Abstract This paper will describe the methodology for teaching legal English used at the Fordham University School of Law’s Legal English Institute (LEI), a one-semester program for law students and attorneys. Reasonable minds may disagree about the most effective methodology for teaching legal English, or for that matter any other form of academic English, but we have developed an approach that is informed by both theory and practice. At LEI, we use a “modified CLIL” format, with four substantive classes on topics in U.S. law that run in parallel with a core class on legal English. All four substantive classes use authentic reading materials that are similar to those used in an LL.M. program, and these materials are recycled in the legal English class and form the basis of discussions about language issues. Our use of content classes (as opposed to explicit language classes) to elicit language issues has proven to be effective and it also helps keep students motivated, as students tend to have more intrinsic interest in legal topics than in language study per se.

Modeling user’s fine-grained preferences and dynamic preference evolution from their chronological behaviors are challenging and crucial for sequential recommendation. In this paper, we develop a Hierarchical Self-Attention Incorporating Knowledge Graph for Sequential Recommendation (HSRec). HSRec models not only the user’s intrinsic preferences but also the user’s external potential interests to capture the user’s fine-grained preferences. Specifically, the intrinsic interest module and potential interest module are designed to capture these two preferences respectively. In the intrinsic interest module, user’s sequential patterns are characterized from their behaviors via the self-attention mechanism. As for the potential interest module, high-order paths can be generated with the help of the knowledge graph. Therefore, a hierarchical self-attention mechanism is designed to aggregate the semantic information of user interaction from these paths. Specifically, an entity-level self-attention mechanism is applied to capture the sequential patterns contained in the high-order paths while an interaction-level self-attention mechanism is designed to further capture the semantic information from user interactions. Moreover, according to the high-order semantic relevance, HSRec can explore the user’s dynamic preferences at each time, thus describing the user’s dynamic preference evolution. Finally, experiments conducted on three real world datasets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of the HSRec.

This chapter describes the author’s journey as a justice scholar, beginning with his first exposure to the area as an undergraduate working on an honors thesis. The author details how he engaged with the literature during graduate school and how his major contributions to the literature came about. Those contributions included a new measure of justice, the first metaanalysis of the literature, and integrations of justice with three other areas: teams, personality, and trust. He also describes an intrinsic motivation-based model that explains much of his influence and longevity as a justice scholar. Rooted in Spreitzer’s 1995 work on psychological empowerment, the model recommends that scholars: choose topics because of intrinsic interest rather than practicality or inertia; play to conceptual and methodological strengths when shaping projects; do research that improves the workplace while collaborating with PhD students whenever possible; and strive to do bigger projects that are relevant to the entire expanse of a literature.

This paper develops in certain directions the work of Meyer in [3], [4], [5] and [6] (see also Routley [10] and Asenjo [11]). In those works, Peano’s axioms for arithmetic were formulated with a logical base of the relevant logic R, and it was proved finitistically that the resulting arithmetic, called R♯, was absolutely consistent. It was pointed out that such a result escapes incau- tious formulations of Goedel’s second incompleteness theorem, and provides a basis for a revived Hilbert programme. The absolute consistency result used as a model arithmetic modulo two. Modulo arithmetics are not or- dinarily thought of as an extension of Peano arithmetic, since some of the propositions of the latter, such as that zero is the successor of no number, fail in the former. Consequently a logical base which, unlike classical logic, tolerates contradictory theories was used for the model. The logical base for the model was the three-valued logic RM3 (see e.g. [1] or [8]), which has the advantage that while it is an extension of R, it is finite valued and so easier to handle. The resulting model-theoretic structure (called in this paper RM32) is interesting in its own right in that the set of sentences true therein consti- tutes a negation inconsistent but absolutely consistent arithmetic which is an extension of R♯. In fact, in the light of the result of [6], it is an extension of Peano arithmetic with a base of a classical logic, P♯. A generalisation of the structure is to modulo arithmetics with the same logical base RM3, but with varying moduli (called RM3i here). We first study the properties of these arithmetics in this paper. The study is then generalised by vary- ing the logical base, to give the arithmetics RMni, of logical base RMn and modulus i. Not all of these exist, however, as arithmetical properties and logical properties interact, as we will show. The arithmetics RMni give rise, on intersection, to an inconsistent arithmetic RMω which is not of modulo i for any i. We also study its properties, and, among other results, we show by finitistic means that the more natural relevant arithmetics R♯ and R♯♯ are incomplete (whether or not consistent and recursively enumerable). In the rest of the paper we apply these techniques to several topics, particularly relevant quantum arithmetic in which we are able to show (unlike classical quantum arithmetic) that the law of distribution remains unprovable. Aside from its intrinsic interest, we regard the present exercise as a demonstration that inconsistent theories and models are of mathematical worth and interest.

ABSTRACT   Background : The professional nursing education is part of national education whose education pattern consist of 2 stages such as academic education and profession education. The professional nursing practice can be done by nurses which has taken a bachelor’s degree in nursing and profession along obtained STR. This is a challenge for collage student so the choice appears for continue to the profession or not. Consideration for continuing to the profession stage is one of which is influenced by the interest. Interest is a basic things for direct someone to something that they liked and done so that someone can be excited. Interest consist of 2 factors there are intrinsic interest factor and extrinsic interest factor. Intrinsic interest factor is a interest factor that arise in individuals while extrinsic interest factor is a interest factor that arise by influence from outside the individual. Objective : This research aims to know the description of interest nursing collage student for continue to stage Ners profession at STIKes Wira Medika Bali. This research uses a Total Sampling technique. Data collection using the likert scale questionnaire. Results : The research result showing most of the collage student have a high intrinsic interest factor and extrinsic interest factor. Intrinsic interest factor of 66,7% and extrinsic interest factor of 72%. Conclusion : Nursing collage student at STIKes Wira Medika Bali generation IX semester VIII most of the have hight interest for continue to stage Ners profession.

Philosophers have long theorized about which things make people’s lives go well, and why, and the extent to which morality and self-interest can be reconciled. By contrast, we have spent little time on meta-prudential questions, questions about prudential discourse (thought and talk about what is, e.g., good and bad for us, what contributes to well-being, and what we have prudential reason, or prudentially ought, to do). This situation is surprising. Prudential discourse is, prima facie, a normative form of discourse and cries out for further investigation of what it is like and whether it has problematic commitments. It also marks a stark contrast from moral discourse, about which there has been extensive theorizing in metaethics. This book has three broad aims. First, to explore the nature of prudential discourse. Second, to argue that prudential discourse is normative and authoritative, like moral discourse. Third, to show that prudential discourse is worthy of further, explicit, attention both due to its intrinsic interest but also for the light it can shed on the meta-normative more broadly.

Case studies can be viewed as either having intrinsic interest or as exploratory studies which can be used by subsequent researchers to inform theory. Case studies are not generalizable to populations, as surveys might be, but are generalizable to theory and may have an impact on the development of theory in areas of research. This particular case study relates to the role of the school librarian as Internet mediator and its findings highlight the value of WWW resources in curricular terms and emphasis the key role taken by the school librarian in identifying and exploiting such resources in co-operation with teachers.

PurposeGiven Wikipedia’s size and importance to the world’s information infrastructure, it can be forgotten that there exists under the same Wikimedia Foundation umbrella, a number of other volunteer wikis producing information on a variety of topics and subjects. Little research has been conducted on these offshoots. In this article I examine one of the earliest of these efforts, Wikivoyage, a free wiki-based travel guidebook.Design/methodology/approachI examine the content of Wikivoyage’s articles on the temples of Angkor, Siem Reap (the tourist gateway to the temples), the introductory page for the country of Cambodia as a whole and a sample of regional Cambodian entries. Textual and discourse analysis is the foundation of this work.FindingsThe findings suggest that although Wikivoyage is not currently an exemplar of alternative tourism discourses, it certainly has potential. But that potential can only be realized if those interested in contributing to the site alternative perspectives and discourses take up the task in a sensitive manner and in accordance with the developing editing culture.Originality/valueWhile conceding that Wikivoyage is currently unlikely to monopolize the guidebook market anytime soon, it is still important to study this social phenomenon both for its own intrinsic interest and to assess its potential for a more enlightened and transformative tourism.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-03-2020-0104

This article concentrates on various operator semigroups arising in the study of viscous and incompressible flows. Of particular concern are the classical Stokes semigroup, the hydrostatic Stokes semigroup, the Oldroyd as well as the Ericksen–Leslie semigroup. Besides their intrinsic interest, the properties of these semigroups play an important role in the investigation of the associated nonlinear equations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Semigroup applications everywhere’.

Purpose This study aims to analyze individuals’ entrepreneurial intentions from the perspective of motivational theory and examines the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on entrepreneurial intentions of male and female individuals. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from students graduating from Pakistan’s largest university. A structural equation modeling technique was used for model testing. Findings Intrinsic factors such as intrinsic interest and community feeling aspiration and extrinsic factors such as perceived relative income and occupational prestige positively affect attitudes and, in turn, stimulate entrepreneurial intentions. Further, as intrinsic interest and perceived relative income scored higher among men, gender moderates those effects. Conversely, the entrepreneurial attitudes of women were primarily driven by community feeling aspiration. Notably, the positive effect of occupational prestige did not vary among men and women. Originality/value This paper explores the roles of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the entrepreneurial intentions of men and women. The integration of motivational theory with gender provides insights into the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions in South Asia.
