Culturally Safe Assistive Technology Provision in Australia: Concept Mapping Perspectives From Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disparities in Assistive Technology (AT) access exist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples despite recent policy reforms. This paper brings together First Nations and Western academic ways of being, knowing and doing to deliver an AT practice analysis based upon primary data from two research reports into the cultural safety of AT

Finite-Time Synchronization of Uncertain Fractional-Order Quaternion-Valued Neural Networks with Discontinuous Activation Function

open access: yesFractal and Fractional
This study explores finite-time synchronization (FTS) in fractional-order quaternion-valued neural networks (FQVNNs) characterized by discontinuous activation functions and uncertainties in parameters.

Understanding Oxide Surface Stability: Theoretical Insights From Silver Chromate

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Seven low‐index Miller surfaces, comprising 46 distinct terminations, were systematically investigated to determine their surface free energies as functions of the chemical potentials of the system constituents. The competition among these terminations gives rise to temperature‐dependent stability crossovers that dynamically reshape the surface energy ...

Landau-type inequalities and -bounded solutions of neutral delay systems

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 1999
In Section 1 relations between various forms of Landau inequalities and Halperin–Pitt inequalities are discussed, for arbitrary norms, intervals and Banach-space-valued . In Section 2 such inequalities are derived for weighted -norms, Stepanoff-

Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

Technology‐enhanced learning in higher education institutions: Exploring the lived experiences of students with specific learning differences and their lecturers

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper challenges the prevailing assumption that technology‐enhanced learning (TEL) inherently benefits all students in higher education, examining how undergraduate students with specific learning differences (SpLDs) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) use technology for learning.

‘It's all very well having a diverse curriculum, but if there is no curriculum, it can be as diverse as you like’: Precarity and decolonising in the neoliberal UK higher education system

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing upon interview research across two academic departments as part of the early stages of a ‘decolonise the curriculum’ initiative at a Southern UK university, this study highlights a growing gulf between policy and practice in efforts to address systemic racial inequalities in UK universities. A reliance upon precarious labour, a culture

Contrasting roles of school and public libraries in lower primary pupils' reading

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Libraries represent an important institutional component of children's reading socialisation, yet their role is often treated as uniform despite substantial differences between school and public libraries. This study examines how visits to school and public libraries relate to pupils' reading attitudes, practices and self‐assessed reading ...

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
