Passing Crisis And Emergency Risk Communications: The Effects Of Communication Channel, Information Type, And Repetition., Judy Edworthy, Elizabeth Hellier, Lex Newbold, Kirsteen Titchener

School of Psychology

Three experiments explore several factors which influence information transmission when warning messages are passed from person to person. In Experiment 1, messages were passed down chains of participants using five different modes of communication. Written communication channels resulted in more accurate message transmission than verbal. In addition, some elements of the message endured further down the chain than others. Experiment 2 largely replicated these effects and also demonstrated that simple repetition of a message eliminated differences between written and spoken communication. In a final field experiment, chains of participants passed information however they wanted to, with the proviso that half …

The Effects Of Pilates Based Core Stability Training In People With Ms, Esther Elizabeth Fox Jan 2015

The Effects Of Pilates Based Core Stability Training In People With Ms, Esther Elizabeth Fox

School of Health Professions Theses

Background: People with Multiple Sclerosis experience difficulties with balance and mobility. Pilates exercises are often used to address these difficulties. Design: This was a multi-centre, double blind, block randomised, controlled trial. Eligible participants were recruited from seven UK centres. Participants were randomly allocated to either: Pilates based core stability training (Pilates), Standardised Exercise (SE) or Relaxation (placebo). All received face-to-face training sessions over a 12 week period; together with a home exercise programme. Blinded assessments were taken before training, at the end of the 12 week programme and at 16 weeks (follow-up). The primary outcome measure was the 10metre timed …

Community Resilience And Land Degradation In Forest And Shrubland Socio-Ecological Systems: Evidence From Gorgoglione, Basilicata, Italy, Claire Kelly, Agostino Ferrara, Geoff A. Wilson, Francesco Ripullone, Angelo Nolè, Nichola Harmer, Luca Salvati

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Assessing the resilience of communities is assuming greater importance at a time of global economic upheaval, climatic and socio-demographic changes. The past 10–15 years have seen a significant increase in the number of studies addressing resilience issues at community level from a variety of perspectives,and although the resilience of communities in dealing with disturbance feature strongly in these studies, less work appears to have been undertaken at the interface between community resilience and land degradation. In addition, little attention has been paid to land degradation, desertification risk and community resilience at the forest–community interface, despite the fact that forest ecosystems …

Agriculture, Labor Intensive Growth, And Structural Change: East Asia, Southeast Asia, And Africa, Richard Grabowski Jan 2015

Agriculture, Labor Intensive Growth, And Structural Change: East Asia, Southeast Asia, And Africa, Richard Grabowski

Development Journal of the South

In this paper, it is argued that physically abundant labor is not necessarily cheap labor. The latter depends upon the cost of food staples. Given the non tradability of the latter, rapid growth without rapid agricultural productivity growth will make labor increasingly costly. This will make the transition to labor intensive manufacturing and the exportation of such products very difficult. More importantly, it results in a structural change process in which the economy skips manufacturing and instead shifts in to capital intensive services. The experiences of Taiwan, Indonesia, and Uganda are used to illustrate these ideas.


Elements That Integrate The World Vision Of The Otomí Tribe: The Trinitarian Within The Otomí Tribes, Luis Perez-Lugo Jan 2015

Elements That Integrate The World Vision Of The Otomí Tribe: The Trinitarian Within The Otomí Tribes, Luis Perez-Lugo

Community Research Education and Academic Retention Initiative

The pretext when approaching this subject is to present new elements that show the otomí world vision based in field data and the revision of what has been written. Mythology and the language itself contributed elements to demonstrate the otomíes are guided by a trinity notion which is present within their universe; it is a new way to approach the indigenous world (above all the otomí tribes) in a scientific manner. This work has the intention of presenting new elements of understanding the vision of the otomí world; the reflections are based on camp dates and specialists, who have written …
