Full textAbstract:
A distinctive via media form of Christian faith and practice emerged within the structures of the Elizabethan Settlement of religion. Roman Catholic opponents of the Settlement struggled throughout the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603) to undo it, while Protestant opponents persistently strove for further reform. The character of the Church of England and of what was in later years to be known as Anglicanism was largely shaped during this critical stage of its development in response to the external and internal pressures generated by these opposition parties.

Full textAbstract:
People who anticipate the potential regret of one’s decisions are believed to act in a more risk-averse manner and, thus, display fewer risk-taking behaviors across many domains. We conducted two studies to investigate whether individual differences in regret-based decision-making (a) reflect a unitary cognitive-style dimension, (b) are stable over time, and (c) predict later risk-taking behavior. In Study 1, 332 participants completed a regret-based decision-making style scale (RDS) to evaluate its psychometric qualities. In Study 2, participants ( N = 119) were tested on two separate occasions to assess the association between RDS and risk-taking. At Time 1, participants completed the RDS, as well as trait measures of anxiety and depression. One month later, they completed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) and state mood (Positive/Negative affect) scales. The RDS had a sound unidimensional factorial structure and was stable over time. Further, higher reported RDS scores were significantly associated with less risk-taking on the BART, holding other variables constant. These studies suggest that individual differences in regret-based decision-making may lead to a more cautious approach to real-world risk behaviors.

Among the diversions for Londoners in the early summer of 1562 was the sight of a man confined in the pillory at Cheapside, bizarrely dressed in grey animal skins, and accompanied with the caption: ‘For seducinge the people by publyshynge ffallce Revelations’. Ellis Hall had come to London from his home in Manchester with the intention of presenting to the Queen a ‘greate booke’ containing secret revelations written in verse. He went to the palace at Greenwich, but was denied his interview with Elizabeth. Instead, Hall was interrogated by the bishop of London, Edmund Grindal, on 12 June, and castigated in a sermon by the bishop of Durham, James Pilkington, two days later. On 18 June he was questioned by five members of the Privy Council, and on 26 June, after his spell in the pillory, he was sent on Grindal’s orders to Bridewell, where he died three years later.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Although the advent of the Kingdom of God in Jesus contains as an intrinsic quality the opportunity for repentance (metanoia) as often as required, the Church of the first five-hundred years shows serious difficulties with the opportunity of conversion after a relapse in sinning after baptism. The Church allowed only one chance of repentance. Requirement for the reconciliation were a public confession and the acceptance of severe penances, especially after committing the mortal sin of apostasy, fornication or murder. As severe as this paenitentia canonica appears, its entire conception especially in the eastern part of the Church, the Oriental Church, is a remedial one: sin represents an ailment of the soul, the one, who received the confession, is called upon to meet the confessing person as a spiritual physician or soul-friend. Penance does not mean punishment, but healing like a salutary remedy. Nevertheless, the lack of privacy led to the unwanted practice of postponing repentance and even baptism on the deathbed. An alternative procedure of repentance arose from the sixth century onwards in the Irish Church as well as the Continental Church under the influence of Irish missionaries and the South-West-British and later the English Church (Insular Church). In treatises about repentance, called penitentials, ecclesiastical authorities of the sixth to the eight centuries wrote down regulations, how to deal with the different capital sins and minor trespasses committed by monks, clerics and laypeople. Church-representatives like Finnian, Columbanus, the anonymous author of the Ambrosianum, Cummean and Theodore developed a new conception of repentance that protected privacy and guaranteed a discrete, an affordable as well as a predictable penance, the paenitentia privata. They not only connected to the therapeutic aspect of repentance in the Oriental Church by adopting basic ideas of Basil of Caesarea and John Cassian, they also established an astonishing network in using their mutual interrelations. Here the earlier penitentials served as source for the later ones. But it is remarkable that the authors in no way appeared as simple copyists, but also as creative revisers, who took regard of the pastoral necessities of the entrusted flock. They appeared as engaged in the goal to improve their ecclesiastical as well as their civil life-circumstances to make it possible that the penitents of the different ecclesiastical estates could perform their conversion and become reconciled in a dignified way. The aim of the authors was to enable the confessors to do the healing dialogue qualitatively in a high standard; quantity was not their goal. The penitents should feel themselves healed, not punished.

Full textAbstract:
The fifteenth-century collection of miracles attributed to Henry VI and collated as evidence for his canonization proceedings includes the tale of John Robbins of Worcestershire, who, it is reported, ‘rashly insulted the blessed King Henry, heaping many rebukes upon him’. The late king punished the irreverent Robbins, striking him blind. When Robbins repented, and ‘vowed with many tears to visit [Henry’s] holy tomb, he recovered his faculty of sight’. Robbins appears to have been understandably embarrassed about the event: when he later made his pilgrimage to Windsor, he failed to reveal the whole story to the shrine official. In late medieval England, a common moral justification for disease was that God and his saints inflicted infirmity on sinners as a punishment for their transgressions, providing the opportunity for repentance and atonement. However, blindness could also be regarded as a divine gift, offering protection from worldly distractions and allowing holy individuals to communicate more easily with God. Indeed, a lack of earthly sight allowed potential saints to demonstrate that they possessed the intrinsic values of humility and patience deemed necessary to achieve sanctity. This paper examines these two different theological explanations for blindness.

Previous issue date: 2018-09-15<br>The Principle of Equality should be used in all situations involving legal relationships.
With the advent of Law no. 9249/95, and consequently with the possibility of
extinguishing punishment of authors of crimes against the tax order, after the
effective payment of the helpless taxes, some controversies arose regarding the
coercive effectiveness of Criminal Law. However, it is observed a differentiated
treatment of non-taxable offenders, hence the importance of analyzing the instituting
of punishment and acquittals in another perspective. Given that the Brazilian prison
population is large, mainly due to practices of crimes against the patrimony, it is
searched with the present work, to analyze the fact of the equal application of the
benefit given to the authors of the crimes against the tax order, also to the authors of
other crimes, who may repent of the criminal practice, restoring the injured object or,
in its impossibility, repairing, in a certain way, the damage caused. Equal treatment is
proposed between offenders, observing the possibility of extinguishing punishment,
with an eye towards reducing new criminal practices, as well as reducing the prison
population, generating a possibility of saving for the state, since it will not be obliged
to costing the maintenance of the prisoners, a benefit for the victim, since they will be
compensated for the damage caused by the practice of the crime, and a possibility of
a second chance for the perpetrator, who will not be incarcerated. The analysis was
based on bibliographical research, having as sources the doctrine, technical
productions and jurisprudences. At first, the importance of taxes was analyzed for the
maintenance of state activities, conceptualizing and extracting the purpose of the
taxes, in order to understand the need to classify crimes against the tax order, and
consequent application of a penalty to the offender. In a second moment, it is sought
to understand the beneficent institutes of the Later Regret (Later Repentance) and
the Acquittal Excuse (Excusive Absence). And then, the possibility of equal treatment
and possible benefits, with the application of the abovementioned institutes, against
the State, the victim and the aggressor was evaluated.<br>O Princípio da Igualdade deverá ser utilizado em todas as situações que envolvam
relações jurídicas. Com o advento da Lei nº9.249/95, e, consequentemente, com a
possibilidade da extinção de punibilidade aos autores de crimes contra a ordem
tributária, após o efetivo pagamento dos tributos sonegados, surgiram algumas
controvérsias no tocante à eficácia coercitiva do Direito Penal. Contudo, observa-se
um tratamento diferenciado para com os autores de infrações que não tenham
cunho tributário, daí a importância da análise dos institutos da extinção de
punibilidade e das escusas absolutórias, numa outra ótica. Dado que a população
carcerária brasileira encontra-se vultuosa, principalmente devido a práticas de
crimes contra o patrimônio, busca-se com o presente trabalho, analisar o fato da
aplicação equiparada do benefício dado aos autores dos crimes contra a ordem
tributária, também aos autores de outros crimes, que porventura venham a se
arrepender da prática delituosa, restituindo o objeto lesado, ou, na sua
impossibilidade, reparando, de certa forma, o dano causado. Propõem-se um
tratamento igualitário entre os infratores, observando a possibilidade da extinção da
punibilidade, com olhos voltados à redução de novas práticas delituosas, bem como
na diminuição da população carcerária, gerando uma possibilidade de economia
para o estado, pois não será obrigado a custear a manutenção dos presos, um
benefício para a vítima, vez que será ressarcida do prejuízo causado pela prática do
crime, e uma possibilidade de segunda chance para o autor, que não será
encarcerado. A análise se fundamentou em pesquisas bibliográficas, tendo como
fontes a doutrina, produções técnicas e jurisprudências. Num primeiro momento foi
analisado a importância dos tributos para a manutenção das atividades estatais,
conceituando e extraindo a finalidade dos tributos, para se entender a necessidade
da tipificação de crimes contra a ordem tributária, e consequente aplicação de uma
pena ao infrator. Num segundo momento busca-se entender os institutos benéficos
do Arrependimento Posterior e da Escusa Absolutória. E em seguida foi avaliado a
possibilidade do tratamento igualitário e eventuais benefícios, com a aplicação dos
institutos acima mencionados, frente o Estado, a vítima e o agressor.

Full textAbstract:
The study of social withdrawal continues to grow among younger samples, including childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. Little research has addressed socially withdrawn older adults, despite the various losses, declines, and changes experienced by those in later life and their known benefits resulting from social interactions. Shy, avoidant, or unsocial individuals at younger ages may withdraw and possibly miss out on important opportunities; as a result, when they are grown, these same socially withdrawn individuals may experience greater regret and lower fulfillment in later life. Further, socially withdrawn older adults residing in long-term care (LTC) facilities may have more time to reminisce of past regret or fulfillment. Data was collected from 45 older participants (Mage = 83.07) residing in a long-term care facility on O'ahu. The current study used Bayesian linear regression models to examine ways that three subtypes of withdrawal (shyness, avoidance, and unsociability) may relate to regret and fulfillment in later life; with an exploratory qualitative portion assessing withdrawn participant's biggest regrets and accomplishments. Results indicated that higher levels of shyness significantly predicted higher levels of regret, while higher levels of unsociability were related to higher levels of fulfillment. The findings may help us to understand the role of ability to choose in the lives of socially withdrawn individuals, as shy individuals who may withdraw because of fear could be missing out on desired life experiences, while unsocial individuals appear able to participate in their desired activities.

Full textAbstract:
Personality researchers have described dispositional traits to typically show stability over the life course and yet one such trait, shyness, has rarely been examined in later life. Shyness as a global trait has been linked negatively to multiple psychological indices of childhood well-being, including loneliness. Despite the fact that older adults may be already at risk for experiencing heightened loneliness, regret, or decreased fulfillment, research has not assessed these experiences in relation to personality in later life. In recent years, withdrawal research has begun to move past shyness as a global trait to examine the motivations behind socially withdrawn behavior. The current study used regression analyses to examine ways that three facets of withdrawal (shyness, avoidance, and unsociability) may relate to loneliness, regret, and fulfillment in later life. Data from 309 older participants of the Huntsman Senior Games were used to explore associations. Results indicated that shyness, avoidance, and unsociability significantly predicted increased loneliness and regret, and decreased fulfillment to some extent. Further, marital status (married, divorced, widowed) moderated links between withdrawal and psychological indices of later life well-being.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>農業經濟學研究所<br>98<br>Carbon mitigating action normally will damage economy. A country, however, may pay more in the future if she hesitates to take mitigating action now. The purpose of this study designs a specific “carbon mitigating framework” in which various scenarios of mitigation models will be provided for each individual country while confronting different targets of mitigation and choices of mitigation period.
The “carbon mitigating framework” is based on the targets which are “Kyoto mitigatiion targets” and other targets that are following Kyoto Protocol according to potential international mitigating agreements. The “once mitigation” to achieve the mitigation target and the “annual mitigation” to achieve the mitigation target are two kinds of mitigating period choices used in the study. “Do it now or delay later” phenomenon reflects on the actions designed for “the early mitigating” and “the delay mitigating.” Estimation, computation, and comparison are made by the cost difference in terms of gross domestic product for different aspects of target, mitigation period, and actions.
The empirical results demonstrate that the scenarios with “the delay mitigating action” cost much higher than that “the early mitigating action” by 1.00 to 5.17 times based on the same target and choice of mitigation period. Similarly, “the delay mitigating actions” with “once mitigation” also cost more than that “the early mitigating actions” with “annual mitigation” by 2.39 to 5.42 times based on the same mitigation target. These importment conclusions support a specific cost saving of “no regret policy.” These conclusions is universally true for all the 31 countries, with various levels of economic development, at hand.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>企業管理系研究所<br>107<br>Most research of regret focused on choice task rather than rejection task, previous studies have demonstrated that rejecting alternatives will take a longer time to finish the purchase decision, moreover, in the research of regret also prove that take more time to make the decision can help people to avoid regret. We would like to provide an investigation that combines the different type of decision tasks and regret. In our research, we constructed three studies to discuss choice versus rejection task will lead to a distinct outcome of the degree of regret. Study 1, we revealed that consumers will feel a lower degree of regret when using rejection task rather than the choice task, and this result is because of the “self-defect” comments that pop up after consumers finish purchased. Study 2, we changed the aspect of comments into “others advantages” to confirm the effect was still significant, and also a mediator which analyzed the cause of “deliberate”. Study 3a and 3b, we examined the role of different degree of process fluency and tend to get a result that can reduce the effect of decision task type. The finding of our research provided an insight in marketing field that marketers can try to reduce consumer’s regret by control the task type of decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
What can explain holding both the judgment that it would have been better for a 14-year-old girl not to have had the child she did and her later judgment that she does not regret having the child? An account of our identity as the particular persons we are can explain how these judgments are not contradictory in a way that incorporates the insights of a number of philosophers who have wrestled with this question. Some aspects of identity are fixed from birth—genetic characteristics, some physical characteristics—but much of identity remains an open question shaped by how lives unfold and attachments to others develop. Moreover, there is a potential darker side to this dynamic if the relationship does not go well and burdens are imposed on others. Suitably refined, Parfit and Velleman’s accounts can help to explain how, for example, the 14-year-old might experience remorse for how she has wronged her own parents.

Jeremy Taylor cited Arnauld’s famous work on frequent communion in his Unum Necessarium of 1655, and made use of the French writer’s arguments in a later work, The Worthy Communicant. This chapter provides parallel discussions of the two theologians’ doctrines of repentance, which both were concerned to enlarge in scope in the context of what they considered the deficiencies in contemporary Protestant and Catholic approaches. The chapter concludes with a textual comparison between their arguments regarding the primitive practice of penance, which suggests that Taylor may have drawn directly on Arnauld’s work. In requiring that penitents should efface all affection to involuntary sin, or in other words be directed by a perfect contrition, both writers laid out a rigorist programme which dissolved the distinction between moral and ascetical theology.

Some who create new words later wish they hadn’t. They experience “coiner’s remorse.” Such penitents include Alan Greenspan (irrational exuberance), Trent Lott (nuclear option), Peter Drucker (profit center), and John Gyakum (bomb cyclone). Coinage regret is felt for a variety of reasons: coiners can develop reservations about their verbal offspring, terms they coined years earlier may no longer reflect their outlook, or the ways others use and misuse it is not to their liking. In that case coinage penitents don’t regret a term they created as much as its usage. As part of the process of semantic change, linguists assume that the meaning of coined words will diversify in ways never intended by their coiner. This is small consolation to those who introduced such terms, however. They’re far more likely to be perturbed than reassured by this inevitable process of definition diffusion.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter begins with an overview of the meaning of the term “law,” in order to give background to Lutheran disputes over the term. Starting with the work of J. C. K. von Hofmann, scholars have disagreed over Luther and later Lutherans view of the law. Many suggest that Luther understood the law as God’s call to repentance, existentially experienced, so that it could not be used to teach the good will of God, but only to accuse people of sin, excluding the law from ethics. In spite of the efforts of other scholars such as Werner Elert, who argued that Luther and the Lutheran Confessions are in agreement, resolving the underlying tension over whether the law may be used for instruction requires clarification of the meaning of Christian righteousness, and how the law relates to righteousness.

Turner, Hazlitt wrote in The Examiner, is ‘the ablest landscape-painter now living’, but his paintings are ‘too much abstractions of aerial perspective, and representations not properly of the objects of nature as of the medium through which they were seen’. It is likely that Shelley would have known Hazlitt’s review, which foreshadows Hazlitt’s later criticism of similar traits of ‘abstraction’ in Shelley’s Posthumous Poems. Regardless of mutual influence or awareness, Turner and Shelley exhibit at times a startling similarity, both in thematic terms and in terms of their angles of vision and affective impact on viewer or reader. If in some moods they welcomed the resmelting of an old world in the furnace of words and paint, they were conscious, too, that such a burning away might induce regret as well as rhapsody. Through a range of comparisons between poems and paintings, the chapter shows how Turner and Shelley hymn change and lament evanescence in a blink of a line-ending or swish of a brushstroke; to try to pin them down to either praise or lament is nearly always to simplify.

Gene came to Seattle to attend Norwescon and suggested that we come out. That was my first sf convention. I’m not sure if it was at that Norwescon or one a few years later, but I saw Joanna Russ speak on panels and found out she was on the University of Washington faculty. She was an amazing, charismatic speaker, and I decided that I wanted to take courses with her and looked her up in the university catalog after the convention. I took several quarters of her science fiction writing class. I don’t remember if I had read any of her work before I started taking her class. I think I may have read a couple of her novels as preparation. But I had already decided to take her class based on listening to her talk at Norwescon. Many of her students were a bit scared of her and so her office hours were very open timewise. I would just go and talk to her for as much of the time as was available. If anyone else showed up, I would defer. A guy named Michael Gilbert, who later went to Clarion West with me, usually was there, too. My big regret is that she taught a science fiction criticism course and I didn’t take it. Michael took it; I was involved in student government and didn’t have the time. But I heard all about what they studied from Michael....

This chapter brings the survey of custom to the beginning of this century. That survey shows how U.S. foreign policy has continued to pressure the judiciary to go in the direction of Curtiss-Wright, an invitation it has still generally refused in light of the recommitment to the original constitutional framework set out in Youngstown. That the courts, and the Supreme Court in particular, maintained their position as well as they did stands as a testament to the original constitutional design and nearly a century and a half of constitutional custom. Starting roughly midcentury, the nation was placed on a type of near-permanent war footing. These developments accelerated the trend toward greater claims of executive power in particular. In this setting, arguments that the judiciary was ill suited to second-guess executive foreign policy, and to intervene in foreign affairs more generally, were sounded with greater frequency. At times the Court bowed, much to its later regret. Yet, for the most part, it has shown itself capable of maintaining its role. In the end, the survey of constitutional custom falls short of showing constitutional demotion of the judiciary's role in foreign affairs as originally envisioned and long practiced.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is an interactive novel where the reader is invited to step into the role of caseworker and implementer of policy. The form is in itself an analytical point: any decision the reader makes might later trap him or her or have unintended consequences. By taking one decision rather than another, the reader is cut off from knowing what other decisions might have led to. The epilogue thus paraphrases the central Kierkegaardian dilemma that will return to haunt policy implementation: what you will regret is not the thing you do but all the thing you by implication did not do. The method used is the style of writing sometimes referred to as a branching-plot novel or gamebook. The idea is that the reader participates in the narration of the story by taking decisions in key moments. The aim of this is to engage the reader and make them ‘complicit’ in the casework rather than analytically distanced. The validity rests on a close commitment to the empirical data. Each situation described did take place in November 2009, each decision has been made by one of the municipal caseworkers, and the reflective voices narrated in the text echo explicitly voiced concerns.

When Edison introduced his new-fangled electric-lighting system, he found a receptive audience. The public, the press, and even his competitors— with the possible exception of the gaslight industry—recognized that here was a technology of the future. Alexander Graham Bell, on the other hand, had a tougher time. In 1876, just three years before Edison would create a practical light bulb, Bell’s invention of the telephone fell flat. “A toy,” his detractors huffed. What good was it? The telegraph already handled communications quite nicely, thank you, and sensible inventors should be trying to lower the cost and improve the quality of telegraphy. Indeed, that’s just what one of Bell’s rivals, Elisha Gray, did—to his everlasting regret. Gray had come up with a nearly identical telephone some months before Bell, but he had not patented it. Instead, he had turned his attention back to the telegraph, searching for a way to carry multiple signals over one line. When Gray eventually did make it to the patent office with his telephone application, he was two hours behind Bell. Those two hours would cost him a place in the history books and one of the most lucrative patents of all time. Some months later, Bell offered his patent to the telegraph giant Western Union for a pittance—$100,000—but company officials turned him down. The telephone, they thought, had no future. It wasn’t until the next year, when Bell had gotten financing to develop his creation on his own, that Western Union began to have second thoughts. Then the company approached Thomas Edison to come up with a similar machine that worked on a different principle so that it could sidestep the Bell patent and create its own telephone. Eventually, the competitors combined their patents to create the first truly adequate telephones, and the phone industry took off. By 1880 there were 48,000 phones in use, and a decade later nearly five times that. More recently, when high-temperature superconductors were first created in 1986, the experts seemed to be competing among themselves to forecast the brightest future for the superconductor industry.

Yale Law School Professor Alexander Bickel was a major constitutional scholar of his time. When, in 1970, he questioned the long-term viability of the Brown decision in a highly praised book, civil rights lawyers and liberal scholars were annoyed. Few of us at that time had any doubts that we would eventually prevail in eradicating segregation “root and branch” from the public schools. Now, more than three decades later, Professor Bickel’s prediction, heavily criticized at the time, has become an unhappy but all too accurate reality. In this chapter I will examine the resistance by whites and the rigidity by civil rights lawyers and leaders that combined to transform Bickel’s prediction into prophesy. Even the optimists among us had continuing reasons to regret the “all deliberate speed” standard for implementing Brown I. The Supreme Court insisted in Brown II that its unique-compliance formula was intended to do no more than allow time for the necessary administrative changes that transformation to a desegregated school system required. After a decade of experience with the standard, Judge Robert L. Carter, former NAACP General Counsel, surmised that the formula actually permitted movement toward compliance on terms that the white South could accept.1 Until Brown II, Carter said, constitutional rights had been defined as personal and present, but under the guise of judicial statesmanship, “the Warren Court sacrificed individual and immediate vindication of the newly discovered right of blacks to a desegregated education in favor of a remedy more palatable to whites.” Carter suggests that the Court failed to realize the depth or nature of the problem, and by attempting to regulate the pace of desegregation so as to convey a show of compassion and understanding for the white South, it not only failed to develop a willingness to comply, but instead aroused the hope that resistance to the constitutional imperative would succeed. As had happened so frequently before, southern politicians began waving the Confederate flag and equating the Brown decision with a Supreme Court-led attack on states’ rights. Highway billboards called for the impeachment of Chief Justice Earl Warren, and candidates were elected to office on campaigns based on little more than shouting “Never.”

Jerusalem is the greatest site of physical destruction and renewal known to history. For some 4,000 years it suffered wars, earthquakes, and fires, not to mention twenty sieges, two periods of total desolation, eighteen reconstructions, and at least eleven transitions from one religious faith to another. This cycle of trauma has resulted in a variety of outcomes; among them are demolition without reconstruction, repeated renewal, no destruction at all, and the conscious maintenance of ruins. This chapter explores how these divergent responses to disaster are linked to the most important buildings of the three great monotheistic religions, for which Jerusalem remains a place of special significance. In the stories and laws embedded in the documents of these religions there are clues as to how they propose to help their followers respond to losses, including the loss of life, property, territory, religious artifacts, and psychological well-being. In the loss and restitution of the major temples, churches, mosques, and synagogues, there is a similar tie between religious propositions and building form. In the story of the earliest city in the Bible, there is a tussle between God’s punishment of man and man’s restitution. First, God is angry and Adam is sent from Eden. Then Adam’s son Cain commits murder and is also banished, but he builds the first city and names it Enoch after his son. The first city is thus created by a criminal, but the city later becomes the place of God. There is a parallel ambiguity about Jerusalem in the texts. God is angry and he destroys, but he also loves and rehabilitates: “Here [in Jerusalem] was born the rumor of a single invisible God, a father figure, authoritarian—at once petulant and magnanimous, vindictive and merciful. . . . the sadomasochism of ‘in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour I had mercy’ was first articulated in religious terms.” For the twentieth-century theologian Jacques Ellul, Jerusalem is God’s singular creation, “his own city” to be both destroyed and restored as a model for all cities. In many of the destructions of Jerusalem, brutal violence was accompanied by regret or piety.

On my way to Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, one late November I realized that I had not packed any winter clothes. It turns out that I was not the first to make this blunder. None of the half a million or so Germans, French, Swiss, Poles, Italians, and other nationalities who passed through the town or in its vicinity in June 1812 had packed any winter clothes, something many of them were to later regret. They were on their way, although they did not know it at the time, to Moscow. What they also did not know was that they were going to make what was arguably the world’s worst aller-retour journey ever: Vilna to Moscow and back (at that time the town was known under its Polish name and had recently been acquired by the Russians in the process of the annihilation of the Polish state). It was June, and they were in a good mood, as the Russian Tsar had recently fled Vilna followed by his quarrelling generals, and they were under the command of possibly the most competent military leader since Alexander the Great: Napoleon Bonaparte. The lack of warm clothing was not going to bother me, however. By the morning the snow had melted, and luckily I was not on my way to Moscow on foot. I was in Vilnius to search for some buttons, preferably made of tin. The story of Napoleon’s buttons and their allegedly fateful role in the disastrous 1812 campaign is widespread among scientists and science teachers. This is partly due to the popular book with the same name by the chemists Penny LeCouteur and Jay Burreson, and I wanted to find out whether there could be any truth in it, or whether it was just another of the legends and rumours that has formed around this war. Briefly, the story goes like this: metallic tin is a dense material (lots of atoms per cubic centimetre) and was supposedly the material used for many of the buttons of what was known as la Grande Armée. Unfortunately, metallic tin has a nasty Mr Hyde variation, known as grey tin.

Full textAbstract:
There is a dearth of research in teaching strategies and learning approaches for units involving sensitive topics. Sensitive topics could provoke an emotional response in students. In a business ethics unit, the attempt at striking a balance between conceptual knowledge and theory with that of skills training can be challenging because such unit can involve personal, sensitive or controversial topics. Students may unknowingly divulge personal opinions, when engaging in deep and meaningful face-to-face discussion, which they later regret or be identified with by other students for a longer period of time. Value-laden topics may also lead to clashes between students if face-to-face discussions are not managed properly. This paper considers the use of technology to provide an optimal learning environment for student discussion on sensitive topics via role-play and simulation in a first-year business ethics unit.
