Marine protected areas (MPAs) can protect and restore marine biodiversity and fisheries, but there are concerns that they may also benefit invasive species. The spatial and temporal colonization of invasive lionfish (Pterois miles) in the eastern Mediterranean was compared across zones with varying fishing restrictions (no fishing, recreational and commercial fishing, and commercial fishing only), and stations where targeted removal events were conducted by volunteer SCUBA divers. Lionfish density in no fishing areas was nearly double that of areas with commercial fishing only, and over four times greater than in areas where both commercial and recreational fishing were allowed. Lionfish …
Outcome Measures In Psychiatry, Rohit Shankar
Outcome Measures In Psychiatry, Rohit Shankar
Peninsula Medical School
Measuring what medical care does to improve the lives of patients must be at theheart of what we do (Ryland, Carlile and Kingdon, 2021). A crucial part of achievingthe ambition of parity between physical and mental health is for psychiatry to embrace,use and promote outcome measures as a way of demonstrating the positive impactthat well-resourced and structured mental health services can have for patients, theirfamilies, and society more widely.The Royal College of Psychiatrists strongly endorses and recommends the routine useof patient- and clinician-rated outcome measures in psychiatric practice (Tracy et al.,2022). Outcome measurement can improve care planning, progress-tracking, qualityimprovement, service …
International Summer Schools As A Platform Of Inclusive Education For Doctoral Students, Suparna Bagchi
International Summer Schools As A Platform Of Inclusive Education For Doctoral Students, Suparna Bagchi
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
This paper is based on reflections on my understanding of international summer schools, drawing from my personal experiences while participating in one of them, which took place in a European country in 2021. I argue that international summer schools can play an important role as an international academic forum in the practice of inclusive education for doctoral students and early career researchers from various perspectives. I use the model of three levels of inclusion advanced by Qvortrup and Qvortrup to justify my arguments in this autoethnographic study. I discuss the study methodology and provide an overview of the timetable followed …
Listening To Young Children With Disabilities: Experiences Of Quality In Mainstream Primary Education, Katherine Gulliver
Listening To Young Children With Disabilities: Experiences Of Quality In Mainstream Primary Education, Katherine Gulliver
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
All children should have access to quality education through a child-centred pedagogy. An inclusive, child-centred pedagogy uses a strength-based view of children that recognises each child as unique and competent, providing children with multiple opportunities to explore and learn at their own pace. However, competing tensions in mainstream primary education in England can impact this through a performative school culture that focusses on progress and attainment rather than the successful inclusion of all children including those with disabilities. This adult-centric view of education quality does not consider children's experiences of what happens in mainstream primary education, through their perspectives. The …

Examining Ecological Harshness, Sociosexuality, And Mate Value In Women’S Preferences For Men’S Height And Shoulder-To-Hip Ratio, Ray Garza, Regina Gonzalez Elizondo, Farid Pazhoohi
School of Psychology
Physical features in men, such as height and shoulder-to-hip ratio (SHR), have been shown to contribute to women’s mate preferences. The independent and interactive effects of height and SHR have been shown to be associated with attractiveness, masculinity, dominance, and fighting ability. It is suggested that these sexually dimorphic features are a reflection of men’s genetic quality, in addition to the ability to provide direct benefits (e.g., protection, resource provisioning). The current study investigated how ecological harshness may modulate women’s mate preferences to men displaying variations in height and SHR ratio. In a sample of predominately Hispanic women (N = …

Many coastal and rural areas in Britain are deprived. This regional aspect multiplies the effect of digital exclusion for older people. Younger people in these regions can also be digitally excluded. Codesigning digital technologies, using the natural and heritage resources of such regions would address this, but is rarely done. We present our methods and preliminary results, half-way through a 30-month project to develop novel technologies in extended reality, underwater telepresence, digital social games, and artificial intelligence voice interfaces and to use these assets to tackle digital exclusion. We are taking an intergenerational approach, working with 35 partner organizations, some …

The steady increment in electrical loads often requires expensive and disruptive upgrading of the electrical power supply infrastructure. This can be avoided by synergizing the DC railway networks with local AC grids using soft-open points to transfer the available regenerative braking energy of the trains to the nearby local grid. Besides, a battery energy storage system is integrated into the soft-open point to match the braking events with the grid load power. So that the new developed system effectively decouples both the rail and grid networks. This paper presents a practical study for such novel rail+grid energy management strategy. A …

Investigating The Effects Of Male Size And Pronotal Glowspots On Female Courtship Behaviour Of The Glowspot Cockroach (Lucihormetica Verrucosa), Ella X. Whitaker, Jane Akerman, Alexander D.M. Wilson
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Lucihormetica verrucosa (Blattodea, Blaberidae) are highly sexually dimorphic cockroaches, with the males having two symmetrically organised ‘glowspots’ on their pronotum. The spots can range in colour from whitish-yellow to red, depending on the quantity of carotenoids in their diet. These spots auto-fluoresce when exposed to UV wavelengths, with the amount of fluorescence inversely related to the carotenoid content. The diet-dependent aspect of the pronotal spots insinuates that they are a fitness-dependent trait and thus inform sexual selection, but existing studies have not directly investigated the role of the pronotal spots in courtship behaviour. Invertebrate sexual selection is commonly informed by …

Are Impacts Of The Invasive Alien Plant Crassula Helmsii Mediated By Detritus? A Litter Experiment In A Temperate Pond, Samuel J.L. Tasker, Andrew Foggo, David T. Bilton
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Because of the high growth rates often achieved by invasive alien macrophytes, their establishment in recipient ecosystems may alter the abundance and composition of litter entering detrital pathways, representing a significant—but often overlooked—ecological effect of these invasions. Crassula helmsii (Kirk) Cockayne (New Zealand pygmyweed) is an invasive alien macrophyte, notorious for its profuse growth in invaded waterbodies. C. helmsii is perennial and often forms dense stands, producing abundant detritus. To investigate whether some of C. helmsii’s impacts are mediated by this detritus, we conducted an 85-day litterbag experiment comparing decomposition of C. helmsii with that of Callitriche stagnalis Scop. (water-starwort), …

Plymouth Business School
Supply chain risk management (SCRM) literature is heterogeneous. While much attention has been given to the economic and environmental dimensions, the social dimension has so far received less focus. Thus, this study analyzes the social risks involved in the agri-food supply chains (AFSCs) of Argentina and China by employing an integrated approach. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, followed by using a combination of three complementary data analysis methods: thematic analysis to identify social risks, total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) to build interrelationships among the identified social risks, and fuzzy MICMAC (cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification analysis) to …

Social Environment-Based Opportunity Costs Dictate When People Leave Social Interactions, Anthony S. Gabay, Andrea Pisauro, Kathryn C. O’Nell, Matthew A. J. Apps
School of Psychology
There is an ever-increasing understanding of the cognitive mechanisms underlying how we process others' behaviours during social interactions. However, little is known about how people decide when to leave an interaction. Are these decisions shaped by alternatives in the environment - the opportunity-costs of connecting to other people? Here, participants chose when to leave partners who treated them with varying degrees of fairness, and connect to others, in social environments with different opportunity-costs. Across four studies we find people leave partners more quickly when opportunity-costs are high, both the average fairness of people in the environment and the effort required …

Background: Successful endodontic treatment needs accurate determination of working length (WL). Electronic apex locators (EALs) were presented as an alternative to radiographic methods; and since then, they have evolved and gained popularity in the determination of WL. However, there is insufficient evidence on the post-operative pain, adequacy, and accuracy of EALs in determining WL. Objective: The systematic review and meta-analysis aims to gather evidence regarding the effectiveness of EALs for WL determination when compared to different imaging techniques along with postoperative pain associated with WL determination, the number of radiographs taken during the procedure, the time taken, and the adverse …
