Brokers, Collaborators and Knowledge Translators: Expanding the Role of Research Assistants in Geographic Research

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While ‘local’ research assistants (RA) often play a key role in knowledge production in fieldwork‐based disciplines like geography, their role and agency often remain silenced. This paper brings together scholarship in feminist geography and critical development studies to reposition RAs as brokers, collaborators, and knowledge translators.

A Modified Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Levy Flight and Double-Archive Mechanism

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In the past few decades, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) has increasingly attracted attention from scientists. To obtain a set of more accurate and well-distributed solutions, many variations of multi-objective PSO algorithms have been ...

Veterinarian attitudes towards immunocontraceptive use in cats

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Background The continuously expanding global cat population poses concerns to public health, native ecosystems and individual animal welfare. These concerns have led to additional management strategies to reduce unowned cat numbers, including the development of feline immunocontraceptives.

Trauma, Testimony and Lower Secondary Holocaust Education in Rywka Lipszyc's and Otto Wolf's Diaries

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how Holocaust‐related trauma is represented in two diaries written by Jewish adolescents during the Second World War: Rywka Lipszyc's diary and Otto Wolf's diary. The article combines a thematically guided close reading of the diaries with a didactic discussion of their possible use in lower secondary literary education ...

The statistics of Rayleigh-Levy flight extrema

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Rayleigh-Levy flights have played a significant role in cosmology as simplified models for understanding how matter distributes itself under gravitational influence. These models also exhibit numerous remarkable properties that enable predictions of a wide range of characteristics.

A series of (un)fortunate events: Commercial bank interest rates and deposit reallocation during the Great Depression in the Netherlands

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

Levy flight is not evolved behavior

open access: yes, 2011
Tracks of moving animals have many short moves interspersed with longer moves, and frequencies of all moves together often indicate Levy flights (a type of power law)1. The Levy flight foraging hypothesis suggests that, ‘since Levy flights and walks can optimize search efficiencies, therefore natural selection should have led to adaptations for Levy ...

Self‐Directed Teaching Strategies and Professional Learning in Technological Implementation: A Collaborative Autoethnography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological integration into teaching offers significant pedagogical potential, yet it can also intensify the challenge of addressing systemic barriers to inclusion. This issue is especially important for teaching‐focused academics (TAs), who are increasingly leading classroom instruction and translating institutional digital priorities into
