Assessing interdisciplinary understanding: Disciplinary crossroads in the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Assessing interdisciplinary learning within school curricula remains a persistent challenge in educational research. Difficulties in articulating shared assessment criteria, alongside differing disciplinary and pedagogical perspectives, have contributed to ongoing uncertainty around how interdisciplinary learning should be evaluated.

Optimization of Straw Particle Size for Enhanced Biogas Production: A Comparative Study of Wheat and Rapeseed Straw

Energies
Biogas production from lignocellulosic biomass, such as wheat and rapeseed straw, is an essential strategy for sustainable energy generation. However, the efficiency of anaerobic digestion depends on the physical characteristics of the substrate ...

Monitoring Injected Drug Use in Greece Through Syringe Residue Analysis: A Multicity Study Within the ESCAPE Network

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A total of 2121 used syringes were analyzed in Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras between 2022 and 2024. Distinct drug‐use patterns were observed across the three cities. Benzodiazepines, pregabalin, methadone, and fentanyl were increasingly detected in 2024.

Uniaxial compressive strength prediction and ratio parameter optimization of titanium tailings composite backfill materials using intelligent hybrid models

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the 90 datasets, ERT and four optimization algorithms were used to build four hybrid models to predict the UCS of the backfill body. The SMA‐ERT model was the most effective model, and it can reliably guide the design of the backfill ratio parameters. Abstract This study analyzed the feasibility of using titanium (Ti) tailings as a backfilling

Effect of Sequential and Combined Space‐Based Stressors on Perovskite Solar Cell Stability

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A correlation between loss in performance and mobile ion concentration has been established by sequential stressing of perovskite solar cells under Low Earth Orbit conditions with exposure to protons, light, and thermal cycling. It is shown that the loss in performance increases when ion concentration increases and vice versa.

Effects of Straw Biological Reactor with Maize Straw on the Growth Environment, Yield and Quality of Watermelon in Shed Planting

International Journal of Ecology, 2017
随着我国农业的发展，每年会产出大量农作物秸秆。作物秸秆是有用的生物资源，如何利用好这类宝贵的生物资源，而不是简单作为废弃物处理，是我国乃至世界面临的重要课题。秸秆生物反应堆是一种将秸秆有效还田以促进作物生长的新技术。本文以玉米秸秆为材料，研究了内置式秸秆生物反应堆对大棚西瓜生长环境、西瓜产量及品质的影响。结果表明，玉米秸秆生物反应堆使土壤有机质含量提高了3.88%~23.65%，土壤容重和含盐量分别下降了11.07%和17.65%。秸秆反应堆使土壤温度提高了1.4℃~6.0℃，平均提高3.7℃。大棚空气CO2浓度上升了52.19%~233.96%，平均上升137.30%。西瓜产量提高了61.65%，含糖量提高了25.10%。这些研究结果说明，内置式玉米秸秆生物反应堆可以显著改善西瓜的生长环境 ...

Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Bridging Policy Gaps in Transition Times: How Local Actors Navigate Low Policy Coherence for Advancing a Circular Built Environment

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The construction sector is a major contributor to the climate crisis, accounting for over one‐third of global energy‐related CO2 emissions. In response, the European Commission identified the circular economy as a means of achieving green growth and prioritized the construction sector in its Circular Economy Action Plan.

Production of bioethanol from residual barley and utilization of fermentation co‐products in animal nutrition

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for sustainable alternatives for bioethanol production has encouraged the valorization of agro‐industrial residues. This study evaluated the use of residual barley as a feedstock for bioethanol production and as a potential ingredient for ruminant feed.
