Journal Article

Introduction

Engaging communities in actions to reduce alcohol harms has been identified as an international priority. While there exist recommendations for community engagement within alcohol licensing legislation, there is limited understanding...

Evaluation of the effects of prescribing gait complexity using several fluctuating timing imperatives (2019)
Journal Article
fluctuating timing imperatives. Journal of Motor Behavior, 52(5), 570-577. https://doi.org/10.1080/00222895.2019.1654971

Variability in the timing of walking patterns has a complex mathematical structure (fractality). Fractality of gait can reflect health,so practicing walking with specific temporal coordination could be helpful for various group...

Person-centered dementia care in acute hospital wards — the influence of staff knowledge and attitudes (2019)
Journal Article

Person-centered dementia care practices in acute hospital wards are suboptimal and not commonly measured. Although previous research has indicated that the work environment of staff influences their perceptions of person-centeredness, few studies hav...

Erosion of phylogenetic diversity in Neotropical bat assemblages : findings from a whole-ecosystem fragmentation experiment (2019)
Journal Article

The traditional focus on taxonomic diversity metrics for investigating species responses to habitat loss and fragmentation has limited our understanding of how biodiversity is impacted by habitat modification. This is particularly true for taxonomic... Read More about Erosion of phylogenetic diversity in Neotropical bat assemblages : findings from a whole-ecosystem fragmentation experiment.

The violin has been played in jazz from the beginning of the music's history, and yet ithas, until relatively recently, been somewhat neglected as a significant jazz instrumentin terms of both performance and education. One style of jazz in which the... Read More about Grappling with Grappelli : contemporary jazz violin pedagogy and the legacy of gypsy jazz.

Group cognitive–behavioural programme to reduce the impact of rheumatoid arthritis fatigue: the RAFT RCT with economic and qualitative evaluations (2019)
Journal Article

Background
Fatigue is a major problem in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is evidence for the clinical effectiveness of cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) delivered by clinical psychologists, but few rheumatology units have psychologists.
