Social events are rich in information, yet research into how people remember such events has typically been limited to considering one aspect (e.g., faces, behaviors) at a time. Based on an internal meta-analysis of a program work encompassing 15 laboratory, field, and on-line experiments involving 1,230 participants, we found that construal level influences both the ability to recognize people involved in the event ( d = 0.30) and the way the social aspects of the event are described (average d = 0.48). In contrast, memory for background objects/scenes that were present during the event was unaffected by construal level. We discuss these findings in terms of their implications for both event memory (and situations where different aspects of the same event are remembered) and for construal level (and the question of how and when construal is likely to affect memory).

91 Notre Dame Law Review 363 (2015)Today, prominent academics are questioning the very possibility of a theory of free exercise or non-establishment. They argue that judgments in the area can only be conclusory or irrational. In contrast to such skeptics, this Essay argues that decisionmaking on questions of religious freedom can be morally justified. Two arguments constitute the Essay. Part I begins by acknowledging that skepticism has power. The skeptics rightly identify some inevitable indeterminacy, but they mistakenly argue that it necessarily signals decisionmaking that is irrational or unjustified. Their critique is especially striking because the skeptics’ prudential way of working on concrete problems actually shares much with the methods of others. Part II then argues that the best defense of religious freedom jurisprudence begins with an approach known as coherentism. In political philosophy, coherentism refers to the way legal actors compare new problems to existing principles and paradigms in order to identify solutions that are justified. The Essay then extracts and emphasizes the social aspects of this basic account. It contends that arguments about the meaning of the Constitution appropriately reflect social and political dynamics. The resulting approach, social coherentism, describes a powerful method for generating interpretations of the First Amendment that are justified, not conclusory. This matters at a moment when some defenders of religious traditionalism are suggesting that principled decisionmaking on questions of religious freedom is impossible, and therefore that such issues should be largely surrendered to political processes.

What Is Rhetoric? offers a new synthesis of the principles and functioning of rhetoric. In everyday life, questions are often debated or simply discussed. Rhetoric is the way we answer questions in an interpersonal context, in which we want to have an effect on our interlocutors. These interlocutors can be convinced or charmed, persuaded or influenced, and the language used can range from reasoning to the use of narratives, whether literary or not. This book purports to be a breakthrough in the field by offering a systematic and unified view of rhetoric. It combines the social aspects of negotiation and interpersonal distance with the theory of emotions. All principal authors from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary theorists are integrated in what is here called the “problematological” conception of rhetoric, based on the primacy of questioning and answering in language and thought.

This chapter considers the social implications of managing project stakeholders with a special account of e-project management (e-PM), architecture and the importance of project management (PM) portals, and the way they are related to e-projects. The authors argue that PM portals are indispensable in project collaboration and coordination and are closely related to e-projects, since theirs is a key role in both the PM implementation and an adequate incorporation and discussion of all project stakeholders, particularly virtual teams. The authors believe that a detailed analysis of project stakeholders and PM portals presented in this chapter allows for a thorough review of the strengths as well as weaknesses of the e-project approach and is a basis for understanding of social aspects and challenges of modern ICT solutions in e-PM.

AbstractAt the end of the first century CE, we see a broad reception of Catullus, both members of the nobility and professional writers such as Pliny the Younger, Martial and Statius. Three significant aspects are to be considered: By reading and adapting Catullus, they can establish a connection with the great writers of the past. Given the rise of Latin literary canons in the first century, Catullus is a particularly suitable model to be imitated, and maybe even to surpass. The most important aspect, for amateurs and professionals alike, is the social representation inherent in the act of reception. The Catullan oeuvre mainly appeals to writers because parts of its poetic programme can also be found in the set of rules the nobility abides by and in their sociable institutions. The way Catullus celebrates amicitia in his poems becomes a model of self-representation for an elite which seeks to impress with cultural savoir-faire; likewise, it serves to create consensus and self-assurance. Finally professional writers read and appropriate Catullus in like manner, with regard to social aspects. Catullan poetry serves as a way of displaying friendship, especially when looking at the interchange between poeta and patronus; this is quite similar to amateur poetry in the style of Pliny. It is a means of establishing proximity, familiarity and community between socially unequal parties.

<p>Abstrak: Artikel ini mencoba mengkaji metode penafsiran al-Qur’an yang digunakan oleh Wahbah al-Zuhaylî, seorang pakar hukum Islam, namun ia juga telah menghasilkan sebuah karya monumental dalam bidang tafsir yang berjudul al-Tafsîr al-Munîr fî al-‘Aqîdah wa al-Syarî‘ah wa al-Manhaj. Dalam penyusunan karya ini, al-Zuhaylî mengkolaborasi beberapa metode. Dilihat dari sumber penafsiran, ia menggabungkan metode Klasik, yaitu tafsîr bi al-ma’tsûr (riwayat) dan bi al-ra’y (ijtihad). Jika ditinjau dari cara penyajian tafsir, ia menggabungkan metode modern, yang merupakan perpaduan antara tahlîlî (analitik), dalam menguraikan aspek bahasa dan sastra, dan metode maudhû’i (tematik), dalam menjelaskan tema-tema tertentu. Corak yang ditawarkan dalam tafsir ini bernuansa fikih, sebagai bias dari latar belakang keilmuan mufasirnya. Namun di sisi lain, nuansa al-âdab al-ijtimâ‘i juga tampak begitu kental sebagai upaya untuk menjawab persoalan umat.</p><p><br />Abstract: The Method of Wahbah al-Zuhaylî’s Qur’anic Commentary: A Study of al-Tafsîr al-Munîr.

To prevent the spread of Covid-19, various universities and schools began to implement e-learning. This is the application of application-based learning. There are many universities that have organized this learning model program and have passed their students' thesis and dissertation examinations by utilizing this technological sophistication. This paper explains the nature of e-learning model, both its characteristics, strengths, weaknesses and its benefits in preventing the spread of Covid-19. Basically, e-learning has two types, namely synchronous and asynchronous. The Synchronous is learning process all at once between lecturers and students (on line at the same time). Whereas the asynchronous is not at the same time. Students can take different time from lecturers. It can be concluded that e-learning can be used to prevent the spread of covid-19, because there is no face-to-face learning when giving material. E-learning also has several advantages over conventional learning systems. However, e-learning also has shortcomings, such as the lack of interaction between students and teachers even between other students, tend to ignore the social aspects and foster individual aspects, the teaching and learning process tends towards training rather than education, and several other shortcomings. Guna mencegah penyebaran Covid-19 ini, berbagai Perguruan Tinggi hingga sekolah mulai menerapkan e-learning. Upaya ini adalah penerapan pembelajaran berbasis aplikasi. Ada banyak kampus yang sudah menyelenggarakan program pembelajaran model ini dan sudah meluluskan ujian skripsi, tesis dan disertasi mahasiswanya dengan memanfaatkan kecanggihan teknologi ini. Tulisan ini berupaya untuk menjelaskan hakikat pembelajaran e-learning ini, karakteristik, kelebihan dan kekurangannya serta manfaatnya dalam mencegah penyebaran Covid-19. Pada dasarnya, e-learning memiliki dua tipe, yaitu synchronous dan asynchronous. Synchronous artinya proses pembelajaran terjadi pada saat yang sama antara dosen dan mahasiswa (on line di waktu bersamaan). Sedangkan asynchronous tidak pada waktu bersamaan. Mahasiswa dapat mengambil waktu pembelajaran berbeda dengan dosen yang memberikan materi. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis e-learning dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media untuk mencegah penyebaran covid-19, sebab tidak dibutuhkan adanya tatap muka dalam pemberian materi pelajaran. E-learning juga memiliki beberapa kelebihan dibandingkan dengan sistem pembelajaran konvensional. Namun demikian, e-learning juga memiliki kekurangan, seperti minimnya interaksi antara pelajar dengan pengajar bahkan antara pelajar yang lain, kecenderungan mengabaikan aspek sosial dan membuat tumbuhnya aspek individual, proses belajar mengajar cenderung ke arah pelatihan dari pada pendidikan, dan beberapa kekurangan lainnya.
