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.

An integrative framework of occupational health and safety and health promotion in Australian workplaces
This research project is being undertaken as part of a PhD project of Yanming Lu. Literature suggests that workplace interventions integrating occupational health and safety (OHS) and worksite health promotion (WHP) elements can be more effective in protecting and promoting worker health and safety. As little is known about how to best plan, implement, and evaluate an integrated OHS-WHP approach, this part of the research aims to collect data about workers’ needs of integrated approaches, the extent to which workers receive integrated approaches, and how workers consider the examples of integrated approaches identified in the literature.

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.
