A New Concept of Cooperative Security At the moment, the revision of security policy and the formation of a new consensus to support it are still at an early stage of development. Getting on with it means defining the new concept of cooperative security, identifying the trends that motivate it, outlining its implications for practical policy action, and acknowledging its constraints. The formation of a new security order requires that cooperative theaters of military engagement. www.brook.edu /press/books/anewconceptofcooperativesecurity.htm   (308 words)

Encyclopedia: Self-concept The formation of a self image can be a very challenging project for an individual, especially when family, community, or the general society issues strongly negative evaluations of a person that happen to be inaccurate. However, when social forces directed against the individual have been strongly manipulative, it may be very helpful for the individual to secure professional help in rectifying matters. Such rectification is most often directed at the individual, but corrective efforts may also need to be directed against members of the general community and/or social institutions that have manipulated individuals in a detrimental way. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Self_concept   (280 words)

enlightenment: OPAR, Chapter Three There are two parts to a proper definition, both of which follow from the nature of concept-formation. Concepts are built on percepts, but represent a new scale of consciousness, one far more powerful than that open to animals, who function only on the perceptual level of consciousness. Concepts of consciousness (such as "thought", "memory", and "love") are, in one sense, first-level abstractions and, in another, higher-level abstractions. enlightenment.supersaturated.com /essays/text/opar/03.html   (4551 words)

Self-concepts and Self-concept Change A person's self-concept, by virtue of it being a summary formulation of his or her status, is in the bargain a summary formulation of his or her perceived behavioral possibilities, and of the limits on these (Ossorio, 1978, 1982; Roberts, 1985). In contrast, others, whose conception of themselves is that they are "special persons" (Raimy, 1975), will frequently express this with behavior that is arrogant, demanding, presumptuous, condescending, and heedless of the desires and rights of these others. While individuals may in most cases have had little say in its formation, they are now in every case persons who are accepting the statuses assigned by others, and assigning them to themselves. www.sdp.org /sdp/papers/selfconcept.html   (5502 words)

levels The concept of levels is, perhaps, the most important ingredient to a more systemic approach to science learning – in which learners see mathematics and science as unified, coherent, explanatory frameworks for making sense of phenomena at multiples levels of organization. We see the concept of levels as a cornerstone to creating a more interdisciplinary approach to science–and, even more broadly, as a unifying concept to connect different domains of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences as well as the natural sciences. Since the concept of levels is so fundamental to scientific and mathematical understanding, it is curious that it has been so absent from science and mathematics curricula. ccl.northwestern.edu /papers/levels/levels.html   (5502 words)

Banded iron formation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The conventional concept is that the banded iron layers were formed in water as the result of oxygen released by photosynthetic cyanobacteria, combining with dissolved iron in Earth's oceans to form insoluble iron oxides, which precipitated out, forming a thin layer on the substrate, which may have been anoxic mud (forming shale and chert). Banded iron formations (also known as banded ironstone formations) are a distinctive type of rock often found in old sedimentary rocks. It is unclear whether these banded formations were seasonal or followed some other cycle. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Banded_iron_formation   (379 words)

SVP Rep. The Tu Cheng Zi Formation, formerly believed to be middle or late Jurassic, lays stratigraphically under the Yixian Formation that have produced the so-called feathered dinosaurs, Sinosauropteryx, Caudipteryx and Protarchaeopteryx. An Ornithomimus from the Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada and a Gallimimus from the Nemegt formation at Tsaagan Khuushu, Mongolia both have a "beak like structure at the buccal margins of the premaxilla and dentary." This latter specimen displays lamellae on the beak, like those of modern ducks. This structure may have also allowed the animal to display straining behavior.The third dinosaur is a dromaeosaur from the Yixian formation in China whose entire body was covered with three types of integumentary fibers. www.mtblanco.com /html/svp_rep_.html   (379 words)

The Concept of Self - A Study of Black Identity - Richard Allen The Concept of Self examines the historical basis for the widely misunderstood ideas of how African Americans think of themselves individually, and how they relate to being part of a group that has been subjected to challenges of their very humanity. Through the years, African Americans have developed strong, tenacious concepts of self partially based on African cultural and philosophical retentions and as a reaction to historical injustices.

Ablog: the Apress Weblog I suggested to Sergio that we should study his snake venom extract on the renin-angiotensin system, so called because an enzyme known as renin is released from the kidney into the bloodstream and thus leading to the formation of a very strong pressor substance called angiotensin. I suggested to Squibb that this inhibition of ACE by the snake venom peptide would test the concept as to whether angiotensin was involved in high blood-pressure or not. Eventually, they made a kilogram of the peptide from the snake venom, which was shown in New York by John Laragh to reduce a high blood pressure. gary.apress.com /archives/000486.php?author=gary_cornell   (215 words)

China: Comparing Security Concepts, Dec. 29, 1997 People are appealing for the formation a peaceful and friendly 21st century with common prosperity by means of the new security concept. Third, the traditional security concept holds that the main approach to bring about security is to engage in arms expansion, seek more alliances, and weaken the opponent's forces, whereas the new security concept believes that the correct approach to achieve security is to expand common interests, enhance mutual understanding, and develop mutual cooperation. Second, according to the new security concept, whether a nation constitutes a threat to another nation is not determined by whether it is superior to the latter in military strength but by what policy the former pursues. russia.shaps.hawaii.edu /security/china/comparing-security.html   (916 words)

Electrophilic behavior of 3-methyl-2-methylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazolium salts: a multimodal theoretical approach This evaluation can be made by estimating the corresponding reaction- (or formation-) energies, or by invoking qualitative energy-based concepts such as aromaticity when planar cyclic fully conjugated π-electron systems are involved.           Recently, the generalized concept of philicity at the local and condensed levels (Eq. A simple inspection of the calculated MO for thiadiazolium 1h (Figure 3) reveals the existence of a low-lying (hard) acceptor orbital LUMO of π-symmetry, with significant coefficients over C-2 (also, LUMO+2 has analogous features) that should account, on the basis of the HSAB-principle, for the more favorable donor–acceptor interaction with hard nucleophiles. www.arkat-usa.org /ark/journal/2005/I09_Molina-Elguero/1328/ME-1328H.asp   (4838 words)

MIND Exchange Electrical star formation may also involve catastrophic instabilities, including fissioning, when a part of the star’s core may be expelled, giving birth to a binary or multiple star partner or a close-orbiting gas giant planet. The electric universe explanation requires us to assume that electric currents as observed on Earth and in the solar system are active across intergalactic space, something that we cannot detect except by observing their secondary effects such as magnetic fields, pulsations and explosive flares. The Electric Universe takes plasma cosmology a step further in proposing that a star is primarily an electrical phenomenon, forming a focus within a galactic “glow discharge.” Planets are minor “electrodes” within a stellar discharge envelope. www.kurzweilai.net /mindx/show_thread.php?rootID=31128   (4781 words)

Paul Vanderveen's "Formation of the Concept of Mind" An essential aspect of the formation of the adult concept of mind is the complex cognitive integration of self and others which enables one to recognize instances of minds "in their presence," as in one's ever present direct experience of one's own mind or in one's inferences about others' direct experience of their minds. That they rely on the concept of brain (or proximate tangible body part such as the head) to organize their understanding of the various modes of thinking is the surest indicator that they have not formed an equivalent of the adult concept of mind. Concepts are not and cannot be formed in a vacuum; they are formed in a context; the process of conceptualization consists of observing the differences and similarities of the existents within the field of one's awareness (and of organizing them into concepts accordingly). kendaco.telebyte.com /~jp5/formation.html   (9606 words)

Paul Vanderveen Home Formation of the Concept of Mind explores human development from the preschool years, with its active learning about such actions as thinking, remembering, guessing and pretending, to adulthood and explicit knowledge of minds as such. My first post, "Forming the concept of mind," responds to a member's comment that "we introspectively identify" the mind. Conceptualizing minds instead requires that one cognitively integrate two or more -- that is, one's own and other minds. pacific.telebyte.com /~jp5   (337 words)

History of the Western Canada Concept The Western Canada Concept was launched by a speaking tour of Western Canada in 1980 just as Doug Christie had launched the Committee for Western Independence in 1978. This letter resulted in the formation of a movement called the Committee for Western Independence whose motto was "Separation if necessary, but not necessarily separation." The alternative espoused was a regionally-elected Senate with power equal to the House of Commons and powers of appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada. The party became four parties, one in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. Now, 4 years after that rally on November 20, 1980, some sort of semblance of unity is starting to appear. www.westcan.org /westcan/history.htm   (89 words)

Flying wedge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The formation was banned shortly afterward for this reason, though its concept remains in certain modern football plays. Identical in concept to the military formation, the flying wedge was known for being brutally effective, but also resulting in a high rate of injury on both sides. The formation can also apply to sports, particularly a formation in American football that was introduced by Harvard in an 1892 game against Yale. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flying_wedge   (340 words)

20th WCP: Adorno: Semi-Formation as Cultural Reconstruction of Society If, as antithesis to the socialization of the semi-formation, only the traditional concept of cultural formation is adequate, which itself can be criticized, this expresses a situation which disposes of nothing better than this albeit dubious criterion, because it has missed its chance. The disintegration of the working class, its reconstitution as a mass, the so called end of the working society are not pre-existent, on the contrary, they are results of the same historical process of social formation in which the culture industry develops as a moment of society's constitution. When universality, instead of residing in ideals formed within culture formation, resides on universalization of given cultural goods, the mercantile ideals only integrate the masses. www.bu.edu /wcp/Papers/Soci/SociMaar.htm   (340 words)
