TOPOLOGICAL ISOMORPHISM OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND TEXTUAL ORGANIZATION OF THE TEMPLE OF THE INSCRIPTIONS

The study analyzes the spatial-numerical structure of the Central Panel of the Temple of the Inscriptions (Palenque). Within the framework of the structural empiricism paradigm, the glyphic corpus of 140 elements is considered as an independent structural object. The heuristic basis is the identified possibility of a bijective stratification of the text, isomorphic to the physical parameters of the building. An a priori marker set - a recurring "12 Ahau" cluster (positions 3, 23, 61) - is used as an independent control sample. Mathematical modeling with an increment step of d = 2 reveals classes of consistent 2D and 3D structures. The application of morphological filters selects configurations that parametrically match the facade projection and the internal axial vector of the monument. The presence of an arithmetic progression of markers with a step of 3 is revealed in two two-dimensional stratifications and the induced subset E of the cubic model. The evaluation of conditional probability ( ≤ 1/360) and the transition of the volumetric model to combinatorial topology substantiate the hypothesis that the metric of the monumental text can act as an independent carrier of spatial information
Teachers' Perspectives on the Integration of Refugees into the Swiss Compulsory School System
No full textWe register the design, hypotheses and statistical analysis for a survey experiment on compulsory school teachers’ level of support for policies aimed at newly arrived refugee pupils. In this setup, the experimental variation is the nationality label attached to otherwise identical policy statements (Ukrainian or Afghan), randomized between respondents and held constant across statements. The statements cover: (1) the allocation of pupils to the teacher’s school next term; (2) the provision of as many local-language lessons as needed during the first school year; (3) the provision of an earmarked per-pupil integration grant for the first school year; (4) the co-financing of mother-tongue and culture (HSK) classes during the first two years since arrival; (5) the option to waive formal grades in the first semester when evidence is insufficient, replacing grades with a short learning report; and (6) the provision of trauma-informed and intercultural-pedagogy training for teachers. We measure the level of support for each policy statement. For our statistical analysis, we estimate treatment effects using OLS. Results are reported in standardized units based on control group distributions. Heterogeneity analyses are conducted by linguistic region, gender, and nationality, but remain cautious given sample size limitations. The results of our study will shed light on whether there are different preferences from stakeholders (teachers) towards pupils from different nationalities within a compulsory school education system setting

Behaviours That Facilitate Children's Listening During Dyadic Group-Work in a Noisy Classroom
No full text1) We plan to use different tasks and types of noise to examine the listening behaviours (leaning in and gazes to the eyes, mouth, and elsewhere) of hearing children with typical listening, in a naturalistic classroom.
2) Further explore the relationship between speechreading, reading, and listening behaviours (leaning in and gazes to the eyes, mouth, and elsewhere
Hierarchies of Adaptation: Corporate Power in Economic Statecraft
No full textAs states weaponize supply chains, warnings of deglobalization and aggregate welfare losses have proliferated. But neither has materialized: trade volumes remain high and supply chains continue to span the globe. This paper argues that the surprising resilience of aggregate trade obscures a large-scale redistribution creating K-shaped divergence among firms navigating geoeconomic reordering. Who wins and who loses depends on two dimensions of corporate power: the strategic indispensability of what firms produce and their organizational capacity to reconfigure operations around geopolitical constraints. Because strategic designation attaches to specific outputs rather than broad industry categories, these capacities vary sharply among firms nominally facing identical pressures. Drawing on an original dataset of over 21,000 corporate earnings calls annotated using large language models alongside firm-level financial data, I demonstrate that sector membership explains remarkably little outcome variance. Adaptation operates hierarchically within industries, not between them. Firms controlling chokepoints or possessing reconfiguration capacity capture concentrated gains; those lacking strategic position bear recurring adjustment costs. As these costs cluster in regions previously affected by deindustrialization, supply chain restructuring risks intensifying the geographic polarization that fueled political demand for economic statecraft in the first place
