description: This paper presents the round-table discussions on the theme of “University Pedagogy: Thoughts, Proposals, Reflections,” at the 2nd International Experiential Conference on Applied Teaching: “Teaching Trends and Challenges in Contemporary Learning Environments”. In order to achieve the active and experiential engagement of all participants, a process inspired by the Science Café movement has been applied. Participants were invited to send in short comments and questions regarding the issue of University Pedagogy/Teaching and learning in Higher Education. These comments were collected, categorized and discussed immediately after the predetermined speeches, which are presented extensively herein with the following titles: “University Pedagogy: Trends and perspectives in Greece and internationally”, “University Pedagogy in Practice: An Epistemological and Didactical Approach” and “University Pedagogy in Greece: findings of empirical research”. The participants then participated in an open discussion based on the questions they had asked before andalso after the preparedlectures. The review of all the contributions during the discussion, and of the proposals submitted, concludes that University Pedagogy can be a powerful means of enhancing the quality of Greek Higher Education, provided that: a) university institutions invest in the continuous improvement of the teaching skills of their teaching staff, and b) universityprofessors have incentives and the readiness to engage in teaching and learning based on scientific and well-tried methods.

Publisher: name: Academia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Service-learning, character, social care, communicative, responsibility

description: This study provides an overview of the application of service-learning for the development of students’ character. There are three aspects to be analyzed in this research, i.e. procedures to apply service-learning, procedures to select service-learning participants, and benefits of service-learning to the development students’ character. A qualitative approach is used to review journal articles regarding the implementation of service-learning in Indonesia. In the current study, 15 research studies were found to meet the particular criteria. Results suggest that a service-learning program in higher education in Indonesia involves the procedures of implementation, procedures to select participants, and benefits to the development of students’ character. Service-learning was generally integrated into lectures with non-live-in procedures (60%), while the remainder (40%) applied live-in procedures. The majority of the service-learning participants (86.67%) were selected to participate because they attended the course that implemented service learning. In relation to the benefits of service-learning, it can be concluded that service-learning can develop students’ social care, communication skills, responsibility, creativity, hard work, discipline, and tolerance.

description: Research is an important part of professional education, development and improvement, whose results are observed in the socioeconomic development of a country. This is evidenced in the investment of resources made by developed countries to carry out this activity and the increase of their knowledge production. However, this situation is not the same in Latin America. Although the current legal framework recognizes the importance of research, its implementation process is still emerging. This encourages higher education centers to look for strategies to improve students’ research skills during undergraduate and postgraduate studies. This study is aimed at making a diagnosis of the research awareness of the entrants to a private university in Lima as a starting point for the implementation of a future formative research program. Data were obtained from a 22 item Likert-type questionnaire with scores based on a 5-point scale applied to a sample of 193 selected students. Among the main findings, we identified a difference between the high interest in research and the low level of knowledge about its practice. Subtler results could be obtained by observing generational aspects (greater interest is expressed among younger ones) and the familiarity of Social Sciences and Humanities students with tools related to scientific writing.

description: The need for the cream of the youth population, essentially students in universities, to consider entrepreneurship as a career choice cannot be over-emphasised. This is especially true in South Africa, where disturbingly high unemployment rates continue to feed a litany of social ills that threaten the continued peaceful existence of the society. Convinced that recourse to entrepreneurship can stem the tide of unemployment, the authors of the study set out to investigate the perceptions of entrepreneurship in the student population, and the possibility of students considering entrepreneurship as a career pathway. Data was collected in a cross-sectional manner from a non-probability sample comprising 220 students drawn from a university. Descriptive statistical tools were utilised to analyse the data. Findings reveal that the students have a seemingly narrow view of what entrepreneurship is all about. Nevertheless, evidence abounds that the majority of the respondents nurse an intention that indicates a desire to become entrepreneurs only after completing their tertiary education, as opposed to doing so while still studying. Results also reveal that the biggest impediment to the entrepreneurial intention transforming into actual entrepreneurship endeavours is the lack of support and assistance for such initiatives. Consequently, the study proposes more resolute action on the part of all stakeholders to pave the way for the emergence of more entrepreneurs from the student population.

Subjects: Academic integrity, plagiarism, cheating, education, ethics.

description: Academic integrity should be a structural value for all higher education institutions. The present study describes the prevalence of, and attitudes towards, cheating, plagiarism and authorship misbehaviors in a sample of students from a public university in Honduras. This was conducted through a non-experimental quantitative methodology, using questionnaires. Results suggest that a considerable amount of the participants admitted they had either cheated on an assignment/test or helped someone else do it. Participants rated paying someone else to do one’s test as the most severe of the listed academic misbehaviors, followed by plagiarism, granting undeserved authorship, and data fabrication. Respondents with prior cheating experience tend to be more indulgent when rating the severity of those acts. Most students reported they had been warned about cheating on tests, assignments and plagiarism. Comparisons are also made by student’s sex and age. Results are discussed according to their implications for higher education institutions.

description: Distance learning gives the educator both a new role and a different dimension from the one necessitated by traditional education. The role of the teacher in distance education is -inter alia- communicative, counseling and encouraging. So, the contemporary scientific community has to investigate the parameters, the multiple dimensions, and the variety of skills that any teacher in distance learning must have nowadays.

description: Grape possesses the basic prerequisites for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation it is a host for Agrobacterium and plant regeneration can be induced from cultured grape explants. Leaf explants were cocultivated with disarmed Agrobacterium vectors carrying kanamycin resistance and GUS genes and cultured on shoot-inducing medium containing kanamycin. After 21 d, intense and sharply-defined blue regions were observed, including some blue organized meristematic structures, consistent with plant-driven GUS gene expression. No GUS activity was detected in control explants. Among single leaf tips excised from over 200 regenerated shoots, one was GUS positive. The recovery of transgenic shoots might be improved by increasing the frequency or modifying the site of transformation and/or regeneration.

description: Grapevine shoots were obtained from tissue cultures of cvs Barbera, Moscato bianco and Nebbiolo; their stems were wounded and inoculated with the following strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. A4, 8196, NCPP 2659, and 15834. Root production at the inoculation site was obtained in about 25% of the stems of all cultivars with all the bacterial strains, with the exception of NCPP 2659, which gave a lower root proliferation rate. Cultures of roots obtained after inoculation were established and their growth was enhanced by some media and by addition of cytokinins and auxins to the medium. Root cultures obtained after inoculation with the strain 8196 were genetically transformed, as shown by opine production. In contrast, opines were seldom detected in the root cultures obtained with the other bacterial strains. Light microscope observation showed that the cortex of transformed roots has more cell layers and a larger average cell size than in normal roots.

Subjects: Institutional assessment, HAHE, strategic planning, SWOT analysis, SMART criteria

description: Each higher education institution has a strategic planning, through which it seeks its continuous improvement. In this context, strategic planning is subject to revisions and modifications, which are based on the assessments that, in Greece, are made by the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education (HAHE). Successfully setting short–term and long–term goals, which are included in strategic planning, is based on the use of appropriate tools. The purpose of this study is to provide an example of the use of SWOT analysis and SMART criteria, two useful tools for goal setting. These two tools are used to improve the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. This institution has been selected, as it is one of the first universities established in Greece and, therefore, it carries high prestige and holds a high position in the ranking of Greek universities. It would therefore be interesting to examine whether there are further capabilities for exploitation to improve the institution. This study is approached through the analysis of secondary data. Specifically, no primary research is conducted, but rather secondary data are presented and analyzed, which are drawn from the External Evaluation Report of the then ADIP.

description: Fully developed speckle has been used previously to estimate the out-of-plane motion of ultrasound images. However, in real tissue the rarity of such patterns and the presence of coherency diminish both the precision and the accuracy of the out-of-plane motion estimation. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a simple mathematical derivation for out-of-plane motion estimation in which the coherent and non-coherent parts of the RF echo signal are separated. This method is based on the Rician-Inverse Gaussian stochastic model of the speckle formation process, which can be considered as a generalized form of the K-distribution with richer parameterization. The flexibility of the proposed method allows considering any patch of the RF echo signal for the purpose of displacement estimation. The experimental results on real tissue demonstrate the potential of the proposed method for accurate out-of-plane estimation. The underestimation of motion in ex vivo bovine tissue at 1 mm displacement is reduced to 15.5% compared to 37% for a base-line method.

description: Auxins were found to enhance shoot organogenesis when used in a high cytokinin medium at low levels. This enhancement was genotype specific. In the presence of 10.0 µM BA, Vanessa regenerated best with the inclusion of 4.0 µM IAA-dl-aspartate, while Catawba regenerated best with 2.0 µM IAA-glycine in the medium. With Ravat 51, 14-15% of explants regenerated in the presence of either 2.0 µM IAA-glycine or 4.0 µM IAA-dl-aspartate, whereas there was no regeneration in the absence of auxin. Tests with 0.0-8.0 µM TDZ as a cytokinin source indicated that petiole explants of Vanessa regenerate best (10%) at 4.0 µM TDZ. Our results clearly show that high cytokinin media can be easily extended to petiole explants of other genotypes to facilitate shoot organogenesis and that low levels of auxins, especially IAA conjugates can enhance the level of regeneration.

description: Methods were established for isolation of protoplasts from different organs and tissues of grapevine plants grown in vitro. Cell division could not be induced in protoplasts from leaves, shoot tips and petioles of cv. Optima, whereas stein and root protoplasts showed division activity. Protoplasts derived from stems continued developing and formed microcalli and call. In experiments using stem protoplasts of several varieties, root and stem protoplasts divided in all cases; stem protoplasts of 4 varieties (Riesling, Kemer, Optima, Vidal) could be regenerated to callus. In leaf protoplasts, cell division could be induced only in case of cvs Vidal and Rupestris du Lot, however without formation of callus.

description: Recent refinements in the in vitro embryo rescue technique employed to raise progenies from abortive ovules of seedless x seedless cultivars include addition of 0.2 ppm NAA (naphtaleneacetic acid) to the medium, inducing highly improved root systems and faster plant development. Selling seedless Vitis vinifera yielded seedless progeny only. Open pollinated Perlette and Flame Seedless gave rise to a high percentage (75 and 87%, respectively) of seedless progeny. Progeny from various crosses between seedless cultivars segregated into 65 normal seeded and 204 seedless. From the totality of 204 seedless progeny 192 bore fruit with very slight seed traces. Progeny from crosses between seeded and seedless segregated only 7.5-8% individuals with comparably slight seed traces, amounting to 1/3 of the progeny rated as seedless. Fresh weight determinations of aborted seeds per berry showed a pronouncedly lower weight in progenies from seedless x seedless crosses. Reduction in average berry size in the seedless fraction of seedless x seedless progenies compared to midparent values was of a similar order of magnitude as that obtained in seedless progeny derived from seeded x seedless crosses.

description: • Complete seedlessness was not achieved in any seedless x seedless families produced. This clearly shows the seedless trait is not controlled by a single recessive gene. • The percentage of seedlessness obtained was not the same for all families. This indicates the importance of parental combinations and the need for progeny testing to increase the efficiency of producing seedless offspring. • All seedless genotypes used except Thompson Seedless have a seeded female parent, indicating heterogenity for seeds/aborted seeds. It will be interesting now to use seedlings from the seedless x seedless families to see if 100 % seedless offspring can be obtained. • Three seedless x seedless families compared to their complementary families from seeded x seedless were significantly different for percent seedless. In ovulo embryo rescue of seedless x seedless hybrids is also advantageous as it allows direct hybridization without seeded genotypes. This eliminates the introduction of genes from seeded genotypes and one generation - a savings of 5 years. The ability to achieve complimentary crosses between seedless genotypes directly can be achieved.

The concept of the Social Dimension of Higher Education as it appears in the Bologna Process from 1999 to 2019 (full text in Greek)
Creators: name: Ioannidi, Andriana
Publisher: name: Academia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Social Dimension, Higher Education, Bologna Process

description: The present study examines the concept of "Social Dimension", as presented in the Bologna Process from 1999 to 2019. At first, the content of this term is studied and then it is examined whether and to what extent Social Dimension is implemented. The main conclusions provided by the Joint Announcements of the meeting of European Ministers and other formal texts referring to the Bologna Process, are that in the context of Social Dimension several concepts are involved. Those concepts include mobility, access to Higher Education, equality, lifelong learning, studying conditions and student’s personal development, which are analyzed individually. Furthermore, it appears that the Social Dimension of Higher Education was firstly introduced in the Bologna Process as a general term and throughout the duration of the meeting in the context of the Bologna Process and the Seminars which were conducted, it was associated with different concepts and its content referred to more specialized matters. Finally, it is concluded that Social Dimension is not a priority in the agenda of the Bologna Process, due to inaccuracies in its own definition and other weaknesses of the state members that take part in the Bologna Process.

Lyapunov-theory-based radial basis function networks for adaptive filtering

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Two important convergence properties of Lyapunov-theory-based adaptive filtering (LAF) adaptive filters are first explored. The LAF finite impulse response and infinite impulse response adaptive filters are then realized using the radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs). The proposed adaptive RBF neural filtering system possesses the distinctive properties of RBF NN and the LAF filtering system. Unlike many adaptive filtering schemes using gradient search techniques, a Lyapunov function of the error between the desired signal and the RBF NN output is first defined. By properly choosing the weights update law in the Lyapunov sense, the RBF filter output can asymptotically converge to the desired signal. The design is independent of the stochastic properties of the input disturbances and the stability is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability theory. Simulation examples for nonlinear adaptive prediction of nonstationary signal and system identification are performed.

description: A new model selection criterion based on physical characteristics of underlying motion models is proposed. The proposed criterion is then incorporated in a robust motion segmentation scheme, which is based upon robust least K-th order statistical model fitting. The proposed model criterion has been compared with many other competing techniques and it’s shown to be more suitable for the motion segmentation task. The motion segmentation algorithm has been tested (and shown to be successful) on a number of synthetic and real image sequences.

Chain‐Length Dependence of the Optical Activity of Helical Triptycene‐Based π‐Conjugated Ladder Polymers

name: Scherf, Ullrich
Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: chiral amplification, circular dichroism, helical polymers, ladder polymers
subject: 530 Physik

description: Helical ladder polymers are designed by connecting planar indenofluorene chromophores by chiral triptycene linkers. The resulting hexagonal helices exhibit a substantial degree of homoconjugation across the triptycene knots, with saturation above ≈20 repeat units. The chiroptical anisotropy values gabs = Δε/ε of the lower-energy lobes of the red-most couplets in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra arise from the π−π* transition of the planar indenofluorene chromophores and increase almost sevenfold when going from a model dimer to the corresponding polymeric helical ladder structures. This increase represents a signature of “chiral amplification” that is observed at the molecular, single-chain level. Here, the incorporated chiral linker units determine the chiroptical properties of the helical polymer chain, with chiral interactions arising across many achiral indenofluorene building blocks (>12). This behavior is observed for a fully covalently bound single polymer chain, in contrast to the more commonly studied supramolecular assemblies of appropriate chiral molecules.

subject: 530 Physik

description: A fundamental question relating to the nature of light emission and absorption in organic semiconductors is the dimension of the domain within a bulk material responsible for the interaction of light and matter. How large can a nanoparticle become to retain the quantized nature of light emission? Excitons are only a few nanometers in size, but because they diffuse in space, they probe a much larger volume than the single molecule. When excitons meet, they may decay non-radiatively by singlet-singlet or singlet-triplet annihilation (SSA or STA). Fluorescence photon statistics reveal whether single photons are emitted (photon antibunching) or arrive in randomly spaced packets (photon bunching), offering direct insight into excitonic mobility. Single multichain nanoparticles of ladder-type poly(para-phenylene) (LPPP) are examined. The effect of SSA and STA is seen in the photon antibunching and bunching, respectively, which both decrease in fidelity as the size of the nanoparticle increases. Time resolving the photon correlation measurement yields microscopic annihilation rates for SSA and STA in agreement with values obtained from bulk LPPP films. Even though triplets in LPPP are known to be highly mobile, the results show that, on the timescale of the singlet exciton lifetime, triplet diffusion is not of significance in the STA process.

Regeneration by somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis was reported in the 1970s and plantlet production from cell suspensions or callus is now a routine procedure in many laboratories. Methods for isolating grapevine protoplasts have yet to be achieved. The fragmented apex technique, involving high-frequency adventitious bud formation, is a novel and efficient method for rapid multiplication of grapevines but culture of anthers and pollen has been generally unsuccessful. Micropropagation procedures for vinifera grapes, Vitis species and interspecific hybrids, including rootstocks, are all available. Seedless-seedless hybridization, involving embryo rescue in crosses with stenospermocarpic female parents, is of major significance in breeding seedless table grapes. There has been substantial progress in protoplast cell, tissue and organ culture of grapevines, but this technology is still less well developed than with some other fruit crops (notably citrus and apples). So far, tissue culture has little impact on genetic improvement. Exploitation of somaclonal variation for clonal selection is an attractive option for premium wine cultivars. There is evidence of somaclonal variation in vitro but the usefulness of this random genetic variation in viticulture is still uncertain. To date, results of field trials with vines from somatic embryos have been disappointing. The grapevine is proving to be a difficult subject for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation (A. tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes) and microprojectile technology is another option which is being investigated.

description: The dual-actuator structure for hard disk drives (HDDs) allows faster data access with relatively slower spindle speed. However, the mechanical interaction between the actuators tends to degrade the head positioning accuracy and thus decreases the track density performance. In this paper, the dual-actuator structure is formulated as a dual-input dual-output (DIDO) model and the parameters of the model are identified by least square estimation algorithm in frequency domain. The loop shaping control designs are presented to deal with the narrow-band disturbance due to interaction generated by the other actuator doing random-seeking. Experimental results on a prototype demonstrate that the position error signal (PES) value due to interaction disturbance is reduced by 16% with a notch filter and 64% with a peak filter based on the lead-lag feedback controller.

description: Silicon photonic resonators, implemented using silicon-on-insulator substrates, are promising for numerous applications. The most commonly studied resonators are ring/racetrack resonators. We have fabricated these and other resonators including disk resonators, waveguide-grating resonators, ring resonator reflectors, contra-directional grating-coupler ring resonators, and racetrack-based multiplexer/demultiplexers. While numerous resonators have been demonstrated for sensing purposes, it remains unclear as to which structures provide the highest sensitivity and best limit of detection; for example, disc resonators and slot-waveguide-based ring resonators have been conjectured to provide an improved limit of detection. Here, we compare various resonators in terms of sensor metrics for label-free bio-sensing in a micro-fluidic environment. We have integrated resonator arrays with PDMS micro-fluidics for real-time detection of biomolecules in experiments such as antigen-antibody binding reaction experiments using Human Factor IX proteins. Numerous resonators are fabricated on the same wafer and experimentally compared. We identify that, while evanescent-field sensors all operate on the principle that the analyte's refractive index shifts the resonant frequency, there are important differences between implementations that lie in the relationship between the optical field overlap with the analyte and the relative contributions of the various loss mechanisms. The chips were fabricated in the context of the CMC-UBC Silicon Nanophotonics Fabrication course and workshop. This yearlong, design-based, graduate training program is offered to students from across Canada and, over the last four years, has attracted participants from nearly every Canadian university involved in photonics research.

The Kachin of Myanmar. An Approach to a Complex Political and Social History
Creators: name: Hellmann-Rajanayagam, Dagmar
name: Helbardt, Sascha
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: Although Kachin resistance against the Burmese/Myanmar state has continued since the 1960s, in 1948 the Kachin were enthusiastic supporters of the Panglung Agreement and the Union of Burma. The article traces the development and treatment of the Kachin areas since British colonisation and shows how the foundations of the current situation were laid in the early decades of the twentieth century. British perceptions of the hill peoples as primitive, backward and in need of protection and guidance carried over into independent Burma and may account for many of the problems and misunderstandings experienced today. They may be compared to the “house elves” in the books about the wizard Harry Potter: lesser mortals destined to serve loyally, but not to be independent or determine their own fate. The Kachin continuously strive to counter this perception.

Sharia Law and the Politics of “Faith Control” in Brunei Darussalam. Dynamics of Socio-Legal Change in a Southeast Asian Sultanate
Creators: name: Müller, Dominik M.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: The government of Brunei is currently coming in for sharp criticism from international observers and human rights organizations for enforcing a far-reaching Sharia law reform which carries drastic maximum penalties such as stoning to death for religious offences. This article contextualizes Brunei’s approach to Islamic governance vis-à-vis its domestic discursive context. It ethnographically illustrates how religious policies are interrelated with normative changes in everyday life, particularly pertaining to long-established Malay cultural practices that have been outlawed and socially marginalized in recent years. However, although Brunei society is often portrayed as streamlined and docile, the state’s exercise of classificatory power does not simply determine social behaviour. Despite sophisticated disciplining strategies, some practices declared as deviant continue to persist, either concealed as everyday forms of resistance or creatively reframed and controlled by government institutions. It would, therefore, be inadequate to simplify the dynamics of socio-legal change in one-dimensional totalizing terms, despite undeniable tendencies of “Shariatization” in the post-independence era.

name: Sangiuliano, Maria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Gender Equality
Policy frameworks
Gender equality certification system
Gender equality award system
European certification system
Diversity

description: The Policy Framing Report is the first public deliverable of the CASPER project (D3.1), which has the goal of studying the feasibility of a European certification system on gender equality targeting Universities and research organizations. The main objective of this report is to provide an overview of the current European policy frameworks regarding quality and excellence in Research and Higher Education and if/how they embed gender equality considerations. This overview is oriented towards the identification of the main windows of opportunities for the creation of a European level certification on gender equality in Higher Education and Research. The report mostly focuses on the main policy frameworks of the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area; it also provides an overview of the role which gender equality has had in the Horizon 2020 programme, and of the role which it will probably take in the Horizon Europe programme. Some insights on the role of research and innovation in the new European gender equality strategy will also inform the overview.
 The second objective of this report is to provide a preliminary mapping of the most representative certification and award systems which relate to gender equality and diversity, which will also inform the identification of best practices for the potential European level certification.

Theory of weak localization in graphene with spin-orbit interaction
Creators: name: Golub, Leonid E.
Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Rashba coupling, Valley degrees of freedom, Weak localization, Graphene
subject: 530 Physik

description: A theory of weak localization in graphene with Rashba splitting of the energy spectrum is developed. Anomalous magnetoresistance caused by weak localization is calculated accounting for inter- and intravalley, and spin-orbit and spin-valley scattering processes. It is shown that the anomalous magnetoresistance is described by an expression different from the traditional Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka formula. The reason is that the effect of Rashba splitting gives rise to the spin-orbit vector potential which is not reduced to a spin dephasing only. The developed theory can be applied to heterostructures of graphene with transition metal dichalcogenides.

description: We set up and parametrize a Hubbard model for interacting quantum dots in bilayer graphene and study double dots as the smallest multidot system. We demonstrate the tunability of the spin and valley multiplets, Hubbard parameters, and effective exchange interaction by electrostatic gate potentials and the magnetic field. Considering both the long- and short-range Coulomb interactions, we map out the various spin and valley multiplets and calculate their energy gaps for different dot sizes and interdot separations. For half-filling and large valley splittings, we derive and parametrize an effective Heisenberg model for the quantum dot spins.
