Four nations: How evidence-based are alcohol policies and programmes across the UK?
No full textThis report by Niamh Fitzgerald (University of Stirling) and Colin Angus (University of Sheffield) investigates the extent to which alcohol policies and programmes across the UK are based on evidence.
The divergence of alcohol policy in the four nations of the UK since devolution has allowed us to compare and contrast how evidence is used in alcohol policy and the extent to which current policies across the UK are supported by scientific evidence. In this new report, we discovered substantial differences between the 4 nations in the way that alcohol problems are framed and policies implemented. These differences appear to reflect the level of activity within each country, with alcohol framed as a minority issue affecting only a small group of dependent drinkers at the UK level, while the more active devolved administrations tend to view or portray alcohol problems as a whole population issue

2007 Colin Roderick Lecture
No full textLet me thank my audience for coming to listen to me today: let me thank the Foundation for Australian Literary Studies for inviting me to give this year’s Colin Roderick Lectures.<br />I like to think that Professor Roderick would have looked kindly on the choice of a lecturer drawn from the bleak, ambiguous demi-monde where journalism and literary endeavours meet - for he was involved, as many of you will know, during his days as an editor at Angus and Robertson, in the celebrated libel case in 1961 over “The Bandar-Log,” a novel, still unpublished, by the distinguished Canberra press gallery journalist, Alan Reid. Roderick’s own writings had a strong influence on me at a particular point in my path as an author: but the one act of his that resonates most strongly in my thoughts is the decision he made, 40 years ago, to establish a centre for the study of Australian writing here in the North.</jats:p

Open Research Conversation: Open Research and Public Engagement
8 September 2023
We’ll be joined by Colin Angus and Andy Tattersall from the School of Health and Related research and Kate O’Neill from the University Library for an exploration of the intersections between open research and public engagement. While Colin discusses his experiences of using social media to disseminate public health research, Andy and Kate will explore open access coverage of Wikipedia-cited research across the White Rose Universities. Our speakers will bring together different perspectives and experiences on the concepts and methodologies of open research and public engagement in order to examine the nature and degree of their overlap.

The positives and pitfalls of using social media for science communication
Social media platforms such as Twitter offer a unique opportunity for researchers to engage with a wider audience, but how can we best use them to our advantage to communicate our research without them becoming a time sink? In this talk Colin will share his experiences (both good and bad) of using Twitter as a tool for science communication over the last few years and provide some practical advice to help you make the most of the medium.

Exploring open access coverage of Wikipedia-cited research across the White Rose Universities
Wikipedia is widely regarded as the world's leading knowledge encyclopaedia and much of that knowledge is underpinned by research evidence. Yet not all of that cited research is accessible to global society due to it being behind publisher paywalls. This talk will discuss a recent paper that explored how much of Sheffield's research was cited in Wikipedia and what percentage is Open Access.

The characterisation of carbon fibre surfaces by electrochemical methods
No full textThe possibility of surface characterisation of carbon fibres by electrochemical methods is investigated. A three electrode cell set-up is used and the carbon fibre electrode/solution electrolyte interface is studied. The interface is represented as an equivalent circuit of electrical components and the variation in the nature and value of these components is investigated for various high modulus fibres. Initial studies using non-sinusoidal techniques show that the simple equivalent circuit model, containing a solution resistance, a charge transfer resistance and a double layer capacitance, normally used for this type of cell is completely inadequate. It is not feasible to distinguish between fibres or even between different electrolyte solutions using these methods. However, it is shown that by applying an a.c. impedance technique coupled with equivalent circuit analysis developed by Boukamp it is possible to generate a more accurate representation of the fibre/solution interface. The new circuit contains additional elements such as an interfacial inductance and a constant phase diffusional element. By monitoring the d.c. polarisation potential dependence of these circuit components it is shown to be possible to distinguish between untreated and surface-treated fibres. However, it is not possible to distinguish between different batches of the same fibre. It is shown that galvanic oxidation of untreated fibres can be monitored by this method. The effects of time on oxidised fibres is also investigated
