Examining Constructions Of Perpetrators And Victims In Early Twentieth Century Canadian Newspaper Accounts Of Femicides, Katharine Kelly
Examining Constructions Of Perpetrators And Victims In Early Twentieth Century Canadian Newspaper Accounts Of Femicides, Katharine Kelly
SOLON Law, Crime and History (previously SOLON Crimes and Misdemeanours: Deviance and the Law in Historical Perspective)
This article examines how spousal femicides were framed in Ontario newspapers in the first decade of the twentieth century. Newspaper accounts served as a primary source of information, understandings, and perspectives on crime, criminality, and the law. Accounts of intimate killings presented the events as 'news worthy' and simultaneously sought to minimise challenges to patriarchal values in marriage. Media coverage employed an individualised model of crime and focused on perpetrators as non-normal (failed) or abnormal men. Intemperance, immigration status, and social class were used to 'other' perpetrators. Victim blaming was relatively uncommon except in cases of female infidelity.
Natural Fibre Reinforced Composite Materials, Aitor Hernandez Michelena
Natural Fibre Reinforced Composite Materials, Aitor Hernandez Michelena
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
Abstract Nowadays, due to the global warming and pollution issues, sustainable materials must be considered. Composites materials can offer excellent mechanical performance with low weight, hence saving fuel. However, most of the composites systems are based on petrochemicals, and natural materials may be a better option; for example, fibre reinforcements from plant stems (bast) and bio-based resins are becoming available commercially. One of the major inconveniences of the NFRP is the moisture absorption in marine environments. This problem is usually solved increasing the fibre-matrix bonding. Commercially available fibre systems are chemically treated in order to tackle this issue, but those …
Characterisation Of Porcine Cytomegalovirus And Development As A Vaccine Vector For Classical Swine Fever Virus, Thekla Mauch
Characterisation Of Porcine Cytomegalovirus And Development As A Vaccine Vector For Classical Swine Fever Virus, Thekla Mauch
School of Biomedical Sciences Theses
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly infectious viral disease found in domestic pigs and wild boar populations. Outbreaks have a large economic cost for the swine industry and cause significant morbidity and mortality in pigs. Only one compatible vaccine that allows the differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA), Suvaxyn® CSF Marker vaccine, is commercially available. However, due to e.g. trading issues caused by vaccination of animals this vaccine is not used prophylactically and is only used in emergency situations to prevent spread of CSFV to wider areas. An urgent need exists for development of a safe, effective, DIVA …
The Effect Of Ionising Radiation On Mussels, Emily Vernon
The Effect Of Ionising Radiation On Mussels, Emily Vernon
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Ionising radiations have undoubtedly played a vital role in modern society. There is however growing concern of their increasing presence in the environment whether by permitted or accidental release, along with other contaminants. While the effects of ionising radiation (IR) on human and mammalian models are well studied, the impacts on aquatic organisms, which play important roles for ecosystem sustainability are yet to be fully understood. This is particularly for chronic, low dose, environmentally relevant exposures, bearing in mind that many of the discharged radionuclides have long half-lives, to which biota are exposed. In this context a multi-biomarker, multi-species approach …
Behavioural And Ecophysiological Responses Of Marine Benthos To Ocean Acidification And Warming, Ee Zin Ong
Behavioural And Ecophysiological Responses Of Marine Benthos To Ocean Acidification And Warming, Ee Zin Ong
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations (CO2) are projected to rise from 400 ppm to 1000 ppm by the end of 21st century. The increase in atmospheric CO2 has been absorbed by the ocean resulting in a process called ocean acidification. Concurrently, the increase of atmospheric CO2 also intensifies the greenhouse effect, resulting in an increase of ocean surface temperature. The progressive modification of ocean environment is expected to affect marine ecosystems via changes in species behaviour, physiology and survival that will determine population, interaction within the community, with implications for biodiversity-mediated ecosystem functioning. Therefore, studying the combined effects of both …
A Two-Fold Study Of Equine Weaning Practices And Behaviours Displayed Following Mare Removal, Catherine Mcmeeking
A Two-Fold Study Of Equine Weaning Practices And Behaviours Displayed Following Mare Removal, Catherine Mcmeeking
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The behavioural effects on the foal and dam during weaning in horses are well documented and it is commonly agreed that both are likely to suffer from stress at this time. Many different weaning methods are employed worldwide, with no indication of the least stress inducing. This study has two aims. First, to document frequency of weaning method, type of breeder, foal age at the time of mare removal and reason for use of weaning method. Second, to compare behaviours following abrupt and gradual weaning methods. The first aim was addressed by a questionnaire distributed globally via social media and …

Barnacle Cover Modifies Foraging Behaviour Of The Intertidal Limpet Patella Vulgata, Giacomo Santini, Richard C. Thompson, Stuart R. Jenkins, Guido Chelazzi, Richard G. Hartnoll, Suzanne M. Kay, Stephen J. Hawkins
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
AbstractLimpets and barnacles are important components of intertidal assemblages worldwide. This study examines the effects of barnacles on the foraging behaviour of the limpet Patella vulgata, which is the main algal grazer in the North-west Atlantic. The behaviour of limpets on a vertical seawall on the Isle of Man (UK) was investigated using autonomous radio-telemetry, comparing their activity patterns on plots characterized by dense barnacle cover and plots from which the barnacles had been removed. Limpet behaviour was investigated at mid-shore level, but two different elevations were considered. This experiment revealed a significant effect of barnacle cover on the activity …

The Sensitivity Of Marginally Stratified Shelf Sea Fronts To Turbulent Mixing Processes, Marcus Zanacchi
The Sensitivity Of Marginally Stratified Shelf Sea Fronts To Turbulent Mixing Processes, Marcus Zanacchi
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Turbulent mixing plays an important role in controlling the vertical structure of temperature, salinity and density in shelf seas. It is crucial in controlling the seasonal stratification in temperate shelf seas, though our incomplete knowledge of the processes involved prevents an accurate representation in numerical shelf sea modelling. This study made use of both observational field work and numerical turbulence modelling to identify first- and second-order mixing mechanisms in weakly stratified waters in the Celtic Sea, U.K. Field work was conducted both in spring (May, 2012) and summer (August, 2012). During the 11-day field work in spring, an overall warming …

Home Range Impacts Of Cattle And Pony Grazing On A Lowland East Devon Pebblebed Heath, Philippa Ingle
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Home range impacts of cattle and pony grazing on a lowland East Devon Pebblebed Heath by Philippa Ingle Lowland heath is of ecological importance due to the rarity of the habitats and of the species supported. Bicton Common is an East Devon lowland Pebblebed heath comprised of Atlantic wet heath, dry heath and mire, of which the former two are both Annex I habitats. Both the wet heath and mire are in favourable recovery whereas, the dry heath is in unfavourable recovery partly due to the dominance of M. caerulea. The main aim of this study was to assess the …

Extracts of produced waters from five mature Norwegian Sea oil fields were examined as total organic extracts (TOEs) and after fractionation into operationally-defined 'polar' and 'apolar' fractions. The TOEs and fractions were examined by gas chromatography (GC), GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), two dimensional GC-MS (GC × GC-MS) and liquid chromatography with high-resolution spectrometry (LC-HRMS) techniques. Low molecular weight aromatics, phenols and other common petroleum-derived hydrocarbons were characterized and quantified in the TOEs and fractions. In addition, a range of more uncommon polar and apolar constituents, including those likely derived from production chemicals, such as trithiolane, imidazolines and quaternary amine compounds (so-called …
Bioturbation In Estuarine Sediments: Modelling Macrofauna-Mediated Oxygen Dynamics, Xiaoyu Fang
Bioturbation In Estuarine Sediments: Modelling Macrofauna-Mediated Oxygen Dynamics, Xiaoyu Fang
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The aim of this thesis was to provide a comprehensive examination of the roles of macrofauna in estuarine biogeochemistry by adopting a multidisciplinary field and laboratory-based approach and integrating species distribution modelling with biomass-dependent ecosystem function relationships. Eventually, an ecosystem management tool to provide insights into the ecological consequences of anthropogenic disturbance in estuaries was developed using the Western Scheldt as a model system. To establish a baseline understanding of the spatio-temporal patterns of macrobenthos (activities) and ecosystem functioning in the Scheldt estuary, a seasonal survey was carried out during four consecutive seasons in 2015 and 2016, sampling three habitats …
The Dietary Bioaccumulation And Detection Of Engineered Nanosilver In Fish, Nathaniel Clark
The Dietary Bioaccumulation And Detection Of Engineered Nanosilver In Fish, Nathaniel Clark
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Emerging contaminants, including engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), need to undergo environmental risk assessment, whereby they are tested for properties of persistence in the environment, toxicity or bioaccumulation. To date, little data exists for the bioaccumulation of ENMs in animals, particularly fish, with a focus on alternative methods to in vivo testing. Also, interpretation of data for hazard assessment is hampered by the lack of routine methods to detect the form of materials in the tissues following exposure. Therefore, there were three main aims to the thesis; the first was to determine the dietary accumulation of ENMs into fish, using a tiered …
Human Impacts On Oligotrophic Marine Ecosystems: Case Studies From Cyprus, Mediterranean Sea, Demetris Kletou
Human Impacts On Oligotrophic Marine Ecosystems: Case Studies From Cyprus, Mediterranean Sea, Demetris Kletou
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Highly oligotrophic marine waters cover about a third of the Earth’s surface and have diverse communities that are affected by multiple stressors, such as ocean acidification, warming, marine litter, pollution, overfishing. The low nutrient Mediterranean Sea has high biodiversity and endemism but is heavily impacted by these human pressures and a recent major influx of invasive alien species that compete, predate and infect indigenous species. Aquaculture effluents and eutrophication alter water quality and add pressure on coastal ecosystems that are already subject to habitat loss and degradation due to coastal developments. This PhD dissertation reviews human impacts on highly oligotrophic …
Assessing The Exposure And Behavioural Response Of Grey Seals (Halichoerus Grypus) To Shipping Noise, Leah Trigg
Assessing The Exposure And Behavioural Response Of Grey Seals (Halichoerus Grypus) To Shipping Noise, Leah Trigg
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Marine mammals use sound to drive vital life functions such as communication, foraging and navigation, but the underwater soundscape upon which they rely is changing. Growth in global trade and manufacturing has driven a dramatic increase in the number and size of ships in the commercial fleet. These ships generate chronic underwater noise which has been associated with a number of negative ecological effects such as auditory damage, changes in behaviour and stress. As a result, regulatory bodies have recognised underwater noise as a pollutant. However, there is still a lack of data relating to the noise levels experienced by …
Applying Long Temporal Scale Plankton Data To Marine Strategy Development Under Climate Change, Jacob Bedford
Applying Long Temporal Scale Plankton Data To Marine Strategy Development Under Climate Change, Jacob Bedford
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Assessing changes in the state of marine biodiversity is critical for underpinning sustainable marine management. As the cumulative effects of multiple anthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems are increasingly understood, and the importance of marine ecosystems in providing goods and services to society is increasingly recognised, marine management frameworks are transitioning towards an ecosystem-based approach, explicitly addressing biodiversity change. Under the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), biodiversity indicators are used to assess the state of marine ecosystems against defined targets. Plankton communities are a key component of these biodiversity assessments and indicators for both phytoplankton and zooplankton are used to …
Disease Ecology Of Two Emerging Amphibian Pathogens In Costa Rica, Felicity Jennifer Wynne
Disease Ecology Of Two Emerging Amphibian Pathogens In Costa Rica, Felicity Jennifer Wynne
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The emergence of infectious diseases is increasing globally, whilst biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate. The amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) has driven the extinction of more species than any other known pathogen. This loss was particularly severe among Neotropical amphibians, with several infamous extinctions from Costa Rica. Although chytrid has been attributed to all enigmatic population declines in Costa Rica, its presence has only been investigated from a few populations. Alongside chytrid, another pathogen, ranavirus (Ranavirus spp.), is considered a significant threat to amphibian populations. Very little is known about ranaviruses outside of temperate regions, but its …
Driven To Distraction? Behavioural Impacts Of Anthropogenic Noise On The European Hermit Crab Pagurus Bernhardus From Individual To Group Level, Svenja Tidau
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Human activities are altering the planet at an unprecedented scale and pace, ranging from effects on global systems such as climate and carbon cycles to localised but globally wide-spread exposure to anthropogenic pollution such as noise. Anthropogenic noise is an example of human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) which can mask, distract and disrupt natural stimuli and sensory-cognitive processes. Since HIREC can alter the sensory environment of animals, and how they detect and process information from their biotic and abiotic environment to make accurate decisions, this process has been termed sensory pollution. While growing evidence shows detrimental effects on across taxa, …
Development Of Autochthonous Probiotic Candidates For Tilapia Aquaculture, Rungtawan Yomla
Development Of Autochthonous Probiotic Candidates For Tilapia Aquaculture, Rungtawan Yomla
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
This programme of work sought to develop autochthonous probiotic solutions for tilapia aquaculture. Initial work began with the isolation of isolate 34 bacterial cultures from the tilapia intestine, which were tested for probiotic potential in vitro. Fifteen isolates displayed positive probiotic properties in in vitro assays. The selection of high potential probiotic candidates was based on multi-parameter properties using the Z−score method, which ranked isolates identified as Bacillus sp. CHP02 (Z score = 1.48), Bacillus sp. RP01 (1.14) and Bacillus sp. RP00 (1.09) as having the greatest potential. These isolates, along with Enterobacter sp. NP02 (0.50), were then assessed for …
Phaeovirus Infections In Kelp, Dean Andrew Mckeown
Phaeovirus Infections In Kelp, Dean Andrew Mckeown
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The latent dsDNA viruses of the genus Phaeovirus (family Phycodnaviridae, clade Nucleo-cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses; NCLDVs) employ genome integration in their brown algae hosts (class Phaeophyceae). The only phaeoviruses described in detail infected the order Ectocarpales, though Phaeovirus major capsid protein (MCP) occurs in 4 kelp (order Laminariales) species. Phaeoviruses are a major knowledge gap because brown algae are ecologically and economically important and have independently evolved complex multicellularity. This study aimed to investigate kelp Phaeovirus morphology, evolution, host range, distribution, host impacts, and genomics. Microscopy of Laminaria digitata gametophytes revealed particles and cell morphology typical of Phaeovirus infections. This …
Marine Invasive Species: Fluorescence Applications For Ballast Water Regulatory Compliance And Use Of Freshwater As A Biosecurity Tool For Biofouling, Maria Cecilia Trindade De Castro
Marine Invasive Species: Fluorescence Applications For Ballast Water Regulatory Compliance And Use Of Freshwater As A Biosecurity Tool For Biofouling, Maria Cecilia Trindade De Castro
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
The present thesis addresses the role of shipping as an unintentional and very efficient pathway for spreading aquatic non-native species around the globe, through two major vectors: ballast water and biofouling. The challenge with ballast water is that a myriad of organisms are transported across natural barriers before dispersal, transcending biogeographic regions and this wholesale movement of marine life contributes to the spread of diseases and to the homogenization of coastal habitats. The United Nations nominated the issue as one of the four greatest threats to the oceans, causing extremely severe environmental, economic and public health impacts. This research is …
Microplastic Abundance, Distribution And Composition In The Atlantic And Arctic Oceans, La Daana Kanhai
Microplastic Abundance, Distribution And Composition In The Atlantic And Arctic Oceans, La Daana Kanhai
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Microplastics are ubiquitous, persistent particles that are capable of posing a threat to organisms that inhabit or depend upon marine ecosystems. Understanding the origin, transport pathways and fate of these particles in the ocean is fundamentally important when evaluating the risks associated with such particles to marine organisms. In the Atlantic Ocean, the Canary and Benguela Upwelling Ecosystems are regions of high primary productivity which sustain large commercial fisheries. The influence of oceanic phenomena such as upwellings on microplastic abundance, distribution and composition remains unknown. Any microplastics that are present within such upwelling ecosystems can potentially interact with the associated …
The Sources And Fate Of Plastic Entering The Marine Environment, Imogen Napper
The Sources And Fate Of Plastic Entering The Marine Environment, Imogen Napper
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Plastics can come in many forms and bring a wide range of societal benefits in healthcare, agriculture, transport, construction and packaging. However, plastic is a large proportion of marine litter and an internationally recognised pollutant. Marine litter results from the indiscriminate disposal of waste items that are either directly or indirectly transferred into aquatic environments. This debris can cause harmful effects for wildlife, commercial fisheries, maritime industries, tourism and human well-being (Chapter 1). Over the past decade, increased scientific interest has produced an expanding knowledge base for plastic contamination in the environment. However, fundamental questions and issues remain unresolved. This …

Abstract Background Variability in standard-of-care classifications precludes accurate predictions of early tumor recurrence for individual patients with meningioma, limiting the appropriate selection of patients who would benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy to delay recurrence. We aimed to develop an individualized prediction model of early recurrence risk combining clinical and molecular factors in meningioma. Methods DNA methylation profiles of clinically annotated tumor samples across multiple institutions were used to develop a methylome model of 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). Subsequently, a 5-year meningioma recurrence score was generated using a nomogram that integrated the methylome model with established prognostic clinical factors. Performance of both …

Gravel Beach Cross- And Alongshore Response To An Extreme Event: Beach Length And Headland Proximity Controls, Rj Mccarroll, G Masselink, M Wiggins, Tim Scott, O Billson, D Conley
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Gravel beach morphologic change is a function of combined cross- and alongshore transport. At present, numerical methods deal with these processes separately. We present observations from Start Bay, UK, of extreme storm response and recovery, across five gravel subembayments (lengths 250 m to 5 km). An easterly storm sequence in Feb-Mar 2018 forced massive alongshore transport (rotation and headland bypassing) and cross-shore transport including erosion of the barrier, destruction of barrier-crest roads, and distribution of material offshore. We demonstrate that profile response is a function of embayment length and headland proximity, such that: (i) pocket embayments (~250 m) experience a …
