For a discipline that lies beyond the boundaries of what traditionally has been considered the domain of the humanities, political science has not fared badly at the endowment established to promote humanistic knowledge. However, that is a subjective judgment: One of the dubious charms of the NEH has been its failure, until recently, to implement a data collection and retrieval system that could yield information concerning the magnitude of support received by a given discipline. At long last an ADP system, known to its friends as AUGUSTUS (its enemies call it other things), is undergoing debugging. It is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of the current fiscal year.Two additional factors make it difficult to isolate grants awarded in political science. The Endowment, unlike the National Science Foundation, divides its workload principally by the type of audiences at which funded projects are aimed—e.g., the general public, research scholars, educators, community groups—rather than by discipline. Thus, just as there is no English program, so there is no political science program at the Endowment. Projects conducted by political scientists are eligible to compete in all of the funding categories administered by the Divisions of Fellowships, Research Grants, Public Programs, and Education Programs. To the extent that they express local or regional interests and involve a general out-of-school public, they may also compete for funds offered by the State Humanities Committees which serve as regrant agencies for the Endowment.

Soziologische Untersuchungen benutzen typischerweise Informationen, die auf irgendeine Form von face-to-face oder Telephon-Konversationen oder Gruppenaktivitäten zurückgeführt werden können. Zusammenfassungen in verbaler oder numerischer Form repräsentieren Wissen auf verschiedenen Ebenen der Abstraktion, aber es ist schwierig, die anfängliche selektive Organisation und Perzeption der sensorischen Erfahrungen wiederzufinden, ebenso ist es schwierig, die erlernten Aktivitäten zu identifizieren, die zu Erinnerungsstrukturen und kulturell organisierten Formen des Denkens und Urteilens geworden sind. Der Aufsatz beschreibt einige der kognitiven und linguistischen Strukturen und Prozesse, die als wesentliche Bestandteile eines Verstehens von Sozialstruktur angesehen werden. Der empirische Rahmen medizinischer Interviewtätigkeit wird benutzt, um Aspekte der sozialen Interaktion zu analysieren. Die geschriebene medizinische Zusammenfassung wird benutzt, um strukturelle Aspekte von Gesundheit und Krankheit zu diskutieren, die aus der Interviewsituation und vorherigen Erfahrungen ableitbar sind. Kurz wird die Notwendigkeit skizziert, ein semantisches Netzwerkmodell zu entwickeln und einzusetzen, um soziale Interaktion verstehen zu können. Drei miteinander verbundene Typen der logischen Analyse werden beschrieben. Aspekte der Feldforschung werden geschildert, um zu zeigen, wie kognitiv-linguistische Konzepte die traditionellen Forschungsstrategien in Richtung einer vergleichenden Analyse organisatorischer, gesprächsmäßiger und visueller Information lenken können.

Terrorism is a multi dimensional phenomenon and this publication aims at comprehending it. It includes a comprehensive focus on the conceptualization of terrorism and understanding of it. It explains the concept and addresses the important issues which can help us to understand why and how individuals commit such an act

International audience ; As current action remains insufficient to meet the goals of the Paris agreement let alone to stabilize the climate, there is increasing hope that solutions related to demand, services and social aspects of climate change mitigation can close the gap. However, given these topics are not investigated by a single epistemic community, the literature base underpinning the associated research continues to be undefined. Here, we aim to delineate a plausible body of literature capturing a comprehensive spectrum of demand, services and social aspects of climate change mitigation. As method we use a novel double-stacked expert—machine learning research architecture and expert evaluation to develop a typology and map key messages relevant for climate change mitigation within this body of literature. First, relying on the official key words provided to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change by governments (across 17 queries), and on specific investigations of domain experts (27 queries), we identify 121 165 non-unique and 99 065 unique academic publications covering issues relevant for demand-side mitigation. Second, we identify a literature typology with four key clusters: policy, housing, mobility, and food/consumption. Third, we systematically extract key content-based insights finding that the housing literature emphasizes social and collective action, whereas the food/consumption literatures highlight behavioral change, but insights also demonstrate the dynamic relationship between behavioral change and social norms. All clusters point to the possibility of improved public health as a result of demand-side solutions. The centrality of the policy cluster suggests that political actions are what bring the different specific approaches together. Fourth, by mapping the underlying epistemic communities we find that researchers are already highly interconnected, glued together by common interests in sustainability and energy demand. We conclude by outlining avenues for interdisciplinary ...
