Background: Management of challenging behaviour causes victimization and violates the human rights of service users in psychiatric and long-term settings for people having mental health issues and learning disabilities. The purpose of the research wa...
South Africa is a leader in the scholarship on green urbanism in the Global South, but academic progress has not translated to broad implementation. Notably, government-subsidized housing projects have produced peripheral developments featuring low b...
The Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) scale has been widely used to assess the tendency to engage in technology. To enhance the scale’s applicability and facilitate cross-cultural research, it is essential to provide translations of the...
Understanding pet relinquishment is essential to inform interventions and assess their impact. In a cross-sectional study, we explored how attitudes of lack of obligation and pragmatism toward pet relinquishment correlated with, and differed accordin...
During the process of digital-system development from prototype to live implementation, differences in user interactions, perceived usability, and overall satisfaction can emerge. These differences often arise due to various factors, which may includ...
Background/Objectives: Preterm infants are at substantial risk of neurodevelopmental impairment. Current guidelines recommend gradual advancement of enteral feeds during the first postnatal weeks, but the rate that is optimal for the individual infan...
As generative AI increasingly mediates everyday information, users must judge not only whether a claim is true but whether the system conveying it is a legitimate source of belief. This article develops and validates the Trust in AI-Epistemic Scale (...
Bipedal robots have gained increasing attention for their human-like mobility which allows them to work in various human-scale environments. However, their inherent instability makes it difficult to control their balance while they are physically int...
