Many years ago, before the advent of Vatican II, a number churches, denominations and sects Protestant persuasion got together in spirit ecumenism. That which had divided past was now source rejoicing commonalty. To mark occasion new theology, an interdenominational Prayer Book appeared. It was, as one wag remarked, pleasing to everybody, but not God! The same might be said spate reforms which, over two or so, have lit upon world higher education. cultivation quality, efficiency...
The paper analyses employability as a floating signifier – construct that accommodates different and often contending meanings. A preliminary analysis of scholarly literature identifies two opposed interpretations an individual responsibility versus comprehensive context-aware construct. These are subsequently applied to the discourse major interests in Bologna Process: policy-makers; institutions academics; students; employers. Their standpoints examined from dimensions: How far is for...

Synchronization over networks depends strongly on the structure of coupling between oscillators. When presents certain regularities, dynamics can be coarse-grained into clusters by means External Equitable Partitions network graph and their associated quotient graphs. We exploit this graph-theoretical concept to study phenomenon cluster synchronization, in which different groups nodes converge distinct behaviors. derive conditions properties such clustered behavior emerges, show that ensuing...
This article examines the Bologna Process to explore some of issues that Euroland faces in its bid construct European Higher Education Area. However, author’s purpose lies elsewhere—namely, lay bare assumptions beneath various major systems higher education Western Europe. The tensions certain have created ongoing saga reconstruction, particularly those relate one basic education: namely, community which university is answerable and how it answerable. Finally, this changes between...
Using the intrinsic relationship between external equitable partition (EEP) and spectral properties of graph Laplacian, we characterize convergence observability consensus dynamics on networks. In particular, establish original associated quotient under varied initial conditions, asymptotic to synchronization manifold nonuniform input signals. We also show that EEP with respect a node can reveal nodes in an increased rate value, as characterized by second smallest eigenvalue Laplacian....
In olden days, when gentlemen's suits were crafted by hand, sartorial elegance went hand in with closeness of fit. The art the tailor was, older meaning term, nice. customer garnered his satisfaction compliments and admiring remarks friends colleagues. There is, however, a tale one unfortunate who, rather than going to Savile Row, where most exquisite British bespoke tailors are be found even today, thought avoid untoward expense East End London. measurements taken. adjustments made. result...
