Annuario Scienza Tecnologia e Società 2023
No full textTutte le informazioni e i dati più aggiornati per comprendere meglio il rapporto tra scienza e società
I cambiamenti climatici sono un’emergenza globale con manifestazioni sempre più frequenti anche in Italia. Inoltre, la recente destabilizzazione degli equilibri internazionali ha acuito il dibattito sulle fonti di approvvigionamento energetico. è noto come i combustibili fossili siano una delle principali cause del riscaldamento globale, ma è difficile rinunciare al loro impiego, almeno nel breve periodo. Com’è percepito il cambiamento climatico dagli italiani e chi sono gli interlocutori considerati più affidabili per contrastarlo? Quali sono le opinioni sulle energie rinnovabili e l'energia nucleare? Cosa farebbero gli italiani per ridurre l’inquinamento e il traffico delle città? L’Annuario Scienza Tecnologia e Società 2023 si caratterizza per la particolare attenzione riservata al tema della transizione ecologica e propone, in forma sintetica e accessibile, una raccolta aggiornata di dati nazionali e internazionali utili a tracciare le principali tendenze nel rapporto tra scienza, tecnologia e opinione pubblica in Italia. La diciannovesima edizione offre anche un’inedita comparazione con la Germania, proponendo un confronto con una delle principali realtà europee. Il testo è inoltre corredato da un inserto di infografiche a colori che sintetizzano i dati più rilevanti
Rubin, idila i Trijumf - nove kasnostasne NS-sorte soje
Get PDFNew late soybean cultivars Rubin, Idila and Trijumf have been developed at Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, by crossing domestic and American genotypes. They differ in morphological characteristics, requirements for growing conditions and the technological quality of grain. The cultivars Rubin and Trijumf are indeterminate, and Idila the determinate growth type. The newly approved cultivars have a high yield potential. Also, Rubin and Trijumf exhibit a high level of adaptability and achieve stable yields in different agroecological conditions. The cultivar Idila requires favorable conditions for realization of high yield potential. It is recommended for growing in humid regions, on fertile soils or in fields with irrigation facilities. Taking in account its length of growing season, the optimal sowing date is the first 10 days of April, using about 400,000 of viable seeds per hectare. The cultivar Rubin has best chemical composition of grain, with balanced contents of proteins and oil. Idila has a slightly lower content of both components than Rubin, while Trijumf is a typical high oil genotype. Owing to favorable chemical composition and organoleptic characteristics, the grain of the new cultivars is an excellent raw material for preparation of articles for human consumption. The cultivar Idila is most suitable for this purpose.Nove kasnostasne sorte soje Rubin, Idila i Trijumf stvorene su u Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, ukrštanjem domaćih i američkih genotipova. Međusobno se razlikuju u morfološkim karakteristikama, zahtevima prema uslovima gajenja i tehnološkom kvalitetu zrna. Sorte Rubin i Trijumf su indeterminantnog (nezavršenog), a Idila determinantnog (završenog) tipa rasta. Novopriznate sorte imaju visok potencijal rodnosti, stim što Rubin i Trijumf ispoljavaju visok nivo adaptabilnosti i ostvaruju stabilne prinose pri različitim agroekološkim uslovima. Za realizaciju visokog potencijala rodnosti sorta Idila zahteva povoljne uslove. Preporučuje se njeno širenje u humidnijim regionima, na plodnijim zemljištima, ili uz primenu navodnjavanja. Imajući u vidu dužinu vegetacije, optimalni rok setve je prva dekada aprila, sa oko 400.000 klijavih zrna po hektaru. Najpovoljnijim hemijskim sastavom zrna odlikuje se sorta Rubin, sa dobro izbalansiranim sadržajem proteina i ulja. Idila ima neznatno niži sadržaj obe komponente od Rubina, dok je Trijumf izrazito uljani genotip. Zahvaljujući povoljnom hemijskom sastavu i organoleptičkim osobinama, seme novih sorti je odlična sirovina za spravljanje proizvoda za ishranu ljudi. Za ovu namenu najpogodnija je sorta Idila
Rubin, Jon: Moscone being forgotten
No full textJon Rubin: I think that George has been forgotten. There are some stories that are easier to tell. Sometimes you tell the easy story, and the more nuanced story is lost. And George was an important and notable figure, and notable and wonderful guy, and he needs to be remembered for who he was. The tragedy of the end of his life should not define his life; that’s just the end of his life. It’s a tragedy, and there’s no question about it, but I think the lessons of his life are more important than the lessons of his death. And so whatever part I can take in telling that story and making sure that it’s out there to whatever extent it is out there… It’s a privilege to do it, it’s an honor, it’s a labor of love, and I’m delighted to be doin’ it

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
Reflections on the Undergraduate Research Experience of Three Former NCAA Division I Athletes
Get PDFUndergraduate research (UR) opportunities are important for college students to engage in areas of interest, gain valuable skills, and contribute to their learning outside of the classroom (Mahatmya et al., 2017). There have been a few studies on college athletes engaged in high impact practices (HIPs) like study abroad programs (Navarro et al., 2020), first-year seminars (Grafnetterova et al., 2020), and learning communities (Mamerow & Navarro, 2014). However, little has been studied on athletes’ engagement in UR (also a HIP). While athletes may not be a large percentage of an institution’s student population, they are more visible in the campus community. College athletes face time constraints, balancing two full-time roles of student and athlete, often with limited time remaining to devote to extracurricular activities (Ishaq & Bass, 2019; Rubin & Moses, 2017). They also endure negative stereotypes, seen as outsiders by the student body and faculty, isolating themselves from campus involvement (Rubin & Moses, 2017; Simons et al., 2020). These stereotypes include the idea of the “dumb jock,” in which athletes are incapable of handling collegelevel work and require additional support to pass classes (Simons et al., 2007). Many campuses offer academic support in facilities designated specifically for athletes, beyond the typically weekday work hours (Rubin & Moses, 2017). Besides attending classes on campus, athletes spend most of their time in athletic facilities for meals, workouts, tutoring, and practices. In classes, they are more likely to sit with other athletes who understand their schedule and lifestyle (Rubin & Moses, 2017). Their rigid schedules might prohibit them from exploring student organizations or UR. Because of this, engaging athletes in UR is not as easy or obvious for faculty as it may be with other students. Yet, Gaston-Gayles and Hu (2009) discovered that athletes who engage in educationally purposeful activities, including faculty interaction and collaborative learning, improve in cognitive and academic outcomes. Since athletes’ college experience may differ significantly from that of other students, it is important to learn from former athletes’ participation in UR
