Streamlining COM-B model: Insights from the Healthy Eating Context

open access: yesAppetite
The global rise in diet-related diseases highlights the urgent need for effective behavioural interventions. While theoretical frameworks like the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model are valuable for understanding and influencing healthy eating behaviours, their practical application is often hindered by complexity and extensive

Utilising the ‘COM‐B’ bio‐psychosocial approach to aid diabetes management

open access: yesPractical Diabetes, 2022
AbstractWith many individuals living with diabetes failing to make the necessary behaviour change to optimise glycaemic control1 it is imperative that staff involved in their care have the skills required to guide them in this respect. The COM‐B assists in this regard as it provides a behaviour‐change model based on scientific evidence and theory in a ...

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Shape Memory Polymers: From Bead–Spring Models to Atomistic Simulations

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (left) and atomistic (right) models of the shape memory polymer ESTANE ETE 75DT3 are shown schematically. The two representations bridge molecular detail and mesoscopic description. Both models capture shape memory behavior, linking segmental mobility and conformational relaxation of anisotropic chains to macroscopic recovery, and ...

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Development and Validation of the COM-B Physical Activity Questionnaire (COM-B PAQ)

open access: yes
Abstract Background To provide researchers and practitioners with evidence-based tools for identifying less active individuals and, in turn, help implement more effective physical activity interventions, a need exists to develop valid and reliable measurement tools.

Phase Boundary Engineering of Co2P‐CoP Branched Nanoparticles Enhances Cobalt Oxidation for Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase boundaries between Co2P and CoP are constructed through a controlled transformation of Co to Co2P‐CoP branched nanoparticles. The polycrystalline mixed‐phase Co2P‐CoP branches are enriched with phase boundaries that stabilize Co active sites for OER. This work highlights phase boundary engineering as a powerful approach to tailor active sites and

Behavioral innovations in the management of obesity and overweight using the COM-B model

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Public Health, 2022
Abstract Background Increasing overweight and obesity rates represent one of the global health challenges in the 21st century. Obesity is a gateway to many non-communicable diseases and shorter life expectancy. Understanding individual capability, opportunity, and motivation for health behavior change

Photo‐ and Thermally‐Induced Huge Layer Decoupling in Twisted Bilayer WSe2

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A newly developed automated dark‐field tomography visualizes twist‐angle‐dependent structural relaxation and quantifies 3D structures in twisted bilayer WSe2. This approach reveals the evolution of local stacking configurations, thermally induced sub‐ångström interlayer decoupling, and light‐driven interlayer expansion on picosecond timescales ...
