Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 10, Issue 11, April 14, 2023., 2023 MoS2/MoSe2 type‐I heterojunction presents a correlation between layers alignment and band gap. At some situations of alignment, a semi‐metal character arises due to overlapping of orbitals. The results show that this new material has potential applications in field–effect transistors and solar cells, due to the beneficial and specific band alignment ...

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 387-402, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Early childhood educational development (ECED) is increasingly recognized as a crucial period for human development. We studied the relation of cultural capital, economic capital, and participation in center‐based ECED at a local level. We used a high‐quality national database, collecting data from 103 Italian provinces.

Systematic review of conservation interventions to promote voluntary behavior change
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Understanding human behavior is vital to developing interventions that effectively lead to proenvironmental behavior change, whether the focus is at the individual or societal level. However, interventions in many fields have historically lacked robust forms of evaluation, which makes it hard to be confident that these conservation ...

“Making Education Possible Again”: Pragmatist Experiments for a Troubled and Down‐to‐Earth Pedagogy
Educational Theory, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 491-507, August 2022., 2022 Abstract In this article, Bianca Thoilliez draws on pragmatist notions of fallibilism and pluralism to develop proposals for possible educational interventions to address the problem of “post‐truth” conditions. Post‐truth, she contends, is not only a political danger for liberal democracies, but it also poses a serious threat of extinction for our ...

Regulation and Quality Assurance Agencies of Higher Education in Mexico
Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 518-533, September 2021., 2021 This article examines the quality assurance (QA) regime of higher education (HE) in Mexico. In particular, we examine how the regulatory framework of HE quality has evolved in the past three decades and the different regulatory configurations and policy instruments used by QA agencies.
