More than a feeling
Background and Context Sense of belonging is correlated with retention rates in STEM and computing. Improving students’ sense of belonging in computing courses may increase retention or broaden participation. Unfortunately, existing definitions of sense of belonging provide few insights into how to increase sense of belonging. Allen et al. propose a framework of four antecedents for sense of belonging: competencies for belonging, motivationsto be…

Judaïsmes antiques et littérature rabbinique classique
IntroductionLe séminaire de recherche de l’année 2021-2022 a été consacré au thème du droit perse dans le Talmud de Babylone.Au début, quelques séances étaient dédiées aux premières recherches en ce domaine, et à son importance dans la recherche du xixe siècle. Les séances suivantes ont porté sur l’analyse des sources talmudiques dans lesquelles il est fait référence au droit perse, ou encore dans celles où la terminologie juridique persane appar…
Studying STEM Faculty Communities of Practice through Social Network Analysis
Stakeholders are increasingly calling for improving instruction in STEM by building environments that enable faculty to sustainably change their teaching practices. This study reports one institutional change effort that effectively facilitated faculty’s adoption of evidence-based instructional practices (EBIP), which is to organize faculty into teaching-focused communities of practice (CoPs). We examined the social interactions of faculty within…
The Aggada of the Bavli and Its Cultural World
Identifying Core Concepts of Cybersecurity
This paper presents and analyzes results of two Delphi processes that polled cybersecurity experts to rate cybersecurity topics based on importance, difficulty, and timelessness. These ratings can be used to identify core concepts–cross-cutting ideas that connect knowledge in the discipline. The first Delphi process identified core concepts that should be learned in any first course on cybersecurity. The second identified core concepts that any c…
“In Honor of the House of Caesar”
Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians
The Sasanian Empire was home to many religious communities. It was also a place of meeting and transformation. The studies in this volume encompass a diverse array of topics concerning these religious communities inhabiting the Sasanian Empire. Some include the Roman East in their deliberations. Most, however, deal with the interaction of one or other religious community based in the Sasanian Empire with the dominant religion of the empire, Zoroa…
A prince without a kingdom
The Exilarchs, professed scions of the biblical Davidic royal line, were leaders of the Jews of Babylonia in antiquity. They were said to be powerful political figures and to lead a decadent lifestyle. Their princely trappings and high-handed manner were legend. They were reported to be completely assimilated into Persian culture. Geoffrey Herman examines the evidence, culled mainly from the Talmudic and Geonic literature, subjecting the institut…
Flip-Flops in Students' Conceptions of State
The authors conducted a qualitative interview-based study to reveal students' misconceptions about state in sequential circuits. This paper documents 16 misconceptions of state, how students' conceptions of state shift and change, and students' methodological weaknesses. These misconceptions can be used to inform and direct instruction. This study revealed a need for the development and adoption of standard terminology and a need to focus digital…
A Prince without a Kingdom
Ein Prinz ohne Königreich. Die Exilarchen in der sassanidischen Ära
Students' Misconceptions About Medium-Scale Integrated Circuits
To improve instruction in computer engineering and computer science, instructors must better understand how their students learn. Unfortunately, little is known about how students learn the fundamental concepts in computing. To investigate student conceptions and misconceptions about digital logic concepts, the authors conducted a qualitative interview-based study. In the interviews, students verbalized their thinking while they solved digital lo…
Iranian Epic Motifs in Josephus' Antiquities (XVIII, 314-370)
Ahasuerus, the former Stable-Master of Belshazzar, and the Wicked Alexander of Macedon
Throughout the Talmudic era, the Jewish community of Babylonia lived under Persian rule while Zoroastrianism, serving as a state religion, was enjoying something of a renaissance. In Babylonia, known in the later geographical literature as the Persian heartland, Jews lived alongside Persians. Babylonian Jews had also already experienced Persian rule for centuries prior to the Talmudic era under the Achaemenids, and later under the persianized Ars…
