GCPH Seminar Series 2017-2018, Lecture 2: Museums and Public Health in Glasgow - the Lessons of History.
Justin Bradley . 07 Dec 2017 10:43
Justin Bradley . 07 Dec 2017 10:43
Mark is the former Head of Glasgow Museums and Associate Professor, College of Arts, University of Glasgow.
Museums all over the world are developing projects and programmes aiming to improve the health and wellbeing of their visitors, from dementia-friendly tours to art therapy, and from exhibitions promoting healthy living, to projects for people with mental health issues. Can museums make a difference to health and wellbeing? Even if they can, do museums have the capacity to make a real difference at a population level? This talk explored historical and recent evidence to formulate some conclusions about the potential of museums to improve health and wellbeing.
Using Glasgow as an example, this talk explored the connected histories of public health and public museums, as products of the Victorian era. Leading politicians of the time made an explicit link between cultural provision, and museums in particular, with public health. But were they right to do so? The second theme of this talk was recent epidemiological evidence that cultural attendance – simply visiting a museum or art gallery – has an influence on people’s health to such an extent that regular attenders live longer than infrequent visitors.
Today we face different disease challenges than those that faced the Victorians. The emergent disease conditions of the 21st century are poor mental health, loneliness, suicide, substance abuse and obesity. Against such a backdrop, what is the contemporary role of museums as part of a shared public sector contribution to human flourishing? And if museums do really make a difference to health and wellbeing, how can we maximise that contribution?
Week 11 - Relations on Sets
Justin Bradley . 30 Nov 2017 15:42
Justin Bradley . 30 Nov 2017 15:42
In this final unit of the current block we introduce the mathematical concept of relations between sets. We look at how relations differ from functions while noting that a function is actually a special types of relation. Different ways in which relations can be represented are discussed and include ordered pairs, arrow diagrams, matrices and directed graphs. Inverse and composite relations are briefly addressed before we investigate different types of relations (reflexive, symmetric and transitive) and methods for their classification. The important concepts of equivalence relations and equivalence classes are then described along with their properties. In closing the unit we look at the connection between equivalence relations and partitions of sets. The text is supported throughout with relevant examples and where appropriate references for further reading are provided.
Week 10 - Functions
Justin Bradley . 30 Nov 2017 15:31
Justin Bradley . 30 Nov 2017 15:31
In this unit, we look at the concept of a function and introduce some important functions that are fundamental in the study of mathematics and computing. The basic idea of a function is illustrated with a simple example before presenting some more formal definitions and terminology. A function defines a relationship between the elements of two sets and we present different ways to express this relationship including arrow diagrams, formulae, graphs and lists of ordered pairs. We look at how to identify whether a relationship is a function before considering whether functions meet specific criteria that classify them as one-to-one and/or onto functions. The idea of an inverse function is then presented and we illustrate how to calculate an inverse function when it exists and interpret the results graphically. The process of combining two, or more, functions through composition is then discussed. The unit closes with a brief look at some functions that commonly occur in computing and mathematics.

GCPH Seminar Series 2017-2018, Lecture 1: The journey from prison to parliament.
Justin Bradley . 26 Oct 2017 10:19
Justin Bradley . 26 Oct 2017 10:19
The majority of people in Scotland’s prisons come from marginalised communities of profound deprivation and poverty. Their lives are generally shorter, their levels of addiction higher and their mental health wellbeing poorer than the wider population. This raises questions as to whether incarceration is a civilised and just response to structural disadvantage. Can the experience of prison be reimagined to set people on positive trajectories? And if so, how can the range of other services tasked with transforming lives understand the place of ‘dark experiences’? This talk will explore and share some of the progress that has been made in changes to Scottish policy, practice and legislation by sharing the lived dark experience of punishment with those who can bring about purposeful and systemic change. It will consider ways the involvement of people who do not see themselves as having a role to play in justice could bring about a reduction in offending and re-offending in Scotland. It will explore the role of prison as a step on a road to change, thereby reducing the number of victims and levels of harm.

Week 4 - Logarithms
Justin Bradley . 13 Oct 2017 08:41
Justin Bradley . 13 Oct 2017 08:41
The previous unit introduced the term exponent to represent the repeated multiplication of a number by itself. For example, the exponent tells us how many times we need to multiply the number 10 by itself to obtain 1000, i.e. three times as 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000. Here the base is 10 and the exponent is 3. We now consider the closely related topic of what power a number must be raised to in order to obtain another number. The number being raised to the power is called the base and value of the power is called the logarithm.

Physical demands of training and competition in collegiate netball players
Justin Bradley . 26 Sep 2017 13:59
Justin Bradley . 26 Sep 2017 13:59
We investigated the physical demands of netball match-play and different training activities. 13 Eight collegiate netball players participated in the study. Heart rate (HR), rating of perceived 14 exertion (RPE), and accelerometer player load (PL) data were collected in four matches and 15 fifteen training sessions. Training sessions were classified as skills, game-based, traditional 16 conditioning, or repeated high intensity effort training. Accelerometer data was collected in 17 three planes, and was normalized to match-play/training time (PL/min, forward/min, 18 sideward/min and vertical/min). Centres had a higher PL/min than all other positions (Effect 19 size; ES = 0.67-0.91), including higher accelerations in the forward (ES = 0.82-0.92), sideward 20 (ES = 0.61-0.93) and vertical (ES = 0.74-0.93) planes. No significant differences (p > 0.05) 21 were found between positions for RPE and peak HR. Skills training had a similar PL to match-22 play. However, the mean HR of skills training was significantly lower than match-play and all 23 other modes of training (ES = 0.77-0.88). Peak HR for skills training (186 ± 10 beats.min-1) 24 and traditional conditioning (196 ± 8 beats.min-1) were similar to match-play (193 ± 9 25 beats.min-1). There were no meaningful differences in RPE between match-play and all modes 26 of training. The centre position produces greater physical demands during match-play. The 27 movement demands of netball match-play are best replicated by skills training, while 28 traditional conditioning best replicates the HR demands of match-play. Other training modes 29 may require modification in order to meet the physical demands of match-play. 30 31

In this section we extend the notion of a graph to include graphs in which “edges have a direction”. These kind of graphs are known as directed graphs, or digraphs for short. As shown in the diagram below the direction of an edge is defined so that movement between two vertices is only possible in the specified direction. The terminology for digraphs is essentially the same as for undirected graphs except that it is commonplace to use the term arc instead of edge. Digraphs can be used to model real-life situations such as flow in pipes, traffic on roads, route maps for airlines and hyperlinks connecting web-pages. We have actually encountered the concept of a digraph before in an earlier unit when we looked at relations on sets. In Section 3.3 of that unit, which was optional, we described how a
relation R could be represented diagrammatically by a digraph as an alternative to using an arrow diagram or a matrix.

In recent years graph theory has become established as an important area of mathematics and computer science. The origins of graph theory however can be traced back to Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler and his work on the Königsberg bridges problem (1735)

As the modulus, m, increases in size it quickly becomes impractical to use multiplication tables or trial and error to find inverses. The Extended Euclidean Algorithm provides a significantly more efficient method for determining the inverse of an integer a modulo m, when it exists.
We first show how the Extended Euclidean algorithm can be used to write the GCD of two integers a and m as a linear combination of these integers. If we define d = gcd(a, m) we seek integers x and y such that ax + my = d. In the special case when d = 1 we show how the value of x in the linear combination represents the inverse of a modulo m.
Week 6: Introduction to Number Theory
Justin Bradley . 21 Jun 2017 08:14

In this unit we introduce some elementary concepts from number theory that are used in many modern ciphers and related security systems. We start with some basic definitions before discussing the division algorithm which lies at the heart of the important Euclidean algorithm. The discussion then moves on to look at prime numbers and describes how
prime factorisation can be applied to express any integer, greater than one, as a product of primes. The concept of a greatest common divisor (GCD) of two positive integers is described and we discuss how prime factorisation can be used to calculate this quantity when the numbers are relatively small. We then introduce the Euclidean algorithm which
provides an efficient method for calculating the GCD of two integers regardless of their size.

In the previous section we saw how to add and subtract binary numbers provided the numbers and the corresponding results are non-negative. We now look at how negative numbers are represented by computers and how calculations involving negative numbers are performed.
Number Systems Part 1
Justin Bradley . 08 Jun 2017 07:50
Justin Bradley . 08 Jun 2017 07:50
In this unit we provide a general introduction to number systems and discuss how numbers are represented by computers. We start with a look at the three main systems that occur in computing applications; decimal (base 10), binary (base 2) and hexadecimal (base 16) and describe methods for converting between these three bases. A (very) brief discussion is also presented on conversions involving other bases such as octal (base 8). We then apply the basic techniques we use to add and subtract decimal numbers to enable us to perform these operations manually for binary numbers. The discussion moves on to look at how computers store and represent positive and negative numbers and the concept of signed and unsigned binary numbers is introduced. We present different approaches used by computers for storing numbers with the focus on two’s complement representation. The unit closes with a brief look at a selection of bitwise operators, supported in programming languages such as Java and C, to operate on binary numbers at the bit-level by treating them as strings of bits.

Propositional Logic 1
Justin Bradley . 25 May 2017 07:31
Justin Bradley . 25 May 2017 07:31
In this unit we present an introduction to propositional logic, a branch of science that is fundamental in the study of mathematics and computer science. The origin of logic dates back to the 3rd century BC and the Greek philosopher Aristotle who developed the earliest form of logical theory through rules for deductive reasoning. Modern mathematical logic is generally recognised as having started with the work of German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century. In the 19th century two English mathematicians, George Boole and Augustus De Morgan, are credited with extending the work of Leibniz and introducing symbolic logic. Other notable contributors to the development of propositional logic include the mathematicians, Gottlob Frege in Germany and Charles Pierce in the USA.
The unit begins with a brief overview of some of the terminology that features in propositional logic and the main logical operators (connectives) that are used in the construction of propositions are discussed in detail. Two special types of proposition known as tautologies and contradictions that are respectively always true or false are then described. The concept of logical equivalence is presented before we look at translating propositions from English to their corresponding symbolic form and vice-versa. The idea of a truth table, introduced earlier during the discussion on connectives, is then presented in further detail and we demonstrate how these tables can be used to prove properties such as logical equivalence. We then discuss how logical equivalence can be used to simplify propositions, identify tautologies and contradictions and prove identities. Next we look at how to determine whether a mathematical argument is valid or invalid based on how well the premises support the conclusion. To close the unit we briefly look at the role logic in computing, including simplifying expressions in computer programming and system specification.

GCPH Seminar Series 2016-2017, Lecture 5: Inequality and Scotland - measures of despair and signs of hope.
Justin Bradley . 28 Mar 2017 08:33
Justin Bradley . 28 Mar 2017 08:33
The talk describes recent trends in inequality and health in affluent countries and suggests that the UK and USA have become very unusual compared with global trends - with Scotland suffering as a result. There are signs of hope that people in these two, no longer very united, states are now beginning to realise that the growth of inequalities has caused, and is still causing, widespread harm. Signs of hope from elsewhere in the world where inequalities in many other places are much lower and/or falling are also explored.

Week 11 - Case Study: Completing the program
Justin Bradley . 21 Mar 2017 16:08
Justin Bradley . 21 Mar 2017 16:08
In this final increment we will complete the GCU adventure game. This means we have to meet the following requirements that were not met in the previous increments:
The sequence of turns should repeat until a command is given to quit
At each turn, the player can type a command to specify the action which he or she wants to take during that turn
The player should be able to ask for help during any turn instead of navigating
Meeting these requirements will give a program that behaves like a game and allows the player to engage and interact with the game. It is worth noting that although the game is a very simple one which is not really fun to play, the model we have built, using sound object oriented principles and practices, would provide a solid basis for the development of a more complex and interesting version of the game.

Week 12 - Creating a Graphical User Interface
Justin Bradley . 14 Mar 2017 12:23
Justin Bradley . 14 Mar 2017 12:23
In this module you have been using the BlueJ IDE, which is ideal when you are learning to program in Java and work with classes and objects. However, you don’t need to use BlueJ to write programs, and most advanced and professional developers prefer to use one of a range of sophisticated IDEs that are available for Java and provide a wide range of features to make development as productive as possible and provide help with, for example, creating graphical user interfaces. This week you will learn to use NetBeans to create a simple graphical interface for a Java program.

Week 8: Set Theory - Part 1
Justin Bradley . 07 Mar 2017 09:27
Justin Bradley . 07 Mar 2017 09:27
Whether we realise it or not we come across sets, in one form or another, on an almost daily basis. It may be the modules you are studying on your course, or the groceries that you bought in the supermarket last night, or even the teams that qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League in season 2016/17! These are all examples of sets.
This unit presents an introduction to sets starting with some basic definitions and an overview of the different ways in which sets are represented. The concept of a subset is introduced and conditions for the equality of sets are given. Operations on sets such as union, intersection and complement are described with the aid of Venn diagrams. We then discuss further set operations including partitions and Cartesian products before briefly considering computer representation of sets. The unit closes with a look at the union and intersection of intervals of the real number line when these intervals are represented as sets.

In this unit we continue with our work on matrices. We describe how to calculate the determinant of a 2 x 2 matrix and introduce the condition for the existence of an inverse matrix. A formula for calculating the inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix is presented supported by examples. Some applications of matrices in the real-world are then given, including solving linear systems of algebraic equations, computer graphics, cryptography and the modelling of graphs and networks.

This unit provides an introduction to vectors. We begin by defining what is meant by the term vector and describe how we distinguish vectors from scalars. The main properties of
vectors are presented and the concept of a position vector is introduced. We then look at operations on vectors such as addition, subtraction and scalar multiplication both
algebraically and graphically. The idea of a unit vector is introduced and we look at how to express the position vector of a point, in two and three dimensions, in Cartesian
components using the standard unit vectors in the directions of the coordinate axes. The unit closes with a look at how to calculate the scalar (dot) product of two vectors.
Science of Social Media - Project Launch
Justin Bradley . 16 Feb 2017 10:35
Justin Bradley . 16 Feb 2017 10:35
COMP6217 is based around a significant piece of group work - to create a design portfolio for a new social media website/app/tool/extension/platform. Teams work on their design throughout the semester, and keep a design and development blog that will act as a digital portfolio of their work. At the end of the semester they will also be asked to submit an individual reflective summary that will outline their teams objectives and progress, their part in its progress, and a critical analysis of whether or not they were successful. At the end of the course teams will be asked to pitch their ideas to an interdisciplinary Dragon's Den style panel who will expect them to not only have created something that is technical viable, but will also want to see other economic, social, legal and ethical factors taken into consideration.
In this presentation we explain the structure of the group project, what is expected in the blog, brainstorm ideas, and explore some potential ideas to help students understand the scope of the work required. The outcome of the group project does not have to be a fully working piece of software, instead we are looking for a well developed idea that contains enough detail to be convincing to the panel.

Justin Bradley . 18 Jan 2017 18:50
Justin Bradley . 18 Jan 2017 18:50
Testing can only show the presence of errors in a program. It cannot demonstrate that there are no remaining faults.
Development testing is the responsibility of the software development team. A separate team should be responsible for testing a system before it is released to customers.
Development testing includes unit testing, in which you test individual objects and methods component testing in which you test related groups of objects and system testing, in which you test partial or complete systems.
When testing software, you should try to ‘break’ the software by using experience and guidelines to choose types of test case that have been effective in discovering defects in other systems.
Wherever possible, you should write automated tests. The tests are embedded in a program that can be run every time a change is made to a system.

Implementation is the process of realizing the design as a program.
GCPH Seminar Series 2016-2017, Lecture 3: City neighbourhoods made by everyone for everyone.
Justin Bradley . 18 Jan 2017 09:12
Justin Bradley . 18 Jan 2017 09:12
Tessy Britton, Founder of Participatory City, London delivers the third lecture in this Seminar Series. Tessy describes the work of Participatory City and shares the research and analysis which has led to the development of a large scale Demonstration Neighbourhood in London. Participatory City is creating new structures designed to scale up practical participation, building collaborative activity into the fabric of everyday life and changing how we work together to achieve a more equal society.
We all believe that people doing more things together will make our own and each other’s lives better. However, participation in neighbourhood projects is low. Wide spread participation in neighbourhoods is difficult to achieve and remains small and fragmented. While we stay attached to the notion of top down and bottom up we won’t be able to change the situation. Unless we redesign how participation works and invest in it properly we won’t be able to fully realise its potential as a key building block for building sustainable cities of the future. Realising the vision we have of vibrant places, made by everyone, for everyone, will require fundamentally changing the structures through which we work together.

Reaction Mechanisms Booster (Self-assessment resources)
Justin Bradley . 07 Jan 2017 21:09
Justin Bradley . 07 Jan 2017 21:09
This is a set of resources aimed at promoting the development of the skills required to successfully identify and generate organic mechanisms in order to demonstrate a good understanding of the underlying chemical principles.
Students complete a task independently, and then mark their own work as they watch talking mark scheme videos where an expert explains how to get to the correct answers.
Our research has shown that engagement with these resources is perceived to be highly beneficial by students, and leads to an increase in their confidence to tackle mechanistic problems. If you are a non-UK (or non-A-level) teacher, the terms AS and A2 may be meaningless to you, but the resources should still be useful for anyone studying organic reaction mechanisms. The worksheets are available in Word format, and you should feel free to edit these to meet the needs of your students and the course you are teaching.
You can download the files individually by selecting them on the left and clicking download. Please watch the short briefing video on You Tube and read the teachers' notes carefully. Contact me on d.read@soton.ac.uk if you have and questions or comments. Additionally, I would like to thank Henry Pearson for suggesting the format of the alternative self-assessment proformas which you may choose to use with your students.
