Unlocking citizen participation: Network characteristics, sense of power, and place attachment as key factors in regional settings

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.
Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

Multi-objective optimization of biomass filler-based asphalt mix manufacturing using response surface methodology

Discover Applied Sciences
Asphalt concrete design is an empirical process that often requires time-consuming, expensive laboratory testing. Optimizing mixture design is crucial to guarantee that asphalt concrete fulfills the required properties.

An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Mortality From Rural Traumatic Brain Injury Are Underestimated Without Inclusion of Prehospital Deaths

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Rural residents are more likely to suffer moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and experience delay to definitive care than urban patients. Prior studies comparing these populations were based on hospitalised patients only. We examined TBI outcomes incorporating pre‐hospital mortality to determine the association between

Growth and Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama L.) From Two Contrasting Habitats in Southern Britain

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We have compiled a unique data set on the age, sex, body weight and dimensions of over 500 European fallow deer from two contrasting areas of habitat in southern England: a high‐density managed parkland population and a lower‐density feral woodland one.

Prediction of rutting in asphalt concrete pavements : the PEDRO model

, 2020
Flexible pavement rutting due to permanent deformation accumulation in asphalt layers is one of the most common modes of road failures. In addition to high maintenance costs, rutting is a major concern for traffic safety, as the rut growth increases the risk for hydroplaning and difficulties in vehicle steering.
