Reducing Old-Age Social Exclusion (Rosenet)
COST Action CA 15122 Reducing Old-Age Social Exclusion (ROSEnet) 3rd Training School 2018 Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia 4th - 6th June 2018 The training school (TS) is organised within the framework provided by COST action ”ROSEnet” (www.rosenetcost.com), which aims to overcome fragmentation and critical gaps in conceptual innovation on old-age exclusion across the life course, in order to address the research-policy disconnect and tackle social exclusion amongst older people in Europe. Final programme of the 2018 Training School First of all, congratulations on being selected to join us at ROSEnet’s 3rd Training School, which will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia from 4th to 6th June 2018 at Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ljubljana. We look very much forward to meeting you in Ljubljana in a couple of weeks! As stated in the preliminary programme you received when you first apply, this Training School will focus on conceptual and methodological aspects of research on social exclusion. This school will include not only lectures on ongoing research on old-age social exclusion being carried out in the different Working Groups around which ROSEnet’s work is organized but also ample opportunities to share your own research with us. Most of the lectures and discussions will focus on the conceptual elements of exclusion, leading to different operationalisations and methodological approaches from qualitative to quantitative and mixed methods research designs. It is not unccomon for COST-Actions’ Training Schools to aim to build capacity amongst early- career investigators, which is why they sometimes offer some form of academic skill training. -

Ludwig Boltzmann Was Born in Vienna, Austria. He Received His Early Education from a Private Tutor at Home
Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) Ludwig Boltzmann was born in Vienna, Austria. He received his early education from a private tutor at home. In 1863 he entered the University of Vienna, and was awarded his doctorate in 1866. His thesis was on the kinetic theory of gases under the supervision of Josef Stefan. Boltzmann moved to the University of Graz in 1869 where he was appointed chair of the department of theoretical physics. He would move six more times, occupying chairs in mathematics and experimental physics. Boltzmann was one of the most highly regarded scientists, and universities wishing to increase their prestige would lure him to their institutions with high salaries and prestigious posts. Boltzmann himself was subject to mood swings and he joked that this was due to his being born on the night between Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday (or between Carnival and Lent). Traveling and relocating would temporarily provide relief from his depression. He married Henriette von Aigentler in 1876. They had three daughters and two sons. Boltzmann is best known for pioneering the field of statistical mechanics. This work was done independently of J. Willard Gibbs (who never moved from his home in Connecticut). Together their theories connected the seemingly wide gap between the macroscopic properties and behavior of substances with the microscopic properties and behavior of atoms and molecules. Interestingly, the history of statistical mechanics begins with a mathematical prize at Cambridge in 1855 on the subject of evaluating the motions of Saturn’s rings. (Laplace had developed a mechanical theory of the rings concluding that their stability was due to irregularities in mass distribution.) The prize was won by James Clerk Maxwell who then went on to develop the theory that, without knowing the individual motions of particles (or molecules), it was possible to use their statistical behavior to calculate properties of a gas such as viscosity, collision rate, diffusion rate and the ability to conduct heat. -
Chapter 5 Jože Plečnik, the Regulation of Ljubljana
CHAPTER 5 JOŽE PLEČNIK, THE REGULATION OF LJUBLJANA – CLASSICAL MODERNISM 1928-1939 B W Davies Chapter 5 CHAPTER 5 Jože Plečnik, The Regulation of Ljubljana – Classical Modernism 1928-1939 The other major developments in architectural work and town and city planning in Central Europe are not to be found in the efforts of a large number of people but in the work of one man whose architectural oeuvre enriched firstly Prague and then Ljubljana. He was Jože Plečnik; Plečnik is the central figure in a forgotten chapter in the development of international modernism. The Slovene architect Jože Plečnik has become the central personality of a so far largely ignored development taking place behind the façade of functionalist slogans of theoreticians and prominent creative personalities of international modernism including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Alvar Aalto.1 Plečnik had for years remained largely unrecognised even though one of his works, Church of the Sacred Heart, first drawn in 1922 (5.1), arriving at a final design in 1927, dominates a square in Vinohrady, Prague – a robust building which can stand alone or be seen as a focus for Plečnik’s work especially in the inventiveness in the use of historical, regional and even local elements in new, original wholes, ranging from minute details, to major planning projects.2 Plečnik’s return to Slovenia from the Czechoslovak Republic was by no means certain for two reasons: in 1920 Plečnik was invited by Tomáš Mašaryk, President of the new Czechoslovak Republic, to be architect in chief in the remodelling and restoration of Hradcany (Prague Castle). -

Introduction Time is mysterious. Philosophers and scientists have pondered the question of what time might be for centuries and yet till this day, we don’t know what it is. Everyone talks about time, in fact, it’s the most common noun per the Oxford Dictionary. It’s in everything from history to music to culture. Despite time’s mysterious nature there are a lot of things that we can discuss in a logical manner. Time travel on the other hand is even more mysterious. -

The Controversy on Photons and the Hanbury-Brown & Twiss Experiment
The Controversy on Photons and the Hanbury-Brown & Twiss Experiment Indianara Lima Silva Universidade Federal da Bahia Abstract: One can think that the hypothesis of existence of the photons was established through the experimental results carried out by Robert A. Millikan (1868- 1953), who confirmed the Einstein's equation of the photoelectric effect in 1915, and by Arthur H. Compton (1892-1962), who showed that for explaining the X-rays scattering by matter it was necessary to consider the corpuscular nature of radiation in 1923. Nevertheless, the history of the photon concept is not as linear as it may seem. Throughout the twentieth century, the demand for the concept of photon was challenged at least by the following physicists: Guido Beck (1903-1988) in his paper Zur Theorie des Photoeffekts published in 1927, Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) in Über den Comptoneffect published in 1927, Gregor Wentzel (1898-1978) in Zur Theorie des photoelektrisohen Effekts published also in 1927, John Newton Dodd (1922-2005) in The Compton effect – a classical treatment published in 1983, Janez Strnad (1934 – ) in The Compton effect – Schrodinger’s treatment published in 1986, Willis Eugene Lamb (1913-2008) and Marlan 0rvil Scully (1939 – ) in The Photoelectric Effect Without Photons of 1969, and again by Lamb in his paper Anti-photon published in 1995. On the other hand, never before the need of such a concept was felt as in current times. For instance, The International Society for Optical Engineering has organized conferences since 2003 whose interests is already described in their title, The Nature of Light: What is the Photon? According to the editors of the 2005 conference, “We all know that for centuries light has been playing a crucial role in the evolution of both sciences and technologies and the field is becoming ever more important every day” (Roychoudhuri, Creath and Kracklauer, p. -

Josiah Willard Gibbs
GENERAL ARTICLE Josiah Willard Gibbs V Kumaran The foundations of classical thermodynamics, as taught in V Kumaran is a professor textbooks today, were laid down in nearly complete form by of chemical engineering at the Indian Institute of Josiah Willard Gibbs more than a century ago. This article Science, Bangalore. His presentsaportraitofGibbs,aquietandmodestmanwhowas research interests include responsible for some of the most important advances in the statistical mechanics and history of science. fluid mechanics. Thermodynamics, the science of the interconversion of heat and work, originated from the necessity of designing efficient engines in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Engines are machines that convert heat energy obtained by combustion of coal, wood or other types of fuel into useful work for running trains, ships, etc. The efficiency of an engine is determined by the amount of useful work obtained for a given amount of heat input. There are two laws related to the efficiency of an engine. The first law of thermodynamics states that heat and work are inter-convertible, and it is not possible to obtain more work than the amount of heat input into the machine. The formulation of this law can be traced back to the work of Leibniz, Dalton, Joule, Clausius, and a host of other scientists in the late 17th and early 18th century. The more subtle second law of thermodynamics states that it is not possible to convert all heat into work; all engines have to ‘waste’ some of the heat input by transferring it to a heat sink. The second law also established the minimum amount of heat that has to be wasted based on the absolute temperatures of the heat source and the heat sink. -
