As criticisms of factory farming continue to mount, an increasing number of individuals have changed their existing dietary practices. Perhaps the two most important food movements reacting against industrial farming are (1) vegetarianism, the avoidance of animal flesh; and (2) conscientious omnivorism (CO), the consumption of meat or fish only when it satisfies certain ethical standards. While...

This article argues that, to understand where find the study object ‘Islam’ and how address it, researchers in Islamic studies need be theoretically methodologically aware of importance implications power practices. By discussing enunciations associated with Islam, problems reification, power, cognitive naming, semiotic resources mobilised by enunciations, proposes ways operationalise grand sca...

The various feminisms create a complex and sometimes contradictory picture. Within social work care, there has been mixed reception. However, it is maintained that gendered analysis in profession where women remain the majority remains highly relevant. In particular, continuing increasing pay gap relatively low numbers of senior positions are used as markers. Similarly, comparisons between ‘cho...

BACKGROUND Naming accuracy for nouns and verbs in aphasia can vary across different elicitation contexts, for example, simple picture naming, composite picture description, narratives, and conversation. For some people with aphasia, naming may be more accurate to simple pictures as opposed to naming in spontaneous, connected speech; for others, the opposite pattern may be evident. These differe...

objective : the major objective of this study was to determine the means and 95% confidence interval of normal 6 years old children's motor-verbal skills. based on the results of this study we could develop a measure to diagnose abnormal motor skills. in addition, in this follow-up study, we compared the first-graders' motor-verbal skills to their own skills one year earlier. method: ...

background naming is a simple and basic skill of the language which involves semantic, lexical, and phonological levels. there are many different factors affecting the speed and convenience of naming. one of these factors is the word age of acquisition (aoa) and since language processing occurs at an extremely fast rate, psycholinguistics needs a method that has very good temporal resolution. t...

While recognizing the theoretical importance of context, current research has treated naming as though semantic meaning were invariant and the same mapping of category exemplars and names should exist across experimental contexts. An assumed symmetry or bidirectionality in naming behavior has been implicit in the interchangeable use of tasks that ask subjects to match names to stimuli and tasks...

In this paper we have described the construction of a graded naming test that makes the distinction between object and proper names. This distinction was prompted by a single case study of a patient who showed a specific naming impairment for a particular class of proper names. Naming vocabulary was found to be highly correlated with other measures of verbal intelligence and we have discussed t...

We examined the contribution of executive control to individual differences in response time (RT) for naming objects and actions. Following Miyake et al., executive control was assumed to include updating, shifting, and inhibiting abilities, which were assessed using operation span, task-switching, and stop-signal tasks, respectively. Experiment 1 showed that updating ability was significantly ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Visual object naming traditionally has been used to identify cortical areas essential for naming (i.e., word retrieval), and investigators have found critical naming sites in the middle and posterior temporal region in most patients. Based on clinical observation, empirical findings, and the pathophysiology of temporal lobe epilepsy, the authors hypothesized that naming...
