A Framework for Character Education in Schools

“Rakstura audzināšanas ietvars skolām” izskaidro, kas ir rakstura audzināšana un kāpēc tā ir svarīga. Ietvars aicina visas skolas skaidri norādīt, kā tās sekmē skolēnu rakstura attīstību. Tas ietver ‘Rakstura sastāvdaļas’: intelektuālos, morālos, pilsoniskos un darbības tikumus, kas darbojas kopā, lai attīstītu ‘praktiskās gudrības’ meta-tikumu. Tas ietver arī “Morālās attīstīšanas neoaristotelisko modeli”, kas attēlo iespējamos ceļus uz tikumisko dzīvi, izceļot agrīnas audzināšanas ģimenē nozīmi. Ietvars skolu apsvēršanai piedāvā rakstura audzināšanas perspektīvu, nevis gatavu rakstura audzināšanas projektu. Kaut arī tā ir izstrādāta skolu un skolotāju valodā, tā ir elastīga un piemērojama visiem cilvēkiem, organizācijām un institūcijām, kas cenšas noskaidrot savu attieksmi pret rakstura attīstību.Projekts finansēts no ERAF.

雑誌『台湾愛国婦人』の性格 : プロパガンダ、そして近代文学発生の場として

The magazine “Taiwan Aikoku Fujin” was published in Taiwan from 1908 to 1916. It was Taiwan of the early period of the Japanese rule. At first, This magazine played a role as the propaganda of the policy of the Japanese Government. But，In the most close，the magazine carried new modern literature written by Japanese who lived in Taiwan. This magazine is the precious document to know the early policy of the Japanese rule and to know the thought of the living-in-Taiwan Japanese in that time，so the collection of document is an urgent problem

Wigner's DD-matrix elements for SU(3)SU(3) - A Generating Function Approach

The Return of Character: Parallels Between Late-Victorian and Twenty-First Century Discourses

There has been an increasingly common trend in the UK to identify character skills and traits as the basis for various individual successes and achievements. In education policy and employment services, character has been linked to the making of successful, morally aware, employable and socially mobile citizens. This article explores the late-nineteenth century use of character discourses, focusing on the economist Alfred Marshall. During this period character was associated with future-oriented subjects – those displaying provident and thrifty habits and dispositions – and held particular class, race and gender prejudices. The article draws parallels between this late-Victorian approach to character and the ‘return’ of character in twenty-first century education and welfare-to-work policy, in particular where cultivating character is linked to improving employability and social mobility. We can make productive comparisons between character’s Victorian legacy and its reemergence more recently amid increasingly moralized discourses around poverty, inequality and unemployment. In doing so, we might better understand the historical antecedents to stigmatizing character discourses today, insofar as they leave the burden of responsibility for particular social outcomes in life and the labour market with individuals and their ability to cultivate their own human capital

Systemic Inflammation in Preclinical Ulcerative Colitis

Background & Aims: Preclinical ulcerative colitis is poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the preclinical systemic inflammation in ulcerative colitis, using a comprehensive set of proteins. Methods: We obtained plasma samples biobanked from individuals who developed ulcerative colitis later in life (n = 72) and matched healthy controls (n = 140) within a population-based screening cohort. We measured 92 proteins related to inflammation using a proximity extension assay. The biologic relevance of these findings was validated in an inception cohort of patients with ulcerative colitis (n = 101) and healthy controls (n = 50). To examine the influence of genetic and environmental factors on these markers, a cohort of healthy twin siblings of patients with ulcerative colitis (n = 41) and matched healthy controls (n = 37) were explored. Results: Six proteins (MMP10, CXCL9, CCL11, SLAMF1, CXCL11 and MCP-1) were up-regulated (P < .05) in preclinical ulcerative colitis compared with controls based on both univariate and multivariable models. Ingenuity Pathway Analyses identified several potential key regulators, including interleukin-1ß, tumor necrosis factor, interferon-gamma, oncostatin M, nuclear factor-¿B, interleukin-6, and interleukin-4. For validation, we built a multivariable model to predict disease in the inception cohort. The model discriminated treatment-naïve patients with ulcerative colitis from controls with leave-one-out cross-validation (area under the curve = 0.92). Consistently, MMP10, CXCL9, CXCL11, and MCP-1, but not CCL11 and SLAMF1, were significantly up-regulated among the healthy twin siblings, even though their relative abundances seemed higher in incident ulcerative colitis. Conclusions: A set of inflammatory proteins are up-regulated several years before a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. These proteins were highly predictive of an ulcerative colitis diagnosis, and some seemed to be up-regulated already at exposure to genetic and environmental risk factors. © 2021 The Author
