Public Engagement and the University through the Lens of the Law School
No full textThe dataset contains data analysis, interview questions, and participant information sheets. The aim of the related thesis was to develop a framework which sets out public engagement as an act of negotiation, discussion, and creation within universities and between universities and communities

Data from the study includes interview and PhotoVoice transcripts and photographs of food environment
The influence of nutrition knowledge on the self-regulation of eating
No full textSelf-regulation of eating behaviour refers to the ability to make healthy dietary choices, resist temptation and maintain a healthier diet over the longer term through monitoring, controlling and modifying thoughts, feeling and behaviour in response to food and related cues. Greater nutrition knowledge appears to be correlated with improved self-regulatory capacity, but evidence is lacking. The present study explored self-regulation capacity of individuals with knowledge of nutrition versus a lay audience. A total of 71 participants completed an online survey measuring nutritional knowledge, general self-regulatory capacity, the self-regulation of eating, trait eating behaviours and body image perception. General self-regulation capacity was negatively correlated with nutrition knowledge scores (r = −.320, p = .017), where greater self-regulation was associated with poorer nutrition-related knowledge. There was no correlation between self-regulation specific to eating behaviour and nutrition knowledge (r = −.064, p = .634). These findings suggest a poor link between self-regulatory capacity and nutrition knowledge. However, findings show a link between self-regulation, perceived struggle to maintain a healthy weight and disordered eating behaviours (e.g., uncontrolled and emotional eating), suggesting dietary self-regulation may be important for preventing problematic eating behaviours
‘Fish wives’ and ‘Working-Class heroes’ in UK Parliament: Discursive intersections of (dis)respectability, class and gender in newspaper representations of Angela Rayner
No full textThis research develops an intersectional understanding of the portrayal of White, working-class origin women politicians in UK newspaper coverage via a single case analysis of the reporting of Angela Rayner and her supposed attempt to ‘distract’ the UK Prime Minister. A Dual process feminist-influenced discourse analysis was conducted on data sampled across a 4-week period and comprising 74 UK newspaper articles (47,000 words). Two overarching discourses were identified - ‘fish wives’ and ‘working-class heroes’ – which functioned to both confer and revoke respectability. Despite celebratory potential, these discourses reproduced the ‘elite male as norm’ and classed the gendered double bind to potentially restrict working-class women’s ability to adopt, reject, or demolish elite, masculine idealised standards. They also served to caution against working-class women politicians - framed as inherently dangerous (e.g., ‘inner fishwife’) and disrespectable (e.g. uncouth and hypersexualised) compared to White middle-class feminised standards. Therefore, classed and gendered boundaries were re-asserted via a presentation of working-class women politicians as unworthy and potentially dangerous. This technology of governance has implications for voting decisions, our shared understanding of the overall appropriateness of working-class women in positions of power as well as our treatment towards them, while sustaining elite (White) masculinised power and privilege
Validation of a foil selector tool and novel neutron spectrum unfolding codes at ChipIR
No full textNeutron spectrum unfolding is a technique that allows the energy of neutrons produced at facilities like ChipIR to be determined from indirect methods of material irradiation. The accuracy and efficacy of the unfolding technique is often highly sensitive to the materials selected for irradiation by the neutron field of interest. To optimise this process a foil selector tool has been developed as part of a joint PhD project between the UKAEA, Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Brighton. The code automates the process of foil selection and provides users with the optimal set of material samples, as well as suggestions for foil diameter and thickness, to achieve the best results when neutron spectrum unfolding is applied post-irradiation. We are looking to perform the first experimental validation of this foil selector code and the novel neutron spectrum unfolding methods

Consumer knowledge of and engagement with traditional takeaway and dark kitchen food outlets
No full textBackground
Dark kitchens – delivery-only food outlets operating through digital technology platforms – are a contemporary addition to the food environment. Some concerns have been raised the ability for local authorities to identify and regulate these businesses, with growing concern around the nutritional quality of foods, food safety practices and the impact on the local food environment. The present work explores consumer understanding of and engagement with dark kitchen establishments.
Methods
Healthy adults living in the United Kingdom completed an online survey comprising of questions measuring participant demographics, engagement with takeaways and dark kitchens, purchasing behaviours and decision making, and knowledge and understanding around dark kitchens. Questions were primarily closed-ended and quantitative. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics.
Results
In total, 2,023 participants (46.3 ± 16.7 years) completed the survey. Forty percent purchased a takeaway at least weekly, often through aggregator applications (e.g., Just Eat, Deliveroo). Food was mainly purchased as a treat (79.3%), for enjoyment of the food or taste (60.8%) and for convenience (58.2%). When ordering, consumers considered the taste (88.1%), quality (83.5%), value for money (77.8%), and familiarity with (68.1%) and reputation of the business (60.0%). Only 24.7% of participants had heard of dark kitchens and 9.1% had knowingly purchased from one. After reading a working definition, 54.9% of consumers said they would purchase from a dark kitchen but most would want to know explicitly that they were ordering from these businesses. A major concern was trust in the food safety and hygiene standards.
Conclusion
Consumers are unfamiliar with dark kitchens and are not aware of or confident in identifying these businesses. This confusion and concerns around food safety means dark kitchens are often viewed negatively. Consumers would prefer more transparency in where their foods are being prepared to allow for more informed decision-making
