Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Agritourism: A Multilevel Causal Mechanism Analysis and the Facilitating Roles of Social Capital

ABSTRACT This study investigates the causal mechanisms by which responsible leadership (RL) promotes sustainable agritourism development in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Using focus groups and multiple case studies across five exemplary agritourism operations, we examine how RL oper...

ACPSEM guideline regarding the adoption of the IAEA TRS-398 Code of Practice Revision 1

Abstract The IAEA Technical Report Series 398 Code of Practice for the determination of absorbed dose in external beam radiotherapy was endorsed at the Engineers and Physical Scientists in Medicine (EPSM) conference in 2001 and has been widely adopted in Australia and New Zealand...

Grey is the new black: entrepreneurial agency and transparency of artificial intelligence

Purpose This paper develops the MIRACLE framework, a stage-based conceptual model that examines how human and artificial cognitive agents interact across the entrepreneurial process, how artificial intelligence (AI) transparency affects entrepreneurial agency and how heterogeneou...

Windmill‐Type π ‐Extension Within Donor Moiety of Covalent Organic Framework Boosts Overall Photocatalytic Hydrogen Peroxide Production

ABSTRACT Covalent organic framework (COF)‐based catalysts are promising for overall photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) production, yet the sluggish kinetics of water oxidation reaction (WOR) and inefficient charge carrier processes limit the catalytic performance. Herein...

Effect of Piperacillin/Tazobactam Solution Concentration on the Infusion Rate of Portable Elastomeric Pumps (‘EMPs’) in (HITH): A Retrospective Review of Administered and Residual Volumes

Importance Piperacillin/tazobactam solutions are frequently administered as 24-hour continuous intravenous infusions to patients in Hospital in the Home (HITH) programs and the accuracy of administration from elastomeric pumps (‘EMPs’) is important. Objective This study aimed to...

Capability-driven international scale-up: the moderating role of co-creation and technology

Purpose This paper investigates how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in resource-constrained regions build international scale-up intentions and convert them into internationalization performance. Drawing on a dynamic capabilities perspective, the study examines how capa...

Don’t judge a sperm by its cover

Male fertility is primarily assessed using descriptive semen parameters, such as sperm concentration, motility and morphology. These conventional parameters provide an initial assessment of male reproductive health and may explain why a couple is struggling to conceive; however,...

Prediction of Joint Roughness Coefficient Using Metaheuristic-Optimized Random Forest Model

Reliable estimation of the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) is important for quantitative characterization of joint roughness and provides an important geometric parameter for subsequent joint shear strength assessment. However, single-parameter empirical models cannot fully cap...

Oxygen vs Air at Birth for Moderate- to Late-Preterm Infants

Importance The optimal initial fraction of inspired oxygen (F io 2 ) for delivery room resuscitation of neonates born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation is unknown. Objective To compare outcomes for neonates born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation when initiating resuscitation with F io 2 0....

Assessing organisational commitment and readiness through the DANMM project: a mixed-methods study

Background Low representation and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives remain a persistent challenge for Australian health systems, constraining delivery of culturally safe, person-centred care. Building and sustaining this workforce is essential...

Quality standards for preclinical research in cardio-oncology

Preclinical research in cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) is a major domain of cardio-oncology and has provided biological explanation for the cardiovascular adverse effects of many cancer therapies. However, the choice of the experimental models to investi...

Exploring Transitions to Adulthood for Young Disabled People: Personalisation and the Quiet Dismantling of Social Care

ABSTRACT Across OECD countries, policy frameworks to support disabled young people in their transition to adulthood remain fragmented, under‐resourced and poorly aligned. This article examines how these longstanding weaknesses have been exacerbated by the shift towards personalis...

Mechanism of pressurised pyrolysis of Australian brown coal for hydrogen-rich syngas formation

Conversion of fossil fuels to hydrogen-rich syngas is a promising approach for efficient utilisation of these fuels. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of pyrolysis of Australian brown coal into high-value-added products, such as hydrogen-rich syngas. A custom-designed...

Implementing univerSal TeleprehabiliTation into cAnceR caRe pathwayS (STTARRS Trial): protocol for a hybrid type 1 multi-centre randomised controlled trial and nested sub study

Abstract Background Postoperative complications are common after major cancer surgeries, occurring in 25–50% of patients. They delay recovery and adversely affect both cancer-free and overall survival. Intervention to optimise patients’ physical and psychological wellbeing before...

Enhancing the Australian coastal wave buoy network: development, implementation, national coordination and future directions

Context Although long-running, regional wave buoy networks exist within Australia, there remain critical spatial gaps in observations and limited coordination of data standards. These limitations result in challenges for using existing observations for national-scale applications...

Assessing Land Cover Change and Forest Sustainability in a World Heritage Context: Evidence from the Okapi Wildlife Reserve

Long-term monitoring of land cover dynamics is essential for evaluating conservation outcomes in World Heritage sites, yet remains challenging in conflict-affected regions with limited field observations. This study aims to reconstruct annual land cover dynamics and assess forest...

Uncommon benign tumour of the scalp

A 37-year-old male (Fitzpatrick skin type III) presented with a 10-month history of an enlarging nodule on the right parietal scalp. There was a paternal history of melanoma, but no family history of similar skin lesions. Physical examination revealed an ill-defined, pink, round,...

3D digital core reconstruction and phase-field-based fracture modeling at the representative microstructural domain scale

Abstract Natural rocks often contain geometrically irregular, multiscale discontinuous pores, which significantly influence their mechanical behavior. Quantitatively assessing the relationship between pore structures and mechanical properties remains challenging for analytical an...

Dual-modality modeling for depression detection using speech signals

Abstract Depression is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease and a significant barrier to both personal well-being and societal development. Yet, it remains underdiagnosed, primarily due to social stigma and limited access to clinical resources. This study propose...

Membrane affinity difference between MinD monomer and dimer is not crucial for MinD gradient formation in Bacillus subtilis

Proteins can diffuse micrometers in seconds, yet bacterial cells are able to maintain stable protein gradients. The best studied bacterial protein gradient is the Min system of Escherichia coli. In rod-shaped bacteria the MinCD proteins prevent formation of minicells by inhibitin...
