Do Single‐Sex STEM Programs Have Merit? If So, for Whom, on What Measures?
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Single‐sex STEM programs—defined here as voluntary, gender‐segregated extracurricular or supplemental activities (e.g., summer camps, workshops, robotics clubs, internships, or citizen science initiatives)—have experienced heightened popularity and scrutiny amid efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The discourse on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies is growing, yet its ability to meaningfully advance health and social wellbeing (H&SW) in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 3) remains under‐examined. Existing studies assume that ESG automatically strengthens SDG 3 outcomes, yet how the Governance

Five New Sirius-like White Dwarf–Main-sequence Star Systems with MagAO-X
The Astronomical JournalMost known white dwarfs in multiple systems with main-sequence stars have been discovered with M-type companions, because the white dwarf causes detectable UV excess and bluer colors than expected from a single M star.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

White Dwarfs in Wide Binaries: The Strong Effects of Stellar Evolution and Mass Loss
The Astrophysical JournalWe examine the statistics of main-sequence/main-sequence, main-sequence/white-dwarf, and white-dwarf/white-dwarf wide binaries at 10 ^2.5 –10 ^4 au separations in Gaia data.

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

It's Not You, It's the System: Women Professors in TESOL and the Persistence of Gender Bias
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Although progress has been made with respect to the role and position of women in academia, overt and covert discrimination as well as structural and systemic bias persist. In this article, we report on research conducted with 14 women professors from 10 different countries to explore to what extent these issues affect women professors in ...

Stellar Cycle and Evolution of Polar Spots in an M+WD Binary
The Astrophysical JournalStellar activity cycles reveal continuous relaxation and induction of magnetic fields. The activity cycle is typically traced through the observation of cyclic variations in total brightness or Ca H&K emission flux of stars, as well as cyclic variations ...
