Educational technology - mapping the terrain with Bernstein as cartographer
No full textThis is the accepted version of the following article: Czerniewicz, L. 2010. Educational technology - mapping the terrain with Bernstein as cartographer. Journal of Computer Assisted Learning. 26(6): 523-534., which has been published in final form at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2729.2010.00359.x.This paper uses the literature of educational technology as the site of analysis in order to map the field of educational technology. Having considered Kuhn and Bourdieu's theories, the paper frames the analysis of the field in Bernsteinian terms as a horizontal knowledge structure in a vertical knowledge discourse. Using the concepts of interacting discursive planes, the paper maps the field in terms of its general approach planes and its problem planes. Finally, the paper shows that researchers in the field themselves acknowledge its weak grammar, and calls for commensurability of approaches to be acknowledged in order for robust knowledge to be developed and the legitimacy of the field to be enhanced

On self-similar Bernstein functions and corresponding generalized fractional derivatives
No full textWe use the theory of Bernstein functions to analyze power law tail behavior
with log-periodic perturbations which corresponds to self-similarity of the
Bernstein functions. Such tail behavior appears in the context of semistable
L\'evy processes. The Bernstein approach enables us to solve some open
questions concerning semi-fractional derivatives recently introduced in {\it
Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal.} {\bf 22}(2), pp. 326--357, by means of the generator
of certain semistable L\'evy processes. In particular it is shown that
semi-fractional derivatives can be seen as generalized fractional derivatives
in the sense of Kochubei ({\it Integr. Equ. Oper. Theory} {\bf 71}, pp.
583--600)
Circular Bernstein-Bézier Polynomials
No full text. In this paper we discuss a natural way to define barycentric coordinates associated with circular arcs. This leads to a theory of Bernstein-B'ezier polynomials which parallels the familiar interval case, and which has close connections to trigonometric polynomials. x1. Introduction Bernstein-B'ezier (BB-) polynomials defined on an interval are useful tools for constructing piecewise functional and parametric curves. They play an important role in CAGD, data fitting and interpolation, and elsewhere. The purpose of this paper is to develop an analogous theory where the domain of the polynomials is a circular arc rather than an interval. In addition to their intrinsic interest, the circular BB-polynomials studied here are also useful for describing the behavior of spherical BB-polynomials [1] on the circular arcs making up the edges of spherical triangles. The paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2 we introduce a kind of circular barycentric coordinate which is the basis for our dev..
Polynomial inequalities on exponential curves in
No full textWe discuss Bernstein–Walsh type inequalities for holomorphic polynomials
restricted to curves of the form
z, eP1(z), eP2(z), . . . , ePd (z) ∈ Cd+1,
where P1,P2, . . . , Pd are fixed polynomials on C (such that the functions z and ePk(z)
are algebraically independent). The existence of such inequalities automatically implies
the existence of associated Bernstein–Markov inequalities on the derivatives of
polynomials restricted to the curve. The d = 1 case has been much discussed in the
recent literature. However, the d > 1 case requires different techniques, and that is
the subject of this work

Communities of practice and habitus: a critique
No full textPierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus is frequently drawn upon in work on learning and knowledge in organizations. However, this use is much looser than Bourdieu’s emphasis on habitus as generative structure. This tension is explored in an examination of the work of UK public house managers, using the notion of communities of practice. The issues that this raises about habitus are developed through a consideration of the work of Basil Bernstein. His work indicates the value of a concept that emphasizes durable dispositions to act, but such a concept needs to be embedded in a relational conception of the agency-structure divide
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
