Abstract In this study, we investigate the mechanical behavior of single-crystal vanadium and introduce an enhanced dislocation-based crystal plasticity framework to model its response under various loading conditions. Our experiments, conducted over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates on single-crystal vanadium samples, reveal progressive thermal hardening at low strain rates and elevated temperatures. This behavior is indicative of dynamic strain aging (DSA), a phenomenon previously observed in polycrys …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are a large class of proteins that form biological condensates to facilitate their functions. Chronic stress, such as occurs in neurodegenerative diseases, stimulates persistent accumulation of particular RBP condensates as part of the translational stress response, termed stress granules (SGs). These persistent SGs serve as a nidus for aggregation of RBPs to form pathologies that appear in neurodegenerative diseases, such as the occurrence of Tar DNA Binding Protein (TDP-43) in Amyotrop …

Fines for fare evasion are the most commonly issued penalties to young people in New South Wales (NSW). Public transport is fundamental to a young person’s growing independence as well as to access education, employment and maintain social ties. This article reports on high volumes of fines issued to young people up to the age of 25 for fare evasion in NSW and patterns of fine issuance by police and transit officers. Too many young people are still punished for their inability to pay for fares. We advocate for refo …

Abstract Global life expectancy has risen since 1973 from 58 to over 73 years, while the share of people aged 65 years and older has doubled to 10% and is projected to reach 21% by 2073. This shift is linked to an epidemiological transition from infectious to chronic disease. Here, using Global Burden of Disease data, we reframe this transition by statistically grouping diseases on the basis of their impact over the life cycle, yielding four clusters: infant, early-adult, later-adult and aging-related. We show agin …

ABSTRACT Changes in chemical bonds driven by combined thermo‐oxidative aging and mechanical loading directly influence the structural integrity of hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants. Due to uncertainties surrounding the chain scission mechanism of HTPB subjected to thermo‐oxidative aging, and the confounding effects of concomitant cross‐linking and chain scission on experimental measurements and data interpretation, the present work identifies urethane cross‐links as characteristic recognition sit …

Abstract In Australia, progress towards the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets is lower among people living with HIV born overseas compared to those born in Australia. Stigma is a major barrier to achieving these targets. This project aimed to identify differences in experiences of HIV-related stigma and healthcare outcomes between people born in Asia, Latin America, and Australia. Between April-August 2023, 153 Sydney Sexual Health Centre clients who were living with HIV completed an anonymous online survey. 71 participants …

ABSTRACT The main labour market survey in South Africa is the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) but the General Household Survey (GHS) also measures employment. We show that despite often identical sample designs and questions about employment, the GHS produces higher estimates of total employment from around 2012 than the QLFS, which finds more economic inactivity. The discrepancy in employment totals worsens substantially after Covid and the GHS also starts to report many more unemployed while the QLFS reports …

ABSTRACT Background People living with dementia (PLWD) are more likely to be hospitalized and have longer hospital stays compared with the general population. Prolonged hospitalizations are associated with inpatient complications, functional decline, and mortality. This study aimed to identify patient‐level factors associated with prolonged hospitalizations for PLWD. Methods Secondary analysis of a stepped‐wedge, cluster randomized trial that enrolled community‐dwelling older adults hospitalized for at least 2 days …

Introduction: The development of technology to support medication management and adherence among older adults is rising. Many of these technologies offer diverse features, which add complexity when making a choice. Evidence-based decision aids can inform decision-making in such situations. To inform the development of such a decision aid, it is necessary to review the literature on the development and validation of decision aids that impact medication adherence. Therefore, this study aims to review the available li …

Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom? We first conducted a literature review to identify building features used by wildlife and to develop a classification of architectural elements relevant to habitat use. We then analysed over a decade of wildlife rescue records from …

Societal Impact Statement Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science. This paper formalizes “niche‐tracking,” a well‐known practical approach in which botanists combine scientific knowledge with traditional and local ecological knowledge to track the conditions where target …

Abstract For decades, gerontologists have competed to objectively define the ideal later life, often eliding the subjective perspectives of older adults. Yet, definitions of successful aging are only meaningful intersubjectively, making lay evaluations crucial to ground theoretical models in the realities they are meant to serve. Such gaps are consequential to the alignment of retirement policies and workplace arrangements with the experiences of older adults. This study explores Singaporean older adults’ lay evalu …
