Imagineering Elementary Social Studies: Pre-Service Teachers’ Curricular Experiences with Walt Disney’s EPCOT
No full textThis presentation shares qualitative research on how elementary pre-service teachers’ social science literacies and curricular experiences have been constructed, influenced, and informed by popular-culture, bounded ritual spaces (Moore, 1980), such as Walt Disney World’s EPCOT. Implications for pre-service teacher reflection, elementary social studies education, and critical pedagogy are discussed

Meier Shfeyah signing ceremony
No full textThe Meir Shfeyah Youth Village was founded following World War One as an orphanage for girls. Boys were accepted shortly thereafter. Located in the Jewish colony of Meir Shfeyah, near Zikron Ya’akov, the facility was situated on the site of previous youth facilities. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, or JDC, funded the orphanage through its Palestine Orphan Committee until 1925 when Junior Hadassah, a division of Hadassah for young, unmarried women, took over the responsibility after several years of supporting individual orphans. Meir Shfeyah Youth Village, alternately known as Meir Shfeyah Children's Village, became Junior Hadassah’s largest fundraising project. Junior Hadassah financed the institution’s expenses for three decades until turning over primary responsibility to the State of Israel’s Department of Agriculture in 1958. Although Junior Hadassah merged with other Hadassah divisions in 1967, Hadassah continued to provide support to the Meir Shfeyah Youth Village, which still exists today as a residential, comprehensive high school with an agricultural focus.Hadassah National President Miriam Freund signing a contract for the shikun [housing] at Meier ShfeyahDigital imageDigital finding aid
Max Weber et l’Antiquité
No full textCette contribution est la traduction française d’un article publié en 1988 par Christian Meier, intitulé « Max Weber und die Antike ». L’auteur se propose d’évaluer l’apport des travaux de Max Weber dans le domaine de l’histoire ancienne et des sciences de l’Antiquité. Après avoir interrogé la place accordée à l’Antiquité dans l’œuvre du savant allemand, depuis son habilitation sur L’histoire agraire romaine (1891) jusqu’à son essai sur La Ville (rédigé entre 1911 et 1914, publié en 1921), Christian Meier souligne l’originalité de la démarche historienne de Weber, centrée sur la question de la spécificité de la civilisation gréco-romaine au sein de l’histoire universelle. Il montre comment les recherches de Weber dans ce domaine, fondées à la fois sur l’analyse croisée de facteurs concrets et la mise en œuvre d’une approche comparatiste, constituent le point de départ d’une théorie globale de la société antique. C’est en cela que réside, selon Christian Meier, toute l’actualité de l’œuvre de Weber, que l’on peut compter parmi les historiens de l’Antiquité de premier plan.This contribution is the French translation of an article published in 1988 by Christian Meier, entitled “Max Weber und die Antike”. The author aims at evaluating the contribution of Max Weber’s work to classical studies and ancient history. Christian Meier underlines the importance of Antiquity within the German scholar’s writings, from the habilitation thesis on Roman Agrarian History (1891) to the essay on The City (composed between 1911 and 1914, published in 1921). He also emphasises the originality of Weber’s historical approach, centred on the specificity of Graeco-Roman civilisation within universal history. Christian Meier shows how Weber’s research on this issue, by combining the cross-analysis of concrete factors with a comparatist perspective, provides a sound basis for a global theory of ancient society. Therein lies, according to Christian Meier, the current relevance of Weber’s work as a major ancient historian
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Color processing in zebrafish retina

Processing in Zebrafish Retina.
Front. Cell. Neurosci. 12:327.
doi: 10.3389/fncel.2018.00327Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a model organism for vertebrate developmental processes
and, through a variety of mutant and transgenic lines, various diseases and their
complications. Some of these diseases relate to proper function of the visual system.
In the US, the National Eye Institute indicates >140 million people over the age of
40 have some form of visual impairment. The causes of the impairments range from
refractive error to cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, plus heritable diseases
such as retinitis pigmentosa and color vision deficits. Most impairments directly affect the
retina, the nervous tissue at the back of the eye. Zebrafish with long or short-wavelength
color blindness, altered retinal anatomy due to hyperglycemia, high intraocular pressure,
and reduced pigment epithelium are all used, and directly applicable, to study how
these symptoms affect visual function. However, many published reports describe only
molecular/anatomical/structural changes or behavioral deficits. Recent work in zebrafish
has documented physiological responses of the different cell types to colored (spectral)
light stimuli, indicating a complex level of information processing and color vision in this
species. The purpose of this review article is to consolidate published morphological
and physiological data from different cells to describe how zebrafish retina is capable of
complex visual processing. This information is compared to findings in other vertebrates
and relevance to disorders affecting color processing is discussed
Latino politics: identity, mobilization, and representation
No full textDue to the dramatic growth of the Latino population in America, in combination with the relative decline of the Anglo (non-Hispanic white) share, Latino Studies is increasingly at the forefront of political concern. With Latino Politics: Identity, Mobilization, and Representation, editors Rodolfo Espino, David L. Leal, and Kenneth J. Meier bring together essays from a number of leading scholars to address the ever-more important issues within the field. Providing an overview of issues surrounding Latino identity and political opinion—such as differences among Latino groups based on national origin, the importance of descriptive representation, and issues of competition and cooperation, particularly with reference to African Americans—the editors speak to the many fundamental debates ingrained in the discipline.
In addition to highlighting important contributions of the study of Latino politics to date, this volume suggests areas that have yet to be explored and, perhaps more importantly, demonstrates how the study of Latino politics relates to broader questions of American politics and society. Foregrounding debates in the overall discipline of political science, the collection will appeal to those who study Latino politics as well as those who are interested in understanding American politics and society with reference to Latino and "minority" concerns
Rezension: "Besuch in der Hölle. Dantes Göttliche Komödie. Biographie eines Jahrtausendbuchs" von Franziska Meier
No full textFranziska Meiers vorliegende Studie stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Erforschung von Dantes Divina Commedia dar. In ihrer Untersuchung erläutert sie nicht nur die grundlegenden Kontexte der Entstehungsgeschichte und die Biografie des schon zu Lebzeiten umstrittenen Verfassers. Vielmehr gelingt es Meier, auch linguistische Aspekte, Fragen der Übersetzung und der Rezeption außerhalb Europas schlüssig darzustellen. Die Autorin und Übersetzerin Lorena Pircher, selbst auch Romanistin, hat diese Studie für die Medienimpulse rezensiert.Franziska Meier\u27s study represents an important contribution to current scholarly research on Dante\u27s Divina Commedia. In her new book, she not only explains the fundamental contexts of the genesis of the Commedia and biography of the author, who was already controversial during his lifetime. Rather, Meier also succeeds in coherently presenting linguistic aspects, questions of translation and reception outside Europe. The author and translator Lorena Pircher, herself also a Romance scholar, reviewed this study for Medienimpulse
