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.

See
Background International systematic reviews suggest an association between alcohol availability and increased alcohol-related harms. Alcohol availability is regulated through separate locally administered licensing systems in England and Scotland, in which local public health teams have a statutory role. The system in Scotland includes a public health objective for licensing. Public health teams engage to varying degrees in licensing matters but no previous study has sought to objectively cha...

See
Introduction We assessed the prevalence of prescribing of certain medications for alcohol dependence and the extent of any inequalities in receiving prescriptions for individuals with such a diagnosis. Further, we compared the effectiveness of two of the most prescribed medications (acamprosate and disulfiram) for alcohol dependence and assessed whether there is inequality in prescribing either of them. Methods We used a nationwide dataset on prescriptions and hospitalisations in Scotland, U...

The role of housing in providing a welfare asset in later life has been widely explored. With the growth in home-ownership, house price inflation, and erosion of the welfare state, housing wealth has increasingly become part of the welfare mix in advanced economies. In this paper we present analysis of housing outcomes in terms of tenure and asset value, among people who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual in Great Britain. This shows that LGB people have poorer housing outcomes than their h...

See
This study focuses on potential inhibiting and driving factors of corporate social responsibility (CSR) controversies including board monitoring intensity and audit committee quality with a particular focus on risky firms. We draw on agency, resource dependence, and slack financial resources theories to explain this association. Using an international sample between 2002-2019 and executing fixed-effects regression and Hayes’s moderation analysis methodology, we find that risky firms tend to c...

In 2016, we carried out a wildlife survey in the Lefini Reserve and the Lesio-Louna Reserve in the south of the Republic of Congo. The aim was to identify the relative abundance and distribution of large mammals, and the trends since the previous survey in 2009. The last time that Bouvier’s red colobus Piliocolobus bouvieri had been recorded in the area was in the early 1970s. All subsequent surveys had failed to find it, and the species was considered to have been locally extirpated. During ...
