Molecular and physiological consequences of prematurity and blood pressure elevation on the young adult left ventricular stress response by Huckstep, O

“…Blood pressure elevation also contributes to increased LV mass and cardiovascular risk, and is increasingly prevalent in young adults. This thesis used purposive recruitment of young adults with a range of blood pressures and birth histories (preterm-born and term-born) and employed deep baseline cardiovascular phenotyping combined with exercise stress assessments to characterise LV stress response phenotypes in young adults born preterm, or with blood pressure elevation. …”

Understanding health system responsiveness to public feedback at the sub-national level: Insights from Kilifi County, Kenya by Kagwanja, N, Gilson, L, Tsofa, B, Olivier, J, Leli, H, Molyneux, S

“…In this paper we share a system responsiveness framework to reflect this wider conceptualisation and illustrate how we used this framework combined with Aragon’s insights on organisational capacity, to explore system responsiveness practices at sub-national level in Kenya. …”

Strategies of rendering difficult syntactic structures in English-Arabic simultaneous interpreting by Abdulameer, Muhannad Hadi Abdulameer

“…When conducted between linguistically different language pairs, simultaneous interpreting encapsulates difficulties when choosing the strategies to be used with certain syntactic structures. The present study is a corpus-based study which examines how simultaneous interpreters employ certain interpreting strategies rather than others when rendering noun phrases and numbers in English-Arabic simultaneous interpreting. …”
