Fragments: Spectres of a Sojourning Sojourner
Creators: name: Sinner, Anita
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2011

description: In this métissage of storied fragments, I explore spectres that are deeply entwined in geographies of self, rooted in understandings of naturalizing cultural practices in relation to familial relationships, arts research with photography, and initial explorations of identity formation as a first generation Canadian. Deeply entwined in my story fragments are dimensions of disjuncture, absence and unbelonging, as I continue in movement, in a hyphenated state, pursuing the stories I ultimately cannot obtain. This reflective essay is an exemplar of my practice seeking heightened awareness of relational events that have informed my situatedness. These fragments are intentionally open to interpretations, to relational connections, to questions for which there are not necessarily answers.

description: We report on constraints on the lifetime of decaying gravitino dark matter in models with bilinear R-parity violation derived from observations of cosmic-ray antiprotons with the PAMELA experiment. Performing a scan over a viable set of cosmic-ray propagation parameters we find lower limits ranging from $8\times 10^{28}$s to $6\times 10^{28}$s for gravitino masses from roughly 100 GeV to 10 TeV. Comparing these limits to constraints derived from gamma-ray and neutrino observations we conclude that the presented antiproton limits are currently the strongest and most robust limits on the gravitino lifetime in the considered mass range. These constraints correspond to upper limits on the size of the bilinear R-parity breaking parameter in the range of $10^{-8}$ to $8\times 10^{-13}$.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: Cyclades, cultural tourism, tourism trends, creative industries, COVID-19 pandemic, tourism regeneration

description: Our research seeks to analyse and discuss the variable ways in which the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) of the Cycladic Islands are viewed in their current state and in their regenerative potential for cultural tourism development, by key stakeholders in the Culture and Tourism sectors of the local society, economy and government. In particular, the paper engages in a critical overview and SWOT analysis of the selected stakeholders’ views, opinions and prospects regarding the relationship between culture and tourism in the islands of Andros, Syros and Santorini, in the context of the anticipated regeneration of both cultural and tourism development, in the post-pandemic era. The repercussions of COVID-19 pandemic have obviously been grave for tourism-dependent countries, such as Greece, and particularly the Cycladic Islands, likely to experience the negative impacts of the crisis more seriously than other economies and regions.
How She Becomes Herself: The Artist as the Daughter of the Artist

Year: 2011

description: This essay highlights aspects of my childhood in 1970s Toronto, Ontario (Canada), growing up as the daughter of an artist, and the ways in which I came to make ‘thinking’ as an artist and spiritually engaged education researcher. Reflecting on my multiple visits to the recent retrospective, multi-artist exhibition entitled WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution (Butler, 2007 - exhibited at Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada, 2009), I realize how I am embedded within a lineage of women artists –how the tactile stimulus of viewing art embodies whole histories (her-stories) for me. As the daughter of an artist, and being a mother, artist and art educator myself, I cannot, or do not separate artistic praxis from the development of theoretical frameworks emerging within my research and life writing.

Measurements of direct photons in Au+Au collisions with PHENIX
Creators: name: Bannier, Benjamin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The PHENIX experiment has published direct photon yields and elliptic flow coefficients $v_2$ from Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies. These results have sparked much theoretical discussion. The measured yields and flow parameters are difficult to reconcile in current model calculations of thermal radiation based on hydrodynamic time evolution of the collision volume. Our latest analyses which use high statistics data from the 2007 and 2010 runs allow the determination of direct photon yields with finer granularity in centrality and photon momentum and down to $p_T$ as low as 0.4 GeV/$c$. We will summarize the current status and present new results from PHENIX.

Writing a Life: Representation in Language and Image
Creators: name: Leggo, Carl
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2011

description: I recently spent several days reviewing more than twenty-five thousand digital photographs I composed and collected during the past decade. I have been feeling a sturdy need to organize and preserve these myriad and multiple images of quotidian life, each image like a fragment of memory, a trace of the heart’s desire. We know ourselves only in images, written in words and light. My sense of who I am in the world is an effect of language, a sense of presence, a representation, seemingly whole but always fragmentary. In all my autobiographical writing, in every poem, anecdote, narrative, or incident, I perceive myself as a character in a fiction, in a story that has been made up. I am both present and not present; or more accurately, I witness a person who is both me and not me.

A Love Song to Our Pluriverse: Life Writing as Cosmopolitan Motherwise Text
Creators: name: Hasebe-Ludt, Erika
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2011

description: This essay examines contemporary notions of cosmopolitanism (Mignolo, 2000; Pinar, 2009) that open up new dialogues between self and other. These dialogues seek to understand and advocate the new realities of life in specific sites where a “cosmo-polis” (Sandercock, 2003) mixing of languages, cultures, races, etc., occurs in ever more complex “mongrel” and innovative ways (Nava, 2007). This paper weaves an intertextual tapestry of different voices, threads of narrative, and poetic prose about questions, insights, and moments of wisdom borne out of being situated in between mixed cultures, epistemologies, and belonging to different local and global communities in and outside the classroom.

Here we observe such phenomena with a graphene mechanical resonator coupled to an electromagnetic mode. We measure thermal motion and back-action cooling in a bilayer graphene resonator coupled to a microwave on-chip cavity. We detect the lowest flexural mode at 24 MHz down to 50 mK, corresponding to roughly mechanical 40 quanta, representing nearly three orders of magnitude lower phonon occupation than recorded to date with graphene resonators.

description: This presentation explores emerging tourism patterns and prospects, in the context of the multifold and complex recent turn in tourism mobilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, using the case study of the Cycladic Islands, Greece. At all geographical scales, patterns of tourism mobility have been and continue to be especially affected by the pandemic. In the emerging context of extremely tentative, fluid and ambivalent tourism mobilities, it is crucial to develop an understanding of distinctive trends and patterns from the bottom up, and especially so in tourism-dependent economies and societies, such as the Greek islands.

Let us define the sequence $n_1=1, n_2=2, n_3=3, n_4=4,n_5=5,n_6=7, ...,n_k$ such that $g(n_k) > g(n_k -1)$. It is known that $lim sup n_{k+1}-n_k =infinity$. Here it is shown that $lim inf n_{k+1}-n_k is finite.

description: Context. The variations of solar activity over long time intervals using a solar activity reconstruction based on the cosmogenic radionuclide 10Be measured in polar ice cores are studied. Methods. By applying methods of nonlinear dynamics, the solar activity cycle is studied using solar activity proxies that have been reaching into the past for over 9300 years. The complexity of the system is expressed by several parameters of nonlinear dynamics, such as embedding dimension or false nearest neighbors, and the method of delay coordinates is applied to the time series. We also fit a damped random walk model, which accurately describes the variability of quasars, to the solar 10Be data and investigate the corresponding power spectral distribution. The periods in the data series were searched by the Fourier and wavelet analyses. The solar activity on the long-term scale is found to be on the edge of chaotic behavior. This can explain the observed intermittent period of longer lasting solar activity minima. Filtering the data by eliminating variations below a certain period (the periods of 380 yr and 57 yr were used) yields a far more regular behavior of solar activity. A comparison between the results for the 10Be data with the 14C data shows many similarities. Both cosmogenic isotopes are strongly correlated mutually and with solar activity. Finally, we find that a series of damped random walk models provides a good fit to the 10Be data with a fixed characteristic time scale of 1000 years, which is roughly consistent with the quasi-periods found by the Fourier and wavelet analyses.

‘Ex and the City’: on cosmopolitanism, community and the ‘curriculum of refuge’
Creators: name: Quinn, Molly
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2010

description: This paper looks at curriculum in a contemporary context marked by an alarming want of hospitality. It does so by engaging inquiry into the renewed interest in the cosmopolitan tradition in education, as directed at questions concerning: the burden of history, the reality of inequity, the experience of exile, and the need for forgiveness. Autobiographically and existentially inspired, it grounds itself in the views and vagrancies of city life—symbolically, in the imaginary as well, highlighting the curricular import of intercultural encounter and radical openness to the other, in advancing and inventing difference and cultivating solidarity ‘differently’. Beginning with a general framework and rationale for such explorations of cosmopolitanism—its understandings of culture, identity, society and citizenship, largely as built upon the poststructuralist readings of Jacques Derrida, among others, this work further takes up of this discourse through related resonant scholarship in education to consider conceptions of curriculum built upon cosmopolitan insights. Borrowing from Derrida’s plea for the ‘city of refuge’ and ‘cities of refuge’, it seeks to consider a structure, or dwelling place, for entertaining the possibilities visited upon us in conceptualizing the ‘curriculum of refuge’ for children via education in a cosmopolitan way.

Origin of very high and ultra high energy cosmic rays

description: While there is some level of consensus on a Galactic origin of cosmic rays up to the knee ($E_{k}\sim 3\times 10^{15}$ eV) and on an extragalactic origin of cosmic rays with energy above $\sim 10^{19}$ eV, the debate on the genesis of cosmic rays in the intermediate energy region has received much less attention, mainly because of the ambiguity intrinsic in defining such a region. The energy range between $10^{17}$ eV and $\sim 10^{19}$ eV is likely to be the place where the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays takes place. Hence the origin of these particles, though being of the highest importance from the physics point of view, it is also one of the most difficult aspects to investigate. Here I will illustrate some ideas concerning the sites of acceleration of these particles and the questions that their investigation may help answer, including the origin of \underline{ultra} high energy cosmic rays.

Year: 2014

description: The 50th anniversary of the publication of the Kilbrandon report provides an opportunity to reflect on the impact that the report has had on vulnerable children in Scotland and consider the system's future prospects. The Kilbrandon vision and values have had a profound effect on our legal system and Scottish society at large. The writer declares that, having been involved in Children's Hearings for over 40 years, the views expressed within this paper are not completely neutral. Now is an appropriate time to take stock of the extent to which Kilbrandon's vision remains alive today and to reflect on the changes that have occurred over the years in terms of politics, society, the law and organisational structures. It is also an opportunity to consider how our contemporary knowledge of vulnerable children’s needs, and rights, have influenced the development of the Children's Hearing system. This article considers the ways in which the system might adapt in future to ensure that the core values of Kilbrandon continue to influence future policy making concerning the needs of Scotland's children.

description: Social media has been considered as a data source for tracking disease. However, most analyses are based on models that prioritize strong correlation with population-level disease rates over determining whether or not specific individual users are actually sick. Taking a different approach, we develop a novel system for social-media based disease detection at the individual level using a sample of professionally diagnosed individuals. Specifically, we develop a system for making an accurate influenza diagnosis based on an individual's publicly available Twitter data. We find that about half (17/35 = 48.57%) of the users in our sample that were sick explicitly discuss their disease on Twitter. By developing a meta classifier that combines text analysis, anomaly detection, and social network analysis, we are able to diagnose an individual with greater than 99% accuracy even if she does not discuss her health.

description: Thermal conductivity measurements have been carried out for single crystals of the onedimensional (1D) antiferromagnetic (AF) Ising-like spin system ACoX3 (A = Rb, Cs; X = Cl, Br). A shoulder originating from the thermal conductivity due to spin excitations, \k{appa}?spin, has been observed around 60 K in the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity along the c-axis parallel to spin chains for every ACoX3. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of ?\k{appa}spin in 1D AF Ising-like spin systems. It has been found that the magnitude of ?\k{appa}spin in ACoX3 is a little smaller than those in 1D AF Heisenberg spin systems. The reason is discussed in terms of the Heisenberg-like character in ACoX3.

description: We discuss production of open charm mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The cross section for inclusive production of $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated within the $k_{\perp}$-factorization approach in which a major part of higher-order corrections is belived to be effectively included. We use and test the applicability of several unintegrated gluon distributions. Numerical results of the $k_{\perp}$-factorization approach are compared to NLO pQCD collinear predictions. Inclusive differential distributions in transverse momentum and (pseudo)rapidity of several charmed mesons are presented and compared to recent results of the ALICE, ATLAS and LHCb collaborations. We also examine production of neutral charmed meson-antimeson pairs ($D^0 {\overline D^0}$) in unique kinematics of forward rapidities of the LHCb experiment. Kinematical correlations in azimuthal angle $φ_{D^0 {\overline D^0}}$, invariant mass $M_{D^0 {\overline D^0}}$ and rapidity difference $Y_{D^0 {\overline D^0}}$ distributions are calculated. Moreover, we also discuss production of two pairs of $c \bar c$ within a simple formalism of double-parton scattering (DPS). We compare results of calculations of single-parton scattering (SPS) and double-parton scattering (DPS) for production of $c \bar c c \bar c$ and for $D^0-D^0$ meson-meson correlations. We compare our predictions for double charm production with recent results of the LHCb collaboration for azimuthal angle $φ_{D^0 D^0}$ distribution, dimeson invariant mass $M_{D^0 D^0}$ and rapidity distance between mesons $Y_{D^0 D^0}$. The obtained results clearly certify the dominance of DPS in the production of events with double charm.

description: The present paper proposes a new parallel algorithm for the modular division $u/v\bmod β^s$, where $u,\; v,\; β$ and $s$ are positive integers $(β\ge 2)$. The algorithm combines the classical add-and-shift multiplication scheme with a new propagation carry technique. This "Pen and Paper Inverse" ({\em PPI}) algorithm, is better suited for systolic parallelization in a "least-significant digit first" pipelined manner. Although it is equivalent to Jebelean's modular division algorithm~\cite{jeb2} in terms of performance (time complexity, work, efficiency), the linear parallelization of the {\em PPI} algorithm improves on the latter when the input size is large. The parallelized versions of the {\em PPI} algorithm leads to various applications, such as the exact division and the digit modulus operation (dmod) of two long integers. It is also applied to the determination of the periods of rational numbers as well as their $p$-adic expansion in any radix $β\ge 2$.

Self-energy correction to dynamic polaron response

description: We present the first order self-energy correction to the linear response coefficients of polaronic systems within the truncated phase space approach developed by the present authors. Due to the system-bath coupling, the external pertubation induces a retarded internal field which dynamically screens the external force. Whereas the effect on the mobility is of second order, dynamical properties such as the effective mass and the optical absorption are modified in first order. The Fröhlich polaron is used to illustrate the results.

description: Mutually unbiased bases that can be cyclically generated by a single unitary operator are of special interest, since they can be readily implemented in practice. We show that, for a system of qubits, finding such a generator can be cast as the problem of finding a symmetric matrix over the field $\mathbb{F}_2$ equipped with an irreducible characteristic polynomial of a given Fibonacci index. The entanglement structure of the resulting complete sets is determined by two additive matrices of the same size.

A Zen Journey in the Living Map of Curriculum

Year: 2010

description: This paper will first analyze the rhetoric of the dead map of curriculum and its relation to the ideology of control in education, then explore the alternative of a Zen journey in the living map of curriculum. As the practice of Zen meditation focuses on the reflection of daily routines to see alternatives and possibilities, it echoes Maxine Greene’s view of imagination by uncoupling from the ordinary: a power element in provoking the not yet openings in the living map of curriculum. Furthermore, the spiritual power of Zen calls us to play the stringless lute of curriculum to get a new key beyond in the living map of curriculum. Finally this paper touches on the challenge or danger of this living map under the “ecstasy of communication” in a postmodern age.

description: In large-scale multiple hypothesis testing problems, the false discovery exceedance (FDX) provides a desirable alternative to the widely used false discovery rate (FDR) when the false discovery proportion (FDP) is highly variable. We develop an empirical Bayes approach to control the FDX. We show that, for independent hypotheses from a two-group model and dependent hypotheses from a Gaussian model fulfilling the exchangeability condition, an oracle decision rule based on ranking and thresholding the local false discovery rate (lfdr) is optimal in the sense that the power is maximized subject to the FDX constraint. We propose a data-driven FDX procedure that uses carefully designed computational shortcuts to emulate the oracle rule. We investigate the empirical performance of the proposed method using both simulated and real data and study the merits of FDX control through an application for identifying abnormal stock trading strategies.

As a documented Canadian and British citizen, an immigrant with an ex-appropriated proper name traced to Guyana’s indentured Chinese cane reapers, and thus, an imperial and postcolonial subject with certain identity disorders here in America, Canada, and elsewhere, how is a migratory subject subjected to the language of the other? More specifically, how might one learn, via currere, from a migrant subject’s educational experiences of appropriation and alienation in the language of the other?

description: We study the behaviour of elastic and diffractive proton dissociation cross sections at high energy. First, we describe what would be expected to be observed at the LHC based on conventional Regge theory. We emphasize the tension between these expectations and the recent LHC measurements, and we discuss the possibilty to modify the classic Reggeon Field Theory in a physically-motivated way so as to accommodate the tendencies observed at the LHC. As a result, we show that we are able to achieve a `global' description of the wide variety of high energy elastic and diffractive data that are presently available, particularly from the LHC experiments. The model is based on only one pomeron pole, but includes multi-pomeron interactions and, significantly, includes the transverse momentum dependence of intermediate partons as a function of their rapidity, which provides the rapidity dependence of the multi-pomeron vertices. We give predictions for diffractive observables at LHC, and higher, energies.

Causal Layered Pedagogy: Introducing a futures oriented curricula innovation
Creators: name: Bussey, Marcus
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2010

description: Causal Layered Pedagogy (CLP) is a curricula and pedagogical engagement with Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) (Inayatullah, 2004). CLP is an emergent tool. It has the potential to engage curriculum theory and pedagogical practice in such a way as to open up spaces for both alternative ways of knowing and doing, and for new inner spaces for thinking about how to engage in deep and transformative learning processes. Like CLA its focus is on a deepening sense of agency conveyed to a community of learners. Such agency is reflective and therefore critical in the sense of being able to identify and engage social, cultural and individual processes that determine and limit choice and awareness. Such a critical stance allows for what Foucault called “the art of not being governed quite so much” (Foucault, 2002, p. 193).

Journeys in/with ‘sustainability literacy’: Pedagogical possibilities in higher education contexts.
Creators: name: Lugg, Alison
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2010

description: Recent reports from the higher education sectors of the UK and Australia suggest that graduates from higher education institutions should be sustainability literate. Conceptualisation of sustainability literacy is emerging, complex and contested, providing significant curriculum and pedagogical challenges for higher education institutions. Research in sustainability pedagogy emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary or other innovative approaches to sustainability education and sets a cultural, structural and curricular challenge for the higher education sector. This paper focuses on pedagogical possibilities from the standpoint of research findings that demonstrate the importance of holistic, ‘real world’ learning for understanding the complex and problematic nature of sustainability and sustainable development in theory and practice. Through the paper I explore potentials and problems for outdoor environmental education pedagogy, in higher education contexts, to contribute to sustainability literacy. While the focus of the paper is an exploration of processes and outcomes of a post-graduate expedition conducted for an outdoor environmental education programme in Scotland, it is also, in a sense an expression of my own, ongoing journey of engagement with the concepts and issues relating to sustainability education and, in particular, the notion of sustainability literacy.

Nüshu: a curriculum of women’s identity
Creators: name: Broussard, Julia T.
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: This paper looks at the curricular functions of nüshu, a phonetic script invented by women in Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, China, and a set of social practices that went with it. Largely barred from learning to read and write Chinese script, the women of Jiangyong County taught nüshu to each other, passing the knowledge from generation to generation. Scholars have examined nüshu from the perspectives of anthropology, linguistics, literature, literacy, and women’s studies. This paper examines nüshu from the perspective of curriculum theory. Nüshu, after all, was an educational practice: a group of women who made themselves literate and transmitted this literacy across generations. This paper focuses on autobiographical ballads, one genre of writings within the nüshu corpus. These autobiographical narratives present, in what they say and do not say, certain portraits of women’s lives. Using narrative analysis, this paper reveals how nüshu texts and practices together form a curriculum shaping the way in which these women could present their identities.

Complexity as a theory of education
Creators: name: Davis, Brent
name: Sumara, Dennis
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: In their brief histories, the fields of educational research and curriculum studies have tended to adopt methodological approaches and theoretical frames from other academic domains, generally with little or no adaptation. Drawing on the transdisciplinary realm of complexity theory, we critique this tendency and argue that participation in (vs. importation of) a complexity frame might help to overcome the tendency.

Ceria co-doping: Synergistic or average effect?

description: Ceria (CeO$_{2}$) co-doping has been suggested as a means to achieve ionic conductivities that are significantly higher than those in singly-doped systems. Rekindled interest in this topic over the last decade has given rise to claims of much improved performance. The present study makes use of computer simulations to investigate the bulk ionic conductivity of Rare Earth (RE) doped ceria, where RE = Sc, Gd, Sm, Nd and La. The results from the singly doped systems are compared to those from ceria co-doped with Nd/Sm and Sc/La. The pattern that emerges from the conductivity data is consistent with the dominance of local lattice strains from individual defects, rather than the synergistic co-doping effect reported recently and, as a result no enhancement in the conductivity of co-doped samples is observed.

title: Implications of translational research for the field of residential child care
Creators: name: Nunno, Michael A.
name: Sellers, Deborah E.

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2014

description: This article will address a brief history of the nature and definition of translational research and introduce several relevant debates within the field of translational research, specifically the relationship between practice-based knowledge and research in therapeutic residential child care. We offer a model of translational research developed by Hamilton (2014), particularly for work related to youth development that has the potential to bring the child care practitioner to the centre of the process to improve the outcomes of high-needs children. Finally, we provide some lessons learned from the implementation and evaluation of two major programmes designed to improve the quality of therapeutic residential care.
A pedagogy of mourning: tarrying with/in tragedy, terror, and tension
Creators: name: Waterhouse, Monica
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: In this text I offer a narrative reflection, as a teacher-traveler, on my live(d) experiences in a sometimes (always already) violent world. Preoccupied with the possibilities of the work of mourning, in the first two movements I draw on stories of my time teaching in China at the dawn of this millennium to tell tales of tragedy, terror, and tension that provoked strange pedagogical moments. I reflect on the difficulties and passions of live(d) pedagogies that crack open curri/culum to tarry with/in these provocative, generative spaces as places for mourning and connection, ambivalence and ambiguity. During the 3rd movement I join Butler’s questioning of ‘what counts as a grievable life’ as I attempt a textual encounter with an (un)grievable ‘other’. I ask: How might recognition of lives/deaths through the act of inscription and collective mourning be related to understanding human connection? In a pedagogical refrain, I draw Derrida into my conversation with feminist theory to ask seriously about the pedagogical potential of tarrying with/in mourning, particularly for peace education that prioritizes an awareness of human connection. What are the transformative possibilities of returning again to mourning? I conclude with a call from peace educators and other emerging epistemologies that challenge us to think differently about human connection in our pedagogical work. Above all this text is a provocation in/to difficult spaces of mourning and pedagogical movement.

Gait trajectory generation for a five link bipedal robot based on a reduced dynamical model
Creators: name: Arous, Yosra
name: Boubaker, Olfa
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, a simple trajectory generation method for biped walking is proposed. The dynamic model of the five link bipedal robot is first reduced using several biologically inspired assumptions. A sinusoidal curve is then imposed to the ankle of the swing leg's trajectory. The reduced model is finally obtained and solved: it is an homogeneous second order differential equations with constant coefficients. The algebraic solution obtained ensures a stable rhythmic gait for the bipedal robot. It's continuous in the defined time interval, easy to implement when the boundary conditions are well defined.

Rendering dimensions of a liminal currere
Creators: name: Sameshima, Pauline
name: Irwin, Rita L.
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: This article attempts to explore, articulate, and provide examples for understanding the non-linear relationship between processes of the arts and the processes of research in relation to representational forms of artful scholarly inquiry. For an a/r/tographer (an artist/researcher/teacher interested in merging the arts with research writing—graphe), the relationship between the creation of artful representational forms and the crafting of artful scholarly research are not dualist, nor dichotomous, but rather non-linear, rhizomatic, and dynamically interwoven. This paper offers a description of our individual art-making processes as living inquiries of pedagogical practice grounded in the work of curriculum theorist, Jacques Daignault. We provide a perspective of conceptualizing curriculum as the liminal space itself.

description: We report an experiment in which the moments of spatial coordinates of down-converted photons are measured directly, without having to reconstruct any marginal probability distributions. We use a spatial light modulator to couple the spatial degrees of freedom and the polarization of the fields, which act as ancilla systems. Information about the spatial correlations is obtained via measurements on the ancilla qubits. Among other applications, this new method provides a more efficient technique to identify continuous variable entanglement.

Recovering Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK): is it always what it seems?
Creators: name: Carter, Lyn
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: Globalisation and its attendant acknowledgment of diversity have meant that Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) as a form of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) is becoming increasingly prominent in many educational disciplines including that of science education. This paper firstly, describes and critiques Snively and Corsiglia’s (2001) argument for TEK suggesting the picture is more complex and that we must be vigilant to avoid new forms of imperialism that may flow from how TEK is represented and appropriated. This critique utilises the two constructs of binaries, and translation and appropriation (after Huggan, 2001), that have been found useful in postcolonial theory to delve into underpinning theorisations of culture and difference used, but underexplored, within science education. The paper goes on to explore some of the newer theorisations on borders, border thinking, hybridity, and border epistemologies (for example Beck, Bonass & Lau, 2003; Mignolo, 2007; Shields, 2006;Visvanathan, 2006) available within postcolonial scholarship to see how they may contribute to the thorny issues of TEK, IK and Western science’s tendency towards imperialism.
