Multilingual Ability Among Deaf Students in Multicultural Education Contexts

The chapter intends to provide a conceptual basis for bilingual educators who filter their understanding of deafness through the socio-cultural lens of deafness. To do this, various types of simultaneous and sequential bilingualism en route to bilingual education for young deaf children are explored in relation to the language choices of their parents and educators. In light of these varied routes, the chapter discusses a typology of bilingual education ranging from weak forms aimed at assimilating signing deaf children into majority language and culture to strong forms focussing on development and maintenance of sign language and cultural pluralism.

NEUROHÁBITAT DEL DISEÑO A LA SINAPSIS

¿Puede el diseño condicionar nuestra conducta? ¿Puede condicionar cómo nos sentimos? ¿Puede modificar nuestra mente? Al paso del tiempo la práctica del diseño ha sido sinónimo de estética, modernidad y estatus, ha sido modificada por los medios y las herramientas tecnológicas, lo cual ha llegado a permitir la creación de un hábitat construido fusionado entre la información digital y el mundo real que habitamos utilizando técnicas novedosas con las cuales interactuamos hoy. Este artículo describe un acercamiento a la base conceptual de un nuevo paradigma dentro del diseño en general llamado Neurohábitat un paradigma repleto de oportunidades para la investigación, que parte del hecho de que el objeto final de este hábitat diseñado y construido son los sujetos que lo habitan y experimentan. Esto simboliza una práctica transhumanista que antepone el desarrollo de la experiencia y vida humana, al beneficio económico, político o de otra naturaleza de los sujetos. La incorporación de la ciencia al diseño podría representar el surgimiento de un nuevo avance para los planteamientos metodológicos y teóricos de la disciplina dentro de un mundo cada vez más cambiante y digitalizado. Palabras clave: Diseño, neurociencias, cognición, hábitat. AbstractCan design condition our behavior? Can it condition the way we feel? Can it modify our mindset? Over time, the practice of design has been synonymous with aesthetics, modernity and status, it has been modified by the media and technological tools, which has come to allow the creation of a built habitat fused between digital information and the real world we inhabit using novel techniques with which we interact today. This article describes an approach to the conceptual basis of a new paradigm within design in general called Neurohabitat, a paradigm full of opportunities for research, which starts from the fact that the final object of this designed and built habitat is the subjects that inhabit it. and they experiment. This symbolizes a transhumanist practice that puts the development of human experience and life before the economic, political or other benefits of the subjects. The incorporation of science into design could represent the emergence of a new advance for the methodological and theoretical approaches of the discipline within an increasingly changing and digitized world. Keywords Design: neurosciences, cognition, habitat.

Review of A Short Course in Computational Geometry and Topology by Herbert Edelsbrunner

Computational geometry and topology are huge branches of mathematics. Focussing on concepts that lead to computation is one strategy to provide a concrete conceptual basis for ideas that hold in a more general context. Indeed, this short book gives an introduction to a surprisingly broad range of ideas that can serve as a good introduction to geometry and topology (even broadly conceived) for undergraduates.

The concept of environmental capital in business accounting and integrated reporting

Subject. This article considers the conceptual basis of environmental capital accounting as one of the elements of assessing the value of business in conjunction with the concept of sustainable development of the organization. Objectives. The article aims to argue for a need for methodological and methodical information support in the system of business accounting for environmental safety of domestic business and identify the objects of the green economy and monetarization in the business accounting of the benefits and costs of creating and maintaining the organization’s ecosystem. Results. The article explains the need for the formation of various business accounting models in the system of the organization’s business model. Conclusions. Based on the study, the article concludes that it is necessary to reform the current system of accounting for environmental safety costs transforming it into business accounting of environmental capital.

THE RELIGION OF NO RELIGION: JUNG’S PSYCHOLOGY IN THE HISTORY OF ZEN BUDDHISM IN THE 20TH CENTURY

In the 1930s, Zen Buddhism was hardly known outside Japan. By the 1960s, it had become by far the most popular form of Buddhism in Europe and the United States. Its popularity was born from the general belief that Zen responded to the psychological and religious needs of the individual without incurring the criticisms customarily levelled against religion. Zen was imagined as a practical spirituality that accepted all religions and religious symbols as expressions of a universal psychological truth. Zen was not itself a religion, but a ‘super-religion’ that had understood the inner mechanics of the psyche’s natural religion-making function. Three authors in particular, namely D. T. Suzuki, Friedrich Spiegelberg and Alan Watts, were pivotal in the formation of this narrative. Using Jung’s psychological model as their conceptual basis, they promoted a vision of Zen Buddhism that laid the foundations for the ‘Zen Boom’ of the 1950s and 60s. This article will examine the pivotal role played by Jung’s psychology in the formation of this narrative. KEYWORDS Zen Buddhism, D. T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, Friedrich Spiegelberg, The Religion of no Religion.

Why most psychological research findings are not even wrong

Psychology’s replication crisis is typically conceptualised as the insight that the published literature contains a worrying amount of unreplicable, false-positive findings. At the same time, meta-scientific attempts to assess the crisis in more detail have reported substantial difficulties to identify unambiguous definitions of the scientific claims in published articles and to determine how they are connected to the presented evidence. I argue that most claims in the literature are so critically underspecified that attempts to empirically evaluate them are doomed to failure — they are not even wrong. Meta-scientists should beware of the flawed assumption that the psychological literature is a collection of well-defined claims. To move beyond the crisis, psychologists must reconsider and rebuild the conceptual basis of their hypotheses before trying to test them.
