title: Surrogacy and commercial surrogacy in Canada: understanding the domestic landscape and Canada’s role in cross-border reproductive care
Creators: name: Scott, Talston
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2025

description: Surrogacy, a practice in which a woman agrees to carry a pregnancy for another couple or individual, raises many important questions and concerns regarding ethics, equity, and health. This is especially true in cases of paid or commercial surrogacy. Despite non-commercial surrogacy being legal in Canada, the practice is poorly understood in part due to unclear legislation and regulation and a lack of empirical research. The purpose of this study was to explore the thoughts, perceptions, and attitudes Canadian reproductive health service users hold towards surrogacy and commercial surrogacy and to investigate the role Canada may be playing in international markets of commercial surrogacy and cross-border reproductive care. Our study showed that Canadian reproductive health service users are overwhelmingly supportive of surrogacy and wish it was more accessible. Support for commercial surrogacy was more limited, in part due to the major barriers that cost and accessibility already pose to accessing assisted reproductive health services in Canada. We also found that Canada continues to play a role in international markets of commercial surrogacy and cross-border reproductive care, with many Canadian reproductive health service users viewing international commercial surrogacy as a viable option to have a family.
Spin turbulence in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We summarize the recent theoretical and numerical works on spin turbulence (ST) in spin-1 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. When the system is excited from the ground state, it goes through hy- drodynamic instability to ST in which the spin density vector has various disordered direction. The properties of ST depend on whether the spin-dependent interaction is ferromagnetic or antiferro- magnetic. ST has some characteristics different from other kinds of turbulence in quantum fluids. Firstly, the spectrum of the spin-dependent interaction energy exhibits the characteristic power law different from the usual Kolmogorov -5/3 law. Secondly, ST can show the spin-glass-like behavior; the spin density vectors are spatially random but temporally frozen.

I  hope  you  will  allow  me  a  few  opening  words before passing the microphone to Christopher Fynsk, who will inaugurate this conference with an opening address.When I signed the funding contract with soros, one of the main sponsors of this conference, I signed under the condition that this conference would not engage in what is  called  “lobbying.”  Lobbying,  according  to  the  definition  that  was  presented  to  me,  means “certain efforts to influence legislation.” Without engaging in a thorough decon-structive reading of what such “certain efforts” may mean in the context of a conference dedicated to thinking through the current predicament of pedagogical practices in the humanities and philosophy in specific, I would like to share a short observation with you.

description: We derive a new high-order compact finite difference scheme for option pricing in stochastic volatility models. The scheme is fourth-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time. Under some restrictions, theoretical results like unconditional stability in the sense of von Neumann are presented. Where the analysis becomes too involved we validate our findings by a numerical study. Numerical experiments for the European option pricing problem are presented. We observe fourth-order convergence for non-smooth payoff.

description: We propose practical schemes for concentrating entanglement of a pair of unknown partially entangled Bell states and three-photon W states with cross-Kerr nonlinearity. In the schemes, utilizing local operations and classical communication, two separated parties can obtain one maximally entangled photon pair from two previously shared partially entangled photon pairs, and three separated parties can obtain one maximally entangled three-photon W state and a maximally entangled cluster state from two identical partially entangled three-photon W state with a certain success probability. Finally, we discuss the influences of sources of errors and decoherence on the schemes. The proposed setup is very simple, just employing some linear optical elements and cross-Kerr medium, which greatly simplifies the experimental realization of the schemes. The schemes are feasible within current experimental technology

description: We consider the relaxation of an excited two-level system (TLS) positioned near a spherical plasmonic nanoparticle (NP). The transition frequency of the TLS is assumed to coincide with the frequency of the condensation point of NP plasmonic resonances. We show that the relaxation of the TLS excitation is a two-step process. Following an initial exponential decay, the TLS breaks in to Rabi oscillations. Depending upon the distance between the TLS and NP, the probability of the TLS being in the excited state exhibits either chaotic or nearly regular oscillations. In the latter case, the eigenfrequency of the TLS-NP system coincides with one of NP multipole modes.

description: When Plato sets out to think the possibility of a just city-state his inaugural gesture is to  name  a  practice  that  rivals  philosophy  and  its  ambition:  theater.  He  then  bans  its  very existence from the republic: theater in-exists in the just city. In his Eloge de théâtre, Alain Badiou identifies the rivalry with theater as constitutive for philosophy. That is to say, philosophy does not merely position itself with regard to theater, but comes to a sense of its own identity by excluding the theatrical.1 The stakes of this rivalry concern none  other  than  the  aisthēsis  –  the  presentation  or  appearing  –  of  the  city-state  itself.  In  philosophy’s  attempt  to  bring  order  to  the  appearances  of  the  city-state,  it  proves  impossible to accommodate the practice of theater, precisely because theater consists in an intervention into those appearances. For Plato, theater is a form of degraded imi-tation. The actor imitates the professions of the city, he presents the mere appearance of savoir-faire without being actually anchored in any productive exchange. Both the actor and the playwright are thus subtracted from Plato’s grand rule of justice: every person to  his  or  her  place  and  function.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  the  tragedians  are  expelled  from the city.

Sandy Hook University: Poetic Violence, Scope, and Style of Imagination

description: The user in technics marks a departure for the human side of an ambit. Academia fol-lows the act: essays may be graded by software, e-readers track student eye movement reporting to an education manager what the student purportedly read. Increasingly, re-lation is deported to the online classroom or the hybrid space of Learning Management Systems.Purportedly serving intellectual freedom and humanity, universities will inevitably collapse  into  technics.  Our  lingering  delusion  that  state  universities  serve  a  national  purpose  and  preserve  this  alongside  the  interest  of  global  capitalism  is  well  known.  However this delusion, allusion, illusion is given, it is powered by imagination and the human task is to reclaim access and care for it. Technological order, what governs sig-nificantly the production of the world and the presentation of nature to human thought has quickly placed the imagination as its final prize. Conversely if the university mirage cast a shadow over the reality of technics, the other side of an imaginative ambit opens toward an ethics of imagination.
Fate of Majorana fermions and Chern numbers after a quantum quench

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The stability of Majorana fermions at the edges of a two-dimensional topological supercondutor is studied, after quenches to either non-topological phases or other topological phases. Both instantaneous and slow quenches are considered. In general, the Majorana modes decay and, in the case of instantaneous quenches, their revival times scale to infinity as the system size grows. Considering fast quantum quenches within the same topological phase, leads, in some cases, to robust edge modes. Quenches to a topological $Z_2$ phase reveal some robustness of the Majorana fermions. Comparing strong spin-orbit coupling with weak spin-orbit coupling, it is found that the Majorana fermions are fairly robust, if the pairing is not aligned with the spin-orbit Rashba coupling. It is also shown that the Chern number remains invariant after the quench, until the propagation of the mode along the transverse direction reaches the middle point, beyond which the Chern number oscillates between increasing values. In some cases, the time average Chern number seems to converge to the appropriate value, but often the decay is very slow. The effect of varying the rate of change in slow quenches is also analysed. It is found that the defect production is non-universal and does not follow the Kibble-Zurek scaling with the quench rate, as obtained before for other systems with topological edge states.

description: The nonlinear problem of steady free-surface flow past a submerged source is considered as a case study for three-dimensional ship wave problems. Of particular interest is the distinctive wedge-shaped wave pattern that forms on the surface of the fluid. By reformulating the governing equations with a standard boundary-integral method, we derive a system of nonlinear algebraic equations that enforce a singular integro-differential equation at each midpoint on a two-dimensional mesh. Our contribution is to solve the system of equations with a Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov method together with a banded preconditioner that is carefully constructed with entries taken from the Jacobian of the linearised problem. Further, we are able to utilise graphics processing unit acceleration to significantly increase the grid refinement and decrease the run-time of our solutions in comparison to schemes that are presently employed in the literature. Our approach provides opportunities to explore the nonlinear features of three-dimensional ship wave patterns, such as the shape of steep waves close to their limiting configuration, in a manner that has been possible in the two-dimensional analogue for some time.

Towards networks of predictive twins in the Built Environment

description: The construction and infrastructure sector faces enormous challenges, such as the eve of a major replacement and renovation task for existing civil infrastructure. 1) The sector is also moving towards circular construction (goal: circular by 2050) and the existing built environment must be energy-neutral by 2050. 2) A widely supported view is that these challenges and the associated adaptations to the built environment can only be realised through the intensive use of advanced digital solutions. 3) These make it possible to increase the productivity of the sector and to innovate much faster. But how are digital solutions really going to make a difference to these challenges? TNO sees a crucial role for predictive digital twins, or ‘predictive twins’. 4) These are predictive digital replicas of physical structures such as bridges, tunnels, homes and offices. With these twins, the future behaviour and use of structures and networks of structures can be predicted and influenced. This step towards predictive twins is crucial for proactive decision-making on structures and networks of structures based on data, learning predictive models and simulations.
A Call for Thinking (The Disaster)

description: This  is  to  think  thinking  as  such.  As  such,  the  thinking  to  be  thought  here  is  to  give  thought to thinking or, rather, to give back thought to thinking. For it is here, as it was elsewhere,  at  the  National  Historical  Museum  in  Tirana  that  is,  that  I  want  to  think  the elsewhere; an elsewhere to no end. For it is here, where everything seems to have come to yet another end (philosophy, history, the world as such), here, where the end, it seems, has become an end in itself, that there is also no end to the end of the university– be it “in ruins” (as Bill Readings named his book2), be it “in crisis” or be it simply “yet to  come.”  Here,  however,  I  do  not  wish  to  dwell  in  the  ruins  of  the  university.3  Long  declared dead, I do not want to deliver yet another eulogy, for it is precisely with and by its end that the university is violently brought back to its roots (= its etymology) of being a/s “whole.” The university, today, once again, is made universal: the university is made, the university no longer makes. Here I wish to violently break this vicious circle, as if it were a circle. Here I will, for once, and perhaps only once, and only for such once perhaps, pretend to be able to step outside – just once. Here, to come full circle, I will attempt to step outside these crises and think on thinking – as if it were possible. Here, if you allow me this metaphysical faux pas, I want to step back, outside these beyonds, and to reexamine Derrida’s question: “Today, how can we not speak of the university?”4Today, thirty years after, how can we not speak of the university, but instead re-open the Heideggerian  call  for  thinking?5  How  can  we,  then,  today,  not  speak  of  the  university,  but instead rethink the question of thinking?
title: Taxonomic and biological findings on thyasirid bivalves from the Canadian Arctic and Eastern Canada
Creators: name: Dove, Rachelle M.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2024

description: The Thyasiridae are small marine clams common in cold waters, including around the Canadian Arctic and Eastern Canada. Some thyasirid species form nutritional symbioses with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and may act as ecosystem engineers in sediments recovering from organic enrichment. Using thyasirids as ecological indicators requires accurate species identification, and there is a lack of taxonomic attention to thyasirid species across large geographic areas. This thesis aims to improve our understanding and ability to identify 5 thyasirid species (Thyasira cf. dunbari, T. cf. equalis, T. plana, T. cf. gouldi, and Axinopisda orbiculata) occurring in the Canadian Arctic and Eastern Canada, based on the study of multiple characters (anatomical, genetic, and symbiotic). Examination of the recently discovered T. cf. gouldi complex led to the reinstatement of a formerly synonymized species, T. plana. Chemosymbiosis is confirmed for the first time in arctic thyasirids, namely in T. cf. gouldi; other thyasirids from this region are asymbiotic. New taxonomically informative gene sequences are presented, and a re-examination of the distribution of thyasirid species notably revealed T. cf. dunbari occurrences at lower latitudes than T. dunbari. Future work is needed to improve the taxonomy of thyasirids and to inform their usefulness as indicators of organic enrichment.
Heterogeneous noise enhances spatial reciprocity

description: Recent research has identified the heterogeneity as crucial for the evolution of cooperation in spatial population. However, the influence of heterogeneous noise is still lack. Inspired by this interesting question, in this work, we try to incorporate heterogeneous noise into the evaluation of utility, where only a proportion of population possesses noise, whose range can also be tuned. We find that increasing heterogeneous noise monotonously promotes cooperation and even translates the full defection phase (of the homogeneous version) into the complete cooperation phase. Moreover, the promotion effect of this mechanism can be attributed to the leading role of cooperators who have the heterogeneous noise. These type of cooperators can attract more agents penetrating into the robust cooperator clusters, which is beyond the text of traditional spatial reciprocity. We hope that our work may shed light on the understanding of the cooperative behavior in the society.

description: We explain how the work of Johnson-Leung and Roberts on lifting Hilbert modular forms for real quadratic fields to Siegel modular forms can be adapted to imaginary quadratic fields. For this we use archimedean results from Harris, Soudry, Taylor and replace the global arguments of Roberts by the non-vanishing result of Takeda. As an application of our lifting result, we exhibit an abelian surface $B$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, which is not restriction of scalars of an elliptic curve and satisfies the Brumer-Kramer Paramodularity Conjecture.

description: In this workshop, co-organized with the Schildklier Organizatie Nederland (SON), the participants will explore what does it mean for different people to live with thyroid diseases and in which way it affects their quality of life. How did the diagnosis impact on their lives? How did their life values change over time? How did they adapt their life with chronical illnesses to it? How do technologies support them in coping with residual symptoms, reaching to professionals and find community support? How can technologies be improved to better respond to the needs and wishes of people with thyroid diseases?
As much as the adoption of a specific technology can change our behaviour, adopting a technology that supports life with a disability is not always a choice (Forlano, 2023). With co-design practices and a citizen science approach, people with disabilities become co-creators through focus-groups, bringing their own life experience via interviews and other qualitative research methods (Smeenk et al., 2018), co-designing with professionals (Babbage et al., 2022; Donetto et al., 2015; Kulnik et al., 2019; Nasr et al., 2016; Ramos et al., 2020) and evaluating designs in Living Labs settings before they get on the market (Toso et al., 2023). Recently, persons with disabilities are getting more and more involved in the development of assistive technologies though co-creation practices, as they are considered experts of what life with a disability implies. There is still work to do to make sure that the technical solutions take into account the medical needs as much as the personal wishes in a non-stigmatizing way (IJsselsteijn et al., 2020).
A Passion for Yes: Coming Out and Affirmation
Creators: name: Van Gerven Oei, Vincent W.J.
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: I would like to offer you today the beginnings of a meditation on the word yes, on the gesture of affirmation. We should take great care not to conflate affirmation and saying yes – saying it once, twice, or many times over – and in which language? – all too easily. As I will try to elucidate, there is an abyss between saying yes and affirming that is not easily crossed, let alone bridged.One of my entry points will be Jacques Derrida’s essay on this word – but is it really a word? – in James Joyce’s Ulysses,1 which opens with the question of the translatability of the French oui, but which concerns as well – though through different inflections – the  English  yes,  Dutch  ja,  or  Albanian  po.  One  could  even  say  that  Derrida  grafts  the  question of translatability as such onto this word, which in French first answers to the ouïe,  “I  hear,”  as  a  response  to  a  call,  as  the  word  in  which  communicability  as  such  is  at  stake.  He  reminds  us  that  yes  also  names  language  itself,  not  only  in  the  sense  of langue  d’oïl  or  langue  d’oc,2  the  two  main  French  dialect  groups  which  derive  their  names from their respective ancient words for yes, but also because “the affirmation of a language through itself is untranslatable.”3 And indeed names themselves are notori-ously untranslatable, because they – especially the proper ones – hook into reality in a  way  that  always  suggests  a  more  intimate  relation  between  language  and  the  world  than linguists would want us to believe. I would invite anyone who doubts this to drive through the Kosovar countryside and observe the place name signs. The linguistically unstable status of yes – as adverb, interjection, or some other outsider category – only adds to its supposedly untranslatable status. And yet, it is the first word of any foreign language we venture to learn.

description: Massive MIMO is a promising technology in future wireless communication networks. However, it raises a lot of implementation challenges, for example, the huge pilot symbols and feedback overhead, requirement of real-time global CSI, large number of RF chains needed and high computational complexity. We consider a two-tier precoding strategy for multi-cell massive MIMO interference networks, with an outer precoder for inter-cell/inter-cluster interference cancellation, and an inner precoder for intra-cell multiplexing. In particular, to combat with the computational complexity issue of the outer precoding, we propose a low complexity online iterative algorithm to track the outer precoder under time-varying channels. We follow an optimization technique and formulate the problem on the Grassmann manifold. We develop a low complexity iterative algorithm, which converges to the global optimal solution under static channels. In time-varying channels, we propose a compensation technique to offset the variation of the time-varying optimal solution. We show with our theoretical result that, under some mild conditions, perfect tracking of the target outer precoder using the proposed algorithm is possible. Numerical results demonstrate that the two-tier precoding with the proposed iterative compensation algorithm can achieve a good performance with a significant complexity reduction compared with the conventional two-tier precoding techniques in the literature.

description: This showcase demonstrates an online platform designed for citizen science. The platform was developed as a bachelor project at the University of Twente in collaboration with citizen science researchers. It enables citizen science researchers to independently set up and manage studies, mainly focusing on recurring questionnaires. It includes features like a dynamic informed consent wizard as well as a communication module that allows researchers to communicate with citizens. In all areas of the platform, privacy, security and anonymity of participants is guaranteed. Throughout the user interface, a large emphasis is put on delivering a user experience that is as accessible as possible. For the audience, the main benefit of attending the showcase is gaining insight into how a well-designed digital platform could contribute to the field. The showcase consists of a presentation by two presenters, who will only require a projector or large screen.

title: Mineral chemistry and nd isotope geochemistry of apatite in orogenic AU-associated gabbros, Baie Verte, Newfoundland
Creators: name: Gümüş, Fatma
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2024

description: Orogenic Au deposits on the Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland Appalachians, are structurally controlled and primarily hosted by Lower Ordovician volcanic cover sequences (Snooks Arm Group) and ophiolitic rocks. Gabbro-hosted orogenic Au can be found in three locations: the Stog’er Tight (642,000 t @ 3.02 g/t Au indicated, and 53,000 t @ 5.63 g/t Au inferred resources), the Argyle (436,800 t @ 2.53 g/t Au indicated and 500 t @ 2.77 g/t Au inferred resources) deposits, and the Animal Pond prospect. All these deposits are located in the hanging wall of the Scrape thrust fault typically within 100s of meters of the surface trace of the fault. Gold mineralization in all three areas is associated with coarse-grained, pegmatoidal gabbros that are variably deformed and were metasomatically altered by orogenic Au-related hydrothermal fluids. Gold is also associated with hydrothermally modified apatite, hydrothermal zircon, monazite ((Ce,La)PO4) and xenotime (YPO4). Phosphate minerals are widely distributed throughout the Au-related hydrothermal alteration zones. The deposition of gold occurred concurrent with the dissolution and reprecipitation in apatite, which caused the leaching of REE from apatite and the precipitation of coeval hydrothermal monazite and xenotime. All apatite in fresh and altered rocks are subhedral to euhedral and have homogeneous backscattered electron images. In contrast, cathodoluminescence (CL) images for apatite in unaltered rocks displays yellow to yellow-green luminescence, whereas apatite in altered rocks displays a dark green to gray luminescence. Electron microprobe and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry data for apatite in altered rocks show they are depleted in Mn, Cl, LREE (low La/YbN, La/SmN), Th, and U, and enriched in Sr and and have higher Sr/Y compared to apatite in the fresh rocks. This is compatible with the altered apatites having experienced fluid aided REE-Mn-Cl-Th-U remobilization and subsequent growth of hydrothermal monazite and lesser xenotime inclusions. Despite variable elemental concentrations, the Nd isotope signatures of fresh and altered apatite are similar in all apatite grains with εNd(t)= +2.34-6.60 vs. =+2.80-6.96, respectively. This study highlights that the combination of textural studies, CL imaging, and chemical composition of apatite can be used to determine igneous vs apatite influenced by Au-related hydrothermal alteration and that apatite can be modified by hydrothermal fluids during fluid-rock interaction.

description: Një nga vezullimat më të herëta të impaktit të mundshëm të një lufte të hapur kiberne-tike u shfaq në qershor të 1997-s. Mendohet se atë muaj një skuadër e vogël hakerash, duke  përdorur  mjete  dhe  programe  në  dispozicion  të  të  gjithëve,  arriti  të  depërtonte  në rrjetin elektrik të nëntë qyteteve amerikane, sistemet e tyre të emergjencës dhe një numër rrjetesh mjaft të rëndësishme të Pentagonit duke përfshirë këtu edhe ato rrjete që  menaxhonin  zinxhirët  e  furnizimit  të  ushtrisë  dhe  strukturës  komandë-dhe-kon-troll. Sipas Xhejms Adamsit që ka shkruar gjatë mbi këto sulme:Hakera arritën gjithashtu të infektonin sistemin njerëzor komandë-dhe-kontroll me një nivel paralizues mosbesimi. Urdhërat që duket se vinin nga gjeneralët në komandë ishin të rremë, po ashtu siç ishin të rreme edhe lajmet mbi krizën dhe instruksionet nga autoritetet e komandës civile. Për pasojë, askush në zinxhirin e komandës, nga presidenti e poshtë, nuk mund të besonte asgjë. Ky grup hakerash që po përdornin resurse që ishin në dispozicion të të gjithëve qe i aftë ta pengonte shba-në të bënte luftë në mënyrë efektive.

description: “Tendenca” më e mire është e gabuar nëse ajo nuk paracakton mënyrën se si duhet ndjekur. Këto fjalë të shkruara thuajse tetëdhjetë vite më parë ende rikumbojnë me risinë e qën-drimit “pedagogjik” që vetë Benjamin ishte përpjekur të merrte ndërsa shkruante për intelektualin revolucionar. Pavarësisht se sa të përfunduara mund të duken objektet e prodhimit, ajo që dukej më urgjente, thotë Benjamin, ka qenë zbulimi i potencialitete-ve të vetë teknikave të prodhimit për të zbuluar kompleksin organizativ të mashtrimit brenda  tyre.  Po  të  pranonim  se  dimensioni  institucional  i  ndërtimit  të  subjektivite-teve  nuk  është  veçse  ekzistenca  e  vazhduar  e  aparatit  borgjez,  do  të  qe  e  mundur  që  dallimi funksional midis prodhimeve dhe prodhuesve të zhdukej një herë e mirë. Një aspekt i rëndësishëm në projektin e tij mbi zhdukjen e autorit përmes shpërhapjes së kujdesshme, Benjamin lëvdoi rifunktionimin [Umfunktionierung] të Brehtit [Brecht] si një  ide  për  transformimin  aktiv  të  institucioneve  dhe  mjeteve  të  prodhimit  prej  inte-lektualëve  radikalë:  “Nuk  është  puna  t’i  kundërvihemi  institucionit:  Ne  jemi  institu-cioni.”
Odd-frequency pairing effect on the superfluid density and the Pauli spin susceptibility in spatially nonuniform spin-singlet superconductors
Creators: name: Higashitani, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A theoretical study is presented on the odd-frequency spin-singlet pairing that arises in nonuniform even-frequency superconductors as a consequence of broken translation symmetry. The effect of the odd-frequency pairing on the superfluid density and the spin susceptibility is analyzed by using the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity. It is shown that (1) the superfluid density is reduced by the formation of the odd-frequency singlet pairs and (2) the odd-frequency pairing increases the spin susceptibility even though its spin symmetry is singlet. The two unusual phenomena are related to each other through a generalized Yosida formula by taking into account both the even- and odd-frequency pairing effects.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αφορά στην αξιολόγηση της παιδαγωγικής αξιοποίησης της “ψηφιακής αφήγησης” και των “προσωπικών ημερολογίων” ως συνδεόμενων εργαλείων για την υποστήριξη του αναστοχασμού φοιτητών πάνω στην εμπειρία τους από τη χρήση ενός ψηφιακού Παρατηρητηρίου Πολιτών, του Pl@ntnet. Η σχετική εκπαιδευτική δράση σχεδιάστηκε και υλοποιήθηκε από την επιβλέπουσα της διπλωματικής εργασίας και διδάσκουσα του μαθήματος «Εκπαίδευση και Μάθηση για το Περιβάλλον και την Αειφορία στην Ψηφιακή Εποχή» στο ΔΠΜΣ «Ψηφιακός Μετασχηματισμός και Εκπαιδευτική Πράξη», η οποία παραχώρησε για ερευνητική χρήση το εν λόγω υλικό για μια μικρής κλίμακας έρευνα αξιολόγηση. Σκοπός της ποιοτικής έρευνας που πραγματοποιήθηκε ήταν η διερεύνηση της μάθησης και της συναισθηματικής ανταπόκρισης δύο φοιτητών που πήραν μέρος στο μάθημα και στη συγκεκριμένη εκπαιδευτική δράση κατά το χειμερινό ακαδημαϊκό εξάμηνο 2020-2021. Η ανάλυση των ημερολογίων και των ψηφιακών αφηγήσεων βασίστηκε στην ανάλυση περιεχομένου και στη δημιουργία επαγωγικών κωδίκων. Από την ανάλυση αναδείχθηκαν τα εξής σχετικά με την εμπειρία των φοιτητών: θετική επίδραση στην παρατηρητικότητα και βελτίωση του γνωστικού επιπέδου, κοινωνική αλληλεπίδραση, νέα προσέγγιση της εκπαίδευσης, ενθουσιασμός και ενθάρρυνση της συμμετοχής, προσωπική ικανοποίηση και ενίσχυση της αυτοεκτίμησης, αναγνώριση ότι η περιβαλλοντική δραστηριότητα προκάλεσε συναισθηματική σύνδεση, θετική στάση ότι οι αρνητικές συναισθηματικές αντιδράσεις μπορούν να αντιμετωπιστούν, πρόθεση για εξατομίκευση της ψηφιακής αφήγησης, αναγνώριση της σημασίας της κοινότητας και της αλληλεπίδρασης με βάση τη δύναμη της αφήγησης και της ιστορίας, και της συμβολής της τεχνολογίας στην προσωπική σύνδεση με τη φύση.

description: The equation of state (EOS), $w(z)$, is the most important parameter of dark energy. We reconstruct the evolution of this EOS in a model-independent way using the latest cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from Planck and other observations, such as type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), the baryonic acoustic oscillation measurements (SDSS, 6dF, BOSS, and WiggleZ), and the Hubble parameter value $H(z)$. The results show that the EOS is consistent with the cosmological constant at the $2σ$ confidence level, not preferring a dynamical dark energy. The uncorrelated EOS of dark energy constraints from Planck CMB data are much tighter than those from the WMAP 9-year CMB data.
