Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

Eye makeup in Northwestern Iran at the time of the Assyrian Empire: a new kohl recipe based on manganese and graphite from Kani Koter (Iron Age III)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Kohl was ubiquitous in ancient Egypt and the Middle East, and routinely included among the toiletries deposited in burials. For Egypt, kohl recipes are increasingly well‐studied and known to use a range of inorganic and organic ingredients. Although these are often lead‐based, manganese‐ and silicon‐rich compounds are also attested.

Museum Care of Indigenous Cradles: Insights From Consultation With Tribal Communities

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional cradles are important objects in many Indigenous American cultures. A historical tendency of museums to overlook Indigenous perspectives on proper object handling and display has often resulted in improper care of culturally sensitive objects in museum collections.

Gentrification Everywhere? Delinking Culture‐Led Regeneration From Gentrification

The Developing Economies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper challenges the prevalent use of “gentrification” (shishen hua [士紳化/仕紳化] or jinshen hua [縉紳化]) as a catch‐all critique of culture‐led regeneration and neighborhood transformations, including rent increases and shifts in aesthetic and tastes, in Sinophone Asia and beyond.

Core-shell microdisk with InGaN/GaN quantum wells for dual-band whispering gallery mode lasing

Chip
The development of high-quality, stable, and cost-effective micro/nano dual-band lasing remains a crucial challenge for multifunctional applications. In this study, we demonstrated high-Q dual-band whispering gallery mode lasing in an independent core ...

Optomechanically induced non-reciprocity in microring resonators

, 2012
We describe a new approach for on-chip optical non-reciprocity which makes use of strong optomechanical interaction in microring resonators. By optically pumping the ring resonator in one direction, the optomechanical coupling is only enhanced in that ...

‘I'm Just Not Artistic’—An Exploration of Initial Teacher Education Trainees' Confidence in Their Art Ability and their Perceptions of Teaching the Primary Art and Design Curriculum

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the ongoing debate surrounding the degradation of art and design in primary education and the perceptions of trainee teachers preparing to teach the subject. It provides a starting point for further research into the role of initial teacher education (ITE) in reframing trainee teachers' conceptions of the nature and ...
