Preclinical stroke research faces a critical translational gap, with animal studies failing to reliably predict clinical efficacy. To address this, the field is moving toward rigorous, multicenter preclinical randomized controlled trials (mpRCTs) that mimic phase 3 clinical trials in several key components. This collective statement, derived from experts involved in mpRCTs, outlines considerations for designing and executing such trials. mpRCTs offer advantages such as increased sample sizes, robust statistical design, incorporation of heterogeneity, and standardized protocols, but they face challenges in finding the right balance between standardization and heterogeneity, appropriate stroke model selection, and outcome measures, as well as the …

Journal of Queer and Trans Studies in Education
In recent decades, colleges have broadly supported LGBTQ+ students. Now, institutions have shuttered LGBTQ+ initiatives in response to political pressures, with little consideration for the effects on students. This study answers the question, what current policy factors do LGBTQ+ college students describe as affecting their well-being, and in what ways? We analyzed 426 responses from a multi-institution study of LGBTQ+ students. By and large, students feel anxious and fearful as they navigate the current climate. Our analysis illustrated numerous factors, from the President and his administration to states and general emboldened violence, and the real and potential consequences of those …

The Impact Of Service Learning On Social Capital And Community Engagement, Jason R. Ross
The Impact Of Service Learning On Social Capital And Community Engagement, Jason R. Ross
Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning
Social capital is important for individual and societal advancement. For individuals, social capital helps one advance in the organizational hierarchy but also flows to communities as these individuals are more likely to volunteer for non-profit organizations and pool their resources to advance societal causes. This paper argues that one overlooked mechanism for generating social capital is through service learning. Service learning benefits students not only academically, but professionally as it helps students connect with voluntary organizations, often composed of individuals of means. Students then integrate into the social networks of these influential members and potentially benefit from the resources they …
Retrieval Practice And Student-Centered Learning: Instructional Strategies For Engaging University Classrooms, Carla Williams, Angela Danley
Retrieval Practice And Student-Centered Learning: Instructional Strategies For Engaging University Classrooms, Carla Williams, Angela Danley
Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning
This paper examines how retrieval practice and student-centered learning—core principles of the Science of Learning—can transform university instruction. Grounded in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, the manuscript describes instructional strategies implemented in a redesigned teacher preparation course, including exit tickets, Frayer models, literature circles, choice boards, and collaborative teams. Each strategy operationalizes key learning mechanisms such as retrieval, feedback, reflection, and cognitive load reduction, shifting cognitive effort from instructor to learner. The findings highlight how retrieval-based, student-centered routines enhance engagement, retention, and transfer, offering adaptable approaches for faculty across higher education disciplines.
The Persistent Shock Of The Old: Making The Case For The Responsive Development Of Artwork Deploying Historical Museological Display Techniques., Duncan Cameron
The Persistent Shock Of The Old: Making The Case For The Responsive Development Of Artwork Deploying Historical Museological Display Techniques., Duncan Cameron
School of Art, Design and Architecture Theses
My sculpture work and thesis investigate the potential of historical museological practices—particularly Victorian and Edwardian display technologies—in contemporary art-making and sculptural practice. I ask three central questions: how can the collection and display of natural history materials be ethically defended in the present day; how might traditional exhibition orthodoxies be reconfigured to privilege the prosaic, domestic, and handmade over the novel and precious; and what role does the idiosyncratic and beautiful play in narrating material stories within an ethical, Anthropocene-aware framework?The study employs a practice-led methodology combining iterative art-making, critical reflection, and active fieldwork. Working from a studio in Somerset, …

The Influence Of Historical Technological Constraints On Contemporary Music Practice, Clive Mead
School of Art, Design and Architecture Theses
This practice-based research project explores the creative implications of working within historically constrained music production environments. By composing and producing original music using only emulated instruments, effects, and recording technologies from four key eras—1955, 1965, 1975, and 1985—the study examines how technological limitations affect contemporary compositional practice. The project is situated at the intersection of music production, creative practice research, and is conducted by a composer-producer with extensive experience across diverse musical genres.The research addresses three central questions: What occurs when a proficient modern producer is restricted to using tools from earlier periods of recorded music history? In what ways …
Feminism, Domestic Abuse And The Singer-Songwriter, Kathryn Ferguson
Feminism, Domestic Abuse And The Singer-Songwriter, Kathryn Ferguson
School of Art, Design and Architecture Theses
This project explores how feminism and domestic abuse can be articulatedthrough songwriting. Research in music therapy, sociology and popular musicincreasingly speaks to the value of songwriting as a tool for personal andcommunity empowerment, but there is space to actively use songwriting toexplore feminist issues independently of the traditional commercial context ofpopular music. Existing feminist music has been deemed as at its mostsuccessful when it is linked clearly to social change in our communities(Greene, 2017, p.8). Modern popular feminist songwriting has been criticised fornot going far enough in deconstructing systemic patterns of patriarchy (Tong,2024, p.9). Considering this, engaging with academic research …
Translating Human Emotion Into Music: A Multimodal Machine-Learning Framework Linking Movement, Facial Expression, And Real-Time Generative Composition, Martin Mc Corry
Translating Human Emotion Into Music: A Multimodal Machine-Learning Framework Linking Movement, Facial Expression, And Real-Time Generative Composition, Martin Mc Corry
School of Art, Design and Architecture Theses
This thesis investigates whether embodied human expression—captured through facial and full-body motion—can be translated into musically coherent behaviour using time-series machine learning and real-time generative systems. The project develops and evaluates a multimodal framework that links participant-specific emotion inference to an interpretable, artist-configurable generative music system.Across two sensing modalities, personalised BiLSTM-based models achieved ~99%window-level validation accuracy within participants under a strict leak-free protocol, with no evidence of overfitting. These models were deployed within a low-latency real-time inference system. The research introduces a structured translation layer comprising a consensus mapping matrix and a tiered control architecture, mediating between probabilistic inference and …

Attribution Theory In Occupational Therapy Clinical Education: A Scoping Review, Julia Shin, Anna Domina, Ashley Fecht, Lisa Bagby, Raigan Borsh
Attribution Theory In Occupational Therapy Clinical Education: A Scoping Review, Julia Shin, Anna Domina, Ashley Fecht, Lisa Bagby, Raigan Borsh
Journal of Occupational Therapy Education
Intrapersonal and interpersonal skills are essential for occupational therapy students’ professional development and fieldwork success. Despite their importance, these competencies are often ambiguously defined, inconsistently assessed, and underemphasized in curricula. Attribution theory, a well-established framework from social psychology, provides a valuable lens for examining how students’ causal attributions influence their motivation, behavior, and professional growth. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the application of attribution theory in health professions education by characterizing attribution-focused interventions, assessments, and student outcomes. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) five-stage framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we conducted systematic searches across Academic Premier, CINAHL, ERIC, OTSeeker, and PubMed …
