Conceptualising quality early childhood education: Learning from young children in Brazil and South Africa through creative and play‐based methods

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

Deep Music Information Dynamics

arXiv, 2020
Music comprises of a set of complex simultaneous events organized in time. In this paper we introduce a novel framework that we call Deep Musical Information Dynamics, which combines two parallel streams - a low rate latent representation stream that is assumed to capture the dynamics of a thought process contrasted with a higher rate information ...

Mustango: Toward Controllable Text-to-Music Generation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The quality of the text-to-music models has reached new heights due to recent advancements in diffusion models. The controllability of various musical aspects, however, has barely been explored. In this paper, we propose Mustango: a music-domain-knowledge-inspired text-to-music system based on diffusion.

The recruitment and retention of teachers of colour in Wales. An ongoing conundrum?

The Curriculum Journal, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 118-137, March 2023., 2023
Abstract There are a disproportionate number of teachers of colour (ToC) in Wales in comparison to pupils of colour. Teachers are less ethnically diverse than the pupils they are teaching with only 1.3% of teachers categorising themselves as being from a non‐White background.

Transforming Room Acoustics with Causality‐Driven Dual‐Function Passive Metamaterials

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents an dual acoustic metamaterial for rooms that achieves excellent broadband performance for both sound absorption and sound diffusion. This is done by using causality formulations linking the absorption of the passive system to its volume, yielding an optimal surface area ratio required for excellent sound absorption and while ...

Virtual reality hypnosis in the management of pain: Self‐reported and neurophysiological measures in healthy subjects

European Journal of Pain, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 148-162, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH) has emerged as a new and promising option for pain management. Nonetheless, neural dynamics of pain modulation during VRH have not been investigated yet. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of VRH on pain, combining neurophysiological and self‐reported measurements.
