FOREWORD FROM THE DEAN AND THE ASSOCIATE DEAN

OF RESEARCH

A critical activity for every PhD student is the ability to present your work and to obtain feedback from others. It is important to have good supervisors, but you should be able to get across to a wider audience what you are doing and why. By doing so you are forced to concentrate on the essence of your study and to find attractive ways to communicate it. It will provide you with feedback that is different from that you may get from your supervisors. It may give you some new ideas for follow-up studies and it becomes clear which parts of your study are well understood and which parts are not. It is very important to get inspiration from others too. Are they conducting completely different studies or are there some similarities? Is there a relationship between research questions and research methods? Which presentations really inspire you?

In these unprecedented times, we come up with unexpected and creative solutions

to deal with pressing issues such as safeguarding life or with ideas to help families and individuals dealing with the social challenges of isolation and lockdown. We see many of such projects popping up around us. Those who have embarked on research projects before the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, now need to deal with its consequences. Some of us find our research interrupted whilst others are able to work remotely. We may not have access to lab facilities and cannot invite subjects for testing but other activities, such as reading, writing, online surveys and online expert interviews can still go on. We can of course bring our creative problem-solving skills to our own challenges of working remotely.

For all of these reasons we carry on with our DesRes2020 publication, even in these difficult times and celebrate the vibrancy of our research community!

CEES CEES DE BONTDEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF DESIGN

Design research at Loughborough University goes from strength to strength with a growing and ever more diverse variety of research projects in well-established areas such as digital design and fabrication; human factors and ergonomics and safety whilst our expertise in other areas such as user centred design, inclusive design, experience design and sustainability are being reframed into more interdisciplinary fields such as responsible design and future living.

Each year our PhD students deliver a research conference, which provides the students with an opportunity to present and discuss their work with their peers and academics. This year of course our conference could not be held in the traditional manner; but despite the challenges we currently face our PhD community have come together, met the challenges of remote working and produced this visual presentation of their research.

In situations of limited oxygen availability linked with oxygen uptake. In situations of limited oxygen availability (hypoxia), whether through circulatory disorders or environmental (hypoxia), whether through circulatory disorders or environmental exposure, the accompanying thermoregulatory tendency is that of exposure, the accompanying thermoregulatory tendency is that of hypothermia.
