However, these expanding innovations also introduce significant risks and failures that can deepen existing injustices. Although growing approaches to responsible innovation establish ethical standards and best practices for conservation technologies, gaps remain in addressing limited and obsolete methods. This perspective article presents the integration of exnovation strategies into conservation science and practice as a set of deliberate efforts to mitigate, diagnose, repair, remove, and substitute misaligned, ineffective, or harmful technologies. We propose exnovation interventions not only to address technological shortcomings but also to open space for responsible innovation pathways that foster negotiation, reflexivity, and context‐sensitive approaches. These insights highlight the need for collaboration, the redistribution of accountability, and participatory engagement to ensure conservation technologies are responsive to local realities and diverse capabilities. 2025-09-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/194772 Title: Conceptualising the everyday harm experienced by people with cognitive disability: A scoping review of microaggression and emotional and psychological abuse. Authors: Idle, J; Robinson, S; Fisher, KR; Ikäheimo, H; Smyth, C; Yoon, J Abstract: BACKGROUND: Many people with disability experience harm in everyday interactions that can leave them feeling insulted, degraded, silenced, or rejected. We adopt the term "everyday harm" to describe this underexplored form of harm. METHOD: The purpose of this scoping review was to assess how the literature on microaggression and emotional and psychological abuse contributes to an understanding of everyday harm and misrecognition. RESULTS: Microaggression and emotional and psychological abuse occur at an interpersonal level and are influenced by organisational structures and attitudes, underpinned by ableist attitudes and stigma. Actions and omissions are both intentional and unintentional and the effects are subjective and cumulative. CONCLUSION: Insights from microaggression and emotional and psychological abuse can inform the concept of everyday harm. Little is known about how people with disability understand and respond to their harmful experiences and everyday harm can offer a language to name and prevent this form of harm. 2025-03-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/194722 Title: Yoga resilience training to prevent the development of posttraumatic stress disorder in active-duty first responders: A cluster randomized controlled trial. Authors: Tan, L; Deady, M; Mead, O; Foright, RM; Brenneman, EM; Bryant, RA; Harvey, SB Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Evidence on effective prevention of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is sparse, particularly among first responders. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a Tactical Mind-Body Resilience Training program on PTSD symptoms in first responders. METHOD: Active-duty first responders (n = 80; Mage = 41.8 years, 82.5% men) were randomized to the intervention group or the waitlist control condition. PTSD symptoms as measured by the PTSD-8 were the primary outcome assessed at postintervention and at 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes were cognitive and emotional coping strategies, resilience, somatic symptoms, work performance, and sickness absence. RESULTS: At postintervention, the intervention group had significantly reduced PTSD symptoms compared to the control group (d = -0.26, difference = -2.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-4.93, -0.11], p = .040); however, this difference was attenuated at 3-month follow-up (d = -0.07, difference = -1.41, 95% CI [-3.83, 1.01], p = .248). The intervention group had significant improvements in cognitive reappraisal and resilience at postintervention compared to the control group, which were sustained at 3 months. The remaining secondary outcomes had statistically nonsignificant improvements. CONCLUSIONS: This workplace-delivered intervention shows potential in preventing the development of PTSD in first responders. Further research is needed on maintaining long-term benefits of this training.

The research utilised a motivation-opportunity-ability (MOA)-based conceptual model and market segmentation, identifying discrete segments within this population with regards to their attitudes to solar PV adoption and informing solar PV adoption interventions tailored to each. Design/methodology/approach: The research utilised a tailored survey distributed to strata property owners. To identify segments within the resulting 547-respondent sample, latent class analysis and k-means cluster analysis were performed. Findings: Data analysis revealed three discrete segments within this sample: “Frustrated Advocates”, who are highly supportive of strata solar but are less likely to consider it feasible for their particular strata scheme and who might respond to an ongoing collaborative intervention; “Passive Supporters”, who are more confident that strata solar would be feasible for their scheme but less enthusiastic in their personal support; and “Older Avoiders”, who are indifferent to strata solar in principle, unwilling to support it in practice, and who might require a carrot-and-stick approach that recognises their actual motivations. Research limitations/implications: The research does not test interventions targeting the identified segments. However, its findings can inform tailored interventions and subsequent case studies, and influence broader research into multi-stakeholder decision-making. Practical implications: This article proposes intervention strategies based on the segments' identified characteristics, to encourage and support adoption of solar PV in existing strata properties. Social implications: This article could help strata property owners and their tenants to access an important form of renewable energy. Originality/value: Through the application of an MOA-based model, this article enhances extant literature by enabling the conceptualisation of the directly relevant factors facing strata property owners seeking to adopt solar PV, particularly the need for collective approval from diverse stakeholders, and demonstrates how a segmentation-based methodology can provide robust findings with regards to their resulting attitudes. 2025-06-03T00:00:00Z
