In the cafeteria and schoolyard, by lockers watiing for class, identies of middle-school youth are reflected in their constant exchange gossip, insults, teasing. Donna Eder, Catherine Evans, Stephen Parker spent three years a midwestern middle school listening to what these eleven- fourteen-year-olds had say each other. Their book provides an insightful look into language culture today's adolescents. Winner North Central Sociological Association's 1996 Scholarly Achievement Award
Student transition into higher education has increased in importance recent times, with the growing trend Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development nations towards universal provision concomitant widening of participation to include previously under-represented groups. However, ‘transition’ as a concept is largely employed uncritically field. In making these assumptions explicit, this article argues that there are three distinct accounts research literature, which inevitably lead...
Considerable attention has been given to the cultural reproduction of social-class differences in educational settings, but much less processes by which gender are produced and reproduced. The few studies that have examined socialization schools focused primarily on role textbooks formal instruction promotion traditional roles. Since most middle high also sponsor extracurricular activities, it is important determine these activities play values behavior. In this paper, we examine effect...
We report herein the development of a highly robust, quantitative, sensitive, and naked eye colorimetric detection method for different isomers aromatic compounds using β-CD-modified silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) probes. This assay relies on distance-dependent optical properties Ag nanoparticles inclusion binding strength guests to β-CD host. In presence compounds, AgNPs could be rapidly induced aggregate, thereby resulting in apricot-to-red color change. The variety concentration determined...
Herein, we report a facile fabrication of polymer (azobenzene and α-cyclodextrin-functionalized hyaluronic acid) gold nanobipyramids (AuNBs) conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) to be used as an injectable drug delivery system for sustained cancer treatment. Because the specific affinity between acid (HA) on MSNs CD44 antigen overexpressed tumor cells, can selectively attach cells. The nanocomposite material then exploits thermoresponsive interactions α-cyclodextrin azobenzene,...
This paper reports on a recent study of aspirations for higher education by secondary school students from disadvantaged backgrounds in regional Australia. At the same time, it goes search explanations that transcend Bourdieuian account as produced and reproductive cultural histories dominance, given apparent inadequacy these accounts redressing disadvantage. To this end authors distinguish between historicising spatialising aspirations, taking up Appadurai’s notion navigational capacity way...
Aspiration for higher education (HE) is no longer a matter solely students and their families. With OECD nations seeking to position themselves more competitively in the global knowledge economy, need workers has led plans expand HE systems near universal levels. In Australia, this required government institutions enlist who traditionally have not seen university as contributing imagined desired futures. However, paper suggests that failing appreciate aspirations of different groups,...
Herein, we demonstrate the use of modified gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles as ‘dispersible electrodes’ which act selective capture vehicles for electrochemical detection prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A key advantage this system is ability to quantify non-electrochemical active analytes such proteins with unprecedented limits and fast response times.
Abstract For many normal and aberrant cell behaviours, it is important to understand the origin of cellular heterogeneity. Although powerful methods for studying heterogeneity have emerged, they are more suitable common rather than rare cells. Exploring single cells challenging because these must be first pre-concentrated undergo analysis prior classification expansion. Here, a versatile capture & release platform consisting an antibody-modified electrochemically cleavable semiconducting...
With particular reference to religious education, this article provides an account of the campaigns Secularists and Humanists in England 1960s 1970s locates them within their broader context. These campaigns, which have been both underplayed overstated existing historiography, failed garner levels support required fulfil ultimate aims. Nevertheless, did make a significant contribution public political discourses at time created opportunities with potential exert influence over development...
This article explores the issue of social mobility in relation to recent expansion higher vocational education (HIVE) by non-university providers. The post-school sector has become object policies widen access ensure greater and provide second chance those who do not complete initial Anglophone countries. Drawing on typologies training systems, generates understanding HIVE within two countries (Australia England). considers implications for widening opportunities non-traditional students...
In the global phenomenon of widening participation policy in higher education, lower retention rates for students from less advantaged socio-economic circumstances have potential to undermine social inclusion agenda HE. This might be an issue Europe but is not necessarily case elsewhere. this paper we consider statistical data on Australian university under-represented groups, retained at similar those their more peers. Our also include print and online media commentary student retention....
Controlling the composition of an interface is very important in tuning chemical and physical properties a surface many applications including biosensors, biomaterials, catalysis. Frequently, this requires one molecular component to minor mixed layer. Such subtle control has been difficult achieve using aryldiazonium salts. Herein, salts carboxyphenyl (CP) phenylphosphorylcholine (PPC), generated situ from their corresponding anilines, are electrografted form platform that available for...
