Loot boxes are purchasable items in video games with a chance-based outcome. They have attracted substantial attention from academics and legislators over recent years, partly because of associations between loot box engagement problem gambling. Some researchers suggested that may act as gateway into subsequent gambling and/or However, such "gateway effects" not been formally investigated. Using survey 1102 individuals who both purchase gamble, we found 19.87% the sample self-reported either...
Excessive engagement with (increasingly prevalent) loot boxes within games has consistently been linked disordered gambling and/or gaming. The importance of recognising and managing potential risks associated box involvement means understanding contributing factors is a pressing research priority. Given that motivations for gaming have informative in risky those behaviours, this qualitative study investigated buying boxes, through in-depth interviews 28 gamers from across the UK. A reflexive...
Loot boxes are purchasable randomised rewards in video games that share structural and psychological similarities with gambling. Systematic review evidence has established reproducible associations between loot box purchasing both problem gambling gaming. We aimed to measure the association engagement socioeconomic correlates.The study was a cross-sectional online survey using recruitment platform, Prolific.United Kingdom (UK).A cohort of 16 196 UK adults (18 + years) self-reporting as...
ABSTRACT The ages and origins of saline ground waters in coastal aquifers can be important indicators local aquifer flow characteristics. Unfortunately, attempts to classify such using established trilinear diagram techniques are frequently inconclusive due largely the dominance sodium chloride ions. In a study from Chalk limestone eastern central England, an alternative, less conventional, dilution procedure is employed which reveals previously unrecognized differences major ion chemical...
A selected group of measurements the sky brightness during total solar eclipses is used to determine a standard light curve period from no obscuration totality. It found that may be considered as attenuated sunlight up at least 99.8% obscuration. During totality, consists multiply scattered outside umbral region. The effects elevation angle, cloud cover, and albedo variability totality are discussed.
ABSTRACT The paper reviews background data on chlorinated solvents and all published in UK groundwaters. New from an aquifer‐wide survey of the organic water quality Birmingham aquifer (carried out by University Water Research Centre (WRc)) show that contamination is extensive greater than observed previously studies. Trichloroethylene particularly apparent aquifer, with 40% boreholes sampled containing waters above new limit for this contaminant. Fortunately not used public supply. Land use...
There is good evidence for effective transfer of learning from virtual to real-world environments, and this holds true even complex spatial tasks such as route learning. However, there little research into the simple equivalence an individual's performance across real important topic which could support use reality assessment tool. This pilot study compared route-learning in a desktop town with around route. Participants were "driven" through different (but equally complex) suburb, then...
Background North American studies show bipolar disorder is associated with elevated rates of problem gambling; however, little known about in the different presentations illness.
