description: The field of education is where the Aboriginal community can make the mostprofound contribution to the world by its relentless efforts to survive and prosper andin so doing to eradicate the negative effects of colonization. The oldest prophecies tellus that the Aboriginal peoples of the Americas—in particular the Ojibwe of the NorthAmerican region—have this task entrusted to them by the Creator. It is our duty toeducate and illuminate the world by sharing the Sacred Fire that we have kept alive.As one of the last groups of people to experience colonization, First Nations peopleshave managed to keep the fires of this sacred trust burning and thus have survivednear cultural annihilation. The tools with which to do our work were spiritual onesthat were given to us long before this struggle began. In the field of Aboriginalliteracy we have the opportunity to become distinguished for developing a uniquewholistic foundation for the healing and nurturing of minds, bodies, and spirits.Aboriginal literacy is not characterized by assimilation; it involves embracing andfulfilling our unique roles and responsibilities in the Sacred Circle of Life asAboriginal Nations. In this field knowledgeable front-line practitioners are not onlyteachers, but also warriors—in the traditional sense of peacekeepers. They are capableof consciously modeling resilience and Aboriginal ways of life and in the processadvancing the spiritual transformation of humanity.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η σύνθεση ενός κοντσέρτου για πιάνο και ορχήστρα, μέσα από το οποίο να διαφαίνεται η ικανότητα δημιουργίας ενός πρωτότυπου έργου. Το συγκεκριμένο κοντσέρτο αποτελείται από τρία μέρη και έχει διάρκεια περίπου τριάντα λεπτά. Και στα τρία μέρη γίνεται χρήση διάφορων τεχνικών σύνθεσης, όπως νέο-πολυπλοκότητα, εξπρεσιονισμός, ελεύθερη ατονικότητα, τζαζ, αυτοσχεδιασμός. Αναλυτικότερα: το πρώτο μέρος ακολουθεί τη φόρμα σονάτα, το δεύτερο θέμα το φόρμα ροντό και το τρίτο αποτελείται από μια αλληλουχία θεμάτων. Η γραφή του πιάνου θεωρείται υπερβατικής δεξιοτεχνίας. Η γραφή της ορχήστρας λειτουργεί άλλοτε συνοδευτικά προς το πιάνο και άλλοτε αυτόνομη, δίδοντας στο έργο χαρακτήρα συμφωνίας με πιάνο. Η διατριβή αποτελείται επίσης από ένα κείμενο θεωρητικού προσανατολισμού, το οποίο προσεγγίζει την ιστορική και υφολογική εξέλιξη του κοντσέρτου ως είδος σύνθεσης. To κείμενο αυτό ολοκληρώνεται με μια ανάλυση του κοντσέρτου για πιάνο της διατριβής.
description: Aim if this dissertation was the composition of a piano concerto, a work which demonstrates the construction of an original work. This piano concerto consists of three movements and its’ duration is about thirty minutes. All the three movements display various compositional techniques such as new complexity, expressionism, free atonality, jazz, improvisation. Analytically: the first movement follows sonata form; the second movement the rondo form; the third movement consist of a various themes consequence. The piano part is considered as transcended virtuosity. The orchestra part works mostly as piano accompaniment, whoever there are moments that the work sounds like a symphony including piano line. The dissertation also includes a theoretical text, which examines the historical and textural development of concerto, through time. This text also includes a full analysis of the dissertation’s piano concerto.
The Rainbow/Holistic Approach to Aboriginal Literacy
Creators: name: George, Ningwakwe Priscilla
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: Since time immemorial Aboriginal peoples have occupied this land known as Canada. Since time immemorial we have had our various means of communication—with each other and with the Creator—including in our own Aboriginal languages. Since time immemorial we have had our own Indigenous ways of knowing, knowing about Creation and about how to work with it respectfully to live and grow as a whole person, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Since Contact a little over 500 years ago, much of that has changed. Two languages other than our own, English and French, are now recognized as the official languages of this territory. Our own Indigenous ways of knowing and communicating were subordinated in favor of knowledge and means of communication valued by other cultures. The effect of this subordination on the cultural identity of Aboriginal peoples has been detrimental. This presentation draws on scientific and educational research to validate the whole-person approach and highlights poignant words from Aboriginal literacy learners, as well as innovative techniques by Aboriginal literacy practitioners across Canada. These things reflect the benefits of such an approach. That is, Aboriginal literacy programs are using literacy as a means of reclaiming our Aboriginal languages, our Indigenous ways of knowing, and a positive cultural identity for Aboriginal peoples. As Aboriginal peoples we are now reclaiming our culture and traditions. The Rainbow/Holistic Approach to Aboriginal Literacy examines several ways of knowing and communicating, only one of which is the written word in the official languages of Canada. It looks at how long these ways have been in existence and how they contribute to whole-person growth. In fact, recognizing and nurturing spirit, heart, mind, and body equally contributes to a life of balance and in turn positively affects the development of one or more of these ways of knowing and communicating.

Native Literacy: A Living Language
Creators: name: Paulsen, Rhonda L.
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: Literacy has been perceived as being synonymous with culture, tradition, world view, languages, and ways of knowing. In the perspective of Aboriginal peoples, literacy is not restricted to the written word; the true meaning of literacy is not confined to the page. This research shows that when one looks beyond the page and outside the limitations of words, one can begin exploring concepts and evidences of literacy. It is important, particularly when people are maneuvering their way through life and dealing with labels and definitions of literacy and being literate, to see the wholistic vision of ways of knowing and becoming in the lifelong process of learning. For example, when teachings are passed from the Elders to the younger generations, literacy is brought back into the everyday lives of contemporary Native peoples and is infused into the lifelong process of affirming Aboriginality. Literacy, then, is rooted in intergenerational teachings and is active in everyday living; it is a living language. Oral tradition, storytelling, culture, and language: these are aspects encapsulated in the definition of Native literacy explored in this article. As well, the differences between Native and Euro-Western definitions of literacy and the implications in the field of education are addressed. This is particularly important when Native students are measured against Euro-Western standards and their learning ability and aptitude measured accordingly. This article also explores the concept that significant learning occurs beyond the school walls. Learning—and the developmental process of literacy— is never finished; it is a part of everyday living: a lifelong process and a living language.

Speaking Back to the Neoliberal Discourse on Teaching: How U.S. Teachers use Social Media to Redefine Teaching
Creators: name: Shiller, Jessica
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: Through mainstream mass media, neoliberal discourse has come to dominate all social policy realms in the United States. In education, the result has been a commodification of schools and teachers. Social media, however, has allowed individuals to speak back to neoliberal discourses by  providing a space to critique media and to present a counter-narrative to what media has presented. Through an analysis of teacher-authored blogs specifically, this paper uses virtual ethnographic and critical discourse methods to analyze how teachers have been able to challenge the dominant frames about the quality of their own profession, challenge the urge to reduce teaching to improved test scores, and to dismiss the privatization of teacher preparation. In so doing, use social media as a tool for resistance and are able to re-frame teacher quality to the public.

Transformation and Aboriginal Literacy
Creators: name: Peter, Gamlin
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: Literacy is presented in the broadest sense in this article. Being literate is about sus­taining a particular world view and about the survival of a distinct and vital culture. Being literate is about re-symbolizing and reinterpreting past experience while honor­ ing traditional values. Being literate is about living these values in contemporary times. Being literate is about visioning a future in which an Aboriginal way of being will continue to thrive. Meaningful Aboriginal literacy is transformative. It will de­velop and find expression in everything that is done. Basic literacy skills will devolve from a unique and wholistic cultural perspective.

Culturally Framing Aboriginal Literacy and Learning
Creators: name: Antone, Eileen
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: This article examines the importance of literacy as expressed from an Aboriginal perspective as a way of life-based on a holistic worldview. In this article wholistic refers to the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical aspects of human beings and our relationship to the Creator and the environment. It is from this wholistic perspective that as an Aboriginal researcher I examine Aboriginal literacy conceptual frameworks that integrate culturally appropriate ways. Models of developing ways to incorporate traditional Aboriginal knowledge and methodologies into the learning situations of Aboriginal learners are held up here to counter the assimilation process that continues to be detrimental to Aboriginal societies. Although this particular article is concerned specifically with community Aboriginal literacy programs functioning in an English-language setting, Aboriginal practitioners in Aboriginal literacy programs in Ontario incorporate broader goals concerned with safeguarding and reclaiming Aboriginal languages and culture rather than promoting assimilation.

“I want to do Teach for America, not become a teacher.”
Creators: name: Stern, Mark
name: Johnston, D. Kay
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: It’s common to hear a student say, “I want to do Teach for America (TFA), not become a teacher.”  Though the implied terse sentiment about teaching is something we increasingly hear on our liberal arts campus, the way students articulate and emphasize a difference between doing and becoming is telling. In this paper, we focus on how TFA has and continues to compromise the way many think about K-12 education and teacher education programs.  Specifically, we seek to highlight the contradictions between the way TFA trains teachers (doing) and the role the liberal arts can play in teacher education programs (becoming). As many of TFA corps members come from liberal arts campuses, articulating these contradictions is important so that we are able to speak back to the allure of TFA and popular narratives about teaching/education.

An Issue of Equity: Assessing the Cultural Knowledge of Preservice Teachers in Teach for America
Creators: name: Bybee, Eric Ruiz
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: This literature review examines the research on the development of “cultural knowledge” for preservice teachers in Teach for America program. “Cultural knowledge” refers to a teacher’s awareness of the sociopolitical contexts of education and the development of critical consciousness about issues of educational equity. After a brief introduction to the organizational structure of TFA, I will discuss some of the recent research on the organization--much of which has focused on achievement, teacher preparation, and the public policy implications of the program. Then, I will examine themes in the research on the cultural knowledge of preservice teachers’ in traditional preparation programs, which I will contrast with an overview of the literature TFA’s evolving diversity training. Finally, I will consider possible avenues for research on the cultural knowledge of TFA teachers and discuss programmatic changes that will prepare corps members with the cultural competence necessary to work in communities of color.

The Outsized Effects of Equating Teaching with Leadership:  Implications of Teach for America’s Vision for Engaging Teachers in Reform
Creators: name: Gutmann, Laura
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: Although Teach for America (TFA) members encompass a tiny portion of the teaching workforce, the organization both attracts and creates disproportionate attention as part of its quest to develop educators with strong leadership skills.  Because TFA’s mission goes beyond individual classrooms, it has strategically grown its presence in policy arenas and other venues for advocacy and reform in order to create broad influence.  This approach is a controversial departure from traditional preparation programs that prioritize developing sound pedagogy and teaching strategies over leadership capabilities or public activism.  However, it distinguishes TFA participants by positioning them as empowered to drive a particular brand of change.  We can better understand how TFA characterizes their role by examining the messages within their Teaching as Leadership manual and comparing them to themes within mainstream preparation texts like The First Days of School, while considering the implications of differences in the way teaching is defined.

Liberal Neutrality and Critical Pedagogy: Liberalism in Educational Policy, Practice, and Discourse
Creators: name: Stangl, Chris
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2014

description: In spite of the tendencies of neoliberalism, aspects of liberalism still can serve the democracy-advancing goals that should be at the heart of higher education. This article focuses on one of the most promising such principles: the concept of viewpoint neutrality as defined by the Supreme Court. Viewpoint neutrality prohibits public university administrators from censoring or defunding programming sponsored by recognized student organizations, including performances by outside groups invited by said organizations. Viewpoint neutrality mandates official allowance for robust group expression, thereby creating space for student groups to assert critical perspectives in an open forum regardless of what officials, who would be expected typically to favor the neoliberal orthodoxy, would prefer, as the specific case examined in the essay demonstrates.

Wrapped Up in the Flag: Immigration, Ethnic Studies, and Gun Legislation in Arizona
Creators: name: Riemer, Frances Julia
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2014

description: In this article, I direct an anthropological lens to the state's university campuses and to the discursive construction and marketing, as well as the accommodation, negotiation, and contestation of the state's controversial legislation around diversity education and guns. Focusing on tertiary education, I examine both the ways that the rhetoric of liberalism, that of constitutional rights, the nation state, and individualism in particular, has been employed to package and sell the state's anti-Ethnic Studies and pro-gun initiatives, and the discursive struggles in which university communities have been engaged in the attempt to rebut these political incursions. I argue that a liberal discourse has been employed to defend what otherwise might be perceived as discriminatory positions enacted on the state level in Arizona. In this border state, demarcated by ever growing racial and class-based difference, legislation promoting assimilationist pedagogy, and wider gun distribution may be desired, but it is most easily defended when wrapped up in the stars and stripes of liberalism.

Variable regression estimation of unknown system delay
Creators: name: Elnaggar, Ashraf
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes a novel approach to model and estimate systems of unknown delay. The a-priori knowledge available about the systems is fully utilized so that the number of parameters to be estimated equals the number of unknowns in the systems. Existing methods represent the single unknown system delay by a large number of unknown parameters in the system model. The purpose of this thesis is to develop new methods of modelling the systems so that the unknowns are directly estimated. The Variable Regression Estimation technique is developed to provide direct delay estimation. The delay estimation requires minimum excitation and is robust, bounded, and it converges to the true value for first-order and second-order systems. The delay estimation provides a good model approximation for high-order systems and the model is always stable and matches the frequency response of the system at any given frequency. The new delay estimation method is coupled with the Pole Placement, Dahlin and the Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) design and adaptive versions of these controllers result. The new adaptive GPC has the same closed-loop performance for different values of system delay. This was not achievable in the original adaptive GPC. The adaptive controllers with direct delay estimation can regulate systems with dominant time delay with minimum parameters in the controller and the system model. The delay does not lose identifiability in closed-loop estimation. Experiments on the delay estimation show excellent agreement with the theoretical analysis of the proposed methods.

description: Undersection 11.1 of The Alberta Human Rights Act (2009), teachers are now required to give prior written notice to parents when subject matter of religion, human sexuality, and sexual orientation are primarily and explicitly addressed in class. In light of this new legislation, the main intent of this initial one year research project was to examine the policies and procedures of one particular school district to investigate compliance with section 11.1 of the Alberta Human Rights Act. Specifically, we examined: To what extent has section 11.1 changed teachers’ pedagogical practices? As such, this paper has two primary objectives. First, we provide an overview of the background in the lead up to the legislation. Second, we report on the impact of this legislation on teachers’ pedagogical practices. We argue that the ways in which teachers have internalized the legislation has had varying effects on their teaching practice and their professional autonomy. This study will be expanded to consider the effects on curricular practice across the province.

Infinite Jurisdiction: Managing Student Achievement In and Out of School

Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: This article applies the framework of international development to the experiences of Teach for America corps members teaching in urban schools in an attempt to theorize how corps members respond to the extraordinary pressure placed on them to improve student achievement. Further, by closely examining the narratives corps members employ to describe students, families and communities, this chapter raises questions about how far the jurisdiction of the school should extend and suggests that efforts to regulate students’ home lives are analogous to colonialism’s aims to manage, contain and control the futures of its subjects.

Personal Responsibility: The Effects of Becoming a Teach for America Teacher
Creators: name: Maloney, Patricia
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: There has been a great deal of research about Teach for America (TFA) teachers' efficacy and tenure in the classroom.  However, there is little research that examines how TFA (as an organization) recruits for and then shapes the behaviors and attitudes of its teachers, or about the short- and long-term effects of that initiation period.  This paper argues that this initial recruitment and training have clear effects on these teachers' mindset as well as their desire to stay in teaching.  The data for this paper come from a variety of sources, including a three-year ethnography of the same cohort of TFA.  Specifically, the three stages of TFA's recruitment and training practices (recruitment, application, and training) are examined in order to analyze how the TFA staff recruit college students and how they meld a group of recent college graduates with little teaching experience into a relatively uniform group in terms of pedagogical mindset.  This initial training also has a long-term impact in that many alumni have a more nuanced and teacher-centric view of education after they leave the program than before they entered.  For some, the teacher is still the main actor and cause for results in the classroom, but many also understand the effects of other societal factors on educational attainment.

From the Trenches: A Teach for America Corps Member's Perspective
Creators: name: Brewer, T. Jameson
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: This article provides a unique voice on the alternative certification program known as Teach for America’s (TFA). As a traditionally trained educator who entered TFA as a corps member, the author brings a unique auto-ethnographic perspective on TFA.  Combining personal insights with data and theory, the paper addresses TFA’s recruiting practices, the application and interview processes, Institute practices and use of indoctrination, a holistic overview of TFA’s neoliberal theoretical approach to pedagogy, and TFA’s final regional placement of its corps members.  As TFA continues to grow to over 10,000 corps members, critical examination is necessary as TFA becomes evermore present in our nation’s schools.

Creators: name: Brooks, Erinn
name: Greene, Kathleen
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: Teach for America (TFA) charges its recruits with an important mission: ensure that children in low-income communities receive an excellent education. Underlying this charge is the assumption that educational inequity is a problem that can be solved by putting the right teacher in every classroom. A former TFA corps member and an education professor combine memoir and theory to argue that TFA starts the wrong conversation about inequality and demeans traditional teachers in the process. We identify problematic aspects of TFA’s “savior model” by analyzing some of the organization’s practices and values. We also describe how TFA is rooted in neoliberal ideology and supported (both financially and politically) by the corporate education reform movement. Together, these initiatives hide the complex causes of inequality and contribute little to its resolution. We propose changes, recommending TFA better prepare corps members, cooperatively partner with existing teachers, and increase resources for schools.

description: This article explores the contradictions involved in teaching Native studies or First Nations studies in Western educational institutions that require us to teach in decidedly non-Aboriginal ways. If we use the kind of experiential, holistic learning techniques that are typically used in Indigenous communities, our courses and programs are labeled unscholarly and frivolous by the more "academic" programs. The article outlines how as an Indigenous educator I try to negotiate a space in the academy and concludes with one of our most effective teaching tools: a Coyote story.

Haemaphysalis colasbelcouri

description: Haemaphysalis colasbelcouri (Santos Dias, 1958)
 This primitive Haemaphysalis possesses a number of characters similar to those of the former genus Aponomma and was originally named Aponomma colasbelcouri by Santos-Dias (1958). Hoogstraal and Wilson (1966) described Ha. vietnamensis, which proved to be a junior synonym of Ap. colasbelcouri (Camicas et al. 1998; Guglielmone et al. 2009), now correctly classified as Ha. colasbelcouri.
 This is a rare species known from Vietnam and southern and southwestern China (Hoogstraal and Wilson 1966; Phan Trong 1977; Kolonin 1992, 1995; Teng and Jiang 1971). Kolonin (2009) points out that its presence in northern Vietnam is uncertain and that a closely related species might occur there. In addition, he reports that females of this species from Bamun Island (Dao Ba Mun) are intermediate between Ha. colasbelcouri (as Ha. vietnamensis) and Ha. kitaokai, a primitive Haemaphysalis species from East Asia (Hoogstraal 1969; Chen et al. 2010).
 The female is described in Hoogstraal and Wilson (1966) and the male in Kolonin (1992), both as Ha. vietnamensis.

description: Maupassant est très connu pour ses nouvelles, dont l’action se situe souvent dans sa Normandie natale, mais aussi pour ses romans, notamment pour Bel Ami dans lequel il peint le monde du journalisme, et l’ascension de Georges Duroy, devenant Georges Du Roy. Ses deux versions du Horla, bien souvent étudiées au collège, continuent d’intéresser les lecteurs, qui se demandent s’il s’agit d’œuvres de science-fiction ou bien d’une peinture de la folie, voire de sa folie... Car Maupassant est aussi connu pour être mort “fou”. En réalité, c’est la syphilis, qu’il a contractée jeune, qui est responsable de sa dégénérescence neurologique. Pour enrayer cette maladie, très douloureuse, le romancier se rend dans de nombreuses villes d’eaux, notamment à Châtel-Guyon. Si les eaux ne l’ont pas forcément guéri, elles l’ont inspiré, et plusieurs romans et nouvelles ont pour cadre la ville thermale.
description: Maupassant is very famous for his short-stories, which take place in Normandy, his native place, but also for his novels, especially Bel Ami, in which he has draught journalism’s world and the rise to power of George Duroy, who becomes George Du Roy. His two versions of Le Horla, so studied in school, still interest people, who wonder about them : are they science fictions or are they a painting of insanity, and more precisely of his insanity, since Maupassant is also known for having died insane. It’s the syphilis, which he has caught very young, that is responsible for his neurologic degeneration. And, in order to treat his very painful sexually disease, he often goes to spa towns, like Châtel-Guyon. But even if waters haven’t heal Maupassant, they have inspired him, whom several novels and short-stories are set in spa towns.

description: Σκοπός της Διατριβής μου ήταν η δημιουργία μιας σύγχρονης όπερας η οποία να βασίζεται στο θεατρικό κείμενο του Jean Genet «Oι Δούλες». Δημιούργησα μια σειρά από θεματικές ομάδες και θεματικές ενότητες οι οποίες αντιστοιχίζονται σε κάθε έναν από τους τρεις πρωταγωνιστικούς ρόλους και στην συνέχεια ανέπτυξα τα λοιπά μοτίβα που χρησιμοποίησα στην όπερά μου. Παράλληλα με την όπερα, συνέταξα ένα θεωρητικό σύγγραμμα το οποίο παρουσιάζει την μεθοδολογία που χρησιμοποίησα καθώς και μια ανάλυση του έργου. Στο τέλος του συγγράμματος κάνω μια συνοπτική αναφορά -ως επίμετρο- στην βεριστική όπερα του G. Puccini “Tosca”, καθώς και στην εξπρεσιονιστική όπερα του A. Berg “Wozzeck”, καθώς τα χαρακτηριστικά των δύο αυτών ρευμάτων ενυπάρχουν στο έργο μου.
description: The purpose of my thesis was to create a modern opera, based on the theatrical version of Jean Genet «The Maids». I created a series of thematic groups and themes that are assigned to each of the three lead roles and then I developed other patterns that I used in my opera. Along with the opera, I wrote a theoretical treatise which presents the methodology used, as well as an analysis of the opera. At the end of the book I make a brief reference- as an addendum -to the veristic opera of G. Puccini "Tosca", and the expressionistic opera A. Berg "Wozzeck", since the characteristics of these two currents inherent with my opera.

description: Βασικοί σκοποί αυτής της διατριβής ήταν: α) να διερευνήσει τη σημασία, για τον σημερινό πολίτη, της δημόσιας κατανόησης των Φυσικών Επιστημών γενικά και της Αστρονομίας ειδικότερα και β) να διερευνήσει το επίπεδο της δημόσιας κατανόησης των Φυσικών Επιστημών στην Ελλάδα σήμερα. Διατυπώσαμε επιχειρήματα για τη σημασία της δημόσιας κατανόησης των Φυσικών Επιστημών ως εργαλείου επιβίωσης αλλά και ως φωτός που αποκαλύπτει το κάλλος του φυσικού κόσμου. Ειδικότερα, η σημασία της δημόσιας κατανόησης της Αστρονομίας εξετάστηκε σε ξεχωριστό κεφάλαιο. Η διερεύνηση του επιπέδου της δημόσιας κατανόησης των Φυσικών Επιστημών στην Ελλάδα σήμερα έγινε με την εξέταση των αποτελεσμάτων αφενός των διεθνών (που περιλαμβάνουν και την Ελλάδα) ερευνών Ευρωβαρόμετρο και PISA και αφετέρου τεσσάρων δικών μας ερευνών, που έχουμε πραγματοποιήσει στο ΑΠΘ για τον σκοπό αυτό. Οι έρευνες που διεξαγάγαμε στο ΑΠΘ έδειξαν, σε μεγάλο ποσοστό, σημαντικές παρανοήσεις, έλλειψη κατανόησης των φυσικών μηχανισμών, απουσία κριτικής σκέψης και αποδοχή ισχυρισμών της αστρολογίας. Με βάση τα παραπάνω, αλλά και με βάση τα αποτελέσματα των διεθνών ερευνών Ευρωβαρόμετρο και PISA, κρίνεται ότι το επίπεδο της δημόσιας κατανόησης των Φυσικών Επιστημών (και της Αστρονομίας ειδικότερα) στην Ελλάδα σήμερα είναι χαμηλό.
description: The primary goals of this dissertation were: a) to investigate the significance, for the modern citizen, of the public understanding of Science in general and of Astronomy in particular and b) to investigate the current level of public understanding of Science in Greece. We presented arguments for the significance of public understanding of Science as a survival tool and as light revealing the beauty of the physical world. The significance of public understanding of Astronomy, in particular, is discussed in a separate chapter. The estimation of the current level of public understanding of Science in Greece was carried out by considering the results of international surveys (which include Greece) such as Eurobarometer and PISA as well as the results of four surveys we have conducted for this purpose in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The surveys we have conducted in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki showed serious misconceptions, lack of understanding of physical mechanisms, absence of critical thinking and, largely, acceptance of astrological assertions. On these grounds, and also taking into account the results of Eurobarometer and PISA surveys, we conclude that the current level of public understanding of Science (and Astronomy in particular) in Greece is low.
The Silent North: A Case Study on Deafness in a Dene Community
Creators: name: Castleden, Heather
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education

description: This article is based on a case study that explored one northern First Nation's response to deafness in the community. The study examines deafness from a cultural perspective rather than from a medical or pathological framework. Through the use of interviews and observations, participants critically reflected on their evolving perceptions of deafness and the supports and services necessary to create an accessible community. The study identifies that stronger culturally relevant linkages between northern communities and northern health professionals are needed in order to provide support and services that are responsive to the northern context.

A spectral theory for planar dielectric waveguides
Creators: name: Dods, Steven R. A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The problem of electromagnetic wave propagation across the junction of two similar planar dielectric waveguides is analysed, within the Kirchhoff approximation, by expanding the field into transverse variations of all possible modes. It is proven that the expansion can represent any solution for any planar dielectric waveguide. The spectral function is introduced into the representation, and this helps resolve some of the theoretical problems in passing from the limit of closed waveguides to open waveguides. Using the spectral function and the Gel'fand-Levitan integral equation some new exact solutions to novel dielectric planar waveguides can be found. Examples of waveguiding by total internal reflection or by Bragg reflection (which are physically very different processes) can be generated by changing a single parameter in the formulation. Usually the representation for an open dielectric waveguide requires the matrix spectral function. However the Gel'fand-Levitan reconstruction is defined for scalar spectral functions. A technique for constructing the spectral matrix and the scattering solutions from two spectral functions is demonstrated. This technique uses a variational formulation of a scattering experiment. The connection between a dielectric structure and the characteristics of propagation on it is obscure. However the connection between these characteristics and the spectral function is much clearer. It is sometimes possible to make predictions about the properties of the waveguide by looking at its spectral function only. Since the connection between the spectral function and the dielectric structure is well established by inverse spectral theory, introducing the spectral function has been of help in establishing the desired connection between the dielectric structure and the characteristics of propagation on it. Such considerations suggest one of the above waveguides is sensitive to small perturbations and could be used as an electro-optic modulator. Detailed calculations confirm the hypothesis.

description: Ceratopsians underwent great changes including the shift of the locomotion mode, enlarged horns and frills, and increased body size. These changes are along with the changes in endocranial morphology and ecology such as the decrease of the flocculus, the hearing range, the olfactory ratio, and the Reptile Encephalization Quotient. However, the endocranial structures and associated ecology of the earliest ceratopsians are still unknown. Here, we reconstructed the endocasts of three early-diverging ceratopsians including the Late Jurassic Yinlong, and the Early Cretaceous Liaoceratops and Psittacosaurus. These ceratopsians display prominent flocculus, large and separate olfactory bulbs, long and high anterior semicircular canal, and long endosseous cochlear duct. Unlike Liaoceratops and Psittacosaurus, Yinlong exhibits relatively stocky semicircular canals and small flocculus. In Ceratopsia, the evolutional patterns of the endocast include the merging and narrowing of the olfactory bulbs, the disappearing flocculus, the reduction of the anterior semicircular canal, the increasing of the angle between two vertical semicircular canals, and the shortening of the cochlear duct. The endocranial structures suggest early-diverging ceratopsians had a high olfactory acuity and were adapted to hearing high frequencies, unlike the condition of late-diverging ceratopsians with lower olfactory acuity and hearing frequency. Reptile Encephalization Quotient suggests that Yinlong and Psittacosaurus were more encephalized than most extant reptiles and late-diverging ceratopsians. The angle of the lateral semicircular canal suggests that heads in ceratopsians display a transition from an upward posture to a downward posture. The relatively upward head posture indicates that early-diverging ceratopsians could feed more selectively such as to eat some leaves.

Year: 2021

description: This article outlines the results of a qualitative research study of five Aboriginal girls in grade 12 at a Catholic high school in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Using a discursive narrative method in the form of sharing circles, the researcher identified factors that contribute to the success of Aboriginal students in high school. The sharing circle format provided an appropriate cultural method of collecting data, which over two group sessions offered rich stories and experiences of the participants. Their collective voice identified several features as sources of success including family support, teachers' expectations and support, engaging curriculum and cultural relevance, and others.
