Curating 1000 flowers as they bloom: Leveraging pluralistic initiatives to diffuse social innovations
Authors: Leibel Esther 
Published: August 2024

AbstractResearch SummarySocial and environmental challenges in our society offer opportunities for innovation. Having a strong mission can enhance both opportunity recognition and strategic alignment; however, aligning strategy and mission can be challenging when an organization pursues its social mission in pluralistic ways. How can mission‐driven organizations manage pluralistic local initiatives while cohering to their missions? Using an inductive field study, I trace how Slow Money, an organization fostering sustainable local food systems by connecting food entrepreneurs with local investors, translated its core mission into different mission‐oriented local initiatives. I find that mission‐oriented local initiatives were recombined to create novel strategies curated and diffused by the central leadership, and I show how, rather than derail an organization's mission, pluralistic local initiatives can foster strategies for social innovation.Managerial SummaryOrganizations addressing social and environmental challenges often are mission driven. Though a mission can help guide strategy decisions, it also can lead to strategy confusion, especially when an organization consists of many local groups with different interpretations of the mission. I use the case of Slow Money, a nonprofit supporting sustainable local food systems, to understand how an organization can transform an assortment of mission‐based strategies into an asset rather than a liability. I find that by promoting an open exchange of local initiatives and strategies, Slow Money's central leadership validated strategy diversity. It also provided its local groups with the opportunity to borrow and repurpose other groups' initiatives. In this way, diverse local strategies created mission unity while also increasing organizational social innovation.

AbstractLithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) are paramount in energy storage in consumer electronics and electric vehicles. However, a narrow operating temperature range severely constrains their evolution. In this study, a wide‐temperature operating LIB system is constructed utilizing carbon nanotube (CNT)‐based electrodes and a “constructive alliance” electrolyte. The unique microstructure of the CNT current collector, with high electrical and thermal conductivity, accelerates the reaction kinetics of active materials at subzero temperatures and optimizes the thermal management of the entire electrode at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, a strategy employing the “constructive alliance” electrolyte is proposed, demonstrating that a simple combination of commercially available electrolytes can enhance resilience to harsh thermal conditions. Molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations reveal that the hybrid electrolyte predominantly adopts aggregate solvation structures and possesses low Li+ desolvation barriers regardless of thermal variations. Consequently, the assembled Li4Ti5O12//LiCoO2 full cell, with a negative/positive electrode material ratio of 1.2, exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance in the wide temperature range of −40 and 60 °C. This innovative strategy overcomes challenges in wide‐temperature electrolyte research and offers promise for next‐generation wide‐temperature LIBs.

Published: August 2024

Electroplating sludge (ES), the inevitable by‐product of electroplating wastewater treatment processes, has been conventionally managed via solidification landfilling or thermal processing; these methods may engender secondary environmental pollutants. This study proposes an innovative approach using iron ore sintering for effective ES treatment. The study reveals that incorporating 1.0% ES reduces the yield quality of the sintered ore, yet it remains within acceptable thresholds. It is noteworthy that when the addition of ES is 0.5%, it not only increases the sinter yield from 68.57% to 69.23% but also enhances the productivity from 1.19 to 1.32 t (m2 h)−1. Furthermore, the consumption of solid fuel decreases to 48.01 kg t−1. Additionally, the treatment method significantly reduced the emissions of CO and NOx in the sintering flue gas, with the average concentrations decreasing from 12681.32 to 9744.51 ppm for CO and from 244.81 to 161.11 ppm for NOx. This study investigates the migration and transformation mechanisms of nickel and chlorine elements in ES by conducting inductively coupled plasma analysis on the sintered raw materials and their products, as well as scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy analysis on the sinter ash.
Co-creating Virtual Care for Chronic Disease

Published: August 2024

AbstractFor those living with chronic disease and multiple complex health conditions, regular appointments with multiple practitioners can become an incredible burden on their quality of life. The VOICeD telehealth service, or Virtual Outpatient Integration for Chronic Disease, was designed to meet the complex needs of people with diabetes by allowing them to see multiple healthcare practitioners in one virtual appointment. The service was designed alongside consumers and clinicians, exploring their needs through a series of experience design sessions, a participatory design workshop, and user testing. Following the success of the VOICeD model for Diabetes-Renal-Cardiac, the service has since expanded to meet the needs of additional multi-disciplinary contexts, including Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Child Development.
Co-designing the Palliative Care Hospital Experience with Clinicians, Patients, and Families: Reflections from a Co-design Workshop with Clinicians
Authors: Miller Evonne , Yates Patsy , Johnstone Sarah , Hargraves Maryanne 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis chapter describes a design thinking workshop in a different context to most HEAL projects—that of a Palliative Care ward in a private hospital. The design team used various arts-based approaches, including empathy mapping, idea storming, and persona development to help staff take a positive approach to re-imagining how they could provide exceptional service to their consumers throughout their palliative care and end-of-life experience. The results showed that even small changes can make a big difference at the end of someone’s life.
Co-designing Design Thinking Workshops: From Observations to Quality Improvement Insights for Healthcare Innovation

Published: August 2024

AbstractHealthcare innovation is the development of new or improved healthcare policies, systems, products, technologies, services or methods of delivery, which aim to improve outcomes for people within healthcare. The Clinical Skills Development Service (CSDS) is one of the world’s largest healthcare simulation and training providers, which works towards healthcare improvement through training, collaboration, and innovation. This project provided the opportunity for academics to contribute new knowledge in Design Thinking strategies for healthcare innovation to the CSDS team. This was achieved through: (i) delivering a new-to-the world Design Thinking approach with an Observation Strategy suitable for use in the context of healthcare practices and (ii) a workshop protocol that was tested through first-hand experience with the CSDS team. Through this project we learned that the healthcare context is highly regulated, and therefore constrained in the technologies they are approved to employ. From the design team perspective, the inability of the healthcare sector to use creative online tools such as Padlet or Miro highly constrains the opportunity to explore different creative interactions across team members. From a healthcare professionals’ perspective, it was evident that some Design Thinking workshops require a longer iterative process to effectively identify opportunities for innovation, which is an area of emphasis in the healthcare sector. Two key aspects of this collaboration were the opportunity to expand our understanding of how quality improvement in healthcare can be achieved through design, and how a team combining two different worlds of knowledge and processes can meet in the middle to develop and deploy improved experiences through a co-design approach.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis chapter describes a collaborative project to improve the way that sick children and their families could find the various entertainment facilities located on Level 6 of the Queensland Children’s Hospital—Starlight Express Room, Kidzone, and Radio Lollipop studio. Wayfinding is an important part of the interior design considerations for hospitals, and this project paired designers and artists with hospital administrators and facilities management team members to create a playful way for each of the entertainment facilities to be easily found, while also making navigating the entire floor stress-free, including identifying the lifts, which are the main access point for the floor.
NICU Mum to PICU Researcher: A Reflection on Place, People, and the Power of Shared Experience
Authors: Ness Wilson Leighann 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn this chapter, I reflect on my experience as a research student intern in the HEAL PICU Partnership Project. I explore the challenges and opportunities I found in working in a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) alongside the importance of connection with staff and families and share what this project meant to me personally, as a designer, researcher and parent. Throughout the PICU Partnership Project I was able to draw not just on empathy in a general sense, but on the firsthand experience of having my own daughter born prematurely and being a parent at an intensive care bedside. This chapter will outline my involvement in the project; from the initial meeting where parents and families became our focus in line with the ideals of PICU Liberation, through the time spent observing the use of the physical spaces, establishing relationships, and gaining the trust and voice of PICU staff and families, to the formulation and recommendation of design concepts aimed at summarising key themes and providing a clear and informed way forward. I provide insight into my design process informed by theory, care, and intuition, and summarise the research outcomes and design concepts formulated. It is my hope that this summary demonstrates that, though the experience for families in PICU can never be easy, it can be improved, through good, informed design.

Agency and Access: Redesigning the Prison Health Care Request Process
Authors: Scharoun Lisa , Miller Evonne 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis chapter describes the pain points experienced by many prisoners in trying to request medical attention, and the participatory co-design workshop process used by QUT Design Lab researchers to redevelop the Health Services Request Form into an easier-to-use, icon-based form that works for all prisoners, including those with low literacy or who have English as an additional language. The chapter details the international background of difficulties found in providing healthcare services to prisoners before detailing the local circumstances, including broad demographic categories of many incarcerated prisoners in Queensland. The designers then describe their research and participatory design process, before ending the chapter with the re-designed Health Services Request Form.

Authors: Taboada Manuela , Leo Kirsty , Maher Sean , Brunner Thalia , Carson Sue , Da Costa Staché 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis chapter describes the development of an animated video to help clinicians become more aware of and sensitised to the cultural needs of Indigenous and First Nations consumers. Addressing a critical issue that faces many patients from the non-dominant culture, the QUT Design Lab team worked closely with an Aboriginal nurse who highlighted the critical need to gently make clinicians aware of their potential racism and cultural bias when dealing with consumers. The chapter tells the story of the development of the animation, from its initial conception as a trilogy of videos through various issues, into its final product as a single video with a singular animation style that is now being successfully used for clinician training.
Finite-volume scattering on the left-hand cut
Authors: Baião Raposo A. , Hansen M. T. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The two-particle finite-volume scattering formalism derived by Lüscher and generalized in many subsequent works does not hold for energies far enough below the two-particle threshold to reach the nearest left-hand cut. The breakdown of the formalism is signaled by the fact that a real scattering amplitude is predicted in a regime where it should be complex. In this work, we address this limitation by deriving an extended formalism that includes the nearest branch cut, arising from single particle exchange. We focus on two-nucleon (NN → NN) scattering, for which the cut arises from pion exchange, but give expressions for any system with a single channel of identical particles. The new result takes the form of a modified quantization condition that can be used to constrain an intermediate K-matrix in which the cut is removed. In a second step, integral equations, also derived in this work, must be used to convert the K-matrix to the physical scattering amplitude. We also show how the new formalism reduces to the standard approach when the N → Nπ coupling is set to zero.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
This study sought to describe the characteristics of unpaid carers in the UK and assess levels of depression, anxiety, and mental health treatment seeking behaviours in this population.

Methods
Data was derived from Wave 9 (n = 2790) of the COVID-19 Psychological Research Consortium (C19PRC) study, a longitudinal survey of adults in the UK. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the characteristics of unpaid carers, association between caregiver status and psychological wellbeing, and caregiver-specific factors associated with risk of poor psychological wellbeing.

Results
Approximately 15% (n = 417) of the sample reported providing unpaid care. Younger age, having three or more children in the household, and lower income were identified as significant correlates of caregiver status. Unpaid caregivers were at increased risk of depression or anxiety and mental health help-seeking. Unpaid caregivers who were younger, lived in households with one or two children, and had a lower income were at greater risk of depression or anxiety and engaging in mental health help-seeking. Caring for an individual with a terminal illness, long-term illness, learning disability or difficulty, mental health problems, physical disability, and other were linked to increased risk of depression or anxiety, while caring for someone with a learning disability increased risk of mental health help-seeking.

Conclusions
This study indicates that at least one in eight people in the UK provide unpaid care, and that those who provide unpaid care have a far higher risk of experiencing depression or anxiety and seeking mental health treatment. The identification of risk factors associated with these mental health outcomes will facilitate the identification of those in most need of support.
Digital privacy and the law: the challenge of regulatory capture
Authors: Chomanski Bartlomiej , Lauwaert Lode 
Published: August 2024

AbstractDigital privacy scholars tend to bemoan ordinary people’s limited knowledge of and lukewarm interest in what happens to their digital data. This general lack of interest and knowledge is often taken as a consideration in favor of legislation aiming to force internet companies into adopting more responsible data practices. While we remain silent on whether any new laws are called for, in this paper we wish to underline a neglected consequence of people’s ignorance of and apathy for digital privacy: their potential to encourage capture by industry interests. In particular, we argue that such laws may be at increased risk of capture because they are unlikely to be democratically responsive. We make this claim on a twofold basis: first, well-known theoretical mechanisms explaining how the absence of responsiveness leads to capture, identified in prior political science and political philosophy literature, yield the prediction that digital privacy legislation is likely to be unresponsive and thus captured; second, empirical data concerning the European Union’s digital privacy laws, with a special focus on the General Data Protection Regulation, appears to confirm these predictions: the bloc’s (world’s?) flagship privacy protection law seems more responsive to corporate than citizen interests.
Type 1 fimbria and P pili: regulatory mechanisms of the prototypical members of the chaperone-usher fimbrial family
Authors: Isidro-Coxca María I. , Ortiz-Jiménez Stephanie , Puente José L. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractAdherence to both cellular and abiotic surfaces is a crucial step in the interaction of bacterial pathogens and commensals with their hosts. Bacterial surface structures known as fimbriae or pili play a fundamental role in the early colonization stages by providing specificity or tropism. Among the various fimbrial families, the chaperone-usher family has been extensively studied due to its ubiquity, diversity, and abundance. This family is named after the components that facilitate their biogenesis. Type 1 fimbria and P pilus, two chaperone-usher fimbriae associated with urinary tract infections, have been thoroughly investigated and serve as prototypes that have laid the foundations for understanding the biogenesis of this fimbrial family. Additionally, the study of the mechanisms regulating their expression has also been a subject of great interest, revealing that the regulation of the expression of the genes encoding these structures is a complex and diverse process, involving both common global regulators and those specific to each operon.

AbstractUnderstanding the relationship between the concentration of a drug and its therapeutic efficacy or side effects is crucial in drug development, especially to understand therapeutic efficacy in central nervous system drug, quantifying drug-induced site-specific changes in the levels of endogenous metabolites, such as neurotransmitters. In recent times, evaluation of quantitative distribution of drugs and endogenous metabolites using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has attracted much attention in drug discovery research. However, MALDI-MSI quantification (quantitative mass spectrometry imaging, QMSI) is an emerging technique, and needs to be further developed for practicable and convenient use in drug discovery research. In this study, we developed a reliable QMSI method for quantification of clozapine (antipsychotic drug) and dopamine and its metabolites in the rat brain using MALDI-MSI. An improved mimetic tissue model using powdered frozen tissue for QMSI was established as an alternative method, enabling the accurate quantification of clozapine levels in the rat brain. Furthermore, we used the improved method to evaluate drug-induced fluctuations in the concentrations of dopamine and its metabolites. This method can quantitatively evaluate drug localization in the brain and drug-induced changes in the concentration of endogenous metabolites, demonstrating the usefulness of QMSI.
