Criticality in Neural Systems
Leading authorities in the field review current experimental and theoretical knowledge oncriticality and brain function. The book begins by summarizing experimental evidence for criticality and self-organizedcriticality in the brain.Subsequently, important breakthroughs in modeling of critical neuronal circuits and how to establish self-organized criticality in the brain are described. A milestone publication, defining upcoming directions of research in this new fi eld and set to become the primary source of information on the brain and criticality.

Spin Glasses : Criticality and Energy Landscapes
This thesis addresses the surprising features of zero-temperature statics and dynamics of several spin glass models, including correlations between soft spins that arise spontaneously during avalanches, and the discovery of localized states that involve the presence of two-level systems.It also presents the only detailed historiographical research on the spin glass theory.Despite the extreme simplicity of their definition, spin glasses display a wide variety of non-trivial behaviors that are not yet fully understood.In this thesis the author sheds light on some of these, focusing on both the search for phase transitions under perturbations of Hamiltonians and the zero-temperature properties and responses to external stimuli.After introducing spin glasses and useful concepts on phase transitions and numerics, the results of two massive Monte Carlo campaigns on three-dimensional systems are presented: The first of these examines the de Almeida–Thouless transition, and proposes a new finite-size scaling ansatz, which accelerates the convergence to the thermodynamic limit.The second reconstructs the phase diagram of the Heisenberg spin glass with random exchange anisotropy.

Interculturality, Criticality and Reflexivity in Teacher Education
Preparing teachers to work with and for diversity in their classrooms and beyond is an objective that seems to be globally accepted in pre-service and in-service teacher education.However, what diversity means, what it entails and how to engage with diverse individuals in educational contexts can take on multiple shapes in different parts of the world.This Element suggests that the multifaceted and polysemic notion of interculturality could be useful to unthink and rethink (ad infinitum) working with diverse people in education.The Element surveys the different meanings and ideologies attached to the notion, using a multilingual perspective to do so.Recent research published internationally on the topic and its companions such as multicultural is also reviewed.The main addition to the field is a critical and reflexive perspective which is proposed for teacher educators, (students) teachers and researchers.The proposal draws from Dervin's most up-to-date theoretical and pedagogical work.

Qualitative Research Approaches for Psychotherapy : Reflexivity, Methodology, and Criticality
Qualitative Research Approaches for Psychotherapy offers the reader a range of current qualitative research approaches congruent with the values and practices of psychotherapy itself: experience-based, reflective, contextualized, and critical. This volume contains 14 compelling, challenging new essays from authors in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, writing from a range of theoretical and cultural perspectives.The book covers both established and emerging approaches to qualitative research in this field, beginning with case study, ending with postqualitative, and with hermeneutic, reflexive, psychosocial, Talanoa, queer, feminist, critical race theory, heuristic, grounded theory, authoethnographic, poetic and collaborative writing approaches in between.These chapters introduce and explore the complexity of the specific research approach, its assumptions, challenges, ethics, and potentials, including examples from the authors’ own research, therapeutic practice, and life.The book is not a ‘how to’ guide to methods but, rather, a stimulus for psychotherapy researchers to think and feel their way differently into their research endeavours. This book will be an invaluable resource to postgraduate students, practitioners and established researchers in psychotherapy who are undertaking (or considering) qualitative research for their projects.It will also appeal to course tutors and trainers looking for a volume around which to structure a qualitative research methods course.

Critical Pedagogies for Modern Languages Education : Criticality, Decolonization, and Social Justice
In the context of Black Lives Matter, decolonizing initiatives, #MeToo, climate emergency protests and other movements for social and environmental justice, this volume posits a simple question: how can modern languages be taught so that they challenge rather than reinforce social inequalities?Informed by interdisciplinary theories, Critical Pedagogies for Modern Language Education focuses on practical discussions of case studies in areas directly relevant to the classroom contexts of modern languages educators.The volume transforms modern language educators and the modern language profession by putting the politics of language teaching at the centre of its analysis.With case studies covering 11 languages (Modern Standard Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Levantine, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Tamazight) across 13 countries and regions (Austria, Brazil, China, France, Italy, the Levant, Morocco, the Netherlands, Palestine, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the USA), the contributors cover a wide range of theories, including critical discourse analysis, activist pedagogies, culturally sustaining pedagogy, linguistic justice and translanguaging. With student-teacher collaboration at its heart, critical modern languages pedagogy unmasks the ideologies and hegemonies that lie behind mainstream language use and affirms the value of minority linguistic and cultural practices.The volume thus provides transformative approaches to modern languages teaching and learning that respond to the key social concerns of the 21st century.

Criticality safety in the handling of fissile material : specific safety guide
This Safety Guide provides guidance and recommendations on how to meet the relevant requirements for ensuring subcriticality when dealing with fissile material and for planning the response to criticality accidents.The guidance and recommendations are applicable to both regulatory bodies and operating organizations.The objectives of criticality safety are to prevent a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction and to minimize the consequences of this if it were to occur.The Safety Guide makes recommendations on how to ensure subcriticality in systems involving fissile materials during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and, in the case of accident conditions, within design basis accidents, from initial design through commissioning, operation, and decommissioning and disposal.

Criticality, Agency, and Language Teacher Identities : Research and Praxis from Global Teacher Education
This book interrogates language teacher identity construction, negotiation, and meaning-making in today's ever-changing global contexts.By exploring language teacher identity through a critical lens and drawing on insights from language teachers and language teacher educators, it provides a deep understanding of how identity construction unfolds and transforms teaching practices. Its chapters use a wide range of methodologies and theoretical perspectives, including World Englishes, raciolinguistics, postcolonial theory and auto-ethnography.This wealth of international case studies moves beyond simply contrasting native and non-native speaking teachers to instead highlight their intersectional identities.This approach foregrounds and problematizes the power imbalances woven into language teaching and teacher education, documenting ways in which language teachers can advocate for themselves, their profession, students, families, and their communities.It also suggests ways of sharing innovative critical approaches at the intersection of LTI, agency, and today's complex socio-political and socio-historical contexts.
