Digging Paradise: Historical And Archeological Miscellany Of The U.S. Virgin Islands, Kenneth Baumgardt

The Bridge

During the 1980's and 1990's, the firm of MAAR Associates of Newark, Delaware, conducted more than thirty archeological investigations of the prehistoric sites and Danish Plantations of the U. S. Virgin Islands. These studies were conducted to fulfill the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act prior to proposed hotel construction there. However, after the islands were devastated by Hurricane Hugo in 1987, many of these projects were never built. Nonetheless, a great volume of information about the history and prehistory of the Virgin Islands was collected. This study will provide a compilation of some of the discoveries made during …

Eschatology, Don Fanning

Bible Doctrines

Bible Doctrines are divided up into nine major categories for connivence. This will be a resource tool for the Bible teacher who can project an image directly from his computer in PowerPoint. A few related topics to the main doctrine are occasionally added for more clarity. The perspective of the author is a firm conviction in the authority and infallibility of God's written Word as the basis for all doctrines.

Społeczna Odpowiedzialność Biznesu. Wymiar Konstytucyjny I Międzynarodowy, Maciej Bernatt

Monografie CARS/CARS Monographs

Czwarta publikacja z serii „Studiów i Monografii Antymonopolowych i Regulacyjnych” – efekt indywidualnego projektu badawczego autora – jest pierwszym w Polsce tak kompleksowym ujęciem zagadnienia społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu z perspektywy nauk prawnych, zwłaszcza w wymiarze konstytucyjnym i międzynarodowym.

Prezentowane w książce normatywne spojrzenie na społeczną odpowiedzialność biznesu może mieć duże znaczenie praktyczne zarówno jako przyczynek do dyskursu naukowego nad tym zjawiskiem, jak i zachęta do angażowania się przedsiębiorców w działania prospołeczne. Prawne spojrzenie na społeczną odpowiedzialność biznesu pozwala także oderwać to zjawisko od jego tradycyjnego pojmowania jedynie w kategoriach promocji przedsiębiorców. Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje prezentowane przez autora porównanie obowiązków …

Acceptability Of Variation In Modern Hebrew Spirantization, Michal Temkin Martinez

Mary Ellen Ryder Linguistics Lab

Modern Hebrew spirantization is an allophonic distribution where the stops [p], [b], and [k] regularly alternate with [f], [v], and [x], respectively, with the fricatives surfacing post-vocalically. There are exceptions to spirantization, with stops occurring post-vocalically and fricatives surfacing elsewhere. Additionally, variation has been attested in the regularly alternating pairs. Seventy-four native Hebrew speakers rated the acceptability of variation in regularly alternating pairs and exceptional segments. Results showed that, as hypothesized, variation was less natural than the expected form of a given word. Furthermore, variation in exceptional segments was rated less natural than variation in regularly alternating segments.

A Perspective On The History And Philosophy Of Andragogy: An International Sketch, John Henschke

Adult Education Faculty Works

This paper on the History and Philosophy of Andragogy is mainly limited (with a few exceptions) to a chronological history and the accompanying philosophy of andragogy, in line with when the English language documents were published and personal descriptions of events were written down. Some of these documents, however, present aspects of the events and ideas which recount the years and contexts in which they appeared in published form. This will not be an exact history of the events and philosophy as they appear in chronological order. But, this will be presented in the general sequence of the years that …

A Productive Decade Of Andragogy's History And Philosophy 2000-2009, John Henschke

Adult Education Faculty Works

With the foundation of andragogy having been laid, there was a serious attempt at investigating its value. Some felt that a broad scope was established in the practice to support growth in learners, with any mention of adult learning needing to include andragogy. Others perceived that andragogy produced unproductive debates along a binary path, with its being too caught up in individualization, the politics of exclusion, conformity, and de-contextualizing adult learning. However, some research revealed numerous dimensions of andragogy. The connection with distance learning became very strong and solid. New applications of andragogy were spawned into foreign language learning, internet …

Holding Legislatures Constitutionally Accountable Through Facial Challenges, Caitlin E. Borgmann

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The Roberts Court has viewed facial challenges with skepticism and hostility. The Court issued one early decision suggesting that its primary concern with facial challenges was the breadth of the remedy. More recently, however, the Court has simply denied facial challenges outright without considering the possibility of more limited relief. In these cases, the Court has focused more on the pre-enforcement and broadranging nature of facial challenges, expressing a preference for concrete evidence that a law has harmed, or will harm, particular classes of individuals. While placing a heavy burden on plaintiffs to demonstrate actual or likely harm, the Court …

Reclaiming Paul? Reconfiguration As Reclamation In 3 Corinthians, Benjamin L. White

Publications

This article pursues an alternative approach to situating the historical circumstances and rhetorical strategies of the author of 3 Corinthians. Whereas most scholarship on 3 Corinthians has set out to ascertain the specific opponents lurking behind the polemic of the text (Simon Magus, Saturnilus, Marcion, Valentinus, etc.), I believe that this task is futile and that a close reading of the “Paul” constructed by the text’s author pays more fruitful dividends in situating the text. Specifically, I will argue that 3 Corinthians is a late secondcentury proto-orthodox invocation of the “Pastoral” Paul (i.e. the Paul of the Pastoral Epistles), …

Protection Of Languages And Self-Expressions Under Islamic Law, Liaquat Ali Khan

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

Islamic law recognizes two distinct divine rights, one applying to speech communities and the other to individuals. The divine right to language allows each speech community to preserve and celebrate its native language free of coercion and disrespect from other speech communities. Native languages are the assets of speech communities. Islamic law prohibits coercive degradation of native languages while at the same time it interposes no barriers in learning other languages. Closely related to the right to language is the divine right to individual self-expression or self-determination. Each human being is unique because God, the Master-Artist, shapes each human being …

Politics Or Metaphysics? On Attributing Psychological Properties To Animals, Kristin Andrews

Sentience Collection

Following recent arguments that there is no logical problem with attributing mental or agential states to animals, I address the epistemological problem of how to go about making accurate attributions. I suggest that there is a two-part general method for determining whether a psychological property can be accurately attributed to a member of another species: folk expert opinion and functionality. This method is based on well-known assessments used to attribute mental states to humans who are unable to self-ascribe due to an early stage of development or impairment, and can be used to describe social and emotional development as well …
