Abstract Despite growing interest in the internationalisation of higher education, the experiences of international student parents, particularly international student mothers, remain largely marginalised in research and policy. This paper examines the emotional agency of international student mothers who leave their children behind in their home ...

INEQUALITIES FOR SOME SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
The present paper is expository. We give a survey of some simple methods for finding bounds for some special functions. Our results are based on the recurrence relations satisfied by these functions and on some integral representations.

On a Family of 2-Variable Orthogonal Krawtchouk Polynomials
We give a hypergeometric proof involving a family of 2-variable Krawtchouk polynomials that were obtained earlier by Hoare and Rahman [SIGMA 4 (2008), 089, 18 pages] as a limit of the 9−j symbols of quantum angular momentum theory, and shown to be ...

Abstract Situating the study within an ecological perspective on language education, this article examines how secondary schools in England present Modern Languages (MLs) on official school websites. Focusing on 44 schools in Local Authorities with the lowest percentage average entry for the Languages pillar of the EBacc, we built a text database ...

A matrix formulation of Frobenius power series solutions using products of 4X4 matrices
In Coddington and Levison [7, p. 119, Thm. 4.1] and Balser [4, p. 18-19, Thm. 5], matrix formulations of Frobenius theory, near a regular singular point, are given using 2X2 matrix recurrence relations yielding fundamental matrices consisting of two ...

Migrant success in UK Education: Are there lessons for government social mobility policy?
Abstract The school achievement and career aspirations of 23 sixth form students at a multi‐cultural urban academy in the UK are explored through interviews. The sample includes 16 s‐generation migrants, 6 UK‐born students with migrant parents and 1 UK‐born student, selected to represent a cohort of over 300 post‐16 learners.

QD-algorithms and recurrence relations for biorthogonal polynomials
Biorthogonal polynomials Pn(i,j) include as particular cases vector orthogonal polynomials of dimension d and −d(d∈N). We pay special attention to the cases of dimension 1 and −1.

Lessons from primary school students' perceptions of the factors that influence school connectedness
Abstract School connectedness is critical to improving students' health, development and wellbeing. Research into primary school students' perceptions of the factors that influence their sense of connectedness is essential for identifying practices that promote success.

Skew-Symmetric Generalized Normal and Generalized t Distributions
In this paper, we introduce the skew-symmetric generalized normal and the skew-symmetric generalized t distributions, which are skewed extensions of symmetric special cases of generalized skew-normal and generalized skew-t distributions, respectively. We

Abstract Previous research concerning Global South doctoral students in the United Kingdom has mainly situated their experiences within adaptationist paradigms, emphasising cultural adjustment and assimilation into Western academic norms. Such studies often depict students as passive recipients, overlooking their agency and the transformative potential
