Sustainable curriculum innovation through educational design research in conservatoire education

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study reported a four‐year educational design research (EDR) project at a Dutch conservatoire, where researchers and practitioners collaboratively redesigned the Bachelor of Music curriculum. Through iterative, practitioner‐led cycles of exploration, prototyping, implementation, and evaluation, the intervention produced a shared ...

Motion planning and control of an installation robot for attitude adjustment of arc parts in underground shield tunneling

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Inspired by spiders, the multilegged walk‐through assembling robot for arc parts achieves high‐precision synchronous control under heavy loads through dual‐layer hydraulic pose dynamics modeling and hierarchical pressure optimization, significantly enhancing shield tunneling assembly efficiency and precision.

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

Single‐cell sequencing reveals potential novel insights into appendage‐patterning and joint‐development in a spider

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Jointed appendages represent one of the key innovations of arthropods, and thus understanding the development and evolution of these structures is important for the understanding of the evolutionary success of Arthropoda. In this paper, we analyze a cell cluster that was identified in a previous single‐cell sequencing (SCS ...

Tick‐Tock, the Time Has Come: Leveraging TikTok to Understand, Prevent, and Treat Eating Disorders

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective TikTok—a highly engaging social media platform with a powerful algorithm that displays short videos—has become massively popular in recent years. As research highlights the concerning relationship between image‐based content on social media and disordered eating symptoms, TikTok may serve as an optimal platform to understand eating ...

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.
