Book Description
"This experiment is the sixth in a series of system studies dealing with various aspects of air traffic control. The purpose was to evaluate the performance of a one-controller system with (a) an omnipresent clock-type identity code vs. (b) the absence of identity on the radar blips. Data were recorded for a total of 1267 movements of jet-type fighter and bomber aircraft, which were accepted at four different entry rates. Four experienced USAF controllers served in the study. No conflicts (failures to achieve specified separations) and no missed approaches occurred at the slowest input rate (an average of one aircraft every 105 sec.), but a few conflicts and go-arounds (about 3%) occurred at the higher rates. This decrease in safety margin was most notable at the highest rate (60-sec. separation). Measures of fuel consumption and control time in moving aircraft through a zone of 50-mi. radius around the GCA gate showed significant superiority for the system that provided aircraft identity. An analysis of communications from controllers to pilots also showed small reductions in communications under the identity condition."--Abstract.

Analogous Uses of Language, Eucharistic Identity, and the 'baptist' Vision
Author: Aaron James
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1625648405
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
This book considers a 'baptist' account of the identity of the church, Jesus' body, and the communion elements in the Lord's Supper. It does so in conversation with Thomas Aquinas, Balthasar Hubmaier, and James Wm. McClendon, Jr. in the context of contemporary Baptist engagements with ecumenical Christianity and of contemporary philosophy of language. In a very creative and imaginative way it sets the stage for an account of the identity of Jesus' body, the bread and wine, and the church, that makes a constructive contribution to ecumenical Christianity

Christian Tourist Attractions, Mythmaking, and Identity Formation
Author: Erin Roberts
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350006211
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Christian Tourist Attractions, Mythmaking, and Identity Formation examines a sampling of contemporary Christian tourist attractions that position visitors as the inheritors of ancient, sacred traditions and make claims about the truth of the historical narratives that they promote. Rather than approaching these attractions as sacred expressions of religious experience or as uncontested accounts of history, the book applies recent work on mythmaking and identity formation to argue that these presentations of the past function as strategic discourses that serve material concerns in the present. From an approach informed by social and materialist theories of religion, the volume draws upon a variety of methodological approaches that enable readers to understand the often-bewildering array of objects, claims, demands, and activities (not to mention the seemingly endless array of gifts and personal items available for purchase) that appear at attractions including Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, the Holy Land Experience, Bible Walk Museum, Christian Zionist tours of Israel, and the recently opened Museum of the Bible. Discourse analysis, practice theory, rhetorical criticism, and embodied theories of cognition help make sense not only of the Christian tourist attractions under examination but also of the ways that “religion” is entangled with contemporary social, political, and economic interests more broadly.

LGBTQIA Students in Higher Education: Approaches to Student Identity and Policy
Author: Prieto, Kaity
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Today’s institutions of higher education must continuously adapt to meet the evolving needs and expectations of each new generation of students. The LGBTQIA community’s presence in academia is significant and continues to grow. The individuals who identify with this community are four times more likely to attend higher education institutions away from home. However, a substantial proportion of these students remain unseen, with more than half avoiding exposure of their identity to faculty and staff, and in some cases even to their peers. LGBTQIA Students in Higher Education: Approaches to Student Identity and Policy is a comprehensive academic exploration of the intricate world of LGBTQIA students in higher education. This book sheds light on the multifaceted challenges and complexities that LGBTQIA students face, transcending the boundaries of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, ability, and socio-economic class.

Language, Discourse and Identity in Central Europe
Author: J. Carl
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230241662
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Central Europe has always been a highly multilingual region but how has this been affected by the social and political transformations of the last 20 years? The German language in particular has long played a key role in processes of identification here: but what role is the relationship between German and other languages playing today in the reshaping of societies and communities in this rapidly changing region? How is this relationship articulated in discourses on language and language ideologies? How is it manifested in individual repertoires and social practices? How is it determined by social and cultural policies? How is it exploited in the construction of European identities? These are just some of the questions addressed in this book, in which individual studies explore language practices in the multilingual contact zones of central Europe and the impact of both past and present migrations. Analysing a wide range of sources from media texts to language biographies and from business meetings to salsa classes, the authors demonstrate the local effects of global processes and some of the many ways in which language figures in contemporary social change.

Analysing Identity
Author: Peter Weinreich
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134425228
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
People's identities are addressed and brought into being by interaction with others. Identity processes encompass biographical experiences, historical eras and cultural norms in which the self's autonomy varies according to the flux of power relationships with others. Identity Structure Analysis (ISA) draws upon psychological, sociological and social anthropological theory and evidence to formulate a system of concepts that help explain the notion of identity. They can be applied to the practical investigations of identity structure and identity development in a number of clinical, societal and cultural settings. This book includes topics on national and ethnic identification in multicultural contexts and gender identity relating to social context and the urban environment. Clinical applications that describe identity processes associated with psychological distress are also examined. These include anorexia nervosa and vicarious traumatisation of counsellors in the aftermath of atrocity. Analysing Identity is unique in its development of this integrative conceptualisation of self and identity, and its operationalisation in practice. This innovative book will appeal to academics and professionals in developmental, social, cross-cultural, clinical and educational psychology and psychotherapy. It will also be of interest to those involved with sociology, political science, gender studies, ethnic studies and social policy. Of particular note is the availability of new software, Ipseus, which facilitates ISA for use by practitioners. It enables them to enhance their professional skills by ascertaining their clients’ perspectives on self as located in the social world. This has been successfully used with pre-school three to five year-old children, and all other age-ranges through childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Ipseus is designed to be used in inter-cultural contexts and appeals to practitioners for their input for the generation of customized identity instruments (see www.identityexploration.com).

Museums, Migration and Identity in Europe
Author: Christopher Whitehead
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317092686
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The imperatives surrounding museum representations of place have shifted from the late eighteenth century to today. The political significance of place itself has changed and continues to change at all scales, from local, civic, regional to national and supranational. At the same time, changes in population flows, migration patterns and demographic movement now underscore both cultural and political practice, be it in the accommodation of ’diversity’ in cultural and social policy, scholarly explorations of hybridity or in state immigration controls. This book investigates the historical and contemporary relationships between museums, places and identities. It brings together contributions from international scholars, academics, practitioners from museums and public institutions, policymakers, and representatives of associations and migrant communities to explore all these issues.
