The Universal Duty To Alleviate Inflicted Suffering: An Ethical Grounding For Siu's New Discipline Of Panetics, Russell Doyle Amerson
The Universal Duty To Alleviate Inflicted Suffering: An Ethical Grounding For Siu's New Discipline Of Panetics, Russell Doyle Amerson
Other
Dr. Ralph G. H. Siu has challenged the intellectual community with a call for a new academic discipline that he calls Panetics (from the Pali word paneti meaning 'to inflict'). Panetics is the study of humanly engendered suffering, its causes and methods of alleviation. Suffering is measured in units called dukkhas (from the Pali word dukkha meaning suffering), which are the product of the intensity of pain and the amount of time the pain is endured. The result will be in terms of units of suffering, i.e. the dukkha. Dr. Siu has argued that this new academic discipline is not …

Paleoecology And Ecomorphology Of The Giant Short-Faced Bear In Eastern Beringia, Paul Edward Matheus
Paleoecology And Ecomorphology Of The Giant Short-Faced Bear In Eastern Beringia, Paul Edward Matheus
Biological Sciences
The short-faced bear (Arctodus simus) was a widespread Tremarctine bear indigenous to North America until its extinction around 11,500 BP. Arctodus inhabited Pleistocene ice-free refugia in Eastern Beringia (the northwestern limit of its range) until at least 20,000 BP. Because of its gracile, long-legged build and extremely large size, most paleontologists believe this bear was a high-speed pursuit predator which had preyed on the largest herbivores of Pleistocene North America. Alternatively, energetic arguments have been used to suggest that Arctodus was too large to be carnivorous and evolved its large size within an herbivorous or omnivorous niche. To test these …
Underwater Bioacoustic Analysis Of Bearded Seal Behavior Off Barrow, Alaska, Amal Romona Ajmi
Underwater Bioacoustic Analysis Of Bearded Seal Behavior Off Barrow, Alaska, Amal Romona Ajmi
Marine Biology
Bearded seal vocalizations were collected incidentally during the 1993 bowhead whale census. Analysis of seal locations, calculated by triangulation of the vocalizations, provided information on seal swim velocity, distribution, and movement. Swim speeds fell within previously documented values. Seal positions, when correlated with satellite images, suggested that seal distribution was directly associated with ice topography. Individually tracked seals exhibited different types of movements including: maintenance of position, rapid increase in speed and slower, prolonged directional travel. Swim speeds, distributions, and movements suggest distinct behaviors which may include foraging, territorial or female defense, or display. Movement and behaviors may alter as …

Culture And Empire: Rudyard Kipling's Indian Fiction, Eric John Grekowicz
Culture And Empire: Rudyard Kipling's Indian Fiction, Eric John Grekowicz
English
A survey of Rudyard Kipling's Indian fiction indicates that his writings reflect a deeply-felt ambivalence toward the imperial projects of his contemporaries. Kipling condemns British characters who denigrate Indians or India, and in doing so, he subverts the Victorian notion of Britain's innate superiority. Kipling's early fiction reveals the author's respect for Eastern culture and religion. His India represents a utopic vision of cultural mixing. An anthropological perspective on these stories shows that the Indian fiction is designed to create cross-cultural communication. Kipling illustrates how failure to understand India ultimately destroys the British, and by attacking many of the injustices …
Stalking The Schoolwork Module: Teaching Prospective Teachers To Write Historical Narratives, G. Williamson Mcdiarmid, P. Vinten-Johansen
Stalking The Schoolwork Module: Teaching Prospective Teachers To Write Historical Narratives, G. Williamson Mcdiarmid, P. Vinten-Johansen
ISER Reports
Few educational slogans have had more play over the last decade than “writing to learn”. The idea is intuitively appealing: that in striving to summarize, organize, synthesize, develop, and communicate ideas and information, we must, in the process, clarify and extend our own understandings. Many have championed the “writing to learn” cause. In the study described below, the first author, Vinten-Johansen, engaged his undergraduates, all of whom planned to teach, in a structured process of writing historical narratives. His purpose was to help them learn not only to make historical arguments in writing—a capacity that has applications far beyond academic …
Dynamics Of The Fur Trade On The Middle Yukon River, Alaska, 1839 To 1868, Katherine Louise Arndt
Dynamics Of The Fur Trade On The Middle Yukon River, Alaska, 1839 To 1868, Katherine Louise Arndt
Anthropology
This study examines the Russian-era fur trade of the middle course of the Yukon River, that section of the river which extends from Fort Yukon down to Nulato, Alaska. For a period of just over twenty years, 1847 to 1868, the Russian-American and Hudson's Bay companies maintained rival establishments at opposite ends of this stretch of river and vied for the trade of the Native populations living in the region between. After reviewing the events leading up to the establishment of the first European posts in the region, the study focuses on the dynamics of the competition between the rival …
