This study investigates the integration of biochar production with CCS as a hybrid biomass-based CDR pathway that could enhance net carbon sequestration while reducing pyrolysis-related CO2 emissions. Biochar and BECCS are often treated as separate options, even though they rely on similar biomass supply …

Futsal has become a prominent research focus, both as an individual sport and due to its unique potential for coaches enhancing football Talent Development (TD). This paper explores connections between game formats and the potential benefits of futsal to football through semi-structured interviews with …

Self-assessment is increasingly used in childcare, which requires reflection on its goals and validity. In the current mixed-methods study, we investigated stakeholders’ views on the aims, possible risks and content validity of self-assessment in the context of centre-based childcare (ECEC and afterschool …

The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) has been widely used to conceptualise changes in how individuals experience cultural difference, typically described as a progression from ethnocentric toward ethnorelative orientations. While the model’s value is considerable, its common interpretation …

Marine biodiversity is increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution, habitat degradation, and overexploitation, highlighting the need for accurate and efficient monitoring of seafloor habitats. Traditional methods of habitat classification and species identification are time-consuming, labour-intensive, …

Smartphones and smartwatches are ever-present in daily life, and provide a rich source of information on their users' behaviour. In particular, digital traces derived from the phone's embedded movement sensors present an opportunity for a forensic investigator to gain insight into a person's physical …

This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

In recent years, care for people with severe mental illnesses (SMI) has shifted from institutional to recovery-based treatment in which informal caregivers often have an important role. However, their increased involvement has elevated issues such as role strain or burden of care, which indicates that …
