Exploring interactions of the dimensions of agency through the experiences of aspiring school leaders in Scotland, UK

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Agency has increasingly become a central concept in educational leadership research, yet its application to those preparing to enter school leadership roles remains underexplored. Drawing on the conceptual framework of the ecological approach to teacher agency, we explored how and in what ways aspiring school leaders in Scotland (n = 21 ...

Sum rules for permutations with fixed points involving Stirling numbers of the first kind

Indonesian Journal of Combinatorics
We propose sum rules for permutations pn(k) of the ensemble {1,2,...,n} with k fixed points, in the form of partial sums of their moments. The corresponding identities involve Stirling numbers of the first kind s(q,r).

Generalized Binomial Convolution of the mth Powers of the Consecutive Integers with the General Fibonacci Sequence

Demonstratio Mathematica, 2016
In this paper, we consider Gauthier’s generalized convolution and then define its binomial analogue as well as alternating binomial analogue. We formulate these convolutions and give some applications of them.

Looking for hopeful purpose in England's environmental education policy: An analysis of the National Education Nature Park

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation represent profound global challenges. Education holds a unique role in enabling all young people to navigate uncertainty, participate meaningfully in decision‐making and contribute to more just and sustainable ways of living.

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Paying for Privilege: How Political Contributions Undermine Environmental Sustainability—And How Executive Contracting Can Restore Balance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are interested in investigating whether firms use political donations as a license to neglect environmental sustainability. We further deepen the examination by exploring the role of executive contracting. Drawing on a wide range of data between 2002 and 2021 and a global sample, our findings confirm that firms use political contributions ...

On the 2-adic order of Stirling numbers of the second kind and their differences [PDF]

Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2009
Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers, $d(k)$ and $\nu_2(k)$ denote the number of ones in the binary representation of $k$ and the highest power of two dividing $k$, respectively.

On the asymptotic normality of the Legendre–Stirling numbers of the second kind

European Journal of Combinatorics, 2015
For the Legendre-Stirling numbers of the second kind asymptotic formulae are derived in terms of a local central limit theorem. Thereby, supplements of the recently published asymptotic analysis of the Chebyshev-Stirling numbers are established. Moreover, we provide results on the asymptotic normality and unimodality for modified Legendre-Stirling ...
