    Abstract The bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., is a common ectoparasite found to live among its vertebrate hosts. Antennal segments in bugs are critical for sensing multiple cues in the environment for survival. To determine whether the thermo receptors of bed bugs are located on their antennae; innovative bioassays were created to observe the choice between heated and unheated stimuli and to characterize the response of bugs to a heat source. Additionally, the effect of complete antenectomized segments on heat detection were evaluated. Heat, carbon dioxide, and moisture are cues that are found to activate bed bug behavior; a temperature at 38°C was used to assess the direction/degree at which the insect reacts to the change in distance from said stimulus. Using a lightweight spherical ball suspended by air through a vacuum tube, bed bugs and other insects are able to move in 360° while on a stationary point. Noldus EthoVision XT was used to capture video images and to track the bed bugs during 5-min bioassays. A bioassay was created using four Petri dish arenas to observe bed bug attraction to heat based on antennae segments at 40°C. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of heat on complete antenectomized segments of the antennae. The results in this experiment suggest that bed bugs detect and are attracted to heat modulated by nutritional status. Learning the involvement of antennae segments in heat detection will help identify the location and role of thermoreceptors for bed bug host interaction.

    Abstract Introduction: Pain and discomfort has a negative impact on a patient's overall experience and may impact on subsequent re-attendance to mammography. Pain during mammography remains a significant issue. Assessment of interventions to reduce levels of pain associated with mammography are essential to increase attendance to breast services and improve user experience.
    Methods: Participants (n = 60) were invited to take part in the study at one hospital Trust within the UK. Postal invitations were sent 2 weeks prior to appointment to patients older than 40 years with previous mammography attendance at the same Trust to allow for comparison of previous and current pain scores/compression values. Patients were randomised into 3 groups: Binaural music (BM), non-binaural music (NBM) and standard care (C). A numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to rate pain.
    Results: Patient tolerance is increased by the application of both the non-binaural and binaural music. Binaural music was most effective in improving patient tolerance (p = 0.02). When applied compression increased some patients recorded less pain, which may have implications to image quality and radiation dose for patients. Binaural music reduces the perception of mammographic pain within this data set.
    Conclusion: 5 min exposure to binaural music improves patient experience and tolerance for mammography which could be utilised to improve attendance rates in screening and symptomatic services.
    Implications for practice: There is an indication for further research looking at application prior and during interventional biopsies. Music intervention can be offered to patients in the severe pain category who refuse mammography. It is acknowledged from these findings that the introduction of BM and NBM prior to mammography would be a low risk, cost effective intervention within the hospital setting.

    Abstract Exposure to idealized social media imagery has been shown to be detrimental to body image among young women, and social media literacy may be protective. This mixed methods study aimed to evaluate the effects of an online video narrated by a high-profile, plus-size model on the body image and negative mood of young women and predictors of the effects. A sample of 304 young women, average age 20.95 (SD = 2.09) years, completed an online survey including pre- and post-exposure measures of state body image and negative mood, and trait measures of upward social media appearance comparison, thin-ideal internalization, and selfie-investment. A subset (n = 148) responded to open-ended questions to obtain feedback on the video coded categorically and through thematic analysis. Findings revealed immediate improvements in state body satisfaction and negative mood, with higher levels of trait appearance comparison and selfie investment associated with smaller effects of the video. Participants endorsed the video as raising awareness of unrealistic images but limited in terms of mitigating appearance comparison and selfie-investment. Furthermore, participants described that Iskra's status as a professional model also influenced their reactions. These findings highlight the importance of assessing for unintended paradoxical effects of social media literacy efforts and ensuring that such interventions are empirically based.

    Abstract My research is based on environmental insults and the role they play in the stress physiology of insects using the phenomena known as hormesis. The positive or negative biphasic response that occurs in the presence of mild stress is hormesis. Hormesis can be protective as a multifarious response that results in upregulation of genes and organismal performance. This multifarious response refers to the many responses that can occur simultaneously as animals age. The response of said genes are in reference to the organism’s natural ability to protect itself from abiotic and biotic stressors. The protective effects of hormesis in animal models includes improved survival, mating, extended longevity, and improved performance at old age (i.e. mating); amongst others (Chapter 2). I observe responses from UVA (Chapter 3), Anoxia and Gamma radiation (Chapter 4), and Heat (Chapter 5) in insects Drosophila Melanogaster and Cimex lectularius. The sun is a source of energy used by terrestrial life in many trophic levels allowing for exposure to irradiation (UVR), a natural environmental stressor that increases production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This type of environmental stress is damaging by attacking lipids, proteins and DNA. Exposure to prolonged UVR conditions early in life (pupae) leads to changes in performance later in life. This response can be classified as preconditioning, pretreatment, conditioning, or cross tolerance. Previous studies scantily provide appropriate levels of exposure needed for UVR hormesis that would increase production of ROS and antioxidant enzymes. The age of the individual at the time of treatment can have dramatic effects on hormesis with low dose UVR effects that induce protection, an extension of normal life span and improved organismal performance shown in other insects (Calabrese 2013). The vinegar fly, Drosophila melanogaster, was exposed to UVA at different intensities. Vials containing pupae, separated from food and kept in same vial were exposed to 0, 30, 45 or 60 minutes of ultraviolet radiation A (nm = 365). Different rates of UVA exposure (mW/m2), produced by the distance from the source, show slight differences in treatment survival/adult emergence and flight ability. My data show cellular protection that occurs from doses of direct stress that do not induce mortality, aiding in the Preparation for Oxidative Stress (POS) hypothesis (Hermes-Lima et al., 1998; Hermes-Lima and Zenteno-Savıń , 2002; Giraud-Billoud et al., 2019). This hypothesis is defined by the preparation or the pre-conditioning that occurs when boosting cellular defenses through applied stress early in life. Low doses of UVR lead to protective and beneficial responses, while exposures to high doses are damaging and detrimental. The experimental data fills knowledge gaps on my intentions of finding the cost associated with hormesis as an adaptive response. Ultimately, data such as these can be refined to develop a model of dose response that can be used to estimate hormesis, or the biphasic response.
