Shifting Child Protection Assessments From a Deficit Focus to Assessments Informed by Strengths and Protective Factors: Translating Research Knowledge to Practice

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Child protection systems play a critical role in preventing and responding to child maltreatment, yet practices are often predominantly deficit focused. This paper presents a rapid literature review on the strengths, protective factors, and cultural considerations to inform child protection assessment.

Evaluation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sludge Characteristics in Typical AAO Process WWTPs in Taihu Lake Basin, China

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated sludge characteristics and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from 16 anaerobic‐anoxic‐oxic (AAO) process wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), 11 municipal and 5 industrial WWTPs, located in the Taihu Lake Basin, China. Influent/effluent water quality, sludge properties, operational parameters, GHG emission patterns, and ...

Sustainable Manufacturing Platforms for Closed‐Cycle Bioeconomy Applications

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular bioeconomy requires innovative production platforms that prioritize sustainability, resource efficiency, and waste minimization. Organic waste from agriculture, aquaculture, and food production represents an underutilized feedstock for biomanufacturing, contributing to a circular economy.

Multidimensional interactive pathways of adaptive capacity to extreme rainfall: Insights from Xiamen

Climate Risk Management
Enhancing the urban adaptive capacity (UAC) is crucial for mitigating the risks posed by extreme climate hazards. While UAC components are often evaluated independently, their interactions remain underexplored.

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Effects of predatory mite biocontrols on the dispersal of antibiotic resistomes and virulence factors in tea garden soils

Microbiome
Background Biocontrols can be used to manage pests while supporting soil health. However, the effects of the biocontrols such as predatory mites on antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities remains largely unknown.

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...
