Haribhadra (8th century CE) was one of the leading proponents of anekāntavāda. He was the first classical author to write a doxography, a compendium of a variety of intellectual views. This attempted to contextualise Jain thoughts within the broad framework. It interacted with the many possible intellectual orientation... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxography |
Islamic doxography is an aggregate of theosophical works (like Kitab al-Maqalat by Abu Mansur Al Maturidi) concerning the aberrations in Islamic sects and streams. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxography |
Correspondent inference theory is a psychological theory proposed by Edward E. Jones and Keith E. Davis (1965) that "systematically accounts for a perceiver's inferences about what an actor was trying to achieve by a particular action". The purpose of this theory is to explain why people make internal or external attri... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
The consequences of a chosen action must be compared with the consequences of possible alternative actions. The fewer effects the possible choices have in common, the more confident one can be in inferring a correspondent disposition. Or, put another way, the more distinctive the consequences of a choice, the more conf... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
They choose UCL rather than the LSE. What can the social perceiver learn from this? First, there are a lot of common effects – urban environment, same distance from home, same exam system, similar academic reputation, etc. These common effects do not provide the perceiver with any clues about their motivation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
But if the perceiver believes that UCL has better sports facilities, or easier access to the University Library, then these non-common or unique effects which can provide a clue to their motivation. But, suppose they had short-listed UCL and University of Essex and they choose UCL. Now the perceiver is faced with a num... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
People usually intend socially desirable outcomes, hence socially desirable outcomes are not informative about a person's intention or disposition. The most that someone can infer is that the person is normal – which is not saying anything very much. But socially undesirable actions are more informative about intention... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
If, on the other hand, the friend refused to lend them the money (a socially undesirable action), the perceiver might well feel that their friend is rather stingy, or even miserly. In fact, social desirability – although an important influence on behaviour – is really only a special case of the more general principle t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
Only behaviours that disconfirm expectancies are truly informative about an actor. There are two types of expectancy. Category-based expectancies are those derived from our knowledge about particular types or groups of people. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
For example, if an individual were surprised to hear a wealthy businessman extolling the virtues of socialism, their surprise would rest on the expectation that businessmen (a category of people) are not usually socialist. Target-based expectancies derive from knowledge about a particular person. To know that a person ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
Another factor in inferring a disposition from an action is whether the behaviour of the actor is constrained by situational forces or whether it occurs from the actor's choice. If a student were assigned to argue a position in a classroom debate (e.g. for or against Neoliberalism), it would be unwise of their audience... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
Hedonic relevance (also known as hedonistic relevance) is the tendency to attribute a behavior to the dispositional factor rather than the situational factor if the other person’s behavior appears to be directly intended to benefit or harm us. For example, Ali studied hard but still failed his maths test. His mother at... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
We tend to 'take it personally', when someone accidentally did something that can negatively impact us, we tend to think that the behaviour was personal and intended, although it was in fact just an accident. For example, when we had a group study, Ali spilled his coffee on Abu's papers. Abu thought that Ali did it on ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondent_inference_theory |
Rural crafts refers to the traditional crafts production that is carried on, simply for everyday practical use, in the agricultural countryside. Once widespread and commonplace, the survival of some rural crafts is threatened.Rural crafts are not considered part of arts and crafts, as they are produced for a practical ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_crafts |
Examples of goods and activities produced by rural crafts would be: Rural crafts will tend to vary in their styles from place to place, and will thus often contribute strongly to a sense of place. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_crafts |
Offering training courses in, and demonstrations of, rural crafts is now becoming a viable job in some parts of the British Isles. Rural crafts are distinguished from the "rustic" handicraft goods often seen in rural gift shops, such as at country stores. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_crafts |
Ecological release refers to a population increase or population explosion that occurs when a species is freed from limiting factors in its environment. Sometimes this may occur when a plant or animal species is introduced, for example, to an island or to a new territory or environment other than its native habitat. Wh... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_release |
Classical examples of this latter dynamics include population explosions of sea urchins in California's offshore kelp beds, for example, when human hunters began to kill too many sea otters, and/or sudden population explosions of jackrabbits if hunters or ranchers kill too many coyotes. The foreign species either flour... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_release |
The term ecological release first appeared in the scientific literature in 1972 in the American Zoologist journal discussing the effects of the introduction of a sea snail on an isolated ecosystem, Easter Island. One of the first studies that linked niche shifts to the presence and absence of competitors was by Lack an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_release |
Invasive species are an excellent example of successful ecological release because low levels of biodiversity, an abundance of resources, and particular life history traits allow their numbers to increase dramatically. Additionally, there are few predators for these species. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_release |
When a keystone species, such as a top predator, is removed from a community or ecosystem, a cascade effect can occur through which a series of secondary extinctions take place. Keystone predators are responsible for the control of prey densities, and their removal can result in an increase in one or a number of predat... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_release |
Ecological release by human means, intentional or unintentional, has had drastic effects on ecosystems worldwide. The most extreme examples of invasive species include: cane toads in Australia, kudzu in the Southeast United States, or beavers in Tierra Del Fuego. But ecological release can also be more subtle, less dra... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_release |
The musculus uvulae (also muscle of uvula, uvular muscle, or palatouvularis muscle) is a bilaterally muscle of the soft palate (one of five such muscles) that acts to shorten the uvula when both muscles contract. It forms most of the mass of the uvula. It is innervated by the pharyngeal plexus of vagus nerve (cranial n... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
The muscle is situated in between the two laminae of the palatine aponeurosis. From its origin, it passes posterior-ward superior to the swing that is formed by the levator veli palatini muscle. The musculus uvulae and levator veli palatini muscle form a right angle so that their contraction elevates the levator eminen... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
The muscle arises from the posterior nasal spine of the palatine bone, and the (superior aspect of the) palatine aponeurosis. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
The muscle inserts into the mucous membrane of the uvula. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
The muscle receives arterial blood from the ascending palatine artery, and the descending palatine artery. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
Bilateral contraction of the two muscles shortens the uvula. It also elevates and retracts the uvula. Unilateral contraction draws the uvula ipsilaterally. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
By retracting the uvula and thickening the middle portion of the soft palate, the muscle assist the levator veli palatini in separating the oral cavity and the oropharynx. == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculus_uvulae |
Gross metropolitan product (GMP) is a monetary measure of the value of all final goods and services produced within a metropolitan statistical area during a specified period (e.g., a quarter, a year). GMP estimates are commonly used to compare the relative economic performance among such areas. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_metropolitan_product |
GMP is calculated annually by the Eurostat. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_metropolitan_product |
GMP is calculated annually by the Bureau of Economic Analysis within the United States Department of Commerce.

Compassion is thus re... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion |
Theoretical perspectives show contrasts in their approaches to compassion. Compassion is simply a variation of love or sadness, not a distinct emotion. From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, compassion can be viewed as a distinct emotional state, which can be differentiated from distress, sadness, and love. C... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion |
This perspective of compassion is based on the finding that people sometimes emulate and feel the emotions of people around them.

It is, in a sense, an automatic mirroring of another's emotion, like tearing up at a friend's sadness. Altruism is an action that benefits someone else. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion |
It may or may not be accompanied by empathy or compassion, for example in the case of making a donation for tax purposes. Although these terms are related to compassion, they are not identical. Compassion often does, of course, involve an empathic response and altruistic behavior. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion |
However, compassion is defined as the emotional response when perceiving suffering and involves an authentic desire to help. "The more a person knows about the human condition and human experiences, the more vivid the route to identification with suffering becomes. Identifying with another person is an essential proces... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion |

The Kafkania pebble is a small rounded river pebble about 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long, with marks resembling Linear B and a double axe inscribed on it. It was found in Kafkania, some 7 km (4.3 mi) north of Olympia, on 1 April 1994 in a 17th-century BC archaeological context. If it were genuine, it would be the earliest... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafkania_pebble |
The pebble bears a short inscription of eight signs apparently from the Linear B syllabary, possibly reading a-so-na / qo-ro-qa / qa-jo. The reverse side shows a double-axe symbol. The inscription is identified by some to be in Mycenean Greek, but that identification remains disputed. It has been suggested that such an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafkania_pebble |
Owens suggests that the inscription is Minoan in origin rather than Mycenaean. Then, a Minoan could have written the text for a Mycenaean. No evidence exists that the Mycenaean Greeks wrote before the Linear B archive of Knossos. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafkania_pebble |
Several specialists in Mycenaean epigraphy have expressed serious doubts about the authenticity of the inscription; indications that it is a modern forgery include: Inscriptions on pebbles are otherwise unknown in Mycenaean and Minoan epigraphy. The "rays" surrounding the axe have no parallels in Mycenaean or Minoan ic... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafkania_pebble |
Its context, imbedded in a wall, is peculiar and unprecedented. Linear B is otherwise consistently written left-to-right, but the inscription is apparently written in boustrophedon. The writing style appears anachronistic. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafkania_pebble |
