Probing the patchwork of welfare services in Scotland:The experience as specialist advisors to a UK parliamentary committee
In this blog Dr Hayley Bennett (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Sarah Weakley (University of Glasgow and Policy Scotland), reflect on their work supporting a Parliamentary inquiry into multi-level ‘welfare’, including identifying evidence, unpicking complexity, and developing recommendations

Anti-poverty activities in a liberal welfare model:Local levers and multi-level tensions in Glasgow, UK
Using a case study of Glasgow, UK, this chapter discusses the design and delivery of anti-poverty activities in a post-industrial left-wing city located within a national liberal welfare model. Focusing on the multi-level architecture of the British welfare state, the chapter draws attention to the local arrangement and institutional relations between organisations engaged in employment, social service and broadly speaking, anti-poverty work in the city. As well as outlining the role of public and non-public sector organisations, Bennett explores issues of partnership working, competing initiatives and the politics of poverty. This chapter outlines the levers local actors utilise to deliver anti-poverty services and reflects on multi-level tensions, competing agendas and conflicting ways of working

The application of capillary electrophoresis to examine protein modifications in baked versus fried tortilla chips
Although lipid oxidation is recognized as a major chemical reaction limiting shelf life of foods, its role in degrading food quality and the mechanisms involved remain incompletely elucidated. Interactions of oxidizing lipids with other food molecules have been largely ignored, even though these reactions can have dramatic impact on food properties. Lipid co-oxidation of proteins occurs extensively in nearly all processed foods and degrades textures, flavors, color, and nutritional value. It is important to measure both lipid and protein co-oxidation products to understand the full extent of oxidative deterioration during food storage. This thesis is part of a larger project examining baked and fried tortilla chips to differentiate thermal damage to proteins from lipid co-oxidation during processing and storage. In a previous study, gel electrophoresis revealed modification of protein surfaces that affected dye binding, as well as formation of sizeable protein aggregates too large to enter normal gels involving disulfide, free radical, and other crosslinks. As an alternative to polyacrylamide gels, capillary electrophoresis can separate peptides without molecular weight limits, by modes that may be more sensitive to side chain modifications, and requires only a few nanoliters of sample. Thus, this study investigated the use of capillary electrophoresis for tracking fragmentation and crosslinking in co-oxidized proteins. Results corroborated observations that fried tortilla chip samples had greater changes than baked tortilla chip samples and higher incubation temperature resulted in more protein damage, most notably in fried reducing fractions. In addition, surface modifications altered protein charge, which interfered with migration in capillary electrophoresis. Peptide detection was limited to zeins of about 50 kDa because the sample filtration step intended to prevent capillary blockage also removed higher molecular weight fractions, including glutelins. However, fragmentation products not distinguishable in gel electrophoresis were detected. Overall, results of this study suggest that capillary electrophoresis has intriguing possibilities for supplementing SDS-PAGE and other protein analyses, particularly in verifying the presence of surface modifications. However, significant hurdles—such as reasons for lack of high molecular weight peptide loading and migration—remain to be overcome before capillary electrophoresis can become a primary method for analysis of modified proteins.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Lisa Hayley Schult
Hayley's biography of Dante
William Hayley’s literary relationship with Dante had a central role in the rediscovery of the Italian poet at the turn of the nineteenth century in England. His knowledge of Dante likely dates back to his student years at Trinity Hall in the 1760s, when he learned “to read, write, and speak Italian with fluency” from his master Agostino Isola, “an elderly, ingenious and distressed Italian” who taught in Cambridge. Hayley invoked Dante in The Triumphs of Temper (1781) and An Essay on Epic Poetry (1782) and was one of the earliest to attempt rendering the Commedia from the original terza rima, offering the most extended English version available in print at the time. The translation was first published in his notes to An Essay on Epic Poetry and encompassed the first three cantos of Inferno. Contemporary writers’ views on his Dante translation, particularly those expressed by Anna Seward and Horace Walpole, are significant. Seward had little admiration for “the fire and smoke poet” and Walpole was notorious for his hostility to Dante. However, they greatly admired Hayley’s version, even more so than Boyd’s. In a letter to Helen Williams, Seward confesses that “after reading and comparing it with Mr. Hayley’s sublime English version of the three first cantos, we cannot place great confidence in Boyd’s justice to his author” (25 August 1785). Boyd himself praised Hayley’s translation and highlighted that in his edition “many biographical particulars of Dante, are taken from Mr. Hayley’s Notes to his Essay on Epic Poetry.” But Hayley’s An Essay on Epic Poetry, apart from his acclaimed translation of the Commedia, includes other noteworthy parts such as his translations of sonnets by Dante, Petrarch, and Camõens and a series of European poets’ biographies, including those of Dante, Boccaccio, and Tasso. In his sketch of Dante’s life, Hayley emphasizes “the lighter graces of sprightly composition,” going beyond the common perception of Dante as a poet “inclined to melancholy.” Hayley’s notes raise questions about the readership of Italian poetry at the time, particularly in what way poets such as Dante were introduced to the English reader, and how the inclusion of Dante’s biography in An Essay might have contributed to the reception of his verse-in-translation. This chapter revolves around the exploration of these concerns in order to contextualize Hayley as a prominent figure who, besides his important connections to Blake and Romney, crucially contributed to literary and artistic negotiations across borders.</p
'Cold coaching’ and ‘business relationships’ in the New Zealand Football advanced coaching pathway: Coach Developer Aotearoa and its impact on the experience of New Zealand Football coach development courses
There is increasing recognition that coach development is an important endeavour for improving
the quality of coaching practice and therefore the athlete experience (Callary & Gearity, 2019).
As such the International Council for Coaching Excellence introduced the International Coach
Developer Framework (ICCE, 2014), which provided a framework for sports organisations such
as Sport New Zealand to implement coach development pathways in their national context. In
response, Sport New Zealand introduced the Coach Developer Aotearoa initiative which
provided New Zealand sporting organisations with a national framework for developing their
own coach development pathways.
This research considers the implementation of the messages of CDA into the national sporting
organisation of New Zealand Football (NZF). The aim of this research is to understand the key
messages that underpin the NZF coach development pathway, and therefore infer what
influence CDA has had on the NZF advanced coaching pathway. Using a qualitative interpretive
phenomenological method and reflexive thematic analysis, the research draws on the
experiences of seven coaches who coached within the NZF coaching pathway. The data shows
that NZF had embraced some of the messages that underpinned CDA. However, the delivery of
these messages varied between participants. The research uncovers tensions of accreditation,
where the pressure to conform to other global football organisations coach development creates
obstacles for the implementation of CDAs underpinning messages. Additionally, the data
highlighted a shift in the attitude of coaches engaging in coach development, where it had been
previously described that coaches saw coach development as a ‘necessary hurdle’ (Townsend
& Cushion, 2017) to attitudes that reflected a willingness and eagerness for coach development
