The impact of algorithmic decision-making processes on young people’s well-being (Preprint) (2019)
Working Paper
Background: Algorithms rule the online environments and are essential for performing data processing, filtering, personalisation and other tasks. Research has shown that children and young people make up a significant proportion of Internet users, h...

Development of bioactive electrospun scaffolds suitable to support skin fibroblasts and release Lucilia sericata maggot excretion/secretion (2019)
Working Paper
Larval therapy has been reported to exert beneficial actions upon chronic wound healing by promoting granulation tissue formation, antimicrobial activity and degrading necrotic tissue. However, the use of live maggots is problematic for patient accep...

Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes (2019)
Working Paper
The accessory genes of prokaryote and eukaryote pangenomes accumulate by horizontal gene transfer, differential gene loss, and the effects of selection and drift. We have developed Coinfinder, a software program that assesses whether sets of homologo... Read More about Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes.
Background: The management of medicines towards the end of life can place increasing burdens and responsibilities on patients and families. This has received little attention yet it can be a source of great difficulty and distress patients and famili...

ExploreASL: an image processing pipeline for multi-center ASL perfusion MRI studies (2019)
Working Paper
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) has undergone significant development since its inception, with a focus on improving standardization and reproducibility of its acquisition and quantification. In a community-wide effort towards robust and reproducible cl... Read More about ExploreASL: an image processing pipeline for multi-center ASL perfusion MRI studies.
Thioredoxin system protein expression in carcinomas of the pancreas, bile duct and ampulla (2019)
Working Paper
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC), including the ampulla and bile duct, is very aggressive, and thus difficult to treat with effective therapies. The current treatment options have failed to improve PC five-year survival rates over the last 30 to 40...

Right to an Explanation Considered Harmful (2019)
Working Paper
Protocol for the development of an evidence-based ‘Best Practice Model’ for Teams Managing Crisis in Dementia (2019)
Working Paper
Background: Teams working in the community to manage crisis in dementia are available, but with widely varying models of practice it is difficult to determine the effectiveness of such teams. The aim of this study is to develop a model of best pra... Read More about Protocol for the development of an evidence-based ‘Best Practice Model’ for Teams Managing Crisis in Dementia.
Agent-Based Simulation Modelling for Reflecting on Consequences of Digital Mental Health (2019)
Working Paper
The premise of this working paper is based around agent-based simulation models and how to go about creating them from given incomplete information. Agent-based simulations are stochastic simulations that revolve around groups of agents that each hav...
