Qualitative evaluation of Fit Kids and Exercise Referral staying healthy projects

There is considerable research on the short term effects of physical activity programmes such as exercise referral, but less is know about long term impact. This qualitative review of Exercise Referral and Fit Kids programmes within Lincolnshire uncovers the long term impact of being part of physical activity interventions, the barriers and enablers to participation

Sequence elements controlling expression of Barley stripe mosaic virus subgenomic RNAs in vivo.

Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) contains three positive-sense, single-stranded genomic RNAs, designated alpha, beta, and gamma, that encode seven major proteins and one minor translational readthrough protein. Three proteins (alphaa, betaa, and gammaa) are translated directly from the genomic RNAs and the remaining proteins encoded on RNAbeta and RNAgamma are expressed via three subgenomic messenger RNAs (sgRNAs). sgRNAbeta1 directs synthesis of the triple gene block 1 (TGB1) protein. The TGB2 protein, the TGB2' minor translational readthrough protein, and the TGB3 protein are expressed from sgRNAbeta2, which is present in considerably lower abundance than sgRNAbeta1. A third sgRNA, sgRNAgamma, is required for expression of the gammab protein. We have used deletion analyses and site-specific mutations to define the boundaries of promoter regions that are critical for expression of the BSMV sgRNAs in infected protoplasts. The results reveal that the sgRNAbeta1 promoter encompasses positions -29 to -2 relative to its transcription start site and is adjacent to a cis-acting element required for RNAbeta replication that maps from -107 to -74 relative to the sgRNAbeta1 start site. The core sgRNAbeta2 promoter includes residues -32 to -17 relative to the sgRNAbeta2 transcriptional start site, although maximal activity requires an upstream hexanucleotide sequence residing from positions -64 to -59. The sgRNAgamma promoter maps from -21 to +2 relative to its transcription start site and therefore partially overlaps the gammaa gene. The sgRNAbeta1, beta2, and gamma promoters also differ substantially in sequence, but have similarities to the putative homologous promoters of other Hordeiviruses. These differences are postulated to affect competition for the viral polymerase, coordination of the temporal expression and abundance of the TGB proteins, and constitutive expression of the gammab protein

Study Intention Survey 2010: Research Report May 2011

The Secondary School Study Intentions Survey is now in its seventh year. The main objectives of this research are to identify secondary school students’ choice of programme, the level of qualification that students aspire to and the extent to which students would study in Tauranga. This report presents the results for nine secondary schools of Western Bay of Plenty, and where relevant compares the 2010 results with previous years

Evaluation of Familyfocus Lincolnshire Grub Club Project

A review of an innovative project undertaken by a family charity in Lincolnshire to engage and support families in changing patterns of eating and diet. It focuses on the holistic nature of the role and meaning of food within family dynamics. The research reviews the tailor made individual service with the provision of a nutritionist to work with families within their own homes to support change within the practicalities of everyday family life. Flexibility and an individual approach are found to be central to understanding and promoting change within diverse issues related to family diet, behaviour and relationships

Rosa: Interactive Active Graphic Narrative as a Tool for Teaching about Human Trafficking

Rosa is a Choose Your Own Adventure graphic novel-style story on the topic of human trafficking for young adults to interact with on the web. I chose to create this project in an attempt to help fill the gap in youth education in the area of human trafficking
