Intercultural early childhood teacher education: Diversity and inclusion in global and local contexts
No full textDiversity in the Early Years: Intercultural Learning and Teaching
No full text"New global contexts are presenting new challenges and new possibilities for young children and those around them. Climate change, armed conflict and poverty combine with new frontiers of discovery in science and technology to create a paradoxical picture of both threat and opportunity for our world and our children. On the one hand, children are experiencing unprecedented patterns of disparity and inequity; yet, on the other hand, they have seemingly limitless possibilities to engage with new technologies and social processes. Seismic shifts such as these are inviting new questions about the conditions that young children need to learn and thrive. \ud

Diversity in the Early Years: Intercultural Learning and Teaching explores significant aspects of working with children and adults from diverse backgrounds. It is a valuable resource for teaching early childhood pre-service teachers to raise awareness about issues of diversity - whether diversity of culture, language, education and/or gender - and for helping them to develop their own pedagogical approaches to working with diverse populations."--Publisher websit
Elementary school teachers' perspectives on history, 1920–1946
No full textIn this chapter Samuelsson looks at types of epistemic perspectives of history taught in Swedish elementary schools in 1920-1946. The material used consists of a large collection of 600 teachers’ descriptive accounts of teaching, as collected in 1946. The material provides a unique insight into teaching in the period, in part granting new perspectives on teaching. Even if the teachers had an objectivist perspective on history, Samuelsson argues that they also used a more constructivist perspective: Pupils worked with statistical yearbooks, collected historical artefacts and worked independently on various tasks. Samuelsson then relates these results to, among others, Klafki’s theory on teaching.</p
A Response to Honig and Samuelsson (2014)
No full textHonig and Samuelsson (2014) recently published an article in this outlet criticizing “Does business planning facilitate the development of new ventures? “ a paper I wrote with Scott Shane nearly 15 years ago. They claim that their effort adds to the discussion of (a) the merits of business planning, (b) data replication and extension, (c) sample selection bias, (d) evaluation of normative research and (e) publication standards. However, most of the claims they make are incorrect

Reworked acritarchs as provenance indicators in the Lower Palaeozoic of Denmark
No full textProfuse and well-preserved acritarchs were recovered from subsurface Lower Palaeozoic successions cored by the boreholes Slagelse-1 and Pernille-1 (Danish-North German Basin). Together with Llandovery in situ microphytoplankton, reworked Cambrian and Ordovician species occur. The reworked Ordovician acritarchs show a clear Perigondwanan palaeobiogeographic affinity and indicate elastic sedimentary input from a Perigondwanan-related terrane located south of the East European Platform. Microfloral similarity enables identification of the detrital source area with the Avalonia Terrane. The present data also suggest that development of a foreland basin marginal to the Caledonian Deformation Front in the Danish-North German Basin started in Early Silurian times
Load Modulation for Damping of Electro-Mechanical Oscillations
No full textToday it is feasible for utilities to control selected customer loads in a nondisturbing fashion. This is comparable to load shedding, but has a wider area of application. This paper focuses on direct load control or modulation for power system damping and is based on a field test of on-off control and modal analysis of differential-algebraic equation models of three test systems. Real power load controlled by bus frequency is found to be robust to changes in network topology. It is shown that on-off modulation is more effective than sinusoidal modulation for damping of large oscillations, but not for small oscillations. It proves difficult to give a general measure of the required amount of controlled load, since modulation of real power loads has an additive rather than multiplicative effect on power flows. Different structures of load control systems are listed. If the system is centralized, it is suggested that the distribution company owns and operates the system and that damping is sold as ancillary servic

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
