst minority ethnic groups in the United Kingdom." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2013. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/4726/.

Full text

Abstract:

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a common manifestation of atherosclerosis, is an important healthcare problem with considerable morbidity and mortality. Intermittent claudication (IC) is the commonest symptomatic manifestation of this disease. This thesis investigates the prevalence of PAD in South Asians (people originating from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and Blacks (Black African, Black Caribbean) and makes ethnic comparisons of its associations with traditional cardiovascular risk factors, inflammatory and haemostatic biomarkers and markers of angiogenesis in these ethnic groups. This thesis also makes associations between common carotid intima media thickness, a marker of pre-clinical atherosclerosis, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and novel biomarkers. Furthermore this thesis validates translated versions of the Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire into Punjabi and Urdu.

Loera, Gonzalez Juan Jaime. "Conflicting paths to wellbeing : Raramuri and Mestizo inter-ethnic relations in northern Mexico." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2013. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/45213/.

Full text

Abstract:

Indigenous people in Mexico have historically been subjected to subordinate positions in relation to dominant non-indigenous groups. Indigenous people continue to face political exclusion, social discrimination and economic disadvantages compared to the non-indigenous population. Most studies use a universalising approach to conceptualise wellbeing in order to account for these differences among groups, neglecting to consider local indigenous understandings of wellbeing, and how such understandings may be obscured by inter-ethnic power relations at the local level. This research contributes to the larger debate of how asymmetries among social groups are formed, how they are contested through the articulation of discourses, and the implications of mobilising discourses as a political tool at the local level. The dissertation focuses on the case of the Raramuri indigenous people of Northern Mexico, and uses detailed ethnographic evidence to explore how discourses of wellbeing are constructed by the Raramuri people in their daily interactions with the non-indigenous population and how power asymmetries between these groups form and persist. It does so by pursuing three main objectives. The first is to document local understandings of wellbeing which emerge for the Raramuri people in contexts of ethno-political oppression. The second is to uncover underlying power relations that hinder wellbeing and reproduce ethnically differentiated vulnerabilities. Examples of this are land conflicts and institutional arrangements behind land management schemes. The third objective is to analyse resulting mechanisms of resistance employed by the Raramuri indigenous people in order to seek control of practices and customs that promotes ethnic distinction. These three pillars provide a novel framework to explore the formation and perpetuation of asymmetrical social, economic and political relations at the local level. The study finds that the Raramuri people, like other minority groups living in the margins of nation states and global markets, are constrained to act strategically to face political, economic and social exclusion, while at the same time, taking the opportunity of this position to articulate culturally embedded discourses and mechanisms to reinforce their identity and self-definition. It is in the marginal context that the Raramuri discourse of living well develops and makes sense; fluctuating between the tension of having the right to live differently and the need to be part of the larger society. As a result, this discourse, by stressing ethnic membership and differentiation from other groups, appeals to culturally deep-seated homogenising and idealised elements of ethnicity. Consequently, Raramuri people articulate a recurrent strategy of resistance that allows them to consolidate their cultural identity and the internal cohesion of the group. However, this strategy limits political influence and their capacity to challenge the asymmetric power relations they face from dominant, non-indigenous spheres.

Holder, Sharon M. "Health inequalities amongst older people from ethnic minority groups in Britain : 'sensitivity' of different SES measures." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2011. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/208223/.

Full text

Abstract:

The United Kingdom (UK) ethnic population is ageing. However, there has been a dearth of research focussing on the ethnic diversity of the older population and the implications for health and health care needs. In fact ‘ageing’ and ‘ethnicity’ are rarely integrated within health research. According to the United Kingdom (UK) 2001 Census, there are over 4.6 million individuals belonging to minority ethnic groups, with a quarter million aged 50 years or over. The ageing of these communities over the next two decades places greater emphasis on the importance of empirical evidence on their health status and the policy implications for health and health care needs. This thesis contributes to our understanding of health, socio-economic status (SES), ethnicity and ageing. The research explores the ‘sensitivity’ of different measures and their appropriateness and validity in assessing health inequalities amongst ethnic minority groups in order to better understand health inequalities in later life. This is a critical issue with widespread policy implications. Using cross-sectional data from Health Survey for England (HSE), with a sample size of 5,086 men and women 50 years and older, different logistic regression models are run for the outcome variables general health and limiting long-standing illness in order to ascertain the ‘sensitivity’ of SES of the different measures of health amongst the different ethnic minority groups. The results suggest that older people from ethnic minority groups are more likely to report bad/very bad’ health compared with the White population. For example, amongst Black Africans the odds of reporting ‘bad/very bad’ health are 1.45 times the odds amongst Whites, amongst Pakistanis the equivalent odds are 1.69 times the odds amongst Whites, amongst Bangladeshi the odds are 2.34 times the odds of Whites, and amongst Chinese people the odds are 2.53 times the odds of Whites. There are distinct patterns in reporting ‘bad/very bad’ health and a LLSI amongst and between ethnic minority men and women aged 50 and over based on SES measures employed in the study. Additionally, behavioural risk factors, that is, smoking and alcohol consumption were significant predictors of reporting ‘bad/very bad’ health and LLSI. Health inequalities have important implications for policy, particularly for health and health care. The research findings would be useful in informing national policies (e.g. health promotion campaigns, housing, occupationally based services, culturally competent health care services) and locally based interventions (e.g. health campaigns for older men and women; health education) would be better targeted at ethnic minority groups of older men and women

Abstract:

My interest in comics began at about ten years of age. Reading difficulties and a dismissal as stupid by one of my primary school teachers left me believing that reading was beyond my capabilities. One morning when walking reluctantly to school I saw a comic lying in the gutter. Attracted by the bright colours I picked it up, I could not read the title 'Dandy' but the picture stories meant for the first time I could follow a narrative. Quickly I realised that the pictorial content gave me clues to the dialogue presented in the 'bubbles'. Reading for me was a possibility and I soon became addicted to a diet of comics. Unfortunately the racist nature of British society was reflected in those comic strips. Brought up in an environment where there were no visible black faces most of my racial education was from the society around me and the comics I read. I did not realise how deeply ingrained the racial conceptions were until I attempted to draw my own comic strip to amuse two small children for whom I had frequent care. Without thinking I automatically reproduced the same kind of stereotypes to be found in the comics I had read. Soon racial inequalities were to become a central concern in my life. I became conscious of the pervasiveness of racism in society and this consciousness increased as I embarked on a mixed race marriage generally disapproved of in the white dominated society of the early 1950s. My experience as a mother of mixed race children led me to join various anti-racist groups and thus become interested in all aspects of racial injustice. A combination of factors encouraged the undertaking of this research amongst them being, a teacher first, of young children and later of adolescents. A further influence came from the literature I read which encouraged me to write articles on the subject for such magazines as Roots and Youth in society. As a consequence of my past experiences and these articles this research project took shape and I make no apology for the fact that feelings and experiences have entered into the research process. The pre-occupying concern of this research is to investigate the degree of equality in presentations of white, black, Asian and Oriental groups in comics and magazines for children. The central aim is to locate any unjustifiable differences in the presentations. Each of the Chapters in this study attempts to deal with a specific area, related to racism and collectively they attempt to supply evidence to support an argument that presentation of black group characters is mostly concerned with negative portrayals. The opening chapter commences with a declaration of aims and objectives and proceeds with a discussion of the nature of racism followed by theoretical approaches and the general methodology available for analysing comic texts. A standard content analysis is adopted in order to extract the necessary figures involved in the distribution of imagery across the ethnic groups presented in the comic literature. Without this preliminary exercise another important objective of the study would be impossible, that is, to interpret the figures in a more refined, qualitative manner in the hope that some of the subtle details of stereotyping will emerge. Chapter Two reviews the historical development of comics and magazines and the influence of this development on racial imagery. Chapter Three concentrates on the construction of appropriate headings under which to place ethnic groups appearing in the comics in order that they might be analysed by the use of checklists which draw on the common usage of stereotypes, present established checklists, and other literature for children. Chapters Four, Five, Six and Seven focus on the analysis of a number of specific aspects commencing with areas where black Asian and Oriental characters are included and excluded. Chapter Five takes issue with the presentation of principal characters, while chapter Six investigates the reality or otherwise of a number of racial myths. Chapter Seven concerns itself with the distribution and nature of verbal and non-verbal contacts between ethnic groups and Chapter Eight consists of a number of case studies using the original visual comic material in an attempt to illustrate the nature of the racism within the comic sample. The final chapter is a review of the findings from the comics and magazines brought together and conclusions drawn from the data to see if there are a significant number of unfair differences in the presentations of white, black, Asian and Oriental groups. After a brief summary of the major findings the final chapter discusses some of the conclusions and tries to interpret these conclusions within a wide theoretical framework.

Abstract:

This study explores the contexts and learning experiences of a group of minority ethnic group learners as higher education students in the University of Dundee. The research serves a scoping purpose, aiming to examine the influences, values, attitudes, behaviours and policies that affect the learning experiences of these bilingual minority ethnic group students in the monocultural and monolingual Scottish educational system. An initial exploration of these factors lays the foundation for the further aim of appraising the ways in which ethnicity, cultural values and bilingualism contribute to the learning profile of such students. Quantitative data were obtained from public domain statistical records, and qualitative data from a pilot postal questionnaire, focus group meetings and single or paired interviews. Research literature underpinning and informing the study draws from various fields including anthropology, bilingual education, demography, cognitive psychology, education, language acquisition, linguistics and sociology. The voices of the students combine to provide a powerful commentary of their experiences and this gives rise to the emergence of several themes in this research. A key theme, the importance of identity, is one that is woven through this work. Changing emphases can be observed in the developing Ethnic, Academic and Global modes of Self as these mutate in response to tensions that arise for the students as they straddle the dichotomy of heritage and educational cultures. The difference that distinguishes resident bilinguals from dominant ethnic group students can be seen in their differing language profiles. Problematic aspects of learning at university can apply to all learners, but such difficulties seem to be accentuated in the case of resident bilinguals. The acquisition of academic literacies is one such problematic area and, while both resident bilingual and dominant ethnic group students can be challenged in these areas, this can be in subtly different ways.

Abstract:

This dissertation develops and empirically tests a theory of political participation that posits that the local economic context moderates the effects of individualsÂ socioeconomic status by influencing their prospective financial outlooks. These perceptions, in turn, affect individualsÂ likelihood of engaging in various political activities. I examine the theory using indicators of economic vitality and status both for the entire population and for racial and ethnic group-specific economic conditions. This two-pronged approach allows me to assess the extent to which group-specific conditions are more salient for minority group members than are more traditional contextual (full population) measures that reflect the economic status of the entire population. Thus, such questions as whether blacksÂ financial outlooks are influenced more by the visibility of black-owned businesses or by the total visibility of business activity are addressed. Hypotheses are tested using the 1992 National Election Study, the 1995 Texas Minority Survey, and economic data collected from the U.S. Census Bureau, 1992 Economic Census. Results indicate that the financial perceptions of blacks and Latinos are significantly related to levels of political activity while the financial outlooks of Asians and whites are not significantly related to their political activity.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to make visible the presence and voices of minority ethnic households in rural communities by addressing the ‘place blindness’ in research on ethnicity / ‘race’, and the ethnicity / ‘race’ blindness in rural literature. The overall aim of this thesis is to develop an understanding of the lived experiences and perspectives of minority ethnic households and individuals in parts of rural Scotland, and the Highlands and Islands in particular. The emphasis is on exploring the contingent, flexible and changing interaction between ethnicity / ‘race’ and rurality. This is achieved by drawing on four separately commissioned studies which were undertaken between 1998 and 2004, and were re-analysed for the purposes of this thesis. Within the context of these studies, the thesis examines the ways in which the social and spatial demography of rural minority ethnic households, and particular conceptualisations of rural have been mobilised to shape ideas and practices about belonging in parts of rural Scotland. In particular, the studies explore the ways in which minority ethnic households, parents/carers and young people across the four studies have felt they have been ‘invisible’ in relation to policy and service delivery issues, and developed strategies to overcome their marginalisation. The thesis concludes that the relationships, experiences and practices based on ethnicity / ‘race’ have to be understood as being grounded in specific spatial, national, local, historical and material contexts which are dynamic. It stresses the need to move away from binary accounts portraying minority ethnic groups as always ‘passive victims’, and the ‘host’ communities as invariably ‘perpetrators’ of racism, by recognising the importance of taking into account the cross-cutting nature of individual identities and experiences, deconstructing ‘white’ and recognising the countervailing forces of constraints and agency within this context.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis began as an examination of the influence of Darwinism on images of racial types in the Australian illustrated popular press. Taking a broad scope, encompassing depictions of the Irish, Chinese, Aborigine and South Sea Islander, I soon discovered that a single focus on social Darwinist influence was perhaps more restrictive than revealing. Consequently, although I maintain Darwinian evolutionary theory is at the hub of influences on the iconography of racial types, I have allowed my analysis to range outside the Darwinian influence to encircle a more complex ideological construction of these racial images. Nevertheless, I have kept the core of the study as a demonstration of the significant impact of Darwinian evolutionary theory on the iconography of racial groups. I argue that the influence of the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species on racial representations was mainly on the modification of existing iconographic stereotypes, but I also claim that the evolutionary impact did produce new images or types. The principal focus is the Australian popular illustrated and comic press. However, to investigate the derivation of particular iconographic types, selected English and American sources are also examined.

Abstract:

The current study assessed racial identification, preference, and awareness using two methods: forced choice, and multiple choice. The participants consisted of 138, 4- and 12-year-old Black, White, and Biracial children. The Preschool Racial Attitude Measure II was used to assess the racial attitudes of children, and Racial Identification and Racial Preference questions were also used. The results show that Black and White children were all able to accurately self-identify. When using the forced choice format the majority of the Biracial children identified as Black, whereas when using the multiple choice format the majority of the Biracial children self identified as both Black and White. When using the multiple choice format to assess Racial Attitude the results revealed that across all racial groups there were more White preference choices by 4 year olds than by 12 year olds. For Racial Attitude, the results also revealed that Whites showed a higher mean White preference score than did Blacks, and Biracial children were intermediate between the other two groups. The results revealed that format did not significantly affect the Racial Preference response among the 4-year-old children, although the percentage of pro-White responses declined significantly when using the multiple choice format with the 12 year olds. For Racial Preference the results also indicate that regardless of format White children had significantly higher pro-White means than the Black children, and for the forced choice format only, Biracial children had a mean pro-White response intermediate between the other two groups. With the multiple choice format, the 4 year olds showed a higher pro-White mean than the 12 year olds. These results show that Biracial children tend to respond in a more race neutral manner when provided more choices than just Black and White. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full text

Abstract:

Racism, as a covert but pervasive presence in teacher training in England, remains a major structural issue and its effects on student teachers, from Black and Minority Ethnic groups, are real and troubling. This Study asserts that they face multiple challenges in the Initial Teacher Education process which has implications for the teaching workforce and for pupils in schools. While national statistics for recruitment of BME applicants onto Initial Teacher Education courses are at good levels, in proportion to the BME population in general, their numbers are not viable because the drop-out rate between starting and completing courses, and becoming employed as classroom teachers, is significant. Furthermore the numbers of BME qualified teachers are small in relation to both the BME and white populations in England. This Study, which focuses on 32 BME student teachers at four universities across England, looks at how they journey through and negotiate obstacles and microagressions on their ITE courses. It shows that for those who choose to continue on their teaching course, their responses and modes of coping are complex and varied. Using Critical Race Theory to analyse their stories and make visible the way that hidden racisms within ITE can silence and disempower BME student teachers, the key findings reveal that they may adopt four 'cultural positions': Manoeuvred Cultural Position, Vibrant Cultural Position, Discerning Cultural Position, Stagnated Cultural Position. These demonstrate whether they are managing, struggling, culturally visible or culturally invisible. This study has implications for teacher educators and senior managers in universities involved in Initial Teacher Education in England.

Thesis advisor: Sr. Callista Roy
Social Cognition and the Impact of Race and Ethnicity on Clinical Decision Making Most literature reflects the persistent existence of unequal treatment in the care provided to ethnic and racial minorities. Comparatively little about ethnic bias in the literature goes beyond the retrospective study as the most frequently encountered method of inquiry. Access to providers and the ability to pay only provide partial explanation in the known data. A more controversial hypothesis is the one offered in this dissertation. This qualitative research explored the cognitive processes of ethnic bias as a phenomenon in clinical decision making. The method was a simulation that captured events as they occurred with a sample of nurse participants. The racial and ethnically related cognitive content of participants was evoked through the interactive process of playing a board game. Immediately following that activity, a video vignette of an ambiguous pain management situation involving an African American male was viewed by each nurse who was then asked to make a "treat" or "not treat" clinical decision. The dialogues during playing of the board game in addition to the rationale for the treatment decision provided data for analysis. Content analysis is the primary approach for using the data to answer the research question. Themes of latent and manifest content were described for those who made the decision to treat and those who decided not to treat

This doctor s thesis has as its objective to know the socialization processes experienced by three youth groups, belongin to popular segments and formed by residents of the periphery of São Paulo: Coquetel Molotov, located in Itaquera, East Zone; Núcleo Cultural Força Ativa, in Cidade Tiradentes, East Zone; and Núcleo Cultural Poder e Revolução, in Jardim São Savério, Southeast Zone. The objective of the investigation is to analyze the main challenges, conflicts, struggles, initiatives and advances faced by these young people; what they learn and live in their families, schools, workplace, homes, and in their participation in youth groups; their interpersonal and group relationships in private and public spaces and the consequences of their personal and collective lives. Methodologically, the research is developed with the utilization of questionnaires that configure the profile of participating youth and describe the path of each one of the three groups, and of focal groups and semi-structured interviews, which try to understand perceptions, concepts and experiences of class, gender and race/ethnic relations throughout their childhood, adolescence and youth. We investigated what it means to be young in the periphery, the conformation of the relationships among the youth and between the youth and the adults, the division of tasks and living space, the building and the living of subjectivities and gender and ethnic-racial relationships. The conceptual references that base the analyses are from contemporary authors belonging to different areas of the social sciences, such as Education, Psychology, Social Services, for the theme of the youth, which currently has appeared with more strength, requires multidisciplinary attention to be better understood. The results confirm the hypothesis that belonging to youth groups, with the sponsorships and the cultural, social and political propitiates a new meaning and the existence of new gender and ethnic-racial relationships, signaled by respect, equity, dialogue and altering, different from what was learned in their childhood and is still lived in the family, in the school and in the school, and in some instances of the society. They also point that the relationships with new meanings represent possibilities for these youth to transform themselves in socializing and multiplying agents, contributing to their own integration as citizens, as well the integration of other youth
A presente tese de doutorado tem por objeto conhecer os processos de socialização experimentados por três grupos juvenis, pertencentes a segmentos populares e formado por moradores da periferia de São Paulo: Coquetel Molotov, localizado em Itaquera, Zona Leste; Núcleo Cultural Força Ativa, em Cidade Tiradentes, Zona Leste; e Núcleo Cultural Poder e Revolução, no Jardim São Savério, Zona Sudeste. O objetivo da investigação é o de analisar os principais desafios, conflitos, lutas, iniciativas e avanços enfrentados por esses jovens; seus aprendizados e vivências na família, na escola, no trabalho, nos locais de moradia e na participação em grupos juvenis; suas relações interpessoais e grupais em espaços privados e públicos e as decorrências em suas trajetórias de vida pessoal e coletiva. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa se desenvolve com a utilização de questionários, que configuram o perfil de jovens participantes e descrevem o trajeto de cada um dos três grupos, e de grupos focais e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, que procuram apreender percepções, conceitos e experiências de relações de classe, gênero e raça-etnia, no decorrer de suas infâncias, adolescências e juventudes. Investigam-se os significados de ser jovem na periferia, a conformação de relações entre os jovens e entre jovens e adultos, a divisão de tarefas e espaços de convivências, as construções e vivências de subjetividades e de relações de gênero e étnico-raciais. Os referenciais conceituais que fundamentam as análises são principalmente de autores contemporâneos pertencentes a diferentes áreas das ciências sociais, tais como Educação, Psicologia, Serviço Social, Sociologia, pois o tema das juventudes, que vem despontado com mais força na atualidade, demanda olhares multidisciplinares para melhor compreensão. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese de que o pertencimento a grupos juvenis, com protagonismos e participações culturais, sociais e políticas, propicia a ressignificação e a existência de novas relações de gênero e de raça-etnia, sinaladas por respeito, eqüidade, diálogo e alteridade, na contramão do que foi aprendido na infância e ainda é vivido na família, na escola e em algumas instâncias da sociedade. Apontam igualmente que as relações ressignificadas representam possibilidades de que esses jovens se transformem em agentes socializadores e multiplicadores, contribuindo para sua integração cidadã, assim como a de outros jovens

Abstract:

INTRODUÇÃO: A doença de Crohn (DC) é uma doença inflamatória intestinal (DII) crônica de etiologia desconhecida, apesar de fatores genéticos e ambientais estarem envolvidos. Os fatores étnicos relacionados com a DC são muito controversos. Parece haver uma maior incidência em brancos, porém alguns estudos demonstram aumento da prevalência entre negros nos últimos 30 anos e sugerem diferenças na apresentação clínica. O Brasil apresenta uma população miscigenada, com importante imigração européia e africana. Temos dois objetivos principais: 1) caracterizar os pacientes com DC em um centro de referência brasileiro e 2) correlacionar as características fenotípicas dos nossos pacientes com a raça/cor e ancestralidade. MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos 273 pacientes acompanhados no Ambulatório de Intestino do HC-FMUSP com o diagnóstico de DC previamente estabelecido. Dados demográficos, o curso e as características clínicas da doença, manifestações extra-intestinais, uso de medicamentos e escores de gravidade foram registrados a partir dos prontuários e de entrevistas com os pacientes. RESULTADOS: A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino (164 pacientes, 60%). A média da idade dos pacientes foi 40,3 anos + 13,9, sendo que a média da idade de início dos sintomas foi 28,4 anos + 12,7. A raça/cor predominante foi branca (68,8%), seguida por parda (21,5%), preta (7,8%), amarela (1,5%) e indígena (0,4%). História familiar de DII estava presente em 36 pacientes (13,2%). Cento e trinta e três pacientes referiram história de tabagismo (48,7%). Doença fistulizante foi registrada em 45,2% dos pacientes e 67% dos pacientes apresentaram algum tipo de manifestação extra-intestinal. A localização predominante da doença conforme a classificação de Viena foi íleo-colônica em 39,5% dos pacientes. A distribuição de sexo por raça/cor foi semelhante em todas as raças. Não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as diferentes raças. Analisando apenas brancos e negros (pretos + pardos), verificamos que foi semelhante a distribuição de sexo (60% de sexo feminino entre os brancos e 59% entre os negros; p=0,98), a presença de história familiar de doença inflamatória intestinal (16,2% entre os brancos e 7,6% entre os negros, p=0,08), a presença de doença fistulizante (43,5% dos brancos versus 48,7% dos negros; p=0,49), a presença de manifestações extra-intestinais (67% dos negros versus 66,9% dos brancos; p=1,0) e uso de corticosteróides (65,7% dos negros versus 73,9% dos brancos; p=0,21). Os brancos apresentaram doença restrita ao íleo terminal em 42,4% versus 23,4% nos negros (p=0,009). Não houve diferença na proporção de indivíduos necessitando cirurgia: 46,2% dos negros foram submetidos a cirurgia comparado com 53,2% dos brancos (p=0,34). Ao analisarmos a ancestralidade e não raça/cor declarada, também não encontramos nenhuma associação com idade do início dos sintomas, doença fistulizante, manifestações extra-intestinais, uso de imunossupressores, uso de corticosteróides ou cirurgia prévia. CONCLUSÕES: No Brasil, não encontramos diferenças na apresentação clínica ou gravidade da DC de acordo com raça/cor ou com a ancestralidade.
INTRODUCTION: Crohns disease (CD) is increasingly recognized in diverse ethnic populations. Ethnic factors related do CD are highly controversial. Apparently, there seems to be a higher incidence among white subjects. However, studies conducted in USA have shown an increase in prevalence among black subjects in the last 30 years. Overall, there is lack of information concerning the clinical phenotype (disease presentation and progression) so as to race, and literature remains controversial. Brazil has a multiracial society, with important European immigration and also Africans. AIM: to analyze the influence of race and/or ancestry on clinical presentation and progression in a multiracial society living in the same environment. METHODS: Two hundred and seventy three patients with CD seen in gastroenterology clinic of Hospital das Clínicas between June 2005 and July 2006 were analyzed to determine whether there were significant differences among racial/ancestry groups. Race was self-declared according to the classification used by IBGE (Brazilian Demographical Census classifies people according to race or skin color, which is declared by the person himself/herself according to the fallowing options: white, black, brown/mixed, yellow or indian). Ancestry (also declared by the patient) was described as European, African, mixture of African and European, Indian, Asian or another/unknown. The definition of disease location was according to the Vienna classification. The severity of disease was measured by the use of steroids, the use of immunomodulators (azathioprine or methotrexate) and the need of surgeries related to the disease. The evaluation of extra-intestinal manifestations consisted of 3 main categories: ophthalmological, dermatological and articular. Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS statistic software. RESULTS: Whites comprised 68.8%, blacks 7.8%, brown/mixed 21.5% and yellow 1.5%. One patient reported itself as American Indian. Comparing the whites and the African Americans (blacks and brown/mixed), we found no significant difference with respect to family history of inflammatory bowel disease (16.2% vs 7.6%; p=0.08), mean age at the onset of symptoms (27+12 vs 30+12; p=0.07), steroids use (73.9% vs 65.7%; p=0.21), immunomodulators use (74.3% vs 74%; p=0.96), surgery need (53.2% vs 46.2; p=0.34), perforating disease (43.5% vs 48.7%; p=0.49), ocular manifestations (8.8% vs 9.0%; p=0.96), skin manifestations (15.5 vs 15.8%; p=0.94), articular (64.5% vs 63.3% p=0.89). Smoking habits, a possible confounding factor, was similar in the two groups. The whites have more frequent disease location at the ileum (42.4% vs 23.4%; p= 0.009). Analyzing the ancestry, there were 36.8% European, 3.8% mixture of African and European, 9.2% African, 7.9% Indian, 1.3 Asian and 41% Brazilian/other/unknown. If we analyze the European ancestry compared to African, there were no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: There were no significant differences among the races (as defined by skin color) in most of the studied variables. There were difference only in respect to disease location, as described previously by others. It seems that in a multiracial society as Brazil, race, in respect of skin color or ancestry, may have some influence, but it is not an important factor defining presentation or progression of CD.

Abstract:

The Macpherson Inquiry (1999) was instrumental in forcing into the public domain the issue of police racism, which for decades had been an endemic part of police culture. My thesis, undertaken post Macpherson (1999), examined ongoing tensions in the policing of minority ethnic communities through a case study of policing in London’s ‘Little India’. My thesis highlights the continuing influence of racism in policing, describing a world of policing ethnically diverse communities that is far more complex, variable and contradictory than has yet been documented in the empirical policing literature. I describe how policing in Greenfield was a patchwork of continuity and change, illustrating how, despite the advances the police in Greenfield had made in eradicating overt racism from the organisation, passive prejudice remained rife among officers. Most notably, despite acknowledging Greenfield’s long resident Asian communities as the ‘indigenous population’, officers still had little knowledge about these communities, tending to classify them as ‘Asians’ in a way that obscured, rather than illuminated their diversity. Furthermore, while officers regarded ‘Asians’ as the established communities of Greenfield, new ‘problem populations’ - most notably Somalis, Muslims and travellers - emerged, with officers tending to engage with these communities in antagonistic ways, echoing themes from early studies of race and policing. Yet beneath this somewhat depressing overarching picture of policing, a more complex, contradictory network of attitudes and practice emerged, 3 encompassing both officers who were overtly hostile to ethnic diversity and also examples of inspirational officers committed to reforming the policing of minority ethnic communities. Having described policing in Greenfield, I conclude by discussing the wider ramifications for police legitimacy and democracy in Britain, arguing that until greater emphasis is placed on ensuring that the police support the equitable principles of democracy, the police in Greenfield and other areas will continue to fail the marginalised people who most need their services.
