A comparison of early and middle formative political development in the Soconusco and valley of Oaxaca: settlement mortuary and architectural patterns
Creators: name: Rosenswig, Robert M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Settlement, mortuary and architectural data are used in this thesis to examine the emergence and development of cultural complexity in Early and Middle Formative societies in the Soconusco and Valley of Oaxaca. A model is presented that examines the degree to which a culture is internally or externally focused in order to explore evolutionary process. I posit that there is an inverse relationship between the quantity of energy that is expended on internally focused, intra-polity competition and that which is expended on externally oriented, inter-polity endeavours. The Soconusco data suggest an internally focused political organization that resulted in an early development of political complexity. However, such power was fleeting and populations nucleated around successive political centers across the region, none lasting more than a century or two. Complexity in this region is documented through settlement patterns and the conspicuous consumption of labour reflected in architectural construction, at the heart of each polity. Conversely, data from the Valley of Oaxaca suggest a more externally focused system. San Jose Mogote dominated the political arena for over a thousand years; expanding its size and focus beyond the limits of the valley. Public architecture of a moderate scale and of a more uniform pattern at each site is found throughout the Valley of Oaxaca. Domestic architecture was also modest and underemphasized political and economic differences. The horizontal organization (i.e., internal/external focus) of the two regions affected the rate and form of their respective evolutionary trajectories. Mortuary data from the Early Formative periods of both regions do not reflect the same degree of complexity as the other classes of data and this suggests that when cultural complexity is emerging expressions of social differentiation may lag behind political hierarchy.

Ο PSO έχει αποδειχθεί ότι μπορεί να προσφέρει λύσεις σε δύσκολα προβλήματα βελτιστοποίησης πολλών διαστάσεων. Οι παραλλαγές του που θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε είναι οι BBPSO και BBexpPSO που ειδικεύονται σε διακριτά προβλήματα προγραμματισμού. Το CSA πρόβλημα ανάγεται σε ένα διακριτό πρόβλημα προγραμματισμού και με την βοήθεια των δυο παραλλαγών του PSO μας προσφέρει μια λύση με ελάχιστη κατανάλωση πόρων στην διαχείριση ενός ασύρματου δικτύου.
description: Solving the cell-to-switch assignment problem (CSA) in a wireless network we are working for the reliability and the speed of communications, since the resources used by the network are the minimum possible. The optimization of computational techniques solving CSA problem the last years directs us to use modern algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), that guarantee fast and reliable results.On this work we expound a modern version of PSO algorithm, a robust stochastic computational technique, based on the intelligence and the motion of swarms of particles. PSO has been proved to be capable to provide reliable solutions on multi-dimensional complex programming problems. On this work we use BBPSO and BBexpPSO, as these versions of PSO are specialized in discrete programming problems, such as CSA, and the provided solutions minimize the resources used by the wireless network.
Numerical Study of the Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation for the KPZ-Equation

description: A general framework for the field-theoretic thermodynamic uncertainty relation was recently proposed and illustrated with the $(1+1)$ dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. In the present paper, the analytical results obtained there in the weak coupling limit are tested via a direct numerical simulation of the KPZ equation with good agreement. The accuracy of the numerical results varies with the respective choice of discretization of the KPZ non-linearity. Whereas the numerical simulations strongly support the analytical predictions, an inherent limitation to the accuracy of the approximation to the total entropy production is found. In an analytical treatment of a generalized discretization of the KPZ non-linearity, the origin of this limitation is explained and shown to be an intrinsic property of the employed discretization scheme.

„Öffentlichkeit“ als Imagination und soziale Praktiken. Zur Relevanz einer Schlüsselkategorie Öffentlicher Theologie in digitalen Kontexten
Creators: name: Höhne, Florian
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Gerade die soziale Konkretion von »Öffentlichkeit« als Schlüsselbegriff Öffentlicher Theologie ist umstritten und im digitalen Wandel begriffen. Vor diesem Hintergrund schlage ich vor, Öffentlichkeit praxissoziologisch in Beobachterperspektive als Ensemble sozialer Praktiken und in Teilnehmerperspektive als Imagination zu verstehen, wobei Öffentlichkeit vor allem ambivalente Rezeptions-, Expositions- und Konversationspraktiken bezeichnet. Während Massenmedien Rezeptions- und Expositionspraktiken privilegierten, etablieren digitalen Medien neue Konversationspraktiken. Öffentliche Theologie sollte an der Öffentlichkeitskonstitution mitwirken, in dem sie das Potenzial von Rezeptions- und Expositionspraktiken fördert und prophetische Rede auch als journalistische Exposition von Unrecht versteht. What does public theology’s key-category »public« refer to concretely? The answer is contested and in flux due to the digital transformation. This article suggest to understand »public« in terms of a theory of social practice as practice and social imaginary that informs those practices. In particular, »public« refers to ambivalent practices of exposure, reception, and conversations. While mass media foster exposure and reception, the rise of digital media included new practices of conversation. On this background, public theology should foster the positive potential of practices of exposure and reception and understand »prophetic speech« also in terms of journalistic practices of exposing injustice.

description: Viele Konzepte öffentlicher Theologie verweisen auf die biblischen Texte als eine der Quellen, aus der öffentliche Theologien ihre spezifische christliche Botschaft im Gegenüber zur Gesellschaft schöpfen. Der Aufsatz untersucht zum einen Konzepte öffentlicher Theologie aus unterschiedlichen Kontexten auf ihre schrifthermeneutischen Überlegungen. Zum anderen werden in vier Thesen Grundlinien einer Schrifthermeneutik öffentlicher Theologie entwickelt, die sich einem zeugnishaften und diskursiven Verständnis öffentlicher Theologie verpflichtet weiß. Many concepts of public theology refer to Scripture as one of the sources of public theology. Scripture is identified as one source for the specific impulse of theology to societal issues. The paper firstly examines different concepts of public theology from various contexts on their understanding of Scripture. Secondly, the author discusses basic principles of a public theological hermeneutics of Scripture, committed to an understanding of public theology as witness and public discourse.

Gott und Mensch in der Öffentlichkeit: Zur Sakramentalität des Säkularen

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen

description: Dieser Artikel stellt die öffentliche Theologie in ihrem positiven Bezug zur liberalen Demokratie, deren Legitimation und Gedeihen von lebendigen zivilgesellschaftlichen Diskursen abhängt, vor. Zu diesen Diskursen, die sich auf säkulare, für alle prinzipiell verständliche Angelegenheiten beschränken sollen, möchte die öffentliche Theologie dezidiert christliche Beiträge leisten. Mit Henri de Lubac und Edward Schillebeeckx ziehe ich zwei Theologen heran, die das hier verwendete Verständnis der Säkularität aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen als reduktionistisch kritisieren, sofern das Säkulare mit dem Immanenten gleichgesetzt wird. Positiv folgt dieser Kritik ein weiterreichendes Verständnis des spezifisch christlichen Beitrags zum zivilgesellschaftlichen Leben eines politischen Gemeinwesens. This article introduces public theology in its positive relation to liberal democracies. The legitimation and flourishing of the latter depend on vibrant discourses at the level of civil society. Public theology seeks to contribute particularly Christian insights to these discourses, which are intrinsically restricted to secular matters, in the sense of those matters that are principally comprehensible by every member of society. Drawing on Henri de Lubac and Edward Schillebeeckx, I criticize this understanding of secularity for being reductive, inasmuch as the secular is seen to be identical with the immanent. Consequently, I argue for a more comprehensive understanding of a particularly Christian contribution to political destiny of contemporary societies.

description: We classify simple Whittaker modules for classical Lie superalgebras in terms of their parabolic decompositions. We establish a type of Miličić-Soergel equivalence of a category of Whittaker modules and a category of Harish-Chandra bimodules. For classical Lie superalgebras of type I, we reduce the problem of composition factors of standard Whittaker modules to that of Verma modules in their BGG categories $\mathcal O$. As a consequence, the composition series of standard Whittaker modules over the general linear Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ and the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{osp}(2|2n)$ can be computed via the Kazhdan-Lusztig combinatorics.

This documentation provides a list and detailed description of supplementary output statistics that will be implemented in order to enable the science of WP9.

Work package in charge

WP8, Storms & Land

Executive summary

This documentation provides a description of supplementary output diagnostics that were implemented, either online in the two NextGEMS models or offline as a postprocessing step, in order to enable the science of WP9 and the pilot project on solar power (task 8.4).

Conclusion & Results

The planned science of WP9 requires the computation of blocking indices, extreme indices as well as fire weather indices, whereas the pilot project on solar energy requires information on solar power. We ensured first that the necessary variables to compute these indices and to conduct the pilot project on solar energy are outputted in the two NextGEMS models at the requested temporal and spatial resolution. When not present, we added new variables in the output, such as potential vorticity or solar radiation in different wavelengths. Second, we prepared/collected postprocessing routines so that the indices can be computed in a postprocessing step using the outputted variables as input. Those postprocessing routines are either pythonbased routines, that can be freely downloaded from git repositories, or already existing functions from freely available software.

Konturen Öffentlicher Theologie im Werk David Tracys

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Mit David Tracy lassen sich nicht nur die historischen Wurzeln Öffentlicher Theologie freilegen, sondern auch einige Gründe für ihre in der Katholischen Theologie bis dato sehr verhaltene Rezeption namhaft machen. Die ursprünglich auf Tracy zurückgehende Unterscheidung von drei für die Theologie relevanten Öffentlichkeiten (Kirche, Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft) fügt der Systematische Theologe jüngst eine weitere dreigliedrige Differenzierung hinzu, bei der er unterschiedliche Vernunftkonzeptionen mit entsprechenden Öffentlichkeiten korreliert. Aus seiner intensiven Beschäftigung mit der Gottesthematik erwächst Tracys Plädoyer für eine Öffentlichkeitsform (neben anderen), in der die mystisch-prophetischen Ressourcen zugänglich sind, was unweigerlich eine ›Dehnung‹ des Vernunftbegriffs nach sich zieht. With David Tracy, one may not only discover some of public theology’s roots but also learn the reasons for its limited reception in Catholic Theology up to now (particularly regarding German Catholic Theology). Initially, Tracy had introduced the three publics to which the theologian need to attend (church, academy, society). More recently, the systematic theologian Tracy added yet another three-part distinction in which he correlates various publics with different notions of reason. After having done intensive and long-standing studies on the question of God, Tracy makes a special case for a public in which mystical-prophetic traditions are made accessible – this, however, implies an expanded notion of rationality.

description: Star polymers can exhibit a heterogeneous dynamical behavior due to their internal structure. In this work we employ atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study translational motion in non-entangled polystyrene and poly(ethylene oxide) star-shaped melts. We focus on the local heterogeneous dynamics originating from the multi-arm star-like architecture and quantify the intramolecular dynamical gradient. By examining the translational motion at length scales of the order of the Kuhn length, we aim to find common features for both studied chemistries and to provide a critical and direct comparison with theoretical models of polymer dynamics. We discuss the observed tendencies with respect to the continuous Rouse model adjusted for the star-like architectures. Two versions of the Rouse model are examined: one assuming uniform friction on every Rouse bead and another one considering larger branch point friction. Apart from chain connectivity between neighboring beads, both versions disregard interactions between the chains. Despite the tolerable description of the simulation data, neither model appears to reflect the mobility gradient accurately. The detailed quantitative atomistic models employed here bridge the gap between the theoretical and general, coarse-granined models of star-like polymers which lack the indispensable chemical details.
Öffentliche Theologie. Eine lutherische Aneignung

description: Als wissenschaftliches Forschungsparadigma, das seinen Hauptfokus auf die Reflexion der vielfältigen Interdependenzen von Religion und Öffentlichkeiten richtet, ist Öffentliche Theologie grundsätzlich offen für unterschiedliche religiöse und konfessionelle Aneignungen. Der vorliegende Beitrag nährt sich dem Paradigma aus evangelisch-lutherischer Perspektive, indem er aufzeigt, inwiefern Öffentliche Theologie eine für die Gegenwart besonders anschlussfähige Interpretation von Martin Luthers politischer Ethik erschließt und deren theologische Anliegen in besonderem Maße unter den Bedingungen einer modernen Demokratie im 21. Jahrhunderts zur Geltung bringen kann. As a scientific research paradigm that focuses primarily on the reflection of the diverse interdependencies between religion and public spheres, Public Theology is naturally open to different religious and denominational appropriations. The present article seeks to appropriate the paradigm from a Protestant-Lutheran perspective by showing how Public Theology provides a contemporary interpretation of Martin Luther's political ethics. In this context, the paper argues that Public Theology can particularly emphasize the theological concerns of Lutheran political ethics in a modern democracy of the 21st century?

»Wie spricht die Kirche zu unserer Welt?« Von Charles Taylors ›Bewohnenden‹ und ›Suchenden‹ und deren Bedeutung für die Kirche.
Creators: name: Faix, Tobias
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Kaum einer hat die religiösen Veränderungsprozesse der Gegenwart so treffend beschrieben wie Charles Taylor. In diesem Beitrag möchte ich seiner Grundthese der Säkularität folgen und fragen, was dies für Kirche in der Öffentlichkeit bedeutet („Wie spricht die Kirche zu unserer Welt?“). So wie die Säkularisierung nicht das Ende der Religion im öffentlichen Raum ist, so sind die Kirchenaustritte nicht das Ende der Kirche. Aber beide Entwicklungen hängen miteinander zusammen und bieten für Religion und Kirche neue Chancen und Herausforderungen. Diese sollen exemplarisch an Taylors Analyse von den ‚Suchenden‘ und den ‚Bewohnenden’ aufgezeigt werden. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die bisherigen Grenzen der beiden Gruppen (wie z.B. durch die Kirchenmitgliedschaft) zunehmend an Bedeutung verlieren und beide Gruppen in Bewegung aufeinander zu sind. Dadurch entstehen Zwischenräume, die kirchliche Arbeit in Zukunft verändern wird. Hardly anyone has described the religious transformation of the present as accurately as Charles Taylor. In this contribution, I would like to follow his basic theory of secularity and ask what this means for the church in public ("How does the church speak to our world?"). Just as secularization is not the end of religion in public space, so church leavings are not the end of the church. But both developments are interrelated and offer new opportunities and challenges for religion and the church. Taylor's analysis of the 'seekers' and the 'dwellers' will serve as examples to illustrate these. It becomes clear that the previous boundaries of the two groups (e.g. through church membership) are becoming less and less important and that both groups are moving towards each other. This creates spaces in between which will change church work in the future.

description: We define the infinite dimensional simplex to be the closure of the convex hull of the standard basis vectors in R^infinity, and prove that this space has the 'fixed point property': any continuous function from the space into itself has a fixed point. Our proof is constructive, in the sense that it can be used to find an approximate fixed point; the proof relies on elementary analysis and Sperner's lemma. The fixed point theorem is shown to imply Schauder's fixed point theorem on infinite-dimensional compact convex subsets of normed spaces.

description: Quantum graphity is a background independent model for emergent locality, spatial geometry and matter. The states of the system correspond to dynamical graphs on N vertices. At high energy, the graph describing the system is highly connected and the physics is invariant under the full symmetric group acting on the vertices. We present evidence that the model also has a low-energy phase in which the graph describing the system breaks permutation symmetry and appears to be ordered, low-dimensional and local. Consideration of the free energy associated with the dominant terms in the dynamics shows that this low-energy state is thermodynamically stable under local perturbations. The model can also give rise to an emergent U(1) gauge theory in the ground state by the string-net condensation mechanism of Levin and Wen. We also reformulate the model in graph-theoretic terms and compare its dynamics to some common graph processes.

description: Transport of molecular motors, stimulated by interactions with specific links between consecutive binding sites (called ``bridges''), is investigated theoretically by analyzing discrete-state stochastic ``burnt-bridge'' models. When an unbiased diffusing particle crosses the bridge, the link can be destroyed (``burned'') with a probability $p$, creating a biased directed motion for the particle. It is shown that for probability of burning $p=1$ the system can be mapped into one-dimensional single-particle hopping model along the periodic infinite lattice that allows one to calculate exactly all dynamic properties. For general case of $p<1$ a new theoretical method is developed, and dynamic properties are computed explicitly. Discrete-time and continuous-time dynamics, periodic and random distribution of bridges and different burning dynamics are analyzed and compared. Theoretical predictions are supported by extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations. Theoretical results are applied for analysis of the experiments on collagenase motor proteins.

description: Ο Αριστοτέλης θεωρεί την ψυχική ενέργεια ως λειτουργία ζωτικής σημασίας για κάθε ενόργανο ον. Για τον Αριστοτέλη η ψυχή δεν βρίσκεται έξω από τον κόσμο, ούτε είναι ανεξάρτητη από το ον, όπως πρεσβεύει ο Πλάτωνας. Αντίθετα, είναι αυτό με το οποίο ζούμε, αισθανόμαστε και σκεπτόμαστε. Η ψυχή και το σώμα είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένα μεταξύ τους. Ο Θωμάς ο Ακινάτης είναι βαθειά επηρεασμένος από τα έργα του Αριστοτέλη. Οπως και ο Αριστοτέλης, θα ασχοληθεί και αυτός με την ψυχή για να συμφωνίσει με τον δεύτερο, στο ότι ψυχή και σώμα, συγκροτούν ένα ενιαίο όλο, μια ενιαία φύση. Ο Θωμάς ο Ακινάτης, στο υπόμνημά του για το έργο "Περί Ψυχής" του Αριστοτέλη, συλλαμβάνει τη σχέση ψυχής και σώματος μέσα από το εννοιολογικό αριστοτελικό σχήμα μορφής και ύλης, στο οποίο μένει προσκολλημένος.
description: Aristotle considers energy of soul as a function of vital meaning to every instrumental being. For Aristotle soul isn't out of world or out of being as Plato says. On the contrary, it is the thing we live, we feel and think with. Soul and body are bounded together. Thomas dominate is deeply governed of Aristotle's work. As Aristotle do his research about soul and he'll agree with the second one that soul and body make a united whole, united nature. Thomas d' Aquinate at his commentary to Aristotle's "De anima", conceives the relation between soul and body through the conceptual Aristotle's meaning of form and material on which he stucks.

description: From a geometric perspective, the caustic is the most classical description of a wavefunction since its evolution is governed by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. On the other hand, according to the Madelung-de Broglie-Bohm equations, the most classical description of a solution to the Schrödinger equation is given by the zeros of the Madelung-Bohm potential. In this work, we compare these descriptions and, by analyzing how the rays are organized over the caustic, we find that the wavefunctions with fold caustic are the most classical beams because the zeros of the Madelung-Bohm potential coincide with the caustic. For another type of beams, the Madelung-Bohm potential is in general distinct to zero over the caustic. We have verified these results for the one-dimensional Airy and Pearcey beams, which accordingly to the catastrophe theory, their caustics are stable. Finally, we remark that for certain cases, the zeros of the Madelung-Bohm potential are linked with the superoscillation phenomenon.

description: We study the influence of particle shape anisotropy on the occurrence of avalanches in sheared granular media. We use molecular dynamic simulations to calculate the relative movement of two tectonic plates. % with transform boundaries. Our model considers irregular polygonal particles constituting the material within the shear zone. We find that the magnitude of the avalanches is approximately independent on particle shape and in good agreement with the Gutenberg-Richter law, but the aftershock sequences are strongly influenced by the particle anisotropy yielding variations on the exponent characterizing the empirical Omori's law. Our findings enable one to identify the presence of anisotropic particles at the macro-mechanical level only by observing the avalanche sequences of real faults. In addition, we calculate the probability of occurrence of an avalanche for given values of stiffness or frictional strength and observe also a significant influence of the particle anisotropy.

description: The enormous range of X-ray luminosities among elliptical galaxies with similar optical luminosities can be attributed to large scatter and systematic variations in the dark halo mass determined from X-ray observations. The mean halo mass decreases sharply with both the X-ray and K-band luminosities. Smaller halos contain less diffuse hot gas and have lower X-ray luminosities. In addition the hot gas in low mass halos is more easily depleted by supernova-driven outflows, further lowering the X-ray luminosity.

Odour production and oxygen consumption under controlled composting conditions

description: Odour emissions from compost facilities can be a public nuisance that causes problems for the operators in the business. Reducing odours, by controlling the compost process, is not clearly understood, and this was the focus of this project. If the production rate is compromised by these modifications, then it would be useful to know a quantitative estimate of the effect. Experiments were run to evaluate the independent influence of oxygen concentration, temperature and enrichment inoculation on odour concentration and emission rate produced by compost. The air flow rate and the oxygen concentration provide an estimate of the production rate as calculated from the oxygen uptake rate. The experiment was a complete 3X2 factorial, with a face-centre point for the non-enrichment inoculation. The results show that there was a significant effect due to inoculation and temperature, on the odour emission rate and on the air flow rate, but not on the odour concentration. The oxygen concentration factor was consistently the most influential treatment on the odour concentration, the air flow rate, and the odour emission rate, however the confidence level for the odour concentration was always low, due to the high variability of human olfactories. The oxygen uptake rate remained constant from 6% to 16% oxygen, and decreased by about 10% from 55°C to 69°C. This change was small when compared to the decrease in odour emission rate of 50%, over the same temperature range. Odour concentrations varied from 1700 to 10,000 dilutions to threshold, for a mixture of vegetable wastes and poultry manure. The enrichment inoculation caused odour concentrations to increase, which is the opposite of what was expected. The results of the experiment are used to suggest improvement methods to commercial scale composting, with the understanding that there is limited accuracy.

description: Aims. Despite photometry and spectroscopy of its oscillations obtained over the past 25 years, the pulsation frequency spectrum of the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star gamma Equ has remained poorly understood. Better time-series photometry, combined with recent advances to incorporate interior magnetic field geometry into pulsational models, enable us to perform improved asteroseismology of this roAp star. Methods. We obtained 19 days of continuous high-precision photometry of gamma Equ with the MOST (Microvariability & Oscillations of STars) satellite. The data were reduced with two different reduction techniques and significant frequencies were identified. Those frequencies were fitted by interpolating a grid of pulsation models that include dipole magnetic fields of various polar strengths. Results. We identify 7 frequencies in gamma Equ that we associate with 5 high-overtone p-modes and 1st and 2nd harmonics of the dominant p-mode. One of the modes and both harmonics are new discoveries for this star. Our best model solution (1.8 M_sun, log T_eff ~ 3.882; polar field strength ~8.1 kG) leads to unique mode identifications for these frequencies (ell = 0, 1, 2 and 4). This is the first purely asteroseismic fit to a grid of magnetic models. We measure amplitude and phase modulation of the primary frequency due to beating with a closely spaced frequency which had never been resolved. This casts doubts on theories that such modulation - unrelated to the rotation of the star - is due to a stochastic excitation mechanism.

description: Πρωταρχικός σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να συνεισφέρει στο γενικότερο προβληματισμό των εκπαιδευτικών που καλούνται να ανταποκριθούν στις απαιτήσεις του σχολικού μαθήματος της λογοτεχνίας και προσπαθούν να κρύψουν την αμηχανία τους για το ασφυκτικό του πλαίσιο, τη μηχανιστική του προσέγγιση, το σοβαροφανή και ελιτιστικό του προσανατολισμό. Τα στοιχεία αυτά, φυσικά, δεν χαρακτηρίζουν μόνο το μάθημα της λογοτεχνίας, αλλά αγγίζουν συνολικά το θεσμό της σχολικής εκπαίδευσης. Ετσι, το θεωρητικό μέρος της εργασίας εντοπίζει την ανάγκη να αναβαθμιστεί η διδασκαλία της Τέχνης στα Αναλυτικά προγράμματα και να προωθηθεί ο ενεργητικός στοχασμός εκπαιδευτικών και μαθητών σε ότι θεωρείται εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία με βασικό άξονα τη συμπαραγωγή γνώσης που θα έχει νόημα και θα απελευθερώνει το εμπειρικό και συναισθηματικό απόθεμα των μαθητών. Το ερευνητικό μέρος περιγράφει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο εξελίχθηκε ο διδακτικός σχεδιασμός σε διδακτική και μαθησιακή πράξη, παρουσιάζοντας την έρευνα δράσης με τη μορφή ενός project το οποίο ανέλαβαν και ολοκλήρωσαν οι μαθητές με θέμα τον έρωτα. Με το σκεπτικό αυτό, η έρευνα δράσης μετατρέπεται σε μια μορφή διδασκαλίας και το ανάποδο, συνδυάζοντας διδασκαλία και έρευνα σε μια δραστηριότητα με βασικές επιδιώξεις τη βελτίωση και τη συμμετοχή. Το project αξιολογήθηκε και από τους ίδιους τους μαθητές, και στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο παρατίθενται τα συνολικά συμπεράσματα.
description: Teachers who try to teach literature, face great difficulties. They tend to be more and more nervous with the stifling educational system, while trying to hide their lack of new and efficient ideas. The whole institution of school education is under serious critique. Our theoretical part underlines the necessity of upgrading the teaching of Art in the official curriculum and of supporting the active reflection of students and teachers in order to construct meaningful knowledge, which liberates their emotions and skills. Theory turning into action is described in the research part. Our students have decided to take up a project about love, a rare opportunity for the teacher to start an action-research. Teaching and researching have been combined into the same activity with the aspiration of improvement and participation. The project has been evaluated by the students and the most important conclusions have been indicated in the last chapter.
