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.

Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

Activism as education in and through the youth climate justice movement
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Young people worldwide are increasingly participating in a global movement for climate justice, yet to date, little research has examined how youth climate justice activists conceive of and experience activism as education. The present study used in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews with 16 US climate justice activists (aged 15–17) to address ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The global teacher shortage continues to intensify, with disparate impacts across geographic and socio‐economic communities. In Queensland, Australia, where this study originates, post‐COVID teacher shortages have intensified workforce pressures, leaving several regional, rural and remote schools as some of the ‘hardest‐to‐staff’ in the ...

A curated review of ESA publications for teaching ecology
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.Abstract Since the early 1990s, the Ecological Society of America's journals have published hundreds of articles of direct relevance to those who teach ecology—especially at the undergraduate level. In an effort to draw attention to that literature, we conducted an analysis to identify well‐cited articles, as well as those that may be underrecognized ...

High‐performance tetrahedral palladium nanocatalyst for microwave‐assisted organic synthesis
Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.Tetrahedral palladium nanoparticles anchored on graphene sheets (T‐Pd/graphene) were synthesized through a solvent‐free process involving thermal decomposition in an environment rich in carbon monoxide at elevated temperatures and have high catalytic activity for organic chemistry reactions. Abstract Palladium is widely recognized for its effectiveness

BMEMat, EarlyView.MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy
