03 Jan Towards personalised digital health services for preventable health conditions – virtual reality and cue reactivity
| Hannah Walker Summary Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), were developed to provide an effective substitute for quitting smoking and as an alternative to conventional cigarettes. Nowadays, their use has rapidly grown and transformed into a popular and distinct form of nicotine consumption. The upsurge of ENDS,...03 Jan Health Location Index
| Hannah Walker Project summary Accounting for the co-occurrence of multiple environmental influences is a more accurate reflection of population exposure than considering isolated influences, aiding in understanding the complex interactions between environments, behaviour and health. Healthy Location Index describes how environmental ‘goods’ such as green spaces...06 Sep Investigating the rates and spatial distribution of childhood ambulatory sensitive hospitalisations in New Zealand
| admin@griNew Zealand has an excellent record of conserving its native flora and fauna through pest control measures, especially in large uninhabited areas. Meanwhile large tracts of land owned by private individuals remain relatively unprotected. When it comes to land management decisions such as pest control actions, careful negotiations are required with a wide range of stakeholders with differing views – from cat-loves to rabbit-haters – so that agreements can be reached. The aim of this research project led by Audrey Lustig, Mike Plank and Alex James is to develop a planning tool for predicting the abundance and the likely persistence of New Zealand top mammalian predators in the light of potential changes in management effort across human-dominated landscape. We use the Cape-to-City (C2C) footprint covering 26,000 ha of agricultural land in Hawke’s Ba as a case study.
