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.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Agritourism: A Multilevel Causal Mechanism Analysis and the Facilitating Roles of Social Capital

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the causal mechanisms by which responsible leadership (RL) promotes sustainable agritourism development in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Using focus groups and multiple case studies across five exemplary agritourism operations, we examine how RL operates across multiple levels to influence sustainable agritourism outcomes.

Single‐Screw Extrusion of Copra Meal and Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles at Varying Screw Speed and Moisture Content for Aquaculture Feed Applications

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Copra meal is a byproduct of the coconut oil extraction process and provides an inexpensive source of energy for livestock diets. Single‐screw extrusion was conducted to investigate the effects of varying proportions of copra meal and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and the corresponding processing ...

New Insights Into the Three‐Dimensional Mechanics of the Flagellar Beat Cycle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in imaging at the molecular scale have provided greater detail concerning the three‐dimensional structure of the ciliary/flagellar axoneme. Additionally, it has recently been confirmed that electrostatic forces regulate the dynein‐tubulin interaction at the microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of dynein, and at the junction of the nexin ...
