Terrorism is a phenomenon which is constantly transforming and evolving, resulting in a plethora of research aiming to better understand it. More recently, as media has become globalised, there has been a surge of research into the relationship between terrorism and the media. However, there is a lack of studies comparing media representations of terrorist groups from two separate eras and ‘waves of terrorism’ (Rapoport, 2013). This research aims to fill this gap by examining the discourse used in newspapers to construct representations of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This research used a qualitative methodology, discourse analysis to look at words and their meaning. Data was collected, for the analysis from both The Guardian and the Daily Mail newspapers. The articles were analysed using NVIVO. Differences were identified in the discourse used to represent terrorist groups in 2017 from those used in 1975. In 2017, newspapers were more likely to label the perpetrators as ‘sick’ and the attack as a ‘terrorist’ attack, discussing the victim’s injuries using more violent terminology. While 1975 newspapers were more likely to comment on political reasoning and ideology. An increased presence of sensationalisation, in the 2017 newspapers, seems to suggest a possible shift towards sensationalising terrorist events. More research is now needed on a larger scale, to consider if these changes in discourse occur more widely, and to examine what impact they have on public perception.

The development of legal principles which arise from judicial decisions, forming the common law, are often criticised for their apparent rigidity. The role of counteracting this strict nature has traditionally been filled by equity, reactive to the circumstances of those who come before the law. This position of equity, counterbalancing the oftentimes unfair rigours of strict law, can be observed notably in the administration of equitable remedies. Nonetheless, the following analysis identifies that equitable remedies are perhaps not as flexible as they are commonly perceived. Indeed, equitable remedies are necessarily both prescriptive and vague in parts in order to mitigate otherwise unfair outcomes. This suggests that the common law and equity are achieving unexpected forms of alignment, which may eventually prompt them to become indistinguishable. Crucially, this insight presents a new benchmark for the mechanisms of justice, which requires a balance between reliability and fairness.

The workforce of the UK is under unprecedented strain because of the COVID-19 pandemic where many are forced to work from home. Whilst work from home has been a longstanding part of flexible working arrangements and a key part of the CIPD push for ‘good work’, it was never intended to be the only way that many work. The research suggests that there is a difference between male and female experiences and the existing literature focuses on female experiences of working from home especially when having the additional responsibility of parenthood. The lack of research into the male perspective can be largely attributed to the lack of working from home in this demographic before the pandemic. Therefore, this paper seeks to start and address this fundamental gap in the literature at a time when far more within this demographic are working from home. The objective of the paper is to provide understanding of the lived experiences of this key demographic, fathers, and despite it being under phenomena circumstances, the research aims to begin an important discussion around how work from home affects fathers as well as mothers. We find ourselves in unprecedented times and so the method used was semi-structured, video conference facilitated, interviews which allowed for in-depth qualitative data collection following an interpretative phenomenological approach. Therefore, the method of data analysis was an interpretative phenomenological analysis which, due to the focus on lived experiences, allowed the voice of the participants to remain and for their interpretation of their experience to be the findings of the study. A broad theme, superordinate and subordinate themes were developed through this analysis technique. The central theme of challenging work-life balance was developed as well as 6 superordinate themes and 9 subordinate themes. This paper brings together five fathers experiences of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows that these men found it hard to find balance in a world of blurred lines; this impacted them physically and mentally and put unique strain on their relationships. This study is a base for further research and an ongoing discussion around how the pandemic has changed the way the economy works and therefore begins to plug some key gaps within the existing literature.

A study in response to findings the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students enrolled on education courses at a Northern University, are over-represented in Fitness-to-Practice (FTP) investigations. Referrals to FTP are intended to rectify the underperformance of students. As a phenomenon, it replicates trends across education and the workplace, explained by capital, racial discomfort and structural inequality. In this study, the experiences BAME students on placement, in education settings, are applied to provide insights into the disparity in FTP referrals. To capture data relating to this, a phenomenological approach was taken, using semi-structured interviews to capture subjective first-person accounts from the target sample. These were evaluated using thematic analysis, with the finding considered using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a lens.The findings demonstrated two opposing accounts that were united by their conception of racial identity. The research found that BAME students’ placement experiences may be in response to an intersectional coherence of race and the status of the role they occupy within the placement. A clear link between FTP and placement experiences could not be established, but the CRT perspective points to issues with the conception of racism, white neutrality and supremacy active in BAME students’ placement settings.

IntroductionGlioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is an extremely aggressive form of glioma tumour. The characteristically invasive properties of GBM contribute to the poor prognosis in suffers. This study focuses on the therapeutic potential of four anti-migratory drugs - 6-bromo- indirubin-3’oxime (BIO), CCG-1423, Latrunculin A (LAT A) and Lithium Chloride (LiCl), in vitro. The migration distances of migrating GBM cells and cell circularity for each treatment and an untreated control were measured and statistically analysed.MethodsGBM spheroids of the U251 cell line were treated with BIO, CCG-1423, LAT A or LiCl plus an untreated control in preparation for this study. These were sectioned using immunohistochemical techniques and scanned prior to the study using QuPath. Cell migration was measured from the perimeter of the tumour spheroid to the edge of the migrating cell. Cell circularity was obtained using the ‘cell circularity index’ function. The cell circularity of the migrating cells was obtained separately to the cell circularity of the cells within the spheroid. This repeated for each section for each spheroid for each study. The data obtained was analysed in SPSS.ResultsEach of the treatments showed significant statistical differences compared the control spheroid for the migration distance measurements. LAT A was shown to have the greatest effect in decreasing the migration distances. The analysis of the cell circularity indicated that the migrated cells were significantly more rounded than the tumour cells for each treatment. The ‘cell circularity index’ indicated the migrated cells were more rounded than those within the tumour spheroid across each of the treatments.ConclusionThe cell migration distance study suggests further study, to analyse the effects of these drugs in vivo, as they each demonstrated anti-migratory effects on the GBM cells. The ‘cell circularity index’ study should be amended to more accurately represent the changes in morphology during GBM cell migration.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是一种极具侵袭性的胶质瘤。GBM特有的侵袭性导致患者预后不良。本研究主要对6-溴-靛玉红-3 '肟(BIO)、CCG-1423、Latrunculin A (LAT A)和氯化锂(LiCl)四种抗迁移药物的体外治疗潜力进行了研究。测量每次处理和未处理对照的迁移GBM细胞的迁移距离和细胞圆度并进行统计分析。方法分别用BIO、CCG-1423、LAT A或LiCl处理U251细胞系的gbm球体，并加未处理的对照，为本研究做准备。使用免疫组织化学技术对其进行切片，并在研究前使用QuPath进行扫描。从肿瘤球体的周长到迁移细胞的边缘测量细胞迁移。细胞圆度通过“细胞圆度指数”函数得到。将迁移细胞的细胞圆度与球体内细胞的细胞圆度分开计算。在每个研究的每个球体的每个部分都重复这个过程。所得数据在SPSS软件中进行分析。结果与对照球相比，各处理在迁移距离测量上均有显著的统计学差异。LAT A对减小迁移距离的影响最大。细胞圆度分析表明，每次治疗后，迁移细胞明显比肿瘤细胞更圆。“细胞圆形指数”表明，在每次治疗中，迁移的细胞比肿瘤球体内的细胞更圆。结论细胞迁移距离的研究表明，这两种药物均对GBM细胞具有抗迁移作用，值得进一步研究以分析其在体内的作用。“细胞循环指数”研究应进行修改，以更准确地反映GBM细胞迁移过程中的形态学变化。

This research reviews the rural nature of Chinese society and analyses the elements that engage viewers in the Sannong videos from this perspective. Urban dwellers, rural dwellers and rural migrants have all been greatly affected by the rapid urbanisation. The hukou system has led to a dichotomy between urban and rural China and a stigmatised image of peasants and the countryside. In this environment , people lost their sense of belonging and became nostalgic. For the first time since the spread of social media to rural dwellers and rural migrants, peasant groups have had the opportunity to reconstruct the image of peasants and the countryside as the protagonists of a narrative. In this study, 10 videos were selected from each of the two distinctive video accounts to compare and analyse their content. The common features of the two accounts can be considered as the reason for the popularity of the Sannong videos. In addition to the fact that a large number of viewers like the Sannong videos, this phenomenon may reflect the plight of urbanisation in China.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a mental illness with multiple serious physical health complications. Despite this, evidence suggests that AN is commonly conceptualised as a choice, and sufferers are regarded as vain, selfish, and to blame for their condition. No previous studies appear to have explored the link between these stigmatising views and attitudes towards sickness and disability benefits for people with AN, though general attitudes towards benefits claimants are often negative.This quantitative study aimed to investigate if people with AN are widely viewed as undeserving of benefits, and to explore if and how stigma and perceptions of personal choice may affect this, using the example of Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The final sample consisted of 20 female undergraduate students from a university in the North of England. Main findings were that most students (80%) believed that people with AN should be eligible to apply for PIP, though higher levels of stigma were associated with disagreement for PIP. Results showed that levels of stigma towards AN were generally low, but beliefs that AN is a choice and sufferers are to blame were present nonetheless. However, the study found no conclusive evidence of perceptions of choice being associated with attitudes towards PIP.

Creativity: a word often associated with fun, colour and play, a sentiment reflected in companies attempting to recreate it for profit.

创造力:一个经常与乐趣、色彩和游戏联系在一起的词，这种情感反映在试图通过重新创造来盈利的公司身上。像“奇妙体验”(wonder Experience)这样的展览让空间充满了类似的孩子般的美感，表面上的目的是培养创造力，但其真正目的是在Instagram上源源不断地发布相同的帖子，增加门票销售。这篇论文揭示了创造力更黑暗、更真实的一面，提出不适是必不可少的因素。把可爱的“农田”空间和铺天盖地的办公空间和啤酒冰箱放在一起，研究表明，要想进行创造性思维，你必须处于一种焦虑的状态。平面设计师经常遵循Josef miller - brockman等人设计的网格的安全性，然而这篇文章表明，这种工作是在舒适的领域内。这种谨慎行事的倾向可能是因为我们生活在消费主义社会——没有多少设计师能承担得起冒险，因为失败意味着没有薪水。通过这种方式，本文最后提出，由于我们所处的文化，创造力被视为一种反叛行为。

Theglobal health crisis caused by COVID-19 has overwhelmed both healthcaresettings and economies globally. Whilst mass population testing has improveddrastically, recent reviews of existing methods have highlighted variousshortcomings with these methods. Theaim of this project was to investigate whether the LAA could be modified andutilised as rapid detection test which either matched or exceeded the existingsensitivity and specificity values. TheLAA investigated whether the COVID-19 spike protein could be detected insamples. COVID-19 specific IgM and IgG were used in conjunction with a seriesof non-specific antigens. Control or AG containing samples weremixed with AB-microsphere complexes on glass microscope slides. Manualvisualisation identified various levels of agglutination. Light microscopy andspectrophotometry at 405nm determined that the LAA could detect at least 2.3ngof spike protein. Theparticle counting tool of ImageJ was utilised to obtain a dataset which wassubjected to statistical analysis which indicated that there was a significantdifference between control samples and live tests, P = 0.000102 for the spikeprotein assay and P = 0.254 for the non-specific assay respectively. Theresults obtained fell in line with a similar study conducted by Buffin et al in2018. Theanalytical methods used in this project twinned with data obtained in previousstudies supports the significant difference between control values and livetest values. The LAA is easier, quicker to use (results in ≤ 30 minutes) andcheaper, with potentially better sensitivity to existing methods. This couldbenefit high and low-income countries alike upon further research andoptimisation.

Spiritual-based care has been increasingly explored and investigated for its effectiveness for assisting mental illness, such as PTSD in the United States of America (Harris et al., 2018). Although research studies have attempted to explore attitudes towards spiritual care and the effectiveness of spiritual-based care for PTSD, few have explored attitudes regarding spiritual care for recovery from PTSD, especially from undergraduate allied health students. This paper explores the attitudes towards spiritual care for recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder, from undergraduate allied health students. The study adopted an interpretivist approach that deployed qualitative methods. The data collection method used for the study were semi-structured interviews. In total, four participants participated in the interviews. A thematic analysis was utilised to examine the datasets from the interviews.The research revealed that majority of participants had negative opinions regarding traditional medical treatment for PTSD and mental illness recovery. This led to the identification of barriers, such as stigma and cultural barriers, for seeking treatment for mental illness. Participants had positive opinions regarding spiritual care for assisting PTSD recovery, with recommendations that religious and spiritual needs must be assessed before the allocation of spiritual-based care to prevent conflict with patient’s religious or cultural beliefs.
