Transnational Anti-Communism and the Cold War

Transnational Anti-Communism and the Cold War

Stéphanie Roulin; Giles Scott-Smith

Palgrave Macmillan
2014
nidottu
How was anti-communism organised in the West? This book covers the agents, aims, and arguments of various transnational anti-communist activists during the Cold War. Existing narratives often place the United States – and especially the CIA – at the centre of anti-communist activity. The book instead opens up new fields of research transnationally.

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality

R. Scott Smith

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2011
sidottu
Philosophical naturalism is taken to be the preferred and reigning epistemology and metaphysics that underwrites many ideas and knowledge claims. But what if we cannot know reality on that basis? What if the institution of science is threatened by its reliance on naturalism? R. Scott Smith argues in a fresh way that we cannot know reality on the basis of naturalism. Moreover, the "fact-value" split has failed to serve our interests of wanting to know reality. The author provocatively argues that since we can know reality, it must be due to a non-naturalistic ontology, best explained by the fact that human knowers are made and designed by God. The book offers fresh implications for the testing of religious truth-claims, science, ethics, education, and public policy. Consequently, naturalism and the fact-value split are shown to be false, and Christian theism is shown to be true.

Ancient Rome

Ancient Rome

R. Scott Smith

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc
2014
sidottu
"Terrific ...exactly the sort of collection we have long needed: one offering a wide range of texts, both literary and documentary, and that--with the inclusion of Sulpicia and Perpetua--allows students to hear the voices of actual women from the ancient world. The translations themselves are fluid; the inclusion of long extracts allows students to sink their teeth into material in ways not possible with traditional source books. The anonymous texts, inscriptions, and other non-literary material topically arranged in the 'Documentary' section will enable students to see how the documentary evidence supplements or undermines the views advanced in the literary texts. This is a book that should be of great use to anyone teaching a survey of the history of Ancient Rome or a Roman Civilization course. I look forward to teaching with this book which is, I think, the best source book I have seen for the way we teach these days." --David Potter, University of Michigan

Exposing the Roots of Constructivism

Exposing the Roots of Constructivism

R. Scott Smith

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
Constructivism dominates over other theories of knowledge in much of western academia, especially the humanities and social sciences. In Exposing the Roots of Constructivism: Nominalism and the Ontology of Knowledge, R. Scott Smith argues that constructivism is linked to the embrace of nominalism, the theory that everything is particular and located in space and time. Indeed, nominalism is sufficient for a view to be constructivist.However, the natural sciences still enjoy great prestige from the “fact-value split.” They are often perceived as giving us knowledge of the facts of reality, and not merely our constructs. In contrast, ethics and religion, which also have been greatly influenced by nominalism, usually are perceived as giving us just our constructs and opinions. Yet, even the natural sciences have embraced nominalism, and Smith shows that this will undermine knowledge in those disciplines as well. Indeed, the author demonstrates that, at best, nominalism leaves us with only interpretations, but at worst, it undermines all knowledge whatsoever. However, there are many clear examples of knowledge we do have in the many different disciplines, and therefore those must be due to a different ontology of properties. Thus, nominalism should be rejected. In its place, the author defends a kind of Platonic realism about properties.

Foundations of Interprofessional Health Education

Foundations of Interprofessional Health Education

C. Scott Smith

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book is designed to introduce a theory of ecological psychology into interprofessional health education. The foundations are affordances (features in the environment that afford the opportunity to be recognized and utilized), the life-world (what the meaningful environment contains for the trainee), and behavioral-settings (person-made affordances that are permissive, supportive, or resistive to specific behaviors). Expanding the life-world is the main mechanism of learning in health care. Becoming aware of intentional and unintentional features of the behavioral setting is how we structure the curricular environment to achieve this life-world expansion. The book is structured into four domains: The Natural Domain, The Mental Domain, The Social Domain, and Non-Linearity. The final application section lays out a structure for designing, implementing, and evaluating the educational program in a professional healthcare setting. This book is ideal for clinician managers of interprofessional healthcare clinics, and for the teachers and trainees from each discipline (e.g., medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, social work, etc.).

Grundlagen der interprofessionellen Gesundheitsbildung

Grundlagen der interprofessionellen Gesundheitsbildung

C. Scott Smith

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
Dieses Buch führt in eine Theorie der ökologischen Psychologie innerhalb der interprofessionelle Gesundheitsbildung ein. Die Grundlagen sind Affordanzen (Merkmale der Umgebung, die die Möglichkeit bieten, erkannt und genutzt zu werden), die Lebenswelt (was die bedeutungsvolle Umgebung für den Lernenden enthält) und Verhaltenssettings (von Menschen geschaffene Affordanzen, die spezifische Verhaltensweisen erlauben, unterstützen oder dagegenwirken). Die Erweiterung der Lebenswelt ist der Hauptmechanismus des Lernens im Gesundheitswesen. Das Bewusstsein für absichtliche und unbeabsichtigte Merkmale des Verhaltenssettings hilft uns, die curriculare Umgebung zu strukturieren, um diese Erweiterung der Lebenswelt zu erreichen. Das Buch ist in vier Aspekte unterteilt: der natürliche Aspekt, der mentale Aspekt, der soziale Aspekt und die Nichtlinearität. Der abschließende Anwendungsteil bietet eine Struktur für die Gestaltung, Implementierung und Evaluation des Bildungsprogramms in einem professionellen Gesundheitsumfeld. Dieses Buch ist ideal für Gesundheitsmanager interprofessioneller Gesundheitseinrichtungen sowie für Lehrende und Studierende aus verschiedenen Disziplinen, z. B. Medizin, Pflege, Pharmazie, Psychologie, Sozialarbeit.

Interprofessional Education in Patient-Centered Medical Homes

Interprofessional Education in Patient-Centered Medical Homes

C. Scott Smith; Winslow G. Gerrish; William G. Weppner

Springer International Publishing AG
2015
sidottu
This book discusses the application of complex adaptive systems theory to the design and evaluation of patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs). The three defining goals of PCMHs are to spread patient-care roles among healthcare team members, focus on disease prevention and include the patient in the healthcare team. It explains why some PCMH pilots are highly successful while others do not show much benefit, covers specific sub-theories that allow for bracketing of different aspects of the clinic system and highlights strategies by which institutions can engage in this process. Inter professional Education in Patient-Centered Medical Homes is a valuable resource for faculty and managers of health professions teaching clinics, deans of medical and health professional schools and medical administrators.

Machining Dynamics

Tony L. Schmitz; K. Scott Smith

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2014
nidottu
"Machining dynamics: Frequency response to improved productivity" will train engineers and students in the practical application of machining dynamics, with a particular focus on milling. The book is arranged such that the steps required to improve machining productivity through chatter avoidance and reduced surface location error (forced vibrations resulting in part geometric errors) are clearly evident. The following topics are covered in detail: modal analysis, including experimental methods, to obtain the tool point frequency response function; descriptions of turning and milling, including force modeling, time domain simulation, stability lobe diagram algorithms, and surface location error calculation for milling; and receptance coupling methods for tool point frequency response prediction, including beam theory. Numerical examples are included, as well as the MATLAB code used to develop the figures.
