A qualidade da liderança: um estudo da teoria weberiana
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Curso de Ciências Sociais.A questão da liderança política em Max Weber é de extrema importância para o entendimento de toda a obra deste autor. Este trabalho de conclusão de curso (TCC) propõe-se examinar as formas como o pensamento weberiano qualifica a liderança política. Primeiramente cotejando a qualidade da liderança política nas classes sociais. Num segundo momento averiguar a qualificação institucional para tal liderança. Por último, o presente trabalho objetiva verificar no indivíduo as qualidades enumeradas por Max Weber. Tendo, principalmente em seus textos militantes os conceitos de “ética dos fins últimos” (ou ética da convicção) (Gesinnungsethik) e "ética da responsabilidade" (Verantwortungsethik) como sendo os principais tipos ideais na ética profissional como espírito do capitalismo ocidental. Max Weber entende que é a herança política e, consequentemente a educação política os principais referenciais para a compreensão do tema em questão.The issue of political leadership in Max Weber got the paramount importance for the understanding of all the work by this author. This study aims at examining this issue from the perspective of the weberian concept of qualified political leadership. Primarily aims at comparing the quality of political leadership in social classes. Secondly ascertain the institutional qualification for political leadership. Finally, this study aims to verify the individual qualities listed by Max Weber. Having mainly in his militant’s works the concepts of ethics of conviction (Gesinnungsethik) and ethics of responsibility (Verantwortungsethik) as the main ideal types in professional ethics as the spirit of Western capitalism. Max Weber believes that is the political heritage and consequently leading education policy the frameworks for understanding the topic in question

Vorwort der Herausgeber
Der Autor ist Professor Dr. phil. habil. Siegfried Weber, Prof. Emeritus der Technischen Universität Chemnitz, langjähriger Leiter des Wissenschaftsbereiches Deutsche Sprache
innerhalb der Sektion Fremdsprachen, Professor für Deutsch als Fremdsprache der Technischen Universität Chemnitz (bzw. Technischen Hochschule Karl-Marx-Stadt bis 1992).
Der Autor verstarb am 22. August 2018 im Alter von 90 Jahren in Halle (Saale).
In seinen letzten Lebensjahren arbeitete er mit großer Leidenschaft an diesem Studienbuch. Es ist die Essenz seiner jahrzehntelangen Berufserfahrung als Deutschlehrer für
Fremdsprachler. Leider war es ihm nicht vergönnt, die Veröffentlichung dieser Arbeit zu erleben. Seiner Familie ist es ein großes Anliegen, dieses Werk posthum der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen.
Siegfried Weber hinterließ ein 420seitiges Manuskript. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Anteil, den seine Frau Gisela an diesem Werk hat. Sie redigierte, solange es ihre Gesundheit
zuließ, in mühevoller Arbeit mehr als die Hälfte des Manuskripts. Sie verstarb etwa ein Jahr nach ihrem Ehemann. In den Jahren 2019 bis 2021 vervollständigte und redigierte der Bruder des Autors, Dr. Rudolf Weber, das Manuskript soweit, dass es nun in Gänze digital vorliegt. Korrekturen und Verbesserungen konnten zwangsläufig nicht vorgenommen werden, so dass wir die Leserschaft bitten, etwaige Fehler und Mängel zu berücksichtigen und zu entschuldigen.
Dieses Studienbuch kann als Hilfe und Anleitung dienen für die fundierte und wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise bei der Vermittlung der deutschen Sprache in Berufen
und verschiedenen Fachgebieten durch Deutschlehrer in der Muttersprache, als auch in der Fremdsprache Deutsch.
Als Familie sind wir sehr zuversichtlich, dass das Werk seine Leser und Interessenten unter den Germanisten und Linguisten finden wird und auf diese Weise das Lebenswerk von Prof. Siegfried Weber vollendet wird.
Die Herausgeber im März 2022Preface
The author is Professor Dr. phil. habil. Siegfried Weber, Prof. emeritus of the Technical University of Chemnitz, long-time head of the department of German language within the section of foreign languages, Professor of German as a foreign language at the Chemnitz University of Technology (or Karl-Marx-Stadt University of Technology until 1992).\u2028
The author passed away in Halle (Saale) on August 22, 2018, at the age of 90.\u2028 He spent the last years of his life working with great passion on this textbook. It is the essence
of decades of professional experience as a German teacher for foreign language learners.\u2028 Unfortunately, he died before finishing work on this book.\u2028
It is a great concern of his family to make this work available to the public posthumously.\u2028 Siegfried Weber left behind a 420-pages manuscript. Particularly noteworthy is the part his wife Gisela played in this work. As long as her health permitted, she laboriously edited more than half of the manuscript. She passed away about a year after her husband.\u2028
Between 2019 and 2021, the author's brother, Dr. Rudolf Weber, completed and edited the manuscript to the extent that it is now available digitally in its entirety. Inevitably, corrections and improvements could not be made, so we ask the readership to consider and excuse any errors and shortcomings.\u2028 This textbook can serve as an aid and guide to the sound and scholarly approach to teaching German in professions and various subject areas by teachers of German in the native language, as well as in German as a foreign language.\u2028
As a family, we are very confident that the work will find its readers and interested parties among germanists and linguists, thus completing the life's work of Prof. Siegfried Weber.\u2028

Tropical Fermat–Weber Points
No full textIn a metric space, the Fermat–Weber points of a sample are statistics to measure the central tendency of the sample and it is well known that the Fermat–Weber point of a sample is not necessarily unique in the metric space. We investigate the computation of Fermat–Weber points under the tropical metric on the quotient space Rn/R1 with a fixed n ∈ N, motivated by its application to the space of equidistant phylogenetic trees with N leaves (in this case n = N ) realized 2 as the tropical linear space of all ultrametrics. We show that the set of all tropical Fermat–Weber points of a finite sample is always a classical convex polytope, and we present a combinatorial formula for a key value associated with this set. We identify conditions under which this set is a singleton. We apply numerical experiments to analyze the set of the tropical Fermat–Weber points within a space of phylogenetic trees. We discuss the issues in the computation of the tropical Fermat–Weber points.The work of the first author was partly supported by the Coleman Fellowship.

The effects of charter proliferation on public school district finances
No full textAs charter enrollments continue to grow in the United States, the research base on charters also grows. Little of this research, however, focuses on the effects of charter school proliferation on the finances of public school districts. Using a nationwide, universally-reported, longitudinal dataset, I leverage variations in charter proliferation to estimate its effects on a variety of school district fiscal measures, controlling for differences in district characteristics. I find that, in many states, charter growth correlates with increased spending per pupil. While this increased spending may be mechanical in some states, comparisons of estimates based on federal- and state-level data in Minnesota and New Jersey shows this increased spending is likely due to fixed costs districts have in support and administrative spending. Policymakers should weigh this extra cost when considering policies that increase charter school enrollments
The effects of charter school proliferation on public district school spending: evidence from New Jersey
No full textUntil now, there has been little study of how the rapid growth of charter schools in the United States may affect the finances of public school districts that lose enrollments to charters. Leveraging a detailed dataset from New Jersey, I use fixed-effects models to show that public school district spending increases during the early stages of charter proliferation: in the most detailed model, spending rises $625 per pupil at 10 percent charter proliferation for the typical school district. Spending then appears to fall at a “turnaround” point; different models place this point between 11 percent and 24 percent charter proliferation. Variations in estimates of the effects of charter proliferation on categorical spending and categorical staff intensity suggest resources vary in their elasticity to charter growth, providing an explanation for spending increases and decreases. This paper contributes to the small body of literature on the fiscal effects of charter proliferation on public district schools, showing that any benefits from charter growth should be balanced against the costs of extra spending at district schools
New Jersey Charter Schools: A Data-Driven View - 2018 Update, Part I
No full textNew Jersey charter schools have grown significantly over the last decade in enrollment, in the number of sending school districts, and in financial impact:
•In the 2017-18 school year, enrollment in New Jersey’s traditional and renaissance charter schools surpassed 53,000 students, accounting for 3.6% of the state’s publicly funded student population.
•Charter enrollment has more than tripled over the last decade.
•Almost half of all New Jersey school districts send students and funding to charter schools. The number of such districts has increased from 198 in 2007-08 to 273 in 2017-18.
•In the 2017-18 school year, traditional and renaissance charter schools will receive an anticipated 164 million transferred to charter schools a decade ago.
New Jersey charter schools enroll a fundamentally different student population than the districts where their students reside:
•New Jersey charter schools continue to enroll proportionally fewer special education and Limited English Proficient students than their sending district public schools.
•The special education students enrolled in charter schools tend to have less-costly disabilities compared to special education students in the district public schools.
•Measures of student poverty are becoming increasingly unreliable because of school district participation in the US Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which allows high-poverty school districts and charter schools to provide free meals to all of their students. However, data for non-CEP districts shows that many charter schools continue to enroll fewer at-risk students then their sending district public schools.
In light of these findings, we recommend that:
•New Jersey should amend the state’s charter school law, The Charter School Program Act, to align the power to authorize new charter schools and expand existing charter schools with the financial impact of those decisions.
•The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) should modify the criteria used for evaluating charter schools for approval, renewal, expansion, and closure, to give substantial weight to how closely individual charter schools mirror the student population characteristics of their sending school districts, including Limited English Proficiency, economic disadvantage, and special education disability classifications.
•NJDOE should examine why New Jersey charter schools do not reflect the population of their sending school districts and make public the data that is already collected, to enable researchers to further study this problem.
•NJDOE should explore more accurate ways of measuring differences in student socio-economic status, including survey and sampling methods.Research report

No full textPatrick Gilmore's daughter, Minnie L. Gilmore, was an author in her own right. Her published works include "Songs from the Wings," "Pipes from the Prairieland," "A Son of Esau," and "The Woman Who Stood Between." One of her verses, from "Songs from the Wings," is entitled "To my father--Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore": "Though he is dead, I still may do/ Him honor, by a life akin/ To that pure life my childhood knew,/ His fatherheart within./ And for the true musician's place,/ You claimed a throne beside the priest;/ Since both, you said, redeemed the base,/ And blessed both great and least." In this song, her verse was set to music by Alfred George Robyn (1860-1935) a composer of light opera and founder of the Marion English Opera Company in New York.
