In this paper, we argue that information researchers should use images as a source of data. The information systems field is overwhelmingly visual in nature. Not only is the Internet crammed with images, but also almost every detail observed during fieldwork in different research settings can be captured in the form of digital images. Yet, we rarely engage with those images. Except for sporadic...

In this paper, Liz Lyon explores how libraries can re-shape to better reflect the requirements and challenges of today’s data-centric research landscape. The Informatics Transform presents five assertions as potential pathways to change, which will help libraries to re-position, re-profile, and restructure to better address research data management challenges. The paper deconstructs the institu...

Although the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health is well documented for developed countries, less evidence has been presented for developing countries. The aim of this paper is to analyse this relationship at the household level for Fiji, a developing country in the South Pacific, using original household survey data. To allow for the endogeneity of SES status in the hous...

This article examines how research findings from the field of academic literacies might be used to underpin course design across the broad curriculum of higher education. During the last decade this research has unpacked the complex relationship between writing and learning, and pointed to gaps in students’ and tutors’ understanding of what is involved in writing for assessment. The article tak...

The aim of this article is to explore the processes learning when students are engaged in intercultural historical (IHL), specifically how spaces were, or were not, opened by students’ struggle construct meaning. Since IHL complex, involving both intrinsic disciplinary and extrinsic curricular goals, it vital understand process detail. research questions address which aspects seem activate lear...

Flesh and fatty acid compositions, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), lipid oxidation aerobic plate count, Enterobacteriaceae , psychrotrophic bacteria were determined in raw smoked mackerel during cold storage (three groups differing way of packaging; unpacked (UP), vacuum packaging (VP) modified atmosphere (MAP) at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days. The protein, fat content n-3 polyunsaturated a...

Beef can easily be contaminated with bacteria during the meat production chain. In this work, we studied contamination levels of mesophilic aerobic (MAB) and thermotolerant coliform (TCB) on raw beef surfaces from small shops in Helsinki, Finland markets Benin City, Nigeria. We also investigated prevalence Salmonella , Campylobacter Yersinia Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Lister...

This paper, part one of a two paper report, describes key aspects of the research context of an ongoing practice development project, conducted on two UK sites. The paper begins with a discussion of the project's origins within a community of people working in the recovery paradigm, including the contributory strand of the first author's recovery and survivor writing. The discussion then turns ...

The starting point of this paper is that 'age' is undertheorised and generally viewed as unproblematic in criminology, particularly when compared to the consideration which has been given to 'race', gender and sexuality. Beyond the empirical level 'age' is not always meaningful, and it is rarely unpacked theoretically. My aim is to demonstrate that studies of the relationship between older peop...

Emerging brominated flame retardants (eBFRs) other than polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and their derivatives in foods have been in focus in recent years due to their increasing production volumes, indefinite information on toxicities and the lack of data on occurrence in environments, foods as well as humans. In this study, gas chromatography was coupled...
