Tehnična in estetska življenjska doba lesa

Acta Silvae et Ligni, 2020
In outdoor applications wood is exposed to biotic and abiotic degradation factors. These processes are essential for carbon circulation. However, if wood is used in commercial applications, these processes need to be slowed down as much as possible. When

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

More‐than‐gender? Moving beyond gendered expectations of divergent learners in early childhood education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

Revisiting the Carbon Footprint of Single‐Use Technologies in Biomanufacturing: A Bottom‐Up Analysis Reveals a Paradigm Shift

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biopharmaceutical industry increasingly relies on single‐use technologies (SUT) for operational flexibility. For a long time, SUT was considered more sustainable than stainless‐steel (SST) systems due to water and energy savings. This study re‐evaluates this paradigm via a detailed bottom‐up analysis of the SUT carbon footprint at the 2000
