Abstract Research shows that tensions between family carers and professionals become acute where the issue of compulsory admission to hospital is at stake. In England and Wales, a specific family member is appointed to safeguard the interests of a person assessed under the Mental Health Act 1983. This currently occurs through the Nearest Relative (NR) role. The Government is proposing to replace this with a Nominated Person role, chosen by the service user. Drawing on the concept of carer burden, this study reports on the views of nineteen NRs in England to discover their experiences of being involved in a …

Gambling And Gaming In The United Kingdom During The Covid-19 Lockdown, James Close, Stuart Gordon Spicer, Laura Louise Nicklin, J Lloyd, Ben Whalley, H Lloyd
Peninsula Medical School
Abstract: During the first UK national COVID-19 lockdown, there were fears that increased online gaming and gambling could negatively impact wellbeing. Using a cross-sectional retrospective change survey of 631 UK adult gamers and/or gamblers during the week the UK lockdown was partially lifted (June 2020), we investigated participation in gaming/gambling and relationships with problem gaming, problem gambling and wellbeing (using the following previously validated scales: the Internet Gaming Disorder Short Form; a short-form version of the Problem Gambling Severity Index; a short-form of theWarwick–Edinburgh MentalWell-Being Scale). Results indicated a near-doubling in gaming activity during lockdown and significant increases in problem …

The Self-Management Abilities Test (Smat): A Tool To Identify The Self-Management Abilities Of Adults With Bronchiectasis, Kr Smalley, L Aufegger, K Flott, Ek Mayer, A Darzi
Peninsula Medical School
Bronchiectasis is an increasingly common chronic respiratory disease which requires a high level of patient engagement in self-management. Whilst the need for self-management has been recognised, the knowledge and skills needed to do so— and the extent to which patients possess these—has not been well-specified. On one hand, understanding the gaps in people’s knowledge and skills can enable better targeting of self-management supports. On the other, clarity about what they do know can increase patients’ confidence to self-manage. This study aims to develop an assessment of patients’ ability to self-manage effectively, through a consensus-building process with patients, clinicians and policymakers. …

Tangrams: A Simple Visual Tool For Communicating The Complexities Of Professionalism, H Neve, S Hanks
Peninsula Medical School
Professionalism is vital for high quality healthcare and fundamental to health profession education. It is however complex, hard to define and can be challenging to teach, learn about and assess. We describe the development and use of an innovative visual tool, using a tangram analogy, to introduce and explore core professionalism concepts, which are often troublesome for both learners and educators. These include the hidden curriculum, capability, professional identity and the difference between unprofessionalism and high professional standards. Understanding these concepts can help individuals to see professionalism differently, encourage faculty to design professionalism programmes which focus on professional excellence, support …

Non‐Lethal Sampling For The Stable Isotope Analysis Of The Critically Endangered European Eel Anguilla Anguilla : How Fin And Mucus Compare To Dorsal Muscle, Rm Boardman, Ac Pinder, At Piper, Catherine Gutmann Roberts, Rm Wright, Jr Britton
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Ecological studies on the critically endangered European eel Anguilla anguilla often incorporate stable isotope analysis that typically uses dorsal muscle sampled from euthanised eels. To minimise the lethal sampling of imperilled populations, fin tissue and/or epidermal mucus can provide non-lethal alternatives to muscle. The results here indicate that δ13 C and δ15 N values of both eel fin and mucus are not significantly different from those of muscle and can be applied directly in comparative SI studies.

Improving Access To Oral Healthcare For People Experiencing Homelessness Is Good For Public Health, Robert Witton, Martha Paisi
Peninsula Dental School
Homelessness remains a topic of intense media interest and government action has highlighted the need to develop a comprehensive strategy to address homelessness and the health inequalities that result. While there is fantastic work going on across the country to address the needs of the homeless population there is little discussion of oral health and how to integrate it more fully into the wider public health response. In this paper, Robert Witton and Martha Paisi cover the major issues and what can be done to improve this position.
Addressing Big Data Variety Using An Automated Approach For Data Characterization, Georgios Vranopoulos, Nathan Clarke, Shirley Atkinson
Addressing Big Data Variety Using An Automated Approach For Data Characterization, Georgios Vranopoulos, Nathan Clarke, Shirley Atkinson
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
AbstractThe creation of new knowledge from manipulating and analysing existing knowledge is one of the primary objectives of any cognitive system. Most of the effort on Big Data research has been focussed upon Volume and Velocity, while Variety, “the ugly duckling” of Big Data, is often neglected and difficult to solve. A principal challenge with Variety is being able to understand and comprehend the data. This paper proposes and evaluates an automated approach for metadata identification and enrichment in describing Big Data. The paper focuses on the use of self-learning systems that will enable automatic compliance of data against regulatory …

Reflecting On Early Help With Migrant Families: A View From Practice, K Begum, T Flint, G Hunt, A Jolly, A Stringer
School of Health Professions
This paper describes a practitioner reflection on early help for migrant families with no recourse to public funds. We used Maclean’s ‘weather model’ to examine the positives and challenges of the work. The reflection led to positive changes in programme delivery, but also highlighted tensions between following a structured practice manual and allowing practitioner autonomy, and the friction that ‘hostile environment’ restrictions caused between statutory and voluntary sectors, and between service users and local authority social workers. We suggest that the experience highlights the need for future service development which includes the voice of social workers.

Covid-19 Pandemic Impact On Psychotropic Prescribing For Adults With Intellectual Disability: An Observational Study In English Specialist Community Services, Danial Naqvi, Bhathika Perera, Sarah Mitchell, Rory Sheehan, Rohit Shankar
Peninsula Medical School
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a disproportionate impact on people with intellectual disability (PwID). PwID are at higher risk of mental illness and receive psychotropic prescribing 'off licence' also, to manage distress behaviour. The lockdown and reduction of multidisciplinary face-to-face appointments had an impact on care delivery, the recourse possibly being psychotropic prescribing. It is imperative to comprehend the influence the pandemic had on psychotropic prescribing patterns to enable future planning. Aims The aim was to understand the impact of the pandemic by comparing psychotropic prescribing patterns during the England lockdown with the prescribing patterns before lockdown in …

Re-Purposing Universities: The Path To Purpose, Victoria Hurth, Iain S. Stewart
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
As the extent of damage to environmental systems from our business-as-usual activity becomes ever more alarming, Universities as core social institutions are under pressure to help society lead the transition to a sustainable future. Their response to the issues, that they themselves have helped reveal, has, however, been widely criticised for being wholly inadequate. Universities can be observed to engage with sustainability issues inad-hocways, with the scale of attention and commitment dependant mainly on the level of pressure exerted by stakeholders that works to overcome aspects of inherent inertia. Sustainability initiatives can therefore be regarded mainly as bolt-ons. This mirrors …

We report on the first proof-of-concept system demonstrating how one can control a qubit with mental activity. We developed a method to encode neural correlates of mental activity as instructions for a quantum computer. Brain signals are detected utilizing electrodes placed on the scalp of a person, who learns how to produce the required mental activity to issue instructions to rotate and measure a qubit. Currently, our proof-of-concept runs on a software simulation of a quantum computer. At the time of writing, available quantum computing hardware and brain activity sensing technology are not sufficiently developed for real-time control of quantum …

Deep Learning For Audio Segmentation And Intelligent Remixing, Satvik Venkatesh
Deep Learning For Audio Segmentation And Intelligent Remixing, Satvik Venkatesh
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Theses
Audio segmentation divides an audio signal into homogenous sections such as music and speech. It is useful as a preprocessing step to index, store, and modify audio recordings, radio broadcasts and TV programmes. Machine learning models for audio segmentation are generally trained on copyrighted material, which cannot be shared across research groups. Furthermore, annotating these datasets is a time-consuming and expensive task. In this thesis, we present a novel approach that artificially synthesises data that resembles radio signals. We replicate the workflow of a radio DJ in mixing audio and investigate parameters like fade curves and audio ducking. Using this …

Written for everyone ever denied the opportunity of fulfilling their academic potential, this is ‘Chloe’s story’. Using composite selves, a phrase chosen to indicate multiplicities and movement, to story both the initial event leading to ‘Chloe’s’ immediate withdrawal from a Further Education college and an imaginary second chance to support her whilst at university, this Deleuzo-Guattarian (2015a) ‘assemblage’ of post qualitative inquiries offers challenge to discursively constructed structures and writing conventions in academia. Adopting a posthuman approach to theorising to shift attention towards affects and intensities always relationally in action in multiple ‘assemblages’, these inquiries aim to decentre individual ‘lecturer’ …
