Garden Tourism
No full textGarden tourism is broadly defined as travel to cultivated grounds open to the public, appealing to a wide range of people, interests, needs, and expectations, offering diverse perceptions, experiences, and outcomes, such as meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Garden tourism involves virtual, augmented, domestic, and international tourism experiences to engage in a destination with the moniker “garden” (Benfield 2013, 2021).The attraction of gardens as a location for other tourism purposes and motivations has expanded the importance, significance, and evolution of gardens (Shapoval et al. 2020). Garden tourism is not only assisting in the vitality and viability of gardens and greenspace but, in many cases, enables them to serve their numerous multidimensional purposes and resultant, significant environmental, sociocultural, and economic outcomes (Catahan and Woodruffe-Burton 2019).Research highlights yearly visitor numbers rising in the millions to destinations worldwide,..

Innovating on campus well-being, social value and greenspace of Edge Hill University
No full textPointon-Haas et al. (2024) highlight that Universities’ student services are seeking ways to address increasing demand regarding mental health and well-being. Malagodi et al. (2024) state that over a quarter of UK students report a mental health issue and reactive support services cannot cope with demand, however there are opportunities to innovate on such service with gaps in current provision. Broglia and Barkham’s (2024) findings about campus well-being and greenspace shows a positive correlation between both, however, they state that university campuses’ natural environments and greenspace are underutilised across programmes and sites for student’ restorative therapies and relief. Bai et al. (2024) explore impacts of greenspace on mental well-being of University students showing that greenery significantly mitigates the level of mental health issues. Thompson et al. (2023) found that students surveyed in green spaces reported significantly more positive sense of belonging compared to those in non-green campus spaces. Ribeiro et al. (2024) promote dynamic service ecosystems in enhancing health and well-being outcomes and student experiences. Innovation on greenspace offer opportunities to meet SDGs, in particular SDG3 (Catahan, Hopwood and Suraweera, 2024). Many University students suffer with mental health and well-being challenges, and it is a significant public and social health concern (Elsden et al., 2023). This Transformative Service Research (Anderson, et al., 2013; Anderson and Xue, 2022; Russell-Bennett et al., 2024) considers opportunities for Edge Hill University to further develop as a potential exemplar model for others regarding campus well-being, value-cocreation, and green social prescribing innovation (Howarth et al., 2020). Project Aims and ObjectivesTo establish the importance of UK university campus greenspace from a social value perspective. To support university decision-makers in developing and (re)designing campus greenspace for well-being.To improve campus greenspace utilisation by visitors, students, staff, and the local community through an action plan and recommendations.To add to the existing field of knowledge on social value and well-being by establishing gaps and opportunities from individualistic perspectives of university campus greenspace. To create a conceptual framework to support future research agendas and praxis).Initial guiding/supporting referencesAnderson, L., Ostrom, A.L., Corus, C., Fisk, R.P., Gallan, A.S., Giraldo, M., Mende, M., Mulder, M., Rayburn, S.W., Rosenbaum, M.S. and Shira hada, K., 2013.

Heritability and Linkage Analysis of Appendicitis Utilizing Age at Onset
Get PDFAppendicitis usually afflicts the young, but there is a large tail in the distribution of onset age. The genetics of this disease are still not well understood. A heritability analysis and genome wide linkage analysis of a large twin dataset was undertaken. Treating age of onset of appendicitis as a censored survival trait revealed a heritability of 0.21, and found evidence of linkage to Chromosome 1p37.3.
