National and International Monitoring of Student Literacy and Numeracy Attainment: The Case for Rigorous Macro and Micro Analysis

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In her 2024 paper Are Australian students' academic skills declining? Interrogating 25 years of national and international standardised assessment data, Larsen compiled an impressive summary of major international (PISA, PIRLS and TIMSS) and national (NAPLAN) standardised assessments pertaining to literacy and numeracy.

Hidden in the Labour Market: An Intersectional Latent Class Analysis of Discouraged Workers in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study employs an intersectionality‐informed latent class analysis (LCA) to examine the hidden diversity of discouraged workers in Australia. Drawing on nationally representative data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, we identified six empirically distinct subgroups defined by intersecting demographic and ...

Nothing to See Here: Researching Non‐Recent Child Abuse in Schools and the Politics of Silence

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While institutions, including schools, have responsibilities to protect children from harm, responses to instances of child sexual abuse have often exhibited avoidance and denial. Recent public inquiries in Australia revealed that some institutions, particularly in the Catholic sector, employed a deliberate strategy of silence which was used ...

Investigating food production‐associated DNA methylation changes in paleogenomes: Lack of consistent signals beyond technical noise

Evolutionary Applications
The Neolithic transition introduced major diet and lifestyle changes to human populations across continents. Beyond well‐documented bioarcheological and genetic effects, whether these changes also had molecular‐level epigenetic repercussions in past ...

Thermal Black‐Infused Polyurethane Rigid Foams: Novel Formulations Toward Higher‐Performance and More Sustainable Insulation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Thermal black improves polyurethane foam structure and stability. It helps the foam rise smoothly while promoting the formation of smaller, more uniform cells. The foam keeps its strength and insulation performance while reducing shrinkage. Its clean production and easy processing make it a sustainable, cost‐effective option for high‐performance ...

Identification of microbial pathogens in Neolithic Scandinavian humans

Scientific Reports
With the Neolithic transition, human lifestyle shifted from hunting and gathering to farming. This change altered subsistence patterns, cultural expression, and population structures as shown by the archaeological/zooarchaeological record, as well as by ...

Accelerating Sustainable Epoxy Resin Development Through Bayesian Optimization and Inverse Design

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Development of a machine learning framework for the optimization of the Tg of partially bio‐based epoxy resin formulations in a 13‐component design space using Bayesian optimization, active learning, random design, and inverse design. The results show that the BO effectively navigates high‐dimensional formulation spaces, and the final ML model could ...

Compositional Time–Temperature–Transformation and Post‐Processing Window Mapping of Epoxy Nanocomposites via Machine Learning

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Discrete DSC and rheological data are transformed into continuous compositional Time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagrams through physics‐informed Gaussian Process Regression. The proposed framework quantitatively predicts post‐gel processing windows across temperature and nanofiller composition, providing a practical route for accelerated design ...

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.
