Or, to consider the definition most relevant to our purposes, Praxis is the relationship between theory and practice. In 1963, the University of Zagreb, Croatia (then, Yugoslavia) opened their first international summer school on the island of Korcula, and the main symposium was organized by a group of forward-thinking philosophers, sociologists, economists, and historians who wrote for the Zagreb review, “Praxis.” The Praxis School was essentially a Marxist Humanist philosophical movement that had its roots in both Zagreb and Belgrade. Their emphasis was on the writings of the young Marx and in opening an inquiry into the future of mankind.

  • Research Report: Nebraska Pilot Test
    6.1 Nebraska pilot test Effective Designs for the Administration of Federal Elections Section 6: Research report: Nebraska pilot test June 2007 U.S. Election Assistance Commission 6.2 Nebraska pilot test Nebraska pilot test overview Preparing for an election can be a challenging, complicated process for election offi cials. Production cycles are organized around state-mandated deadlines that often leave narrow windows for successful content development, certifi cation, translations, and election design activities. By keeping election schedules tightly controlled and making uniform voting technology decisions for local jurisdictions, States aspire to error-free elections. Unfortunately, current practices rarely include time or consideration for user-centered design development to address the basic usability needs of voters. As a part of this research effort, a pilot study was conducted using professionally designed voter information materials and optical scan ballots in two Nebraska counties on Election Day, November 7, 2006. A research contractor partnered with Nebraska’s Secretary of State’s Offi ce and their vendor, Elections Systems and Software (ES&S), to prepare redesigned materials for Colfax County and Cedar County (Lancaster County, originally included, opted out of participation). The goal was to gauge overall design success with voters and collaborate with experienced professionals within an actual production cycle with all its variables, time lines, and participants. This case study reports the results of voter feedback on election materials, observations, and interviews from Election Day, and insights from a three-way attempt to utilize best practice design conventions. Data gathered in this study informs the fi nal optical scan ballot and voter information specifi cations in sections 2 and 3 of the best practices documentation.

  • As the Race for the Presidency Enters Its Final Days, This Poll Finds Democrat Barack Obama with a Nine Point Lead Over Republic
    CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES POLL For release: Thursday, October 30, 2008 6:30 pm (EDT) THE CAMPAIGN: FIVE DAYS TO GO October 25-29, 2008 Barack Obama has reached key thresholds with voters when it comes to overcoming some of his perceived weaknesses: more than half say he is prepared for the job, and nearly half are confident in his ability to handle an international crisis. Most voters expect the Democratic nominee to reach across the aisle, and say he understands and cares about them. And Obama benefits from a surge in early voting and first time voters. But polarization remains: more than half of those currently supporting John McCain say they would be “scared” of an Obama presidency. And the remaining uncommitted voters resemble current McCain voters more than they do Obama supporters. As the race for the presidency enters its final days, this poll finds the Democratic ticket with an eleven point lead over the Republicans among likely voters (including those who lean toward a candidate), with just 5% undecided. CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT (Among likely voters including leaners) Obama-Biden 52% McCain-Palin 41 Undecided 5 Among likely voters excluding those who lean toward a candidate, the margin is the same. More than nine in 10 of each candidate’s voters say they have made up their minds about who to vote for. Fewer than one in ten of either candidate’s voters say they could still change their minds. IS YOUR MIND MADE UP? (Among likely voters with a candidate choice) Obama voters McCain voters Yes 93% 91% No, too soon 7 9 17% of registered voters say they have already voted (by absentee ballot or at early voting sites), and by a large margin they have voted for Barack Obama over John McCain.
