It shows how introducing linguistic landscape exploration into the curriculum can support learners to read beyond words and to build critical understandings of intersections between words and worlds. The chapter explores data from two case studies in different educational contexts. The first study shows the effects of scaffolding in-service languages teachers to learn to read their worlds from multiple perspectives. The second study illustrates the types of insights that can emerge from school EFL learners when they explore the linguistic landscapes of worlds beyond their classrooms.}, language = {en} } @article{NishikawaMizunoGomezetal.2019, author = {Nishikawa, Ken-Ichi and Mizuno, Yosuke and Gomez, Jose L. and Duţan, Ioana and Meli, Athina and Niemiec, Jacek and Kobzar, Oleh and Pohl, Martin and Sol, H{\´e}l{\`e}ne and MacDonald, Nicholas and Hartmann, Dieter H.}, title = {Relativistic jet simulations of the weibel instability in the slab model to cylindrical jets with helical magnetic fields}, series = {Galaxies : open access journal}, volume = {7}, journal = {Galaxies : open access journal}, number = {1}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2075-4434}, doi = {10.3390/galaxies7010029}, pages = {20}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The particle-in-cell (PIC) method was developed to investigate microscopic phenomena, and with the advances in computing power, newly developed codes have been used for several fields, such as astrophysical, magnetospheric, and solar plasmas. PIC applications have grown extensively, with large computing powers available on supercomputers such as Pleiades and Blue Waters in the US. For astrophysical plasma research, PIC methods have been utilized for several topics, such as reconnection, pulsar dynamics, non-relativistic shocks, relativistic shocks, and relativistic jets. PIC simulations of relativistic jets have been reviewed with emphasis placed on the physics involved in the simulations. This review summarizes PIC simulations, starting with the Weibel instability in slab models of jets, and then focuses on global jet evolution in helical magnetic field geometry. In particular, we address kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities and mushroom instabilities.}, language = {en} }
