Welfare-optimal Status Planning of Minority Languages: An Economic Approach [PDF]

We analyze normatively determined distributions of language rights in multilingual settings. It is shown in a welfare-maximizing model where rights today influence the status of a language in the future, that the “naïve” ex ante cost-benefit analysis has

A Bespoke Programmable Interpenetrating Elastomer Network Composite Laryngeal Stent for Expedited Paediatric Laryngotracheal Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A programmable interpenetrating double‐network architecture, created via 3D‐TIPS printing and resin infusion, synergistically combines thermoplastic and thermosetting elastomers to balance structural rigidity and surface softness—crucial for paediatric laryngeal stents.

Confronting the Extinction Narrative: Diversity research, media, and folk views on language endangerment [PDF]

, 2015
The presentation is based on experiences from the EU-FP7 research project ELDIA, in which comparative research on the maintenance of linguistic diversity was conducted with a wide range of multilingual minority communities across Europe.

Exploiting Two‐Photon Lithography, Deposition, and Processing to Realize Complex 3D Magnetic Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two‐photon lithography (TPL) enables 3D magnetic nanostructures with unmatched freedom in geometry and material choice. Advances in voxel control, deposition, and functionalization open pathways to artificial spin ices, racetracks, microrobots, and a number of additional technological applications.

In Situ Study of Resistive Switching in a Nitride‐Based Memristive Device

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In situ TEM biasing experiment demonstrates the volatile I‐V characteristic of MIM lamella device. In situ STEM‐EELS Ti L2/L3 ratio maps provide direct evidence of the oxygen vacancies migrations under positive/negative electrical bias, which is critical for revealing the RS mechanism for the MIM lamella device.

Minority Language Television in Europe: commonalities and differences between Regional Minority Languages and Immigrant Minority Languages

, 2012
Una mirada a la bibliografía sobre medios de comunicación y lenguas minorizadas en Europa pone de manifiesto que mientras algunos autores se centran en las llamadas Lenguas Minoritarias Regionales (RML) otros, particularmente en los últimos años, ponen el énfasis en las Lenguas Minoritarias de la Inmigración (IML).

Grain Boundary Space Charge Engineering of Solid Oxide Electrolytes: Model Thin Film Study

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates unprecedented control of grain boundary electrical properties in solid electrolytes. Selective diffusion of cations through grain boundaries in thin films enables 12 orders of magnitude variation in ionic resistance, proving that systematic chemical modification of grain boundary electrical properties is feasible.

Language Rights of Minority Language Speakers

Language rights are largely defined by international law. They can refer to individual and collective rights and take the form of non-interference or active support by the state. Through language rights, minorities seek to be granted the maintenance of their culture and language, receiving state-provided services and information in their own language ...

MINORITY LANGUAGES UNDER NAZI OCCUPATION

Scripta Neophilologica Posnaniensia, 2019
This paper discusses the special interest the Third Reich ideologues had for Germanic minority languages. In particular, the situation in Friesland, Flanders and Brittany is addressed. Moreover, it is made clear how German linguists from that period tried to annex Wallonia as an original Germanic area. Finally, the consequences of this cooperation with
