Generative Ai In Digital Engagement: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Tourist Sentiment, Waqas Ali, Dulekha Kasturiratne, Irfan Ameer, Shikhar Bhaskar
Generative Ai In Digital Engagement: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Tourist Sentiment, Waqas Ali, Dulekha Kasturiratne, Irfan Ameer, Shikhar Bhaskar
Plymouth Business School
This study examines whether generative AI can enhance tourist sentiment in online reviews by acting as a consistent and scalable form of digital engagement. Using a quasi-experimental Difference-in-Differences design, we analysed 11,393 reviews collected for six months from five Indian restaurants in a UK tourist city, where one restaurant adopted ChatGPT-generated responses and four served as controls. Results show that AI mediated responses produced a significant improvement in tourist sentiment, with similar effects across both social (Google, Facebook) and delivery-oriented platforms (Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats). Response features such as tone, personalisation, and length had limited additional influence, indicating that …

Professional Services
It is estimated that 40% of UK undergraduates commute to study, travelling varying distances, and often daily. Although commuting can be challenging, many learners see it as a way to access university, whilst maintaining existing commitments and support networks, and offsetting growing costs of higher education (HE). This study employed a novel participatory mapping technique to stimulate focus groups of second- and third-year undergraduates who commute. We explored participants’ engagement with their institution’s campus, and online/digital spaces. Our findings show commuters have nuanced and intentional interactions with the University’s physical and digital landscape. We consider how these interactions may be …

The Development Of Ace-Iii Performance Validity Tests For Dementia Screening, Donnchadh Murphy, Rupert Noad
Peninsula Medical School
Objective: Performance validity tests (PVTs) are an essential component of a neuropsychological evaluation. There is a lack of brief validated PVTs for use alongside cognitive screening assessments for dementia. The current study sought to develop and evaluate a series of brief PVTs, which could be embedded into the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE-III) and used in a dementia clinic. Method: This study used a diagnostic accuracy design to compare the performance of 31 individuals with Alzheimer’s disease dementia and 26 healthy older adults who simulated having Alzheimer’s disease. Participants were asked to complete ACE-III, the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM), and …

A National Uk-Wide Survey Of Tranexamic Acid Use In Vascular Surgery, K Atha, A Shah, J Fabes, K Bera
A National Uk-Wide Survey Of Tranexamic Acid Use In Vascular Surgery, K Atha, A Shah, J Fabes, K Bera
Peninsula Medical School
Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used to reduce perioperative bleeding in several surgical specialties; however, its role in vascular surgery remains uncertain. Concerns regarding arterial, venous and graft thrombosis, together with limited and low-certainty evidence of efficacy, have contributed to variation in practice across the UK. According to the 2025 National Vascular Registry there were nearly 20,000 major vascular operations carried out across the four nations. The 2023 NHS Blood and Transplant audit found TXA uptake in vascular surgery to be low (26.5%) when compared with other specialties such as cardiac, orthopaedic and trauma surgery, which each had TXA …

Amazon rainforests face intensifying water stress due to increases in vapour pressure deficit and changing hydrological regimes. Embolism resistance (Ψ50) is a critical metric of tree survival under drought conditions, it is defined as a plant’s capacity to resist disruption of xylem water flow due to air bubble formation from water stress. However, measurements of Ψ50 are only available for a limited number of Amazon locations and species. Conversely, data on forest taxonomic composition are abundant across Amazonia, and if Ψ50 is conserved phylogenetically, these data could provide a way to scale-up drought resistance patterns. Here …
Short-Term Spark Or Long-Term Flame? Sustaining Academic Psychiatric Departments, Rohit Shankar, Richard Laugharne, Derek K. Tracy, Dinesh Bhugra
Short-Term Spark Or Long-Term Flame? Sustaining Academic Psychiatric Departments, Rohit Shankar, Richard Laugharne, Derek K. Tracy, Dinesh Bhugra
Peninsula Medical School
SummaryOver the past two decades, the number of academic psychiatrists in the UK has declined by more than a third, despite an expansion in medical schools and growth in most other medical academic specialties. Drawing on direct experience of establishing a new academic unit, we argue that the long-term sustainability of academic psychiatry departments is critical for service quality, innovation and talent development. This paper outlines the structural, cultural and strategic factors needed to create academic units that endure and flourish beyond individual careers, enabling better integration of research and clinical practice.

Designing A Systemic Intervention For Student Loneliness And Social Connectedness Using A Mixed-Methods, Co-Creation Approach, Sophie Homer, Jackie Andrade, Jon May, Edward Meinert, Madison Milne-Ives, Onshell Relf, Alvise Rogers, Emily Cornford, Rebecca Richardson
School of Psychology
Loneliness and social (dis)connectedness are significant public health concerns, particularly among university students. Despite calls to reconceptualise loneliness as a systemic issue, interventions typically target individual students. This series of studies used a sequential mixed-methods and participatory action approach to explore students’ social experiences and co-design a digital health solution. Focus groups (Study One) and a survey (Study Two) revealed that students see universities as partly responsible for their social connectedness, with perceptions of campus space being key. These insights informed the co-design of MAPP (Study Three), a preventative, system-focused digital solution. MAPP is an interactive campus map that visualises …

An IPSE curriculum is in place within the University of Plymouth medical curriculum. Using reflexive thematic analysis of participating medical student's interview data, subsequently triangulated with theory from sociological and psychological literature, potential mechanisms of professional identity development through IPSE are discussed and implications for educational design explored.MethodsA qualitative approach was adopted utilising semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was used to select 10 …
Evaluating Functional Imagery Training And Internal Visual Imagery On Tennis Serve Performance, Jonathan Rhodes, Amelie Leach
Evaluating Functional Imagery Training And Internal Visual Imagery On Tennis Serve Performance, Jonathan Rhodes, Amelie Leach
School of Psychology
Imagery is widely used in sport, but its effectiveness depends on how it is structured and the range of senses engaged. This study compared Functional Imagery Training - a multisensory, motivational intervention - with single-sense internal visual imagery and a control condition without imagery training. Thirty-eight competitive tennis players completed imagery ability and preference assessments before engaging in a 6-week intervention. Serve accuracy was measured pre- and post intervention using a target-based scoring task. Both imagery conditions led to performance improvements, with Functional Imagery Training producing significantly greater gains. The control group showed no significant change. Imagery ability and preferred …

The Impact Of Face Masks On Social Perception Is Age-Dependent, Farid Pazhoohi, Maryam Rostami-Aghoui, Sepide Pazhouhi, Keina Aoki, Alan Kingstone
School of Psychology
Human faces are critical for social communication, enabling individuals to make rapid judgments about traits like trustworthiness and competence. Previous research suggests that face masks can enhance perceptions of trustworthiness and, to a lesser extent, competence, although findings on competence are more variable and context-dependent. Additionally, age-related facial cues influence social judgments, with older and younger faces being evaluated differently. This research examined the impact of face masks on perceptions of trustworthiness and competence across two age groups: young adults (Study 1) and old adults (Study 2). Study 1 revealed that face masks increased perceptions of trustworthiness and competence for …
Peer-Led Community Interventions Can Reduce Bronchiolitis Hospital Admissions By Influencing Parental Health-Seeking Behaviour, Danielle Edge, Ruth Kearns-Smith
Peer-Led Community Interventions Can Reduce Bronchiolitis Hospital Admissions By Influencing Parental Health-Seeking Behaviour, Danielle Edge, Ruth Kearns-Smith
School of Nursing and Midwifery
ContextBronchiolitis is a leading cause of infant hospital admission, placing seasonal pressure on paediatric services. Admission rates vary widely and are strongly associated with socioeconomic deprivation, reflecting differences in disease burden and healthcare utilisation.1 Despite rising admissions, PICU admissions have remained stable, indicating no increase in disease severity.1 Hospitalisation is therefore not inevitable and may reflect health-seeking behaviour. Evidence suggests that parental knowledge alone does not alter attendance, as these decisions are shaped by anxiety, perceived vulnerability and social norms.2 3 Parent champions have been proposed in bronchiolitis as an upstream intervention to address these influences.4 The study by Lee …

Ontology-Based E-Commerce Recommender System: A Hybrid Semantic Filtering Approach, Shaymaa Al-Juboori, Jocelyn Pua, Su-Cheng Haw, Lucia Dwi Krisnawati, Gee-Kok Tong
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to product overload, which has resulted in personalized product discovery becoming a crucial problem for consumers. Classic recommender systems (RS), which rely heavily on content-based filtering or collaborative filtering, tend to face well-known problems such as cold start, data sparsity, and ignorance of semantics. Such constraints frequently result in irrelevant or redundant suggestions, thereby lowering the user satisfaction and conversions. This study presents a hybrid ontology-based e-commerce recommender system that combines symbolic reasoning with deep semantic matching. The system is based on a Neo4j graph database to capture structured product relationships and is …

The Problem Of Insight: An Interpretive Phenomenological Approach To Understanding Awareness Following Acquired Brain Injury, David Bennett, Alyson Norman, Mark Holloway
School of Psychology
Context: Acquired brain injury (ABI) can result in executive impairments that can detrimentally impact an individual’s level of insight into the changes in functioning caused by their ABI. This, along with the difficulty professionals have in identifying executive impairments and relating these to functional changes, can lead to wrongful assumptions of functional abilities among those affected. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experience of individuals with ABI who demonstrate an impairment of insight with a view to documenting specific examples of impaired insight. Method: Four participants took part in a semi-structured interview analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). Feedback …

Adult community intellectual disability services in the United Kingdom (UK) are required to deliver specialist, evidence-based care for a variety of conditions while minimising restrictive practices and reliance on inpatient provision. Care pathway models have emerged as a potential mechanism to reconcile these aims yet remain under-used in care philosophies in intellectual disabilities. We propose a generalisable pathways model for community intellectual disability services and examine its implications for policy, clinical practice, and research. The model integrates care navigation, proportionate specialist input, and defined clinical condition care including behaviours that challenge, mental and physical health, forensics, neurodevelopmental conditions, epilepsy, and …

The histories of submarine explosive volcanoes are commonly poorly known due to inaccessibility of their eruptive archives. This raises uncertainties in the eruption frequencies of these highly hazardous systems, and in their interactions with neighboring volcanoes. The submarine Kolumbo Volcanic Chain (KVC) northeast of Santorini is made up of the polygenetic Kolumbo Volcano and a linear zone of more than 20 smaller volcanic cones and is one of the most active eruptive centers on the South Aegean Volcanic Arc. However, despite the destructive eruption of Kolumbo in 1650 CE, and unrest in 2024–2025, the eruptive history of the KVC is …

Emotional expressions play an important part in social communication of dogs and humans, but comparative studies between dogs and humans are rare. In addition, little is known about how emotions are perceived across species and how attention is divided among different parts of faces. Here, we compared the gazing behavior of dogs and adult humans toward emotional dog and human facial expressions. Dogs mostly gazed at the eye and nose areas, whereas the humans’ focus also included the mouth area. The gazing behavior of both species was affected by the facial expressions and species presented, and they gazed at emotional …
