A Scenario Tool for Sustainability Transformation in Fisheries and Beyond

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urgency to find sustainable management solutions intensifies with increasing natural resource scarcity. Resource sectors are usually characterized by diverse resource users. We developed a structured scenario tool designed to quantitatively assess policy options for achieving sustainability, accounting for ecological, economic and ...

Fitts’ Law in Tongue Movements of Repetitive Speech [PDF]

Phonetica, 2019
AbstractFitts’ law, perhaps the most celebrated law of human motor control, expresses a relation between the kinematic property of speed and the non-kinematic, task-specific property of accuracy. We aimed to assess whether speech movements obey this law using a metronome-driven speech elicitation paradigm with a systematic speech rate control ...

The efficacy and physiological bases of small muscle mass exercise in health and disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The conventional approach to aerobic exercise prescription involves large muscle mass exercise and the manipulation of variables such as training intensity, duration and frequency to promote desired adaptations. However, during whole‐body exercise, central limitations (i.e., neural, pulmonary and/or cardiac) constrain exercise tolerance and ...

Jumping in simulated lunar gravity with blood flow restriction as a potential exercise countermeasure: The acute physiological effects

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The present study examined the cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular and perceptual effects of low‐intensity jumping in simulated lunar gravity (∼20% bodyweight) with blood flow restriction (BFR). Fourteen healthy adults (24 ± 4 years; 1.81 ± 0.06 m; 75 ± 12 kg) completed an incremental jumping test in simulated lunar gravity (9.5° head‐up ...

A Qualitative Evaluation of Eat, Learn, Grow: A Digital Microlearning Programme to Promote Responsive Feeding Practices

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Responsive feeding supports nurturing caregiving and encourages healthy eating in early childhood. Food insecurity can hinder families' ability to adopt positive practices and access support. This qualitative study evaluated participants' experiences and behavioural impacts of Eat, Learn, Grow, a co‐designed digital microlearning programme ...

Implementing an Indigenous Research Methodology to Develop a Culturally Appropriate Survey and Yarning Protocol: Challenges With Retention of the Aboriginal Health, Ageing and Disability Workforce

Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 384-394, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aboriginal staff play a vital part in improving culturally safe and effective services and supports for Aboriginal people. Research on the Aboriginal workforce helps advance a culturally safe environment for workers and Aboriginal people accessing health and community services. This study aims to identify the barriers and enablers to workforce

Mid-Air Gestural Interaction with a Large Fogscreen

Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2023
Projected walk-through fogscreens have been created, but there is little research on the evaluation of the interaction performance with fogscreens. The present study investigated mid-air hand gestures for interaction with a large fogscreen. Participants (

Making Faces: Evaluating Facial Control Methods in VR for Live Conversations

Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
This paper investigates avatar facial expression control during live dyadic conversations in virtual reality. It compares face tracking with two controller‐based thumbstick methods designed for VR devices without facial tracking, focusing on how these approaches support co‐presence, usability, and expressive communication.
