The young player wellbeing podcast:S3 E07 The weight of expectation with Dr Helen Heaviside
No full textOur latest episode, recorded in the Leeds Trinity University podcast studio, is with one of their senior lecturers in sport psychology and published researcher in the field, Dr Helen Heaviside. Helen's research focuses on interpersonal expectancies and impression management. Brad and Toni had absolutely 0 idea about until recording this episode. This episode serves as a major learning experience for as both and forced us to reflect on how expectations affect others and the best ways to manage these expectations. Here's our brief, spoiler free overview on interpersonal expectancies and impression management (sorry in advance, Helen). Interpersonal expectancies are the expectations we, as human beings, have of other people. This concept is particularly interesting in the sport context. Think about the expectations placed on athletes; from fans, media, coaches, teammates, officials. It's a lot, and therefore can have both negative outcomes for wellbeing and performance, if not managed appropriately. Expectancies affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. If we latch on to an expectancy that places unhelpful pressure on us, we might begin to feel stress. When we're stressed our wellbeing might be low, which can negatively impact our performance. That's where impression management comes in, which is all about how to manage the impression (or expectancy) that we are creating of other people and that others create about us. We spend the last part of the episode discussing 'controlling the controllables' to assist with managing impressions. Tune in as we explore interpersonal expectancies and impression management, 2 concepts which might be a bit closer to home than you first thought..
Common teaching methods, strategies and tools used by college-based higher education (CBHE) teachers and factors that influence the selection of these:insights from a Delphi study
No full textDespite the extensive research on pedagogy within university settings, the teaching practices of college-based higher education (CBHE) remain underexplored. This gap overlooks the unique methods, strategies, and tools employed in CBHE environments. This short talk will unveil novel findings from a PhD study focused on CBHE teaching practices in England. The talk will predominantly utilise data from a three-round online Delphi study with an expert panel of 16 CBHE teachers across eight academic disciplines. These educators initially identified 76 teaching methods, strategies, and tools, ultimately reaching consensus on 54 as predominantly used, alongside 43 influential factors affecting the selection of approaches out of an initial 57 that were generated by the panel. This investigation not only fills a research void but also sets the groundwork for a forthcoming extensive study aimed at quantifying the adoption of these teaching approaches within the CBHE sector. Through revealing commonly used practices and influencing factors, this study paves the way for enhancing the understanding of teaching practice in CBHE settings
Re: Collections
No full textThe Natural Sciences Zoology Collections held by Bradford Museums and Galleries formed the reference material for Re: Collections, a photographic study of British wildlife vertebrate specimens. The photographs present us with a series of birds and mammals, made timeless by the taxidermist and the photographer. Each specimen is presented on a black background, reminiscent of the Dutch still-life painting tradition; this recurrent motif aims to focus the attention of the observer. The photographs allow us to reflect on the preserved specimens and consider the paradox of their reworked ‘natural’ form. The work resides in an artistic and scientific context and could bring about questions about our own personal relationship to the British wildlife and its conservation

‘Precarious parents’ in Italy:a study on gendered and racialised labour-power
No full textThis research explores the conditions of parents in precarious employment in Italy (European Union) with an emphasis on (but not confined to) mothers from non-European Union countries of origin. The aim is to construct a critical understanding of the material conditions of workers and parents in precarious employment and their everyday struggles to achieve employment and income security, when this income security can be achieved only through the sale of labour-power in gendered and racialised labour markets. Their everyday lives are marked by their conditions of bearers of labour-power and crucially these precarious social conditions produce a pressure which tends to reduce precarious workers’ lives to ‘bare life’. Bare life is connected to the ‘bare minimum’ that these participants get in terms of income. This study aims to give a new interpretation to the concept of bare minimum through which precarious parents must arrange their lives. Gendered and racialising processes take place through the struggles around this ‘minimum’.</p
Association between air temperature and unintentional drowning risk in the United Kingdom 2012–2019:A nationwide case-crossover study
Get PDFObjective: Drowning is a leading cause of death. The World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations (UN) emphasise the need for population-level data-driven approaches to examine risk factors to improve water safety policies. Weather conditions, have the potential to influence drowning risk behaviours as people are more likely to spend time around water and/or undertake risky activities in aquatic spaces as a behavioural thermoregulatory response (e.g., seeking coolth). Methods: A case-crossover approach assessed associations between changes in daily maximum air temperature (data from the nearest weather station to each drowning event) and unintentional drowning risk using anonymous data from the validated UK Water Incident Database 2012–2019 (1945 unintentional deaths, 82% male). Control days were selected using a unidirectional time-stratified approach, whereby seven and 14 days before the hazard day were used as the controls. Results: Mean maximum air temperature on case and control days was 15.36 °C and 14.80 °C, respectively. A 1 °C increase in air temperature was associated with a 7.2% increase in unintentional drowning risk. This relationship existed for males only. Drowning risk was elevated on days where air temperature reached 15–19.9 °C (Odds Ratio; OR: 1.75), 20–24.9 °C (OR: 1.87), and ≥ 25 °C (OR: 4.67), compared with days <10 °C. The greatest elevations in risk appeared to be amongst males and when alcohol intoxication was suspected. Precipitation showed no significant association with unintentional drowning risk. Conclusions: Identifying such relationships highlights the value of considering weather conditions when evaluating environmental risk factors for drowning, and may inform water safety policy and allocating resources to prevention and rescue.</p

Modeling recovery housing retention and program outcomes by justice involvement among residents in Virginia, USA:an observational study
No full textLiving in recovery housing can improve addiction recovery and desistance outcomes. This study examined whether retention in recovery housing and types of discharge outcome (completed, “neutral,” and “negative” outcomes) differed for clients with recent criminal legal system (CLS) involvement. Using data from 101 recovery residences certified by the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences based on 1,978 individuals completing the REC-CAP assessment, competing risk analyses (cumulative incidence function, restricted mean survival time, and restricted mean time lost) followed by the marginalization of effects were implemented to examine program outcomes at final discharge. Residents with recent CLS involvement were more likely to be discharged for positive reasons (successful completion of their goals) and premature/negative reasons (e.g., disciplinary releases) than for neutral reasons. Findings indicate that retention for 6–18 months is essential to establish and maintain positive discharge outcomes, and interventions should be developed to enhance retention in recovery residents with recent justice involvement
Sharpe's Wood
No full textSharpe’s Wood is a substantial body of site-specific research based in woodland on the edge of a city. The location acted as a testing ground for photographic seeing by exploring the transformational and aesthetic paradoxes captured by the singularity of an extended exposure (at night). The camera witnessed and captured the nocturnal light, to reveal a landscape once partially concealed. The photographic research aligns with contemporary ideas around the (lost) meaning of landscape and the locale, within a wider cultural context and contributes to the debates about the landscape of northern England
