applied stereotypes social networks and selffulfilling prophecies how stereotypes reinforce social inequalities

social inequalities are reinforced within the education system stereotypes may have a major role in this since they may lead to differential treatment of minority students resulting in selffulfilling prophecies that hinder their academic outcomes beyond the obvious role of teachers that of peers is also crucial as they are important parts of students socialisation how they are perceived by peers could affect their motivation interests achievements and relationships however it is not clear how much students apply stereotypes to their peers given the wealth of individuating information they have about themthis project introduces the new concept of applied stereotypes this expresses how an individual perceives another along stereotyperelated dimensions such as warmth and competence i propose that applied stereotypes develop jointly with peer networks of school communities for example the application of stereotypes could be mitigated by friendships judging ones friends more positively or by accepting the established personal reputation of specific peers as warm or competent instead of judging them based on stereotypes such peerbased processes of stereotype application combined with the effect of applied stereotypes on outcomes are crucial to understand as students educational trajectories emerge gradually in school surrounded by peers the project investigates social mechanisms that explain the dynamic interplay between stereotypes applied stereotypes and outcomes as there is no established way to measure applied stereotypes i develop a novel dyadic measure that captures who perceives whom in what way and collect detailed data in ten english secondary schools i conduct empirical analyses by using and extending cuttingedge methods of social network analysis by taking a sofar neglected level of applied stereotypes into account this project has the potential for a groundbreaking impact on the study of social inequalities
integrated analysis of air pollution human health and income inequality for alternative climate change scenarios

air pollution is the fourth global risk for human health causing up to 68 million deaths annually worldwide the main anthropogenic driver of air pollution is fossil fuel combustion which is also the main source of greenhouse gas emissions therefore the implementation of alternative longterm mitigation strategies aligned with the paris agreement the european green deal or the promotion of the sustainable development goals will have direct implications for human health attributable to air pollution while different studies have estimated health impacts attributable to longterm exposure to ambient air pollution these have focused on the region level and do not incorporate population heterogeneity considerations eg income groups furthermore household air pollution is normally ignored in global scenario analysis in this framework the aim of the graphics project is to include population heterogeneity in the analysis of health impacts attributable to ambient and household air pollution first graphics will explore which is the current and future contribution of different population groups to air pollution for alternative scenarios at regional level then the project will estimate the health impacts attributable to air pollution for the different groups in a business as usual scenario and how they benefit from the implementation of alternative scenarios codesigned with multilevel stakeholders that represent different socioeconomic narratives policies to reduce income inequality air pollution control policies or deep decarbonization strategies for that purpose graphics will apply a unique opensource integrated methodology that subsequently links an enhanced integrated assessment model with air quality tools developed during the project graphics will make me grow professionally and achieve the next step in my research career and it will open avenues for future research that will also benefit the hosting and collaborating institutions

the uncharted margins of philosophy an aienhanced material history of arabic logic across time 12th19th c and frontiers from spain to india

contrary to the popular belief that philosophy in arabic declined around the 12th century it has actually thrived in forms that are largely unexplored arabic philosophical manuscripts present a wealth of textual and visual annotations by students teachers and individual scholars who have kept selecting manually copying teaching and studying philosophical texts until the 19th century well after the printing revolution the margins of manuscripts served across the araboislamic world as material platforms akin to todays academic journals for this choral philosophical enterprisewith a few notable exceptions this reallife philosophy is cut out of historicophilosophical accounts in which the spotlight is often on a selection of great minds the views shared by professors students and scholars have hitherto remained on the uncharted margins of manuscripts and on the fringe of the global history of philosophythe uncharted margins of philosophy unmap aims to bring those contributions from the margins of manuscripts into the forefront of philosophical discourseby delving into the paratextual annotations within 207 manuscripts of the logic of avicennas d 1037 book of healing spanning seven centuries and three continents unmap promises to broaden the horizons of the global history of philosophy it will 1 shed new light on the uncharted routes of cultural transfer in the premodern globalising world 2 provide a generalisable model of research on neglected sources for the history of philosophy 3 challenge the paradigm of knowledge as the product of a few soloists and their intellectual hegemony by bringing to light marginalised traditions from the pastwith innovative techniques including aidriven handwriting analysis on manuscripts with convolutional neural networks this project pioneers a new material history of philosophy bridging the gap between material philology philosophy history and digital humanities

challenging the fundamental limit of angular dispersion by hybridizing light and matter

interference is one of the most fundamental phenomena in optics allowing us to confine filter manipulate and steer light with exquisite precision it is at the core of thinfilm optics and nanophotonics two areas of science that catalyse major scientific and industrial advances one fundamental property of optical interference however constitutes a major limitation the characteristics of any interferencebased structure depend on the angle between the light wave and the structure itself eg the transmission wavelength of optical interference filters shifts strongly when the angle of incidence changes so far this angular dispersion effect remains a largely unchallenged fundamental limit in optics hyangle now proposes a novel strategy based on hybridizing light and matter states to break the angular dispersion limit by tuning the coupling strength and offset between a photonic resonance formed by optical interference and the electronic resonance causing optical absorption in a material i expect to be able to realize interferencebased optical devices with spectrally sharp and angleindependent transmission reflection and emission we will explore the physics potential and limitations of this approach by developing and studying dispersionfree optical filters colour converters and leds with narrowband spectra we will then pursue two specific applications namely hyperspectral cameras and bioimplantable lensless fluorescence microscopes where our devices will enable major advances in capability and unprecedented performance in deep tissue applicationsour devices use organic materials that can be readily processed by highthroughput vacuum deposition and even from solution the amorphous nature of these materials renders them intrinsically compatible with the dielectric and metallic films widely used in the optics and display industry the strategy of hyangle thus bears great potential for rapid development and broad application
