Nature and Culture as Human Spaces

September 2015 · Studia Philosophica Estonica

Thomas C. J. Storck

Using Tõnu Viik's statement of the relationship between philosophy and culture as a framework, after discussing both nature and world, I investigate how culture affects the ways human beings live in nature and the world, then the implications of living in culture for philosophy and human knowledge, and finally the philosophy of culture, what it is or might be and its place as a focal point for a ...

CYCLING AMONG 11-14 YEAR OLDS IN BOLTON.

October 1985

Increased cycling demand, and associated accidents, have revealed a need for more information about cycling habits. In this paper the 11-14 year age group, comprising those most at risk, has been studied. Although much cycling by these children may take place off-highway it must influence their on-road cycling behavior. The study has attempted to elicit basic information about the nature of ...

The Breeding-Back of the Aurochs

September 1951 · Oryx

Heinz Heck

Every lover of nature regrets that man has exterminated so many kinds of animals or that these have lost their means of living and become extinct through changes brought about on the earth's surface to meet Man's increasing needs.

Two theorems about C_2 and some more

March 2016 · Molecular Physics

The story of C_2 continues to fascinate chemists spinning around a possibility of quadruple bonds for p-elements and discussing a wealth of options for the nature of an unconventional fourth bond. This led to lively discussions about the ways of counting or measuring bonds, and the interplay between the bond strength (energy), its length, and rigidity/stiffness (elasticity). Even old concerns ... [Show full abstract] about the possibility of theorems in chemistry and thus of the place of chemistry among ‘true’ sciences had been revived. We show that under some mild conditions certain exact statements (lemmas and theorems) about the C_2 molecule can be relatively easily proven which, if not resolves the controversy entirely, at least provides some theoretical reference points to the discussion. Some more general consequences from this experience are discussed as well.

The Modest College and the Imperial University

January 2013

Robert C. Koons

To understand the ethos of a people, examine their system of education. Educating the young is an essential human act, and in the institutions of a society we can see most clearly the people’s aspirations, their conception of our ultimate end, and their fundamental beliefs about human nature and our place in the cosmos.

What Is Science? A Historian’s Perplexities

April 2015 · Mètode Revista de difusió de la investigació

Patricia Fara

What is science? This deceptively straightforward question has no single answer, because science is culturally situated, and so has neither a permanent nor a universal meaning. Because modern scientific practices have different histories, they vary from place to place. The significance of science also changes over time, although current understandings are often misleadingly extended to cover the ... [Show full abstract] past. Science continues to change, and the science of the future may well be very different from the science of the present.

The World-wide Spread of X-ray Diffraction Methods

January 1962

P. P. Ewald

In the foregoing chapters the development of centres and schools of X-ray diffraction has been described in some detail for the leading countries. Early work has, however, not been restricted to these countries, and the spread of the application of these methods to new countries and to new laboratories took place in the twenty years between the wars and continues today at an even increased rate. ... [Show full abstract] This is a natural development for a method of such general importance for problems in many sciences and in technology, and the present chapter can not and need not go into the often repetitive detail of the development in all countries.

Customer loyalty and service brands

January 2006

We saw in the previous chapter that when an organization offers a brand to its customers it is in effect extending a promise to them. What is the nature of this promise? Nothing less than a pledge to improve their lives in some significant way.

The Ideal Hypothesis

January 1989

Roger D. Gallie

We have already met with one doctrine which must surely count as being a crucial ingredient of what Reid refers to as the ideal hypothesis, namely the doctrine that conceptions or notions are (faint) copies of the ideas we receive in perception or in an emotional state and which are called impressions by Hume. And we saw in the first chapter that that doctrine at the very least needed some ... [Show full abstract] clarification. Now surely it is time to begin a reply to the perfectly natural question, namely, what the ideal hypothesis is, as far as Reid is concerned.

Epilogue: An Unfi nished Bildungsroman

January 2007

Yibing Huang

So, we have reached the end of the book. The End. But it is not fi nished. If the current book was originally perceived as a new bildungsroman of a generation of “new men,” “orphans of history,” and “cultural bastards” originating in the Cultural Revolution, in the end, we need to admit its unfi nished nature.

New Age Personnel — Quality Service Delivery in Changing Times

June 1994 · Public Personnel Management

Stephen C. Benowitz

Many organizations must re-evaluate the manner in which personnel services are delivered to customers. Growing demands and increasing responsibilities placed on personnel offices have changed the nature of their work. Fiscal constraints have led to cutbacks in available staff to meet these needs. Larger organizations may have to re-evaluate the structure and responsibilities of centralized vs. ... [Show full abstract] decentralized systems. The National institutes of Health (NTH) is a large organization (19,000 employees) with a decentralized personnel services program. New responsibilities placed on the program (e.g., ethics, federal government recruitment and hiring regulations) and reduced resources have led to a re-examination of the services that customers need most, and of the level of the organization that is most effective in providing the service. Using focus groups, NIH identified a number of critical areas of personnel service delivery; me ten most critical are being reviewed by TQM teams. Each team will recommend the most appropriate organizational level to provide the service and will identify ways to simplify procedures (including automation) for both personnel offices and customers. This article will discuss the approach used at NTH and provide information on the results that have been accomplished to date.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko: ideological performer between East and West

November 2015

Enza Dammiano

Yevgeny Yevtushenko can be considered one of the most representative poets of the post-Stalin generation. As an interpreter of the cultural needs of the younger generations during the De-Stalinization and the Khrushchev era, Yevtushenko is placed on both sides of that curtain that divides the world into opposing blocs. The paper aims at investigating the deployment of Yevtushenko's poetry, with ... [Show full abstract] references to his autobiographical writings (Autobiografija, in particular) and to its role of ideological performer and interpreter of the historical and cultural 'thaw'.
