Adaptive Spaces and Rural Futures: Climate Change, Agrarian Dynamics, and Knowledge Politics in Southeast Asian Socioecological Transformations

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary rural change in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex, intersecting forces that defy simplistic narratives. Researchers must therefore develop new ways to grasp nuanced, non‐linear, and locally specific processes to understand how transformational shifts may occur (or not) in the region.

Behaviour Support in Dentistry Core Outcomes (BeSiDe‐CO): A Core Outcome Set Development Study

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To develop a Core Outcome Set suitable for adults and children for use in studies of Dental Behaviour Support (DBS) techniques, including non‐pharmacological DBS, sedation and General Anaesthesia research. Methods Two systematic reviews generated a preliminary list of candidate outcomes that were shared with Key Stakeholders (KSG ...

On 2-Adic Orders of Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind

, 2005
We prove that for any k = 1,... , 2n the 2-adic order of the Stirling number S(2n, k) of the second kind is exactly d(k) − 1, where d(k) denotes the number of 1’s among the binary digits of k. This confirms a conjecture of Lengyel.

Embodied practice in a disembodied time: How the COVID‐19 pandemic shaped direct work with children and young people

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic and related restrictions imposed in the UK had a significant impact on social work practice with children and young people. As has been widely reported, practitioners were deprived of multisensory information in their assessments and of opportunities to connect with children.

Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Probabilistic degenerate logarithm and heterogeneous Stirling numbers

Kuwait Journal of Science
Let 𝑌 be a random variable whose moment-generating function exists in some neighborhood of the origin. While probabilistic Stirling numbers of the first and second kind have been introduced, early definitions often failed to satisfy fundamental ...

The Lucas congruence for Stirling numbers of the second kind [PDF]

, 2000
0. Introduction. The numbers introduced by Stirling in 1730 in his Methodus differentialis [11], subsequently called "Stirling numbers" of the first and second kind, are of the greatest utility in the calculus of finite differences, in number theory, in ...

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

The impact of the Daily Mile on Primary School Children [PDF]

, 2019
The Daily Mile is a physical activity programme through which primary-aged children run or walk for 15 minutes every day, at a self-selected pace. First developed at St Ninians Primary, Stirling, in 2012, the initiative has grown in popularity nationally
