This paper argues that intentionally developing students’ epistemological awareness as well as materializing common imagination will facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration. Drawing on Itten’s Basic Design Course [9] and providing a framework based on Bachelard’s material imagination [4], a tangible interaction curriculum was designed to guide students through a process of building epistemic...

Knowledge management (KM) is of growing interest in today’s business and academics. The increase in the number of books, articles, and conferences reflects that practitioners and academics alike are trying to improve theories and concepts proposed in the field in order to support KM programs better. On the other hand, there are voices criticizing current practices of KM and calling knowledge ma...

This text is a contribution to the debate about the participation of social scientists in the field of health. The difficulties and perspectives involved in the incorporation of a specific theme such as social movements are treated. When criticizing the heavy emphasis traditionally given to "politics" in Brazilian social analysis, in reality attention is being called to the problem of the decre...

Economic theory has evolved without paying proper attention to behavioral approaches, especially to social, economic, and cognitive psychology. This has recently changed by including behavioral economics courses in many doctoral study programs. Although this new development is most welcome, the typical topics of the behavioral economics courses are not truly behavioral. More specifically, we qu...

Genomic variation among human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) wild-type strains is a well-documented phenomenon probably implicated in HCMV-induced immunopathogenesis. Extensive genetic polymorphism has been detected for the envelope glycoprotein N (gN) and HCMV clinical isolates have been clustered into seven distinct gN variants (gN-1, gN-2, gN-3a, gN-3b, gN-4a, gN-4b, gN-4c). Several studies from dif...

Jim Harter, Animals: J4J9 Copyright.Free lUustralions. olmes Rolston Ill's New York: Dover, 1979 Environmental Ethics1 is a wide-ranging work containing many valuable insights and suggestions. But his account of the human treatment of animals2 is seriously confused. It contains arbitrary distinc­ tions which serve as an apologetic for the status quo in our society. In this paper I explain the p...

Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method and homotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functional equations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of these methods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, but the researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty. Here, after crit...

Loop analysis is a method of qualitative modeling anticipated by Sewall Wright and systematically developed by Richard Levins. In Levins’ (1966) distinctions between modeling strategies, loop analysis sacrifices precision for generality and realism. Besides criticizing the clarity of these distinctions, Orzack and Sober (1993) argued qualitative modeling is conceptually and methodologically pro...
