Shedding light on the environmental efficiency of the public light service: minimising light pollution through the global Malmquist–Luenberger index

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for evidence in public management and the implementation of good management by public bodies is becoming increasingly important, and the principles of effectiveness and efficiency should be reinforced. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the change in efficiency in the provision of public lighting services by local governments ...

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) kelt rheotaxis and position choice are influenced by flow velocity and turbulence in a regulated river

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The migratory behaviour of Atlantic salmon kelts is poorly understood. Due to the Atlantic salmon's considerable socio‐economic and ecological importance, their precipitous population abundance declines, and the population resilience potential of salmon kelts, addressing these knowledge gaps is important.

Dementia‐Friendly Hospital—The Perspective of Professional Dementia Experts

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the professional dementia experts' understanding of a dementia‐friendly hospital to identify its characteristics. Design We used a qualitative design embedded in a case study. A total of 16 semi‐structured expert interviews were conducted with 17 professional dementia experts. Using inductive content analysis, the interviews

Junior doctors' experiences with vulnerability: A rich picture study

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Context The transition to practice is a context in which junior doctors can feel vulnerable. Although we know junior doctors experience intense emotions during their transition to practice, we still do not understand the role of vulnerability in this process. Vulnerability may cause emotional suffering but also offers an opportunity for growth

Virtuous Deferral

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Virtue epistemology has long struggled with the “Creditability Dilemma”: how can knowledge gained through deference be creditable to the knower if it primarily depends on others’ cognitive work? We propose a novel solution by developing a telic account of doxastic deference as a distinctive kind of social‐epistemic performance.

Root and microbial contributions to anoxic microsite formation in the rhizosphere: a microfluidic approach

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant root‐associated anoxic microsites may influence the fate of nutrients and contaminants in the rhizosphere, but their dynamics remain relatively unknown. To examine the formation of root‐induced anoxic microsites over space and time, we use microfluidic devices integrated with transparent, planar oxygen sensors in a wheat (Triticum ...
