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.

This paper is divided into two sections. In the first section, I present my understanding of ‘apocalypses,’ at first within game studies then more broadly. Following this I outline how I intend to contribute to the current discussion by drawing on posthuman theory to reframe apocalypses. I propose that my reading of apocalypses in video games could make a small contribution to writings on death (both in games and more broadly) by viewing apocalypses as calls for a heightened appreciation of t...

Nesta comunicação pretende-se compreender, do ponto de vista sociológico, os significados e as atribuições de sentido em relação à aplicação da biometria nas práticas de identificação criminal construídos pelos responsáveis por estas práticas no decurso da investigação criminal (inspetores da Polícia Judiciária) e pelo principal alvo destas práticas (indivíduos condenados por crime). Recorrendo a uma perspetiva teórico-metodológica do tipo interpretativo e qualitativo, são analisadas as repre...

Recent developments in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have spurred significant interest in their potential applications across various medical imaging domains. On the one hand, there is a temptation to use these generative models to synthesize realistic-looking medical image data, while on the other hand, the ability to identify synthetic image data in a pool of data is also significantly important. In this study, we explore the potential of the Gemini (gemini-1.0-pro-visionlatest) ...

The declining rate of biodiversity due to land, water and air pollution is alarming. Thus, stakeholders expect firms to engage with cleaner operational processes to preserve biodiversity and share undertaken practices with biodiversity disclosure. To provide a catalyst for biodiversity engagement and disclosure, we adopt two important mechanisms: the internal (i.e. board structure) and external governance mechanisms (the United Nations Global Compact [UNGC] signatory commitment and public gov...
