While exploring the relationship between our shared knowledge and our individual knowledge, we see that there is an influence from both directions. Shared knowledge, in this context, is the knowledge belonging to a particular group of people who may be collaboratively working together, either in a separate ‘space and time’ or different places. On the other hand, personal knowledge can be interpreted as knowledge resulting from the influence of my own individual perspective, which includes…

Quantitative vs. Qualitative research It is always a philosophic question which type of research to choose. The answer to this question depends on the nature of the study, the type of necessary information and the availability of recourses (time, money and participants). It is important to take into account that two types of reaches are just two different philosophies, however, they are not contrary. Moreover, both methods can be used in mixed-methods researches. This type of approach becomes…

Introduction Conceptually, there are two general methodologies to measure frontier efficiency; the parametric approach using econometric techniques, and the non-parametric approach utilising the linear programming method. Both approaches differ mainly in how they handle the random error and the assumptions made on the shape of the efficient frontier. However, each of the techniques has its own strengths and weaknesses. The most widely employed parametric methods are stochastic frontier approach…

4 ANALYSIS OF THE MATERIAL In this chapter I will first use the five different aspects from Peter Low’s Pentathlon Principle to analyze the translations. Thus, firstly I will be analyzing the musical features of the translations; the rhyme, rhythm, naturalness, sense and singability. Lastly, I will analyze the translations according to Johan Franzon’s three aspects of music translation, and I will analyze whether there has been used re-creation, hook-translation or reverent translation in the…

and the rate of people relocating to different places. Although well-known in both educational as well as law-enforcement sectors, the theory of broken windows feature several criticisms. One line of self-deprecation is that there exists minimal scientific proof that dysfunctions, when left unchallenged, leads to the commission of the criminal offense.[1] To verify the concept in its entirety, it ought to be demonstrated that disorder leads to anxiety and that…

Bourdieu’s work focuses a lot of overcoming social dichotomies. For example, Habitus and Field, Body and Mind and Macro and Macro. Habitus and Field are two co-terms which are used to explain the subjective and objective aspects of humanity, (Hardy, 2008, p. 214). We also examine Bourdieu’s three forms of capital. It is important to note that capital is not solely focused on economic capital. We focussed a lot of attention on cultural capital and the three typologies faced within cultural…

change it. When people try to learn how the world came to be, they often go to science to find a way. through science many ideas come up to how the world began, some say it exists by chance, others say it was created by God, but what is it really? Scientific evidence is consistent with the belief that the physical universe was designed by God. Some of this evidence which is consistent with this belief is; the origin of matter, the complexity of DNA, and the concept of irreducible complexity.…

1.1 Why Postcolonialism? It is difficult to say what postcolonialism exactly is. There is no ‘tradition’ per se as there is a philosophical tradition for deconstruction or psychoanalytical theory. In anti-colonial movements and postmodern critique of colonialism as a project of modernity one can find ideas that preceded postcolonial theory. The most important feature of postcolonialism is a shift in the dominant ways in which relations between Western and non-Western people and their worlds were…
