Performed pamperedness is an act in which one party of a romantic relationship behaves in a child-like manner (pouting, throwing tantrums, engaging in ‘baby talk’) in hopes of attaining benefits from their partner (attention, concern, material […]

The emigration of people across vast distances has undoubtedly fractured the direct relationship between the state and its populations. Yet, some countries have effectively adopted policies that aim to, not only re-establish a kinship foundation with their communities abroad, but to simultaneously encourage contributions back to the kin-state. Relatively new policy research in the field […]

Specifically, I would like to give a phenomenological account for the extensive culture of bracketing factors of production. Why do we tend to bracket the factors of production from our consideration of buying the good? Essentially, bracketing […]

Many architecture and design firms in Calgary have a strong desire to incorporate parametric software (BIM) and digital manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies into their design processes in order to meet evolving client demands, regulatory requirements, and sustainability performance targets. These are necessary criteria that constitute high-quality built environments capable of meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders […]

Wearable body sensors are groundbreaking in that they allow for continuous and unobtrusive physiological measurements. The promise is that someday soon, smartphones will monitor our bodily state and thus prevent all kinds of wellbeing implications: acute physiological issues like stroke or heart attack; less acute but still serious illness, such as chronic illnesses caused by […]
