Inclusive educational process at the university: Theoretical and experimental model of teachers' psychological readiness by V. Z. Kantor, Yu. L. Proekt

“…It was found that, to the greatest extent, university teachers have formed a motivational readiness to implement inclusive education, but they experience a deficit of operational skills, when working with students with disabilities. At the same time, the level of psychological readiness to implement an inclusive educational process significantly differs depending on the subject specialisation of teachers and the presence / absence of previous experience of interaction with people with disabilities. …”

Review and syntheses: Ocean alkalinity enhancement and carbon dioxide removal through marine enhanced rock weathering using olivine by L. J. J. Geerts, A. Hylén, F. J. R. Meysman, F. J. R. Meysman

“…To more confidently assess the potential and impact of olivine-based mERW, dedicated pilot studies under field conditions are needed, which should be conducted at a sufficiently large spatial scale and monitored for a long enough time with sufficient temporal resolution. Additionally, our analysis indicates that the specific sediment type of the application site (e.g., cohesive versus permeable) will be a critical factor for olivine-based mERW applications, as it will significantly impact the dissolution rate by influencing the ambient pore-water pH, saturation dynamics, and natural alkalinity generation. …”
