Foodservice operator and implementation support practitioner needs for sustaining healthy food retail practices in Australian foodservice settings: findings from a national cross-sectional survey

Abstract Background Food outlet practices that support consumers in making healthier food and drink purchases (e.g. healthy product availability and promotion) are key strategies for improving population diets. To have lasting population health impacts, these practices must be su...

Factors Associated With Progression From Level 1 to Level 2 Sensor‐Detected Hypoglycaemia in People With Type 1 and Insulin‐Treated Type 2 Diabetes: A Post Hoc Analysis From the Hypo‐ METRICS Study

ABSTRACT Aims We investigated the proportion of sensor‐detected hypoglycaemic (SDH) events progressing to level 2, and associated variables. Materials and Methods We used data from Hypo‐METRICS, which recruited people with type 1 (pwT1D) and insulin‐treated type 2 diabetes (pwT2D...

Teachers’ reported experiences with the Food Education and Sustainability Training (FEAST) program: a process evaluation of FEAST

Healthy and sustainable food education initiatives in primary schools are gaining momentum in research and practice. OzHarvest’s Food Education and Sustainability Training (FEAST) is one such program which aims to increase children’s fruit and vegetable intake and reduce their fo...

A Caputo Fractional SLBS Computer Virus Model with Stage-Specific Holling Type-II Incidence

Computer virus propagation (CVP) models translate malware movement in a network into analyzable dynamical systems. Two features are especially important for modern networks: infected hosts may remain latent before a damaging burst, and infection efficiency is usually saturated by...

Health4Life: a digital intervention to promote healthy diet and movement behaviours from the start of life: protocol for a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study

Abstract Background Globally and in Sweden childhood overweight and obesity remain major public health issues. The first 1000 days (i.e., conception-24 months) has been identified as the period of greatest developmental plasticity, with the maximum capacity to influence health th...

Under Construction: Reproducing Colonial Landscape Perspectives in Natural Resource Management of Public Reserves

The values and land use preferences deemed legitimate in natural resource management are not neutral—they are circumscribed by inherited colonial structures that determine which landscape perspectives carry weight in public decision-making processes. This paper examines a land sw...

Cognitive Performance in Young Adults During Three Consecutive Days of Simulated Occupational Heat Stress: An Exploratory Study

INTRODUCTION: Global increases in occupational heat exposure are raising concerns about worker safety and cognitive performance during prolonged and repeated shifts. At present, the cumulative effects of repeated heat exposure on cognitive performance remain unclear. This explora...

A Busemann Hybrid Projection-Proximal Point Algorithm for Optimization Problems on Hadamard Manifolds

Abstract We study convex optimization problems on Hadamard manifolds and propose a projection based variant of the proximal point algorithm, called the Busemann hybrid projection-proximal point algorithm . The method replaces Euclidean hyperplanes by horospheres defined through B...

Resistant starch as a dietary strategy for metabolic and gut health: Implications for Asia-Pacific populations.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Metabolic diseases are rising rapidly across the Asia-Pacific region as traditional diets are displaced by refined, low-fibre foods. Resistant starch (RS) is a fermentable dietary component that modulates gut microbial activity and short-chain fatty aci...

Exploring consumer and carer experiences of a therapeutic group yoga program for eating disorder recovery: a qualitative pilot study

Eating disorders remain complex and costly conditions, and while evidence-based treatments address behavioural and weight-related symptoms, they often neglect embodied aspects of recovery. This study examined consumer and carer experiences of an 8-week Yoga for Eating Disorder Re...
