Dual Process Theory 2.0

Dual Process Theory 2.0

Dual Process Theory 2. 0 provides a comprehensive overview of the new directions in which dual process research is heading. Human thinking is often characterized as an interplay between intuition and deliberation and this two-headed dual process view of human thinking has been very influential in the cognitive sciences and popular media. However despite the popularity of the dual process framework it faces multiple challenges. Recent advances indicate that there is a strong need to re-think some of the fundamental assumptions of the original dual process model. With chapters written by leading scholars who have been actively involved in the development of an upgraded ‘Dual Process Theory 2. 0’ this edited volume presents an accessible overview of the latest empirical findings and theoretical ideas. . With cutting edge insights on the interaction between intuition and deliberation Dual Process Theory 2. 0 should be of interest to psychologists philosophers and economists who are using dual process models.

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Air cargo is a key element of the global supply chain. It allows outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries and links production in both multinational and smaller enterprises. It has also been the most important driver of certain export industries in countries such as South Africa Kenya and Chile. As a component of the air transport industry air cargo makes the crucial difference between profit and loss on many long-haul routes. This second edition of Moving Boxes by Air offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the business and practices of air cargo with chapters dedicated to key issues such as current trends market characteristics regulation airport terminal operations pricing and revenues and environmental impacts. The book illustrates the recent emphasis on mergers at the expense of alliances which have not had the impact that they had on passenger operations. The section on security has been expanded to assess in more depth the threats to aircraft from terrorists particularly in the lower cargo and passenger baggage compartments. Surcharges are examined and the book considers whether all airlines will follow the lead of some to do away with both fuel and security surcharges. The book concludes with a summary of the latest industry forecasts. Fully updated throughout this edition is the definitive guide to air cargo for professionals within both the aviation and freight industries. | Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

In forming the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918 Britain created the world’s first independent air service. Britain entered the First World War with less than 200 ill-assorted flying machines divided between the army and the navy but by the end of the war the RAF mustered almost 300 000 personnel and 22 000 aircraft. Originally published in 1986 more than 65 years after the event the decision to form the RAF remained poorly understood and Malcolm Cooper presented the first detailed modern analysis of its creation shedding new light on the process by which Britain entered the air age. Set against the background of the build-up of air power during the First World War the book explains how deepening political concern at failures in home air defence public demands for retaliatory air action against Germany problems of mobilization and expansion in the aircraft industry and disagreements between the existing army and navy air services combined to create the conditions for an independent air force. The author argues that the pressures of war were insufficient to give real substance to the RAF’s independence and that its failure to escape from its wartime role as an ancillary service was also of crucial significance in the evolution of British air strategy in later years. Based on an extensive study of official documents and private papers and amply illustrated with contemporary photographs this title will prove invaluable in understanding both strategic thinking in the Great War and the early development of a form of warfare which dominated military and naval operations in the twentieth century. | The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Scaffolding Language Development in Immersion and Dual Language Classrooms

Scaffolding Language Development in Immersion and Dual Language Classrooms

This book introduces research-based pedagogical practices for supporting and enhancing language development and use in school-based immersion and dual language programs in which a second foreign heritage or indigenous language is used as the medium of subject-matter instruction. Using counterbalanced instruction as the volume’s pedagogical framework the authors map out the specific pedagogical skill set and knowledge base that teachers in immersion and dual language classrooms need so their students can engage with content taught through an additional language while continuing to improve their proficiency in that language. To illustrate key concepts and effective practices the authors draw on classroom-based research and include teacher-created examples of classroom application. The following topics are covered in detail: defining characteristics of immersion and dual language programs and features of well-implemented programs strategies to promote language and content integration in curricular planning as well as classroom instruction and performance assessment an instructional model to counterbalance form-focused and content-based instruction scaffolding strategies that support students’ comprehension and production while ensuring continued language development an approach to creating cross-linguistic connections through biliteracy instruction a self-assessment tool for teachers to reflect on their pedagogical growth Also applicable to content and language integrated learning and other forms of content-based language teaching this comprehensive volume includes graphics to facilitate navigation and provides Resources for Readers and Application Activities at the end of each chapter. The book will be a key resource for preservice and in-service teachers administrators and teacher educators. | Scaffolding Language Development in Immersion and Dual Language Classrooms

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The relationship between the government and the market lies at the heart of Economics as a discipline. This title approaches this issue with a new lens termed mezzoeconomics—A branch of modern economics that mainly studies regional economic entities and the allocation of regional resources after they are generated. Combining mezzoeconomic theory with practice in the light of China’s Reform and Opening-up the author analyzes the regional governments’ participation in market competition the dual entities (enterprises and regional governments) of market competition and a mature market economy featuring a strong form of effective government and efficient market. Three corresponding theories are proposed—the Regional Government Competition Theory the Dual-Entity of Market Competition Theory (DEMC) and the “Double Strong Forms” Theory. The author hopes that these theories of mezzoeconomics can build a new effective theoretical model and serve as a guidance for regional governments to reform and innovate their governance philosophy and policies. This book will be of keen interest to students and scholars of economics and regional governance. | The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical thought involves the imagination of possibilities and the exploration of their consequences by a process of mental simulation. In this Classic Edition Jonathan St B. T. Evans presents his pioneering hypothetical thinking theory; an integrated theoretical account of a wide range of psychological studies on hypothesis testing reasoning judgement and decision making. Hypothetical thinking theory is built on three key principles and implemented in a version of Evans' well-known heuristic–analytic theory of reasoning. The central claim of this book is that this theory can provide an integrated account of apparently diverse phenomena including confirmation bias in hypothesis testing acceptance of fallacies in deductive reasoning belief biases in reasoning and judgement biases of statistical judgement and numerous characteristic findings in the study of decision making. Featuring a reflective and insightful new introduction to the book this Classic Edition discusses contemporary theory on cognitive biases human rationality and dual-process theories of higher cognition. It will be of great interest to researchers post graduates as well as advanced undergraduate students. | Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Air Pollution and Climate Change The Basics

Air Pollution and Climate Change The Basics

This book identifies four key forms of air pollution: indoor urban regional and global. It discusses how these four types of pollution are manifest in today’s society and examines the scientific and policy challenges that stand in the way of progress. Written in a style that balances scientific underpinnings with accessible language Pearson and Derwent examine the sources and historical context of air pollutants before dedicating a chapter to each of the key forms. Armed with these basics they begin to address the challenges faced by improving indoor urban and regional air quality whilst reducing global warming in the years ahead. This leads to a greater understanding of the challenges of global climate change with new proposals for reducing global warming. However the authors conclude that it is only when we have a scenario of reforestation combined with reductions in emissions of all greenhouse gases that real progress will be made in the fight against climate change. Then air pollution will also be consigned to history. With a foreword written by Professor James Lovelock this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change and environmental policy as well as air quality professionals working in this important field. | Air Pollution and Climate Change The Basics

The Regulation of Air Transport From Protection to Liberalisation and Back Again

The Regulation of Air Transport From Protection to Liberalisation and Back Again

The regulation of modern civil aviation can be traced back to the later years of the Second World War. An intense debate about the future regulatory regime resulted in a compromise which to this day essentially dictates the structure of the global airline industry. Further progress towards ‘normalising’ the industry appears to be slowing down and perhaps even going into reverse. Without an understanding of the development of regulation it is not possible to understand fully the industry’s current problems and how they might be resolved. Many books have been written about the development of international air transport covering deregulation privatisation the emergence of new business models among other things but few if any have taken a broad view of the trends which have determined the industry’s current structure. The Regulation of Air Transport charts the development of aviation from the end of the Second World War to the present day following the key trends and disruptive forces. It provides an overview of what has determined the industry’s current structure the problems still facing the industry and the ways in which it could develop in the future. This wide-ranging study is important reading for both professionals and academics within the aviation field as well as anyone interested in the broader development of economic regulation. | The Regulation of Air Transport From Protection to Liberalisation and Back Again

Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Originally published in 1986 this book is based on research carried out in 102 County secondary and Church of England secondary and primary schools in London the North West Region and the West Midlands. It analyses data collected from interviews with 102 headteachers 67 religious education teachers and 139 parents whose children were attending Church schools. The book is divided into four main areas. First it examines pupil admission policies illustrating their effect both with the schools and on the neighbourhood. Second it outlines the policies and practices adopted by Church school governors in appointing teaching staff and discusses the implications of these policies. The third area deals with school worship assemblies and religious education and their place in the life of the school. The study highlights important issues and challenges facing schools especially where there is considerable religious diversity among pupils. It discusses some of the difficulties of implementing the law relating to the daily act of worship and why some schools observe the law while others disregard it. Key issues are explored which are central to the teaching of religious education: How RE teachers respond to religious diversity; why Christianity may or may not be given a central place in RE classes; what parents and RE teachers hope RE classes will achieve for pupils by the time they leave school. The fourth area focusses on multicultural education and illustrates the divergent views of headteachers on the aims purposes and relevance on multicultural education. | Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Consciousness Language and Self proposes that the human self is innately bilingual. Conscious mind includes two qualitatively distinct mental processes each of which uses the same formal elements of language differently. The mother tongue the language of primordial consciousness begins in utero and our second language reflective symbolic thought begins in infancy. Michael Robbins describes the respective roles the two conscious mental processes and their particular use of language play in the course of normal and pathological development as well as the role the language of primordial consciousness plays in adult life in such phenomena as dreaming infant-caregiver attachment creativity belief systems and their effects on social and political life cultural differences and psychosis. Examples include creative persons extreme political figures and psychotic individuals. Five original essays written by the author’s current and former patients describe what they learned about their aberrant uses of language and their origins. This book sheds new light on several controversies that have been limited by the incorrect assumption that reflective representational thought and its language is the only conscious mental state. These include the debate within linguistics about whether language is the expression of a hardwired instinct whose identifying feature is recursion; within psychoanalysis about the nature of conscious and unconscious mental processes and within cognitive philosophy about whether language and thought are isomorphic. Consciousness Language and Self will be of great value to psychoanalysts as well as students and scholars of linguistics cognitive philosophy and cultural anthropology. | Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

The Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) revolutionized warfare at sea on land and in the air. This little-known naval aviation organization introduced and operationalized aircraft carrier strike aerial anti-submarine warfare strategic bombing and the air defence of the British Isles more than 20 years before the outbreak of the Second World War. Traditionally marginalized in a literature dominated by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force the RNAS and its innovative practitioners nevertheless shaped the fundamentals of air power and contributed significantly to the Allied victory in the First World War. The Development of British Naval Aviation utilizes archival documents and newly published research to resurrect the legacy of the RNAS and demonstrate its central role in Britain’s war effort. | The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

The Communication Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) systems provide air traffic controllers with the information necessary to ensure the specified separation between aircraft and efficient management of airspace as well as assistance to flight crew for safe navigation. However the radar systems that support air traffic management (ATM) and in particular air traffic control (ATC) are at their operational limit. This is particularly acute in the provision of the ATC services in low altitude remote and oceanic areas. Limitations in the current surveillance systems include unavailability of services in oceanic and remote areas limited services during extreme weather conditions and outdated equipment with limited availability of spare parts to support system operation. These limitations have resulted in fatal accidents. This book addresses the limitations of radar to support ATC in various operational environments identified and verified by analysing five years of safety data from Avinor the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) in Norway. It derives a set of taxonomy and from this develops a causal model for incident/accident due to limitations in the surveillance system. The taxonomy provides a new method for ANSPs to categorize incidents while the causal model is useful for incident/accident investigations. The book also provides theoretical justifications for the use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) to overcome the limitations of radar systems and identify areas of improvements to enable seamless ATC services. Written in a style that makes it accessible to non-specialists Aircraft Surveillance Systems will be of interest to many in the field of aviation particularly ATM safety and accident/incident investigation. It will also offer a useful reference on this vital topic for air traffic management courses. | Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been less than satisfactory there is a presumption that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be realized at some point. International air and marine travel have been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations and the effects of these specific commercial activities are by their nature difficult to corral and assign to specific national jurisdictions. However air travel is increasing and unless something is done emissions from this segment of our world economy will form a progressively larger percentage of the total especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy terms from the broadest reliable sources of information available for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials and the barriers to change. It also advances some elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than 'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge resource available to academics policy makers air industry leaders and stakeholders and interested members of the public. | Will Sustainability Fly?
