Giftedness and Cultural Diversity, Viewed from a Personalist Perspective
Gabriele Weigand 고려대학교 응용문화연구소 2016 에피스테메 Vol.0 No.15
Giftedness and cultural and ethnic background as categories of diversity are viewed from a personalist perspective. After introducing the issue, we look at the question of giftedness and cultural and ethnic background not only as sociocultural constructs but also as categories that influence practice when dealing with diversity in schools. From a personalist perspective, the person is the source for educational thinking and acting. I will therefore describe what it means to view the human being as a person, presenting the historical and philosophical roots as well as the dimensions and functions of the concept of the person as a basis of educational theory and practice. The consequence of these considerations will be the thesis that the starting point and aim of educational theory and practice cannot be the narrow focus on giftedness and cultural and ethnic background, but rather the human being with all his individuality and dignity, with his capabilities and talents that are to be realized during his life-time. Finally, I will discuss the implications resulting from this anthropological basis for a personalist pedagogy of fostering giftedness and gifted students.

<P>Hereditary sensorineural hearing loss is an extremely clinical and genetic heterogeneous disorder in humans. Especially, syndromic hearing loss is subdivided by combinations of various phenotypes, and each subtype is related to different genes. We present a new form of progressive hearing loss with migraine found to be associated with a variant in the ATP1A2 gene. The ATP1A2 gene has been reported as the major genetic cause of familial migraine by several previous studies. A Korean family presenting progressive hearing loss with migraine was ascertained. The affected members did not show any aura or other neurologic symptoms during migraine attacks, indicating on a novel phenotype of syndromic hearing loss. To identify the causative gene, linkage analysis and whole-exome sequencing were performed. A novel missense variant, c.571G>A (p.(Val191Met)), was identified in the ATP1A2 gene that showed co-segregation with the phenotype in the family. In silico studies suggest that this variant causes a change in hydrophobic interactions and thereby slightly destabilize the A-domain of Na+/K+-ATPase. However, functional studies failed to show any effect of the p.(Val191Met) substitution on the catalytic rate of this enzyme. We describe a new phenotype of progressive hearing loss with migraine associated with a variant in the ATP1A2 gene. This study suggests that a variant in Na+/K+-ATPase can be involved in both migraine and hearing loss.</P>
Performance of Tall Buildings in Urban Zones: Lessons Learned from a Decade of Full-Scale Monitoring
Kijewski-Correa, T.,Kareem, A.,Guo, Y.L.,Bashor, R.,Weigand, T. Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2013 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.2 No.3
The lack of systematic validation for the design process supporting tall buildings motivated the authors' research groups and their collaborators to found the Chicago Full-Scale Monitoring Program over a decade ago. This project has allowed the sustained in-situ observation of a collection of tall buildings now spanning worldwide. This paper overviews this program and the lessons learned in the process, ranging from appropriate technologies for response measurements to the factors influencing accurate prediction of dynamic properties all the way to how these properties then influence the prediction of response using wind tunnel testing and whether this response does indeed correlate with in-situ observations. Through this paper, these wide ranging subjects are addressed in a manner that demonstrates the importance of continued promotion and expansion of full-scale monitoring efforts and the ways in which these programs can provide true value-added to building owners and managers.

<P>Magnetic skyrmions(1,2) are topologically protected spin textures that exhibit fascinating physical behaviours(1-6) and large potential in highly energy-efficient spintronic device applications(7-13). The main obstacles so far are that skyrmions have been observed in only a few exotic materials and at low temperatures(1-4,6-8), and fast current-driven motion of individual skyrmions has not yet been achieved. Here, we report the observation of stable magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in ultrathin transition metal ferromagnets with magnetic transmission soft X-ray microscopy. We demonstrate the ability to generate stable skyrmion lattices and drive trains of individual skyrmions by short current pulses along a magnetic racetrack at speeds exceeding 100m s(-1) as required for applications. Our findings provide experimental evidence of recent predictions(10-13) and open the door to room-temperature skyrmion spintronics in robust thin-film heterostructures.</P>
