This book provides an optimistic account of the value and role of schooling. Schooling is a common but not universal approach to education and has need of its own distinctive justification, in contrast to other approaches such as home-based or work-based education. The book tackles and rejects the various large-scale 'functional' theories of schooling which continue to dominate current debates and policies, such as schooling supporting employment and the economy, or developing citizenship. Instead, it argues that schooling and schools should be viewed as places to learn community within and through community. The lived reality of relationships within schools, based on care and curiosity, is as strong as ever: and upon this foundation is built an original philosophy of schooling. This reflective book will appeal to students and scholars of philosophy of education and to all professionals concerned with schools.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Solitude, Silence and Loneliness is the first major account integrating research on solitude, silence and loneliness from across academic disciplines and across the lifespan. The editors explore how being alone - in its different forms, positive and negative, as solitude, silence and loneliness - is learned and developed, and how it is experienced in childhood and youth, adulthood and old age. Philosophical, psychological, historical, cultural and religious issues are addressed by distinguished scholars from Europe, North and Latin America, and Asia.

The book presents a thematic analysis of various aspects of solitude, silence and loneliness, from the ancient world to the present day, explored thematically with consideration to the links between aloneness to other social and political issues. The themes include exile (expulsion from a community), ecstasy (getting ‘out of oneself’) and enstasy (being comfortable within oneself), to the Romantic idea of the artist as solitary. There is work on aloneness in and through nature, especially the importance of natural settings for positive experiences of solitude. A central theme is alienation and its emotions, with the idea of loneliness and the rejected self being a more modern experience. Modernism and postmodernism presented new forms of solitude in the twentieth century, and more recently there have been attempts to ‘recover’ the self, through therapeutic uses of the arts. All of these types and experiences of aloneness are seen through the lenses of artistic, literary and musical forms of expression, as aloneness is not only explored and articulated through these art forms, but is in many ways created through these art forms.

The link between schools and religions is an area of lively and passionate debate. In this meticulously researched volume, Julian Stern analyses the role that religion can play in fostering communities in schools and its implications for social, cultural and political developments in both national and international contexts. Drawing heavily on Vygoyskyan social contructivism and Buber's research into human relationships, Stern constructs an innovative and challenging philosophy of schooling which places schools at the heart of two of the main challenges of the twenty-first century - social inclusion and globalisation.

This book brings together world experts in the field of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs) who practice an integrated and holistic approach in their care for patients to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive evaluation of a range of issues associated with the biopsychosocial treatment of FGIDs. Examining topics such as neurological and biological aspects of FGIDs, common concerns faced in relation to diagnosis, and ongoing medical decisions and interventions, each chapter provides crucial practical recommendations, as well as future directions of psychosocial work in multi-team environments. Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders considers individual conditions in detail, including the current Rome IV diagnostic criteria for FGIDs required to make a positive diagnosis, the role of psychological and other biopsychosocial and biofeedback aspects of treatment, and general recommendations with regard to diet and medications. Each chapter also provides an up-to-date consolidation and evaluation of the current literature as well as practical recommendations, which can then be applied by the reader in their own interaction with FGID patients. Topics covered include: the common concerns and issues faced by individuals with FGIDs in relation to pre-and post-diagnosis, ongoing medical decisions and interventions review of current evidence-based biopsychosocial treatment practices for each FGID condition the differences and challenges associated with FGIDs across individual life stages special topics such as the relationship with eating disorders and the role of psychotropic medications modern patient centred initiatives such as patient empowerment, distance and e-therapies the future challenges facing FGID treatment. Throughout the entire book, common themes and practical recommendations are described. Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, has broad applicability across multiple spheres, including treatment, research and teaching and is accessible to those working in gastroenterology and primary care alike.

Felix Julian Stern befasst sich in dieser Arbeit mit der Charakterisierung von Stählen, die mittels pulverbettbasierter Laserfusion gefertigt wurden. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind für additiv gefertigte Werkstoffe prozessbedingte Defekte wie Poren und Anbindungsfehler, die insbesondere unter Ermüdungsbeanspruchung durch ihre Kerbwirkung zu einem vorzeitigen Versagen des Werkstoffs führen. Aus diesem Grund liegt der Fokus der Untersuchungen zu einem Teil auf einer systematischen Herangehensweise zur Charakterisierung des Defekteinflusses auf die Ermüdungseigenschaften, indem Defekte mit definierter Größe, Form und Lage in einen austenitischen Chrom-Nickel-Stahl erzeugt wurden. An diesen Proben erfolgten Ermüdungsversuche, deren Ergebnisse in Kombination mit den Informationen über den künstlich eingebrachten Defekt dazu verwendet werden, zwei bruchmechanische Modelle von Murakami sowie von Shiozawa zur Beschreibung des Ermüdungsverhaltens zu validieren. Im zweiten Teil werden diese Modelle dazu genutzt, den Einfluss des Legierungselements Stickstoff in einem weiteren austenitischen Chrom-Nickel-Stahl zu untersuchen, wobei sowohl das Ermüdungsverhalten an Luft als auch in korrosivem Medium erfolgreich beschrieben wird. Diese Arbeit bietet somit Ansätze zur systematischen Bewertung des Einflusses von Defekten auf additiv gefertigte Werkstoffe und zur Beschreibung des Ermüdungsverhaltens unter korrosiver Beanspruchung.

This book gives a unique insight into spirituality within the school environment and the wide ranging influences it has on all parties involved.Recent interest in personalized learning and the issues raised by Every Child Matters have led to renewed enthusiasm for the more personal and holistic aspects of schooling. This fascinating monograph draws on empirical evidence from schools across the world to answer key questions such as: What is the spirit of the school? How does it differ from school ethos? What can teachers and pupils do to contribute to the spirit of the school?Drawing heavily on research into learning theories (from the social constructivist tradition), community (from the philosophy of John Macmurray) and dialogue (from the philosophy of Martin Buber), Julian Stern's unique and illuminating book will stimulate fresh thinking about spiritual education.

This is a book of conversations with researchers working across Europe, the USA and Africa. It aims to illuminate the lived reality of educational research on a wide variety of topics, including family life in rural South Africa, support for self-harming students in the UK, character development in the USA and Korea, educational leadership in the UK and China, philosophical analysis of education policy, and much more. The book is for and about researchers and is built around a set of conversations with the author - a fellow researcher. Researchers work at the frontiers of our knowledge and understanding of the world, and frontiers can be dangerous places. How are the researchers' personal qualities - virtues such as courage, honesty and kindness - tested and exemplified in their work? The conversations presented here explore the experience of research and ask what qualities are needed, or wished for, in order to successfully face its challenges. There are many books that include lists of what to do and what not to do when carrying out research. Here, in contrast, we find out what really happens and why - and what it takes to keep going.

Wie findet diese Transformation statt? Auf welche Pain Points mussen Banker, IT-Entwickler sowie Behoerden vorbereitet sein? Cordelia Friesendorf und Julian Stern rusten die praxis-orientierten Leser mit dem aktuellsten Knowhow und den notwendigen Tools aus, um die Digitalisierungsprozesse voranzubringen.

This concise, illustrated, work informs about the histories of photography and psychoanalysis. It describes how they came together in the 20th Century to revolutionize political propaganda and sales messages. It references the works of several 20th Century and contemporary photographers including: Edward Steichen, Brian Duffy, Helmut Newton, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nan Goldin, Gregory Crewdson, Larry Clark, and Wang Qingsong. It includes a chapter summarizing and critiquing many of the thoughts of the philosopher and activist Susan Sontag, as well as being completely up-to-date with a Chapter about photographers Cindy Sherman and Miru Kim. The book demonstrates how images may be understood, and interpreted, using the ideas of Freud, Jung and Lacan. Written in simple language this isn't a work about how to make technically 'better' images, but rather a book to help you understand the psychological impact of images. You are introduced to various characters who influenced the development of both photography and psychoanalysis during the 19th and 20th centuries, and you are helped to appreciate the impact they continue to have today. Psychological and photographic concepts are added into the narrative until it becomes possible to look at examples of contemporary advertising images and campaigns using appropriate tools. Later, the text moves to look at the development of art, and domestic photography, including the force that commercial photography places upon these. In a relatively short journey you are guided through psychoanalysis and systems theory, photography, surrealism, advertising and much more. ""This is your chance to understand, and free your mind from, assaults by those images which, every day, make you feel less, and less, happy, unless you buy, buy, buy."" If you sell products, or services, it will help you to create more effective advertisements.
