	Role homogeneity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In sociology, role homogeneity is the degree of overlap amongst the different roles performed by different members of a community.
		Rural sociologists often note that amongst rural communities there exists a very high degree of role homogeneity, that is, one person may perform the duties of banker, coach, deacon, school board member, and neighbor.
		Sociologists have demonstrated that in areas of strong homogeneity, there is a general tendency to repress controversy.

	The role of the state in a traditional society
		Before that, the role of the state was essentially simple, whether it was a city state or an empire.
		The political role of the state is now dominated by democratization, free and fair elections, good governance and the protection of human rights.
		Perhaps, the dominant role of trade and migration in Yemen's history is the reason for this phenomenon.

	Europa/Competition/OLIGOPOLISTIC DOMINANCE
		A high level of concentration, homogeneity of products, existence of traditional focal points for prices, the availability of market statistics in the short run, and the nature of the negotiations and the commercial relations with customers are the main factors on which the Commission has analyzed transparency in its decisions.
		The homogeneity of the suppliers after the merger is less important, in the sense that asymmetries in themselves are not sufficient to exclude oligopolistic dominance.
		Under all jurisdictions, the role of customers and the nature of their relations with their suppliers is considered an important element of the assesment.

		Community participation in policing is conceptualised as limited to four primary roles: as the 'eyes and ears' of the police; as 'cheerleading'; as a source of monetary assistance and as what Buerger terms 'statement making', acts of symbolic confrontation carried out either independently or in concert with the police.
		A role is the behaviour expected of a person occupying a given status or social position and the rights associated with it.
		Since roles are, in essence, socially defined expectations that an individual, in a given social position follows we should however, in theory at least be able to generalise across occupational types (Giddens, 1997: 79).

		Homogeneous localities, therefore, could no longer be viewed as basis for action, because lacking coherence, they may lead to disorientation.
		The omnipresence of strangers and the inability of the nation states by means of top- down action to provide a basis for development of an individual able to act in the uncertain environment in an era of global communication demands new ways of approaching education in terms of equality and difference.

		The importance of discussant homogeneity for the stability of voting intention was originally shown by the pioneering work of Lazarsfeld and colleagues who studied the American presidential elections of 1940 (Lazarsfeld, Berelson and Gaudet, 1948) and 1948 (Berelson, Lazarsfeld and McPhee, 1954).
		While we expect discussant homogeneity to be related to the stability of both partly identification and attitudes, there is no clear basis for expecting a relationship between discussant homogeneity and the consistency of political attitudes.
		Homogeneity would be the vehicle through which stability is achieved, rather than the cause of the stability.

	THE LEGEND OF COSMOLOGICAL HOMOGENEITY
		The envisioned cosmological homogeneity is not a virtually perfect homogeneity such as is found in a pure quartz crystal, but rather is a statistical homogeneity, which becomes more perfect as you increase the size of the observed volume.
		In astrophysics, one basic way to test for the presence of a homogeneous large-scale distribution of matter is to to check one vast volume for an even distribution of matter, radiation or motion.
		The first serious challenge to the assumption of cosmological homogeneity came in the latter half of the 1920s when astronomers confirmed that stars were not homogeneously distributed, but rather were amassed in huge "island universes" which we now call galaxies.

		With regard to the concept of "philosophy of religion" itself we are in a state of serious indecision, and it is therefore necessary to attempt to assume a point of view, on one hand is as general as possible and on the other considers the Girardian perspective within which we are working.
		This is the moment in which the greatest benefits are obtained from expulsion, because it succeeded perfectly: the victim is respected and adored, to the extent in which we are completely convinced that he is responsible for all the evil and for all the violence.
		Through these mirrored roles played successively by religion and philosophy, it is possible to understand their "enemy sisters" nature.

	Homogeneous Pink
		The homogeneity in question is not uniformity of color, but rather refers to the fact that pink is a simple logical quality: all its parts, no matter how small, are pink.
		The crux of the argument concerns the notion of ultimate homogeneity, and the sense in which the colors of objects or the counterpart properties of sensations are ultimately homogeneous.
		The sense impression of the pink ice cube is ultimately homogeneous if and only if whenever one has an impression of a point y between points x and z on the cube, the impression of y is between* the impression of x and the impression of z.

		The importance of these artifacts lies foremost in their mediation of the role of meaning in human actions, actions which are always also material processes entrained in the larger dynamics of ecological-social systems.
		Linked through the role of meaning in the material dynamics of ecosocial systems, human organisms and natural or artifactual objects are the irreducible participants in the local dynamics of interaction.
		One is the role of human semiotic valuations in determining what species we favor or disfavor, what materials we accumulate or disperse, and the differential ways we treat various categories of our fellow humans that are also grounded in such valuations.

		These data suggest that histamine-induced Ca release has at least a small role in the initial phase of contraction; however, other contractile mechanisms appear to be able to compensate for loss of Ca release with only modest changes in contraction kinetics.
		Next, we evaluated the role of SERCA, the Ca pump located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane, in refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum with Ca Tissues were treated as in Fig.
		These data suggest that Ca uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum was partially responsible for preventing Ca influx from reaching the central cytoplasm where it could induce a contraction (this is the 'buffer barrier' hypothesis).

		Nevertheless, the accomplishment of such a task was not without difficulty, requiring homogeneity of the categories, i.e., a harmonious transposition of the modes of appearing to the modes of being, certainly in the light of a Semiotics or Logic capable of ensuring a formal course to the investigation.
		This is one of the structural points of Peircean philosophy on which we are, again, adamant: the homogeneity of categories is a prerequisite for overcoming a genesis dichotomy between subject and object, an original estrangement between Man and Nature, typical of a nominalist tradition in the History of Philosophy, so strongly criticized by Peirce.
		Indeed, the homogeneity of categories will enable the signical forms not to be exclusively concentrated on the word or on the various expressions of the human language.

		The central claim of the theory is that the strength and power of party leadership is primarily dependent on how homogeneous the policy views are within the two parties (especially the majority), and on how far apart the policy views of the parties are.
		During the 1980s, as the homogeneity of the parties increased, Democratic leaders became more aggressive in exploiting their increased powers to produce policy outcomes favorable to their party at the expense of the GOP minority.
		As noted above, while the homogeneity of policy preferences among House Republicans, and the divergence between the GOP and the Democrats was central to these developments, the personality and skills of leaders play a significant role, and Gingrich epitomized this aspect of the theory.
