The effects of marketisation on pedagogic practice in the HE in FE classroom, and ways to create a positive change within that environment.

The competitive market which FE finds itself has led to a more corporate form of management which results in the need to focus on the performativity of the teachers. This often takes the form of monitoring and accountability measures to ensure that targets are met, which are generally concentrated towards student attainment rather than the grades that they achieve. However, the findings of this study suggests that performativity measures applied to the FE sector can have an adverse effect on ..

Effects of environmental contaminants on gene expression, DNA methylation and gut microbiota in Buff-tailed Bumble bee - Bombus terrestris

Bee populations are increasingly at risk. In this thesis, I explore various mechanisms throughwhich environmental contaminants, namely imidacloprid and black carbon, can affect bumblebee epigenetics, behaviour and gutmicrobiota.I found imidacloprid has numerous epigenetic effects on Bombus terrestris non reproductiveworkers. I analysed three whole methylome (BS-seq) libraries and seven RNA-seq libraries ofthe brains of imidacloprid exposed workers and three BS-seq libraries and nine..

Cardiorespiratory and muscle molecular responses to exercise training in advanced age and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

INTRODUCTION: Maintenance of cardiorespiratory fitness is important for health in advanced age and in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aerobic training increases peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2PEAK) in health. Quadriceps weakness is common in COPD. Non-volitional neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may improve muscle mass and strength as an alternative or adjunct to voluntary resistance exercise (RE). This thesis examines the impact of aerobic exercise training and withdrawal on..

Music covers as vehicles of nostalgia: Exploring fans’ recollections and yearning in the UK indie pop music scene

The purpose of this research is to investigate how long-standing members of the UK indie pop music scene reflect on their experiences of music and make sense of the scene. Twelve in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with fourteen indie pop fans, supported by two years of immersion in the scene so I could familiarise myself with the music, practices and community surrounding indie pop. Participants were asked to bring to the interview examples of meaningful single/EP/album cover..

Novel zebrafish models for autism spectrum disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a group of complex neurodevelopmentdisorders influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors. ASD is characterizedby repetitive and stereotyped behaviour together with deficits in social communicationand interaction. The lack of knowledge regarding the underlying genetics andneurobiology of this disorder has hindered the discovery of novel drugs. The aim of thisproject is to investigate the function of two ASD candidate genes, reelin (..

Predicting the Past of Dried Blood Spots: Time Since Deposition and Toxicology

Blood is among the most frequently encountered evidence types at crime scenes and establishing the time since deposition (TSD) of bloodstains can be critical in certain cases. A method to establish the TSD of bloodstains is not routinely applied yet, because of because of age estimation inaccuracies caused by environmental conditions, influence of the substrate, inter-person variation and sample quantity. A bottom-up proteomics approach in combination with nano-liquid chromatography hyphenate..

Engaging object visitor encounters at the museum: a phenomenological approach

The focus of this PhD is engagement. In museum studies literature, there is a problematic absence of substantive analysis of immediate visitor responses to objects. To address this gap, I propose the investigation of object visitor encounters using a particular phenomenological approach. Centred on semi-structured interviews undertaken in a museum, the thesis: 1) explores and develops the consideration of engaging object encounters from a phenomenological, and specifically a Heideggerian, sta..

Modelling, Measurement and Interpretation of Space Charge Accumulation in Polyethylene Insulation for High Voltage DC Applications

The formation of space charge inside insulating materials causes non-uniformity of the internal electric field leading to overstress of the insulation material and reduced lifetime. The pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method is an important tool to determine space charge distributions in insulating materials. This work proposes a novel approach for the interpretation of raw PEA data that offers a more robust and objective method for the determination of space charge and electric field profiles ..

PfCLK3 as a Therapeutic Antimalarial Drug Target

Artemisinin resistance, the current frontline antimalarial, isthreatening to significantly increase the global incidence ofmalaria. Hence, novel targets for development of next generationantimalarials is urgently required. Here I focus on the essentialmalaria protein kinase PfCLK3, involved in RNA processing, toinvestigate if it is a suitable pharmacological target for malariatreatment. The molecule TCMDC-135051, identified from a screenat GlaxoSmithKline, was used as a probe in..

Irrational Happiness Beliefs: Conceptualization, Measurement and its Relationship with Well-being, Personality, Coping Strategies, and Arousal

This thesis proposes a new psychological concept, irrational happiness beliefs, by developing a measure for irrational happiness beliefs and testing the usefulness of this measure within wider psychology. To this end, seven studies were conducted using cross-section, longitudinal, and experimental designs. A total of 1,305 participants – including students and community samples – completed measures of irrational happiness beliefs, valuing happiness, well-being, personality and coping. Study 1..

Essays on Financial Markets Theory

This thesis examines three different, self-contained topics in Financial Markets Theory.In the fi rst chapter, we present a model of fi nancial intermediation, in whichmisperception of small probability events determines the allocation of systematicrisk in an economy. Particularly, we analyse an economy where households caninvest directly in projects or indirectly via bank deposits. We show that, whenhouseholds overweight the probability of an unlikely bad state, they prefer to inve..

Critical thinking and critical being; a study of international ITE students’ interpretations of criticality

This qualitative, phenomenological study examines understanding, development of and engagement with criticality for ten student-teachers on an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programme to qualify to teach in the Post-Compulsory Education (PCE) sector. Throughout the ITE programme, analysis and evaluation of pedagogy is essential as the student-teachers develop into critically reflective teachers able to evaluate their pedagogical choices in specific contexts. The student-teachers selected for..

Feeding Supermassive Black Holes through collisional cascades

The processes driving gas accretion on to supermassive black holes (SMBHs) arestill poorly understood. Angular momentum conservation prevents gas within 10 pc of the black hole from reaching radii 10􀀀3 pc where viscous accretionbecomes efficient.In this thesis I present simulations of the collapse of a clumpy shell of sweptupisothermal gas, which is assumed to have formed as a result of feedback froma previous episode of AGN activity. The gas falls towards the SMBH formingcl..

The Circulation of the Insane: The Pauper Lunatic Experience of the Garlands Asylum, 1862-1913

Within the vast array of literature concerning the county lunatic asylums of the late nineteenth-century, historians have tended to focus on the larger, urban asylums. This thesis presents the experience of pauper lunatic patients at the previously un-researched Garlands Asylum. Using the large repository of records, the thesis focuses on the county institution constructed to jointly serve the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. Centring on the patient experience, detailed cross-referenci..

N/OFQ and the Granulocyte

Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome associated with the deaths of 44,000 people in the UK per year. Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and its receptor (NOP) have demonstrated associations with sepsis and cells of the immune system. This thesis describes studies examining the expression of mRNA transcripts for the NOP receptor and the N/OFQ precursor ppNOC. It further describes the development of a novel live-imaging assay for the study of N/OFQ release from single human granulocytes in vitro. ..

Reshaping Dinosaurs: The Popularisation of Palaeontology in Anglo-American Culture, 1877–1921

During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, a wealth of discoveries – most of whichwere made in the United States – transformed how palaeontologists and the wider publicviewed dinosaurs. By the early decades of the twentieth century, ‘dinosaur’ had changedfrom an obscure technical term to a household word and creatures like Brontosauruswere iconic objects of popular culture. Whereas previous studies of palaeontology in thisperiod have focused largely on American museums, this..

Arab American Women's Poetry of Diaspora, War, and Intimacy

Despite the fact that Arab American writers have been contributing to the literary scenes in the United States of America since the beginning of the twentieth century, it is only in the last four decades that academic and literary interests in the exploration of Arab American literature, as a branch of ethnic literature, has been emerging in this country. In many cases, whenever research in Arab American literature is available, studies have shown that Arab American fiction has received more ..
