Science Education, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 1535-1567, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The assessment of Nigerian teachers' climate science literacy and training needs on climate change concepts (i.e., causes, impacts, and solutions) are absent. This study relates teachers' climate science literacy and their expressed training needs in other climate change concepts and places teachers in groups.

A Reputation Game Simulation: Emergent Social Phenomena from Information Theory
Annalen der Physik, Volume 534, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Sociophysical simulations of a reputation game are presented. The participating agents exchange honest or dishonest statements, which are about third agents or themselves, while trying to be perceived as being honest. Different social phases can be identified, in particular when malicious communication strategies are used.

A Computational Turn in Policy Process Studies: Coevolving Network Dynamics of Policy Change
Complexity, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The past three decades of policy process studies have seen the emergence of a clear intellectual lineage with regard to complexity. Implicitly or explicitly, scholars have employed complexity theory to examine the intricate dynamics of collective action in political contexts.

Sociophysics simulations III: retirement demography [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005 This third part of the lecture series deals with the question: Who will pay for your retirement? For Western Europe the answer may be ``nobody'', but for Algeria the demography looks more promising.

Sociophysics simulations I: language competition [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005 Using a bit-string model similar to biological simulations, the competition between different languages is simulated both without and with spatial structure. We compare our agent-based work with differential equations and the competing bit-string model of Kosmidis et al.

Information and Agreement in the Reputation Game Simulation
Entropy, 2022 Modern communication habits are largely shaped by the extensive use of social media and other online communication platforms. The enormous amount of available data and speed with which new information arises, however, often suffices to cause ...

An application of Linear Programming to sociophysics models [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper we consider a renowned stochastic model from sociophysics reported in [1, 2], which describes the diffusion of information by word-of-mouth processes.

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2021 Stylized facts appear in electoral processes worldwide, from Brazil to India. Here, we update a statistics carried on in Mexican elections but considering the inhomogeneities in electoral districts through the Nominal List (NL) (the list of valid ...
