  • Cultural Anthropology Through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-Based Sentiment
    Cultural Anthropology through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-based Sentiment Peter A. Gloor, Joao Marcos, Patrick M. de Boer, Hauke Fuehres, Wei Lo, Keiichi Nemoto [email protected] MIT Center for Collective Intelligence Abstract In this paper we study the differences in historical World View between Western and Eastern cultures, represented through the English, the Chinese, Japanese, and German Wikipedia. In particular, we analyze the historical networks of the World’s leaders since the beginning of written history, comparing them in the different Wikipedias and assessing cultural chauvinism. We also identify the most influential female leaders of all times in the English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese Wikipedia. As an additional lens into the soul of a culture we compare top terms, sentiment, emotionality, and complexity of the English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German Wikinews. 1 Introduction Over the last ten years the Web has become a mirror of the real world (Gloor et al. 2009). More recently, the Web has also begun to influence the real world: Societal events such as the Arab spring and the Chilean student unrest have drawn a large part of their impetus from the Internet and online social networks. In the meantime, Wikipedia has become one of the top ten Web sites1, occasionally beating daily newspapers in the actuality of most recent news. Be it the resignation of German national soccer team captain Philipp Lahm, or the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 in the Ukraine by a guided missile, the corresponding Wikipedia page is updated as soon as the actual event happened (Becker 2012.

  • At NASA, 2019 Was the Year of the Woman, Yet Women Still Are a Small
    At NASA, 2019 was the year of the woman, yet women still are a small minority there By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff on 12.12.19 Word Count 1,043 Level 1210L Image 1. NASA astronaut Suni Williams checks an aircraft used for flight training. Photo by: Jonathan Newton/Washington Post At NASA, 2019 could be considered the year of the woman. In October, astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir completed the first all-female spacewalk when they left NASA's International Space Station for hours to make a repair. Koch also is on her way toward 328 days aboard the International Space Station — the longest single space mission by a woman. Meanwhile, NASA is planning a moon mission called "Artemis," named after the Greek goddess, which aims to put "the next man and the first woman on the moon" by 2024. The aerospace industry, made up of businesses that design aircraft and spaceships, also boasts an unseen before number of women in high-ranking positions. Leanne Caret leads the defense and space division of Boeing, a top aerospace company. Gwynne Shotwell heads SpaceX, which makes rockets and spacecrafts. High-Profile Appointments, Record-Breaking Feats Are Rare This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. Yet for all the high-profile appointments and record-breaking feats, women remain an overwhelming minority at NASA and in the wider industry. Women make up only about a third of NASA's workforce. They make up just 28 percent of senior executive leadership positions and are only 16 percent of senior scientific employees, according to a survey done by the agency.

  • Christa Mcauliffe, Teacher Astronaut
    0106C Christa McAuliffe 10/26/05 10:43 PM Page 40 Christa McAuliffe, Teacher Astronaut S ONE OF her training exercises in becoming the first teacher astronaut, A Christa McAuliffe had to curl up inside a 36-inch-diameter nylon ball. When she was zipped up, she found herself in total darkness. She didn’t know when she’d be let out. Christa wore electrodes and transmitters to see how she would react to being closed in, since on the space shuttle she’d have to share a living space that measured only 10 by 13 feet (the size of her kitchen) with six people, and she and the other astronauts would eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, work, and relax there; it was no place for someone with claustrophobia. Christa thought she would start yelling and try to claw her way out, but she lay back, folded her arms across her stomach, and imagined herself floating in space. As Christa McAuliffe a result, the 15 minutes she spent inside the nylon ball were very peaceful. At the end of the exercise, she asked if she could take the ball home. “When things start to get crazy, I can just set the timer and tell the kids, ‘O.K., Mom’s going into the sphere now.’” Christa, a high-school social studies teacher from New Hampshire, first heard about the teacher astronaut program on the radio while driving with her husband, Steve. The smile that lit Christa’s face told Steve she was interested. “Go for it,” he said. When she put off filling out the Women astronauts stand with the Personal Rescue Enclosure (the rescue ball).

Citizens In Power This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Educator’s Guide Title: Approaching Derivative of a function through the movie ‘Hidden Figures’ Age Range: 16-18 years old Duration: 1 hour Mathematical Concepts: Euler’s Method, Definition of Derivative Artistic Concepts: Cinematography. General Objectives: The students, through a non-stressful environment, will familiarize with concepts both inside and outside the mathematical area. Even through the 3- minute trailer, students will get aspired of the huge contribution of colored women in the USA, in the beginning of the 20th century, along with their route to make history. Ultimately the students will also practice some mathematical concepts from algebra, namely the definition of derivative. Instructions and Methodologies: It is preferable to follow the structure of this tool, as it begins with some simple background information on the connection between mathematics and cinematography in general, whilst getting into more details on the 2 specific movie used. Firstly, it would be nice to see the pictures of the three female protagonists and read about their biography from the glossary.
