Alfie Kohn, National Speaker and Author on Education - Students as the Center of Gravity
No full textThis week\u27s Podcast feature Alfie Kohn, national speaker and author of 14 books, and scores of articles, on human behavior, management, and education.
Alfie discusses the inspiration for his books including, No Contest and Punished by Rewards, the divergent thoughts surrounding the history of education in the 20th century, and his views on standardized testing and homework.
Alfie explains how, as a contrarian with a practice of finding issues where logic and research points in one direction and practices move in a different direction, he started thinking and writing about competition. He began debunking the common notion that competition is inevitable because it\u27s just part of human nature .
Next Alfie discusses the different philosophies on education in the early 20th century. As one side supported the experience of the student as the center of gravity , the other focused on rules, curriculum, numbers and behaviors - things outside the classroom that can be measured.
Alfie tells us how standardized testing has undermined education, even when test scores go up, and how much time has been taken away from real learning to teach kids how to be good at taking tests.
Lastly, Alfie shares what he will be talking about on November 8th, at The First Annual Deming in Education Conference in Seattle.https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/deming_podcast/1021/thumbnail.jp

Teaching with Melvin Kohn
No full textMelvin L. Kohn is the author of well-known theory on the relationship between social class, work and personality, supported by sophisticated cross-national research. Kohn’s theory and research make a good example for the sociologists of how sociology should be done and cultivated. Here they are evaluated from the educational perspective
Kohn Anomaly and Phase Stability in Group VB Transition Metals
No full textIn the periodic table, only a few pure metals exhibit lattice or magnetic instabilities associated with Fermi surface nesting, the classical examples being α-U and Cr. Whereas α-U displays a strong Kohn anomaly in the phonon spectrum that ultimately leads to the formation of charge density waves (CDWs), Cr is known for its nesting-induced spin density waves (SDWs). Recently, it has become clear that a pronounced Kohn anomaly and the corresponding softening in the elastic constants is also the key factor that controls structural transformations and mechanical properties in compressed group VB metals—materials with relatively high superconducting critical temperatures. This article reviews the current understanding of the structural and mechanical behavior of these metals under pressure with an introduction to the concept of the Kohn anomaly and how it is related to the important concept of Peierls instability. We review both experimental and theoretical results showing different manifestations of the Kohn anomaly in the transverse acoustic phonon mode TA (ξ00) in V, Nb, and Ta. Specifically, in V the anomaly triggers a structural transition to a rhombohedral phase, whereas in Nb and Ta it leads to an anomalous reduction in yield strength
Picture from the rural life of Polish Jews
No full textU priči "Sličica iz seoskog života poljskih Židova" rabin dr Izrael Kohn opisuje jedno selo u Poljskoj 1914. godine koje imenuje kao B. Preko konkretnih opisa poznatih porodica, značajnih, uspešnih i skromnih i običnih stanovnika, tradicije i praznika, autor oslikava celokupan život poljskih Jevreja koji su živeli u ruralnoj sredini.In the story "A picture from the rural life of Polish Jews", Rabbi Dr. Israel Kohn describes a village in Poland in 1914, which he names B. Through concrete descriptions of famous families, significant, successful, and modest, and ordinary inhabitants, traditions, and holidays, the author presents the whole life of Polish Jews who lived in a rural environment.Izrael Kohn (1885-1941) došao je u Kraljevinu SHS iz Poljske kao školovani rabin sa doktoratom. Službovao je u koprivnici od 1924. do 1941. godine. U braku sa Linom rođ. Breier imao je tri kćeri - Fridu, Genu i kćerku nepoznatog imena, i sina Marka. Cela porodica je, sa ostalim koprivničkim Jevrejima, odvedena u noći između 23 i 24. jula 1941. godine u logor Gospić. Otac i sin stradali su u logoru Jasenovac, a ženski deo porodice u Aušvicu.Israel Kohn (1885-1941) came to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from Poland as an educated rabbi with a doctorate. He served in Koprivnica from 1924 to 1941. Married to Lina, born Breier had three daughters - Frida, Gena and a daughter of unknown name, and a son Mark. The whole family, together with other Jews from Koprivnica, were taken to the Gospić camp on the night between July 23 and 24, 1941. The father and son died in the Jasenovac camp and the female part of the family in Auschwitz
Je rêvais aussi en quelque sorte comme la forêt
No full textDans cet entretien inédit, l’anthropologue Eduardo Kohn, auteur de Comment pensent les forêts, revient sur le rôle que le rêve a joué dans l’élaboration de ce qu’il a appelé « l’anthropologie au-delà de l’humain » et du projet qu’il mène actuellement sur le psychédélisme. Il y aborde notamment la place qu’ont tenue les rêves – les siens et ceux de ses hôtes – dans son enquête de terrain, dans son enseignement universitaire et dans ses réflexions éthiques et politiques.In this previously unpublished interview, the anthropologist Eduardo Kohn, author of How Forests Think, looks back at the role that dreams have played in the development of what he has called “the anthropology beyond the human” and his current project on psychedelics. In particular, he discusses the role that dreams―his own and those of his hosts―have played in his fieldwork, in his university teaching, and in his ethical and political reflections

No full textIn this short paper, we establish a range of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg and weighted Lp-Sobolev type inequalities on stratified Lie groups. All inequalities are obtained with sharp constants. Moreover, the equivalence of the Sobolev type inequality and Hardy inequality is shown in the L2-case. © 2017, The Author(s)
Versuch, sich dem Werk Ivan Illichs aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu nähern : ein Beitrag zur pädagogischen Ideen- und Wirkungsgeschichte einer radikalen Gesellschaftskritik
No full textDie Person, deren Leben und Werk ich mich in dieser Arbeit zu nähern versuche, kann auch dreißig Jahre nach Erscheinen ihres institutikonenkritischen Werkes "Entschulung der Gesellschaft" in Deutschland 1972 noch immer als vergleichsweise rätselhaft bezeichnet werden. Ältester Sohn einer zum Protestantismus übergetretenen Jüdin und eines katholischen Kroaten aus Split an der Küste Dalmatiens, die Ehe steht unter keinem guten Stern. Der Nationalsozialismus hält in Wien Einzug, die Mutter flieht mit den drei Kindern nach Florenz. Weitere Einzelheiten aus der Kindheit, der Situation der Familie und vor allem zu den Schulerfahrungen, die tragfähig wären, waren nicht bekannt. Ivan Illich wurde Priester, er wirkte in New York und Puerto Rico, wurde später Leiter eines Zentrums für Sprachlernen in Cuernavaca/Mexiko mit dem Namen CIDOC. Fotos zeigen einen entschlossen wirkenden, hageren Mann mit aristokratischen Zügen. Illich forderte unter anderem dazu auf, das Bildungswesen, so wie es war, aufzulösen und radikal neu zu organisieren. Sein Buch über die Entschulung wurde ein Bestseller, immerhin ein Sachbuch, verkaufte es sich in sechs Auflagen von 1973 bis 1981. ..
Joint functional calculi and a sharp multiplier theorem for the Kohn Laplacian on spheres
No full textLet b be the Kohn Laplacian acting on (0; j)-forms on the unit sphere in Cn. In a recent paper of Casarino, Cowling, Sikora and the author, aspectral multiplier theorem of Mihlin{Hormander type for b is proved in the case 0 < j < n &#x100000; 1. Here we prove an analogous theorem in the exceptionalcases j = 0 and j = n &#x100000; 1, including a weak type (1; 1) endpoint estimate. We also show that both theorems are sharp. The proof hinges on an abstractmultivariate multiplier theorem for systems of commuting operators.<br/
