A variety of adsorbents such as carbon, hydrogels, clays, silca gels etc employed for the removal of radionuclides from aqueous solutions have been reported; but each has inherent limitations. The discovery of mesoporous materials with large surface area and wide uniform pores has provided a new dimension for the removal/recovery of radionuclides.
This project aims to develop new mesoporous silicates that have selectively for certain radionuclides or families of radionuclides. This will be achieved by engineering specific sites within the silicate structure during the preparative stage that can accommodate specific radionuclides whilst excluding others. This exclusion may be based on size and/or interactions with functional groups inserted into the lattice structure

Musculoskeletal problems in young people are common and consume considerable health resources. To date there has been limited focus on the aetiology and natural history of these disorders. Studies have in the main focused on older people because of the societal cost of disability. However there is some evidence that musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb in young adults may be associated with longer term problems. This PhD programme will take an epidemiological approach to investigating the prevalence of, incidence of and risk factors for lower limb problems in young adults

Conferance Populist Racism in Europe, Northampton, 29-30 September 2011‏

The Radicalism and New Media research group at the University of
Northampton will host a two-day international conference called "Populist
Racism in Britain and Europe since 1945". Following an established
tradition, this conference will bring together scholars, practitioners and
third sector professionals, engaged in ground-breaking research on the
causes, nature and effect of populist racism, or who are seeking to
provide a practical response to a vast array of concerns associated with
its impact. With the rapid rise of populist racism penetrating the
political, social, and cultural spheres, as well as the mass media, a
burst of studies on this cannot have come at a more apposite time.
However, the scholarly works in general – to practitioners' and officials'
disappointment – often fall behind the developmental trajectories of
populist racism, sometimes due to the lag-time between writing and actual
print publication of innovative research.
The agenda behind the International Conference "Populist Racism in
Britain and Europe since 1945" is exactly to reduce the lag time between
undertaking research and disseminating important findings, so these have
a timely impact on practice. At the same time scholars of populist racism
will have an opportunity to engage in a much needed, dynamic dialogue
with practitioners, which will allow academics align their research
priorities. The conference will therefore provide a combination of
theoretical and empirical studies on populist racism by established and
young scholars, as well as papers and reports from practitioners and
civil servants.

Day 1: Populist Racism in Britain
Day 1 of the conference will focus on populist racism in Britain and will
be case-oriented.
Themes:
– Comparative and/or historical analysis of British racist populism
– Prejudice against Travellers, immigrants and asylum-seekers
– The ever-changing face of anti-Semitism
– Religion is the new colour? The rise of Islamophobia
– Racism in the mass media, and cultural production
– Populist racism and crime
– English Defence League: from anti-extremist protests to a racist street
army
– British National Party: `common sense', `racial realism', or plain racism?
– `Traditional' vs. `non-traditional' immigrants: tensions among minority
groups

Day 2: Populist Racism across Europe
Day 2 will be country- and region-oriented, and feature four panels.
Panel 1 – Western Europe
Panel 2 – Northern Europe
Panel 3 – Central and Eastern Europe
Panel 4 – Southern Europe

Keynote addresses: Dr Hans-Georg Betz and others to be confirmed
Populist Racism in Britain and Europe since 1945
An International Conference
Thursday, 29 Sept. and Friday 30 Sept. 2011, Park Campus, University of
Northampton
To participate, please submit an abstract of no more than 200 words by 30
June 2011 to conference organisers:

International PhD Scholarship at Lancashire Law School, UK

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the Lancashire Law School. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years. The EU has been a key player on the international arena due to its position as the most powerful trading bloc in the world. Increasingly, the EU uses its economic leverage to influence changes in domestic sphere of trading partners which go beyond commercial co-operation and adjustment. These stretch from the liberal reforms of the domestic markets towards greater openness and privatisation to insistence of political reforms and upholding human rights standards. Egypt, Libya and Tunisia are EU partners under the EU Neighbourhood Policy (The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership). This project will outline and analyse the Neighbourhood polices deployed in relations with those countries, and also the indirect influence that the EU exerts ‘through trade’.The main purpose of this research will be to assess the impact of the EU policies on those countries law and politics, particularly from the perspective of the upheavals that those countries are currently undergoing. Such assessment should lead to a better understanding of the effects of EU policies in those countries and should lead to evaluation of the EU capability to effectively promote democratic change and stable political conditions in its partner countries.Applicants should have studied, or have a solid background in the EU law, or expect to receive a qualification equivalent to a high class UK honours degree. LLM, or equivalent will be an advantage.

International PhD Scholarship in Changing Images of the Arab World, University of Central Lancashire, UK

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the School of Journalism, Media & Communication. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years. Political analysts for Al Jazeera have suggested the ‘Dawn of a new Arab century’ (22/2/11). Hilary Clinton has claimed that America is losing the information war to stations such as Al Jazeera and RT (6/3/11).The resilience and determination of Egyptians and other Arab nations to assert a peaceful claim to power and demand democracy challenged the Western notion of the ‘arab exception’ to the desire for democracy and thus more broadly the dominant Orientalist stereotype of the East as irrational, unchanging, emotional and autocratic.
Through a critical discourse analysis approach, this PhD thesis will explore contemporary shifts in representations of the Arab world from the war on terror to the current Arab ‘revolutions’ to consider the ways in which an Orientalist/ ‘exception’ discourse is redrawn, challenged or asserted in western and/or Arab media in 2011. Will changing political realities and the methods of political action through which Arab people attempt to assert agency (Spivak 1988) impact on the Orientalist / ‘exception’ discourse? Should we revisit this agenda to consider the impact of an increasingly globalised consumer market on representation of the Arab world? (Ritzer 2007) The thesis will examine both visual and linguistic discourses. Applicants should have, or expect to receive a qualification equivalent to a high class UK honours degree.
