Imagined communities: Reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism

Our possessions are a major contributor to and reflection of our identities A variety of evidence is presented supporting this simple and compelling premise Related streams of research are identified and drawn upon in developing this concept and implications are derived for consumer behavior Because the construct of extended self involves consumer behavior rather than buyer behavior, it appears to be a much richer construct than previous formulations positing a relationship between self-concept and consumer brand choice

We may not be able to make you love reading, but archaeology of knowledge will lead you to love reading starting from now. Book is the window to open the new world. The world that you want is in the better stage and level. World will always guide you to even the prestige stage of the life. You know, this is some of how reading will give you the kindness. In this case, more books you read more knowledge you know, but it can mean also the bore is full.

The archaeology of knowledge

To establish the minimum post-mortem interval (PMI) from insect evidence, an entomologist needs to accurately determine the age of the insects present on a discovered body. The aim of this work was to establish whether temporally expressed genes could be utilised as age markers for immature Dipteran insects. This study focused upon the pupal stage of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Differentially expressed genes were located by differential display or from previous research. The expression of these genes during the pupal stage was quantified using real- time PCR. This preliminary research indicated that measuring gene expression is a viable technique to establish the age of immature Calliphora insects. D 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The problem of cultural relativism for the sociology of human rights: Weber, Schmitt and Strauss

There are two parts to my discussion of the sociology of the body. I first examine, via an account of the development of anthropology and sociology, how technology and culture have historically been analysed as mediations between the scarcity of natural resources and the vulnerable human body. Technology has been crucial in providing societies with some control or dominion over nature, including therefore control over the human body, yet is often thought to involve hubris against the gods and a threat to human life. Culture, in contrast, has more usually been seen as nurturing nature, providing humans with a symbolic means of mediating and domesticating their external physical environment. Whereas culture nurtures nature, technology can so easily destroy it. In the second part of my article, I demonstrate how these conceptual distinctions have assumed new dimensions in the contemporary era and analyse these by focusing on the implications of medical technologies for longevity (for example, therapeutic stem-cell research, regenerative medicine, and new reproductive technologies). Medical technology holds out the promise of prolongevity as a new mirage of health, offering life-enhancement or the secular promise of eternal life.
