Theorizing Chemical Rhetoric: Toward an Articulation of Chemistry as a Public Vocabulary

Chemistry has been a pivotal part of scientific discovery and human life for centuries. This essay argues that chemical terms, tropes, figures, appeals, and narratives serve as powerful rhetorical features of public discourse. From affinities and atoms to dark matter and radioactivity, chemical rhetoric fulfills a central organizing function in contemporary society and shapes how people deliberate and delineate their identities, relationships, and communities. The present research demarcates chemical rhetoric as a form of nonexpert communication, and explicates its association with chemistry’s disciplinary history, as well as with technical chemical language’s grounding in key focal concepts. More specifically, it maps out a framework for defining and theorizing chemical rhetoric through three, interconnected lenses: historical–ecological, conceptual articulation, and vernacular. The overarching goal in this essay is to create an infrastructure for investigating chemistry’s longitudinal circulation and emergence as a shared public vocabulary.

A CONCEPTUAL ARTICULATION OF TEAM TRUST ON TEAM PERFORMANCE IN UNIVERSITY SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TEAMS IN JIANGSU PROVINCE, CHINA

The aim of this paper is to establish a conceptual articulation of team confidence in team success in scientific research teams at universities in the province of Jiangsu, China. Many universities have set up scientific research teams in order to produce further scientific research achievements and to promote progress. The study goals of this research are knowledge-based university science research teams. Fundamentally, the main objective of the analysis is to examine the effect of team confidence on team success in scientific research teams at universities in the province of Jiangsu, China. As this is a philosophical paper, to explain the conclusions, this analysis focuses on the empirical and theoretical articulations. Therefore, to achieve the research purpose, current research uses descriptive design as the most suitable study design. The findings indicate that the process variables have continuously attracted the attention of researchers to influence team performance; the relationship between team confidence and team performance has only begun to be explored. Team trust helps team members master team activities, minimise errors and delays, and enhance strategies to accomplish team goals, and develop creative problem-solving skills to better understand key task domains. Even, as successes in scientific research are placed into practical development. It hopes to bring tremendous economic benefits to businesses and the country.

Espaço, Localização e Lugar na teoria de Milton Santos

This essay focuses on the study of the conceptual articulation between space, location, and place, based on the space theory of the renowned Brazilian geographer Milton Santos, and highlights the role attributed to Geography in its disciplinary condition of human science and practical action in contributing to planning. This role is exercised through the construction of a comprehensive view of the present, of the states of social crisis, and delineations of political action and future projects. The prevalence of social interest would be due to epistemological disalienation, state change, and the emerging strength of citizens, contributing to the proposition of a more equitable spatial redistribution of social resources.

THEORETICAL APPROACH TO THE INTEGRATION OF IMMIGRANTS AT THREE LEVELS: UNDERSTANDING, ADAPTATION AND INCLUSION

This article, as an essay, aims to develop a proposal for understanding the integration of immigrants at three levels: through the emergence of a complex comprehensive scheme of individuals; adaptation to artifacts and processes; and inclusion in the basic functional systems of society. The essay seeks to propose a new thesis on integration, from a sociological perspective, through analysis and conceptual articulation from various authors (P. Bourdieu, A. Giddens, A. Schütz, M. Walzer, Ch. Taylor, among others). The conclusions respond to the need for mutual understanding in the processes of understanding, generating citizen scenarios that favor this process, recognizing the contribution of the migratory phenomenon, in terms of intercultural integration, tolerance and recognition of culture in egalitarian and fair actions. Integration implies a teaching and learning process about situations that occur in a pragmatic way in everyday life, where experts have a fundamental role. The inclusion of immigrants in society will facilitate their integration, which will depend both on the functioning of the systems, as well as on the demands of the immigrants themselves.

The Need to Become Fashionable

This chapter evaluates the capability approach both in its ability to justify the traditional account of labour law and in its usefulness in furthering a newer conceptual articulation of regulation of work (labour law). The chapter undertakes this evaluation through an exploration of labour law scholars’ engagement with the capability approach. While labour law scholars’ engagement with the capability approach is varied, several of them offer a narrow interpretation of the approach. That interpersonal variations mandate different levels of resources and circumstances for individuals to attain similar functioning ability is one of the fundamental insights of the capability approach. Seen in the context of legal entitlements of heterogeneous workers—from Uber drivers to domestic workers—this insight signifies that substantive entitlements of workers need to be context-specific and diverse so that each different category of workers could expand their overall capability to a roughly equal level. It is the capability approach that is able to offer a coherent idea of legal regulation integrating heterogeneous legal entitlements under one conceptual whole. The chapter contends that while it is possible to justify the traditional account of labour law by employing the capability approach, full potential of the approach will be realized in engaging it in normative (re)conceptualization of regulation of work.

The Handbook of Positive Body Image and Embodiment

The conclusion addresses opportunities for progress in the field of body image by integrating the positive body image and embodiment domains and examining positive constructs of living in the body, protective factors, and related interventions. The conceptual articulation of positive ways of inhabiting the body broadens the range of factors included in etiological theories of body image and establishes important intervention goals. The breadth of protective factors addressed in this volume provides a wealth of ideas about constructive social initiatives. The volume also clarifies the value of adding a positive lens to examining established therapy and prevention interventions. As a whole, the edited volume suggests many promising paths in incorporating a positive lens to the study of the way people inhabit their bodies, related protective factors, and enriched health promotion and therapy interventions.

Dissolving Disciplinary Boundaries in “Making Together”: A Recall of the Boundary-Object Methodological Power

The goal of this article is to contribute to the literature on interdisciplinary collaboration by suggesting that efficient collaboration occurs when boundaries disappear (and not by trying to bridge them). It is using the constitutive approach to organization that I intend to comprehend this “dissolving of boundaries”, but also using Star and Griesemer notion of boundary-object as a framework. This conceptual articulation allows me to reveal the “making together” as the means for the disciplinary boundaries disappearance. This paper show how an architectural “project” becomes a site for communication enabling collaboration between specialists from various disciplines.

Un Acercamiento A La Relación Pitagórica A Través Del Cálculo De Ternas

The Pythagorean Theorem and more formally the Pythagorean Relationship (PR), is one of the most well-known and used results in the context of school mathematics, given that it is an axis of conceptual articulation between different areas of Mathematics. However, in the school context it is common for a Didactic Reductionism to be presented, only enunciating it and presenting the algebraic expression that relates the squares of the sides of a right triangle, leaving aside its great historical and epistemological significance. In view of this problem, this documentary research aims to design an alternative proposal to broaden the understanding of the Pythagorean Relationship, which is based on the calculation of Pythagorean Ternas. Three different methods are proposed to generate positive integers, that satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem and suggest questions that can guide learning activities to promote the understanding of some important elements within Mathematics, particularly in reference to the identification of numerical patterns.
