Cohesion Without Consensus: Attitudinal Profiles of Social Cohesion in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Headline indicators of social cohesion in Australia have remained stable in recent years despite rising political polarisation and declining institutional trust worldwide. Yet recent protests and incidents of ethnically and politically motivated violence suggest that cohesion may be under strain. If cohesion is understood not as the pursuit of

Stability of Beach Nourishment Under Extreme Wave Conditions: Insights from Physical-Model Experiments and XBeach Simulations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Beach nourishment is a widely adopted nature-based solution for coastal erosion; however, its design efficacy and morphodynamic resilience under extreme wave conditions remain inadequately quantified, posing challenges for coastal hazard assessment. This

Beachwalls for Beach Erosion Protection

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986
Many shoreline property owner protect the beaches from erosion walls. In many situations, these sea increase in beach erosion forcing, adjoining properties to construct their shoreline. The construction o causes erosion on the adjacent prop more often than not, where beach construction of sea walls in addi erosion to adjacent property has cause of the ...

Shift Angle and Medial Retraction of the Deep Layer on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Are Associated With Intraoperative Reparability in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To determine whether magnetic resonance imaging‐based measurements of the deep layer, specifically the shift angle and medial retraction, can predict intraoperative reparability of large‐to‐massive rotator cuff tears. Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of large‐to‐massive rotator cuff tears ...

Spatio-temporal variability in accretion and erosion of coastal foredunes in the Netherlands: regional climate and local topography. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Depending on the amount of aeolian sediment input and dune erosion, dune size and morphology change over time. Since coastal foredunes play an important role in the Dutch coastal defence, it is important to have good insight in the main factors that ...

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

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.

Vulnerability to beach erosion based on a coastal processes approach

Applied Geography, 2019
Erosive processes on coasts cause several socioeconomic and environmental losses. Understanding the vulnerability to erosion is fundamental to deal with its consequences. We assess the beach vulnerability to erosion based on environmental indicators. The

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.
