Flood risk modelling by the synergistic approach of machine learning and best-worst method in Indus Kohistan, Western Himalaya

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Flood risk mapping is essential for effective mitigation and planning. In this study, we propose a novel synergistic approach for flood risk mapping in Indus Kohistan, Pakistan, by integrating machine learning (ML) models and the best-worst method (BWM).

Moving beyond neurophobia to cultivate the neuroquisitive learner

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract “Neurophobia,” a pervasive fear of the neurological sciences, poses a significant barrier in medical education, affecting learners and physicians worldwide. Its consequences are far‐reaching, contributing to a limited neurology workforce and diminished confidence among non‐specialists in managing neurological conditions.

Biographies, ontological security and the socio‐spatial politics shaping teachers' mobility in remote Australia

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 ...

English teachers' journeys since the 2020 Iteration of Black Lives Matter

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2020 resurgence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) mobilised students in England to demand greater representation of racially minoritised voices in English curriculums—a call highlighted by stark inequity: just 1.5% of GCSE texts studied are by racially minoritised authors, despite racially minoritised students comprising 38.0% of the student ...

Comparative Analysis of Bioreactor Design and Scale‐Up for Cultivated Meat Using Monte Carlo‐Based Timescale Modeling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultivated meat offers a sustainable alternative to conventional livestock production but faces significant scale‐up challenges, particularly in bioreactor design for mammalian cell suspension cultures. This study presents a comparative analysis of stirred tank reactors (STR), bubble columns (BC), and airlift reactors (ALR) to assess their ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Implementation of matrix methods in flood risk analysis and assessment

Economics and Environment, 2018
In the work the matrix methods of flood risk analysis and assessment were presented. Also the issue of flood risk in terms of its regulations was presented. The flood risk analysis and assessment were performed with the use of risk matrix for one of the

Development of a novel spatiotemporal propagation function for flood risk prediction in the Daqing River basin, China

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The Daqing River basin in China has been frequently affected by floods. Flood risk exhibits both temporal and spatial interdependence, driven by hydrological memory effects and cascading flood processes within spatially connected river ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.
