Abstract:

School staff are continuously asked to adapt to changes that are set forth by various governmental and community agencies. These changes are set in motion to improve schools, however, with change brings conflict. Organizational learning has gained attention as a way to adjust to change. Because conflict can be a taxing, disruptive occurrence in organizations, the purpose of this study was to examine how leaders of schools with high teacher empowerment levels use conflict as a positive force to move their schools forward, despite constant change. Research suggests a connection between organizat

Abstract:

Natural language has a rich arsenal of negation. There are a number of dimensions criteria according we can to where classify negative expressions into groups. We make a distinction between negation in the asserted meaning and negation in the non-asserted content. We call the first group explicit negation, and the second – implicit negation. Explicit negation in English includes expressions like scarcely, hardly, few, seldom, little, and only, as well as more obviously negative expressions like no, not, and never. Implicit negation, on the other hand, includes expressions like forget, fail, do

Abstract:

Language production is one of the most complex cognitive – motor skills developed by homo sapiens throughout evolution to allow inter-personal and intra-personal communication (Indefrey and Levelt, 2000). A great number of cortical regions have adapted to support this high-speed combination of muscular and mental processes, in order to correctly generate the intended utterances in different contexts and situations. The neural organization of language processing is a thorny matter, that in the last decades has been investigated with a number of different methods ranging from functional imaging

Abstract:

This research examined the theoretical underpinnings of the conflict transformation approach and the practical value of this approach in the building of sustainable peace. Uniquely drawing on the 'process-structure' concept (Lederach), this research found that a core dimension of conflict transformation consisted in the development of cooperative relationships and appropriate supportive socio-political structures. The appropriateness of supportive structures was found to depend on their capacity for inclusiveness of all diverse groups of a society, and the structural prevalence of a participat

Abstract:

Policies are descriptive and provide information which can be used to modify the behaviour of a system without the need of recompilation and redeployment. They are usually written in a policy definition language which allows end users to specify their requirements, preferences and constraints. Policies are used in many software application areas: network management, telecommunications, security, and access control are some typical examples. Ponder, KAoS, Rein, XACML, and WSPL are examples of policy definition languages. These languages are usually targeted at a specific domain, hence there is

Abstract:

One of the fundamental problems facing writing instructors who use collaboration is that traditional assessment measures, such as in-class essay exams, undermine rather than support such writing activities that are rooted in social construction theory. While the use of collaboration in writing classrooms continues to grow, the field of assessment remains virtually silent about the compatibility of traditional assessment methods with collaborative writing tasks such as group work and peer review. This thesis discusses social construction and assessment theories, their relation to collaboration,

The hypothesis that language discrimination contributes to protest and/or rebellion is tested.

Protest and rebellion variables are taken from Gurr's Minorities at Risk study. Findings include an indication that group language status contributes positively to protest and rebellion until a language attains moderate recognition by

Software is often capable of efficiently storing and managing data on computers.

One way to enhance presentation is to generate documents that correctly convey the data to users, taking into account the needs of the user and the values in the data.

Abstract:

<p> Whether neural substrates underlying conflict resolution, or the ability to choose an appropriate response from number of alternate options, are shared across disparate domains is currently unclear. This thesis sought to extend previous studies examining this question by asking whether conflict adaptation occurs between Stroop (a non-syntactic task well-studied in the conflict resolution literature) and two different language tasks. Evidence for bidirectional behavioral interaction between processing of sentences with syntax-semantic conflict and Stroop was found in Experiment 1; however,

Abstract:

Despite Barbara Kingsolver's ability to create unique characters and storylines, two factors remain constant throughout each of her novels: strong female protagonists and conflict resolution. Though conflict exists in almost all fiction, the way that Kingsolver's characters deal with their situations often speaks louder than any other aspect of her writing. Moreover, though her characters often vary wildly from story to story, their methods of conflict resolution seem to undoubtedly connect them. Through her continuing desire to emphasize "the question of individualism and communal identity,"

Considering that linguistic recognition has been conferred through the Good Friday Agreement (1998), language policy in Northern Ireland must be seen as a type of conflict management.
