The Centenary of William H. Kilpatrick’s “Project Method“: A Landmark in Progressive Education Against the Background of American-German Relations After World War I
Authors: Retter Hein
Published: June 2021

In 1935 a book was published in Germany with essays by John Dewey, the most famous American philosopher, and his equally internationally-renowned pupil, William H. Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick’s essay, “The Project Method”, published in 1918 (September), had triggered a storm of enthusiasm in the USA to convert the curriculum of public schools to the project method, which, however, in principle, had been used decades earlier in manual training schools. The article is the starting point of a larger investigation which shows how Kilpatrick’s Project Method came to Germany when its popularity had already evaporated and criticism dominated. This attempt at historical construction is based on previously unpublished letters by Kilpatrick 1931-34. To do this, we must describe the contemporary background, in particular the relations between American and German specialists in education, which were institutionally fostered by the Teachers College of Columbia University, New York City, and the Zentralinstitut für Erziehung und Unterricht (Central Institute for Education and Teaching), in Berlin. Both institutions were engaged in an exchange of educational experience through study trips until 1932. The different attitude and the ambivalence of Kilpatrick and Dewey with regard to the race question in the USA will also be mentioned. Claims of the more recent German Dewey reception that there was no interest in Dewey, Kilpatrick and American education in Germany between 1918-1932 are given critical examination.
After the German November Revolution 1918: The Compromise on Religious Instruction in Elementary Schools in the Weimar Constitution
Authors: Retter Hein
Published: June 2021

A tiny section on the agenda of the National Assembly of the Weimar Republic from February to July, 1919 was entitled ‟Religious instruction and the public elementary school”, part of the preparation for the new Constitution of the German Reich, the so-called Weimar Constitution [Weimarer Reichsverfassung; abbr. WRV], of August 11th, 1919. The three democratic parties, the moderate-socialist SPD, the Catholic Zentrum Party and the liberal-democrat DDP, were the political mainstays of the Weimar Republic, which existed from 1919 to 1933. But these three parties had absolutely different ideologies concerning the role of religion in public education, especially in the elementary school (Volksschule), the lower school system. While the topic ‘religion and school’ in the Weimar Constitution has been often presented from a politically leftish point of view in the past, here, following the principle of a plurality of historical perspectives, the interests of the Catholic Zentrum Party will be more strongly focussed upon. I would like to also show how difficult the circumstances were that eventually led to an agreement regarding the school articles of the Weimar Constitution. Article 146(1) WRV required a national school act which was to be the framework for further educational laws of the ‘Länder’ (states). All political attempts failed to produce such a national law (Reichsschulgesetz) during the era of the Weimar Republic (in the interest of standardization of state education) because of different policies in the ‘Reich’ and the ‘Länder’ (which were responsible for school education and its legal basis). Just like the parties’ differences in school policy could not be bridged in the years after establishing the Constitution of 1919.

Preservice Teacher Experience with Technology Integration: How the Preservice Teacher’s Efficacy in Technology Integration is Impacted by the Context of the Preservice Teacher Education Program
Authors: Ebersole Liz
Published: June 2021

This paper explores self-efficacy theory (Bandura), situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger), and self-determination theory (Ryan and Deci), the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework (TPCK or TPACK; Mishra & Koehler) and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards (for Educators) as they relate to the preservice teacher education program, including both coursework and field experience. Regarding teacher education program coursework, this paper examines research studies that report on findings from both quantitative and qualitative research about preservice teachers’ experience with technology integration in the context of the teacher education program, in which the TPACK framework or ISTE Standards were used in the curricular design of the program’s academic coursework. Regarding teacher education program field experience, this paper examines the context provided by the mentor teachers’ self-efficacy regarding and use of technology.
Does Metacognitive Reflection Benefit Art Students?
Authors: Howe Eric E.
Published: June 2021

The study of art, especially perspective, involves the use of specialized vocabulary words which can be difficult to learn. Metacognitive reflection (MR) offers a method to improve student learning of academic language. Teacher feedback on students’ reflections provides additional benefits. This quasi-experimental study measured the influence of MR and teacher feedback on students’ ability to learn and retain academic language. This study was conducted three separate times, to improve validity. While the MR treatment groups attained and maintained greater mean gains overall, post-hoc tests revealed that differences between groups in two of three studies were not statistically significant. The groups who engaged in reflection with feedback added a weighted mean gain of d = .37 to their posttest score beyond that of the comparison groups. This finding provides moderate evidence for the efficacy of practicing reflection with feedback.

The Dispute Over the Reform Pedagogue Peter Petersen (1884-1952) in Jena 2010: Review of a "Total Disaster" After Ten Years
Authors: Retter Hein
Published: June 2021

With the reunification of Germany, a Jenaplan School was founded in 1991 in the city of Jena,Thuringia. Since then one place of the city carried Petersen's name. The University School at Jena, refounded by Petersen as Life Community School in 1924 (the traditional purpose as a mere teacher training school goes back to the year 1844) and received international attention during the Weimar Republic. Petersen's attempt to gain recognition in the Hitler state (1933-1945) with his reform pedagogy failed, but the University School was allowed to continue to exist. In 1950 it was closed by the socialist GDR state (East Germany). Ten years ago, a bitter dispute raged in Jena over Petersen because previously unknown racist texts written by him had been discovered. The dispute ended when Petersenplatz was renamed "Jenaplan". A book by Hein Retter, which appeared ten years ago, was highly controversial: it described children of Jewish and socialist origin as well as disabled children - from families who were threatened by Nazi ideology but who saw their children safe with Petersen. Looking back ten years, the author of the controversial book describes the Jena Petersen dispute and what can be learned from it.
Salamanca 25 Years Later: A Commentary on Residual Dialogues of Disability and Diversity
Authors: Winzer Margaret , Mazurek Kas
Published: June 2021

The concepts, premises, and promises of inclusive schooling as a global movement crystallized atUNESCO’s 1994 World Conference on Special Needs Education in Salamanca. Despite their marked influence over the past 25 years, the Salamanca documents also ushered in a set of continuing challenges. Using the documents as a departure point, this paper addresses three main areas: UNESCO’s role in erecting an architecture for inclusive schooling; core issues that arose in the Salamanca documents, particularly relating to contentious debates about the audience for inclusive schooling; and continuing issues in interpreting the Salamanca directions.
Conformist Mass Society or Non-Conformist Rebellion? What education can do to resolve the conformity – non-conformity dichotomy?
Authors: Karikó Sándor
Published: June 2021

The “profane” meaning of conformism is first provided by American philosopher and liberal thinker William Penn, in his work dated from around 1700. According to Penn, conformity is a civil virtue whose price is the loss of freedom. The description of conformity as deprivation of freedom becomes stronger in 20th century philosophy from Heidegger through Fromm up to Fischer’s definition as “the sinking of the Self into the Anyone is conformism.” Education and pedagogy have serious debts as to the recognition of and solutions to the problem of conformity. In the community relations of the students, the principle of the structural regularity of increasing conformity, and in our schools, the easily adapting and more so conforming student have become the ideal. And where is the place, the value of conformity and non-conformity in society? And first of all: what can education do against the deceptive contrast of conformity – non-conformity. That is a matter of great importance.
Mutual Promotion of Reading and Expression: Research into Children’s Picture Book Teaching of I Wanna Iguana
Authors: Xiang Jing , Yan Ying
Published: June 2021

The narrative function of children’s picture books connects the exquisite, meaningful and colorful paintings with easy and imaginative words. A teaching process, which is called the circulation process, happens when teachers and children are reading the pictures and words repeatedly. This process involves four stages: lead-in, telling the story, retelling the story and utilizing the retold story. Teacher may understand children’s knowledge, cognitive features as well as nature of picture books and paintings effectively. Then the vivid illustration of story line encourages children to think from others’ views and communicate with different people in the world. In such a way, we aim to establish a brand new teaching culture consisted of national memory and traditional Chinese culture elements.

Bireysel ve Toplumsal Güvenlik: İletişim Hakkı ve İfade Özgürlüğü
Authors: Şeker Muzaffer
Published: June 2021

Toplumların değişiminde dönemin enstrümanları değişimin öznesidir. Tarım toplumu için saban neyse bilgi toplumunda da bilgiyi yayan teknolojiler ve özellikle ağ teknolojisi aynı işlevi görmüştür. Bilgi, son yüzyılın en önemli enstrümanıdır ve bilgiyi yönetebilenler, küresel kaynaklara erişim ve kullanımda diğerlerine karşı önemli avantajlara sahiptirler. Bu avantajların en başında diğerlerini sürekli gözlemek ve onları yönlendirebilecek veriyi elde tutmak gelmektedir. Bilgi ve bilgi iletişim teknolojilerine yatırım yapanlar, diğer toplumlar üzerinde hegemon güç haline gelmişlerdir. Bilgi, zaman içinde geliştirilen teknolojiler sayesinde bugün akıllı olarak nitelenen yapıya dönüşmüştür. Bilgi toplumundan süper akıllı topluma geçiş de bu gelişmeler neticesinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu değişimde en önemli unsur, internet ve onunla ilgili gelişmelerin bütünüdür. Ağ teknolojisi ve telekomünikasyon sistemlerinin bütününü ifade eden ve günümüze hâkim olan akıllı sistemler konusunda Türkiye önemli atılımları hayata geçirmiş olsa da halen istenilen seviyeye ulaşılamamıştır. Alana ilişkin çalışmaların teşvikine ihtiyaç olmakla birlikte bu değişime ayak uydurmakta belirli değerlerin gözden kaçırılmamasına ihtiyaç olduğu açıktır. En başta bu dönüşüm sürecinde ortaya çıkan sorunların herkes tarafından az çok tecrübe edilmesi sonucu ortaya çıkan sorunların farkındalığı ve alınması gereken önlemlere ihtiyaç vardır. Materyalist Kültür Despotizmi olarak da adlandırılabilecek yeni bir dönem ile birlikte dünyanın bilginin denetimsiz yayılımını deneyimlediği düşünüldüğünde doğruluğu veya yanlışlığı tartışmalı olan her türlü bilgiye ulaşımı kolay olduğu bu süreci sağlıklı yönetmeye gereksinim olduğu açıktır. Ancak mevcut küresel ağ ve uydu teknolojisi bağlamında monopol /tekel yapılar ile devletler açısından bireyi ve toplumu koruma adına denetimin belirli güçlükleri barındırdığı da ortadadır. Doğru bilgi ve bilgi güvenliği için otorite yoksunluğu sonucu tüm kurumların ve bireylerin güvenilirliği sorgulanabilir durumdadır. Bu çerçevede konunun birey ve toplum güvenliği açısından ele alınmasına gerek vardır. Bu makalede teknolojik gelişmeler neticesinde ortaya çıkan bilgi yayılımı bireysel ve toplumsal güvenlik kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Konu, yeni küresel yapı içerisinde kutsallık atfedilen iletişim hakkı ve ifade özgürlüğü çerçevesinde literatür bağlamında irdelenmektedir.

"Yıllardır hakkında konuşulan, ürün ve hizmet üretimi süreçlerine uygulanması için müthiş çaba harcan ‘dijital dönüşüm’, COVID-19 pandemisi nedeniyle baş döndüren bir hızla gerçekleşti. Diğer canlılardan farklı olarak insanlarda bulunan ‘uyum’ kapasitesi bu süreçte etkili oldu. Ancak dijital ortamların, veri güvenliğinde yarattığı zaaftan bireysel ve toplumsal psikolojilere olumsuz etkileri gibi çok ciddi problemleri de beraberinde getirdiği araştırmalarla ortaya konuluyor. Bu olumsuz etkilerle başa çıkabilmek için devreye, hayatta kalmayı sağlayan ‘fiziki bağışıklık’ ve varoluşu sürdürebilmek için gerekli olan ‘ruhi bağışıklık’ benzeri ve bizim ‘sosyal bağışıklık’ olarak adlandırdığımız süreç giriyor. Sosyal bağışıklık için toplumda şu kabiliyetlerin geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir: 1. Türkiye’nin kendi arama motorunu, platformlar arası çalışma özelliğine sahip kendi mesajlaşma ve arama uygulamasını, dijital kaynak eserler yapılanmasını (ansiklopedi vb.) geliştirmediği sürece, dijital güvenlik duvarlarını ve ısı kalkanlarını oluşturamayacağını bilmekte yarar var. 2. Her ne kadar “Evde Kal” kampanyasıyla ekran başında geçen süre olağanüstü bir hızla arttıysa da bunun beden, ruh ve sosyal sağlık üzerindeki etkileriyle ilgili toplumun mutlaka bilgilendirilmesi lazım. 3. İnternet ve teknolojisinin sadece bir iletişim aracı olarak değil, yazılım gücü de geliştirilerek üretimin her alanında verimliliği artırıcı ve insanların bireysel özgürlüklerine zaman bağlamında alan tanıyıcı gelişim doğrultusunda kullanılmasını yönetmeliyiz."

Published: June 2021

"Günümüzde web 2.0 teknolojilerinin getirisi olan sosyal medyanın dünya genelinde yaygın kullanıldığı ve aşırı kullanıldığında problemlere yol açtığı bilinmektedir. Çağın sorunu olarak karşımıza çıkan sosyal medya bağımlılığının kişilerin gerçek yaşamlarındaki tüm alanlarda aksamalara yol açtığı ve tedavi edilmesi gereken bir sorun olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu sebeple sosyal medya bağımlılığına yol açan faktörleri ortaya koymak önem kazanmıştır. Böylece, sosyal medya bağımlılığının biyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal faktörlerden oluşturulmuş biyopsikososyal yaklaşıma göre geniş çapta ele alınması gerekliliği bu araştırmanın yapılmasında etkili olmuştur. Araştırmanın amacı, sosyal medya bağımlılığı belirtileri üzerinde narsisizm, yalnızlık, beğeni arzusu, yapılan işin gereği sosyal medya kullanımı, yaş ve cinsiyet gibi faktörlerin etkisini incelemektir. Toplam 1547 sosyal medya kullanıcısından veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, yalnızlık ve narsisizm konusunda literatürde yer alan başka yazarların geliştirdiği ölçekler kullanılmıştır. Bunun yanında araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan “Bağımlık Belirtileri ve Sosyal Medya Kullanım Ölçeği” doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (CFA) ile test edilmiştir. Ölçeğin uyum iyiliği değerleri kabul edilebilir sınırlar içinde bulunmuştur. Sonrasında oluşturulan hipotezler, yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, yalnızlık, narsisizm, beğeni arzusu çoğaldıkça sosyal medya bağımlılığı belirtilerinin de arttığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bunun yanında sosyal medya yapılan işin parçası haline geldiğinde benzer şeklide bağımlılık eğilimi artmaktadır. Ayrıca kadınların ve gençlerin bağımlılık eğilimleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda söz konusu etki faktörlerinden oluşturulan modelin sosyal medya bağımlılığı belirtilerine yönelik yapılacak yeni araştırmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir."
Elites and Institutions in the Russian Thermidor: Regime Instrumentalism, Entrepreneurial Signaling, and Inherent Illiberalism
Authors: Waller Julian
Published: June 2021

The modern Russian regime is one of the more prominent states espousing an explicitly illiberal ideological worldview domestically and abroad. Although regime illiberalism is many-sided, including authoritarian governance characteristics, international diffusion practices, and domestic political management, observers have often assumed that illiberalism is at its core an instrumental or cynical approach employed by the Russian leadership to bolster regime security and promote its foreign policy. This article suggests rather that observed illiberalism has additional roots in the dynamics of authoritarian domestic politics and society, rather than being characterized as simply a cynical top-down strategy of the Kremlin. Rather, regime illiberalism is congruent with many domestic drivers of political and societal influence. While decision-making elites certainly play up illiberalism instrumentally for purposes of regime maintenance and positional international influence, large institutional constituencies for substantive illiberalism also exist independent of regime goals. After suggesting two institutional formats—the Russian parliament and national broadcast media—in which observed illiberalism can best understood as an entrepreneurial behavior by lower-tier elite signaling loyalty and usefulness to the regime center, three further institutional sources are identified to be constituted by inherently illiberal organizational and symbolic forms that would promote illiberalism regardless of the regime’s strategic preferences: the Russian Orthodox Church, the Russian Armed Forces, and the symbolic center of the patronal presidency.
Delay in health-care-seeking treatment among tuberculosis patients in Japan: what are the implications for control in the era of universal health coverage?
Authors: Yoshikawa Reina , Kawatsu Lisa , Uchimura Kazuhiro , Ohkado Akihiro
Published: June 2021

Objectives: To study the trends in and risk factors for patient delay (the time from the onset of symptoms to the initial doctor visit) in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) using three temporal categories − short (2 weeks to <2 months), medium (2 months to <6 months) and long (≥6 months) − and discuss implications for social protection measures. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted by analysing Japanese TB surveillance data from patients with symptomatic PTB registered between 2007 and 2017 (n = 88 351). Results: While the proportion of patients with short delay has decreased significantly (P < 0.001), the proportions of those with medium or long delays have decreased slightly (P = 0.0015 and P < 0.001, respectively). Not having health insurance, receiving public assistance, being a temporary worker, and having a history of homelessness were some of the risks identified for patient delay. Being male and working full-time were two risks specifically associated with long delay (for males, the adjusted odds ratio = 1.17, P < 0.05; for being a full-time worker, the adjusted odds ratio = 1.72, P < 0.05). Discussion: Despite the implementation of universal health coverage decades ago, patient delay remains a challenge in Japan. Our study identified various risk factors, many of which could have been resolved if appropriate social protection measures were in place, indicating shortcomings in universal health coverage in Japan and the need for continued effort to ensure that no one is left behind.

Published: June 2021

In Samoa, the seroprevalence rates of sexually transmitted infections other than HIV have been endemically high over the past decade, despite years of prevention programming. Odds ratio and χ2 tests were conducted to compare the rates of positivity of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis across age groups from 2012 and 2017 surveillance data in Samoa. Young people aged 15–19 years were significantly more likely to have a chlamydia infection compared to all other age groups in both 2012 and 2017. Hepatitis B infections were more common in males and those aged 30 and above in both 2012 and 2017. Hepatitis C had no significant differences in age, but it was more common in males in 2012 and more common in females in 2017. Older age groups (aged 45 and above) were more likely to have a positive syphilis test in both 2014 and 2017 when compared to those aged 15–24 years. The results of this analysis confirm previously observed trends in Samoa for younger age groups’ prevalence of chlamydia and gonorrhoea, and for older age groups’ prevalence of hepatitis B and C. But the analysis also unexpectedly found that older age groups (aged 45 and above) are more likely to test positive for syphilis (for years 2014 and 2017). Further studies are needed to assess behavioural risk factors associated with older populations in order to explain the increase in risk and to design interventions suited to this demographic.

A OPINIÃO DO CIDADÃO IMPORTA? A TRAMITAÇÃO DAS PROPOSIÇÕES LEGISLATIVAS MAIS VOTADAS NO PORTAL E-CIDADANIA DO SENADO FEDERAL
Authors: Kniess Andressa Butture
Published: June 2021

A popularização das ferramentas digitais proporcionou aos cidadãos novas formas de participação política.  Entretanto, uma das preocupações da literatura é de que as manifestações enviadas pelos cidadãos através da internet não sejam devidamente consideradas pelos agentes públicos durante o processo decisório.  Dessa forma, o objetivo deste artigo é investigar se, e em que medida, os resultados das votações ocorridas na Consulta Pública do Portal e-Cidadania, do Senado Federal, condizem com as decisões tomadas pelos legisladores. Para isso, são analisadas as 41 propostas legislativas que já tiveram a votação encerrada e receberam mais de 50 mil votos dos usuários do Portal. A metodologia de pesquisa é a Análise Documental e as variáveis aplicadas às proposições são “identificação”, “ementa”, “número de apoios”, “número de rejeições”, “autoria” e “situação da proposição legislativa”. Os resultados mostram que pouco mais da metade das proposições analisadas tiveram um desfecho oposto daquele sugerido pelos participantes do Portal. Contudo, a não congruência entre a opinião dos cidadãos participantes e as decisões dos legisladores nem sempre é um resultado negativo, visto que, dentre as matérias analisadas, algumas consistem em sugestões legislativas, enviadas pelos próprios usuários do Portal, que buscam restringir liberdades democráticas ao propor a criminalização do comunismo e de movimentos sociais, por exemplo.
Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration
Authors: Wiesel Brent B. , Keeling Laura E.
Published: June 2021

Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) is a rare yet increasingly recognized complication of immunization. Although a medicolegal term rather than a true diagnosis, SIRVA was introduced in 2010 by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program after an increase in claims filed for vaccine-related shoulder injury. Patients typically present with severe pain and limited range of motion within 48 hours of vaccination and may experience notable functional limitations. Although the underlying pathophysiology is incompletely understood, the existing literature suggests that SIRVA results from the inflammatory response produced when the vaccine is injected into tissues containing a preexisting antibody. Current treatment modalities include physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and antiinflammatory medications. In some cases, surgery may be required to treat underlying pathology, such as rotator cuff or biceps tendinopathy. Although the available literature indicates modest improvement in patients with SIRVA undergoing treatment, current data are limited to case series. Larger, high-quality studies are needed to determine the natural history and optimal treatment of this increasingly prevalent condition.

Social Distancing in the Context of COVID-19 Anxiety: A Social Cognitive Approach
Authors: Graf Allyson S , Nehrkorn-Bailey Abigail , Knepple Carney Amy
Published: June 2021

As the impact of COVID-19 continues, engagement in social distancing is essential. Using Social Cognitive Theory, the current study examined the unique roles of COVID-19 anxiety and self-efficacy on the relationships between information-seeking and risk perception as predictors of social distancing intention. A convenience sample of 960 adults (M = 37.81 years, SD = 11.65) completed an author-designed online survey. Participants completed measures on behavioral intention, information-seeking, risk perception, COVID-19 anxiety, and self-efficacy. Moderated mediations examined the theoretically proposed relationships among the variables. COVID-19 anxiety moderated the relationship between risk perception and self-efficacy, but not the association between information-seeking and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy mediated the role of risk perception and information-seeking on behavioral intent. Self-efficacy was strongly associated with social distancing intention, consistent with previous research and underscoring the need to identify factors influencing self-efficacy in the context of a pandemic. Risk perception and information-seeking both directly and indirectly related to intention to social distance, with COVID-19 anxiety dampening the influence of perceived risk on self-efficacy. The roles of risk perception and information-seeking in relation to self-efficacy suggest the need to adequately describe risk, reduce pandemic-related anxiety, and provide accurate, transparent information.

The issue of social and professional readaptation of convicts is the subject of research and discussion in the field of social and legal sciences and practice around the world. In Poland, the system of assisting prisoners includes not only the Prison Service and probation officers, but also the Public Employment Services, social welfare institutions, and non-governmental organizations. Helping former convicts and returning them to the paths of social functioning brings benefits that go beyond the individual dimension and pays off not only in the local space, but also in the long term – affecting subsequent generations and shaping their resources and patterns of functioning. The article draws attention to the essence of social and professional reintegration and re-adaptation of people leaving prisons, taking into account the basic goal of institutional and social interactions, which is change. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of the functioning of institutions and non-profit organizations in the world that implement various programs of social and professional reintegration and re-adaptation of people at risk of social exclusion due to their criminal past. The good practices presented in the article may be an inspiration for planning and implementing programs on the basis of Polish post-penitentiary aid.
NON-COLLECTIONS? OLD COLLECTIONS
OF REPRODUCTIONS AND DOCUMENTING
PHOTOGRAPHS IN MUSEUMS: SELECTED
EXAMPLES
Authors: Kłudkiewicz Kamila
Published: June 2021

Elizabeth Edwards, a British researcher into the
relations among photography, history, and anthropology,
used the term of non-collections to define numerous photographs
of unidentified status which can be found in contemporary
museums. They are not collector’s items, such as e.g.,
artistic photography or unique specimens of the first photography
techniques. What she rather means are various items:
prints, slides, photo-mechanic reproductions, postcards, namely
objects once produced on a mass scale, with copies present
in many institutions worldwide, thus being neither unique
nor extraordinary. They present works from a museum
collection, historic pieces of local art, or universally known works
of world art. They exist in a hierarchical relation with other
classes of museum objects, yet they are often pushed to the
margin of curator’s practice and kept as ‘archives’, namely outside
the system of the museum collection. They can sometimes
be found in museum archival sections, in other instances
in libraries, yet it is on more rare occasions that we come
across them in photo departments. However, owing to the research
into archival photographs conducted in the last decade
(the studies of afore-mentioned Elizabeth Edwards and also
Constanza Caraffa as well as the teams cooperating with the latter),
such collections are experiencing a certain revival. Forming
part of this research, the paper focuses on the collections of reproductions
produced at the turn of the 20th century in museums
in Toruń, Poznań, and Szczecin, which were German at the
time; the reproductions later found their way to and continue
being kept in Polish institutions.
FLEXIBILITY OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIONS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN FAMILY BUSINESSES – RESULTS OF OWN RESEARCH
Authors: Lemańska-Majdzik Anna
Published: June 2021

The flexibility of the organization results from changes in the business environment and internal conditions of companies, and the multidimensionality of the concept of the flexibility of operations leads to the considerations in terms of organizational behavior from the perspective of enterprise management. Family businesses are a special group,
among others, characterized by the type of management, level of innovativeness, acquisition and mobilization of capital, cultural continuity, but also stability and flexibility of operation. The aim of the article is to diagnose the level of flexibility in the process of introducing innovations and new technologies by family businesses. The article is based on own research conducted in Poland in 2018 on a group of 346 family businesses. The survey, using the proprietary research tool, allowed for conclusions, that the size of the family business and the participation of family members in the power in the company determine the level of flexibility in activities in the area of introducing innovations and introducing new technologies
Józef Piłsudski – anatomia kultu i zamachu
Authors: Bieleń Stanisław
Published: June 2021

Przedmiotem rozważań jest mit polityczny Józefa Piłsudskiego, jednej z najbardziej kontrowersyjnych postaci polskiej polityki w XX w. W skrótowej formie pokazano tło historyczne, społeczne i psychologiczne narodzin legendy oraz wpływ tej postaci, a raczej mitu personalnego, na kolejne formacje ustrojowe Polski, aż do czasów współczesnych. Istotą wywodu jest pokazanie związku między „legendą legionową” i „geniuszem wodza” podczas wojny bolszewickiej i legitymizacją władzy, uzyskanej na drodze obalenia legalnych rządów parlamentarnych poprzez coup d’état. Autor spogląda na paradoksy w postrzeganiu konsekwencji bezrefleksyjnego kultu Piłsudskiego, krytycznie ocenia patologizację polskiej tożsamości narodowej, opartej na fałszowaniu historii. Wskazuje na konieczność rozprawienia się z zakłamaną historiografią i szkodliwą legendą.
INTERNET PROSUMPTION IN THE ASPECT OF ENTERPRISE COMPETITIVENESS
Authors: Kocot Maria
Published: June 2021

The article focuses on presenting the role of internet prosumption as a source of competitivenessof a modern enterprise. The boundaries between production and consumption processes areblurring. The prosumption relationship will be strengthened thanks to the progressive technological changes, especially the development of the Internet. Internet prosumers, by expressing their opposition to standardized production, become a reservoir of “new knowledge”. which in turn becomes the seed of innovation of all kinds. These activities lead to the expansion of the group of satisfied customers, consolidation of the company’s market position and, as a result, an increase in its competitiveness. The aim of the article is to present the importance of internet prosumption as a source of enterprise competitiveness. The analysis was summed up in the original model, which indicated that establishing a pro-consumer system becomes an external source of competitiveness. The article highlights the role of the Internet and ICT as a catalyst for effective communication between the consumer and the provider.

Language-Agnostic Visual-Semantic Embeddings
Authors: Wehrmann Jônatas , Barros Rodrigo C.
Published: June 2021

We propose a framework for training language-invariant cross-modal retrieval models. We introduce four novel text encoding approaches, as well as a character-based word-embedding approach, allowing the model to project similar words across languages into the same word-embedding space. In addition, by performing cross-modal retrieval at the character level, the storage requirements for a text encoder decrease substantially, allowing for lighter and more scalable retrieval architectures. The proposed language-invariant textual encoder based on characters is virtually unaffected in terms of storage requirements when novel languages are added to the system. Contributions include new methods for building character-level-based word-embeddings, an improved loss function, and a novel cross-language alignment module that not only makes the architecture language-invariant, but also presents better predictive performance. Moreover, we introduce a module called \adapt, which is responsible for providing query-aware visual representations that generate large improvements in terms of recall for four widely-used large-scale image-text datasets. We show that our models outperform the current state-of-the-art all scenarios. This thesis can serve as a new path on retrieval research, now allowing for the effective use of captions in multiple-language scenarios.

Published: June 2021

An EPG graph G is an edge-intersection graph of paths on a grid. In this thesis, we analyze structural characterizations and complexity aspects regarding EPG graphs. Our main focus is on the class of B1-EPG graphs whose intersection model satisfies well-known the Helly property, called Helly-B1-EPG. We show that the problem of recognizing Helly-B1-EPG graphs is NP-complete. Besides, other intersection graph classes such as VPG, EPT, and VPT were also studied. We completely solve the problem of determining the Helly and strong Helly numbers of Bk-EPG graphs and Bk-VPG graphs for each non-negative integer k. Finally, we show that every Chordal B1-EPG graph is at the intersection of VPT and EPT.
Ubiquitous Wireless Power Transfer for Multiple Mobile Devices
Authors: Souza Alexander Decker de , Vieira Luiz Filipe Menezes , Vieira Marcos Augusto Menezes
Published: June 2021

We propose two new computational problems associated with the charging of mobile devices using wireless power transfer via magnetic induction. Algorithms for these problems may enable ubiquitous charging, meaning the user is no longer required to be aware of the devices charging processes. We prove both problems as being NP-Hard and propose three dynamic programming algorithms to solve them in linear time regarding the size of the time horizon. We also propose three greedy algorithms for the problems. Experiments indicate that the best dynamic-programming algorithm among those proposed reaches between 89% and 97% of effectiveness, while the best greedy reaches between 74% and 92%, depending on the considered scenario.

Authors: Bittencourt Roberto Almeida , Santana Bianca Leite , Araujo Luis Gustavo Jesus
Published: June 2021

Dada a relevância da computação na sociedade contemporânea, seja por sua pervasividade e impacto, seja pelo seu potencial em facilitar a expressão flexível, a comunicação, o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional e as habilidades do Século XXI, seja pelas oportunidades de carreira oferecidas nesta área, é cada vez mais comum a adoção da computação nos currículos da educação básica. Este artigo descreve o currículo denominado Computação Fundamental, uma implementação de currículo e livros-texto para a segunda etapa do Ensino Fundamental brasileiro. O currículo fundamenta-se em currículos em espiral, na aprendizagem significativa, em projetos construcionistas e na contextualização da aprendizagem de computação. Os livros didáticos associados oferecem um guia para professores e atividades para estudantes que permitem conhecer elementos básicos da computação e realizar práticas de computação e reflexões a partir da prática. As primeiras experiências com o currículo apontam desafios de implementação em termos de infraestrutura, capacitação docente e integração com os currículos escolares existentes, mas também descortinam potenciais efeitos positivos em sua adoção em termos de expressão criativa, formação interdisciplinar, motivação e engajamento estudantil e melhor retenção do conhecimento.
A Parliament for the People? – The European Parliament’s Activism in the Area of Social Policy From the Early 1970s to the Single European Act
Authors: ROOS Mechthild
Published: June 2021

The formal powers of the European Parliament (EP) prior to the Single European Act (SEA, 1986) were marginal. However, this limited formal role did not correspond to the perception of the early Members of the EP (MEPs) as to what role the EP should play in Community policy-making. Predominantly driven by pro-integrationist ideas of ever-closer union - and of an ever-stronger Parliament - MEPs became activists for deeper political as well as institutional integration from the institution’s beginnings in the 1950s. This article studies the EP’s emerging legislative influence through the lens of Community social policy, a policy area with a particularly strong ideational dimension. Perceiving a lack of public support for and identification with the Community project, MEPs invested considerable time and effort prior to the SEA into attempts of creating a broad Community social policy. In so doing, the delegates hoped to convince the member states’ citizens of the added value of closer European integration whilst simultaneously enhancing their own institution’s position. Based on an extensive collection of EP archival documents, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the EP’s gradual empowerment at a time when the Treaties foresaw little more than a consultative assembly.
