Concept Synopsis of the Course Combining theoretical and philosophical investigations on the Philosophy and History and Philosophy of Social Science, and its rooted reasoning, and practice based experiments from ethnographic fieldwork in various regions, a series of research seminars; this course addresses questions regarding the processes and practices of Reciprocity. The course is intercepting not the Philosophy of knowledge but rather, it aims to address the problem of Practical aspect of Knowledge practice, regardless the genre of Anthropology, sociology, social work political science and so forth. This is thus weighted towards not the theory whereas, concomitantly, will consider the relation between theory and practice of scientific knowledge. Focusing on the relations between designing his/her ontological transformation, making and using, delegates will be introduced to a series of issues on the interface between: theory and practice, building and using respective disciplinary (Anthropological or Sociological, for instance) skills. The entire course will be explored though collaborative team working, co-ownership of research, co-management of authorship, research-design, co-analysis, and crosscomparative study as an indelible imperative of knowledge practice. In addition students are required to read speciied texts from the reading list. This course aims to transform scholar as human as universal as Mother Hill believed in the enhancement of learning through beauty and harmony. This its weekly learning has been developed in a collaboration between the theology, Christianity, Buddhsim, Yoga, Jews philosopher like Saadia Gaon, Muslim Scholar, Al-Farabi. This course seeded on the message of Mother Hill, who believed in the enhancement of learning through beauty and harmony. Since University of San Diego campus had been a home of 4 major tribal communities, people, this we recall Indigenous spoekman Vine Deloria, We are aware that "we do not fit comfortably or conveniently within Western civilization [and canon of social sciences]. This is not a regret. It is an affirmation-a living testimony to the resilience of [marginal people] (Deloria, Deloria Jr, & Wildcat, D. (2001, p. vii). Let us see the world, through the "eye of the beholder," who were the son of this soil.

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy

The intention of this paper is to outline the stratigraphic and chronological sequence of Julfar al-Nudud (Ras al-Khaimah, UAE, henceforth referred to as Al-Nudud), and to compare it to the archaeological record revealed by former excavations at the neighbouring site of Julfar al-Mataf (henceforth Al-Mataf). Both are part of the same very major medieval coastal town, historically known as Julfar. The dating of the various excavated elements of Al-Mataf will then be reconsidered, and a concordance established with the phases at Al-Nudud, allowing us to examine the developmental trajectory of the city. This will then briefly be set within its historical context. Only passing reference will be made to the architecture and the major classes of finds, with the exception of the Far Eastern ceramics, which contain valuable dating evidence. The full architectural and artefactual record will be presented in the final monograph, currently in preparation, which includes specialist studies of the local ceramics, the glassware, the coins, and fish and faunal remains. The excavations at Al-Nudud took place in February-April 2010, funded by the Government of Ras al-Khaimah, and conducted by a team from Oxford Brookes Archaeology

Continuidad y cambio: pintura y pintores durante el reinado de los Borbones en Iberoamérica, 2016

This article examines the production and circulation of secular female portraiture in eighteenth-century New Spain. Focusing on the role of portraiture as an agent in the formation of individual and collective identities, this study delves into the ways in which portraits construct identities by mobilizing and representing values and ideas related to class, status and gender that circulated in eighteenth-century New Spanish culture. Specifically, this essay analyses how while mobilizing a visual formula borrowed from male official portraiture, society portraits of elite women engage viewers into an interpretation of pictorial conventions that is specific to the female gender. Finally, this article explores the effects of the portrait’s display, in the construction of meaning by proposing the salón de estrado, as a site where seemingly contradicting ideas about womanhood are negotiated.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the three disorders in the bipolar spectrum, Bipolar I disorder, Bipolar II disorder and Cyclothymia, are various expressions of an underlying genetic commonality. Method: A sample consisting of same-sexed mono (MZ)-and dizygotic (DZ) twins were identified using hospital and outpatient registers (N = 303). DSM-III-R criteria were assessed by personal interviews. Cross tabulations were used to compare concordance rates for different definitions of the bipolar spectrum. Correlations in liability and estimation of the heritability (h) with biometrical model fitting were performed. Results: Concordance rates were higher among MZ-than DZ pairs for all the single diagnoses and main combinations of diagnoses. Cross-concordance between different diagnoses was observed. The heritability of Bipolar I was .73, of Bipolar I + II .77 and of Bipolar I + II + Cyclothymia .71. Limitation: Probands were not sampled from the general population. Most often the same person interviewed both twins in a pair. The statistical power was restricted in some sub-analyses. Conclusion: The 'Bipolar Spectrum' category consisting of Bipolar I disorder, Bipolar II disorder and Cyclothymia constitute one entity with high heritability without detectable shared family environmental effects. Future genetic and clinical work might consider that all variants of the bipolar spectrum are an expression of one underlying genetic liability.
