In this book, de Raadt examines concepts of informatics – such as dis-information, noise and uncertainty generated by global interconnectivity – that explain the destabilising effect of information technology on society. These concepts are derived from cybernetics and are pedagogically presented to provide students an understanding of the social and cultural context of information. This should help them apply information technology in subservience to human endeavours rather than the contemporary practise of the reverse....

"...de Raadt has produced a highly readable text which enjoins us to modify the approach that we use to solve our world problems. He should be commended for his effort: it follows in the tradition of famous predecessors such as Stafford Beer and Geoffrey Vickers who have trodden similar territory." (John P. van Gigch)...

The basic hypothesis explored in this paper is that organizational culture and institutional agendas significantly affected the rise and fall of the Twenty-third Air Force. The significance of this research effort is clear considering the 1 October 2003 merger of Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) and AFSOF under the aegis of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). In light of recent events, this study’s ultimate goal is to provide a preview of how culture may affect AFSOC’s endeavors to strengthen CSAR capabilities. By studying the past, this paper looks for glimpses into the future....

Domestic violence

Excerpt Details
Now we move on to discuss the various facets of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. As mentioned earlier, this discussion cannot follow the tracks of wordings of the Act, which at best is only a display of empty pedantry. Before entering into the exact premises of the discussion, there is one more item that needs mention. That is the so-called equality between men and women. It is a theme that is ferociously discussed in many nations. More in nations, where actually there is not much of an ‘equality’ issue. It is like the claims of the Blacks for right to equality with the Whites in English nations, where actually there is not much of a discrimination as that can be conceived of as in nations like India. For in nations like India, such right to equality with any superior class of people, including the rich, government officials, social superiors etc. cannot even be pondered upon, by the lower classes. In Indian feudal languages, it is a very rare occasion for anyone to be equal to anyone else, just like that. More so, the husband with the wife and the wife with the husband. In most Indian vernaculars, the wife ...

Description Details
Bu çalışmada sosyoloji, metodoloji ve felsefeden yararlanılarak sosyolojik olarak düşünmenin tekniği araştırılmaktadır. Amaç, düşünme veya araştırma yapma gibi entelektüel bir çalışma esnasında bilimsel dogmalar, düşünce kalıpları veya diğer metodolojik hatalara düşmeden ya da engellere takılmadan sosyal olayların anlaşılmasını sağlayacak pratik bir düşünme metodu oluşturmaktır. Böylece araştırmacının herhangi bir sosyal olgu hakkındaki bilgisi, sadece başkalarının o konuyla ilgili daha önceki anlayışlarıyla sınırlı kalmayarak olayın hakikatine başka yönleriyle de nüfuz edebilecektir. Çalışmada düşünme ve metodolojinin önemli noktaları birleştirilerek sosyolojik düşünmenin temel çerçevesi kurulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Araştırmadaki teori ve pratik bağını koparmamak için konular mümkün olduğu kadar birlikte ele alınmakta ve uygulama örnekleriyle açıklanmaktadır. Bu amaçla sık kullanılan bazı araştırma tekniklerine de yer verilmiştir. Vurgulanması gereken bir husus da metodolojinin araştırma tekniklerinden çok daha ötede ve en az araştırmanın kendisi kadar önemli olduğudur. Bilimsel bir çalışmada her adımın düşünülerek atılması gerekmekt...

Excerpt Details
Sosyoloji biliminin tahsili, sosyologlara zaman içinde sosyolojik bir düşünme tarzını sağlamakla birlikte, mevcut standartların ötesine geçecek bakış tarzlarını geliştirme mecburiyeti vardır. Öte yandan, sosyal bilimler sahasındaki diğer araştırmacıların kendi disiplinlerindeki çalışmalarına katkı sağlaması bakımından sosyolojik düşünmeyi dikkate almaları gerekmektedir. Sosyolojik düşünebilmenin yararlı olacağı bir başka kesim de sosyal politikalarla uğraşan veya karar verme görevindeki yöneticiler, yetkililer ve siyasilerdir. Doğru kararların alınması sadece mevcut teknik imkanların en uygun kombinasyonunu sağlamakla değil, mevcut olan tüm faktörler karar verme sürecine dahil edilmesiyle gerçekleşmektedir. Özellikle sosyal determinantlar esas faktör olarak değerlendirmeye katılmalıdır. Bir toplumun kendine has şartları ihmal edilerek yapılan faaliyetler hem eksik hem de bilimsellikten uzaktır. Bu nedenle günümüz insanı için mümkün olduğu kadar geniş bir yelpazeyi dikkate alan ve sürekli geliştirilen sosyolojik bir düşünce biçimi sağlanmalıdır....

The book analyzes the relations between the Hungarians and the Romans in the Transylvanian region, showing that the tensions between the two ethnic groups have roots in the past, cultivated for more than 150 years by some people (from secret services, political parties, public institutions) interested in interethnic hatred to facilitate access to power and resources....

Excerpt Details
Until 1848 the Romans and Szeklers lived in peace, and the tensions were the basis of the competition between the churches in the area (Orthodox, Catholic, Reformed). The political events in Europe at that time created a nationalism that has radically changed the relations between the inhabitants of Szeklerland. History has been reinterpreted and updated to justify not only territorial claims but also the obligation to hate the other ethnicity. Today, very few leaders see possible friendship between Hungarians and Romans, and their hateful speeches affect the good relationships existing in many communities....

Postings on Wikipedia Ezhava Page I had done some postings on the Wikipedia Ezhava Talk Page, I did it without much deliberation, first. This first post generated a lot of retorts and reactions. This compelled me to give more answers. There were a lot acrimonious reactions to this. Many of my posts were simply deleted, or vandalised with someone posting obnoxious sentences into it. Moreover, since there was a lot of manipulation going on in my writings, with some of the alterations verging on dangerous provocative themes, I felt that there is need to maintain the integrity of my writings. So I am keeping a parallel copy of my posts in the Wikepedia Ezhava Talk Page here. So that anyone who desires to understand the continuity and logical progression of the themes, can come here and get the full gist.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the literature which discusses new phenomenon associated to social network. One of the well-known phenomenon in this regards is known as ‘six degrees of separation’ [1], which implies that one can always keep a communication with each other anywhere within a six-step. A number of experiments has verified this hypothesis, either in the context of offline communication (postal mail), or online communication (email, etc.). In this article, we argue that by introducing this known ‘six degrees of separation’ into the context of group instability problem, one can find a new type of wisdom in organization. Therefore, we offer a new conjecture, which may be called ‘Group stability conjectures based on Graph/Network distance.”...

Analysis of the percentage of men and women by commissioned years of service in the Air Force indicates that women separate prior to retirement more frequently than men. Having determined that women separate from the Air Force prior to retirement eligibility more often than men, Lt Col Laura DiSilverio wanted to find out why. The first chapter demonstrates why the Air Force needs women. It makes the demographic case and presents research results showing the value of diversity in general and the value of women leaders in particular. The second chapter presents the survey results, analyzes why women separate from the Air Force, and lists the types of programs that might retain them. The final chapter looks at the feasibility of implementing some programs that might help the Air Force retain more of its talented members....
