Year: 2024

description: Within the wider team of Student Recruitment Marketing and Admissions, our teams of undergraduate recruitment, postgraduate recruitment and International recruitment work collaboratively to make use of CampusConnect as a conversion tool. This is an app which helps develop and cultivate bespoke student communities, through chat groups, live events, networking and the pushing out of targeted content. Current students who work as ambassadors on CampusConnect are crucial in this, guiding prospective students and inspiring them to study here.


• The chat groups are a vital part of the platform, and across our teams here at LJMU, we ensure there is a group for all prospective students. We have peer-led groups that cover a range of areas: courses, accommodations, hobbies, interests and community groups.

• The student community is vital to student recruitment, but our staff community is important too – through collaborating on CampusConnect, we work across teams with people we may not otherwise have met, allowing good networking opportunities. IT Services and CRM play a big part in the running of the app too.



Proposed structure:


• Overview of CampusConnect

• The role of our current students and the coordination of these student ambassadors



CampusConnect ‘success stories’ – a panel of current students to speak and give their experiences. Both home and international ambassadors to share their points of view, from using the app as prospective students to now working as ambassadors on the platform


• How we want to develop our use of CampusConnect going forward – student ambassadors to play a bigger role in starting conversations so nobody feels uncomfortable on the app, pushing out targeted content at key points in the cycle, working with other teams to coordinate Q&A sessions, for example accommodation

• Any questions/comments

Session 1: Development of game-based learning resources for teaching chemical literacy using AI Jon Ashley, Faculty

description: The use of AI in academia represents a unique opportunity for teachers without prior programming knowledge to develop new blended learning resources with the aim of supplementing student learning. The use of game-based learning resources has been shown to help improve accessibility to learning and provide students with a safe and private environment, in which they can make mistakes without fear of failure. This allows students to develop their skills in a fun and engaging way. In chemistry-based courses, students are often required to rote learn certain concepts such as organic functional groups, which they often struggle with or lack motivation to memorize. Students can lack confidence in interpreting and extracting information from chemical structures such as molecular weights and polarity.


In this project, we developed several online game-based resources to supplement student learning, encourage chemical literacy and improve learning outcomes on chemistry-based modules. Using ChatGPT, I developed a series of online games including an organic chemistry functional groups flashcard quiz where students identify organic functional groups, a chemical formula game where students must input the chemical formula of a chemical structure to reveal a hidden letter of a chemical element and a game that helps students predict polarity of organic compounds. The games incorporated features such as lives, point scoring and high scores to allow students to get instant feedback and improve over time.


Students were surveyed on their attitudes towards gaming and game-based learning resources and given access to the website. Students were also asked to evaluate the online games to determine the effectiveness of game-based learning in helping students become chemically literate. The results of this study will help to improve the use of game-based learning and expand the online games to other areas of chemistry such as data interpretation of analytical data and calculations.

Year: 2024

description: A successful transition into Higher Education plays a critical part in supporting students to thrive and progress within university. However, within the current climate, students from disadvantaged backgrounds are at an even greater risk of leaving Higher Education than in previous years. Consequently, understanding the nuances around how students from various backgrounds feel during their transition to LJMU could be pivotal in understanding the potential impacts on continuation rates and achievement.


LJMU designed the First Year Experience Survey (FYES) for the purpose of gaining more insight into the student cohort makeup, their experience of transition to university and their first months studying on the programme. The FYES is an institutional survey sent to all foundation and first year students during their second semester of study. First introduced in the academic year 2021/2022, we now have three years’ worth of data providing a wealth of information.


In this presentation, we will explore this rich data beyond what is covered in the annual institutional reports. We will aim to increase our understanding of the experiences of students from across a wide variety of demographic backgrounds when joining LJMU and the potential risks to continuation and achievement. The conclusion of the presentation will explore what we can do at LJMU to provide better and more targeted support, and to ultimately create an equally safe and welcoming community for all of our students.

description: During its historical life, the Caspian Sea has always been a safe place for many races, people, and governments. Unfortunately, humanity does not appreciate this valuable water zone and steps away consciously or unknowingly on the path to its destruction and demolition. Taking the path in this way is equal to obliterating the roots of the present generation and future generations. With the aim of evaluating the environmental security structure of the Caspian Sea, this research examines a new legal framework for this water zone. Moreover, the research also argued that the Caspian requires effective political and legal decision-making to achieve its ideal state both environmentally and economically or socially. Until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Caspian Sea was dominated by the two governments of Iran and the Soviet Union. The intense asymmetry between power and resources between the two countries led to the unofficial and actual control of the region in the hands of the Soviet Union.

description: Die Magdeburger Schöppenchronik ist eine herausragende Geschichtsquelle, gerade auch für die Rechtsgeschichte. Den Grundstock (bis 1372) verfasste ein Schreiber des Magdeburger Schöffenstuhls für dieses Spruchkolleg. Ausgangspunkt der Überlieferung ist eine bis 1468 fortgesetzte Fassung in der Handschrift Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Ms. Boruss. fol. 172. Am Anfang des Beitrags steht ein Blick auf die Bemühungen im 19. Jahrhundert, das Werk herauszugeben, und eine Kritik der 1869 erschienenen Ausgabe Janickes. Bei seiner Nennung von Verfassernamen ist Skepsis geboten. Alles andere als gesichertes Wissen ist, dass Heinrich von Lammesspringe tatsächlich der erste Autor war. Es wird dann knapp auf die Quellenbenutzung der Schöppenchronik eingegangen. Bei der Interpretation der sächsisch akzentuierten Reichs-, Bischofs- und Stadtgeschichte werden die Aspekte des Sachsen-Diskurses und der Einheit von Recht und Geschichte betont. Als „Einladung zur Lektüre“ gibt es zu den Themen Pest, Gralsfest und Wunderzeichen drei Beispiele für den kulturgeschichtlichen Quellenwert des Geschichtswerks. Das Verfasserlexikon ging von zehn Handschriften aus, nun können 34 Textzeugen genannt werden.

description: Frauen gehen weniger häufig einer Erwerbsarbeit nach als Männer, arbeiten häufiger in Teilzeit, in prekären und atypischen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen. Und sie sind unterrepräsentiert in Führungspositionen. Trotz besserer Bildungsabschlüsse von Mädchen und Frauen ist der Arbeitsmarkt hierzulande stark geschlechtshierarchisch segregiert. Immer noch gibt es einen Gender Pay Gap, einen Gender Care Gap und Gender Pension Gap. Im europäischen Ländervergleich schneidet Deutschland bei diesen Indikatoren besonders schlecht ab. Schuld sind nicht zuletzt Strukturen in den Unternehmen, die echte Gleichstellung behindern. In der 19. Folge von „Justitias Töchter – der Podcast zu feministischer Rechtspolitik“ geht es darum, wie und ob Recht dazu beitragen kann, diese Strukturen zu ändern. Der Deutsche Juristinnenbund e.V. hat unlängst eine innovative Konzeption für ein Gleichstellungsgesetz für die Privatwirtschaft vorgelegt. Über Ideen dieser Konzeption sprechen die Moderatorinnen, die Juristinnen Selma Gather und Dr. Dana Valentiner, mit der Arbeitsrechtlerin Dr. Isabell Hensel. Es geht um die Verpflichtung zur Selbstverpflichtung und die Frage, wie und ob mit Recht auch der Mentalitätswandel bewirkt werden kann, der für eine geschlechtergerechte Unternehmenskultur notwendig ist. In den feministischen Fundstücken werden dieses Mal zwei Persönlichkeiten, ein Buch und ein Dokumentarfilm empfohlen.

description: Bubbling is commonly used in pyrometallurgical vessels to enhance mass and heat transfer. These processes can be difficult to monitor because of the severe operating conditions associated with these processes. Cold modeling experiments have been performed to analyze all the signals of the bubble flow inside a cylindrical vessel. The inner diameter and height of the vessel are 420 mm and 500 mm respectively, representing a 1/10th scale steel ladle. The height of water was kept 210 mm to simulate liquid steel; and the depth of motor oil (SAE 20, density ρ=0.85x10- 3kg/m3) which simulated slag, varied from 5 mm to 20 mm in 5 mm increments. The color of the oil was light brown and could be easily discriminated from the water by the naked eye. Compressed air was injected into the bath through a 3-mm nozzle flush at the bottom of the vessel at flow rate varied from 2.0 to 20.0 lpm at 2.0 lpm intervals. The air pressure was fixed to 200.0kPa at the exit of a compressed gas tank and the air flow rate was controlled by a standard rotameter with an accuracy of 3%. A digital video camera was used to record images (960x720 pixels) at 15 frames per second, and an accelerometer was installed on the outside wall of the vessel to collect the vibration signals.

Downshifter families' housing and homes: an exploration of lifestyle choice and housing experience
Creators: name: Stone, Wendy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: 'Downshifting' describes the phenomenon of people in the contemporary western world who voluntarily reduce their income and consumption to improve their life quality. It is estimated that around a quarter of Australians of working age have voluntarily reduced their incomes and spending (other than retirement). Family life is identified as a primary motivator for downshifting, yet just what this means is still to be explored. As well, reduced income associated with downshifting is likely to have significant implications for the capacity of households to negotiate an unequal housing system and for experiences of both housing and home. However, relationships between downshifting, housing and home also remain unexplored. This research seeks to address these key knowledge gaps. Drawing downshifting, family life and housing experience together, it asks: how does downshifting, understood as a way of living or ‘lifestyle’, relate to the housing experiences and meaning of home of families with dependent children who have downshifted? The downshifting and family values and priorities, the lived housing experiences and circumstances and the influences and practices which ‘make’ downshifter family homes meaningful, among 25 families interviewed across metropolitan and rural Victoria for this research, form the foci of analysis in this interpretive, qualitative study. Findings indicate that despite differences in the extent to which downshifter families are alternative, their financial wealth or residential location, common to all is a desire for a high level of control over the way their lives are lived, coupled with ‘time over money’ values, in many cases motivated by a prioritisation of family life. The implications of this for housing experience and the meaning of home are diverse and, in many cases, substantial. While home ownership remains a preferred tenure among this population, downshifter families’ housing pathways and circumstances vary in the extent to which they enable control and facilitate security. Relationships – between family, with the community, and with the environment – are found to be fundamentally important to the ways downshifter families ‘make’ their homes meaningful. The findings of this research further our understanding of the downshifting phenomenon, they draw attention to the importance of housing to work life policy discourse and they contribute to our understandings of the relationship between lifestyle choice and housing experience within the sociology of housing literature. They lend support to the argument that, within late modernity, housing and home form an important medium for lifestyle choice.

More than the Radical Right Gender Gap? How masculine feelings of group threat influence voter intentions on the left and the right in Germany

description: While the radical right gender gap – men are more likely to vote for far-right parties than women – has been a well-documented phenomenon, gender perspectives have seldom been included in theories that try to explain the rise of far-right politics in western-style democracies. A growing corpus of literature points to the relevance of anti-feminist and masculist ideologies as narrative bridges between public and far-right discourses. Masculism appeals to gendered grievances of men, particularly perceived cultural crises they face regarding male role norms, identities, and the acceptance of so-called “real men” in society. While far-right parties – e.g. the AfD – openly appeal to these masculist identity politics, progressive parties – e.g. the Greens – usually take pro-feminist stances focused on gender injustices primarily experienced by women and gender minorities. These circumstances outline the emergence of a gendered political cleavage with the potential to impact democratic discourse and gender relations well beyond differing voting behavior.

The presentation will build on findings achieved with a new measurement tool for masculine feelings of threat that links masculist narratives of the supposed precarious status of “real” men and masculinities with the measurement of negative group-related emotions. It will focus on the impact of masculine feelings of group threat on voting behavior both on the right and the left, and how these influence gender differences. The models will also account for established predictors like perceived general marginalization and economic grievances. The analyses are based on a representative survey of the adult population in Germany above the age of 18 (MiD 2023), which was collected as part of the MOTRA research network.

description: Social contracts and state fragility represent two sides of one coin. The former concept highlights that governments need to deliver three “Ps”— protection , provision , and political participation —to be acceptable for societies, whereas the latter argues that states can fail due to lack of authority (inhibiting protection), capacity (inhibiting provision), or legitimacy . Defunct social contracts often lead to popular unrest. Using empirical evidence from the Middle East and North Africa, we demonstrate how different notions of state fragility lead to different kinds of grievances and how they can be remedied by measures of social protection. Social protection is always a key element of government provision and hence a cornerstone of all social contracts. It can most easily counteract grievances that were triggered by decreasing provision (e.g., after subsidy reforms in Iran and Morocco) but also partially substitute for deficient protection (e.g., by the Palestinian National Authority, in pre-2011 Yemen) or participation (information campaign accompanying Moroccan subsidy cut; participatory set-ups for cash-for-work programmes in Jordan). It can even help maintain a minimum of state–society relations in states defunct in all three Ps (e.g., Yemen). Hence, social protection can be a powerful instrument to reduce state fragility and mend social contracts. Yet, to be effective, it needs to address grievances in an inclusive, rule-based, and non-discriminatory way. In addition, to gain legitimacy, governments should assume responsibility over social protection instead of outsourcing it to foreign donors.

description: This study deals with the influence of heterotrophic growth on autotrophic nitrogen removal from wastewater in a granular sludge reactor. A mathematical model was set-up including autotrophic and heterotrophic growth and decay in the granules from a partial nitritation-anammox process. A distinction between heterotrophic bacteria was made based on the electron acceptor (dissolved oxygen, nitrite or nitrate) on which they grow, while the nitrogen gas produced was ‘labelled’ to retrieve its origin, from anammox or heterotrophic bacteria. Taking into account heterotrophic growth resulted in a lower initial nitrogen removal, but in a higher steady state nitrogen removal compared with a model in which heterotrophic growth was neglected. The anammox activity is related with the fact that heterotrophs initially use nitrite as electron acceptor, but when they switch to nitrate the produced nitrite can be used by anammox bacteria. Increased anammox activity in the presence of heterotrophs, therefore, resulted in a marginally increased N2 production at steady state. Heterotrophic denitrification of nitrate to nitrite also explains why small amounts of organic substrate present in the influent positively affect the maximum nitrogen removal capacity. However, the process efficiency deteriorates once the amount of organic substrate in the influent exceeds a certain threshold. The bulk oxygen concentration and the granule size have a dual effect on the autotrophic nitrogen removal efficiency. Besides, the maximum nitrogen removal efficiency decreases and the corresponding optimal bulk oxygen concentration increases with increasing granule size.

The model of the RIW is a hybrid between an organized multi-layers, hierarchical pyramid and a Network of networks [NNs], springing a fertile pattern for innovative political and social organizations. In this introductory paper, we apply our original scheme introduced with the so called “CircÓs® OpenJournalism” into a famous Italian journalist's blog, currently maintained on Wordpress [Rivoluzione Italiana], determining a swap to a triple helix governed genetic growing new ecosystem.
Stock Price Prediction Using Deep Learning with GRU (Gated Recurrent Units) and Moving Average Algorithm

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: A crucial component of financial analysis is stock market prediction, where precise forecasting canassist investors in making well-informed choices and optimizing returns. Numerous factors, including globalevents, economic policies, and market sentiment, all have an impact on the stock market's extreme volatility.Artificial intelligence-based approaches are a promising solution because traditional methods frequently failto capture these intricate dependencies. This project presents a deep learning-based stock prediction systemthat uses the Moving Average and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) algorithms to predict stock prices withhigh accuracy. The system helps traders, analysts, and researchers reduce financial risks by analyzinghistorical stock data, identifying significant patterns, and forecasting future stock trends. The project uses apotent recurrent neural network (RNN) variant called GRU, which effectively handles sequential stock databy capturing long-term dependencies and lowering computational complexity, in place of traditionalstatistical models. The Moving Average algorithm is used to enhance trend identification and even out stockprice swings. The system ensures current market information by retrieving historical and real-time stockdata from Yahoo Finance (yfinance). To increase prediction accuracy, the model is subjected to datapreprocessing methods such as normalization and error reduction. Because the closing price has a biginfluence on the opening price the next day, it is mostly used as the key feature for prediction. TensorFlowoptimizes the training process, and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is used to assess performance in order toreduce deviations.

description: This article presents an uncomplicated compact introduction to the practical mechanics of physics in video games. Since generating interactive dynamic scenarios is a challenging and rewarding task that requires not only the mimicking of real-world movement, but also performing it in real-time using limited resources. We explain how in practice current approaches exploit the Newtonian laws in conjunction with numerous optimization, visual tricks, and animation mixing to meet the ever growing demands of realistic video games. We provide a beginner's overview of the fundamental principles, limitations, and pitfalls when implementing an initial physics-based game simulator from scratch. We explain simple integration methods, obstacle collision, interaction, and stability issues. We use a best-friend no worry approach for explaining principles based on real-world examples to illustrate the uncomplicated underlying mechanics that are common in most physics-based game simulations. We show results of how a simplified rigid body simulator works in different dynamic scenarios with trade-offs between accuracy, performance (i.e., computational speed), and realism, that allows the developer to adjust realism for overhead demands accordingly (e.g., in hand-held games compared to high-end console games).

description: This article presents an uncomplicated compact introduction to the practical mechanics of physics in video games.
Since generating interacting real-time dynamic scenarios is a challenging and rewarding task that requires not
only mimicking the real-world movement, but also performing it in real-time with limited resources. Prior work
exploits Newtonian methods in conjunction with numerous optimisations, visual tricks, and mixing in small set of animations. In this paper, we present a beginner's overview of the fundamental principles, limitations, and pitfalls when implementing an initial physics-based game simulator from scratch. We explain simple integration methods, obstacle collision and interaction, and stability issues. We use a best-friend no worry's technique
with examples for illustrating the uncomplicated underlying mechanics that are common in most simulations. We show results of how a rigid body simulator works in different dynamic scenarios with trade-offs between accuracy, performance (i.e., computational speed), and realism, which can be used to adjust the visual realism and overhead demands accordingly (i.e., for hand-held device games in contrast to high end console games).

description: The present study extends previous research on narcissism and romantic attraction by investigating the verbal attractiveness of narcissists. I asked 84 female raters to read and rate 5 written self-descriptions each out of a sample of 41 male targets that varied in degree of narcissism. My design created a double-nested data set that I analyzed via multilevel models. In contrast to my hypothesis, neither grandiose narcissism nor vulnerable narcissism of a man correlated positively with women’s ratings of his written self-description, in terms of short-term attractiveness, long-term attractiveness, or confidence. Narcissists might therefore, only be more romantically attractive than non-narcissists in real-life situations (as found by Dufner, Rauthmann, Czarna, & Denissen, 2013) but not online or via text-communication. My findings furthermore suggest that other-rated confidence is predictive for the other-rated attractiveness of a target, but neither narcissism nor self-rated self-esteem of a target influenced other-rated confidence in my sample. However, confirmation of the findings in a high stakes context is required.
A quantum bridge between right and left hemisphere genius: a novel and exegesis
Creators: name: Banagan, Robert
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This practice-led PhD consists of two elements-a novel titled Saoradh and an accompanying exegesis which discusses the processes, techniques, methods and creative pathways utilised when producing the novel. The novel is set in the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland, from the 1920s to the 1950s and follows the paths of characters dealing with profound aspects of the human condition. The exegesis interrogates the practice of creation of the novel through five distinct perspectives; character versus plot, structure, landscape, narration and creative process. The novel’s inception, creation and production is tracked, both in real time and through reflective practice, offering new insights into ways of working for the Creative Writing student and practitioner. The reflection on practice is grounded in a psychological model that is compatible with literary models of textual analysis. Creative practice is in turn embedded in a larger conceptual matrix; the quantum field. As demonstrated by the character of Rory in the novel, the proposition of separation between the functional aspects of the brain’s left hemisphere and the creative possibilities of interplay between the right hemisphere and the quantum field are put forth. The novel is held up for comparison to the works of other authors, to provide alternative approaches however, the focus of the exegesis is always on my own practice of creative writing.

description: This article presents an uncomplicated compact introduction to the practical mechanics of physics in video games. Since generating interactive dynamic scenarios is a challenging and rewarding task that requires not only the mimicking of real-world movement, but also performing it in real-time using limited resources. We explain how in practice current approaches exploit the Newtonian laws in conjunction with numerous optimization, visual tricks, and animation mixing to meet the ever growing demands of realistic video games. We provide a beginner's overview of the fundamental principles, limitations, and pitfalls when implementing an initial physics-based game simulator from scratch. We explain simple integration methods, obstacle collision, interaction, and stability issues. We use a best-friend no worry approach for explaining principles based on real-world examples to illustrate the uncomplicated underlying mechanics that are common in most physics-based game simulations. We show results of how a simplified rigid body simulator works in different dynamic scenarios with trade-offs between accuracy, performance (i.e., computational speed), and realism, that allows the developer to adjust realism for overhead demands accordingly (e.g., in hand-held games compared to high-end console games).
