What Do Human Rights Mean for Citizenship Education?
Creators: name: Fritzsche, K. Peter
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2008
Subjects: Human rights education; citizenship education; rights; responsiblities; changes

description: The article argues that citizenship education and human rights education can be understood as educational responses to specific social and political challenges in different national, regional and global contexts. It outlines four cases: (1) Nbsp; the early German response of civic education; (2) The late British response of citizenship education; (3) The response of EDC within the European framework of the Council of Europe; (4) The response of HRE within the global framework of the UN and the UNESCO. The main aim is to contribute to the necessary clarification of what is shared and what is different of EDC and HRE in this ongoing process of cooperation and integration between the two approaches in Europe.

description: The universal conductance fluctuations of quasi-two-dimensional systems are analyzed with experimental considerations in mind. The traditional statistical metrics of these fluctuations (such as variance) are shown to have large statistical errors in such systems. An alternative characteristic is identified, the inflection point of the correlation function in magnetic field, which is shown to be significantly more useful as an experimental metric and to give a more robust measure of phase coherence.

description: Objective: Electronic health records (EHR) are widely available to complement administrative data-based disease surveillance and healthcare performance evaluation. Defining conditions from EHR is labour-intensive and requires extensive manual labelling of disease outcomes. This study developed an efficient strategy based on advanced large language models to identify multiple conditions from EHR clinical notes. Methods: We linked a cardiac registry cohort in 2015 with an EHR system in Alberta, Canada. We developed a pipeline that leveraged a generative large language model (LLM) to analyze, understand, and interpret EHR notes by prompts based on specific diagnosis, treatment management, and clinical guidelines. The pipeline was applied to detect acute myocardial infarction (AMI), diabetes, and hypertension. The performance was compared against clinician-validated diagnoses as the reference standard and widely adopted International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes-based methods. Results: The study cohort accounted for 3,088 patients and 551,095 clinical notes. The prevalence was 55.4%, 27.7%, 65.9% and for AMI, diabetes, and hypertension, respectively. The performance of the LLM-based pipeline for detecting conditions varied: AMI had 88% sensitivity, 63% specificity, and 77% positive predictive value (PPV); diabetes had 91% sensitivity, 86% specificity, and 71% PPV; and hypertension had 94% sensitivity, 32% specificity, and 72% PPV. Compared with ICD codes, the LLM-based method demonstrated improved sensitivity and negative predictive value across all conditions. The monthly percentage trends from the detected cases by LLM and reference standard showed consistent patterns.

The State of Citizenship Education in Turkey: Past and Present
Creators: name: Çayır, Kenan

Year: 2008
Subjects: Citizenship education; Turkish education; Turkish modernization

description: Citizenship education in Turkey has been a part of the state-centric modernization project involving the transformation of public and private lives of Turkish citizens. Although there has always been a separate course on civics, citizenship education emerges as a cross-curricular theme in the Turkish educational system which aims at creating a self-sacrificing and patriotic citizen. Besides its particularistic content, however, Turkish citizenship education also involves references to a universal conception of citizenship in line with Turkey’s aspiration to be a member of the European Union. This paper presents a historical frame and breaking points for citizenship education in Turkey from its foundation to the present. It critically examines paradoxical content of the current citizenship and human rights education curriculum.

Subjects: Participation; civic engagement; Turkish youth; cultural integration; youth involvement

description: The recent growth of interest in children’s participation in civic life, partly reflected in and stimulated by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), has led to concerns about how to facilitate the involvement and participation of young people in public life and in the public policy process. Young people are fully capable of involvement in community assessment, planning and decision making. Research around the world shows that they gravitate naturally to a purposeful engagement with their surroundings and have strong feelings about the local environments they use everyday. Particularly, living in a foreign cultural context requires more involvement in order to accommodate to the culture. Turkish children and young people living in Germany are dealing with many problems, including their civic engagements. In this research, 40 pre-adolescents were interviewed in order to investigate their cultural participation in Germany. In-depth-interviews are done and analysed. Results show that the young people have a strong wish to be listened, particularly on issues directly affecting their daily lives and activities, their education, school and the environment they live. In this article the results will be discussed and examples will be given.

description: Operating from 1893 to 1919, the Red Deer Industrial School, financed by the federal government and managed by the Methodist Church, became one of a number of institutions designed to inculcate selected Indian students into Euro- Canadian society. Both the government and the church were attempting to address the future of Amerindians especially as their traditional means of livelihood had ended and settlement on the prairies was beginning means of acculturating and Christianizing, civilizing, realized. Education became the principal ensuring that the goals of and "Canadianizing" would be. Yet the federal government never provided the Red Deer Industrial School with sufficient financial resources for the Methodist Church to implement the educational programme. Inadequate funding, directly responsible for the poor quality of staff, also ensured that education would be subordinate to the school's agricultural output. The parents, who were never consulted about the children's education opposed the school's programme and its location.

description: Multiview geometry is the study of two-dimensional images of three-dimensional scenes, a foundational subject in computer vision. We determine a universal Groebner basis for the multiview ideal of n generic cameras. As the cameras move, the multiview varieties vary in a family of dimension 11n-15. This family is the distinguished component of a multigraded Hilbert scheme with a unique Borel-fixed point. We present a combinatorial study of ideals lying on that Hilbert scheme.

description: There has been a long tradition of thinking on Civic Education in Western Germany, mainly after World War II. Aims and means have been discussed thoroughly, experiences in teaching politics (the most common name for the school subject) have been reported on. After the (re-)union of the two Germanies in 1990, Western concepts were brought to and adopted by Eastern Germany. Transformation of civic education (politische Bildung) faces the problem that the democratic system is open to conflicts and competition and does not lead and direct the citizen in an authoritative manner. Democracy asks for different abilities on the side of its citizens than an authoritarian system does. Research data show the difficulties of learning for democracy.

description: We give a proof that the expected counting of strings attached to giant graviton branes in AdS_5 x S^5, as constrained by the Gauss Law, matches the dimension spanned by the expected dual operators in the gauge theory. The counting of string-brane configurations is formulated as a graph counting problem, which can be expressed as the number of points on a double coset involving permutation groups. Fourier transformation on the double coset suggests an ansatz for the diagonalization of the one-loop dilatation operator in this sector of strings attached to giant graviton branes. The ansatz agrees with and extends recent results which have found the dynamics of open string excitations of giants to be given by harmonic oscillators. We prove that it provides the conjectured diagonalization leading to harmonic oscillators.

description: This paper aims to focus the impact of policies on education for citizenship through two research projects pursued in the last ten years on teachers’ perspectives on citizenship education and their relevance for schools and education at large. Moreover, this impact will also be seen through recent policies and state initiatives on citizenship education, as well as on higher education institutions and NGOs in their contribution to these initiatives. These analyses point to the need for a more systematic intervention in teachers’ education on citizenship education and on schools initiatives in this area.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) are advancing into Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), capable of processing image, audio, and video as well as text. Combining first-person video, MLLMs show promising potential for understanding human activities through video and audio, enabling many human-computer interaction and human-augmentation applications such as human activity support, real-world agents, and skill transfer to robots or other individuals. However, handling high-resolution, long-duration videos generates large latent representations, leading to substantial memory and processing demands, limiting the length and resolution MLLMs can manage. Reducing video resolution can lower memory usage but often compromises comprehension. This paper introduces a method that optimizes first-person video analysis by integrating eye-tracking data, and proposes a method that decomposes first-person vision video into sub areas for regions of gaze focus. By processing these selectively gazed-focused inputs, our approach achieves task comprehension equivalent to or even better than processing the entire image at full resolution, but with significantly reduced video data input (reduce the number of pixels to one-tenth), offering an efficient solution for using MLLMs to interpret and utilize human skills.

description: The thesis describes the development and testing of a robust quality control system for GPS navigation and kinematic positioning. The system is built upon the successful combination of well-known classical statistics with modem robust statistics. Good performance in failure detection and identification, minimum implementation effort as well as automation are the main criteria employed in the development of the system. Theoretical and numerical aspects behind the system are presented along with the introduction of important concepts and the derivation of useful equations. The system was tested by applying it to integrity monitoring in GPS navigation and cycle slip detection and identification in GPS kinematic positioning and results show that significant improvements have been achieved as compared to the conventional approach.
Spinor gravity and diffeomorphism invariance on the lattice

description: The key ingredient for lattice regularized quantum gravity is diffeomorphism symmetry. We formulate a lattice functional integral for quantum gravity in terms of fermions. This allows for a diffeomorphism invariant functional measure and avoids problems of boundedness of the action. We discuss the concept of lattice diffeomorphism invariance. This is realized if the action does not depend on the positioning of abstract lattice points on a continuous manifold. Our formulation of lattice spinor gravity also realizes local Lorentz symmetry. Furthermore, the Lorentz transformations are generalized such that the functional integral describes simultaneously euclidean and Minkowski signature. The difference between space and time arises as a dynamical effect due to the expectation value of a collective metric field. The quantum effective action for the metric is diffeomorphism invariant. Realistic gravity can be obtained if this effective action admits a derivative expansion for long wavelengths.

description: In the age of digital scholarship, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) have emerged as powerful infrastructure for tracking research impact within the research community and society. These abstract highlights the value of DOIs in enhancing citation, open research practices, and supporting the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR), with a special focus on reusability.
DOIs, as unique and persistent identifiers, have revolutionized the way academic literature is cited and accessed. By assigning a DOI to scholarly works, including journal articles, datasets, software, and other research outputs/resources, citation tracking becomes significantly more efficient and reliable. The adoption of DOIs enables precise attribution and recognition of research contributions, ensuring that authors receive proper credit for their work and fostering a culture of academic integrity. As a result, DOIs play a critical role in facilitating robust and transparent citation practices, promoting a fair representation of research impact at both the individual and institutional levels.Mohamad Mostafa has delivered this presentation during the 2nd Research Management & Administration Symposium 2023, organised by the The Malaysia Association of Research Managers and Administrators (MyRMA) and hosted at Xiamen University Malaysia, Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia.

description: Delta Sct - gamma Dor hybrids pulsate simultaneously in p- and g-modes, which carry information on the structure of the envelope as well as to the core. Hence they are key objects for investigating A and F type stars with asteroseismic techniques. An important requirement for seismic modeling are small errors in temperature, gravity and chemical composition. Furthermore, we want to investigate the existence of an abundance indicator typical for hybrids, something that is well established for the roAp stars. Previous to the present investigation, the abundance pattern of only one hybrid and another hybrid candidate has been published. We obtained high-resolution spectra of HD 114839 and BD +18 4914 using the SOPHIE spectrograph of the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and the HARPS spectrograph at ESO La Silla. For each star we determined fundamental parameters and photospheric abundances of 16 chemical elements by comparing synthetic spectra with the observations. We compare our results to that of seven delta Sct and nine gamma Dor stars. For the evolved BD +18 4914 we found an abundance pattern typical for an Am star, but could not confirm this peculiarity for the less evolved star HD 114839, which is classified in the literature as uncertain Am star. Our result supports the concept of evolved Am stars being unstable. With our investigation we nearly doubled the number of spectroscopically analyzed delta Sct - gamma Dor hybrid stars, but did not yet succeed in identifying a spectroscopic signature for this group of pulsating stars. A statistically significant spectroscopic investigation of delta Sct - gamma Dor hybrid stars still is missing, but would be rewarding considering the asteroseismological potential of this group.

Year: 2008
Subjects: Citizenship education; transformation; Europeanisation; new institutionalism

description: The present research on the development of citizenship education in (transformation) countries fails to ac-knowledge that systems of citizenship education are political organisations by nature. This research does not analyse citizenship education (CE) as a multi-level, multi-actor and multi-interest system with multiple envi-ronments. The diverse environmental and internal demands addressed to CE actors are also ignored. This paper sees CE as situated and developing in a tension field of diverse and contradicting demands to which each organised CE actor has to respond simultaneously. This especially holds for post-socialist transforma-tion countries but applies as well to “old” democracies which, like the aforementioned, are confronted with the challenges of Europeanisation and migration. A multi-level actor-centred approach, acknowledging actor-specific perspectives, as suggested in this article, is essential for understanding the complex interplay of demands and reactions (talk, decision and action) of different actors and hence the change of CE under the conditions of societal change or transformation.

description: Under dehydration conditions, amphipathic Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins fold spontaneously from a random conformation into alpha-helical structures and this transition is promoted by the presence of membranes. To gain insight into the thermodynamics of membrane association we model the resulting alpha-helical structures as infinite rigid cylinders patterned with hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes oriented parallel to their axis. Statistical thermodynamic calculations using Single Chain Mean Field (SCMF) theory show that the relative thickness of the stripes controls the free energy of interaction of the alpha-helices with a phospholipid bilayer, as does the bilayer structure and the depth of the equilibrium penetration of the cylinders into the bilayer. The results may suggest the optimal thickness of the stripes to mimic the association of such protein with membranes.

description: Density fluctuations of intranuclear matter suffering collisions with projectile particles are capable to turn into multiquark clusters with chiral symmetry restored. Theoretical analysis of these processes requires an additional taking account of finite size effects in the region of the chiral phase transition. From the experimental point of view, this method of observation of the chiral phase transition has its inherent advantages due to a relatively moderate number of secondary particles to be registered.
Does the Democratization of Polities Entail the Democratization of Citizenship Education? A Theoretical Framework for Researching the Democratic Quality of Citizenship Education in Transformation Countries and Elsewhere
Creators: name: Hippe, Thorsten

description: In the last 30 years, the process of institutional democratization prevailing in Western Europe since at least the end of World War II has spread to Southwestern, Southeastern and Eastern European countries. To what extent has this democratic transformation of polities been followed by a genuinely democratic transfor-mation of citizenship education in these countries? Unfortunately, recent research on citizenship education does not provide a satisfactory answer, because it has mainly focused on institutional and organizational issues. Nothing was said about the question how well-sounding, but quite general – and therefore ambigu-ous – officially proclaimed goals and contents of citizenship education in transformation countries are educa-tionally construed in textbooks and the teaching practice. However, there are quite a few empirical examples and indications which clearly show that citizenship education in transformation countries (and elsewhere) shows a number of facets which are hardly in line with core democratic values. Therefore, this article pro-poses a theoretical framework for systematically researching the democratic quality of citizenship education in transformation countries (and elsewhere). With recourse to Max Weber`s analytical concept of ideal-types, this framework differentiates between a democratic and a non-democratic ideal-type of citizenship education (as outer points of a continuum between them). These two ideal-types of citizenship education are character-ized by structurally different ways of thinking about 1) human rights, 2) international relations, 3) current insti-tutions and norms, 4) authoritarian political structures and human rights violations in the history of the coun-try, and 5) differences in society.

Compositions, Random Sums and Continued Random Fractions of Poisson and Fractional Poisson Processes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: In this paper we consider the relation between random sums and compositions of different processes. In particular, for independent Poisson processes $N_α(t)$, $N_β(t)$, $t>0$, we show that $N_α(N_β(t)) \overset{\text{d}}{=} \sum_{j=1}^{N_β(t)} X_j$, where the $X_j$s are Poisson random variables. We present a series of similar cases, the most general of which is the one in which the outer process is Poisson and the inner one is a nonlinear fractional birth process. We highlight generalisations of these results where the external process is infinitely divisible. A section of the paper concerns compositions of the form $N_α(τ_k^ν)$, $ν\in (0,1]$, where $τ_k^ν$ is the inverse of the fractional Poisson process, and we show how these compositions can be represented as random sums. Furthermore we study compositions of the form $Θ(N(t))$, $t>0$, which can be represented as random products. The last section is devoted to studying continued fractions of Cauchy random variables with a Poisson number of levels. We evaluate the exact distribution and derive the scale parameter in terms of ratios of Fibonacci numbers.
“Shut Up When You Talkin with Me.” Civil Education in a Post-Communist Society Challenged by the Institutionalized Public Culture. The Case of Bulgaria

Subjects: Civil education; civil culture; post-communist society; school practices; democratic institution building

description: The paper provides a concise overview of the state of arts of civil education in Bulgaria giving proofs that the contents and values of CE basically contradict the fundamental cultural pattern which is embedded in the institutional design of the school system and the policies of the Ministry of Education. There is a tremendous tension between critical and hypocritical education in democracy. The discrepancy between public “talk” and institutional “action” in civil education is more than overt. This is why the more we concentrate our attention on texts (textbooks, expert publications, manuals for teachers, etc.) the higher level of advancement of CE we will encounter and vice versa – the more we study the school life as practice the less traits of civil culture we register. Hence, the main conclusion is that civil education cannot substitute or get ahead of the democ-ratic institution building; both processes should develop in accord with each other. Or they both would turn out to be abortive.

description: We consider a complete nonnegative biminimal submanifold M (that is, a complete biminimal submanifold with lambda>=0) in a Euclidean space E^N. Assume that the immersion is proper, that is, the preimage of every compact set in E^N is also compact in M. Then, we prove that M is minimal. From this result, we give an affirmative partial answer to Chen's conjecture. For the case of lambda<0, we construct examples of biminimal submanifolds and curves.

description: The importance of maize consumption in Late Woodland southern Manitoba is examined using stable carbon isotope analysis. Archaeological and ethnographic evidence suggest that maize was grown or imported during this period, but give no indication of its dietary importance. Such information can be provided by 613C analysis of human bone collagen from burials of the period. Modem wild plants, archaeological mammals and fish from Lockport, and human burials from Fidler Mounds are assayed. The 613C values of the human sample (-19.2 Â± 1.5Â°/oo, n = 28) do not support significant maize consumption in most individuals, although four (613C = -17.7Â°/oo to -14.00/oo) show tentative evidence for this. 613C values of women from the site are significantly less negative and more dispersed than male values (females: -17.6 Â± 2.2Â°/oo, Males: -19.6 Â± 0.6Â°/oo). This is argued to be the result of intermarriage of a local group with another people consuming a 13C-depleted diet, with incoming females retaining the isotopic signature of their place of origin.

Citizenship Education in Slovenia after the Formation of the Independent State
Creators: name: Krek, Janez
name: Šebart, Mojca Kovač
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2008
Subjects: Citizenship education; civic education; curriculum; religious education; permissiveness; democracy; human rights

description: In the present article we first describe how citizenship education is positioned in the curriculum of pre-university Slovene education. We then analyse the influence of various pedagogical and other concepts in the last fifteen years on the formation of legal provisions and curricular solutions, as well as on actual citizen-ship instruction in the state school. We first establish how influence is exerted – or could be exerted – on citizenship education by the interests of the Roman Catholic Church such that its own subject of denomina-tional religious education is implemented in the state school, along with general implications regarding ques-tions of which values should form the basis of education in the state school. Recently the question of moral education and the educational concept in the state school has come to the fore, and with this also the ques-tion of universal or particular values. In the continuation we analyse how the prevailing permissive paradigm influenced the very concept and implementation of the subject of Ethics and Society in the 1990s, and from the end of the previous decade onwards – after the implementation of curricular reforms – how it has influ-enced the subject of Citizenship Educational and Ethics.

description: We explore a Reissner-Nordström Anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS) black hole with a cloud of string and quintessence to study thermodynamics and thermodynamic topology in the presence of Barrow entropy, which is currently being used widely as the horizon of a black hole may not be a smooth surface as described in classical general relativity but instead could have a more intricate fractal-like structure. Here, we study the impact of the fractal correction parameter of Barrow entropy on the thermodynamics of such BHs. We compute the first law of black hole thermodynamics and the Smarr relation for RN-AdS black hole with a cloud of string and quintessence in terms of Barrow entropy by employing the generalized formula for spherically symmetric spacetime which is directly derived from the Einstein field equation. The significance of Barrow entropy has been verified from thermodynamic topology as well. We also found that the non-zero topological charge indicates the presence of the critical point.

Citizenship Through Faith and Feelings: Defining Citizenship in Citizenship Education. An Exemplary Textbook Analysis
Creators: name: Zimenkova, Tatjana
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2008
Subjects: Citizenship education; citizenship as category; textbook analysis

description: This article describes the specifics of the definition of citizenship in citizenship education (CE). The ambiguity of understanding citizenship between status and active position is indicated and differentiate, and percep-tions of citizenship activity are revealed. The author proposes to build a typology of citizenship conceptions in CE, suggesting an analytical instrument for typology building (types of attitudes, reflected in and crucial for each conception of citizenship). Citizenship conceptions from two Russian textbooks are analysed in order to show reconstruction of their implicit meanings. A proposed analytical instrument for the typology building is applied to the reconstructed citizenship conceptions. The author proposes a demonstrated manner of analysis and typologisation as instruments for international studies on citizenship education.

Strong electron-lattice coupling as the mechanism behind charge density wave transformations in transition-metal dichalcogenides

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider single band of conduction electrons interacting with displacements of the transitional ions. In the classical regime strong enough coupling transforms the harmonic elastic energy for an ion to the one of the well with two deep minima, so that the system is described in terms of Ising spins. Inter-site interactions order spins at lower tempratures. Extention to the quantum regime is discussed. Below the CDW-transition the energy spectrum of electrons remains metallic because the structural vector Q and the FS sizes are not related. Large values of the CDW gap seen in the tunneling experiments correspond to the energy of the minima in the electron-ion two-well complex. The gap is defined through the density of states (DOS) inside the electronic bands below the CDW transition. We focus mainly on electronic properties of transition-metal dichalcogenides.

The Model of Organised Hypocrisy Applied to Romanian Civic Education Policies and Practices
Creators: name: Rus, Calin
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2008
Subjects: Romanian civic education; organised hypocricy; Europeanisation; education policies and practices

description: Behind an apparently positive image, civic education in Romania proves to be an excellent illustration of “organised hypocrisy” (Brunsson, 2002). At a closer look, it becomes obvious that policy decisions related to civic education are isolated responses to various, and often contradictory, pressures from inside and from outside Romania, and that there is a huge gap between policy statements and the school practice, where civic education has a low status and where classical, directive and knowledge-focused pedagogical methods are still widely used.

Predicting pigging operations in oil pipelines

description: This paper presents an innovative machine learning methodology that leverages on long-term vibroacoustic measurements to perform automated predictions of the needed pigging operations in crude oil trunk lines. Historical pressure signals have been collected by Eni (e-vpms® monitoring system) for two years on discrete points at a relative distance of 30-35 km along an oil pipeline (100 km length, 16” ID diameter pipes) located in Northern Italy. In order to speed up the activity and to check the operation logs, a tool has been implemented to automatically highlight the historical pig operations performed on the line. Such a tool is capable of detecting, in the observed pressure measurements, the acoustic noise generated by the travelling pig. All the data sets have been reanalyzed and exploited by using field data validations to guide a decision tree regressor (DTR). Several statistical indicators, computed from pressure head loss between line segments, are fed to the DTR, which automatically outputs probability values indicating the possible need for pigging the pipeline. The procedure is applied to the vibroacoustic signals of each pair of consecutive monitoring stations, such that the proposed predictive maintenance strategy is capable of tracking the conditions of individual pipeline sections, thus determining which portion of the conduit is subject to the highest occlusion levels in order to optimize the clean-up operations. Prediction accuracy is assessed by evaluating the typical metrics used in statistical analysis of regression problems, such as the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
