A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Myoelectric Origami‐Based Soft Robotic Knee Exoskeleton to Enhance Sit‐to‐Stand Assistance in Elderly Populations

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight Miura‐origami soft knee exoskeleton powered by vacuum actuation and integrated with a multimodal physiological intent‐recognition system, providing real‐time assistance during sit‐to‐stand movement to reduce muscle effort and improve user comfort.

Structural problems without structural solutions? Youth leaders' perceptions of their community

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract As young people explore and reflect on the conditions of their neighborhoods and communities, they can forge a critical consciousness—merging their perspectives and analysis to direct both individual and collective actions. Photovoice is a methodological tool that allows participants to document their perspectives and analysis and discuss with

Maintaining trust in uncertain times: Funding pauses and the ethical cost to community‐engaged research

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Federal funding pauses, once considered rare, are increasingly disrupting the stability and continuity of community‐engaged research. Even projects with active, awarded grants are experiencing the strain of funding uncertainty, raising substantive concerns among research teams and community partners. These disruptions extend beyond operational

Denial of Inpatient Genetic Testing: A Study on Outpatient Yield and Outcomes

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic conditions suspected in children often require genetic testing for accurate diagnoses, but testing remains costly. Case management teams review genetic test requests to improve access for patients while reducing the financial burden for medical institutions.

Arylhydrazines: Convenient Homogeneous Reductants for Scalable Cross‐Coupling

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Reductive cross‐couplings enable efficient C–C bond formation but are limited by the heterogeneity of Zn or costly reagents like TDAE. We report arylhydrazines as inexpensive, convenient reductants for Ni‐catalyzed sp2–sp3 coupling of aryl halides and secondary alkyl iodides. Mechanistic studies support hydrazine‐mediated NiII reduction for a NiI/NiIII

Superannuation Reimagined: Moving Beyond the Origins to an Indigenous Focus

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retirement income systems, such as superannuation, are meant to be non‐discriminatory and consider disadvantage faced by members of society. There are significant differences between the life expectancies of Indigenous and non‐Indigenous peoples. The gap in life expectancies is not considered when determining when Indigenous peoples can retire.

Understanding the Housing and Support Experience of People With Complex Disability in Australia: A Qualitative Analysis of Submissions to the Disability Royal Commission

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Australian government established the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (‘Disability Royal Commission’, DRC) to investigate widespread mistreatment of people with disability. Nearly 10,000 people with disability, their families and supporters engaged with the DRC.
