description: Knowledge creation is of high importance for organizations that are characterized with knowledge-intense work to reach and sustain organizational advantage. However, sharing and managing codified, externalized knowledge for further development within groups has shown to be cumbersome and challenging. Within this proposition paper we suggest a model based on the seeding – evolutionary growth – reseeding model which is adapted for collaborative work settings and describes the development of knowledge assets. We argue that knowledge management can benefit and further increase team performance when the appropriate time for management intervention can be predicted. For this purpose parameters, determining the development of explicated knowledge, need to be applied so that knowledge artifacts but also reoccurring collaboration processes ready for combination can be detected. By combining existing knowledge assets new knowledge can be created which can be “re”-seeded within the same or another similar collaborative setting.

description: The 3+1 Hamiltonian Einstein equations, reduced by imposing two commuting spacelike Killing vector fields, may be written as the equations of the $SL(2,R)$ principal chiral model with certain `source' terms. Using this formulation, we give a procedure for generating an infinite number of non-local constants of motion for this sector of the Einstein equations. The constants of motion arise as explicit functionals on the phase space of Einstein gravity, and are labelled by sl(2,R) indices.

description: Competence development of knowledge workers is a primary concern at the crossroads between human resource development (HRD) and knowledge management. HRD needs to facilitate competence development for self-organised knowledge workers and to align it with organisational goals. The aim of this paper is to support decision makers in allocating knowledge management and e-learning efforts in HRD. Motivated by a case study and its identified knowledge work practices, we propose a mathematical model optimising the allocation of workers to competence development measures. The suggested model is intended to support HRD decision making. Moreover, the paper discusses challenges of the identified knowledge work practice that could not be addressed and presents suggestions for extensions of the model that may solve these additional challenges.

description: For many years, Poland has been looking for a new taxation structure for income from agricultural activities in place of the agricultural tax which is still a basic burden for Polish farms. The study presents the results of the tax awareness analysis carried out in the selected group of farmers i.e. those involved in the cow’s milk production (32), so as to conclude, on this basis, on the assessment of tax fiscalism among this professional group. Tax burdens, both within the entire taxation system, as well as within new tax solutions, are perceived and expressed in a subjective way. The overall assessment of the tax system in terms of social expectations and reactions is dependent on, inter alia, the level of education of taxpayers, legal awareness, prevailing attitudes towards taxation. The results of the presented studies have shown a low level of tax awareness among farmers. The primary source of knowledge on taxes, including tax reliefs, are other farmers and information from tax authorities. The fiscal burden of taxes paid for the analysed group of farmers is not large. Few of them consider the following taxes as at least significant fiscal burden: agricultural tax (21.9%), real property tax (21.9%) or forestry tax (3.1%). According to the surveyed, the reasons for non-payment of taxes are mainly economic. The respondents consider the agricultural tax structure as appropriate. Most of the surveyed (56.3%) hold a negative attitude towards introducing the income tax on farmers and their agricultural activity. If it was to be introduced, it should be accompanied by tax reliefs, associated mainly with crisis situations, as well as investment allowances and reliefs dependent on the farm size. Despite modernisation or acquisition of new land incorporated into their farms, some farmers have not used an investment allowance. The reason for this state of affairs was, inter alia, the lack of knowledge on the suitable legislation. Farmers have a poor knowledge on the methods of paying tax liabilities and mostly do not use them. Almost all (93.8%) farmers know the possibility of recovering some funds spent on diesel fuel used for the agricultural production on a basis of invoices presented. Few (6.3%) believe that the current limit of excise tax refund is satisfactory. More than 31% of the surveyed use professional assistance (mainly accounting offices) as regards implementing obligations related to VAT settlement. The selection of the settlement method is conditioned economically.

description: Recent theoretical studies suggest the existence of low-mass zero-metal stars in the current universe. In order to study the basic properties of the atmosphere of low-mass first stars, we performed one dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations for the heating of coronal loops on low-mass stars with various metallicities. While the simulated loops are heated up to >$10^6$ K by the dissipation of Alfvenic waves originating from the convective motion irrespectively of the metallicity, the coronal properties sensitively depend on the metallicity. Lower-metal stars create hotter and denser coronae because the radiative cooling is suppressed. The zero-metal star gives more than ten times higher coronal density than the solar-metallicity counterpart, and as a result, the UV and X-ray fluxes from the loop are (1-5) times higher than those of the solar metallicity star. We also discuss the dependence of the coronal properties on the length of the simulated coronal loops

description: We study a harmonically-confined Bose-Einstein condensate under rotation. Vortex lattice configurations are investigated through a variational approach. Vortices with more than a unit of angular momentum are not stable. We explicitly show that the critical rotational frequency is quite small, as was reported in the MIT experiment. The width of the condensate in the xy plane and along z, and the vortex density are determined as functions of the rotational frequency. The aspect ratio becomes small for large rotational frequencies, making the condensate an effectively two-dimensional system.

description: The issue of profitability of the agricultural production is often discussed within the framework of the problems of agricultural economics. The study showed a diversification in the profitability of the milk production depending on the cow herd’s size and identified the main determinants of positive economic results. The studies were conducted on commodity farms, which have been grouped according to the production scale, the criterion of scale was the number of dairy cows in the herd. Three scale ranges have been identified, i.e. small, medium and large. The data of 2014 and 2017 was used for the analysis. What was examined was the effectiveness of feeding cows in the identified farm groups and the technical and economic efficiency of the milk production. The full costs of the milk production (i.e. economic costs) were assessed and income from management activity was calculated. The results of the analyses show that as the number of cows in the herd increases, their milk yield and the price of milk are increasing. Farms with a large number of cows in the herd incurred the lowest full costs of the milk production, while obtaining the highest income from management activity per 1 cow and per 1 litre of milk. The measure of the milk production’s economic efficiency was the profitability index (revenues-to-economic costs ratio), the highest was recorded for the large-scale milk production, for the small scale this index did not exceed the profitability threshold.

description: The study shows a comparative analysis of areas (communes) with a varying level of saturation with high nature value utilised agricultural area (HNV UAA) and assessed the functioning of farms from these areas in Poland. Firstly, three groups of communes differing in terms of the share of HNV UAA in the total area were identified. The first group were communes with the share of HNV UAA in the total area amounting to less than 10% (1st group communes), the second – communes with the share of HNV UAA equal to or higher than 10% and lower than 40% (2nd group communes), and the third – communes with the share of HNV UAA of at least 40% (3rd group communes). In these communes, the assessment covered the average number of farms along with their average UAA, percentage (%) of communes with farms having the average UAA equal to or higher than the Polish average, as well as the change in % in the population and the share in % in the communes where the population decreased by at least 5% in 2004-2017 and their average agricultural production area valorisation index (APAV). Then, the assessment of functioning covered 2878 farms with crop, livestock and mixed (crop and livestock) production from those communes which have continuously kept accounts for the Polish FADN system in 2014- -2016. This assessment took account of their production potential, production organisation, land and labour productivity and income per 1 FWU. The study used the data from the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR), the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation State Research Institute (IUNG-PIB), data from farms keeping accounts for the Polish FADN in 2014-2016 as well as literature data.

We study an alternative one-parameter family of coherent states of the theory in which the large quantum gravity effects on the metric can be diminished, at the expense of losing coherence in the matter sector. Which set of states is the one that occurs in nature will determine if the large quantum gravity effects are actually observable as wild fluctuations of the metric or rapid loss of coherence of matter fields.

Reflective Teacher Narratives: The Merging of Practical Wisdom, Narrative, and Teaching

Subjects: Education--Philosophy

Education, Elementary

description: Responding to current concerns about the quality of public education, in this dissertation I look at teacher development. Specifically, I take up the question: how do we promote teacher flourishing? Though the "we" refers to anyone with a vested interest in education, my primary audience is teachers, administrators, and teacher educators. From this lens I investigate questions of how the teaching life can connect the teacher to the good life. I address this from two perspectives. More broadly, I ask: How can we support the teacher in a manner that contributes to his or her achievement of the good life? Focusing on more specific practices: How can we support the teacher to achieve success in the role of teacher? I assert that teaching is complex work that requires a professional who knows the content taught, has a deep understanding of individual students, and utilizes a host of methods for conveying information and creating community within a classroom. I will argue that the successful teacher depends on what has been defined as practical wisdom--knowing what knowledge to apply to a given situation and how best to apply it.
      Having argued the relevance of practical wisdom in teaching, the remaining chapters will look more closely at how those concerned with teacher education might help teachers develop it.  Specifically, I will first explore:
      *	How can practical wisdom be cultivated in teachers? (Chapter 2)
      *	How does narrative promote practical wisdom? (Chapter 3)
      *	How do narratives about teaching referred to as Reflective Teacher Narratives in particular promote practical wisdom? (Chapter 4)
      Reflective Teacher Narratives are first person narratives written by teachers about their classrooms. The texts focus on individual students, follow a plot, and highlight the teacher's strengths and areas of difficulty. Ultimately, I will conclude that reading Reflective Teacher Narratives support teacher flourishing by providing a means of looking closely at both teachers' practices and thinking. Reflective Teacher Narratives also provide the scaffolding for a means of talking with teachers that supports development and affirms the teacher.

description: Motivated by growing indications for a distinct form of nematic correlations in the extremely hole doped iron pnictide compounds $A$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($A$=K,Rb,Cs), we consider spin-driven nematic order in the general case of incommensurate magnetic fluctuations. We classify the nematic order parameters by broken mirror symmetries of the tetragonal $D_{4h}$ point group, and use this scheme to construct a general Ginzburg-Landau theory that links the nematic order to spatial pattern of magnetic fluctuations. Our analysis points to incommensurate magnetic fluctuations of wavevector $(q,q)$ as underlying a $B_{2g}$ nematic order in $A$Fe$_2$As$_2$. We substantiate this idea by microscopic calculations of the nematic order based on 3-sublattice $(2π/3,2π/3)$ spin correlations in an extended bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model. We summarize the existing evidence in support of the proposed mechanism, suggest ways to further test it in future experiments, and discuss the implications of our results for iron-based high temperature superconductivity.

Reforming Categories of Science and Religion in the Late Ottoman Empire

Year: 2016
Subjects: Turkish literature

description: This dissertation shows that ideas of science and religion are not transhistorical by presenting a longue durée study of conceptions of science and religion in the Ottoman Empire. I demonstrate that the idea of science(s) was subject to a tectonic change over the course of a few centuries, namely between the early modern and modern period. Even within a specific epoch, conception of science and religion were in no way monolithic, as evidenced by the diversity of approaches to these categories in the early modern period. To point out continuity and change in the ideas of science and religion, I study classifications of sciences in the early modern Ottoman Empire, by comparing two works; one by Yahya Nev‘î and the other by Saçaklızâde Muhammed el-Mar‘aşî. Nev‘î wrote from the context of the court in Istanbul, while Saçaklızâde represented the madrasa environment in an Anatolian province, thus providing a contrast in their orders of knowledge. In addition, the dissertation includes a study of the concept of "jihat al-waḥda" (aspect of unity) of science, as discussed by commentators from the early modern period. After first providing a textual genealogy, I argue that this concept reveals the dominant paradigm of scientific thinking during this period. The last two chapters of the dissertation deal with modern Ottoman history. The third chapter analyzes Ahmed Cevdet Pasha's (d. 1895) translation of Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah into the Ottoman Turkish in order to show the shift in the conception of science in the mid-nineteenth century. I demonstrate both continuity and a break between the thought of Ibn Khaldun and Ahmed Cevdet Pasha. In the fourth chapter, I draw upon archival documents, a scientific journal, and a correspondence between two intellectuals namely Fatma Aliye and Ahmed Midhat, to point out that science, religion, and politics were separated as a consequence of state regulations over publications and civil societies together with other institutional reforms and educational policies. The dissertation raises questions about the historiography of science in the modern period, which takes the modern idea of science for granted and projects it back on to the earlier periods. Noting the anachronistic and presentist approach to the early modern period, the dissertation calls for a new kind of historiography that not only goes beyond our modern biases but learns from past experiences by seriously engaging them.
Application of SWOT-C analysis and state-and-transition modeling to the design of reclamation plans for abandoned or operating mines in British Columbia

description: SWOT - C (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats, and Constraints) analysis is a structured planning method that evaluates the important elements of an ecologically-based project and provides a framework for organizing data collection and synthesizing available information. In terms of ecological restoration, strengths are factors such as remnant patches of undisturbed vegetation that can be considered assets. Weaknesses are deficiencies or stressors such as erosion, sedimentation, and contamination that can cause problems. Opportunities are important factors for the practitioner to restore ecosystem structure and function. Threats are undesirable issues, challenges, or trends that may cause further ecosystem degradation. Constraints are environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic limitations.State-and-transition models (STMs) are compartment diagrams and associated narratives that can be used to describe changes in ecosystem properties (i.e., composition, structure, and function) and the mechanisms by which a developing ecosystem transitions from one developmental state to another. The narratives and diagrams can be generated using (1) historical information, (2) local and professional knowledge, (3) general ecological knowledge, and (4) relevant monitoring or experimental data. These tools when combined can yield effective, holistic, and ecologically based mine reclamation plans.

description: We present a perfect simulation algorithm for stationary processes indexed by Z, with summable memory decay. Depending on the decay, we construct the process on finite or semi-infinite intervals, explicitly from an i.i.d. uniform sequence. Even though the process has infinite memory, its value at time 0 depends only on a finite, but random, number of these uniform variables. The algorithm is based on a recent regenerative construction of these measures by Ferrari, Maass, Mart{\'ı}nez and Ney. As applications, we discuss the perfect simulation of binary autoregressions and Markov chains on the unit interval.

Refracted Governmentality: Space, Politics and Social Structure in Contemporary Luanda

description: My thesis argues that political authority produces very particular regimes of informality. The description of the city of Luanda that I undertake is concerned with explaining the process of political transformation. The city of Luanda was mostly built during colonialism to spatially accommodate extant race and class divisions. The million or more Angolans who occupied those differentiated spaces in the aftermath of independence challenged the colonial distribution of space. I explain the recent transformation that the city has undergone by focusing less on the theory and practice of urban planning, and more on the inscription and influence of political patronage onto space. Political power, then, has been a force in the spatial transformation of Luanda. These developments have taken place against backdrop of a very particular politico-economic structure, which has two consequences that I explore in the remainder of the dissertation. The first one concerns the disjuncture in formal terms of the relationship between the state and society. As one of the second largest oil producing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria, the Angolan government is not dependent on the population for the extraction of tax resources. Consequently, the government is not only unaccountable to the population and civil society, but by being out of joints with large swaths of the population forces most Angolans to reproduce themselves beyond any formal intervention of the state. The second consequence can be seen in the informal links between rulers and the ruled which are sustained by other institutions of intermediation, such as the ruling party, but even more importantly the family. In post-socialist and neo-liberal Angola, family is no longer the domain of private relationships. Family has come to signify the intermediation between the state and society. For affluent Angolans, family ties to the political elite allow them to share the distribution of national resources. For poor Angolans, family is the unit of production by means of which ends can be met.

description: Ziel des Artikels ist es, die grundlegenden Fakten über die Wirkungszusammenhänge der Technologieadoption aufzuzeigen, die eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Vision eines zukünftigen Intelligenten Energieversorgungssystems ermöglichen können. Von besonderem Interesse hierbei ist die Frage, ob das Technology-Organization-Environment Framework ein dafür geeignetes Model ist. In diesem Zusammenhang wird untersucht, welche Rolle regulatorische, organisationale und technische Faktoren spielen und ob und in welchem Ausmaß diese möglicherweise eine hemmende bzw. fördernde Wirkung haben. Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurde eine empirische Untersuchung durchgeführt, an der sich über 180 Netzbetreiber in Deutschland beteiligt haben.

description: Bulk reconstruction formulas similar to HKLL are obtained for de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces as the inverse Gel'fand Graev Radon transform. While these generalize our previous result on the Euclidean anti-de Sitter space, their validity in here is restricted only to odd dimensions in both instances. The exact Wightman function for the de Sitter space is then derived analytically. The GGR transform fixes the coefficient of the Wightman function. For the anti-de Sitter space it is shown that a reconstruction formula exists for the case of time-like boundary as well. The restriction on the domain of integration on the boundary is derived. As a special case, we point out that the formula is valid for the BTZ black hole as well.

description: Using a dynamic forecasting approach on basis of a NARX neural network, the possibility of forecasting the day ahead spot price movement of natural gas in the market area of NetConnect Germany is examined. For this purpose, several trader interviews brought together potential influence factors such as temperature, cross-border flows or storage withdrawal rates. To determine the optimal variable combination, those influence factors are used in a sensitivity analysis to estimate the individual impact. It could be shown, that a NARX net depending on only five factors (temperature, exchange rate and the settlements of three major gas hubs) produces the most accurate forecast. As the dominating influence factor the temperature forecast four days ahead (t+4) could be identified.

description: The removal of a Mäori child in May 2019 led to widespread protest and the launch of four inquir-ies into the Ministry for Children, plus an urgent inquiry through the Waitangi Tribunal. Tamariki Mäori are over-represented in the child welfare system, but the issues are not just about the system itself. The legacy of colonisation continues to have an impact, not just on individual whänau, but also on the loss of tikanga in relation to whänau. It is the tikanga of whänau that many protesters seek to protect. Furthermore, advocates for reform disagree on the extent to which partnership and bicultural-ism should be prioritised, or whether self-determination should be a minimum prerequisite for change. Understanding this difference of opinion is important because it affects our view of the child welfare system itself. This article explores these issues within the current context, where child welfare issues are a matter of considerable public debate.

description: A short foreword has been added for the archive version of this article, which otherwise appears as originally published in 1990, except for the updating of references. The original abstract follows. This is a critical review of the literature on many-worlds interpretations (MWI), with arguments drawn partly from earlier critiques by Bell and Stein. The essential postulates involved in various MWI are extracted, and their consistency with the evident physical world is examined. Arguments are presented against MWI proposed by Everett, Graham and DeWitt. The relevance of frequency operators to MWI is examined; it is argued that frequency operator theorems of Hartle and Farhi-Goldstone-Gutmann do not in themselves provide a probability interpretation for quantum mechanics, and thus neither support existing MWI nor would be useful in constructing new MWI. Comments are made on papers by Geroch and Deutsch that advocate MWI. It is concluded that no plausible set of axioms exists for an MWI that describes known physics.

description: We investigate the electrical transport through a system of benzene coupled to metal electrodes by electron tunneling. Using electronic structure calculations, a semi--quantitative model for the pi-electrons of the benzene is derived that includes general two-body interactions. After exact diagonalization of the benzene model the transport is computed using perturbation theory for weak electrode-benzene coupling (golden rule approximation). We include the effect of an applied electric field on the molecular states, as well as radiative relaxation. We predict a current collapse and strong negative differential conductance due to a ``blocking'' state when the electrode is coupled to the para-position of benzene. In contrast, for coupling to the meta-position, a series of steps in the I-V curve is found.

description: In the current Master Thesis, the in – line measurements of oil/gas production fluids as well as the existing technologies and techniques are presented. Initially, the flow regimes, which define the operation principles of multiphase flow meters (MPFMs), are analyzed and then the in – line MPFMs, separation type meters, wet gas flow meters and other categories of MPFMs are described in detail. Afterwards, the performance of MPFMs is described, which defines the application of the multiphase flow measurement technologies and the selection the most suitable one. Furthermore, guidelines for designing MPFM installations are presented as well as the main characteristics of the operation of MPFMs such as cost, maintenance, footprint, radioactive source and calibration. Last but not least, MPFMs which are being sold in the market from different companies such as Agar Corporation, are presented as well as some very useful conclusions as far as the perspectives and the new trends of MPFM technologies are concerned.
