The Dynamics of Cultural Evolution

This book explores the nature of cultural and culturally structured social and behavioral entities, their evolutionary interactions, and the central role purposive behaviors play in those interactions. It, first, makes the case for cultural and cultural structured systems being considered as true entities bounded in time and space, and not ephemera in a constant state of becoming another system. Second, it examines how these entities interact to produce evolutionary culture change. It then argues that the intent of purposive behaviors is reliably knowable in the aggregate, at least when dealing with expressions of behavioral tendencies in the animal kingdom, humans included. Finally, the book references well documented behavioral tendencies for examples of proximate causation in the evolution of settled village societies and, following that, socially complex societies. Through these efforts, the book synthesizes the various approaches to the evolution of culture and provides a completeand comprehensive picture of the process. It provides a corrective to the tendency to view cultural systems as entirely open ended and as capable of changing in any direction; and also to treating cultural evolution as solely a result of selective forces, that is, in terms of only ultimate causation. This book provides an engaging and critical counterview to established theories of cultural evolution and is of interest to scholars and students of different disciplines, from anthropology and archeology, to evolutionary biology and epigenetics.

Bedeutende Aspekte des altersheterogenen Lernens in der Primarstufe

Der Fokus richtet sich auf die bedeutenden Aspekte des altersheterogenen Lernens in der Primarstufe. Zunächst werden die Begriffe Individualisierung, Differenzierung sowie Heterogenität definiert. Anschließend wird auf den altersgemischten Unterricht in Mehrstufenklassen im ländlichen Raum, sowie auf die Aspekte der Heterogenität im Mentoringprozess eingegangen. Im Zuge der empirischen Forschung wurde mit Hilfe eines Beziehungs- und Leistungssoziogrammes das Wahlverhalten der Schülerinnen und Schüler erforscht. Des Weiteren wurden mittels qualitativer Leitfadeninterviews mögliche Unterstützungsmaßnahmen für Berufseinsteigerinnen und Berufseinsteiger im Hinblick auf das Thema "Mehrstufenklasse" erfragt. Zusammenfassend lassen die Ergebnisse aus dieser Untersuchung den Schluss zu, dass kaum eine altersheterogene Partnerwahl in der Kleinschule im südlichen NÖ vorliegt und die Berufseinsteigerinnen und Berufseinsteiger mehr theoretische Grundlagen über die Heterogenität in Kleinschulen benötigen.

Pflege dynamisch vorwärtsgerichtet

Die Pflegeberufe mit ihrem anspruchsvollen Profil zwischen naturwissenschaftlich-technischer Befähigung und ausgeprägter sozialer Kompetenz stehen vor einer Reihe ungelöster Probleme und Aufgaben, u. a. im Kontext von demografischem Wandel, Fachkräftemangel, Digitalisierung und Akademisierung. Die Corona-Pandemie hat die Lage zusätzlich verschärft und es bleibt abzuwarten, wie sich ihre Folgen bewältigen lassen. Dabei steht eine qualitativ hochwertige Gesundheitsversorgung der Bevölkerung immer im Vordergrund. Wie wird sich die Pflege in diesem dynamischen Umfeld entwickeln? Wie muss sie gestaltet sein, um sowohl dem Modernisierungsdruck als auch ihrer gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung gerecht zu werden? Diesen Themen widmet sich das Fachbuch, das für Praktiker genauso geeignet ist wie für Studierende und Lehrende an Hochschulen. Es versammelt Expertenbeiträge zu Entwicklungen in Pflegeberuf und pflegerischer Versorgung, die in der Praxis aufgenommen und weitergeführt werden sollten. Ein unverzichtbarer Band, der nicht nur aktuelle Tendenzen analysiert, sondern vor allem wertvolle Perspektiven für die Zukunft der Pflege aufzeigt.

Depression and Personality

Depression and Personality: Conceptual and Clinical Challenges offers an intriguing new look at where we are in understanding the relationship between personality dimensions, disorders, and mood disorder. It is both a cogent update of conceptual models and a clearly written, practical guide to the challenges faced every day by clinicians as they treat patients with depression and bipolar disorder. Laying the groundwork for subsequent chapters, the editors emphasize the value of not only robust pharmacotherapy augmented by psychosocial interventions (with a focus on the assets rather than the liabilities of a patient's temperament), but also of a detailed review of where we are today. An introductory overview provides valuable historical perspective on the evolution of personality from "humors" to body constitution and temperament. In 10 informative chapters, 22 contributors discuss - The neurobiological dimensions of personality, focusing on affect-related traits as they review the evidence for serotonin and norepinephrine disturbance based on challenge paradigms, and the range of models to understand the interrelationship between personality and depression.- The justification for depressive personality in both categorical terms, i.e., adding to the diagnostic armamentarium of DSM-V, and dimensional terms, focusing on the Five Factor Model to provide a link between several facets of neuroticism and depressive personality disorder. - The impact of personality on various aspects of treatment, filling in a gap in the pharmacotherapy literature by asserting that personality pathology can affect the patient's capacity to seek, be engaged in, or be compliant with treatment.- Key assessment and treatment issues, recommending a multimodal phased treatment approach that involves targeted pharmacotherapy and integrated individual psychotherapy.- The role of personality disorder in the assessment and treatment of chronic depression, with a concise, practical overview of medication and psychotherapy issues regarding the role of Axis II disorders, and the complex relationship between bipolar disorder and personality factors.- The complexity involved in adolescent depression with personality disorder, providing a conceptual framework for understanding what factors of personality contribute to vulnerability for depression in adolescents, and depression in later life, including particularly relevant issues such as the role of physical illness and organic factors on the clinical presentation of personality and affective disorder Invaluable reading for clinicians and researchers alike, Depression and Personality: Conceptual and Clinical Challenges offers fascinating perspectives on the historical antecedents, neurobiological dimensions, and conceptual models regarding the relationship between personality and depression.

Signs of Virginity

Although the theme of bloodied nuptial sheets seems pervasive in western culture, its association with female virginity is uniquely tied to a brief passage in the book of Deuteronomy detailing the procedure for verifying a young woman's purity; it seldom, if ever, appears outside of Abrahamic traditions. In Signs of Virginity, Michael Rosenberg examines the history of virginity testing in Judaism and early Christianity, and the relationship of these tests to a culture that encourages male sexual violence. Deuteronomy's violent vision of virginity has held sway in Jewish and Christian circles more or less ever since. However, Rosenberg points to two authors-the rabbinic collective that produced the Babylonian Talmud and the early Christian thinker Augustine of Hippo-who, even as they perpetuate patriarchal assumptions about female virginity, nonetheless attempt to subvert the emphasis on sexual dominance bequeathed to them by Deuteronomy. Unlike the authors of earlier Rabbinic and Christian texts, who modified but fundamentally maintained and even extended the Deuteronomic ideal, the Babylonian Talmud and Augustine both construct alternative models of female virginity that, if taken seriously, would utterly reverse cultural ideals of masculinity. Indeed this vision of masculinity as fundamentally gentle, rather than characterized by brutal and violent sexual behavior, fits into a broader idealization of masculinity propagated by both authors, who reject what Augustine called a "lust for dominance" as a masculine ideal.
