Hyperouders, verwende kinderen?
No full textIs hyperparenting een verschijnsel waar we ons zorgen over moeten maken? Of zijn de ouders die kosten noch moeite sparen om hun kinderen alles te geven en alle obstakels die ze op hun levenspad tegenkomen uit de weg te ruimen, een typisch Amerikaans verschijnsel waar de Nederlandse ouder te nuchter voor is? Bas Levering en Stefan Ramaekers zetten een aantal analyses van de overbezorgde ouder op een rij en proberen het fenomeen in de tijd te plaatsen. Is vooral het verwennen van adolescenten een probleem?status: Publishe

Burgerschapsvorming en nationale identiteit
No full textAbstract
Citizenship Education and National Identity
On February 7, 2107, the Dutch minister and the state secretary of education sent a letter to the parliament about their proposed measures to improve citizenship education in primary and secondary schools. A new element in their plans was the concern for ‘national identity’. The main question this article raises is ‘Is it possible to promote national identity without promoting chauvinism? To answer the question the author first goes back to the three essays he wrote in the nineties when he noticed a new rise of nationalism in Europe. The central question of those essays was if people can do without a nation, in the words of Jean Améry: ‘How much “Heimat” does a human being need?’ Secondly the author summarizes a recent analysis of nationalism and xenophobia the 2017 parliamentary election campaign of six political parties to illustrate that the call for an emphasis on ‘national identity’ is quite common nowadays. His conclusion is however that ‘national identity’ should not be considered as a basic element of citizenship education. (Dutch) national identity does not exist, as de Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regerngsbeleid (Scientific Council for Governmental Policy) concluded in a report in 2007, and all available elaborations of the concept exclude groups of people on beforehand.</jats:p
Concept Analysis as Empirical Method
No full textAlthough there is not much support anymore for a clear cut distinction between object-language and meta-language, the view is generally accepted that the outcomes of concept analysis concern knowledge of the structures of language and not knowledge of reality. So it is rather risky to present concept analysis as an empirical method. Rules about language use, however, play an important part in what people do and how they behave and thus inform about specific parts of social reality. The so-called ‘thick concepts’ provide a special access to the way people interact. In this article, several examples of the analysis of ‘thick concepts’ are presented. In some cases, outcomes of concept analysis turn out to be strictly language and cultural bound; in other cases, conceptual knowledge appears to transcend those boundaries. The fact that empirical research is often nothing else than a form of language analysis calls for a tuning of conceptual-analytic and empirical research

Bas-Relief Modeling from Normal Layers
No full textBas-relief is characterized by its unique presentation of intrinsic shape properties and/or detailed appearance using materials raised up in different degrees above a background. However, many bas-relief modeling methods could not manipulate scene details well. We propose a simple and effective solution for two kinds of bas-relief modeling (i.e., structure-preserving and detail-preserving), which is different from the prior tone mapping alike methods. Our idea originates from an observation on typical 3D models which are decomposed into a piecewise smooth base layer and a detail layer in normal field. Proper manipulation of the two layers contributes to both structure-preserving and detail-preserving bas-relief modeling. We solve the modeling problem in a discrete geometry processing setup that uses normal-based mesh processing as a theoretical foundation. Specifically, using the two-step mesh smoothing mechanism as a bridge, we transfer the bas-relief modeling problem into a discrete space, and solve it in a least-squares manner. Experiments and comparisons to other methods show that (i) geometry details are better preserved in the scenario with high compression ratios, and (ii) structures are clearly preserved without shape distortion and interference from details.Accepted author manuscriptMaterials and Manufacturin
Dyslexie, 'andere' leesproblemen en andersdenkenden
No full textOm tot aanbevelingen te komen ter verbetering van het inzicht in en de aanpak van leesproblemen en dyslexie neem ik eerst een aantal ontwikkelingen rond het begrip dyslexie in eigen land onder de loep.
