Existential Crisis

ABSTRACTJacques Laforest provides an introduction to gerontology viewed as an interdisciplinary field of study and reflection on old age. Old age is defined from a developmental perspective as two opposite yet complementary processes: those of decline and growth. The final stage of life is marked by an existential crisis of one's identity, autonomy and belonging. Researchers and specialists from all disciplines are invited to contribute towards an understanding and a resolution of this crisis. The purpose of this publication is to initiate the process of integrating knowledge and reflections on gerontology. This goal is achieved.

New Perspective

Until the 1980s, the study of the history of cartography was defined by two idealizations: (1) that maps are strictly factual statements and (2) that cartography is an innately progressive science that serves as a surrogate for Western civilization as a whole. Then, the recognition that maps are actually cultural texts made for specific functions transformed map history into an exciting, interdisciplinary field of study. Scholars across the humanities and social sciences now seek to understand how past peoples thought about and acted in their particular worlds. The result is a substantial literature, which in many respects resembles a multifaceted iceberg: each disciplinary perspective reveals only the tip. In taking a series of selective and topical cuts through the recent literature, this bibliography cannot take every new perspective into account. Necessarily excluded are the older literature, which despite its conceptual flaws, contains a wealth of important information; narratives of the development of maps of specific regions (“The Mapping of X”); and cartobibliographies (mostly regional in scope).

The Future

Abstract The author appreciates Davidsen’s concern with the future of Religious Studies, but thinks that its strength lies in being an interdisciplinary field of study. The field has the potential to bring together scholars involved in the study of religion and demonstrate its relevance by generating insights into complex, relevant and pressing problems.

Different Levels

Informatics is one of the important branches of Applied Sciences. It is a practicing area and also a field of study.  The applications of Informatics in different areas and knowledge field has created various subjects and among these, one of important and emerging is Agricultural Informatics; which is the Information Science and Technology applications in the agriculture as well allied areas. In other words, techniques and technologies of both the fields i.e. Informatics and Agriculture lead the birth of Agro Informatics. The management and analysis of agricultural data with the help of Computing and IT may also be called as Agricultural Informatics. There are many allied nomenclatures of the field, but all are related and closely connected. In short, it is also called as Agro Informatics. Initially, it was treated only as a practicing area in the agriculture, horticulture, and veterinary sciences; but gradually it is a study area with different levels of programs at various universities and institutions, internationally. However, in the developed nation it is more common and widely available. Agro Informatics is an interdisciplinary field and very diverse. There are many features and functions, roles due to its timely need. This is a conceptual and policy-based research hence various aspects of Agro Informatics including its feature, functions, stakeholders, technologies including allied branches are mentioned. The paper also highlighted the proposed and possible programs of this field in academics in the field of Agricultural Sciences, as an empirical and policy research.

This essay seeks to critically conceptualize the term geocultural space and the emerging field of study with which it is associated by exploring the various ways in which such space is currently being mapped by researchers using digital humanities tools and methods. In drawing together intersecting interests in Geographic Information Systems and spatio-cultural narratives and experiences, this work defines an interdisciplinary field of research that is gathering momentum as geolocative technologies that shape and reshape the ways in which we perceive and experience the world become increasingly prevalent in academic life and in the cultural mainstream.

The Mind

The study of New Religious Movements (NRMs) has evolved over the last thirty to forty years by both design and chance. Beginning in the 1970s, scholars interested in NRMs studied specific groups, read one another's work, and ultimately met one another to fashion a "coalition of the mind," or scholarly yet interdisciplinary field of study, focused upon NRMs. The story of this development largely depends on the accounts provided by NRM scholars in interviews conducted by the author.

The Brain

Neuroethics is an interdisciplinary field of study that considers ethical issues raised by increased understanding of how the brain works and development of technologies of research and influence the brain function. In addition, neuroethics is understood as the study of neural processes of moral decision-making. Originally, the problems of neuroethics have developed in bioethical context. With the expansion of the set of questions and the emergence of a separate discussion of the ethics of neuroscience, as well as the development of research on classical issues of ethics using neuroimaging technologies, neuroethics is becoming a separate field of study. In the article, the authors consider two approaches to the relationship between neuroethics and bioethics: (1) neuroethics as a special area of ​​bioethics and (2) neuroethics as an independent discipline that has its specific features. Understanding neuroethics as a part of bioethics predetermines the consideration of its problems as a study of the social consequences of the achievements of neurosciences and the normative regulation of medical and research practice. The approaches that define neuroethics as an independent field emphasize the combination of multidirectional study (ethics of neuroscience and neuroscience of ethics) as a specific feature of the discipline. These studies are related by their common object of research – the brain. The approach of reductionism underlying the dominant research in neuroethics is noted in the article as a factor of a shift of neuroethics from the humanitarian context of bioethics towards neuroscience.
