Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, J., Wu, Z., Thomson, S. L., & Weise, T. (2024, November). Frequency Fitness Assignment: Optimization without Bias for Good Solution outperforms Randomized Local Search on the Quadratic Assignment Problem. Paper presented at ECTA 2024: 16th International Conference on Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications, Porto, Portugal

The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the classical N P-hard tasks from operations research with a history of more than 65 years. It is often approached with heuristic algorithms and over the years, a multitude of such methods has been app...

Do Psychological Treatments for PTSD in Children and Young People Reduce Trauma- Related Appraisals? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2024)
Journal Article
Smith, C., Ford, C., Baldwin, G., Jensen, T. K., Karatzias, T., Skogbrott Birkeland, M., & Meiser-Stedman, R. (in press). Do Psychological Treatments for PTSD in Children and Young People Reduce Trauma- Related Appraisals? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Behaviour Research and Therapy,

Research is increasingly highlighting the role of negative trauma-related appraisals in child and adolescent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The cognitive model of PTSD claims that an essential mechanism of treatment is a reduction in these ap...

An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis exploring domestic abuse and football support: The role of supporter mood, sense of self, and family life (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Sime, P. J., & Murray, J. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis exploring domestic abuse and football support: The role of supporter mood, sense of self, and family life

The study aimed to investigate Scottish football (soccer) fans’ experiences of domestic abuse in relation to key matches. Key football matches, particularly ‘Old Firm’ matches in the Scottish context, attract considerable media attention, with major...
