The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

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.

Fuzzy Ordering Theory and Its Use in Filter Generalization

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2001
The rank ordering of samples is widely used in robust nonlinear signal processing. Recent advances in nonlinear filtering algorithms have focused on combining spatial and rank (SR) order information into the filtering process to allow spatial ...

Quasi-Copulas, Copulas and Fuzzy Implicators

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2020
In this paper, we study relations between fuzzy implicators and some kinds of fuzzy conjunctors, in particular, quasi-copulas and copulas. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the classes of all quasi-copulas and 1-Lipschitz fuzzy ...

Learning to ‘be’ an activist: Exploring the relationship between activism and informal education in a youth activism group case study

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Young people in the United States (and beyond) access spaces for activism in varied ways, including the out‐of‐school time sector, where youth activism (YA) groups draw on informal learning pedagogies to engage young people in collective action.

Between soft power and suspicion: Chinese international students as diasporic actors in U.S.‐China geopolitical tensions

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the under‐theorized political role and identity of Chinese international students, who emerge as significant actors caught between U.S. soft power ambitions and rising geopolitical suspicion. Amid escalating U.S.‐China tensions, these students are forced to confront environments shaped by competing geopolitical discourses ...

Aggregations in classes of fuzzy relations

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis: Studia Mathematica, 2006
We consider aggregations of fuzzy relations using aggregation functions of $n$ variables. After recalling fundamental properties of fuzzy relations we examine aggregation functions which preserve reflexivity, symmetry, connectedness and transitivity of ...

Positive Implicative Ideals of BCK-Algebras Based on Intuitionistic Falling Shadows

Mathematics, 2018
The concepts of a positive implicative ( ∈ , ∈)-intuitionistic fuzzy ideal and a positive implicative falling intuitionistic fuzzy ideal are introduced, and several properties are investigated. Characterizations of a positive implicative
