Plane and Solid Geometry: A Note on Purity of Methods

November 2015

Traditional geometry concerns itself with planimetric and stereometric considerations, which are at the root of the division between plane and solid geometry. In this note (which is based on Arana and Mancosu. The Review of Symbolic Logic 5(2): 294–353, 2012), our major concern is with methodological issues of purity. In the first part we give a rough sketch of some key episodes in mathematical ... [Show full abstract] practice that relate to the interaction between plane and solid geometry. In the second part, we look at a late nineteenth century debate (“fusionism”) in which for the first time methodological and foundational issues related to aspects of the mathematical practice covered in the first part of the paper came to the fore. We conclude this part by remarking that only through an axiomatic and analytical effort could the issues raised by the debate on “fusionism” be made precise. The third part focuses on Hilbert’s axiomatic and foundational analysis of the plane version of Desargues’ theorem on homological triangles and its implications for the relationship between plane and solid geometry. Finally, building on the foundational case study analyzed in the third section, in the fourth and last section, we point the way to the analytic work necessary for exploring various important claims on “purity,” “content,” and other relevant notions.

Tenets of Community Leadership

January 2012

Local community leaders know what is needed in their communities. Interest in multilateral leadership is growing as communities aspire to more local control. This type of leadership employs structures and tools that benefit the collective good. This chapter presents five tenets of leadership that exemplify that focus on local control: transformation, communication, collaboration, planning, and ... [Show full abstract] integrity. A case study illustrates how these tenets have been applied in a real-world setting. These tenets are the foundation for a vision of leadership centered in the local community.

Evaluation Research on Nonviolent Action

January 1990

Neil Katz

As Gene Sharp has documented, nonviolent struggle has an Impressive, If often overlooked, history. Contemporary scholars are now beginning to research and discuss case studies of nonviolent action and the dynamics of nonviolent struggle. The latter literature focuses on how the strategy and tactics that each of the protagonists use help determine the oucomes in nonviolent action.

Q and the Beginning of Mark

October 1995 · New Testament Studies

Ismo Dunderberg

In two recent articles in New Testament Studies D. R. Catchpole and J. Lambrecht argue that Mark was familiar with Q while writing the introduction of his gospel. Consequently, they both use Mark as an additional tool in their reconstructions of the beginning of Q. In this study I shall focus on their evidence for this hypothesis in Mark 1.1–6. In the discussion of the relationship between Mark ... [Show full abstract] and Q this section is certainly not the most important one, but as a case study it illustrates dimensions of the larger problem.

Application of FEM to critical height of soil-nailing foundation pit

October 2008 · Yantu Lixue/Rock and Soil Mechanics

By using FEM, the critical height of soil-nailing foundation pit is studied; and the influential factors of critical height of soil-nailing foundation pit is analyzed too. The studying results indicate that the soil-nailing foundation pit has a critical height, the critical height of soil-nailing foundation pit is related to the ultimate bearing capacity of foundation; so through the solving ... [Show full abstract] thought of ultimate bearing capacity of foundation can get the result of the critical height of soil-nailing foundation pit; studying the influences and laws between the critical height and the chief parameters of soil-nailing foundation pit, comparing the result with the theoretical result from upper and lower solutions of soil plastic mechanics under the condition of homogeneous soil. The case studies verify that this method can fit each other well. A new idea for determining critical height of soil-nailing foundation pit is provided.

Critical Theory and Phenomenology

April 1973 · Telos

P. A. Rovatti

In this work I propose an interpretation of the Frankfurt School's findings in relation to developments in phenomenology, in terms of a reconsideration of the concept of “critique.” In the first section I contrast the two positions and, going beyond traditional interpretations, raise the critical problem of the foundation. In the second section I examine some theoretical positions of Horkheimer, ... [Show full abstract] Marcuse and Habermas; while the third section attempts a reevaluation of Marcuse's early phenomenological-existential writings, and in the fourth and final section I take up the theme of need as an exemplification of the disparity between ontology and phenomenology.

July 2017 · Journal of School Leadership

This qualitative case study explores the practices and tensions of being an effective principal in a turnaround school through an in-depth analysis of one principal who has been successful in several turnaround settings. Although principals have long been cited as foundational to a school's success, being the principal of a turnaround school is a significantly different enterprise than being a ... [Show full abstract] principal of a non-turnaround school. Newly appointed turnaround principals are expected not only to generate significant improvement in achievement in schools that have been low-achieving for many years, but to do so in a short period of time. To gain insight into the leadership practices of a principal who was successful in accomplishing school turnaround, we conducted interviews with 21 of the principal's current and past colleagues, observed her in practice, analyzed documents related to her leadership, and interviewed her three times. In this report, we describe her leadership practice and conclude that it was characterized by four dynamic tensions that resulted in the turnaround of the schools she led: • The tension between focusing on mission and focusing on personal connection; • The tension between high expectations and high trust and respect; • The tension between strong principal presence and strong staff presence; and • The tension between disrupting complacency and continuity. We conclude by arguing that a key to effective practice for turnaround principals lies in their creating ongoing dynamic tensions in their schools.

This chapter describes the course of action in the empirical case study work undertaken by the scholar in 2012 and 2013 to eventually identify management practices that support business unit managers in successfully realizing BMI. As suggested by EISENHARDT, information about the procedures of data collection and analysis is provided in order to enhance the readers’ confidence in the results’ ... [Show full abstract] validity. Figure 9 illustrates an overview of the four steps that comprise the case study work and that build upon the theoretical foundation established in chapter 2. The following sections explain each step in greater detail. Sections 3.1 through 3.3 elucidate the method pursued by the scholar to arrive at the five cases that have been subject to an in-depth study. Section 3.4 explicates how the findings have been induced from the cross-case analysis. Finally, section 3.5 summarizes how the scholar worked to ensure the validity and reliability of the case study findings.
