‘The Other Parent’: A Critical Policy Analysis of Fatherhood Discourses in the Australian Government's Paid Parental Leave Scheme

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Australian paid parental leave (PPL) government scheme aims to support working parents through financial assistance and the promotion of gender equality in caregiving responsibilities. However, the scheme's implementation has been critiqued for its gendered design, which marginalises fathers and reinforces traditional gender roles.

Sismabeton: a new frontier for ductile concrete [PDF]

open access: yes
The high ductility of Fiber Reinforced Self-consolidating concrete (called Sismabeton) can be developed not only in tension but also in compression. This aspect is evidenced in the present paper by measuring the mechanical response of normal concrete (NC)

Potential of a digital parenting app to support parents of toddlers: Relations between the intensity of app use, language‐related parental self‐efficacy and the home literacy environment

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The home literacy environment (HLE) has a considerable influence on children's language development. How parents perceive their own parenting abilities (e.g., how well they encourage their children's language development) is particularly important when it comes to guiding their children appropriately through different stages of development ...

Academic misconduct appeal services in China: Platform logics, self‐platformization and implications for integrity education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Academic misconduct appeal services have quietly emerged within China's education marketplace, with commercial agencies promoting themselves on social media to assist international students facing misconduct hearings. While existing research on academic integrity has emphasized prevention and detection, far less attention has been paid to what
