description: Ce travail vise à interroger le concept de « compétences interculturelles » proposé par l'Unesco dans un rapport de 2013, dans l'objectif de voir en quoi il pourrait constituer un outil permettant de penser l'intégration de tous les élèves. Une analyse du concept souligne l'importance d'opter pour une vision pragmatique de celui-ci étant donné le caractère toujours singulier et contextuel de la rencontre interculturelle. La notion de compétence peut être définie comme une capacité à gérer l'interaction interculturelle, ce qui faciliterait et encouragerait un mouvement réciproque vers l'autre. Développée à partir d'une éducation interculturelle portant sur le rapport à l'altérité, elle a pour caractéristique de constituer une capacité générique qui s'actualiserait dans le temps et l'espace. Faire émerger de telles aptitudes nécessite la mise en place d'enseignements appropriés qui ne pourrait se faire sans l'économie d'une préparation du corps enseignant à l'interculturalité, ce qui pose la question du rôle des instituts de formation dans le développement de compétences de ce dernier. L'incorporation d'un tel enseignement au sein de l'école amène également à s'interroger sur la dimension institutionnelle qui ne semble laisser que peu de place à la question interculturelle, qui pourrait pour l'heure, ne trouver qu'une entrée disciplinaire. Le concept de compétence interculturelle pourrait aussi comporter certains biais lorsque celui-ci est pensé dans une perspective économique purement utilitaire, c'est pourquoi il demande à être réinvesti afin d'en tirer toutes les potentialités.
Coincidence Problem in f(T) Gravity Models

description: In this assignment we try to probe the role played by torsion in the current scenario of coincidence and devise a set-up for its realization. In order to model the scenario, the energy arising from the torsion component is considered analogous to dark energy. An interaction between dark energy and dark matter is considered, which is by far the best possible tool to realize the coincidence. A set-up is designed and a constraint equation is obtained which screens the models of \textit{f(T)} gravity that can successfully accommodate the stationary scenario in its framework, from those which cannot. Due to the absence of a universally accepted interaction term introduced by a fundamental theory, the study is conducted over three different forms of chosen interaction terms. As an illustration two widely known models of \textit{f(T)} gravity are taken into consideration and used in the designed setup. The study reveals that the realization of the coincidence scenario as well as the role played by torsion in the current universe is a model dependent phenomenon. It is found that the first model showed a considerable departure from the stationary scenario. On the contrary the other four models are perfectly consistent with our setup and generated a satisfactory stationary scenario, thus showing their cosmological viability and their superiority over their counterparts. For the third model (exponential model) it was seen that the cosmological coincidence is realized only in the phantom regime. For the fourth (logarithmic model) and the fifth models, we see that the the stationary scenario is attained for negative interaction values. This shows that the direction of flow must be from dark energy to dark matter unlike the previous models. Under such circumstances the universe will return from the present energy dominated phase to a matter dominated phase.

description: Bridging equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical physics attracts sustained interest. Hallmarks of nonequilibrium systems include a breakdown of detailed balance, and an absence of a priori potential function corresponding to the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, without which classical equilibrium thermodynamical quantities could not be defined. Here, we construct dynamically the potential function through decomposing the system into a dissipative part and a conservative part, and develop a nonequilibrium theory by defining thermodynamical quantities based on the potential function. Concepts for equilibrium can thus be naturally extended to nonequilibrium steady state. We elucidate this procedure explicitly in a class of time-dependent linear diffusive systems without mathematical ambiguity. We further obtain the exact work distribution for an arbitrary control parameter, and work equalities connecting nonequilibrium steady states. Our results provide a direct generalization on Jarzynski equality and Crooks fluctuation theorem to systems without detailed balance.

The Vision of a Future Europe: Infectious or Infected? The Position of Education
Creators: name: Papastephanou, Marianna
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2007

description: This essay aims to examine the discourse that conceptualizes the educational exchange and the European culture within the framework of a theory of European identity construction. Then, I shall discuss the main positions of this discourse, their concern with the global market and their indifference about political and material inequalities. The following question is posed: which are the innovative proposals that could set in course an ideal of a unified, just and radical Europe? A first approach to it is provided by Habermas' and Derrida's recent publications. Their views constitute the starting point of my intervention in the debate on the educational future of Europe and the inculcation of a European identity in students' consciousness. But my response to the above question challenges the kind of European philosophical discourse that does not rethink the main objectives of the social and political elites of Europe. I suggest that we criticize the dominant position of those elites and that we promote an alternative normativity of equality and justice. In the absence of such a normative condition, the bad side of modernity may continue to prevail and serve the material and symbolic interests of the privileged European classes.

description: Recently, Model Predictive Contouring Control (MPCC) has arisen as the state-of-the-art approach for model-based agile flight. MPCC benefits from great flexibility in trading-off between progress maximization and path following at runtime without relying on globally optimized trajectories. However, finding the optimal set of tuning parameters for MPCC is challenging because (i) the full quadrotor dynamics are non-linear, (ii) the cost function is highly non-convex, and (iii) of the high dimensionality of the hyperparameter space. This paper leverages a probabilistic Policy Search method - Weighted Maximum Likelihood (WML)- to automatically learn the optimal objective for MPCC. WML is sample-efficient due to its closed-form solution for updating the learning parameters. Additionally, the data efficiency provided by the use of a model-based approach allows us to directly train in a high-fidelity simulator, which in turn makes our approach able to transfer zero-shot to the real world. We validate our approach in the real world, where we show that our method outperforms both the previous manually tuned controller and the state-of-the-art auto-tuning baseline reaching speeds of 75 km/h.

The History of Europe and its Constituent Countries. Considerations in Favour of the New Europe
Creators: name: Vergara, Javier
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2007

description: This article analyses the process of the development of Europe. The discussion is divided into three parts. First, the idea of a European identity with its humanizing, civilizing and Christian dimensions; we will consider how this served as the original foundation for a European identity. The second part looks into the diverse attempts to create a united Europe based on efforts to overcome models which in their turn sprang from nationalist perspectives. Finally, it examines the idea of a European interculturism whose foundation is a commitment to ethics and education.

Gapped quantum liquids and topological order, stochastic local transformations and emergence of unitarity

description: In this work we present some new understanding of topological order, including three main aspects: (1) It was believed that classifying topological orders corresponds to classifying gapped quantum states. We show that such a statement is not precise. We introduce the concept of \emph{gapped quantum liquid} as a special kind of gapped quantum states that can "dissolve" any product states on additional sites. Topologically ordered states actually correspond to gapped quantum liquids with stable ground-state degeneracy. Symmetry-breaking states for on-site symmetry are also gapped quantum liquids, but with unstable ground-state degeneracy. (2) We point out that the universality classes of generalized local unitary (gLU) transformations (without any symmetry) contain both topologically ordered states and symmetry-breaking states. This allows us to use a gLU invariant -- topological entanglement entropy -- to probe the symmetry-breaking properties hidden in the exact ground state of a finite system, which does not break any symmetry. This method can probe symmetry- breaking orders even without knowing the symmetry and the associated order parameters. (3) The universality classes of topological orders and symmetry-breaking orders can be distinguished by \emph{stochastic local (SL) transformations} (i.e.\ \emph{local invertible transformations}): small SL transformations can convert the symmetry-breaking classes to the trivial class of product states with finite probability of success, while the topological-order classes are stable against any small SL transformations, demonstrating a phenomenon of emergence of unitarity. This allows us to give a new definition of long-range entanglement based on SL transformations, under which only topologically ordered states are long-range entangled.

Civil Society as a Network of Communities
Creators: name: Henriques, Mendo Castro
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2007

description: According to a political philosophy approach, civil society may be defined as the network of institutions of private origin and a public purpose in which communities share goods, meanings and values, significantly contributing to the progress or decline of governance. Its empowering role is growing as cooperation networks spread across the local, national, supranational and global levels, strengthening both the communities they serve and the governance procedures they legitimize. Those institutions cut through the “tabula rasa” model of political society, creating networks of cooperation among people with common or at least complementary fields of experience, aims and judgements. The building of a typology of institutions according to functions of care, culture, capital, and citizenship, enhances civil society as an intermediate between community and governance.

description: Dry rainforests are less studied, more poorly conserved than mesic rainforests and are highly threatened by climate change and anthropogenic pressures worldwide. They are fragmented and typified by low mean annual rainfall, seasonality and the presence of deciduous species. The dry rainforest communities within Australia are no exception. The Central Queensland Coast region has a complex geological history and combined with a broad climatic variation, provide the foundation for a highly diverse landscape. The greatly fragmented dry and littoral rainforests of the Central Queensland Coast lie between adjoining regions of the northern Wet Tropics and Southeast Queensland subtropical rainforests. These regions are known to contain rainforest plant taxa of both Gondwanan and Indo−Malesian heritage which suggests that the Central Queensland Coast regions may be an area of overlap containing taxa of varying lineages. Little has been published about this region and our understanding of the diversity and distinctiveness of the rainforest plant assemblages found here, is lacking. Therefore, this study has focused on the highly fragmented coastal region of the Central Queensland Coast. The main objective was to assess community diversity and distinctiveness of the drier rainforest communities the Central Queensland Coast region to determine significant areas crucial for connectivity and conservation of rainforest biodiversity within it and along the east Australian Coast.

description: Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) have been widely employed for various AI tasks and have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance, especially in complex image recognition problems. The widely used for these tasks GPUs, although having a lot of computational power, come with very high power consumption. This is a deterrent factor for their usage, especially in cases where a small energy footprint is important, like on-board signal processing. In this thesis, we demonstrate an FPGA architecture implemented for the inference stage of a specific CNN, enabling the estimation of the galaxy redshift from spectroscopic observations by dividing the redshift range into 800 Classes. The proposed FPGA architecture achieved an improvement in energy efficiency of up to 11.9x alongside a 2.16x throughput speedup over GPU platforms. The results are from actual executions on FPGAs with space-qualified equivalent parts, enabling performing accurate redshift estimation in space with low energy cost, with no need for raw data transmission to the ground.
description: Τα Συνελικτικά Νευρωνικά Δίκτυα (ΣΝΔ) χρησιμοποιούνται ευρέως για διάφο- ρες εργασίες τεχνητής νοημοσύνης και έχουν επιδείξει κορυφαίες επιδόσεις, ιδίως σε πολύπλοκα προβλήματα αναγνώρισης εικόνων. Οι ευρέως διαδεδομένες για αυ- τές τις εργασίες κάρτες γραφικών (GPU), αν και διαθέτουν μεγάλη υπολογιστική ισχύ, έχουν πολύ υψηλή κατανάλωση ενέργειας. Αυτό αποτελεί αποτρεπτικό πα- ράγοντα για τη χρήση τους, ιδίως σε περιπτώσεις όπου είναι σημαντικό το μικρό ενεργειακό αποτύπωμα, όπως η επεξεργασία σήματος εντός συστημάτων. Στην παρούσα εργασία, παρουσιάζουμε μια αρχιτεκτονική FPGA που υλοποιήθηκε για το στάδιο συμπερασμού ενός συγκεκριμένου ΣΝΔ, το οποίο καθιστά δυνατή την εκτίμηση της ερυθράς μετατόπισης γαλαξιών από φασματοσκοπικές παρατηρήσεις, διαιρώντας το εύρος της ερυθράς μετατόπισης σε 800 κλάσεις. Η προτεινόμενη αρχιτεκτονική πέτυχε βελτίωση της ενεργειακής απόδοσης έως και 11,9 φορές, παράλληλα με βελτίωση της απόδοσης κατά 2,16 φορές σε σχέση με τις πλατφόρ- μες GPU. Τα αποτελέσματα προέρχονται από πραγματικές εκτελέσεις σε FPGAs, οι οποίες έχουν ισοδύναμα εξαρτήματα που έχουν πιστοποιηθεί για χρήστη στο διάστημα, επιτρέποντας έτσι την εκτέλεση ακριβούς εκτίμησης της ερυθράς μετα- τόπισης στο διάστημα με χαμηλό ενεργειακό κόστος, χωρίς την ανάγκη μετάδοσης ακατέργαστων δεδομένων στο έδαφος.

description: Ce travail traite de la question de la recherche de l’autonomie par les enseignants du gymnase lausannois de Beaulieu ainsi que du gymnase d’Yverdon. En effet, comment les enseignants cherchent-ils à rendre les élèves autonomes lors des cours d’EPS ? La question est intéressante car les deux gymnases fonctionnent différemment : A Beaulieu, les élèves choisissent un sport qu’ils pratiqueront durant 5 à 6 semaines lors de leçons cadrées et planifiées par un enseignant. Les classes sont mixtes. A Yverdon, les élèves sont dans un premier temps séparés (filles et garçons) et effectuent une leçon cadrée sans savoir à l’avance ce qu’ils vont faire. Puis en deuxième période, ils sont regroupés et choisissent ce qu’ils souhaitent faire entre 3-4 choix de sport. Pour répondre à notre question de recherche, nous avons dans un premier temps effectué des questionnaires qui traitent entre autre des notions d’autonomie, d’engagement et de motivation, que les élèves ont rempli et nous avons ainsi pu recueillir leur perception. Dans un second temps, nous avons confronté les enseignants de sport aux réponses des élèves. Formellement, ce travail de mémoire présente un cadre théorique, afin que le lecteur puisse se familiariser avec les concepts clés de notre étude, puis décrit le contexte du gymnase par rapport à l’enseignement du sport. La partie principale retrace et analyse les résultats obtenus en se basant sur les éléments importants de notre recherche. Enfin, nous soulignons les limites d’une telle démarche et terminons par une conclusion.

description: A bulk metallic glass forming alloy is subjected to shear flow in its supercooled state by compression of a short rod to produce a flat disc. The resulting material exhibits enhanced crystallization kinetics during isothermal annealing as reflected in the decrease of the crystallization time relative to the non-deformed case. The transition from quiescent to shear-accelerated crystallization is linked to strain accumulated during shear flow above a critical shear rate $\dotγ_c\approx 0.3$ s$^{-1}$ which corresponds to Péclet number, $Pe\sim\mathcal{O}(1)$. The observation of shear accelerated crystallization in an atomic system at modest shear rates is uncommon. It is made possible here by the substantial viscosity of the supercooled liquid which increases strongly with temperature in the approach to the glass transition. We may therefore anticipate the encounter of non-trivial shear-related effects during thermoplastic deformation of similar systems.

description: Cette étude, menée dans le cadre du Master en enseignement secondaire II à la Haute Ecole Pédagogique de Lausanne, se focalise sur les représentations liées à l’utilisation des TIC dans les classes de langues de deux établissements post-­‐obligatoires romands. Lors des dernières décennies, les avancées technologiques ont eu un impact considérable sur la qualité de vie ainsi que sur les pratiques politiques et sociales. L’apport de ces changements dans le domaine de l’éducation reste un sujet de recherche actuel. L’utilisation des ordinateurs a évolué en ce qui concerne la variété des formats vidéo, son accessibilité en classe et les techniques d’utilisation des vidéos. L’ordinateur, outil pédagogique nécessaire, offre de nombreuses possibilités d’utilisation (un enseignement avec des instructions en ligne, correspondance en ligne avec d’autres élèves, cours de préparation d’examen ou cours d’appui). Il nous a ainsi paru pertinent d’observer à quel(s) besoin(s) pédagogique(s) les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) répondent et ce afin de voir leurs avantages et inconvénients, tels que perçus par les enseignants. A l’aide de questionnaires, nous avons interrogées des enseignants sur leur usage des TIC et dans quels mesure ils répondaient à des besoins liés à la variation, la motivation ou la relation pédagogique. Les résultats montrent que si la totalité des enseignants exprime utiliser les TIC dans leur enseignement, les raisons principales de cette pratique sont l’intérêt des élèves et des enseignants. Par ailleurs, les enseignants perçoivent l’utilisation de TIC comme facilitant l’accès aux contenus authentiques même s’ils dénotent ne pas les utiliser dans des travaux individuels et de groupes. Nos résultats et observations ont été intéressants car ils permettent d’engager un réel dialogue sur le moteur de ce changement dans les pratiques enseignantes ainsi que les avantages et inconvénients perçus.
Generational Belonging and Mediascape in Europe

description: "Web generation", "Nintendo generation", "e-generation" and so forth, are just a few among the popular generational definitions often mentioned not only in journalistic simplifications but also in scientific publications. This paper presents a theoretical examination of the implications and the limits of the generational approaches to audience research, in order to show under what conditions they can in fact be both relevant and useful. Refusing the simplifying attitude that dominates in popularization just quoted, the analysis develops the sociological tradition, drawn on the work of Mannheim, that studies the generations as a collective subject bound by a shared historical semantics, a resource of models of interpretation and linguistic devices by means of which experiences are thematicized and crystallized in a common "we-sense". On the basis of a certain body of empirical evidences, the authors outline some significant aspects and mechanisms of the mutually reinforcing relationship between media diet and generational semantics, pointing out the capacity of certain specific products to unite the generations in shared cultural legacy. The article concludes with a look to European framework, suggesting that a common European culture must be promoted by institutional strategies that look at the media as means for its dissemination, and that take stock both of local construction of identities and of cultural diversification between generations.

description: Le présent travail est une exploration des liens entre les pratiques éducatives des enseignants perçues par des élèves de première année de gymnase, âgés en moyenne de 16.08 ans (EC= 1,01), et leur consommation d’alcool et de cannabis. Les données ont été récoltées à travers un questionnaire qui a été soumis aux élèves pendant leurs heures de cours. Concernant les pratiques éducatives, la participation des élèves à la vie de l’école et la gestion des comportements en classe par les enseignants ont obtenu le score le plus bas. En revanche, l’implantation et la clarté des règles et le soutien offert aux élèves en difficulté ont obtenu le score le plus haut. En terme de consommation de substances, il est intéressant de remarquer que la grande majorité des élèves interrogés n’ont jamais consommé de cannabis et que seulement un petit pourcentage démontre une consommation abusive de la substance. Pour l’alcool, il s’est avéré que près d’un tiers des étudiants n’ont jamais consommé et qu’ici également seulement une faible proportion des participants révèle une consommation abusive. L’analyse de variance (ANOVA) a démontré un lien entre certaines fréquences de consommation d’alcool et de cannabis. Il s’est avéré que l’implantation, la participation, l’application, les pratiques pédagogiques et la motivation étaient perçues différemment, particulièrement par les élèves ayant une consommation d’alcool considérée comme abusive. La consommation de cannabis est associée au temps consacré à l’enseignement et les pratiques pédagogiques. Ces résultats permettent d’apporter de nouvelles connaissances permettant d’aider les enseignants et les établissements dans lesquels ils pratiquent à intervenir de manière plus adéquate à l’égard des élèves qui seraient dans une situation de vulnérabilité face à la consommation de substance. En plus de fournir des précisions sur la situation de la consommation de substances chez les gymnasiens, ce travail encourage également de poursuivre la discussion sur ce sujet qui demeure source de préoccupation pour beaucoup de professionnels de la sphère éducative.

description: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Yet, COPD diagnosis heavily relies on spirometric examination as well as functional airway limitation, which may cause a considerable portion of COPD patients underdiagnosed especially at the early stage. Recent advance in deep learning (DL) has shown their promising potential in COPD identification from CT images. However, with heterogeneous syndromes and distinct phenotypes, DL models trained with CTs from one data center fail to generalize on images from another center. Due to privacy regularizations, a collaboration of distributed CT images into one centralized center is not feasible. Federated learning (FL) approaches enable us to train with distributed private data. Yet, routine FL solutions suffer from performance degradation in the case where COPD CTs are not independent and identically distributed (Non-IID). To address this issue, we propose a novel personalized federated learning (PFL) method based on vision transformer (ViT) for distributed and heterogeneous COPD CTs. To be more specific, we partially personalize some heads in multiheaded self-attention layers to learn the personalized attention for local data and retain the other heads shared to extract the common attention. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proposal of a PFL framework specifically for ViT to identify COPD. Our evaluation of a dataset set curated from six medical centers shows our method outperforms the PFL approaches for convolutional neural networks.

description: We present a method of calculating the strong-field gravitational lensing caused by many analytic and numerical spacetimes. We use this procedure to calculate the distortion caused by isolated black holes and by numerically evolved black hole binaries. We produce both demonstrative images illustrating details of the spatial distortion and realistic images of collections of stars taking both lensing amplification and redshift into account. On large scales the lensing from inspiraling binaries resembles that of single black holes, but on small scales the resulting images show complex and in some cases self-similar structure across different angular scales.

Between Inclusion and Marginality: The Role of Education in Migrant Children

description: Creating and transmitting a common idea of European citizenship, based on values as individual freedom, equality, tolerance, dignity of individuals independently from gender, religion, race or social class is possibly the main task for educational policies in school and in permanent education. This is a difficult task, because European Union is becoming more and more heterogeneous in its composition, but also because migrations have to be considered as one of the social megatrends affecting Europe, increasing the community's complexity. The rate of migrants students is growing also in Italy by number, native country and level of education: in this varied population school attendance could be both a source of marginalisation or a tool for inclusion and social mobility. The concept of citizenship, including participation, cooperation, and tolerance, becomes then crucial, and the socialisation processes and agencies have to cooperate organizing education to support civicness, and mediating between ethnic origin and culture and the values of the host countries.

description: L’avènement du numérique a révolutionné les modes de communication et de socialisation. Les adolescents, en particulier, sont de grands utilisateurs du numérique qui fait aujourd’hui partie de leur quotidien. Cependant, bien que porteur de nombreux avantages tant du point de vue de la communication que de l’apprentissage ou du développement, il comporte aussi de nombreux risques, dont le cyber-harcèlement que nous avons choisi d’étudier dans ce mémoire. Le cyber-harcèlement a été défini comme un acte agressif intentionnel ayant pour objectif de blesser, réalisé de manière répétée, par un individu ou un groupe d’individus à l’égard d’une victime dans un contexte de relation de pouvoir non-équilibrée en utilisant l’outil numérique. Les 88 élèves de première année de l’école de maturité interrogés possèdent un smartphone et seul un élève n’est membre d’aucun réseau social. Plus de 50% d’entre eux indiquent passer de 1 à 3 heures sur internet et les réseaux sociaux, 30% déclarant être connectés en permanence. Pourtant, le temps passé sur internet ne constitue pas toujours du plaisir puisqu’entre 19% et 35% des élèves indique avoir été victime de cyber-harcèlement. Les élèves peuvent être répartis en quatre catégories : les victimes de cyber-harcèlement, les acteurs de cyber-harcèlement, les acteurs/victimes de cyber-harcèlement et les élèves non impliqués. Ainsi tous les acteurs de cyber-harcèlement de notre étude ont été victimes au moins de cyber-violence et 68% des victimes de cyber-harcèlement sont aussi acteurs de cyber-harcèlement ou de cyber-violence, ce qui suggère l’existence de réactions en chaine suite à un cyber-harcèlement, la victime devant acteur de cyber-harcèlement. Nous faisions l’hypothèse que les victimes de cyber-harcèlement sont plus souvent de sexe féminin, ce qui n’a pas été vérifié. Elles possèdent par contre, conformément à notre seconde hypothèse une estime de soi plus basse. Nous n’avons pas mis en évidence de différence significative de soutien amical et familial qui aurait été moins fort parmi les victimes de cyber-harcèlement. Nous suggérons que les victimes de cyber-harcèlement n’ont pas nécessairement un soutien amical moindre mais qu’elles auraient des amis moins en mesure de les protéger. Le score de victimisation estimé par la somme des fréquences d’actes de cyber-violence, est corrélé positivement avec l’anxiété sociale, et cette dernière est corrélée avec le soutien amical et familial. Ainsi nous suggérons que trois facteurs interagissent, le soutien amical, le soutien familial et la popularité de l’élève, et qu’il existe une combinaison optimale pour que ces caractéristiques agissent comme facteur protecteur de cyber-harcèlement.
On the Borders of Europe. Citizenship Education and Identity in Cyprus

description: This paper is about the concept of "Europe" and how it could be used as an educational framework to alleviate existing tensions regarding citizenship education and Euro-pean/national/state identity in the context of Cyprus. To this end, the paper serves both a descriptive and a normative agenda, in that it largely describes recent theoretical and political development in civics and citizenship education in Europe and in Cyprus, in order to explore, in the last part of the paper, the potential of using "Europe" and "European citizenship" as tools for reflection and dialogue over (Greek)-Cypriot citizenship and identity. The study of European citi-zenship is complicated due to its different meanings and associations with national identities; I argue that in Cyprus this is further complicated by a political problem of community conflict and partition, which has long been challenging peoples' national identities. Cyprus, an island lying on the borders of (traditional geographical definitions of) Europe and one of the European Union's most recent member-states needs to revisit its approaches to citizenship as a condition of EU membership. The paper illustrates how ongoing discussions and debates over the political problem of Cyprus render it extremely difficult to take decisive steps towards reconceptualising existing Greek-Cypriot civics and citizenship education curricula, exactly because notions of national identity have so far been inextricably interwoven into these curricula. It is proposed that a revisiting of the meaning of "Europe" and the discourses of post-national, multicultural and European citizenship, as well as human rights and democracy might be useful tools to address citizenship and identity dilemmas deriving both from EU membership and the political problem in Cyprus.

description: Ce travail de mémoire a eu pour but de comprendre le mode d'utilisation des ressources pédagogiques par les utilisateurs (enseignants vaudois) de la banque de ressources pédagogiques (BDRP). Un questionnaire que nous avons créé et soumis aux utilisateurs inscrits de la BDRP nous a permis de répondre à notre question de recherche (420 ont réponses obtenues). Après analyse des résultats, trois types d'usage des ressources disponibles ont été majoritairement relevés : elles sont modifiées puis adaptées par l’enseignant, elles sont utilisées comme sources d'inspiration pour l'élaboration des cours ou sont utilisées telles quelles, sans la moindre modification. L'enquête sur les facteurs influençant l'utilisation des ressources pédagogiques de la BDRP a montré que le gain de temps, la qualité des ressources et leur cohérence avec les objectifs de plans d'étude sont des facteurs primordiaux pour l'utilisation des ressources. D'après les résultats obtenus, la présence des équipements TIC en classe, en particulier internet ou ordinateur, est une source de motivation pour les enseignants à utiliser des ressources en ligne.

description: Let $G$ be a simply connected simple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$, $B$ and $B_-$ be two opposite Borel subgroups in $G$ and $W$ be the Weyl group. For $u$, $v\in W$, it is known that the coordinate ring ${\mathbb C}[G^{u,v}]$ of the double Bruhat cell $G^{u,v}=BuB\cap B_-vB_-$ is isomorphic to an upper cluster algebra $\bar{\mathcal A}({\bf i})_{\mathbb C}$ and the generalized minors $\{Δ(k;{\bf i})\}$ are the cluster variables belonging to a given initial seed in ${\mathbb C}[G^{u,v}]$ [Berenstein A., Fomin S., Zelevinsky A., Duke Math. J. 126 (2005), 1-52, math.RT/0305434]. In the case $G={\rm SL}_{r+1}({\mathbb C})$, $v=e$ and some special $u\in W$, we shall describe the generalized minors $\{Δ(k;{\bf i})\}$ as summations of monomial realizations of certain Demazure crystals.

description: We consider a low $T_c$ metallic superconductor weakly coupled to the soft fluctuations associated with proximity to a nematic quantum critical point (NQCP). We show that: 1) a BCS-Eliashberg treatment remains valid outside of a parametrically narrow interval about the NQCP; 2) the symmetry of the superconducting state (d-wave, s-wave, p-wave) is typically determined by the non-critical interactions, but $T_c$ is enhanced by the nematic fluctuations in all channels; 3) in 2D, this enhancement grows upon approach to criticality up to the point at which the weak coupling approach breaks-down, but in 3D the enhancement is much weaker.
