Securing water supplies in urban areas is a major challenge for policy makers, both now and into the future. This study aimed to identify key determinants of household use, with view identifying those factors that could be targeted demand management campaigns. Objective use data surveys were collected from 1008 households four local government southeast Queensland, Australia. Results showed demographic, psychosocial, behavioral, infrastructure variables all have role play determining use....
Two studies compared leader-member exchange (LMX) theory and the social identity of leadership. Study 1 surveyed 439 employees organizations in Wales, measuring work group salience, relations, perceived leadership effectiveness. 2 128 members India, identification not salience also individualism/collectivism. Both provided good support for predictions. Depersonalized relations were associated with greater effectiveness among high-than low-salient groups (Study 1) high than low identifiers...
The year 2015 was a significant anniversary for global health: 15 years since the adoption of Millennium Development Goals and creation Global Alliance Vaccines Immunization, followed two later by Fund to Fight AIDS, TB Malaria. also 10-year International Health Regulations (May 2005) formal entering into force Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (February 2005). these frameworks institutions illustrates growth contribution 'global' health diplomacy. Each initiative has revealed on-going...
Advances in genetic technology hold promise managing the increasing problem of invasive pests. The current study sought to improve our understanding public perceptions, and potential engagement pathways information needs as is researched potentially developed for deployment. A survey 1,149 Australians was conducted, sample segmented into 4 groups based on their attitudes: Certain Objectors, Fence Sitters, Cautious Supporters, Supporters. ‘Light touch’ activities appeared satisfy most people;...
The present study adopted a qualitative, exploratory approach to describe the underlying emotional climate among injured athletes within team sport environments. Nine elite undergoing long-term injury rehabilitation (LTIR) participated in semi-structured interviews their LTIR experience. A general inductive analysis extracted three higher-order themes: (a) trauma, (b) climate, and (c) acting. Athletes reported experiencing trauma throughout LTIR. To maintain in-group norms, they described...
Building on an exercise that identified potential harms from simulated investigational releases of a population suppression gene drive for malaria vector control, series online workshops nine recommendations to advance future environmental risk assessment applications.
At its core, One Health promotes multidisciplinary cooperation amongst researchers and practitioners to improve the effectiveness management of complex problems raised by interplay human, animal environment interactions. Contemporary literature has identified reducing disciplinary barriers as key progress in field, along with addressing notable absence social sciences from frameworks, among other priorities. Efforts position scientists experts on behaviour change health decision-making...
Grief can be a common psychological characteristic of long-term injury, but few athletes are taught how to effectively deal with these intense emotions.To examine the effectiveness Pennebaker's standard writing paradigm in improving athletes' response injury after engaging written disclosure.Repeated-measures design 6 data-collection time points.Sport-injury clinics.9 elite long-term-injured athletes.

At a time when ambitious environmental management initiatives are required to protect and restore aquatic ecosystems, public trust in the science that underpins policy decision-making is waning. This decline coincides with rise misinformation, threatens undermine support for, participation in, protection. Our study investigates prevalence predictors of mistrust associated protection Great Barrier Reef (GBR) its catchments. Using survey data from 1,877 residents GBR region, we identify...
In Australia, water scarcity has resulted in the need for re-evaluating demand management policies, as well identification of alternative supplies. Specifically, utilities have been focusing on increasing adoption household level decentralised systems (DWS). While such engineering solutions may be effective, understanding factors which influence is crucial widespread uptake. Protection Motivation (PM) theory was used to assess DWS a sample 295 homeowners across South East Queensland,...
Engaging diverse publics on the acceptability of large-scale biology applications such as gene drives is held in high regard by international research community.
