Improved blood glucose control, cardiovascular health and empowerment in people attending X-PERT structured diabetes education
(2021-12-02)
The aim of the audit was to assess the change in key health markers in people with, or at risk of, diabetes who attended X-PERT structured diabetes education. Data from X-PERT programmes are entered into a central database. ...
A broad-scale spatial analysis of the environmental benefits of fertiliser closed periods implemented under the Nitrates Directive in Europe
(2021-12-01)
Nutrient pollution from agriculture has been an ongoing challenge for decades, contributing to numerous negative environmental impacts. In the European Union policies have been developed to address nutrient pollution, ...
Accessing specialist support to stop smoking in pregnancy: A qualitative study exploring engagement with UK‐based stop smoking services
(2021-12-01)
Objectives: Specialist stop smoking services can be effective for supporting women with smoking cessation during pregnancy, but uptake of these services is low. A novel theoretical approach was used for this research, ...
Factors influencing nurse retention within children’s palliative care
(2021-12-01)
Retention of staff presents major challenges within children’s palliative care; this has substantial implications for children, families and the nursing workforce. To address this, a programme was undertaken that provided ...
Escaping the Red Queen: Health as a corporate food marketing strategy
(2021-12-01)
Public health advocates highlight the role of corporate actors and food marketing in shaping diets and health. This study analyses insider-oriented communications in food industry magazines in the UK to analyse actions and ...
Memory for route and survey descriptions across the adult lifespan: The role of verbal and visuospatial working memory resources
(2021-12-01)
Spatial representations of an environment involve different perspectives and can derive from different inputs, including spatial descriptions. While it is well-established that memory of visually-encoded spatial representations ...
LeMMINGs. III. The e-MERLIN Legacy Survey of the Palomar sample. Exploring the origin of nuclear radio emission in active and inactive galaxies through the [O III] -- radio connection
(2021-12-01)
What determines the nuclear radio emission in local galaxies? To address this question, we combine optical [O iii] line emission, robust black hole (BH) mass estimates, and high-resolution e-MERLIN 1.5-GHz data, from the ...
Heterogeneity of cell membrane structure studied by single molecule tracking
(2021-12-01)
Heterogeneity in cell membrane structure, typified by microdomains with different biophysical and biochemical properties, is thought to impact on a variety of cell functions. Integral membrane proteins act as nanometre-sized ...
Dynamics of relativistic radio jets in asymmetric environments
(2021-12-01)
We have carried out relativistic three-dimensional simulations of high-power radio sources propagating into asymmetric cluster environments. We offset the environment by 0 or 1 core radii (equal to 144 kpc), and incline ...
