Book Chapter
Emerton, L., Huxham, M., Bournazel, J., & Kumara, M. P. (2016). Valuing Ecosystems as an Economic Part of Climate-Compatible Development Infrastructure in Coastal Zones of Kenya & Sri Lanka. In Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation in Practice (23-43). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43633-3_2

Even though ‘green’ options for addressing the impacts of climate
change have gained in currency over recent years, they are yet to be fully mainstreamed into development policy and practice. One important reason is the lack of economic evidence as...

Glucose hypometabolism is a prominent feature of the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Disease progression is associated with a reduction in glucose transporters in both neurons and endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier. Howeve...

Prolonged, uninterrupted periods of sedentary time may be associated with increased risk of Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality even if the minimum recommended levels of daily physical activity are achieved. It is reporte... Read More about School-based Interventions to Reduce Sedentary Behaviour in Children: A Systematic Review.

‘Soft’ Policing in Rural Scotland (2016)
Journal Article
Wooff, A. (2017). ‘Soft’ Policing in Rural Scotland. Policing, 11(2), 123-131. https://doi.org/10.1093/police/paw031

‘Soft’ policing focuses on the non-coercive elements of policing, typically community engagement, situated knowledge and negotiated order maintenance. Although soft policing as a philosophy has been critiqued, recent work by McCarthy (2014. “Soft” Po... Read More about ‘Soft’ Policing in Rural Scotland.

Effect of Novel, School-Based High-Intensity Interval Training (HIT) on Cardiometabolic Health in Adolescents: Project FFAB (Fun Fast Activity Blasts) - An Exploratory Controlled Before-And-After Trial (2016)
Journal Article
Weston, K. L., Azevedo, L. B., Bock, S., Weston, M., George, K. P., & Batterham, A. M. (2016). Effect of Novel, School-Based High-Intensity Interval Training (HIT) on Cardiometabolic Health in Adolescents: Project FFAB (Fun Fast Activity Blasts) - An Exploratory Controlled Before-And-After Trial. PLOS ONE, 11(8), e0159116. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0159116

Background
Low-volume high-intensity interval training holds promise for cardiometabolic health promotion in adolescents, but sustainable interventions must be practical and engaging. We examined the effect of a school-based multi-activity low-volum...

PLOS ONE, 11(8), Article e0160268. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0160268

Coral reefs worldwide are affected by increasing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and organic carbon (DOC) concentrations due to ocean acidification (OA) and coastal eutrophication. These two stressors can occur simultaneously, particularly in near-s...
