title: Player load monitoring and injury risk in elite Scottish Rugby Union
Creators: name: Paul, Cameron I.
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: There is a limited amount of research in professional Rugby Union to minimise the high injury risk associated with the sport. Given that injuries are sustained when workload is performed, the monitoring of player loads, and how these loads may relate to injury is of importance. This thesis presents an investigation of various external workloads and how these workloads may influence injury risk. Firstly, training volume and match exposure data were assessed. Players with the highest mean weekly training volume had the lowest injury incidence and injury burden rates. On the contrary, players with very high 1- and 2-weekly training volumes were significantly more likely to be injured compared to their respective reference groups. For match exposure data, injury incidence and injury burden rates were lowest for players involved in ≥ 25 matches per season. For training volume, the odds of injury increased linearly as the ACWR increased > 1.00. This thesis also investigated pitch-based workloads via global positioning system devices housing inertial measurement units. Derived measures of 1 – 4 weekly loads, weekly changes in load and ACWR data were used to investigate workload-injury relationships. Large difference in the workloads completed by positional groups were reported, which also translated to position-specific injury risks. It was concluded that there is a need for a more individualised monitoring approach when measuring workload-injury relationships for pitch-based loads. Rugby Union match play contact loads were also investigated in this thesis. Using video coding analysis, large differences between positional groups for contact volume and the number of contact events engaged in per player per match were reported. Ball Carrying events reported the highest injury risk per event (79.8 events per injury). In particular, velocity, tackle type and impact force were areas of concern. The multiple workload measures adopted in this thesis to investigate the influence of external workload on injury risk highlight that the workload-injury picture can greatly differ depending on the workload metrics adopted to monitor load in professional Rugby Union.

description: Background: The free β subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (free β-hCG) is an important serum marker for biochemical screening. Its weekly median value varies with ethnicity. Most of the fluorometers for lanthanide chelates are designed for the detection of signals from europium (Eu3+) chelates only. Methods: We developed a two-site, one-step assay using two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against free β subunit and β subunit with Eu3+ chelates as labels. Using the present assay, we evaluated 24,634 normal serum samples in Chinese pregnant women during 8–20 weeks of gestation. Results: The detection limit using this assay was <0.05 ng/mL. The within-run and between-run imprecision was <6.0% and 7.0% using control material. Free β-hCG concentrations measured using the current assay in 999 maternal serum samples correlated well with those obtained by samarium (Sm3+)-labeled DELFIA free hCGβ assay (r=0.987). The medians for 8–20 weeks for maternal serum free β-hCG were higher in the women from mainland China compared to reports from other countries. Conclusions: The present assay is suitable for use in biochemical screening of women in mainland China. Our study on the median concentrations of free β-hCG will help establish reference values that are specific for ethnic populations from the Chinese mainland. These will be useful for studying the importance of ethnic factors in biochemical screening. Clin Chem Lab Med 2010;48:109–14.

description: Effective field theories are the most general tool for the description of low energy phenomena. They are universal and systematic: they can be formulated for any low energy systems we can think of and offer a clear guide on how to calculate predictions with reliable error estimates, a feature that is called power counting. These properties can be easily understood in Wilsonian renormalization, in which effective field theories are the low energy renormalization group evolution of a more fundamental ---perhaps unknown or unsolvable--- high energy theory. In nuclear physics they provide the possibility of a theoretically sound derivation of nuclear forces without having to solve quantum chromodynamics explicitly. However there is the problem of how to organize calculations within nuclear effective field theory: the traditional knowledge about power counting is perturbative but nuclear physics is not. Yet power counting can be derived in Wilsonian renormalization and there is already a fairly good understanding of how to apply these ideas to non-perturbative phenomena and in particular to nuclear physics. Here we review a few of these ideas, explain power counting in two-nucleon scattering and reactions with external probes and hint at how to extend the present analysis beyond the two-body problem.

description: Today, most commercially available CIGS based solar modules with high efficiencies are processed on glass
substrates. The industrial standard substrate is soda-lime glass, since this type of glass is available in industrial
quantities at low cost and fits to CIGS process conditions in terms of CTE. However, the influence of the glass
substrate on the CIGS deposition process and the later device performance is fairly not well understood. During this
work it has been found that besides CTE-adoption the glass substrate can enable a significant efficiency improvement
of CIGS-based solar cells, if it shows high temperature stability and tailored sodium out-diffusion. Hence, a newly
glass substrate has been designed and developed, namely SCHOTT®AS87, to meet these conditions and resulted in a
conversion efficiency of 19,4% on a 0.452 cm² cell (certified by ISE), which represents a device improvement of
around 3% absolute compared to a reference cell processed on soda-lime glass. Additionally, the new substrate
material has the advantage of enabling much thinner substrates while keeping up with the required stiffness.

description: In this study, high-efficiency CuInGaSe2 (CIGS) integrated submodules having 17 interconnected cells
with a MgF2/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/glass structure were developed. A three-stage co-evaporation process was used to
fabricate the CIGS absorption layers on the 10 cm × 10 cm Mo/glass structure. The growth conditions of the CIGS
films were controlled using a molecular beam epitaxy apparatus equipped with a monitoring system. Integration
processes, identical to the general mass-production processes of the CIGS modules, were carried out by laser and
mechanical scribing. The integrated submodules showed efficiency greater than 16%. We believe that the efficiency
of commercial CIGS integrated modules can be greatly improved by using the high-quality CIGS films obtained by
the three-stage process.

description: A new numerical model was developed to compute the total cost of ownership (CoO) considering the physical
behaviors of control parameters associated with wire sawing. A parametric analysis was conducted to find an optimal operating
condition to reduce CoO by implementing the developed model in a mathematical program, MATLAB. The variation of each
contributor to CoO such as silicon, wire and slurry costs was identified in detail. The sensitivities of CoO versus a few primary
parameters were compared and showed that the two major contributors on CoO are the poly-Si price and the slicing yield.
title: A feasibility study for the development of sustainable theoretical framework for smart air-conditioning
Creators: name: Oye, Tosin Taiye
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: Air-conditioning as a technical solution to protect inhabitants from excessive heat exposure creates the challenge of expanding global warming and climate change. While air-conditioning has mostly been applied as an improvement to living conditions, health and environmental problems associated with its use frequently occur. Therefore, this study challenges and extends existing knowledge on sustainability-related to smart air-conditioning systems, where social, environmental and economic dynamics were considered. For instance, when exploring renewable-based options, advanced smart control techniques and profitability measures of air-conditioning reinforce the three pillars of sustainability. In addition to eradicating indoor health effects, this also helps to combat climate change through the system’s sustainability.

As an exercise in conceptual modelling, the principal component analysis accounts for sustainable planning and its integration into the theoretical framework. The newly proposed photovoltaic solar air-conditioning was optimised using Polysun to demonstrate the significant application of solar energy in air-conditioning systems, thereby reducing the level of energy consumption and carbon emissions. The newly proposed fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative controller and backpropagation neural network were optimised using Matlab to control the indoor temperature and CO2 level appropriately. The controller of the indoor environment was designed, and the proportional-integral-derivative control was utilised as a result of its suitability. The smart controllers were designed to regulate the parameters automatically to ensure an optimised control output.

The performance of photovoltaic solar air-conditioning in different temperate climates of Rome, Toulouse and London districts achieved a higher coefficient of performance of 3.37, 3.69 and 3.97, respectively. The system saved significant amount of energy and carbon emissions. The indoor temperature and indoor CO2 possess an appropriate time constant and settling time, respectively. The profitability assessment of the system revealed its adequate efficiency with an overall payback period of 5.5 years.

description: We study the Haldane-Hubbard model by exact Renormalization Group techniques. We construct the topological phase diagram, for weak interactions. We predict that many-body interactions induce a shift of the transition line. The presence of new intermediate phases, absent in the non interacting case, is rigorously excluded at weak coupling. Despite the nontrivial renormalization of the wave function and of the Fermi velocity, the conductivity is universal: at the renormalized critical line, both the discontinuity of the transverse conductivity and the longitudinal conductivity do not depend on the interaction, thanks to remarkable cancellations due to lattice Ward Identities.

description: The scope of this investigation is the development and testing of a new type of greenhouse with an
integrated linear Fresnel lens, receiver module and an innovative system for tracking to exploiting all direct radiation
in a solar energy system. The basic idea of this horticultural application is to develop a greenhouse for pot plants
(typical shadow plants) who does not like direct radiation. Removing all direct radiation will drastically reduce the
need for cooling under summer conditions and the need for screens or lime coating of the glass to reflect or block a
large part of the radiation. The remove of all direct radiation will block up to 81% of the solar energy, which will
reduce the needed cooling capacity. The second measure is the integration of a solar energy system. When the (linear)
Fresnel lenses are designed between double glass coverings and integrated in the greenhouse, the focused solar
energy on the Thermal Photovoltaic (TPV) cell in the focus point delivers electric and thermal energy. The TPV
module mounted in the focal point require cooling due to the high heat load of the concentrated radiation
(concentration factor of 50 x). All part are integrated in a greenhouse structure with a size of about 36m2 and the
electrical and thermal yield is determined for Dutch climate circumstances.

systems. The significant growth of the photovoltaic electricity production in Europe opens new challenges in terms of
building the necessary infrastructures and adopting the required standards and protocols. It is unlikely for Europe to be price
leader in the photovoltaic sector. But Europe can progress confirming and reinforcing its role as technology and innovation
leader, as technology leadership will contribute to maintain companies in Europe. The Solar Europe Industrial Initiative is an

description: The design of a PV plant over an industrial or urban roof is logically based on the idea of maximizing
the economical or environmental benefits. However, the process of calculating the energy produced is affected by
important variables that are usually not evaluated. Some of these are:
(1) Effect of azimuth, horizon shadows and system losses on PV panels’ optimal tilt angle.
(2) The economic index that reflects the viability of an investment considering a life of 25 years, an evolution
of maintenance costs, inflation or discount rate.
This paper presents the results obtained from an optimization that includes all these variables in order to calculate
what the optimal plant configuration is. Different objective function can be chosen (energy produced per kWp,
Internal Rate of Return, or net present value). The results show that the selection of different objective functions may
lead to quite different plant configuration. Choosing one or the other is a customer choice which should be based on
the particular characteristic of the building or on the financing possibilities.

description: Three cuts have been performed with identical conditions in order to test the inherent variability of a
wafer saw process. Slurry samples have been extracted throughout the cuts both from the slurry tank and in-situ, allowing
for an investigation of the effect of the sawing process on the grit shape and size. Finished wafers were characterised for
roughness, thickness and weight, and the validity of a five-point thickness measurement was evaluated. Apparent saw
marks were examined with infinite focus microscope and were found to be visible due to low surface roughness rather
than large profile deviations. The grit analyses allowed for an evaluation of the rate of change in size and shape
throughout the cut, and for one pass through the silicon brick. The relative circularity of the particles increased with 0.7%
per pass through the saw channel and 0.6% per hour; while their median size decreased by 0.2μm per hour.

description: The integration of high shares of distributed and renewable
energy resources (DER) will lead to changes in the load
flow directions. In low demand periods, reversal load flows
in medium and low voltage networks will occur due to a
feed-in of photovoltaic (PV) and Combined Heat and
Power (CHP) systems. This also leads to increase in the
difference between daily peak and base loade of a low
voltage network. In order to support the large scale
integration of DER into the electrical supply these effects
should be reduced. This can be achieved by changing the
time of use of electrical loads, by managing the time of
usage of CHP systems or by storing electrical energy in low
demand periods. In Germany local consumption of
electrical energy from PV systems is currently subsidized
with an extra bonus compared to the feed-in tariff. Yet
storing electrical energy remains costly and changing the
time-of-demand of end-users difficult. Therefore these
options should be used in an optimal way to support largescale
integration of DER and especially PV systems. The
purpose of this work is to analyze the effects of a high share
of DER on a low voltage network and to compare different
options of supporting the integration. The analyzed options
are a schedule management of CHP systems with regard to
the thermal storage capability, management of end-user
loads and usage of electrical energy storage (EES) systems.
A Focus is then set on the comparison of using EES to
maximize local consumption or to support the grid without
regard to local consumption.
The work is performed within the “Energy Research
Alliance of Lower Saxon (FEN).

title: The tourism and lifestyle mobilities of the Madeiran community in the Channel Island of Jersey
Creators: name: Moniz Vieira, Rubina
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis critically examines the multiple mobilities and travel experiences of the Madeiran community that decided to migrate to the Channel Island of Jersey, most during the 1990’s. The thesis explores: reasons for their move to the island; the challenges of their settlement; the links they maintain with the homeland. It specifically analyses the Madeiran’s’ experiences in Jersey and whether they desire to return to the homeland in the future.

The theoretical discussion explores the concept of diaspora, its historical development, and the connections between diasporas, mobilities and migration movements. Themes related to diaspora tourism, labour mobilities and family migration are also discussed, to develop a critical standing about contemporary mobilities and the importance of transnationalism. Connections between diaspora tourism and the loyalty to the homeland are also explored.

The methodology explains why I have opted for a qualitative research study and my interest in the nature of the participants’ experiences and my focus on understanding their social world. I conducted 28 in-depth semi-structured interviews in Jersey and in Madeira. The findings show that these migrants came to Jersey when they were young and came through curiosity, a sense of adventure and the possibility of improving their living standards. The appeal of Jersey lay in the job opportunities and the higher salaries, while the push factors of Madeira were the less developed economy and the limited career prospects. Most Madeirans in Jersey work in the hospitality, tourism, and agriculture industries.

The focus of this study on small island-to-island migration is a relatively neglected topic. Whereas mobilities studies have tended to focus on the highly skilled and more affluent groups of migrants, the discussion explores the mobilities and travel habits gained by a lower income group and contributes to the understanding of the mobility paradigm, by bringing attention to the less understood individual decisions made by citizens who wish to migrate. A framework is developed that explains how their lifestyle mobilities have changed and the travel trends that have emerged with their move to Jersey, influenced by their attachment to the homeland and their family relations. A research agenda on islandto-island migration mobilities is proposed.

description: In this paper we propose a state space modeling approach for trust evaluation in wireless sensor networks. In our state space trust model (SSTM), each sensor node is associated with a trust metric, which measures to what extent the data transmitted from this node would better be trusted by the server node. Given the SSTM, we translate the trust evaluation problem to be a nonlinear state filtering problem. To estimate the state based on the SSTM, a component-wise iterative state inference procedure is proposed to work in tandem with the particle filter, and thus the resulting algorithm is termed as iterative particle filter (IPF). The computational complexity of the IPF algorithm is theoretically linearly related with the dimension of the state. This property is desirable especially for high dimensional trust evaluation and state filtering problems. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by both simulations and real data analysis.

description: Oregon’s policies to promote solar energy have caused thousands of new jobs in the State. Oregon is
now the largest solar manufacturing cluster of any state in the United States. Oregon is also among the leading states
in solar installations for space heating, for water heating, and for electricity generation from solar photovoltaics,
especially building-integrated-photovoltaics (BIPV). Oregon is also one of the leading states in the development of
wind and other renewable resources. A study by the Pew Charitable Trust indicates that Oregon has the most jobs per
capita of any state in the United States in the clean energy economy, which Pew defines to include solar energy, other
renewable energy, energy-efficient construction and related fields. The clean energy economy has grown seven times
faster in Oregon than Oregon’s economy as a whole over the last ten years.
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of government policies that encourage the manufacture and installation of solar
equipment and other renewable energy, with resulting job creation and other economic benefits. The experience in
Oregon demonstrates that government policies can foster the growth of solar energy; that growth in turn can create
jobs and provide other economic benefits to communities.
title: Exploring factors that may optimise learning from and working within continuity models of midwifery care
Creators: name: Moncrieff, Gill
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University

description: Background
Maternity policy and guidelines increasingly recommend or stipulate the increased provision of midwifery continuity of carer as a priority model of care. The scale up and sustainability of this model will require that student midwives are confident and competent to provide continuity of carer at the point of qualification. Guidance relating to how to optimally prepare student midwives to work within continuity models is lacking.

Aim
To explore perspectives and experiences of the effectiveness of the pre-registration midwifery curriculum for optimal working within continuity models of care, and to prepare recommendations for effective working within and learning from this model of care.

Methods
This MRes project utilised an integrative literature review to identify barriers and facilitators to optimal working within continuity models of care, and online surveys, for student midwives and midwives, to explore perspectives and experiences of their preparation for and learning within continuity models of care. The results of the literature review and survey were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and from a critical theory perspective.

Findings
The literature review emphasised the need to prepare students with regard to the intent and expectations of continuity within the curriculum and to establish a related philosophy across the programme and to practice. It also highlighted the need to prioritise continuity of mentor and to ensure students are supported through strategies to establish professional boundaries and strong education-practice partnerships. A continuity toolkit and continuity coordinator will be useful to complement these strategies. The surveys confirmed these findings and emphasised the need for organisational support for continuity models, which needs to be optimised to support working in a way that aligns with the philosophy of continuity of carer. Prioritising woman centred care as foundational to education and facilitating the critical deconstruction of dominant discourses that conflict with, and may prevent this form of practice, will ensure women are optimally supported regardless of model of care.

description: We present a weak-lensing and dynamical study of the complex cluster Abell 1758 (A1758, z = 0.278) supported by hydrodynamical simulations. This cluster is composed of two main structures, called A1758N and A1758S. The Northern structure is composed of A1758NW & A1758NE, with lensing determined masses of 7.90_{-1.55}^{+1.89} X 10^{14} M_\odot and 5.49_{-1.33}^{+1.67} X 10^{14} M_\odot, respectively. They show a remarkable feature: while in A1758NW there is a spatial agreement among weak lensing mass distribution, intracluster medium and its brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in A1758NE the X-ray peak is located 96_{-15}^{+14} arcsec away from the mass peak and BCG positions. Given the detachment between gas and mass we could use the local surface mass density to estimate an upper limit for the dark matter self-interaction cross section: σ/m<5.83 cm^2 g^{-1}. Combining our velocity data with hydrodynamical simulations we have shown that A1758 NW \& NE had their closest approach 0.27 Gyr ago and their merger axis is 21+-12 degrees from the plane of the sky. In the A1758S system we have measured a total mass of 4.96_{-1.19}^{+1.08} X 10^{14} M_\odot and, using radial velocity data, we found that the main merger axis is located at 70+-4 degrees from the plane of the sky, therefore closest to the line-of-sight.

description: In order to improve the energy efficiency of PV panels, two possibilities are available: better materials
and design for the solar energy absorber and the use of solar tracking systems. The paper presents an analysis of
loads and also FEM stress and displacement analysis of an experimental equatorial solar tracking system. The system
is one of ten different tracking systems for PV individual panels implemented, this year, in the campus of the
Transilvania University of Braov, Romania. There have been considered the loading cases depending on the
functional positions of the tracking system, considering different wind loads, following Eurocode. Final conclusions
have been drawn on the most appropriate loading cases that must be considered in preliminary design.

description: We show, by direct numerical simulations, that heavy inertial particles (characterized by Stokes number $\St$) in inhomogeneously forced statistically stationary isothermal turbulent flows cluster at the minima of mean-square turbulent velocity. Two turbulent transport processes, turbophoresis and turbulent diffusion together determine the spatial distribution of the particles. If the turbulent diffusivity is assumed to scale with turbulent root mean square velocity, as is the case for homogeneous turbulence, the turbophoretic coefficient can be calculated. Indeed, for the above assumption, the non-dimensional product of the turbophoretic coefficient and the rms velocity is shown to increase with $St$ for small $St$, reach a maxima for $St\approx 10$ and decrease as $\sim St^{-0.33}$ for large $St$.

description: Performance of Multicrystalline ingots is affected by
many properties, especially during the crystallizing
process. Reducing the defects of ingots and improving the
cell property are main stream pursuits for this field. For
this study, three types of thermal gradient during
crystallizing were tested to verify the properties of Multicrystalline
ingot. Reducing the thermal gradient can slow
the growth rate with the ingot oxygen concentration and
cell efficiency being the main impact on ingot performance.
Current acceptable oxygen concentrations are below
10x1017 cm-3, however the oxygen concentration at bottom
of the ingot can be reduced to 2x1017 cm-3 with a slow
down in the growth rate. In addition, wafer efficiency can
also increase 0.2% by setting up a small thermal gradient.
Regarding cell properties, a small thermal gradient during
solidification increased the performance of Jsc and Voc.

description: We develop an elementary algebraic method to compute the center of the principal block of a small quantum group associated with a complex semisimple Lie algebra at a root of unity. The exemplary case of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ is computed explicitly, and further evidence of $\mathfrak{sl}_4$ is sketched. This allows us to formulate the conjecture that, as a bigraded vector space, the center of a regular block of the small quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_m$ at a root of unity is isomorphic to Haiman's diagonal coinvariant algebra for the symmetric group $S_{m}$.

description: One of the major sources of losses in a photovoltaic (PV) system is the mismatch between the amounts
of energy generated by two or more modules inside an array. This mismatch can be caused for instance by partial
shading of the modules. This paper investigates the performance decrease of PV-modules under non-optimal
irradiance conditions, and also some techniques used to mitigate this problem. Firstly, mathematical modeling of the
PV module is simulated under different level of shading. Performance comparison is done between PV string
configuration and those based on module level MPP tracking units in terms of mismatch losses. Further, promising
technologies which increase the efficiency and reliability of such systems under mismatch conditions such as active
bypass, AC-Modules and power optimizers are discussed.

title: An exploration of factors influencing repurchase of a luxury lifestyle product in a mono brand store setting. A study of Bang & Olufsen Singapore
Creators: name: Moeller, Jonas Wulff
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2022

description: This study aims to explore why a customer of Bang & Olufsen in Singapore purchase a Bang & Olufsen product again (repurchase) within a mono brand store setting, and how the distribution channel type of a mono brand store influences the repurchase decision. The research is in the field of marketing and situated in the luxury lifestyle industry, and the importance of repurchases and the strategic development of mono branded stores are top priorities for Bang & Olufsen Singapore.

To achieve the research aim within the principle of critical realism, the methodology uses a triangulation mono method qualitative approach. The data is from interviews of customers who repurchased, staff from the mono brand store where the customer has repurchased and internal documentation. Data was collected via semi structured audio call interviews. Thereafter the data was analysed with thematic analysis method. This methodology was designed to understand the studied phenomenon.

The research findings suggest both theoretical and practical implications. Eight scenarios were discovered that would lead customer to repurchases. One scenario would lead customers not to repurchase (again). Two additional scenarios of how a mono brand store affects a repurchase decision were discovered. The findings will make contribution to improve the marketing plan for repurchases and improve the concept of mono brand stores for Bang & Olufsen. Further to the practical implications, the discussion suggests an adaptation of the stimulus, organism and response (SOR) framework (Mehrabian and Russell, 1974) for theoretical contribution of luxury lifestyle repurchases in mono brand store settings for future research.
