Seven children inequality and Britain’s next generation by Dorling, D

“…Danny Dorling’s highly original book constructs seven ‘average’ children from millions of statistics—each child symbolising the very middle of a parental income bracket, from the poorest to the wealthiest. Dorling’s seven were born in 2018, when the UK faced its worst inequality since the Great Depression and became Europe’s most socially divided nation. …”

Post-truth blame games in public diplomacy and media by Raspopina, Aleksandra

“…This chapter examines blame attribution mechanisms and themes in Russian public diplomacy through media by looking at the coverage by the Russian state-funded international broadcaster RT (formerly Russia Today) of the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine in 2014 and the chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma in 2018. By focusing on these events, this chapter takes a new look at the role of crises in blame attribution and avoidance, looking at the international rather than the domestic level. …”

Structural and electronic features enabling delocalized charge-carriers in CuSbSe 2 by Fu, Y, Lohan, H, Righetto, M, Huang, Y, Kavanagh, SR, Cho, C, Zelewski, SJ, Woo, YW, Demetriou, H, McLachlan, MA, Heutz, S, Piot, BA, Scanlon, DO, Rao, A, Herz, LM, Walsh, A, Hoye, RLZ

“…Using a combination of theory and experiment, the critical enabling factors are found to be: 1) having a layered structure, which allows distortions to the unit cell during the propagation of an acoustic wave to be relaxed in the interlayer gaps, with minimal changes in bond length, thus limiting deformation potentials; 2) favourable quasi-bonding interactions across the interlayer gap giving rise to higher electronic dimensionality; 3) Born effective charges not being anomalously high, which, combined with the small bandgap (≤1.2 eV), result in a low ionic contribution to the dielectric constant compared to the electronic contribution, thus reducing the strength of Fröhlich coupling. …”

Active Learning Strategies in Engineering Science: The Right Way to Teach Physics for Management Students (S/O 13010) by Nordin, Norani, Mohammed Kamaruddeen, Ahmed, Yekinni Kolawole, Sanusi

“…Physics is always perceived by students as a difficult, dull, and abstract subject with little connection to the real world, despite the fact that technologies are born from the physics of our daily lives. The traditional way of teaching physics and technology is based on teacher-centred of learning, where the teacher talks about a given theory and students are supposed to solve several problems based on this theory. …”
