Baghdad’S Thirdspace: Between Liminality, Anti-Structures And Territorial Mappings, Sana Murrani Jan 2016

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 …

School of Health Professions

AIRWAYS-2 is an NIHR-funded study to determine the best initial approach to advanced airway management during out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Four NHS ambulance trusts are taking part in AIRWAYS-2: East Midlands, South Western, Yorkshire and East of England. One of the key challenges has been the need to recruit approximately 1300 study paramedics for the trial.The three main challenges in engaging and recruiting paramedics to participate in AIRWAYS-2 have been:▸ Concerns relating to the potential results of the trial and what this will mean for the continuation of intubation for paramedics▸ Concerns relating to the restriction on paramedic …

Impact Case Studies Submitted To Ref 2014: The Hidden Impact Of Nursing Research, Daniel Kelly, Bridie Kent, Ann Mcmahon, Julie Taylor, Michael Traynor

School of Nursing and Midwifery

The UK’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 rated the research from 154 universities, and the impact of research was evaluated in 6975 impact case studies. Nursing was returned within unit of assessment (UoA) 3, which also included Dentistry, Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, although nursing research was also submitted within other UoAs. The study aim was to collate and categorise available REF impact case studies involving nursing researchers or on topics of relevance to nursing. Using nurs* as a search term, 469 case study entries were retrieved from the REF database and placed into three categories determined by the level …

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 Jan 2016

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.

The Grammar Of Glamour Part 2: Part Of Portfolio The Grammar Of Glamour, I Rae Jan 2016

The Grammar Of Glamour Part 2: Part Of Portfolio The Grammar Of Glamour, I Rae

School of Art, Design and Architecture

The Grammar of Glamour; Part 2 explores the business of surface appearances through the use of imagery within independent businesses concerned with the manufacture of glamour. The intention is to ask how the spell of glamour can be broken. And at the same time how the power of material objects can transform the identity and status of those who own them. We cannot now begin to imagine what non-photographic glamour might be like, but we can ask what it represents within an economic, political, even philosophical, system. I want to look at hair salon interiors and specifically to the use …

Living Together In Student Accommodation: Performances, Boundaries And Homemaking, Mark Holton Jan 2016

Living Together In Student Accommodation: Performances, Boundaries And Homemaking, Mark Holton

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Recent discussions of the geographies of students have drawn attention to the trajectories of UK students electing to leave home for university. While such debates recognise these important mobilities, little has been discussed as to how students interact within their term‐time accommodation. Through a qualitative study of the living arrangements of UK students, this paper will demonstrate that much can be drawn from focusing on the micro‐geographies of non‐local students within their term‐time homes. Student accommodation is more than simply somewhere to live. Student homes are intensely dynamic places, perhaps more so than family homes as they contain multiple, disconnected …


The German Version Of The Humor Styles Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties And Overlap With Other Styles Of Humor., Willibald Ruch, Sonja Heintz Jan 2016

The German Version Of The Humor Styles Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties And Overlap With Other Styles Of Humor., Willibald Ruch, Sonja Heintz

School of Psychology

The Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ; Martin et al., 2003) is one of the most frequently used questionnaires in humor research and has been adapted to several languages. The HSQ measures four humor styles (affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating), which should be adaptive or potentially maladaptive to psychosocial well-being. The present study analyzes the internal consistency, factorial validity, and factorial invariance of the HSQ on the basis of several German-speaking samples combined (total N = 1,101). Separate analyses were conducted for gender (male/female), age groups (16-24, 25-35, >36 years old), and countries (Germany/Switzerland). Internal consistencies were good for the overall sample …

Peninsula Medical School

Introduction: The variety of organisations providing National Health Service (NHS)-funded services in England is growing. Besides NHS hospitals and general practitioners (GPs), they include corporations, social enterprises, voluntary organisations and others. The degree to which these organisational types vary, however, in the ways they manage and provide services and in the outcomes for service quality, patient experience and innovation, remains unclear. This research will help those who commission NHS services select among the different types of organisation for different tasks. Research questions: The main research questions are how organisationally diverse NHS-funded service providers vary in their responsiveness to patient choice, …

Chromosomal copy-number variations (CNVs) are a class of genetic variants highly implicated in the aetiology of neurodevelopmental disorders, including intellectual disabilities (ID), schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Yet the majority of adults with idiopathic ID presenting to psychiatric services have not been tested for CNVs. We undertook genome-wide chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) of 202 adults with idiopathic ID recruited from community and in-patient ID psychiatry services across England. CNV pathogenicity was assessed using standard clinical diagnostic methods and participants underwent comprehensive medical and psychiatric phenotyping. We found an 11% yield of likely pathogenic CNVs (22/202). CNVs at recurrent loci, …
