Lurking on Social Media: A multi-method investigation into its conceptualisation and measurement, to explore alternative explanations through a study of UK skincare consumers - SPSS dataset files both main study and pilot test
No full textThis dataset contains responses from an online survey conducted via Prolific administered to 630 UK skincare consumers aged between 18-74. The survey gathered quantitative data on both active and passive forms of online engagement through measuring both visible behaviours (e.g., posting frequency, likes, shares) and the less visible behaviour of lurking (e.g. reading, learning, observing, browsing, etc.), redefined in terms of “lurking orientation.” SPSS was used to perform descriptive and inferential statistical analysis on the survey data. The analyses aimed to: 1) Validate the lurking orientation as a continuous construct rather than a binary behaviour that is present/absent, 2) Explore the relationships between lurking orientation, personality and motivational factors, and downstream offline engagement outcomes (e.g., product purchases and recommendations), and 3) Segment the consumer base to propose a typology of lurkers that can guide more effective, nuanced engagement strategies for skincare brands.
This SPSS dataset is particularly valuable for quantitative researchers, marketers, and practitioners interested in the detailed statistical evaluation of engagement behaviours in online communities. It offers insights into how "passive" engagement (i.e. lurking) can be reinterpreted as a variable, rather than uniformly undesirable behaviour, thereby informing more targeted and efficient digital marketing approaches
Carabid beetle pitfall captures, environmental data and vegetation data from the Purbeck Heaths forests, established heaths and restored heaths
No full textThis dataset contains measurements of ground temperature, soil moisture, relative humidity, and carabid beetle counts collected from 35 sites within the Purbeck Heaths National Nature Reserve, Dorset, during May to August 2024. Data loggers recorded continuous ground temperature, and records were downloaded at the end of the entire survey period. Humidity was measured once per site each month. Soil moisture was measured four times per site during each survey period, and beetle abundance and species identification were recorded using pitfall traps. Sites include forested areas (F), established wet and dry heathlands (WH and DH, respectively), and restored heathlands of two varying restoration ages (NW: newly restored wet heath; OW: older restored wet heath; ND: newly restored dry heath; and OD: older restored dry heath). Pitfall traps in restored sites (NW, OW, ND and OD sites) were divided into 'ridges' and 'furrows' depending on the microtopography. This dataset supports analysis of habitat restoration effects on invertebrate communities and microclimatic conditions

Fostering disability inclusion in hospitality organisations: Exploring co-workers' role in the social integration of employees with disabilities (EWDs)
No full textThis integrated thesis fills the gap in the academic literature regarding fostering disability inclusion in employment within the hospitality sector, an emerging area of diversity and inclusion. Despite scholarly attention and ongoing efforts to promote disability inclusion through policies and human resources practices at both national and organisational levels, employees with disabilities (EWDs) continue to experience significant exclusion in terms of engagement and collaboration with co-workers. This exclusion typically stems from persistent barriers in organisational culture and ecosystems, such as a lack of understanding and limited opportunities for meaningful interaction, which hinder their full participation and integration into team activities. The lack of knowledge about the roles of co-workers, who are key stakeholders working directly with EWDs, has contributed to negative treatment, stereotypes, and stigma toward EWDs. This issue has been identified as a major barrier to social integration in disability employment and serves as the motivation for this study. Therefore, this integrated thesis seeks to address these knowledge gaps by focusing on three distinct research objectives, each explored through separate studies.
The first objective (Study 1) involves a comprehensive integrative review of existing literature on disability inclusion in hospitality, focusing on tourists and employees with disabilities to assess current interventions and gaps related to disability inclusion. Based on an analysis of 101 empirical disability inclusion articles from top-ranking hospitality journals, the findings highlight a greater emphasis on tourist-related inclusion over employment. It reveals the need for improved employment systems and proactive strategies to promote social sustainability and inclusivity of EWDs. The review also calls for exploring the role of diverse organisational ecosystems within organisations in shaping inclusion outcomes. The second objective (Study 2) addresses the social barriers in disability employment by analysing the psychosocial factors that influence co-workers' behaviour to support EWDs. This study applies the extended theory of planned behaviour and ethics of care theory. It evaluates how positive attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, anticipated emotions and the moderating effect of past behaviour affect coworkers' intention to support EWDs. The study reveals that while individual responsibility drives supportive behaviour rather than social norms, co-workers' willingness to support EWDs is significantly influenced by their attitudes, perceived behavioural control and anticipated emotions. The moderating effect of past behaviour is the key finding of this research, revealing differences in supportive behaviour between inexperienced and experienced co-workers. The study highlights the importance of co-workers' moral obligations and direct experiences in overcoming stereotypes and enhancing their supportive intentions.
The third objective (Study 3) expands on the role of co-workers in fostering disability inclusion by exploring the factors influencing their self-efficacy in supporting EWDs. While the self-efficacy of EWDs is essential for their job performance, it is equally important to understand co-workers' skills and competencies to engage with EWDs. Study 3 draws on theories of self-efficacy theory and ethics of care theory to examine how job resources, such as organisational diversity climate and the perceived usefulness of facilitating technology, impact co-workers' self-efficacy, with a focus on the mediating role of psychological states of anticipated emotions. The findings show that organisational support and technology resources are crucial for fostering co-workers' self-efficacy. Anticipated emotions serve as a mediating factor, reinforcing co-workers'
problem-solving coping strategies and resilience in supporting EWDs.
Studies 2 and 3 employ a quantitative approach with a survey method. They target nondisabled co-workers in different roles within three major hospitality organisations in Malaysia that have strong disability employment policies and significant experience employing EWDs. These cross-sectional studies encompass 421 respondents from the food service, accommodation, and retail sectors. This research significantly advances existing theoretical frameworks, such as the theory of planned behaviour theory and self-efficacy theory, by integrating principles from the ethics of care theory. It offers novel insights into the factors influencing workplace inclusion for EWDs. The study underscores the critical role of individual characteristics,
organisational culture, leadership commitment, and resource availability in shaping coworkers' attitudes and behaviours towards EWDs. These factors, in turn, mediate coworkers' readiness, motivation, and engagement in fostering an inclusive environment and promoting effective collaboration with EWDs. Ultimately, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how organisational practices can enhance the well-being and professional development of EWDs in hospitality settings

Code for Enhancing Generalization in Sketch-Based Image Retrieval through Single and Multi-Source Domain Adaptation
No full textThis study is conducted on the CIFAR-100 dataset, with only 50 randomly selected object classes used for training. The remaining classes are reserved for zero-shot testing.
Each pre-trained model is fine-tuned on CIFAR-100 to adapt itself to this task. Subsequently, various model variants are created by adding a single linear probe layer for subsequent zero-shot performance evaluation.
These models are then tested, collecting metrics such as error rate and kappa. Finally, the trade-off point between these metrics is calculated and visualized in graphs, ready for analysis

Observational Risk Assessment of Contractures: Longitudinal Evaluation (ORACLE)- Qualitative data set
Full text linkThis study aimed to explore the experience of care home staff regarding the usability and acceptability of a contracture risk assessment tool (ORACLE) and gain insights into its practical implementation. This study is nested within a multiphase, mixed-methods research project (Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06042907), which aimed to develop and validate ORACLE in care homes. The qualitative study was carried out in five care homes that participated in testing the validity and reliability of ORACLE. All participating care homes had a good rating by the CQC. Two categories of care staff were eligible to participate in the semi-structured interviews. The inclusion criteria were:
1) Managers, registered nurses, or senior staff members engaged in coordinating the application of ORACLE in the care homes.
2) Healthcare assistants routinely engaged in the care of residents and who conducted ORACLE assessments.
A purposive sample of 10 care staff members was determined, based on available resources and pragmatic considerations. Participants were purposively selected based on the eligibility criteria. The sampling process was informed by the principle of data saturation, with interviews conducted until no new themes were identified. The participants included care staff working across a variety of care homes, including nursing, residential, mixed or specialised care facilities (dementia, neurological, etc.). For confidentiality purposes, participating care homes are not named. The care staff primarily cared for elderly residents with minimal support needs or those who required regular assistance with activities of daily living, individuals with cognitive impairments, learning disabilities and chronic health conditions.
The semi-structured interviews were conducted between 15th February and 30th May 2024 either remotely over secure videoconferencing or face-to-face in a private room at the care homes, depending on the convenience of the participants. The interviews lasted between 40 and 60 minutes and were audio and video recorded and transcribed verbatim by HT
