The Judgment of Culture : Cultural Assumptions in American Law
Legal systems do not operate in isolation but in complex cultural contexts. This original and thought-provoking volume considers how cultural assumptions are built into American legal decision-making, drawing on a series of case studies to demonstrate the range of ways courts express their understanding of human nature, social relationships, and the sense of orderliness that cultural schemes purport to offer.Unpacking issues such as native heritage, male circumcision, and natural law, Rosen provides fresh insight into socio-legal studies, drawing on his extensive experience as both an anthropologist and a law professional to provide a unique perspective on the important issue of law and cultural practice. The Judgement of Culture will make informative reading for students and scholars of anthropology, law, and related subjects across the social sciences.

Analytic Listening in Clinical Dialogue : Basic Assumptions
Analytic Listening in Clinical Dialogue focuses on the work of four leading clinicians as they assess how their unconscious basic assumptions impact their clinical work. Using the case study of a seven-year-old boy, the authors evaluate a videotaped psychoanalytic first interview and exchange their mutual clinical approaches.Their discussions uncover the way that unconscious basic assumptions arise from the core of one’s personality and act as the pillars that support primary- and secondary-process thinking.These fundamental models of thought and emotion result in convictions which play a key role in the processes of understanding, evaluating, classifying, anticipating and regulating.The authors show how an ‘analytic listening’ approach can also be used to good effect in supervisions and intervisions, as it provides a path out of the domain of ‘being right’ into a space of what is shared as well as what is different.They argue that this method allows an analyst’s own blind spots to be reduced. Translated from the original German, Analytic Listening in Clinical Dialogue will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychologists.

How can one make assumptions or hypotheses?
One can make assumptions or hypotheses by observing patterns or trends in data, conducting research, and drawing logical conclusions based on available evidence. It is important to consider all relevant information and to be open to revising assumptions or hypotheses as new evidence becomes available. Additionally, consulting with experts in the field and considering alternative explanations can help in forming well-informed assumptions or hypotheses.
-
Can our fundamental physical assumptions be wrong?
Yes, our fundamental physical assumptions can be wrong. Throughout history, scientific theories and assumptions have been revised and updated as new evidence is discovered. For example, the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the solar system or the development of quantum mechanics challenged previous assumptions about the nature of reality. It is important for scientists to remain open to new ideas and evidence that may challenge our current understanding of the physical world.

What are assumptions regarding partial write-downs?
Assumptions regarding partial write-downs include the expectation that the value of the asset has decreased, but not to the extent that a full write-down is necessary. It is also assumed that the decrease in value is not temporary and is likely to be permanent. Additionally, there is an assumption that the partial write-down accurately reflects the current fair value of the asset. Finally, it is assumed that the partial write-down will have a material impact on the financial statements and should be disclosed to stakeholders.
-
Should I make assumptions in the characterization itself?
It is generally not advisable to make assumptions in the characterization itself. Characterization should be based on observable traits, actions, and dialogue rather than assumptions. Making assumptions can lead to biased or inaccurate portrayals of characters, and it is important to allow the reader to form their own opinions based on the evidence presented in the story. It is better to let the characters' words and actions speak for themselves rather than making assumptions about their motivations or intentions.

Researching Early Childhood Education for Sustainability : Challenging Assumptions and Orthodoxies
This book captures the now burgeoning research field of early childhood education for sustainability (ECEfS) and comprises insights from an ever-widening and diverse pool of researchers, who are promoting, engaging, and explaining the latest ECEfS research in the light of local, national, and United Nations global policy directives.With the increasing urgency of global climate disruptions, resource depletions, and biodiversity losses alongside greater human dislocation, the international scope of research and theory in this book provides a comprehensive guide to the role of sustainability in early childhood education, at a time when it is needed more than ever. Elliott, Ärlemalm-Hagsér, and Davis have brought together a collection of studies that offer new insights and approaches to ECEfS which challenge dominant narratives surrounding early childhood education and sustainability, including topics such as: how diverse worldviews and cultures challenge perceptions of sustainability; how bold national early education policies and urgent shifts in teacher education are imperative for driving transformative practices; and, how ECEfS curriculum and pedagogy can be incorporated successfully into early years settings. This book will both inspire researchers and more deeply enable early years’ educators to practise sustainability with children, and so will be of great interest to scholars, lecturers, and researchers, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, across the increasingly intersecting fields of sustainability and early childhood education.

The Contact Paradox : Challenging our Assumptions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
What will happen if (perhaps when) humanity makes contact with another civilisation on a different planet?In 1974 a message was beamed towards the stars by the giant Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico, a brief blast of radio waves designed to alert extraterrestrial civilisations to our existence.Of course, we don’t know if such civilisations really exist.For the past six decades a small cadre of researchers have been on a quest to find out, as part of SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.So far, SETI has found no evidence of extraterrestrial life, but with more than a hundred billion stars in our Galaxy alone to search, the odds of quick success are stacked against us.The silence from the stars is prompting some researchers to transmit more messages into space, in an effort to provoke a response from any civilisations out there that might otherwise be staying quiet.However, the act of transmitting raises troubling questions about the process of contact. In The Contact Paradox, author Keith Cooper looks at how far SETI has come since its modest beginnings, and where it is going, by speaking to the leading names in the field and beyond.SETI forces us to confront our nature in a way that we seldom have before – where did we come from, where are we going, and who are we in the cosmic context of things?This book considers the assumptions that we make in our search for extraterrestrial life, and explores how those assumptions can teach us about ourselves.

How can one derive the area from certain assumptions?
One can derive the area of a shape by making certain assumptions about its properties and using mathematical principles to calculate the area. For example, for a rectangle, one can assume that the opposite sides are equal in length and the angles are right angles. From these assumptions, one can use the formula for the area of a rectangle (length x width) to derive the area. Similarly, for a circle, one can assume that the radius is constant and use the formula for the area of a circle (πr^2) to derive the area. By making these assumptions and applying the relevant formulas, one can calculate the area of various shapes.

How can technical drawings represent accurate views and assumptions?
Technical drawings can represent accurate views by using standardized symbols and conventions to clearly communicate the dimensions, shapes, and features of an object. By following specific guidelines such as orthographic projection, scale, and dimensioning, technical drawings can provide precise and detailed representations of an object. Additionally, technical drawings can also include assumptions based on engineering principles and material properties to ensure that the design is feasible and functional. By incorporating these elements, technical drawings can accurately convey the necessary information for manufacturing, construction, or maintenance purposes.
-
How can technical drawings represent correct views and assumptions?
Technical drawings can represent correct views and assumptions by following established standards such as orthographic projection and dimensioning. By using these standards, technical drawings can accurately depict the shape, size, and features of an object from multiple perspectives. Additionally, clear labeling and annotations help to convey important information and assumptions about the design. Consistency in scale, proportion, and alignment also ensures that the views presented in the drawing are accurate and reliable.

What are the assumptions of the Spearman rank correlation test?
The Spearman rank correlation test assumes that the variables being studied are measured on at least an ordinal scale, meaning that the data can be ranked. It also assumes that the relationship between the variables is monotonic, meaning that as one variable increases, the other variable either consistently increases or decreases. Additionally, the test assumes that there are no outliers in the data that could significantly affect the correlation coefficient.
