Assessing stakeholder structure in water governance in the Murray-Darling Basin, a public submission perspective
Transformation from top-down government to collaborative governance for natural resources requires broadening the scope of stakeholders involved. However, the systemic identification and assessment of stakeholder engagement remains a challenge. This paper develops a network-based framework for assessing stakeholder engagement in natural resources governance. The framework proposed five system-level metrics: inclusivity, cohesion, centralization, …
Does emotion regulation mediate the relationship between self-compassion and subjective well-being? A cross-sectional study of adults living in the United States
Subjective well-being influences mental and physical health. Fortunately, interventions exist to improve people's subjective well-being. Emotion regulation and self-compassion are two transdiagnostic factors that impact mental health and have been separately shown to be associated with subjective well-being. However, their combined relationship with subjective well-being has not yet been examined. To address this gap, the current novel study aime…
Resolving the Crisis of Urban Spaces in Northern Cyprus
In Northern Cyprus, there are several pressing challenges. These include inadequate amenities, poor maintenance, limited green spaces, and insufficient community engagement, all of which contribute to a crisis situation in urban space
Pronunciation and Linguistic Bias in Interviewing Arabic Instructors
The present qualitative study reports on a sample of six Arabic instructors (out of 30) who were asked to modify/correct their pronunciation of Arabic as it was considered "unsuitable" by members of the recruitment committee. Almost half the instructors believed that the corrections involved linguistic bias. The others did not take issue and welcomed such direction since they believed that modification may improve the learning-teaching process by…
Ego-Centred and Partner/Activity-Focused Sexual Satisfaction
Development of the Pet Owner Connectedness Scale (Pocs)
Studies that have reported on the loneliness protective effect of pet ownership have recently been called into question owing to methodological drawbacks, including the use of inappropriate scales of measurement for loneliness in pet owner samples. It has also been recently demonstrated that pet interactions may only influence positive, not negative, human affect. In light of these recent advances, the current study aimed to create a new scale fo…
Puppy love in the time of Corona
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many countries enforcing a 'lockdown', whereby people are instructed to stay at home. AIM: The aim of this study was to capture the experience of such a lockdown in Australians living alone, with and without a dog or a cat. METHOD: Three hundred and eighty-four participants completed an online survey evaluating their levels of loneliness, mindfulness and mood. For participants who owned a dog or a…
Moliere, Descartes, and the Practice of Comedy in the Intermezzo
The comic intermezzo currently holds a prominent place in the historiography of eighteenth-century music. The comic music contained in these short entertainments provides evidence of a burgeoning musical style that came to dominate the opera house and the chamber in the Age of Enlightenment. But by examining these works retrospectively, musicologists have produced a distorted portrait of the genre itself, downplaying the artistic merit of the wor…
The cost-effectiveness of technology transfer using telemedicine
The high burden of disease in developing countries often makes it difficult for health systems in these countries to attain the same level of specialist skills as industrialized countries. Technology transfer is one way to improve specialist skills whilst at the same time reducing the burden of disease. This paper describes the use of teleophthalmology, a form of telemedicine, as a mode of technology transfer between the United Kingdom and South …
Binge-Drinking
A study was undertaken to assess the utility of the theory of planned behaviour in the prediction of students' binge-drinking. Additionally, a perspective was utilised to address the usually weak contribution of subjective norms in predicting behavioural intentions. Respondents were 289 undergraduate students. The study employed a longitudinal design, with the predictors of performing the behaviour under consideration assessed prior to the measur…
