title: Hereditarily indecomposable Julia continua of transcendental entire functions
Creators: name: Benitez Lopez, Tania Gricel
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: This thesis studies the topology of the Julia set of transcendental entire functions of disjoint type. It is known that the Julia set of such entire functions may contain topological objects which could be considered ``pathological''. In this sense, we may ask how pathological the Julia set could become. Here, we prove the existence of a transcendental entire function of disjoint type for which the connected components of its Julia set together with infinity are pseudo-arcs. Furthermore, the disjoint-type entire function can be chosen to have finite lower order of growth.

description: "Part lecture, part poetry reading, part question-and-answer session, this animated performance recalls Lenny Bruce when his comedy shtick had turned political and serious. Making its way from Black language and its influence on American speech ("discovered" equals "dissed and covered," Baraka says), it ranges from American history and W.E.B. DuBois, to thoughts on the O.J. Simpson trial and commentary on visiting Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics. Like a jazz musician, Baraka's presentation is dynamic, featuring different voices and modulation. It's also vernacular, punctuated frequently by "y'understan' what I mean?" Recorded on February 6, 1997, at the University of Maine, Orono, it includes several provocative short poems of a genre Baraka refers to as "low-ku"."--MSRRT Newsletter, Library alternatives, July/August 1997 v.10#4

description: We consider the framework of an operator-valued noncommutative probability space over a unital C*-algebra B. We show how for a B-valued distribution μone can define convolution powers with respect to free additive convolution and with respect to Boolean convolution, where the exponent considered in the power is a suitably chosen linear map ηfrom B to B, instead of being a non-negative real number. More precisely, the Boolean convolution power is defined whenever ηis completely positive, while the free additive convolution power is defined whenever η- 1 is completely positive (where 1 stands for the identity map on B). In connection to these convolution powers we define an evolution semigroup related to the Boolean Bercovici-Pata bijection. We prove several properties of this semigroup, including its connection to the B-valued free Brownian motion. We also obtain two results on the operator-valued analytic function theory related to the free additive convolution powers with exponent η. One of the results concerns analytic subordination for B-valued Cauchy-Stieltjes transforms. The other gives a B-valued version of the inviscid Burgers equation, which is satisfied by the Cauchy-Stieltjes transform of a B-valued free Brownian motion.

description: The overall goal of FAIRsFAIR is to accelerate the realization of the goals of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) by compiling and disseminating all knowledge, expertise, guidelines, implementations, new trajectories, training and education on FAIR matters. FAIRsFAIR work package 4 (WP4) will support the provision of practical solutions for implementing the FAIR principles through the co-development and implementation of certification schemes for trusted data repositories enabling FAIR research data in the EOSC, and the provision of organizational support and outreach activities. One of the objectives of WP4 is to develop requirements (e.g., metrics) and tools to pilot the FAIR assessment of digital objects, in particular research data objects in trustworthy digital repositories (TDRs). This report presents the first results of work carried out towards achieving the objective. We outline the context for our activities by summarising related work both performed in other work packages within FAIRsFAIR and approaches from the wider community to address FAIR data assessment. We introduce a range of scenarios for assessing data objects for FAIRness before or after deposit in data repositories and outline two primary use cases that we want to focus on in the project: A trustworthy data repository will offer a manual self-assessment tool to educate and raise awareness of researchers on making their data FAIR before depositing the data into the repository, and A trustworthy data repository committed to FAIR data provision wants to programmatically assess datasets for their level of FAIRness over time. To facilitate this, FAIRsFAIR will develop an automated assessment for published datasets that will be piloted with some of the repositories selected for in-depth collaboration as part of the FAIRsFAIR open calls. In addition, we present a set of preliminary metrics corresponding to FAIR principles that can be used to assess data objects through manual and automated testing. We discuss the development and key aspects of the metrics, including their initial alignments with the existing CoreTrustSeal requirements. The alignment forms a basis to develop the FAIR elaboration of CoreTrustSeal requirements, which is one of main ongoing activities of WP4. Furthermore, we present draft requirements that any FAIR assessment implementation will need to consider and highlight how those requirements will impact the use cases for FAIR assessment that our upcoming work will address. We conclude by outlining the next steps in our work to iteratively improve the requirements through a number of pilots. Our priorities include the refinement of the suggested metrics based on the feedback elicited during pilot testing with several communities, in the context of the use cases developed.
Turkey’s New Citizenship and Democracy Education Course: Search for Democratic Citizenship in a Difference-Blind Polity?
Creators: name: Çayır, Kenan
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2011
Subjects: Turkey; citizenship; human rights education; democracy education; multicultural education

description: The paper introduces and critically evaluates the new Citizenship and Democracy Education course in the Turkish curriculum. This course has been introduced as a mandatory subject in grade 8 per one hour a week in the 2011-2012 academic year. Following the comprehensive 2005 curriculum reform, Citizenship and Human Rights Education courses had been abolished and these themes had been distributed to the curriculum of different courses. However, recommendations of academics and international bodies such as the Council of Europe on the advantages of having a distinct course on citizenship and human rights have led the Ministry of National Education to reintroduce a compulsory course covering these themes. The new course seems to be a human rights education course with its emphasis on rights and responsibilities. It could be considered a progressive step in this regard. However, the implication that educating people about their rights could be a basis of democratic citizenship might not be realized in present Turkey where internal conflicts based on religious, ethnic and language-based differences are becoming salient. The paper argues that democratization of citizenship in Turkey requires not only an education about rights but also the questioning of the current difference-blind civic republican notion of citizenship. It draws attention to the necessity of the development of a new political framework and a related citizenship course that would allow for peaceful coexistence of cultural differences.

Civic Education and Intercultural Issues in Switzerland: Psychosocial Dimensions of an Education to “Otherness”
Creators: name: Muller Mirza, Nathalie
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2011
Subjects: Intercultural education; citizenship education; identity; learning; qualitative research

description: In contemporary democratic societies that deal with cultural and linguistic diversity, education faces new challenges such as how to promote a shared knowledge and competence framework about “citizenship,” how to prepare the young generation to enter a complex world, and how to help immigrant students to integrate into the school system. Some of the European recommendations focus on the importance of promoting “intercultural education”. However, so far little is known about concrete practices and their outcomes. This paper aims at documenting and providing elements of reflections about the difficulties and contradictions faced by both teachers and students involved in pedagogical intercultural activities in Switzerland. From the results of a qualitative research based on a sociocultural perspective, identity and institutional issues of addressing “otherness” in school are discussed. It stresses the importance of a frame in order to allow elaboration and transformation of personal and emotional experiences into thinking and reflexive processes.

The Political Dimension of Global Education: Global Governance and Democracy

Subjects: Global Education; political education; citizenship education; critical education for democracy; globalisation; global governance; democracy; participation

description: Political and economic global transformation processes are encompassing the field of political education. The subject matter of political education, namely the political, has itself undergone a radical transformation. The changes have had a particular effect on democratic structures and opportunities for participation in the political process. Focusing on a conception of critical education for democracy, this article will highlight the democratic deficits of the globalisation process, and shed light on political-theoretical conceptions of global governance. As opposed to the paradigmatic reorientation of political education into democratic and (European) citizenship education, which has taken place in Germany, the case will be put forward for political education for global democracy which goes beyond Eurocentric thinking and the concept of the nation state. Global political education involves a broad conception of politics and incorporates the new democratisation processes as well as the accompanying expanded forms of participation

Die globalen Transformationsprozesse von Politik und Ökonomie erfassen auch die politischen Bildungsprozesse. Der Gegenstand der politischen Bildung: das Politische ist einem radikalen Wandel unterzogen. Die Veränderungen wirken sich insbesondere auf die demokratischen Strukturen und Partizipationsmöglichkeiten aus. Im Fokus einer Konzeption kritischer Demokratiebildung werden in diesem Artikel die Demokratiedefizite des Globalisierungsprozesses sowie der politiktheoretischen Konzeptionen einer Global Governance beleuchtet. In Kontrast zur paradigmatischen Neuausrichtung politischer Bildung in Deutschland als Demokratie-Pädagogik und european citizenship education wird in diesem Beitrag für eine globale Perspektive politischer Bildung plädiert, die über ein nationalstaatliches und eurozentristisches Denken hinausweist. Eine globale politische Bildung legt einen weiten Begriff von Politik an und greift die Impulse neuer Demokratisierungsbewegungen sowie die damit einhergehenden erweiterten Partizipationsformen auf.

Citizenship Education and Curriculum Development in Nigeria
Creators: name: Oluniyi, Oyeleke
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2011
Subjects: Curriculum; citizenship; civics; social studies

description: The article highlights the evolutionary trends of citizenship education in Nigeria. The 1914 British amalgamation of erstwhile Northern and Southern Protectorates gave birth to Nigeria as a state. The disparage ethnic composition of the new state, especially after independence, necessitated finding a common ground to promote committed citizens, against primordial ethnic cleavages and indigenization. It is not therefore surprising that the role of education in fostering national citizenship and consciousness was emphasized. Initially, social studies was used as a curriculum framework, until lately when a new subject, civics, was created in primary and junior secondary schools. The author considers the historical, cultural and political context underlining these curricular changes and identifies the current and future challenges face by the implementation of Civics curricular in Nigerian schools.

description: Recent research [1] has suggested that coreness, and not degree, constitutes a better topological descriptor to identifying influential spreaders in complex networks. This hypothesis has been verified in the context of disease spreading. Here, we instead focus on rumor spreading models, which are more suited for social contagion and information propagation. To this end, we perform extensive computer simulations on top of several real-world networks and find opposite results. Namely, we show that the spreading capabilities of the nodes do not depend on their $k$-core index, which instead determines whether or not a given node prevents the diffusion of a rumor to a system-wide scale. Our findings are relevant both for sociological studies of contagious dynamics and for the design of efficient commercial viral processes.

description: Dynamical few-body encounters in the dense cores of young massive star clusters are responsible for the loss of a significant fraction of their massive stellar content. Some of the escaping (runaway) stars move through the ambient medium supersonically and can be revealed via detection of their bow shocks (visible in the infrared, optical or radio). In this paper, which is the second of a series of papers devoted to the search for OB stars running away from young (several Myr) Galactic clusters and OB associations, we present the results of the search for bow shocks around the star-forming region NGC 6357. Using the archival data of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) satellite and the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the preliminary data release of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), we discovered seven bow shocks, whose geometry is consistent with the possibility that they are generated by stars expelled from the young star clusters, Pismis 24 and AH03 J1725-34.4, associated with NGC 6357. Two of the seven bow shocks are driven by the already known O stars. Follow-up spectroscopy of three other bow shock-producing stars showed that they are O-type stars as well, while the 2MASS photometry of the remaining two stars suggests that they could be B0 V stars, provided that both are located at the same distance as NGC 6357. Detection of numerous massive stars ejected from the very young clusters is consistent with the theoretical expectation that star clusters can effectively lose massive stars at the very beginning of their dynamical evolution and lends strong support to the idea that probably all field OB stars have been dynamically ejected from their birth clusters. A by-product of our search for bow shocks around NGC 6357 is the detection of three circular shells typical of luminous blue variable and late WN-type Wolf-Rayet stars.

Subjects: Attitudes towards equal rights for immigrants; immigrant share in the classroom; citizenship education; European cross-national comparative research on education

description: The present study investigates the determinants of native student attitudes towards equal rights for immigrants giving particular attention to the effect of immigrant share in the classroom and the extent to which it can be generalized across country contexts. The contribution sheds some new light on the validity of the contact hypothesis, which suggests that mixing native and immigrant students in schools and classrooms can contribute to higher levels of support for immigrants’ rights. The analyses were conducted across 18 countries participating to the ICCS survey in 2009. For the analyses we applied a three-level multilevel model controlling for individual, classroom, and country characteristics. We tested a random slope for immigrant share in the classroom at country level, and we modeled both linear and quadratic effects of immigrant share. The overall pattern suggests that in most countries there is a small positive effect of immigrant share, which does not change dramatically in direction or size at higher immigrant share levels.

description: The six-state protocol is a discrete-variable protocol for quantum key distribution, that permits to tolerate a noisier channel than the BB84 protocol. In this work we provide a lower bound on the maximum achievable key rate of a practical implementation of the entanglement-based version of the six-state protocol. Regarding the experimental set-up we consider that the source is untrusted and the photon-number statistics is measured using photon-number-resolving detectors. We provide the formula for the key rate for a finite initial number of resources. As an illustration of the considered formalism, we calculate the key rate for the setting where the source produces entangled photon pairs via parametric down-conversion and the losses in the channel depend on the distance. As a result we find that the finite-key corrections for the considered scenario are not negligible and they should be considered in any practical analysis.
Hong Kong Students’ Levels of Political Trust Ten Years after the Return to Chinese Sovereignty

description: Hong Kong’s return to the People’s Republic of China in 1997 marked the beginning of a political transition that, if successful, will result in full democracy by 2020 (Ma 2008). Given that there are different levels of political trust in established and emerging democracies (Catterberg, Moreno 2005) and that regime changes itself exerts an influence on trust, this paper reports on a study that compares levels of political trust between two samples of Hong Kong’s young people. The results indicated that more than ten years after Hong Kong’s retrocession to China, some institutions were more strongly endorsed in 2009 than in 1999 but others registered a lower level of endorsement. Structurally it seems that ‘political trust’ is understood by both samples as a multidimensional construct that has a direct impact on the way they see their future citizenship responsibilities The implications of these results for both political theory and civic education are discussed.

description: Both the 1999 IEA Civic Education Study (CIVED) and the 2009 IEA International Civics and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) sought to examine young people’s attitudes and behaviors as related to civic engagement in addition to their civic knowledge. Now that both studies are completed, questions can be asked about the extent to which the averages of outcomes across countries have stayed consistent or changed. The purpose of this article is to review the CIVED and ICCS studies to examine the potential for, and potential limitations to, such a comparison extending beyond the cognitive domain to some attitudinal and participatory outcomes. We compared guiding frameworks for each study, examined the similarities and differences among items in scales appearing in both studies, and provided a general discussion of the pitfalls of comparing IRT scales across cohorts. An item-level analysis explored whether young people’s average attitudes toward immigrants’ rights and institutional trust changed between 1999 and 2009 in five Nordic countries. Stability in support for immigrants’ rights and increasing trust are apparent in most countries, although exceptions to this pattern exist. Recommendations for secondary analysis of CIVED and ICCS are discussed.

description: This study investigates direct and indirect family, peer, school, and neighborhood effects on adolescents’ civic engagement utilizing data from the 1999 IEA Civic Education Study and the U.S. Census. The nationally representative sample consists of 2,729 students from 119 schools in the U.S. Multi-level regression techniques provide precise estimates of the separate and shared impact of each context on adolescents’ civic engagement. Individual students’ civic experiences and discourse in school and at home predict higher civic engagement, although the effects of these experiences vary based on the larger school and neighborhood contexts. Overall, interactive effects indicate that students who may traditionally be deemed at a disadvantage (either because of poor school or neighborhood conditions) experience more benefits from increases in civic learning opportunities than do more advantaged students. Suggestions are made for secondary analyses of ICCS (the IEA civic education study of 2009).

Here we demonstrate that by operating such a system at the proper excitation fraction, the cold collision shift is canceled below the 5x10^{-18} fractional frequency level. We report inelastic two-body loss rates for 3P0-3P0 and 1S0-3P0 scattering. We also measure interaction shifts in an unpolarized atomic sample. Collision measurements for this spin-1/2 171Yb system are relevant for high performance optical clocks as well as strongly-interacting systems for quantum information and quantum simulation applications.
A Critical Review of International Studies into Citizenship and Citizenship Education - Lessons for Citizenship Education in Slovenia

Subjects: Citizenship; citizenship education; civic knowledge; international research

description: Referring to a critical review of eight international research initiatives (e.g. studies, surveys, research reports) conducted between 2001 and 2010 in the field of citizenship and citizenship education, this paper examines the relationship between different conceptualisations of citizenship and the nature, role and impact of citizenship education. I focus on the European aspects of these research initiatives and draw on the knowledge they disseminate to reflect on the theory of citizenship and the practice of citizenship education in Slovenia. First, I present an overview of the methodology used in the literature review and reflect on the significant limitations in conducting international and comparative research. Second, I reflect on the various relationships between different conceptualisations of citizenship and their effects on citizenship education practices as presented in the overviewed literature. On the basis of the knowledge and results of the literature review, I then make several observations which are relevant to the advancement of citizenship theory and citizenship education practice in Slovenia. Finally, I argue that different conceptualisations of citizenship can have a significant influence on the practice of citizenship education, as evinced by the analysis of the recent results on civic knowledge in Slovenia.

Communities and others: Young peoples’ constructions of identities and citizenship in the Baltic countries
Creators: name: Ross, Alistair
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2012

description: This article explores how young people (aged 12 -18) in the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are constructing their identities, particularly their sense of attachment to their country and to Europe. This generation is of particular significance, in that they are the first generation for many years to have been born and socialised in independent states that are in a relatively peaceful and stable state. Data was collected through 22 focus groups, conducted in 10 different locations in the different states, and were analysed in terms of the degree of enthusiasm expressed for civic institutions and cultural practices related to the country and to Europe. Two particular areas were identified: the sense of generational difference and the ways in which different groups created ‘other’ communities, within and without their country’s borders. These parameters allow us to distinguish the significant communities that these young people are creating in order to make sense of their social and political worlds.

Religious Education and Social and Community Cohesion: An Exploration of Challenges and Opportunities
Creators: name: Peterson, Andrew
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
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.

What contribution can the humanities and social sciences make to career guidance in general and vocational lycées? The case of economics in year one of lycée
Creators: name: Richit, Nathalie
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2012

description: In accordance with the 2008 Resolution of the Council of the European Union on “Better integrating lifelong guidance into lifelong learning strategies”, the reform of French lycées has included career guidance among its priorities. This reform, which was implemented in 2010, includes lessons on exploring economics for all students in year one (seconde) of the French three-year lycée. Will this new feature help to promote career guidance?

This research aims to show that academic and vocational guidance is socially controversial, and that the two year one programmes on economics, “SES” (social and economic sciences) and “PFEG” (basic principles of economics and management), provide knowledge and skills from the humanities and social sciences that are useful for the guidance of year one students, even if the teachers involved do not feel directly involved in assisting with career guidance.

As career guidance is not a discipline, will effective teachers be those who are able to distinguish between “knowledge that” and “knowledge for”?

description: Information systems certifications are becoming increasingly important for information security and data protection by providing organizations with best practices and independent feedback. However, superficial certification internalization is a significant problem: organizations often implement certifications in a lightweight way without truly integrating them into their organizational practices. To mitigate this problem, it is crucial to uncover how different stakeholders involved in the certification make sense of its purpose and criteria. We strive to explore and theorize how organizations internalize information security and data protection certifications through the lens of sensemaking. We draw on a literature review and qualitative interviews to develop a process model of certification internalization spanning three sensemaking cycles: pre-audit assessment, audit, and post-audit maintenance. Taking a more nuanced view of time and process unfolding, we revealed that the ongoing maintenance of certifications plays a critical role in ensuring certification internalization.

description: We present a research based on a project for citizenship education to nanotechnologies in a French highschool which aims at teaching the specific characteristics of nanotechnologies, of their fields of application and of the controversies which are linked to them. At the junction of Socially acute questions didactics and of the cultural-historical Vygotskian theory, we analyse the knowledge at work in a debate on the promises and risks connected with nanotechnologies. The knowledge mobilized by the students (17- to 18 years-old) in their dialogical interactions can refer back to the archetypal narratives whose origin lies in men’s social and cultural history. Through the joint effect of cumulative talk and exploratory talk, the students co-construct the concepts linked to the Social Ethical Issues: risks and human enhancement. We show that the debate at school leads students to be able to construct reasoned opinion and position themselves in their environment in a responsible way. This educational innovation appears to be relevant for combining the learning of academic and cultural contents with social competencies to an education for engaged citizenship in the field of nanotechnologies.

Trajectory attractors for the Sun-Liu model for nematic liquid crystals in 3D
Creators: name: Frigeri, Sergio

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we prove the existence of a trajectory attractor (in the sense of V.V. Chepyzhov and M.I. Vishik) for a nonlinear PDE system coming from a 3D liquid crystal model accounting for stretching effects. The system couples a nonlinear evolution equation for the director d (introduced in order to describe the preferred orientation of the molecules) with an incompressible Navier-Stokes equation for the evolution of the velocity field u. The technique is based on the introduction of a suitable trajectory space and of a metric accounting for the double-well type nonlinearity contained in the director equation. Finally, a dissipative estimate is obtained by using a proper integrated energy inequality. Both the cases of (homogeneous) Neumann and (non-homogeneous) Dirichlet boundary conditions for d are considered.

What kind of critical university education for sustainable development?
Creators: name: Barthes, Angela
name: Jeziorski, Agnieszka

description: In the course of the institutional integration of education for sustainable development (ESD), university courses have been going through rapid changes, but this process can be blocked or aided by each country’s particular features, whether institutional, financial, cultural or other. This article proposes an examination of the specific socio-educational characteristics of the implementation of ESD based on a study of the social representations of students in three European countries (Germany, France and Poland), and in two types of Master’s level university education. The analysis initially focuses on the differences and similarities in the student research groups. It then analyzes the representational components in terms of the possible impacts on the implementation of ESD at the university from a critical, citizenship perspective. Despite the differences in the students’ representational structures in the various countries, we can see that, in the three national groups, the social representations of sustainable development are highly focused and have a highly fragmented character. The lack of systematization of the different elements of the representation poses barriers to critical education, although this takes different forms in the different countries.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)
subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a GPU parallel implementation of the numeric integration of the Vlasov equation in one spatial dimension based on a second order time-split algorithm with a local modified cubic-spline interpolation. We apply our approach to three different systems with long-range interactions: the Hamiltonian Mean Field, Ring and the self-gravitating sheet models. Speedups and accuracy for each model and different grid resolutions are presented.

Note on the Normalization of Predicted GRB Neutrino Flux
Creators: name: Li, Zhuo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We note that the theoretical prediction of neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by IceCube overestimates the GRB neutrino flux, because they ignore both the energy dependence of the fraction of proton energy transferred to charged pions and the radiative energy loss of secondary pions and muons when calculating the normalization of the neutrino flux. After correction for these facts the GRB neutrino flux is reduced, e.g., by a factor ~5 for typical GRB spectral parameter, and may be consistent with the present zero event detected by IceCube. More observations are important to push the sensitivity below the prediction and test whether GRBs are the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays.

Phase Space Evolution and Discontinuous Schrödinger Waves

description: The problem of Schrödinger propagation of a discontinuous wavefunction -diffraction in time- is studied under a new light. It is shown that the evolution map in phase space induces a set of affine transformations on discontinuous wavepackets, generating expansions similar to those of wavelet analysis. Such transformations are identified as the cause for the infinitesimal details in diffraction patterns. A simple case of an evolution map, such as SL(2) in a two-dimensional phase space, is shown to produce an infinite set of space-time trajectories of constant probability. The trajectories emerge from a breaking point of the initial wave.

Geography and political skills: a case study in a school of education
Creators: name: Doussot, Sylvain
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2012

description: this article is a case study based on the work of a group of students trained to teach. They build a lesson for 10-11-year-old pupils on geography and education for sustainable development aiming at linking civic and social skills to scientific geography. This example is changed in a case study by questioning a prevailing idea about relations between school knowledge and “…educations” (citizenship education, environmental education): disciplines such as geography are serving the development of citizenship skills in order to promote a critical education instead of a standard one. Beyond the questioning, this case study offers alternative ways based on philosophy, history and sociology of science to understand how pupils could become critical citizens. Theses ways focus on the hypothesis of a general skill often unseen though essential to any critical approach of world problems: what knowledge should be used when? Geographical knowledge then refers less to “knowing that”, than to scientific, collective and language practices, specific to the viewpoints built through scientific disciplines; among which, the building of space problems.

The "social frameworks" of teaching high school history: teaching as part of the modernization of Québec society

description: The teaching of academic subjects does not constitute an enclave within society; nor can it be reduced to the initial training teachers receive, training which is primarily psychoeducational, disciplinary, didactic, curricular and practical. Teachers do use justifications for their teaching that proceed from the disciplinary, didactic, curricular and even professional logics that predominate in their initial training, as well as "extra-professional" justifications that refer more broadly to a changing society and culture, to a vast movement modernizing Western societies with which the empowerment of the subject can be associated. History teachers get professional training that prepares them to teach. However, their teaching is, perhaps even more fundamentally, shaped by social frameworks that are external to that training, suggesting that how history is taught is heavily influenced by extra-academic social and cultural structures. Based on remarks from history teachers, we will see that how they justify what they teach relates directly to these structures.
