description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.New Zealand demersal trawl and line fisheries incidentally harvest more than a hundred non-target fish species on an annual basis. Until recently, the majority of by-catch species have been managed using qualitative indicators of status, without reference to estimates of productivity or exploitation rate. A semi-quantitative, spatially-explicit framework for sustainability risk assessment of fish by-catch is presently under development. The framework uses an impact/threshold approach to risk evaluation, whereby risk for a species is evaluated as the ratio of an impact level to a maximum impact sustainable threshold (MIST). The impact level is estimated using information on species distribution, fisheries overlap and catchability, whereas the MIST is derived from life history dependent productivity estimates. The framework implements an integrated approach that allows uncertainty in all components to be quantified and propagated through the assessment process. An important outcome is that both risk and uncertainty can be partitioned and distinguished among fishery sectors, allowing more focused management action. This paper will give an overview of conceptual framework design, including key components, structural assumptions and spatial considerations, with reference to data limitations and the information needs of fisheries managers.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Validate assessments are not available for red seabream from the Azores (ICES area Xa2) and so, current fishing mortality (F) is not known from modelling. Total mortality (Z) was estimated using the catch curve analysis. Annual fishery length composition from 1995 to 2013 was used and converted to catch at age using annual survey age length keys (ALK). Adopting a constant value of natural mortality (M) for the species the annual fishing mortality was estimated. Total mean annual biomass of the exploited stock was then estimated from the catch equation. Results suggested an increase trend on the annual fishing mortality along time but with very high fluctuations. High values of fishing mortality (F=0.6-0.7) are estimated during the first (1995-1998) and last three years (2011-2013), although high uncertainty are observed. Only for the period 2000-2002 fishing mortality is equal or lower than natural mortality (M=0.2). The correlation between survey relative abundance indices and biomass values estimated from the catch curve suggests that mortality is dependent of fish availability. Changes on the catchability along time is suggested as an explanation for the high variability on fishing mortality.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Beginning from 2011 the regulation measures are undertaken for two management units of S. mentella. The strategy of stock exploitation is based on data obtained during international surveys and catch statistics. For the last 20 years the acoustic estimation decreased from 2.2 mln t in 1994 to 0.09 mln t in 2013. The attempts to explain extremely low stock estimates only by commercial withdrawal ignore the ecosystem approach based on study of interaction between abiotic and biotic components of marine ecosystems. Thus, we have studied the impact of climatic variability on distribution and assessment of redfish stock.

AN EVALUATION OF THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PRE- AND POST-OPERATIVE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS PATIENTS
Creators: name: HACKING, BELINDA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: Coronary artery disease and bypass surgery can have a major impact on many aspects of patients' lives. A substantial proportion of cardiac patients experience high levels of psychological morbidity and in many cases, this is not closely related to physical symptoms. From the current evidence it is not yet possible to reliably identify the factors that contribute to the development of patients' poor mental health. In this investigation, a detailed description of patients' social, psychological and medical history was gained both before and after surgery. Having had distressing experiences in the Intensive Care Unit was highly correlated with psychological morbidity six months after surgery. These findings were considered in relation to psychological theories of depression and anxiety in order to better understand the distress experienced by cardiac patients.
THE EFFECT OF PATIENT GENDER ON MEDICAL DECISION MAKING: THE INFLUENCE OF DECISIONAL STRESS
Creators: name: DI CACCAVO, ANTONIETTA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: This research investigated the influence of patient gender as a nonclinical variable on treatment decisions made in general practice. Responses to exploratory interviews carried out with 34 GPs supported the relevance of decisional stress in general practice. Decisional conflict theory therefore provided a theoretical basis for predicting that gender differences in management would be most likely to occur under conditions of decisional stress. This is because GPs are likely to rely on gender stereotypes to simplify decision tasks as this allows them to selectively search and appraise information. Responses to interview questions regarding the influence of patient gender on decision making were analysed in order to establish a set of collective GP expectations about the characteristics and behaviour of male and female patients. Following the interview study, a subset of 23 GPs supplied information for each patient seen over approximately six surgeries, providing data for 1380 consultations in all. GPs recorded information about presenting complaints, management decisions, a range of patient characteristics, three measures of decisional stress and a measure of feeling towards patients. Log-linear analysis of these data suggested that when not feeling positively towards patients, GPs managed male and female patients presenting with certain complaints differently. Women were more likely to be prescribed drugs while men were more likely to be given advice or referral. This disparity only occurred for patients presenting with psychological and musculo-skeletal complaints. In order to identify whether consultation processes mediated these differences, corresponding audio-taped consultations also collected from the 23 GPs were analysed. Verbal interaction between GP and patient was coded according to the functional style and content of communication. However, no significant differences in either of these aspects of the consultation process emerged to explain differences in management outcome. This may be because treatment differences are mediated by implicit processes rather than by observable consultation behaviour. Research carried out in the thesis furthers the understanding of medical decision making by recognising that non-clinical factors such as patient gender and feeling towards patients, as well as medical factors influence the way that GPs manage their patients.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Red seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo) is the most important commercial demersal/deep-water species ofthe Azores (ICES area X), controlling the dynamic of the small scale mixed hook and line fishery. Thestock status is uncertain because the imprecision of the assessment results. Natural mortality (M) isone of the main parameters used for fish stock assessment. However, it is a very uncertain anddifficult parameter to estimate. We explore several approaches to estimate natural mortality for redseabream from the Azores, particularly the methods related with population life history as a tool fordata limited stocks. Life history information for red seabream from the Azores was collected frompublished literature. Considering the uncertainty of the methods and the life history parameters weuse multiple methods and different set of parameters available for the species to estimate M,assessing the variability. Results show that when M is constant it varies between 0.2 and 0.4 per year.For variable natural mortality methods mean values between 0.2 and 0.6 are estimated for the fullyrecruited fraction of the stock. Overall a very broad range of M estimates are provided by thedifferent methods. Implications of this variability for the assessment are discussed.

THEMES AND ISSUES IN THE EXPERIENCE OF CHILD SURVIVOR FRIENDS
Creators: name: Adolphus, Katherine Jane
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: This study was interested in the experience of adults who had been bereaved of close friends during childhood (aged 5-12 years). This was identified as an area that was both underresearched and of potential importance to mental health professionals. Six participants were recruited through newspaper articles and requests placed in G.P. surgeries. All of the participants met with the researcher for an open-ended, unstructured interview lasting between 1 and 11/2 hours. The interviews were explored using the qualitative approach of 'Interpretative Phenomenologjcal Analysis'. Several themes and issues emerged as important in the experience of child survivor friends. These themes were related to one another in a conceptual map. The analysis showed that child survivor friends could, and did, respond in ways that are typically associated with grief They were also shown to be particularly vuhierable to traumatic stress responses, which may have impacted upon the resolution of their grief The survivor friends had also maintained continuing bonds with the deceased that were present at the time of the interview. There was also a tendency to remain without a close friend for some time after the bereavement. Being a child survivor friend was shown to impact upon the development of understanding the universality of death, it was also identified as a possible risk factor for depression. The reactions of adults (i.e. parents and teachers) to the survivor fiiends was also found to be important. They tended to disenfranchise the grief of the participants as children. This was found to be detrimental to their ability to cope with the loss. This study recommended that the grief of future child survivor friends is acknowledged, franchised and supported. These findings were interpreted and related to current theories of grief and attachment. The clinical implications of these results were discussed. The limitations of this study were acknowledged and avenues for future research highlighted. The conceptual map developed from this research supports the 'dual processing model' of grief (Stroebe, 1994) with elements of Moss' and 'restoration' orientation in the responses of survivor friends, with oscillation between the two over time.

POST-NATAL DEPRESSION IN FIRST TIME FATHERHOOD
Creators: name: WORWOOD, EMMA VICTORIA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: It is gradually becoming acknowledged that fathers do suffer from post-natal depression, but very little is known about their experience or how many fathers are actually affected. The factors that may increase a father's susceptibility to post-natal depression, or those that might indeed protect him, have also been given little consideration in research to date. This study examined the prevalence and comorbidity of post-natal depression in 100 first time parents, using the Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale (EPDS). The psychological factors of infant temperament, perception of own parenting and social support were investigated in a smaller sample of 30 fathers subsequently interviewed. These were measured using the Neonatal Perception Inventory (NPI), the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and the Significant Others Scale (SOS) respectively. The findings suggest that approximately 12 per cent of first time fathers may suffer from post-natal depression and fathers are significantly more likely to experience this if their partner is also depressed. Depression amongst fathers was found to be associated with having little social support, perceiving one's own baby as more difficult than the average baby and perceiving one's own father as having been uncaring. The findings are discussed together with their clinical implications and areas for future research.

Language development

description: Until very recently language development research classified the language learner as belonging to one of two discrete groups – monolingual or bilingual. This thesis explores the hypothesis that this is an insufficient description of language input and that there are sub-groups within the monolingual category based on the phonological variability of their exposure that could be considered akin to that of bilingual toddlers. For some monolingual toddlers, classified as monodialectal, their language exposure is generally consistent, because both of their parents speak the dialect of the local area. Yet for other toddlers, classified as multidialectal, the language environment is more variable, because at least one of their parents speaks with a dialect that differs from the local area. It is considered that by testing this group of multidialectal toddlers it will be possible to explore the effect of variability on language development and how increased variability in the bilingual linguistic environment might be influencing aspects of language development. This thesis approaches the influence of variability from three areas of interest: phonetic specificity of familiar words using a mispronunciation paradigm (Experiments 1 and 2), target recognition of naturally occurring pronunciation alternatives (Experiments 3 and 4) and use of the Mutual Exclusivity strategy in novel word learning (Experiment 5). Results show that there are differences between the two dialect groups (monodialectal and multidialectal) in a mispronunciation detection task but that toddlers perform similarly with naturally occurring pronunciation alternatives and in their application of the Mutual Exclusivity strategy. This programme of work highlights that there is an influence of linguistic variability on aspects of language development, justifying the parallel between bilingualism and multidialectalism.
OUTCOME BIAS IN JUDGEMENTS OF THE QUALITY OF EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS
Creators: name: BRADON, PETER
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1996

description: This thesis is concerned with the evaluation of experimental design. It reviews design research in general and notes some methodological limitations. The process of experimental design is considered in the light of this review, particularly in terms of the ability of designers to evaluate potential designs. Experiment 1, a prospective study involving the creative design of psychology experiments, reports inadequate assessment of experimental power and little or no evidence of explicit evaluation processes. Experiment 2 assesses the evaluation of existing experimental designs and demonstrates that judgements of the quality of experimental design are influenced by the presence of outcome information more than any other factor. Following this result a review of the hindsight and outcome bias literature is presented. Experiments 3, 4 and 5 demonstrate that outcome bias is a pervasive effect not mediated by task presentation, explicit definitions of quality or statistical expertise. Also, by manipulating subjects' perspective, Experiment 5 differentiates between the effects of outcomes themselves and their financial implications. The term outcome salience is defined as "the relative importance of the implications of an outcome from the point of view of the subject". It is shown that both the size and direction of an outcome bias are determined by (and could be predicted from) the associated outcome salience. Experiment 6 explores subjects' beliefs about the relevance of experimental factors, outcome information and the financial implications of outcomes to quality judgements. Ratings of relevance are shown to be in direct opposition to the actual use of these factors in judgements. Relevance ratings are also shown to be influenced by a subject's perspective. Experiment 7 tests the links between outcome bias effects and traditional, memory based, hindsight bias effects using a memory based paradigm. Results show that, in addition to biases of judgement in foresight, the same outcome information will also bias the memory of earlier judgements and the memory of relevant task details in hindsight. The practical implications of outcome bias are discussed. Using a motivational account based on the concept of outcome salience, hindsight bias is redefined as one particular form of outcome bias. This account unifies two previously separate research areas and is shown to explain a number of previously unexplained effects in the hindsight literature. Accounts of reasoning are reviewed, as are information processing and motivational accounts of hindsight bias. The theoretical implications of the present results are discussed in the light of these accounts.

description: Studies have indicated that many, although by no means all, people with epilepsy have difficulty in adjusting to the disorder, manifest by higher rates of psychological and social problems than amongst the general population. A variety of neurological and environmental factors have been hypothesized to contribute to these consequences. It has been suggested that the severity of seizures may be an important factor in determining psychological and social well-being, but very little research has investigated this empirically. This study was therefore undertaken to investigate the relationship between patient-rated seizure severity and adjustment to epilepsy. If greater seizure severity was associated with poorer adjustment, measurement of seizure severity might provide a suitable means of identifying those patients who could benefit from a psychoeducational intervention programme, and may also serve as a useful measure of treatment efficacy. In addition, the research considered the value of Wright's (1990) comprehensive conceptual model for the definition and assessment of adjustment, as much research in the area of adjustment to chronic illness has suffered from insufficient definition and difficulties with measurement. The results indicated that seizure severity was only weakly associated with psychological and illness-related measures of adjustment. These associations would not be sufficiently strong to allow the proposed use of seizure severity as an indicator of poor adjustment, although there may be some value in using this variable as a measure of treatment efficacy in addition to seizure frequency. The conceptual model of adjustment was found to be of value as a framework for guiding operationalisation and measurement of adjustment. Results tentatively confirmed the associations currently suggested within the model and further additions were proposed. Suggestions for future research are made.

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS INHIBITION AND SHORT AND LONG TERM HABITUATION OF THE DORSAL ANTENNAE WITHDRAWAL RESPONSE IN HELIX ASPERSA
Creators: name: RAY, STEPHEN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: The pharmacological disruption of memory by various protein synthesis inhibitory drugs (PSIs) has implicated protein synthesis as a requirement for long term learning but not for short. However, evidence derived from PSI research remains equivocal, with the apparent amnesic effects of PSIs being attributed to drug side-effects and general behavioural debilitations. Research reported in this thesis investigates the behavioural effects on short and long term habituation of the dorsal antennae withdrawal reflex in the snail (Helix aspersa) of three antibiotic drugs known to reversibly inhibit protein synthesis; anisomycin, actinomycin D, and puromycin. Initially, habituation was established as true learning in the snail and was demonstrated to be capable of retention for over 24 hours from one training session and over 6 months from a series of training sessions. The parametric characteristics of both short and long term habituation in the snail was established and found to be identical to those demonstrated in vertebrate habituation. Such characteristics were found to be different for short and long term habituation. Injection of PSIs showed no effect on short term habituation but disrupted long term habituation if PSI was active within a 'critical time window' during or for approximately 40 minutes after training. Later injections had no amnesic effect, and neither did injections 2 hours prior to training. The amnesic effects were demonstrated not to be attributable to drug side-effects by the development and application of a 'behavioural test battery' to screen general snail behaviour for drug induced debilitations at a variety of doses. Dose/amnesic effect relationships are also reported. Potentially confounding effects, such as, state dependent learning, and drug performance effects, were controlled out. The effects of the PSIs on short and long term habituation are then reported in terms of their effects on the established short and long term parametric characteristics of the learning. Drug injected snails showed normal short term parametric characteristics in training. However, in a long term retest drug treated snails also showed the parametric characteristics of short term habituation which demonstrated the degree of induced amnesia. The results are discussed in terms of a gene expression model of long term habituation and suggest that short and long term habituation are mediated by different processes. Short term habituation is protein synthesis independent and long term habituation is protein synthesis dependent.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Percophis brasiliensis (flathead) is caught in Argentinean and Uruguayan waters by a mixed, multi-fleet fishery andmanaged together between both countries. Landings of flathead have progressively increased from 3000 to 7000 tonsduring the last decade. The study area is an extensive shallow coastal plain influenced by Rio de la Plata flow, which extendsfrom 70 to 200 km into the open sea, depending on the river flow. In this complex fishery, fishery-independent data are areliable alternative to obtain accurate estimates of flathead abundance, required to provide scientific advice on fisheryresources management.

COUNTERFACTUAL THINKING AND THE FALSE BELIEF TASK: A DEVELOPMENTAL STUDY
Creators: name: ARRECKX, FREDERIQUE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2007

description: The main aim of this thesis was to investigate children's reasoning abilities, especially their ability to solve counterfactual tasks. This thesis studied counterfactual thinking as an independent ability but also in relation to both types of the false belief tasks that measure theory of mind and contrary-to-fact syllogisms. Four experiments were conducted with typically developing children between the ages of 3 to 5. The first experiment studied the difference between affirmative and negative counterfactual questions and found that the former was easier than the latter. The second experiment replicated these results and investigated the link between counterfactual thinking and the false belief task but failed to find a link between the two. The third experiment found a link between counterfactual and both types of false belief tasks; false belief to others and false belief to self task. This experiment also identified a discrepancy between counterfactual thinking and contrary-to-fact syllogisms. When examining contrary-to-fact syllogisms it was found that the ones requiring a yes answer were easier than the ones requiring a no answer. This discrepancy between counterfactual thinking and contrary-to-fact syllogisms was confirmed in experiment 4 as a fantasy context influenced performance on these tasks differently. Fantasy context increased performance on contrary-to-fact syllogisms but decreased performance on counterfactual tasks. In conclusion, this thesis confirmed a link between counterfactual thinking and the false belief task. It identified an important difference between counterfactual thinking and contrary-to-fact reasoning. It also highlighted the importance of the polarity (affirmative versus negative) of questions as well as answers on performance.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT TO CANCER: THE RELEVANCE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND FAMILY STRUCTURE
Creators: name: LUNN, MARTIN ERNEST
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: This study was designed to investigate psychological adjustment to breast cancer in relation to social support, and family cohesion and adaptability. A sample of forty one women, admitted to hospital with breast cancer for surgery, were given an assessment package six to eight weeks after hospital discharge. The package consisted of the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MAC), the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales(FACES) and the Michigan Social Support Scale for breast cancer patients. An identical package was posted to the patients after six months. Three models were tested corresponding to different levels of consistency with a causal interpretation of a relationship between social support and psychological adjustment. The results indicated that psychological morbidity was high at both ti me points. Social support from a doctor, nurse specialist, friend, and spouse were each found to be correlated with at least one psychological adjustment sub- scale at time one. The strongest relationship emerged for social support from the nurse specialist and the ''fighting spirit" sub- scale of the MAC. None of the family scales were found to be related to psychological adjustment or social support. Discriminant function analysis was performed to investigate variables which discriminated caseness at time one and time two. Social support from a doctor emerged as the most significant variable discriminating cases from non-cases at time one . At time two negative support was the most significant variable. The results were discussed in relation to previous research and a service development emerging from the study was described.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE REHABILITATION OF MOVEMENT CONTROL IN STROKE PATIENTS
Creators: name: CONNOLLY, SARAH A. V.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: Psychological models of motor control, although often developed by work with people who have specific pathologies, have been contained very much within the academic sphere of psychology. Physiotherapy and methods of movement rehabilitation have also been developed within the bounds of one profession. With the increasing trend towards working in multidisciplinary settings the opportunity now exists more readily to cross professional boundaries and integrate these two separate knowledge bases in order that better rehabilitation programmes can be developed and in recent years this has begun to happen. With this in mind the research reported here set out to investigate the motor function of stroke patients who have reached a plateau of motor recovery, using dual task methodology. Two experiments were conducted, one involving the "automatic" movement of walking and the other more controlled hand and finger movements. In addition to information about movement it was hoped to investigate whether there was evidence for more than one central information processing system. The results of the walking experiment were inconclusive because of a number of methodological issues which are discussed. The results of the second experiment indicate that there may be evidence for more than one central information processing system. They also showed that in a dual task situation stroke patients differentially allocate their cognitive resources in favour of the movement task. These results are interpreted in terms of stroke patients monitoring their movement more closely. The, results are discussed in terms of a psychological framework of movement control, and issues are raised about whether physiotherapists could make use of this type of approach in developing movement rehabilitation programmes for stroke patients.
