Understanding the paradox of primary teacher shortage in low‐income countries: Insights from Malawi

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Malawi faces a persistent and chronic teacher shortage, particularly at the primary school level, with much of the challenge attributed to teacher supply constraints. While the causes of teacher shortages are known to be complex and context‐dependent, there remains a lack of in‐depth, country‐specific research to guide effective policies ...

Adaptation and evaluation of a mechanistic grass growth simulation model for grass-based systems

, 2013
An accurate grass growth model would be a valuable tool in anticipating grass growth and grass utilization at farm level. Ideally, a grass growth simulation model must be accurate, dynamic, use realistic input parameters and incorporate meteorological data. The objective of this study was to parameterize the grass growth model developed by Jouven et al.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.
