Investigating the United Kingdom's Role in Kleptocracy and Grand Corruption

Doctoral College
Summary
The United Kingdom and its overseas territories are a central conduit for the facilitation, and initiation of grand corruption schemes. Its financial sector is a nodal point for money laundering, its offshore territories are a conduit for secrecy and tax evasion, its service industry construct the conduits for warehousing illicit funds, its legal sector dilutes civic and public accountability, and its reputation launderers help clean the images of oligarchs, kleptocrats and organised criminals.
In addition to being a hub for facilitation services, the United Kingdom is a jurisdiction where traditional and emerging forms of grand corruption take place. Examples include the increasingly significant role of dark money in national political life, incidences of systemic cronyism (explicitly witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic), and state capture in the taxation arena by a professional services class that are instrumental in facilitating grand-sca ....

Implementation of nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Buildings) standards for low energy buildings of the future

Doctoral College
Summary
Within Europe, all member states are required to define and implement the Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standard for all new buildings from 2020 on. The EU requires member states to ensure that each country’s NZEB standard is not undermined by performance gaps between theoretical and actual use, and by poor indoor environmental quality. This provides challenges for all stakeholders, from those writing the building regulations, through to the architects, engineers, developers and tradespeople and ultimately to the owners of the dwellings built to these new standards.
In November 2019, Part L of the building regulations in Ireland for dwellings was updated to implement the NZEB standard, but is this fit for purpose, does it address the EU’s concerns about energy performance gaps and indoor air quality, and is the industry prepared to deliver the new regulations along with complimentary regulations such as the Smart Readiness Indicator?

Exploring G Protein-Coupled Receptor signaling in pancreatic islets as targets for diabetes and its complications

Summary
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has risen dramatically during recent decades and there is an urgent need to develop new approaches for therapeutic treatment that provide a combination of benefits, with fewer side effects and better patient outcomes. When diabetes is not managed, it can lead to serious complications including cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, blindness, kidney disease and premature mortality. CVD is a major cause of death and disability in diabetes, accounting for 52% of fatalities in those with type 2 diabetes.
New treatments are necessary due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes and its complications. In recent years, therapies that target the actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which stimulate insulin secretion through activation of beta cell G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been successful. This has resulted in substantial interest in targeting other islet GPCRs for diabetic therapies [1-3]. GPCRs are a superfamily of tr ....

Football Gambling and Youth in Africa

Doctoral College
Summary
Reflecting the global popularity of gambling among young people, youth participation in football betting has risen exponentially across sub-Saharan Africa in recent years. This has been facilitated by the spread and prevalence of mobile technology; the widespread popularity of football aided by satellite media broadcasting; weak macro-level regulatory regimes; and a recognition by the sports betting industry that African youth constitute a potentially lucrative market. In keeping with wider concerns around the profound harms that frequently accompany gambling, the prevalence of sports betting has been cited as one of the most pressing public health and societal issues on the African continent. ....
