Religious Education and Social and Community Cohesion: An Exploration of Challenges and Opportunities
Creators: name: Peterson, Andrew
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2012

description: Religious education and social and community cohesion is an interesting project which has resulted in a timely and thought-provoking text. In recent times there has been a good deal of interest in the place of religion and faith in public life, policy and education and, in particular, in the affect (positive or otherwise) which religion and faith have on social and community cohesion. This excellent book significantly adds to this debate. Wide-ranging in its scope, and what the editor declares will be his last book in a long career in religious education, Michael Grimmett has successfully brought together a cohesive and significant text which should be of interest to a wide audience. In his introduction Grimmett makes clear his thinking behind the project: ‘a seismic shift in the social, political, religious, moral and ethnic landscape of the UK in the last decade has presented RE with a new and still to be addressed challenge and has shown... that current theories and practice in RE are no longer entirely sufficient to address the very different circumstances created by the emergence of what I will call ‘globalised and politicised religion’ (p. 10). The chapters contained within the collected edition explore and interrogate issues around social and community cohesion and their implications for religious education in schools. The text is particularly successful in charting the changing nature of the teaching RE since the 1944 Education Act (a time which has witnessed a transition from the confessional, to the secular, to what might loosely be termed the ‘post-secular’), and it does so in a way which brings the recent history of RE teaching to bear on the role of the subject in building social and community cohesion in the contemporary context.

The automatic solution of partial differential equations using a global spectral method
Creators: name: Townsend, Alex
name: Olver, Sheehan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A spectral method for solving linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with variable coefficients and general boundary conditions defined on rectangular domains is described, based on separable representations of partial differential operators and the one-dimensional ultraspherical spectral method. If a partial differential operator is of splitting rank $2$, such as the operator associated with Poisson or Helmholtz, the corresponding PDE is solved via a generalized Sylvester matrix equation, and a bivariate polynomial approximation of the solution of degree $(n_x,n_y)$ is computed in $\mathcal{O}((n_x n_y)^{3/2})$ operations. Partial differential operators of splitting rank $\geq 3$ are solved via a linear system involving a block-banded matrix in $\mathcal{O}(\min(n_x^{3} n_y,n_x n_y^{3}))$ operations. Numerical examples demonstrate the applicability of our 2D spectral method to a broad class of PDEs, which includes elliptic and dispersive time-evolution equations. The resulting PDE solver is written in MATLAB and is publicly available as part of CHEBFUN. It can resolve solutions requiring over a million degrees of freedom in under $60$ seconds. An experimental implementation in the Julia language can currently perform the same solve in $10$ seconds.

description: Durch die Napoleonischen Koalitions- und Befreiungskriege wurde in den deutschsprachigen Gebieten zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts eine Welle der nationalen Bestrebungen in Gang gesetzt. Die hier vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit Texten von jeweils vier „deutschen“ Autoren und vier österreichischen Autoren auseinander und möchte verschiedene literarische Nationalitätskonstruktionen ergründen. Des Weiteren soll in diesen literarischen Werken die Position Österreichs innerhalb der deutschen Länder erforscht werden. Die Analyse zeigt, dass Autoren grundsätzlich vor allem mentalitätshistorische und historische Konstruktionsansätze wählen, um nationale Vorstellungen in ihren Texten zu transportieren, während geographische und telelogische Begründungen tendenziell weniger zu finden sind. Vor allem bei „deutschen“ Autoren kann nachgewiesen werden, dass der realpolitisch wachsende Gegensatz zwischen dem Kaisertum Österreich und Restdeutschland kleingeschrieben und bagatellisiert wurde. Auch bei den hier behandelten österreichischen SchriftstellerInnen kommt dies zum Ausdruck, allerdings in abgeschwächter Form. Letztendlich bleiben Nationalitätskonstruktionen aber auch oft zu vage. Bei österreichischen Autoren ist zudem eine gewisse Zerrissenheit zwischen einer Teilhabe an einem gesamtdeutschen Nationalstaat und Habsburg-Patriotismus zu erkennen.
description: The Napoleonic coalition and liberation wars set in motion a wave of national aspirations in the German-speaking areas at the beginning of the 19th century. The work presented here deals with texts by four “German” authors and four Austrian authors and would like to fathom different literary constructions of nationality. Furthermore, the position of Austria within the German states should be researched in these literary works. The analysis shows that authors primarily choose mentality-historical and historical construction approaches in order to transport national ideas in their texts, while geographical and telelogical justifications tend to be less common. Especially in the case of "German" authors, it can be proven that the growing contrast between the Austrian Empire and the rest of Germany concerning realpolitik was played down and trivialized. This is also expressed by the Austrian writers discussed here, albeit in a weaker form. Ultimately, nationality constructions often remain too vague. In the case of Austrian authors, additionally a certain inner conflict between participation in an all-German national state and Habsburg patriotism can be seen.

description: We study the thermalization of gluons far from thermal equilibrium in relativistic kinetic theory. The initial distribution of gluons is assumed to resemble that in the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Only elastic scatterings in static, nonexpanding gluonic matter are considered. At first we show that the occurrence of condensation in the limit of vanishing particle mass requires a general constraint for the scattering matrix element. Then the thermalization of gluons with Bose-Einstein condensation is demonstrated in a transport calculation. We see a continuously increasing overpopulation of low energy gluons, followed by a decrease to the equilibrium distribution, when the condensation occurs. The times of the completion of the gluon condensation and of the entropy production are calculated. These times scale inversely with the energy density.

A Corpus-Based Study of Culturally Sensitive Terms in Subtitling Hollywood Films into Arabic

description: Film subtitling is considered one of the most effective means of achieving cultural exchange and communication between peoples, yet there are some linguistic and cultural challenges that hinder such exchange, including taboo language. Culturally sensitive terms, what will be referred to as taboo language in this thesis, is a common feature of popular films in Hollywood. Those films are produced in an open and liberal context, and when subtitling for a more conservative and closed society such as an Arabic society, taboo words pose a thorny challenge for subtitlers. Using a corpus of 90 Hollywood films released between 2000 and 2018, and applying insights from Descriptive Translation Studies (Toury, 1995, 2012) and the dichotomy of domestication and foreignization, this thesis investigates three main research questions: (1) What are the dominant taboo items, categories and functions in the English subtitles? (2) What are the predominant translation strategies used in the translation of taboo language? (3) What is the impact of taboo function on the use of translation strategies in the translation of the most frequent items and categories? In order to answer the research questions above, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the corpus is conducted, in which the researcher adopts a self-designed, parallel, aligned corpus of ninety films and their Arabic subtitles. A quantitative analysis is performed to compare the frequencies and distribution of taboo words, their categories, functions, and the translation strategies employed by the subtitlers of ninety films, with the aim of identifying similarities or differences in addition to identifying the impact of taboo functions on the use of subtitling strategies. Based on the quantitative analysis, a qualitative analysis is performed to identify any translational patterns in Arabic translations of taboo words and the possible reasons for subtitlers’ choices. The results show that the majority of taboo words in the source text (ST) have been manipulated, domesticated and toned down to comply with the cultural and linguistic norms of the recipient culture. Also, it is found that Arabic religious words are frequently used for the translation of English taboo words, as the five most common Arabic corresponding words belong to the religion category. In other words, many English taboo words that relate to particular semantic categories like sex, excrement and body parts, but also words from other categories, shift to the semantic category of religion in Arabic subtitles.

description: Integrated photonic circuits are designed to manipulate the properties of light for multiple different functions. For example the telecommunications industry uses photonic integrated circuits to efficiently direct light signals at high speeds to provide the internet, and the sensing community is developing compact photonic devices to measure materials. One method to fabricate integrated photonic circuits is femtosecond laser direct-write. This technique induces a refractive index modification inside a glass material localised to the lasers focal point. This enables modifications to be fabricated in three-dimensions, while the strength of the refractive index change can be controlled by the laser’s pulse energy. The femtosecond laser direct-write technique is relatively well established. However, the fabrication of complex devices with large-area index modifications has seen minimal development. In this thesis the challenges associated with complex devices with large-area refractive index modifications, such as controlling the optical path length and managing internal stress, are explored. Two complex devices, the arrayed waveguide grating and gradient index structures that contain large-area refractive index modifications have been chosen to push the limits of fabrication. Arrayed waveguide gratings are used in telecommunications to multiplex/de-multiplex light into different data streams. These devices contain two large planar index regions. Due to these regions arrayed waveguide gratings have previously only been fabricated using lithographic techniques. In this thesis we fabricate, for the first time, a functional arrayed waveguide grating using the femtosecond laser direct-write technique. The arrayed waveguide grating were fabricated in the visible region at 632:8 nm with a measured free spectral range of 22:2 ± 0:5 nm, and 1:35 ± 0:03 nm resolution. Next three arrayed waveguide gratings were layered vertically to create a novel spectro-interferometer. Finally a 3 port photonic lantern was integrated with an arrayed waveguide grating, for applications such as sensing and astronomy. This was the first time a photonic lantern and an arrayed waveguide grating has been integrated into a single robust chip. Gradient index structures can be used to alter the irradiance of light beams. While multiple types of beam shapers are already designed to achieve this function, gradient index structures offer the advantage of being compact and simple to use. Unfortunately the fabrication of gradient index volumes is limited to very simple refractive index profiles, due to conventional fabrication methods. Here the fabrication of a customizable refractive index profile, fabricated using the femtosecond laser direct-write method, is demonstrated for the first time. These volumes are shown to re-size Gaussian beams and reshape a Gaussian beam to a flat-top.
Class councils in Switzerland: Citizenship education in classroom communities?

description: Democracy depends on the participation of citizens. Citizenship education is taking place in classroom communities to prepare pupils for their role as citizens. Class councils are participatory forms of citizenship education guaranteeing the children’s right to form and express their views freely as written down in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Theoretical deficiencies and empirical objections have been formulated against participation in the school setting. Despite widespread practices, empirical data about class councils in Switzerland barely exists. In our project we video-recorded fourteen class councils in secondary schools, we interviewed the teacher and four pupils of each class, and all the pupils filled in a standardized questionnaire. Class councils are very popular forms of education with pupils although the actual power to influence decisions by deliberation is doubted to some extent. Quantitative analysis of the video-recordings shows the wide range of forms of class councils that exist in respect to the talking time of the pupils. To express one’s own viewpoint and to understand the standpoint of other discussants, construct arguments and counterarguments, participate, and lead discussions are difficult tasks. Based on the empirical research the project describes three forms of class councils that favour the development of communicative competences as a part of citizenship education.

These states are invariant under global rotations of both subsystems and in real physical systems, such states arise from thermal equilibrium states of isotropic spin systems. We derive an analytic expression for the LQU of (2j +1)*2 and (2j +1)*3 quantum spin systems with SU (2) symmetry.

description: In this paper we propose a sociological concept of innovation capable of transcending the limitations faced by the approaches of common theories of action. The concept was formu- lated by Ulrich Oevermann and is based upon Max Weber’s theory of charismatic authority. We apply this concept to archaeological data, using the example of Neolithic copper metal- lurgy in central Europe, and discuss the importance of analyzing innovations that failed to materialize even though they might have been ”in the air” at the time. The concept sketched here enables the scientific study of such a phenomenon.
description: In diesem Beitrag wird zum einen ein soziologisches Modell von Innovation vorgestellt, das die handlungstheoretischen Beschränkungen der gängigen Innovationstheorien zu über- winden vermag. Dieses von Ulrich Oevermann entwickelte und auf dem Charisma-Konzept Max Webers basierende Modell applizieren wir exemplarisch auf archäologisches Materi- al zur neolithischen Kupfermetallurgie Mitteleuropas. Dabei wird zum anderen der Blick auf ‚ausgebliebene‘ Innovationen gerichtet, das heißt auf solche, die gewissermaßen ‚in der Luft‘ lagen, aber nicht verwirklicht wurden. Auch diese Phänomene lassen sich mit dem hier vorzustellenden Modell differenziert betrachten und einordnen
Benefit or burden? How English schools responded to the duty to promote community cohesion

description: This paper discusses results from a small scale qualitative study of how primary and secondary schools in three English local authorities responded to the introduction and subsequent inspection of a legal duty to promote community cohesion, following a series of ‘race’ riots in 2001 and the London bombings of 2005. The policy itself is seen as reflecting wider discourse and is shown as shifting in focus during the period it was officially inspected between 2008 and 2011. Schools responded differentially to the duty and its inspection, with those in more multi-cultural areas responding with higher degrees of confidence than those in mono-ethnic areas. Some policy ‘slippage’ is seen to occur in the way schools re-framed the duty. Over time, most schools came to identify the curriculum and the school’s ethos as the most important weapons in their armoury. Teachers embraced the new duty with different degrees of enthusiasm – for some it confirmed the importance of holistic approaches to education which they felt had been sidelined in recent years, whilst other showed various forms of resistance. Teachers encountered some subtle and challenging professional dilemmas in the course of discharging the duty. Overall, the respondents in this study felt that the imposition of the duty and its inspection had been more of a benefit than a burden.

description: We show that, for certain families $ϕ_{\mathbf{s}}$ of diffeomorphisms of high-dimensional spheres, the commutator of the Dehn twist along the zero-section of $T^*S^n$ with the family of pullbacks $ϕ^*_{\mathbf{s}}$ gives a noncontractible family of compactly-supported symplectomorphisms. In particular, we find examples: where the Dehn twist along a parametrised Lagrangian sphere depends up to Hamiltonian isotopy on its parametrisation; where the symplectomorphism group is not simply-connected, and where the symplectomorphism group does not have the homotopy-type of a finite CW-complex. We show that these phenomena persist for Dehn twists along the standard matching spheres of the $A_m$-Milnor fibre. The nontriviality is detected by considering the action of symplectomorphisms on the space of parametrised Lagrangian submanifolds. We find related examples of symplectic mapping classes for $T^*(S^n\times S^1)$ and of an exotic symplectic structure on $T^*(S^n\times S^1)$ standard at infinity.

description: This paper analyzes ‘innovation’ as a discursive, narrative and dramatized construction with a strong tendency towards reification. I review examples, arguing for an understanding of innovation that moves away from new physical or epistemic things, to advocate instead a discourse-critical, practice-centered and contextualized understanding of innovations. Two cases from ancient Mesopotamia illustrate my argument. The first is found in every treatise on world historical changes: the introduction of writing. The second is a previously under-appreciated and unperceived innovation for which there is even no clear expression: the emergence of a ‘documentary gaze’. I elucidate its original context with pictorial evidence and describe the political dimensions surrounding this innovation.
description: Mein Beitrag analysiert ‚Innovation‘ als diskursive, narrative und dramatisierte Konstruktion mit einer deutlichen Tendenz zur Verdinglichung. Fallstudien führen mich zum Vorschlag eines Diskurs-kritischen, Praxis-zentrierten und kontextualisierten Verständnisses von Innovationen. Zwei Fälle Altmesopotamiens dienen mir als Illustration. Der erste findet sich in jeder Abhandlung über welthistorisch bedeutsame Erfindungen: das Aufkommen von Schrift. Das zweite Beispiel ist eine unterschätzte und weitgehend unbemerkte Innovation, für die es bislang nicht einmal einen Begriff gibt: das Aufkommen eines ‚dokumentarischen Blicks‘. Ich beleuchte den Ursprungskontext mit Bildwerken und beschreibe die politischen Dimensionen dieser Neuerung.

description: Die menschliche Bevölkerung steht kurz vor dem Punkt des Klimawandels, an dem es kein Zurück mehr gibt. Wir müssen uns für den Umweltschutz einsetzen. Vor allem die Unternehmen müssen ihr Geschäftsmodell ändern und nachhaltigere Methoden in ihrer Produktion einsetzen. Der Kern des Problems besteht darin, dass ein Unternehmen, das allein so handelt, Nachteile als First Mover hat und seine Wettbewerbsfähigkeit einbüßt. Um diese zu vermeiden, sind horizontale Vereinbarungen mit konkurrierenden Unternehmen erforderlich, die auf den Umweltschutz und die Senkung der CO2-Emissionen abzielen. Der derzeitige Rechtsrahmen und die Praxis der Europäischen Kommission erschweren diese Vereinbarungen jedoch. Einerseits behindert die strenge Auslegung der gesetzlichen Bestimmungen durch die Kommission die Zusammenarbeit zwischen konkurrierenden Unternehmen, indem sie die meisten Vereinbarungen sanktioniert, da der Begriff des «Consumer Welfare» mechanisch verwendet wird und nichtwirtschaftliche Elemente bei der Prüfung der Rechtmäßigkeit einer Vereinbarung nicht berücksichtigt werden können. Andererseits schreckt die mangelnde Klarheit der derzeitigen horizontalen Leitlinien die Unternehmen davon ab, zu handeln und Vereinbarungen zu treffen, da nicht klar ist, was nach dem Wettbewerbsrecht zulässig ist und was nicht. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, der derzeitige Rechtsrahmen und die Art und Weise der Überprüfung horizontaler Umweltvereinbarungen kritisch darzustellen. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die wichtigsten Probleme und Hindernisse aufgezeigt und Lösungsvorschläge für jeden der identifizierten Kritikpunkte unterbreitet. Diese Arbeit kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die derzeitige Rechtsgrundlage nicht unbedingt geändert werden muss, sondern dass ihre Anwendung und Auslegung revidiert werden müssen. Dies gilt insbesondere für die horizontalen Leitlinien, die dringend eine bewusstere Berücksichtigung von nichtwirtschaftlichen Elementen wie dem Umweltrecht erfordern - eine Umsetzung, die einige Mitgliedstaaten bereits begonnen haben und die die Europäische Union hoffentlich einführen wird.

description: Wanderungsbewegungen gehören zu den zentralen Gegenständen historischer Forschung und Darstellung. Sie fungieren als historische Wegmarken oder Epochenschwellen und spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der (Trans-) Formation von Räumen und kollektiven Identitäten. Dabei weisen moderne wissenschaftliche Darstellungen von Wanderungsbewegungen aus unterschiedlichen Kontexten, Zeiten und Räumen erstaunliche inhaltliche Ähnlichkeiten und analoge Erzählmuster auf, die sich keineswegs durch vermeintliche Parallelen in den dargestellten Ereignissen erklären lassen. Vielmehr scheinen diese ihren Hintergrund in der Art und Weise zu haben, wie Migrationen dargestellt und erzählt werden. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes decken ein breites Spektrum vornehmlich altertumswissenschaftlicher Disziplinen ab und vermögen zu zeigen, dass noch die jüngere Wanderungshistoriographie tradierten Erzählmustern folgt, die teilweise bis in die Antike zurückreichen.

description: Atomistic spin model simulations are immensely useful in determining temperature dependent magnetic prop- erties, but are known to give the incorrect dependence of the magnetization on temperature compared to exper- iment owing to their classical origin. We find a single parameter rescaling of thermal fluctuations which gives quantitative agreement of the temperature dependent magnetization between atomistic simulations and experi- ment for the elemental ferromagnets Ni, Fe, Co and Gd. Simulating the sub-picosecond magnetization dynam- ics of Ni under the action of a laser pulse we also find quantitative agreement with experiment in the ultrafast regime. This enables the quantitative determination of temperature dependent magnetic properties allowing for accurate simulations of magnetic materials at all temperatures.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an influence on patient safety and quality of care. A research undertaken in numerous countries found a deterioration in the quality of care during the pandemic. Leaders can improve patient safety in any circumstances, pandemic or not, by building a safety culture, reacting to patient and staff concerns, supporting safety activities, and tracking progress. Good leadership is essential to the success of patient safety programs and improving patient safety. Leaders must first establish strategic priorities and plans for culture and infrastructure that will aid in increasing patient safety. They must also actively inquire about patient safety situations and regularly examine patient safety data. Leaders must also collect data in order to foster a culture of patient safety. It is also critical to ensure that adequate infrastructure is available to support safety activities. Leaders have an important role in establishing the optimal methods for enhancing patient safety. Measures and improvement actions are rarely carried out in many nations; thus, leaders must ensure and encourage quality and safety development. Leadership commitment is the foundation for both pandemic and non-pandemic safety and quality improvement. Patient safety recommendations frameworks can help leaders improve patient safety in their organizations.

description: In the second half of the second millennium BC, many areas of Western Eurasia witnessed the return to a settled lifestyle after a long epoch of mobile life. Between the Black Sea, the Caucasus, and neighbouring mountains, a new type of settlements arose. Particular in the Caucasian mountains an architectural tradition emerged that involved the permanent building material stone for the construction of very sophisticated multifunctional build- ings. Stone architecture probably was not invented in the Caucasus, but the innovation once adopted fell on fruitful ground. Over nearly one thousand years of recurring leaps of innovations can be followed. This article discusses the dialectics of these innovative leaps as well as between the development of new technical solutions and new social demands in building as well as dwelling.

description: With positive signals from multiple direct detection experiments it will, in principle, be possible to measure the mass and cross sections of weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter. Recent work has shown that, with a polynomial parameterisation of the WIMP speed distribution, it is possible to make an unbiased measurement of the WIMP mass, without making any astrophysical assumptions. However, direct detection experiments are not sensitive to low-speed WIMPs and, therefore, any model-independent approach will lead to a bias in the cross section. This problem can be solved with the addition of measurements of the flux of neutrinos from the Sun. This is because the flux of neutrinos produced from the annihilation of WIMPs which have been gravitationally captured in the Sun is sensitive to low-speed WIMPs. Using mock data from next-generation direct detection experiments and from the IceCube neutrino telescope, we show that the complementary information from IceCube on low-speed WIMPs breaks the degeneracy between the cross section and the speed distribution. This allows unbiased determinations of the WIMP mass and spin-independent and spin-dependent cross sections to be made, and the speed distribution to be reconstructed. We use two parameterisations of the speed distribution: binned and polynomial. While the polynomial parameterisation can encompass a wider range of speed distributions, this leads to larger uncertainties in the particle physics parameters.

Analysis showed no significant differences in post-operative functional hearing results between the group of AMEI vs. SIBCD (ABG-reduction: 31.6 ± 12.4 dB HL vs. 28.0 ± 11.8 dB HL; p = 0.702; EHG: −1.6 ± 7.7 dB HL vs. −1.2 ± 4.2 dB HL; p = 0.090; FHG: 33.4 ± 12.6 dB HL vs. 26.1 ± 11.7 dB HL; p = 0.192; Freiburg: 83.0 ± 15.6% vs. 83.6 ± 14.2%; Freiburg-improvement: 57.7 ± 26.8% vs. 68.2 ± 19.7%; p = 0.294; OLSA: −2.7 ± 3.0 SNR vs. −1.4 ± 3.6 SNR; OLSA-improvement: 2.6 ± 2.1 dB vs. 3.7 ± 2.8 dB; p = 0.323). Four patients had the AMEI explanted due to insufficient functioning and later received a SIBCD. Due to more challenging anatomical conditions, a surgical technique for the AMEI is more complex. However, functional results are comparable to the SIBCD. Therefore, proper patient counselling and cautious choice of the device are mandated before surgery.

description: We generalise the main theorems from the paper "The Borel cardinality of Lascar strong types" by I. Kaplan, B. Miller and P. Simon to a wider class of bounded invariant equivalence relations. We apply them to describe relationships between fundamental properties of bounded invariant equivalence relations (such as smoothness or type-definability) which also requires finding a series of counterexamples. Finally, we apply the generalisation mentioned above to prove a conjecture from a paper by the first author and J. Gismatullin, showing that the key technical assumption of the main theorem (concerning connected components in definable group extensions) from that paper is not only sufficient but also necessary to get the conclusion.

description: The neolithization of Northeastern Africa is currently studied in terms of the successful in-corporation of domesticates as an active response to climatic changes, by carefully dividing between pre-pastoral and pastoral modes of life or wild and domestic species, respectively. However, it becomes obvious that interest in domesticates is a long-term commitment to other species, given that numerous intended and unintended consequences arose from this particular change in human-environmental relations. According to Gabriel Tarde, innovation can be studied as an act of ‘imitation’ that produces ‘variation’. This would defocus from the subject position of initiators of innovations and rather stress other agents in this process, both human and non-human.
description: Die Neolithisierung Nordostafrikas wird gegenwärtig über die erfolgreiche Eingliederung von Domestizierten als aktive Reaktion auf Klimaveränderungen untersucht, indem ein strikter Unterschied zwischen der präpastoralen und der pastoralen Lebensweise bzw. zwischen wilden und domestizierten Spezies gezogen wird. Es ist jedoch unübersehbar, dass das Interesse an Domestizierten eine langfristige Verpflichtung gegenüber anderen Spezies bedeutet, da dieser Wandel in den Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen zahlreiche beabsichtigte wie unbeabsichtigte Folgen nach sich zog. Wird Innovation nach Gabriel Tarde als eine Dialektik von ‚Imitation‘ und ‚Variation‘ aufgefasst, liegt der Fokus weniger auf dem Subjekt des Urhebers, sondern schließt auch andere, menschliche wie nicht-menschliche Akteure ein.
Association of self-reported noise exposure and audiograms processed with algorithms proposed to quantify noise-induced hearing loss

description: The objective of this study was to assess the association of self-reported noise exposure and audiograms processed with ten algorithms proposed to quantify noise-induced hearing loss using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Participants were placed into groups based on self-reported noise exposure. Self-reported noise exposure served as a predictor for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Audiograms were analysed with ten algorithms: The Guidelines, Brewster’s Rules, two versions of military Noise-induced Hearing Loss, the Bulge Depth, the age-adjusted 8 kHz threshold and four versions of a new algorithm called the Adjusted Notch Depth (AND). The area under the ROC curves were calculated for each algorithm. Data were collected from three cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Only one version the AND significantly identified those with self-reported noise exposure with an area under the curve of 0.562. The association between the AND and self-reported noise exposure was marginally better than the previous algorithms in identifying those with self-reported noise exposure. These findings do not support using puretone thresholds for identifying those with NIHL in a cross-sectional research study without stratifying the participants. More research is needed to determine how the AND can be applied to stratified designs.

description: We explore the possibility of solving the hierarchy problem by combining the paradigms of supersymmetry and compositeness. Both paradigms are under pressure from the results of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and combining them allows both a higher confinement scale -- due to effective supersymmetry in the low energy theory -- and heavier superpartners -- due to the composite nature of the Higgs boson -- without sacrificing naturalness. The supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum model provides a concrete example where calculations are possible, and we pursue a realistic model in this context. With a few assumptions, we are led to a model with bulk fermions, a left-right gauge symmetry in the bulk, and supersymmetry breaking on the UV brane. The first two generations of squarks are decoupled, reducing LHC signatures but also leading to quadratic divergences at two loops. The model predicts light $W'$ and $Z'$ gauge bosons, and present LHC constraints on exotic gauge bosons imply a high confinement scale and mild tuning from the quadratic divergences, but the model is otherwise viable. We also point out that R-parity violation can arise naturally in this context.

description: This paper discusses the underdetermined changes brought about by the introduction of extractive metallurgy in the southern Levant. It takes a long-term-perspective. The author sums up current perspectives with regard to a modified chronology based on calibrated radiocarbon dates before re-evaluating the interconnections between technical innovation and social change. Arguments in favor and against a Schivelbuschian view on extractive copper metallurgy are discussed as well as a variety of social fields in which changes can be detected.

Der Autor fasst aktuelle Perspektiven im Hinblick auf eine geänderte Chronologie zusammen, die auf kalibrierten Radiokarbondaten basiert. Damit können die Verbindungen zwischen technischer Innovation und sozialen Veränderungen neu bewertet werden. In diesem Zusammenhang werden Argumente für und gegen einen an Schivelbusch angelehnten Blick auf extraktive Kupfermetallurgie sowie auf eine Vielzahl sozialer Bereiche diskutiert, in denen Veränderungen festgestellt werden können.

description: This study extends the field of EAP research from three aspects. First, considering the ambiguity of definitions of the relationship between EAP and HRM and the lack of integration of existing knowledge, I undertook a systematic literature review on the concept of EAP from a management perspective. Second, given the knowledge gap in EAP research in China, I present the current state of research and practice of EAPs in China through a state-of-the-art review. Third, to better understand the efficacy of EAPs and unveil their strategic role, I undertake mixed-method empirical research with a sequential qualitative-quantitative approach.

Classical kinematics for isotropic, minimal Lorentz-violating fermion operators

description: In this article the classical, relativistic Lagrangian based on the isotropic fermion sector of the Lorentz-violating (minimal) Standard-Model Extension is considered. The motion of the associated classical particle in an external electromagnetic field is studied and the evolution of its spin, which is introduced by hand, is investigated. It is shown that the particle travels along trajectories that are scaled versions of the standard ones. Furthermore there is no spin precession due to Lorentz violation, but the rate is modified at which the longitudinal and transverse spin components transform into each other. This demonstrates that it is practical to consider classical physics within such an isotropic Lorentz-violating framework and it opens the pathway to study a curved background in that context.
