Private landcare benefits for farmers and nature
This study looks into private landcare and its benefits for people and nature. For us, private landcare means any land management that promotes healthy landscapes and wildlife. Our results will produce information for agencies, like the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust, on ways to help landholders benefit more from nature management, including conservation agreements and tree planting. You are invited to participate in a chat (interview) that will take approximately 1-hour. During our chat, you will be asked questions about the impacts of your farm management choices on your life and the natural environment and what support you need to improve the health of the environment on your farm.

After Covid, Symptoms & Impacts to Everyday Activities and Driving
We know that Covid-19 is having longer term effects on some people who recover from the initial infection. We are hoping by finding out about these prolonged symptoms and this will deepen our understanding and knowledge base. Additionally, we seek to find out more about the impacts of prolonged symptoms to a person’s abilities to participate in life activities, such as driving. You do not need to have experienced long Covid to contribute, as everyone’s experience helps us know more.

Effect of low dose atropine on ocular changes during accommodation in children with myopia
We are investigating whether a very dilute concentration of atropine eye drops will affect the changes that occur in the eye’s length and optical quality in children and young adults when they focus at near distances. This will improve our understanding of the effects of low dose atropine eye drops and how they may slow short-sightedness development in children.

Biomechanics of lying in middle adulthood
In the QUT Biomechanics and Spine Research Group (BSRG) we are currently conducting a study into the biomechanics of lying and how this might affect sleep quality. In Western society we spend more time lying down to sleep than any other single daily activity. However, the scientific literature describing the biomechanical evaluation of lying substrates, particularly commercial mattresses, is scarce.

Director financial literacy and effective board governance
Given that all board directors are required to monitor the finances and financial monitoring failures are frequently reported, many directors have voiced concern that the bar has been raised too high. By investigating how director financial capability, motivation and boardroom dynamics influence financial monitoring, our research will provide evidence as to why boards experience monitoring failure and how directors, boards and regulators can strengthen financial monitoring, particularly in skills diverse boards.
