We report the case of a 23-year-old left-handed woman with medically intractable praxis-induced reflex seizures mainly precipitated by writing. Selective resection of subtle end-of-sulcus cortical dysplasia in the right inferior parietal lobule resulted in freedom from seizures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of praxis-induced reflex seizures mainly precipitated by writing...

In this essay, Merleau-Ponty presented a conception of heroism through which he expressed the attitude toward post-Hegelian philosophy of history that underwrote his efforts to ...

Organisation has been a persistent focus of large parts of the fields dealing with use and design of computer artefacts. In recent years the concept of organisational learning has gained persistent interest despite the growing sensitivity to communities of praxis in theses fields.
