description: Objectives: Executive functioning and emotion recognition may be impaired in disruptive youth, yet findings in oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) are inconsistent. We examined these functions related to ODD and CD, accounting for comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and internalizing symptoms. Methods: We compared executive functioning (visual working memory, visual attention, inhibitory control) and emotion recognition between youth (8-18 years old, 123 boys, 55 girls) with ODD (n = 44) or CD (with/without ODD, n = 48), and healthy controls (n = 86). We also related ODD, CD, and ADHD symptom counts and internalizing symptomatology to all outcome measures, as well as executive functioning to emotion recognition. Results: Visual working memory and inhibitory control were impaired in the ODD and CD groups versus healthy controls. Anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness recognition were impaired in the CD group; only anger recognition was impaired in the ODD group. Deficits were not explained by comorbid ADHD or internalizing symptoms. Visual working memory was associated with recognition of all basic emotions. Conclusions: Our findings challenge the view that neuropsychological impairments in youth with ODD/CD are driven by comorbid ADHD and suggest possible distinct neurocognitive mechanisms in CD versus ODD.

description: We consider the persistent currents induced by an artificial gauge field applied to interacting ultra-cold bosonic atoms in a tight ring trap. Using both analytical and numerical methods, we study the scaling of the persistent current amplitude with the size of the ring. In the strongly interacting regime we find a power-law scaling, in good agreement with the predictions of the Luttinger-liquid theory. By exploring all interaction regimes we find that the scaling is optimal, i.e. the current amplitude decreases slower with the system size, at intermediate interactions.

Citizenship Education in England: The Making of a New Subject
Creators: name: Kerr, David
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2003

description: Citizenship has been included for the first time ever as an explicit part of the school curriculum in England from September 2002. This paper explores how this historic shift has come about through the work of the Advisory Group on Education for Citizenship and the Teaching of Democracy in Schools (commonly known as the Crick Group). The first section sets out the background to why the Crick Group was established and shows how the main lessons from past policy approaches were absorbed by the Group. The second section explains how citizenship education is defined in the school curriculum in England. The third section details some of the current activities designed to encourage the development of effective practice in citizenship. In the final section a number of challenges facing citizenship education are identified. How these challenges are tackled will have a major impact as to the effectiveness of citizenship education practice in schools and elsewhere in England.

description: Correlation functions involving products and ratios of half-integer powers of characteristic polynomials of random matrices from the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) frequently arise in applications of Random Matrix Theory (RMT) to physics of quantum chaotic systems, and beyond. We provide an explicit evaluation of the large-$N$ limits of a few non-trivial objects of that sort within a variant of the supersymmetry formalism, and via a related but different method. As one of the applications we derive the distribution of an off-diagonal entry $K_{ab}$ of the resolvent (or Wigner $K$-matrix) of GOE matrices which, among other things, is of relevance for experiments on chaotic wave scattering in electromagnetic resonators.

Creators: name: Kronsteiner, Dominik
Year: 2022

description: Feldpostbriefe geben Zeugnis der Meinungs-, Gedankens- und Vorstellungswelten der Verfasser*innen im Hintergrund eines Kriegsgeschehens wieder. Die Proponenten schildern darin ihre Eindrücke von Krieg, Leid, Sehnsucht, Heimat und Familie. Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit Feldpost- sowie Antwortbriefen des Ehepaares Gamper. Im Vordergrund steht die Analyse, welchen Stellenwert Feldpost für das Ehepaar eigentlich hat und wie die Kommunikation zwischen Heimat und Front gemeistert wird. Wesentlicher Schwertpunkt ist die Darstellung der Persönlichkeit von Karl und Rosa Gamper in den Briefen und ob deren Meinungen, Aussagen und Gefühlen mit den nationalsozialistischen Geschlechternormen konform gehen. Im Genaueren soll die Sicht auf die propagierten Geschlechterkonzepte Kameradschaft/Soldatentum und Mutterschaft/Hauswirtschaft gelegt werden. Fokus liegt darauf wie Meinungen und Emotionen in den Briefen ausgedrückt werden und ob Anlehnungen an den Nationalsozialismus erkennbar sind. Diese Kommunikation umfasst zwei Eheleute, deren Erziehung sowie Ausbildung fernab bildungsbürgerlichen Ursprungs liegen und für den Ausdruck in schriftlicher Form nicht ausgebildet waren. Der Schriftwechsel beläuft sich auf 103 Feldpost- sowie 31 Antwortbriefen, die zwischen 1940 und 1941 verfasst worden sind. In diesen Schriftzeugnissen schildern die Verfasser*innen die militärische Ausbildung, ihren Umgang mit Krieg, Front, Kameradschaft, Vaterrolle, Leben zuhause, Mutterrolle, eheliches Zusammenleben, Familien, Finanzielles sowie religiöse Erlebnisse, Meinungen und Kommentare. Der Briefwechsel ist stark auf Ausdruck des Wiedersehens, von Sorgen und Hoffnung geprägt. Dieser Schriftwechsel veranschaulicht eine persönliche, unterschiedliche Sichtweise einer ehelichen Gemeinschaft im Kontext eines globalumspannenden Konfliktes.

description: We combine JWST observations with ALMA CO and VLT-MUSE H$α$ data to examine off-spiral arm star formation in the face-on, grand-design spiral galaxy NGC 628. We focus on the northern spiral arm, around a galactocentric radius of 3-4 kpc, and study two spurs. These form an interesting contrast, as one is CO-rich and one CO-poor, and they have a maximum azimuthal offset in MIRI 21$μ$m and MUSE H$α$ of around 40$^\circ$ (CO-rich) and 55$^\circ$ (CO-poor) from the spiral arm. The star formation rate is higher in the regions of the spurs near to spiral arms, but the star formation efficiency appears relatively constant. Given the spiral pattern speed and rotation curve of this galaxy and assuming material exiting the arms undergoes purely circular motion, these offsets would be reached in 100-150 Myr, significantly longer than the 21$μ$m and H$α$ star formation timescales (both <10 Myr). The invariance of the star formation efficiency in the spurs versus the spiral arms indicates massive star formation is not only triggered in spiral arms, and cannot simply occur in the arms and then drift away from the wave pattern. These early JWST results show that in-situ star formation likely occurs in the spurs, and that the observed young stars are not simply the `leftovers' of stellar birth in the spiral arms. The excellent physical resolution and sensitivity that JWST can attain in nearby galaxies will well resolve individual star-forming regions and help us to better understand the earliest phases of star formation.

description: This paper explores how democratic values are stimulated by predictors related to family and school. We began by posing a simple question: How can we best explain students' democratic values in relation to their home backgrounds, school-class climate, political environment, political interest and participation of students in social activities? To answer this, we chose to elaborate on a model comparing various background factors. Both models (cf. figures 2 and 3) seem to indicate that school climate has a huge effect on political environment and political interest. Here, political environment has a stronger effect on social participation than political interest. Although Germany and Cyprus have many differences, the actual models for both countries are almost identical.

Impact of Democratic Competencies and Political Knowledge on Desirable Outcomes of Civic Education. Results from the German Contribution to the IEA Civic Education Study

Year: 2003

description: International comparative studies on civic education are especially difficult because of the lack of a common understanding of what civic education is as a subject and because of different cultural and political traditions or different school systems. Using the concept of democratic competencies, this paper starts by exploring a theory of authoritarian personalities and operationalising 11 items for an empirical study. Thereby this paper investigates to what extent central topics of civic education are more determined by cognitive factors or personality factors. It shows that matureness is developed not only by political knowledge but also by those democratic competencies which are an essential part of any democratic school and teaching culture.

title: Zwischen Würde und Verzweckung

description: Die Debatte, ob menschliche Embryonen Lebewesen mit Würde sind, beschäftigt Ethiker seit mehreren Jahrzehnten. Wie unterschiedlich die Sichtweisen dabei sind, manifestiert sich in differierenden gesetzlichen Regelungen verschiedener Länder. Durch die In-vitro-Fertilisation, die seit den 1970er Jahren unfruchtbaren Paaren die Chance auf ein eigenes Kind bietet, können überzählige Embryonen entstehen, die für die Herbeiführung der Schwangerschaft nicht benötigt werden. Diese können aufgrund begrenzter Ressourcen aber nur temporär gelagert werden, was das Problem aufwirft, wie mit solchen verwaisten Embryonen verfahren werden soll. Die Frage nach der Würde des Embryos ist damit untrennbar verbunden. Von den extrakorporalen Embryonen, in vitro, sind die Embryonen im natürlichen Umfeld, in vivo, zu unterscheiden. Um herauszufinden, welche Verwendung von überzähligen menschlichen Embryonen ethisch gerechtfertigt erscheint, wird danach gefragt, wie die Würde des Menschen begründet werden kann und ob demnach Embryonen in vivo und in vitro ebenfalls Würde besitzen. Die vorliegende Arbeit kommt zum Ergebnis, dass Embryonen mit aktiver Potentialität zum Personsein Würde besitzen. Demnach kann nur in vivo nicht aber in vitro vorliegenden Embryonen Würde zugesprochen werden. Die Schutzwürdigkeit extrakorporaler Embryonen kann jedoch durch deren Beziehung zu den biologischen Eltern begründet werden. Diese sollten das Recht besitzen, jegliche Schädigung ihrer Nachkommen zu verbieten. Als Konsequenz sollte für überzählige Embryonen, die sich durch den Transfer in einen mütterlichen Organismus zur Person entwickeln können, eine Adoptionsmöglichkeit bestehen. Embryonen ohne eine solche Potentialität sind, unter Zustimmung der biologischen Eltern und strengen Regelungen, zur Realisierung hochrangiger Forschungsziele heranzuziehen und nur in Ausnahmefällen ohne weitere Verwendung zu vernichten.

description: The Coleman-Weinberg mechanism provides a procedure by which a scalar field, which initially has no mass parameters, acquires a mass due to the anomalous nature of scale symmetry. Loop corrections trigger a spontaneous symmetry breaking and the appearance of a non-trivial vacuum. We first review the basic example of the ColemanWeinberg mechanism, scalar Quantum Electrodynamics, in a perturbative regime where the scalar particle becomes massive through photon loops. We then present the main results of this article, what we name the gravitational Coleman-Weinberg mechanism: we analyse the same effect in a gravitational theory without explicit energy scales at tree-level. Finally, we also study the mechanism for two scalar fields in the mentioned gravitational theory. We will derive the gravitational Coleman-Weinberg potentials, analyse the parameter space where we have a symmetry breaking, and obtain the value of the corresponding scalar masses.

description: A study of the Mode-locking lasing pulse formation in closed cavities is presented within a statistical mechanical framework where the onset of laser coincides with a thermodynamic phase transition driven by the optical power pumped into the system. Electromagnetic modes are represented by classical degrees of freedom of a Hamiltonian model at equilibrium in an effective ensemble corresponding to the stationary laser regime. By means of optimized Monte Carlo numerical simulations, the system properties are analyzed varying mode interaction dilution, gain profile and number of modes. Novel properties of the resulting mode-locking laser phase are presented, not observable by previous mean-field approaches. For strong dilution of the nonlinear interaction network, power condensation occurs as the whole optical intensity is taken by a few electromagnetic modes, whose number does not depend on the size of the system. For all reported cases laser thresholds, intensity spectra, and ultra-fast electromagnetic pulses are computed.

description: The physical properties of metamagnetic Fe$_3$Ga$_4$ single crystals are investigated to explore the sensitivity of the magnetic states to temperature, magnetic field, and sample history. The data reveal a moderate anisotropy in the magnetization and the metamagnetic critical field along with features in the specific heat at the magnetic transitions $T_1=68$ K and $T_2=360$ K. Both $T_1$ and $T_2$ are found to be sensitive to the annealing conditions of the crystals suggesting that disorder affects the competition between the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) states. Resistivity measurements reveal metallic transport with a sharp anomaly associated with the transition at $T_2$. The Hall effect is dominated by the anomalous contribution which rivals that of magnetic semiconductors in magnitude ($-5 μΩ$ cm at 2 T and 350 K) and undergoes a change of sign upon cooling into the low temperature FM state. The temperature and field dependence of the Hall effect indicate that the magnetism is likely to be highly itinerant in character and that a significant change in the electronic structure accompanies the magnetic transitions. We observe a contribution from the topological Hall effect in the AFM phase suggesting a non-coplanar contribution to the magnetism. Electronic structure calculations predict an AFM ground state with a wavevector parallel to the crystallographic $c$-axis preferred over the experimentally measured FM state by $\approx$ 50 meV per unit cell. However, supercell calculations with a small density of Fe-antisite defects introduced tend to stabilize the FM over the AFM state indicating that antisite defects may be the cause of the sensitivity to sample synthesis conditions.

description: The possibility of reconstruction of Lagrangian for the scalar field dark energy with constant effective sound speed $c_s$ is analyzed. It is found that such reconstruction can be made with accuracy up to an arbitrary constant. The value of $c_s$ is estimated together with other dark energy parameters ($Ω_{de}$, $w_0$, $c_a^2$) and main cosmological ones on the basis of data including Planck-2013 results on CMB anisotropy, BAO distance ratios from recent galaxy surveys, galaxy power spectrum from WiggleZ, magnitude-redshift relations for distant SNe Ia from SNLS3 and Union2.1 compilations, the HST determination of the Hubble constant. It is shown that no value of $c_s$ from the range [0,1] is preferred by the used data because of very weak influence of dark energy perturbations on the large scale structure formation and CMB temperature fluctuations.

Teachers’ Stories of Engaging Students in Controversial Action Projects on the Island of Ireland

description: Civic, Social and Political Education (CSPE) in the Republic of Ireland and Local and Global Citizenship (LGC) in Northern Ireland keenly promote students’ active participation in society. However, the purpose of this participation is not necessarily to encourage students to campaign for change in the present but rather that ‘students are given opportunities to engage in actions and develop skills that will contribute to their becoming active participatory citizens in later life’ (NCCA (2005) CSPE Guidelines for Teachers, p. 59). This often gives rise to a culture of passive citizenship and a tendency to focus on ‘action projects’ that are safe and self-contained. This paper focuses on a five action projects carried out by a sample of teachers and students that may be considered ‘controversial’. In each case students actively campaign for equality and social justice, on local or global human rights issues and in ways that may be deemed controversial. It examines how the mainstream curriculum and school structures facilitate or impede this type of controversial action and explores the potential opportunities for greater engagement in such action through proposed curriculum reform.

description: Unter den vielen geheimnisvollen Anspielungen im Korpus der Kālacakra-Texte ist der Vergleich der Visionen des "mit der Wirklichkeit Vereinten" (tattvayogī) mit der Natur eines prognostischen Bildes (pratisenā) eine der faszinierendsten. Allerdings wurde ihm bisher nur begrenzte Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, wobei ein einziger Artikel ausschließlich diesem Thema gewidmet ist (Orofino 1994) und mehrere andere prominente Forscher es entweder nur erwähnen (z. B. Newman 1987) oder in anderen Zusammenhängen untersuchen (z. B. Vasudeva 2014, McGrath 1993, Strickmann 2002). Das Ritual der pratisenā (oder, allgemeiner, prasenā) wurde nicht vom Autor des Kālacakratantra erfunden, sondern hat viel ältere, tiefere und komplexere Wurzeln, vielleicht sogar teilweise in der griechisch-römischen Welt. Einige Abwandlungen der Praxis sind in Śaiva-, buddhistischen und sogar jainistischen Quellen bezeugt. Diese Arbeit versucht, auf der bisherigen Forschung zu diesem Thema aufzubauen, weitere Texte zu finden und zu untersuchen, die sich auf prasenā beziehen, und eine vorläufige Antwort auf die Frage zu finden, warum prasenā eine so große Bedeutung hatte und wie es dazu kam.
description: Among the many arcane allusions in the Kālacakra corpus of texts, the comparison of the visions of “one united with Reality” (tattvayogī) to the nature of a prognostic image (pratisenā) is one of the most intriguing. However, limited attention has been devoted to it with a single article being exclusively devoted to it (Orofino 1994) and several other prominent researchers either simply mentioning it (i.e. Newman 1987) or exploring it in other contexts (i.e. Vasudeva 2014, McGrath 1993, Strickmann 2002). The ritual of pratisenā (or, more commonly, prasenā) was not invented by the author of the Kālacakratantra, but has much older, deeper and more complex roots, perhaps partly even in the Greco-Roman world. Some permutation on the practice is attested in Śaiva, Buddhist and even Jain sources. This thesis strives to build upon the previous scholarship on the topic, locate and examine further texts related to prasenā and seek a preliminary answer to the question why prasenā was of such prominence and how it came to be so.
Globalization as Continuing Colonialism – Critical Global Citizenship Education in an Unequal World
Creators: name: Mikander, Pia
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: In an unequal world, education about global inequality can be seen as a controversial but necessary topic for social science to deal with. Even though the world no longer consists of colonies and colonial powers, many aspects of the global economy follow the same patterns as during colonial times, with widening gaps between the world’s richest and the world’s poorest. An analysis of Finnish textbook texts includes practical examples of how globalization is portrayed within basic education. It reveals that the textbooks vary in their interpretations of the relationship between colonialism and globalization. The people of the North are rarely portrayed as responsible for the poverty in the South. Globalization is not described as a politically implicated phenomenon. The article also presents the critical global citizenship education initiative as an approach to the topic. It suggests that students can learn to challenge common assumptions that conceal the historical and structural roots of power relations. Teaching about privilege can be seen as another supplementary method to help students understand their position in the world.

description: Fluctuations in the initial transverse energy-density distribution lead to anisotropic flows as observed in central high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Studies of longitudinal fluctuations of the anisotropic flows can shed further light on the initial conditions and dynamical evolution of the hot quark-gluon matter in these collisions. Correlations between anisotropic flows with varying pseudorapidity gaps in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are investigated using both an event-by-event (3+1)-D ideal hydrodynamical model with fluctuating initial conditions and the a multiphase transport (AMPT) Monte Carlo model for high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Anisotropic flows at different pseudorapidities are found to become significantly decorrelated with increasing pseudo-rapidity gaps due to longitudinal fluctuations in the initial states of heavy-ion collisions. The longitudinal correlation of the elliptic flow shows a strong centrality dependence while the correlation of the triangular flow is independent of the centrality. Longitudinal fluctuations as a source of the decorrelation are further shown to consist of a twist or gradual rotation in flow angles between the forward and backward direction and additional fluctuations on top of the twist. Within the AMPT model, longitudinal correlations of anisotropic flows are also found to depend on the value of partonic cross sections. The implicatiosn of constraining the initial conditions and shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of the partonic matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are also discussed.

Year: 2016

description: Purpose: This article highlights serious educational gaps related with the respect for animals. We propose to include a new independent subject, named Education in Respect for Animals (ERA), within the curriculum of the Social Education Degree at the university level. Method: This study is based on previous educative experiences and a review of various innovative initiatives. This article is a part of critical pedagogy, aiming to contribute to the social education curriculum. It incorporates the need for a post-humanist education in the way that Haraway named ‘posthumanist landscapes’, i.e., an inclusive education for this more-than-human world (Taylor, 2013). Findings: The first part of this article reviews the theories of authors who have contributed to this area. Nonetheless the direction of this article is not to be framed in moral philosophy but a curriculum theory. Next we will contextualize and analyse the case of ERA in the Spanish educational system, concluding with proposals applied to social nets, university communities and open to educators and especially feedback from social education. .

description: The soft function in non-abelian gauge theories exponentiate, and their logarithms can be organised in terms of the collections of Feynman diagrams called Cwebs. The colour factors that appear in the logarithm are controlled by the web mixing matrices. Direct construction of the diagonal blocks of Cwebs using the new concepts of Normal ordering, basis Cweb and Fused-Web was recently carried out in~\cite{Agarwal:2022wyk}. In this article we establish correspondence between the boomerang webs introduced in ~\cite{Gardi:2021gzz} and non-boomerang Cwebs. We use this correspondence together with Uniqueness theorem and Fused web formalism introduced in ~\cite{Agarwal:2022wyk} to obtain the diagonal blocks of four general classes of Cwebs to all orders in perturbation theory which also cover all the four loop Boomerang Cwebs connecting four Wilson lines. We also fully construct the mixing matrix of a special Cweb to all orders in perturbation theory.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Überblick über die Qualität und Qualitätsanforderungen von Primärpackmitteln für Flüssigarzneimittel mit Schwerpunkt auf Packmittel aus Glas. In den vergangenen Jahren konnten immer häufiger Splitterbildungen beim Öffnen der Ampullen notiert werden, die Verletzungspotential sowohl für Patienten als auch für medizinisches Personal bieten. Zu Beginn der Arbeit wurde eine Literaturrecherche über Anforderungen an Glas, Informationen zu Glasampullen und alternativen Packmittel im Bereich der Parenteralia durchgeführt und eine Übersicht über die geltenden Vorschriften erstellt. Anschließend wurde im Rahmen einer Marktüberwachungsstudie die aktuelle Situation hinsichtlich des Brechverhaltens von Glasampullen erfasst. Hierfür wurde eine Reihe von Glasampullen geöffnet und auf unterschiedliche Parameter analysiert. Die Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der genannten Probleme waren nicht überraschend und die bereits erwarteten Mängel konnten bestätigt werden. In den nächsten Jahren sollte eine Verbesserung der aktuellen Situation angestrebt werden. Die Inhalte dieser Arbeit sind besonders für Produzenten der Ampullen, pharmazeutische Betriebe, Zulassungsbehörden, Patienten und medizinische Einrichtungen von Bedeutung.

description: Mentoring relationships between a senior, experienced faculty member and a junior employee, between a faculty member and an undergraduate or graduate student, or between a senior and a junior student is essential in higher education. The current review aims to emphasize the necessity of establishing organized mentorship programs at national institutions to enhance academic performance, teaching/learning effectiveness, knowledge and skill development, growth and development, research productivity, and community engagement. The mentor and mentee both benefit from the mentoring relationship. Academic advising, preceptor supervision, and supervision of graduation projects are different from the mentoring relationship as they focus on only one aspect of the relationship, whether it is the study plan, the study session, or the project, respectively.  Mentoring is a mutually beneficial relationship that calls for integrity, decency, self-assurance, trust, and respect. Educational institutes and colleges should set up a committee to establish a well-organized mentoring program with all the necessary templates for recruiting mentors and mentees, and also for annual evaluation and feedback from all parties involved.

Asymptotic behavior of end invariants in a convergent sequence predicts the parabolic locus of the algebraic limit as well as how the algebraic limit wraps within the geometric limit under the natural locally isometric covering map.

Creators: name: Kajdy, Ornella
Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht vorwiegend die Frage nach der Ursache der Bildung von Stereotypen und Genderstereotypen durch Henning Mankells Wallander-Romane und basiert auf einer notwendigen Einführung zur Forschung der Interkulturalität, insbesondere der Entstehung von Kollektiven, und schließlich auf der Forschung zu (Gender)stereotypen. Den Ausgangspunkt der Analyse bildet die auf das vor allem im deutschsprachigen Raum vorherrschende Bild eines schwedischen Kriminalkommissars basierende Fragestellung, inwiefern damit gebrochen werden sollte und inwiefern Genderstereotypisierungen in den vorliegenden Romanen verhandelt werden. Für diese Fragestellung liegen der Analyse vier ausgewählte Romane (1994-1997) sowie die Auseinandersetzung mit vier Charakteren, Kurt Wallander eingeschlossen, zu Grunde. Die untersuchten Romane weisen eine Vielzahl stereotyper Ansichten und deren damit zugleich verbundener Problemstellungen auf, die vom Autor hervorgehoben und kritisch verhandelt werden.
Art Education with Attitude
Creators: name: Williams, Jere
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: This paper explores the way in which art education advances the goals of citizenship education. In the first section of this paper the similarities between ethical and aesthetic concepts will be outlined and the visual art symbol system will be carefully examined. Findings: It will be argued that the transference of a value-adaptive attitude developed through the study and practice of art to its application in civic literacy and engagement is valuable and warranted. The second section of this paper will investigate the impact that compositional study in both art practice and experience has on the reinforcement of and the alteration of values.

Positure in Plato’s Laws: An Introduction to Figuration on Civic Education
Creators: name: Hall, Joshua M.
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: The aim of the research was to determine the benefits of applying the new Figuration philosophy of dance, based in part on Plato, to civic education. Design/methodology: A close phenomenological reading of Plato’s The Laws, with a strategic focus on its account of the concept of posture. Findings: Plato considers posture to be central to dance education, which in turn is central to civic education, as suggested by concrete analyses of dance based on posture. Research limitations: Further studies on this subject are required in order to achieve a more nuanced and balanced account of the concepts of posture articulated by other philosophers and theorists. Practical implications: More resources must be allocated to dance and dance education, in the interest of fostering civic education, and the political virtue that results therefrom.

description: We report direct measurement of population dynamics in the excited state manifold of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. We quantify the phonon-induced mixing rate and demonstrate that it can be completely suppressed at low temperatures. Further, we measure the intersystem crossing (ISC) rate for different excited states and develop a theoretical model that unifies the phonon-induced mixing and ISC mechanisms. We find that our model is in excellent agreement with experiment and that it can be used to predict unknown elements of the NV center's electronic structure. We discuss the model's implications for enhancing the NV center's performance as a room-temperature sensor.

Roton-Maxon Excitation Spectrum of Bose Condensates in a Shaken Optical Lattice

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present experimental evidence showing that an interacting Bose condensate in a shaken optical lattice develops a roton-maxon excitation spectrum, a feature normally associated with superfluid helium. The roton-maxon feature originates from the double-well dispersion in the shaken lattice, and can be controlled by both the atomic interaction and the lattice shaking amplitude. We determine the excitation spectrum using Bragg spectroscopy and measure the critical velocity by dragging a weak speckle potential through the condensate - both techniques are based on a digital micromirror device. Our dispersion measurements are in good agreement with a modified-Bogoliubov model.

“Transformative looks”: Practicing Citizenship Through Photography
Creators: name: Pereira, Sónia
name: Maiztegui-Oñate, Concha
name: Mata-Codesal, Diana
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: The article discusses the meanings of citizenship and citizenship education when formal citizenship is restricted by exploring the potential of photography education and practice as a tool that promotes the exercise of citizenship in the context of non-formal critical adult education. By doing it, this text aims to enhance our understanding on the ways art education can improve the achievement of the goals of citizenship education. Method: This article analyses the experience of the collective and collaborative project: “Con la cámara a cuestas: Transformative Looks”, in Bilbao, Spain, with a group of fifteen to twenty migrant women from eight Latin American countries. Findings: Citizenship as a life-long learning process involving individual as well as collective action leading to the promotion of new shared values for more inclusive communities benefits greatly from the use of artistic expressions such as photography. Because of migrant women’s marginalized position as non-formal-citizens, citizenship as participation effectively becomes a fundamental route of influence in the public sphere. Conceptualizing citizenship as struggle and as a critical learning process opens up possibilities for generating new shared ‘habitus’, where ‘recognition’ can be achieved leading to more inclusive societies.

Drama and Citizenship - Devised Drama for Education
Creators: name: Heikkinen, Hannu
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: In this article I will give an example of a linguistic program I have been doing with sixth form college students from Finland and the Netherland and link this action research to the meaning of drama education, and of the potential of devised drama as a part of civic Education. Method: I will explain the theory of devised drama, then I will highlight the research and finally, I will conclude the research findings. The analytical framework used in this article is well-suited for drama education with youth. I would like to characterize drama education dramaturgy not as Aristotelian nor Brechtian, but as an 'open or joint - making together - dramaturgy'. Findings: The term 'drama' is often used to describe the process of making work that does not necessarily demand an outside audience, and 'theatre' to identify work, that is focused on performing to an outside audience. 'Devised drama' relies both on process and product. Leaning how to make devised drama is an important as learning about its processes and start thinking: 'why we came up with these ideas of us and fictional drama world?'
