Ground-ice stable isotopes and cryostratigraphy reflect late Quaternary palaeoclimate in the Northeast Siberian Arctic (Oyogos Yar coast, Dmitry Laptev Strait) [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2017
To reconstruct palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental conditions in the northeast Siberian Arctic, we studied late Quaternary permafrost at the Oyogos Yar coast (Dmitry Laptev Strait).

Teacher Well‐Being Across Career Stages: An Ecological Study of Early‐ and Mid‐Career English Teachers in Japanese Secondary Schools

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Teacher well‐being has garnered increasing attention in language education, as it plays a vital role in shaping both their professional lives and student learning. Although its importance is recognised, further research is still needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of language teachers' well‐being.

Climatic Changes in the Middle and Late Period of the Last Glacial Period in Liaohua Section of Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province Recorded by End-Member Grain Size

Redai dili, 2023
Late Quaternary aeolian sediment sequences are widely distributed in the Poyang Lake area and are good subjects for climate evolution research. However, previous studies have focused mainly on aeolian sediments and less on lacustrine facies and their ...

Measuring Interactional Competence in a Japanese University EFL Speaking Context

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability to interact is an integral aspect of speaking proficiency. Therefore, methods of assessing interaction need to be incorporated into second language (L2) speaking tests. The main purpose of this exploratory study is to attempt to quantify interactional competence (IC) in a Japanese university EFL (English as a foreign language ...

Changed Minds and L2 Motivation: Reflections of Japanese EFL Students Living, Laboring and Learning in Vietnam

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT English as a lingua franca (ELF) is increasingly used for communication in many EFL contexts, including Vietnam. Although Japan and Vietnam have a long history of economic cooperation, for practical reasons, English typically functions as the medium of communication between the two groups. This study examines Japanese expats who had studied or

Long-term palaeomagnetic secular variation and excursions from the western Equatorial Pacific Ocean (MIS2-4)

, 2017
New palaeomagnetic results are presented for the Pleistocene (MIS2-4) portion of deep-sea core MD98-2181 (MD81; Devao Gulf, Philippine Islands). MD81 is the highest resolution (similar to 50 cm ky-1) palaeomagnetic secular variation (PSV) record for ...

Late Pleistocene Climate–Weathering Dynamics in Bohai Bay: High-Resolution Sedimentary Proxies and Their Global Paleoclimatic Synchronicity

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Understanding the climate–weathering coupling mechanisms remains pivotal for interpreting global glacial–interglacial cycles, yet advancements have been constrained by the limited high-resolution sedimentary archives.

Entangled Discourses and Realities of English: Japanese Undergraduates’ Everyday Online and Offline Language Experiences

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on the narratives of two Japanese undergraduate students, this article examines their everyday experiences of using and learning English, situated within entangled relations of power. Drawing on the Foucauldian notion of discourse, the study reveals how multiple power/knowledge systems—such as native speakerism, prescriptivism ...

Parallelisms between sea surface temperature changes in the western tropical Atlantic (Guiana Basin) and high latitude climate signals over the last 140 000 years [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2015
Sea surface temperatures (SST) in the Guiana Basin over the last 140 ka were obtained by measuring the C37 alkenone unsaturation index Uk'37 in the sediment core MD03-2616 (7° N, 53° W).

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1050-1061, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).
