Sedentary behaviour change: barriers and strategies reported by individuals with type 2 diabetes during a multi-component intervention

Abstract Introduction Engaging in high volumes of sedentary behaviour increases the risk of adverse health outcomes, especially for individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding likely influences on behaviour and effective strategies for reducing sedentary time,...

The Transition to Mental Health Services From the Perspectives of Neurodivergent Young People, Caregivers and Mental Health Professionals: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Approach

Abstract Purpose The prevalence of mental health conditions is increasing globally, with mental health difficulties the leading cause of disability for young people aged 12 to 25 years. Neurodivergent young people are up to three times more likely to develop a co-occurring mental...

Stock Assessment and Management Recommendations for the Sustainable Fishery of Tropical Shad (Terubok), Tenualosa toli, in Sarawak Waters, Malaysia

The population of Tenualosa toli is primarily distributed in the coastal and estuarine waters of Sarawak, Malaysia, where landings have declined steadily from 1031 tons in 2003 to 586 tons in 2013. To assess stock status and support sustainable management, samples were collected...

Psychosocial interventions in childhood dementia: a call for action

Abstract Childhood dementia (CD) is a complex, rare, often under-recognised, and incurable neurogenetic group of disorders with neuromotor-behavioural symptoms and poor survival outcomes. Despite profound impacts, CD remains neglected and underfunded compared to other paediatric...

Near-threshold fatigue crack growth and fatigue strength of ER70S-6 steel processed by wire arc additive manufacturing

Abstract In this work, fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted to determine the threshold stress intensity factor ( ΔK th ) of ER70S-6 steel processed by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Samples were orientated with the crack direction (CD) both parallel (//) and n...

Board Tenure, Sustainability Committees and CEO Duality: Evidence on ESG Performance

ABSTRACT This study examines the association between board tenure, sustainability committees, CEO duality and environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance among Hong Kong‐listed firms from 2007 to 2024. Drawing on stakeholder–agency and resource dependence theories, we...

Classification of distraction descriptor in EEG signal using topological data analysis

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are widely used for monitoring brain activity; however their high-dimensionality, sparsity, and non-stationary pose significant challenges for reliable feature extraction and classification. Topological data analysis, particularly persistent hom...

When Visuals Meet People with Disabilities: How Destination Image Featuring Disability Drives Travel Intention?

This research investigates how featuring people with disabilities in tourism destination images on social media shapes viewers’ travel intention. Guided by warm glow theory, a mixed-methods approach was employed, comprising a field study, semi-structured interviews, and five onli...

A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...

Aorto‐Ostial Lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Clinical Characteristics, Predictors and Clinical Outcomes

ABSTRACT Background Aorto‐ostial coronary lesions represent a high‐risk subset of coronary disease because of fibrocalcific disease, elastic recoil, and difficulty achieving precise stent positioning. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of these lesions may therefore be asso...

Rb-Sr and U-Pb geochronology of neoblasts and porphyroclasts constrain movements along reactivated segments of the Outer Hebrides Fault Zone, NW Scotland

The crustal-scale Outer Hebrides Fault Zone (OHFZ) (NW Scotland) was initiated as a Stenian-Tonian (1040-950 Ma) ductile thrust, as determined by published U-Pb dating of syn-kinematic apatite. Thrust-related mylonites were then reactivated to form phyllonite belts during success...

Rethinking Emissions Trading: State Rescaling and the Administrative Foundations of Tokyo’s Cap-and-Trade System

As cities assume growing responsibility for climate mitigation, an important question is whether urban carbon markets can serve as effective instruments of decarbonisation. While emissions trading research has focused primarily on emissions outcomes, less attention has been paid...

Association of Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha with Periodontitis Patients in North Indian Population

Abstract Background: Periodontitis is a chronic multifactorial disease influenced by genetic susceptibility. Identifying genetic markers may facilitate early detection and improved risk assessment. Aim: To evaluate the association between tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene...

A systematic review of school-based mental health and wellbeing interventions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Australia (2015–2024)

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people’s wellbeing is grounded in culture, identity, and connection to community and Country. Schools offer unique opportunities to support wellbeing through culturally safe environments, trusted relationships, and community partnership...

Ferroresonance in power systems: A structured technical review and mitigation strategies

Ferroresonance is a complex and potentially destructive phenomenon that poses significant risks to the reliability and stability of power distribution systems. Although incidents have been documented for more than a century, the underlying mechanisms and effective countermeasures...

Building a Physics-Aware AI Ecosystem for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials

Abstract Hydrogen storage remains a central bottleneck for scalable hydrogen energy systems due to the multiscale and coupled nature of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructural evolution of hydrogen storage materials (HSMs). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has acce...

Co-designing the ConnectUp online platform to facilitate social connection, physical health and mental wellbeing in people with disabilities and carers

Introduction A mobile application and online platform ConnectUp supports people with disabilities (PwD) and carers to socially connect for physical activity. The platform will be optimised, implemented and evaluated between 2025 and 2027 aiming to integrate social connection, phy...

A Survey of Causal Learning in Graph-Based Recommender Systems

Graph-based recommender systems (GBRs) have achieved remarkable success by leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to model complex user-item interactions and structural relationships. However, they still face major challenges in real-world environments, including out-of-distribu...

Argus: A Sparse-Label Machine-Learning Workflow for Passive DAS Seismic Catalogue Expansion in CO2 Storage Monitoring—Application to the CO2CRC Otway Stage 4 Dataset

Passive distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is an attractive tool for monitoring geological CO2 storage, but its dense, continuous recordings create a data-volume problem: a multi-month, multi-well archive yields enormous numbers of detector triggers, of which confirmed seismic ev...
