“…Underpinned by the facilitating repertoire, co-production gives equal weighting to expert and other types of knowledge, and decisions are based on what is meaningful to decision-makers [see 52]. Co-production outcomes include 'more-thanknowledge' (Fig 1), which refers to knowledge types that are less tangible and not able to be codified in the same way as traditional forms of knowledge, examples include tacit knowledge or 'know how' [18,64,65].…”

Antarctic environmental change is accelerating with significant regional and global consequences making it critically important for Antarctic research knowledge to inform relevant policymaking forums. A key challenge is maximising the utility of evidence in decision-making, to which scholars have responded by shifting away from linear science-policy arrangements towards co-production alternatives. As an Antarctic Treaty Consultative Party (ATCP), New Zealand (NZ) is responsible for facilitating knowledge exchange (KE) among Antarctic science and policy actors at national and international levels. However, at present, we have few metrics for assessing the success of science-policy dialogues. Furthermore, studies on the Antarctic science-policy interface have so far primarily focused on the international perspective. This paper is the first to examine domestic stakeholder perspectives regarding Antarctic KE using NZ as a case study. We report on the findings of two workshops involving over 60 NZ Antarctic stakeholders in 2021 that aimed to explore the various elements of NZ’s Antarctic science-policy interface and identify barriers or drivers for success, including future opportunities. Our results indicate that there is a desire to shift away from the current linear approach towards a more collaborative model. To achieve this, stakeholders share an understanding that KE practices need to become more equitable, inclusive and diverse, and that the policy community needs to play a more proactive and leading role. Described as a ‘fuzzy beast’, the NZ Antarctic science-policy interface is complex. This study contributes to our understanding of Antarctic KE practices by offering new guidance on several key elements that should be considered in any attempts to understand or improve future KE practices in NZ or within the domestic settings of other ATCPs interested in fostering science-policy success.

“…Insulin resistance is a risk factor for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), CVD, and others. [18][19][20] In contrast, Jalal et al 21 stated a significant relationship between PA and BMI changes, 22 and an increase in WC in respondents with less PA, 23 especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, research by Dyck 24 stated that adults who did moderateto-heavy PA regularly with a duration of 150 minutes/week reduced the risk factors for CVD by as much as 12%.…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home (WFH) led to increased passivity, potentially affecting body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and blood pressure (BP) values, which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to determine the impact of calorie intake on these risk factors in young adults working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This experimental study employed a one-group pre- and post-test design conducted over two months. Respondents' daily physical activities were recorded using Bouchard's questionnaire, and a food record method was used to document all foods consumed over three days. The study followed up with respondents for two months. The results indicated that respondents with good physical activity levels experienced a decrease in BMI: 53.3% of men and 37.5% of women. Adequate calorie intake also contributed to a decrease in BMI, with 53.3% of men and 57.1% of women showing reductions. However, the t-test showed p-values >0.05 for the correlations between calorie intake and BMI, WC, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In conclusion, there was no significant impact of calorie intake on risk factors for CVD, such as obesity and high blood pressure. Nonetheless, it was observed that appropriate calorie intake could potentially prevent the increase of these risk factors. Keywords: calorie intake; cardiovascular disease; COVID-19 pandemic

“…Concerning communication strategies to mobilize knowledge, Mitchell, Harvey, and Wood (2021) emphasise the process of building tacit knowledge through collaborative spaces of dialogue, reflection and situated learning. On the one hand, communication requires horizontality in the collective construction of 'rules' and norms of action that improve the articulation between the research process and its application (Bombard et al 2018).…”

The present article introduces the concept of knowledge mobilisation (KMb) strategies in university research by linking university social responsibility with the concept of inclusive and responsible research, which implies an ethical perspective of equity and inclusion in responding to citizens' needs. The study objective is to discover the ethical position and KMb strategies in 80 research groups from five European countries. The amount and type of strategies applied are analysed from information gathered in semistructured interviews and from KMb indicators. The results show that these strategies are still not widely used and point to four key elements in researchers' ethical positions: commitment, knowledge recognition, dialogue and cooperation. Strategies range from the initial formulation of the research problem to a sustainability plan for the research projects. The conclusions identify an emancipatory ethical perspective that rebalances power relationships between researchers and stakeholders, but that generates tension with public research policies and research quality evaluation criteria.
