A Preliminary Exploratory Measurement Model for Systems Thinking in Defence and Aerospace Engineering: A Bifurcated Framework Developed via Multiple Correspondence Analysis

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering faces a ‘complexity crisis’ characterized by interlinked, multidisciplinary ‘wicked problems’, particularly within the defence and aerospace sectors. Although systems thinking is recognized as a critical competency for navigating this environment, empirical quantitative frameworks for its measurement remain limited.

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks

steel research international, EarlyView.
Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

Identity Entanglement: Rethinking Marginality through the Intersectional, Liminal, and Antithetical

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
While identity research has given sustained attention to marginality, intersectionality, and the effects of power on identity, the formal interactional dynamics through which identities are constituted remain limited. I present identity entanglement as a useful framework for better understanding and articulating the relational complexities of identity.

Accelerating Mission Engineering: Evidence of a Stratified Landscape and a Path Toward Unified Practice

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mission Engineering is maturing as a Systems Engineering discipline, yet adoption of its common frameworks remains stratified. This study examines whether selective adoption is observable across ME scholarship and develops a framework to address identified barriers.

Creating a Masterpiece. The Road to (and Beyond) Woodward and Hoffmann's 1969 Angewandte Chemie Treatise

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This publication describes how R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann crafted their masterpiece publications. Illustrations include Woodward's first draft of the famous “Violations There are none. Nor can violations be expected of so fundamental a principle of maximum bonding.” Original but discarded text shows the stepwise paths toward the W‐H masterpieces.

Creating a multilingual assessment ecology in the classroom

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing the educational needs of bi/multilingual students in K‐12 classrooms, this study explores teachers' engagement with multilingualism in assessment practice. Drawing on fieldwork conducted with language and mathematics teachers in Ontario, Canada, the study generates empirical insight into teachers' development and use of multilingual

Cumulative Testing for Learning Spoken Vocabulary

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Cumulative testing is known to improve vocabulary learning by integrating both new and previously introduced words in weekly quizzes. While evidence for its benefits is promising, prior research has primarily focused on the written mode of vocabulary, with target words studied, practiced, and tested in the visual mode only.

Metalinguistic Awareness in the EFL Classroom and Beyond: Exploring the Potential of Translation Tasks

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Current trends encouraging a move away from monolingual teaching have sparked a renewed interest in the role of translation in language instruction. Yet, there are few theoretically and empirically grounded proposals regarding specific uses of translation in the language classroom.

Introducing and Evaluating a Measure of Lexical Diversity Across Word Classes

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Lexical diversity (LD) has been shown to be a strong predictor of second language (L2) proficiency. However, most current indices combine all word classes into a single measure and thus only capture the broadest patterns of lexical variation.

Longitudinal Tracking of Persistence in Other‐Repair Practices in an Audio‐Mediated English Private Tutoring Setting

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Private tutoring—or shadow education—has received ample scholarly attention due to increasing demand from parents for reasons of social mobility in ESL/EFL contexts. Referred to as English private tutoring (EPT) for language learning purposes, this type of non‐formal education shares certain features of formal education like content and ...
