Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

Semi‐automated assessment for NatureServe subnational conservation status ranks for state floras

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Conservation status ranks measure the potential risk of extinction for species at global, national, and subnational levels, taking into account rarity, threats, and trends. These assessments are largely incomplete due to funding and resource limitations.

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

Can boarding schools help looked after and vulnerable children improve academic attainment?

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The education of children in statutory care, or at the edge of care, is a serious concern for governments and policymakers. How to promote educational opportunities for these children can involve challenging and often contentious proposals. In this paper, we study one proposal put into practice in England: the provision to children who are in ...

An integrated land-sea framework for assessing coastal wetland ecological quality and the impact of Spartina alterniflora expansion: A case study from the eastern coast of China

Ecological Indicators
Coastal wetlands are vital in mitigating climate change through sequestering carbon, maintaining biodiversity and regulating flood storage capacity. Therefore, the ecological environmental quality (EEQ) assessment of coastal wetlands holds significant ...
