(Un)Just Transitions For Youth And The Disabled? The Exclusionary Pressures Facing Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Education, Elizabeth Done, Helen Knowler, Irina Lazar, Sylvia Hayes, Joshua Lait, Andrea Perez-Porres
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
This paper highlights the under-representation of young people with disabilities in STEM subjects and career pathways, with particular reference to the engineering sector given its prominent role in the design of energy systems related to net-zero policies. We consider the role of physical infrastructure, and pedagogic and representational practices, in facilitating the marginalisation and under-representation of young people with disabilities. Ultimately, we seek a broader understanding of the ‘just transition’ that acknowledges the role of education in ensuring the active participation of all young people, regardless of learning difficulty or disability or social identity, in that transition. The research is …
Exploration Psychology: Preparing Explorers More Effectively For Expeditions., Jon Rhodes
Exploration Psychology: Preparing Explorers More Effectively For Expeditions., Jon Rhodes
School of Psychology
Exploration environments expose individuals and teams to prolonged uncertainty, physical risk, and cognitive strain. Despite advances in expedition technology and logistics, psychological preparation for extreme environments remains comparatively underdeveloped. This presentation introduces the concept of exploration psychology as an applied framework for preparing individuals and teams to function effectively in high-risk and unpredictable expedition contexts. Drawing on research from performance psychology, stress physiology, and cognitive science, the talk outlines how psychological mechanisms underlying fear, attention, and decision-making influence behaviour in extreme environments. Fear responses involve rapid amygdala activation followed by potential top-down regulation through prefrontal cognitive appraisal, shaping behavioural responses …

Digital Material Passports In The Aec Industry: A Scoping Review And Conceptualisation Of Future Research Challenges, Alejandro Veliz Reyes, Duhan Olmez, Jason Grout, Alexandra Carr
School of Art, Design and Architecture
Material passports (MPs) are datasets designed to track and manage building elements’ lifecycles, including the documentation of provenance, location, or disassembly information. The last few years have seen a growth in MPs development, catalysed by international, national, and regional directives on decarbonisation, data transparency, product labelling, and the need to rethink the reporting of sustainability metrics in the built environment. Recent MP prototypes, however, encompass multiple data architectures and have been implemented across various building typologies, regulatory jurisdictions, and construction processes, resulting in unclear adoption pathways in industry. In response to this challenge, this paper maps this emerging field using …

Background: Complex socio-cultural, psychological, geographical, and service-related challenges are faced when recruiting people with dementia for clinical trials. The aim of Phase 1 of the Dementia PersonAlised Care Team (D-PACT) project was to assess the feasibility of recruiting (identifying, approaching and consenting) people with dementia, including those without capacity to consent, to a cluster randomized controlled trial of a primary care-based personalized dementia support intervention in England. COVID-19 necessitated a shift to remote working, creating the opportunity to compare recruitment strategies before and under lockdown constraints. This paper shares the adaptations made to enable remote consent and capacity judgement with …
The Impact Of Changes In Real Income And The Real Effective Exchange Rate On Trade In Goods And Services, Ioannis Litsios, Tjeerd Boonman, Keith Pilbeam
The Impact Of Changes In Real Income And The Real Effective Exchange Rate On Trade In Goods And Services, Ioannis Litsios, Tjeerd Boonman, Keith Pilbeam
Plymouth Business School
We use foreign trade data on both imports and exports of goods and services among a group of 15 advanced economies to determine the incomes and price elasticities of demand for exports and imports of goods, services and goods and services combined in the long run. We find that changes in foreign and domestic income have, as expected, a positive long-run impact on the demand for exports and imports, respectively, with the impact of income changes being typically greater on the demand for services than on the demand for goods. We also confirm that a depreciation in the real effective …

The Regulation Of The Hippo Signalling Pathway Effector Yap Through A Novel Lipid-Dependent Extracellular Matrix Complex, Simge Karagil, Natalia Haddad, Michael Stolinski, Natasha Hill, Darren Johnson, Nadine Wehida, Ahmed Elbediwy
The Regulation Of The Hippo Signalling Pathway Effector Yap Through A Novel Lipid-Dependent Extracellular Matrix Complex, Simge Karagil, Natalia Haddad, Michael Stolinski, Natasha Hill, Darren Johnson, Nadine Wehida, Ahmed Elbediwy
School of Biomedical Sciences
Lipid metabolism plays a significant role in the regulation of various critical pathways within cells, where enhanced lipid metabolism is a hallmark of cancer cell metabolism. The Hippo signalling pathway poses as an important signalling pathway that governs tissue growth control and tumorigenesis. The effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, Yes-associated protein (YAP), serves as a central regulator for this growth control. Once a tissue develops to its correct size, YAP is phosphorylated and inactivated within the cytoplasm by the activation of the Hippo pathway, where its inactivation results in YAP nucleus translocation. This allows its dephosphorylation, modulating various cellular …

Coastal boulder deposits provide vital information on extreme wave events. They are crucial for understanding storm and tsunami impacts on rocky coasts, and for understanding long-term hazard histories. But study of these deposits is still a young field, and growth in investigation has been rapid, without much contactbetween research groups. Therefore, inconsistencies in field data collection among different studies hinder crosssite comparisons and limit the applicability of findings across disciplines. This paper analyses field methodologiesfor coastal boulder deposit measurement based using an integrated database (ISROC-DB), and demonstrates inconsistencies in current approaches. We use the analysis as a basis for outlining …

Newspapers And Schooling: A Comparative Field Analysis Of England And Germany, Christian Herzog, Peter Kelly
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
This study establishes a field analytic approach for investigating and comaparing the influence of the print news media on educational politics in England and Germany. We identify cases from each country where national, regional and local newspapers act as intermediaries between actors engaged in discussions about schools and then subject these to field analyses focused on the form and content of press coverage. This allows us to identify in each country the role of newspapers as sites of political debate, as political actors and as shapers of public opinion.

Myocardial Protection By Acidic Amino Acids And Natural Dipeptides: Potential For An Underused Resource, N. King
School of Biomedical Sciences
Stopping then restarting the blood flow to the heart can cause ischaemia reperfusion (IR) injury. This can happen during revascularisation following a myocardial infarction and during on pump cardiac surgery using cardioplegic arrest. Despite extensive studies to identify cardioprotective interventions, the myocardium continues to sustain significant injury. Therefore, there is a need to identify agents that can be used during IR. This review focuses on the potential cardioprotective role for acidic amino acids and natural dipeptides using evidence from experimental studies and clinical trials with particular emphasis on their membrane transport. Acidic amino acids are present at high concentration in …

Young Carers In Early Childhood - Exploring Experience With The Power Threat Meaning Framework, Carly Ellicott, Alyson Norman, Helen Lloyd, Felicity Dewsbery, Sarah Jones, Shoshana Jones
School of Psychology
This paper presents the first exploration of young carers in early childhood (YCEC), in the context of whole family support, through the application of the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF). Existing contributions to young carer research have shaped social policy, legislation, and practice concerned with whole family approaches to the identification, assessment, and support for young carers globally. To date, the literature has predominantly focused on young carers in middle childhood to young adulthood, contributing to socially constructed Eurocentric ideologies of who young carers are likely to be. As such, YCEC remain disempowered in broader young carer and family science …
