The realisation of child agency: to what extent do curriculum policy and practice in Scottish schools foster the agency of young people as active participants in the world?

Nurolight helps people living with dementia and their carers to sleep better at home through a smart home lighting system which improves their natural sleep/week cycle throughout the day by providing bright light therapy, set to evidence-based lighting specifications. Nurolight meets three of the seven themes of the Healthy Ageing challenge as further described below, and will: - Maximise independence of those living with dementia and minimise hospital or care admissions - Mitigate the impacts of poor housing design on those with dementia - Increase quality of life, lower mortality and reduce incidents of dementia over time.

As natural habitats are confronted with substantial environmental change, we urgently need more information on the resilience of at-risk populations in the face of disturbance. How will species react to the decreased resources levels and increased uncertainty in resources that future environments promise? Will populations adjust their usage of space to compensate for local reductions in environmental quality, or will they adjust their diet to make the best of what is available in altered habitats? Historically, our efforts to predict how organisms will respond to environmental stress has been hampered because of challenges in studying both how wild animals exploit space and what they eat. This PhD studentship will contribute to an ongoing project that brings movement ecology and nutritional ecology together in one coherent framework to study animal resilience in the face of environmental change. Sexually dimorphic species can shed light on factors affecting resilience. Although habitat and dietary choices differ substantially across species, drawing inferences on how these factors affect resilience to change is quite difficult because different taxa vary in many characters in addition to habitat and diet. Intraspecific sexual differences in functional traits also have dramatic effects on how individuals acquire and use environmental resources. Species with strong dimorphism are therefore ideal for studying how functional traits affect resilience to disturbance. The extreme sexual dimorphism of Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) presents an opportunity to study plasticity in diet and habitat use within the same species, a sharp contrast that isolates spatial and dietary differences from other variables including differences due to phylogenetic background.Mandrills are the most sexually dimorphic primates(Fig. 1). In addition to the remarkable ornaments that are important for sexual signalling, males weigh three times as much as females and take much longer to reach sexual maturity. Both ornamental traits and size have strong links with resource availability, and may at least partly explain observations of sexual differences in space use within Lopé NP in Gabon, where members of our team have been observing mandrills for many years (Fig. 2). Whatever the proximate cause of differences in space use, females exploit a wider range of habitats, and travel within very large groups, while mature males range less and spend much of the year outside of the group.

This project offers the first full-length study of Alberto Muenala's cinema. Muenala is an Ecuadorean-Kichwa director and a pioneer of Indigenous film in Latin America from its earliest years, and co-founder of Corporación Rupai, now a hub of young Kichwa media activism. Throughout his career, Muenala has been involved in and influenced a range of transnational Indigenous productions. The legacy of his film and community activism is thus profound, but unrecognised and largely undocumented, unlike other large Indigenous community film projects with similar trajectories. This project addresses that gap by providing the first full study of this history, whilst simultaneously exploring appropriate decolonial research methodologies for studying this work. It will thus record and preserve a history which is part of the living Kichwa (and world) cultural heritage, broaden knowledge of Latin American Indigenous cinema for a general audience and provide a space for critical reflection on Indigenous film production. The project will also disseminate research findings and raise awareness about the importance of Indigenous film for world cultural heritage by organising public engagement events in the form of film showcases and workshops, via a multilingual website and through collaboration with members of Rupai on the planning stages of a documentary on this film history.
