A chromospheric model for FU Ori Massimo Teodorani

https://www.academia.edu/74815010/A_chromospheric_model_for_FU_Ori?email_work_card=title&li=0 We present medium and high-dispersion optical spectra of the FUOr variable FU Ori, demonstrating that some lines are subject to variability both on a yearly and on a daily time scale. Some raw models of accretion disk atmospheres are presented in order to explain both qualitatively and quantitatively the dynamics of the observed line variability. Computing synthetic profiles for the Hα line by using the non-LTE MULTI code, we find that the emission component of this feature is very sensitive to the temperature gradient and the maximum temperature reached in a chromospheric-like layer. Further, the blue absorption component of the Hα depends only on the velocity field of the wind and the transition between the absorption and emission components is produced where the chromosphere ends and the wind begins. Similar chromospheric analysis is applied to the profile of the Na I D lines in pure absorption.

Teaching practices in the humanities and social sciences at the elementary level in Quebec 25 years after the curriculum reform Guilherme Moerbeck

This article explores teaching practices in the humanities and social sciences at the elementary school level, 25 years after the curriculum and teacher education reform in Quebec. Methodology. The study draws on analysis of an online survey administered to 243 teachers to highlight the didactic dimensions of social studies teaching. Results and discussion. The results indicate that current practices prioritize the transmission of general knowledge in geography and history, as well as the development of attitudes and values to foster a sense of belonging in students. Although a research-based approach to history and geography teaching has been partly incorporated, the instructional tools employed remain primarily focused on general knowledge, with limited use of didactic tools such as mind maps and concept maps. This situation reveals a significant gap between available teaching resources and intended learning objectives, and highlights the need to revise practices in order to better align teaching with educational guidelines.

Three New Kings of Assyria Eckart Frahm, Alexander Johannes Edmonds

https://www.academia.edu/169939048/Three_New_Kings_of_Assyria?email_work_card=title In this contribution, we critically examine the claim that the Assyrian King List (AKL) reliably contains all Neo-Assyrian monarchs up to Shalmaneser V, presenting three historical scenarios in which it can be demonstrated that short-lived Assyrian kings ruled parallel to or between those listed in the AKL's first-millennium BCE portion. The first of these is a new rebel king Tiglath-pileser who rose up against his nephew Aššur-dān III in 763 BCE (most likely in the wake of a dramatic solar eclipse) and was enthroned in Aššur, before being toppled again by Aššur-dān III's forces. The second is a new Shalmaneser who we assume succeeded Aššur-nārārī V to the Assyrian throne late in 747 BCE but lost his throne to Tiglath-pileser III a little more than a year later in 745 BCE. The third is earlier in date, a short-lived Aššur-uballiṭ whose reign was usurped by Adad-nārārī II in 912* BCE. Each king was enthroned at Aššur, and enjoyed support from some, if not all of Assyria, but was subsequently defeated or deposed. Evidence of the partial erasure of two of these kings from the historical record can be identified. The new insights thus gained into the cutthroat Assyrian "game of thrones" demonstrate that the AKL is not a reliable list of all Neo-Assyrian rulers, but rather of those who reigned long and successfully enough to be included by its editors in an idealized, consecutive order. This reframes our perspective on the motivations behind the compilation of this remarkable text, and the nature of Assyrian kingship itself.
