The Usual Suspect: A History of Football Violence in the State of Israel     

Amir Ben Porat 《Sport in History》2016,36(1):98-116

Rather than hooliganism per se, violence here is examined both in its totality and the extent to which the history of football violence in Israel has been subject to a fluctuating social, political and economic context. Initially, footballers were ‘the usual suspect’ as violence was often incited by the players on the pitch. For political reasons, the Israel Football Association (IFA) was practically helpless. Over time, violent incidents on the pitch decreased as a change in the pattern of violence took place. Due to an increasing commodification of Israeli football, players and spectators switched places. The crowd was now ‘the usual suspect’ and later, due to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, ethnicity-nationality became the major trigger for violent actions in Israeli football.  相似文献   

Identifying core competencies to advance female professors’ careers: an exploratory study in United States academia     

Ga-eun Seo  Amir Hedayati Mehdiabadi  Wenhao Huang 《Journal of Further & Higher Education》2017,41(6):741-759

This exploratory study aims to identify the core competencies necessary to successfully advance the careers of female associate professors in higher education. To ascertain these core career competencies, a critical incident interview technique was employed. One-to-one semi-structured interviews with six female full professors at a major research university in the Midwestern region of the United States were conducted. Based on participants’ career advancement experiences, the following competencies were identified: (1) making important connections, (2) fulfilling responsibilities in academia, (3) being politically savvy, (4) managing personal and professional obligations, (5) developing a sense of self-agency for one’s career, and (6) believing in one’s self in the work environment. The action-oriented findings of this research, rather than skill-based, can be easily adapted by faculty and institutions, both domestically and internationally, to improve current practices. These findings offer a unique contribution for improving the research and practice of career development among female faculty in higher education.  相似文献

Social and emotional problems associated with integration in the Israeli junior high school     

Yisrael Rich  Yehuda Amir  Rachel Ben-Ari 《Int J Intercult Relat》1981,5(3):259-275

Teachers and pupils in 28 integrated junior high schools in Israel were interviewed and observed to determine the kinds of social and emotional problems encountered in integrated schools. Though these schools are mandated to achieve both academic and social goals, academic aspects of schooling are inordinately stressed while the social goal is neglected. This strategy has major implications for teaching methods, curriculum, tracking, extra-curricular activities and staff morale. Furthermore, while bright, achieving disadvantaged pupils tend to gain socially and emotionally from this strategy, most disadvantaged children sustain significant losses in the social and emotional spheres and meaningful ethnic integration in the school is not achieved. It is recommended that the school invest greater resources in enhancing pupils' social and emotional development and that there be a dual emphasis in integrated schools on academic and personal development. Implementation of this recommendation requires retraining teachers to provide them with concrete skills in both areas that can be applied in the heterogeneous class.  相似文献

Teaching Approaches of Beginning Teachers for Jewish Studies in Israeli Mamlachti Schools: A Case Study of a Jewish Education Teachers’ Training Program for Outstanding Students     

Ori Katzin 《Journal of Jewish Education》2015,81(3):285-311

This article presents findings from a longitudinal qualitative study that examined teaching approaches of neophyte teachers in Israel during their 4-year exclusive teachers’ training program for teaching Jewish subjects and first two years of teaching. The program wanted to promote change in secular pupils’ attitudes toward Jewish subjects. We found a high incidence of teaching using positivistic approaches of knowledge transmission and the teachers adopted a particular teaching approach early into their training program that they continue to employ. Can teaching oriented in the transmission of central cultural value knowledge, with pupils as passive receptacles, create a meaningful encounter?  相似文献   

Causal knowledge and children’s possibility judgments     

Brandon W. Goulding  Emily Elizabeth Stonehouse  Ori Friedman 《Child development》2022,93(3):794-803

Children often say that strange and improbable events, like eating pickle-flavored ice cream, are impossible. Two experiments explored whether these beliefs are explained by limits in children's causal knowledge. Participants were 423 predominantly White Canadian 4- to 7-year-olds (44% female) tested in 2020–2021. Providing children with causal information about ordinary events did not lead them to affirm that improbable events are possible, and they more often affirmed improbable events after merely learning that a similar event had occurred. However, children were most likely to affirm events if they learned how similar events happened (OR = 2.16). The findings suggest that knowledge of causal circumstances may only impact children's beliefs about the possibility after they are able to draw connections between potential events and known events.  相似文献   

Preparing a Data Scientist: A Pedagogic Experience in Designing a Big Data Analytics Course          下载免费PDF全文

Daniel Adomako Asamoah  Ramesh Sharda  Amir Hassan Zadeh  Pankush Kalgotra 《Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education》2017,15(2):161-190

In this article, we present an experiential perspective on how a big data analytics course was designed and delivered to students at a major Midwestern university. In reference to the MSIS 2006 Model Curriculum, we designed this course as a level 2 course, with prerequisites in databases, computer programming, statistics, and data mining. Students in the class were mostly seniors or at the graduate level, and had a strong technical and quantitative background. We include details of concepts covered in the course, as well as summaries of four major sample course assignments used. Some of the concepts covered include large‐scale data collection and management using the Hadoop ecosystem, stream mining, visual analytics, and social network analytics. Besides Hadoop, the course also introduced various IBM and Teradata big data tools. We show how the course modules align with the intended learning goals and course objectives. A post‐course survey indicated that the structure and organization of the course helped students clearly and concisely assimilate the course content.  相似文献   

Linear-constant log-map,a fast accurate algorithm for map decoding     

Hamid Samadian  Amir Mousavie Nia 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2012,349(5):1721-1733

This paper proposes a new approximation to be used for the correction function in the turbo decoding algorithm, called Linear-Constant-log Map. Max-log Map, Linear-log Map and Constant-log Map are the well known simplified versions of Jacobi-log Map (Maximum a Posteriori) algorithm already in use but they cannot meet a proper performance in term of output BER and clock consumption of the CPU decoding encoded bits. The proposed algorithm first breaks the correction function domain of the Jacobi logarithm to three subsections by determining the border points between these sections and then uses a linear function and two constant values as an approximation of this function. Using an AWGN channel model, simulation results show that the new algorithm is almost more than six times faster than Jacobi-log Map algorithm with a Bit Error Rate (BER) very close to it.  相似文献   

Triggering effects of mobile video marketing in nature tourism: Media richness perspective     

Ari Alamäki  Juho Pesonen  Amir Dirin 《Information processing & management》2019,56(3):756-770

The aim of this study was to investigate videos as potential triggers of behavior. Therefore, we applied the theories of triggers and media richness to learn about the triggering efficiency of mobile marketing videos on participants’ behavioral intentions. The experiment involved three distinct test groups, each comprising 41 student participants. From the perspective of media richness theory, we observed that the different kinds of videos had quite similar effects in terms of triggering behavioral changes. However, the mechanisms explaining why triggers were present differed for each video. Further, the results reveal that the consumer's position in the information search process was the most significant reason for the triggering of any kind of effect. In addition, the instructionally designed videos were able to exert an affective triggering effect: the more participants liked the video, the more it affected their participation intention and recall scores. This study extends the media richness research by demonstrating that the effects of media richness can vary within technically similar videos, as they form different logical connections among non-verbal visual cues related to a video's storyline.  相似文献
