Accessing the Future
Wie nehmen Kinder ihre Beteiligungsrechte in Umweltfragen wahr? Die vorliegende partizipative Studie gibt Einblicke in die Rechtsverständnisse von Kindern, die sich für die Umwelt engagieren. Verschiedene Vorstellungen von Kindern in Bezug auf ihr Recht auf eine gesunde Umwelt werden analysiert und Herausforderungen in der politischen Teilhabe in Umweltfragen von jungen Menschen aufgezeigt. How do children perceive access and participation rights in environmental matters? The study presented in this book aims to broaden the discourse on political participation in environmental issues to include the perspectives of children and young people. As part of a participatory qualitative study, six interviews were conducted with young activists to explore their perspectives on their rights in environmental matters. The theoretical framework of the study is the concept of 'Living Rights'. Different dimensions of children's understanding of rights in relation to a healthy environment are analyzed, and challenges that children encounter when invoking their rights to access and participation are revealed.
Bildungsbiografien trans*geschlechtlicher Jugendlicher
Diese Studie befasst sich mit den Lebenswelten trans*geschlechtlicher Kinder und Jugendlicher. Mittels eines rekonstruktiven Zugangs findet sie ihren Ausgangspunkt in den Erzählungen junger trans*geschlechtlicher Menschen, um so Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich ihrer spezifischen Lebenssituation zu gewinnen. Ihre Bildungsbiografien bilden die Grundlage der qualitativen Erhebung, anhand der die Autorin der Frage nachgeht, inwieweit die cis-normative Gesellschaft die Lebenswege trans*geschlechtlicher Kinder und Jugendlicher beeinflusst. Den diversen Herausforderungen junger trans*Menschen – zwischen Selbstfindung, Coming-Out und Transition – stellt Thomack die rechtliche Situation in der Bundesrepublik gegenüber: Die Notwendigkeit von Reformen in der juristischen wie medizinischen Handhabe werden dargestellt und durch Handlungsempfehlungen an Gesellschaft und Politik ergänzt. In dieser Form erschließt die vorliegende Arbeit nicht nur ein bisher wenig bearbeitetes Forschungsfeld, sondern bringt sich zugleich engagiert in die Debatte für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben von trans*geschlechtlichen Kindern und Jugendlichen ein.
Thema: Globale Krisen
Globale Krisen sind für die politische Jugend- und Erwachsenenbildung ein zentrales Thema. An den Konzepten des Anthropozän, der Nicht-Nachhaltigkeit und der imperialen Lebensweise zeigen die Beiträge dieser Ausgabe die Komplexität der Problemlagen auf und unterstreichen die Herausforderungen für die Gestaltung von Bildungsprozessen. Wie können abstrakte Fragestellungen oder Themen wie globale Gerechtigkeit, die Hintergründe von Migrationsbewegungen, die Ambivalenzen der Digitalisierung sowie der Globalisierung in Angeboten der politischen Bildung angemessen und für die Teilnehmenden nachvollziehbar bearbeitet werden? Kann politische Bildung zur Bewältigung globaler Krisen überhaup...
Down Home Dairyland
Drawing on decades of research, folklorists Jim Leary and Richard March have distilled a definitive presentation of Upper Midwestern traditional and ethnic music, from Ojibwa drums to Norwegian fiddles, from polka to salsa, from gospel choirs to southeast Asian rock bands. The book Down Home Dairyland: A Listener’s Guide provides a wonderful overview of Wisconsin’s musical heritage through forty essays, fifty-seven photographs, plus a rich discography and bibliography. Both the cassette and the music CD sets provide samplings from the Down Home Dairyland series of forty half-hour radio programs on Wisconsin Public Radio. These audio collections include interviews with traditional musicians, sample sound recordings, and discussion of the patterns of musical styles in the region. Distributed for the Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures, University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Mirror Symmetry
This thorough and detailed exposition is the result of an intensive month-long course on mirror symmetry sponsored by the Clay Mathematics Institute. It develops mirror symmetry from both mathematical and physical perspectives with the aim of furthering interaction between the two fields. The material will be particularly useful for mathematicians and physicists who wish to advance their understanding across both disciplines. Mirror symmetry is a phenomenon arising in string theory in which two very different manifolds give rise to equivalent physics. Such a correspondence has significant mathematical consequences, the most familiar of which involves the enumeration of holomorphic curves ins...
Foundations and Applications of Statistics
Foundations and Applications of Statistics simultaneously emphasizes both the foundational and the computational aspects of modern statistics. Engaging and accessible, this book is useful to undergraduate students with a wide range of backgrounds and career goals. The exposition immediately begins with statistics, presenting concepts and results from probability along the way. Hypothesis testing is introduced very early, and the motivation for several probability distributions comes from p-value computations. Pruim develops the students' practical statistical reasoning through explicit examples and through numerical and graphical summaries of data that allow intuitive inferences before intro...
Mean Field Games
This volume is based on lectures delivered at the 2020 AMS Short Course “Mean Field Games: Agent Based Models to Nash Equilibria,” held January 13–14, 2020, in Denver, Colorado. Mean field game theory offers a robust methodology for studying large systems of interacting rational agents. It has been extraordinarily successful and has continued to develop since its inception. The six chapters that make up this volume provide an overview of the subject, from the foundations of the theory to applications in economics and finance, including computational aspects. The reader will find a pedagogical introduction to the main ingredients, from the forward-backward mean field game system to the master equation. Also included are two detailed chapters on the connection between finite games and mean field games, with a pedestrian description of the different methods available to solve the convergence problem. The volume concludes with two contributions on applications of mean field games and on existing numerical methods, with an opening to machine learning techniques.
Dynamical Systems and Applications
World Scientific series in Applicable Analysis (WSSIAA) aims at reporting new developments of high mathematical standard and current interest. Each volume in the series shall be devoted to the mathematical analysis that has been applied or potentially applicable to the solutions of scientific, engineering, and social problems. For the past twenty five years, there has been an explosion of interest in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. Mathematical techniques developed during this period have been applied to important nonlinear problems ranging from physics and chemistry to ecology and economics. All these developments have made dynamical systems theory an important and attractive bran...
Topics in Topological Graph Theory
The use of topological ideas to explore various aspects of graph theory, and vice versa, is a fruitful area of research. There are links with other areas of mathematics, such as design theory and geometry, and increasingly with such areas as computer networks where symmetry is an important feature. Other books cover portions of the material here, but there are no other books with such a wide scope. This book contains fifteen expository chapters written by acknowledged international experts in the field. Their well-written contributions have been carefully edited to enhance readability and to standardize the chapter structure, terminology and notation throughout the book. To help the reader, there is an extensive introductory chapter that covers the basic background material in graph theory and the topology of surfaces. Each chapter concludes with an extensive list of references.
