No other choice: The fracturing of reflexivity in families' pathways into (non‐)elective home education in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In England, education is compulsory, but schooling is not: it is legal for families to home educate their children. This form of education is officially termed by the Department for Education as ‘Elective Home Education’. As this designation implies, many families home educate as a positive and preferential ‘choice’.

Towards a Socially Inclusive Circular Economy: Evidence From Social Enterprises in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) and social entrepreneurship (SE) are increasingly recognised as critical pathways for sustainable development, yet CE research often underplays social inclusion, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs).

Research Progress on Heat Stress of Rice at Flowering Stage

Rice Science, 2019
Global warming has caused frequent occurrence of heat stress at the flowering stage of single-season rice in the Yangtze River region of China, which results in declines of spikelet fertility and yield in rice.

Floral traits associated with low temperature tolerance at the young microspore stage in rice

Plant Production Science
Low temperature during the booting stage, particularly the young microspore stage (YMS), reduces pollen production and spikelet fertility in rice.

Identification and evaluation of aromatic short grain and coarse grain potential restorers and maintainers in rice hybrids [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2014
Three CMS lines IR58025A (Wild abortive (WA) cytoplasm of Oryza perennis), CRMS31A (WA- cytoplasm) and CRMS32A (“Kalinga”cytoplasm from „Dunghansali‟) and 20 diverse testers were crossed in line × tester fashion to generate 60 hybrids. The experiment was

Source–Sink Balance Optimization Depends on Soil Nitrogen Condition So as to Increase Rice Yield and N Use Efficiency

Agronomy, 2023
Genetic improvement has been devoted to increasing rice yield by increasing the spikelet number per panicle and the spikelet/leaf ratio. As a result, indica-japonica hybrid rice “Yongyou” varieties with large panicles and superhigh yield potential have ...

Identification of Novel QTLs for Spikelet Fertility, Panicle Compactness and Phytohormone Ethylene to Decipher Poor Grain Filling of Basal Spikelets in Dense Panicle Rice

, 2021
Abstract High grain number is positively correlated with grain yield in rice, but it is compromised because of poor filling of basal spikelets in dense panicle bearing numerous spikelets. The phenomenon that turns the basal spikelets of compact panicle sterile in rice is largely unknown.

Character education as curriculum‐making in the humanities: A scoping review

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This scoping review examines how character education is conceptualised and enacted within humanities curricula across international contexts. While character education is widely promoted as supporting the development of ethical, civic and relational dispositions, its place within curriculum design remains contested, particularly in subjects ...

Disaggregating the Effect of Drought and Heat Stress During Flowering on Spikelet Fertility in Rice [PDF]

, 2015
Due to rice’s wide geographic distribution, extending from 50°N to 35°S, rice is forecasted to be the most vulnerable crop to warming global climates. Previous studies have predicted lower rice yields and increasing rice yield variability due to higher ...

Identification and validation of QTLs for cold tolerance at the booting stage and other agronomic traits in a rice cross of a Japanese tolerant variety, Hananomai, and a NERICA parent, WAB56-104

Plant Production Science, 2018
In Africa, cold temperatures occur in the highlands of East and Southern Africa and in some areas of the Sahel region of West Africa leading to substantial rice yield losses.
