A COMPARISON OF THE RELATIVE IMPACT OF A COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL INTERVENTION CONSISTING OF AN EDUCATION COMPONENT, WITH A POSTAL EDUCATION PACKAGE, ON COPING WITH OSTEOPOROSIS
Creators: name: DAVENPORT CLARKE, CHARLOTTE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: A study was carried out in order to compare the effects of a cognitive-behavioural intervention, with a postal education package, on coping with osteoporosis. Thirty osteoporosis sufferers were divided into three groups. One group received an intervention programme consisting of education, relaxation techniques, and instruction in the use of coping strategies for pain and stress. A comparison group received an education booklet on osteoporosis sent to them through the postal system. The study also included a non-treatment control group. Measures of locus of control, depression, anxiety, pain, and disease knowledge, were taken pre-and post-intervention. lt was predicted that the intervention group would report a significant decrease in external locus of control (subdivided into chance happenings, and powerful doctor control beliefs), and an increase in internal locus of control, and in disease knowledge compared to the other two groups. A significant decrease in depression, anxiety, and pain ratings was also predicted for the intervention group compared to the comparison group and the control group. It was further predicted that their would be no relationship between the age of participants, and scores on any of the outcome measures. Analyses of variance carried out on the data revealed significant differences between the groups from baseline to follow-up on some of the measures. Depression and pain ratings decreased significantly for the intervention group compared to the other two groups. Although anxiety also showed a trend to decrease for the intervention group, this result was not significant. Both internal locus of control and disease knowledge increased significantly for the intervention group compared to the other two groups. No significant differences were found post-intervention between the groups for external locus of control. Correlational analysis revealed no significant relationship between the age of participants and any of the dependent measures. These results suggest that education delivered on an individual basis as part of a cognitive behavioural-intervention is more effective in increasing disease knowledge than an education package sent to osteoporosis sufferers through the postal system. The results further suggest that adaptation to osteoporosis can be facilitated by equipping sufferers with a repertoire of cognitive-behavioural coping strategies, and that older adults are just as likely to benefit from such an approach as their younger counterparts. The results are discussed in relation to previous research findings, and suggestions for future research are put forward.

CAUSAL ATTRIBUTION AND DEPRESSION
Creators: name: IKHLEF, ATMANE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1982

description: This thesis reports a series of experiments conducted to elucidate the nature of the relationship between attribution and depression. After an extended review of the literature on attribution and depression it was concluded that further research is needed to evaluate the aetiological importance of depressogenic attributions, and also to elucidate the nature of the relationship they may entertain with depression. A series of experiments and studies were performed to address these and other issues. In experiments l-3 subjects' attributions for success and failure were manipulated and their effects on subsequent mood, expectations and psychomotor performance were assessed. The results showed that depression and its correlates are causally influenced by negative self-attributions. A further study, in which depressed and non-depressed patients' attributions were assessed, also provided evidence in support of the aetiological importance of these kinds of attributions. Experiments 5 and 6 were designed to clarify the nature of the relationship between attributions and depressed mood. Experiment 6 showed that mood can affect attributions, suggesting that the relationship between these two variables is at least reciprocal. The implications of this finding for cognitive formulations of depression were discussed. Another part of the programme was concerned with the determinants of depressogenic attributions. Two studies investigated ways in which depressed and non-depressed subjects used information to formulate attributions. The results suggest that depressed subjects' maladaptive attributions may develop as a result of a tendency to use personal rather than environmental information. Finally, a multifactorial model was proposed, and its implications for the understanding of the aetiology and development of depression were discussed.
NURSES' ATTITUDES AND NURSE-PATIENT INTERACTIONS ON A PAEDIATRIC WARD
Creators: name: CURTIS, ELIZABETH ANNE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: Despite the potentially very significant role of nurses in mitigating against the negative effects of hospitalisation on children, the attitudes and behaviour of paediatric nurses towards patients have been largely ignored within the literature. This study, therefore, aimed to consider paediatric nurses' attitudes and their interactions with patients and, in particular, to investigate the relationship between these two variables. However, in contrast with similar studies in other specialties, nurses' attitudes and behaviour were considered at a general and individual patient level. A general attitude measure, the Paediatric Attitude Scale (PAS), was developed during the first part of the study and indicated that nurses' attitudes towards patients as a whole tended to be tolerant and patient-centred. Nurses' interactions with patients were mainly positive and, in contrast with previous research, regularly occurred outside of the normal nursing routine. In addition, almost half of all nurse-patient interactions contained a social component. As predicted, no significant association was evident between nurses' scores on the PAS and their general behaviour with patients. However, modest associations with correlation ratios of between 0.10 and 0.16 were found between nurses' attitudes towards individual patients (as measured by ranking scales) and the quality, duration and, to a lesser extent, the number of interactions with those particular patients. Indeed, the results suggested that patients who were liked more and who were considered easier to nurse tended to receive interactions which were more positive and longer than patients who were liked less and who were perceived to be more 'difficult'. However, the actual differences between interaction scores for particular patients were relatively small and their clinical significance in terms of the impact on children and the need to modify nursing practice is, therefore, debatable.
A STUDY EXPLORING THE NATURE AND EFFECT OF INTERACTIONS IN PLAY BETWEEN CARERS AND CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY, DOWN SYNDROME AND TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT
Creators: name: Payne, Jan
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: An observational study with an emergent design of two parts, consisting of quantitative and qualitative analysis, looked at communicative interactions between carers and children. The children were drawn from three groups: Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome and typically developing. The first part of the study utilised a secondary data set of observations of play sessions of carers with children who have Cerebral Palsy and carers of children with typical development. A continuous observational data-logging method of four verbal and six non-verbal behaviours was piloted and used with this data, and also used with observations of a further research group of carers with children who have Down syndrome, Measurement and comparison of frequencies of verbal and non-verbal behaviours was carried out. The behaviours were: verbal - questions and replies, descriptive commenting and directives; non-verbal - attention-directing, demonstrating, physically orienting, attending and exploring. Between the groups, similarities and differences were found in the frequencies of particular behaviours. Although the greatest frequency of questions and replies were by carers and children in the typically developing group, frequencies of descriptive commenting were similar across the groups. The second part of the study consisted of a qualitative analysis of two carer-child pairs from each of the three groups. Differences in individual style were found between and within the groups. Characteristics and strategies of carer's communicative interactions, and their functional relation to the attentional and responding capacities of the children, were identified and described. A clinically interesting finding was made, that the questions asked by carers of the children with Cerebral Palsy and Down syndrome, were, in the absence of replies by the children, transformed into descriptive comments. The findings of the study are discussed. The methodology, and issues of interpretation, clinical significance and future research are critically evaluated.

Pronoun interpretation in reading
Creators: name: Whitehead, Edward Lionel
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1983

description: This research investigated the comprehension of anaphoric pronouns in reading. Chapter, I explains the importance of this feature of text processing, and reviews the relevant psychological literature. One -important feature of pronoun interpretation is the fact that antecedents vary in accessibility in response to aspects of text content and structure; antecedents which are readily acessible to pronominal reference are said to be foregrounded. The most common theoretical explanation of foregrounding is the claim that foregrounded antecedents are held in working memory. The review also shows reasons why good and poor readers might differ in sensitivity to foregrounding. Experiments 1-3 investigated the effects on foregrounding of pronoun-antecedent distance and of topical continuity. It was found that distance had no effect on ease of pronoun assignment provided the intervening sentences were closely related to the antecedent. When the intervening sentences dealt with unrelated topics, pronoun interpretation became more difficult. The working memory explanation of foregrounding was investigated in Experiments 4-5, which found no evidence that foregrounding of an antecedent facilitated recognition memory for that antecedent. None of Experiments 1-5 found differences between the pronoun interpretation processes of good and poor readers. There then follows a critical discussion of the working memory theory, which argues that foregrounding may also be explicable by a theory stressing antecedent retrieval processes. Later experiments attempted to discriminate between these theories. Experiments 6-7 found that antecedent foregrounding was sensitive to the content of the pronoun sentence itself. Experiments 8-9 found that foregrounding of an incorrect antecedent did not hamper pronoun interpretation any more than neutral backgrounding. All the results of Experiments 4-9 contradict the working memory theory. It is concluded that the working memory theory of foregrounding is inadequate to explain the present results, and that an account of foregrounding based on antecedent retrieval processes is a plausible alternative.

description: Abstract

The Surveillance of surgical site infections (SSI) is a priority in our facility. In the Rhino-Laryngology department, the SSI incidence has significantly decreased since it joined the active surveillance network in 2006. The Aims are Calculate the incidence of surgical site infections and to identify risk factors for infections and Identify the risk factors associated with the occurrence of SSI. It’s a prospective study of surgical site infections (SSI) for analytical purposes. Data collection was carried out from 1st February to the 30th March 2019 with a follow-up up to 30 days. The SSI diagnosis was based on the CDC Atlanta criteria. The analysis of the data was carried out on the EPI-INFO6.04 software. A total of 326 interventions were included. The sex ratio was 0.93, the mean age was 34.9 +/- 18 years. 85.1% had an ASA score = 1, the average length of stay was 4.4 +/- 0.2 days. The percentage of patients reviewed on D30 was 93.5%. Two thirds of the interventions were contaminated clean interventions, and half had an NNIS = 0 score, no emergency intervention was performed, 14 patients contracted an SSI in an average time of 4 +/- 0.4 days, an overall SSI incidence rate of 4.3% (95% CI = [2.1 - 6.5], mean age of infected patients was 44+ /-17.2 years. The incidence rate was 41.7% for the ASA score 2 versus 2.9% for the ASA 1 score, and the incidence of infections was significantly greater when the Altemeier class was contaminated (8.5% versus 2.6%, p <0.01). Laminated on NNIS, the incidence rate varies from 3% for NNIS interventions 0 to 8% for NNIS interventions >1 (p<0.001). In Conclusion, The monitoring of SSI in ORL has highlighted risk factors that should be taken into account in order to improve the management and prevention of risks related to surgical care. However, the improvement of preventive measures must be pursued by influencing extrinsic risk factors. (Justify, Calibri 8)

THE COUPLING OF PERCEPTION AND ACTION IN REPRESENTATION
Creators: name: SYMES, EDWARD MICHAEL
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2003

description: This thesis examines how the objects that we visually perceive in the world are coupled to the actions that we make towards them. For example, a whole hand grasp might be coupled with an object like an apple, but not with an object like a pea. It has been claimed that the coupling of what we see and what we do is not simply associative, but is fundamental to the way the brain represents visual objects. More than association, it is thought that when an object is seen (even if there is no intention to interact with it), there is a partial and automatic activation of the networks in the brain that plan actions (such as reaches and grasps). The central aim of this thesis was to investigate how specific these partial action plans might be, and how specific the properties of objects that automatically activate them might be. In acknowledging that perception and action are dynamically intertwining processes (such that in catching a butterfly the eye and the hand cooperate with a fluid and seamless efficiency), it was supposed that these couplings of perception and action in the brain might be loosely constrained. That is, they should not be rigidly prescribed (such that a highly specific action is always and only coupled with a specific object property) but they should instead involve fairly general components of actions that can adapt to different situations. The experimental work examined the automatic coupling of simplistic left and right actions (e.g. key presses) to pictures of oriented objects. Typically a picture of an object was shown and the viewer responded as fast as possible to some object property that was not associated with action (such as its colour). Of interest was how the performance of these left or right responses related to the task irrelevant left or right orientation of the object. The coupling of a particular response to a particular orientation could be demonstrated by the response performance (speed and accuracy). The more tightly coupled a response was to a particular object orientation, the faster and more accurate it was. The results supported the idea of loosely constrained action plans. Thus it appeared that a range of different actions (even foot responses) could be coupled with an object's orientation. These actions were coupled by default to an object's X-Z orientation (e.g. orientation in the depth plane). In further reflecting a loosely constrained perception-action mechanism, these couplings were shown to change in different situations (e.g. when the object moved towards the viewer, or when a key press made the object move in a predictable way). It was concluded that the kinds of components of actions that are automatically activated when viewing an object are not very detailed or fixed, but are initially quite general and can change and become more specific when circumstances demand it.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The level of fishery catch in fish stock assessment models is nearly always treated as known with no bias and high precision. Recent findings with recreational fisheries in the U.S. challenge this assertion. Fishery assessment models need to evolve to address the uncertainty associated with catch time series. A prototype version of the Stock Synthesis (SS) assessment model (Methot and Wetzel, 2013) now incorporates a coefficient for catch calibration that operates on catch time series in essentially the same way that a catchability coefficient (q) operates on indices of stock abundance. The catch coefficient is implemented to be a fleet-specific estimable parameter that can be informed by a prior and can accommodate various time-varying protocols available in SS. The performance of SS with respect to this coefficient is investigated using simulated assessment data. Our evaluations focus on investigating the bias and imprecision of model results as the catchability coefficient is allowed to be estimated with varying biases and variances of its informative priors.

THE PRIMING OF VISUAL FEATURE INTEGRATION AND ILLUSORY CONJUNCTIONS
Creators: name: SMITH, GRAHAM DEREK
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1998

description: Whether non-spatial previewing can interact with the process of integrating visual features and thereby affect the formation of illusory conjunctions was studied. A series of ten experiments were undertaken that employed methods borrowed from the illusory conjunction and visual previewing paradigms. Participants reported the identities of two briefly presented target objects. Preview stimuli were presented prior to the to-be-reported target stimuli. The preview objects and target objects were colour-filled geometric shapes. The effects of two types of non-spatial previewing were investigated; feature previewing and conjunction previewing. In feature previewing the preview stimuli were congruent or incongruent with one of the target stimuli on a single stimulus dimension. The results suggest that feature previewing does not affect the production of illusory conjunctions. In conjunction previewing the preview display contains an object composed of two features that also appear in the subsequent target display. A congruent conjunction preview display contains an object that is identical to one of the target objects. An incongruent conjunction preview display contains an object composed of a colour and a shape that appear in different target objects. The results suggest that incongruent conjunction previews cause more illusory conjunctions than congruent conjunction previews do. Conjunction previews appear to priming of the process of visual feature integration. Alternative explanations of the results were ruled out by subsequent experiments. The finding of the conjunction preview effect has implications for the current theories of visual feature integration and illusory conjunctions; e.g., feature integration theory (Treisman 1990; Treisman & Gelade) and location uncertainty theory (Ashby, Prinzmetal, Ivry & Maddox, 1996; Prinzmetal &. Keysar, 1989).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish stock assessment models often rely on size- or age-specific observations that are assumed to be statistically independent of each other. A state-space assessment model that allow for correlations between age groups within years in the observation equation as well as in the process equation is presented and applied to data on four North Sea fish stocks using various correlation structures. In all cases the independence assumption is rejected, and the consequences of ignoring correlations is found to be quite severe - specifically for reported confidence bounds.

EMOTION PROCESSING IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: THE CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Creators: name: RADFORD, SHIRLEY ANN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: The purpose of this study is to extend the literature on recognition and identification of non-verbal communicative signals of emotion in those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. To date, there have been few studies in this area, yet emotion processing deficits may have an important effect on the quality of life of Alzheimer's patients and their families. The experimental condition consisted of a set of tasks involving face and prosody discrimination problems in which participants were asked to choose between a number of stimuli presented on cards (facial cues) or on audio-tape (prosody cues). In addition, a measure of general cognitive ability was taken. Firstly, it was found that, relative to a group of healthy older adults, performance on cognitive tasks was depressed, while performance on emotion processing tasks was not depressed to the same extent. Thus, the ability to recognise and identity non-verbal affect cues in emotional facial expression and emotional prosody was relatively preserved in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Secondly, no relationship was found in the Alzheimer disease group between performance on face recognition and prosody tasks. This evidence is consistent with the notion that the mechanisms responsible for discriminating emotional facial expression are dissociated from those involved in discriminating emotional prosody. However, these findings need to be interpreted with caution in view of the small sample size and low statistical power. Lastly, a number of post-study hypotheses were generated in relation to the Alzheimer disease group. These related to the number and type of errors made on tasks of face and prosody discrimination and suggestions were made regarding further investigation in this area. Finally, limitations of the study, implications for clinical practice, such as assessment and intervention focussing on preserved emotion processing ability and suggestions for future research are considered.

TOWARDS A NEW THEORY OF SOCIAL PERCEPTION: THE EFFECTS OF SEX AND SEXUALITY ON RAPE ATTRIBUTIONS
Creators: name: FARBUS, LOUISE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2004

description: Heterosexual male victims and female perpetrators tend to be omitted from rape perception research as well as legal and everyday notions of rape. Therefore this thesis examined the effects of sex and sexuality on rape attributions. Criticisms of social representations theory provided the rationale for a new theory of social perceptions and for combining methods normally associated with opposing epistemologies and ontological beliefs. A grounded theory derived from ten interviews revealed double standards in the way that men and women are labelled for the same behaviours, whereby female-perpetrated male rape was considered less serious than male-perpetrated rape. Discourse analysis of newspaper coverage of a case involving a female and two males accused of raping a woman also revealed double standards in the way the defendants were constructed. All of the defendants were constructed as deviant, but in ways that served to direct blame away from the males and towards the female. A 16 condition, multi-factorial. Internet-based experiment suggested that female perpetrators tend to be blamed more than males, and male victims tend to be blamed more than female victims. Younger participants and those high in rape myth acceptance (RMA) blamed victims more than older participants and those low in RMA. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

MEN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES WHO SEXUALLY OFFEND AND STAFF ATTRIBUTIONS ABOUT SEXUALLY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR
Creators: name: Yates, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: This study was to designed, in two parts, to investigate: 1. Whether the attributions about sexually abusive behaviour, made by staff in learning disabilities services, differed according to whether or not the perpetrator had a learning disability, and if these attributions served to hinder the identification, acknowledgement and reporting of sexually abusive behaviour performed by men with learning disabilities. 2. The number of clients referred to therapists in learning disabilities services, over a two year period, for sexually abusive behaviour, client and offence characteristics, and the referral process. Information was sought regarding therapists' perceived reasons for delayed referrals, and the impact this had on ease of treatment. A questionnaire employing vignettes was constructed to measure staff attributions, about offenders and their behaviour, on dimensions of impulsivity, level of understanding, sexual motivation, and the extent to which behaviour was influenced by the victim, and other personal and external factors. Results of the questionnaire were analysed using ANOVA. Significant differences in staff responses were found on all measures. Results suggest that peoples' perceptions of the perpetrator with a learning disability are less likely to invoke attributions of responsibility and blame and thus may serve to hinder the identification, acknowledgement and reporting of abusive behaviour. The results of the survey of therapists indicate that clients referred for sexually abusive behaviours share similar offence characteristics with offenders in the general population in terms of the range of behaviours exhibited, and multiple offending. These results also show that most referrals to therapists are delayed, and that the delay is . perceived to be due to staff not considering the behaviour to be 'primarily sexual' in nature, and 'excusing' the behaviour because of the individual's learning disability or 'other' personal characteristics. Links between the two parts of the study are drawn and these and other findings are discussed in relation to practice and implications for future research.

description: The search for alternative transparent electrodes to the commonly used indium tin oxide (ITO) in optoelectronic devices has led to solution-based approaches based on inkjet printing. As an additive manufacturing technique that allows drops to be positioned only where necessary, inkjet printing shows reduced waste of starting material compared to other methods such as spin coating. As a result, functional materials can be both coated and structured without the need for masks or lithographic pre-patterning of the substrate. For this contribution, we utilized a particle-free silver ink to produce a transparent electrode by inkjet printing. After printing, the silver ions were reduced to metallic silver by an argon plasma. The process takes place at low temperatures (ca. 40 – 50°C), making it suitable for use with flexible substrates, which are often temperature-sensitive. The printed silver layers show good electrical conductivity and optical transmittance, with a crystalline grain structure being formed and maintained during the metallization process. This structure forms a self-organized nanometer-size grid, whose structure allows light to pass through. Due to its nano-structured property, the haze of the electrode was investigated using a simple experimental setup based on a light source shining through the electrode and analyzing the size of the projected pattern. Such qualitative assessment can be a useful indication of the quality of the electrode and we provide details on how to replicate this setup. The final electrodes were implemented in solution-processed OLEDs, which showed bright luminance and overall low haze compared to ITO-based reference devices.

An Investigation into the Role of Subliminal Inputs in Placebo Response
Creators: name: Pearce, Sally A F
Publisher: name: Plymouth University

Subjects: Subliminal Priming
Placebo

description: According to the network theory of psychoneuroimmunology, (Hyland, 2011a), the placebo response is a short-term, problem solving response to a variety of inputs processed via the ‘infornet’. However, within the current infornet model of placebo response, these inputs are categorized as either conscious verbal inputs, or inputs learnt via traditional conditioning mechanisms. This thesis investigates the extent to which other ‘higher-order’ subliminal inputs may also play a part in determining placebo response. The findings presented here found no reliable effect of subliminal priming information on placebo response in a short-term placebo context. Further research is needed to determine if subliminally presented information is more likely to be used within a long-term placebo context. The lack of consistency in findings across this set of experiments supports replication criticisms leveled at the subliminal priming field, and the claim that differences in trivial contextual details may be the underlying cause of these inconsistencies. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are also discussed.
FEATURE BINDING IN VISUO-SPATIAL WORKING MEMORY
Creators: name: ELSLEY, JANE VICTORIA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth

description: Four series of experiments using a paradigm adapted from Prabhakaran at al. (2000) are presented exploring the characteristics of bound visuo-spatial representations in memory. This thesis was guided by the following theoretical questions: (1) Can location binding be demonstrated in a recognition paradigm? (2) What are the temporal dynamics of location binding? (3) Is location binding automatic, or rather, does it require attentional resources? (4) What are the products of location binding: Whole new objects or links between features that contribute in an asymmetrical manner? Series 1 addressed the first question through the demonstration of binding effects across two experiments. Series 1 was additionally informative with respect to the second question in demonstrating that binding emerged relatively early (within 250ms post stimulus offset) and could be maintained for at least four seconds. With regard to the automaticity with which visual and spatial features are integrated, and the characteristics of the resulting bound representations, three lines of evidence are reported. Firstly, by manipulating feature relevance, Series 2 demonstrated that binding may occur automatically when shapes are attended, but not when locations are attended. This finding is not easily compatible with the idea that location binding results in the creation of an entirely new construct in memory which would predict binding effects when either shapes or locations are attended. Secondly, it was demonstrated that increasing the amount of attention necessary for encoding the shape features enhanced the binding which took place when shapes only were attended (Experiment 3B) but had minimal effect on performance when locations only were attended (Experiment 3C). This suggests that while binding to location may occur automatically when shapes are the attended feature, the amount of attention allocated to those shapes may increase the size of the binding effect which ensues. Thirdly, it was demonstrated that the binding effect following attendance to both features was significantly reduced, but not eradicated under attentional load conditions (Experiment 4) suggesting that while binding to location may in part emerge automatically, bound representations may benefit from available attentional resources. The results are discussed in terms of a hierarchical structure to encoding in memory (e.g., Jiang et al., 2000) which suggests that the encoding of the spatial layout of the scene must occur prior to the encoding of what occupies those locations (see also Navon, 1977). We speculate that location binding in memory may be characterised by links formed between features in memory, while the feature information is itself stored in parallel (e.g., Wheeler & Treisman, 2002). In addition, the links may be unequally weighted, an aspect of binding which may arise as a result of the order of encoding visual and spatial features.
