Between public service and market: Portraying the bifront university in a platformized world

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper contributes to the international debate on the changes affecting recruitment and orientation processes toward higher education. Based on qualitative research involving 19 Italian public universities, the study analyses the transformations in communication, recruitment and orientation activities within platformization and increasing ...

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Late-T And Y Dwarf Parallaxes From The Spitzer Space Telescope

, 2017
Y dwarfs provide a unique opportunity to study free-floating, planetary-mass objects with atmospheric temperatures approaching those of known Jupiter-like exoplanets. Obtaining distances to these objects is an essential step in determining absolute physical parameters such as mass, age, and metallicity.

Goal Displacement and Goal Conflicts in Circular Innovation Initiatives: Types and Mitigation Practices

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms set ambitious sustainability goals but these are frequently “displaced” by proxy goals that are easier to track and measure. However, the specific types of goal conflicts that follow from this displacement are poorly understood. We conducted a case study of circular innovation initiatives at a global MedTech company and identified ...

Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Nox: A Hypothetical Y-type Brown Dwarf-Companion to the Sun

Recent astronomical discoveries have revealed methane emissions on cold brown dwarfs, highlighting similarities in atmospheric chemistry between these substellar objects and gas giant planets. These findings challenge traditional theories of star formation and push the boundaries of what constitutes stellar mass.
