Teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards feedback: Contradictions and development trends by A. A. Azbel, L. S. Ilyushin, E. I. Kazakova, P. A. Morozova

“…Other external circumstances hindering the development of qualitative feedback practices include, in the opinion of teachers, the dominance of the point system of assessment in school; organisational and bureaucratic costs that limit the teacher’s search in the field of feedback methods; parents’ attitude towards formal (marking) results; the inability of students to objectively perceive feedback other than formal assessment.The results of the study demonstrate that teachers, on the whole, give a low rating to the readiness of school children to work with detailed feedback and to request it, linking this with the lack of formation of emotional, cognitive and communication skills in their students that they need to request, perceive and interpret full feedback.Scientific novelty. …”

Characterization of Chlorine Fixation in Alkaline Metal-Modified Cu-Based Oxygen Carriers for Biomass Chemical Looping Combustion by Dezhe WANG, Yingjie MI, Haodong HUANG, Andong FU, Jinchen MA, Haibo ZHAO

“…Both Ca- and Ba-based oxygen carriers maintained 100% chlorine fixation efficiency, suggesting that lower oxygen-fuel ratios could be utilized in biomass dechlorination processes, thereby reducing carbon capture operating costs. Moreover, doping with Ca and Ba increased the specific surface area and pore volume of the oxygen carriers, increasing the contact area with biomass and thereby stabilizing their performance in CLC. …”
