The effect of service failure crisis in destinations on tourism boycotts: The moderating role of power distance beliefs

Few studies have assessed the impact of service failure crises on tourism boycotts from the perspective of social distance. Grounded in self-bias theory and construal level theory, this study examines how the service failure crisis in destinations across three distance levels (pe...

Lactoferrin and Healthy Aging: Gut, Immune, Iron, and Mitochondrial Mechanisms

Aging is characterized by progressive dysregulation of interconnected biological systems, including immune function, gut integrity, iron homeostasis, and mitochondrial metabolism, which collectively contribute to inflammaging, oxidative stress, frailty, and age-related disease. L...

Somatosensory processing is altered in people with hip osteoarthritis compared to controls: A cross-sectional study

Background With knee osteoarthritis (OA), measures of mechanical and thermal pain sensitivity relate to both pain severity and treatment outcomes, and lower limb left/right judgement is impaired. However, little is known about these somatosensory variables in people with hip OA....

USF-Net: a Unified Spatiotemporal Fusion Network for ground-based remote sensing cloud image sequence extrapolation

Ground-based remote sensing cloud image sequence extrapolation is a key research area in the development of photovoltaic power systems. However, existing approaches exhibit several limitations:(1)they primarily rely on static kernels to augment feature information, lacking adapti...

Ancient oceans: Lapetus Ocean and Mirovia Ocean

Mirovia is conjectured to be an ancient superocean that surrounded the supercontinent Rodinia in Neoproterozoic Era 1,000 million to 541 million years ago. Like Iapetus Ocean [2020] , the work is intended as a companion to my realtime generative "Tectonic" works Rodinia, Vaalbara...

Axiom [studio recording]

Axiom is the third Tom O’Halloran trio studio album. The work was premiered at the 2020 Perth International Jazz Festival, and documents newer compositions and arrangements.

Converging demands, diverging experiences: gendered leadership in the Australian mining, oil and gas sector during a prolonged crisis

Purpose Effective leadership during a prolonged crisis requires significant emotional and moral labour. Prior literature has examined gendered differences in leadership behaviour and performance during a crisis, yet less is known about how leaders experience gendered expectations...

Waveform-level agreement between global positioning system and sacral inertial measurement unit acceleration during overground running in male elite rugby athletes

Thoracic-mounted global positioning system (GPS) units embed accelerometers to characterise locomotor mechanics in applied sport. However, it’s unclear whether acceleration waveforms captured by these devices preserve the signal structure of sacral-mounted inertial measurement un...

Engineering antifouling UiO-66-NH₂ mixed matrix membranes for geothermal brine pretreatment: Fouling prediction, techno-economic analysis, and environmental assessment

This study develops polysulfone/UiO-66-NH₂ mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) for silica removal from geothermal brine and evaluates their antifouling behavior, fouling mechanisms, techno-economic feasibility, and environmental implications. Incorporation of UiO-66-NH₂ improved membra...

From Uncertainty to Risk: How Firms Respond in Circular Economy Transitions

ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy exposes firms to multiple sources of uncertainty, yet existing research largely treats these challenges as barriers rather than drivers of firm behavior. This paper develops a conceptual understanding of how uncertainty is translated...

Regional Hypertrophy of the Gluteal Muscles Is Task-Specific: Differential Responses to 10 Weeks of Hip Extension Versus Hip Abduction Training

Abstract Attarieh, P, Nunes, JP, Khani, S, Moniri, A, Goli, A, Negahdar, S, Mohammadinia, F, Fallah, MH, and Shahrbanian, S. Regional hypertrophy of the gluteal muscles is task-specific: Differential responses to 10 weeks of hip extension versus hip abduction training. J Strength...

Cost‐Consequence Analysis of a Dementia Specialist Training Program for Home Care Workers: Results From a Stepped‐Wedge Cluster‐Randomised Controlled Trial

OBJECTIVES: This paper reports the health economic component of the broader Promoting Independence Through Quality Dementia Care at Home (PITCH). The broader PITCH trial primarily evaluated the effect of dementia training on home care workers' competence in providing dementia car...

Comparison Between Eccentric-Concentric and Eccentric-Only Dumbbell Arm Curl Exercise Training for Their Effects on Neuromuscular Adaptations

Lived Experiences of Young Mothers Parenting in Urban Slums: Evidence from Ghana

Abstract Parenting in urban informal settlements is shaped by intersecting economic, environmental, and institutional constraints. However, less is known about how young mothers experience and make sense of everyday caregiving under these conditions. This study explored the lived...

Simulating Infrared Spectra of Matrix Isolation Experiments: What Works Best?

ABSTRACT Matrix isolation is an experimental technique which allows spectroscopists to observe highly reactive or weakly bound systems by trapping them in frozen noble gas matrices. In this work, we studied the viability of using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to simulate se...

Robust adaptive wideband beamforming for passive acoustic array under impulsive noise

Robust wideband beamforming is critical for passive acoustic sensing systems operating in challenging underwater environments characterized by impulsive noise, interference, and array uncertainties. Conventional robust wideband beamforming methods are generally developed under th...

Differential neuromuscular fatigue responses in multi- and single-joint force following a simulated soccer protocol in youth players: evidence for divergent assessment sensitivity

The purpose of the present study was to compare the time-dependent sensitivity of the countermovement jump (CMJ), isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), and isometric hamstring 90–90 (IH 90–90 ) tests in detecting neuromuscular fatigue following a standardized soccer simulation protoco...

Exploring factors that influence meal management and eating behaviours in people living with Huntington’s disease

Purpose People living with Huntington’s disease (pwHD) experience cognitive and motor changes that affect meal planning, preparation and food consumption. This study explored factors that influence meal management and eating behaviours of pwHD and their families.Methods This is a...

The Effectiveness of Cluster vs. Rest-Redistribution Set Configurations to Maintain Movement Velocity During Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Meta-analysis

Alternative set structures such as cluster sets (CS) and rest-redistribution (RR) are often used as a more effective method for preserving movement velocity during resistance training than traditional sets (TS). However, only a limited number of studies have directly compared CS...

The PASE Study: The Prevalence and Associations of Bendopnoea in Patients with Pneumothorax

Background: We recently established that bendopnoea (breathlessness upon bending forward) is common with pleural effusion; however, it has never been reported or investigated in patients with pneumothorax. This exploratory study investigated the prevalence and clinical relevance...
