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

Postsecondary Students with LD/ADHD Facing a Sudden Shift to Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic—Emotional Costs and Implications     

Maya Kalman-Halevi  Rony Tutian  Yehuda Peled 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2023,38(3):239-247

This study examined the emotional costs and well-being of postsecondary students with learning disabilities (LD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who faced a sudden shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted with 237 postsecondary students in Israel from June to July 2020. With regard to online learning, the LD/ADHD subjects reported significantly higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression and lower well-being than their neurotypical counterparts. However, no significant differences were found in emotional costs and well-being when the same students had experienced online learning prior to the pandemic. These findings have practical implications for policymakers in academia with regard to the emotional toll of online learning among students with LD/ADHD and their specific needs when facing ERT during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the contribution of previous online learning when facing ERT.  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
