Information As Verb: Re-Conceptualizing Information For Cognitive And Ecological Models, David G. Casagrande Jan 1999

Information As Verb: Re-Conceptualizing Information For Cognitive And Ecological Models, David G. Casagrande

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Current notions of information are inadequate for ecological and cognitive models because they: 1) only account for information gain that results from reducing uncertainty; 2) assume binary logic; 3) fail to account for semantics and pragmatics; and 4) can not account for shared and externalized cognition. A different model of information is presented here, which treats information as a process of state change (i.e., the term is used as a verb), rather than as a variable. The potential for information is defined to include not only stimuli, but the context of the informational moment; and is distinguished from realized information, …


An Explanatory Model For The Maya Ethnomedical Syndrome Cha'lam Tsots, George E. Luber Jan 1999

An Explanatory Model For The Maya Ethnomedical Syndrome Cha'lam Tsots, George E. Luber

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Although the ethnomedical system of the Highland Maya is generally well understood, little is known about the Tzeltal Maya ethnomedical syndrome Cha'lam tsots, or "second hair." In an attempt to better understand the emic conceptualization, and possible biomedical equivalence of Cha'lam tsots, ethnographic data from semi-structured interviews was collected from the Tzeltal Maya municipality of Tenejapa, in the central highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. Analysis of explanatory models elicited from 20 informants revealed a generalized agreement as to the etiology, symptomatology, course, prognosis, and treatments of this illness. Analysis of these findings will help guide further research into the …


The U.S. Military As An Informational Environment, Eric C. Jones Jan 1999

The U.S. Military As An Informational Environment, Eric C. Jones

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

The historical development of military organization in the United States has been strongly influenced by the desire to make more precise information available to decision-makers at appropriate levels in the chain of command for national security and warfare. By placing the U.S. military in national and international contexts, this paper proposes that its historical development results from the complex informational needs critical to the political-economic evolution of the State. Specifically, technology, strategy, chain of command and battlefield tactics increasingly require improvements in information quantity, quality and analysis.

National Collecting Trends: Collection Analysis Methods And Findings, Anna H. Perrault Jan 1999

National Collecting Trends: Collection Analysis Methods And Findings, Anna H. Perrault

School of Information Faculty Publications

The primary focus of collection evaluation and assessment has been the subjective judgment of the strengths and weaknesses of library collections. The process has generally been a local application, often utilizing peer group comparative data. Quantitative collection analysis to support the subjective processes of collection evaluation and assessment is now almost universally conducted through extraction of data from local systems or network databases. National collecting patterns can be studied through the use of data extracted from the bibliographic utilities. This article examines the use of data from the OCLC/AMIGOS Collection Analysis CD and standard statistical series as a methodology for …

First Ever Discovery Of A Well-Preserved Skull And Associated Skeleton Of Australopithecus, Ronald J. Clarke Oct 1998

First Ever Discovery Of A Well-Preserved Skull And Associated Skeleton Of Australopithecus, Ronald J. Clarke

KIP Articles

Although 74 years have elapsed since the discovery at Taung of the first Australopithecus fossil, and despite intensive fieldwork in East Africa and 32 years of non-stop excavation at Sterkfontein, there has not been a discovery to date of a reasonably intact skull and associated skeleton of an ape-man. This is an account of the extraordinary series of events that led to just such a discovery and a preliminary assessment of the significance of the fossil, which is still largely embedded in the Member 2 breccia of the Sterkfontein Caves near Krugersdorp, South Africa.

Educational Research In Latin America: Review And Perspectives, Abdeljalil Akkari, Soledad Perez Mar 1998

Educational Research In Latin America: Review And Perspectives, Abdeljalil Akkari, Soledad Perez

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The present paper consists of four primary sections. First, we describe the historical context of educational research in Latin America. In the second section, we focus on various theoretical frameworks that are applied to educational research in the region. We identify the main institutions involved in this research in the third section. Finally, in conclusion we offer suggestions that we consider to be of greatest priority for the future of educational research in Latin America.
