Abstract:

Today’s university lecturers are faced with the challenge of educating students to see beyond the limits of their own discipline and to come up with innovative solutions to societal challenges. Many lecturers would like to put more emphasis on teaching students how to integrate diverse forms of knowledge, work together in teams, critically reflect and become self-regulated learners. These lecturers are breaking down the silos of scientific disciplines as well as the barriers between academia and society and responding to the changing role of universities in society. Just as teaching and learni

Abstract:

The Tsimshianic languages are entirely morphologically ergative in the agreement system. While there is a split in Tsimshianic, conditioned by both clause type and a person hierarchy, the other side of the split is not the expected nominative-accusative alignment. Rather, other logical groupings of semantic roles are found that are still ergative. This chapter presents a description of the agreement patterns across Tsimshianic, with the aim of explaining these expansions of ergativity, by undertaking a comparative analysis of the individual languages in the Tsimshianic family. This is analysis

This chapter begins with the arrival of Nokia’s first non-Finnish CEO and his frank assessment of Nokia’s situation being akin to a man on a burning oil platform.

This strategy rapidly failed, leading to significant losses and the ultimate demise of Nokia’s phone business with its sale to Microsoft. The chapter also describes how, under new chairmanship, the board began to play a much stronger strategic role which resulted in the rebirth of Nokia as one of the

This chapter reviews the strategic management choices that are central to Professional Service Firms (PSFs), which in turn undergird their competitive advantage and long-run performance. The first part of the chapter focuses on human capital as a critical resource for PSFs, and explores different ways in which firm value is created by attracting, developing, configuring, and leveraging human capital. Further, it is critical that PSFs’ human capital be aligned with and harnessed to the firm’s objectives, which naturally raises issues related to motivating professionals, the sharing of economic

Further, it will argue for how multi-attribute conceptualizations of diversity may be used to more accurately represent complex interactions between people and allow for more appropriate tests of the effects of heterogeneity in groups.

This paper discusses the political economy of oil in Uganda since the announcement of its discovery in 2006.

Although the Government has created several institutional and regulatory frameworks to manage oil-related revenues and ensure that oil contributes to structural transformation, Uganda is already experiencing many of the stylized facts associated wi

This chapter examines the emergence, roles, and meanings of ‘party’ within British politics from the late eighteenth century to the present day. It traces the transition from ‘mixed’ government to ‘parliamentary’ government and ultimately to ‘party’ government. The altered function and nature of political parties within these shifting constitutional contexts is assessed. How parties functioned at the parliamentary and local level is also explored. It moves on to consider how historians have approached different aspects of party activity—their organization of the contest for power in Parliament

“The Discovery of Sex,” discusses the discovery of the role of the male in reproduction and the association of women with plants in the Ice Age. In the Upper Paleolithic many barriers could have combined to obscure the connection between sexual intercourse and childbirth.

Numeracy is also relevant, as explored in relation to the Gravettian sculpture, the “Lady of Laussel.” The early association of plants and women is suggested by t

Dextral looping is a complex process which progresses concomitantly with cardiac chamber differentiation and ultimately leads to the final alignment of the cardiac regions. Generation of cardiac asymmetry is crucial to ensure the proper form and consequent function of the heart and thus is a highly regulated process. Molecular signals originate long before morphological asymmetry and therefore can direct it; a complex regulatory network has been characterized which invariably converges on the Tgf-β‎ signalling molecule Nodal and its downstream target, the homeobox transcription factor Pitx2.

The visual completion is the result of the integration of fragmented contours. The contrast polarity (or contrast sign) may affect this interpolation by strengthening the completion in a direction where the contrast polarity is preserved. This chapter illustrates some manifestations of these phenomena: the alteration of the alignment of the visual units and the illusory tilt of more complex visual organization. The occurrence of basic distorting effects underlying classic illusions—such as the Frazer illusion—is discussed. It is noted that the role of the contrast polarity rule in representing

We will also explore humility more secularly, examining its epistemic value in the development of knowledge, as well as the important role it has to play in politics, competitive activities, and business management

This chapter considers how a discourse profile may provide a key piece of the puzzle for explaining the distribution of ergative grammatical structures within and across the world’s languages. The ergative discourse profile, isomorphic to the ergative-absolutive pattern of syntactic alignment, is found in a typologically diverse array of languages including ergative, accusative, and active. Speakers tend to follow soft constraints limiting the Quantity and Role of new and lexical noun phrases within the clause. Evidence for the universality of the ergative discourse profile is examined from ty

If the former was a ‘racial state’, the latter – even as it pursued, at times, an aggressive politics of race – was not.

The central idea is to organize the parameters of Universal Grammar (UG) into hierarchies which define the ways in which properties of individually variant categories and features may act in concert.
