Conceptualising the Citizenship-Integration Nexus
Authors: Barbulescu Roxana , Goodman Sara Wallace , Pedroza Luicy 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBeyond reiterating the well-known trope that citizenship is simultaneously a status, a category of belonging, and an identity, this volume gets back to the long-standing question about the relation between immigrant integration and the process of citizenship acquisition in Europe. In this chapter, we conceptualize the citizenship-integration nexus, we review the state of the art around this question and clarify our understanding of integration. Furthermore, we explain why and how the contribution to this volume help us to revisit the citizenship-integration nexus: showcasing the acquisition of citizenship as a multi-stakeholder process, pluralist in form, manifesting at many sites, levels, and times (before, during and after the formal process of naturalization), the contributions question three main assumptions of the nexus. First, that citizenship is the main path for social incorporation. Second, that policies and processes of citizenship acquisition are conducive to integration. Third, that naturalization is a vehicle for socioeconomic improvement. Based on the innovative analytical and methodological perspectives included in this book we propose that citizenship performs tasks other than – and sometimes regardless of – integration, while social incorporation goals are often met irrespective of the formal acquisition of citizenship.
“It Just Feels Weird” – Irish External Voting and the ‘Brexit Irish’
Authors: Barry Brown Vikki 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIreland is a country with a generous citizenship offering but restricted external voting rights. The first (or emigrant) generation lose the right to vote eighteen months after departure; other non-resident citizens, including those in Northern Ireland (NI) are currently ineligible to vote. In November 2020 the Irish Government committed to holding a referendum which if passed, would give all Irish citizens, resident and non-resident the right to vote in Presidential elections. This chapter, based on interviews with people born in the UK and Northern Ireland who acquired Irish passports following the UK’s referendum to leave the European Union considers the topic of Irish external voting through the lens of these new passport holders, exploring their relationship to political participation in the Republic of Ireland.
Teacher Education in Greenland
Authors: Demant-Poort Lars , Elstad Eyvind 
Published: March 2023

AbstractGreenland, the world’s largest island, has more than 50 settlements and towns scattered along the coastline, from Siorapaluk in the very north to Aappilatoq more than 2.100 km further south. The vast distances between settlements pose logistical challenges for both schools and for teacher education. Greenland has immense social problems; many children grow up in homes with alcoholism, abuse and violence. The cultural distance between pupils and schooling is often also an issue. Many school-related challenges concern schools’ management, and teachers’ competencies. Teacher shortage, especially in smaller settlements, is a significant problem. Furthermore, teachers are expected to teach a variety of subjects that they are not trained to teach. On top of the challenges to primary and lower secondary schooling, there is a lack of Greenlandic teachers at the higher secondary school level, caused by the unavailability of sufficiently educated teachers from Greenland. Moreover, teacher education faces challenges in creating the conditions needed for interaction between theory and practice. The country has a colonial past but attained self-rule status in 2009. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the evolution of Greenlandic education and further explore the development of Greenlandic teacher education and its challenges.
The Education of Teachers in Sweden: An Endeavour Struggling with Academic Demands and Professional Relevance
Authors: Åstrand Björn 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis chapter presents the main features of how teachers are educated in Sweden, including current reforms due to teacher shortages and criticism of teacher quality. It based on from the notion of teacher education as a societally critical activity, orienting around tensions, balances and difficulties in teacher education. It is argued that teacher education is a complex activity that policy and practice unfortunately do not pay adequate attention to. Teacher education in Sweden is profoundly varied. Recurrent top-down reforms complicate teacher education, as an understanding of the central aspects of teacher education has not been agreed upon or endorsed. The continued criticism of teacher education, despite many reforms and changing practices, might indicate that recurring political demands to reform teacher education rest on unclear or inadequate grounds or incomplete information, or they might be conditioned by overarching political motivations. As teacher education is central to education in general and to the advancement of democracy, this is particularly worrying. It is through an analysis of the full complexity of teacher education that it becomes possible to design adequate reforms that result in transformative work on how to ‘get better at getting better’, a feature that applies to both organizations and professionals.
Teacher Education in the Faroe Islands
Authors: Harryson Hans 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis chapter begins with an overview of the 150-year history of teacher education in the Faroe Islands. The quality of the current teacher education programme is assessed on the basis of five distinct indicators: (1) recruitment, (2) academicization, (3) pitfalls, (4) resilience and (5) competence. These five gauges are often assessed separately in teacher education research; however, to gain an adequate understanding of the quality and relevance of teacher education in the twenty-first century, they must be examined together. Finally, the article reflects on the future of teacher education in the Faroe Islands.
Conclusion

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe findings of this in-depth case study provide insights for generalisations about how strategic temporality may operate in other refugee-hosting countries as well as specific findings about state responses to mass migration situations. Some key findings can be summarised as including a (1) complicated and fragmented legal system, (2) multiplicity of actors, (3) re-nationalisation and restrictiveness, (4) increased complexity and uncertainty in all layers of rules and practices, (5) consistent liminality experienced by refugees. These characteristics are observable in concrete policy practices in diverse sub-policy fields involving remote border controls, blocking reception, downgrading protection and slowing integration. As we showed, the concept of strategic temporality, along with its related components of liminality, uncertainty and complexity, is helpful for understanding state responses across time and sub-policy fields.
Knocking on the Door of Closed Traditions The Overlay of Autochthonous Ethnicization and Migration
Authors: Peterlini Hans Karl 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAreas with autochthonous minorities hold a wealth of experience in dealing with diversity. This richness often needs to be recovered under well-rehearsed conflict routines. Historically ethnicized societies experience additional complexity through the overlap with more recent migration. How do migrants find their way in a system that balances national majorities and autochthonous minorities? The case study of a young man arrived in Europa as child, and his struggle for belonging to an ethnocentric culture illustrates the theoretical complexity of this particular diversity issue.
The Split School. From Selective Normality Concepts to a Phenomenology of Diversity
Authors: Peterlini Hans Karl 
Published: March 2023

Abstract“Inclusion is good, but how do you get a homogeneous class together?” Pedagogical action in schools and other settings is often based on (consciously or unconsciously) normative notions of what is normal. Measured against these standards, the diversity of being different appears deficient. Children, adolescents, adults, and older people in educational contexts are perceived as problematic cases, and the richness of their diversity is not recognized. Measured against these standards, the diversity of being different turns out to be deficient. Children, adolescents, and adults in educational contexts are perceived as problematic cases, and the richness of their diversity and uniqueness is misjudged. The chapter argues for a reversal of the normality concept: Not the imagined ideal, but the given diversity is normal. Inclusive education must be oriented to this and not to abstract ideas of standards.
Dialogue with Adorno. How to Deal with Right-Wing Populism, Racism and Institutional Cruelization
Authors: Peterlini Hans Karl 
Published: March 2023

AbstractHow is education still possible at all after the insight into the Holocaust? Theodor W. Adorno asked himself this question in his essay “Education after Auschwitz.” The chapter raises this question against inhumane political attitudes toward recent refugee movements. Have decades of political education and peace education failed when racism and coldness towards people in need are again blatantly evident in European societies? Admitting the felt powerlessness of pedagogical technique, the article develops considerations on how " Education after Aleppo" can be thought of and conceived in a meaningful way.
Searching for the Lost Paradise
Authors: Peterlini Hans Karl 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe dichotomous division between the Self and the Other corresponds to the division between humans and nature. Just as others marked as completely different were enslaved and murdered in extreme cases and discriminated against in everyday life, humans behave destructively toward nature. The consciousness to be connected with it and to threaten oneself by the unsparing interventions in natural balance is lost despite available knowledge. The chapter explores pedagogical dilemmas and potentials for action to address this core question of human survival.
Transition to Online Teaching Under COVID-19: The Case Study of UAE University
Authors: Shomotova Aizhan , Karabchuk Tatiana 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis chapter discusses the role of universities and government in supporting the transition to online teaching, describes the challenges and reflections of academic staff on this transition to online teaching, their research efficiency during the lockdown, and their satisfaction and comfortability with the online teaching experience in general and in the future. This empirical study uses a cross-sectional online survey of faculty members’ experience transitioning to online teaching at UAE University (N = 175 of faculty members). The chapter suggests that the UAEU case study could be treated as a successful example of the urgent transition to online learning and teaching since the vast majority of the faculty members were satisfied with their online teaching experience. Furthermore, results even speak for improved research efficiency, irrespective of gender.
Refocusing the Narrative on the International Higher Education Policy
Authors: Uzhegova Dina , Arkoudis Sophie 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption to international higher education worldwide. This was particularly notable in countries like Australia that have heavily depended on the income from the international student fees. During the pandemic such transactional and economy-based models of international education proved to be vulnerable to changing environment. In this chapter we argue that enhancement of international education in the future will require refocusing the narrative on international education from financial or reputational gains to student learning and experience. To do so, academic community needs to be more involved in institutional international education discussions, development and decision-making. We frame our speculation about the possible futures of international education around four areas that could inform a more engaged, diverse and inclusive policy for international education. Drawing mainly on Australian context we invite readers to consider these four areas and ways to include diverse voices into the narrative on the international education in their institutions.
Computationally Collected and Curated ‘What If’ Questions to Spark a SoTL Collaboration
Authors: Coleman Kathryn , Belton Amanda 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAs the project team began this journey at Melbourne Graduate School of Education, The University of Melbourne at the start of the pandemic in early 2020, we asked, what collaborations are needed for next practice collaborative thinking to emerge in the academy in the current socio-political climate, and what conditions do we need in place for these collaborations to develop into new and agile educational research partnerships? Our next practices project was co-designed across 2020–2021 through a process of speculative thinking that “thrives on imagination and aims to open up new perspectives on what are sometimes called wicked problems, to create spaces for discussion and debate about alternative ways of being, and to inspire and encourage people’s imaginations to flow freely” (Dunne & Raby, 2013, p.2).
Designing Education for Wellbeing and Connection in a COVID Impacted World
Authors: Colla Rachel , Gowing Annie , Molloy Murphy Angela , Ryan Tracii 
Published: March 2023

AbstractSustainable and systemic approaches to addressing mental health are critical in higher education, as studies consistently show that university students and academic staff have higher rates of psychological distress than the general population. These issues have undoubtedly been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, where social distancing, mandated online learning, fear, and uncertainty around public health have increased feelings of stress, anxiety, and isolation. Therefore, in a COVID impacted world, cultivating wellbeing and connection in both physical and virtual learning spaces has become a social and educational imperative. Recent experiences of the challenges of supporting wellbeing and connection in the online classroom highlight a range of known and emergent risks. However, these experiences also provide opportunities for reimagining how wellbeing and connection are experienced and promoted in that space and for articulating understandings of student care. Thinking beyond highly individualized western conceptualizations, this chapter aims to position wellbeing as a collective concept, where the wellness of the self is inextricably linked to the wellness of the world. In doing so, we interrogate the presumed universality and neutrality of commonly used online learning technologies and work toward developing learning designs with a pedagogical intention of care, inclusivity, relationality, and student voice.
Soft limits of the wavefunction in exceptional scalar theories
Authors: Bittermann Noah , Joyce Austin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We study the structure of the flat space wavefunctional in scalar field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetries. These symmetries imply soft theorems that are satisfied by wavefunction coefficients in the limit where one of the external momenta is scaled to zero. After elucidating the structure of these soft theorems in the nonlinear sigma model, Dirac-Born-Infeld, and galileon scalar theories, we combine them with information about the singularity structure of the wavefunction to bootstrap the wavefunction coefficients of these theories. We further systematize this construction through two types of recursion relations: one that utilizes the flat space scattering amplitude plus minimal information about soft limits, and an alternative that does not require amplitude input, but does require subleading soft information.
Bicomplex Neural Networks with Hypergeometric Activation Functions
Authors: Vieira Nelson 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBicomplex convolutional neural networks (BCCNN) are a natural extension of the quaternion convolutional neural networks for the bicomplex case. As it happens with the quaternionic case, BCCNN has the capability of learning and modelling external dependencies that exist between neighbour features of an input vector and internal latent dependencies within the feature. This property arises from the fact that, under certain circumstances, it is possible to deal with the bicomplex number in a component-wise way. In this paper, we present a BCCNN, and we apply it to a classification task involving the colourized version of the well-known dataset MNIST. Besides the novelty of considering bicomplex numbers, our CNN considers an activation function a Bessel-type function. As we see, our results present better results compared with the one where the classical ReLU activation function is considered.
A Quaternionic Bernstein Theorem
Authors: Perotti Alessandro 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe prove a four-dimensional version of a Bernstein’s theorem, with complex polynomials being replaced by quaternionic polynomials. Moreover, using an Almansi-type decomposition of polynomials, we formulate the quaternionic Bernstein’s inequality in terms of four-dimensional zonal harmonics and Gegenbauer polynomials.

A New Edge Enhancement Filter for the Interpretation of Magnetic Field Data
Authors: Ibraheem Ismael M. , Tezkan Bülent , Ghazala Hosni , Othman Amal A. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractOne of the main goals of the interpretation of magnetic data is the imaging of the boundaries of subsurface structures. In this study, a new edge detector called improved horizontal tilt angle (impTDX) has been introduced and tested on synthetic and measured magnetic data. The filter exhibits high efficiency not only in detecting the boundaries of the sources, but also in determining magnetic sources from different depth levels. The impTDX filter produces more precise and sharper boundaries, increases the discernibility of neighboring anomalies, has the advantage of avoiding creation of false edges, and is less sensitive to noise compared to other known filters, which minimizes the uncertainty in the data interpretation. The proposed filter has been applied to aeromagnetic data from Sohag, Egypt. It highlighted the subsurface magnetic structures with high resolution where a structural map showing normal faults demarcating the subsurface causative horsts and grabens was constructed. This map confirms that the Nile grabens are of tectonic origin related to the opening of the Red Sea. Our findings indicate that the proposed filter can be considered as a valuable tool in mapping of subsurface magnetic structures.
Further results on a new class of functional equations satisfied by polynomial functions
Authors: Okeke Chisom Prince 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWhenever a numerical method produces accurate results, it creates an interesting functional equation, and because regularities is not assumed, unexpected solutions can emerge. Thus, this paper is mainly devoted to finding solutions to a generalized functional equation constructed in this spirit; namely, we solve the generalized form of the functional equation considered in Fechner and Gselmann (Publ Math Debrecen 80(1–2):143–154, 2012), then considered in Nadhomi et al. (Aequationes Math 95:1095–1117, 2021) and continued in Okeke and Sablik (Results Math 77:125, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00025-022-01664-x, 2022), that is we find the polynomial functions satisfying the following functional equation, $$\begin{aligned} \sum _{i=1}^n \gamma _i F(a_i x + b_i y)= \sum _{j=1}^m(\alpha _j x + \beta _j y) f(c_j x + d_j y), \end{aligned}$$

It turns out that under some assumptions on the parameters involved, the pair (F, f) solving Eq. (0.1) happens to be a pair of polynomial functions.
Subcutaneous nitroglycerin increased the success rate of radial artery cannulation in women with gestational hypertension undergoing cesarean section

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
Radial artery cannulation helps to maintain the stability of maternal hemodynamics and reduce complications; however, it is difficult for women with gestational hypertension. Subcutaneous nitroglycerin was found to improve the first attempt success rate of radial artery cannulation in pediatric patients. Therefore, this study evaluated the effect of subcutaneous nitroglycerin on the radial artery diameter and area, blood flow rate and the success rate of radial artery cannulation in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Methods
A total of 94 women with gestational hypertension and risk of intraoperative bleeding undergoing cesarean section were identified and randomized into the subcutaneous nitroglycerin group and control group. The primary outcome was the success rate of left radial artery cannulation within 3 min after subcutaneous injecting (T2). The puncture time, number of attempts, the overall complications, and ultrasonographic measurements including radial artery diameter, cross-sectional area and depth were also recorded before subcutaneous injection (T1), 3 min after subcutaneous injection (T2) and immediately after radial artery cannulation (T3).

Results
The first attempt success rate of radial artery cannulation was significantly higher (97.9% vs. 76.6%, p = 0.004) and procedure time to success was significantly shorter (111 ± 18 s vs. 171 ± 70 s, p < 0.001) in the subcutaneous nitroglycerin group as compared to the control group. The subcutaneous nitroglycerin group also had a significantly less overall number of attempts as 1/2/3 attempts (n), 46/1/0 vs. 36/7/4 (p = 0.008). Compared with the control group, the diameter and cross-sectional area of radial artery increased significantly at the T2 and T3 points in the subcutaneous nitroglycerin group (p < 0.001), as well as percentage change of radial artery diameter and CSA. Vasospasm (6.4% vs. 31.9%; p = 0.003) was significantly lower in the subcutaneous nitroglycerin group; however, no difference was found in hematoma (2.1% vs. 12.8%; p = 0.111).

Conclusion
Subcutaneous nitroglycerin along with the routine local anesthetic preparation before radial artery cannulation increased the first attempt success rate of radial artery cannulation and decreased the overall number of cannulation attempts in women with gestational hypertension and risks of intraoperative bleeding undergoing cesarean section, it also decreased cannulation times and overall number of vasospasms.
