    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2025-04-02) Kusumaningrum FM; Dewi FST; Pangastuti HS; Yeung P
    Development of aging policies and activities needs perspective from older adults to ensure the inclusion of older adults’ values and needs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perspective on and experience in achieving successful aging from older adults who live in the community in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was employed to obtain the data from 21 community-dwelling older adults aged 60+ years old and to analyze the data using Colaizzi’s method of phenomenological data analysis. The analysis concludes that successful aging is a process of attaining serenity by managing expectations with adjustment, acceptance, and gratitude. The expectations include the autonomy and health, fulfillment of necessities, family attainments and relationship, and harmonious social relationship. Successful aging programs should support older adults’ process in achieving expectations and improve their capacity to adapt and experience serenity as they age.

    AI-enabled augmented reality exhibition guide systems and their acceptance in Chinese museums : Master of Business Studies (Management), Massey Business School, Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand
    (Massey University, 2024) Fu, Zuguo
    This study focuses on a survey of visitors' acceptance of AI-enabled Augmented Reality (AR) Exhibition Guide Systems (AAEGS) in a Chinese museum environment. I have studied how visitor acceptance of a museum guide system can be improved by improving the informativeness, personalisation and interactivity of the system. In this paper, I developed a model through my understanding of the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) theory to show that visitors' acceptance of AAEGS is impacted by these three attributes. The mediating effects of cognitive and affective involvement in this process are also tested. In this study, a quantitative research methodology was used, I used a 7-point Likert scale questionnaire and collected visit data from 417 museum visitors to empirically validate the mdel developed in the thesis. My findings suggest that the informative, personalised and interactive features of AAEGS can impact on visitors' acceptance of AAEGS. Cognitive and affective involvement worked in the modelling of this study. I tested the mediating impact of cognitive involvement and affective involvement and found that these attributes influenced visitors' cognitive involvement and affective involvement, leading to their decide to accept AAEGS. The utilization of AI-enabled Augmented Reality (AR) Exhibition Guide Systems aids museum personnel, in comprehending how to improve visitors' immersive experience and satisfaction. This study provides a basis for future research on AI guided tours.

    Drivers of Palatability for Cats and Dogs-What It Means for Pet Food Development
    (MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2023-03-23) Watson PE; Thomas DG; Bermingham EN; Schreurs NM; Parker ME; Biagi G
    The pet food industry is an important sector of the pet care market that is growing rapidly. Whilst the number of new and innovative products continues to rise, research and development to assess product performance follows traditional palatability methodology. Pet food palatability research focuses on the amount of food consumed through use of one-bowl and two-bowl testing, but little understanding is given to why differences are observed, particularly at a fundamental ingredient level. This review will highlight the key differences in feeding behaviour and nutritional requirements between dogs and cats. The dominant pet food formats currently available and the ingredients commonly included in pet foods are also described. The current methods used for assessing pet food palatability and their limitations are outlined. The opportunities to utilise modern analytical methods to identify complete foods that are more palatable and understand the nutritional factors responsible for driving intake are discussed.
