description: We present the first measurement of the correlation between the map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential derived from the \emph{Planck} nominal mission data and $z\gtrsim 1.5$ galaxies detected by the \emph{Herschel}-ATLAS (H-ATLAS) survey covering about $600\,\hbox{deg}^2$, i.e. about 1.4\% of the sky. We reject the hypothesis that there is no correlation between CMB lensing and galaxy detection at a $20\,σ$ significance, checking the result by performing a number of null tests. The significance of the detection of the theoretically expected cross-correlation signal is found to be $10\,σ$. The galaxy bias parameter, $b$, derived from a joint analysis of the cross-power spectrum and of the auto-power spectrum of the galaxy density contrast is found to be $b=2.80^{+0.12}_{-0.11}$, consistent with earlier estimates for H-ATLAS galaxies at similar redshifts. On the other hand, the amplitude of the cross-correlation is found to be a factor $1.62 \pm 0.16$ higher than expected from the standard model and also found by cross-correlation analyses with other tracers of the large-scale structure. The enhancement due to lensing magnification can account for only a fraction of the excess cross-correlation signal. We suggest that part of it may be due to an incomplete removal of the contamination of the CIB, that includes the H-ATLAS sources we are cross-correlating with. In any case, the highly significant detection reported here using a catalog covering only 1.4\% of the sky demonstrates the potential of CMB lensing correlations with submillimeter surveys.

description: The Berry curvature (BC) - a quantity encoding the geometric properties of the electronic wavefunctions in a solid - is at the heart of different Hall-like transport phenomena, including the anomalous Hall and the non-linear Hall and Nernst effects. In non-magnetic quantum materials with acentric crystalline arrangements, local concentrations of BC are generally linked to single-particle wavefunctions that are a quantum superposition of electron and hole excitations. BC-mediated effects are consequently observed in two-dimensional systems with pairs of massive Dirac cones and three-dimensional bulk crystals with quartets of Weyl cones. Here, we demonstrate that in materials equipped with orbital degrees of freedom local BC concentrations can arise even in the complete absence of hole excitations. In these solids, the crystals fields appearing in very low-symmetric structures trigger BCs characterized by hot-spots and singular pinch points. These characteristics naturally yield giant BC dipoles and large non-linear transport responses in time-reversal symmetric conditions.

title: Die Korruptionsbekämpfung in Deutschland vs. Russland im Rechtsvergleich - unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Chancen und Risiken der Errichtung eines Compliance-Management-Systems
Creators: name: Seidler, Katja Sophie
Year: 2022

description: Unternehmen sind auch heutzutage noch mit Korruption konfrontiert. Sie kommt in den unterschiedlichsten Branchen vor und trifft dabei auch große Wirtschaftsunternehmen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es zu beantworten, wie Unternehmen mit der Bekämpfung von Korruption umgehen und welche präventiven Maßnahmen sie treffen, um sich zu schützen. Dazu wird die folgende Frage gestellt: Auf welche Art und Weise hilft ein Compliance-Management-System bei der Korruptionsbekämpfung und inwieweit wird dieses System in den Wirtschaftsunternehmen bereits angewendet? Um die Frage zu beantworten, wurde dabei, der Fokus auf Deutschland und Russland gelegt und ein Rechtsvergleich dahingehend vorgenommen, inwieweit diese beiden Länder mit der Korruptionsbekämpfung umgehen und inwieweit die Errichtung eines Compliance-Management-Systems dort erfolgreich ist. Der Rechtsvergleich hat aufgezeigt, dass sich beide Länder intensiv mit der Korruptionsproblematik auseinandersetzen, aber jeweils unterschiedlich damit umgehen und unterschiedlich weit entwickelt sind. Besonders Russland liegt dabei weit hinter den deutschen und internationalen Standards zur Korruptionsbekämpfung zurück.

description: Purpose: In the present paper we describe how civic and citizenship education takes place in Italy, trying to identify strengths and weaknesses, with the aims both of understanding the situation and of identifying possible measures for improvement. Methods: The methodology implies an analysis of the official guidelines by the Ministry in this field, a short view of the research publications of the last 30 years, the informal observation of the daily teaching at school from the personal experience of the authors in Italy. Findings: First of all we study the concept of civic and citizenship education, and focus on the curriculum of civic and citizenship education (aims, teaching approaches, taught time, methods and means) in the school system, including the school culture and the experiences of participation inside school; we investigate the teacher training and role, the informal and non-formal influences in this educational field, and conclude dealing with the student assessment, and the evaluation of the outcomes. In the daily practice there are thousands of activities for civic and citizenship education, but a systematic design is lacking.

description: Quality Assurance for Business Intelligence is aimed at ensuring that BI systems supply proper, reliable, anduseful information. This comprises data accuracy checking, standardisation of reporting, user education, datasecurity and privacy alongside data quality enhancement. QA leads to accurate conclusions and theoptimisation of organisational performance with the help of BI while upgrading data quality and systemefficiency. It is an undisputed fact that quality education plays a crucial role in deciding the growth andprogress of modern civilisation. Modern schools and colleges are attempting to develop the active improvementof their programs and to maintain quality control for business information. Exploring the current state ofeducational quality management is the topic of this article in view of the BI systems’ integration and QA in theeducation sector. In regards to this, it assesses how the conventional QA technique can complemented by usingBI tools to enhance data readability, reporting, and decision-making. Thus, the paper, being an analysis of thecontribution of BI in enhancing local QA strategies, describes how BI can support operative insights, forecasts,and resource management. It aims to offer a comprehensive framework for combining QA with BI to address thechallenges faced by educational institutions, ultimately leading to more effective quality management andcontinuous improvement in educational outcomes.

description: The article by Matthias Busch and Nancy Morys ‘“Mobilising for the Values of the Republic” - France's Education Policy Response to the “Fragmented Society”: A Commented Press Review’ is dedicated to the recent debates on moral education in France. The study by Busch and Morys is based on a review of official texts, including educational policy documents, scientific and journalistic articles, interviews, statements of teachers and experts. This methodological approach considers a variety of arguments in the debate and highlights the key points which relate more broadly to the role of secular schools in the ideology of the French Republic on social integration. Our aim here is to provide a non-exhaustive historical perspective in the aim of better understanding the significance of these very topical issues.

description: This paper presents an extension of the Elias bound on the minimum distance of codes for discrete alphabets with general, possibly infinite-valued, distances. The bound is obtained by combining a previous extension of the Elias bound, introduced by Blahut, with an extension of a bound previously introduced by the author which builds upon ideas of Gallager, Lovász and Marton. The result can in fact be interpreted as a unification of the Elias bound and of Lovász's bound on graph (or zero-error) capacity, both being recovered as particular cases of the one presented here. Previous extensions of the Elias bound by Berlekamp, Blahut and Piret are shown to be included as particular cases of our bound. Applications to the reliability function are then discussed.

Shear viscosity of nuclear matter in the spinodal region

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on IBUU simulations calibrated by previous efforts of the transport model evaluation project, we have studied the specific shear viscosity $η/s$ of nuclear matter in the spinodal region using the Green-Kubo method. With the momentum-independent mean-field potential which reproduces reasonably well empirical nuclear matter properties and nuclear phase diagram, we have generated dynamically stable and thermalized nuclear cluster systems in a box with the periodic boundary condition. Extensive results of the $η/s$ at different average densities and temperatures in uniform and non-uniform systems are compared, and we found that the shear viscosity is smaller with nuclear clusters due to the enhanced correlation of the energy-momentum tensor and the stronger collision effect. The temperature dependence of the $η/s$ has a minimum only at low average densities of $ρ<0.3ρ_0$. The present study serves as a rigorous baseline calculation of the $η/s$ in nuclear systems with clusters, and helps to understand the relation between the shear viscosity and the nuclear phase diagram.

description: Observable quantities in cosmology are dimensionless, and therefore independent of the units in which they are measured. This is true of all physical quantities associated with the primordial perturbations that source cosmic microwave background anisotropies such as their amplitude and spectral properties. However, if one were to try and infer an absolute energy scale for inflation-- a priori, one of the more immediate corollaries of detecting primordial tensor modes-- one necessarily makes reference to a particular choice of units, the natural choice for which is Planck units. In this note, we discuss various aspects of how inferring the energy scale of inflation is complicated by the fact that the effective strength of gravity as seen by inflationary quanta necessarily differs from that seen by gravitational experiments at presently accessible scales. The uncertainty in the former relative to the latter has to do with the unknown spectrum of universally coupled particles between laboratory scales and the putative scale of inflation. These intermediate particles could be in hidden as well as visible sectors or could also be associated with Kaluza-Klein resonances associated with a compactification scale below the scale of inflation. We discuss various implications for cosmological observables.

Revealing the supercritical dynamics of dusty plasmas and their liquid-like to gas-like dynamical crossover

description: Dusty plasmas represent a powerful playground to study the collective dynamics of strongly coupled systems with important interdisciplinary connections to condensed matter physics. Due to the pure Yukawa repulsive interaction between dust particles, dusty plasmas do not display a traditional liquid-vapor phase transition, perfectly matching the definition of a supercritical fluid. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we verify the supercritical nature of dusty plasmas and reveal the existence of a dynamical liquid-like to gas-like crossover which perfectly matches the salient features of the Frenkel line in classical supercritical fluids. We present several diagnostics to locate this dynamical crossover spanning from local atomic connectivity, shear relaxation dynamics, velocity autocorrelation function, heat capacity, and various transport properties. All these different criteria well agree with each other and are able to successfully locate the Frenkel line in both 2D and 3D dusty plasmas. In addition, we propose the unity ratio of the instantaneous transverse sound speed $C_T$ to the average particle speed $\bar{v}_{p}$, i.e., $C_T / \bar{v}_{p} = 1$, as a new diagnostic to identify this dynamical crossover. Finally, we observe an emergent degree of universality in the collective dynamics and transport properties of dusty plasmas as a function of the screening parameter and dimensionality of the system. Intriguingly, the temperature of the dynamical transition is independent of the dimensionality, and it is found to be always $20$ times of the corresponding melting point. Our results open a new path for the study of single particle and collective dynamics in plasmas and their interrelation with supercritical fluids in general.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study the ribbon discs that arise from a symmetric union presentation of a ribbon knot. A natural notion of symmetric ribbon number is introduced and compared with the classical ribbon number. We show that the gap between these numbers can be arbitrarily large by constructing an infinite family of ribbon knots with ribbon number 2 and arbitrarily large symmetric ribbon number. The proof is based on a particularly simple description of symmetric unions in terms of certain band diagrams which leads to an upper bound for the Heegaard genus of their branched double covers.

Year: 2017

description: Purpose: This paper unfolds the ways in which Croatia, as a young post-communist democracy, has aligned its transition and consolidation with the development of education programs that would support the protection of human rights and the creation of a democratic political culture. Design/methodology/approach: By combining the existing studies with the authors’ own analyses of documents and internet sources, as well as interviews with teachers, this paper reveals that by adopting vague and non-binding policies, the Croatian political elite has demonstrated a lack of political will and courage over the past twenty-five years to develop a systematic and quality-based citizenship education. Findings: After long-term negligence, in the most recent five-year period, the need to change the educational path has gained prominence on the policy and political agenda. However, the reform process did not result in bridging, but in the deepening of ideological divides within the Croatian society. With the officially adopted interdisciplinary and cross-curricular approach, the responsibility for carrying out citizenship education was placed in the hands of teachers, with civil society organizations taking a compensating role. Whilst the former lack practical education, as well as guidelines and resources to incorporate citizenship education into the subjects they teach, the latter are incapable of reaching out to a sufficient share of the youth population. The outcome is that the youth continuously displays inadequate levels of citizenship competences.

description: We extend the old formalism of cut-and-join operators in the theory of Hurwitz $τ$-functions to description of a wide family of KP-integrable {\it skew} Hurwitz $τ$-functions, which include, in particular, the newly discovered interpolating WLZZ models. Recently, the simplest of them was related to a superintegrable two-matrix model with two potentials and one external matrix field. Now we provide detailed proofs, and a generalization to a multi-matrix representation, and propose the $β$ deformation of the matrix model as well. The general interpolating WLZZ model is generated by a $W$-representation given by a sum of operators from a one-parametric commutative sub-family (a commutative subalgebra of $w_\infty$). Different commutative families are related by cut-and-join rotations. Two of these sub-families (`vertical' and `45-degree') turn out to be nothing but the trigonometric and rational Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonians, the `horizontal' family is represented by simple derivatives. Other families require an additional analysis.

description: We show that the fractional Laplacian can be viewed as a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a degenerate hyperbolic problem, namely, the wave equation with an additional diffusion term that blows up at time zero. A solution to this wave extension problem is obtained from the Schrödinger group by means of an oscillatory subordination formula, which also allows us to find kernel representations for such solutions. Asymptotics of related oscillatory integrals are analysed in order to determine the correct domains for initial data in the general extension problem involving non-negative self-adjoint operators. An alternative approach using Bessel functions is also described.

This executive summary outlines the key findings and main recommendations, explaining how strengthening and better leveraging professional standards in the industry can contribute to improved quality building outcomes. The research project addresses the need to enhance public trust within the Australian residential apartment sector and respond to escalating concerns about major defects and the quality of multistorey (4+ or higher) apartment buildings, as outlined in the Building Confidence Report (‘Shergold Weir Report’). Building industry professionals practice in a complex environment, highlighted by the fact that their involvement spans numerous interconnected phases, including planning, design, procurement, tendering, construction and management. This provides the relevant context to explore the ‘public trust’ problem through the lens of professions and their professionalism.

How does motherhood and fatherhood affect academic trajectories? A study on gender gaps in academic science in Uruguay
Creators: name: Tomassini, Cecilia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The preliminary results show evidence that mothers and fathers show differences in their educational trajectories, and in access to academic positions and publications. The most critical points seem to be related to motherhood and the stage of culmination of the doctorate. Likewise, it is observed that the effects of motherhood could be affecting the average publications of women, which would generate cumulative disadvantages throughout their careers. Access to higher ranking and higher pay grades continues to show significant gaps for women who have and do not have children. Although there are differences by area, this glass ceiling remains one of the most rigid ones in academic science in Uruguay.

Here, we investigate how well the CIM simulates the thermodynamic properties of a two-dimensional square-lattice Ising model. Assuming that the spin sets sampled by the CIM can be regarded as a canonical ensemble, we estimate the effective temperature of the spins represented by degenerate optical parametric oscillator pulses by using maximum likelihood estimation. With the obtained temperature, we confirmed that the thermodynamic quantities obtained with the CIM exhibited a phase-transition-like behavior that better matches the analytical and numerical results than the mean field one.

Local spectral skies with radiative transfer simulations: comparing measured and simulated spectral skies for Berlin
Creators: name: Balakrishnan, Priji
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Measured spectral sky data or spectral sky models are required in the lighting field for performing spectral daylight simulations. Spectral daylight simulations are the new frontiers of daylight simulations, and they aid in predicting richer colour information and the non-image forming responses of light. While measured spectral sky data is scarce due to the requirements of high-end spectral measurement devices, spectral skies can be simulated using physics-based radiative transfer programs like libRadtran. LibRadtran is an open-source library with standard atmospheric profiles for its application, which is also utilised by current spectral daylighting simulation platforms like ALFA. However, libRadtran can also generate location-specific skies with measured atmospheric inputs like water vapour, pressure, oxygen and other atmospheric constituents. This project compares radiative simulations of libRadtran (using measured atmospheric inputs) with measured spectral sky data in Berlin to study the relevance of local skies in daylight applications.
Teaching About the « Economic Crisis » Today. The Example of French « Economic and Social Sciences »

Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: In France at the high school the subject matter “Sciences Économiques et Sociales” (economic and social sciences) deals with the present economic crisis. We study the ways it is taught about: words, and explanatory patterns. Design/methodology/approach: We use a specific approach, that we call “semantic holism”, conceiving subject contents as the product of a dual process of didactization and of axiologization of reference knowledge. That implies relating these contents to the social value system and, especially, to the lexicon, set of keywords through which people must think and talk at some point. The analysis starts from the examination of economic and social sciences syllabuses and teaching resources, and leads us to highlight the predominance of the references to standard economics, but this predominance cannot be justified by the state of scientific knowledge. Findings: We show on the contrary a lexicon effect: the subject key notions have been selected in accordance to the lexicon keywords. Therefore the proposed contents seem far from the objective to understanding the major issues at stake today. Research limitations/implications: Then further researches must focus on the ways of teaching about the crisis in spite of the present lexicon.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit war die Verknüpfung zweier momentan hoch brisanter Themen: Sexroboter und Feminismus, sowie ein Versuch der Fruchtbarmachung der Idee für das schulische Umfeld und die ethische Bildung. Die hinter der Arbeit liegende Motivation galt der Frage, ob Sexroboter feministische Technologie sind und wenn nicht, was nötig sei, um sie als solche klassifizieren zu können. Durch eine ausgedehnte Literaturrecherche konnte aufgrund der Vielzahl feministischer Strömungen und den daraus resultierenden, unterschiedlichen Interpretationen der Thematik die Antwort gefunden werden, dass eine entsprechende Klassifizierung von der jeweiligen feministischen Einstellung abhängig ist. Nichtsdestotrotz konnten vermehrt positive Aspekte aufgezeigt werden, welche innerhalb eines inklusiven und liberalen Feminismus für Sexroboter als feministische Technologie sprechen würden. Voraussetzung dafür wäre aber zumindest eine Anpassung der mit dem derzeitigen Roboterdesign einhergehenden stereotypen Darstellungsformen hin zu einer Frauen weniger objektifizierenden Charakterisierung der sozialen Maschinen.
‘‘Politics is ethics done in public’: Exploring Linkages and Disjunctions between Citizenship Education and Character Education in England
Creators: name: Kisby, Ben
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2017

description: Purpose: This article explores linkages and disjunctions between citizenship education and character education in England. Approach: The article undertakes a theoretical discussion of what both forms of education are and involve, and a historical overview of their development over the past twenty years, utilising a wide range of primary and secondary sources. Findings: Citizenship education programmes tend to place much greater emphasis than character education on the development of the necessary knowledge and skills that enable participation in political and democratic activities. The focus of character education is on personal ethics rather than public ethics, and the particular understanding of character education advanced by British politicians has been narrow and instrumental, linking the development of character with individual ‘success’, especially in the jobs market. Research implications: Comparative research is now needed to examine the strengths and weaknesses of these two forms of education as they are delivered in other countries, and to explore the similarities and differences between the experiences of different countries. Practical implications: Policy-makers concerned to ensure that young people have the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes they need to engage in civic and political activity should focus on programmes of citizenship education rather than character education.

description: Given any directed graph E one can construct a graph inverse semigroup G(E), where, roughly speaking, elements correspond to paths in the graph. In this paper we study the semigroup-theoretic structure of G(E). Specifically, we describe the non-Rees congruences on G(E), show that the quotient of G(E) by any Rees congruence is another graph inverse semigroup, and classify the G(E) that have only Rees congruences. We also find the minimum possible degree of a faithful representation by partial transformations of any countable G(E), and we show that a homomorphism of directed graphs can be extended to a homomorphism (that preserves zero) of the corresponding graph inverse semigroups if and only if it is injective.

description: The construction of hypergeometric 2D Toda $τ$-functions as generating functions for quantum Hurwitz numbers is extended here to multispecies families. Both the enumerative geometrical significance of these multispecies quantum Hurwitz numbers as weighted enumerations of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere and their combinatorial significance in terms of weighted paths in the Cayley graph of $S_n$ are derived.

description: There are concerns about the vulnerability of some dominant sclerophyllous species in Mediterranean zones to water restriction, especially at outplanting, and much of the efforts for active restoration are on identifying proper seed sources. This study aimed to determine the short-term responses of growth, biomass partitioning, and leaf-physiological traits of Cryptocarya alba provenances to water restriction in nursery conditions. Three seed sources from xeric sites (northern distribution) and one from a more mesic site (southern distribution) were subjected to water restriction for three months and then evaluated in increments in root collar diameter and height, biomass components (leaves, shoots, roots), gas-exchange and fluorescence parameters, and carbon (Δ13) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopic ratios. Water restriction decreased growth and leaf biomass as a short-term response, but this effect was not expressed in stem and root biomass. Similarly, water restriction decreased the photosynthetic rate (Asat), stomatal conductance (gs), and maximum efficiency of PSII. Moreover, water restriction also increased the intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEint), but it had no effect on Δ13 or δ18O. Seed sources did not differ in any traits except in stem and total biomass. The results did not confirm a better performance of seed sources from xeric than mesic origin sites to water restriction.

description: Stochastic processes of interacting particles with varying length are relevant e.g. for several biological applications. We try to explore what kind of new physical effects one can expect in such systems. As an example, we extend the exclusive queueing process that can be viewed as a one-dimensional exclusion process with varying length, by introducing Langmuir kinetics. This process can be interpreted as an effective model for a queue that interacts with other queues by allowing incoming and leaving of customers in the bulk. We find surprising indications for breaking of ergodicity in a certain parameter regime, where the asymptotic growth behavior depends on the initial length. We show that a random walk with site-dependent hopping probabilities exhibits qualitatively the same behavior.

description: We identify quantitative characteristics of responses to cyber compromises that can be learned from repeatable, systematic experiments. We model a vehicle equipped with an autonomous cyber-defense system and which also has some inherent physical resilience features. When attacked by malware, this ensemble of cyber-physical features (i.e., "bonware") strives to resist and recover from the performance degradation caused by the malware's attack. We propose parsimonious continuous models, and develop stochastic models to aid in quantifying systems' resilience to cyber attacks.

description: Цель – оценка эффективности плазмафереза на этапе прегравидарной подготовки женщин с привычным невынашиванием беременности на фоне антифосфолипидного синдрома на основе частоты выявления
антифосфолипидных антител. Материалы и методы. Исследованы образцы крови 137 пациенток для определения антифосфолипидных антител методом твердофазного иммуноферментного анализа до и после 7 процедур плазмафереза. Результаты. Установлено, что антитела к β2-гликопротеину-1 имелись у 74,5 % пациенток, суммарные антитела к фосфолипидам – у 68,6 %, антитела к кардиолипину – у 35 %, волчаночный антикоагулянт – у 27 %, антитела к β-субъединице хорионического гонадотропина человека – у 19,7 %. Проведение курса процедур плазмафереза снижает частоту выявления антител в 2–3 раза и может быть использовано в прегравидарной подготовке женщин с невынашиванием на фоне антифосфолипидного синдрома.
description: The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of plasmapheresis in preconception care of women
with recurrent miscarriage associated with antiphospholipid syndrome based on the frequency of detection
of antiphospholipid antibodies. Materials and methods. Blood samples of 137 patients were examined to
determine antiphospholipid antibodies using solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before and after
a course of 7 plasmapheresis procedures. Results. The study recorded that 74.5 % of patients had antibodies
to β2-glikoproteinu-1, 68.6 % had total antibodies to phospholipids, 35 % had antibodies to cardiolipin, 27 %
had lupus anticoagulant, and 19.7 % had antibodies to β-subunit human chorionic gonadotropin. The course
of plasmapheresis procedures reduces the frequency of antibody detection by 2–3 times and can be used in
preconception care of women with miscarriage associated with antiphospholipid syndrome.
On the Zitterbewegung Transient Regime in a Coarse-Grained Space-Time

description: In the present contribution, by studying a fractional version of Dirac's equation for the electron, we show that the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung in a coarse-grained medium exhibits a transient oscillatory behavior, rather than a purely oscillatory regime, as it occurs in the integer case, $α=1$. Our result suggests that, in such systems, the Zitterbewegung-type term related to a trembling motion of a quasiparticle is tamed by its complex interactions with other particles and the medium. This can justify the difficulties in the observation of this interesting phenomenon. The possibility that the Zitterbewegung be accompanied by a damping factor supports the viewpoint of particle substructures in Quantum Mechanics.

Neoliberal education? Comparing Character and Citizenship Education in Singapore and Civics and Citizenship Education in Australia

description: Purpose: This paper compares citizenship education in Singapore and Australia. While discussions have been made about education and neoliberalism, few have explored the direct connections between citizenship education and neoliberalism. Approach: Though a discussion of country contexts, citizenship education policies and curriculum, ‘Character and Citizenship Education’ in Singapore and ‘Civics and Citizenship education’ in Australia are examined to explore the meanings of ‘Character education’ and ‘Civics education’ and their connections with ‘Citizenship education’. Findings: The distinct use of terms for citizenship education suggests that the two countries hold different citizenship ideals. Set within the context of globalisation, the paper argues that some approaches towards citizenship education can inadvertently work towards supporting the goals of neoliberalism, which can be at odds with the classical tradition of democracy.
