description: The Late Triassic was populated by the largest ichthyosaurs known to date, reaching lengths of over 20 m. Recent discoveries include the remains of giant ichthyosaurs from the Austroalpine nappes of the eastern Swiss Alps. The finds come from the lower two members of the Kössen Formation (late Norian to Rhaetian). The material consists of a very large tooth lacking most of the crown from the Rhaetian Schesaplana Member, a postcranial bone association of one very large vertebra and ten rib fragments also from the Schesaplana Member, and an association of seven very large vertebral centra from the upper Norian to lower Rhaetian Alplihorn Member. These associations represent the only published partial skeletons of large to giant ichthyosaurs younger than middle Norian. We compare the material with the two largest ichthyosaurs known from partial skeletons, Shonisaurus popularis (15 m) and Shastasaurus sikkanniensis (21 m) from the late Carnian (ca. 230 Ma) of Nevada and the middle Norian (ca. 218 Ma) of British Columbia, respectively. The incomplete tooth confirms that at least some giant ichthyosaurs had teeth. Based on their proportional differences, the two bone associations may represent two different taxa of Shastasaurus-like ichthyosaurs. The larger and geologically younger specimen may have been nearly the size of S. sikkanniensis, and the smaller that of S. popularis. These giant ichthyosaurs from the eastern Swiss Alps indicate that such ichthyosaurs also colonized the western Tethys. The finds also unequivocally document that giant ichthyosaurs persisted to the latest Triassic.

description: We study the Dirac equation with Coulomb-type vector and scalar potentials in D + 1 dimensions from an su(1, 1) algebraic approach. The generators of this algebra are constructed by using the Schrödinger factorization. The theory of unitary representations for the su(1, 1) Lie algebra allows us to obtain the energy spectrum and the supersymmetric ground state. For the cases where there exists either scalar or vector potential our results are reduced to those obtained by analytical techniques.

“A Good Citizen is What You’ll Be”: Educating Khmer Youth for Citizenship in a United States Migrant Education Program
Creators: name: McGinnis, Theresa Ann
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2015

description: Citizenship education is a complex and multidimensional construct. This article adds to the discussion of citizenship education by examining, ethnographically the ways the “vision” of a US Migrant Education Program is circulated through the program’s discourse practices to Khmer American children of migrant agricultural workers. The article does not discuss the formal legal status of citizenship, but the program coordinators’ beliefs about the skills and dispositions needed for the Khmer youth to become “good citizens.” Within the coordinators’ visions, the fixing of the youth’s perceived deficiencies drive the curriculum, and as such the full participation of the youth as active citizens is not achieved.

description: We show that the emergence of different surface patterns (ripples, dots) can be well understood by a suitable mapping onto the simplest nonequilibrium lattice gases and cellular automata.Using this efficient approach difficult, unanswered questions of surface growth and its scaling can be studied. The mapping onto binary variables facilitates effective simulations and enables one to consider very large system sizes.We have confirmed that the fundamental Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class is stable against a competing roughening diffusion,while a strong smoothing diffusion leads to logarithmic growth, a mean-field type behavior in two dimensions.The model can also describe anisotropic surface diffusion processes effectively. By analyzing the time-dependent structure factor we give numerical estimates for the wavelength coarsening behavior.

Investigating Multiculturalism and Mono-Culturalism Through the Infrastructure of Integration in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Creators: name: Long, Jennifer
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2015

description: This paper explores first-hand experiences of citizenship education specifically-designed for immigrants from the perspective of native Dutch settlement workers and volunteers in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Based on eight months of ethnographic research and in-depth interviews with settlement workers, this article explores how these ‘minor figures’ influence and inform the ‘Infrastructure of Integration’ and reinterpret national Dutch cultural values and norms on a local level. Using past understandings of multiculturalism and the current project of assimilating all non-western Muslim immigrants into Dutch society, this article investigates how these minor figures reproduce exclusionary discourses of belonging to the imagined community of the Netherlands.

Brokering Identity and Learning Citizenship: Immigration Settlement Organizations and New Chinese Immigrants in Canada
Creators: name: Zhu, Yidan
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2015

description: This paper examines citizenship learning and identity construction of new Chinese immigrants in a Canadian immigration settlement organization (ISO). I address the gap between the concept of “settlement” and “citizenship” generated by government-funded ISOs and new immigrants’ actual practices in these programs. I adopt Dorothy Smith’s approach of examining the social organization of people’s everyday lives (Smith 2005) in order to unpack the ruling relations behind the immigrant settlement services and to take the standpoint of Chinese new immigrants. Under this framework, I analyze a Canadian federal government’s funding criteria for ISOs and a settlement program’s annual report to unpack the ruling relations behind the texts. I further conduct in-depth interviews with two Chinese new immigrants in a Canadian ISO to understand the ruling relations behind citizenship learning and brokering activities in Canadian ISOs from the immigrants’ standpoint.

description: Until 1969, Indian agents in Canada formed the strongest link between the Indian Affairs Department, or Branch, and the status Indians of the country. They have received little specific scholarly attention , however. This thesis is a case study of the role played by the Indian agents in the northern Alberta community of Fort Chipewyan. The first three agents, resident in the settlement from 1932 to 1943 collectively, were physicians first, and Indian agents second. Jack Stewart, a Cree-speaking former fur trader, took over the agency in 1944, and soon assumed a strong leadership role in the community . Whatever their administrative styles, all of the agents shared local autonomy from the political side of Indian Affairs, a desire to see the Amerindians stay independent on their traplines, and, unfortunately, powerlessness in the face of the economic and social forces that would rob the Indians of their way of life.

Raising Citizens: Parenting Education Classes and Somali Mothers’ Experiences of Childrearing in Canada
Creators: name: Fellin, Melissa
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2015

description: Mothers are viewed as the people who are raising future citizens of Canada; therefore, their parenting practices are being targeted for intervention by civic organizations funded by the state. In this article, I argue that modernity narratives and neoliberalism approaches to mothering inform parenting education classes for Somali refugee women to Canada. Thus, Somali women are often seen as victims. Stereotyped identities conceal their social and historical agency. This research draws on 15 individual interviews with Somali mothers and participant- observation in two parenting education classes in Canada.

description: The spectral energy distribution (SED) in chemically peculiar stars may be significantly affected by their abundance anomalies. The observed SED variations are usually assumed to be a result of inhomogeneous surface distribution of chemical elements, flux redistribution and stellar rotation. However, the direct evidence for this is still only scarce. We aim to identify the processes that determine the SED and its variability in the UV and visual spectral domains of the helium-weak star CU Vir. We used the model atmospheres to obtain the emergent flux and predict the rotationally modulated flux variability of the star. We show that most of the light variations in the vby filters of the Stromgren photometric system are a result of the uneven surface distribution of silicon, chromium, and iron. Our models are only able to explain a part of the variability in the u filter, however. The observed UV flux distribution is very well reproduced, and the models are able to explain most of the observed features in the UV light curve. The variability observed in the visible is merely a faint gleam of that in the UV. While the amplitude of the light curves reaches only several hundredths of magnitude in the visual domain, it reaches about 1 mag in the UV. The visual and UV light variability of CU Vir is caused by the flux redistribution from the far UV to near UV and visible regions, inhomogeneous distribution of the elements and stellar rotation. Bound-free transitions of silicon and bound-bound transitions of iron and chromium contribute the most to the flux redistribution. This mechanism can explain most of the rotationally modulated light variations in the filters centred on the Paschen continuum and on the UV continuum of the star CU Vir. However, another mechanism(s) has to be invoked to fully explain the observed light variations in the u filter and in the region 2000-2500 A.

The Impact of Molecular Hydrogen Cooling on the Galaxy Formation Threshold

description: We study the impact of molecular (${\rm H_2}$) and atomic (HI) hydrogen cooling on the galaxy formation threshold. We calculate the fraction of dark matter (DM) halos that exceeds a critical mass required for star formation, $M_{\mathrm{crit}}(z)$, as a function of their peak mass. By convolving analytic halo mass accretion histories (MAHs) with models for $M_{\mathrm{crit}}(z)$, we predict that halos with peak virial masses below $\sim 10^8~M_{\mathrm{\odot}}$ can form stars before reionization through ${\rm H_2}$ cooling. These halos remain dark when only HI cooling and reionization are modeled. However, less than $\approx 10\%$ of halos with peak masses below $\sim 10^{7}~M_{\mathrm{\odot}}$ ever exceed $M_{\mathrm{crit}}(z)$, even when ${\rm H_2}$ cooling is included; this threshold is primarily set by relative streaming motion between DM and baryons imprinted at recombination. We obtain similar results using subhalo MAHs from an extremely high-resolution cosmological DM--only zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way (MW) analog (particle mass $6.3\times 10^3~M_{\mathrm{\odot}}$). Based on the abundance of MW satellites, these results imply that at least some known ultra-faint dwarf galaxies formed through ${\rm H_2}$ cooling. This work sharpens predictions for the galaxy formation threshold and demonstrates how its essential features emerge from the underlying distribution of halo growth histories.

description: We present a model to self-consistently describe the joint evolution of starburst galaxies and the galactic wind resulting from this evolution. We combine the population synthesis code Starburst99 with a semi-analytical model of galactic outflows and a model for the distribution and abundances of chemical elements inside the outflows. Starting with a galaxy mass, formation redshift, and adopting a particular form for the star formation rate, we describe the evolution of the stellar populations in the galaxy, the evolution of the metallicity and chemical composition of the interstellar medium (ISM), the propagation of the galactic wind, and the metal-enrichment of the intergalactic medium (IGM). In this paper, we study the properties of the model, by varying the mass of the galaxy, the star formation rate, and the efficiency of star formation. Our main results are the following: (1) For a given star formation efficiency f*, a more extended period of active star formation tends to produce a galactic wind that reaches a larger extent. If f* is sufficiently large, the energy deposited by the stars completely expels the ISM. Eventually, the ISM is being replenished by mass loss from supernovae and stellar winds. (2) For galaxies with masses above 10^11 Msun, the material ejected in the IGM always falls back onto the galaxy. Hence lower-mass galaxies are the ones responsible for enriching the IGM. (3) Stellar winds play a minor role in the dynamical evolution of the galactic wind, because their energy input is small compared to supernovae. However, they contribute significantly to the chemical composition of the galactic wind. We conclude that the history of the ISM enrichment plays a determinant role in the chemical composition and extent of the galactic wind, and therefore its ability to enrich the IGM.

description: The linear instability of thin, vertically-isothermal Keplerian discs, under the influence of axial magnetic field is investigated. Solutions of the stability problem are found explicitly by asymptotic expansions in the small aspect ratio of the disc. It is shown that the perturbations are decoupled into in-plane and vertical modes. Exact expressions for the growth rates as well as the number of unstable modes are derived. Those are the discrete counterpart of the continuous infinite homogeneous cylinder magnetorotational (MRI) spectrum. In addition, a weakly nonlinear analysis of the MRI is performed. It is shown that near the instability threshold the latter is saturated by the stable magnetoacoustic modes.

description: This article examines the experiences of final year undergraduate sociology students enrolled in an internship course where they researched a local community project, mostly in small groups, for a client. A sociology lecturer supervised their projects. Course-related outcomes were assessed using conventional university procedures but a research process was used to evaluate the extent to which the cohort developed characteristics, or identities, of qualitative researchers.  The research demonstrates that the students made many false starts but through processes of trial and error, and with effective support, they considered that they had increased their confidence and became capable of planning and carrying out research. For the students, this internship was not just another class.  Their stories reflect on their abilities as researchers and adoption of attitudes towards appropriate research approaches, processes and outputs typical of professional qualitative researchers.

What’s Wrong With Secondary School Economics and How Teachers Can Make it Right - Methodological Critique and Pedagogical Possibilities
Creators: name: Brant, Jacek Wiktor
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2016

description: In the wake of current world financial crisis serious efforts are being made to rethink the dominant economic assumptions. There is a growing movement in universities to make economics more relevant and to embrace an understanding of diverse models. Additionally, philosophical schools such as critical realism have provided new tools for thinking about economics. However, not much attention has been paid to relate these developments to school economics and this paper aims to respond to this need. It is about economics as a discipline, school economics and issues pertaining to the teaching and learning of school economics. Mainstream economists focus predominately on static neo-classical models that are poor predictors of the future and do not even adequately explain current states of affairs. I argue that conceptualised differently, economics can be seen as a social science, concerned with understanding the often conflicting values, interests, and capacities of large numbers of individuals operating within the constraints of limited resources. In line with this orientation, I recommend that economics teachers start engaging in exploring the purpose of economics and adopt an interactive pedagogy that seeks to explain the world in which we live.

Economics from a Different Point of View − Good Practice in Teacher Training: How to Handle, Use and Judge External Standardized Tests in Schools
Creators: name: Prieß-Buchheit, Julia Claire
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2016

description: The Economic Actions in Education training module (EAE) teaches how to handle, use and judge external standardized tests in schools. The EAE programme was implemented in teacher training at the University of Kiel, because teachers are increasingly under external scrutiny and are being held accountable for student and school achievements. The EAE programme includes a reader (in English), through which prospective teachers understand and analyze core terms of the field. Furthermore, different didactical methods such as think-pair-share, role play and short lectures provide a group dynamic in which students gain an insight into standardized tests at a macro level. Students learn what is involved in standardized tests and they develop the ability to make a critical judgement about how they will use or refuse standardized tests in schools. EAE enables teachers to use standardized tests for curriculum and instruction improvement as well as refuse standardized tests to highlight autonomous teaching and decline governance from outside.

description: Since the beginning of the 21st century, academics in various disciplines have stressed the need to address democratic deficits in Europe as well as lacunae in the citizenship development of European youth. In this article we explore the value of various types of democratic engagement for strengthening the democratic character of local and international communities throughout Europe. To this end, we present our democratic engagement typology and its derivation from empirical and conceptual research, and discuss several strengths and limitations of each type of engagement. We also explain the additive value of our typology in relation to existing engagement typologies, and conclude that in order to vitalize democratic communities, local and (inter)national communities and institutions also need to cultivate a thick type of democratic engagement among European youth.

Iranian EFL Teachers’ Voices on the Pedagogy of Word and World
Creators: name: Safari, Parvin

Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2016

description: Critical pedagogy (CP) with the eventual aim of creating changes in society towards the socially just world rests upon the premise that language learning is understood as a sociopolitical event. Schools and classrooms are not merely seen as the neutral and apolitical sites or oxymoron of transmitting taken-for-granted knowledge and common sense to students but rather as the political and democratic sites in which teachers, through praxis-oriented activities, furnish opportunities for students to critically question oppressive systems, hierarchies, and sociopolitical inequalities. Through the connection of word to the world, or the relationship between classroom learning and students’ lived experiences and worlds, teachers can create social transformation and empowerment in the marginalized students’ lives. However, teachers as the transformative intellectuals can facilitate this transformative process only if they are equipped with the critical theories, theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of CP. A brief look at the CP literature reveals that most of the researches center on its theories and conceptual dimensions without presenting any pragmatic discourse or practical realizations to critical pedagogues. In fact, this study intends to investigate the problems, concerns, and frustrations that Iranian EFL teachers encounter while enacting this alternative pedagogy. So, the researchers adopted purposive sampling to choose thirty-four EFL teachers from private English language institutes in Tehran, Yazd and Shiraz, Iran; and focused interview as the appropriate data gathering instrument of qualitative research. Finally, the researchers unearthed the relevant themes concerning the practical dimensions as the supplementary components of CP in EFL context of Iran.

description: An Art Museum for Children should take into account the changing role of the museum in society. It should have some recognition of the historical typology although adapted for contemporary use and meaning. The proposed project integrates the elements of the historical typology and the contemporary role of the museum within a meaningful environment for children. The proposed project is expressive of the user group. It reflects the differences between how an adult might use a building and how a child might use it by taking into account the development of the cognitive map and the limited ranging patterns of small children. As a museum is a pedagogical institution the proposed design focuses on how children learn about art and about the built environment and acknowledges the importance of play in this process. Lastly, the museum experience will be considered as part of every-day life rather than a distinct event. The proposed project facilitates physical and social integration within the urban fabric.

description: On May 26–28, 2015, the University of Helsinki acted as the host for the fifth Nordic Conference on Subject Didactics. For historical reasons the Nordic societies have in a global view remarkably intimate contacts with each other. Short distance, affinities of cultural and political traditions, and the density of social networks between them since centuries back in time have conduced to vibrant Nordic collaboration in the number of fields ranging from politics and economy to science and education. This is visible also in the governmental and non-governmental networks in educational sciences. A recent example of this collaboration are the Nordic conferences on subject didactics, the first of which took place in Oslo, in 2007.

Deep Mixing in Evolved Stars. II. Interpreting Li Abundances in RGB and AGB Stars

description: We reanalyze the problem of Li abundances in red giants of nearly solar metallicity. After an outline of the problems affecting our knowledge of the Li content in low-mass stars (M<3Mo), we discuss deep-mixing models for the RGB stages suitable to account for the observed trends and for the correlated variations of the carbon isotope ratio; we find that Li destruction in these phases is limited to masses below about 2.3 Mo. Subsequently, we concentrate on the final stages of evolution for both O-rich and C-rich AGB stars. Here, the constraints on extra-mixing phenomena previously derived from heavier nuclei (from C to Al), coupled to recent updates in stellar structure models (including both the input physics and the set of reaction rates used), are suitable to account for the observations of Li abundances below A(Li)= log e(Li) = 1.5 (and sometimes more). Also their relations with other nucleosynthesis signatures of AGB phases (like the abundance of F, the C/O and 12C/13C ratios) can be explained. This requires generally moderate efficiencies (\dot M <= 0.3 - 0.5 x 10^-6 Mo/yr) for non-convective mass transport. At such rates, slow extra-mixing does not modify remarkably Li abundances in early-AGB phases; on the other hand, faster mixing encounters a physical limit in destroying Li, set by the mixing velocity. Beyond this limit, Li starts to be produced; therefore its destruction on the AGB is modest. Li is then significantly produced by the third dredge up. We also show that effective circulation episodes, while not destroying Li, would easily bring the 12C/13C ratios to equilibrium, contrary to the evidence in most AGB stars, and would burn F beyond the limits shown by C(N) giants. Hence, we do not confirm the common idea that efficient extra-mixing drastically reduces the Li content of C-stars with respect to K-M giants.

Ergodicity Breaking and Parametric Resonances in Systems with Long-Range Interactions

description: We explore the mechanism responsible for the ergodicity breaking in systems with long-range forces. In thermodynamic limit such systems do not evolve to the Boltzmann-Gibbs equilibrium, but become trapped in an out-of-equilibrium quasi-stationary-state. Nevertheless, we show that if the initial distribution satisfies a specific constraint - a generalized virial condition - the quasi- stationary-state is very close to ergodic and can be described by Lynden-Bell statistics. On the other hand if the generalized virial condition is violated, parametric resonances are excited, leading to chaos and ergodicity breaking.

Globalisierung - in soziologischer Perspektive
Creators: name: Trinczek, Rainer
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2002
Subjects: -

description: Globalisierung ist ohne Zweifel eines der zentralen 'catch words' in den sozialwissenschaftlichen Debatten der 1990er Jahre gewesen. In diesem Beitrag wird versucht, relevante Aspekte des einschlägigen soziologischen Diskurses zu skizzieren. Dabei werden fünf Punkte bearbeitet: Zunächst wird eine knappe Begriffsbestimmung von Globalisierung vorgenommen, um dann kurz auf die Geschichte der soziologischen Globalisierungsdebatte einzugehen. In einem dritten Punkt wird ein stichpunktartiger Überblick über die wichtigsten Themenfelder gegeben, die aktuell in der Soziologie unter dem Stichwort "Globalisierung" bearbeitet werden. Anschließend werden am Beispiel der "Globalisierung der Wirtschaft" mit der "objektivistischen" und der "konstruktivistischen" die beiden wesentlichen soziologischen Perspektiven auf die aktuellen Globalisierungsphänomene beschrieben. Schließlich wird abschließend darüber reflektiert, was Globalisierung für die Disziplin Soziologie bedeutet, die bekanntlich traditionell eher nationalstaatlich orientiert ist.

First results from high-contrast imaging with JWST in the landscape of ESO instrumentation
Creators: name: Kammerer, Jens
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The recently commissioned James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) opens up a new parameter space for the exploration of exoplanets and circumstellar disks. I will present observations of two substellar companions and one debris disk from the high-contrast imaging JWST ERS program that demonstrate, for the first time, sensitivity to young sub-Jupiter mass planets and access to the full luminous range of cooling gas giants and brown dwarfs. Synergies with SPHERE (and soon ERIS) exist for the spectral characterization of exoplanet atmospheres and disks, but both JWST and SPHERE also have uniquely accessible parameter space in angular separation and contrast depth. Furthermore, JWST’s unprecedented sensitivity enables the detection of forming planets whose existence has been inferred from dynamical modeling of protoplanetary disks observed with ALMA. At small angular separations, JWST’s interferometric aperture masking mode provides moderate contrast down to the diffraction limit and covers a parameter space overlapping with that of GRAVITY, but at longer wavelengths. Near-infrared K-band data from the ground can be combined with L- and M-band observations from space to study dust clouds and disequilibrium chemistry in exoplanetary and brown dwarf atmospheres. In the future, MICADO and METIS on the E-ELT will push towards smaller separations and higher contrasts in the near-infrared and enable the observation of a small number of nearby and mature Neptunes in thermal emission.
Umstrittene Globalisierung. Staat und Welt als Bezugssysteme des Handelns im Prozess der Globalisierung
Creators: name: Zündorf, Lutz
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2002
Subjects: -

description: In diesem Beitrag wird Globalisierung als Prozess der Umstellung von Bezugssystemen des Denkens und Handelns von "Staat" auf "Welt" konzipiert. Von der klassischen Definition des Nationalstaates ausgehend, werden zuerst drei staatszentrierte Bezugssysteme (Rechtsstaat, Sozialstaat, Territorialstaat) skizziert. Im zweiten Schritt werden globale Bezugssysteme (Welt als einheitlicher Markt, als Gefüge von Herrschaftsgebilden, als Konglomerat von Kulturen) umrissen. Die Argumentation läuft darauf hinaus, zu zeigen, dass es sich bei diesen Konzeptionen keineswegs um geschlossene und harmonische Gesellschafts- und Weltbilder handelt; vielmehr enthält jedes der sechs Bezugsysteme spezifische Spannungs- und Konfliktlinien, aus denen sich ihre jeweilige Dynamik speist. Im dritten Schritt werden Prozesse der Umstellung der Bezugssysteme in Richtung Globalität auf drei Ebenen analysiert: auf der Ebene umfassender historischer Prozesse, auf der Ebene staatlichen Handelns und auf der Ebene individueller Akteure.

Ein "global orientiertes Geschichtsbewusstsein" als zukünftige Herausforderung der Geschichtsdidaktik?
Creators: name: Popp, Susanne
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2002
Subjects: -

description: Für den Geschichtsunterricht, der in seinem Kerncurriculum nationalhistorisch ausgerichtet ist, stellt die Globalisierung eine große Herausforderung dar. Der Beitrag untersucht die Frage, ob und in welcher Weise die aktuelle deutsche Geschichtsdidaktik sich mit dem Thema der "Globalisierung" auseinandersetzt, und stellt die Schwierigkeiten für eine ernsthafte Annäherung an dieses Thema dar. Denn, so wird gezeigt, der Weg zu einer angemessenen geschichtsdidaktischen Antwort auf die Herausforderungen der Globalisierung kann nicht auf dem Weg zusätzlicher Inhalte gefunden werden, sondern erfordert eine konzeptionelle Herangehensweise. Deshalb skizziert der Beitrag in knapper Form neue historische Ansätze einer "globally conceptualized world history" und leitet daraus erste geschichtsdidaktische Überlegungen ab. Des weiteren werden Geschichtscurricula aus anderen Ländern, die sich mit "world history" befassen, dargestellt, diskutiert und auf Anregungen für die geschichtsdidaktische Diskussion befragt. Sie können die keine fertigen Lösungen bieten, doch Wahrnehmung der Probleme schärfen und Impulse für die geschichtsdidaktische Diskussion geben.

subject: 05C99

description: We extend the concept of the law of a finite graph to graphings, which are, in general, infinite graphs whose vertices are equipped with the structure of a probability space. By doing this, we obtain a vast array of new unimodular measures. Furthermore, we work out in full detail a proof of a known result, which states that weak limits preserve unimodularity.

description: Der Terminus Globalisierung bildet einen schillernden Begriff im Spannungsverhältnis von Hoffnungen und Ängsten. Die Hoffnungen beziehen sich auf die Verbesserungen wirtschaftlicher, politischer und sozialer Zustände, die Ängste auf deren Verschlechterung. Die mit dem Begriff Globalisierung umschriebenen Strukturveränderungen und Modernisierungsprozesse stellen zwar kein grundsätzlich neues Phänomen dar. Doch haben die technischen Innovationen im Bereich der Informationstechnologien sowie politische Deregulierungsentscheidungen der Internationalisierung weltweit vernetzter wirtschaftlicher und finanztechnischer Aktivitäten eine neue Qualität verliehen. Zur Ausbildung (wirtschafts-)politischer Urteilsfähigkeit bei den Schülerinnen und Schülern ist vor diesem Hintergrund eine differenzierte unterrichtliche Auseinandersetzung mit den unterschiedlichen Facetten der Globalisierung vonnöten. Neben den dezidiert wirtschaftlichen Implikationen des Lerngegenstandes Globalisierung muss dabei auch dessen politische Dimension adäquat Berücksichtigung finden. Das Konzept der "global governance" zur Rückgewinnung politischer Steuerungsfähigkeit unter den Bedingungen der Globalisierung kann hier für globales Lernen richtungsweisend werden.

description: Nach einer Periode, während der sie in der englischen Bildungspolitik vernachlässigt wurde, erhält ökonomische Bildung z. Zt. mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Dieses Papier beschreibt neue Entwicklungen in Politik und Praxis in England und konzentriert sich auf die Ziele ökonomischer Bildung. Insbesondere überprüft es das Verhältnis zwischen diesen Zielen und dem Schwerpunkt, den das Curriculum zur politischen Bildung auf das Verstehen von unterschiedlichen Interessen und Perspektiven legt. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass die Festlegung von Prüfungsinhalten in England einige Hinweise für zukünftige Politik gibt, während die vergangene Praxis zusammenhanglos war. Es wird argumentiert, dass die Verwendung des Prinzipal-Agent-Modells einen klaren und nützlichen Rahmen dafür bilden könnte, mit dem Problem der vielfältigen Interessen und Perspektiven umzugehen die Lernenden darauf vorzubereiten, als Prinzipale und Agenten zu handeln.
