Notion Of Transfer Research Articles

The Passive and the Notion of Transitivity

The purpose of this article is to show that passivization can be better accounted for when the phenomenon of transitivity, on which it is based, is defined on semantic grounds. The notion of transfer from the subject to the object through the verb, which corresponds to the main semantic component of transitivity, is what makes passivization possible, not necessarily the presence of an object complement of the verb in the active. It appears that the notion of object, which is the main syntactic parameter on which the notion of transitivity is founded, covers very different situations and cannot serve as a reliable tool to describe the phenomenon of passivization. It is only when the transitivity notion is envisaged through a semantic angle that passivization can be accounted for in more homogeneous terms.

Moving beyond the metaphor of transfer of learning

This paper argues that much contemporary educational policy makes assumptions about learning that are directly contradicted by the best research and theorising of learning that has occurred over the last decade and more. This worrying mismatch is largely attributable to adherence by policy makers (and other key stakeholders such as employers), to ‘common sense’ notions of learning transfer. In fact, these ‘common sense’ notions of transfer have increasingly been discarded even in the learning transfer literature. However, we go further in arguing that transfer is a totally inappropriate metaphor for thinking about most learning, but especially for vocational learning. Accepting that thought about learning inevitably involves metaphors, we consider the merits and otherwise of various other learning metaphors including participation and construction. We conclude that the conceptual flaws of transfer can be avoided by employing alternative metaphors. The value of our recommended alternative is illustrated by its power to illuminate data on learning collected from various research projects.

Queering America: Joy Harjo’s Vision of Radical Contingency

Joan Burbick reads Jay Harjo from a queering as well as post-colonial perspective, analyzing the way in which normative discourses of social cohesion are questioned and re-formulated from the vantage point of Native American categories such as the berdache. Harjo's vision promotes radical contingency and a seemingly spiritual notion of transference.

Le groupe ${\bf GL}_{N}$ tordu, sur un corps $p$-adique, 1ère partie

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero, and let $N$ be an even integer at least $2$. Consider the following algebraic groups, both defined and split over $F$: ${\bf G}={\bf GL}_{N}$ and ${\bf H}={\bf SO}(N+1)$. Let ${\bf G}^+={\bf G}\rtimes \{1,\theta\}$, where $\theta^2=1$ and $\theta$ act on ${\bf G}$ as the nontrivial outer automorphism. It is a nonconnected group. Let $\tilde{{\bf G}}={\bf G}\theta$ be the connected component that contains $\theta$. The group ${\bf H}$ is an endoscopic group of ${\bf G}^+$. A conjecture predicts that to every $L$-packet $\Pi^H$ of admissible, irreducible, and tempered representations of ${\bf H}(F)$, we can associate an admissible and irreducible representation $\pi^+$ of ${\bf G}^+(F)$, so that the restriction to $\tilde{{\bf G}}(F)$ of the character of $\pi^+$ is an endoscopic transfer of the character of $\Pi^H$ (i.e., the sum of the characters of the representations belonging to $\Pi^H$). This notion of transfer is equivalent to simple equalities between characters of $\pi^+$ and $\Pi^H$. In the second part of this article, we give the construction that associates $\pi^+$ to $\Pi^H$, and we prove the equalities between their characters. We consider only $L$-packets of discrete series representations of “unipotent reduction.” (This property includes representations that contain nonzero vectors invariant by an Iwahori subgroup.) Our result is conditional: we suppose a fundamental lemma for our pair $({\bf G}^+,{\bf H})$. In the first part, we generalize for the group ${\bf G}^+$ certain results of harmonic analysis which are well known for connected groups. We also prove that the fundamental lemma for $({\bf G}^+,{\bf H})$ implies a “nonstandard” fundamental lemma relying on the Lie algebras of the groups ${\bf SO}(N+1)$ and ${\bf Sp}(N)$.

Transference in the nurse–patient relationship

The therapeutic relationship has been considered foundational to psychiatric nursing practice since at least the mid-20th century. However, this does not, in itself, guarantee either its continuity or relevance to current practice. Concepts such as the therapeutic relationship require sustained attention, both in theory and in practice, to illustrate ongoing relevance to the discipline. This paper addresses the therapeutic relationship in psychiatric nursing via aspects of psychoanalytic theory, particularly the notion of transference, as theorized by both Freud and Lacan. Two case fragments provide practice material, through which transference in the nurse-patient relationship is explored. The nurse, in the context of his/her relationship with the patient, a sick stranger, offers both a listening and the potential development of transference. This transference can be experienced, in part, as a form of attachment to the nurse, one that is not regarded pejoratively as dependency. There is the potential, within the nurse-patient relationship, for a psychical holding to develop, one from within which both the patient can speak and transference might arise. It is argued that listening to the patient has the potential to assist the patient and, with the development of transference, can provide the context for important work.

The Provisions on Gift in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

AbstractThe author offers a critical examination of the provisions on gift in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Focusing narrowly on the text of the code, the paper starts with a broad overview of, and commentary on, the provisions and then provides a detailed article-by-article commentary on individual provisions. Potential difficulties are identified (especially with respect to the notion of transfer, the repetition of articles, and the code's development of the concept of fiducia) and suggestions are offered for how the text might be clarified or, in certain cases, substantively changed. The author observes that the legal framework provided by the Russian code to regulate gift is a fundamentally sound one that broadly echoes the approach taken in other civil law jurisdictions.

Teaching Counseling Students to Understand and Use Immediacy

The authors examine the counseling skill of immediacy, emphasizing its importance in counselor education. Ways of addressing and teaching the skill are proposed, with an emphasis on a “gentle approach” to reduce risks associated with applying the skill and to minimize students' resistance to applying it. Examples are provided of narratives that model immediacy throughout the counseling process.

Transfer of Unitary Representations

Introduction. This paper has as its primary purpose a clear exposition of the idea in [21] which we describe as transfer between real forms of a semi-simple Lie group over C. The basic point is that there are representations of one real form that can be more easily understood in the context of another real from. An interesting example is a minimal representation (that is annihilated by the Joseph ideal) of a split group over R. In the case when the complexification admits a Hermitian symmetric real form, minimal representations of that real form are part of the “analytic continuation of the holomorphic discrete series” (cf. [5]). For example, in the case of SO(4, 4) or split E7 one can “transfer” the holomorphic minimal representations of SO(6, 2) and Hermitian symmetric E7 respectively. If there is no Hermitian symmetric real form then since there is always a quaternionic real form one can do a similar transfer. We feel that this exposition is necssary since the original discussion had many misprints which could be confusing and also lacked, in some cases, proper reference to earlier related work. The secondary purpose is to give some new examples of its applicability. These examples give more evidence of ap ossible deep connection between the notion of transfer and Howe’s theory of dual pairs. We will now give a description of the paper. Let GC be a connected, simply connected semi-simple Lie group over C .L etG and

Transfer as the Productive Use of Acquired Knowledge, Skills, and Motivations

Historically, the notion of transfer has been very controversial, conceptually as well as empirically. Therefore, there is an obvious need for further inquiry aimed at a better understanding of the processes underlying transfer. Taking into account the recent literature, this article defines transfer as the broad, productive, and supported use of acquired knowledge, skills, and motivations in new contexts and learning tasks. As an illustration, an intervention study is briefly discussed. This study shows the possibility of designing a powerful learning environment that yields transfer effects in accordance with this reconceptualized perspective on transfer.

Cross-linguistic influence, input and the young bilingual child

The field of bilingual first language acquisition has focused on several important and interrelated issues: whether or not the young child acquiring two languages simultaneously differentiates his or her two languages from the onset of acquisition, what role the input plays in the acquisition of two languages, and whether the path of acquisition is similar to that of monolingual peers (see De Houwer, 1990). As a member of the DUFDE team, Natascha Müller has in previous work argued forcefully and convincingly for the bilingual child's separate development of his or her two languages, and hence how language-acquiring bilinguals behave like monolinguals. In her keynote article, Müller invokes the notion of transfer, a well-known term from research into second language acquisition, and proposes to consider transfer from the perspective of the input to which the young bilingual child is exposed. When this input is ambiguous, so that is there is variation in the input regarding one of the languages, the child will resort to transfer from the other language as a so-called relief strategy. In the following, I address the issue of cross-linguistic influence in language development and highlight the implications Müller's proposals may have for the field of bilingual first language acquisition. In conclusion I will relate these issues to the complexity of the notion of input in early bilingualism.

COMMONSENSE ASPECTS OF BUYING AND SELLING

We describe an experimental approach toward implementing a commonsense "microtheory" for buying and selling. Our prototype system characterizes how intelligent agents hold items and money, how they buy and sell items, and the way money and items are transferred. The ontology of the system includes money cash, check, credit card, agents people, organizations, items movable, real estate, service, barter, and the notions of transfer, loan, buying by installments, profit, and loss.

An existential‐phenomenological counter‐theory of transference

Abstract The hypothesis of transference has become such a fundamental assumption for many therapeutic practitioners, that it is rarely questioned either in terms of its theoretical value or its function. This paper will critically examine the notion of transference from an existential‐phenomenological perspective and will argue the case for an alternative perspective. Further, it will seek to demonstrate that numerous and significant logical and applied problems arise with regard to the hypothesis of transference—problems which have a major negative impact upon the therapeutic relationship in general and upon the possibility of ‘encounter‘—or ‘meeting‘—between therapist and client. Finally, the paper will seek to show how, in many cases, the adoption of the hypothesis of transference can be seen as a defensive and power‐preserving (or enhancing) activity on the part of the therapist whose benefit to the client is, at best, questionable.

Transfer sciences: management of distributed knowledge production

This paper is concerned to develop the notion of transfer science to take account of what is perceived to be the emergence of a new mode of knowledge production. The new mode which is characterised by the production of knowledge in the context of application, by transdisciplinarity, by homogeneity and organisational diversity, by enhanced social accountability and reflexivity, and by new forms of quality control. The thrust of the new mode of knowledge production is to call into question conventional notions of knowledge transfer and focuses instead on the organisational and managerial implications of the emergence of a socially distributed knowledge production system. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the policy implications of the emergence of the new mode of production. Needed in the new mode are science and technology policies which promote institutional permeability and policies which enable governments, acting through their civil service to act as “brokers” in the new knowledge production process. Such brokerage is necessary to enhance permeability between institutions within a particular country but also to increase co-operation and collaboration between institutions across countries.

Some Open University students’ experience of transfer

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Additional informationNotes on contributorsPat RickwoodThis article by Pat Rickwood, Senior Counsellor in the West Midlands Region of the Open University UK, is based on a study of a group of OU students who chose to continue their studies elsewhere. The notion of transfer is shown to be ambiguous, possessing different aspects which are not easily reconciled. Leaving the OU often allowed for a quicker progress to a more specialised degree, but it also meant giving up a very efficient system which delivered well‐supported, high quality learning. Many of the transferees were to varying extents disappointed by their campus experience as full‐time students.

Analysis of Transference in Gestalt Group Psychotherapy

In Gestalt therapy, transference is viewed as a contact boundary disturbance which impairs the patient's ability to accurately perceive the present therapy situation. The boundary disturbances in Gestalt therapy most closely related to the analytic notion of transference are projection, introjection, and confluence. In Gestalt group psychotherapy, group members interfere with the process of need identification and satisfaction by distorting their contact with each other through projecting, introjecting, and being confluent. The Gestalt group therapist uses interventions directed to individuals and to the group to increase participants' awareness of these boundary disturbances and of the present contact opportunities available to them when these disturbances are resolved. In formulating interventions, the leader is mindful of the function of boundary disturbances to the group-as-a-whole as well as to individuals.

Orbital Integrals on Forms of SL(3), II

In the paper [6] we described in a precise fashion the notion of transfer of orbital integrals from a reductive group over a local field to an endoscopic group. We did not, however, prove the existence of the transfer. This remains, indeed, an unsolved problem, although in [7] we have reduced it to a local problem at the identity.In the present paper we solve this local problem for two special cases, the group SL(3), which is not so interesting, and the group SU(3), and then conclude that transfer exists for any group of type A2.The methods are those of [4], and are based on techniques of Igusa for the study of the asymptotic behavior of integrals on p-adic manifolds. (As observed in [7], the existence of the transfer over archimedean fields is a result of earlier work by Shelstad.)

Organizational Identity

Organizational identity offers a theory and practice for analyzing the intersubjective meaning of organizational behavior. It advances an explanation of individual feelings about organizations rooted in infancy, what Winnicott (1965) calls a "holding environment," and an explanation of interpersonal relationships in adulthood but with origins in infancy and childhood, what Kohut (1977; 1984) calls "selfobject transferences. "It further presents the notion of transference of emotions in hierarchical organizations as an instrument for observing and explaining key interpersonal relationships between organizational super ordinates and subordinates, and between organizational analysts and clients. Knowing organizational identity provides an understanding of unconscious motivations governing the behavior of organizational members.

Comparative party Finance: Notes on Practices and Toward a Theory

A DVANCES TOWARD the more genuinely comparative study of po1 litical finance processes require on the one hand greater amounts of data and information, and on the other unifying concepts which will help relate structures peculiar to various systems in terms of realistically conceived common denominators. This symposium contains valuable contributions on both counts. While concerned primarily with their assigned task of describing the political finance processes of one country, many authors are also extremely suggestive by reason of the techniques of aggregation and analysis which they employ. The purpose of this article is also two-fold: to attempt an initial comparative evaluation of data and interpretation presented here and elsewhere, and to explore the more theoretical problems of method. Since the question of what concepts might be applicable to the comparative study of political finance is so significant, the attempt is made to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of several potential approaches by ordering the material with reference to them. Three key concepts which seem promising in this respect are: firstly-some simplified form of input-output analysis centering on parties as instruments of electoral competition; secondly-a framework of analysis based on the notion of transfer, and especially on the roles assumed in the process of transferring political support; and thirdly-developmental models which reflect significant changes in the reciprocal relationships of electorates and parties in different phases of industrializing societies1
