Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for Aviation Research
by Michael A. Gallo Ulreen O. McKinneyApplied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for Aviation Research describes and illustrates multiple regression/correlation (MRC) analysis in an aviation context, including flight instruction, airport design, airline routes, and aviation human factors research. Structured in four parts, the book first reviews the major concepts of bivariate correlation and regression and then extends the bivariate case to two, four, and k predictors coupled with discussions on statistical inference, underlying assumptions, and regression diagnostics relative to MRC analysis. The book then builds on this foundation by presenting MRC variable selection strategies (simultaneous, hierarchical, and statistical regression), analyzing sets of predictors, and introducing coding strategies for nominal predictors. The book concludes by presenting how MRC can be used to conduct an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), interactions, mediation analysis, and binary logistic regression.Throughout the presentation, the book provides a balance between procedural knowledge as well as conceptual understanding. Detailed guided examples are presented at the end of each chapter that apply the topics and concepts of the chapter from the perspective of conducting a research study. The analytic strategies demonstrated via these guided examples are clearly explained, enabling readers to understand, conduct, and report results correctly. Pedagogical features associated with each chapter include a set of student learning outcomes and an end-of-chapter package that consists of a summary of the chapter’s main topics/concepts, a list of key terms, and review exercises, including multiple-choice items and a research scenario with data for students to analyze.Tailored to the needs of aviation students, Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for Aviation Research is the ideal textbook for research-oriented graduate aviation programs such as a thesis-based master’s degree or doctoral program that require knowledge of advanced statistical strategies for analyzing research data.

Approaching Multiliteracies: Digitally Mediated Second and Foreign Language Teacher Education
by Carolyn BlumeApproaching Multiliteracies: Digitally Mediated Second and Foreign Language Teacher Education provides practical insights into developing the multiliteracies pedagogy competencies for pre-service teachers. It highlights how multiliteracies pedagogy can be not just a goal of teacher education, but also a means to prepare future language teachers for this task.Capitalizing on parallels between multiliteracies pedagogy and current models of second and foreign language teacher education (SFLTE), the chapters in the book illustrate how teacher educators in Europe, Asia, and the United States connect new forms of digitally mediated communication with principles of initial professionalization. Integrating examples from their own practice with empirical analysis, a team of international contributors provide models of instruction that can be adapted for a variety of settings. This edited collection examines a range of methodological approaches, from engaging in identity work to the use of corpora, that cultivate future language teachers’ dispositions and skills in integrating multiliteracies into foreign language classrooms in ways that are contextually situated, critical, and digitally mediated.Primarily designed for individuals involved in language teacher education, the book will also be a key resource for in-service professional development opportunities focusing on contemporary language learning and use, as well as for researchers interested in efficacious models of SFLTE.
Aquinas, Natural Law, and Social Ontology: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
by Ana Marta GonzálezThis volume explores the connections between Thomas Aquinas’ doctrine of natural law and contemporary social thought. It aims to make explicit the basic notions of Thomas Aquinas’ social ontology and to show how key concepts from sociology, economics, and political science relate to his ethics and social thought.Social ontology is a growing area of contemporary social theory. Scholars in this area reflect on the ontological status of society and the various realities that make up the social realm. However, Aquinas scholars rarely use the term social ontology, instead resorting to his natural law to examine social life. This volume argues that the social thought of Thomas Aquinas, including his natural law theory, implies a social ontology. Aquinas adopts a clear position on the ontological uniqueness of human beings, the intentional structure of human action, and the existence of informal social relations and institutional realities that shape human society. This volume shows how these views can be reconstructed into a coherent social ontology. Its chapters are divided into five thematic parts. Part 1 offers conceptual elements to bridge the gap between Aquinas and contemporary social theory. Part 2 considers the metaphysics and theology implicit in Aquinas’ social ontology. Part 3 focuses on the way this ontology is at work in his account of the common good and his approach to natural law. Part 4 expands this reflection to economics. Finally, Part 5 addresses legal and political issues such as political polarization, family law, and the ethics of war.Aquinas, Natural Law, and Social Ontology will appeal to scholars and graduate students interested in the thought of Thomas Aquinas, social and political philosophy, contemporary social theory, Catholic theology, and the social sciences.

Architecture and Architects in Socialist Poland: Between Stalin and Le Corbusier (Routledge Research in Architecture)
by Błażej CiarkowskiThe book presents the history of Polish architecture and architects in the years 1944-1989, focusing on selected issues, including both the development of architecture itself and the conditions of practicing architecture in the socialist country.The history of architecture and architects in socialist Poland is described not only from the perspective of an architectural historian and researcher but also from the perspective of active participants in the events described. The text is based on historical sources and literature, as well as on numerous interviews with architects and urban planners who played an important role in post-war reconstruction, implementation of the socialist-realist doctrine, creation of the most significant buildings and monuments, and development of the local version of socialist modernism or post-modernism. It gives the floor back to those whose voice was hardly heard after the collapse of the socialist system in 1989.The book should become an interesting source of information for those interested in the material culture of former socialist countries. Although it focuses on socialist Poland, it can be used as material for comparative studies of mutual relations between East and West in post-war Europe, as well as for analysis of the situation of architecture and architects in socialist countries.

Are Islamists Still Islamists?: An Ontological-Relational Analysis (Routledge Studies in Global and Transnational Politics)
by Sümeyye SakaryaThis book offers an ontological study of Islamism and its transformation with a specific focus on Türkiye, Bangladesh, and Senegal.The dominant reading of the transformation of Islamism from a discernibly Islamist, then anti-systemic discourse to a more systemic one has been through the arguments of post-Islamism, which claim the failure and end of Islamism. However, this assumes that Islamists are still Islamists, which is an oxymoron. This book suggests that this scholarship fails to recognise the political, ontological nature of Islamism. It argues that under-theorisation of the political, accompanied by Eurocentrism and positivism, hinders a proper understanding of Islamism by engendering methodological nationalism and state-centrism and obstructing Islamists as political actors by denying them political agency to undertake transformation. This shows the need for an ontological analysis to surmount the mentioned problems and comprehend Islamists as political actors by disarticulating any necessary relationship between the political and any fixed entity, such as the state, a specific rhetoric or form. The book, as an exercise in political theory, offers such an analysis, articulated through the tools provided by post-foundationalist political theory, particularly the works of Martin Heidegger, Antonio Gramsci, Hannah Arendt, and Salman Sayyid, who mobilises Carl Schmitt and post-Marxist discourse theory to read Islamism.This book will appeal to scholars and students of Politics, International Relations, Area Studies, and Sociology, especially those specialising in Islam and Islamism.

Art, Politics, and Palace Eunuchs in Ming China, 1368–1644 (Routledge Research in Art History)
by Scarlett JangThis is the first in-depth analysis of the place of the Ming palace eunuchs in the social history of Chinese art, examining the intricate intersections of art, politics, and palace eunuchs in the Ming dynasty.In addition to articulating the elite eunuchs’ roles as important power brokers in the political arena, this monograph offers a balanced view of Ming eunuchs, with evidence of their accomplishments as book authors, editors, and compilers, poets, calligraphers, and art collectors, the Confucian scholars’ typical literati pursuits. By exploring both the positive and negative roles that palace eunuchs played in the Ming’s visual culture, this book reveals that Ming palace eunuchs, as supervisors of both the imperial art collection and the imperial art academy, and as powerful art collectors themselves, made various significant impacts on the contemporary art criticism, art market, and art-collecting patterns.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Sinology, and Chinese studies.
Artefacts of Encounter: Materialising Emotions in Fifty Early Modern Representations
by Karen O'BrienThis book presents corresponding images and essays of fifty early modern artefacts of encounters between European explorers and indigenous peoples, addressing relationships and material exchanges that extend beyond this framework to encompass diverse interactions across early modern societies.The artefacts selected for inclusion in this volume convey early modern visual dialogues, value systems and imagery through paintings, photographs, maps, drawings, buildings, books, icons, sacred sites and entities, dwellings and natural settings. Placing these objects within a comparative and international context, O’Brien considers the representation of these interactions as they are expressed through a wide gamut of human emotional experiences such as life, death, grief, pain, pleasure, belief, sadness and conflict, along with the extended perspective of image reproduction. In doing so, the book locates the realities of early modern existence – the emotional, legal, spiritual and violent encounters that encompass everyday experiences – in an expansive and varying spatial, cultural, geographical and temporal context. The book will interest students, scholars and general readers within a broad range of history subdisciplines including early modern history, indigenous history, comparative history and socio-legal history, and is also a useful text for undergraduate courses in politics, law, indigenous studies and global studies.
