The health and economic impacts of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 affect all levels a community from the individual to governing bodies. However, spread an disease is intricately linked behaviour people within since crowd affects human behaviour, while infection spread, behaviour. Capturing these feedback loops well-known challenge in modelling. Here, we investigate interface behavioural science theory modelling explore (BaD) transmission models. Specifically, incorporate visible...
In Australia, 'improving access to and the consumption of a healthy diet' is focus in National Preventive Health Strategy. The objective this paper describe past trends future projections population intakes against Strategy's targets increasing fruit 2 servings per day; vegetables 5 servings; reducing discretionary foods <20% total energy by 2030. Self-reported intake data were available from an online survey 275,170 Australian adults collected between 2015 2023. Dietary was modelled for sex...
\textit{Aedes albopictus} mosquitoes are competent vectors for the spread of at least 24 different arboviruses, including dengue, Ross River, and Japanese encephalitis viruses. However, they remain less studied than their more urban cousins, aegypti}. We model an Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) strategy mosquito control, with bi-directional incompatibility between two strains \textit{Wolbachia} (\walba/\walbb\, $\times$ \arwp) age-based cytoplasmic decay in a well-mixed population. An...
Face mask wearing is a protective health behaviour that helps mitigate the spread of infectious diseases such as influenza and COVID-19. Understanding predictors face can help refine public messaging policy in future pandemics. Government mandates influence wearing, but how change has not been explored. We investigate changed general behaviours within Australia during COVID-19 pandemic using cross-sectional survey data. compared four machine learning models to predict before after started...
The SARS-CoV2 pandemic led to drastic social restrictions globally. Early data suggest that women in science have been more adversely affected by these lockdowns than men, with relatively fewer scientific articles authored women. However, observations test broad populations many potential causes of disparity. Australia presents a natural experimental condition where several states similar demographics and disease impact had differing approaches their isolation strategies. state Victoria...
The altered expression of known brain Aquaporin (AQP) channels 1, 4 and 9 has been correlated with neuropathological AD progression, but possible roles other AQP classes in neurological disease remain understudied. levels transcripts all thirteen human subtypes were compared healthy Alzheimer's (AD) brains by statistical analyses microarray RNAseq data from the Allen Brain Atlas database. Previously unreported, AQPs 0, 6 10, are present at transcript level. Three AD-affected regions,...
One of the chief advantages using highly standardised biological models including model organisms is that multiple variables can be precisely controlled so variable interest more easily studied. However, such an approach often obscures effects in sub-populations resulting from natural population heterogeneity. Efforts to expand our fundamental understanding are progress. stratified or personalised approaches require modifications usual study designs should implemented Brain, Behavior and...

Abstract For neurological disorders and diseases, functional anatomical connectomes of the human brain can be used to better inform targeted interventions treatment strategies. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that captures spatio-temporal function through change in blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals over time. FMRI study connectome connectivity matrix; is, Pearson’s correlation matrix between time series from regions interest an...
