In this article, we present the first results of project OPEN-MATH. The research aims at acknowledging need for learning environments with differentiation strategies all. We developed a model inclusive mathematics learning, based on Theory Objectification and broad idea realized through Open Learning. It poses an interdisciplinary issue that requires collaboration two sub-disciplines pertaining...

De-extinction is the process of creating an organism which is – or greatly resembles – a member of an extinct species (1). Contemporary biotechnology offers various promising alternatives for achieving this purpose, including the techniques that have already been applied to preserving endangered species (2). De-extinction requires an in-depth study of the biophysical conditions where the specie...

This article examines the texts used by madrassah or religious schools in Pakistan which are playing a major role in framing the larger part of madrassah students’ worldview. A considerable part of madrassah graduates are busy in what they called it jihad in Afghanistan Northern Pakistan. Comparing these texts with that of the nineteenth century, this study investigates that how a substantial c...

This article discusses certain aspects of Peircean semiotics as they can contribute to the social analysis of material artifacts. It focuses on the concepts of iconicity and indexicality, paying particular attention to their roles in mediating contingency and causality, and to their relation with possible actions. Because iconicity and indexicality themselves ‘assert nothing,’ their various soc...

Recent research has hypothesized that empowerment can arise from collective action through collective self-objectification (CSO), defined as action that actualizes participants' social identity against the power of dominant groups. Activists (N = 37) described several experiences that made them feel empowered (and disempowered). Among the various explanations they offered for these feelings, th...

NEARLY UNIVERSAL BODY DISSATISFACTION among young Western women has often been attributed, at least in part, to the ubiquitous portrayals of extremely thin models in Western media (e.g., Gordon, 2000; Thompson & Heinberg, 1999). Lin and Kulik (2002) suggested that young women with boyfriends might be less likely to unfavorably compare themselves with these thin media models and consequently hav...

We introduce DLR ,̀ an extension of the n-ary propositionally closed description logic DLR to deal with attribute-labelled tuples (generalising the positional notation), projections of relations, and global and local objectification of relations, able to express inclusion, functional, key, and external uniqueness dependencies. The logic is equipped with both TBox and ABox axioms forming a DLR` k...
