Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Campus of Vienna from July 1 to 3, 2010.The conference is one of a series of events supported and/or organized by the University of Vienna's Forum for Interdisciplinary Dialogue (IDee).The 358-page volume begins with a preface by the three editors (pp.v to xiii).They describe the background for the conference and edited volume, and discuss the complex "threefold challenge" in organizing the conference: (i) the meanings and methods of interdisciplinary research, (ii) the complexity of migration and how to study it, and (iii) "the complex (socio-/geo-) political dimensions associated with migrations and the (all too) often unvoiced presuppositions."The main body of the volume consists of the papers presented at the conference.The papers are grouped into eight parts and themes.Part I, Interdisciplinary Approaches: Theories and Methodologies, has four papers.There are five papers in Part II, Peer Relations among Immigrant Adolescents: Methodological Challenges and Key Findings.Part III, Migration, Identity, and Belonging, and Part IV, Ego Documents Entered Migration History, each has a brief introduction followed by three papers.Part V, Debating Migrations, has five papers.There are two papers in Part VI, Diffusion and Spread in the Natural Sciences and Beyond.Part VII, Media Representations of Migrants and Migration, has a brief introduction, followed by two papers.The final part, Part VIII, Migration and the Genes, also has two papers, preceded by an introduction.Brief biographies of the editors and contributors are on pages 341-352, and the volume concludes with an index.Reviewing an edited volume poses distinct challenges compared to reviewing a book written by one or more authors on a particular subject.First, there is the wide range of specific topics included, even though they are intended to relate to migration.In this volume, the papers address peer relations among migrant youths, bullying and victimization in ethnically diverse schools, identity and belonging issues, the role of the media in perpetuating racism and anti-migrant attitudes, "barbarians" and the fall of the Roman Empire, and discourse analysis of the "parasite" and "fluidity" metaphors when used with reference to migration (for example, "migrants first trickle in, then turn into streams and at last flood a peaceful country;" p. 206).Related to the first challenge is a second challenge, where contributors use different data, theoretical perspectives, and methodologies.Thus, there are contributions from a wide range of scholars, including psychologists, historians, anthropologists, linguists, physicists, geneticists, botanists, and several others from fields such as communication, discourse, intercultural studies, and transnational studies.The latter fields usually try to bridge multiple disciplines, but most of the scholars from these fields appear to be from the humanities.A third challenge of this volume is its historical and geographical diversity.For example, there is a paper on migration in ancient Egypt by an Egyptologist;

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
