The schooling of irregular migrant children in Canada by Passarelli, D

“…Then, arguments put forward by public authorities in Canada for extending or limiting schooling rights are analysed and compared with the dominant normative frameworks in the theoretical literature. This research finds that public authorities at the sub-state level made use of normative arguments that fall outside common theoretical approaches in moral and political theory. …”

Water resources and extreme events in the Awash basin: economic effects and policy implications: report prepared for the Global Green Growth Institute by Smale, R, Walker, O, Vadheim, B, Hope, R, Hope, R, Charles, K, Hall, J, Dadson, S, Borgomeo, E, Kebede, S, Alamirew, T, Bekele, F, Mengistu, A, Beyene, S

Small sample sizes reduce the replicability of task-based fMRI studies by Turner, Benjamin O., Paul, Erick J., Miller, Michael B., Barbey, Aron K.

“…Using large independent samples across eleven tasks, we demonstrate the impact of sample size on replicability, assessed at different levels of analysis relevant to fMRI researchers. We find that the degree of replicability for typical sample sizes is modest and that sample sizes much larger than typical (e.g., N = 100) produce results that fall well short of perfectly replicable. …”

Minimum number of inertial measurement units needed to identify signiicant variations in walk patterns of overweight individuals walking on irregular surfaces by Sikandar, Tasriva, Rabbi, Mohammad Fazle, Kamarul Hawari, Ghazali, Altwijri, Omar, Almijalli, Mohammed, Ahamed, Nizam Uddin

“…Our results revealed two combinations of body locations, including the thigh and shank (i.e., the left and right shank, and the right thigh and right shank), from which IMU data should be collected to accurately classify walking patterns over real-world irregular surfaces (with classification accuracies of 97.24 and 95.87%, respectively). Our findings suggest that the identified numbers and locations of IMUs could potentially reduce the amount of data recorded and processed to develop a fall prevention system for overweight individuals.…”

Postural stability in cyclists by Preece, Mia, Grainger, Karl, Starrs, Paul

“…Conclusion: MTB balance was worse than RC balance, but both cycling groups were found to have better balance scores than the control. These findings have implications for public health, as cycling, an inexpensive and accessible activity already known to offer substantial health benefits, could additionally help maintain postural stability and potentially reduce risk of falls in later life.…”
