Outline Poaching is a significant challenge around the world. Anti-poaching efforts are always under-funded and under-resourced. Law enforcement officers cannot keep up with a large number of poachers who are trying to kill animals. Due to limited manpower, they cannot patrol and protect vast areas of land (e.g. sanctuaries). Proposed Solution (In Brief): In this PhD project, we will combine data gathered by bioscience researchers and environmental scientists to predict where poaching activities may occur in the future. Our data-driven prediction models will identify areas and time frames which have a high likelihood of becoming poaching incidents, thereby enabling law enforcement agencies...

Outline The first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) tasks countries with eradicating poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions. It also requires estimates of poverty to apply to adults and children, which necessitates the development of suitable measures and indicators to reflect the distinct needs of children. This presents a challenge for poverty researchers and national statistical offices charged with collecting data to monitor progress on meeting of this ambitious target. This PhD focuses on how the different dimensions of poverty relating to children might be mapped out, and compared, using a method called the Consensual Approach. This approach has been applied...

Outline Chronic poverty - that is prolonged exposure to the conditions associated with or caused by insufficient resources to attain a minimally acceptable standard of living - is a major global challenge, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions around the world. Governments, NGOs and UN agencies seeking to address chronic poverty have spent billions of dollars on anti-poverty programmes, and yet in far too many instances these have failed to raise people, families and communities out of poverty. Well known bottlenecks persist (including a range of bureaucratic, administrative, and cultural contexts) and these combine to keep people below an already low threshold, in poverty for much of...

Outline Over the last 40 years, there has been a significant increase in overweight and obesity in high, middle- and low-income countries. This PhD would conduct secondary analysis of existing Demographic and Health Surveys, Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey and other secondary data sources to look at the relationship between a national level of urbanisation and increases in body mass index. This PhD will be the first truly global study of this phenomenon, considering a range of measures of urbanization, nutritional status and nutritional policies as well as utilizing a range of advanced quantitative methods. This PhD will aim to present a clear narrative of the different nutritional...

Outline Many skin disorders are associated with psychological issues, which may arise from either stigma associated with the skin condition and/or from loss of function of the underlying genes which act in both the skin and the brain; additionally, these disorders may be associated with medical comorbidities which could have effects on quality of life. Our work focusses on X-linked ichthyosis (XLI), a genetic condition associated with significantly increased risk of developmental/mood disorders and associated symptoms (e.g. ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, inattention, depression-anxiety, irritability), as well as heart problems (arrhythmia)[1-3]. Other work in Cardiff has demonstrated a...

Outline Recent evidence from our laboratory Evans et al., (2020; Acta Neuropathologica) indicates that promoting the activity of the brain's regulatory renin angiotensin system (via boosting ACE2 activity) both protects against the development of and reverses established cognitive deficits and reduces amyloid pathology in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. This project will elaborate on the mechanism of action using knock-in mouse models of amyloid pathology. We aim to understand how ACE2 activation influences memory processes in knock-in mouse models and how ACE2 activation changes normal and age-related decline in synaptic plasticity in AD mice. The student will use behavioural tests,...

Outline This project offers a unique opportunity to investigate the use of multi-sensory environments (MSEs; also called Snoezelen(r) or sensory rooms) by autistic children. MSEs contain equipment that modify sensory input, usually in the auditory, visual and tactile domains. They are common features of special needs schools and are commonly integrated into a 'sensory curriculum' in the UK (Hogg et al., 2001). The positive impact of MSEs has been primarily attributed to meeting sensory needs of users, facilitating social interaction, and providing control over the environment (Baillon et al., 2002; Botts et al., 2008; Hogg et al., 2001). MSEs are widely used with autistic children, who...
