British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Documentation for the machine-readable version of A Finding List of Stars of Spectral Type F2 and Earlier in a North Galactic Pole Region [PDF]
The machine-readable data set is the result of an objective-prism survey made with an 80 cm/120 cm Schmidt telescope. The F2 and earlier stars were isolated from later type objects by using the MK classification criteria.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper critically analyses how school readiness has been historically and discursively constructed in Early Childhood Education (ECE) policy in England over the past four decades. Using Bacchi's ‘What's the Problem Represented to be?’ framework and Foucauldian concepts of governmentality, the paper explores how school readiness has shifted

Do Sojourn Effects on Personality Trait Changes Last? A Five‐Year Longitudinal Study
European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract This study examined sojourners' long‐term personality trait changes over five years, extending previous research on immediate sojourn effects. A sample of German students (N = 1095) was surveyed thrice (T1–T3) over the course of an academic year.

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.A modular synthetic approach enables the preparation of azulene‐fused heterocycles via nucleophilic aromatic substitution followed by intramolecular cyclization of alkynyl fluoroazulenes. The method allows the incorporation of various heteroatoms (N, O, S, Se, and Te), leading to structurally diverse heteroannulated azulenes.

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract This study explored the validity of person judgements by targets and their acquaintances (‘informants’) in longitudinally predicting a broad range of psychologically meaningful life experiences. Judgements were gathered from four sources (targets, N = 189; and three types of informants, N = 1352), and their relative predictive validity was ...

Mini‐Hairpin DNA: Extraordinarily Stable Structure and Its Applications
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Mini‐hairpin DNA fragments containing GCGAAGC and GCGAAAGC form exceptionally stable hairpin‐like structures, with only two G−C pairs and one sheared G−A pair, remaining undenatured in 7 M urea and resisting nuclease digestion. These mini‐hairpin sequences frequently appear in replication and transcription origins, influence DNA sequencing fidelity ...

High‐Temperature Heat Pump Test Bench with n‐Butane (R‐600) Generating Steam
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.This work involves building a test bench for a high‐temperature heat pump (HTHP) and analyzing the measurements. The focus is on steam generation using an HTHP to decarbonize process steam demand. The findings indicate that stable steam generation is possible, providing a higher heat transfer coefficient in the heat pump's condenser.

Equilibrium selection through incomplete information in coordination games: An experimental study [PDF]
We perform an experiment on a pure coordination game with uncertainty about the payoffs. Our game is closely related to models that have been used in many macroeconomic and financial applications to solve problems of equilibrium indeterminacy.

A Methodology to Integrate Closed‐Cycle Heat Pumps into Batch Distillation Columns
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.Batch distillation often cannot use vapor recompression due to contamination risks in food and pharma. This study proposes a design for integrating closed‐loop heat pumps using natural fluids. Results show significant energy savings, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional setups.
