Welcome to STORRE: Stirling Online Research Repository
STORRE holds a continually growing collection of the full text of the research outputs of University of Stirling authors. It includes published journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, working papers, etc. As a result of the University policy encouraging open access, the repository will continue to develop as an important source of free full text access to Stirling's research.
STORRE also holds the full text of all University of Stirling research theses from September 2006 onwards; covering PhDs, Masters of Philosophy and Masters by Research plus Professional Higher Degrees by Research. A small collection of our older theses is also included, and is continually added to, due to our involvement in the British Library's EThOS service.

Jones B & Hadland A (2024) South African Media and Politics: Is the Three Models Approach Still Valid After Two Decades?. <i>Media and Communication</i>, 12 (Special Issue: Communication Policies and Media Systems: Revisiting Hallin and Mancini’s Model), Art.

When Hallin and Mancini (2004) produced their watershed Three Models theory, South Africa was a new democracy barely a decade old. Even then, along with other countries of the Global South, the experience of a young democracy posed certain critical challenges to Hallin and Mancini's understanding of the way that media and politics interrelate. Two decades later, South Africa has continued to change. There has been increased diversity in media ownership, rapid growth in community and social me...

Background Unhealthy commodity industries (UCIs) engage in political practices to influence public health policy, which poses barriers to protecting and promoting public health. Such influence exhibits characteristics of a complex system. Systems thinking would therefore appear to be a useful lens through which to study this phenomenon, potentially deepening our understanding of how UCI influence are interconnected with one another through their underlying political, economic and social stru...
Mcgreevy E, Quinn A, Law R, Botha M, Evans M, Rose K, Moyse R, Boyens T, Matejko M & Pavlopoulou G (2024) An experience sensitive approach to care with and for autistic children and young people in clinical services. <i>Journal of Humanistic Psychology</i>. https://doi.org/10.1177/00221678241232442
See
Many support schemes in current autism clinical services for children and young people are based on notions of neuro-normativity with a behavioural emphasis. Such neuro-disorder approaches gradually undermine a person, restrain authentic self-expression, and fail to address the impact of a hostile world on autistic wellbeing. Furthermore, such approaches obscure attention from a fundamental challenge to conceptualise an alternative humanistic informed framework of care for staff working with ...

First paragraph: Eczema carries the highest global burden of all skin diseases and produces substantial disease-related morbidity worldwide and affects up to 15% of infants and 6% of older children. Eczema prevalence and time trends vary considerably between countries, but overall eczema appears to be increasing globally by an absolute rate of around 1% per decade in children and adolescents. Eczema is not a new disease, but the significant variation in eczema prevalence and time trends betwe...

Despite extensive evidence of bias resulting from industry sponsorship of research across health sciences, and longstanding concerns about alcohol industry research funding, there has not been a strong tradition of empirical research on this subject. This study explores researcher decision-making regarding industry funding at the early career stage and the consequences of such funding. Data were derived from semi-structured interviews with researchers working on alcohol policy-relevant topics...
