TL;DR: This paper explored the interconnectedness of linguistic and social matters in a wide vareity of texts ranging from casual conversations to extracts from coursebooks, and showed that the individual language user is constantly engaged in the processes of linguistic reconstitution and change.
Abstract: Starting from the point of view that language is essentially a social phenomenon, this book explores the interconnectedness of linguistic and social matters in a wide vareity of texts ranging from casual conversations to extracts from coursebooks. Kress demonstrates that, rather than being powerless in the face of a monolithic language system, the individual language user is constantly engaged in the processes of linguistic reconstitution and change.

TL;DR: Gerson analyzes the experiences of a carefully selected group of middle-class and working-class women who were young adults in the 1970s and reveals the emerging social forces in American society that have led today's women to face several difficult choices.
Abstract: How do women choose between work and family commitments? And what are the causes, limits, and consequences of the "subtle revolution" in women's choices over the 1960s and 1970s? To answer these questions, Kathleen Gerson analyzes the experiences of a carefully selected group of middle-class and working-class women who were young adults in the 1970s. Their informative life histories reveal the emerging social forces in American society that have led today's women to face several difficult choices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fresh reading of works by the classic figures of modern European and American social theory Durkheim, Freud, Simmel and Weber, and Park, Parsons, and Merton.
Abstract: The essays turn about a single theme, the loss of the capacity to deal constructively with ambiguity in the modern era. Levine offers a head-on critique of the modern compulsion to flee ambiguity. He centers his analysis on the question of what responses social scientists should adopt in the face of the inexorably ambiguous character of all natural languages. In the course of his argument, Levine presents a fresh reading of works by the classic figures of modern European and American social theory Durkheim, Freud, Simmel and Weber, and Park, Parsons, and Merton."

TL;DR: The recent resurgence of philosophical discourse in the social sciences, which seeks to conjoin theoretical realism with so-called "structuration theory" has rekindled the spirit of inquiry once known as dialectical materialism, while contributing much in the way of clarity and systematic development of basic tenets.
Abstract: Class is arguably the single most crucial axis on which human life turns in the modern world, yet is at the same time one of the most difficult of social facts to grasp. Marx provided a powerful conception, rooted in the mode of production, with which to understand the class character of capitalist societies. This theory remains subject to doubt, however, because of persistent failure of vision in the face of a social reality that does not conform to tidy conceptual systems. Space is another fundamental dimension of human life, yet the geographic element in the social sciences has atrophied for want of a way in which spatial relations might comfortably be integrated into social theory. Fortunately, the recent revival of philosophical discourse in the social sciences, which seeks to conjoin ‘theoretical realism’ with so-called ‘structuration theory’, has rekindled the spirit of inquiry once known as dialectical materialism, while contributing much in the way of clarity and systematic development of basic tenets. This mode of thought offers a way out of the dead-ends to which class analysis and geography have come, although the refined tools of philosophy need to be fitted into the powerful machine of Marx’s theory of capitalism in order for the analytic work to proceed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the author describes the kind of person who will need some my forbidden face growing up under the taliban a young women's story references. But sometimes, that kind of a person will need to seek for the new things and information from many sources.
Abstract: Well, someone can decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do but sometimes, that kind of person will need some my forbidden face growing up under the taliban a young womans story references. People with open minded will always try to seek for the new things and information from many sources. On the contrary, people with closed mind will always think that they can do it by their principals. So, what kind of person are you?

TL;DR: This paper is about how to teach a foreign language at a distance, i.e. how to support the learning of a foreignlanguage by students who are not taught by teachers face‐to‐face.
Abstract: This paper is about how to teach a foreign language at a distance, i.e. how to support the learning of a foreign language by students who are not taught by teachers face‐to‐face. Much experience about this has been collected by correspondence schools and similar organisations. Among the public bodies of importance here should be mentioned the state‐owned and state‐run French Centre National d'Enseignement par Correspondence and Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada. Little seems to have been published about teaching and learning foreign languages at a distance, although Rousseau 1977 and contributions to ICDE and EHSC conferences (in 1982 and 1979) have surveyed essential problem areas. Experiences of teaching English as a foreign language provide the basis from which many considerations are examined.
TL;DR: A subtle spatialrelational misrepresentation was hypothesized to exist in chronic skid row alcoholic men, who are known as a group to have deficits in recent memory, which in turn implicate a deficient encoding process.
Abstract: Spatial representation has empirically been found useful in mnemonic devices since antiquity,’ apparently facilitating spatially ordered encoding. A subtle spatialrelational misrepresentation was hypothesized to exist in chronic skid row alcoholic men, who are known as a group to have deficits in recent memory, which in turn implicate a deficient encoding process.2 A novel test shown in FIGURE 1, was used: Draw-A-Person-With-Face-In-Frontal-View (DAPF).’-’ Note the simple determination (which in future could be quantified): A ruler was used (involving no qualitative
TL;DR: This article argued that the reasons had to do originally with the strong desire for intellectual respectability and, later, with the need to face common challenges to religion from science and history, and that none of the philosophers who wrote extensively did anything to foster the particular doctrines of his denomination and all of them offered very general defences of religion which could, in principle, accommodate their rivals.
Abstract: Professional philosophy in Ontario is rooted in denominationalism; yet from its beginnings it tended to undermine denominational distinctions. Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Baptists, and two groups or Methodists established colleges in Ontario in the nineteenth century, all but the Baptists before the middle or that century, and each could claim at least one philosopher or distinction. Each denomination taught philosophy. Yet none of the philosophers who wrote extensively did anything to foster the particular doctrines of his denomination and all of them offered very general defences of religion which could, in principle, accommodate their rivals. It is argued that the reasons had to do originally with the strong desire for intellectual respectability and, later, with the need to face common challenges to religion from science and history.
TL;DR: ICRISAT is a non-profit, non-political organization that conducts agricultural research for development in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with a wide array of partners throughout the world as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Tropics (ICRISAT) is a non-profit, non-political organization that conducts agricultural research for development in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with a wide array of partners throughout the world. Covering 6.5 million square kilometers of land in 55 countries, the semi-arid tropics have over 2 billion people, of whom 644 million are the poorest of the poor. ICRISAT innovations help the dryland poor move from poverty to prosperity by harnessing markets while managing risks – a strategy called Inclusive Market-Oriented Development (IMOD). ICRISAT is headquartered in Patancheru, Telangana, India, with two regional hubs and six country offices in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a member of the CGIAR Consortium. CGIAR is a global research partnership for a food secure future. N utri-cereals, especially millets including sorghum, have very little funding and attention compared to other major crops. The 'big 3' crops receive most attention and support for development and are increasingly dominant in the minds of government, industry and consumers. However, we believe that nutri-cereals are critical for both farmers and consumers because of: ▪ high nutritional value ▪ resilience under extreme weather conditions – critical in future with climate change ▪ need for both diet and on-farm diversity ▪ multiple untapped uses ▪ large scope for further development ▪ appropriate for fighting poverty and food insecurity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory that conclusions are logically established on the semantic structure of the argument, which accounts for both universal and culture specific aspects of reasoning, is testable, opens new areas of research and provides researchers with a firmly grounded method for using meaning to account for behavior.
Abstract: Because thought processes underlie all human action and can distinguish one culture from another, the social sciences must face the problem of determining how people think. Reasoning can be viewed as abstract and not connected to any particular human activity, as it is in philosophical logic, or it can be seen as a process in a particular linguistic, social and cultural setting, as it is in ethno-logic. Recently anthropologists, developmental psychologists and other scholars working under the general rubric of cognitive science have studied issues in ethno-logic but these studies are flawed because the researchers accepted philosophical logic as the norm under which they judged the actions of their subjects. Good theory in ethno-logic can only come from study which describes thought processes from the natives point of view. One such theory states that conclusions are logically established on the semantic structure of the argument. This theory accounts for both universal and culture specific aspects of reasoning, is testable, opens new areas of research and provides researchers with a firmly grounded method for using meaning to account for behavior.

TL;DR: To claim at all that there is a role for theology in bioethics is to face a dilemma as discussed by the authors, since either the principles which apply in the practice of medicine, or in biological research, are such as to approve themselves to all reasonable men, in which case there is no need to bring theology into it, or religion provides one perspective among others from which the moral issues may be viewed, and it is not clear why in a plurality society this one should be preferred to the others.
Abstract: To claim at all that there is a role for theology in bioethics is to face a dilemma. Either the principles which apply in the practice of medicine, or in biological research, are such as to approve themselves to all reasonable men, in which case there is no need to ‘bring theology into it’; or religion provides one perspective among others from which the moral issues may be viewed, and it is not clear why in a‘plural society’ this one should be preferred to the others. Theology is either otiose or intrusive.
TL;DR: Although languages are obviously theory-laden, a language is on the face of it quite different from a theory stated in the language as mentioned in this paper, a language makes no claims, is neutral as between opposing statements, accommodates varied and conflicting theories.
Abstract: Although languages are obviously theory—laden, a language is on the face of it quite different from a theory stated in the language. A language makes no claims, is neutral as between opposing statements, accommodates varied and conflicting theories. A theory makes claims that can be denied in the same language and restated in other languages.
