IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

Bulletin Board Report on the 2nd Thematic School on Dielectrics 2021 The 2nd Thematic School on Dielectrics was organized under the sponsorship of CNRS-French National Research Center, and supported by DEIS, on Porquerolles Island in France, from September 24 to 29, 2021. Viewed from the CNRS standpoint, a Thematic School is intended to provide training of different kinds of staff, ranging from engineers to PhD students and to confirmed researchers, on a particular topics of the present time. After a first edition organized in July 2018 related to the aging and reliability of dielectric materials and related structures [1], the topic of this second edition was the multiscale modelling of dielectric materials.

Professors Inuishi, Ieda and Yahagi were pioneers of research in dielectrics in Japan. Their philosophy was that in order to understand a certain property of a material or to clarify the mechanism of a phenomenon, research must be done with scientific rigor and a scholarly approach. Here, the author wishes to illustrate their philosophy through a number of examples of his own research on both inorganic and organic materials and on topics ranging from vacuum discharge, through defect centers in inorganic glasses, to the water tree degradation phenomena in insulating polymers. Finally he will make some comments upon the way in which fundamental research can be useful in an engineering context.

This article summarizes our description of the peer review system as it is presently implemented for the publication of scientific articles, for selection of grant applications, for hiring (mostly in academic institutions, though part of this may translate to other research jobs), for promotion and the like. It also indicates some examples of the third concept introduced in the previous article, namely: learn to play from the other side. Since anything that matters in the world of science is peer reviewed, we advise the reader to learn to place him/herself in the mindset of those who are going to evaluate his/her work so as to anticipate their reactions. This is the third article of a series, following the first (in which we described how the graduate course on 'Survival Skills for Scientists' was created at INRS) and the second article, in which we offered basic advice on how to apply the skills and knowledge acquired in graduate school to finding a job and developing a career in the 'real world' of science after graduating.

As already known, one of the most attracting event organized for general public is represented by the European Researchers' Night, which targets to bring near Science and Research all the interested actors, having actually a major coverage in more than 30 countries and almost 300 cities, being organized on the last Friday, in September.On the other hand, this event offers a good opportunity for disseminating the outputs designed in several projects that have as objective to promote science and scientific literacy to different target groups, starting from the young learners, to various stakeholders, less or not involved in research activities. In this respect, in the frame of the FP7 project called IRRESISTIBLE, in Romania, the European Researchers' Night was organized at the National Complex Museum "Curtea Domnească" Târgovişte (History Museum & Museum of Romanian Police), gathering scientific demonstrations, interactive presentations, experimental activities and discussions, but also a dedicated Science exhibition, named: "The World of Nanomaterials and Solar Energy". Most of the visitors were young students, but also general public was interested to participate to this event. The paper illustrates some aspects related to the participation to the event, but also the feedback recorded from the participants concerning responsible research and innovation aspects that have to be retrieved in the educational practice.

Dear Friends, It has been an exciting summer for the ICUC and our members! By all accounts, the FYI-Chem conference, held in Illinois from May 22nd to the 25 th was a delightful time of meeting new people, teaching and learning, and moving forward on behalf of chemical education throughout the world. I am happy to report that the ICUC now has over 140 members from a dozen countries and 6 continents. We continue to grow at a rapid pace. We are planning two FYI-Chem conferences, the primary one in Mexico City, Mexico, in late May, 2007, under the leadership of ICUC member Carlos Castro-Acuña and our many members from Mexico. To prepare for that conference, as well as to increase the language skills and cultural literacy of our membership, we have scheduled a special FYI-Chem conference in late May 2006, which will include several days of "Spanish immersion." Over 50 ICUC members have expressed an interest in attending, and details will be available within a couple of months. We have a wonderful range of articles in this issue of the ICUC Quarterly. Jeff Appling from Clemson University, USA, discusses a new lecture paradigm for his honors-level chemistry class that has invigorated both his teaching and his students' learning. Patricia Morales Bueno of the Pontifical Catholic University of Perú, tells us about chemical education in Perú, along with some of the financial and political hurdles that students and teachers face there as they strive for success. Michaeleen Lee from Bucks County Community College gives us an overview of the 2YC 3 , the major two-year chemistry education organization in the USA, as well as some background on their annual conferences. We have a link to the 2YC 3 on the ICUC homepage. Supriya Sihi teaches at Houston (Texas) Community College. In her articles, she describes the challenges and joys of teaching in a large urban system with a most diverse group of students. Our next contribution comes from Gabriel Pinto who teaches at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in Spain, who summarizes a recent symposium held there, in which over 200 teachers gathered to discuss physics and chemistry education and its relationship to the new European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System. Flora Setayesh of Nashville State Technical Community College, is our first Persian member of the ICUC, and discusses the influence of her upbringing in Iran on her views of teaching and learning in the USA. Jim Ellenson, who teaches at North Carolina Central University (USA) provocatively discusses the impact of his decades as an industrial chemist on his teaching and curriculum, especially emphasizing what students ought to know for the "real-world" after they graduate. Finally, Liliana Mammino of the University of Venda in South Africa considers the interplay of the firstyear and advanced chemistry courses, and how the "process-technology" course that is taught in the third year at Venda. We are fortunate to have these articles to share in this issue. Please consider contributing an article for a future issue, and say "yes" when the newsletter staff comes calling. These are exciting times. It's good to share them together.

During the teaching process of physics, the teaching materials serve as a theoretical foundation for the students so they gain practical theoretical skills while learning. On the other hand, while teaching physics, one should put to good use the skills and the knowledge that the students gain from various sources of information. Solving each problem in physics, whether in theory or in practice, is a scientific research process in miniature, a modest act of creation. Knowledge on physics should be treated on the basis of observation and concrete analyses of phenomena both in nature and in classrooms being supported by the study and the reproduction of physical phenomena via physical experimentation. The experiment should be broadly used, and should be considered as an important source of new teaching information to experimentally prove the raised hypothesis and/or ideas and theoretical conclusions drawn earlier, during control and estimation of the knowledge of students, during repet...

The present interview was conceived and realized for the occasion of the first 45 years of endless Physics Education Research activity of Professor Marisa Michelini, a lifetime dedicated to innovate teaching and learning environments to all degrees of instruction, and to design institutional architectures, where rooting these innovations. The interview structure is inspired to the nature of scientific thinking, i.e. inducing more general understanding from concrete observations, in two manners. First, the interview focuses on (ten) topics drawing from three box-cases about physics education research and teachers education in scientific areas: innovations in teaching/learning environments; theoretical and methodological frameworks; and strategies and tools for institutional cooperation between schools and governing bodies to urge policy making. Each topic is introduced by observations, from which the interview questions are induced. Second, each question draws from Marisa Michelini's contributions, to touch core topics at the heart of science education, science and society.

Los nuevos tiempos aportan desafíos y retos imprevistos, que obligan a nueva reflexión. No pocas veces la urgencia genera entre los teólogos juicios apresurados que luego hay que revisar. Por ello es tan relevante este pasaje paulino. Se requiere tiempo y diálogo para obtener una visión cabal, pero el cristiano parte de una luz que le precede y le supera; una luz interior (el Espíritu) que se ve actualizada por la luz exterior (la Palabra). Por ello, el hombre espiritual puede ofrecer respuestas evangélicas a las nuevas cuestiones. Consiguientemente, el cristiano que renuncia a valorar conforme al Evangelio los nuevos interrogantes renuncia también a la luz que brota de su bautismo, y por ello a su identidad.
