Kaftantzi, Lamprini V. "Regenerative medicine translation : the UK bioentrepreneur experience." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2010. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3031/.

Abstract:

Regenerative Medicine is an emerging biomedical paradigm promising to radically change healthcare. For this to happen, basic science breakthroughs must be translated into the clinical setting and market. This thesis examines the evolving Regenerative Medicine Translation process from the perspective of UK-based bioentrepreneurs. While much is known about the views of scientists, clinicians and industry stakeholders, an understanding of what it is to be an RM entrepreneur and company founder and often drive the whole process has not been fully explored. Based on interviews with bioentrepreneurs

Abstract:

Environmental problems such as climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions present alarming challenge to carbon intensive energy systems. In response, the European Union at the regional level and the United Kingdom at the national level responded to this development by formulating and implementing proactive low carbon transition policies over the past few decades. Using recent transition theories, this thesis provides explorative analysis of low carbon transition pathways that have taken place and that are likely to take place, in the UK road transport and electricity generation sec

Abstract:

Patient confidentiality has received much attention in recent years because of the rise in the number of confidentiality breach incidents and the need to improve the provision of health services in general. Patient confidentiality is defined as the patients‟ right to the protection of their personal medical information within health institutions under normal conditions. While literature on the protection of patient confidentiality exists, there is little or no attempt made to use a theoretical model to represent this, and hence, with which to appraise the practice of patient confidentiality in

Abstract:

The growth in numbers of Kenyans seeking study opportunities in international settings has increased in the last ten years. Despite this growth, there is a clear and growing epistemological gap on student’s expectations and their experience, practice by host institutions and countries and how this impacts on students experience and study outcomes. To gain knowledge in this grey area, a case study design using a cross-sectional and a mixed data collection method was adopted. Data was collected in three stages beginning with a survey where questionnaires (N=300) were administered to Kenyan stude

This is the first known study of stockmarket reaction to U.K. sell-off announcements. Earlier U.S. studies have found positive market reaction to sell-off announcements. Various of these have aimed to relate the magnitude of marketreaction to factors such as price declaration, completion of agreement and financial strength of divestor. This study also explores the impact of the above factors and their inter-relationships. Typical event-study methodology is used in estimating the size of the unexpected market reaction, the so called abnormal return. Separate analysis of sub-samples is undertake

Digital banking through telephone, internet and mobile is becoming important for banks’ service marketing, especially with the increase in digital device usage and customer demand for financial services. The changing dynamics of banking means that banks’ performance is no longer solely dependent on branch sales. Capturing and retaining customers are vital for banks, and digital banking is becoming the tool of choice; however research on how it affects customer experience and UK banks’ performance is still limited.

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new radical social movement focused on climate change. This thesis explores the experience and negotiation of growth within the climate direct action (CDA) movement, and provides an ethnography of its politics, values and strategies. The thesis is situated at the intersection of meso level studies of movement and organisational growth, and micro level studies of individual participation. It argues that the field of social movement studies has neglected the ways in which participation is actively shaped by the understandings and practices of moveme

Abstract:

This thesis explores the extent and nature of transport disability experienced by people aged 16-69 with physical or sensory impairments when travelling around Swansea, South Wales. Existing studies have attempted to measure transport disability, but have generally failed to link it to wider theoretical or structural concerns, or to explore disabled people's responses to transport disability. This study addresses both gaps, while making links between two bodies of literature: one concerned with transport policy and planning, and the other with theoretical understandings of the nature of disabi

This Doctoral research reports on a qualitative case study conducted to explore the adaptation experience of a cohort of Mexican international students pursuing a postgraduate degree at a prestigious university in England during the 2016-2017 academic calendar. Because the early stage of the transition has been acknowledged as a critical period (Ward, Furnham and Bochner, 2001; Brown, 2008) and a holistic understanding of the participants' experience is to be captured by considering the pre-arrival stage (Schartner, 2014), this thesis focused on the pre-arrival period and the first four weeks

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in any young person is a tragic event with a significant number of life-years lost. Previous data from Italy suggest that pre-participation screening using an electrocardiogram (ECG) reduces the incidence of SCD in competitive athletes. However, the majority of SCD occurs in non-athletes within the general population. In the United Kingdom, state sponsored screening for cardiac disorders is confined to symptomatic individuals or those with a family history of inherited cardiac conditions or premature cardiac death.

This thesis explores how a competitive marketplace is experienced by creative labour in the context of UK urban music by employing an experimental ethnographic research approach.

Abstract:

Multisensory perception is fundamental to the wearer’s experience of everyday dress, yet this remains an under-researched area within fashion and dress studies. Dress is predominantly described in visual terms, while much less attention has been paid to other relevant sensory aspects such as; touch, sound,smell - and to a lesser degree taste - and to the ways in which these interact. Similarly, within the now established field of sensory scholarship, little attention has been paid to the topic of dress. One of the contributions of this thesis is to address the above gaps in relation to both ma

Abstract:

In the past decades, European labour markets have undergone profound changes, witnessing a process of liberalisation and flexibilisation, in part through the spread of various forms of atypical employment. These new forms of employment have been argued to be of generally lower quality than standard employment, presenting several disadvantages across a range of employment-related dimensions. Nevertheless, the disadvantages experienced by atypical workers are argued to differ depending on nationally specific institutional settings, as employment regulations, welfare institutions and collective r

Abstract:

This thesis contains the photochemical investigation and synthesis of ten Manganese(I) Tricarbonyl complexes bound to variably functionalised 5-aryl-tetrazolato ligands. When irradiated with light, all 10 of the complexes simultaneously released three CO ligands, degrading into their original components and MnO2. The thesis also consists of the study of three Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes, with the general formulation Re(N^L)(CO)3X, with the aim of exploring their photophysical and photochemical properties. The two complexes bound to the thione ligand were found to undergo reversible ligand exch

Abstract:

The present thesis is an empirical investigation into various aspects of the functioning of financial markets. The first chapter includes two studies of the behaviour of the stock market: in the first one, the reaction to announcements of rights issues is analysed and several hypotheses are tested for a sample of UK companies. In the second study a switching regression model is applied to aggregate stock price data to see if a two-states model is better able to describe the behaviour of stock market prices. The second chapter investigates the empirical relationship between managerial ownership
