Ingrid Ylva och tornet i Bjälbo
No full textThe article discusses the background to the erection of the huge church tower in Bjälbo, Östergötland, Sweden. It also focuses on medieval women as founders of churches. The author maintains that new dendrochronological dating of the tower could mean that founder of this building piece was not one of the male members of the important Bjälbo dynasty, but Ingrid Ylva the mother of Birger Jarl

DYNA3D, INGRID, and TAURUS: an integrated, interactive software system for crashworthiness engineering
No full textCrashworthiness engineering has always been a high priority at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory because of its role in the safe transport of radioactive material for the nuclear power industry and military. As a result, the authors have developed an integrated, interactive set of finite element programs for crashworthiness analysis. The heart of the system is DYNA3D, an explicit, fully vectorized, large deformation structural dynamics code. DYNA3D has the following four capabilities that are critical for the efficient and accurate analysis of crashes: (1) fully nonlinear solid, shell, and beam elements for representing a structure, (2) a broad range of constitutive models for representing the materials, (3) sophisticated contact algorithms for the impact interactions, and (4) a rigid body capability to represent the bodies away from the impact zones at a greatly reduced cost without sacrificing any accuracy in the momentum calculations. To generate the large and complex data files for DYNA3D, INGRID, a general purpose mesh generator, is used. It runs on everything from IBM PCs to CRAYS, and can generate 1000 nodes/minute on a PC. With its efficient hidden line algorithms and many options for specifying geometry, INGRID also doubles as a geometric modeller. TAURUS, an interactive post processor, is used to display DYNA3D output. In addition to the standard monochrome hidden line display, time history plotting, and contouring, TAURUS generates interactive color displays on 8 color video screens by plotting color bands superimposed on the mesh which indicate the value of the state variables. For higher quality color output, graphic output files may be sent to the DICOMED film recorders. We have found that color is every bit as important as hidden line removal in aiding the analyst in understanding his results. In this paper the basic methodologies of the programs are presented along with several crashworthiness calculations

No full textGlobal climate change is causing more extreme droughts, as well as subtler chronic changes in precipitation patterns. Both chronic and extreme precipitation change can alter ecosystem structure and function, and these alterations may affect how systems respond to future extreme climatic events. Understanding how legacies of various past precipitation changes may alter the effects of future extreme droughts will be important for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. We investigated how ecological legacies of experimentally-imposed chronic and extreme precipitation changes altered the impact of an extreme drought on an economically-important grassland ecosystem.Top Scholars for University-Wide Graduate Programs

La cultura escolar en la sociedad neoliberal. Pérez-Gómez, A.I (1998), Morata
No full textThis is a book review that is key in the academic and thought trajectory of the author Ángel I. Pérez Gómez. "La cultura escolar en la sociedad neoliberal", published by the prestigious Madrid publishing house Morata in 1998, deals with the school as a crossroads of cultures. The book has great theoretical density, with philosophical, epistemological, historical, anthropological, psychological and pedagogical reflections. The author of the review narrates the events that made this text become a leading book for reflection and questioning of pedagogy.Se presenta la reseña de un libro que es clave en la trayectoria académica y de pensamiento del autor Ángel I. Pérez Gómez. “La cultura escolar en la sociedad neoliberal”, publicado por la prestigiosa editorial madrileña Morata en el año 1998, aborda la escuela como encrucijada de culturas. El libro tiene gran densidad teórica, con reflexiones filosóficas, epistemológicas, históricas, antropológicas, psicológicas y pedagógicas. A través del recorrido que hace la autora de la reseña, se narran los acontecimientos que hicieron que este texto se convirtiera en un libro de cabecera para la reflexión y el cuestionamiento de la pedagogía.
 
Hvem skal styre oss nå?
No full textUtgangspunktet for denne studien er hvordan lærere og elever opplevde den skolevirkeligheten som oppstod da skolene stengte 12. mars som følge av koronapandemien. Forskningsspørsmålene som blir aktualisert er hvordan den digitale kommunikasjonen mellom lærere og elever opplevdes, og hvorvidt pandemiperioden har bidratt til en endret forståelse av læreroppdraget. Teorirammen er inspirert av Jürgen Habermas, Manuel Castells og Göran Ahrne. Her vektlegges kommunikasjonsteori, teknologi- og informasjonssamfunnet og organisasjonsteori, der sistnevnte har særlig vekt på sosiale bånd. Forskningsspørsmålene undersøkes gjennom kvalitative fokusgruppeintervjuer med lærere og elever på ungdomsskoler i Midt- og Øst-Norge. Resultatene viser at elever hadde større vanskeligheter med å følge den digitale undervisningen og med å unngå distraksjoner, og at de opplevde at de lærte mindre. For lærerne var det utfordrende å opprette kontakt og å engasjere elevene digitalt, og deres arbeidsbyrde økte. Implikasjoner av studien viser at verken kommunikasjonsteori eller det vi legger i lærernes oppdrag kan ses uavhengig av skolen som organisasjon eller kravene som ligger der, med særlig vekt på viktigheten av å bygge relasjoner
