Liberal Protestantism and Science
Authors: Muray Leslie A. 
Published: June 2024

Many students and members of the public who follow news reports on science and religion may think that Protestantism and science are in conflict. But while evangelical attacks on evolution may make the headlines, many mainstream Protestant groups have long embraced science and the scientific worldview. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion covers those Protestant thinkers who seek to use the insights of science to further their understanding of religion and faith.
In addition, the volume will also discuss such trends at the liberal protestant acceptance of evolution, the advent of ecotheology, and the Social Gospel.
The volume includes a selection of primary source documents, a glossary and a timeline, and an annotated bibliography of the most useful resources for further research.
Longing in Belonging
Authors: Ilcan Suzan 
Published: June 2024

The mobilization of people, populations, and places—and the social interrelations of space and time, memory and longing, and the global and local—are uniquely analyzed in this fascinating study. Instead of viewing social and cultural relations through the lenses of rigid institutions, fixed territories, or rooted communities, Ilcan focuses on mobile sites to explore the cultural politics of settlement. This book examines the social relations of longing and belonging to be found in nation building, ethnographic practices, dwelling, and diasporas.
Ilcan propels us into various dimensions of movement, as well as social relations in the fields of dispersion, transition, and displacement. Drawing on insights from cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology, she inquires into contemporary and critical issues on the movement of peoples. Transitional communities represent the tensions and risks confronting those compelled to leave home, or those for whom a sense of longing superseded any feeling of belonging.
This book provides fresh insight into the placement, and displacement, of particular social groups, including guest workers, migrants, and immigrants. Ilcan covers the varieties of diasporic relations and the settlements they form, as well as the manifold ways in which they affect traditional practices of settlement. She considers the cultural, economic, and political implications of globalization, evoking the struggle in our places of habitation, and the strategies deployed to subvert our habits of settlement.
Methodological Approaches to the Study of Career
Authors: Borgen William A. , Young Richard A. 
Published: June 2024

This volume addresses a wide range of methodological approaches to the study of career with particular emphasis on alternative approaches. The contributors challenge those who see the traditional positivist empirical methodology as the only appropriate methodology with which to address important career questions and issues, arguing instead that the subject of career can best be studied within a number of disciplines, and using a variety of methodologies. Among the alternative methodologies explored by the contributors and employed in studies reported in this volume are those based on contextual/systems research, human action inquiry, and phenomenological/hermeneutical research. These alternatives, the contributors assert, are more responsive to human experience and social issues and are, therefore, often more viable for the study of career and career-related issues than is the positivist approach. Researchers in educational psychology, counseling psychology, and human resources will find this book an important contribution to the professional literature.
Divided into three parts, the volume begins by identifying a number of specific questions--involving terminology, assessment, samples, culture, and outcomes--that contribute to the complexity of career research. Part two contains seven chapters, each of which addresses a generic research approach relevant to research in the career area. Both epistemological issues and the specifics of methods and techniques are addressed in these chapters. Among the approaches covered are Vondracek's developmental-contextual approach to career development research, narrative approaches, and the use of ethnography in career education studies. In the third section, the contributors use a range of methodologies to address appropriate topics in the career field, including the impact of parental influence on career choice, the problem of unemployment, midlife career change, and women's career development.
Permission to Remain Among Us
Authors: Waite Cally L. 
Published: June 2024

Waite details the history of the community of Oberlin, Ohio, which demonstrated a commitment to the education of blacks during the antebellum period that was rare at the time. By the end of Reconstruction, however, black students at Oberlin were becoming segregated, and events at the college influenced the rest of the community, with neighborhoods, houses of worship, and social interaction becoming segregated. Waite suggests that Oberlin's history mirrors the story of race in America.
The decision to admit black students to Oberlin College, and offer them the same curriculum as their white classmates, challenged the notion of black intellectual inferiority that prevailed during the antebellum period. Following the model of the college, the public schools of Oberlin were integrated in direct opposition to state laws that forbade the education of black children with public funds.
However, after Reconstruction (1877), the nation tried to negotiate the future of a newly freed and barely educated people. In Oberlin, this change was evidenced by the gradual segregation of black students at the college. In the community, newly segregated neighborhoods, houses of worship and social interaction took hold in the former interracial utopia. The country looked to Oberlin as a model for integrated education at the end of the 19th century only to find that it, too, had succumbed to segregation. This study examines why, and focuses on the intersection of three national issues: the growth of the black church, increased racism and discrimination, and the transformation of higher education.
Policy Passages
Authors: Wiarda Howard J. 
Published: June 2024

What options are available now or in the future for students interested in a public policy career? How do they train, network, and advance in the field? Students, parents, professors, guidance counselors, and department chairs are often frustrated by the absence of a solid, readable book on policy careers and options. This book presents the career stories of twenty scholars and policy practitioners who have worked in Congress, the State Department, the CIA, Defense, international agencies, think tanks, the media, and major law firms—all of whom have been influential in shaping public policy—to give readers an accurate and realistic view of life outside the academic world.
No other book provides this type of solid advice for young policy professionals and for older scholars considering career changes. As such, it is vital reading in guidance and department collections, and an essential addition to the personal bookshelves of individual students, scholars, and researchers.

The study of psychology for the uses of the state, for industrial/labor purposes, for dealing with individual and ethnic tensions has a long history in Russia. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian psychologists and scholars of the discipline from outside Russia have had the opportunity to reexamine the directions the discipline took as well as the directions likely to result from the new academic and political environments. This volume brings together many of the leading figures in contemporary Russian psychology, who show how the discipline got to where it is and examine what may result in the future.
The volume begins with essays examining historical background; next the writers look at the period from 1985-1994 and its impact on research opportunities. This discussion is followed by a review of the major theoretical viewpoints and issues in contemporary Russian psychology. By bringing together many of the leading figures in Russian psychology, readers and researchers in psychology have a unique insight into the state of the discipline and its likely future directions.
Daily Life in Colonial Africa
Authors: Falola Toyin 
Published: June 2024

Discover how European colonization across the many regions in Africa dramatically altered the continent and the daily lived experiences of its peoples.
Daily Life in Colonial Africaexplores nine facets of daily life in the European-colonized African continent, such as domestic, economic, political, and religious life. Examples of everyday people—farmers forced to switch to cash crops, people of faith melding native traditions and European Christian doctrine on beliefs about the afterlife, storytellers using allegory to discreetly challenge colonial rule—show how colonialization impacted every aspect of life for Africa’s indigenous people, as well as how they adapted to new ways of life while maintaining their cultural roots. Alongside the main text, helpful additional resources such as a timeline of the colonization of Africa and a glossary of terms provide useful context for understanding what life in this period of history was truly like for the many different people and groups affected by Africa’s colonization.

Reduced particle composition dependence in condensation particle counters

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Modern condensation particle counters (CPCs) are indispensable instruments for studies of aerosols in all measurement environments. Relying on heterogeneous nucleation as the basic principle, the composition dependence of particle activation is a source of profound uncertainty for the accurate assessment of new particle formation (NPF) events. While development efforts successfully pushed down minimum detectable particle sizes in recent years, composition-dependent counting efficiencies have remained to be a persisting issue in aerosol research. Addressing this pressing problem, we present calibrations of a newly developed CPC, the Airmodus A30 (Airmodus Ltd., Helsinki, Finland), that uses non-hazardous propylene glycol as working fluid. Our results conclusively demonstrate that composition-dependent particle detection can be reduced to the brink of disappearance by choice of the working fluid and corresponding high supersaturation. Counting efficiencies were determined for a set of size-selected and chemically diverse seed particles, and the measured 50 % cutoff diameters were compared to previous studies. Using computational fluid dynamics simulations, we show that the composition dependence appears to decrease with increasing saturation ratios achieved inside the CPC. Hence, our study assists in the development of future CPCs and elucidates a potential mechanism to reduce measurement uncertainties arising from composition-dependent counting efficiencies.

O pensamento analético dusseliano na construção das epistemologias do sul e a superação do irracionalismo moderno: uma crítica ao método dialético habermasiano de inclusão do outro
Authors: Silva Willaine Araújo , Teixeira João Paulo Allain 
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo busca explorar os modelos de reconhecimento e inclusão oferecidos por Enrique Dussel e Jürgen Habermas. Procura, com ênfase na perspectiva decolonial dusseliana, apontar os limites do modelo habermasiano, particularmente diante de um passado colonial. Busca-se assim discutir o mito da Modernidade e a consequente construção da linha abissal que dividiu o mundo entre o “lado de lá” e o “lado de cá” e as consequências epistemológicas e jurídicas dessa divisão. Em um segundo momento, buscamos examinar as teorias formuladas a partir do século XIX de reconhecimento do Outro para, traçando uma crítica a elas, baseadas numa lógica dialética universalizante propor a utilização da chamada analética como mecanismo de efetiva libertação dos povos latino-americanos e cuja lógica seria capaz de embasar verdadeiras epistemologias do sul, enquanto proposta epistemológica, insurgente contra o projeto de dominação capitalista perpetrada pela Modernidade.
Considerações sobre o ensino jurídico e a inserção de um novo ramo de Direito da Energia
Authors: Costa Hirdan Katarina de Medeiros , Eslabão Andrieza de Aquino , Maia Fernando Joaquim Ferreira 
Published: June 2024

O pensamento e raciocínio exercem uma influência essencial na vivência da disciplina jurídica, porquanto são instrumentos que justificam sua própria existência, dado que a simples aplicação de um texto normativo pura não existe, necessita-se do hermeneuta e de todo um sistema voltado a sua concretização. A partir dessa perspectiva, o presente artigo pretende tecer considerações sobre o ensino jurídico e a inserção de um novo ramo do Direito da Energia. A metodologia utilizada no desenvolvimento do trabalho baseou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica. Verificou-se através da literatura consultada a importância do pensamento na didática do ensino jurídico para fins de construção de um profissional habilitado para lidar com as diversas questões que a carreira jurídica irá demandar. A perspectiva procedimental foi trazida à tona como importante vetor na reflexão e construção jurídica para refletir os anseios sociais. Outrossim, foi possível verificar que a literatura científica internacional já vem indicando a relevância do estudo do Direito da Energia enquanto disciplina autônoma, o que se justifica tanto em virtude da importância da construção de premissas e princípios próprios quanto pelos efeitos econômicos, sociais e ambientais que a área gera. Com isso, surge a relevância de se compreender o Direito da Energia e seus desafios e desenvolvimentos atuais, principalmente, considerando a transformação dos países para economias de baixa emissão de carbono. A inserção de um novo campo de pensamento jurídico a partir da didática de ensino emerge enquanto relevante caminho para a construção crítica de premissas próprias voltadas para uma área que tradicionalmente recebe interpretações emprestadas de outros campos do direito. Fundamentado nas raízes hermenêuticas do ensino jurídico, concluiu-se pela pertinência do estudo da disciplina do Direito da Energia enquanto disciplina autônoma.
IL PAESAGGIO LINGUISTICO PER LE COMPETENZE DIGITALI:
Authors: Bellinzona Martina 
Published: June 2024

L’impiego e la valorizzazione del paesaggio linguistico come risorsa educativa offre l’opportunità di arricchire l’esperienza didattica, in quanto permette agli studenti di ottenere una prospettiva unica sulla complessità e la stratificazione della variazione linguistica e sociolinguistica, culturale e semiotica, caratteristiche della comunicazione pubblica nella società attuale. In questo studio è stato valutata l’efficacia di un approccio basato sull’esplorazione diretta e l’analisi del paesaggio linguistico da parte di studenti universitari sullo sviluppo di competenze digitali e in materia di cittadinanza. I risultati della sperimentazione, conclusasi con la realizzazione di un sito web, confermano la validità di un tale metodo per l’acquisizione di abilità di decodifica e di una maggiore consapevolezza linguistica critica, nonché per lo sviluppo di abilità espositive, multimodali e legate all’alfabetizzazione digitale. L’esperienza descritta si configura, dunque, come modello efficace per l’integrazione di competenze multiple nel contesto accademico. Le conclusioni cui si giunge delineano nuove prospettive didattiche e di ricerca, volte a preparare gli studenti a essere cittadini globali, consapevoli e competenti.

The linguistic landscape for digital competences: a didactic experiment in a university context

The implementation and enhancement of linguistic landscape as an educational resource offers the opportunity to enrich the learning experience. Indeed, it enables students to gain a unique perspective on the complexity and stratification of linguistic, sociolinguistic, cultural, and semiotic variation, characteristic of public communication in the contemporary society. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an approach based on direct exploration and analysis of the linguistic landscape by university students in developing digital and citizenship competences. The results of the educational activity, culminating in the creation of a website, confirm the validity of such a method for acquiring decoding skills and increasing critical language awareness, as well as for the development of expressive, multimodal, and digital literacy skills. Therefore, the described experience emerges as an effective model for integrating multiple competences in the academic context. The conclusions outline new educational and research perspectives aimed at preparing students to be informed and competent global citizens.
