Abstract:
In this article, which is an edited version of my inaugural lecture at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, I argue that the concept of sovereignty is crucial to understanding one of the main questions of constitutional theory: how can constitutions facilitate self-government and, at the same time, function as mechanisms for the limitation of political power? I do so by re-examining four different ways in which I have encountered the concept of sovereignty through my academic work.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTStars formed in clusters can encounter other stars at close distances. In typical open clusters in the Solar neighbourhood containing hundreds or thousands of member stars, 10–20 per cent of Solar-mass member stars are expected to encounter another star at distances closer than 100 au. These close encounters strongly perturb the planetary systems, directly causing ejection of planets or their capture by the intruding star, as well as exciting the orbits. Using extensive N-body simulations, we study such fly-by encounters between two Solar system analogues, each with four giant planets from Jupiter to Neptune. We quantify the rates of loss and capture immediately after the encounter, e.g. the Neptune analogue is lost in one in four encounters within 100 au, and captured by the flying-by star in 1 in 12 encounters. We then perform long-term (up to 1 Gyr) simulations investigating the ensuing post-encounter evolution. We show that large numbers of planets are removed from systems due to planet–planet interactions and that captured planets further enhance the system instability. While encounters can initially leave a planetary system containing more planets by inserting additional ones, the long-term instability causes a net reduction in planet number. A captured planet ends up on a retrograde orbit in half of the runs in which it survives for 1Gyr; also, a planet bound to its original host star but flipped during the encounter may survive. Thus, encounters between planetary systems are a channel to create counter-rotating planets, This would happen in around 1 per cent of systems, and such planets are potentially detectable through astrometry or direct imaging.

Abstract:
Background: In the U.S., 20% of medical hospital discharges are readmitted within 30 days. Non-medical intervention strategies, such as teaching four specific self-management skills, have demonstrated reduction in readmission risk by a third or more. Objective: To investigate whether hospitalized patients are taught or learn four basic self-management skills (“four skills”) during routine clinical encounters.Methods: Design: Observational study from May to October 2012 in an academic teaching hospital. Participants: Consenting medical patients (aged 18 or over), their visitors or caregivers and their providers. Unit managers identified patients who would be discharged home and capable of learning the four skills. Interventions: A trained observer consented patients and monitored every provider encounter for mentioning and/or teaching of the four specific self-management skills’ content for intervals of up to 6 hours during daytime shifts. After each encounter, the observer queried the patient and their caregiver to see what information relating to the four skills they retained and understood. Additionally, observers recorded patient demographics, native language, provider type, and major medical conditions present at the time of the encounter. Five control activities expected to occur routinely for each encounter were monitored for comparison. Main measures: Frequency of one of four self-management skill education events during patient-provider encounters.Results: We observed 56 patients over 326 encounters involving 117 physicians or medical students, 134 nurses or nursing students, and 163 hospital staff. Among 189 encounters with clinical staff (physicians or nurses), the four basic self-management skills were mentioned in 54 encounters (28.6%) but taught only in 12 encounters (6.3%). The comparison with control behaviors show a much higher proportion (hand washing 35%-41.3%, identified role 29.5%, asking for more question 19.1%). Physicians are more likely than nurses to discuss clinical conditions, medications, or any of the four skills’ topics. Specific self-management teaching of patients led to better understanding of the these skills compared to just mentioning them (p = .03).Conclusions: Hospital providers rarely teach four basic self-management skills as part of regular care. Patients can learn this content while hospitalized which could potentially reduce 30-day readmission risk.

Full text
Abstract:
The central theme of the research presented in this thesis is an investigation of the stability of a symmetrically restricted four-body problem called the Caledonian Symmetric Four-Body Problem (CSFBP) (Steves and Roy, 2001) using a newly developed numerical integration scheme which enables the numerical exploration of the systems as they pass through two-body close encounters. A study of the hierarchical stability of the CSFBP system is made, followed by an empirical stability analysis of hierarchically stable regions in the phase space of the CSFBP. The study of the dynamics and stability of four-body systems like CSFBP is relevant in order to determine stable hierarchical arrangements which will be capable of hosting exoplanetary systems. A comprehensive literature review of the key features of the CSFBP is presented. The collision manifold of the phase space of the CSFBP is explored for a whole range of CSFBP systems and the fundamentallimitatioDs of the existing numerical integration scheme (cf. Szell, Steves and Erdi (2004a); Szell, Erdi: Sandor and Steves (2004)) have been analysed. It was found that, neglecting the collision orbits in the phase space of the CSFBP is a major limitation in the numerical exploration of the global stability features of the CSFBP. A review of regularisation theory is given, highlighting the key stages needed to develop a regularisation method for a gravitational few-body problem. A global regularisation method (cf. Heggie (1974)) is then derived to handle various two-body close encounters. An algebraic optimisation algorithm (Gruntz and Waldvogel, 1997) is adapted for numerically implementing the regularisation scheme. The numerical accuracy and the computational performance of the developed integration scheme were tested for a broad range of CSFBP orbits. Regardless of the nature of the orbits, it was found that the regularised integration scheme outperformed the standard non-regularised integration schemes in terms of computational performance and improved numerical accuracy characterized by stable energy profiles. The hierarchical stability of the CSFBP is investigated using the developed integration schemes. Numerical simulations were conducted for a comprehensive set of CSFBP orbits. It was found that the analytical hierarchical stability criteria was satisfied even after the inclusion of orbits with two-body close encounters. An empirical stability investigation was also made and it identified regions of hierarchical stability in the phase space of the CSFBP for any value of Co < Ccrit.

Full text
Abstract:
Efficient maritime navigation through obstructions is still one of the many problems faced by mariners. The increasing traffic densities and average cruise speed of ships also impede the collision avoidance decision making process by reducing the time in which decisions have to be made. It seems logical that the decision making process be computerised and automated as a step towards reducing the risk of collision. Although some studies have focused on this area, the majority did not consider the collision regulations or environmental conditions and many previously proposed methods were idealistic. This study develops a motion planning algorithm that determines an optimal navigation path for ships in close range encounters based on known and predicted traffic and environmental data, with emphasis on the adaptability of the algorithm to optimised for different criteria or missions. The domain of interest is the 5 nautical mile region around own-ship based on the effective range of most modern navigation radars and identification devices. Several computational constraints have been incorporated into the algorithm and categorised based on safety priority. Collision-free and conformity with collision regulations are the primary constraints that have to be satisfied; followed by secondary or optional mission specific constraints e.g. commensurate with environmental conditions or taking the shortest navigation path. Own-ship speed is considered to be a dynamic property and a function of the engine setting, which is a variable modifiable by the optimisation routine. The change in the ship’s momentum as a result of a turning manoeuvre is also included in the model. A modified version of an evolutionary algorithm is adopted to perform the optimisation, where the variables are spatial coordinates and the engine setting at the particular path segment. The navigation path can be optimised for specific criteria by adjusting the weighting on the cost functions that describe the properties of the navigation paths.

Abstract:
As a Higher Education (HE) lecturer in the United Kingdom (UK), I have taught Leisure students and supported their transition into placement work and graduate employment. This experience has made it clear to me that some students and graduates are not fully equipped to deal with the extensive customer demands placed on them in the workplace. The aim of this study is to analyse the skills and knowledge needed by graduates from Leisure courses to deal with real-world customer service encounters. A theoretical framework on skills, knowledge, education frameworks and employer requirements was used to identify what graduates might need in industry work and this was tests by gaining primary data from Leisure graduates. Critical incidents were gathered and interviews were conducted with five recent graduates and one current student from Leisure courses in Manchester. The data includes 57 critical incidents related to customer demands that the participants faced during service encounters in leisure roles; it also includes six semi-structured interviews on whether the participants felt their education prepared them to meet these demands. This study analyses the data using a theoretical framework of current publications and includes the theories of Soft Skills, Co-creation, Co-production, Emotional Labour, Aesthetic Labour, Sexualised Labour, Intercultural Sensitivity and Service Quality Theory. This study uses an innovative methodology to identify three key findings in support of the research questions. Staffs to staff dynamics and Intercultural Sensitivity are needed in Customer Service Encounter theory to use in Leisure UK Higher Education and fully prepare students for encounters in their graduate employment. These findings offer extensive contributions to current knowledge on theory and leisure education in UK HE to support development of all skills and knowledge needed for customer service encounters. Recommendations are raised to the Quality Assurance Agency (education governing body) and other leisure educators on how they might better educate and prepare their students for customer service encounters in graduate employment.

AbstractIn this chapter, the four bilingual (Finnish/Swedish) adolescents’ translingual practices, and identity performance and positioning are explored in informal pair conversations and semi-structured individual interviews with the researcher on the Swedish-Finnish border in Tornedalen. The aim is to investigate whether there is a link between the adolescents’ language use and identity performance and positioning. The data revealed that the four young people brought different performances of language use and identity positionings to the interactions during a period of five years. The study provides examples of dramatic changes in the case of one pair of participants’ mutual language use from using predominantly Finnish resources to using exclusively Swedish. As the pair’s language use changed, so did their identity positioning: They went from positioning themselves as Finnish-speaking and bilinguals to positioning themselves more and more as Swedish-speaking.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores the experiences and views on getting access to the Finnish language of four German-speaking migrants living in northern Finland, two of them in internationally orientated university towns and two in small villages. All informants consider learning Finnish as difficult but important because it offers access to the labour market and a sense of belonging. Age, time of migration, occupation, and place of residence have a strong impact in this process, for example, on the availability of formal language training and the status of English. While English still plays a minor role among elderly people in rural areas, it is the main means of communication for the younger migrants in the university towns. However, attitudes towards the dominance of English are ambivalent. English is empowering by giving one easier access to initial life in Finland, but at the same time it prevents one from gaining faster access to the Finnish language.

Abstract:
AbstractAanaar Saami is an indigenous language spoken by an estimated 400 people mainly around Lake Aanaar in Northern Finland. Within the past three decades, the once critically endangered language has acquired dozens of new speakers. This study provides a novel overview of the recent development of Aanaar Saami by combining a structural perspective to language change and an analysis of language ideologies behind probably one of the most successful language revitalisation projects in Europe. As for the ideological themes pertaining to Finnish influence on Aanaar Saami, it is possible to identify four recurring themes in the literature: (1) good vs. poor language, (2) language competence, (3) institutional domain, and (4) tolerance. The revitalisation of Aanaar Saami shows that even large-scale contact-induced changes need not result in a loss of linguistic or cultural identity among minority language speakers.

Abstract:
The fictional works of the Chinese writer Xue Yiwei, who migrated to Canada in 2002, can be regarded as a byproduct of cross-border mobility and cultural displacement. This paper examines the relationship between the individual and the metropolis in four short stories from the collection Shenzheners, focusing on the impact of the writer’s transcontinental relocation on his representation of city dwellers and intercultural encounters. This research adopts an interdisciplinary framework, which merges textual analysis with the approaches of Cultural Studies and Literary Urban Studies, and places this theoretical construction within a transnational context. By investigating the multiple narrative forms Xue Yiwei uses to question stereotypical cultural boundaries and to build a bridge between Chinese and global literatures, the connection between his experience of mobility and his hybrid fictional microcosm will be explored.

This paper introduces a scenario-building design methodology used in setting up a four-year Creative Europe Program project co-funded by the European Union. The project addresses an emerging field of action that aims to explore how small and remote places can benefit from the design of cultural and creative innovations within public spaces and in collaboration with local stakeholders. The paper describes how a common ground of scenarios has been designed for the development of project trajectories by defining future visions of action within small and remote places in Europe. This methodology is currently being applied and tested in ten pilot projects for the development of innovative creative solutions that address the specific needs of depopulated and relationally remote places considered to be depositories of material and immaterial culture that risks being undervalued, not consolidated, not handed down, and hence lost.

This paper, from the perspective of extension design, investigates the product family architecture composed of demand domain, functional domain, technology domain, and physical domain and establishes a product service system, which is centered on the product family development platform, based on the extension innovation method. The basic-element logic language and method of extension design is employed to analyze the characteristics of product family design including generalization, parameterization, modularization, and intelligence. In this paper, the product family design platform, including four models and three resource libraries, is developed through the formalized and modeled basic-element representation, configuration of modular elements, and intelligent generation path. Combined with artificial intelligence technology, this research constructs a smart product service system framework oriented towards product family design and proposes an extension design generation system.

Abstract:
Life event services have emerged worldwide as an approach for designing public services by addressing significant transitions in life and building an ecosystem around them. We study this approach as an opportunity to engage the ecosystem in a novel manner. Empirically, we investigated three digital public service cases in Finland that leverage the life events approach. Life transitions make gaps between systems visible to the large and complex network of value-creators. Life events is a unifying term for public administrations, cross-sector organisations, and communities involved as providers. Whilst this approach uncovers an underserved set of actors and situational motivations, it provides the service ecosystem with a shared purpose. Our analysis establishes four demands for designing service ecosystems around life transitions: semantic interoperability, ecosystem governance, segmentation model and purpose-driven approach.

Abstract:
When faced with an increasingly complex environmental crisis, the topic of an ontological transition from the current dualistic-driven ontology to a relational one is gaining importance in multidisciplinary discussions. Modern design has been considered as an essential part of the responsibility for the current crisis, and transformation is imminent (Fry, T., 2019; Fry, T., & Tlostanova, M., 2020). Moreover, a key research direction is emerging: to open up design ontology discussions by incorporating pluralistic cultural perspectives. Service design has grown dramatically in China in recent years (ArtTech innozone&CSDC,2020). On one hand, its development has included many Western-centered design paradigms and methods to establish disciplinary standards. On the other hand, Chinese service designers have gradually begun to reflect on their cultural roots and the complexities of the domestic situation, ultimately developing localized solutions. In 2022, Upbeing and Chinese Service Design Community (CSDC) organized a summer school in Quanzhou, Fujian Province with four tailor-made themes according to the local context. And they hope to use those themes to explore localized transformation and adaptive design development to achieve social innovation amidst China’s diverse geography.

Abstract:
Multiple volcanoes erupt yearly propelling volcanic ash into the atmosphere and creating an aviation hazard. The plinian eruption type is most likely to create a significant aviation hazard. Plinian eruptions can eject large quantities of fine ash up to an altitude of 50,000 m (164,000 feet). While large airborne particles rapidly fall, smaller particles at reduced concentrations drift for days to weeks as they gradually descend and deposit on the ground. Very small particles, less than 1 μm, can remain aloft for years. An average of three aircraft encounters with volcanic ash was reported every year between 1973 and 2003. Of these, 8 resulted in some loss of engine power, including a complete shutdown of all four engines on a Boeing 747. However, no crashes have been attributed to volcanic ash. The major forms of engine damage caused by volcanic ash are: 1. Deposition of ash on turbine nozzles and blades due to glassification 2. Erosion of compressor and turbine blades 3. Carbon deposits on fuel nozzles The combination of these effects can push the engine to surge and flame out. If a flame out occurs, engine restart may be possible. Less serious engine damage can also occur. In most cases the major damage will require an engine overhaul long before the minor damage becomes an operational issue, but under some conditions no sign of volcanic ash is evident and the turbine cooling system blockage could go unnoticed until an engine inspection is performed. Several organizations provide aircrew procedures to respond to encounters with a volcanic ash cloud. If a volcanic ash encounter is suspected, then an engine inspection, including borescope, should be performed with particular attention given to the turbine cooling system.

Abstract:
Technological growth is realizing an ever more intelligent and convenient future. But is this future equal, and what role does service design hold in addressing, or exacerbating, these inequalities? The relationship between technology and inequality is fluid, moving from the elimination of existing inequalities to the creation of new ones, and service design has the potential to impact this relationship. However, current literature to identify this potential is limited, with service design’s contribution to the technology-inequality-design nexus not clearly identified. This paper analyses the mutual relationship between technology, inequality, and service design, and proposes a novel framework incorporating four dimensions of service design and their links to inequality and applies the framework to autonomous vehicle (AV) technology as an example. More broadly, the framework can be used by service designers to identify different dimensions of hidden inequality within service design.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on metaphors as a methodology to design and reflect on design-led initiatives in the public sector. We are drawing on the experience of a capacity-building program developed in 2020 by Enap (National School of Public Administration) in partnership with teams of the Brazilian federal government, in which we conducted four projects through the metaphor of a collective dive. When analyzing the effects of the projects through conversations with participants, we expanded the metaphor, understanding the reflections as breathing, the project conditions as bubbles and currents, and the results as splashes. We see splashes as variable yet rarely acknowledged outcomes of programs that aim to simultaneously foster public innovation and collective learning. In this paper, we present an example of metaphors acting as boundary objects, adding granularity and nuance to the investigation of public innovation initiatives, and identifying their possible effects in relation to institutional logics and complex structures.

Vainovski-Mihai, Irina. "GIVING PRECEDENCE TO COMMON POINTS: THE LIMITS OF THE OTHERNESS IN FETHULLAH GÜLEN’S DIALOGIC METHODOLOGY FOR INTERFAITH ENCOUNTERS." In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/zvgs8407.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines Fethullah Gülen’s teaching on interfaith encounters highlighting his dialogic methodology proposed for a globalised world in which Samuel Huntington’s idea of the ‘clash of civilisations’ (Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, 1997) is still prominent. This idea, concludes Gülen, stems from the lack of trust in the religion of the “Other” and, rather often than not, from easily passing over the common points. According to Gülen, dialogue is not a superfluous endeavour, but an imperative (“Dialogue is a must”) and it should start by “Giving precedence to common points”. Gülen holds that the tendency toward factionalism exists within human nature. A meaningful and nonetheless necessary goal, he says, should be to make this tendency non-threatening and even beneficial. To fully appreciate the significance of Gülen’s accomplishments, one must understand the perspec- tive from which he approaches the subject of interfaith dialogue. Based on his thinking as noted above, the purpose of this paper is to set out in some detail the way in which this re- nowned Islamic thinker limits the “domain” of the Otherness (Homi Bhabha, The Location of Culture, 2004; Nation and Narration, 1990) to make dialogue possible through overcom- ing both Orientalism (Edward Said, Orientalism, 1978) and Occidentalism (Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit, Occidentalism: the West in the Eyes of its Enemies, 2004). Challenging the discourse of conflict and focusing on common points may be an important strategy when mutual suspicions are still prevalent and when the field of postcolonial studies stand witness to conflicting processes of refraction (Patricia Crone, Medieval Islamic Political Thought, 2005; Amin Maalouf, Les Croisades vues par les Arabes, 1986). Those who act according to what they have seen are not as successful as those who act according to what they know. Those who act according to what they know are not as successful as those who act according to their conscience. (Gülen 2005:106) This article aims to explore Fethullah Gülen’s teaching on interfaith encounters highlight- ing his dialogic methodology proposed to a globalized world in which models and theories of clashes are still prominent. These theories, concludes Gülen, stem from the lack of trust in the religion of the “Other” and, rather often than not, from easily passing over the com- mon points. According to Gülen, dialogue is not a superfluous endeavour, but an imperative (“Dialogue is a must”) and it should start by “Giving precedence to common points”. Gülen holds that the tendency toward factionalism exists within human nature. A meaningful and nonetheless necessary goal, he says, should be to make this tendency non-threatening and even beneficial. To fully appreciate the significance of Gülen’s accomplishments and the challenges he is facing, one must understand the perspective from which he approaches the subject of interfaith dialogue. Based on the above-mentioned landmarks of his viewpoints regarding the representation constructs, the purpose of my paper is to investigate the way in which this renowned Islamic thinker limits the “domain” of the Otherness or dilutes many of the apparently instituted boundaries. My paper starts from the assumption that recognizing the Other on common grounds is a prerequisite of dialogue. The first section of the essay focuses on conceptual frameworks of defining the “relevant” alterity (Orientalism, Balkanism, Occidentalism) and theories of con- flict (models of clashes, competing meta-narratives). The second section looks into identity markers expressed or implied by Sufi thinkers (Al-Ghazali, Rumi, Nursi). The third section discusses Gülen’s awareness with the Other and, consequently (as detailed in the fourth sec- tion) his identification of common grounds for dialogue. To achieve the aim of my study, throughout all the four sections, Gülen will be presented in a textual exchange of ideas with other thinkers and authors.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Sequential turn signals are becoming more common, partly because of the availability of the detailed temporal and spatial control of light that is allowed by LED sources. They seem to be popular with drivers, and some human factors considerations suggest that they may more effectively convey information about intended maneuvers. This research was designed to investigate possible benefits by presenting experimental participants with a variety of sequential and static turn signals under realistic field conditions. The experimental tasks were based on possible encounters at four-way intersections. Passenger cars were statically positioned to represent such encounters. Participants were seated in one of the vehicles and were asked to make simple but meaningful judgments about intended turns by the other vehicles. Visual conditions were realistic in terms of the viewing geometry and photometry. Experiments were conducted in the day and at night. Three experiments were performed. In two of the three experiments there were statistically significant preferences for sequential turn signals over static turn signals in subjective ratings, but comparisons between sequential and static turn signals in objective measures were not statistically significant in any of the three experiments.</div></div>

Potential Harms Resulting From Patient-Clinician Real-Time Clinical Encounters Using Video-based Telehealth: A Rapid Evidence Review. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), September 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepc_mhs4telehealth.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives. To review the evidence on harms associated with patient-clinician real time encounters using video-based telehealth and determine the effectiveness of any related patient safety practices (PSPs). PSPs are interventions, strategies, or approaches intended to prevent or mitigate unintended consequences of healthcare delivery and improve patient safety. This review provides information that clinicians and health system leaders need to determine how to minimize harms from increasing real-time use of telehealth. Methods. We followed rapid review processes of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center Program. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane to identify eligible studies published from 2012 to 2022, supplemented by a search for unpublished evaluations and white papers. Outcomes of interest included: adverse events (any harm to patients due to medical care), other specified harms (i.e., preventable hospitalizations, inappropriate treatment, missed or delayed diagnoses, duplication of services, privacy breaches), and implementation factors for any PSPs. Findings. Our search retrieved 7,155 citations, of which 23 studies (including 6 randomized controlled trials [RCTs]) were eligible for review. Fourteen studies reported on adverse events or unintended effects of telehealth; these studies were conducted in diverse settings, with four studies in behavioral health, two each in rehabilitation, transplant, and Parkinson’s care, and one each in postoperative, termination of pregnancy, community health, and hospital-at-home settings. Adverse events such as death, reoperation, infection, or major complications were infrequent in both telehealth and usual care groups, making it difficult to find statistically significant differences. One RCT found telehealth resulted in fewer medication errors than standard care. Thirteen studies examined preventable hospitalizations or emergency department (ED) visits and reported mixed findings; six of these studies were in postoperative care and two were in urological care. Of the 6 RCTs, 3 showed no difference in risk of hospitalization or ED visits for telehealth compared to usual care, and 3 showed reduced risk for patients receiving telehealth. We found no studies on the effectiveness of PSPs in reducing harms associated with real-time telehealth. Conclusions. Studies have evaluated the frequency and severity of harms associated with real-time video-based telehealth encounters between clinicians and patients, examining a variety of patient safety measures. Telehealth was not inferior to usual care in terms of hospitalizations or ED visits. No studies evaluated a specific PSP. More research is needed to improve understanding of harms associated with real-time use of telehealth and how to prevent or mitigate those harms.

Full text
Abstract:
The National Science Foundation operates stations on the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland to investigate Earth’s climate history, life in extreme environments, and the evolution of the cosmos. Understandably, logistics costs predominate budgets due to the remote locations and harsh environments involved. Currently, manual ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys must preceed vehicle travel across polar ice sheets to detect subsurface crevasses or other voids. This exposes the crew to the risks of undetected hazards. We have developed an autonomous rover, Yeti, specifically to conduct GPR surveys across polar ice sheets. It is a simple four-wheel-drive, battery-powered vehicle that executes autonomous surveys via GPS waypoint following. We describe here three recent Yeti deployments, two in Antarctica and one in Greenland. Our key objective was to demonstrate the operational value of a rover to locate subsurface hazards. Yeti operated reliably at −30 ◦C, and it has good oversnow mobility and adequate GPS accuracy for waypoint-following and hazard georeferencing. It has acquired data on hundreds of crevasse encounters to improve our understanding of heavily crevassed traverse routes and to develop automated crevasse-detection algorithms. Importantly, it helped to locate a previously undetected buried building at the South Pole. Yeti can improve safety by decoupling survey personnel from the consequences of undetected hazards. It also enables higher-quality systematic surveys to improve hazard-detection probabilities, increase assessment confidence, and build datasets to understand the evolution of these regions. Yeti has demonstrated that autonomous vehicles have great potential to improve the safety and efficiency of polar logistics.

Abstract:
International students’ social transition experiences are often discussed and researched in relation to their experiences on campus and with fellow students. However, international study also involves interactions and connections within students’ local communities beyond formal campus spaces. This paper reports on findings from a recent DAAD-funded research study which focused on the ways international students experience multicultural encounters within their local German communities, using photo-elicitation interviews with 45 students and 6 international office leaders. The study uses a sociological framing of “everyday multiculturalism”, which considered the everyday lived experiences of encountering cultural differences in small, mundane ways throughout our daily lives. The paper concludes with suggestions for practice, reflecting on the ways that DAAD and university staff might embed more holistic supports for international students’ community experiences.

Full text
Abstract:
With the expected arrival of autonomous vehicles, and the ever-increasing levels of automation in today’s human driven vehicles, road safety is changing at a rapid pace. This project aimed to address the need for an efficient and rapid method of safety evaluation and countermeasure identification via traffic encounters, specifically traffic conflicts that are considered useful surrogates of crashes. Recent research-delivered methods for estimating crash frequencies based on these events were observed in the field. In this project we developed a method for observing traffic encounters with two LiDAR-based traffic monitoring units, called TScan, which were recently developed in JTRP-funded projects SPR-3831 and SPR-4102. The TScan units were deployed in the field for several hours to collect data at selected intersections. These large data sets were used to improve object detection and tracking algorithms in order to better assist in detecting traffic encounters and conflicts. Consequently, the software of the TScan trailer-based units was improved and the results generated with the upgraded system include a list of potential encounters for further analysis. We developed an engineering application for analyzing the trajectories of vehicles involved in the pre-selected encounters to identify final traffic encounters and conflicts. Another module of the engineering application visualized the traffic encounters and conflicts to inspect the spatial patterns of these events and to estimate the number of crashes for the observation period. Furthermore, a significant modeling effort resulted in a method of producing factors that expand the conflict-based crash estimates in short observation periods to an entire year. This report provides guidelines for traffic encounters and conflicts, the user manuals for setting up and operating the TScan research unit. and manuals for the engineering applications mentioned above.

Abstract:
Đặng Tự Ân played a pivotal role in the genesis, adoption, and diffusion of pedagogical and curricular reforms that are transforming teaching and learning in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. His is a fascinating story of a career that began with the paralyzing disappointment of being assigned to study in a seemingly lowly teacher training college only to culminate, decades later, in his central role in the research, design, piloting, and scaling up of a reform that, despite numerous difficulties, would shape the most far-reaching and progressive curricular reforms in Vietnam’s long educational history. This essay uses the case of VNEN, a pedagogical and curricular reform adapted to Vietnam from the Colombian Escuela Nueva (EN) model, to advance our understanding of the challenges policy entrepreneurs and networks of policy stakeholders can encounter in efforts to institute pathbreaking reforms and of the formidable challenges they can encounter in bringing such reforms to scale. In contemporary research on the political economy of education and learning, the notion of an education system’s coherence for learning refers to the extent to which an education system develops relations of accountability that support improved learning outcomes across a range of relationships that define an education system and an array of policy design elements that education policies contain (Pritchett 2015, Kaffenberger and Spivack 2022). In the development literature, the notion of iterative adaptation speaks to a process wherein the performance of policies can improve rapidly through experimentation rather than mechanical transplantation of “best practices” (Andrews et al. 2013, Le 2018). From the standpoint of research on education systems and major reform efforts aimed at enhancing learning, the case of VNEN represents a particularly interesting instance of the innovation of pedagogical and curricular reforms that were, at their most successful moments, deeply coherent for learning, but which encountered problems at scale owing to a range of factors highlighted in this analysis. More broadly and however problematic at times, Vietnam’s VNEN experience contributed to the broad uptake and diffusion of new curricula and teaching practices. This raises questions about what we can learn from VNEN, including its successes and problems, that may have value for promoting continued improvement in Education systems performance around learning in Vietnam and other settings.

Abstract:
Households that hire domestic workers are a space of compulsive encounters where people of different origins and social class meet, experiencing physical proximity that makes the social distance that prevails between them even more noticeable. Drawing on current research and scholarship on paid domestic work in Latin America, this paper explores the different ways of analysing the encounters of women from highly unequal social positions in the narrowness of the private household, arguing that the combination of physical proximity and affective ties fosters the (re)production of social inequalities and asymmetries of power. But while it is within the convivial relations of these households that inequality becomes evident, it is also there where it can be negotiated, fought, or mitigated. Households that hire domestic workers are thus a privileged site for observing negotiations and disputes concerning social inequalities, and hence, a critical context to study the reciprocal constitution of conviviality and inequality.
