TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a perspective on EU studies centred on social agents and assess its contribution to the understanding of both the making of an EU political field at the top and the emergence of European social fields at the bottom.
Abstract: The aim of the article is to develop a perspective on EU studies centred on social agents and to assess its contribution to the understanding of both the making of an EU political field at the top and the emergence of European social fields at the bottom. This perspective, intellectually informed by authors such as Pierre Bourdieu or Norbert Elias, provides a way to deepen existing approaches and to expand the scope of EU studies in two ways. First, it aims to evaluate the social foundations of the European integration process through a very precise analysis of what social actors involved in EU processes think and do considering their position in wider structures of interaction and domination. Second, it calls for wider collaboration with sociology, history and anthropology and bringing back traditional notions and toolkits from other social sciences in order to better understand an emerging European institution-society nexus.

TL;DR: This article argued that environmental history has not engaged as fully with social and political theory as it might, and that once it does, environmental historians will find that their concerns are not justified.

TL;DR: This article presents eight groups of the most widespread terms (such as computer-based learning, distance learning, e-learning, Internetbased learning), and defines subset relationships among the groups and explains the meaning of some terms coming from pedagogy and used as obligatory constituent part of other terms.
Abstract: The broad terminology describing possible learning ways and approaches that use various technologies in the learning process has appeared together with rapid growth of information and communication technologies. This terminology should be ordered and precisely defined. This article presents eight groups of the most widespread terms (such as computer-based learning, distance learning, e-learning, Internetbased learning, online learning, resource-based learning, technology-based learning, Web-based learning) and defines subset relationships among the groups. In addition the meaning of some terms coming from pedagogy (education, instruction, learning, teaching, training, and tutoring) and used as obligatory constituent part of other terms is clarified.

TL;DR: For the majority of professionally trained, that is, academic, psychologists, as well as for most educated laymen interested in the field, psychology has become known as the scientific study of individual experience and behavior or action as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: For the majority of professionally trained, that is, academic, psychologists, as well as for most educated laymen interested in the field, psychology has become known as the scientific study of individual experience and behavior or action. Whether explicitly stated, as in most definitions of the field, or merely presupposed, it is the experiencing and acting individual on whom psychological theories and research have focused.

TL;DR: The influential position of nudge begs sociological engagement, indeed its recognition of "choice architecture" is partially congruent with sociological conceptions of structure-embedded agency as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Interventions framed through a behavioural lens, particularly ‘Nudge’, are gaining credence in US and UK policy circles, not least around healthcare. Key tenets of this ‘libertarian paternalist’ approach are discussed and related to sociological theory. The influential position of nudge begs sociological engagement, indeed its recognition of ‘choice architecture’ is partially congruent with sociological conceptions of structure-embedded agency. Though recognising the significance of norms, the analysis of nudge fails to appreciate their depth in terms of time, materiality and the socio-cultural. The potency and variable consequences of these social factors are emphasised through Bourdieu's concepts of habitus and field. This framework alongside various sociological approaches to risk and uncertainty are proposed as potentially fruitful paths of critical engagement.
