Conscious And Unconscious Processes In Human Desire, J Andrade, J May, Dk Kavanagh
Conscious And Unconscious Processes In Human Desire, J Andrade, J May, Dk Kavanagh
School of Psychology
Elaborated Intrusion theory (Kavanagh, Andrade & May 2005) distinguishes between unconscious, associative processes as the precursors of desire, and controlled processes of cognitive elaboration that lead to conscious sensory images of the target of desire and associated affect. We argue that these mental images play a key role in motivating human behavior. Consciousness is functional in that it allows competing goals to be compared and evaluated. The role of effortful cognitive processes in desire helps to explain the different time courses of craving and physiological withdrawal.
Perception And Awareness Of Accents In Young Children, C Floccia, F Girard, J Goslin
Perception And Awareness Of Accents In Young Children, C Floccia, F Girard, J Goslin
School of Psychology
This study examines children's metaphonological awareness for accent-related information in connected speech. In the first experiment, 5- to 6-year-old French-speaking children were asked to discriminate between Southern and Northern accented French in a sentence categorization task. It was found that these children were not able to reliably distinguish between these native variations of their own language, but were able to distinguish between their own accent and a strong foreign accent in Experiment 2. These findings were also replicated using a speaker discrimination task in Experiment 3, where children were asked to detect pairs of speakers sharing the same accent amongst …

Averting Catastrophic Climate Change: Confronting Wealth, V Hurth, P Wells
Averting Catastrophic Climate Change: Confronting Wealth, V Hurth, P Wells
Plymouth Business School
In the context of potential catastrophic climate change, it is vital that fundamental drivers of carbon dioxide emissions are pinpointed and addressed. One of the key drivers of these emissions is shown to be increased economic wealth. This paper highlights that links between wealth and carbon dioxide must be addressed, and that although highly debated, the links are not well considered, especially at the detailed level of what drives consumption preferences of the global wealthy. In the context of increasing wealth concentration and poverty gaps, this subject is central to issues of social justice as well as environmental integrity. © …

Three-Dimensional Shoaling Of Large-Amplitude Internal Waves, V. Vlasenko, N. Stashchuk
Three-Dimensional Shoaling Of Large-Amplitude Internal Waves, V. Vlasenko, N. Stashchuk
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The three-dimensional (3-D) shoaling of large-amplitude internal waves (LAIW) is studied in the framework of a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic numerical model. The vertical fluid stratification, parameters of the propagating waves and bottom topography were taken close to those observed in the northern part of the Andaman Sea. It was found that three-dimensional evolution of LAIWs propagating from the deep part of a basin onto the shelf differs from two-dimensional shoaling in many ways largely because of the process of wave refraction developing in the areas of local bottom elevations or depressions. In the 3-D case the wave refraction produces concave …

Health & Physical Education Specialist Teachers: What Should Brisbane Catholic Education (Bce) Primary Principals Look For?, Tj Lynch
Plymouth Institute of Education
The Health and Physical Education key learning area within Brisbane Catholic Education was given significant status during the release of the 1999 Health and Physical Education documents along with the adoption of the third enterprise bargaining agreement (EB3). EB3 entitled Catholic primary classroom teachers to 120 minutes of release time per week (Catholic Education Employing Authorities in Queensland, 2000). Release time is usually provided for classroom teachers by employing a specialist teacher. It seems to be a popular choice for many schools to employ a Health and Physical Education teacher so that both demands, to implement the Queensland Health and …
Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Psychosocial Interventions For Individuals With Visible Differences: A Systematic Review Of The Empirical Literature., Alyson Bessell, Timothy P. Moss
Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Psychosocial Interventions For Individuals With Visible Differences: A Systematic Review Of The Empirical Literature., Alyson Bessell, Timothy P. Moss
More Faculty of Health Research
The objective of this review was to systematically identify and evaluate all known studies testing empirically the efficacy of psychosocial intervention programmes for adults with visible differences. Twelve papers met the inclusion criteria. None of the papers demonstrated adequately the clinical effectiveness of the interventions. The review concluded that further research was needed to demonstrate adequately the effectiveness of existing interventions, and a greater number of Randomised Controlled Trials and experimental studies were required to increase the methodological validity of intervention studies.
What Has Changed Since The 1992 Senate Inquiry Into Physical And Sport Education? An Evaluation Of School Responses Within Three Brisbane Catholic Education (Bce) Primary Schools., Tj Lynch
Plymouth Institute of Education
In 1992 a Senate Inquiry into the state of Physical Education and Sport within Australian Education systems was conducted by the Federal Government after claims that the Physical Education (PE) key learning area was in crisis. This was regarded as the most significant review in the history of Physical Education (Kirk, 1998). The Inquiry identified problems with resources, time allocation and the quality in which it was being delivered. Since the Senate Inquiry, detailed Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculum documents have been developed and implemented which in Queensland replaced the outdated 1972 PE syllabus. This study found that within …
Analysis Of Supercritical Stratified Tidal Flow In A Scottish Fjord, Nataliya Stashchuk, Mark Inali, Vasiliy Vlasenko
Analysis Of Supercritical Stratified Tidal Flow In A Scottish Fjord, Nataliya Stashchuk, Mark Inali, Vasiliy Vlasenko
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The baroclinic tidal regime of the fjord Loch Etive (Scotland) is studied. Analysis is performed on the basis of both in situ data and numerical simulations, with the use of a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic fine-resolution model. It was found that the crest of the sill that separates Loch Etive into inner and outer parts is subjected to a supercritical flow regime with maximum Froude numbers in excess of 5. Strong supercritical conditions lead to the formation of flow separation just above the sill's crest. As is inherent to jet-type fjordic systems, this, in turn, leads to a weak nonlinear baroclinic …

Custom-Made Total Contact Insoles And Prefabricated Functional Diabetic Insoles: A Case Report, J Paton, E Stenhouse, R Jones, G Bruce
School of Health Professions
Insoles are commonly prescribed to offload the mechanical stresstransmitted to the plantar tissues of the foot. Traditionally, thecustom-made total-contact insole (TCI) is favoured over itsprefabricated counterpart. The introduction of a new prefabricateddiabetic insole (A Algeo Ltd, Liverpool) designed to modify footbiomechanics may offer an instant, low-cost, clinically-effectivealternative. We report on a comparison of the two insoles in thecase of a 54-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and peripheralneuropathy, presenting with ulceration overlying the thirdmetatarsal region. The F-scan in-shoe pressure measurement system(TEKSCAN) provided an objective measure of effect.
The Characteristics Of Sino-Taiwanese Joint Ventures In The People's Republic Of China, Chen-Yu James Liu
The Characteristics Of Sino-Taiwanese Joint Ventures In The People's Republic Of China, Chen-Yu James Liu
Plymouth Business School Theses
The main objective of this thesis is to shed light on the characteristics and performance of Sino-Taiwanese joint ventures (JVs) in the People's Republic of China and in particular to investigate the role played by guanxi (interpersonal relationships) in their formation and in the way they function. The research shows that guanxi enhances the effectiveness of Taiwanese joint venture partners by overcoming unanticipated external environmental factors and enabling them to deal with the complex internal managerial issues associated with the Chinese market. The different political and economic relations between Taiwan and China make the joint venture entry strategy attractive to …
Hypoxia-Regulated Carbonic Anhydrase Ix Expression Is Associated With Poor Survival In Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer, Sa Hussain, R Ganesan, G Reynolds, L Gross, Et Al
Hypoxia-Regulated Carbonic Anhydrase Ix Expression Is Associated With Poor Survival In Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer, Sa Hussain, R Ganesan, G Reynolds, L Gross, Et Al
Peninsula Medical School
Tumour hypoxia is a microenvironmental factor related to poor response to radiation, chemotherapy, genetic instability, selection for resistance to apoptosis, and increased risk of invasion and metastasis. Hypoxia-regulated carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) has been studied in various tumour sites and its expression has been correlated with the clinical outcome. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of CA IX expression with outcome in patients with invasive breast cancer. We conducted a retrospective study examining the effects of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) on survival in patients with breast cancer. To facilitate the screening of multiple tissue …
The Rape Of Mary Raymond : A Radical View Of Rape In Mary Hays's The Memoirs Of Emma Courtney And The Victim Of Prejudice, Sarah Ann Oliver
The Rape Of Mary Raymond : A Radical View Of Rape In Mary Hays's The Memoirs Of Emma Courtney And The Victim Of Prejudice, Sarah Ann Oliver
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
The thesis is an examination of Mary Hays's first and second novels, The Memoirs of Emma Courtney (1796) and The Victim of Prejudice (1799) in order to claim a reworking of political and gender constructions of women that underwrite rape narratives produced in the Long Eighteenth Century. To discuss ways in which Hays's novels challenge the assumptions and constructions of femininity disseminated in earlier rape texts I have selected examples of polemic and narratives written between the 1670s and the 1790s together with some of the contemporary Radical texts which exhibit similar concerns and views expressed in the writer's feminist …

Shared Habitats: The Moverwitness Paradigm, Eila Goldhahn
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This practice-led research thesis analyses and visualises central components of Authentic Movement, with particular reference to the work of Dr Janet Adler. By contextualising and comparing this improvisation method with modern, post-modern and contemporary movement practices the author describes the emergence of Authentic Movement and distinguishes it from other practices. A new and original viewpoint is adopted and the practice's aesthetic, visual and empathetic characteristics are explored in relationship to and through visual art. The author, a learned Authentic Movement practitioner, critiques, deconstructs and reframes the practice from a visual arts- and performance-based, phenomenological perspective renaming it 'the MoverWitness exchange'. …

William Andrews Nesfield [1794-1881] Artist And Landscape Gardener, Shirley Rose Evans
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
Contrary to past opinions William Andrews Nesfield's garden layouts were not solely designed to provide appropriate accompaniments to the Elizabethan and Jacobean revival architecture of his brother-in-law Anthony Salvin (1799-1881). Nor were they conceived chiefly to provide his wealthy patrons with a variation on the French seventeenth-century parterre-de-broderie. Undoubtedly, this device helped to forge a sympathetic bond between Nesfield and his patrons, for it had been a symbol of power and status in seventeenth-century France when it was associated with the upper echelons of French society. It therefore represented to the aristocracy and upper gentry of nineteenth-century Britain, during the …

The Challenge Of Interagency Information Sharing: A Systemic Analysis Of Two Sure Start Children's Centres, Susan Moira Richardson
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This study investigates a problem facing professionals working in public service agencies, in the current policy context of partnership working. This is the question of how to share personal service user information across agency boundaries, so that there is minimal risk of important information being ‘lost down the cracks' between agencies, while at the same time avoiding the risk of breaching confidentiality. This study aims to understand better the day to day difficulties faced by those grappling with this problem. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of this challenge by proposing a new model of information sharing behaviour and …
Avoiding Collapse: Resilience And Sustainable Development In Vulnerable Small Islands, Matthew Paul Bunce
Avoiding Collapse: Resilience And Sustainable Development In Vulnerable Small Islands, Matthew Paul Bunce
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
Small islands dependent on reef fisheries, farming and tourism are vulnerable to rising human and natural pressures and may target "sustainable" development. Marine Protected Areas (MPA) have a proven ability to meet ecological goals, such as restoring fisheries and preserving ecosystem function across scales. However, there is a comparative lack of scientific baseline data and social research which may help local MPA to overcome failures in achieving mixed conservation and development goals in populated coastal areas facing intense pressure. This fieldwork-based case study researched in French and Creole languages in the sub-tropical, mid-Oceanic island of Rodrigues (Mauritius, Indian Ocean) addresses …
Motivational Influences On Compliance With And Consequences Of Instructions To Suppress Stereotypes, Na Wyer
Motivational Influences On Compliance With And Consequences Of Instructions To Suppress Stereotypes, Na Wyer
School of Psychology
Two experiments investigated differences in compliance with instructions to suppress stereotypes as a function of prejudice-related motivations. In Experiment 1, only participants identified as high in motivation to control prejudice [Dunton, B. C., & Fazio, R. H. (1997). An individual difference measure of motivation to control prejudiced reactions. Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 23, 316–326] complied with suppression instructions. These participants experienced post-suppression rebound effects, but only if they were also high in prejudice. In Experiment 2, only participants identified as high in external motivation to respond without prejudice [Plant, E. A., & Devine, P. G. (1998). Internal and external …

Security Policy Enforcement In Application Environments Using Distributed Script-Based Control Structures, Klaus-Peter Fischer-Hellmann
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
Business processes involving several partners in different organisations impose demanding requirements on procedures for specification, execution and maintenance. A framework referred to as business process management (BPM) has evolved for this purpose over the last ten years. Other approaches, such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) or the concept of virtual organisations (VOs), assist in the definition of architectures and procedures for modelling and execution of so-called collaborative business processes (CBPs). Methods for the specification of business processes play a central role in this context, and, several standards have emerged for this purpose. Among these, Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL, …

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
The papers on which this thesis is based are the result of original research work undertaken in collaboration with healthcare researchers in the South West Peninsula. Modern healthcare research involves large scale multidisciplinary projects and the Statistician's role In these projects, from concept through design and execution to the production of published papers, is crucial. Funding bodies, and in particular the Medical Research Council (MRC), expect a Statistician to be part of the project team and the statistical input and expertise included plays a key role in determining whether or not projects are funded and are subsequently successful. The selection …
A Study Of Linear Error Correcting Codes, Cen Jung Tjhai
A Study Of Linear Error Correcting Codes, Cen Jung Tjhai
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
Since Shannon's ground-breaking work in 1948, there have been two main development streams of channel coding in approaching the limit of communication channels, namely classical coding theory which aims at designing codes with large minimum Hamming distance and probabilistic coding which places the emphasis on low complexity probabilistic decoding using long codes built from simple constituent codes. This work presents some further investigations in these two channel coding development streams. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes form a class of capacity-approaching codes with sparse parity-check matrix and low-complexity decoder Two novel methods of constructing algebraic binary LDPC codes are presented. These methods …

Impact Of Culture On Stock Market Development And Corporate Governance, Walaa Wahid Eldin Elkelish
Plymouth Business School Theses
This study takes a step forward to explore the dynamic relationship between cultural values and stock market development in the United Kingdom, during the period 1991- 2004. Cultural values are represented by the cultural model of Hofstede (1980) which consists of five dimensions, which are: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity and time horizon. Stock market developmenti s representedb y four indicators, which are: stock market activity, size, liquidity and concentration. Empirical results, using structural equation modelling (SEM), show that some cultural values have significant relationships with stock market development indicators. Power distance has a significant negative relationship with stock …

Port Competitiveness In North East Asia : An Integrated Fuzzy Approach To Expert Evaluations, Gi-Tae Yeo
Plymouth Business School Theses
Despite the fact that the Northeast Asia (NEA) region, which had four of the top five and 20 of the top 30 container ports in the world in 2003, can be regarded as holding a central position in liner shipping and the handling of container cargo volumes, very little research has been done into the evaluation of its port competitiveness (EPC). For this reason, the EPC in NEA can be regarded as a problematic and urgent issue to be solved, and worthy of academic attention. From this aspect, this research set out to attempt to address the above issue by …
