Making it explicit – Sustained shared thinking dialogue as a way to explore children's perspectives on quality in German early childhood education and care

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract To negotiate quality in early childhood education and care, we must ask from different perspectives what constitutes a good centre for children. The children themselves have only recently been identified as a resource to contribute to that discussion.

A stochastic Stefan problem

open access: yes, 2011
We consider a stochastic perturbation of the Stefan problem. The noise is Brownian in time and smoothly correlated in space.

Knowing education in Thailand like a global expert organisation: Politics, context and data

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Global expert organisations play increasingly significant roles in the way that education is understood and governed internationally, including by influencing the discourses through which education is conceptualised and shaping norms of what counts as success, failure, progress and the most desirable visions for the future.

Socioeconomic status, parenting factors and academic achievement among Chinese adolescents aged 12–13: How do they relate?

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has shown that students from higher socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds generally outperform their lower SES peers. Nevertheless, some low SES students succeed, albeit it ‘against the odds.’ Coleman's (1988) theory of social capital in the family suggests that financial capital, human capital and social capital all affect

Center manifolds for evolution equations associated with the Stefan problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Evolution equations can be used for solving the Stefan problem. We show the existence of a center manifold for an evolution equation that is associated with a quasilinear Stefan problem with variable surface tension and undercooling.

Thermal-fluid analysis of an RTG-powered ice penetrator for europa subsurface access: CFD modeling with phase-regime analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Europa, Jupiter’s ice-covered moon, harbors a subsurface ocean representing a prime target for astrobiological investigation. This study presents computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a radioisotope-powered thermal ice penetrator (cryobot ...

Cluster Analysis of Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis Practices and Their Impact on Sustainability Performance in the Plastics Industry

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how plastics manufacturing firms can be classified according to their level of implementation of circular economy (CE) and industrial symbiosis (IS) practices and how such adoption influences sustainability performance. Using data from plastics manufacturing firms, we integrate cluster analysis with partial least squares ...

A Stefan problem for composite materials with an arbitrary number of moving phase-transition boundaries

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Физико-математические науки
A Stefan problem of heat transfer in semi-infinite bodies with an arbitrary number of unsteady moving boundaries during phase transitions was solved. Such problems arise when composite materials are heated at high temperatures, causing the binding agents

The Multifaceted Role of Trust in Circular Ecosystems: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular ecosystems connect diverse actors who collaborate to close resource loops and pursue sustainable goals without centralized control. Such arrangements entail heightened interdependence and uncertainty, making trust, understood as the willingness to accept vulnerability based on positive expectations of others' behavior, a critical ...
