Human Rights Education in Israel: Four Types of Good Citizenship
Creators: name: Agbaria, Ayman Kamel
name: Katz-Pade, Revital
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: This article examines the involvement of civil society organizations in human rights education (HRE) in Israel. Focussing on the educational programs of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), as a qualitative instrumental case study, this article examines the conceptions of good citizenship embedded in these programs. Specifically, the article analyzes the educational programs’ goals, content, targeted populations, and practices. The analysis revealed that ACRI’s HRE model reflect four ideal types of citizens: citizen of a democratic liberal state, citizen of a participatory polity, citizen of an ethical profession, and citizen of an empowered community. These constitute a multilayered human rights discourse that enables ACRI to engage differentially with various sectors and populations, while still remaining faithful to the ethno-national parameters of a Jewish and democratic state political framework.

The Educational Governance of German School Social Science: The Example of Globalization
Creators: name: Szukala, Andrea
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: This article challenges the outsiders' views on European school social science adopting genuine cosmopolitan views, when globalisation is treated in social science classrooms. Method: The article is based on the theoretical framework of educational governance analysis and on qualitative corpus analysis of representative German Laenders' social science curricula from 1994-2014 (n=13). Findings: The article highlights tendencies of renationalisation of the global learning agenda and the problematisation of democracy in contexts of globalisation studies at German schools.

Distinguishing graphs with zeta functions and generalized spectra
Creators: name: Durfee, Christina
name: Martin, Kimball
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Conjecturally, almost all graphs are determined by their spectra. This problem has also been studied for variants such as the spectra of the Laplacian and signless Laplacian. Here we consider the problem of determining graphs with Ihara and Bartholdi zeta functions, which are also computable in polynomial time. These zeta functions are geometrically motivated, but can be viewed as certain generalizations of characteristic polynomials. After discussing some graph properties determined by zeta functions, we show that large classes of cospectral graphs can be distinguished with zeta functions and enumerate graphs distinguished by zeta functions on $\le 11$ vertices. This leads us to conjecture that almost all graphs which are not determined by their spectrum are determined by zeta functions. Along the way, we make some observations about the usual types of spectra and disprove a conjecture of Setyadi and Storm about Ihara zeta functions determining degree sequences.

description: In this paper, we propose a new gossip-based signaling dissemination method for the Next Steps in Signaling protocol family. In more detail, we propose to extend the General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol, so as to leverage these new dissemination capabilities from all NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol applications using its transport capabilities. The new GIST extension consists of two main procedures: a bootstrap procedure, during which new GIST-enabled nodes discover each other, and a service dissemination procedure, which is used to effectively disseminate signaling messages within an Autonomous System. To this aim, we defined three dissemination models, bubble, balloon, and hose, so as to fulfill requirements of different network and/or service management scenarios. An experimental campaign carried out on the GENI testbed shows the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

 from seven different partners, operating novel terrestrial or atmospheric observations across
 different methodological and geographical areas in the Arctic. This document is intended to:
 − Demonstrate that all partners delivered their results/products according to the requirements listed in the description of work,
 − Summarize changes in the work plan in the context of COVID-19 related problems, mostly linked to travel restrictions and inaccessibility of field sites. These issues reduced the findings that can be reported here, however, without substantially compromising the overarching objectives,
 − Describe, on a activity-by-activity level, the novel observations implemented by each partner, the datasets obtained, and their suitability for continuous, long-term operations in an improved future Arctic observing system,
 − Document the ‘lessons learned’ while designing, installing and operating the novel observation techniques,
 − Provide a concise interpretation of the specific datasets that were obtained within Task 3.5 observational campaigns,
 − Summarize data availability, including links to publicly accessible repositories where data can be retrieved by the scientific community,
 − Give an outlook on plans and options regarding the future operation of the specific observation systems.
title: Einfluss einer auf die Atmung fokussierten Pre-Performance Routine auf den Entspannungsgrad nach einer somatischen Druckinduktion
Creators: name: Bauer, Alexander
Year: 2022

description: Es existiert eine Vielzahl an Studien, die einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen Pre-Performance Routinen (PPR) und erbrachter Leistung aufzeigen. Jedoch ist bisher die Frage nach zugrundeliegenden Mechanismen oftmals zu kurz geblieben: mögliche leistungssteigernde Einflüsse der Routinen wurden gezeigt, jedoch wurde nicht überprüft, weshalb diese unterstützend wirken können. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit soll genau an dieser Stelle anknüpfen. Im Fokus dieser Arbeit steht dabei der Entspannungsgrad nach einer somatischen Druckinduktion, welcher mithilfe der Herzfrequenz gemessen wird. An der Studie nahmen 36 Personen teil, die über keinerlei spezielle Fähigkeiten verfügen mussten. Die Teilnehmenden wurden zufällig in eine PPR-Gruppe und in eine Aktivierungsgruppe eingeteilt. Während die PPR-Gruppe nach einer somatischen Druckinduktion eine auf die Atmung fokussierte Routine durchführte, erhielten die Personen der Aktivierungsgruppe einfache arithmetische Aufgaben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es keinen statistisch signifikanten Unterschied in Bezug auf den Entspannungsgrad der beiden Gruppen gab. Kritisch zu betrachten sind sowohl die fehlende Individualisierung der Pre-Performance Routine als auch die geringe Zeit zum Eintrainieren dieser.
title: Didaktische Ansätze zur Förderung von Mehrsprachigkeit im Russischunterricht
Creators: name: Gußleitner, Gerald
Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich mit der Förderung von Mehrsprachigkeit und der Erschließung weiterer slawischer Sprachen im Russischunterricht. Auf der Grundlage aktueller Erkenntnisse zur Mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktik wurden mehrsprachigkeitsfördernde Aufgaben entworfen und mit Russisch-SchülerInnen im Rahmen einer Fallstudie durchgeführt. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass Sprachen nicht isoliert voneinander im Gehirn organisiert sind, wird die Sinnhaftigkeit des nach Fächern getrennten Sprachunterrichts hinterfragt. Die Europäische Union trägt mit zahlreichen Beschlüssen, Projekten und Aktionen dazu bei, ein Bewusstsein dafür zu schaffen, die individuelle Mehrsprachigkeit der europäischen BürgerInnen als wertvolle Ressource für die sprachliche und kulturelle Vielfalt Europas zu begreifen. Da die sprachenpolitischen Maßnahmen nicht dazu führen, die Fremdsprachenkenntnisse der EuropäerInnen zu erweitern, erscheint die mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktische Methode der Interkomprehension hierfür als geeignet. Anstelle einer illusorischen near native Sprachkompetenz sollen Teilkompetenzen in mehreren Fremdsprachen angestrebt werden, wobei der Fokus auf dem Erwerb rezeptiver Kompetenzen liegt. Mittels Interkomprehension können Texte in weiteren Sprachen derselbe Sprachfamilie erschlossen werden, indem die Lernenden aktiv auf ihr Vorwissen zurückgreifen und die Sprachverwandtschaft zwischen den Sprachen systematisch nutzen. Die Ergebnisse der Fallstudie zeigen, dass die befragten Russisch-SchülerInnen sprachenvergleichendem Lernen und dem interkomprehensiven Erschließen von Texten in weiteren Slawinen offen gegenüberstehen. Darauf aufbauend wurden zusätzliche mehrsprachigkeitsfördernde Aufgaben-Dossiers für den Russischunterricht erstellt.
title: Die Rolle der Stände im Hinblick auf die Zentralisierungsbestrebungen Kaiser Maximilians I. in den habsburgischen Erbländern
Creators: name: Böhm, Alexander
Year: 2022

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, Gründe herauszuarbeiten, warum es aus Sicht der Stände zur Zeit Kaiser Maximilians I. in den habsburgischen Erbländern zu keiner Ausbildung von Generalständen kam. Kaiser Maximilian I. gilt in der österreichischen Geschichtsschreibung als erster Monarch, der Verwaltungsreformen im großen Stil durchführte und diese zudem auch länderübergreifend, d.h. zentral organisierte. Sein Ziel war offensichtlich eine effizientere Ausbeutung der finanziellen und personellen Ressourcen seiner Länder, um seine großangelegte Politik, man möchte meinen Weltpolitik, bestreiten zu können. In der Tat erfüllten die Verwaltungsreformen ihren Zweck. Tatsächlich erstreckten sich die Reformen des Kaisers nicht nur auf die Reformen. Es gibt deutliche Ansätze, welche in der vorliegenden Arbeit gezeigt werden, dass Maximilian I. auch die Stände seiner Länder zentral organisieren, also Generalstände ausbilden wollte. Wie wir wissen, kam es im Endeffekt nie dazu. Die Vorteile für die Stände hätten jedoch stark für eine Ausbildung von Generalständen gesprochen, so zum Beispiel eine gemeinsame Front gegen die Politik Kaiser Maximilians I. Mittels zweier Zugänge wurde versucht die Gründe dafür herauszuarbeiten. Einerseits gab es eine Recherche der Sekundärliteratur, um die bereits vorhandene Forschung zu den einzelnen Ländern zusammenzutragen. Andererseits wurden die Beschwerdeartikel der Stände in den Libellen der Augsburger und Innsbrucker Ausschusslandtage der Jahre 1510 und 1518 inhaltlich analysiert. Der Vergleich der Beschwerden dieser Libelle erlaubte Rückschlüsse auf Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der Stände der einzelnen Erbländer. Einer der wichtigsten Gründe des Nichtzustandekommens von Generalständen war, dass die Stände der einzelnen Erbländer in ihrem Inneren divergierende Interessen hatten. Verständlicherweise ist dies eine schlechte Ausgangsbasis, um zu einer größeren Einheit zusammenzuwachsen. Weitere Gründe betreffen die Zusammensetzung der Stände, das rechtliche Verhältnis der einzelnen Kurien zum Landesfürsten sowie die unterschiedlichen Landrechte.

description: Purpose: This study had two main objectives: The first was to explore the extent to which a group of University lecturers feel that they are prepared to deal with controversial issues in their classrooms. The second was to elicit their views on a didactic approach known as Structured Academic Controversy (SAC). SAC is a constructivist teaching strategy intended to aid the learner in developing their views on controversial issues and in understanding alternative views with the ultimate aim of locating a compromise position. Method: A qualitative intervention was designed to introduce six university academics from diverse specialisms to SAC by way of reflective engagement with it in the role of learners. Findings: The participants in this study deal with controversial issues frequently and several feel ill-prepared to do so. They identified several challenges associated with the use of SAC. These relate primarily to class size and curricular overload. However, despite the challenges, the participants all recognized the potential value of such approaches in developing multi-perspectivity, critical thinking, listening and negotiating skills in the learner. Future larger-scale, longitudinal studies in a variety of cultural contexts are needed to develop approaches which can facilitate those approaching controversial issues in their classrooms.

On the Dirichlet and Serrin problems for the inhomogeneous infinity Laplacian in convex domains: Regularity and geometric results

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

description: Given an open bounded subset $Ω$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which is convex and satisfies an interior sphere condition, we consider the pde $-Δ_{\infty} u = 1$ in $Ω$, subject to the homogeneous boundary condition $u = 0$ on $\partial Ω$. We prove that the unique solution to this Dirichlet problem is power-concave (precisely, 3/4 concave) and it is of class $C ^1(Ω)$. We then investigate the overdetermined Serrin-type problem obtained by adding the extra boundary condition $|\nabla u| = a$ on $\partial Ω$; by using a suitable $P$-function we prove that, if $Ω$ satisfies the same assumptions as above and in addition contains a ball with touches $\partial Ω$ at two diametral points, then the existence of a solution to this Serrin-type problem implies that necessarily the cut locus and the high ridge of $Ω$ coincide. In turn, in dimension $n=2$, this entails that $Ω$ must be a stadium-like domain, and in particular it must be a ball in case its boundary is of class $C^2$.

Unintended Revelations in History Textbooks: The Precarious Authenticity and Historical Continuity of the Slovak Nation
Creators: name: Sulikova, Jana
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: This article proposes an analytical framework that helps to identify and challenge misconceptions of ethnocentrism found in pre-tertiary teaching resources for history and the social sciences in numerous countries. Design: Drawing on nationalism studies, the analytical framework employs ideas known under the umbrella terms of primordialism, constructivism and ethno-symbolism. In applying it, the conceptualisation of the Slovak nation, as presented in the history textbooks currently used in lower secondary schools in Slovakia, is examined as a case study. Findings: A conceptually inconsistent picture emerges from the findings, displaying prevailing patterns of primordialism and a degree of ethno-symbolism. Nevertheless, the article concludes that history textbooks lend, on a number of occasions, unintended support to constructivism. Hence, both this inconsistency in theoretical approach, and frequent use of problematic assumptions based on primordialism and ethno-symbolism show that the attempts of textbooks’ authors to demonstrate the authenticity and historical continuity of the Slovak nation remain precarious. Research implications: The analytical framework used in this article is well-suited for multi-country examinations of national narratives in curricula and textbooks of history and the social sciences. Practical implications: Teaching materials and pedagogic approaches drawing on constructivism could enhance critical engagement with ethnocentrism in Slovakia and beyond.

description: We study the effect of membrane proteins on the shape, composition and thermodynamic stability of the surrounding membrane. When the coupling between membrane composition and curvature is strong enough the nearby composition and shape both undergo a transition from over-damped to under-damped spatial variation, well before the membrane becomes unstable in the bulk. This transition is associated with a change in the sign of the thermodynamic energy and hence has the unusual features that it can favour the early stages of coat assembly necessary for vesiculation (budding), while suppressing the activity of mechanosensitive membrane channels and transporters. Our results also suggest an approach to obtain physical parameters that are otherwise difficult to measure.

subject: Early childhood education

description: Coding is an essential element of twenty-first century school curricula; however, it presents challenges for primary teachers. The problem addressed in this study is that despite vast research literature about coding in higher and tertiary education, how primary-aged children learning to code needs further investigation. Teaching ways of thinking for learning coding has received little attention in education research from the perspective of primary-aged children. Yet primary teachers have the responsibility to incorporate coding into school curriculum and many lack the training and knowledge of the discipline of coding. There has been little attention in education research direct from the study of primary-aged children. Teaching coding requires knowledge of how to support primary-aged children to develop the types of thinking used when learning to code. A qualitative case study was designed to observe the thinking of Year 5 children as they engaged in the coding challenge. The data was collected and analysed using think-aloud and video-stimulated recall interviews. Understanding the nature of children’s thinking when coding will better enable primary teachers to teach coding. The findings of the study unveiled a range of themes and sub-themes able to be categorised as 1. Behaviours 2. Skills and knowledge. The themes identified in the transcripts such as oral language, error analysis, cognitive, error correction, attitudes, and organising information, contribute to the understanding of how primary-aged children code, thereby, providing insight into the learning process for coding. Importantly, it has demonstrated that children who are learning to code express a broad range of behaviours, skills and knowledge for effective coding.

Year: 2016

description: Purpose: The aim of the research was to examine if adolescents can develop abilities of democratic interaction through Community Theatre. Design/methodology: Firstly, two instruments were applied, a questionnaire covering socio-moral problems, of the students and a Questionnaire, covering the Educational Ideologies of the professors. Then, a theatrical intervention was realized at middle-school students in Aguascalientes City, based on the objectives of the formation of Citizenship as stated at the National Curriculum. Findings: Students themselves stated a change in their attitude during the intervention, which was also observed and registered at the field diary and at the written evaluations. For this reason, we claim that Community theater could be used as a transdisciplinary method for teaching democratic skills, as it creates a public sphere where the students can develop democratic behavior. Research limitations: Further studies on the subject are required, especially concerning the time and the sample as the research had a two-month duration and was conducted at a limited population. Practical implications: The contribution of this project was the introduction of Community Theatre at the service of the Citizenship Education, promoting the artistic education as a means of the formal education in the search for personal and social democratic development and could be considered in an educational reform.

Under a suitable structural condition on the nonlinearity, we will show that the solution exists globally and decays of the order $O(t^{-1/2})$ in $L^\infty$ as $t$ tends to infinity without the condition of a compact support on the Cauchy data which was assumed in the previous works.

description: We study the effect of radio-jet core shift, which is a dependence of the position of the jet radio core on the observational frequency. We derive a new method of measuring the jet magnetic field based on both the value of the shift and the observed radio flux, which complements the standard method that assumes equipartition. Using both methods, we re-analyse the blazar sample of Zamaninasab et al. We find that equipartition is satisfied only if the jet opening angle in the radio core region is close to the values found observationally, $\simeq$0.1--0.2 divided by the bulk Lorentz factor, $Γ_{\rm j}$. Larger values, e.g., $1/Γ_{\rm j}$, would imply magnetic fields much above equipartition. A small jet opening angle implies in turn the magnetization parameter of $\ll 1$. We determine the jet magnetic flux taking into account this effect. We find that the transverse-averaged jet magnetic flux is fully compatible with the model of jet formation due to BH spin energy extraction and the accretion being a magnetically arrested disc (MAD). We calculate the jet average mass-flow rate corresponding to this model and find it consists of a substantial fraction of the mass accretion rate. This suggests the jet composition with a large fraction of baryons. We also calculate the average jet power, and find it moderately exceeds the accretion power, $\dot M c^2$, reflecting BH spin energy extraction. We find our results for radio galaxies at low Eddington ratios are compatible with MADs but require a low radiative efficiency, as predicted by standard accretion models.

description: Das Jahr 2020 stellte das Leben der gesamten Menschheit auf den Kopf. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit mussten wegen des SARS-CoV-2 Virus einschneidende Maßnahmen, welche alle Lebensbereiche betrafen, eingesetzt werden, um die Verbreitung des Erregers zu verhindern. Aufgrund von Expertenwissen konnte die Politik auf verschiedenste valide Maß- nahmen zur Bekämpfung des Virus zurückgreifen. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem mathematischen und statistischen Hintergrund, mithilfe dessen die gesetzten Maßnahmen überprüft und Vorhersagen getätigt werden. Dabei werden die sogenannten Agent Based Models im Detail betrachtet. Diese werden nach einem generellen Überblick über die Epidemiologie des Virus im Allgemeinen behandelt, um eine gemeinsame Wissensgrundlage zu schaffen. In weiterer Folge werden konkrete Beispiele für solche Modelle anhand der Modellierung des SARS-CoV-2 Virus präsentiert. Der Kern dieser Arbeit bildet ein selbstentwickeltes Agent Based Model, welches zur Prognose des SARS-CoV-2 Virus dient. Bei der Entwicklung des Modells wurde großer Wert auf die Einfachheit und Genauigkeit gelegt. Zusammenfassend wird durch diese Arbeit ein Überblick über die Methode der Agent Based Models gegeben und eine aktuelle Anwendung mittels eines selbstentwickelten Modells präsentiert.

description: The firewall paradox states that an observer falling into an old black hole must see a violation of unitarity, locality, or the equivalence principle. Motivated by this remarkable conflict, we analyze the causal structure of black hole spacetimes in order to determine whether all the necessary ingredients for the paradox fit within a single observer's causal patch. We particularly focus on the question of whether the interior partner modes of the outgoing Hawking quanta can, in principle, be measured by an infalling observer. Since the relevant modes are spread over the entire sphere, we answer a simple geometrical question: can any observer see an entire sphere behind the horizon? We find that for all static black holes in 3+1 and higher dimensions, with any value of the cosmological constant, no single observer can see both the early Hawking radiation and the interior modes. We present a detailed description of the causal patch geometry of the Schwarzschild black hole in 3+1 dimensions, where an infalling observer comes closest to being able to measure the relevant modes.

description: Dynamical phase transitions can occur in isolated quantum systems that are brought out of equilibrium by sudden parameter changes. We discuss the characterization of such dynamical phase transitions based on the statistics of produced excitations. We consider both the O(N) model in the large N limit and a spin model with long range interactions and show that the dynamical criticality of their prethermal steady-states manifests most dramatically not in the average number of excitations but in their higher moments. We argue that the growth of defect fluctuations carries unique signatures of the dynamical criticality, irrespective of the precise details of the model. Our theoretical results should be relevant to quantum quench experiments with ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices.

description: Purpose: There is a tendency to assess educational systems in terms of their efficiency in gaining high scores on cognitive skills. Schools perform, however, also a socializing function. The whole policy debate tends to ignore the impact of educational systems on attitudes or democratic values. This contribution focuses on the impact of the organization of education in European societies on the civic attitudes of adolescents. Design/methodology/approach: We explore the impact of academic segregation – the practice of segregating children on the basis of their scholastic achievement – on attitudes of adolescents living in different educational systems. We use the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (2009) relying on multilevel models. Findings: Pupils differ in their outlook on fellow citizens, according to the ways in which educational systems select and differentiate throughout school careers. More specifically, there is a negative impact of academic segregation on the attitudes towards immigrants and ethnic minorities. Research limitations/implications: The experience of adolescents based on their educational achievement seems to affect how they perceive other people. We have not answered the question why this is the case. We hope to have provided a minimal indication of the impact of inequality on social outcomes.

Class Council between Democracy Learning and Character Education

description: Purpose: Class council has become a popular approach for character education and democracy learning in German schools. However, it is not clear if the expectations are met in social practice. Approach: The data was gained with an ethnographical multiple method approach within three contrasting secondary schools. The study is informed by practice theory, theory of school and theory of social pedagogics. Findings: Logics of the school and logics of social pedagogy clash in class council. Opportunities for a democratic and social pedagogically framed school are inevitably limited. Class council focusses more on personal development and character education and much less on political or democratic education. Certain forms of class council subtly aim at student’s approval of undemocratic practices; therefore, class council sometimes camouflages a de-politicization of the school. Research Implications: A comparison of democracy learning and character education in different pedagogical institutions is recommended for further research. The methodology of reconstructing logics of school and logics of social pedagogy from a practice theoretical and ethnographical perspective should be elaborated. Practical implications: Teachers need reflective competencies in order to recognize the limitations of participation in practice. While aiming at the ideal of the mature, civically engaged and socially competent citizen, the limitations of participation and the responsibilities of societal institutions like schools should be made subject of learning, as well.

description: Background/Objectives: Traditional indirect calorimetry is unable to capture complete gas exchange in patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). We aimed to determine the feasibility of using a modified indirect calorimetry protocol in patients receiving VA ECMO, report measured energy expenditure (EE) and compare EE to control critically ill patients. Subjects/Methods: Mechanically ventilated adult patients receiving VA ECMO were included. EE was measured within 72 h of VA ECMO commencement (timepoint one [T1]) and on approximately day seven of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (timepoint two [T2]). Traditional indirect calorimetry via the ventilator was combined with calculations of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production derived from pre- and post-ECMO membrane blood gas analyses. Completion of ≥60% EE measurements was deemed feasible. Measured EE was compared between T1 and T2 and to control patients not receiving VA ECMO. Data is presented as n(%) and median[interquartile range (IQR)]. Results: Twenty-one patients were recruited; 16(76%) male, aged 55[42–64] years. The protocol was feasible to complete at T1 (14(67%)) but not at T2 (7(33%)) due to predominantly ECMO decannulation, extubation or death. EE was 1454[1213–1860] at T1 and 1657[1570–2074] kcal/d at T2 (P = 0.043). In patients receiving VA ECMO versus controls, EE was 1577[1434–1801] versus 2092[1609–2272] kcal/d, respectively (P = 0.056). Conclusion: Modified indirect calorimetry is feasible early in admission to ICU but is not possible in all patients receiving VA ECMO, especially later in admission. EE increases during the first week of ICU admission but may be lower than EE in control critically ill patients.
Maintaining Interest in Politics: ‘Engagement First’ in a U.S. High School Government Course

description: Purpose: Increasing students’ political interest has been a longstanding goal of civic education. One way to trigger students’ interests in political issues is by engaging them first in an attention grabbing activity (i.e., assigning them to roles). Because it is important to examine not only how roles may trigger political interest, but also students’ political interest afterwards, we asked: What happens to students’ interest in political issues after engagement first? Methodology: Drawing from Schwartz and Bransford’s (1998) ‘A Time for Telling’, we conducted a case study of three students, who experienced ‘engagement first’ activities in a class, and report on their interests about political issues in one particular activity. Findings: While role-play can help trigger students’ political interest. Our findings show that for students to maintain political interest, they need follow-up opportunities to engage in meaningful activities around politics. Research implications: Role assignment is a good way to trigger political interest, but productive disciplinary engagement can be coupled with engagement first to extent students’ political interest. Practical implications: Classroom activities that hope to support students’ political interest may need to include both ‘engagement first’ and further scaffolds for students to engage productively with politics.

Mindfulness for Obsessive-Compulsive and Substance Use Disorders: Toward Integrated Treatment Options for Dual Diagnoses
Creators: name: Nichols, Amy
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2015

description: Many individuals diagnosed with a mental illness will also struggle with substance use in their lifetime. Yet, interventions for specific comorbidities are seldom used and scarcely researched. The following review will explore the efficacy of mindfulness-based therapies for obsessive-compulsive (OCD) and substance use disorders (SUDs), respectively, in order to inform the development of new interventions for this dually-diagnosed population. Based on the literature, two promising therapies stand out: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as a group-based therapy called Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). Key skills espoused by mindfulness-based approaches will be reviewed, and a combined intervention approach is proposed.
Magnetic structure determination from the magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF): ground state of MnO

description: An experimental determination of the magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) defined in an earlier paper (Frandsen, Yang, and Billinge. (2014) Acta Crystallogr. A, 70(1), 3-11) is presented for the first time. The mPDF was determined from neutron powder diffraction data from a reactor and a neutron time-of-flight total scattering source on a powder sample of the antiferromagnetic oxide MnO. A description of the data treatment that allowed the measured mPDF to be extracted and then modelled is provided and utilized to investigate the low-temperature structure of MnO. Atomic and magnetic co-refinements support the scenario of a locally monoclinic ground-state atomic structure, despite the average structure being rhombohedral, with the magnetic PDF analysis successfully recovering the known antiferromagnetic spin configuration. The total scattering data suggest a preference for the spin axis to lie along the pseudocubic [10$\bar{1}$] direction. Finally, $r$-dependent PDF refinements indicate that the local monoclinic structure tends toward the average rhombohedral $R\overline{3}m$ symmetry over a length scale of approximately 100~Å.
