Teaching climate change: understanding the intellectual and emotional challenges (2018)
Thesis
Bhagat, M. Teaching climate change: understanding the intellectual and emotional challenges. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253694

Introduction and Aims
This study aims to evaluate the relationships between emotions and learning in the context of climate change, a ‘wicked’ subject that has profound and worrying implications for the future. It explores barriers to engagement and... Read More about Teaching climate change: understanding the intellectual and emotional challenges.

Investigation of STM3071 as a potential regulator of cobalt transport in Salmonella enterica (2018)
Thesis
Piotrowska, A. A. Investigation of STM3071 as a potential regulator of cobalt transport in Salmonella enterica. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253543

Using bioinformatics we have identified stm3071 as a possible regulator of anaerobically induced genes involved in metal homeostasis (Price-Carter et al., 2001) and the aim of this study is to determine the function of stm3071 and define the conditio...

The trajectory to elite level: an investigation of the individual and environmental features of within career transitions in sport (2018)
Thesis
Andronikos, G. The trajectory to elite level: an investigation of the individual and environmental features of within career transitions in sport. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253325

While much of the ‘sport transitions’ literature focusses on the ‘end of career’, research focussing on within career transitions in sport has identified a number of challenging transitions, for example, the move from junior to senior sport. While th... Read More about The trajectory to elite level: an investigation of the individual and environmental features of within career transitions in sport.

Non-native Bullhead in Scotland: Molecular and Morphological Identification and Parasite Links with Native Fauna (2018)
Thesis
McLeish, J. Non-native Bullhead in Scotland: Molecular and Morphological Identification and Parasite Links with Native Fauna. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1253308

The arrival of a non-native species to has the potential to shape native communities by influencing ecological interactions such as predation, foraging, competition and disease transfer. A designation of invasive is applied to an introduced non-nativ... Read More about Non-native Bullhead in Scotland: Molecular and Morphological Identification and Parasite Links with Native Fauna.

The development of a numerical temperature algorithm to predict the indoor temperature of an electric vehicle's cabin space. (2018)
Thesis
Doyle, A. The development of a numerical temperature algorithm to predict the indoor temperature of an electric vehicle's cabin space. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1254444

Climate change is a significant issue in today’s society as countries work towards decarbonising the economic sectors that contribute to significant greenhouse gas emissions. The electric vehicle (EV) is proposed as a solution to reduce the level of...

Older men display elevated levels of senescence-associated exercise-responsive CD28null angiogenic T cells compared with younger men (2018)
Journal Article
Ross, M., Ingram, L., Taylor, G., Malone, E., Simpson, R. J., West, D., & Florida-James, G. (2018). Older men display elevated levels of senescence-associated exercise-responsive CD28null angiogenic T cells compared with younger men. Physiological Reports, 6(12), Article e13697. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.13697

Aging is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk. As a result of aging, endothelial dysfunction develops, partly due to a reduction in vascular regenerative ability. CD31+ T-cells (angiogenic T-cells; TANG) possess highly angiogenic capa...

The value of participating in British exploring society expeditions: a three year multi-cohort study (2018)
Journal Article
Allison, P., Martindale, R., Stott, T., Gray, S., Nash, C., Fraser, K., & Wang, J. (2018). The value of participating in British exploring society expeditions: a three year multi-cohort study. Acta Universitatis Carolinae: Kinanthropologica, 54(1), 5-15. https://doi.org/10.14712/23366052.2018.1

A primary aim of many expeditions is to facilitate personal development of young people and while there is much anecdotal evidence to support this aim, there is limited empirical work of varied quality that explores the specific nature of such benefi...

The Importance and Influence of a Successful Environment on Athletes’ Transition towards Elite Level: The case of Triathlon (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andronikos, G., Westbury, T., Kolyperas, D., & Martindale, R. (2018, June). The Importance and Influence of a Successful Environment on Athletes’ Transition towards Elite Level: The case of Triathlon. Paper presented at European Academy of Management 2018 (EURAM'18), Reykjavík, Iceland

Developing athlete talents into professional successful athletes has been a challenge across various nations, sports, and cultures. While research has flourished and strived to determine how talents are being identified and developed including the ch...

‘Living Rights’, rights claims, performative citizenship and young people – the right to vote in the Scottish independence referendum (2018)
Journal Article
Sanghera, G., Botterill, K., Hopkins, P., & Arshad, R. (2018). ‘Living Rights’, rights claims, performative citizenship and young people – the right to vote in the Scottish independence referendum. Citizenship Studies, 22(5), 540-555. https://doi.org/10.1080/13621025.2018.1484076

This paper examines the rights claims-making that young people engaged in during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum when the right to vote was extended to 16- and 17-year-olds for the first time in the UK. Understanding citizenship and rights... Read More about ‘Living Rights’, rights claims, performative citizenship and young people – the right to vote in the Scottish independence referendum.
