The Evolution of Religion Religiosity and Theology A Multi-Level and Multi-Disciplinary Approach

The Evolution of Religion Religiosity and Theology A Multi-Level and Multi-Disciplinary Approach

This book takes a multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary approach to religion religiosity and theology from their earliest beginnings to the present day. It uniquely brings together the natural sciences and theology to explore how religious practice emerged and developed through the four sections into which the book is organized: Evolutionary biology; Philosophical linguistics psychology and neuroscience; Theology and Anthropology. The volume features an international panel of contributors who develop an innovative picture of religion as a culturally-created social institution; religiosity as a more personal and subjective anthropological element of people expressed through religion; and theology as the study of god. To survive in changing times living systems — a good characterization of religion religiosity and theology — all must adaptively evolve. This is a vital study of a rapidly burgeoning field. As such it will be of great interest to scholars in religious studies and theology as well as in the psychological sociological and anthropological study of religion. | The Evolution of Religion Religiosity and Theology A Multi-Level and Multi-Disciplinary Approach

Museum Storage and Meaning Tales from the Crypt

Museum Storage and Meaning Tales from the Crypt

Beyond their often beautiful exhibition halls many museums contain vast hidden spaces in which objects may be stored conserved or processed. Museums can also include unseen archives study rooms and libraries which are inaccessible to the public. This collection of essays focuses on this domain an area that has hitherto received little attention. Divided into four sections the book critically examines the physical space of museum storage areas the fluctuating historical fortunes of exhibits the growing phenomenon of publicly visible storage and the politics of objects deemed worthy of collection but unsuitable for display. In doing so it explores issues including the relationship between storage and canonization the politics of collecting the use of museum storage as a form of censorship the architectural character of storage space and the economic and epistemic value of museum objects. Essay contributions come from a broad combination of museum directors curators archaeologists historians and other academics. | Museum Storage and Meaning Tales from the Crypt

Understanding Globalization A Multi-Dimensional Approach

Understanding Globalization A Multi-Dimensional Approach

This book discusses eight dimensions of globalization world order culture the state information technology economics production development and Bretton Woods Institutions from the perspective of four diverse sociological paradigms: functionalist interpretive radical humanist and radical structuralist. This multi-perspective approach forces readers to abandon their preconcieved assumptions and allows them the opportunity to view globalization through new eyes. Kavous Ardalan argues that social theory can usefully be conceived in terms of these four key paradigms because each one is founded upon different assumptions about the nature of social science and each one generates useful theories concepts and analytical tools. This method facilitates distancing from one's favored paradigm and appreciating other available approaches to better understand social phenomena. The knowledge of paradigms increases awareness of the boundaries and limitations of each individual paradigm. While most books on the topic focus on particular aspects of globalization from specific viewpoints this fair and unbiased volume provides readers with a balanced understanding of globalization. | Understanding Globalization A Multi-Dimensional Approach

Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Of the many issues facing special education (and general education) today it is difficult to imagine one more important or timely than response to intervention (RTI). Almost overnight RTI has become standard practice across the nation. Unfortunately RTI remains ill-defined falls far short of its evidence-based practice goal is almost invariably misused and often results in more harm than good. Nevertheless as a conceptual framework RTI has great potential for ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate evidence-based instruction. The mission of this handbook is to present a comprehensive and integrated discussion of response to intervention (RTI) and its relation to multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in both special education and general education. Although the two terms are currently used interchangeably distinct differences exist between them. Therefore chapters are dedicated to distinguishing the two concepts—RTI and MTSS—and describing each one’s unique role in both general and special education. In addition the authors recommend a third term Multi-Tiered Instruction to differentiate the practices related to the purpose of the specific intervention. | Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Psychoanalytic Defense Mechanisms in Cognitive Multi-Agent Systems

Psychoanalytic Defense Mechanisms in Cognitive Multi-Agent Systems

Human cognitive processes and defense mechanisms as described in psychoanalysis bring about new notions and paradigms for artificial intelligence systems. One key reason is that the human cognitive processes and defense mechanisms in question can accomplish conflict detection functionalities filter functionalities and other system stabilizing tasks within artificial intelligence systems. Yet artificial cognitive architectures lack the capability to analyze complex situations as well as the universal competencies needed to orientate themselves in complex environments in various domains. Psychoanalytic Defense Mechanisms in Cognitive Multi-Agent Systems addresses this dilemma by exploring how to describe model and implement psychoanalytic defense mechanisms in the course of a project that provides a functional model of the human mind. With discussions focusing on the development of a mathematical description for the implementation of conflict detection the activation and selection of defense mechanisms and the processing of defense mechanisms Psychoanalytic Defense Mechanisms in Cognitive Multi-Agent Systems describes the decisive points for the application of defense mechanisms in artificial intelligence. Formulae that treat defense mechanisms as transformations are also provided. Interdisciplinary cooperation between the scientific fields of psychoanalysis and artificial intelligence is highlighted as the foundation of new research findings throughout the book. Innovative and exciting this book will be of great interest to academics researchers and postgraduates in the fields of cognitive science artificial intelligence and psychoanalysis.

International Business Multi-Nationals and the Nationality of the Company

International Business Multi-Nationals and the Nationality of the Company

This book discusses challenges that arise for multinational companies from not having a single ‘nationality’ and being exposed to a variety of simultaneous country-specific legally and culturally constructed nationalities at home and abroad. Brexit America First campaigns Russia’s war against Ukraine or the ever-tenser relationship between China and the US have led to raising concerns about foreign direct investments. Multinational companies are pressured to withdraw from countries and reorganise global value chains. The long-held confidence that ‘nationality’ does not matter for multinational companies in the globalised economy has dwindled. Today companies doing business abroad are exposed to implications of their ‘nationality’ because governments and customers react upon the ‘nationality’ of a firm or a product as they did in the 20th century. The chapters in this book address many international business domains covering political risk liability of foreignness cultural distance headquarters change and tax planning. They use different methodological approaches to analyse European and US-based MNEs in Europe Africa and South-East Asia from 1900 to 1980. The book argues that ‘nationality’ is not a ghost from the past in international business it is a topic that requires substantial consideration. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Business History. | International Business Multi-Nationals and the Nationality of the Company
