Powerful transformations: The experiences of higher education teaching staff who were first‐generation university students

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, a university education has been seen primarily as a route for the middle classes to achieve professional qualifications while structural barriers have served to restrict entry to individuals from particular demographics. First‐generation students (FGS), often with low socio‐economic backgrounds, face multiple barriers to Higher ...

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Beyond Conventional Cost–Benefit Analysis to Integrated Sustainability Assessment in Additive Manufacturing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) adoption provides numerous benefits, including decentralised production, design flexibility, mass customisation, reduced material waste and lightweight designs. However, AM investment decisions are complex and challenging for manufacturers, and limited knowledge exists about the holistic assessment of relevant costs

Characterizing Low Falling Number in the Absence of Elevated Alpha‐Amylase Activity in Soft White Wheat and the Impact on Japanese Sponge Cakes

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Non‐alpha‐amylase induced low falling number was identified in 2024 soft white wheat. The objectives of this work were to characterize these low falling number samples and determine the impact on end‐product quality. The results were analyzed to determine differences in flour characteristics that might result in a low
