what american group was placed in internment camps? | After Pearl Harbor (the attack) the US gâ¦overnment believed that spies played a part in the attack (as they actually did). And fearing more attacks the Government sent Japanese Americans to camps called internment camps. This was nothing like concentration camps in WW2, these camps were built to keep them from passing on information to the Japanese Government and military. | In 1980, U. S. President Jimmy Carter signed legislation to create the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC). The CWRIC was appointed to conduct an official governmental study of Executive Order 9066, related wartime orders, and their impact on Japanese Americans in the West and Alaska Natives in the Pribilof Islands. | eng_Latn | 96,707 |
The passionate oxymoron in Romeo and Juliet | In the comedies of Shakespeare, all characters infatuated with one another see themselves as perfect embodiments of ‘true love.’ Love is true to the extent that the two partners in it are interested in each other exclusively and indifferent to intermediaries, go-betweens and third parties in general. ‘True love’ is the Elizabethan equivalent of what we call a great passion, an authentic passion, l’amour-toujours.

McCormack offers a summary of the relationship between translation theory and choreographic practice. Focusing on how the term translation has been used in choreographic discourse, she explores how theories located in translation studies might be borrowed and re-appropriated in order to understand the relationship between movement and source text in verbatim dance-theatre.

If a study wasn't set up correctly, then there can BE no 'correct' interpretation. This is especially common in drug testing. Often companies are in such a hurry to get a new drug on the shelf that they don't take all the precautions in setting up their studies that they probably should. For example, they don't conduct tests on as many people as they should, or they inadvertantly bias their data by not taking a random sample.

Best-Evidence Synthesis: An Alternative to Meta-Analytic and Traditional Reviews: | This paper proposes an alternative to both meta-analytic and traditional reviews. The method, “best-evidence synthesis,” combines the quantification of effect sizes and systematic study selection procedures of quantitative syntheses with the attention to individual studies and methodological and substantive issues typical of the best narrative reviews. Best-evidence syntheses focus on the “best evidence” in a field, the studies highest in internal and external validity, using well-specified and defended a priori inclusion criteria, and use effect size data as an adjunct to a full discussion of the literature being reviewed. | We compare how logit (fixed effects) and probit early warning systems (EWS) predict insample and out-of-sample currency crises in emerging markets (EMs). We look at episodes of currency crises that took place in 29 EMs between January 1995 and December 2012. Stronger real GDP growth rates and higher net foreign assets significantly reduce the probability of experiencing a currency crisis, while high levels of credit to the private sector increase it. We find that the logit and probit EWS out-of-sample performances are broadly similar, and that the EWS performance can be very sensitive both to the size of the estimation sample, and to the crisis definition employed. For macroeconomic policy purposes, we conclude that a currency crisis definition identifying more rather than less crisis episodes should be used, even if this may lead to the risk of issuing false alarms. | eng_Latn | 101,877 |
Can Good Events Lead to Bad Outcomes? Endogenous Banking Crises and Fiscal Policy Responses | In this paper, we study the impact of labor market restructuring and foreign direct investment on the banking sector, using a dynamic general equilibrium model with a financial sector. Numerical simulations are performed using stylized Chinese data, and banks failures are generated through increases in the growth rate of the labor force, a revaluation of the exchange rate or an increase in debt issue to finance the government deficit, as compared to a benchmark scenario in which banks remain solvent. Thus bank failures can result from what might seem to be either beneficial economic trends, or correct monetary and fiscal policies. We introduce fiscal policies that modify relative factor prices by lowering the capital tax rate and increasing the tax rate on labor. Such policies can prevent banking failures by raising the return to capital. It is shown that such fiscal policies are, in the short run, welfare reducing. | In Alan Greenspan's autobiography,1 he outlines his theory that the low inflation we saw through much of the time that he was chairman of the Federal Reserve was caused by a change in policy of the government of the People's Republic of China—it let the country folk come to town.

What practice is often used to bind different clans together? | Somali society is traditionally ethnically endogamous. So to extend ties of alliance, marriage is often to another ethnic Somali from a different clan. Thus, for example, a recent study observed that in 89 marriages contracted by men of the Dhulbahante clan, 55 (62%) were with women of Dhulbahante sub-clans other than those of their husbands; 30 (33.7%) were with women of surrounding clans of other clan families (Isaaq, 28; Hawiye, 3); and 3 (4.3%) were with women of other clans of the Darod clan family (Majerteen 2, Ogaden 1). | The 2004 election was the first to be affected by the campaign finance reforms mandated by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (also known as the McCain–Feingold Bill for its sponsors in the United States Senate).

Named for a section of the Internal Revenue Code, these groups were able to raise large amounts of money for various political causes as long as they do not coordinate their activities with political campaigns. Examples of 527s include Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, MoveOn.org, the Media Fund, and America Coming Together. Many such groups were active throughout the campaign season.

Designing and Teaching Business & Society Courses From a Threshold Concept Approach: | This article examines the redesign of an undergraduate course in Business & Society using a threshold concept approach. Business & Society courses may be troublesome for students because they depart from the premise that business is limited to creating value for shareholders. We argue that Business & Society courses contain a web of threshold concepts (i.e., ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability) that need to be understood in unison. The redesigned course should help students understand our threshold conception that business has social, environmental, and economic responsibilities that are interconnected and interdependent. This study shows that multiple, interconnected theoretical concepts can serve as threshold conceptions in certain disciplines. In addition, we also demonstrate that progressive assessments throughout the course as well as empirical methods can help instructors identify student evolution through the liminal space. | The Bible has penetrated the culture of English-speaking countries in many ways. From Robinson Crusoe who enchanted the middle classes at the beginning of the 18th century up to the Methodist hymns, from the struggles of the working-classes in the 19th century to the pop culture and feminist claims at the end of the 20th century, from the Mayflower pilgrims to the political speeches of today's United States, succeeding generations and different social classes borrow from the Bible its messages and images, its style and its vocabulary. Faced with this continuity and this diversity, a question arises: is the biblical text being used as an instrument for ideas which are foreign to it? Faced with cultural convictions and received models of social behaviour, is the text left on the contrary to act as a challenge, a source of unexpected inspiration?. | eng_Latn | 103,888 |

Striking stories: a political geography of euro coinage | Money is a powerful ideological messenger because of its omnipresence in everyday landscapes. Recent research on banknotes shows that images printed on money support the production and maintenance of national narratives, thus helping to legitimize power structures in the finest tradition of ‘‘banal nationalism.’’ We expand this scope by examining the carefully balanced coexistence of supranational cartography and national imagery on 120 euro coins. Our empirical study demonstrates the significance of metal money as a multi-faceted tool of political identity projects within the European Union.

Shetland has a rich history of craft work, including Fair Isle knitting and lace making. We contend that the value of cultural assets in contributing to the creative economy is underexamined and that there is a paucity of understanding of the innovative potential of craft and creative practitioners in the region. The insights presented are derived from Innovation from Tradition workshops, which aimed to reframe the creative economy within an island context, elicit knowledge surrounding local cultural assets and explore the innovative capabilities of creative practitioners. We reflect on how a design innovation approach allowed us to garner the collective wisdom held in communities and foreground the focal themes of practice, place and people. | eng_Latn | 103,900 |
The Perceiver’s Share (2): Deconstructive Musicology and Cognitive Science | It is now more than twenty years since Joseph Kerman published his much-cited essay ‘How we got into analysis, and how to get out’ (Kerman 1980). Significantly enough, it appeared in the US journal Critical Inquiry, which adopted as one of its principal aims the encouragement of inter-disciplinary exchange across the more usual, professionally defined boundaries of academic discourse. The emphasis was on textual-hermeneutic approaches that derived chiefly from post-1970 literary theory, but whose influence was then being felt in other fields, among them art-criticism, cultural history, and the social sciences. Kerman took up this challenge on behalf of the musicological profession, and in the process declared himself squarely at odds with most of its predominant values, priorities, and working methods. | Headspace techniques have been frequently used to study volatile components in foods.

Homecomings, Border Encounters and Hospitality: Alfred Shutz's and Jacques Derrida's Contributions to Conceptualizing a Transition from Prison: | The journey from prison towards desistance from crime is well recognised as challenging. This paper seeks to contribute to the transitions and desistance literature through a discussion of essays by Alfred Shutz and Jacques Derrida that deal with seemingly quite different subjects. Shutz writes of Strangers entering a new society and Homecomers returning; Derrida, of borders, singularity and hospitality. Their points of connection and significance, however, lie in Shutz‟s and Derrida‟s emphasis on the relational and what it means to be human. These emphases are highly pertinent to criminological understanding and practice. | ABSTRACT Neils Henrik Abel (1802–1829) is quoted as saying, “It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics one should study the masters.” In the spirit of Abel, the author introduced original sources into three different classroom situations. | eng_Latn | 103,903 |

Relevant sections of 120 biographies of outstanding leaders in the 20th Century were content coded using a life narrative framework. The results indicated that individuals evidencing a particular leadership type (charismatic, ideological, or pragmatic) and orientation (socialized or personalized) were linked to certain types of developmental events. Similarly, event content was found to vary between the leader styles. Specific kinds of experiences were also related to various indices of leader performance.

ABSTRACTInformal Science Learning (ISL) is a policy narrative of interest in the United Kingdom and abroad. This paper explores how a group of English secondary school science teachers, enacted ISL science clubs through employing the Periodic Table of Videos. It examines how these teachers ‘battled’ to enact ISL policy in performative conditions at the micro-scale, and how this battle reflected macro-scale epistemological and political considerations. Data from the study suggests that for some, ISL was low stakes as it was seen to have negligible impact upon performance data. As a result, there was some resistance towards enacting ISL and conflict between the formal and informal curriculum processes. Nonetheless, analysis indicates that the informants highly valued ISL despite the requirement for them to justify it over more formal and ‘effective’ approaches to learning science. | For many years, formal school science education has been criticised by students, teachers, parents and employers throughout the world. This article presents an argument that a greater collaboration between the formal and the informal sector could address some of these criticisms. The causes for concern about formal science education are summarised and the major approaches being taken to address them are outlined. The contributions that the informal sector currently makes to science education are identified. It is suggested that the provision of an effective science education entails an enhanced complementarity between the two sectors. Finally, there is a brief discussion of the collaboration and communication still needed if this is to be effective. | Berzelius failed to make use of Faraday's electrochemical laws in his laborious determination of equivalent weights. | eng_Latn | 103,942 |
This chapter seeks to address the theme of The Power of Geographical Thinking by investigating the concept of powerful knowledge, and how it can be used to identify geographical knowledge and thinking that could be considered powerful. The debate about powerful knowledge within geography education is advanced in two ways: first, by creating a typology of powerful geographical knowledge and second, by illustrating each type with examples that may make the concept clearer to geography educators. Five types of powerful knowledge in geography are identified. The strength of the argument developed here is in part tested by conducting a review of some of the criticisms of the concept of powerful knowledge advanced by geography educators. | Relational thinking is a necessary skill for building students’ individual capabilities and a core concept in geography education. Geographical relational thinking refers to being able to give interrelated, causal explanations for geographical phenomena such as regional change. The aim of this study was to gain more insight into differences in relational thinking between small groups of students working together on an assignment to explain a regional event which was framed as a geographical mystery. This insight could help teachers to advance students’ geographical relational thinking skills. Two geographical mysteries were examined with data from 69 small groups in Dutch upper secondary education. The two mysteries resulted in differences in the level of relational thinking, which were partly explained by small-groups’ on-task behaviour. Many student groups showed a low level of geographical relational thinking. Findings point to the need to incorporate exercises into geography lessons which require the use of thinking and reasoning with interrelated causal relationships. | Blunt trauma abdomen rarely leads to gastrointestinal injury in children and isolated gastric rupture is even rarer presentation.

Strong relationships established between schools and communities can improve the mathematical learning outcomes for Aboriginal students. The 2005-2006 Building Community Capacity project sought to identify key aspects of meaningful engagement between schools and communities focusing on the development and implementation of contextualised, relevant and connected mathematics curriculum and appropriate teaching and learning strategies to enhance Aboriginal students’ mathematics outcomes. Using case study methodology within two school sites in New South Wales, the paper identifies critical elements of community engagement and provides underlying principles, which other communities might consider in their own community capacity building. | This paper focuses on the social justice imperative to bring about improved mathematical learning outcomes for Aboriginal students. It provides comment whereby mathematics educators can appreciate more fully the context in which many Aboriginal students learn mathematics. Further, the paper reports on five mathematics education case study projects initiated by educational systems working collaboratively with Aboriginal communities. It examines each program using seven constructs: social justice; empowerment; engagement; reconciliation; self-determination; connectedness; and relevance. As an outcome, possible roles and responsibilities of mathematics educators for working collaboratively with Aboriginal communities to provide appropriate mathematics pedagogy for Aboriginal students are identified. | Berzelius failed to make use of Faraday's electrochemical laws in his laborious determination of equivalent weights. | eng_Latn | 103,951 |

The current study examines the personal epistemology of fourth-grade elementary school teachers from Germany (n = 10) and the United States (n = 10) to gain a more nuanced understanding of teachers’ beliefs about knowledge and knowing through a cross-cultural lens. Analyses of semi-structured interviews reveal similarities and differences in the statements of teachers. Four themes are identified: The majority of teachers believed that (a) knowing is uncertain and (b) knowledge has domain-specific qualities; (c) U.S. teachers seemed to view knowledge more as being embedded within their community, while (d) German teachers discussed more internal knowledge sources. The general discussion includes possible cross-cultural explanations for these four emerging themes and points tentatively to developmental issues stemming from uncertainty beliefs. Conceptual and educational implications are discussed and suggestions for future research are given. | This paper examines the conceptualization and measurement of epistemological and ontological phenomena and makes recommendations for improving the conceptual framework and methodological assessment of these phenomena. I discuss the ways educational researchers have studied beliefs and how this research can be improved through a comprehensive conceptual framework and better measurement. This paper provides definitions of epistemological and ontological beliefs and world views, discusses six complementary strategies for assessing these beliefs, compares the strengths of these strategies, and provides examples of how they have been used in the research literature. This paper discusses challenges related to the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework for beliefs, as well as ways to improve measurement of these beliefs and summarizes six emergent themes. | It is shown that the understanding of documents in general and of line drawings in particular can be seen as a first step towards the the understanding of arbitrary scenes by making effective use of methods from artificial intelligence. The starting point is a set of domain-independent linear image primitives which define a line graph. After the removal of artifacts the recognition of meaningful complex structures is accomplished in several steps with the aid of a growing amount of domain-specific knowledge. Further scene knowledge controls the deployment of the various operators to arrive at a consistent interpretation throughout the scene.

This chapter examines the change from education for developing high-level manpower, to universal primary education; what have been the implications for mathematics education; and what international co-operation in mathematics education has achieved. Decolonization changed the lives of most of the world’s inhabitants, allowing them to demand education. The comparative small percentage of students studying school mathematics, changed to the majority of school-aged children being in school. The mathematics programmes were no longer adequate and needed to be improved. The work in mathematics education of UNESCO, ICMI and its affiliates, and other mathematics education groups and institutions is examined. Their role in international co-operation is examined, giving an example of the interactions of this co-operation in one country in Africa. Finally an opinion is given of the likely future of world wide cooperation in mathematics education. | In mathematics education research, English has become the lingua franca in many situations. There are many advantages of having a lingua franca within such a diverse community. However in this paper, it is argued that the practices that are most affected by the need for a lingua franca, such as conference attendance and the writing of journal articles, also contribute to mathematics education research becoming monocultural, both in what is researched and how it is reported. Fictional dialogues are used to explore the construction of this monocultural nature of mathematics education research. In considering the collective praxis of researchers in this field, there is a need to identify the constraints on our possibilities for participating in those practices, along with the ways that those possibilities are affected by our participation. In this way, we not only begin a dialogue on these issues but have the possibility to locate other ways of participating. | ABSTRACTUNC-45A is an ubiquitously expressed protein highly conserved throughout evolution.

Opening up pathways : engagement in STEM across the primary-secondary school transition | A review of the literature concerning supports and barriers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics engagement at Primary-Secondary transition. Commissioned by the Australian Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. | Sciences and technology study and technological jobs are deserted by girls. Many measurements were set up in the study to find an issue. But not enough researches learn over this question as part of education study, in other words on the process of transmission. Indeed they ignore for instance, if certain contents, certain types of activities, certain forms of studies, certain gestures of education and scholastic shapes are better adapted to the girls than to the boys and conversely. This article is centred on these aspects and more precisely on artefacts used to mediatise the education of technology.

Educational research, democracy and praxis | Dominant approaches to educational research rarely examine the philosophical underpinnings, specifically epistemological and ontological assumptions, in relation to the research process. Usher argues that the failure to examine these assumptions leads to research being understood as a 'technology', as simply a set of methods, skills and procedures applied to a given research problem. I argue that when research is understood in Usher's terms as a 'technology', it serves only the status quo and does not enable us to interact and transform society. In this article I critically examine different research approaches in terms of their potential to contribute to transformation of societies. I argue that instead of educational research merely contributing to social change it can be a process of change itself. Additionally, I raise challenges for educational research in South Africa and elsewhere, in the context of processes of globalisation and internationalisation currently prevalent. | This literature review was carried out as part of the Future Library project.

Homework and fieldwork: investigations into the rhetoric–reality gap in environmental education research and pedagogy | For years, environmental educators have been arguing that the culture of schooling (mostly focused on cultural reproduction) is antithetical to environmental education. Within this context, it is often suggested that environmental education occurs when there is a particularly passionate and motivated teacher who, despite frequent barriers, maintains environmental education as a priority. Yet the author’s doctoral research suggests that even strong beliefs, significant skills, and an ideal program structure do not lead to the implementation of effective environmental education. Drawing on narrative inquiry, arts‐based research and poststructural analysis, this study examines ways in which the privileging of the intellect in research and pedagogy may be making effective environmental education almost impossible. | Purpose – This article aims to outline the scope of this Special Issue and of the six papers.Design/methodology/approach – The paper outlines the concepts and approaches within the knowledge domain which are the focus of the present issue and themes of the papers.Findings – The paper outlines the scope of the Special Issue and of the papers.Originality/value – The value of this paper is to introduce the concepts and approaches which are the focus of the present issue and themes of the papers. | eng_Latn | 104,084 |

Implementing the New Zealand science curriculum: will there be a change of state? | [Extract] The results from New Zealand's participation in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) have revealed the disturbing level of science achievement by New Zealand Form 2 and Form 3 students and associated concerns with science programme delivery in general. An evaluation of the teachers who participated in TIMSS suggests that a disturbing portion of Form 2 teachers (and primary teachers in general) expressed a lack of confidence in their ability to teach science as a consequence of limited formal science learning experiences.

Shifting Sands: Why Pedagogical Research In Higher Education Matters To Us All | The validity and relevance of Higher Education is being challenged by the marketisation, value for money and negative discourse of educational relevance within society leading to ever-increasing pressure and opportunity for us to scrutinise, discuss and interrogate the purpose of teaching in HE. Since it is only through researching our pedagogic practice that we will be able to confidently respond to, and inform, the ever changing ‘shifting sands’ of the HE landscape. As we look forward we must better articulate the benefit and impact of our pedagogical research both within and beyond the sector, strengthening our collective insights and findings to further understand current and emergent teaching and learning challenges. By encouraging a wider discourse across all forms of HE pedagogic research, we will be able to confidently respond to, and inform, the ever-changing ‘shifting sands’ of the HE landscape. | A mathematical modelling study assesses the role of peer behaviour and ‘herding’ behaviour in aggregating information through the peer-review process; peer review works best when reviewers exercise intermediate levels of subjectivity. | eng_Latn | 104,136 |
Interactionism, Social Organization, and Social Processes: Looking Back and Moving Ahead | With its roots in American pragmatism, symbolic interactionism has created a distinctive perspective and produced numerous important contributions and now offers signie cant prospects for the future. In this article, I review my intellectual journey with this perspective over forty years. This journey was initiated within the American society, sociology, and symbolic interaction of circa 1960. I note many of the contributions made by interactionists since that time, with particular focus on those who have contributed to the study of social organization and social process. I offer an agenda for the future based on currently underdeveloped areas that have potential. These are inequality orders, institutional analysis, collective action across space and time, and the integration of temporal and spatial orders. The article concludes with calls for further efforts at cross-perspective dialogues, more attention to feminist scholars, and an elaborated critical pragmatism. | 1.

Science Teacher Professional Development for Inclusive Practice | Most subject teachers are not specifically educated for inclusion. Inclusive practice at classroom level remains a blind spot. This case study provides insight into the inclusive practice of two science teachers by video-based participant observation and then uses the data as a basis for professional development. The videos were recorded in an inquiry-based science class of an urban “inclusive middle school” in Austria. The two science teachers of this class reflected upon their own instruction. Three more science teachers reflected upon the others’ teaching. The focus of the study was on what the teachers noticed and reasoned as they viewed the videos. The reflective sessions were audiotaped. Grounded Theory was used to analyze and compare the data. Surprisingly, the results show that inclusion was not often addressed and it was especially difficult to discover in others’ teaching; however, implicit connections to inclusive, but not subject-specific teaching principles, can be drawn. | AbstractThis systematic review extends the boundary of prior reviews in the environmental education (EE) field by analyzing publications focused on Latin America and the Caribbean (LATAM).

[Schistocytes: which definition should be taken and which method should be used to identify and count them?]. | Schistocytes result from red cell fragmentation. The identification of the schistocytes is critical for appropriate management of the patients. We report the results of a survey about the determination of schistocytes. The analysis of the answers of 24 well-trained biologists points out the different approaches used to count these cells, and the urgent need for guidelines to identify and enumerate them. | This study examined to what extent a curriculum module that uses animal and human health scientists and science concepts to portray science and scientists in a relevant and authentic manner could enhance elementary students' aspiration for science careers, attitudes to science, positive perceptions of scientists, and perceived relevance of science. The curriculum was developed by a research-based university program and has been put into practice in two early elementary classrooms in an urban school in the Midwest. An attitudinal rating survey and the Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) were used to assess pre to post changes in student attitudes toward science, perceptions of scientists, perceived relevance of science, and aspiration for science careers. Findings indicated that the implementation of this curriculum contributed positively to student attitudes toward science, decreased students' stereotypical images of scientists, and increased student aspirations to become a scientist. | eng_Latn | 104,190 |
A Multi-arts Creative Approach to Music Education: Its Impact on Generalist Primary Teacher Education Students' Confidence and Competence to Teach Music | Several reviews of music education have lamented the poor standard of music curriculum delivery in many primary schools. Among the reasons cited is the low confidence and competence levels of teachers to deliver music. This is often attributed to both the content and teaching styles of generalist primary teacher education courses in music. This paper reports on a qualitative study which investigated how participation in a multi-disciplinary performing arts group creative project impacted on generalist primary teacher education students' perceptions of their own ability in music and their ability to teach music. Student responses suggested it is possible to significantly enhance confidence and competence in one arts discipline (in this case music) through a multi-arts approach. There could be considerable merit in incorporating a project such as the one in this study into generalist primary teacher arts education courses. | How can we develop and evaluate contextual cultural learning through exploration and participation in a virtual heritage environment? This article discusses one way of evaluating cultural learning, through measuring the cultural understanding of participants who learn about the same environments but via different methods of interaction (observation, social instruction, and activity-based exploration). Task performance, understanding of local cultural practices, memory of what was written and memory of events and objects, were recorded. Issues arising from the chosen internet-based technology, and how these issues could have been avoided, will also be discussed. | eng_Latn | 104,203 |
What does the greek model of parallel support have to say about co-teaching?☆ | Abstract Parallel Support (PS) is a co-teaching program designed to deliver education services in inclusive settings in Greece. In this quantitative study, 236 special education PS teachers from six major educational regions participated in a survey. The findings indicate that PS is similar to the One Teach, One Assist approach, constituting a static model, which typically provides services to one or two students with disabilities. Deeper cultural characteristics of the Greek educational system may shape the PS's peculiarities. In our transcultural hypothesis, the PS model is a compromise between a highly demanding collaborative approach and a pre-existing low collaboration school culture. | In this paper, we consider the geodesic flow on factors of the hyperbolic plane.

Political Pluralism and the Information Search: Determinants of Group Opinionation | It is a necessary condition that people have an opinion about groups before they can use groups to help make sense of the political world. Beyond individual resources and motivation, the strength of social ties and amount of agreement within networks situated within more or less supportive social contexts affect whether individuals seek out and receive information about groups sufficient to form an opinion of them. The author tests this argument with a sample of Republican primary voters in order to address the implications for the place of interest groups in society and the study of social interaction. | Under the new circ um stances,the working conditions of undergraduates have changed tremendously,and t he students' work is confronted with new challenges.How to strengthen and improv e the college students' ideological and political work has become a top priority task in colleges.This paper mainly studies the issue by analyzing its changing conditions,updating the educational concepts,es-tablishing the ideological conc ept of taking the students as the dominant factor,strengthening the cultural est ablishment of colleges,and adhering to keeping with the times,opening up and inn ovating. | eng_Latn | 104,211 |
A Conversation About A/r/tography: What Are the Qualities of Living Inquiry That Foster a Qualitative Whole in Art Education? | With an a/r/tographic lens, this study renders the journey of five art educators, their first memory of art-related experiences, paths to art education, and teaching through living inquiry. Teachers in this study have had extensive experience as leaders in multiple arts curriculum movements across time and programs. They reflect on art content to examine their own experiences in relation to art practice, evidence provided by high school students, their students’ artwork, and historical art references. Key themes emerged concerning how experiences influence and are embodied in beliefs, understandings, and decision-making for our classrooms; how conversations can provide a stimulus for reflection; how thinking about the arts invites ambiguity in understanding; and how curriculum that addresses abstract concepts and thinking skills invites student engagement in inquiry, learning, and being awake to possibilities. | It has been argued that foundation ::: funding has distorted methods in American sociology in the direction of quantification. ::: This argument rests on a number of assumptions, of which the key one is that in the ::: absence of such funding, method would have developed differently.

Creationism, Scientism, Christianity and Science: A Study in Adolescent Attitudes. | Abstract Both religious educators and science educators show concern for the development of positive pupil attitudes towards their respective curriculum areas, both as an educational objective in its own right and as a key predisposition for realising other educational objectives. While growing bodies of research have charted the personal, social, environmental and curriculum correlates of the development of attitudes towards science and religion, little attention has been given to the empirical relationship between these two attitudinal areas. This is surprising given the vast theoretical debate on the relationship between science and religion. In the present study attitude towards Christianity and interest in science are measured among a sample of 729 16‐18 year olds in Scotland. The data demonstrate a significant negative correlation between attitude towards Christianity and interest in science. Path analysis is then employed to explore the antecedents of this observed relationship.

Business & Society courses may be troublesome for students because they depart from the premise that business is limited to creating value for shareholders. We argue that Business & Society courses contain a web of threshold concepts (i.e., ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability) that need to be understood in unison. The redesigned course should help students understand our threshold conception that business has social, environmental, and economic responsibilities that are interconnected and interdependent. This study shows that multiple, interconnected theoretical concepts can serve as threshold conceptions in certain disciplines. In addition, we also demonstrate that progressive assessments throughout the course as well as empirical methods can help instructors identify student evolution through the liminal space. | eng_Latn | 104,223 |

The segregation of science writing means that articles in those subjects primarily appear where? | As advances and specialization have made new scientific research inaccessible to most audiences, the "literary" nature of science writing has become less pronounced over the last two centuries. Now, science appears mostly in journals. Scientific works of Aristotle, Copernicus, and Newton still exhibit great value, but since the science in them has largely become outdated, they no longer serve for scientific instruction. Yet, they remain too technical to sit well in most programmes of literary study.

We know Hogsmeade is the only all-wizard town in Britain. So wouldn't some students' family live there? Not only is it a nice all-wizard place to live, but you would see your kids during Hogsmeade weekends. So why do we never hear about relatives living there? | Hogsmeade has a lot of individuals who live there, and it has the distinction of being the only non-muggle community in the UK. Are there any students at Hogwarts who live there during the summer? I ask because explicitly says that students must ride the train or not go to the school at all, which seems silly for someone who already lives at the destination. Many pure-blood families were outraged at the idea of their children using Muggle transport, which they claimed was unsafe, insanitary and demeaning; however, as the Ministry decreed that students either rode the train or did not attend school, the objections were swiftly silenced. | I always wondered if children who graduate from Hogwarts have an education that is actually worth while in the real world. Do the children learn math and English? I can see History of Magic as practical. I know of Arithmancy, but that's the study of the magical properties of numbers, not math. Since Hogsmead is one of the very last all-magical towns, it's a fair assumption that a majority of the students at Hogwarts will be living in non-magical towns or cities. If practical classes (like math or English) aren't taught, then how do these students function in the non-magical cities? | eng_Latn | 104,284 |
What can refer to the study of patterns in human cultures? | Kinship can refer both to the study of the patterns of social relationships in one or more human cultures, or it can refer to the patterns of social relationships themselves. Over its history, anthropology has developed a number of related concepts and terms, such as "descent", "descent groups", "lineages", "affines", "cognates", and even "fictive kinship". Broadly, kinship patterns may be considered to include people related both by descent (one's social relations during development), and also relatives by marriage. | Waitz was influential among the British ethnologists. In 1863 the explorer Richard Francis Burton and the speech therapist James Hunt broke away from the Ethnological Society of London to form the Anthropological Society of London, which henceforward would follow the path of the new anthropology rather than just ethnology. It was the 2nd society dedicated to general anthropology in existence. Representatives from the French Société were present, though not Broca. In his keynote address, printed in the first volume of its new publication, The Anthropological Review, Hunt stressed the work of Waitz, adopting his definitions as a standard.[n 5] Among the first associates were the young Edward Burnett Tylor, inventor of cultural anthropology, and his brother Alfred Tylor, a geologist. Previously Edward had referred to himself as an ethnologist; subsequently, an anthropologist. | eng_Latn | 104,294 |
How does an someone interested in ethnohistory learn more about cultures and customs? | Ethnohistory is the study of ethnographic cultures and indigenous customs by examining historical records. It is also the study of the history of various ethnic groups that may or may not exist today. Ethnohistory uses both historical and ethnographic data as its foundation. Its historical methods and materials go beyond the standard use of documents and manuscripts. Practitioners recognize the utility of such source material as maps, music, paintings, photography, folklore, oral tradition, site exploration, archaeological materials, museum collections, enduring customs, language, and place names. | Parallel with the growth of specialized agencies for conducting or supporting statescraft in the second half of the 20th century has been the collection of resources for scholarship and research typically in university settings.

What type of anthropology describes the workings of societies around the world? | Anthropology is the study of humans and their societies in the past and present. Its main subdivisions are social anthropology and cultural anthropology, which describes the workings of societies around the world, linguistic anthropology, which investigates the influence of language in social life, and biological or physical anthropology, which concerns long-term development of the human organism. Archaeology, which studies past human cultures through investigation of physical evidence, is thought of as a branch of anthropology in the United States, while in Europe, it is viewed as a discipline in its own right, or grouped under other related disciplines such as history. | Sociologist Rodney Stark states that Jehovah's Witness leaders are "not always very democratic" and that members "are expected to conform to rather strict standards," but adds that "enforcement tends to be very informal, sustained by the close bonds of friendship within the group", and that Jehovah's Witnesses see themselves as "part of the power structure rather than subject to it." Sociologist Andrew Holden states that most members who join millenarian movements such as Jehovah's Witnesses have made an informed choice. However, he also states that defectors "are seldom allowed a dignified exit", and describes the administration as autocratic. | eng_Latn | 104,306 |
What term did Habermas give to describe the areas of political/social knowledge and discussion that were previously exlusive territory of the state and religious authorities? | One of the primary elements of the culture of the Enlightenment was the rise of the public sphere, a "realm of communication marked by new arenas of debate, more open and accessible forms of urban public space and sociability, and an explosion of print culture," in the late 17th century and 18th century. Elements of the public sphere included: it was egalitarian, it discussed the domain of "common concern," and argument was founded on reason. Habermas uses the term "common concern" to describe those areas of political/social knowledge and discussion that were previously the exclusive territory of the state and religious authorities, now open to critical examination by the public sphere. The values of this bourgeois public sphere included holding reason to be supreme, considering everything to be open to criticism (the public sphere is critical), and the opposition of secrecy of all sorts. | In The Sensory Order: An Inquiry into the Foundations of Theoretical Psychology (1952), Hayek independently developed a "Hebbian learning" model of learning and memory – an idea which he first conceived in 1920, prior to his study of economics.
