8.1.2Why do you think the Home Secretary did not draw on this research when interpreting the asylum Considering these findings alongside the statistical data and our personal stories, we can draw some conclusions about the production and reproduction of knowledge about refugees and asylum seekers through research:
2.3 Synchronous and asynchronous message passing
Synchronous message passing involves one entity (usually a client) in the message passing process sending a message and a second entity (usually a server) receiving it, carrying out some processing and then sending back some response which the first entity processes in some way. While the second entity is carrying out the processing the first entity pauses waiting for the response. In asynchronous message passing each entity in the process does not have to wait for the next part
3.6 Supporting Napoleon's bulletins The scene broadly accords with Napoleon's bulletins, which similarly focus on the Russian casualties and, in expressing sorrow at the horrors of the battlefield, imply that the blame lies with other leaders: the sight, he wrote, ‘is made to inspire in princes the love of peace and the abhorrence ofwar’ (quoted in Prendergast, 1997, p.163). The incident with the Lithuanian was apparently Denon's invention. In his letter announcing the competition, Denon justifies the choice of moment by cl
What you get is what you expect
Pain is a major health care problem worldwide. It affects the well-being of millions of individuals, and its financial burden upon our societies is considerable. Pain is not a simple reflection of the degree of tissue-damage, it is strongly influenced by expectations and beliefs individuals hold about pain and their ability to cope with it. In this lecture, Dr Katja Wiech from the Centre for Pain Research, talks about research into how expectations can influence the outcome of pain treatment.
1.2: Converting to geometric form You have seen how any vector given in geometric form, in
terms of magnitude and direction, can be written in component form.
You will now see how conversion in the opposite sense may be
achieved, starting from component form. In other words, given a
vector
a = a

i + a

j,
what are its magnitude |a| and direction θ? The first part of this question is dealt with using
Pythagoras’ Theorem: the magnitude of a v
Birth of the Solar System
This is a brief look at the birth of our solar system. It begins with the formation of our star, and goes over things ranging from the big bang to the creation of elements. It includes brief interviews with scientists.
Vanderbilt University community gathers for VU Eclipse 2017
Vanderbilt University students, faculty, and staff joined together to witness a once-in-a-lifetime event: a total solar eclipse.
Synaesthesia and Citizen Science
Part one. The team examines the neurological condition synaesthesia and the recent Oxford study which sheds light on its genetic basis. Also explored is Galaxy Zoo, an innovative Oxford project which asks the public to help classify galaxies.
Enacting European Citizenship (ENACT)
The term 'European citizenship' triggers an immediate association with the European Union, its member states, and people who are citizens of those states. This free course, Enacting European Citizenship (ENACT), develops another way of thinking about European citizenship whereby European citizenship need not be granted by the state, limited to the territory within the EU borders or acted out by people who are already citizens.

If we make allowance for regional and sectarian variations, we can gain some truly representative insights into a central preoccupation of living Hinduism.

Overseas contractors were selected on the basis of market price, quality and reliability, not on whether forced or child labour happened to be employed to stitch the product together. However, all that changed in the early 1990s when the geographical ties between the big retailer Acknowledgements Grateful acknowledgement is made to the following sources for permission to reproduce material within this course: Course image: P K in Flickr made available under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Licence.

[Audio] Activity 8: Exploring cultural dimensions on Hofstede's website Allow 60 minutes for this activity. You have now explored how different people can have different perceptions and how national culture may be one reason why this is the case. You have spent some time too looking at one explanation of national culture and the differences between countries. Hofstede's ideas are quite complex and, for this reason, this activity is an opportunity for you to consolidate your understanding of Geert Hofstede's research. In this activity you will d Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: recognise that ‘European identity’ is a socially constructed attribute appreciate the basis for the unities as well as the divisions among Europeans understand the ways European identities are assessed and measured appreciate the key role of ‘culture’ in the organisation of a common European identity understand that European identity could be a bottom-up process 9.1 Further reading

Speaker(s): Professor Partha Dasgupta | Contemporary economics is mostly unconcerned with distortions to individual incentives that lead to population and consumption overshoots. Currently the overshoot would appear to be in consumption in the rich world and fertility in the poor world. In this lecture Professor Dasgupta will trace those distortions to an absence of adequate property rights to the biosphere and to the fact that human preferences are socially embedded. Those distortions also enco
