Definition Of

Plato's Sophist begins with an attempt to arrive by division at a definition of a Sophist. In the course of the attempt six different descriptions are discussed and the results summarized at 231 c-e. A seventh and final account may be said to occupy the whole of the rest of the dialogue, including the long digression on negative statements. The first five divisions characterize with a considerable amount of satire different types of sophist, or more probably different aspects of the sophistic art. The sixth division (226 a–231 b) is very different. To quote Cornford's words, ‘satire is dropped. The tone is serious and sympathetic, towards the close it becomes eloquent’.

Years Of Schooling

Eighty percent of students entering school feel good about themselves and who they are. By the fifth grade only 20 percent have high self-esteem. By the time students become seniors in high school, the percentage who have managed to keep a positive level of self-esteem has dropped to 5 percent. Students encounter the equivalent of 60 days each year reprimanding, nagging and punishment. During 12 years of schooling a student is subject to 15,000 negative statements. That's three times the amount of positive statements received.

Christ Followers

This chapter examines Paul's praise of the Law, its mandates, and its privilege, and how he urges its standards of behavior not only toward both God but also toward fellow Christ-followers on his gentile communities. It first considers how the gospel's mission to Israel in the diaspora had absorbed sympathetic pagans without demanding that they receive circumcision. It then discusses the inconsistencies of the Law's rhetorical valence in Paul's epistles, along with the identification of “Christianity” with “Law-freeness” and what Paul has to say anything about Jews circumcising their own sons. It also analyzes Paul's negative statements about the Law to his communities mid-century, suggesting that they were intended to dissuade Christ-following pagans from Judaizing in any way other than in Paul's way.

The study investigated the effects of anonymity on online peer assessment and compared three different conditions. Fifty-eight preservice teachers at a mid-size US university engaged in a series of online peer assessments during fall 2017. Peer assessment was embedded in a blended course as a required asynchronous activity using the Canvas learning management system. Students were randomly assigned to three different peer assessment conditions: anonymous, partially anonymous, and identifiable. They were asked to provide feedback comments and rate the quality of peers’ work. The researcher examined to what extent three different conditions had influenced the quality of feedback comments, measured quantitatively through the number of words and negative statements. At the end of the semester, a survey that included a 5-point Likert scale and several open-ended questions was also distributed to analyse students’ perceptions about peer assessment and anonymity. The results indicate that although students prefer anonymity, it may not be a necessary condition for increasing student engagement.

Die vorliegende Studie stellt die erste umfassende und systematische Analyse der Medienberichterstattung zum deutschen Föderalismus dar. Ausgewertet wurden Positionen, Konnotationen und Bewertungen in 449 Statements aus 14 Tageszeitungen im Zusammenhang mit der Corona-Pandemie für den Zeitraum März bis September 2020. Methodisch werden quantitative und qualitative Ansätze kombiniert, um sowohl Verteilungsmuster als auch Themen und Motive zu erfassen. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen für die Krise, was die Literatur für ‚normale Zeiten‘ annimmt: Eine deutliche Mehrheit aller veröffentlichten Statements zum Föderalismus fällt negativ aus. Dies änderte auch die Phase der Einheitlichkeit der Landesregelungen infolge der Einigung auf einen umfassenden bundesweiten Lockdown nicht. Die erfolgreiche Stabilisierung des Infektionsgeschehens ‚trotz‘ unterschiedlicher Lockerungen in den Ländern führte (absolut) zu weniger negativen Statements, aber nicht zu substantiell positiven. Mehrheitlich negative Statements finden sich in der Gruppe der Bevölkerung, der JournalistInnen und auch der PolitikerInnen insgesamt; mehrheitlich positive Statements finden sich lediglich bei LandespolitikerInnen der CDU/CSU.

Structural Positions

This chapter focuses on the semantic and pragmatic effects associated with the various positions of negation. Particularly, presuppositional readings for negative statements follow from different structural positions of negation (higher in the TP) as opposed to the non-presuppositional interpretations associated with the lower NegP below TP. This chapter also analyses contrasts between SA maa on the one hand and laa and its variants on the other hand. These contrasts are related to scope readings, presupposition, mood and speech acts (commissive, directive, volitive, and (ir)realis). I argue that presuppositional negation is a product of the interplay between syntax and pragmatics. Specifically, I propose that presuppositional negative markers are higher in the syntactic structure. They occupy a position above the tense phrase in the clausal structure, namely NegP above TP (cf. Zanuttini 1997 for similar effects in various Romance). Pragmatically marked negation includes presuppositional negation, categorical negation and cleft-negation. The former two are in a NegP above TP, while the latter is in CP.

The purpose of this study was to compare the interactions of learning disabled (LD), behavior-disordered (BD), and nonhandicapped students. The interaction of 15 pupils from each diagnostic group and their peers, teachers, and classroom aides were observed by means of a behavior observation instrument. The observation system was designed to monitor (a) frequency of 14 target behaviors, (b) direction of the interaction (i.e., given to or received from), and (c) status of the party involved in the interaction (i.e., peer, teacher, aide). The results indicated that BD and LD students emitted significantly more negative statements to teachers than did regular education students. The teachers of the three groups of students did not differ in positive and negative statements directed to students; however, BD teachers emitted significantly more neutral statements to their students than did LD and regular teachers. Finally, the three groups did not differ in types of statements emitted. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for current educational practice.

6558 Background: Minority populations are underrepresented in biospecimen banks created for cancer research, which has implications for future therapeutic approaches. Patients’ reluctance to donate biospecimens is perceived to be a potential barrier but is poorly studied. We present interim analyses of a survey to assess attitudes in a patient cohort comprised of racial/ethnic minorities. Methods: Patients filled out a validated 23-item survey [ J Cancer Educ, 2014. 29: p. 580-7] for this prospective cohort study approved by the Cleveland Clinic IRB. Surveys were provided in the outpatient oncology clinic of a Cleveland Clinic community hospital. Eligibility requirements included tissue diagnosis of any solid tumor malignancy in non-curative setting; age ≥ 18 years, ECOG PS 0-2, self-reported race/ethnicity as any other than non-Hispanic White, undergoing cancer therapy in the next 30 days. Data are presented for the first 90 patients surveyed in 2015-2016. Results: Median age was 69 years (range, 35-92). Only 24 (27%, 1 missing) had been asked to donate samples in the past; of those, 20 (83%) had donated. The majority (n = 60, 67%) were willing to donate samples. A higher proportion (75%) responded as being likely to donate samples if they learned more about the research and reasons for sample donation. A smaller proportion was likely to donate samples if they received money (30%) or health services (40%) in return. Many (55-73%) disagreed with negative statements such as, “I will be treated as a guinea pig,” and only (3-4%) disagreed with trust statements such as, “I trust sample banks/medical researchers/procedures.” However, 42% endorsed being “concerned that something like the Tuskegee study could happen again.” Conclusions: The majority of racial and ethnic minority patients in this study were willing to donate biospecimens for research, with an even greater likelihood of participation if appropriate rationales were provided. While systemic mistrust persists, the vast majority trusted medical researchers and procedures. Our findings suggest that underrepresentation of minorities in cancer biospecimen repositories, not likely attributable to patient reluctance, must be addressed to achieve health equity.
