Item Restricted Food Safety in UK Households: The Influence of Concerns Regarding Food Poisoning and Demographics on Compliance with Meat and Poultry Handling Guidelines(The university of Leeds, 2024-08-30) Alsufyani, Nuha Hameed; Ensaff, HannahThis study investigated whether concern about food poisoning (e.g., Salmonella and E. coli) influences household compliance with hygiene guidelines for handling raw meat and poultry at home, and how demographic factors affect this compliance. A secondary analysis of the data from the “Food and You 2” survey (wave 6) by the Food Standards Agency, involving 4,893 respondents from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, was conducted. Descriptive statistics, Chi-Square tests, and logistic regression were used to explore relationships between variables. Results showed that 53% of respondents exhibited high compliance with hygiene guidelines. Concern about food poisoning was significantly associated with higher compliance (57% vs. 48%, p<0.001). The logistic regression showed that concerned individuals were 48% more likely to report high compliance. Additionally, age, sex, employment, and being the main food provider were significantly associated with compliance, while marital status and income were not significant predictors. Specifically, increasing the age predicts higher compliance with 18% for each decade, females were 19% more likely to comply than males, employed individuals had 37% higher odds of compliance compared to unemployed, and main food providers were over 2 times as likely to comply as non-regular cooks. The study concludes that food poisoning concerns and demographic factors, particularly age and being the main food providers, play significant roles in predicting compliance with hygiene guidelines. These findings can inform targeted public health interventions to enhance food safety practices, especially among younger populations and less frequent cooks.19 0Item Restricted Legal implications of digital currency on traditional commercial transactions(Bangor University, 2024) Alshehri, Mohammad; Andrew, BakerThe dissertation examined the legal implications of digital currency integration into traditional commercial transactions and proposed regulatory adaptations to address the connected challenges. The dissertation adopted a secondary research methodology with a doctrinal legal research approach and analysed data from academic journals, industry documents and regulatory reports. The legal aspect of the study, including legislation and case laws, was analysed using the doctrinal legal research method. Thematic analysis of the secondary sources helped to synthesise the findings to respond to the five key research questions on the evolution of UK laws on money digitisation, regulatory challenges and integration into traditional contractual frameworks, implications for consumer protection and regulatory compliance and lastly, policy recommendations. The findings indicated that even though digital currencies are beneficial as they enhance data privacy, are cost-effective and leverage the gains of smart contracts, major challenges like regulatory uncertainty and legal ambiguities remain. The dissertation recommended policies such as establishing guidelines for adaptive regulation, strengthening AML measures, enforcing fair and transparent practices, promoting standards for data privacy and security and launching consumer education programmes. The implications of the study extend to financial institutions, regulators, policymakers and consumers, with the suggestion that digital currency integration into traditional financial systems calls for clear regulatory adaptation. Future research should assess the success of collaborative efforts among stakeholders and analyse the wider economic impacts of digital currency integration21 0Item Restricted A Critical Analysis of The Use of Regulatory Technologies by the European Financial Sector(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-09-01) Alblowi, Abdullah; Martins, ClaraThis dissertation focuses on the Regtech phenomena from a legal perspective in the context of the EU.
