- PublicationBlurring the lines: the vague boundary between mainstream and deviant internet pornography tags for at-risk viewers(Informa UK, 2024)Illegal material is increasingly appearing on popular mainstream websites.Many commentators worry about the impact of such material on adolescents’ psycho-sexual development and the potential for some legal pornography to act as a gateway to child sexual exploitation material for users of any age. In this study, we collected publicly available data from a popular legal pornography website to assess the risk of adolescent exposure to content that may hinder healthy psycho-sexual development. We analysed over 27 million customer searches involving 149 video tags from this site. Five international experts on the effects of pornography rated the tags, categorising them into five overlapping genres: mainstream, incestuous, underage, aggressive and non-consensual. They also assessed the potential risk each genre posed.Our analysis found a significant positive correlation between the harm ratings and the frequency of tags used as search terms. Additionally,eleven of the twelve tags with the highest mean risk scores involved potential underage and/or incestuous content. This study highlights a concerning relationship between the harm ratings of various pornographic genres and their popularity as search terms. While exploratory, these results emphasise the need for regulatory measures to address the presence of harmful material on mainstream websites.
- PublicationEnabling cyber resilient shipping through maritime security operation center adoption: a human factors perspective(Elsevier, 2024-09)The increased adoption of digital systems in the maritime domain has led to concerns about cyber resilience, especially in the wake of increasingly disruptive cyber-attacks. This has seen vessel operators increasingly adopt Maritime Security Operation Centers (M-SOCs), an action in line with one of the cyber resilience engineering techniques known as adaptive response, whose purpose is to optimize the ability to respond promptly to attacks. This research sought to investigate the domain-specific human factors that influence the adaptive response capabilities of M-SOC analysts to vessel cyber threats. Through collecting interview data and subsequent thematic analysis informed by grounded theory, cyber awareness of both crew onboard and vessel operators emerged as a pressing domain-specific challenge impacting M-SOC analysts' adaptive response. The key takeaway from this study is that vessel operators remain pivotal in supporting the M-SOC analysts’ adaptive response processes through resource allocation towards operational technology (OT) monitoring and cyber personnel staffing onboard the vessels.
- PublicationThe effect of therapeutic and deterrent messages on Internet users attempting to access ‘barely legal’ pornography(Elsevier, 2024-09)Online child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a growing problem. Prevention charities, such as Stop It Now! UK, use online messaging to dissuade users from viewing CSAM and to encourage them to consider anonymous therapeutic interventions. This experiment used a honeypot website that purported to contain barely legal pornography, which we treated as a proxy for CSAM. We examined whether warnings would dissuade males (18–30 years) from visiting the website. Participants (n = 474) who attempted to access the site were randomly allocated to one of four conditions. The control group went straight to the landing page (control; n = 100). The experimental groups encountered different warning messages: deterrence-themed with an image (D3; n = 117); therapeutic-themed (T1; n = 120); and therapeutic-themed with an image (T3; n = 137). We measured the click through to the site. Three quarters of the control group attempted to enter the pornography site, compared with 35 % to 47 % of the experimental groups. All messages were effective: D3 (odds ratio [OR] = 5.02), T1 (OR = 4.06) and T2 (OR = 3.05). Images did not enhance warning effectiveness. We argue that therapeutic and deterrent warnings are useful for CSAM-prevention.
- PublicationCyber-attack detection and isolation(2024-02)The research is depending on the increasing the rate of cyber-attacks within the issues in current platforms of an organizational. Companies are using various types of methods to minimize the chance of cyber-attacks. It is essential to help the criteria of the management that can help to establish various plans that can help to determining and controlling in the research. Companies are trying to establish strong firewalls that can reduce the hackers from the cyber-attack. It is necessary for the organization to establish such the attention that help the company to detect the basic ideas to handle the cyber-attacks. It is essential to develop to analyse that help the company to prevent issues.
- PublicationEscape Rooms prepare students with transferable skills for diverse work(2025-04-03)The evolving landscape of Vocational education and training (VET) continues to ask more of students. Students are expected to be equipped with the skills and competencies required to perform tasks in the workforce, but are also expected to be critical thinkers, with time management skills, who can work in diverse teams and adapt to change. Current industry feedback suggests that students are not meeting these requirements, showing an opportunity for educational innovations to target these areas and develop the transferrable skills (sometimes known as soft skills, or work-readiness skills) of students.

- PublicationEducating hospital patients to prevent falls: protocol for a scoping review(2019-09-17)Falls prevention in hospitals is an ongoing challenge worldwide. Despite a wide variety of recommended falls mitigation strategies, few have strong evidence for effectiveness in reducing falls and accompanying injuries. Patient education programmes that promote engagement and enable people to understand their heightened falls risk while hospitalised are one approach. The aim of this scoping review is to examine the content, design and outcomes of patient education approaches to hospital falls prevention. As well as critiquing the role of patient education in hospital falls prevention, strategies that can be used in clinical practice shall be recommended.
