The Blockseminar will focus on three main aspects: 1) specialized theoretical knowledge, 2) rigorous field-research competence, and 3) the improvement of student’s intercultural, social and transfer competencies. Regarding the first focus, the topic of the Blockseminar will prioritize thematics such as religious belonging and practice in the context of migration; analysis of trans-national/cultural exchanges in European multicultural societies; dynamics of religious accommodation, integration, or extremism among migrant communities; cultural dynamics and trends among historically established religious groups in Europe; the intersection between national, ethnic, cultural and religious identities, and the pluralization and super-diversification of current European metropolis. In the first block of the Blockseminar, students will be introduced to conceptual frameworks, research models, and methodological techniques. At the end of the first block, students will form international and interdisciplinary groups in which they generate a research question within the frame of the seminar’s topic. Between blocks, the groups will develop individual observation and analysis in-situ of field cases and compare them inside the group. At this phase, each group will have private meetings with the Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter who will assist and advise them in the entire research process. The second block will take place as a two-days virtual conference on which students will present the field-work material, research results, descriptions of the field they visited, samples from the field interviews, etc.
| English proficiency B2+ | Students will attend the studying sessions, work in groups and present their results during the second block. Those interested in extra credits will be able to write an optional individual seminar paper according to the requirements of each faculty. | 5 | 25 | 25 | |
spring/summer semester 2023 | | Erasmus University Rotterdam | History/Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication | BA/BSc | | | 12/12/2022 | Prof R.D. Futselaar | Content During the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century the way societies viewed themselves changed. With the rise of nationalism came a remarkably biological view of human groups, that was inspired by half-understood advances made in biology at roughly the same time. The desire to categorise people in a small number of races, and to delineate belonging to a nation or state in terms of heredity, led to tremendous changes. It contributed greatly to some of the most gruesome acts of violence and genocide the world has ever seen. But is also inspired innovations in food policy, maternal healthcare and the rise of the welfare state. In this course, we will unpick the ways in which “biopower” (the term was invented by Michel Foucault) created much of the modern world, as well as many aspects of our current societies.

Non-obligatory Zoom meetings, biweekly, Tuesdays, 2-4 pm | | 11/04/2023 | Anette Pankratz | In the 18th century, Britain went through a time of relative stability: most of the monarchs were called George and the political system ran more or less smoothly along party lines. Due to a series of successful wars, the country rose to a major European and world power. Britannia ‘ruled the waves’ and dominated overseas trade. Architecture and literature supported Augustan splendour, symmetry and stability. At the end of the century, this stability was undermined: the take-off of the Industrial Revolution changed the lives of the people, and the Revolutions in North America and France challenged traditional ideas about politics and power. Neo-classicist symmetry was superseded by Gothic irregularity, the sublime and Romantic irrationality. The lecture course aims at having a critical look at 18th-century Britain and the grand narrative of Augustan stability. By dealing with political and religious developments, literature, music and fashion – not to mention beef and gin – it intends to present the students with a multifaceted survey of 18th-century culture. | | Assessment/requirements: passing the weekly online quizzes. | 2.5 (B.A.), 3 CP (M.A./M.Ed.) | 20 | 150 | Offered on a pass/fail basis. |
spring/summer semester 2023 | | University of Deusto | Faculty of Theology | BA/BSc | Monday and Wednesday 14:30 - 15:30 | | 09/01/2023 | Juan Luis de León | Una de las cuestiones más fascinantes que ha preocupado, interesado o interpelado al ser humano es el de la muerte, y el de si hay algún tipo de supervivencia personal después de ella. La muerte es una realidad para todo ser vivo, pero únicamente el ser humano es consciente de su propia muerte y se pregunta por ella. El arte, la cultura, las ciencias humanas y de la salud se han hecho eco de esta cuestión desde variadas perspectivas. La muerte es inevitable, generalmente no deseada y trunca las expectativas de los seres humanos. La pregunta sobre la muerte tiene mucho que ver con la pregunta sobre el sentido de la vida. A lo largo de la historia, diferentes culturas y religiones han intentado dar una respuesta al “misterio” de la muerte y a la pregunta de si hay algo o no después de ella. En esta asignatura estudiaremos, desde el respeto cultural, algunas de las principales respuestas religiosas dadas a esta cuestión. La reflexión seguirá siempre abierta, y esta asignatura ayudará a comprender el porqué de la importancia de este tema.

Times are CET; from March 27, 2023 CEST | | 09/01/2023 | Jon Ona | El Hecho Religioso ha sido y es una realidad fundamental en la formación, desarrollo y configuración de las diferentes culturas y sociedades humanas. No se puede entender las mismas sin abordar la dimensión religiosa. Pero tampoco se puede entender en su totalidad al ser humano sin atender a la dimensión espiritual que posiblemente le acompaña, de un modo u otro, desde sus orígenes. La Religión ha sido fuente de sentido y de desarrollo moral para el ser humano, tanto a nivel individual como colectivo; pero también es una realidad que presenta aspectos oscuros y desarrollo “peligrosos”. Por eso, estudiarla y tratar de comprenderla es necesario para quienes aspiramos, no sólo a comprendernos mejor como seres humanos, sino también a buscar impulsos y energías éticas para construir una sociedad mucho mejor en términos de inclusión; una sociedad en el que la convivencia armónica y pacífica, la tolerancia, la interculturalidad, la solidaridad y el cuidado mutuo sean pilares fundamentales. En esta asignatura, a través de un estudio introductorio de las principales tradiciones religiosas del mundo, vamos a tratar de responder a la cuestión de los aportes, que tanto para la vida personal de cada cual, como para la construcción social, puede ofrecernos la Religión, a través de sus diferentes concreciones, esto es: las grandes tradiciones religiosas del mundo. Son cuestiones clave acerca del sentido global desde el cual se puede construir un proyecto de vida y sobre el horizonte moral colectivo al que se puede aspirar en nuestro mundo globalizado. Pero en la respuesta que las religiones ofrecen, el elemento característico es la “dimensión trascendente” desde la que estas formulan dichas respuestas. Acercarnos a la capacidad de experimentar lo Trascendente que siempre ha tenido y tiene el ser humano supone acercarnos al corazón de lo que es más específico y propio de la Religión; supone acercarnos a su origen antropológico. Ello es necesario para poder despojar a la Religión de sus aspectos y desarrollos negativos. Además, en las sociedades occidentales actuales, crecientemente secularizadas, la perdida de esa perspectiva es la causa de una creciente ignorancia acerca del Hecho Religioso. Se trata de una ignorancia que, no sólo es fuete de crecientes malentendidos y prejuicios, sino que, además y por ello, nos priva de poder acceder a todo un patrimonio de sabiduría espiritual, filosófico y moral que los seres humanos hemos ido logrando a lo largo de nuestra historia.
| None | La evaluación final de la asignatura se realizará a través de dos componentes principales: la asistencia, realización de actividades individuales o grupales y participación activa en las sesiones síncronas (2 horas semanales) y la evaluación continua a través de las diversas actividades, que también pueden ser individuales o grupales, propuestas en la fase de “Evaluación” de cada unidad. En concreto, el alumnado tendrá que realizar tres tipos de pruebas de evaluación, tanto individuales como grupales, que se indican a continuación junto con el porcentaje que cada una de ellas tendrá en la nota final: 1.- Actividades de síntesis, interpretación y reflexión al final de algunas de las unidades didácticas. Serán cuatro las actividades de este tipo, todas de carácter individual. Supondrán el 40% de la nota final, aportando cada una de las actividades el 10% de la misma. 2.- Actividad grupal, realizada de manera tutorizada, a lo largo del curso, en torno a la dimensión ética de las grandes religiones y su importancia para la construcción social. Esta actividad supondrá el 30% de la nota final. 3.- Dos actividades grupales sobre interpretación y aplicación de Textos Sagrados. Una de las actividades versará sobre textos de las religiones orientales (China – India) y la otra sobre textos de las “religiones monoteístas occidentales”. Estas actividades proporcionarán el 30% de la nota final, siendo la aportación de cada una un 15%. La concreción de las actividades anteriores y sus plazos de entrega se dará a conocer al comienzo de curso.
En dichas actividades la evaluación de las competencias se realizará del siguiente modo: - Las competencias genéricas supondrán el 10% de la evaluación: 5% para la CG 1 y 5% para la CG 2. - Las competencias específicas supondrán el 90% de la evaluación, divididas de la siguiente manera: CE 1 (25%); CE 2 (40%); y CE 3 (25%). | 6 | 10 | 55 | |

On the one hand, these concepts follow the trend related to the domination of economic discourse in various areas of knowledge and social life, as well as neoliberal tendencies in politics in many countries. On the other hand, there are numerous controversies, especially ethical ones, but also related to methodological issues. In this situation, it is worth knowing what valuation methods are available, and which wider approaches to valuation exist. Course content: 1. What is value? - different understandings, different measures 2. How to express value? How to evaluate? 3. Is the value constant or can it change? If it changes, is it influenced by what? 4. Value conflict or value synergy 5. Valuation methods - monetary and non-monetary 6. Concepts for which valuation is particularly popular: ecosystem services, blue and green infrastructure 7. Examples of applications, work on the tool for valuation

The impact of the Internet is growing in breadth and depth, transforming traditional industries, reshaping government interactions, and increasing opportunities for social inclusion. Topics like privacy protection and cybersecurity are increasingly in the focus of global policymaking. Yet, no one organisation is responsible for ownership, development, or regulation of the Internet, with the ability to govern or regulate the outcomes of these conflicting forces. Hence, Internet governance (IG) has become one of the most important policy areas of our time. The term may be loosely defined as the various sets of norms (legal and non-legal) that determine how the Internet and its related applications function. Although how we manage the internet will define much of our society, the growing relevance of the internet is not yet supported by effective and inclusive IG. Meanwhile, there is also increasing frictions between free services and privacy, data protection and security, sovereignty and globalisation. New factors, such as technological innovations and non-traditional security threats, including digital affairs, pose security challenges to international actors. Unlike traditional security studies considering 'security' contextually given as the military threats of nation states, new security theories take a more critical stance towards the presumptive 'realities' of security in today's world. Ontologically, they share a more reflective understanding on security that fits to the rapidly changing global environment. The seminar will introduce several Aspects about digital geopolitics, Internet Governance, and security. It will focus on the EU's and East Asian States' role in this field. It will examine the multi-stakeholder model that governs the Internet, and how the different stakeholders impact the outcome of critical policy questions. To better understand the forces shaping the Internet, it will examine a number of current international challenges, including the role of the Internet in the international institutions, how to understand data related issues and increased cybersecurity threats, and the concerns over growing market power in the industry. This course provides students with some critical factual and analytical elements that should contribute to a better understanding and appreciation of this new field of study.

(Dr. Oliveira de Sousa, Course ID 060317, Thursday, noon-2 pm, Zoom Video Course) The topic of sustainability and climate change is here to stay. Despite the fact that citizens in many countries declare that combating climate change should be a top priority in politics and that they are willing to make changes in their individual lifestyles and behavior, many citizens keep reverting to their old, non-climate friendly habits (e.g. driving emissions-intensive cars, flying for holidays and so on). They do not promote any substantive changes in their behavior, even if they recognize a need to do so. This behavioral problem, which is widely attested in behavioral economics and sustainability research literature, poses the question of what might be possible to do to promote a long-standing change in behavior toward climate-friendlier and more sustainable standards and practices. This course will provide you with a critical reflection of the role of law broadly understood – of legal instruments and institutions – in the fight against climate change. In order to do this, it will provide you with an overview of the different legal instruments that have been adopted by legal systems worldwide (in Germany or otherwise) for incentivizing emissions reductions. It will also discuss the main challenges – from the point of view of behavioral studies – of changing behavior through law. This course has a strong inter-disciplinary character. Active participation and discussion are expected.

Tamara Nestorović | An overall insight of the modeling and control of active structures is given within the course. The terms and definitions as well as potential fields of application are introduced. For the purpose of the controller design for active structural control, the basics of the control theory are introduced: development of linear time invariant models, representation of linear differential equations systems in the state-space form, controllability, observability and stability conditions of control systems. The parallel description of the modeling methods in structural mechanics enables the students to understand the application of control approaches. For actuation/sensing purposes multifunctional active materials (piezo ceramics) are introduced as well as the basics of the numerical model development for structures with active materials. Control methods include time-continuous and discrete-time controllers in the state space for multiple-input multiple-output systems, as well as methods of the classical control theory for single-input single output systems. Differences and analogies between continuous and discrete time control systems are specified and highlighted on the basis of a pole placement method. Closed-loop controller design for active structures is explained. Different application examples and problem solutions show the feasibility and importance of the control methods for structural development. Within this course the students learn computer aided controller design and simulation using Matlab/Simulink software. Students will implement the acquired knowledge in the framework of a seminar paper related to the controller design supported by Matlab Software.

El 90% de los datos del mundo han sido creados en los últimos dos años. Esta sociedad digitalizada y ubicua precisa del manejo de datos a gran escala. Esta era, la hemos venido a bautizar como Big Data, un nuevo paradigma que permite generar, procesar y sacar valor del gran volumen, variedad y velocidad a la que generamos datos en nuestro día a día. Estamos hoy en día en una sociedad inteligente en la que el dato es la materia prima de la que se nutren muchas personas y empresas. El 60% de los millennials lee las noticias en Facebook. Noticias que os envuelven para que sigáis luego mirando fotos, comentando, reaccionando a mensajes de las marcas, etc. Facebook supera ya a la televisión y otros medios tradicionales. Es ya la quinta empresa por valor bursátil del mundo. Por otro lado, Google, tiene el 89% de la cuota de mercado de las búsquedas en Internet. Sabe lo que buscamos. Y gana dinero con la publicidad. Es ya la empresa de mayor valor bursátil del mundo. Hacer lo que han conseguido Facebook o Google implica administrar y procesar grandes volúmenes de datos, o "Big Data", y obtener información significativa es un desafío importante para el futuro de muchas organizaciones. Como consecuencia, muchas de ellas exigen competencias de análisis de datos para los puestos de trabajo que se están abriendo. Esto tiene un impacto significativo en una amplia gama de dominios, que incluyen la medicina, marketing, recursos humanos, economía digital, finanzas, etc. A pesar del progreso considerable en el alto rendimiento, la capacidad de almacenamiento y el poder de cómputo, los desafíos permanecen en la identificación, agrupación, clasificación e interpretación de un amplio espectro de información. Por eso es necesario adquirir habilidades y conocimientos en los campos de análisis, machine learning y computación de alto rendimiento.

Richard Rumelt, in his book "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy" introduced the concept of attractor to refer to a state of the industry that generates a substantial and decisive change in the future evolution of companies. The peculiarity of our times is that five attractors are colliding at the same time. Hyperpersonal spaces are concurring -we want everything personalized-, technological megatrends -many digital technologies at the same time-, the 2030 agenda -social and environmental concern-, the focus on the client -Taylorist linear production no longer works in a world in which the client wants everything to be tailored- and the speed in which a business model can work and die - the life cycles have been shortened. A similar moment happened at the beginning of the 19th century, with the appearance of machines, steam, the improvement in the production of iron, chemical manufacturing, the machine tool and the appearance of factories. The result was the Industrial Revolution. Accordingly, many sectors and organizations perceive that the digital society is generating extraordinarily disruptive and increasingly accelerated innovations. Generally, the more traditional sectors respond to this situation by trying to digitize their activity. Digitizing something implies doing the same thing, but in a digital medium. This is what happened, for example, with the appearance of the CD; the product of traditional cassettes was digitized. However, it is becoming more and more clear that this strategy is insufficient and the solution sooner rather than later entails a profound business transformation. This is what the press, banks, commerce, various areas of industrial production or marketing are experiencing. Transformation is what Spotify brought to the music industry. In this course, various forms of technologies will be highlighted to expose students to the emerging technologies impacting the business world. Knowledge of business principles, the impact of financial decisions, and technology proficiencies demanded by business combine to establish the elements of this course. Emphasis is placed on developing proficient fundamental computer skills required for all career pathways. Students will learn essentials for working in a business environment, managing a business, and owning a business. Accordingly, we will not only understand the concepts, but apply their knowledge to situations and defend their actions/decisions/choices through the knowledge and skills acquired in this course. All of the above points will be covered by contrasting the Western and Eastern worlds. In this way, the student will have a complete vision of the digital age in the world.

spring/summer semester 2023 | | University of Deusto | Faculty of Health | BA/BSc | Monday & Thursday 13:30-14:30 | | 09/01/2023 | Abel Ernesto González Vélez | La evidencia que respalda un rol más activo del sector de la salud en la gestión ambiental se fundamenta en: a) varias intervenciones en la materia pueden apoyar la lucha contra los determinantes de la salud; b) las medidas de sostenibilidad ambiental pueden beneficiar a pacientes, proveedores, personal sanitario y a los procesos clave de los sistemas sanitarios, y también pueden reducir los riesgos para la salud de origen ambiental; y c) la sostenibilidad ambiental puede contribuir a reducir los costes y aumentar la resiliencia de los sistemas sanitarios. El Acuerdo de París y el Pacto Verde Europeo son las principales iniciativas en materia ambiental a nivel mundial y europeo, respectivamente. En el primero, se busca mantener el aumento de la temperatura de este siglo por debajo de los 2oC y reforzar la capacidad para afrontar los impactos del cambio climático; mientras que el segundo, se traza eliminar para 2050 cualquier emisión de gases de efecto invernadero. Ambas políticas resaltan los beneficios para la salud que se derivan de su implementación. A partir de lo anterior y los 5 ejes de trabajo de la colaboración internacional Lancet Countdown, que monitoriza los efectos del cambio climático sobre la salud, se proponen las siguientes líneas temáticas: • Efecto del cambio climático sobre la salud; • resiliencia sanitaria; • mitigación y beneficios derivados para la salud; • coste económico-financiero del cambio climático; y • empoderamiento de la sociedad.
