Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

A pipeline crisis or a sustainability crisis? Local and national succession planning for headteachers in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recruiting and retaining school leaders is a challenge in many systems worldwide. Previous research has identified three distinct ways in which succession planning can be conceptualised and approached: a ‘pipeline’ approach seeks to match supply and demand for the posts that need filling; a ‘pool’ strategy involves proactively identifying and ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

The Virial Expansion of the Hydrogen Equation of State in Comparison to PIMC Simulations: The Quasiparticle Concept, IPD, and Ionization Degree

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The properties of plasmas in the low‐density limit are described by virial expansions. Analytical expressions are known for the lowest virial coefficients from Green's function approaches. Recently, accurate path‐integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations were performed for the hydrogen plasma at low densities by Filinov and Bonitz (Phys. Rev.

Learning the Lessons of Premature Discontinuation of Eating Disorder Therapy: Informing Guidelines to Improve Retention

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Around one to two in five patients prematurely disengage from eating disorder therapy. This Forum paper suggests innovative strategies to increase retention and strategies for evaluating these with patients who have eating disorders.

Bending and free vibration analysis of thick isotropic plates by using exponential shear deformation theory

Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2012
This paper presents a variationally consistent an exponential shear deformation theory for the bi-directional bending and free vibration analysis of thick plates. The theory presented herein is built upon the classical plate theory.

Real world testing and cost‐effectiveness analysis of subcutaneous EEG (REAL‐ASE): Protocol for a prospective multicentre interventional trial

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common condition associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. Poor documentation of seizures is a major challenge in epilepsy care. Objective seizure counting with mobile devices may mitigate this challenge and improve patient management.

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...
