Novel opto-electronic and plastic fibre sensors by Ioannides, Nicos

“…The middle POF is coupled to a red LED and emits light onto a flat target with the two outer fibres receiving the reflected light from the target and guiding it to two silicon PIN photodiodes. Theoretical investigations on the behaviour of the sensor are presented for ranges between 0 mm and 100 mm, and for targets with different reflectivities. …”

Rethinking learning outcomes : review of Trevor Hussey & Patrick Smith (2003) ‘The Uses of Learning Outcomes’, Teaching in Higher Education, Vol. 8. No 3, pp. 357-368 by Carter, Carol

“…Picking up the baton from their earlier article The Trouble With Learning Outcomes, in which they detailed a persuasively cautionary account of the dangers inherent in using learning outcomes as tools of audit rather than of education, Hussey and Smith (2002) return on a mission: ‘to develop an account of learning outcomes… that is more realistic and conducive to educational purposes’ (p. 232). …”

Pro-social attitudes towards ethno-religious out-groups during the COVID-19 pandemic: a survey experiment in five countries by Carol, Sarah, David, Lea, Malasevic, Sinisa, Uzelac, Gordana

“…This article examines pro-social attitudes among 7000 residents in England, Ireland, Germany, Serbia, and Sweden by showing a fictitious scenario of an older neighbour who needs his groceries to be picked up from a nearby supermarket. The online survey experiment follows a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial design varying the ethno-religious origin of neighbours signalled by the name (Alexander vs Mohammed), the length of their residence (<1 year, 10 years, entire life), and if groceries, or groceries and beer need to be collected. …”

Situated perspectives on the city: a reflection on scaling participation through design by De Carli, Beatrice, Apsan Frediani, Alexandre

“…We discuss these ideas by drawing on our own experience of devising and facilitating a number of participatory design and planning initiatives titled Change by Design with the non-profit organization Architecture Sans Frontières – UK (ASF-UK). Reflecting on this experience, we argue that the inclusion of a design-based, city-level perspective in localized upgrading initiatives can be a powerful conceptual and practical tool to support horizontal, vertical and deep scaling; and we highlight the importance of constructing this design tool in an embodied and situated manner, so that scaling processes remain firmly grounded in everyday lives and experiences.…”

Anti-social behaviour: local perception and reporting behaviour in a small urban location by Venables, Lucie Mary

“…Anti-social behaviour legislation and centralised policy was initially based on the notion anti-social behaviour was easy to define. Innes’s (2004) signal crimes perspective identified the importance of local, context specific research to uncover what residents identify as important in relation to crime and anti-social behaviour. …”
