JNK1 stress signaling is hyper-activated in high breast density and the tumor stroma: Connecting fibrosis, inflammation, and stemness for cancer prevention (2013)
Journal Article

Mammography is an important screening modality for the early detection of DCIS and breast cancer lesions. More specifically, high mammographic density is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. However, the biological processes underlying...

Policing and mental illness in the era of deinstutionalisation and mass incarceration: A UK Perspective (2013)
Journal Article
Cummins, I. (2013). Policing and mental illness in the era of deinstutionalisation and mass incarceration: A UK Perspective. International journal of criminology & sociological theory, 6(4), 92-104

The policy of deinstitutionalisation, a progressive policy aimed at reducing the civic and social isolation of the mentally ill, did not achieve its utopian aims. Wolff (2005)/Moon (2000) argue that the Asylum has been replaced by fragmented, disloca...

Nutrient release from integrated constructed wetlands sediment receiving farmyard run-off and domestic wastewater (2013)
Journal Article

Constructed wetland sediments are frequently contaminated with nitrogen and phosphorus. There is a risk that accumulated pollutants can either be remobilised or reach the groundwater. Five identical mesocosms, which were filled with subsoil collected...
