Psychological Well-Being And The Charitable Bequest Decision, Lucy Margaret Lowthian
Psychological Well-Being And The Charitable Bequest Decision, Lucy Margaret Lowthian
Plymouth Business School Theses
There are currently 168,000 charities registered in England and Wales who in 2017 raised a combined £75.35 billion (Hillier, 2018), yet less than £3 billion of this total was donated from gifts in wills (Smee & Ford, 2018). At present, only 6.3 per cent of people in the UK leave a bequest to charities in their will (Smee & Ford 2019) despite 70 per cent of people supporting a charity during their lifetime (Dauncey 2005). Legacy income is estimated to rise to £5.9 billion by 2045 (Legacy Foresight, 2019), yet despite the importance of gifts in wills to charities and …

Dynamic Flood Topographies In The Terai Region Of Nepal, E. H. Dingle, M. J. Creed, H. D. Sinclair, D. Gautam, N. Gourmelen, A. G.L. Borthwick, M. Attal
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
AbstractFlood hazard maps used to inform and build resilience in remote communities in the Terai region of southern Nepal are based on outdated and static digital elevation models (DEMs), which do not reflect dynamic river configuration or hydrology. Episodic changes in river course, sediment dynamics, and the distribution of flow down large bifurcation nodes can modify the extent of flooding in this region, but these processes are rarely considered in flood hazard assessment. Here, we develop a 2D hydrodynamic flood model of the Karnali River in the Terai region of west Nepal. A number of scenarios are tested examining different …
Lab-Scale Bioremediation Technology: The Development Of Environmental Biotechnology For The Ex Situ Bioremediation Of Cadmium-Contaminated Freshwater, Nadia Jebril
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most common contaminates in freshwater. Among freshwater remediation techniques, bioremediation – the use of bacteria to extract Cd from water – is an eco-friendly technique. Cd-resistant bacteria evolve in the natural environment and can be used to develop a bioremediation process for Cd. However, gaining an adaptive strain is usually difficult. This research aimed to find an alternative bioremediation process for Cd from freshwater using Cd-resistant bacteria. To increase the Cd-resistance of the isolated Brevibacillus agri C15, UV-light mutagenesis was used to generate the mutant B. agri C15 CdR with a minimum inhibitory concentration …

Winter Anthropology In Finland: Exploring ‘Green Care’ In Low Light, J Tredinnick-Rowe
Winter Anthropology In Finland: Exploring ‘Green Care’ In Low Light, J Tredinnick-Rowe
Peninsula Medical School
This photo essay discusses some of the methodological issues for medical anthropology in the environmental human health sector, particularly, how season and latitude shape the types of anthropology that can be employed, the activities that can be undertaken, and their aesthetic effect on visual ethnography. The essay recounts the author’s experiences conducting ethnographic studies in the winter months in Finland and discusses the various challenges that environmental conditions produce for researchers.

Defining Coastal Resilience, Gerd Masselink, Ei D. Lazarus
Defining Coastal Resilience, Gerd Masselink, Ei D. Lazarus
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The concept of resilience has taken root in the discourse of environmental management, especially regarding Building with Nature strategies for embedding natural physical and ecological dynamics into engineered interventions in developed coastal zones. Resilience is seen as a desirable quality, and coastal management policy and practice are increasingly aimed at maximising it. Despite its ubiquity, resilience remains ambiguous and poorly defined in management contexts. What is coastal resilience? And what does it mean in settings where natural environmental dynamics have been supplanted by human-dominated systems? Here, we revisit the complexities of coastal resilience as a concept, a term, and a …

Terrestrial fossil records from the SW Anatolian basins are crucial both for regional correlations and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. By reassessing biostratigraphic constraints and incorporating new fossil data, we calibrated and reconstructed the late Neogene and Quaternary palaeoenvironments within a regional palaeogeographical framework. The culmination of the Taurides in SW Anatolia was followed by a regional crustal extension from the late Tortonian onwards that created a broad array of NE-trending orogen-top basins with synchronic associations of alluvial fan, fluvial and lacustrine deposits. The terrestrial basins are superimposed on the upper Burdigalian marine units with a c. 7 myr of hiatus that corresponds …

A Safer Future With Clues From Earthquakes Past, L Menegon, I Stewart
A Safer Future With Clues From Earthquakes Past, L Menegon, I Stewart
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Understanding the short- and long-term mechanical behaviour of the lower crust is of fundamental importance when trying to understand the earthquake cycle and related hazard along active fault zones. In some regions some 20% of intracontinental earthquakes of magnitude > 5 nucleates in the lower crust at depth of 30-40 km. For example, a significant proportion of seismicity in the Himalaya, as well as aftershocks associated with the destructive 2001 Bhuj earthquake in India, nucleated in the granulitic lower crust of the Indian shield. Earthquakes in the continental interiors are often devastating and, over the past century, have killed significantly more …
Dark Carbon Fixation In The Arabian Sea Oxygen Minimum Zone Contributes To Sedimentary Organic Carbon (Som), Sk Lengger, D Rush, Jp Mayser, J Blewett, Et Al
Dark Carbon Fixation In The Arabian Sea Oxygen Minimum Zone Contributes To Sedimentary Organic Carbon (Som), Sk Lengger, D Rush, Jp Mayser, J Blewett, Et Al
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
In response to rising CO2 concentrations and increasing global sea surface temperatures, oxygen minimum zones (OMZ), or “dead zones”, are expected to expand. OMZs are fueled by high primary productivity, resulting in enhanced biological oxygen demand at depth, subsequent oxygen depletion, and attenuation of remineralization. This results in the deposition of organic carbon-rich sediments. Carbon drawdown is estimated by biogeochemical models; however, a major process is ignored: carbon fixation in the mid- and lower water column. Here, we show that chemoautotrophic carbon fixation is important in the Arabian Sea OMZ; and manifests in a 13C-depleted signature of sedimentary organic carbon. …

A Longitudinal Approach To Examining The Socio-Economic Resilience Of The Alento District (Italy) To Land Degradation—1950 To Present, Rosanna Salvia, Claire L. Kelly, Geoff A. Wilson, Giovanni Quaranta
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Land degradation is a multifaceted phenomenon. In many mountainous and hilly areas that are marginal in terms of their economic and social sustainability, degradation is closely linked to population decline through ageing and outmigration, and to the abandonment of land, leading to a loss of community resilience. These processes acting together can produce positive feedback loops, with the consequential loss of socio-economic resilience at larger spatial scales that can ultimately lead to the disintegration of entire territories. Drawing on recent advances in defining, integrating, and operationalizing the measurement of resilience, this paper took a new approach by exploring changing resilience …

Reflections On Researching Afghanistan, J Flint
Reflections On Researching Afghanistan, J Flint
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
Afghanistan is a beautiful country and makes for a fascinating social science case study. Landlocked and sandwiched between Persia/Iran in the west, the Russosphere to the north, China in the north-east, and India/Pakistan to the south and east, Afghanistan has a diverse physical and human geography. The dissecting mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush, four major river systems and harsh deserts, including the Dasht-e-Margo (‘plain of death’) and Registan (‘land of sand’) have resulted in a fragmentary, largely rural and feudal-like tribal society in the provinces and a historically weak central state in Kabul’s mountain basin. Afghans popularly hold a …

Taking Age Out Of Play: Children’S Animistic Philosophising Through A Picturebook, Joanna Haynes, Karin Murris
Taking Age Out Of Play: Children’S Animistic Philosophising Through A Picturebook, Joanna Haynes, Karin Murris
Plymouth Institute of Education
This paper emerges from experiences of putting picturebooks, philosophy with children and posthumanism into play. Responding to Derrida's notion of a ‘return to childhood’, we propose a different move of ‘re-turning to child/ren’, drawing from various entangled sources. First, the figuration of posthuman child (Murris, 2016) disrupts the conception of temporality that takes development and progress as inevitable. The posthuman child expresses the idea of the knowing subject as an unbounded sympoietic system. We put to work Miranda Fricker's notion of epistemic injustice to reanimate thought, with Tim Ingold and Jane Bennett. In respect of children's animistic philosophizing, our writing …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Earthquakes induced by subsurface industrial activities are a globally emotive issue, with a growing catalog of induced earthquake sequences. However, attempts at discriminating between natural and induced causes, particularly for anomalously shallow seismicity, can be challenging. An earthquake swarm during 2018–2019 in southeast England with a maximum magnitude of ML 3.2 received great public and media attention because of its proximity to operating oilfields. It is therefore vital and timely to provide a detailed characterization of the earthquake sequence at present, and to decide based on current evidence, whether the earthquakes were likely natural or induced. We detected 168 low-magnitude …
