Abstract:

The paper discusses genesis and current state of scientific views about the nature essence of Criminalistics. Attention is paid to the fact that the indicated problematics is one of the most debatable in the general theory of Criminalistics and up to date criminalist scientists have not reached a consensus position on this matter. At present two basic scientific concepts about the nature of Criminalistics coexist, one of them considers Criminalistics to be the special legal science and the second - the science of synthetic (integrated) nature. The author's position on the indicated concepts ha

Abstract:

Learning difficulties resulting from students holding conceptions of scientific concepts which are at variance with those presented in curricular materials have been identified in the literature in a number of areas of science. In this study a number of student learning difficulties related to the concepts of growth and the cell were identified. More specifically, this study was designed to investigate whether alternative conceptions held by students prior to instruction were, in part, responsible for these learning difficulties. The study also investigated whether omissions in instruction con

Abstract:

The two research questions of this thesis are: 'What is the aesthetic' and 'What is the relationship of the aesthetic to art' These questions launch an argument that seeks to challenge and reverse some recent 'deflationary' accounts of the aesthetic. The research uses the foundational aesthetics of Hume, Baumgarten and Kant to counter the arguments of deflationary aesthetics, then, drawing upon evolutionary theory and cognitive neuroscience, it highlights the power of the aesthetic in both nature and art. The 'deflationist' George Dickie called the aesthetic attitude a 'myth' and dismissed the

Abstract:

This thesis is an exploration of the connection between women and nature, specifically the violence that has been inflicted upon them both and how it is interrelated. I positioned my research within the field of Ecofeminism, which critiques the language we (as a Western culture) use to associate women with nature and vice-versa. Traditionally, women are more often associated with nature than men are, and the environment is personified as “Mother Nature”. I argue that uncritically gendering nature as “female” is problematic because of the associations we typically make between the two, and the

Abstract:

Medical diagnoses define the possible modes of being ill from the medical point of view. Medical diagnoses are theoretical concepts that gain their meaning as a part of the prevailing medical theory. As medical theories change over time, also medical concepts change, as can be seen in the long history of medical thinking. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate medical thinking through examining the formation and use of one example of a particular medical concept “psychosomatic” in medical theory and practice. The approach taken in this essay reflects the writings of Lev Vygotsky, who argue

Abstract:

Over the past decades, the environmental justice movement has developed growing concerns about the unequal distribution of environmental harms and the uneven access to environmental amenities. The movement rapidly became an academic field that has criticised diverse urban sustainability strategies for failing to address environmental justice issues in its three dimensions: recognition, procedure and distribution. Hence, this thesis aims to explore how this concept could be integrated into the planning of Nature-based solutions in cities through advancing conceptual and methodological contribut

Abstract:

Extreme weather variation, natural disasters, and anthropogenic actions negatively impact coastal communities through flooding and erosion. To safeguard coastal settlements, shorelines are frequently reinforced with seawalls and bulkheads. Hardened shorelines, however, result in biodiversity loss and environmental deterioration. The creation of sustainable solutions that engineer with nature is required to lessen natural and anthropogenic pressures. Nature-based solutions (NbS) are a means to enhance biodiversity and improve the environment while meeting engineering goals. To address this urge

Abstract:

The idea that children have a “right to education” has been widely accepted since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 (United Nations, 1948) and periodically reinforced since. The “right to education” has always, explicitly or implicitly, encompassed a “right to learn.” Measures of schooling alone, such as enrollment or grade attainment, without reference to skills, capabilities, and competencies acquired, are inadequate for defining education or education poverty. Because of education’s cumulative and dynamic nature, education poverty needs an “early” standard (e.g., Grade 3 or
