Family-Clinician Communication Within Critical Care Settings: Unraveling The Complex And Valuing The Hidden, Joseph C. Manning, Jos M. Latour
School of Nursing and Midwifery
Internationally, advances in medicine and technology have led to a growing repertoire of interventions that can save or prolong lives of critically ill infants and children. Key developments include: resuscitation practices; continuous monitoring methods; ventilation devices and strategies; and artificial organs [1]. Interventions have also been developed to support parents and enhance communication between families and pediatric critical care professionals. In neonatology the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) has proven to be beneficial in supporting both infants and parents [2, 3]. A range of communication strategies have been developed and tested, such as audio-recording parent—physician consultations, and …

What Future For The Global Aid For Trade Initiative? Towards An Assessment Of Its Achievements And Limitations, William Hynes, Patrick Holden
What Future For The Global Aid For Trade Initiative? Towards An Assessment Of Its Achievements And Limitations, William Hynes, Patrick Holden
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
As with any form of contemporary global governance, the impact of the global Aid for Trade Initiative (2006) has been mixed. However, to dismiss it as a failure would be premature. The co‐ordination system established was based on best‐practice techniques of governance in a diverse non‐hierarchical environment, such as the international development community. This form of co‐operation cannot overcome global economic and political asymmetries, but it can be effective in several respects. In particular, the Initiative led to increased funding for AfT and kick‐started a range of initiatives and technical advances; while the monitoring process has evolved significantly to give …

Mass-Participation Architecture: Social Media And The Decentralisation Of Architectural Agency As A Commercial Imperative, Alexander Lorimer
Mass-Participation Architecture: Social Media And The Decentralisation Of Architectural Agency As A Commercial Imperative, Alexander Lorimer
School of Art, Design and Architecture Theses
A key problem in the field of architecture and urban planning since the 1960s has been the marginal role played by the general public in directly shaping significant aspects of the built environment. This thesis draws on theories around participatory planning, and in particular, the seminal 1969 publication ‘Non-plan: An Experiment in Freedom’. Non-plan suggested the potential of digital technology to facilitate self-organising public participation in architectural design and urban planning, while also taking inspiration from consumer- responsive activities across commercial disciplines. Now, half a century later, advancing web-technologies are beginning to facilitate mass-participatory design as a commercial imperative, and …
Community Resilience, Land Degradation And Endogenous Lock-In Effects: Evidence From The Alento Region, Campania, Italy, Geoff Wilson, Giovanni Quaranta, Claire Kelly, Rosanna Salvia, N Harmer
Community Resilience, Land Degradation And Endogenous Lock-In Effects: Evidence From The Alento Region, Campania, Italy, Geoff Wilson, Giovanni Quaranta, Claire Kelly, Rosanna Salvia, N Harmer
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This study analyses social, economic and political ‘lock-ins’ for understanding community resilience and land degradation. The study focuses on lock-ins from within communities, using four case study communities in Italy affected by land degradation. The analysis highlights the complex interrelationships between various lock-ins, and suggests that the communities are on pathways of declining resilience that may lead to increasing difficulties in addressing land degradation issues in future.

Image Or To Image?, G Corino
Image Or To Image?, G Corino
School of Art, Design and Architecture
The proliferation of images towards an iconic communication in the hypermediacy of social media, of locative media, of Internet of Things (IoT) on one side and the visualization of real-time data, the deep learning algorithm on the other, question the essence of how reality is perceived, created and the nature and role of images itself. The common understanding of what constitutes an image is related to the representation of things and people. In the context of instant messaging, social media and Big Data, distributed and networked IoT, this seems not to be the case anymore. IoT extends the idea of …

Baghdad’S Thirdspace: Between Liminality, Anti-Structures And Territorial Mappings, Sana Murrani
Baghdad’S Thirdspace: Between Liminality, Anti-Structures And Territorial Mappings, Sana Murrani
School of Art, Design and Architecture
Wedged in-between the dense urban grain of Baghdad, blast walls of t-shaped concrete have littered the streets and neighbourhoods since 2003, after the US led invasion. The idiosyncrasy of these walls lies in their exaggerated spatial liminality. They appear, change location and disappear overnight, and on a daily basis, leaving Iraqis to navigate through labyrinths of in-between spaces. This article critically reveals the new social and power structures that have emerged in the context of the city in response to the condition resulting from this unique urban intervention. This uncanny spatial and social condition of permanent liminality will be analysed …
Show And Tell: Writing The Academic Argument Within The Field Of Visual Communication, Sm Black
Show And Tell: Writing The Academic Argument Within The Field Of Visual Communication, Sm Black
School of Art, Design and Architecture
Writing is an intrinsic part of the thinking process, but is unfairly foregrounded as the main mechanism for submitting academic research in the visual arts. The process of practice-led research is an integration of writing-thinking and making-thinking, as written and visual sources go in and both written and practical thinking processes grapple with them. The argument arising from this process is reflected in both artwork produced and the writing that articulates the criteria by which it is to be judged, yet the written thesis is looked to as the les sharp but more plausible location of the argument (to paraphrase …
The Determinants Of Efficiency, Profitability And Stability In The Banking Sector: A Comparative Study Of Islamic, Conventional And Socially Responsible Banks, Majed Alharthi
Plymouth Business School Theses
This study aims to investigate the determinants of efficiency, profitability and stability in the banking sector across the world over the period 2005-2012. In this study, efficiency is measured using data envelopment analysis (DEA), which is divided into technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE), and scale efficiency (SE). The profitability is represented by return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and net interest margin (NIM). Furthermore, the z-score and capital ratios are the main indicators for stability.

The Role Of Sustainability In Enhancing Place Performance Through An Identity-Based Approach To Place Branding, Hanne Knight
The Role Of Sustainability In Enhancing Place Performance Through An Identity-Based Approach To Place Branding, Hanne Knight
Plymouth Business School Theses
Preventing the environmental impacts of economic growth is an important goal in today’s marketplace. This concern for a sustainable future incentivises marketing based around sustainability. The food and beverage industry had its fair share of criticism as its production uses more natural resources than most industries. One industry that has been ahead of other food processors in adopting environmental practices is the wine industry. The close relationship between wine and places is undisputable and so strong that people frequently visit places of wine production in the form of wine tourism contributing significantly to regional economies. For wine to be associated …
Diffusion Challenges For Innovation In Technology-Intensive Industries, Juergen Steinheber
Diffusion Challenges For Innovation In Technology-Intensive Industries, Juergen Steinheber
Plymouth Business School Theses
Many innovations fail on the market. Non-adoption and slow diffusion represent a high risk for companies in technology-intensive industries when looking to innovate, develop, market and launch a new technology. Its diffusion in the market is a major challenge for marketing. The consequence of a failed market introduction can be financial and reputational loss. Diffusion of innovation research shows a short-coming of researching barriers and challenges which prevent new technologies from being successful. This research sheds some light in the diversity, importance and existence of barriers for the diffusion of innovation. The originality of this investigation is a mixed-methods approach …
Development Of A Multi-Dimensional Matrix For Supply Chain Management, Safaa Sindi
Development Of A Multi-Dimensional Matrix For Supply Chain Management, Safaa Sindi
Plymouth Business School Theses
With the rise of globalisation, more of the world’s cargo depends on sea transportation, spanning countries and continents, increasing the complexity of Supply Chain (SC) operations. Multinational companies and SMEs have faced various challenges adapting to the changing environment. This research explores these complexities and aims to identify the most suitable SC and logistics strategy that companies can incorporate into their business framework. In achieving this, a Multi-Dimensional Matrix (MDM) is developed, firstly by analysing the development of SC and logistics strategies throughout time and dividing them into seven eras. The five earliest eras describe the emergence and development of …
The Role Of Oil In Economic Development -The Case Of Libya (1970-2010)., Ali Hassan Elwerfelli
The Role Of Oil In Economic Development -The Case Of Libya (1970-2010)., Ali Hassan Elwerfelli
Plymouth Business School Theses
Abstract The objectives of this thesis are to: (1) examine if the resource curse exists in the context of Libya; (2) assess the role of institutions in avoiding or minimising the resource curse, and; (3) evaluate institutional and economic reforms required, and the best options to diversify the economy from oil, hence avoid the resource curse in Libya. To achieve these, three approaches are applied, (i) a three country comparative analysis; (ii) Libya country-level time-series analysis, and; (iii) institutional descriptive analysis. This thesis uses time-series data and annual datasets covering 1970-2010. Johansen’s co-integration is used to establish the long-run equilibrium …

Arab Management Practices From A Trust Perspective - The Case Of International Companies In Morocco, Imane El Hakimi
Arab Management Practices From A Trust Perspective - The Case Of International Companies In Morocco, Imane El Hakimi
Plymouth Business School Theses
This research contributes to our understanding of trust in the international business environment, exploring the development of trust, and the influence of culture, structures and hierarchies, and international business communications. The focus is on the management of employees working in foreign-owned, international businesses operating in Morocco. With few notable and very valuable exceptions, there has been very little research exploring the Arab approach to management and even fewer pieces of research focus on the development of trust in this context. A qualitative research approach was employed, as so little is understood about the context and the phenomenon. A total of …

Plymouth Business School Theses
It has been recognised that the oil sector in developing countries is facing challenges from a dynamic environment characterised by rapid technological change and increased demand. As innovation becomes critical to the survival of organisations, organisational context including organisational culture (OC), structure (OS) and information technology (IT) has been found to have an important influence on innovation, leading to increase social relationships among employees and flow knowledge within organisation through face to face employees interaction and information system. Social capital and knowledge sharing are recognised as the most significant resources for competitive advantage and the key to enhancing innovation. It …
A Framework For B2c And B2b E-Commerce Ethics And Its Effect On Customer Satisfaction: A Comparison Study Between The Uk And Egypt, Gomaa Agag
Plymouth Business School Theses
Internet is fundamentally transforming the nature of the relationship that businesses have with consumers and the public. While e-commerce has witnessed extensive growth in recent years, consumers concerns regarding ethical issues surrounding online shopping also continue to increase. With increasing acceptance of the internet as a source for retail, ethical issues concerning internet usage have prompted serious concerns to consumers and created new challenges for practitioners. These growing concerns about safety and ethical behavior in online retailing can harm and restrain internet retail growth and deter consumers from online activities.

How External And Mediating Factors Affect Consumer Purchasing Behaviour In Online Luxury Shopping, Hawazen Alamoudi
How External And Mediating Factors Affect Consumer Purchasing Behaviour In Online Luxury Shopping, Hawazen Alamoudi
Plymouth Business School Theses
Recently, many studies have detailed how consumer perceptions and experiences affect attitudes and behaviours towards web service quality and e-satisfaction. Controversy arises when it comes to luxury brands. Luxury brands associate themselves with the concept of exclusivity and they position themselves in the market as such. But in online placement, how do they remain exclusive when information is accessible to everyone? Consumers of luxury products and services have varying opinions on the subject. Not all consumers are susceptible to online marketing and retailing. The perception of consumers is highly relevant when assigning the term ‘luxury’ to a brand. Therefore, a …

An Econometric Analysis Of Oil/Non-Oil Sectors And Economic Growth In The Gcc: Evidence From Saudi Arabia And The Uae, Ahmed Ali S Alodadi
Plymouth Business School Theses
As a depletable resource oil is a useful source of economic growth, but may not be relied upon for long-term sustainable development. Diversification from oil is needed to achieve this. This research applies three models to examine the most important determinants of oil and non-oil sector economic growth in two of the largest economies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), namely Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The empirical analysis applies the Johansen approach and ECM to access the relationship between all variables, both in the long and short-term. Given the governments’ determination to reduce dependence on oil income, this study …
