This chapter builds on the assumption that constitutional references to the historical constitution can contribute to the community building process in Hungary. While this assumption itself might be contended, this paper puts aside the question of whether the Hungarian historical constitution could be revived in legal terms or whether it could have legally binding force in any way. Instead, it will approach the question from a non-legalistic point of view and consider whether references to the Hungarian historical constitution might be useful and desirable from the perspective of community building. To put it briefly, this chapter contends that it might be useful and desirable but only under certain circumstances. Unfortunately, whether these conditions prevail can only be established retrospectively.
This chapter considers the initial preparation of the many-particle system, whose control is achieved before the reference time t₀ when the time-dependent perturbation begins to act on the system. After t₀, the system is let to evolve in time according to the full time-dependent Hamiltonian. The initial control can be either full or partial. Full control signifies that at t₀ the system is prepared in a definite “pure” quantum state (like the ground state), while partial control signifies that initially the system is only known to be in a “mixture” of states with given probabilities, such that the information on the phases of the superposition is lost. These two cases are here treated separately.
This chapter addresses intimate relationships of Black populations, as well as the sociocultural and economic contexts in which they are embedded. The authors underscore the heterogeneity of Black populations both in, and outside of, the United States. How racial discrimination is experienced, and the impact of that experience, differs across Black populations – underscoring heterogeneity. While some research suggests that racial discrimination contributes to negative relationship dynamics, other work suggests that when some individuals experience racial discrimination their partners engage in supportive behaviors. Despite declines and delays in marriage, many U.S.-born Blacks are still pursuing marital unions and are happily married (Skipper & Taylor, 2021; Skipper et al., 2021). This is likely a function of relational resilience, or even the Black Advantage Vision as many U.S. Black couples adapt and strive in spite of seemingly unsurmountable stressors over which they have little control.
Relationship development and growth have long drawn the interest of relationship scholars. This chapter focuses on the theoretical frameworks that have guided inquiry. We begin by explicating the term relationship development, including different ways researchers have studied it. Traditional theories (e.g., relational dialectics, relationship stage models, social exchange, social penetration, relational turning points) are described, alongside recently developed perspectives on relationship development and growth (e.g., relational turbulence theory, the relationship trajectory framework). The chapter also discusses current research associated with the theories and how this scholarship informs our understanding of the initiation of relationships and how relationships develop over the lifespan. Special attention is paid to the development and maintenance of marginalized relationships. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research, including the need to assess the ability of current theories to describe development in different relationship contexts (e.g.., friendships, courtship, families) and in different communication contexts (e.g., online, offline).
The effects of the coupling to the environment can also manifest itself in a superfluid Fermi system. This chapter explicitly considers this case, by addressing the time-dependent behavior of the gap parameter following a sharp quench of the coupling parameter of the contact interaction. In this case, coupling the system to the environment is important for reaching equilibrium eventually. Several simplifying assumptions are adopted along the way for treating the problem in an as simple as possible way.
Making Sense of Mass Education gives a comprehensive overview of the cultural contexts of education, addressing and debunking important myths in the field. This book is an approachable text for undergraduate and postgraduate readers studying the Sociology and Philosophy of Education. The text covers the rise of mass schooling as a disciplinary institution, including the governance of subjectivity and the regulation of childhood and youth. It examines cultural forces on the field of education and addresses the influence of philosophical thought. In the landscape of mass education, change is constant. New topics covered in the fifth edition include education policy, teachers' work, place, online spaces and artificial intelligence. Each chapter features margin definitions and boxes exploring a range of myths, encouraging teachers to think critically. Making Sense of Mass Education continues to be pertinent for pre-service and practising teachers in Australian contexts.
The aim of this chapter is to offer a study of the role of Europe (and European integration) in the Italian constitutional imagination. The argument identifies three phases which have shaped the way European integration (and more generally the horizon of European political unity) has been perceived by Italian constitutional actors (and especially by political parties). The first phase goes from 1943 to 1946 and is animated by a majority consensus for European political integration, with the exception of the Communist Party. The second phase, starting from the inception of the Constituent Assembly, is one where the telos of European unity does not occupy a central position in the constitutional imagination any longer, and it is ‘downgraded’ to a question of ordinary politics. The third phase (whose beginning can be conventionally identified with the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty) is one where European integration makes a comeback in the constitutional imagination but under the guise of the external bound. In conclusion, the chapter advances the hypothesis that this last phase is marked by the incapacity of Italian political parties to struggle for a constitutional imagination that is not colonised by markets and their imperatives.
This chapter describes how the book contributes to the understanding of lawmaking under authoritarianism by specifying the conditions under which legislatures perform their lawmaking function within authoritarian regimes, showing the mechanisms through which legislatures operate and influence the contents of policies, and helping to elucidate the ways in which legislatures may be consequential both to policymaking and politics, thus extending the scope conditions of power-sharing accounts of lawmaking to any type of autocracy. It also suggests how the theory and methods employed may be used to study the role of business and bureacracies in authoritarian regimes, and to recast the approaches to federalism and policymaking under dictatorship, and to the role of legislature in regime transitions.
This case study examines the management of a dog bite injury in a flood-prone coastal region following a Category 5 hurricane. The scenario involves a 58-year-old male with hypertension and type 2 diabetes who was bitten by a large dog while attempting a rescue operation. The patient presents with multiple deep lacerations and puncture wounds on his right forearm, significant pain, and swelling. The case highlights the critical steps in evaluating and managing bite wounds in a disaster setting, including scene safety, situational awareness, personal protective equipment (PPE), wound irrigation, decontamination, dressing, and splinting. Emphasis is placed on the importance of communication and teamwork among the rescue team, coordination with animal control, and effective communication with receiving medical facilities. The scenario also addresses the need for advanced management, including imaging, antibiotics, and postexposure prophylaxis for tetanus and rabies. This study serves as an educational tool for medical professionals in emergency medicine and disaster response, providing insights into the complexities of managing animal bite injuries in challenging environments.
This chapter systematizes the argument that the Court should and can calibrate its proportionality test to the infrastructural dimension of the populist attack on democratic and rule of law provisions – and, as such, operate the test as ‘anti-populist detector and responder’. While the general argument is all stages of proportionality aims at enhancing deliberation, representation and the rule of law in populist context, the specific argument is Court should revise its approach to the second stage of the proportionality assessment, the purpose or ‘legitimate aim’ of the interference, by holistically inferentially screening a wider spectrum of potential infrastructural erosion.
This chapter theorises the embodiment of timbral gesture in electronic dance music (EDM) as a convergence point between the vexed categories of affect and meaning. It is argued that timbre is inseparable from gesture in the listening experience and that the embodiment of synthesised gestures affords listeners new ways of experiencing their body-minds by exercising their perceptual agency through sonic prosthesis. In social EDM settings, the heightened potential for entrainment to both the music and other co-participants, together with the established role of entrainment in facilitating social bonding, suggests that the timbral gestures of EDM could be key to fostering intersubjectivity among those present. Considering this, the imaginative embodiment of timbral gestures is shown to constitute a necessary first step towards the communal rationalisation of the EDM experience and the social emergence of musical meaning.
This chapter argues that linguists should expand the data used in linguistics education to include second language data and that expanding linguistic education to include second language and multilingualism at its core would put the field of linguistics in a better position to bridge the gap between second language education programs and linguistics. It gives several arguments for including second language data in linguistics education: Second language data are natural language data and should be included in models of language, second language acquisition and first language acquisition share many characteristics, knowledge of second language acquisition will put graduates in a stronger position for academic jobs, and including second language data in linguistics education can promote an awareness of linguistic diversity and work toward a more inclusive field. It offers some suggestions for how to incorporate second language data into linguistics courses and a discusses some of the barriers to this proposal. It concludes with two examples of exercises which use second language data to reinforce basic linguistic concepts.
In 1981, Britain’s Conservative government endorsed the execution of Seymour Thomas in Belize, shortly before the nation’s independence. This decision was consistent with support among sections of the Conservative Party for the resumption of hanging in the UK, but Thomas would be the last person executed in a British Dependent Territory. This chapter explores the reasons why Britain’s tolerance of the Dependent Territories death penalty became difficult to sustain over subsequent years. They included calls for abolition from governors who were uncomfortable administering the prerogative of mercy; an increasingly interventionist British approach to Dependent Territories governance in response to drug trafficking and corruption; abolitionist trends in international law and European allies’ foreign policies and repeated votes by MPs against the reintroduction of the death penalty in Britain. An increase in violent crime, coupled with the Caribbean’s booming tourist industry, also increased the likelihood of foreign nationals’ involvement in capital cases and threatened to cast an unflattering international spotlight on British complicity in capital punishment.
Chapter 4 covers research on special displays, or secondary placements. These displays signify any type of display that is not the product’s ordinary shelf position. In a grocery store, these are typically the endcaps, also called the gondola ends. But these can also be dump bins or pallets put in the middle of the aisle, or some kind of cardboard stand put anywhere on the store floor. In fashion stores these could be mannequins, torsos, or display tables. The special display is typically found to be the most powerful tool in the retailer’s promotion toolbox. It is also found that in general a special display does not cannibalise the sales from the shelf; the special display rather serves as a more efficient retrieval cue, helping shoppers remember that specific category. If the display is a cross-merchandising display, displaying products that go well together – like food items that together could be used to cook a meal, or a mannequin showing an outfit from trousers to top – it can do an even better job at helping the shopper retrieve a latent want. Special displays are effective because their size and location make them more visible than the typical product display in the shelf.
