Understanding Public Perceptions and Behaviours Towards COVID-19 Vaccination: A Multifaceted Analysis (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The rapid growth of social media platforms has led to an overwhelming influx of unstructured textual data, which provides valuable insights into public sentiment. However, analyzing this data presents significant challenges due to its informal langua...

Comparative Evaluation of Machine Learning and Signature-Based NIDS for Multi-Class and Binary Threat Detection (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are essential in safeguarding networks from evolving cyber threats. Traditional signature-based NIDS, such as Snort, struggle with zero-day attacks and lack adaptability. This study presents a unified, empir...

Effects of upper reinforcement in basketball shoes on ankle mechanics during a 135° cutting movement (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Cutting movements are a key component of the game of basketball with the ankle joint being an important consideration due to the increased loading of ankle joint and risk of ankle inversion injuries (Kristianslund et al., 2011). The influence of bask... Read More about Effects of upper reinforcement in basketball shoes on ankle mechanics during a 135° cutting movement.

POS1156 FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH TIME TO DIAGNOSIS OF AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS IN A UK POPULATION. A CROSS-SECTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL STUDY (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background:
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnosis is frequently delayed, with a median time from symptom onset to diagnosis of 2-5 years. Although many studies report prolonged time in receiving a diagnosis of... Read More about POS1156 FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH TIME TO DIAGNOSIS OF AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS IN A UK POPULATION.

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 1): Utilising adjustable sockets to influence prosthetic interface stiffness when comparing knee axis estimation methods. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Motion capture (MoCap) is widely used to study human ambulation. While optimisation to estimate the knee axis from MoCap markers has been explored in healthy populations [1-3], its effectiveness in transtibial prosthesis users remains unc...

Exploring transtibial prosthetic coupling (Part 2): Utilising knee axis estimation to investigate population trends between prosthesis characteristics and coupling movements. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

BACKGROUND
Prosthetic coupling, primarily pistoning, has been widely used to measure prosthetic fit quality. In lower-limb prosthetics, socket comfort and ambulatory function are key priorities for user satisfaction. However, the true influence of...

Examining the drivers of officers’ decisions to report their colleagues’ misconduct (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Existing research on the ‘blue code of silence’ has largely adopted Klockars et al’s (2004) vignette methodology, questioning officers about their willingness to report observed misconduct. Taking a different starting point, this research presented r... Read More about Examining the drivers of officers’ decisions to report their colleagues’ misconduct.
