Systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease risk is associated with long‐term exposure to fine particulate matter

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a possible trigger of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs). We investigated SARDs risk related to long‐term exposure to PM2.5 and its components (ammonium, black carbon, mineral dust, sea salt, nitrate, sulfate, organic matter), the composition of which may affect toxicity.

Expanding worldviews on psychometric analysis of measurement tools in health professions education and research

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldviews influence research—from design to interpretation and reporting. Historically, psychometrics has been predominantly situated within a positivist paradigm, while social research has often aligned with interpretivist or critical paradigms. However, emerging perspectives in the philosophy‐of‐science are challenging this rigid alignment,

Environmental Dynamics in Animal Waste Reclamation in the Scaling up of Livestock in Thailand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Thailand has seen a scaling up of pig production in numbers and structure. Nonetheless, in-house separation and agricultural reclamation of pig solid waste are common practice.

Reflexive thematic analysis and men's embodiment following injury or illness: A worked example

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Reflexive thematic analysis (reflexive TA) originated within psychology and the social sciences and has become an increasingly popular qualitative analytic method across a range of disciplines. In this article, we offer a brief methodological guide for researchers hoping to use the method, suitable for beginners through to those experienced in

ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT AND MODELLING OF SALTS TRANSFER IN FOUR LAND RESTORATION SCHEMES IN THE COAL MINING REGION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The mining district where the Western Donbas coal mines are emplaced has accumulated wastes in the form of tailings, heaps, dumps, and slurry deposits. Meantime, only small part of the waste from these sites is “recycled” in other areas such

“Basic human things”: Investigating vehicle residents' continually fractured (information) landscapes

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This ethnographic study explores vehicle residents' information practices in the United States (US). Vehicle residents are people whose primary means of housing is a vehicle. This work builds on previous research encompassing transitions and fractured (information) landscapes. Using fractured information landscapes as the theoretical framework,

Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 163 000 ha of mine lands in Pennsylvania (PA) have the potential to produce willow as a feedstock for renewable energy generation. Each year these lands could produce between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of willow, which can be a feedstock for bioenergy (i.e., biopower) with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) or sustainable aviation ...

Combining dynamic life cycle assessment and net ecosystem exchange through the framework of biobased materials and products‐life cycle assessment (BBM‐LCA): application to polylactic acid

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biobased products can achieve carbon negativity by storing biogenic carbon in the technosphere through circular loops. Quantifying these benefits requires quantitative assessment tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA). However, the LCA of biobased materials is not straightforward due to the complexity of addressing agroecosystem carbon ...
