Research in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is effective in lowering blood pressure yet adherence to DASH remains low. Intuitive eating, a behavior that emphasizes responsiveness to hunger and satiety cues, may influence DASH adherence but has not been well studied among adults with hypertension.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize

Dynamic responses of concrete-faced rockfill dam due to different seismic motion input methods
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2018 The concrete-faced rockfill dam valley foundation was considered as an open energy system and a reasonable non-uniform seismic motion input method was applied to the dynamic analysis of a concrete-faced rockfill dam based on the generalized plastic model.
