Transformational jewellery: practice-based research on the relationship between transformation and emotional attachment by Kim, Min Sun

“…The chief aims of this practice-based research are to investigate the nature of attachment between person and object in respect to transformation; to find ways in which objects (jewellery) can be transformed to engender a wearer’s emotional attachment; and to demonstrate the different ways of applying such transformations that are pertinent to jewellery. …”

Inter-individual responses to a blueberry intervention across multiple endpoints by Wang, Yueyue, Haskell-Ramsay, Crystal, Gallegos, Jose Lara, Lodge, John K.

“…To conclude, this is the first blueberry intervention applying quartile divisions to characterise individual responses in vascular and cognitive endpoints following a specific dietary intervention; however, we did not find any consistency in the individual responses to the interventions, and we could not identify a predictive urinary metabolite as a potential biomarker for differentiation between responders and non-responders. …”

Multiband antenna for portable device applications by Honarvar, M. Amin, Hamidi, Naeemehsadat, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…The proposed antenna consists of a combination of E-shaped and C-shaped radiators that are excited via a common microstrip feed-line. Embedded in the ground-plane are included an open- and short-ended slots whose purpose is to enhance the antenna's impedance match and increase the number of bands in which the antenna can operate. …”

The way forward for the origin of life: prions and prion-like molecules first hypothesis by Jheeta, Sohan, Chatzitheodoridis, Elias, Devine, Kevin G., Block, Janice

“…This genetics-first hypothesis asserts that an “RNA-world era” came before protein-based chemical evolution and rests on a singular premise that molecules such as RNA, acetyl-CoA, and NAD are relics of a long line of chemical evolutionary processes preceding the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). …”

Social workers' experience of work under changing administrative forms: an empirical and theoretical critique of Braverman by Davies, Linda

“…Although social workers may wish to reduce the uncertainty surrounding child abuse practice, and despite management's desire to limit practitioner discretion, there remains an inevitable core of uncertainty in the nature of the work which generates the requirement for judgment on the part of the front-line worker. Braverman's approach proved too deterministic to cope with these questions. …”
