I am proposing that we remove this qualification and allow for indefinite interface admin status. I think this is useful because there are reasons for tweaking the site CSS or JavaScript (e.g. to comply with dark mode), add gadgets (e.g. importing Cat-a-Lot, which I would like to do), or otherwise modifying the site that could plausibly come up on an irregular basis and requiring the overhead of a bureaucrat to add the user rights is inefficient. In particular, I am also going to request this right if the community accepts indefinite interface admins. Thoughts? —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 23:23, 17 August 2025 (UTC) :And who will then monitor them to make sure they don't damage the project in any way, or abuse the rights acquired in this way?

However, note on the current policy discussion page notes from @[[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] arguing for shorter periods to lower risk, that's why it is 2 weeks.

I do not believe including a small note/reference that a page is AI-generated is sufficient, and I take my thinking from [[WV:Original research|Wikiversity's OR policy]] for OR work: ''Within Wikiversity, all original research should be clearly identified as such''. I believe resources created from AI should also be clearly indicated as such, especially since we are working on whether or not AI-generated resources should be allowed on the website (discussion is [[Wikiversity talk:Artificial intelligence|here]], for reference). This makes it easier for organizational purposes, and in the event ''if'' we ban AI-generated work. I've left a message on Lee's talk page over a week ago and did not get a response or acknowledgement, so I'd like for the community's input for this inclusion to the policy. —[[User:Atcovi|Atcovi]] [[User talk:Atcovi|(Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Atcovi|Contribs)]] 15:53, 26 January 2026 (UTC) :I believe that existing Wikiversity policies are sufficient.

This is useful, especially considering the notable issues with AI (including hallucinations and fabrication of details), so viewers and support staff are aware.

The new banner is unduly large and alarming. There is no need for alarm here. The use of AI is not harmful per se. Like any technology, it can be used to help or to harm. I take care to craft prompts carefully, point the LMM to reliable source materials, and to carefully read and verify the generated text before I publish it. This is all in keeping with long-established Wikiversity policy. We don't want to use a  [[w:One-drop_rule|one-drop rule]] here or cause a [[w:Satanic_panic|satanic panic]]. We can learn our lessons from history here. I don't see any pedagogical reason for establishing a classification of "AI generated", but if there is a consensus that it is needed, perhaps it can be handled as just another category that learning resources can be assigned to.

[[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 19:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :Wikiversity's biggest issue in recent times was the hosting of low-quality, trash content. Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!). Besides, Wikinews hosted a lot of short-term content (the nature of news articles), while Wikiversity hosts content that can still be useful a decade later (ex, [[A Reader's Guide to Annotation]]). :I think we are on a better path than we were a few months ago, and I do want to thank everyone here who has been helping out with maintaining our website! —[[User:Atcovi|Atcovi]] [[User talk:Atcovi|(Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Atcovi|Contribs)]] 20:48, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :For what it's worth, the group that did that study has since disbanded, so no one is monitoring the other sister projects in the same way.

Your questions are still worth addressing, but I just wanted to cut off any concern at the pass about Wikiversity being in the same precarious situation.

'''The Change:'''<br /> Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].

'''What You Need To Do:'''<br /> To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search. '''Deadline:'''<br /> We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''.

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink.

This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

I do not believe including a small note/reference that a page is AI-generated is sufficient, and I take my thinking from [[WV:Original research|Wikiversity's OR policy]] for OR work: ''Within Wikiversity, all original research should be clearly identified as such''. I believe resources created from AI should also be clearly indicated as such, especially since we are working on whether or not AI-generated resources should be allowed on the website (discussion is [[Wikiversity talk:Artificial intelligence|here]], for reference). This makes it easier for organizational purposes, and in the event ''if'' we ban AI-generated work.

And I would be interested to see how Wikiversity is doing in the monitored metrics. We probably have more editors than Wikinews had, but what about consumers and achieving the goals? [[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 19:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :Wikiversity's biggest issue in recent times was the hosting of low-quality, trash content. Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!). Besides, Wikinews hosted a lot of short-term content (the nature of news articles), while Wikiversity hosts content that can still be useful a decade later (ex, [[A Reader's Guide to Annotation]]). :I think we are on a better path than we were a few months ago, and I do want to thank everyone here who has been helping out with maintaining our website! —[[User:Atcovi|Atcovi]] [[User talk:Atcovi|(Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Atcovi|Contribs)]] 20:48, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :For what it's worth, the group that did that study has since disbanded, so no one is monitoring the other sister projects in the same way. Additionally, Wikinews had some catastrophic server issues due to the maintenance of [[:m:Extension:DynamicPageList]] which don't apply here. Your questions are still worth addressing, but I just wanted to cut off any concern at the pass about Wikiversity being in the same precarious situation. Wikiversity is definitely the biggest "lagging behind" or "failure" project now that Wikinews is being shuttered, but I don't see any near- or medium-term pathway to closing Wikiversity. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 00:46, 2 April 2026 (UTC) :[[w:en:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2026-03-31/News and notes|Entirety of Wikinews to be shut down]] (Wikipedia Signpost) -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 02:03, 11 April 2026 (UTC) == Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) == Hello everyone, This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>). '''The Change:'''<br /> Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]].

'''What You Need To Do:'''<br /> To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search. '''Deadline:'''<br /> We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''.

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

I concluded that since I've not yet developed a methodology that adheres to "Do no harm" and this is my first time working my "idea" into a way that is compatible with how projects develop on English Wikiversity this is new to me. My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique. I don't want to raise attention that I'm unsure whether I'll actually be capable of developing a methodology for but project notes is my best bet so far in tracking my progress.

After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

The recent issue of [[User:Lbeaumont|Lbeaumont]]'s 50+ articles that contain significantly large AI-generated material has made me came to the Colloquium. This user has also been removing the [[Template:AI-generated]] template from their pages, calling it "misleading", "alarmist", and "pejorative" - which is all just simply nonsensical rationales. Not to even mention this user's contributions to the English Wikipedia have been [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Inner_Development_Goals contested] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Multipolar_trap removed] a couple of times (for being low-quality and clearly LLM-generated), highlighting the need for an actual policy to be implemented here on Wikiversity. I would like to ping {{ping|Juandev}} and {{ping|Jtneill}} for their thoughts as well, since I'd like this to be implemented as soon as possible. Wikiversity has a significant issue with implementing anti-disruptive measures, hence why we have received numerous complaints as a community about our quality.

[[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 19:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :Wikiversity's biggest issue in recent times was the hosting of low-quality, trash content. Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!).

Your questions are still worth addressing, but I just wanted to cut off any concern at the pass about Wikiversity being in the same precarious situation.

My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink.

Maybe, I would advice you having a central place for developping your ideas, your needs, your advances, maybe a page in your own user zone, and from time to time, depending your feeling, it could be every trimester or so, or more frequently, you could write a short account of progress (or even of no progress), or a call for participation, in such a place as this present one ; I think that will increase much exposure of your projet.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

The goal of this plan is to ensure that the business can continue operating smoothly even during emergencies. === Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) === ==== 1. Backup Schedule ==== * Customer and transaction data must be backed up every hour. * A full system backup must be performed every day at 12:00 midnight. * Backup files must be stored in cloud storage and an external hard drive. '''Purpose:''' This prevents the loss of important customer and business information during system failures. ==== 2. Security Check ==== * All employees must use strong passwords with letters, numbers, and symbols. * Two-factor authentication must be enabled for all admin accounts. * The system must be checked weekly for viruses and suspicious activities. * Customer information must remain confidential and protected. '''Purpose:''' This helps prevent hacking, data theft, and unauthorized access. ==== 3. System Maintenance ==== * The website and application must be checked every morning before operations begin. * Software updates must be installed immediately after testing. * Broken links, payment errors, and loading problems must be fixed immediately. '''Purpose:''' Regular maintenance keeps the system fast, stable, and reliable. ==== 4. Emergency Response Plan ==== # Inform the IT Team immediately. # Switch to backup servers within 10 minutes. # Post announcements on social media to inform customers. # Recover lost data using backup files. # Document the problem and solution in the maintenance log. '''Purpose:''' This minimizes company losses and restores operations quickly. ==== 5. Emergency Contact List ==== * Operations Manager – 09123456789 * IT Support Team – 09987654321 * Security Officer – 09771234567 === Audit Trail / Change Log === * Added backup schedule for customer data. * Updated security procedures for admin accounts. * Improved emergency response steps for faster recovery. === Conclusion === A proper Business Maintenance Plan helps the company avoid major losses, protect customer data, and maintain smooth business operations. Through regular maintenance, proper documentation, and emergency planning, the business can continue operating successfully even during unexpected situations. bmhei572968bm0sislb6hikx7onctw9 Discrete mathematics 0 8704 2807951 2668146 2026-05-08T17:24:11Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807951 wikitext text/x-wiki {{maths}} {{experimental}} {{10%done}} {{tertiary}} {{Wikipedia}} {{Wikibooks|Discrete Mathematics}} <div style="border:double; background-color:#F0FFF0; {{Text default color}}; display:block; padding: 1em; width: 75%;"> <big>'''Welcome to the Main Page of Discrete Mathematics!'''</big> ---- These are the main topics we are going over in the course: * [[Logic]] * [[Set theory]] </div> Welcome to the Topic of Discrete Mathematics, a department of the [[School:Mathematics|School of Mathematics]] and [[School:Computer Science|School of Computer Science]]. Discrete mathematics is very important for studying computer science. == Why Learn Discrete Mathematics? == While many of the topics within Discrete Mathematics have been around for a long time, traditional education typically focused on Continuous Mathematics, such as calculus. With the widespread adoption of computers, the usefulness of discrete mathematics has dramatically increased. From basic logic in circuits, to number theory and cryptography, computer science inevitably relies upon discrete mathematics. '''Learning discrete mathematics will...''' * Develop your critical thinking and formal reasoning skills. * Provide a foundation for learning computer science. * Develop your programming abilities (regardless of whether you have programmed before). * Familiarize you with the many different branches of mathematics. * Help you to "read mathematics." ==Homework== To come. ==Complete List of Subjects== Discrete Mathematics is a broad subject encompassing several formal systems for dealing with discrete quantities. If you are studying Discrete Mathematics as part of a related field, you may wish to follow a streamlined set of core topics that you need. A complete list of Discrete Mathematics topics is given below. * [[Algorithmics]] * [[Collections]] * [[Combinatorics|Combinatorics]] * [[Complexity]] * [[Computability]] * [[Counting]] * [[Digital geometry]] * [[Digital topology]] * [[C Source Code/Functions|Functions]] * [[Portal:Graph theory|Graph theory]] * [[Information theory|Information theory]] * [[Linear algebra|Linear algebra]] * [[Markov chains]] * [[Number theory]] * [[Partially Ordered Sets]] * [[Probability]] * [[Proofs]] * [[Relations]] == Notable Textbooks == * ''Discrete Mathematics With Applications'' by [[wikipedia:Susanna_S._Epp|Susanna S.

We will use digital puppets to create a motion pictures based on everything you have learned so far. ;Prerequisites :To begin this class, you must have completed all the other courses. This is because you will need the animatic which you created in the course on [[Filmmaking Basics|Basic Filmmaking]] which relies on the editing course and the film scoring course. ;Animation vs. Live Action :When you attend film school, you will learn all about live action filming. You will learn to work in a team and become a team player. :Therefore, for this course, you will work alone to create the entire motion picture by using digital actors on your personal computer. | style="width: 40%; background-color: cornsilk; {{Text default color}}; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 10px;" | {{center top}}[[Image:Crystal Clear app Login Manager.png]]{{center bottom}} ==Casting== The first step will be to find the digital actors you want for your motion picture. This requires the same care as casting live action actors. You need to find the characters which help tell the story you want to tell. When you select the characters, these characters will greatly shape the meaning of the motion picture. Also the selection of the characters for your motion picture will decide what kind of voices you need for the characters. As an example, look at the list of possible characters for this movie. See how each of the options gives a completely new feeling to the motion picture. |} {| cellpadding="20" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" | style="width: 55%; background-color: BlanchedAlmond; {{Text default color}}; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" rowspan="3" | ==Digital Puppet magazine== :For background information on Digital Puppets, download some of the old copies of this magazine. ---- ---- <p style = "font-size: 20pt;font-family: georgia; text-align: center; color: MidnightBlue">The most current issue</p> {{center top}}[[Image:Digital Puppet magazine cover N9.png|360px]]{{center bottom}} <p style = "font-size: 20pt;font-family: georgia; text-align: center; color: MidnightBlue">Download it here!</p> *Download the PDF files (1.7 megs) [[Media:Digital Puppet magazine N9.pdf|Digital Puppet magazine Number 9 - Winter 2006.pdf]] <!--| style="width: 50%; background-color: Lavender; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 10px;" | {{center top}}[[Image:Digital Puppet magazine cover N9.png|260px]]{{center bottom}} *Download the PDF files (1.7 megs) [[Media:Digital Puppet magazine N9.pdf|Digital Puppet magazine Number 9 - Winter 2006.pdf]] |- --> | style="width: 45%; background-color: Lavender; {{Text default color}}; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 10px;" | {{center top}}[[Image:Digital Puppet magazine cover N8.png|300px]]{{center bottom}} *Download the PDF files (.8 megs) [[Media:Digital Puppet magazine N8.pdf|Digital Puppet magazine Number 8 - Winter 2005.pdf]] |- | style="width: 45%; background-color: Lavender; {{Text default color}}; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 10px;" | {{center top}}[[Image:Digital Puppet magazine cover N7.png|260px]]{{center bottom}} *Download the PDF files (.7 megs) [[Media:Digital Puppet magazine N7.pdf|Digital Puppet magazine Number 7 - Summer 2004.pdf]] |} <!-- {| cellpadding="30" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" | style="background-color: #FFffa0; border: 1px solid #777777; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" colspan="2" | {{center top}}[[Image:Crystal Clear app kfm home.png|50px]] <big>Select from the following Digital Puppets</big></big></big> {{center bottom}} |} {| cellpadding="20" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" | style="width: 50%; background-color: BlanchedAlmond; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" rowspan="2" | {{center top}}[[Image:Percy and son-Publicity photo.png|320px]]{{center bottom}} ==Percy and Son== Here is a single figure from 3D Universe which is ideal for this story. | style="width: 50%; background-color: Lavender; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 10px;" | {{center top}}[[Image:Croc and son-Publicity photo.png|320px]]{{center bottom}} ==Big Croc and Little Croc== Here is a single figure from 3D Universe which is ideal for this story. |} {| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" | style="width: 100%; background-color: #ffffe0; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" rowspan="2" | [[Image:Crystal Clear app korganizer.png|right|96px]] ==Your first decision== :Your first decision will be to locate the digital figures that you will want to use to make this motion picture.

Some basic ones are listed below. ==Alkane== Every organic structure is based on alkanes. They contain only carbon and hydrogen, which are only connected through single bonds (C-H or C-C). These bonds are quite stable, non-polar, and therefore hydrophobic. You can differ between linear, branched, and cyclic alkanes. -list of linear alkanes with names, structure and semistructure will follow Molecular Formula of Alkane is :C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n+2</sub> ==Alkene== Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which have a general molecular formula of C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n</sub>. Hence, these are more reactive compared to their counterpart alkanes. Electrophilic addition reactions are a characteristic nature of alkenes. The first member is ethylene or ethene adds bromine to give 1,2-dibromoethane. ==Alkyne== Triply bonded carbon atoms with the general structure C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n-2</sub>. This is the SMILES for hexyne: H-C#C-C#C-C#C-H ==Hydroxyl Group== [[Image:Alcohol-(general)-skeletal.png|75px|thumb|right|Hydroxyl Group]] The hydroxyl group is formed by attaching an [[oxygen]] and a [[hydrogen]] atom to a molecule. Both the bond from the molecule to the oxygen and the bond from the oxygen to the hydrogen are single bonds; thus hydroxyl groups are usually denoted R-O-H. (where O is oxygen, H is hydrogen, and R is the molecule the hydroxyl group is attached to) An organic compound that contains a hydroxyl group is called an alcohol. Reactions of alcohols is covered in Section 4.2 ==Carbonyl Group== [[Image:carbonyl-general.png|75px|thumb|right|Carbonyl group]] The Carbonyl group is formed by attaching a oxygen to a [[carbon]] by a [[double bond]], then attaching that same carbon atom to a molecule. A carbonyl group is denoted X-C=O ==Carboxyl Group== [[Image:Carboxylic-acid-skeletal.svg|thumb|80px|right|Carboxyl group]] The carboxyl group is formed by starting with a carbonyl group , then attaching a hydroxyl group to the same carbon atom in the carbonyl group. Finally, the carboxyl group is added to a molecule. Because carbon has four [[bonding sites]], and three of them are taken up by the hydrogen and oxygen, the bond from the carbon to the molecule is a single bond. A carboxyl group is denoted X-COH=O ==Aromatic== Aromatic compounds, also known as arenes or aromatics, are chemical compounds that contain conjugated planar ring systems with delocalised pi electron clouds instead of discrete alternating single and double bonds. Typical aromatic compounds are benzene and toluene. Considering benzene: Each carbon atom uses three sp<sup>2</sup> orbitals to form σ bonds to the other three atoms attached to it. This requires that all the atoms are in one plane. The carbon atoms have 1 electron left in the p orbital which overlaps with its neighbours. This produces 6 new π orbitals, three of which are bonding. Thus they form clouds of electrons above and below the ring in a torus shape and are known as the aromatic sextet. They can be represented as shown in figure 1. Figure 1: The aromatic sextet. They should satisfy Hückel's law. Which states that an aromatic compound is cyclic, conjugated, and has 4n + 2 π electons. ==Heteroaromatic== Aromatic groups with more than one ring. An example of this is purine. ==Haloalkane== Carbon-based motifs with a halogen, e.g. chloroethane. ==Ether== R-O-R ==Amine== R<sub>3</sub>-N, R<sub>2</sub>-NH, or R-NH<sub>2</sub> are examples of amines. ==Aldehyde== R-C(=O)-H ==Ketone== R-C(=O)-R ==Ester== R-C(=O)-O-R or H-C(=O)-O-R ==Amide== R-C(=O)-N(-H)-R or R-C(-OH)=N-R Present in peptide bonds, which are bonds between amino acids in peptides and proteins. ==Nitrile== R−C≡N This functional group is formed when nitrogen has a triple bond with carbon. == See Also == * [[Wikipedia: Functional group]] [[Category:Chemistry]] [[Category:Functional groups]] 963709kf1qvbd9nmuqyz8c6az56id9u 2807956 2807953 2026-05-08T17:31:03Z ~2026-27907-14 3071129 /* Alkane */ correct Mr formula 2807956 wikitext text/x-wiki {{chemistry}} {{TOCright}} ==Introduction== Functional groups are groups of atoms within a molecule that affect its function.

Both the bond from the molecule to the oxygen and the bond from the oxygen to the hydrogen are single bonds; thus hydroxyl groups are usually denoted R-O-H. (where O is oxygen, H is hydrogen, and R is the molecule the hydroxyl group is attached to) An organic compound that contains a hydroxyl group is called an alcohol. Reactions of alcohols is covered in Section 4.2 ==Carbonyl Group== [[Image:carbonyl-general.png|75px|thumb|right|Carbonyl group]] The Carbonyl group is formed by attaching a oxygen to a [[carbon]] by a [[double bond]], then attaching that same carbon atom to a molecule. A carbonyl group is denoted X-C=O ==Carboxyl Group== [[Image:Carboxylic-acid-skeletal.svg|thumb|80px|right|Carboxyl group]] The carboxyl group is formed by starting with a carbonyl group , then attaching a hydroxyl group to the same carbon atom in the carbonyl group. Finally, the carboxyl group is added to a molecule. Because carbon has four [[bonding sites]], and three of them are taken up by the hydrogen and oxygen, the bond from the carbon to the molecule is a single bond. A carboxyl group is denoted X-COH=O ==Aromatic== Aromatic compounds, also known as arenes or aromatics, are chemical compounds that contain conjugated planar ring systems with delocalised pi electron clouds instead of discrete alternating single and double bonds. Typical aromatic compounds are benzene and toluene. Considering benzene: Each carbon atom uses sp<sup>2</sup> orbitals to form σ bonds to the other three atoms attached to it. This requires that all the atoms are in one plane. The carbon atoms have 1 electron in the p orbital which overlaps with its neighbours. This produces 6 new orbitals, three of which are bonding these are called π orbitals. Thus they form clouds of electrons above and below the ring in a torus shape and are known as the aromatic sextet. They can be represented as shown in figure 1. Figure 1: The aromatic sextet. They should satisfy Hückel's law. ==Heteroaromatic== Aromatic groups with more than one ring. An example of this is purine. ==Haloalkane== Carbon-based motifs with a halogen, e.g. chloroethane. ==Ether== R-O-R ==Amine== R<sub>3</sub>-N, R<sub>2</sub>-NH, or R-NH<sub>2</sub> are examples of amines. ==Aldehyde== R-C(=O)-H ==Ketone== R-C(=O)-R ==Ester== R-C(=O)-O-R or H-C(=O)-O-R ==Amide== R-C(=O)-N(-H)-R or R-C(-OH)=N-R Present in peptide bonds, which are bonds between amino acids in peptides and proteins. ==Nitrile== R−C≡N This functional group is formed when nitrogen has a triple bond with carbon. == See Also == * [[Wikipedia: Functional group]] [[Category:Chemistry]] [[Category:Functional groups]] b06q5b179e36z2stjsff5n4rr6y5e3v Brezhoneg Unan/Lesson 3 0 46920 2807932 2610687 2026-05-08T16:46:15Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807932 wikitext text/x-wiki {| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width:99%; background-color:inherit;{{Text default color}}; margin:auto;" | style="background-color:#eed153;{{Text default color}}; border:1px solid #777; border-radius:8px;" colspan="2"| ==Basic Grammar rules== === Sentence structure === English is an <u>adjective-noun</u> language, which means that the adjective (describing word) comes before the noun (described word), and the noun comes before the verb (action).<br>For instance: {| style="margin-left:50px; text-align:center; background-color:#ffffe0;{{Text default color}};" |- |The||'''big'''||'''ship'''||'''went'''||to Brittany. |- |style="padding:5px;"|(article)||adjective||noun||verb||(complement) |} Breton on the other hand is a <u>noun-adjective</u> language, which means that the noun comes before the adjective. {| style="margin-left:50px; text-align:center; background-color:#ffffe0;{{Text default color}};" |- |Al||'''lestr'''||'''bras'''||'''a yeas'''||da Vreizh. |- |style="padding:5px;"|(article)||noun||adjective||verb||(complement) |- |colspan="5"|(Literally: "The ship big went to Brittany"). |} === Articles === ;Definite articles *'''al''' [al] before words beginning with "'''l'''": '''al l'''abour "the work", '''al l'''evr "the book", '''al l'''iamm "the link", '''al l'''ouarn "the fox", '''al l'''ur "the pound". *'''an''' [ãn] before "'''n'''", "'''d'''", "'''t'''", "'''h'''" and '''vowels''': '''an n'''adoz "the needle", '''an d'''ervenn "the oak", '''an t'''evenn "the cliff", '''an h'''eol "the sun", '''an o'''abl "the sky". *'''ar''' [ar] before other letters: '''ar b'''ara "the bread", '''ar c'h'''arr "the car", '''ar m'''or "the sea", '''ar s'''ae "the dress", '''ar y'''ar "the hen". ;Indefinite articles The indefinite articles follow the same rule as the definite ones. *'''ul''' ['œl] before "'''l'''": '''ul l'''enn "a lake". *'''un''' ['œn] before "'''n'''", "'''d'''", "'''t'''", "'''h'''" and '''vowels''': '''un d'''aol "a table", '''un e'''rer "un eagle". *'''ur''' ['œr] before other letters: '''ur f'''alc'h "a scythe". ;Combination The Breton preposition '''e''' "in" is [[w:Contraction (grammar)|contracted]] with the definite article (al, an, ar) to give: *'''el''' before "l": '''el''' liorzh "in the garden". *'''en''' before "n", "d", "t", "h" and vowels: '''en''' ti "in the house". *'''er''' before other letters: '''er''' straed "in the street". ==Exercises== Write the following sentences with the correct grammar. *''The mayor is big.''

However, in some remote locations, this luxury may not be available. There is a need for alternative methods of power generation to supply electricity to a home operating off-grid. In order to shed light on the options available, a comparison between power generation options for a single family home located in Port Sydney, [[w:Muskoka|Muskoka]] will be made. Off-grid power is not cheap, and unfortunately empty pockets are not the only cost. In the age of limited sources of energy, strict regulations and an increasing awareness for our impact as humans on our planet, this analysis will compare each alternative over a 15 year life-cycle and focus on the environmental impacts. Three options for generation will be considered: a [[w:diesel generator|diesel generator]] (baseline), a [[w:micro hydro|micro hydro]] system, and a solar/wind combination system. The common function is to supply [http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/BoiLu.shtml 8,900kWh]<ref>Edited by Glenn Elert, “Power Consumption of a Home”, The Physics Factbook, [Online document], 2003, [cited 2008 March 22]</ref> of power annually to the home - the average power consumption of a household in the United States. Each option has been carefully selected to satisfy this requirement. The diesel generator is one of the most widely available methods of off-grid generation. The [[w:combustion|combustion]] of diesel fuel converts chemical potential into [[w:kinetic energy|kinetic energy]] which in turn spins a generator to create electricity. The micro-hydro system implements a water turbine system to harness gravitational potential and kinetic energy of a river and convert it into rotational motion of a turbine and subsequently electricity. The solar/wind combination system utilizes sources of renewable energy to generate power through solar panels and a wind turbine. Each source relies on inputs which are intermittent in nature. The diesel generator must be refilled, the river is not always flowing at its peak, and some days are calm and cloudy. In order to provide a continuous source of power, a [[#Battery_Bank|battery bank]] system to store the electricity will be implemented. However, as this bank is required in each case, it does not aid in our comparison of power generation technologies. == Project Information == *Section: 01 *Group: 8A **Vuk Dulanovic (Vdulanovic) **David Grant (David.grant) **Andrew Demeter (Andrew.demeter) **Adam Debowski (Adam.debowski) == Highlights and Recommendations == ===Major Highlights=== ====Functional==== The micro-hydro generation system and the solar/wind combination both rely on a natural source of energy. Specifically, the micro-hydro depends on the flow rate of the river which varies seasonally, and the solar/wind combination depends on sunlight and wind speed, respectively. These natural sources are not consistent and therefore decrease the reliability of the two systems. The diesel generator is the most reliable system since it is not dependant on natural variables. ====Cost==== The table below summarizes the life cycle costs for each option. Based strictly on direct costs, the micro-hydro alternative is the best choice.

For example, by calculating the cost of a product and entering that amount into the appropriate EIOLCA sector, one can obtain the release values for toxins, green house gases and energy consumption that results from the economic activity. Using the life cycle costs for each alternative, appropriate sectors were selected within the EIOLCA software and results were obtained. EIOLCA proved to be a strong determining factor in the comparison. By considering the environmental impacts of each system, we can gain a quantitive understanding of how each system affects our ecosystem. The EIOLCA allows us to pinpoint downfalls of each alternative and consider ways in which they may be improved. The following is a graph of the releases/consumptions for each alternative as a percentage of the total releases/consumptions for all alternatives. [[Image:EIOLCA.JPG]] The following are the totals obtained from the EIOLCA analysis for each alternative. The values in bold are the worst amongst each of the alternatives.<br> <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='border-collapse:collapse;border:none;'> <tr style='padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p>Alternative</p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> SO2 ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> CO ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Nox ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> VOC ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Lead ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> PM10 ( mt) </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_2|Diesel]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.035 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.131 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.028 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.026 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.004 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_3|Micro Hydro]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0247 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.1662 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.0473''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0192 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0055 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_4|Solar/Wind]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.059''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.256''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.044 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.029''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.012''' </p> </td> </tr> </table> <table class=MsoTableGrid border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='width:442.9pt;border-collapse:collapse;border:none;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;

Solar/wind has the most toxic releases, and the highest energy consumption due to the significant energy inputs required in the manufacturing phase. In addition to this, the diesel generator option contributes the most to global warming as it is the only option that burns fossil fuels. ====SLCA==== [[Image:slca.JPG|right]] The Visual SLCA chart helps us see which alternatives are stronger in each category (the higher the score, the more environmentally friendly). In the Materials Provisioning stage of the process of power generation, the diesel generator ranks the lowest due to the amount of mining and refining required. The other alternatives require significantly less metal components. Another interesting thing to note is that the micro-hydro and solar/wind hybrid systems score the same in the Primary Process category. The reason for this is because they both satisfy the same functional requirement while affecting the environment at the same level (during the primary process). The diesel generator, on the other hand, satisfies the same functional requirements while negatively affecting the environment via the combustion of a fossil fuel. During the Secondary Process, all of the alternatives rank the same. The reason for this equality is associated with the nature of the Secondary Process, itself. In the case of supplying an off-grid home with power, the use of a battery bank to store the generated power (which will be supplied to the home in periods of wind/sun/river current lull or when the diesel generator is off) is necessary. Within the scope of this project, therefore, the Secondary Process refers to the management of power within the batter bank. Due to the fact that every alternative (within the scope of this report) is designed to function with the same batter bank, the Secondary Process for each alternative bears the same, and relatively low, impact on the environment. ====Societal==== Each of the three systems has some sort of societal effect that should be accounted for to make the best possible decision. Some possible impacts include generated noise, smell, ecological effects, increased water temperature, excavation and natural aesthetics. For the case of the diesel generator, noise was not an issue because the chosen model was part of the Quiet Diesel(QD) series. However, the smell given off by the diesel generator could perhaps be an issue to the surrounding neighbours. The societal impacts caused by the micro-hydro generation system include river damming and destruction of the surrounding ecosystem. Fish are often killed travelling down stream into the turbine or intake mesh. The increased water temperature causes changes in the biotic makeup of the water in the river. This can cause plants and algae to grow at the site. Excavation can also cause problems for the environment because pipelines must be installed underground and may disrupt animal homes or plant roots. The solar/wind combination system has very few societal effects. The most significant is the noise given off by the wind turbine during operation. This effect could be minimized by installing the fan away from the house. ===Final Recommendation=== The final recommendation for providing off-grid electricity for the cottage owner in Port Sydney, Muskoka is the micro-hydro generation system. This decision is based on the conclusion from the functional, cost, streamlined life cycle, economic input/output life cycle, and societal analyses. The major downfall of this system is observed when considering the functional analysis. This system seems to be the hardest to implement because of the excavation for the pipelines. However, when looking at the EIOLCA, micro-hydro has the least amount of GWP and also releases the least amount of toxins. Along with this system being the most environmentally friendly, it is also the cheapest. The initial cost for this system is fairly large but because it harnesses natural energy and requires no other costs other than regular maintenance. With an overall cost of $19,100 USD, micro-hydro is the cheapest of the three alternatives, with diesel costing approximately $25,000 USD and the solar/wind combination being the most expensive at approximately $30,000 USD. When taking into consideration the societal effects, a minor downfall is that it disrupts the ecology of the nearby river. However, large amounts of fish are killed only when major hydro power sites are present. In our client’s case, this is a simple and small water turbine that will not cause a large enough effect for it to be deemed dangerous. ==Additional Information== ===Baseline: Diesel Generator=== ====Functional==== The average American household uses 8,900kWh of electricity every year . The diesel generator which has been chosen (Onan 8.0 HDKAU) will output 6kW of power when running, and will burn a quarter gallon of fuel every hour .In order to supply 8,900kWh of electricity annually, the diesel generator must be left running for four hours every day. Estimating the price of fuel to be $3.75 per gallon, the generator would burn $1,500 of diesel annually. ====Cost==== <u>Initial Cost</u><br> The Onan generator has an initial cost of $7000 USD (this figure includes installation costs). The shipping cost, however, is not included in the purchase price. The location of the off-grid home (120km away from the nearest Onan distribution site) introduces a cost of roughly [http://www.freightmonster.com/index.aspx $300 USD]<ref>Get a Quote”, Freight Monster, [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 20]</ref>. <u>Maintenance Cost</u><br> The cost of maintenance has been estimated to be roughly $150 annually. The estimation has taken into account the need for very little maintenance during the first few years of the generator’s life, and an increased amount of maintenance as the generator ages. <u>Operating Cost</u><br> The cost incurred during the operation of the generator is attributed only to the cost of diesel fuel consumed by the generator. At $3.75 per gallon, the generator consumes $1,500 annually. <u>Disposal Cost</u><br> A diesel generator will generally last longer than 15 years (which is the lifetime of each alternative within the scope of this project). Therefore, there will be no real cost associated with its disposal. In fact, our cottage owner would probably be able to sell the generator for a profit, or simply have the generator taken away at no cost. If the generator was not functional at the end of its life, it would either be recycled or refurbished, neither of which have strong environmental impacts. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=674 style='width:505.3pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:11.55pt'> <td width=203 nowrap valign=top style='width:152.45pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

A diesel generator, however, is generally quieter than a gas powered generator because it outputs the same power at roughly half of the speed. Furthermore, the Onan 8.0 HDKAU is a part of Onan’s QD (Quiet Diesel) series which create much less noise pollution than other diesel generators with comparable power ratings. In fact, the 8.0 HDKAU has a decibel rating of 67dB (heard 10 feet away from the generator), which is just [http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/assumption/residential_footnotes.html slightly louder than a normal conversation between two people.]<ref>“Fuel and Energy Source Codes and Emission Coefficients”, Energy Information Administration, [Online document], 2000, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> <u>Smell</u><br> Another societal concern is the smell of burning diesel fuel. If there are neighbours nearby, they may complain about the odour. If a home is off-grid, however, there is a high probability that the area is not very populated. ===Alternative 1: Micro-hydro=== ====Functional==== A micro hydro power generation system harnesses both kinetic and gravitational potential of a river. These two sources of energy come from two characteristics of the river, the head and the flow rate. These will be discussed further in the Site Definition section. The moving water from the river is directed into a pipeline through the use of an “intake”, and fired through water jets which in turn spin a turbine blade. This rotational motion can be easily converted into electricity and stored in a battery storage system. <br><br> <u>Site Definition and Power Potential</u> The river this micro-hydro generation system will be installed on has the following characteristics: '''Head:''' 140ft (the vertical distance from the intake to the turbine) '''Peak Flow rate:''' 300gpm (the amount of water flowing through per unit time) [[Image:Microhydroplan.JPG]] In order to calculate the net head of the micro turbine system, we must subtract the head losses in the piping used from head provided by the elevation change. <p style="text-align:center;">Net head = 140ft – (300ft x 17.90ft/100ft of piping) = 86.3 ft</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Estimated Power (W) = (Net head*Flow rate)/ Efficiency Factor [12]</p> Typical efficiency Factors range from 9 to 14 depending on the system employed. For the purposes of this analysis we will use a factor of 10 which equates to [http://www.homepower.com/basics/hydro/ ~53% system efficiency]<ref>P. Cunningham and I. Woofenden, “Microhydro Electricity Basics” [Online document],[cited 2008 March 27]</ref>. This efficiency also includes the losses in the transmission lines, battery storage system, and AC inversion processes, and thus the estimated power below should be close to what the system will produce in reality. <p style="text-align:center;">'''Estimated Power = 1036 Watts <br>'''</p> <p style="text-align:center;">'''Annual Energy Output (kWh) = 9071.856 kWh'''</p> Since the annual energy requirement was set at 8900kWh per year, based on the analysis above the micro hydro system is able to meet this demand. For high-head (above 20ft) applications, it is ideal use a turbine with a [http://www.wind.appstate.edu/reports/microhydro_factsheet.pdf Turgo–type blade]<ref>“Fact Sheet: Microhydro”, Western North Carolina Renewable Energy Initiative, Appalachian State University, [Online document], 2007 January, [cited 2008 March 15]</ref>. This type of turbine blade allows for water jets to be angled at the blade instead of firing straight on. This makes it possible to increase the number of water jets, which in turn allows the turbine to handle higher flow rates. Energy Systems and Design produces a Turgo blade turbine called the Stream Engine ESD-SE-4. They are a Canadian company and therefore the prices used in the cost analysis represent a real solution that can be purchased in Canada, and not an item that is from U.S. or other markets. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=554 style='width:415.5pt;margin-left:5.4pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:13.5pt'> <td width=165 nowrap valign=bottom style='width:123.5pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

Although micro hydro systems are generally safe, and environmentally friendly, whenever a man made object is installed in nature, there are always undesirable consequences. Fish are often killed as they travel downstream and get caught in the turbine or intake mesh. It is estimated that in major hydro power sites, turbines eliminate [http://www.oceansatlas.org/servlet/CDSServlet?status=ND0xNzk4MSZjdG5faW5mb192aWV3X3NpemU9Y3RuX2luZm9fdmlld19mdWxsJjY9ZW4mMzM9KiYzNz1rb3M~ 25-73% of the juvenile and adult fish.]<ref> “UN Atlas of the Ocans” [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 26]</ref> <u>River damming</u> One issue that is important to address with micro hydro systems is the effects of river damming. Although the system being implemented above only uses an intake system and does not dam the river, similar effects are experienced - on a smaller scale. There is often an increase in temperature of the water around the dam. This results in changes to the “biotic-makeup” of the water in the river. This can affect what kind of plants and algae grow at the site. <u>Excavation</u> In addition to the river effects of the micro hydro system, there are also effects from the installation of the system due to substantial excavation for pipelines. The grading and removal of soil can disrupt animal’s homes and drive them out of an area. The running of a pipeline may also damage the root systems on trees and other plants, and may even cause them to die. ===Alternative 2: Solar/Wind=== ====Functional==== A wind and solar energy system can prove to be a quite effective source of energy to supply a small home. Typically, when it is sunny, it is calm, and when it is cloudy, it is windy. In this case, these hybrid components work hand in hand with each other to use natural power in any weather. Using only natural elements to harness energy, this system is very environmentally friendly during the usage stage of its life. Each windmill produces [http://www.alphasolar.net/alpha_solar_037.htm 1600kWh/year]<ref>“Southwest Windpower wind turbines”, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> at a wind speed of [http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/arma/climatology/speed_avg/ 8mph]<ref>“Average Wind Speed”, Climatology, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> (typical average for Muskoka). Each solar panel produces approximately [http://www.wholesalesolar.com/products.folder/module-folder/sharp/sharpND216.html 254kWh/year]<ref>“Sharp ND-208UI Solar Panel”, Wholesale Solar, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 24]</ref> under an operational efficiency of 13.3%. In order to power a house demanding 8900kWh of energy per year, one needs 4 windmills and 16 solar panels to operate at minimal output all day long. ====Cost==== The cost of both the windmills and the [[w:solar panels|solar panels]] is quite expensive. The price for one windmill is $2,425 and for one solar panel is $999. Due to the number of each needed, the total initial cost for these mechanisms becomes $25,684. This is quite expensive for an energy alternative. However, after the initial cost has been paid, the system becomes cheaper to maintain in latter years of use. <table class=MsoTableGrid border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse;border:none;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;

The [[w:noise|noise]] given off from the windmill is the main disturbance to the homeowner using the device. To reduce this sound effect, one must deter from mounting the windmill on the roof or in close proximity of the house. Instead, securely placing the [[w:windmill|windmill]] on a nearby long steel tower and mounting it into the ground is a better idea. It is wise to secure the standing windmill tower with steel wires that are staked into the ground. ===Battery Bank=== In order to power our client’s home, the electricity generated by the different alternatives (diesel generator, micro-hydro, and wind/solar hybrid) will be stored in the battery bank. The purpose of this battery bank is to store the extra energy generated by each alternative so that power may be continuously supplied to the home by the batteries during the times when the diesel generator is not running, there is a weak current in the river, or there is minimal wind/sun. This is due to the intermittent nature of the sources. There are three possibilities for the flow of electricity within the system as shown below. <br><br> [[Image:Batterybank.JPG]] <br><br> <u>Exclusion from Comparison</u><br> The battery bank has not been included in the individual analysis of each alternative because the battery bank that will be used is not dependent upon the method of power generation. That is, each alternative will function with the very same battery bank, and therefore no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ the various impacts of the battery bank are, the consideration of these impacts will not aid in the comparison of the three alternatives of power generation discussed in this report. This section of the report is dedicated to providing a potential off-grid home owner with the necessary economic information and environmental impacts pertaining to the implementation of a battery bank. <br><br> <u>Functionality and Cost</u><br> For backup and emergency purposes we will require that 2 days worth of electricity must be stored in a battery bank to supply the home when power is not being generated. In order to satisfy this requirement, 21 [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/Amazing/itemdesc.asp?CartId={98A039DE-9DF0-409A-ACF3-06FEVEREST537C57778}&ic=EV%2D216&eq=&Tp= AGM sealed batteries]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> will be used. Totaling to an initial cost of nearly [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/ $20,000]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref>, the battery bank is not a cheap component of off-grid power generation. However, it should be noted that the AGM batteries are rated to last over 20 years. ==Notes and References== <references /> [[Category:Design for the Environment]] p1f55whyyps3jvxg14z3xspdaw6d37n 2807957 2807952 2026-05-08T17:33:46Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807957 wikitext text/x-wiki one might take for granted the fact that we live amongst a full [[w:infrastructure|infrastructure]] of power distribution and we can find [[w:electricity|electricity ]] wherever we go. However, in some remote locations, this luxury may not be available. There is a need for alternative methods of power generation to supply electricity to a home operating off-grid. In order to shed light on the options available, a comparison between power generation options for a single family home located in Port Sydney, [[w:Muskoka|Muskoka]] will be made. Off-grid power is not cheap, and unfortunately empty pockets are not the only cost. In the age of limited sources of energy, strict regulations and an increasing awareness for our impact as humans on our planet, this analysis will compare each alternative over a 15 year life-cycle and focus on the environmental impacts. Three options for generation will be considered: a [[w:diesel generator|diesel generator]] (baseline), a [[w:micro hydro|micro hydro]] system, and a solar/wind combination system. The common function is to supply [http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/BoiLu.shtml 8,900kWh]<ref>Edited by Glenn Elert, “Power Consumption of a Home”, The Physics Factbook, [Online document], 2003, [cited 2008 March 22]</ref> of power annually to the home - the average power consumption of a household in the United States. Each option has been carefully selected to satisfy this requirement. The diesel generator is one of the most widely available methods of off-grid generation. The [[w:combustion|combustion]] of diesel fuel converts chemical potential into [[w:kinetic energy|kinetic energy]] which in turn spins a generator to create electricity. The micro-hydro system implements a water turbine system to harness gravitational potential and kinetic energy of a river and convert it into rotational motion of a turbine and subsequently electricity. The solar/wind combination system utilizes sources of renewable energy to generate power through solar panels and a wind turbine. Each source relies on inputs which are intermittent in nature. The diesel generator must be refilled, the river is not always flowing at its peak, and some days are calm and cloudy. In order to provide a continuous source of power, a [[#Battery_Bank|battery bank]] system to store the electricity will be implemented. However, as this bank is required in each case, it does not aid in our comparison of power generation technologies. == Project Information == *Section: 01 *Group: 8A **Vuk Dulanovic (Vdulanovic) **David Grant (David.grant) **Andrew Demeter (Andrew.demeter) **Adam Debowski (Adam.debowski) == Highlights and Recommendations == ===Major Highlights=== ====Functional==== The micro-hydro generation system and the solar/wind combination both rely on a natural source of energy. Specifically, the micro-hydro depends on the flow rate of the river which varies seasonally, and the solar/wind combination depends on sunlight and wind speed, respectively. These natural sources are not consistent and therefore decrease the reliability of the two systems. The diesel generator is the most reliable system since it is not dependant on natural variables. ====Cost==== The table below summarizes the life cycle costs for each option. Based strictly on direct costs, the micro-hydro alternative is the best choice.

For example, by calculating the cost of a product and entering that amount into the appropriate EIOLCA sector, one can obtain the release values for toxins, green house gases and energy consumption that results from the economic activity. Using the life cycle costs for each alternative, appropriate sectors were selected within the EIOLCA software and results were obtained. EIOLCA proved to be a strong determining factor in the comparison. By considering the environmental impacts of each system, we can gain a quantitive understanding of how each system affects our ecosystem. The EIOLCA allows us to pinpoint downfalls of each alternative and consider ways in which they may be improved. The following is a graph of the releases/consumptions for each alternative as a percentage of the total releases/consumptions for all alternatives. [[Image:EIOLCA.JPG]] The following are the totals obtained from the EIOLCA analysis for each alternative. The values in bold are the worst amongst each of the alternatives.<br> <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='border-collapse:collapse;border:none;'> <tr style='padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p>Alternative</p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> SO2 ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> CO ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Nox ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> VOC ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Lead ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> PM10 ( mt) </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_2|Diesel]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.035 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.131 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.028 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.026 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.004 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_3|Micro Hydro]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0247 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.1662 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.0473''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0192 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0055 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_4|Solar/Wind]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.059''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.256''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.044 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.029''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.012''' </p> </td> </tr> </table> <table class=MsoTableGrid border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='width:442.9pt;border-collapse:collapse;border:none;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;

Solar/wind has the most toxic releases, and the highest energy consumption due to the significant energy inputs required in the manufacturing phase. In addition to this, the diesel generator option contributes the most to global warming as it is the only option that burns fossil fuels. ====SLCA==== [[Image:slca.JPG|right]] The Visual SLCA chart helps us see which alternatives are stronger in each category (the higher the score, the more environmentally friendly). In the Materials Provisioning stage of the process of power generation, the diesel generator ranks the lowest due to the amount of mining and refining required. The other alternatives require significantly less metal components. Another interesting thing to note is that the micro-hydro and solar/wind hybrid systems score the same in the Primary Process category. The reason for this is because they both satisfy the same functional requirement while affecting the environment at the same level (during the primary process). The diesel generator, on the other hand, satisfies the same functional requirements while negatively affecting the environment via the combustion of a fossil fuel. During the Secondary Process, all of the alternatives rank the same. The reason for this equality is associated with the nature of the Secondary Process, itself. In the case of supplying an off-grid home with power, the use of a battery bank to store the generated power (which will be supplied to the home in periods of wind/sun/river current lull or when the diesel generator is off) is necessary. Within the scope of this project, therefore, the Secondary Process refers to the management of power within the batter bank. Due to the fact that every alternative (within the scope of this report) is designed to function with the same batter bank, the Secondary Process for each alternative bears the same, and relatively low, impact on the environment. ====Societal==== Each of the three systems has some sort of societal effect that should be accounted for to make the best possible decision. Some possible impacts include generated noise, smell, ecological effects, increased water temperature, excavation and natural aesthetics. For the case of the diesel generator, noise was not an issue because the chosen model was part of the Quiet Diesel(QD) series. However, the smell given off by the diesel generator could perhaps be an issue to the surrounding neighbours. The societal impacts caused by the micro-hydro generation system include river damming and destruction of the surrounding ecosystem. Fish are often killed travelling down stream into the turbine or intake mesh. The increased water temperature causes changes in the biotic makeup of the water in the river. This can cause plants and algae to grow at the site. Excavation can also cause problems for the environment because pipelines must be installed underground and may disrupt animal homes or plant roots. The solar/wind combination system has very few societal effects. The most significant is the noise given off by the wind turbine during operation. This effect could be minimized by installing the fan away from the house. ===Final Recommendation=== The final recommendation for providing off-grid electricity for the cottage owner in Port Sydney, Muskoka is the micro-hydro generation system. This decision is based on the conclusion from the functional, cost, streamlined life cycle, economic input/output life cycle, and societal analyses. The major downfall of this system is observed when considering the functional analysis. This system seems to be the hardest to implement because of the excavation for the pipelines. However, when looking at the EIOLCA, micro-hydro has the least amount of GWP and also releases the least amount of toxins. Along with this system being the most environmentally friendly, it is also the cheapest. The initial cost for this system is fairly large but because it harnesses natural energy and requires no other costs other than regular maintenance. With an overall cost of $19,100 USD, micro-hydro is the cheapest of the three alternatives, with diesel costing approximately $25,000 USD and the solar/wind combination being the most expensive at approximately $30,000 USD. When taking into consideration the societal effects, a minor downfall is that it disrupts the ecology of the nearby river. However, large amounts of fish are killed only when major hydro power sites are present. In our client’s case, this is a simple and small water turbine that will not cause a large enough effect for it to be deemed dangerous. ==Additional Information== ===Baseline: Diesel Generator=== ====Functional==== The average American household uses 8,900kWh of electricity every year . The diesel generator which has been chosen (Onan 8.0 HDKAU) will output 6kW of power when running, and will burn a quarter gallon of fuel every hour .In order to supply 8,900kWh of electricity annually, the diesel generator must be left running for four hours every day. Estimating the price of fuel to be $3.75 per gallon, the generator would burn $1,500 of diesel annually. ====Cost==== <u>Initial Cost</u><br> The Onan generator has an initial cost of $7000 USD (this figure includes installation costs). The shipping cost, however, is not included in the purchase price. The location of the off-grid home (120km away from the nearest Onan distribution site) introduces a cost of roughly [http://www.freightmonster.com/index.aspx $300 USD]<ref>Get a Quote”, Freight Monster, [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 20]</ref>. <u>Maintenance Cost</u><br> The cost of maintenance has been estimated to be roughly $150 annually. The estimation has taken into account the need for very little maintenance during the first few years of the generator’s life, and an increased amount of maintenance as the generator ages. <u>Operating Cost</u><br> The cost incurred during the operation of the generator is attributed only to the cost of diesel fuel consumed by the generator. At $3.75 per gallon, the generator consumes $1,500 annually. <u>Disposal Cost</u><br> A diesel generator will generally last longer than 15 years (which is the lifetime of each alternative within the scope of this project). Therefore, there will be no real cost associated with its disposal. In fact, our cottage owner would probably be able to sell the generator for a profit, or simply have the generator taken away at no cost. If the generator was not functional at the end of its life, it would either be recycled or refurbished, neither of which have strong environmental impacts. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=674 style='width:505.3pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:11.55pt'> <td width=203 nowrap valign=top style='width:152.45pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

A diesel generator, however, is generally quieter than a gas powered generator because it outputs the same power at roughly half of the speed. Furthermore, the Onan 8.0 HDKAU is a part of Onan’s QD (Quiet Diesel) series which create much less noise pollution than other diesel generators with comparable power ratings. In fact, the 8.0 HDKAU has a decibel rating of 67dB (heard 10 feet away from the generator), which is just [http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/assumption/residential_footnotes.html slightly louder than a normal conversation between two people.]<ref>“Fuel and Energy Source Codes and Emission Coefficients”, Energy Information Administration, [Online document], 2000, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> <u>Smell</u><br> Another societal concern is the smell of burning diesel fuel. If there are neighbours nearby, they may complain about the odour. If a home is off-grid, however, there is a high probability that the area is not very populated. ===Alternative 1: Micro-hydro=== ====Functional==== A micro hydro power generation system harnesses both kinetic and gravitational potential of a river. These two sources of energy come from two characteristics of the river, the head and the flow rate. These will be discussed further in the Site Definition section. The moving water from the river is directed into a pipeline through the use of an “intake”, and fired through water jets which in turn spin a turbine blade. This rotational motion can be easily converted into electricity and stored in a battery storage system. <br><br> <u>Site Definition and Power Potential</u> The river this micro-hydro generation system will be installed on has the following characteristics: '''Head:''' 140ft (the vertical distance from the intake to the turbine) '''Peak Flow rate:''' 300gpm (the amount of water flowing through per unit time) [[Image:Microhydroplan.JPG]] In order to calculate the net head of the micro turbine system, we must subtract the head losses in the piping used from head provided by the elevation change. <p style="text-align:center;">Net head = 140ft – (300ft x 17.90ft/100ft of piping) = 86.3 ft</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Estimated Power (W) = (Net head*Flow rate)/ Efficiency Factor [12]</p> Typical efficiency Factors range from 9 to 14 depending on the system employed. For the purposes of this analysis we will use a factor of 10 which equates to [http://www.homepower.com/basics/hydro/ ~53% system efficiency]<ref>P. Cunningham and I. Woofenden, “Microhydro Electricity Basics” [Online document],[cited 2008 March 27]</ref>. This efficiency also includes the losses in the transmission lines, battery storage system, and AC inversion processes, and thus the estimated power below should be close to what the system will produce in reality. <p style="text-align:center;">'''Estimated Power = 1036 Watts <br>'''</p> <p style="text-align:center;">'''Annual Energy Output (kWh) = 9071.856 kWh'''</p> Since the annual energy requirement was set at 8900kWh per year, based on the analysis above the micro hydro system is able to meet this demand. For high-head (above 20ft) applications, it is ideal use a turbine with a [http://www.wind.appstate.edu/reports/microhydro_factsheet.pdf Turgo–type blade]<ref>“Fact Sheet: Microhydro”, Western North Carolina Renewable Energy Initiative, Appalachian State University, [Online document], 2007 January, [cited 2008 March 15]</ref>. This type of turbine blade allows for water jets to be angled at the blade instead of firing straight on. This makes it possible to increase the number of water jets, which in turn allows the turbine to handle higher flow rates. Energy Systems and Design produces a Turgo blade turbine called the Stream Engine ESD-SE-4. They are a Canadian company and therefore the prices used in the cost analysis represent a real solution that can be purchased in Canada, and not an item that is from U.S. or other markets. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=554 style='width:415.5pt;margin-left:5.4pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:13.5pt'> <td width=165 nowrap valign=bottom style='width:123.5pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

Although micro hydro systems are generally safe, and environmentally friendly, whenever a man made object is installed in nature, there are always undesirable consequences. Fish are often killed as they travel downstream and get caught in the turbine or intake mesh. It is estimated that in major hydro power sites, turbines eliminate [http://www.oceansatlas.org/servlet/CDSServlet?status=ND0xNzk4MSZjdG5faW5mb192aWV3X3NpemU9Y3RuX2luZm9fdmlld19mdWxsJjY9ZW4mMzM9KiYzNz1rb3M~ 25-73% of the juvenile and adult fish.]<ref> “UN Atlas of the Ocans” [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 26]</ref> <u>River damming</u> One issue that is important to address with micro hydro systems is the effects of river damming. Although the system being implemented above only uses an intake system and does not dam the river, similar effects are experienced - on a smaller scale. There is often an increase in temperature of the water around the dam. This results in changes to the “biotic-makeup” of the water in the river. This can affect what kind of plants and algae grow at the site. <u>Excavation</u> In addition to the river effects of the micro hydro system, there are also effects from the installation of the system due to substantial excavation for pipelines. The grading and removal of soil can disrupt animal’s homes and drive them out of an area. The running of a pipeline may also damage the root systems on trees and other plants, and may even cause them to die. ===Alternative 2: Solar/Wind=== ====Functional==== A wind and solar energy system can prove to be a quite effective source of energy to supply a small home. Typically, when it is sunny, it is calm, and when it is cloudy, it is windy. In this case, these hybrid components work hand in hand with each other to use natural power in any weather. Using only natural elements to harness energy, this system is very environmentally friendly during the usage stage of its life. Each windmill produces [http://www.alphasolar.net/alpha_solar_037.htm 1600kWh/year]<ref>“Southwest Windpower wind turbines”, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> at a wind speed of [http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/arma/climatology/speed_avg/ 8mph]<ref>“Average Wind Speed”, Climatology, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> (typical average for Muskoka). Each solar panel produces approximately [http://www.wholesalesolar.com/products.folder/module-folder/sharp/sharpND216.html 254kWh/year]<ref>“Sharp ND-208UI Solar Panel”, Wholesale Solar, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 24]</ref> under an operational efficiency of 13.3%. In order to power a house demanding 8900kWh of energy per year, one needs 4 windmills and 16 solar panels to operate at minimal output all day long. ====Cost==== The cost of both the windmills and the [[w:solar panels|solar panels]] is quite expensive. The price for one windmill is $2,425 and for one solar panel is $999. Due to the number of each needed, the total initial cost for these mechanisms becomes $25,684. This is quite expensive for an energy alternative.

The [[w:noise|noise]] given off from the windmill is the main disturbance to the homeowner using the device. To reduce this sound effect, one must deter from mounting the windmill on the roof or in close proximity of the house. Instead, securely placing the [[w:windmill|windmill]] on a nearby long steel tower and mounting it into the ground is a better idea. It is wise to secure the standing windmill tower with steel wires that are staked into the ground. ===Battery Bank=== In order to power our client’s home, the electricity generated by the different alternatives (diesel generator, micro-hydro, and wind/solar hybrid) will be stored in the battery bank. The purpose of this battery bank is to store the extra energy generated by each alternative so that power may be continuously supplied to the home by the batteries during the times when the diesel generator is not running, there is a weak current in the river, or there is minimal wind/sun. This is due to the intermittent nature of the sources. There are three possibilities for the flow of electricity within the system as shown below. <br><br> [[Image:Batterybank.JPG]] <br><br> <u>Exclusion from Comparison</u><br> The battery bank has not been included in the individual analysis of each alternative because the battery bank that will be used is not dependent upon the method of power generation. That is, each alternative will function with the very same battery bank, and therefore no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ the various impacts of the battery bank are, the consideration of these impacts will not aid in the comparison of the three alternatives of power generation discussed in this report. This section of the report is dedicated to providing a potential off-grid home owner with the necessary economic information and environmental impacts pertaining to the implementation of a battery bank. <br><br> <u>Functionality and Cost</u><br> For backup and emergency purposes we will require that 2 days worth of electricity must be stored in a battery bank to supply the home when power is not being generated. In order to satisfy this requirement, 21 [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/Amazing/itemdesc.asp?CartId={98A039DE-9DF0-409A-ACF3-06FEVEREST537C57778}&ic=EV%2D216&eq=&Tp= AGM sealed batteries]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> will be used. Totaling to an initial cost of nearly [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/ $20,000]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref>, the battery bank is not a cheap component of off-grid power generation. However, it should be noted that the AGM batteries are rated to last over 20 years. ==Notes and References== <references /> [[Category:Design for the Environment]] 16a4eof8lrkr909rbj7k3miyz8ojcqo 2807958 2807957 2026-05-08T17:34:47Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807958 wikitext text/x-wiki one might take for granted the fact that we live amongst a full [[w:infrastructure|infrastructure]] of power distribution and we can find [[w:electricity|electricity ]] wherever we go. However, in some remote locations, this luxury may not be available. There is a need for alternative methods of power generation to supply electricity to a home operating off-grid. In order to shed light on the options available, a comparison between power generation options for a single family home located in Port Sydney, [[w:Muskoka|Muskoka]] will be made. Off-grid power is not cheap, and unfortunately empty pockets are not the only cost. In the age of limited sources of energy, strict regulations and an increasing awareness for our impact as humans on our planet, this analysis will compare each alternative over a 15 year life-cycle and focus on the environmental impacts. Three options for generation will be considered: a [[w:diesel generator|diesel generator]] (baseline), a [[w:micro hydro|micro hydro]] system, and a solar/wind combination system. The common function is to supply [http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/BoiLu.shtml 8,900kWh]<ref>Edited by Glenn Elert, “Power Consumption of a Home”, The Physics Factbook, [Online document], 2003, [cited 2008 March 22]</ref> of power annually to the home - the average power consumption of a household in the United States. Each option has been carefully selected to satisfy this requirement. The diesel generator is one of the most widely available methods of off-grid generation. The [[w:combustion|combustion]] of diesel fuel converts chemical potential into [[w:kinetic energy|kinetic energy]] which in turn spins a generator to create electricity. The micro-hydro system implements a water turbine system to harness gravitational potential and kinetic energy of a river and convert it into rotational motion of a turbine and subsequently electricity. The solar/wind combination system utilizes sources of renewable energy to generate power through solar panels and a wind turbine. Each source relies on inputs which are intermittent in nature. The diesel generator must be refilled, the river is not always flowing at its peak, and some days are calm and cloudy. In order to provide a continuous source of power, a [[#Battery_Bank|battery bank]] system to store the electricity will be implemented. However, as this bank is required in each case, it does not aid in our comparison of power generation technologies. == Project Information == *Section: 01 *Group: 8A **Vuk Dulanovic (Vdulanovic) **David Grant (David.grant) **Andrew Demeter (Andrew.demeter) **Adam Debowski (Adam.debowski) == Highlights and Recommendations == ===Major Highlights=== ====Functional==== The micro-hydro generation system and the solar/wind combination both rely on a natural source of energy. Specifically, the micro-hydro depends on the flow rate of the river which varies seasonally, and the solar/wind combination depends on sunlight and wind speed, respectively. These natural sources are not consistent and therefore decrease the reliability of the two systems. The diesel generator is the most reliable system since it is not dependant on natural variables. ====Cost==== The table below summarizes the life cycle costs for each option. Based strictly on direct costs, the micro-hydro alternative is the best choice.

For example, by calculating the cost of a product and entering that amount into the appropriate EIOLCA sector, one can obtain the release values for toxins, green house gases and energy consumption that results from the economic activity. Using the life cycle costs for each alternative, appropriate sectors were selected within the EIOLCA software and results were obtained. EIOLCA proved to be a strong determining factor in the comparison. By considering the environmental impacts of each system, we can gain a quantitive understanding of how each system affects our ecosystem. The EIOLCA allows us to pinpoint downfalls of each alternative and consider ways in which they may be improved. The following is a graph of the releases/consumptions for each alternative as a percentage of the total releases/consumptions for all alternatives. [[Image:EIOLCA.JPG]] The following are the totals obtained from the EIOLCA analysis for each alternative. The values in bold are the worst amongst each of the alternatives.<br> <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='border-collapse:collapse;border:none;'> <tr style='padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p>Alternative</p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> SO2 ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> CO ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Nox ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> VOC ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Lead ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> PM10 ( mt) </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_2|Diesel]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.035 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.131 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.028 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.026 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.004 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_3|Micro Hydro]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0247 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.1662 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.0473''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0192 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0055 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_4|Solar/Wind]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.059''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.256''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.044 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.029''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.012''' </p> </td> </tr> </table> <table class=MsoTableGrid border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='width:442.9pt;border-collapse:collapse;border:none;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;

Solar/wind has the most toxic releases, and the highest energy consumption due to the significant energy inputs required in the manufacturing phase. In addition to this, the diesel generator option contributes the most to global warming as it is the only option that burns fossil fuels. ====SLCA==== [[Image:slca.JPG|right]] The Visual SLCA chart helps us see which alternatives are stronger in each category (the higher the score, the more environmentally friendly). In the Materials Provisioning stage of the process of power generation, the diesel generator ranks the lowest due to the amount of mining and refining required. The other alternatives require significantly less metal components. Another interesting thing to note is that the micro-hydro and solar/wind hybrid systems score the same in the Primary Process category. The reason for this is because they both satisfy the same functional requirement while affecting the environment at the same level (during the primary process). The diesel generator, on the other hand, satisfies the same functional requirements while negatively affecting the environment via the combustion of a fossil fuel. During the Secondary Process, all of the alternatives rank the same. The reason for this equality is associated with the nature of the Secondary Process, itself. In the case of supplying an off-grid home with power, the use of a battery bank to store the generated power (which will be supplied to the home in periods of wind/sun/river current lull or when the diesel generator is off) is necessary. Within the scope of this project, therefore, the Secondary Process refers to the management of power within the batter bank. Due to the fact that every alternative (within the scope of this report) is designed to function with the same batter bank, the Secondary Process for each alternative bears the same, and relatively low, impact on the environment. ====Societal==== Each of the three systems has some sort of societal effect that should be accounted for to make the best possible decision. Some possible impacts include generated noise, smell, ecological effects, increased water temperature, excavation and natural aesthetics. For the case of the diesel generator, noise was not an issue because the chosen model was part of the Quiet Diesel(QD) series. However, the smell given off by the diesel generator could perhaps be an issue to the surrounding neighbours. The societal impacts caused by the micro-hydro generation system include river damming and destruction of the surrounding ecosystem. Fish are often killed travelling down stream into the turbine or intake mesh. The increased water temperature causes changes in the biotic makeup of the water in the river. This can cause plants and algae to grow at the site. Excavation can also cause problems for the environment because pipelines must be installed underground and may disrupt animal homes or plant roots. The solar/wind combination system has very few societal effects. The most significant is the noise given off by the wind turbine during operation. This effect could be minimized by installing the fan away from the house. ===Final Recommendation=== The final recommendation for providing off-grid electricity for the cottage owner in Port Sydney, Muskoka is the micro-hydro generation system. This decision is based on the conclusion from the functional, cost, streamlined life cycle, economic input/output life cycle, and societal analyses. The major downfall of this system is observed when considering the functional analysis. This system seems to be the hardest to implement because of the excavation for the pipelines. However, when looking at the EIOLCA, micro-hydro has the least amount of GWP and also releases the least amount of toxins. Along with this system being the most environmentally friendly, it is also the cheapest. The initial cost for this system is fairly large but because it harnesses natural energy and requires no other costs other than regular maintenance. With an overall cost of $19,100 USD, micro-hydro is the cheapest of the three alternatives, with diesel costing approximately $25,000 USD and the solar/wind combination being the most expensive at approximately $30,000 USD. When taking into consideration the societal effects, a minor downfall is that it disrupts the ecology of the nearby river. However, large amounts of fish are killed only when major hydro power sites are present. In our client’s case, this is a simple and small water turbine that will not cause a large enough effect for it to be deemed dangerous. ==Additional Information== ===Baseline: Diesel Generator=== ====Functional==== The average American household uses 8,900kWh of electricity every year . The diesel generator which has been chosen (Onan 8.0 HDKAU) will output 6kW of power when running, and will burn a quarter gallon of fuel every hour .In order to supply 8,900kWh of electricity annually, the diesel generator must be left running for four hours every day. Estimating the price of fuel to be $3.75 per gallon, the generator would burn $1,500 of diesel annually. ====Cost==== <u>Initial Cost</u><br> The Onan generator has an initial cost of $7000 USD (this figure includes installation costs). The shipping cost, however, is not included in the purchase price. The location of the off-grid home (120km away from the nearest Onan distribution site) introduces a cost of roughly [http://www.freightmonster.com/index.aspx $300 USD]<ref>Get a Quote”, Freight Monster, [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 20]</ref>. <u>Maintenance Cost</u><br> The cost of maintenance has been estimated to be roughly $150 annually. The estimation has taken into account the need for very little maintenance during the first few years of the generator’s life, and an increased amount of maintenance as the generator ages. <u>Operating Cost</u><br> The cost incurred during the operation of the generator is attributed only to the cost of diesel fuel consumed by the generator. At $3.75 per gallon, the generator consumes $1,500 annually. <u>Disposal Cost</u><br> A diesel generator will generally last longer than 15 years (which is the lifetime of each alternative within the scope of this project). Therefore, there will be no real cost associated with its disposal. In fact, our cottage owner would probably be able to sell the generator for a profit, or simply have the generator taken away at no cost. If the generator was not functional at the end of its life, it would either be recycled or refurbished, neither of which have strong environmental impacts. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=674 style='width:505.3pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:11.55pt'> <td width=203 nowrap valign=top style='width:152.45pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

A diesel generator, however, is generally quieter than a gas powered generator because it outputs the same power at roughly half of the speed. Furthermore, the Onan 8.0 HDKAU is a part of Onan’s QD (Quiet Diesel) series which create much less noise pollution than other diesel generators with comparable power ratings. In fact, the 8.0 HDKAU has a decibel rating of 67dB (heard 10 feet away from the generator), which is just [http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/assumption/residential_footnotes.html slightly louder than a normal conversation between two people.]<ref>“Fuel and Energy Source Codes and Emission Coefficients”, Energy Information Administration, [Online document], 2000, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> <u>Smell</u><br> Another societal concern is the smell of burning diesel fuel. If there are neighbours nearby, they may complain about the odour. If a home is off-grid, however, there is a high probability that the area is not very populated. ===Alternative 1: Micro-hydro=== ====Functional==== A micro hydro power generation system harnesses both kinetic and gravitational potential of a river. These two sources of energy come from two characteristics of the river, the head and the flow rate. These will be discussed further in the Site Definition section. The moving water from the river is directed into a pipeline through the use of an “intake”, and fired through water jets which in turn spin a turbine blade. This rotational motion can be easily converted into electricity and stored in a battery storage system. <br><br> <u>Site Definition and Power Potential</u> The river this micro-hydro generation system will be installed on has the following characteristics: '''Head:''' 140ft (the vertical distance from the intake to the turbine) '''Peak Flow rate:''' 300gpm (the amount of water flowing through per unit time) [[Image:Microhydroplan.JPG]] In order to calculate the net head of the micro turbine system, we must subtract the head losses in the piping used from head provided by the elevation change. <p style="text-align:center;">Net head = 140ft – (300ft x 17.90ft/100ft of piping) = 86.3 ft</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Estimated Power (W) = (Net head*Flow rate)/ Efficiency Factor [12]</p> Typical efficiency Factors range from 9 to 14 depending on the system employed. For the purposes of this analysis we will use a factor of 10 which equates to [http://www.homepower.com/basics/hydro/ ~53% system efficiency]<ref>P. Cunningham and I. Woofenden, “Microhydro Electricity Basics” [Online document],[cited 2008 March 27]</ref>. This efficiency also includes the losses in the transmission lines, battery storage system, and AC inversion processes, and thus the estimated power below should be close to what the system will produce in reality. <p style="text-align:center;">'''Estimated Power = 1036 Watts <br>'''</p> <p style="text-align:center;">'''Annual Energy Output (kWh) = 9071.856 kWh'''</p> Since the annual energy requirement was set at 8900kWh per year, based on the analysis above the micro hydro system is able to meet this demand. For high-head (above 20ft) applications, it is ideal use a turbine with a [http://www.wind.appstate.edu/reports/microhydro_factsheet.pdf Turgo–type blade]<ref>“Fact Sheet: Microhydro”, Western North Carolina Renewable Energy Initiative, Appalachian State University, [Online document], 2007 January, [cited 2008 March 15]</ref>. This type of turbine blade allows for water jets to be angled at the blade instead of firing straight on. This makes it possible to increase the number of water jets, which in turn allows the turbine to handle higher flow rates. Energy Systems and Design produces a Turgo blade turbine called the Stream Engine ESD-SE-4. They are a Canadian company and therefore the prices used in the cost analysis represent a real solution that can be purchased in Canada, and not an item that is from U.S. or other markets. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=554 style='width:415.5pt;margin-left:5.4pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:13.5pt'> <td width=165 nowrap valign=bottom style='width:123.5pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

Although micro hydro systems are generally safe, and environmentally friendly, whenever a man made object is installed in nature, there are always undesirable consequences. Fish are often killed as they travel downstream and get caught in the turbine or intake mesh. It is estimated that in major hydro power sites, turbines eliminate [http://www.oceansatlas.org/servlet/CDSServlet?status=ND0xNzk4MSZjdG5faW5mb192aWV3X3NpemU9Y3RuX2luZm9fdmlld19mdWxsJjY9ZW4mMzM9KiYzNz1rb3M~ 25-73% of the juvenile and adult fish.]<ref> “UN Atlas of the Ocans” [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 26]</ref> <u>River damming</u> One issue that is important to address with micro hydro systems is the effects of river damming. Although the system being implemented above only uses an intake system and does not dam the river, similar effects are experienced - on a smaller scale. There is often an increase in temperature of the water around the dam. This results in changes to the “biotic-makeup” of the water in the river. This can affect what kind of plants and algae grow at the site. <u>Excavation</u> In addition to the river effects of the micro hydro system, there are also effects from the installation of the system due to substantial excavation for pipelines. The grading and removal of soil can disrupt animal’s homes and drive them out of an area. The running of a pipeline may also damage the root systems on trees and other plants, and may even cause them to die. ===Alternative 2: Solar/Wind=== ====Functional==== A wind and solar energy system can prove to be a quite effective source of energy to supply a small home. Typically, when it is sunny, it is calm, and when it is cloudy, it is windy. In this case, these hybrid components work hand in hand with each other to use natural power in any weather. Using only natural elements to harness energy, this system is very environmentally friendly during the usage stage of its life. Each windmill produces [http://www.alphasolar.net/alpha_solar_037.htm 1600kWh/year]<ref>“Southwest Windpower wind turbines”, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> at a wind speed of [http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/arma/climatology/speed_avg/ 8mph]<ref>“Average Wind Speed”, Climatology, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> (typical average for Muskoka). Each solar panel produces approximately [http://www.wholesalesolar.com/products.folder/module-folder/sharp/sharpND216.html 254kWh/year]<ref>“Sharp ND-208UI Solar Panel”, Wholesale Solar, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 24]</ref> under an operational efficiency of 13.3%. In order to power a house demanding 8900kWh of energy per year, one needs 4 windmills and 16 solar panels to operate at minimal output all day long. ====Cost==== The cost of both the windmills and the [[w:solar panels|solar panels]] is quite expensive. The price for one windmill is $2,425 and for one solar panel is $999. Due to the number of each needed, the total initial cost for these mechanisms becomes $25,684. This is quite expensive for an energy alternative.

The [[w:noise|noise]] given off from the windmill is the main disturbance to the homeowner using the device. To reduce this sound effect, one must deter from mounting the windmill on the roof or in close proximity of the house. Instead, securely placing the [[w:windmill|windmill]] on a nearby long steel tower and mounting it into the ground is a better idea. It is wise to secure the standing windmill tower with steel wires that are staked into the ground. ===Battery Bank=== In order to power our client’s home, the electricity generated by the different alternatives (diesel generator, micro-hydro, and wind/solar hybrid) will be stored in the battery bank. The purpose of this battery bank is to store the extra energy generated by each alternative so that power may be continuously supplied to the home by the batteries during the times when the diesel generator is not running, there is a weak current in the river, or there is minimal wind/sun. This is due to the intermittent nature of the sources. There are three possibilities for the flow of electricity within the system as shown below. <br><br> [[Image:Batterybank.JPG]] <br><br> <u>Exclusion from Comparison</u><br> The battery bank has not been included in the individual analysis of each alternative because the battery bank that will be used is not dependent upon the method of power generation. That is, each alternative will function with the very same battery bank, and therefore no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ the various impacts of the battery bank are, the consideration of these impacts will not aid in the comparison of the three alternatives of power generation discussed in this report. This section of the report is dedicated to providing a potential off-grid home owner with the necessary economic information and environmental impacts pertaining to the implementation of a battery bank. <br><br> <u>Functionality and Cost</u><br> For backup and emergency purposes we will require that 2 days worth of electricity must be stored in a battery bank to supply the home when power is not being generated. In order to satisfy this requirement, 21 [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/Amazing/itemdesc.asp?CartId={98A039DE-9DF0-409A-ACF3-06FEVEREST537C57778}&ic=EV%2D216&eq=&Tp= AGM sealed batteries]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> will be used. Totaling to an initial cost of nearly [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/ $20,000]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref>, the battery bank is not a cheap component of off-grid power generation. However, it should be noted that the AGM batteries are rated to last over 20 years. ==Notes and References== <references /> [[Category:Design for the Environment]] fkf8raf87zlcxkcqri07ea98cz9n2az 2807959 2807958 2026-05-08T17:37:10Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807959 wikitext text/x-wiki one might take for granted the fact that we live amongst a full [[w:infrastructure|infrastructure]] of power distribution and we can find [[w:electricity|electricity ]] wherever we go. However, in some remote locations, this luxury may not be available. There is a need for alternative methods of power generation to supply electricity to a home operating off-grid. In order to shed light on the options available, a comparison between power generation options for a single family home located in Port Sydney, [[w:Muskoka|Muskoka]] will be made. Off-grid power is not cheap, and unfortunately empty pockets are not the only cost. In the age of limited sources of energy, strict regulations and an increasing awareness for our impact as humans on our planet, this analysis will compare each alternative over a 15 year life-cycle and focus on the environmental impacts. Three options for generation will be considered: a [[w:diesel generator|diesel generator]] (baseline), a [[w:micro hydro|micro hydro]] system, and a solar/wind combination system. The common function is to supply [http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/BoiLu.shtml 8,900kWh]<ref>Edited by Glenn Elert, “Power Consumption of a Home”, The Physics Factbook, [Online document], 2003, [cited 2008 March 22]</ref> of power annually to the home - the average power consumption of a household in the United States. Each option has been carefully selected to satisfy this requirement. The diesel generator is one of the most widely available methods of off-grid generation. The [[w:combustion|combustion]] of diesel fuel converts chemical potential into [[w:kinetic energy|kinetic energy]] which in turn spins a generator to create electricity. The micro-hydro system implements a water turbine system to harness gravitational potential and kinetic energy of a river and convert it into rotational motion of a turbine and subsequently electricity. The solar/wind combination system utilizes sources of renewable energy to generate power through solar panels and a wind turbine. Each source relies on inputs which are intermittent in nature. The diesel generator must be refilled, the river is not always flowing at its peak, and some days are calm and cloudy. In order to provide a continuous source of power, a [[#Battery_Bank|battery bank]] system to store the electricity will be implemented. However, as this bank is required in each case, it does not aid in our comparison of power generation technologies. == Project Information == *Section: 01 *Group: 8A **Vuk Dulanovic (Vdulanovic) **David Grant (David.grant) **Andrew Demeter (Andrew.demeter) **Adam Debowski (Adam.debowski) == Highlights and Recommendations == ===Major Highlights=== ====Functional==== The micro-hydro generation system and the solar/wind combination both rely on a natural source of energy. Specifically, the micro-hydro depends on the flow rate of the river which varies seasonally, and the solar/wind combination depends on sunlight and wind speed, respectively. These natural sources are not consistent and therefore decrease the reliability of the two systems. The diesel generator is the most reliable system since it is not dependant on natural variables. ====Cost==== The table below summarizes the life cycle costs for each option. Based strictly on direct costs, the micro-hydro alternative is the best choice.

For example, by calculating the cost of a product and entering that amount into the appropriate EIOLCA sector, one can obtain the release values for toxins, green house gases and energy consumption that results from the economic activity. Using the life cycle costs for each alternative, appropriate sectors were selected within the EIOLCA software and results were obtained. EIOLCA proved to be a strong determining factor in the comparison. By considering the environmental impacts of each system, we can gain a quantitive understanding of how each system affects our ecosystem. The EIOLCA allows us to pinpoint downfalls of each alternative and consider ways in which they may be improved. The following is a graph of the releases/consumptions for each alternative as a percentage of the total releases/consumptions for all alternatives. [[Image:EIOLCA.JPG]] The following are the totals obtained from the EIOLCA analysis for each alternative. The values in bold are the worst amongst each of the alternatives.<br> <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='border-collapse:collapse;border:none;'> <tr style='padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p>Alternative</p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> SO2 ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> CO ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Nox ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> VOC ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> Lead ( mt) </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> PM10 ( mt) </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_2|Diesel]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.035 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.131 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.028 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.026 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.004 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_3|Micro Hydro]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0247 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.1662 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.0473''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0192 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.0055 </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='border-top:none;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <td> <p> [[#EIOLCA_4|Solar/Wind]] </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.059''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.256''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0.044 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.029''' </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> 0 </p> </td> <td valign=top style='border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <p> '''0.012''' </p> </td> </tr> </table> <table class=MsoTableGrid border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=591 style='width:442.9pt;border-collapse:collapse;border:none;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;

Solar/wind has the most toxic releases, and the highest energy consumption due to the significant energy inputs required in the manufacturing phase. In addition to this, the diesel generator option contributes the most to global warming as it is the only option that burns fossil fuels. ====SLCA==== [[Image:slca.JPG|right]] The Visual SLCA chart helps us see which alternatives are stronger in each category (the higher the score, the more environmentally friendly). In the Materials Provisioning stage of the process of power generation, the diesel generator ranks the lowest due to the amount of mining and refining required. The other alternatives require significantly less metal components. Another interesting thing to note is that the micro-hydro and solar/wind hybrid systems score the same in the Primary Process category. The reason for this is because they both satisfy the same functional requirement while affecting the environment at the same level (during the primary process). The diesel generator, on the other hand, satisfies the same functional requirements while negatively affecting the environment via the combustion of a fossil fuel. During the Secondary Process, all of the alternatives rank the same. The reason for this equality is associated with the nature of the Secondary Process, itself. In the case of supplying an off-grid home with power, the use of a battery bank to store the generated power (which will be supplied to the home in periods of wind/sun/river current lull or when the diesel generator is off) is necessary. Within the scope of this project, therefore, the Secondary Process refers to the management of power within the batter bank. Due to the fact that every alternative (within the scope of this report) is designed to function with the same batter bank, the Secondary Process for each alternative bears the same, and relatively low, impact on the environment. ====Societal==== Each of the three systems has some sort of societal effect that should be accounted for to make the best possible decision. Some possible impacts include generated noise, smell, ecological effects, increased water temperature, excavation and natural aesthetics. For the case of the diesel generator, noise was not an issue because the chosen model was part of the Quiet Diesel(QD) series. However, the smell given off by the diesel generator could perhaps be an issue to the surrounding neighbours. The societal impacts caused by the micro-hydro generation system include river damming and destruction of the surrounding ecosystem. Fish are often killed travelling down stream into the turbine or intake mesh. The increased water temperature causes changes in the biotic makeup of the water in the river. This can cause plants and algae to grow at the site. Excavation can also cause problems for the environment because pipelines must be installed underground and may disrupt animal homes or plant roots. The solar/wind combination system has very few societal effects. The most significant is the noise given off by the wind turbine during operation. This effect could be minimized by installing the fan away from the house. ===Final Recommendation=== The final recommendation for providing off-grid electricity for the cottage owner in Port Sydney, Muskoka is the micro-hydro generation system. This decision is based on the conclusion from the functional, cost, streamlined life cycle, economic input/output life cycle, and societal analyses. The major downfall of this system is observed when considering the functional analysis. This system seems to be the hardest to implement because of the excavation for the pipelines. However, when looking at the EIOLCA, micro-hydro has the least amount of GWP and also releases the least amount of toxins. Along with this system being the most environmentally friendly, it is also the cheapest. The initial cost for this system is fairly large but because it harnesses natural energy and requires no other costs other than regular maintenance. With an overall cost of $19,100 USD, micro-hydro is the cheapest of the three alternatives, with diesel costing approximately $25,000 USD and the solar/wind combination being the most expensive at approximately $30,000 USD. When taking into consideration the societal effects, a minor downfall is that it disrupts the ecology of the nearby river. However, large amounts of fish are killed only when major hydro power sites are present. In our client’s case, this is a simple and small water turbine that will not cause a large enough effect for it to be deemed dangerous. ==Additional Information== ===Baseline: Diesel Generator=== ====Functional==== The average American household uses 8,900kWh of electricity every year . The diesel generator which has been chosen (Onan 8.0 HDKAU) will output 6kW of power when running, and will burn a quarter gallon of fuel every hour .In order to supply 8,900kWh of electricity annually, the diesel generator must be left running for four hours every day. Estimating the price of fuel to be $3.75 per gallon, the generator would burn $1,500 of diesel annually. ====Cost==== <u>Initial Cost</u><br> The Onan generator has an initial cost of $7000 USD (this figure includes installation costs). The shipping cost, however, is not included in the purchase price. The location of the off-grid home (120km away from the nearest Onan distribution site) introduces a cost of roughly [http://www.freightmonster.com/index.aspx $300 USD]<ref>Get a Quote”, Freight Monster, [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 20]</ref>. <u>Maintenance Cost</u><br> The cost of maintenance has been estimated to be roughly $150 annually. The estimation has taken into account the need for very little maintenance during the first few years of the generator’s life, and an increased amount of maintenance as the generator ages. <u>Operating Cost</u><br> The cost incurred during the operation of the generator is attributed only to the cost of diesel fuel consumed by the generator. At $3.75 per gallon, the generator consumes $1,500 annually. <u>Disposal Cost</u><br> A diesel generator will generally last longer than 15 years (which is the lifetime of each alternative within the scope of this project). Therefore, there will be no real cost associated with its disposal. In fact, our cottage owner would probably be able to sell the generator for a profit, or simply have the generator taken away at no cost. If the generator was not functional at the end of its life, it would either be recycled or refurbished, neither of which have strong environmental impacts. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=674 style='width:505.3pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:11.55pt'> <td width=203 nowrap valign=top style='width:152.45pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

A diesel generator, however, is generally quieter than a gas powered generator because it outputs the same power at roughly half of the speed. Furthermore, the Onan 8.0 HDKAU is a part of Onan’s QD (Quiet Diesel) series which create much less noise pollution than other diesel generators with comparable power ratings. In fact, the 8.0 HDKAU has a decibel rating of 67dB (heard 10 feet away from the generator), which is just [http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/assumption/residential_footnotes.html slightly louder than a normal conversation between two people.]<ref>“Fuel and Energy Source Codes and Emission Coefficients”, Energy Information Administration, [Online document], 2000, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> <u>Smell</u><br> Another societal concern is the smell of burning diesel fuel. If there are neighbours nearby, they may complain about the odour. If a home is off-grid, however, there is a high probability that the area is not very populated. ===Alternative 1: Micro-hydro=== ====Functional==== A micro hydro power generation system harnesses both kinetic and gravitational potential of a river. These two sources of energy come from two characteristics of the river, the head and the flow rate. These will be discussed further in the Site Definition section. The moving water from the river is directed into a pipeline through the use of an “intake”, and fired through water jets which in turn spin a turbine blade. This rotational motion can be easily converted into electricity and stored in a battery storage system. <br><br> <u>Site Definition and Power Potential</u> The river this micro-hydro generation system will be installed on has the following characteristics: '''Head:''' 140ft (the vertical distance from the intake to the turbine) '''Peak Flow rate:''' 300gpm (the amount of water flowing through per unit time) [[Image:Microhydroplan.JPG]] In order to calculate the net head of the micro turbine system, we must subtract the head losses in the piping used from head provided by the elevation change. <p style="text-align:center;">Net head = 140ft – (300ft x 17.90ft/100ft of piping) = 86.3 ft</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Estimated Power (W) = (Net head*Flow rate)/ Efficiency Factor [12]</p> Typical efficiency Factors range from 9 to 14 depending on the system employed. For the purposes of this analysis we will use a factor of 10 which equates to [http://www.homepower.com/basics/hydro/ ~53% system efficiency]<ref>P. Cunningham and I. Woofenden, “Microhydro Electricity Basics” [Online document],[cited 2008 March 27]</ref>. This efficiency also includes the losses in the transmission lines, battery storage system, and AC inversion processes, and thus the estimated power below should be close to what the system will produce in reality. <p style="text-align:center;">'''Estimated Power = 1036 Watts <br>'''</p> <p style="text-align:center;">'''Annual Energy Output (kWh) = 9071.856 kWh'''</p> Since the annual energy requirement was set at 8900kWh per year, based on the analysis above the micro hydro system is able to meet this demand. For high-head (above 20ft) applications, it is ideal use a turbine with a [http://www.wind.appstate.edu/reports/microhydro_factsheet.pdf Turgo–type blade]<ref>“Fact Sheet: Microhydro”, Western North Carolina Renewable Energy Initiative, Appalachian State University, [Online document], 2007 January, [cited 2008 March 15]</ref>. This type of turbine blade allows for water jets to be angled at the blade instead of firing straight on. This makes it possible to increase the number of water jets, which in turn allows the turbine to handle higher flow rates. Energy Systems and Design produces a Turgo blade turbine called the Stream Engine ESD-SE-4. They are a Canadian company and therefore the prices used in the cost analysis represent a real solution that can be purchased in Canada, and not an item that is from U.S. or other markets. ====EIOLCA==== <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=554 style='width:415.5pt;margin-left:5.4pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:13.5pt'> <td width=165 nowrap valign=bottom style='width:123.5pt;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;

Although micro hydro systems are generally safe, and environmentally friendly, whenever a man made object is installed in nature, there are always undesirable consequences. Fish are often killed as they travel downstream and get caught in the turbine or intake mesh. It is estimated that in major hydro power sites, turbines eliminate [http://www.oceansatlas.org/servlet/CDSServlet?status=ND0xNzk4MSZjdG5faW5mb192aWV3X3NpemU9Y3RuX2luZm9fdmlld19mdWxsJjY9ZW4mMzM9KiYzNz1rb3M~ 25-73% of the juvenile and adult fish.]<ref> “UN Atlas of the Ocans” [Online document], 2008, [cited 2008 March 26]</ref> <u>River damming</u> One issue that is important to address with micro hydro systems is the effects of river damming. Although the system being implemented above only uses an intake system and does not dam the river, similar effects are experienced - on a smaller scale. There is often an increase in temperature of the water around the dam. This results in changes to the “biotic-makeup” of the water in the river. This can affect what kind of plants and algae grow at the site. <u>Excavation</u> In addition to the river effects of the micro hydro system, there are also effects from the installation of the system due to substantial excavation for pipelines. The grading and removal of soil can disrupt animal’s homes and drive them out of an area. The running of a pipeline may also damage the root systems on trees and other plants, and may even cause them to die. ===Alternative 2: Solar/Wind=== ====Functional==== A wind and solar energy system can prove to be a quite effective source of energy to supply a small home. Typically, when it is sunny, it is calm, and when it is cloudy, it is windy. In this case, these hybrid components work hand in hand with each other to use natural power in any weather. Using only natural elements to harness energy, this system is very environmentally friendly during the usage stage of its life. Each windmill produces [http://www.alphasolar.net/alpha_solar_037.htm 1600kWh/year]<ref>“Southwest Windpower wind turbines”, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> at a wind speed of [http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/arma/climatology/speed_avg/ 8mph]<ref>“Average Wind Speed”, Climatology, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 23]</ref> (typical average for Muskoka). Each solar panel produces approximately [http://www.wholesalesolar.com/products.folder/module-folder/sharp/sharpND216.html 254kWh/year]<ref>“Sharp ND-208UI Solar Panel”, Wholesale Solar, [Online document], [cited 2008 March 24]</ref> under an operational efficiency of 13.3%. In order to power a house demanding 8900kWh of energy per year, one needs 4 windmills and 16 solar panels to operate at minimal output all day long. ====Cost==== The cost of both the windmills and the [[w:solar panels|solar panels]] is quite expensive. The price for one windmill is $2,425 and for one solar panel is $999. Due to the number of each needed, the total initial cost for these mechanisms becomes $25,684. This is quite expensive for an energy alternative.

The [[w:noise|noise]] given off from the windmill is the main disturbance to the homeowner using the device. To reduce this sound effect, one must deter from mounting the windmill on the roof or in close proximity of the house. Instead, securely placing the [[w:windmill|windmill]] on a nearby long steel tower and mounting it into the ground is a better idea. It is wise to secure the standing windmill tower with steel wires that are staked into the ground. ===Battery Bank=== In order to power our client’s home, the electricity generated by the different alternatives (diesel generator, micro-hydro, and wind/solar hybrid) will be stored in the battery bank. The purpose of this battery bank is to store the extra energy generated by each alternative so that power may be continuously supplied to the home by the batteries during the times when the diesel generator is not running, there is a weak current in the river, or there is minimal wind/sun. This is due to the intermittent nature of the sources. There are three possibilities for the flow of electricity within the system as shown below. <br><br> [[Image:Batterybank.JPG]] <br><br> <u>Exclusion from Comparison</u><br> The battery bank has not been included in the individual analysis of each alternative because the battery bank that will be used is not dependent upon the method of power generation. That is, each alternative will function with the very same battery bank, and therefore no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ the various impacts of the battery bank are, the consideration of these impacts will not aid in the comparison of the three alternatives of power generation discussed in this report. This section of the report is dedicated to providing a potential off-grid home owner with the necessary economic information and environmental impacts pertaining to the implementation of a battery bank. <br><br> <u>Functionality and Cost</u><br> For backup and emergency purposes we will require that 2 days worth of electricity must be stored in a battery bank to supply the home when power is not being generated. In order to satisfy this requirement, 21 [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/Amazing/itemdesc.asp?CartId={98A039DE-9DF0-409A-ACF3-06FEVEREST537C57778}&ic=EV%2D216&eq=&Tp= AGM sealed batteries]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref> will be used. Totaling to an initial cost of nearly [http://www.energyalternatives.ca/ $20,000]<ref>“Energy Alternatives”, [Online document], Energy Alternatives, [cited 2008 March 21]</ref>, the battery bank is not a cheap component of off-grid power generation. However, it should be noted that the AGM batteries are rated to last over 20 years. ==Notes and References== <references /> [[Category:Design for the Environment]] s132ez2pq2gz5clfvgh8ikdff2tdb9l Brezhoneg C'hwec'h/Lesson 2 0 58933 2807933 2214595 2026-05-08T16:48:20Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807933 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Breton}} {| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width: 99%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" | style="background-color: PapayaWhip;{{Text default color}}; border: 1px solid #777777; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" colspan="2" | == Irregular verbs / The Past Tense == === "To have" / "Kaout" or "Endevout" === {{center top}} {| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="2" style="text-align:center; font-size:100%" |+ '''Irregular Verb Endevout / Kaout (''To have'') - Past''' |-style="background:LightGrey; color:Brown" !

Quoting from the reference: <blockquote> There are enormous benefits of applying AI-based solutions to monitor workers’ health and prevent accidents or, currently, COVID-19 infections, and those benefits are reported with enormous potential. According to the recent Deloitte and MedTech Europe report [11], implementing AI in European healthcare systems could save up 380,000 to 403,000 lives annually or €170.9 to 212.4 billion per year. </blockquote> Not that the reference says ''could save'', not ''saves'' as in the essay.

In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. ::::::The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. :::::: == Theoretical foundations == ::::::The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: ::::::* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. ::::::* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. ::::::* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. ::::::Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. :::::: == Experiential empiricism == ::::::The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: ::::::* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. ::::::* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). ::::::* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. ::::::* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. ::::::All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. ::::::I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. ::::::Best regards, ::::::Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] ([[User talk:Senad Dizdarević|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Senad Dizdarević|contribs]]) 06:54, 2 April 2026 (UTC) == Unable to publish pages == Whenever I try to publish a page with linked sources it gets flagged and says I'm a new user attempting to publish content with outside links.

Myself and students use some AI-generated images in the [[Motivation and emotion]] project. [[User:Dronebogus]] has been removing some of these images from Wikiversity pages and nominating them for deletion at Commons. As a result, some have been deleted and some have been kept. Dronebogus has made some useful edits and image suggestions for [[Motivation and emotion]] which I've appreciated and incorporated. However, there are other edits to remove an AI image by Dronebogus that I've reverted where I think the image is more educational than no image or an alternative image suggested by Dronebogus. There are a couple of pages where Dronebogus has reverted my reversion, so we are at risk of edit warring. We have briefly discussed and warned each other on our user talk pages, but it seems to come down to a difference in perception about the educational usefulness of the AI images. So, I'm asking here for others to please review the recent edit histories for these pages: * [[Motivation and emotion/Lectures/Brain and physiological needs]] * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2025/Stockholm syndrome emotion]] and let us know what you think about the AI image suitability vs. using no image or alternative images suggested by Dronebogus.

In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. ::::::The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. :::::: == Theoretical foundations == ::::::The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: ::::::* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. ::::::* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. ::::::* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. ::::::Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. :::::: == Experiential empiricism == ::::::The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: ::::::* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. ::::::* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). ::::::* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. ::::::* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. ::::::All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. ::::::I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. ::::::Best regards, ::::::Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] ([[User talk:Senad Dizdarević|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Senad Dizdarević|contribs]]) 06:54, 2 April 2026 (UTC) == Unable to publish pages == Whenever I try to publish a page with linked sources it gets flagged and says I'm a new user attempting to publish content with outside links.

Take for rexample the sentence: <blockquote> Due to its efficiency, AI has saved 380,000-403,000 lives per year in European healthcare as reported in a recent Deloitte and MedTech Europe report<ref>Dantas, C., Mackiewicz, K., Tageo, V., Jacucci, G., Guardado, D., Ortet, S., Varlamis, I., Maniadakis, M., De Lera, E., Quintas, J., Kocsis, O., & Vassiliou, C.

Quoting from the reference: <blockquote> There are enormous benefits of applying AI-based solutions to monitor workers’ health and prevent accidents or, currently, COVID-19 infections, and those benefits are reported with enormous potential. According to the recent Deloitte and MedTech Europe report [11], implementing AI in European healthcare systems could save up 380,000 to 403,000 lives annually or €170.9 to 212.4 billion per year. </blockquote> Not that the reference says ''could save'', not ''saves'' as in the essay. This calls into question the reliability of the essay. </blockquote> Could an administrator make this addition for me?

In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. ::::::The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. :::::: == Theoretical foundations == ::::::The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: ::::::* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. ::::::* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. ::::::* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. ::::::Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. :::::: == Experiential empiricism == ::::::The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: ::::::* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. ::::::* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). ::::::* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. ::::::* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. ::::::All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. ::::::I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. ::::::Best regards, ::::::Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] ([[User talk:Senad Dizdarević|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Senad Dizdarević|contribs]]) 06:54, 2 April 2026 (UTC) == Unable to publish pages == Whenever I try to publish a page with linked sources it gets flagged and says I'm a new user attempting to publish content with outside links.

With the help of the internet and digital tools, students can now study, practice, and gain experience without being physically present in a classroom. One key part of this system is the online internship, which helps students learn real-world skills along with their studies. ::An online internship allows students to work on tasks and projects through digital platforms. This makes learning more practical and useful, especially for those who want to understand how real work environments function. ::'''Background''' ::The concept of online learning developed from distance education, where students learned from remote locations. Over time, with the growth of digital technology, learning has become more interactive and flexible. ::The introduction of the online internship has added another important layer to digital education. It combines theoretical learning with practical experience, helping students prepare for future careers. ::During global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, online education and online internship programs became essential. They helped students continue learning and gaining experience despite restrictions on physical movement. ::'''Importance of Online Internship''' ::An online internship plays an important role in student development. It helps bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical skills. ::'''Some key points include:''' ::Students understand how real work is done ::They develop basic professional skills ::It supports career readiness ::It allows learning without location limits ::By participating in an online internship, students can improve their confidence and gain early exposure to different fields. ::'''Features of Online Internship-Based Learning''' ::Modern education platforms often include online internship opportunities as part of their learning system. These usually offer: ::Flexible schedules for students ::Access to learning from home ::Beginner-friendly tasks and projects ::A combination of theory and practice ::Such features make online internship programs suitable for a wide range of learners, including beginners. ::'''Learning Tasks''' ::Explore how online internship programs support student learning in digital environments. ::Identify how students can gain practical experience through an online internship ::Analyze the role of flexible learning in improving student engagement ::Understand how online education and internships work together ::'''References''' ::[https://ijpsl.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/E-Learning_Hanaaya-Navaneeth.pdf The Past, Present and Future of E-Learning: Hanaaya Varyani and Navaneeth M S] ::[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9788102 Current Trends and Future Perspectives of e-Learning in India] ::'''See Also''' ::[https://easyshiksha.com/online_courses/internship Online Internship] ::[https://easyshiksha.com/online_courses/ Online Courses] ::[https://easyshiksha.com/online_courses/kids-learning Kids Learning] ::[https://easyshiksha.com/career_helper/ Career Guidance] [[User:EasyshikshaMarketing|EasyshikshaMarketing]] ([[User talk:EasyshikshaMarketing|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/EasyshikshaMarketing|contribs]]) 05:27, 17 April 2026 (UTC) :::@[[User:EasyshikshaMarketing|EasyshikshaMarketing]] Wikiversity is a resource for education, or a space for education.

Myself and students use some AI-generated images in the [[Motivation and emotion]] project. [[User:Dronebogus]] has been removing some of these images from Wikiversity pages and nominating them for deletion at Commons. As a result, some have been deleted and some have been kept. Dronebogus has made some useful edits and image suggestions for [[Motivation and emotion]] which I've appreciated and incorporated. However, there are other edits to remove an AI image by Dronebogus that I've reverted where I think the image is more educational than no image or an alternative image suggested by Dronebogus. There are a couple of pages where Dronebogus has reverted my reversion, so we are at risk of edit warring. We have briefly discussed and warned each other on our user talk pages, but it seems to come down to a difference in perception about the educational usefulness of the AI images. So, I'm asking here for others to please review the recent edit histories for these pages: * [[Motivation and emotion/Lectures/Brain and physiological needs]] * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2025/Stockholm syndrome emotion]] and let us know what you think about the AI image suitability vs. using no image or alternative images suggested by Dronebogus.

However, there is considerable convergence of academic understanding of the term as it relates to the question most analysts would like to see answered: how are we to understand the brain's elctrochemical activity and self-reflective cognitive experience as being related? In other words, how does the brain turn material processes into the thoughts, feelings, and technicolor panorama that characterizes conscious experience? In this question (technically refered to as "The Hard Problem of Consciousness"), consciousness is understood (defined) as not merely a self-reflective state of cognition, but as cognitive content (perceptions, feelings, thoughts) self-reflectively experienced. One of the problems that has added to the confusion associated with this concept, is the idea that somehow there needed to be a 1 to 1 match between the electrochemical activity of the brain, and the self-reflective experiences. Recent conceptions have relaxed from this position suggesting that self-relfective experience is not a good indicator of brain function because it is prone to some illusions that make it subjective. Up until 1990 when John Searle, an influential American philosopher, finally agreed that as long as testing was done in the 3rd person, objective science could be done on consciousness, research on consciousness was actively discouraged. Since that time, a broad spectrum of theories has been proposed to account for self-reflective cognition. Following the nineteenth century phenomenologists, some have suggested that mental representation as such is inherently self-cognizant and thereby underwrites consciousness <ref>Neisser, U (1976).

Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22, 127-148</ref>. However, in order to account for the fact that much if not most cognition is not conscious, most theories nominate a specific process that operates upon representational cognition to render it conscious. Such theories include the linguistic coding of representational content <ref> Edelman, G.M. (1989). The remembered present: a biological theory of consciousness.

''If a Lion Could Talk: Animal Intelligence and the Evolution of Consciousness.'' 1998. The Free Press, NY.</ref> Alternatively, it has been argued that the recursive circuitry underwriting consciousness is much more primitive, having evolved initially in pre-mammalian species because it improves the capacity for interaction with both social ''and'' natural environments by providing an energy saving "neutral" gear in an otherwise energy expensive motor output machine.<ref>Peters, Frederic "Consciousness as Recursive, Spatiotemporal Self-Location" http://precedings.nature.com/documents/2444/version/1</ref> Once in place, this recursive circuitry may well have provided a basis for the subsequent development of many of the functions which consciousness facilitates in higher organisms, as outlined by Bernard J. Baars.<ref>Baars, Bernard J. ''A Cognitive Theory of Consciousness.'' 1993. Cambridge University Press.</ref> While all this may be true, a case can also be made that consciousness is an architectural factor probably associated with the development of certain vertebrate phyla such as mammals and birds, and especially Simmian species, some of which have shown facility with language that while not as sophisticated as humans, still allows them some communication potential. In this theoretical framework, consciousness can be seen to be the result of a specific architecture of control mechanism perhaps based on a specific memory architecture. In any case consciousness can be separated into two types of consciousness, Primary Consciousness which most animals are thought to have, and Higher Order consciousness which it is thought only humans have. However no significant difference in brain architecture has been found to explain the <ref> Bernard J.

Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:— <!-- Repeal all acts that give primacy to the EU, and to Parliament in the UK and assert the prime authority for any act is the will of the people. That means to repeal sections of the Act of Union 1707, and to Madzimbamuto v Lardner-Burke [1969] which would need over turning in the process. These principles need to be repealed: - Parliament can make law concerning anything. - No Parliament can bind a future parliament (that is, it cannot pass a law that cannot be changed or reversed by a future Parliament). - A valid Act of Parliament cannot be questioned by the court. Parliament is the supreme lawmaker. And replaced by: - Any acts made by Parliament can only be enforced if ratified by the people. Re-affirm the right of the people to partake in the totally unrestricted dissemination of political views across the entire spectrum of same by scrapping all laws purporting to limit this ancient right in any way. Reverse all procedural changes to the process of trial on Indictment and all other limitations to the ancient right to trial by jury. These measures have increased the chances of wrongful convictions of the innocent and wrongful acquittal of the guilty. Proposals to hold special trials for so-called 'complex cases' heard by a judge and two 'lay experts' are highly likely to result in wrongful acquittals of well-connected, corrupt individuals and if the truth be known, is the driving force behind the political will to introduce them. --> <!-- == please add the correct Acts : The enabling acts for the European Human Rights bill The apparently illegal Act repealing Habeas Corpus and Magna Carta Any act presuming to (illegally) amend or revoke any item in the 1689 Bill of Rights Use of Mobile Phone whist driving - the exist laws regarding Driving without due care and attention and Dangerous driving are more than adequate to cover this --> == Extent, commencement, transitional provision and short title == (1) This Act extends to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.<br> (2) An amendment or repeal contained in this Act has the same extent as the Act or instrument or relevant part of the Act or instrument to which the amendment or repeal relates (ignoring extent by virtue of an Order in Council).<br> (3) This Act comes into force at the end of the period of six months beginning from the date of Royal Assent.

Its framers were, I think, more concerned with industrial accidents and safety on construction sites than they were with the relatively benign office environments in which many of us work, and its extension and intrusion into other areas is the main source of problems. For instance, there are now training courses for using ladders. Far too often this legislation is now used as a basis for compensation claims and there is too little personal responsibility.

It indicates paying less heed to highly unlikely events, although this does not appear to have been heeded by courts or by council officers. Agree: Have worked in the industry.

The inability of poor business practice to support health and provide safety in the workplace dates to 1802. The Great Repeal Bill will have a lot of good work to do without bogging it down in abolishing Victorian Legislation just because Businesses refuse to take personal responsibility for safety seriously.

If it happens, it needs to occur in a government prepared to dramatically reduce the responsibilities and burdens on the state, which is unlikely. Also believe indirect taxation such as this will be unpopular, as it creates the impression that things are more expensive than they in fact are. Poorer people spend a far greater proportion of their income on goods, rather than savings, investments, mortgages, therefore this is a recessive tax. Having a local tax will mean much lower government income in poorer area, with money going to already relatively wealthy areas.

This sort of legislation more suited to 1950s and 60s when racial discrimination and racism still a factor in public life.

Actually damaged race relations in the United Kingdom in a way the far milder and more appropriate Race Relations Act 1965 did not in that it encouraged members of ethnic minorities who might previously have only suspected prejudicial treatment to band together into "communities" and go hunting for it, setting themselves against the native (for lack of a better term) population. Separation from the wider community was incentivised as unintegrated "communities" regarded as homogenous by outsiders became better able to campaign for preferential treatment and increased "group rights" than the individual who regarded himself as British first. As well as ghettoising ethnic minorities, all this has an equally unwelcome effect on member of the ethnic minority, who have been taught to resent and fear (particulary with regard to potential litigation) members of ethnic minorities even where their history in Britain goes back three or four generations.

Private companies/organisations should never have the right to bar/disconnect someone from anything. This should be a matter for the courts, and not industry. Also, ISPs should not have to police the internet when they are merely carriers of data, which privacy laws prohibit them from accessing. This clause repeals the parts of the Act that deal with this issue. See also the Communications Act 2003 under the consequential amendments section.<br><br> ''Disagree'' - private companies should certainly have the right to terminate or suspend contracts with their customers, subject to the terms of those contracts. Currently most ISPs' Terms of Service ''already state'' that use of their networks for copyright infringement is forbidden, and their contracts also already contain clauses allowing them to terminate or suspend services for ToS violations. The notion that for some reason the courts should be required in this decision is one promulgated by pro-piracy ISPs who don't want to terminate or suspend their customers and know that most complaints come from entities outside the legal jurisdiction that covers them, so demanding court orders will usually result in the complaint going away. Further, the Digital Economy Bill ''does not'' say that customers will be cut-off. It says that ISPs will have to send notices to their subscribers if they are repeatedly notified of copyright infringement, that they will be required to keep track of who they have notified and how many times, and that copyright holders will be able to request anonymised information from ISPs relating to the customers who have been sent the largest number of notifications. There is nothing wrong with the ISP coming to a view as to whether alleged infringement is genuine or not, in the same way that there is nothing wrong with someone telling someone else off for dropping litter on the street. The courts only need to be involved if there is a dispute, and in that situation it should be the contract between ISP and customer that is the basis for litigation. Finally, I'll add that I don't think the anti-piracy part of the Digital Economy Bill will work, but I also don't think it's some kind of unjustifiable infringement of ISPs' customers' rights. For one thing, one ISP barring them doesn't mean the whole Internet is inaccessible - there are many ISPs, and there are always public terminals in libraries, internet cafés and other public places that they can use. Banning them completely from the Internet is an entirely different matter and would, of course, require an injunction from a court, ''but that is not what the Digital Economy Bill proposes, even in the case that the Secretary of State directs Ofcom to take further steps to curb piracy''. }} {{/entry | clause = 22. | bill = Finance Act 2008 | parts = S58(4) | reason = This section of the 2008 Finance Act is an apparently innocuous piece of legislation that closes a tax loophole in the Dual Taxation Treaty between the UK and the Isle of Man. The referenced clause however reads : "(4) The amendments made by subsections (1) to (3) are treated as always having had effect." This effectively renders the closure retrospective, making income that was not previously taxable subject to full income tax. This is unprecendented and, as well as being widely condemned by such bodies as the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Joint Committee of Human Rights, exposes several thousand freelance workers to huge tax demands. Many of these people will be made bankrupt by this clause, most of them ordinary people with families who risk losing their homes. During the committee stage of the Finance Act, both the Lib Dems and Conservatives opposed the retrospective element of this bill, tabling amendments to close the loophole but with only prospective effect.

To the extent this protects shop workers from abuse, update employment law to ensure a shop worker's employment must allow for a regular one day a week off for (or in lieu of) religious belief.

Prohibiting drugs does not, as said above, mean your body belongs to the "state", but recognises that an individuals' choices, actions and lifestyles are not made in isolation. Further, decriminalising drug use would only benefit middle-class teenagers who's parents care enough to get them to rehab, or at least to pay enough to cover up their drug-caused shortcomings. It would do nothing to help the millions of working-class poor who regularly use drugs, who are often from backgrounds that do not enable recovery, and from areas of economic hardship that only encourages drug-dealing and drug use as an alternative to real society. Decriminalising drug use would only encourage the atomisation of society and confirm the abandonment of large numbers of working class Britons to their fate to benefit the spoiled children of middle class professionals. || |- |36. ||Drugs Act 2005 ||Section 21 ||Included as an "add-on" a worthless restriction on sale of natural psylocybin mushrooms, a low risk item with almost no social issues and less toxic than aspirin.

It is probably the single biggest cause of social breakdown in Britain, since it has made it almost impossible for any adult to discipline or even criticise a child without fear of legal redress{{fact}}. It also created the Child Support Agency (CSA), since dissolved. Repeal the entire act and then start over again, using our brains and experience of what happens when you give power to children and take it away from adults. Agree: Children needs rules and discipline, an appreciation of authority and their duties to society and the nation. However, must be recognised that repealing this Act alone with not solve the problems of indiscipline. This can only be solved by measures to tackle family breakdown and lack of community cohesion. || |- ||38. ||The Childrens Act 2004 ||The entire Act ||This Act amended the Childrens Act 1989, making matters worse. An unintended consequence was to place more blame on local authorities for the failings of parents of children placed on the protection register, so that (especially after Baby P) they are exceptionally over-sensitive to potential risk and errors or accusations of incompetence. The result introduces bureaucracy, drives away or straitjackets competent staff, and bloats budget requirements at the expense of other more serious and front line responsibilities.

It has failed to curtail firearms related crime, which has risen exponentially since that time. Singling out particular types of firearm has no effect on murder rates or the criminal misuse of firearms in general. A bolt action rifle can cause as much harm as a self-loading centre-fire or pump action rifle.

In all cases they may use reasonable force, may detain with handcuffs, and may require a DNA sample to be taken all of which is unjustified by the nature of the offences and could reduce the trust between the police and the public. Also section 152 appears to override RTA 1988 Section 164(8) and is open to abuse.

Has engendered among the ethnic majority both sometimes justifiable resentment and a feeling that anyone from outside their number succeeding in their chosen sphere is doing so only because of their minority status, which is quite often wholly unfair. Has created the atmosphere which allowed the Ali Dizaei debacle in the Metropolitan Police to take place and done nothing to promote feelings of pan-racial "community". || |- ||47. ||Race Relations Act 1976 ||The entire Act ||Overrode the eminently sensible Race Relations Act 1965 which confined itself solely to the public sphere more or less in its entirety, and established a quango which positively thrives - indeed depends - upon interracial malcontent and stirring up suspicions of an omnipresent racism in the shape of the Commission for Racial Equality. || |- ||48 ||Race Relations Act 1968 ||The entire Act ||Intrudes unacceptably into areas which are more properly matters for personal conscience and public opprobrium to deal with. Actually damaged race relations in the United Kingdom in a way the far milder and more appropriate Race Relations Act 1965 did not in that it encouraged members of ethnic minorities who might previously have only suspected prejudicial treatment to band together into "communities" and go hunting for it, setting themselves against the native (for lack of a better term) population. Separation from the wider community was incentivised as unintegrated "communities" regarded as homogenous by outsiders became better able to campaign for preferential treatment and increased "group rights" than the individual who regards himself as simply British. As well as ghettoising ethnic minorities, all this has an equally unwelcome effect on members of the majority poplation, who have been taught to resent and fear (particulary as regards potential litigation) members of ethnic minorities even where their history in Britain goes back three or four generations. || |- ||49. ||Occupier's Liability Act 1984 ||The entire Act ||Places unfair burden upon householders by making them liable for injury suffered by tresspassers on their property, leading to the famous case of a burglar who broke his leg falling through floorboards and successfully sued{{fact}}. Previous legislation more than adequately protected children, legitimate callers or people straying onto property by accident. This statute serves no useful purpose other than to increase public perception of the unfairness of the legal system. ''Disagree'' — OLA 1984 was introduced because the House of Lords, in its former judicial capacity, hadn't made clear what duty was owed to trespassers, only that one existed. Hence the Law Commission looked into it its recommendations prompted the Act. The pre-existing law was unclear, putting occupiers in an uncertain position and hence creating an opportunity for very real injustice. Occupiers are not liable for all injury suffered by trespassers as the poster alleges, instead a negligence-style duty of care is defined, so you need to know that a danger exists, have reasonable grounds to believe a trespasser would encounter it and to fail to take reasonable steps to prevent them from doing so, causing an injury to occur. A reasonable warning can be enough, per s1(5). In summary: previous legislation and common law was unclear, the burden is heavily overstated by the poster. ''Dispute'' the disagreement - OLA 1984 affords more rights to a trespasser than does the OLA 1957 to a legitimate visitor, which is ludicrous. || |- ||50. ||Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 ||Sections 8 (d) ||This section of the Act makes it a crime for the occupier or manager of premises to permit someone to use cannabis on those premises. This section was due to be amended in the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, section 38, but this new law was repealed under the Drugs Act 2005.<ref>[http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2005/ukpga_20050017_en_6#sch1 drugs act 2005 sch.1] [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2005/en/ukpgaen_20050017_en_1.htm govt explanation (see item 54)]</ref> Although the legal situation is currently somewhat vague, it appears that Section 8(d) is still in force. This law creates the absurd situation in which housing providers, drug treatment centers, and homeless shelters can work with heroin and other drug addicts within the law, but if the drug involved is cannabis the organisation risks prosecution if they allow the person to remain in their facilities. When around 10%<ref name="wdr_2006"/> of all 15-64 year olds use cannabis at least once per year (and many much more often) it is simply unreasonable and counterproductive to hold occupiers or managers criminally responsible for cannabis use on their premises. || |- ||51. ||Building Regulations ||Part P ||These sections make it convoluted or near-impossible for a homeowner to easily do even the most basic electrical DIY without consulting the council - replacing a plug or an electrical switch. While electrical safety is important, this is an unreasonable restriction, that a homeowner "may" be alowed (or may equally be forbidden) to do such basic DIY work in their home. Cost to homeowner of replacing facia of socket themselves - £10 (£4 socket, £6 time). Cost to do same in an area where notification "may" or "may not" be required depending on the council - extra admin, extra letters, a council employee, time needed on hold to my council asking if they consider the work "notifiable" or not - total cost for my time, councils time, form designers, data processors, council data storage, offices and facilities, council's internal audit and compliance time, administration clerks, possible electrician? £200?

The definition of coercive behaviour in the act is too broad, including any form of deception. Minor forms of deception are included in almost all human interactions and that means that (a) would be guilty of an offence in almost any situation where a third person is involved. The act is not designed to protect victims from abuse and that the law is too broad. Strict liability goes against natural justice and the provision is not well regarded by the police, who consider it very hard to enforce. In fact, it may be harmful to those who offer sexual services as will any law that prevents openness. This provision of the act should be removed for being unworkable and for eroding the principle of "mens rea". It is not the place of Government to dictate what adults do with their bodies in private, but it is fair to restrict what is done in public.<br> ''Comment:'' s.14? Ouch! This essentially criminalises all paid sex, by any person, anywhere in the world, because nobody can know for sure whether some third party may have made some statement that might be cited as a form of coercion, or told some statement a fraction less than the truth, to the hooker, and there is no defence of ignorance nor any restriction to UK territory. If soliciting or accepting prostitution is to be criminalised, or it is to be a crime for a citizen to have sex with a prostitute anywhere in the world, say so directly. But if the intent of this is to impede sex slavery, then it's an awful, awful, approach.

While DNA is useful to have on database for future crimes, the logic of "keep it in case it's useful" has been rejected - we do not for example DNA profile the entire nation. Good justification is needed to take DNA, keep DNA, and to not within a very few months of use, destroy DNA, even if it would potentially be useful to have on file for decades. In principle DNA should not be accessible unless there is reasonable suspicion of a jury triable offence or one carrying imprisonment, and should be destroyed upon aquittal or within 3 years of end of sentence for less serious offences. Long term storage might be justified for offences involving violence, burglary, sexual issues, and a specific list of matters, but not "everything". || |- ||61. ||The Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003 ||Section 296ZE || A good section, but why the cumbersome and intimidating requirement that a consumer must seek redress via the Secretary of State? Surely this can be simplified and made more accessible with direct approach to the copyright holder, or by the courts? The requirement might be reworded as: ''"...may deliver notice to the copyright holder or their appointed representative in the designated form, and upon receipt of such a notice a means shall be provided by the copyright holder or their appointed representative to enable a person to carry out the permitted act within a reasonable period"'' and perhaps: ''"In the event of a failure by a copyright holder to provide a means to carry out the permitted act within a reasonable time, the complainant seeking to undertake a permitted act may apply to the Court for an order requiring compliance."'' || |- ||62. ||Terrorism Act 2000 ||Section 58 || Outlaws possessing an immensely wide range of information ("of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism"). This could conceivably be '''any''' information, as '''any information''' could in theory be "useful". There is no requirement of any evidence that it was intended '''in fact''' to be useful, was downloaded in connection with terrorism, or anything of that kind. There is no defence that on a balance of probability it was not in the person's possession with a criminal intention. We're here on the Wikipedia/Wikiversity website, a clear example of this - someone wrote up the encyclopedia's hundreds of articles on explosives, tactics, terrorism tricks, detection methods, police procedures. Someone obtained and had in their possession the scientific and operational research to do that article writing. "Material likely to be useful"? Of course! So... arrest them for having edited the article or viewed it on their computer? (Viewing is deemed to be possession/control in cyberlaw as the browser saves a copy to the computer). See also [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7242724.stm this Appeal Court case]. This section is hopelessly widely drawn. It's also hopelessly ineffective. Most material that "could be useful" has dual uses that are non-terrorism based, common curiosity and non-censorship are highly regarded values, and - lacking any and all safeguards that there is some tie between the information and a criminal interest - this section effectively forbids viewing or owning of all kinds of information and knowledge with valid uses. A recent case exposing the draconian nature of this was that of Home Gunsmith series author Philip Luty's recent arrest, and subsequent arrest of many people who downloaded his legal books available via his website. <ref>Philip Luty arrested for writing books considered 'likely to be useful' to terrorists http://lpuk.blogspot.com/2010/01/phillip-luty-update-free-speech-in.html</ref> || |- ||63. ||The Firearms Act ||Signal apparatus (Flare guns) ||Flare guns used for signalling are included under section.1, requiring a Firearm Certificate to purchase and possess.

Many collectors of valuable WW1 & WW2 flare guns have had to have theirs destroyed as part of the deactivation process in order to keep them. Disposable flare launchers are however not covered and can be purchased freely - these are however inferior and have caused injuries to the user due to their weak cases exploding.

Criminalises plane-spotters with their scanner. Far too wide ranging. <br>''Comment:'' Actually the entirety of 5(b), because 5(b)(ii) is an equal problem. Criminalises listening to any wireless transmission with intent to hear what's being broadcast unless an intended recipient, or disclosing what they were told by third parties who heard a broadcast that they were not intended recipients. Unreasonable in this day and age. Trivial example - Gordon Brown's microphone in the 2010 election, if this had been enforced (it could be argued that once he got in his car, the media were not an "intended recipient") - the nation would never have heard of Mrs Duffy and every newspaper reporting it, any person mentioning it, would potentially have been a criminal. More serious example - plane spotters, wireless afficionados, broadcasts from ships and overseas, ham radio, etc. ''"Intent to receive contents..."'' can be proven by simply listening to a radio on a variety of channels. There is no requirement of reasonableness. In most other areas of privacy the legal line is that a person who puts a matter (or a communication) into the public arena is implicitly agreeing it is public. Anyone with broadcast capability is either a hobbyist, a company or an official body having the capability to keep their communications private if they so wish, or else evidently doesn't care. Trivial example. A laptop or mobile phone user visits a wireless point at a cafe or other location. He/she requests the device to locate suitable wireless connections to identify 1) if there is indeed a wireless connection available or 2) to connect to the cafe's stated network. The device (as normal for wifi) lists all 6 networks it can identify as broadcasting in the area, including a fellow cafe-user's mobile phone that's bluetooth-connected and a named wifi network from an office next door, and asks which one the user wishes to connect to.

The 2002 Act provides executive power to the Home Secretary to circumvent going to parliament and has been used to create the 2006 regulations which came in force in 2008. It was also passed when the anti terror legislations were, and overrides the rights of British Patrials who have right of abode in the uk based on their descent from a father or mother born in the UK and is a British citizen. A law against being half English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish. ||This act ha been used to override primary legislation over the children of British born parents who were born before February 07 1961 to subject them to repeated application and fees without regard to their ability to pay such fees as a captive market with the sole purpose of making money and subjecting them to direct and indirect control regardless of all the primarily legislations namely the 1971 immigration act which allows such persons to be treated equally and on the same basis as British citizens. Furthermore section 15 of the 2006 Asylum, Immigration, and Nationality act has been ignored to suggest when a passport has expired that such persons become subject to control while ignoring the fact that a statutory right is vested in the person and not in his/her documents. This is a perverse set of laws that allow ILE/ILR holders to evidence their rights using an expired passport while preventing those who have the right of abode, a status that is not subject to immigration control to be controlled in this manner. It is an unjust act designed to force the take up of the identity cards and also holds such persons as a captive market and states that such persons should cost recovery fees even if they are already tax payers and the children of UK tax payers and have the closely of all links through blood to the country mostly children of mixed commonwealth and UK citizens living in the country. || |- ||68. ||Public Order Act 1986 ||Section 5 ||Unfortunately used to enforce 'speech crime' (as an excuse to arrest usually) - anything said or written on a placard (i.e. during protest) that may cause 'offence' is an arrestable offence. || |- ||69. ||Criminal Justice Act 1987 ||Section 2A ||This section makes it a crime not to answer a question in an interview conducted under this part.

This age group is thereby covered by child pornography laws in the aforementioned 1978 act and elsewhere. It is thusly illegal to make "indecent" images of 16 and 17 year olds (or indeed in most cases for 16 and 17 year olds to make such images of themselves.) [The term "indecent" is undefined in law.] The main problem with this legislation is that it is logically and morally incompatible with the age of sexual consent being 16 years. A recording or depiction of a lawful act should not be unlawful; neither should persons who are legally recognised as sexual beings - and therefore adults in that regard - be prohibited from recording or depicting themselves, or consenting to be recorded or depicted, as sexual beings. While the motivation behind the extension of protection to 16 and 17 year olds was well-meaning, it does not make rational or moral sense that an image or recording of a person with whom one can legally have sexual intercourse should be legally defined as "child pornography". The protection of children and young people from exploitation is paramount to a just and decent society; however, the laws by which we live our lives should also make a modicum of sense. This inconsistency in the legislation could alternatively be rectified equally well by raising the age of sexual consent to 18. || [[United Kingdom Law/Great Repeal Bill 2008/Debate#Sexual Offences Act 2003 (16 + 17 year olds)|Debate]] |- ||71. ||The Merchant Shipping (Inland Waterway and Limited Coastal Operations) (Boatmasters' Qualifications and Hours of Work) Regulations 2006 ||Alter section 4 to deregulate rather than require alternative equivalent qualifications ||This is the narrowing of an over-broad piece of legislation. For many years, charities, community groups, scouts etc. have taken groups of children narrowboating, happily chugging along Britain's inland waterways at 3mph without any problem. However, the above SI makes it a requirement for the captain of a narrowboat carrying non-relatives to have a qualification. The simplest one, the National Community Boats Association's Certificate of Boat Management, costs over £100, plus two days of time and travel, to obtain. The upshot is that fewer groups go narrowboating because leaders cannot be bothered to get the qualification - they just go and do something simpler instead, like camping. However, there is a predicted network effect - as the volume of business dries up, the suitable multi-berth boats will become uneconomical to run for the hire companies, and will get retired or converted. Then, it will not be possible for anyone to go, qualification or not. Over-regulation kills what it attempts to control. The playing field here is not level - the captain of a boat containing a family or family group is not required to be qualified. (Doing so would devastate the leisure canal boat hire industry.) And I know of no accidents which this regulation might have been brought in to prevent a repeat of. It's just regulation for the sake of it. There is no need for this regulation; those who lead community groups and camps are already checked for suitability in many other ways. They should be allowed to use their judgement, and parents should be allowed to assess for themselves whether the person appointed to run an activity seems competent and careful. At the very least, the skippering of narrowboats hired for pleasure on inland waterways should be deregulated entirely. ''Comment:'' Cogently argued. Agree: Excellent argument for deregulation. This Act is endemic of public life in Britain: regulation for the sake of regulation, tick-boxing to satisfy bureaucrats. || |- ||72. ||The Proceeds Of Crime Act 2002 and amendments 2007 and 2009 || ||This Law has destroyed the Presumption of Innocence and allows the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to punish the innocent before charge and before trial.

However you must tell the DVLA every year that nothing has changed or be fined. A headache for classic car owners who happen to be on holiday when the renewal arrives. Why should privately owned possesions, on private land, be 'licensed' by the state in this way? ''Comment'' Makes sense. The off-road notice should have an option "until further notice" where the owner states they will notify DVLA if this changes. Agree: Above comment offers good alternative. || |- ||74. ||Land Registration Act 2002 ||Part 9, Schedule 6 and Schedule 12 Section 18 (see also consequential amendments and repeals below) ||The news routinely reports cases of adverse possession where legitimate land and home-owners must go through much legal process, expense and often distress and difficulty, to recover land and property that has been occupied without their consent. There is a valid benefit to adverse possession law, in that land and property not managed by its owner should have owners' status granted to its actual occupant after a period of time and unused land should be allowed to have economic use, but this should cover land and property in some state of abandonment by the owner and/or whose occupation is unchallenged for a substantial time, not any occupation of any brief duration and however obtained (with or without permission). The current law is archaic and routinely responsible for cases of very grave injustice. Granting the same ''legal'' right over property to merely opportunistic occupiers from the moment they acquire ''de facto'' control, or to any person who manages to change the locks regardless of ownership rights, is abusive and unjust. A person who acquires any other asset without permission or rights knows they may lose possession at any moment. It's the nature of "property". With any other property, an owner can quickly and easily gain recovery, if necessary by asking the police or courts to "move on" the non-owner. The law supporting adverse possession being different for land and property (other than longer term uncontested occupation) should be repealed, for the removal of injustice. A better approach is suggested on the debate page. || [[United Kingdom Law/Great Repeal Bill 2008/Debate#Adverse possession|Debate]] |- ||75. ||Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ||Especially Sections 12-15 ||This Act dates from the pre-digital age and is no longer appropriate. There are a huge number of published works that are in a 'limbo' situation where they are not in print but still governed by copyright laws. Change the rules so that once a work has been out of print for a certain time (say, 3 years) it automatically loses its copyright status (with a possible opt-out mechanism for those authors who specifically do not wish that to happen despite no longer earning royalties). This would enable such works to be scanned and placed on the Internet with a consequent huge increase in the accessibility of knowledge and learning that would therefore be made available to all. Furthermore, remove all historical parish registers and other such data from copyright status entirely so that any organization such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which possesses copies of these documents can place such images online without needing the permission of any archivist or diocesan authority or anyone else for that matter. This would greatly increase access to such documents for family historians everywhere. || |- ||76. ||Traffic Act 1981, 1986 and later ||Unknown ||These Acts brought in compulsory seat belt wearing. Not only is the issue of an individual wearing a seat belt none of the Government's business rather a matter of personal choice and responsibility there is also reasonable evidence to assume it has not reduced the number of accidents or fatalities see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt_legislation#The_British_law Disagree: Surely common-sense dictates that seat-belt wearing saves lives. The evidence you're suggesting presumably stems from the phenomena that people act more recklessly when they have what they believe to be a safeguard on their behaviour, i.e., the seat-built and airbag will save them, so they subconsciously drive more quickly and recklessly than otherwise. Recommend that this is a societal problem, caused by people of all ages (not least middle-aged men trying to prove a point) who do not seem to understand that they are driving 3 ton death machines. More education needed at a teenage level. || |- ||77. ||1925 Dangerous Drugs Act and others ||Unknown ||This Act and its successors have criminalised the use of cannabis and other substances. The use of such substances is purely a matter of personal choice and responsibility. Secondly the criminalisation of these substances has created a huge criminal supply network which would be removed by the decriminalisation of drugs as well as improving the quality/safety of the substances and reducing the consequential crime caused by drug users/addicts. Agree: See above, use of narcotics incompatible with the principles behind a free, capitalist society in which individuals have duties and responsibilities as well as 'rights'. An individual's action do not happen in isolation. Society is a complex system, and every action can have repercussions. || |- ||78. commnet ||Child Car Seat Regulations - 2006 ||Unknown ||This is an area of parental decision and responsibility.

Such laws should be removed and prostitution decriminalised. It is a matter of personal choice and private negotiation. Criminalising it only makes the 'business' more dangerous, linked to criminal gangs, harder to zone and removes the tax revenue. Disagree: Moves already in place to criminalise the men rather than the women, targetting demand instead of supply. This seems a more reasonable approach, but nonetheless, the principle behind this (as yet unidentified) act remains morally right. || |- ||80. ||The Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988 ||Article 2 ||This part of the act lists various items to be restricted as 'offensive weapons' which makes a criminal offense or importing or selling them. This list was infact taken directly from a popular martial arts catalogue at the time and includes obscure novalty items that aren't even weapons, such as 'foot claws' (A 'ninja' costume prop to enable climbing of walls) and 'butterfly knives', the description of which outlaws many popular fruit knife designs from the turn of the century. 'Blow pipes' are also included, essentially outlawing children's toys and souveneers brought back from South America and South East Asia. These items present no danger whatsoever to public safety and istead the act criminalises collector's items and legitimate bladed tools. The useless nature of this act can be further demonstrated by the fact that swords, machetes, clubs and combat knives are readily and legally available. || |- ||81. ||The Education (Student Support) (No.2) Regulations 2008 No. 1582 ||Part 2 6(b), 7(c), 8(d) ||This penalises the sons and daughters of those UK citizens working outside the UK, who attend international schools but wish to return to the UK to attend universities in England.

It is also the Act under which goldfish cannot be sold or given as prizes to persons under the age of sixteen. Disagree: Does not anthropomorphise animals.

It is also liable to encourage excessive intolerance. This Act is liable to encourage unwarranted interference (by the police and courts) with every aspect of ordinary life. This Act is liable to have a chilling effect on every aspect of ordinary life. This Act might be in danger of maliciously misconstrued in a sexist manner that discriminates heterosexual men simply for being what they are. A normal person might be in danger of being maliciously prosecuted essentially on account of being in love with an abnormal anti-social sociopath. That is the apparent tennor and subtext of some of the literature being published on this subject. It is completely sinister. It might be worthwhile to retain section 4 provisionally if it is heavily amended so as to remove elements of strict liability ("ought to know"), words reversing the normal burden of proof, get out clauses for police officers etc. and the entire "course of conduct" nonsense . . . though it would be much better to replace it with a completely new provision, included in the body of the repealing Act or inserted into the Offences against the Person Act 1861, creating an offence of intentionally or recklessly<ref>i.e. subjective recklessness/advertant indifference</ref> causing fear of violence without lawful excuse, which is what should have been enacted in the first place. Section 1 on the other hand is so vague<ref>The Act does not provide a closed and unambiguous definition of "harassment". Section 1(3) does not provide a comprehensive list of things that are or may reasonable. The statute doesn't even condescend to make the apparently obvious statement that conduct done in order to avoid equal or worse mental distress than that which is forseen is reasonable. It is far more interested in ensuring that police officers and other public officials who act in a ''plainly'' unreasonable manner are completely untouchable, via paragraphs (b) and (c).</ref> that it could be ''twisted'' to mean just about anything.

At the very least, the mentioned sections should be repealed. This will disallow secondary legislation from creating new punishable offences and will also stop the negative resolution procedure from being used to push legislation through Parliament. }} {{/entry | clause = 2. | bill = European Communities Act 1972 | parts = The entire Act | reason = This Act undermines democracy by transferring powers from the British Parliament to unelected functionaries abroad. It allows substantial changes in the law to be made without a vote in Parliament. Disagree: Repealing this Act will in practice mean the UK leaving the EU. Agree: A large proportion of our laws (in the order of 75%) are made by the EU with Parliament having no say in their imposition. Repealing this Act will in practice mean leaving the EU, which will result in the restoration of sovereignty which was given away by various governments without the consent of either Parliament or the people. Disagree: the 75% figure is an invention of those that advocate departure. The EU has no jurisdiction over policing, defence, education, health or any of the other things people actually base their votes upon. Substantial changes cannot be made without a decision of the British executive since EU law takes effect only on ministerial order. Agree: The principle should be that the crown-in-parliament has supreme legislative power for the United Kingdom. Membership of the EU impinges on that principle. However, the issue of the EU must be taken into consideration with other international memberships, such as the European Convention on Human Rights, which also limits unacceptably the actions that may be conducted by the crown-in-parliament. Further, possible to argue that the EU is an anachronistic organisation considering the massive growth in economies outside of Europe, free trade with which Britain could benefit. }} {{/entry | clause = 3. | bill = Parliament Act 1911 | parts = Section 7 | reason = This Act allows changes in legislation without reference to the House of Lords. At the very least, the 1949 Act should be repealed, because the 1911 Act was sufficient. The 1911 Act could also be amended so it could not be used to amend the constitution (the 1949 Act was passed by invoking the 1911 Act). Agree: This Act should not be repealed but amended to disallow further constitutional Acts to be passed using it (such as the Parliament Act 1949). Section 7 should be repealed (see Septennial Act 1715 below). Agree: Allows too much power to the executive to push through massive changes without effective consultation and checks and balances. However, must be completed in conjunction with a reform of the Lords that gives them real teeth to check the power of the Commons. }} {{/entry | clause = 4. | bill = Parliament Act 1949 | parts = The entire Act | reason = This Act shortens the durations in which the House of Lords can delay legislation from three to two sessions/two years to one year. The Parliament Act 1911 already establishes the primacy of the House of Commons and this Act should be repealed (with relevant provisions to re-enact amended sections of the 1911 Act) to enhance scrutiny and prevent bad bills from being passed. }} {{/entry | clause = 6. | bill = European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 | parts = The entire Act | reason = Gives force to the European Constitution ([[w:Lisbon Treaty|Treaty of Lisbon]] - may only be ratified if the Lisbon Treaty wins popular support in a national referendum) Disagree: Now that the Treaty is in force, any referendum will be purely academic since there is nothing the UK Parliament can do about it short of leaving the EU. Agree: Leaving the EU is a much better outcome than retaining a hugely flawed and monstrously undemocratic EU Constitution. In any case, it is quite possible that unilaterally repealing this Act will result in the EU requesting the UK to remain involved in more or less the same way that Norway and Switzerland are involved. Again, if we stay in the EU, then the whole Government project of "Big Society" through devolution of power and accountability will be a mockery: huge powers are currently held by EU bodies and cannot be devolved without repealing this (and probably other) Acts. Disagree: leaving EU debate is already covered by the ECA debate, above. The EU's "huge powers" are all subservient to its role to ensure effective trade. They do not include any of the areas voters identify as wanting to keep in Britain. That's why it wasn't the EU that decided whether to go to war in Iraq, there's no European Health Service, etc. Agree: The 'disagree' above does not consider that the EU has already begun legislating into areas far beyond trade, including such humdrum things as waste collection and environmental management. The idea of the EU as a trade bloc ended with its transition from the European Community to the current Union. }} {{/entry | clause = 7. | bill = Human Rights Act 1998 | parts = The entire Act | reason = To be repealed and replaced by proposed new Bill of Rights <ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5114102.stm|title=Cameron 'could scrap' rights act|accessdate=2007-04-02}}</ref>.

In any event, this statue shall renounce and repudiate the use of cruel and unusual punishment against all persons whilst they remain within the environs of the United Kingdom. No person of any ethnic background shall suffer torture or any other form of cruel and unusual punishment whilst they remain within United Kingdom. The possibility that they may become so at risk if deported, however, is not a proper matter for United Kingdom courts which shall confine themselves to domestic considerations alone. Disagree: The Human Rights Act 1998 implements certain human rights obligations under European Community law (see the charter of fundamental rights). The proposed 'Bill of Rights' would effectively have to contain everything already within the HRA 1998 and confining the courts to 'domestic' considerations alone opens the path for massive governmental abuse of fundamental human rights. It will also be expensive to redraft the legislation for no real purpose. Second disagree: the Bill of Rights 1689 primarily governs the rights of parliament as against the monarch, e.g. establishing that "the Freedome of Speech and Debates or Proceedings in Parlyament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any Court or Place out of Parlyament." and tying . Citing it suggests confusion with the American Bill of Rights which is explicitly and exclusively about the rights of an individual as against the state. Further legislation drawn up in the tradition of the English act would do no more than enshrine various constitutional conventions under which the monarchy already functions. Drafting alternative legislation about the rights of individuals against the state would be a waste of time and money as per the first disagree. Creating a tiered set of rights that depends in any way on ethnicity is unsupportable since taxation and other participation in the state is not dependent on ethnicity. Furthermore, trying to define the rights owed by a state to those living within it according to any criteria of prior contributions (whether by blood line or otherwise) inherently suggests that the rich should get better rights than the poor; to promote blood line above other considerations suggests a predisposition to reaching that conclusion by any route. Agree: Unacceptably impinges upon the legislative supremacy of the crown-in-parliament and the independence of the British judiciary. Power and authority of the state and the law depends upon the law's ability to offer guarantees to subjects, but also on the inability of subjects to find a way around the law and circumvent it. The position of European courts as the supreme appellant courts undermines our law, judiciary and parliament. Historically, this has proved untenable (see origins of the Hundred Years War). But, agree with above, Bill of Rights 1689 already offers constitutional protections. We survived nearly three centuries without anything piled up on top. }} {{/entry | clause = 9. | bill = The EU Data Retention Directive | parts = The entire Directive | reason = This directive mandates that all communcations traffic (Email, Web, Phone, Cellphone, SMS etc) messages be kept for up to 18 months by the service providers.

This directive requires what should be forbidden: ISPs should not be permitted to retain any additional logging except the bare minimum required for billing. Government (or other officials) should not be allowed to impose retrospective surveillance, or go on "fishing" expeditions.

To be replaced with a provision banning the use of taxpayers' money, in the form of tax refunds, to politically motivated "charities" such as the Taxpayers' Alliance. Disagree - the Act's public benefit requirement allows judges to weight the balance between benefit to society and cost on the public purse (tax breaks etc) that will be accorded to charities; institutions should prove their worth before being awarded free tax breaks. Comment: I agree with the proposal. The Act rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of what charitable status is for. It is not about tax, it is about allowing property to be held indefinitely for a defined purpose, rather than belonging to a particular person. If the Government wants independent schools (or political campaigning groups) to pay tax on their income, it should change the tax rules, not monkey around with the definition of charitable status. }} {{/entry | clause = 2. | bill = Education Act 1994 | parts = Section 22, Clause 2(f) | reason = This restriction unfairly limits paid part-time elected officers and should really have been dovetailed in with "major union office holders" in Clause 2(d).

The date of Easter is a consideration for the churches, not Parliament. Another reason being it is an infringement of a persons right to celebrate religious occasions when they would traditionally do so. }} }} == Authorities and bodies to be abolished == There are plenty of QUANGOs available at [http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tm4Dxoo0QtDrEOEC1FAJuUg] that can be listed here and a full list here as well [http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/sapb.pdf] {| class="wikitable" |- | style="width:5%;"|'''Clause''' | style="width:20%;"|'''Authority or body''' | style="width:20%;"|'''Enabling Legislation''' | style="width:50%;"|'''Reasoning''' | style="width:5%;"|'''Debate''' |- || 1. || England Marketing Advisory Board || || Obsolete and no longer necessary. || |- || 2. || Gambling Commission<ref>http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/</ref> || Gambling Act 2005, Part 2 and Schedule 4 plus consequential amendments || Obsolete and no longer necessary.<br>Disagree: This sector arguably more than most needs some sort of statutory regulation in order to stop questionable practices and the addiction that goes along with gambling. || |- || 3. || Horserace Betting Levy Board<ref>http://www.hblb.org.uk/</ref> || Can be dissolved by commencing Part 2 of the Horserace Betting and Olympic Lottery Act 2004 || Obsolete and no longer necessary.<br><br>''Agreed:'' Do we really need a board for this (especially if the government will be selling off the Tote)? || |- || 4. || British Wool Marketing Board<ref>http://www.britishwool.org.uk/</ref> || || No reason why farmers cannot have a marketing organisation.

If that distinction isn't important for what you wish to do, answering for yourself what you intend your students to do a) work together to write a book or b) write a paper, article or something else much simpler or smaller, is a good way to help you decide which project to use. Writing a book can be a great undertaking that requires a lot of work, perhaps more work then students can be expected to accomplish in a single semester. What are your needs? Is it something that students could build on from what students did the previous semesters, or something students would need to start over from scratch each time? Is it a one time deal or something you hope to repeat?

We have a large number of images without adequate information about what licence they are available under and I think deleting those that aren't used will help to reduce the burden of trying to resolve these problems. Considering these images are unused, there is only a small risk of their deletion being harmful and it would be very easy to restore any as necessary. In accordance with the [[foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy]], all content on Wikimedia projects must either be available under an accepted free licence or accepted under an EDP (aka a [[Wikiversity:Fair use|fair use policy]]). As these images are unused, they cannot be justified under a fair use policy and nor would it be immediately beneficial for us to try to establish their availability under a free licence. Since our [[Wikiversity:Deletion policy]] is only currently a proposal, I think this is the most appropriate venue to try to establish consensus for this. Please indicate below whether you {{tl|support}} or {{tl|oppose}} this proposal. If you oppose then please provide an explanation so that your concerns can help to develop the proposal into something you can accept. [[User:Adambro|Adambro]] 17:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC) :If it is really policy that images without licensing information are not welcome, then we first have to make it impossible for people to upload files without licensing information. I believe that many file uploaders have in the past assumed that their contributions were under the GFDL. Why not use something like [[Template:GFDL-presumed]] as the default treatment for files without licensing information? Before deleting files an attempt should be made to contact the uploader. If a file is doing no harm then there is no reason to delete it. --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 20:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC) ::As discussed before, it really is policy.

As SB_Johnny notes below, if we can reduce the number then it will be much easier to keep an eye on the situation and try to resolve the issues sooner, whilst the user is still active here, rather than years later when they may well not be. :::I don't really think {{tl|GFDL-presumed}} is an option.

[[User:Adambro|Adambro]] 22:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC) :::To respond to JWSchmidt's final point that "If a file is doing no harm then there is no reason to delete it", all of the files I am referring to are harmful, for a number of reasons. They are harmful to Wikiversity because hosting them is potentially violating copyright law. They are harmful because their lack of information means they violate the Foundation's resolution which we have no choice but to comply with. They are harmful because, whilst they are unused, we still have to concern ourselves with categorising them if we are to ensure that tools like [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]] are of any value. To look at it from the other angle, does their existence benefit Wikiversity? Considering we can't, or at least shouldn't, use these images whilst they lack licensing information then it doesn't seem realistic that their existence can be beneficial.

There has been a series of attempts to impose on the Wikiversity community the destructive approach that was developed at Wikipedia. The Wikipedia method is to have a website that is saturated with statements saying "all your contributions are under a copyleft license". However, wiki participants are allowed to upload files without specifying the license. Later, uploaded files are deleted because they do not specify a license. That approach is fine for a wiki run by deletionists, but there are alternatives. If it is true that all uploaded files must be under a copyleft license or be provided with a fairuse rationale then the first thing to do is to make it impossible to upload files unless the uploader specifies the license. The deletionists have repeatedly refused to do this and so they have created the "problem". They continue to cause the problem by refusing to change the file upload system so as to require that a license be specified. The deletionists further cloud the issue by making false claims such as saying that Wikiversity cannot host content that is potentially a copyright violation. Fanning the flames of copyright paranoia has long been a popular sport for deletionists and people who would like to shut down free culture websites. Wikiversity is a learning community. We should have a way of educating participants about copyleft licenses and fairuse and then allow participants to specify the license for their uploaded files. Uploading without a license having been specified should be impossible. "[http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity%3AColloquium&diff=465792&oldid=465788 I don't really think GFDL-presumed is an option.

Is it really worth the risks involved to save images which aren't being used? You don't seem to have explained how such images benefit the project. As I've said, it would be easier if we focus on dealing with these unused images with no licensing information rather than trying to solve the wider issues. We already seem to have what should really be a straightforward discussion turning into something much more onerous. There certainly are related issues that need to be discussed but I think we can deal with these images without having to discuss the whole system of image uploads. You ask me to quote from the Resolution to support my suggestion that "their lack of information means they violate the Foundation's resolution". It would probably be easier if you simply read the [[foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy|Resolution]] in full and you should be able to come to the same conclusion.

Commons, being a project dedicated to hosting such content, has a much better "infrastructure" for managing freely licensed content, and of course anything uploaded there is instantly available for the benefit of other projects. Sure, we'd have to be prepared to accept some stuff getting deleted due to a likely more stringent analysis of the licensing status of an image, but being able to be confident that content is actually freely licensed is in the interests of our users. However, we are drifting away from the original point I was looking for consensus about so I don't really want to encourage discussion on the broader issues at this point.

For example, compare our form to [[commons:Commons:Upload]] or [[w:Wikipedia:Upload]]. In order to do this we would need to modify MediaWiki on Wikiversity. So, first we would need to decide what we want to implement, reach consensus, and if it is desirable to implement something like the upload form on the other projects we would then post a request to Bugzilla with a link to the consensus discussion here. Let's start by discussing the merits of such a change. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] <sup>[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]</sup> 12:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC) :I do not understand the technical details of how the upload form works, but it seems like it should be possible to modify the form so that the uploader has to select a valid licensing option before a file will upload. I do not understand why the form allows people to use options such as "non-commercial use only". I think many people see the current upload form and rightly decide it is a bad joke that is best ignored. --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 14:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC) ::The technical details are that in order to implement any major change (like switching to a multichoice upload form similar to those at Commons and Wikipedia, but with our own customized text and choices) we would need to request a change to the MediaWiki installation at Wikiversity. From what I understand, it is not physically possible for us to customize the upload forms as the other projects have done without this change. We can draft and discuss the text that we would like to see in those uploads forms, but nothing can get implemented until we post a Bugzilla request to add the software change to enable the use of these multichoice forms. I could be wrong about this last bit, but I don't think it is technically possible to completely prevent an upload without a license. For example, on Commons I skip the forms and go straight to the upload page, because it is easier for me to cut and paste the license and summary info all at once. But, anyone could just as easily skip the license info if they know how to bypass the form. Also, note that the Commons form has a choice labeled "It is a non-free fair use image" even though commons does not accept such files. If someone clicks on that option they get [[commons:Commons:Fair use|an explanation of the policy]] and the page does not allow uploading. These options are present to educate new users about the acceptable license policy for images. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] <sup>[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]</sup> 12:18, 23 August 2009 (UTC) *Yep, the WP version is probably better for us, since commons doesn't allow for fair use (assuming the consensus remains that fair use should be permitted). However, I don't think there's any way (software wise) to prevent uploads without a license. There's really no way to insist beforehand aside from creating a usergroup for uploading and disabling it for autoconfirmed, and I'd far prefer having to delete than requiring people to get prior permission. --[[User:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|'''SB_Johnny'''}}]] <sup>[[User_talk:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|talk}}]]</sup> 17:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC) **The Wikipedia upload form also includes a set of crazy "licensing options" which are the source of the problem of files not having the needed licensing information.

Please continue the discussion there.''''' {{archive top}} It seems that there are two issues that we need to decide. The first is the question of a multipage upload form, which requires a change to the Wikiversity MediaWiki installation. The second is the content of those forms, or a change to our existing single page form if we decide not to go with multipage. There seems to be some support for some kind of multipage form, though we need to discuss the contents in more detail. Let's discuss below the first point about multipage upload forms. Please indicate if you agree or disagree that we should pursue this. The change that we are talking about is to add <code>$wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg = array( 'licenses', 'uploadtext' );</code> to the Mediawiki installation which will allow us to create multipage upload forms that explain the various license options. Once we choose between keeping/modifying the existing one page form or the multipage, we can than start discussing the content, choices and wording of the text. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] <sup>[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]</sup> 14:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC) *{{support}} - the single page form is too limiting and (in the current state) too confusing.

I think the smart thing to do is direct uploads to the Commons by default if that can be done. Wikiversity could have a buffer repository for developing ''original'' media and images that go to the commons when finished. Wikiversity should develop a culture of originality and resourceful adaptation. That would leave Wikiversity's repository for Fair Use media and images only... and we would need a mechanism for approving these ''before'' anyone even thinks of uploading them. Fair Use media and images reside elsewhere on the web and can be linked to for review though a Request for comments process of some sort. I don't know the answer, but I don't like to see stuff uploaded then deleted. I'd rather issues be resolved before they become issues. My $.02 worth. [[User:CQ|CQ]] 15:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC) ***{{comment}} I agree that a large percentage of our uploads would be better at commons. My feeling is that having a multipage upload form could allow us to steer Free Content License works to commons, while still allowing fair use uploads here. There might also be situtations where a large number of uploads of similar images for a learning project could be seen as duplicates at commons, and therefore deleted. But, that is a topic for another thread. First, we need to make a simple decision on single page vs. multipage upload forms. I think that the multipage form would allow us the flexibility to implement your suggestion, or other suggestions that might be proposed. The current single page form limits our ability to ditinguish by license type, which is the first step in directing people to the best place for the upload. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] <sup>[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]</sup> 15:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC) *{{support}} <!--No, I am NOT cheating a vote -->In fact; HIGHLY support (10 on a scale of 0-10) because I HATE having to upload files one by one.

Maybe the real question in that regard is how can we get people ''interested'' in policy, and even make it an enjoyable discussion to be a part of? Wikipedia has thousands of participants, with a certain percentage that seem to relish the policy-making process: it ends up working out over time because within that percentage there is a wide diversity of views, and the "middle ground" they find tends to trend towards constant improvement.

While I can certainly understand the motivation, I wonder a bit whether this should be discouraged. From my understanding of the mission, we are here to provide "open" resources, so I'm not sure how appropriate it is to hold "closed" classes using wikiversity resources. A bit of mindspill: *While it's great to hold classes here to experiment with the potential of the wiki software for a session or two, it's probably better to hold closed classes on closed wikis. Even a paid webhost for a year costs less than most college textbooks! *I wonder if something similar to the "montessouri" (sp?) approach could be employed... if people not enrolled officially want to contribute, perhaps part of the assignment for the students could be to teach the "open participants". *Would it be possible to run some sort of script with the sandbox server to convert audio from lectures into .ogg format for uploading to wv or commons? The "open participants" (and even the enrolled students) could then listen on their computers or mp3 players. *I realize textbooks will be a problem, since there are precious few "open source" textbooks that are well developed enough to use in a class. However, the open participants could try to find such sources and the instructors and students could see if they are up to snuff as an alternative to the text used in the class. I think the nice thing about this would be that future instructors will be able to look at how another instructor ran a class on any particular subject. Lecture transcriptions could in some cases become seed material for wikibooks, which will help with the textbook problem. And it would expose both instructors and students to a more "natural" experience of how open wikis work, since they're in some ways isolated from the community when things aren't quite "open".

Here are 2 observations, for what they might be worth,( if anything) * Reading the entry On "Apology" I felt as if i would try to join a country club with its own language, only initiated would be able to follow. The specific reason was the expression " sockpuppeteer" . The reader can probably deduct from my comment that i grew up prior to the " internet revolution", but it seems to me in a project such as wikiversity ( again this is said with the proviso that i interpret the mission of wikipedia correctly) participation should have as few hurdles as possible, and every attempt should be made to make the mechanics of participation as easy as possible. I think commonly ( i hope that includes still my generation) understood language where ever possible might be used. [[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 12:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC) ::Ah. Well, a "sockpuppeteer" -- the word is used on the [[w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-09-15/Poetlister|WP signpost article]] (the "signpost" is something akin to a newspaper) -- is someone who has a number of accounts under different names, and uses the accounts to make it appear that they are different people. I don't know the history of Poetlister in particluar, but I'm under the impression he may have been using these to rig votes. Part of the reason there was concern is that he was a "checkuser" on one of the wikis, and one of the chief duties of a [[meta:Checkuser|checkuser]] is to identify sockpuppeteers. Weird stuff happens on wikis sometimes... hope that helps explain a bit of the jargon. --[[User:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|'''SB_Johnny'''}}]] <sup>[[User_talk:SB_Johnny|{{font|color=green|talk}}]]</sup> 16:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC) * Suggestion for policy development Again as a newcomer I lack insight to comment directly on policies. So i tried to inform myself regarding the underlying principles of wikiversity ( not policies , code of conduct, etc but the underlying philosophical context) may be the discussion should / could begin with the translation of Universitas as in universitas magistrorum et scholarium - a community of teaching and learning . According to http://arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/ the translation of universitas is:the whole, total, universe, world community of teaching and learning might be translated more correctly into: Communitas magistrorum et scholarium If that is the case then my comments under 1 are misplaced. if it is correct however may be attempts and/or suggestions could be made how to move from a Communitas to an Universitas based organization. It seems to me that the former is definitely a subset of /included in the more universal latter ( and I hope that still would include my generation) If I am too far off base please just ignore this. [[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 12:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC) :We always appreciate the ideas and insights of newcomers! Do you have any particular ideas for how to develop more of a ''Universitas''? [[user:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] <sup>[[User talk:Jade Knight|(d'viser)]]</sup> 19:16, 30 August 2009 (UTC) ::Hi Altera Vista, I am not sure what you mean with a universitas rather than a communitas? I could explain how i like Wikiversity to develop. At the moment the focus seems to be mainly on facilitating learning or learning about learning. I prefer to learn about something, and that something is all knowledge and details of that knowledge, as universal as possible and for all people to participate in.--[[User:Daanschr|Daanschr]] 14:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC) A community can easily become a club. In most cases it does. This inevitably results consciously or unconsciously in an attitude us against them, the club members against the rest. Academia is no exception, may be even a leader in this pattern. The definition of Universitas as given above is: whole, total, universe, world , (German word would be All) To me the difference between a Community of learners denotes ultimately no responsibility or belonging. Universitas magistrorum on the other hand in its original meaning seems to indicate, to me at least, a vital roll of the non human component of the "All" as legitimate may be even The Teacher and not subject (the viewpoint of universe/nature as mere subject was mainly adapted since Descartes). As a matter of fact the metaphor of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" seems to be fitting in this connection. Humanity , the perpetual apprentice is charged with an obligation - to look after the house while the master is gone as part of his/her apprentic-ship. Too often in the past we mistook our task to look after the masters house to try out, without understanding what we are doing, the little bit we learned, often with catastrophic consequences. We thought we know a lot , and probably we do. We understand however very little not to say nothing that really matters. Wikiversity I think is an opportunity to go back philosophically to our roots, at least in the western cultural setting. To me that would mean to rethink and may be even incorporate Socratic principles in the mission of Wikiversity. Such an effort would surely deserve the title Universitas in its original meaning. Sorry for the rant, but to me this is the crux of the problem and i hope it will be discussed further[[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 22:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC) :But do you have any particular suggestions as to how we might be able to better accomplish this? [[user:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] <sup>[[User talk:Jade Knight|(d'viser)]]</sup> 05:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC) ::In the western monastic tradition, the focus on universalism is combined with a focus on scheduling time and concentrated labour. I agree with you that it is important to be part of the universe and not to be part of a small ignorant community. On the other hand, there need to be tasks, activity, devotion for details. This in order to ensure that we are not merely talking but also working, maintaining. (I find it hard to put it in words)--[[User:Daanschr|Daanschr]] 08:16, 1 September 2009 (UTC) One could argue that the Western monastic movement is based on the Benedict of Nursia (Benedictine Order) (see Mumford) His innovation was Ora''' ET'''Labora . Translated more to our tast it would be Contemplate '''AND''' Work. Contemplation should lead to Understanding, and understanding is the beginning of wisdom (Noesis the Greek used to call it) Work on the other hand leads to Knowledge.( Related to Dianoia) Knowledge is the beginning of habit. We have undoubtedly much and often sophisticated knowledge , but sad to say we have little understanding. Knowledge builds on reason, understanding requires '''all''' of our human capabilities. (J.R Saul puts it at 6 in his book " On Equilibrium") All of them have to be brought together in order to obtain understanding and this I think was the insight of Benedict, which became the foundation of Western Culture. ( Don't blame him for our " Back sliding"). You ask what can we do in practical terms?! I think there are no answers in the sense we like to have absolute answers we can take home and follow confidently like a recipe in a cook book. All we can do analyze the situation and respond prudently, realizing that this response has to be revisited and adjusted constantly. In the first case ( answers) we are isolated we don't need anybody else we have it we can cook in our own little kitchen . in the second case we have to be by necessity connected - consciously connected to what ever came before us. This , by necessity, will - not give us - but bring us in touch with what Socrates referred to as the 'Greater Good'. In practical terms Wikiversity could try and encourage in each project its connections / how it relates to the Universal / the Greater Good as Socrates might have suggested. This would also attract folks that have no particular insight in the specifics of the project butcould probe its wider ramifications. By making or encouraging this possibility it would become natural to pose questions that would/ could lead beyond the confines of the particular subject. I would feel disruptive if i , for example would raise such questions on a project that deals with " how to make better videos" ( just an arbitrary example that came to mind) On the other hand such an expansion of a project might lead to as yet unexplored possibilities. I believe it is the opportunity and task of all of us to set that stage ( And here stops the rant sorry it got so long , I can wax real passionate about this) [[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 13:05, 1 September 2009 (UTC) P.S. Most contemporary universities follow the dictum of bacon: "..knowledge is power" Wikiversity's motto could be Knowledge is the handmaiden of understanding The first leads to fragmentation and compartmentalization the second one would lead to inclusion, and interconnectedness . (On and on he goes!) [[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 13:43, 1 September 2009 (UTC) :I graduated at Leiden university. Leiden university has the motto ''Praesidium Libertatis'', or bulwark of freedom/liberty. I have never heard anything about Bacon's "..knowledge is power", while i was there. I don't believe such a strong distinction can be made between on the one hand fragmentation and compartmentalization and on the other hand inclusion and interconnectedness. What i like about contemporary universities is the wide range of topics and methods of investigation. A problem of focusing on inclusion and interconnectedness is (paradoxically) that knowledge gets separated from the real world, which can be seen in fundamentalist christianity, islam and communism. I like the tradition of Voltaire, where the acceptability of being different can add to a greater whole, because a whole always consists out of several parts. Relativism can be a way of embracing the whole world, as can be seen in science, taoism, romanticism, liberalism.--[[User:Daanschr|Daanschr]] 14:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC) Knowledge is power Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est taken from: Meditationes Sacrae. De Haeresibus. by: Sir Francis Bacon,1597 I agree with you to a point. Everything is a balance. You mentioned fundamentalism (christianity etc) is intuition gone wild, devoid of common sense, --( sensus communis -- I am using Latin phrases not to show that I know them but because our terms have been often so compromised that they become almost useless in communicating), -- and reason. Voltaire and his compatriots on the other hand were mostly concerned with the problems of his time. They were first and foremost interested in combating the utterly corrupted political spiritual and also intellectual conditions they lived in. As weapon of choice they reached back to the Tradition of Anaximander and Socrates. Both ( Anaximander introduced and Socrates expanded the concept of Reason as guiding principle. That concept of reason as the Greek understood it however combined both Knowledge and Wisdom/ Understanding. With this they could postulate that Reason in itself was connected to moral value. as Max Horkheimer in one of his lectures ( I do not recall the specifics at the moment, Alzheimer's disease is setting in!!) pointed out is both a tool and a principle. One cannot blame the folks of the 18th century to be " blown away" by the spectacular success the application of reason as tool created that the bigger concept of Reason was forgotten. This oversight precisely led and had to lead to romanticism which ultimately embraces utopianism. Utopianism however is pure absolutism a fundamentalism of some sorts. I think tolerance might be a better description then Relativism ( one could make a coherent argument that relativism ultimately can lead or justify Auschwitz) what Taoism is based on. science on the other hand to day is not what Bacon, Voltaire or the rest of that crowd had in mind. If for no other reason the drive to privatize intellectual property is the antithesis of science as they envisioned it. And patent protection seems to have become the hallmark of academia today. With the conception : Knowledge is power however that became inevitable. [[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 18:13, 1 September 2009 (UTC) :Out of curiosity, are you a Classicist?

But, i see a side-effect. It is very hard to organize volunteers. There are millions of people playing World of Warcraft, but only a few hundred seem to be interested in knowledge, online. In the meanwhile, the elite of libertarians are changing the world in such a way that everything is more and more about money. Something that i was mostly busy with in the last years on Wikiversity and Wikipedia is how we can get more people interested in joining this initiative. At the moment we are with a small insignificant group. That doesn't have to be bad. Socialism has been very small for decades, but eventually conquered half the world.

However if you start digging deep enough you always will invariably end up at the same place. I quite agree with you, everything today is about money, even science, even the search for truth that inspired those who came before us. But there are some signs that are promising. I for one am quite impressed by the "Free Software Movement" (Eben Moglen for example) As Eben Moglen points out this is not free like in free beer but free as it belongs to the Common ( with capital letter) and from there , it seems to me is but a very small step to the Common Good the principle Socrates for example was searching for. I think this concept Should be expanded into other/ all areas of human activities. Periodically attempts in this direction are made, but they seem to drown and are not heard of again. This however seems to me no excuse not to try. Wikiversity attracted me as a possible platform to start again such a thing -- make knowledge, experiences, and insights etc practical in the spirit of " Search for the Greater Good " otherwise it is just more free beer. For this reason I am in the process of starting the project: " Designing for the Commons" here on wikiversity I am inexperienced in Computer "Things" thats one reason why it might be slow in getting going but again that is no excuse. In order to attract folks the quality has to be high, in other words it has to be valuable, it cannot be " Underwater Basket weaving" -- nobody gives a dam about..-- I worked in fluid dynamics and came up with the process of [[Dynamic Containment]] which I plan to use as a start. ( The picture / movie strips are just a start, no explanations yet , but it is coming be patient) The idea is to use technologies like this to develop actual useful applications collaboratively and free, that can stand up in the market place. I am convinced it can be done. I am also convinced if such practical attempts are anchored in what one might refer to as our Common humanistic inheritance it might influence enough folks so this thing we try to do will develop momentum on its own. I have no illusions that this will be easy or might even be successful, but that should not matter. Lewis Mumford expressed this more eloquently than I can Its taken from his book " The Condition of Man": ( These words accompany by a picture " Dawn at Lake George" by Alfred Stieglitz) "......the foreground is dark, and it will become darker before the day breaks. The purging of long accumulated poisons, the healing of ugly wounds, will not be done in a day: all this needs time,patience, resolute effort, and a willingness to forgo selfish local gains for the sake of a larger common good -- the unification of mankind and the replenishment of life. Nothing that is worth doing in our time will be done easily; that is , without a spiritual rebirth. Unless the blind recover their sight and the crippled learn to walk our very knowledge will slay us. No peace without struggle; no security without risk; no wholeness without simplification; no goods without measure; no love without sacrifice; no full life without the willingness to accept and transcend death in the very process of living. Those who have learned this lesson may build the City of Man."

Wikiversity shouldn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy, with more and more work simply investigating the problems that occur here or on the other projects. The problems that resulted from previous similar attempts can, in part, be attributed to the lack of enough established policies. I am not saying that what goes on here or on another WMF project should never be the subject of work here, rather that it is probably too early in the development of this project to do so. We need to focus on developing an appropriate set of policies to address some of the issues that have and will continue to arise.

For now I just want to get this idea out hoping that it can help gel the meanings of the wv and its culture.--[[User:John Bessa|John]][[Image:bessa66.png|12px]][[User:John Bessa|Bessa]]<sup>[[User talk:John Bessa|talk]]</sup> 16:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC) === Roundtable 2 === At the risk of confusing things further....

I feel strongly that if Wikiversity doesn't start at the beginning by deciding exactly how exclusive it is going to be, it will end up a portal to a very limited and biased knowledge base. With out examining this first and making intentional and brave community decisions about it, every policy that is debated will default into the exclusive narrow perspective of those already involved in the project (no where near all the perspectives needed to truly provide a global resource of collaborative knowledge educational materials) [[User:Jriggsy|Jriggsy]] 00:47, 11 September 2009 (UTC) :::That sounds a lot like [[Wikiversity:Archive/No early policies]] from 2006. Despite the [[Wikiversity talk:Archive/No early policies|lack of concensus]] on that proposal that is pretty much a good description of how things have been for the past few years. This lack of policy has caused a number of problems and disagreements.

This suggests to me that our tutorials are missing something; indeed, I'm not sure if it's clear to someone who's completely unfamiliar with Wikimedia projects how to start a new project at all; when you type in something and click "Go", if it doesn't exist, you'll get a "Did you mean to create [[X]]?" notice, but it doesn't actually mention you have to click on the redlinked word to create the project. Perhaps we could work on these resources? [[user:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] <sup>[[User talk:Jade Knight|(d'viser)]]</sup> 22:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC) :A good place to start is [[Wikiversity:School and university projects]] though I admit it could use some work.

[[user:Jade Knight|The Jade Knight]] <sup>[[User talk:Jade Knight|(d'viser)]]</sup> 04:54, 28 August 2009 (UTC) :::Well, I think there are two or three levels of contributing to Wikiversity. The first one is just edit a page and it seems to me that this guy, missed the way, how to do so. I would recomend some mwmessages around the foundation of a new page and also set one-two phrases about "the start" to the important help pages. The other problem might be "how to accomodate my pedagogical needs" in that case some study is needed. When we start to work with MS Word/OO Writer it is very simple to start edit, but then we have to study a little bit the software, the same with MediaWiki. In that case, there should be a compendium of knoweledge: :::*basic of editing :::*intermediate editing skills :::*(X)HTML :::*CSS :::*using a dynamic content and so on... :::Maybe the video tutorial may help also.--[[User:Juan de Vojníkov|Juan de Vojníkov]] 07:58, 16 September 2009 (UTC) == navcontent == --[[User:Altera vista|Altera vista]] 13:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC) I went to mediawiki and found the code that would achieve what i like to do as I tried to use their example at wikiversity it did not work. any suggestions?

It is closely related to Welsh and Breton, and sits - linguistically as well as geographically - in between the two. Cornish went into decline during the 17th and 18th centuries and ceased to be a community language, but it has now been revived and the number of speakers is growing. There are currently around 3,500 people with knowledge of the language and it is taught in many Cornish schools. Some young people have been brought up to be native Cornish speakers.

Throughout the design of the electric circuit lesson, students discussed as a class, gave examples of why they thought what they thought to each other, then finally were prompted to be specific in their learning of how they knew what they knew; a moodle forum prompt. Just as stated in an article by King (1994), if students practice lesson-based questions as well as ones intended to access prior knowledge/experience and promote connections between the lesson and that knowledge, their growth is that much more acknowledged. When students are reminded and made aware of their prior knowledge after having a collected body of evidence, they will be more likely to retain the new information learned. Why? Because one who has been in an experience is more likely to remember an integration of a familiar concept once experienced by self and a newly generated experience constructed within the classroom. King, A. (1994). Children How to Question and How to ExplainGuiding Knowledge Construction in the Classroom: Effects of Teaching Children How to Question and How to Explain . American Educational Research Journal, 31(2), 338-368. '''2.''' Because students will go out of their way (ignoring, shutting down, distraction) to avoid a fact that contradicts their current "logical" ideas about how something works, the classroom needs to establish a culture where a student may be called out at any moment to counter attack an idea that is against their norm. Although this relies more on the extrinsic motivation side, it seems to hold true that knowing you'll eventually be in an instance of defending a position against someone else's arguments will help increase instrinsic motivation due to increased competencies of practicing defending against other positions.

Students also evaluate their thinking and how it has changed from beginning to end of the electric circuit activities. '''Background:''' Students have built basic series circuits, parallel circuits, tested conductors and nonconductors within those circuits, and have explained what evidence there is to support that an interaction has occurred within these various elements of electricity. All of this was done through an inquiry based lab by following curricular procedures. As with most science concepts, students were asked to make a hypothesis to the following scenario before they began the above experimental investigations: “If you had 2 light bulbs within the same circuit, and both bulbs were shining light, what would happen to one of the light bulbs if you removed one of the working light-bulbs?” |} {| cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" style="width: 90%; background-color: inherit; color:inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" | style="width: 40%; background-color: #e4c8cd;{{Text default color}}; border: 2px solid #969696; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" rowspan="2" | [[Image:Check_mark.svg|right|98px]] ==Evaluate/ Elaborate/ Extensions and Links== '''Evaluate:''' Teacher comments on moodle forum posts.

Students use an online Simulator:[http://interactionsinfo.net/simulations/emdtutorial/index_ca.html] to run the experiment; students collect data by using an online ammeter attached to their circuits. The current (Ma) is measured for circuits using 1,2,3, then 4 cells incrementally. ''Part 2:'' Student create a graph using an online program: Create a Graph [http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createAgraph/default.aspx]. They use their values obtained from the 4 different cells and current. Once the graph is complete they upload it to moodle [https://moodle.sandi.net/login/index.php]. '''Explain:''' Students evaluate their process and changes in their thinking on an online forum. The forum allows students to post their thoughts so that the teacher and all others within the class can observe their ideas and also may respond to their ideas. The prompt/ purpose of the forum post is: “<u>Consider what you hypothesized as to what would happen to lights in a circuit if you took one out. Evaluate in detail ( 3 sentences minimum) how your thinking has changed now that you have evidence from our electric circuit lesson.”</u> Students are required to look in their journals to find their observations/ evidence from today’s and the previous electric circuit interactions activities to make their evaluation credible and reflective as to what they thought at the beginning. Also, students are not required <u>BUT</u> were encouraged to reply to other student’s moodle [https://moodle.sandi.net/login/index.php] forum posts on whether they agreed or disagreed with the other students thinking; if they disagreed, they were asked to give evidence from their personal information to counterargue the other student’s ideas. |} [[Category:Secondary Science Lessons]] hpltbg8podd981lk7j2os8d50vlhg8s User:Fedosin 2 103558 2808013 2788679 2026-05-09T11:36:33Z Fedosin 196292 /* Other publications */ 2808013 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Sergey Fedosin.jpg|250px|thumb|Sergey Grigor'yevich Fedosin]] ==Academic degrees == Specialist degree, Radiophysics, Perm State University, 1978.

Natural Science Institute (ENI) is a multifunctional center of science and research at Perm State University; it has more then 10 laboratories (physics, chemistry, biology, physical chemistry, radiobiology and so on). At ENI, I worked in the laboratory of organic semiconductors. The chemists of the laboratory synthesized some new semiconductors and physicists found their properties. My first task was constructing of special techniques for measurement of Hall effects in organic semiconducting crystals. The accuracy of the equipment after many improvements was about 10 nV, so I used it for my research of Hall effects and conductivity of crystals and powder of the new materials. May 2000 – September 2003 Scientific Researcher (Laboratory of Radiospectroscopy at Perm State University). During my work in the Laboratory I was a team member in two projects: «Technology for generation of diamonds in graphite by electromagnetic forces», and «Apparatus for demonstration of ball lightning». Both projects were on the base of research grants of Department of science Administration of Perm Region. ==Memberships/Affiliations (current) == The editor of [http://sergf.ru/index.htm Perm scientific site], guest editor of Special Issue ''Time, Space and Matter: open questions and new perspectives'' for International Journal of Physics. ==Awards == Student research work at Physical Technical Institute by A.F.

Study of physical phenomena and then using the results of operations should include the philosophical component. This ensures maximum return on applied research methods and provides an additional synergistic effect. Development of new ideas is impossible without a deeper philosophy. :Relativity theory. The primary goal of any physical theory is the description of phenomena in the framework of a system based on the knowledge of these phenomena in other similar systems. In common relativity describes the transformation of relations of physical quantities from one system to another. This is the basis for modeling of phenomena, the application of similarity theory, networking and laws. Analysis of the relativity of the device work provides important directions of research in technology. :Fundamental forces. It is well known that on a macro scale is the main force of gravitation, the transition to the atoms and molecules is dominated by electromagnetic forces, and at the level of elementary particles are nuclear forces. Description of these forces is based on mathematical formulas derived from the symmetry of interactions. But it is equally important to build physical models of the substantial interactions, which allows understanding the true causes of forces. This may be of significant assistance in applied research, from the ordering of electrons in superconductivity, and ending with the ordering of molecules in liquid crystals. :Infinite hierarchical nesting of matter. In this theory, matter is divided into different levels so that between them it is possible find the relation of similarity. This allows assessment of the values of physical quantities in various systems, using only a few basic characteristics of these systems. This approach complements the method of describing systems based on the use of natural physical units. ==Books == The theory of similarity between the atomic and stellar systems is described in the first book. <ref name=book1> Fedosin S.G.

Firstly, new philosophical logic called “syncretics” is developed. The discovery was made – all philosophical categories together constitute a mathematical group and have the group properties. As a result, instead of the three previously known philosophical laws (unity and struggle of opposites, transformation of quantity into quality, negation of negation) it becomes possible to formulate new philosophical laws. Among these new laws we could mention the law of conservation and change in the system’s organization, the law of the existence flow, the law of multiplication of structures and many others (a total of 27 new laws). Secondly, a new philosophical system is created – the philosophy of carriers. The basis of this philosophy are five postulates of which all the theory is deduced (similarly the Euclidean geometry has 5 postulates). Thirdly, based on the field equations a theorem is proved that relates the energy fluxes of various kinds in the space volume with the laws of conservation of momentum, energy and angular momentum. The origin of life was further developed in the fourth monograph. <ref> Fedosin S.G. [https://payhip.com/b/SnDc Nositeli zhizni : proiskhozhdenie i ėvoliutsiia.] – S.-Peterburg: Dmitriĭ Bulanin, 2007, 104 pages. {{ISBN|978-5-86007-556-6}}.</ref> On the basis of a large amount of factual material has been proven that the masses and lengths of living beings faithfully replicate the masses and lengths of the non-living carriars. Thus, the same similarity relations were true not only between different spatial levels of organization of matter, but also between the levels of living carriers of their masses in the hundreds of tons (whales) and up to a mass comparable to the mass of individual atoms (prions). As a result the philosophical conclusion follows about parallel co-existence in the nature of live and lifeless as two philosophical opposites, are jointly organizing the whole nature around them. With respect to the Earth it is proved by the fact that it is biological evolution over billions of years radically transformed the geochemistry of the ocean, the earth's surface and the atmosphere. As a result, the question of the origin of life (from nonliving matter?) is converted to a question about the ways in which life on the lowest scale level has the opportunity to grow and move to the higher scale levels of matter.

With the help of the language of vectors and tensors electrodynamics and gravitation theory (in the form of LITG and CTG) are axiomatized. Besides the field equations of Maxwell type, the similar equations for the matter are derived, which allowed axiomatizing the theory of matter as well. Using the [[operator of proper-time-derivative]] the expression for the [[four-force]] density is found and it is shown that the equation of motion of general relativity theory is a special case of the equation of motion of CTG. Based on the idea of [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Strong gravitation | strong gravitation]], torsion field and electromagnetic forces in the [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Gravitational model of strong interaction | gravitational model of strong interaction]], the nuclear forces responsible for the integrity of nuclei and elementary particles themselves are explained. Besides, the [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Strong gravitational constant | strong gravitational constant]] is introduced and the stability of electron, proton and atoms in the strong gravitational field and in the proper electric field is calculated. On the basis of the theory of infinite nesting of matter the substantial electron model is constructed and the cause of its spin is derived. The energy definition is given in the tensor form and the meaning of entropy is established. The model of emergence and maintenance of inversely varying magnetic field in space objects is described. The origin and the internal structure of ball lightning and bead lightning is explained in the same way. A model of appearance and maintaining of inversely varying magnetic field in a rather massive space objects like the Earth and the Sun is described. The arguments against the existence of black holes are presented. In August 2021, the book “Horizons in World Physics”, Volume 306, was published, <ref name=fedhor> Sergey G. Fedosin.

When turning from a classical to a relativistic uniform system, a method is used to calculate the internal field potentials with the help of the gauge function that satisfies the Laplace equation. The external electric potential and the field strength are found by separating variables using Legendre polynomials. Separation of variables for calculating the external vector potential and the magnetic field leads to the need to introduce new polynomials proportional to the sine of the spherical zenith angle. The first seven such polynomials are calculated, which are sufficient to find the vector potential in the quadrupole approximation. ==Comments == The theory of infinite nesting of matter implies the existence in the Universe of new particles – [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Nuon | nuon]]s, the number of which is comparable with the total number of nucleons. At the stellar level the analogues of nuons are the white dwarfs, the number of which exceeds the number of neutron stars. Introduction of nuons allows explaining the redshift and background radiation effects, solving the problem of invisible dark matter and dark energy, and understanding the effect of attenuation of radiation from distant supernovae as a result of photons’ scattering on the nuons. <ref> Fedosin S.G.

In case of a weak field it is proved that the [[invariant energy]] of a massive body is not just the sum of non-gravitational and gravitational energies of the body according to the general theory of relativity, but also is equal to the difference between the matter energy, as the sum of masses of individual baryons of this matter, and the sum of other energies, including the energy of fields and the internal kinetic energy of the matter. For the total energy of the massive body and its mass the expression is derived, which includes only the energy of fundamental fields and the energy of strong gravitation. As a consequence, the content of the principle of mass and energy equivalence is specified. In the theory of infinite nesting of matter the objects of higher levels of matter consist of the objects of lower levels of matter. If we take a set of objects of a certain level of matter and make up more massive objects of them, then the heavier the object will be, the more its mass will differ from the sum of masses of the original objects. According to the standard opinion, decrease in mass should take place mainly due to contribution of the negative mass-energy of the gravitational field, holding together the matter of massive objects. However, from a philosophical point of view, another possibility can be admitted – the relative mass of objects can increase as we move to higher levels of matter. Such a possibility is admitted in an article, <ref>Fedosin S.G.

The latter is expressed in terms of the three-dimensional generalized momentum in an explicit form, as well is determined in terms of the 4-velocity, scalar potentials and strengths of gravitational and electromagnetic fields, taking into account the metric. Such notions are introduced into consideration as 4-dimensional generalized velocity and Hamiltonian 4-vector, and the problem of body mass is again considered. In order to describe the properties of mass three different masses are introduced: one of them is related to the rest energy by Einstein's formula, another is the observable mass, and the third mass is determined from the condition of absence of the energy of macroscopic fields in the matter. It is shown that the action function has a physical meaning as the function that describes the change of intrinsic properties, such as the rate of proper time flow and the increase rate of the phase angle of periodic processes.

Based on the fundamental principles, 4-potentials of the [[acceleration field]] and [[pressure field]] are introduced into the theory. On the basis of these 4-potentials such tensors are constructed in a relativistically covariant way, as the [[acceleration tensor]] and [[pressure field tensor]], as well as the [[acceleration stress-energy tensor]] and [[pressure stress-energy tensor]]. So, the tensors are found that previously were derived phenomenologically and only approximately described the energy-momentum of matter and pressure. The equations of the acceleration and pressure fields are similar in form to the Maxwell equations. Adding the 4-potentials of gravitational and electromagnetic fields and tensor invariants of these fields to the Lagrangian allows us to find the Hamiltonian, i.e. the relativistic energy of the system of multitude of particles and fields. Interpretation of the cosmological constant is given as the energy density of the particles at rest at infinity located at a distance from each other. This allows us to uniquely express the energy and momentum of the system, and to ultimately simplify the equation for the metric. <ref name=wf> Fedosin S.G.

In order to describe the dissipation of the kinetic energy of matter fluxes in a viscous medium, the 4-potential of the [[dissipation field]], [[dissipation field tensor]] and [[dissipation stress-energy tensor]] are considered in the field theory. Further application of the principle of least action allows us to find the dissipation field equations and the equations of motion of matter particles, which are equivalent to the Navier-Stokes equations.

In the course of study of space systems in the theory of [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter | Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter]], the properties of the [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Hydrogen system | hydrogen system]] were determined and the idea of [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Quantization of parameters of cosmic systems | quantization of parameters of cosmic systems]] was developed. On the basis of the theorem of [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/SPФ symmetry | SPФ symmetry]] and the [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Similarity of matter levels | similarity of matter levels]] in the study of [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Scale dimension |scale dimension]], the following characteristics were derived, inherent in the space systems, from the smallest particles to metagalaxies and larger objects: # The interpenetration of systems into each other, considered up to infinity. # The distribution of cosmic objects by the matter levels, which are the steps in the infinite hierarchy of space systems, based on a geometric progression. # The similarity of systems, including the similarity of shapes, sizes, masses, speeds of processes, equations of motion. # The interaction of systems with each other as a mode of existence. # Direct and indirect replication and reproduction of systems. # The systems’ generation of material emissions in the form of fluxes of particles and field quanta, which result in total in formation of fundamental forces, acting on the systems at other levels. # Distribution of the systems with living objects among the space systems according to the same laws that are characteristic of the systems with non-living matter (nesting of the living in the living; correspondence of the sizes and masses of living beings to the sizes and masses of space objects; location of living beings at the matter levels according to geometric progression; recurrence of forms and modes of existence of the living at the similar scales levels; reproduction in the living objects of those fluxes and forces that form the living objects at a new level). In the philosophy of carriers, presented in 2003, many philosophical laws were formulated as the laws that are valid for all types of systems. <ref name=book3/> These include: # The law of development of the system’s opposites. # The law of unity and struggle of the system’s opposites. # The law of conservation and variation of the system’s organization. # The law of the extremum of the system’s organization. # The law of similarity of carriers at different scale levels. # The law of connection of the organization’s extrema and the motion fluxes. # The law of connection of the organization and the existence flow. # The law of conservation and variation of carriers. # The law of development of carriers (systems). # The law of mutually complementary components of the system. # The law of reproduction of structures. # The law of the essence’s expression. In the course of formulating the laws, the philosophical definitions of [[w:Closed system |closed system]], self-contained system, [[w:Isolated system |isolated system]] and [[w:Open system (systems theory) |open system]] were given. Syncretics is regarded as a general methodology of the systems study in philosophy and systems science (systemology). Syncretics is a multi-valued philosophical logic, generalizing the metaphysical and dialectical logics. This allows us with the help of syncretics to formulate the rules of operations, to find the required combinations of categories in principles and laws, and to apply a systematic approach to any science and field of knowledge. Syncretics and philosophy of carriers substantiate the theory of infinite nesting of matter from a philosophical standpoint. <ref> Fedosin S.G.

The purpose is to check dependence of the force on the distance. According to <ref name=wf/> the gravitational mass of a body decreases with increasing of electric charge of the body, as a result of electric mass-energy contribution. This conclusion may be checked in an experiment. == See also == {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| # [[Acceleration field]] # [[Acceleration stress-energy tensor]] # [[Acceleration tensor]] # [[Physics/Essays/Fedosin/Characteristic speed | Characteristic speed]] #

This Learning Project focusses on English Law and covers topics of law at an undergraduate level but it is not a formal qualification. If you wish to practise as a solicitor or a barrister in England Wales you will have to enrol on a formal LLB degree or GDL course. The Project is designed to provide an informal learning experience, which may provide knowledge and skills that can be used elsewhere. The project comprises a number of units, each of which covers a separate area of English Law. As tempting as it might be to compare this with the structure of a formal law degree, we don't allocate "credits" or "points" to any of the units. Each unit contains a number of smaller subunits and is designed to be studied alongside a relevant textbook from Wikibooks, one of the partner websites of Wikiversity. The links for the textbooks can be found at the start of each unit. Each unit outline will also list additional recommended texts, articles and other materials, which are not compulsory but intended for deeper independent study. Throughout each unit there will be opportunities in the form of quizzes and short essays to enable you to reflect on the material and see how much you understand. There is a large quiz at the end of the unit, which you can repeat as any times as you wish until you are confident of your understanding of the material. Additionally, there are a number of case studies and suggested essays to complement your studies as well as recommendations for further reading. </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">Project summary</h2 > * '''Project code:''' English Law * '''Prerequisites:''' None * '''Time investment:''' 1 calendar year * '''Assessment suggestions:''' ** A series of quizzes in lieu of examinations on various aspects of English Law from the 12th century onwards including relevant case law: '''40%'''<!--estimated guess--> ** A series of detailed essays written as journal articles for peer-reviewing: '''40%'''<!--estimated guess--> ** A multi-part personal development portfolio: '''20%'''<!--estimated guess--> * '''[[WV:Major portals|Portal]]:''' [[Portal:Humanities|Humanities]] * '''[[WV:Schools|School]]:''' [[School:Law|Law]] * '''Level:''' Introductory—Advanced </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">Content summary</h2 > * In this Learning Project, participants will learn about the history and development of English Law from the 12th century to the modern era, with a particular focus on areas that are usually part of undergraduate law degrees, especially the compulsory ones required before a person can commence practising as a solicitor or a barrister.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/Law-careers/Becoming-a-solicitor/Qualifying-as-a-solicitor/qualifying-with-a-law-degree/|title=Qualifying with a law degree|publisher=The Law Society of England and Wales}}</ref> * One of the goals of this project is to utilise free materials, so the learner does not have to pay expensive subscriptions. This will be achieved by the use of a series of free textbooks (from Wikibooks), original source material for statutes and cases, a series of law reports at Wikiversity, the development of a WikiJournal of Law, quizzes and other freely available resources. * It will be noted that purely academic study is insufficient in preparing for legal practice and thus there will be suggested tools to enable some of these aspects. The limitations of online courses like this inhibit more active participation such as the classical skill of {{w|moot court}} but there will be recommendations for overcoming these obstacles. </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">Goals</h2 > {{law}} * Study and understand the origins of English Law; * Examine the current state of English Law, particularly in light of the withdrawal from the European Union; * Suggest tools and methods for participants to improve their practical skills. </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">Subjects</h2> {{center|'''<big>[[/Introduction/]]</big>'''<br>[[/History/]]&nbsp;&#9642;&nbsp;[[/System/]]&nbsp;&#9642;&nbsp;[[/Skills/]]}} {{col-begin}} {{col-break}} ;Foundation<ref>These are compulsory subjects for a qualifying law degree.</ref> * [[/Public Law/]] * [[/Criminal/]] ([[:b:English Criminal Law|Wikibook]]) * [[/Equity and Trusts/]] ([[:b:Equity and Trusts|Wikibook]]) * [[/European Union/]] ([[:b:European Union Law|Wikibook]]) ** [[/European Union/Case guide|Case guide]] ** [[Brexit Learning Project|Brexit]] * [[/Property/]]<ref>Also known as land law.</ref> ([[:b:English Property Law|Wikibook]]) * Obligations ** [[/Contract/]] ([[:b:English Contract Law|Wikibook]]) ** [[/Tort/]] ([[:b:English Tort Law|Wikibook]]) {{col-break}} ;Optional * [[/Admiralty/]] * [[/Commercial/]] ** Sale of Goods ** Services * [[/Company/]] ([[:b:UK Company Law|Wikibook]]) **[[/Company#Private|Private]] ** [[/Company#Public|Public]] * [[/Employment/]] * [[/Ethics/]] * [[/Family/]] * [[/Intellectual Property/]] * [[/Succession/]] {{col-break}} ;Supplemental * [[/Bibliography/]] ** [[/Bibliography/Authors|Authors]] * [[/Case List/]] * [[/Statute List/]] * [[Wikiversity Law Reports]] {{col-end}} </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">[[:Portal:Learning Materials|Learning materials]]</h2> {{col-begin}} {{col-break}} '''Sources''' * {{cite web|url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/legislation/index.htm|title=Primary legislation}} * {{cite web|url=http://www.bailii.org|title=Case law}} * {{cite web|url=http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld/ldjudgmt.htm|title=House of Lords Judgments<!--Please note this is the correct spelling.-->}} (1996—2009) * {{cite web|url=http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/criminal.htm|title=Law Commission Reports and Consultation Papers}} {{col-break}} ;Texts * [[b:WB:Law bookshelf|Wikibooks Law Series]] * [[s:Magna Carta|Magna Carta]] at Wikisource * [[s:Bill of Rights 1689|Bill of Rights 1689]] at Wikisource {{col-end}} </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">[[Portal:Learning Projects#Learning Groups|Active participants]]</h2 > * {{u|Green Giant}} * {{U|Weeboybrice}} </div> <div style="display:block;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;vertical-align: top;width:100%; background-color:#f9f9ff;{{Text default color}};margin-bottom:10px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:4px;"> <h2 style="padding:3px; background:#aaccff; color:#000; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:100%; margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:0;margin-left:-5px;margin-right:-4px;">Notes</h2 > {{Reflist}} </div> {{CourseCat}} [[Category:United Kingdom Law|*]] __NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__ qgug12ciflwxoys7a66fdi6jvxo9qpy Katie Harwood 0 124151 2807941 2807893 2026-05-08T17:02:58Z Tola73 3020076 /* Synopsis */ Added a citation 2807941 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Katherine "Katie" Harwood''' is a fictional character in the 2002 film ''Ghost Ship'' where an innocent young girl goes on a sea voyage of a lifetime, only to be caught up in a living nightmare aboard the ill-fated ocean liner. In the film, Katie is the supporting deuteragonist to the main character (Maureen Epps) and stands in stark contrast to the completely evil and demonic antagonist (Jack Ferriman). In many regards, Katie is just as much of a heroine as Maureen Epps for enduring unfathomable suffering and risking the wrath of Jack Ferriman through her unyielding efforts to save the souls and lives of others on the ship.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Katie is portrayed by a young [[w:Emily Browning|Emily Jane Browning]]. == Significance == Katie is an iconic representation of childhood from an earlier era, at a time when life was simpler, and childhood more innocent.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> She stands out in a coarse mixed reviewed horror film as a compelling, distinctive and enduring character who subverts common horror child tropes.<ref>https://michellepatterson.net/2018/03/23/ghostship-film-review/Michelle Patterson Publications</ref><ref>https://moviefilmreview.com/186187/movie-review-of-ghost-ship-2002?utm_source=chatgpt.com/ Cal Knox Movie Review</ref><ref>https://lmariewood.com/2025/05/23/horror-tropes-when-to-use-them-and-when-to-subvert-them/ L. Marie Wood; Horror Tropes: When to Use Them and When to Subvert Them</ref> With the Shout! Factory 20-year anniversary Blue-ray rerelease of ''Ghost Ship,'' Katie is made the new face of the film in the promotional artwork, elevating a morally intact child to iconic status; something very few horror children achieve, and even more so as a tragic and sympathetic figure without villainy.<ref>https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=27285/ Shout! Factory Ghost Ship 20-year anniversary collector’s edition Blu-ray disc</ref> == Synopsis == In May of 1962, an endearing Katie waves goodbye to her grandparents in [[Europe]] and journeys solo aboard the exquisite ''Antonia Graza'' on an exclusive cruise to rejoin her family in New York City. Since Katie is the only child onboard, she receives special care and attention. In describing her voyage Katie states, ”The whole ship was my playground, also beautiful. I was the only child onboard, so the ship’s purser and captain took special care of me. I felt so safe and happy with them.”<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> However, after the Antonia Graza rescues a lone survivor and cargo from a sinking ship, Katie’s exciting journey suddenly takes a horrendous turn for the worse. Unbeknownst to Katie and her shipmates, the single survivor (Jack Ferriman) is literally a demonic henchman for Satan set on destroying lives and collecting souls. Ferriman informs select members of the crew about the millions in gold recovered from his sinking ship, and influences them to launch an elaborate plot to seize control of the Graza and the gold, by killing everyone onboard. Remarkably, Katie survives the opening massacre scene on the foredeck, nevertheless, as the lone survivor and witness this also makes her a liability for the conspirators.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Although several crewmembers and passengers try to save her life from the homicidal conspirators, Katie is eventually caught and tragically hanged to death, with her murder concealed behind the partitioning door of her cabin.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Instead of ascending to her rightful place in heaven, Katie’s spirit is trapped on the ship by demonic forces along with the entire compliment of murdered passengers and crew. However, since Katie is still a young child, her soul is completely innocent and therefore beyond the influence and control of the demonic Ferriman. Over the next 40 years, the evil Ferriman along with the help of the wicked “marked” souls, try to use the ship as a trap to destroy unsuspecting lives, and collect a quota of souls for hell. Despite being the only flicker of good on the ship, Katie bravely opposes Ferriman and the evil spirits, and attempts to warn and save the lives of anyone who has the misfortune of being lured aboard the condemned vessel. Concerning these things, Katie says, “Without the mark, Jack can’t control me and because of this, he hates me most of all; scaring me at every turn and chasing me away when I try to warn those who come here.”<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> When Maureen Epps and her ship salving crew are lured aboard the Graza by Ferriman, Katie attempts to warn them about the dangerous ship. Katie has very perceptive eyes, and finds Epps to be more open to the truth than her cohorts. Katie tries to leave Epps messages and clues, and even appears to her on several occasions. When Katie senses that Ferriman has sabotaged the salvage crew’s tugboat, she boldly tries to warn the crew, but is forcibly carried away by Ferriman. Epps witnesses Katie’s warning and sets off in search for the mysterious little girl. Epps locates Katie’s cabin and comes face to face with her remains and her spirit. Katie allows Epps to have her cherished heart-shaped locket, and then proceeds to speak directly about the ship being a demonic trap. However, before Katie can finish explaining, she is overheard by an invisible Ferriman and lets out a frightened scream as he removes her from the cabin. Undeterred, Katie returns and tries to help Epps and her remaining crewmembers escape. Endowed with supernatural power from above, Katie transports Epps back to May 21, 1962 through her memories and reveals to her the horrifying events that led to everyone’s death, including her own. Furthermore, Katie reveals the true identity of Jack Ferriman and his goal to use the ship as a conduit to collect souls for Satan.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> After experiencing Katie’s heartbreaking vision, Epps decides to risk almost certain death by destroying the cursed ship with explosives. However, Katie helps Epps escape the rapidly sinking vessel, while emancipated souls rise from the ship. Katie stays faithfully by Epps and gives her a grateful smile as her spirit ascends toward heaven.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> == Religious & Symbolic Implications == At its core, the story is deeply religious and the plot hinges on the concept of a young girl trying to save the lives (and ultimately souls) of others from demonic forces.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Metaphorical Murals===== The religious implications and [[Christian symbolism]] surrounding Katie’s story are rich. <ref>http://www.worsleyschool.net/socialarts/symbolism/page.html</ref> Although only lightly touched on in the final version of the film, the most obvious religious connections come through the [[Gustave Dore]] inspired murals displayed throughout the ship. The murals are depictions based on Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy and The Inferno. The metaphorical murals hint at the struggle between Katie and Ferriman over the lives and souls on the ship.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Lead actress Julianna Margulies says, “Katie is like Virgil in Dante’s Inferno. Margulies explains that Katie is like a “little guide” trying to lead others through hell and then safely onto the other side.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> As in the mural of Charon, Ferriman is literally a “ferry man” using a boat in the attempt to ferry souls to hell and eternal damnation. Conversely, Katie opposes Ferriman by trying to protect and warn all unsuspecting visitors and sharing the truth about the demonic ship. =====Marked Souls===== An additional concept presented in the plot are the “marked” souls. Like the murals in the story, the souls of the sinful and the “lost”<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN |page=563 | year=1983}}</ref> are marked with a hooked-shaped indention on their hand. Katie says the mark is “a sign of their sins” and that they are bound to the will of Satan and his demons, in addition to eventually sharing in their same flaming judgment.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> However, not all the murals are somber. The depiction of angels defeating the demons and casting them down foreshadows the eventual defeat of Ferriman and ultimately all evil.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====The Dove and Locket===== Another subtle, but implicit [[Christian symbolism]] is Katie’s heart-shaped locket with the image of a raised dove in flight.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=383}}</ref> In Christian tradition, this type of dove can symbolize innocence, purity, faith, hope, God’s peace, God’s presence through the [[Holy Spirit (Christianity)|Holy Spirit]] and God’s guidance and deliverance.<ref>http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05144b.htm</ref> The dove also indicated God’s bestowal of fortitude necessary to bear suffering and death<ref>{{cite book| last=Gauding |first=Madonna | title=The Signs and Symbols Bible |publisher=Sterling Publishing Co |location=New York, NY | year=2009 |page=82}}</ref>. In this sense, the remains of the dead dove on the bridge of the ship, foreshadows Katie’s death, but at the same time indicates that there could still be hope. When Epps puts on Katie’s locket, it implies that Epps now has a renewed heart, or possibly even salvation as stated in Bible scripture. In this manner, the locket could also represent that Epps’ soul is not "marked".<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Parallel of an Innocent and Sacrificial Life===== A striking parallel could also be drawn between Katie and Jesus Christ. In the bible, Christ lives a completely innocent life, but is hung on a cross to sacrificially die for the sins of all humanity.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |pages=2228-2229}}</ref> Christ tastes the sting of death and hell in order to offer salvation to all who will put their faith in Him.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=966}}</ref> Similarly, innocent Katie is hung by a rope behind a dividing door, but through her death she is able to lead others to "salvation" and safety. Because of her young age and innocent death, Katie is the only voice of hope for all the suppressed souls held captive on the demonic ship. Katie also endures small tastes of hell from Ferriman in her efforts to save others. However, Katie’s love and compassion for the lives of others is greater than her fear and pain, and in similarity to Christ, Katie rises victoriously to heaven in the end.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Forty Years and the Promised Land===== 40 years is a significant reoccurring number in the Christian faith.<ref>Collins English Dictonary http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/promised land</ref> The [[Israelites]] endured 40 years of great trial and testing in the wilderness before they were able to enter their promised land of rest. In Christian tradition, the earthly life is often compared to a time of trial in the wilderness and the Promised Land a metaphor for heaven.<ref>Collins English Dictonary http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/promised land</ref> Correspondingly, Katie has endured the “wilderness” and trials of the ship for 40 years, but as the result of Epps’ help she is inevitably freed to enter the “promised land” of heaven. =====Concept of Free Will===== Free will is both discussed and demonstrated in the story.<ref>{{cite book| last=Keck |first=Leander | title=The New Interpreter's Bible vol. 9 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN | year=2002 |pages=61-62}}</ref> Ultimately, the crew members who die are led to destruction by their own sins and their selfish desire for greed, lust and power. Epps is spared the fate of her shipmates through listening to Katie’s warnings and humbly responding to the truth.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Elevated Status of Children===== In the Christian bible God often uses the most humble and unlikely people to work through <ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=2283}}</ref> – Out of hundreds on the ship, Katie is the meekest, humblest and most unlikely to do anything significant, yet every soul on the ship ends up depending on her.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page production notes]</ref> Katie is also reminiscent of Christ elevating the status of children when he gave them special attention and profoundly declared that unless one humbles them self and has the faith of a little child, they will not enter the kingdom of heaven. This is further illustrated when Christ took a lowly child and placed him in the midst of his followers and stated that only those with childlike faith will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=963}}</ref> This concept is demonstrated by Epps' willingness to humble herself to Katie's level.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> The role of children in Christian scripture – Comparisons could be made between Katie and several unpretentious bible characters such as the lowly shepherd boy David who defeated the warrior Goliath and became king. Outwardly both young Katie and David appear to be nothing more that mere children, however, inwardly they possess vast unforeseen potential and a tremendous strength of character.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=563}}</ref> <ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Eternal Destinations===== In the film, as with [[Christian soteriology]] there are two clear eternal destinations which souls go to after death; ether heaven or hell. A heart of child-like faith will put one on the path to heaven, but a sinful life eventually leads to destruction.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=1902}}</ref> =====The Destructiveness of Sinful Choices===== One of the morals of the story is the corrupting dangers of pursuing riches. This theme also fits aptly within the religious concepts of the film.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> Sinful greed, lust, debauchery and selfish desire can influence ordinarily good people to do horribly evil things (1Timothy 6:9-10).<ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=2195 | year=1991}}</ref> The choices made by the characters in the story illustrate this principle. “Be sure your sins will find you out” – As the story goes, sinful activities have consequences and will eventually have to be accounted for, and the ultimate payment for sin in the end is both physical and spiritual death (Romans 6:20-23). <ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=2039 | year=1991}}</ref> <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Loving Others before Ourselves===== “Greater love has no one than this – To lay one’s life down for their friends.” Katie and Epps are both willing put themselves at risk to save lives. Through the process of trying to help others both Epps and Katie experience help for themselves.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> “Those who seek to save their life will lose it, but those who are willing to lose their life will save it.”<ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=1842 | year=1991}}</ref> In this sense Epps' life is saved, because she places the needs of others first. Katie also inherits eternal life in heaven by risking herself to help others. =====Purgatory===== The concept of purgatory (Whalen p. 1034-1039)<ref>{{cite book| last=Whalen |first=John | title=New Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11|publisher=Catholic University of America |location=Washington, D.C. | year=1983}}</ref> is also mentioned when Katie states that the ship had become like a “prison” where souls are trapped among the living between heaven and hell.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> ====Additional Symbolism==== =====Life as a Voyage on a Ship===== Life itself is comparable to a voyage on ship...illustrating that our lives are like a ship that is bound for one of two possible destinations.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> In the context of Ghost Ship, the voyage ends in destruction (death and hell) unless we get off. In this sense, Katie pleads with us to get off, but that involves humbly changing our ways and giving up the allure and pursuit of vain things such as wealth and power.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Symbols of Changing Times===== The once elegant and decaying ship is a symbol of changing times.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> In a similar manner, Katie can be viewed as a symbolic representation of childhood from a more innocent era. Just as the ship decays to ruin from its glorious 1950’s splendor, Katie’s deteriorating childhood possessions and even Katie herself, are evocative symbols of changing times and eroding childhood innocence.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> == Dichotomy and Contrasts == Katie is in some ways a complicated paradox: She has been deeply hurt and traumatized by all she has experienced, but by the same token, she is still very much an innocent child – Even after 40 years of resilient growth as a character. Katie exhibits a wide array of emotions from timid youthful innocence and joy, to extreme terror, sadness, loneliness, and solemn distress.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> ====Characters==== Even under tremendously trying circumstances Katie demonstrates an incredible inner strength of character without compromising the sweet kind-hearted "girly" girl she really is. The fact that Katie remains true to herself in spite of all the evil and suffering she experienced transcends their eroding influence and distinguishes her from the other characters.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Ferriman===== Ferriman is representative of Satan and the crafty deceptiveness of evil in destroying people’s lives. Katie and Ferriman are at completely opposite ends of the Christian spectrum – The demonic Ferriman is totally depraved and evil while Katie is sweet and innocent. Katie is motivated by love and compassion, Ferriman is motivated by hate and rage.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> <ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Epps===== Although Katie and Epps are two completely dissimilar characters from different eras, they still grow quite close. Epps is "a woman working in a man's world"<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> and appears somewhat tough and masculine on the exterior like a tomboy. Although not specifically stated, the story indicates that Epps is likely from a broken home. On the other hand, Katie comes from a close, traditional nuclear family. In contrast to Epps, Katie is more of a typical "girly" girl and is slightly timid, but possess a stout inner fortitude despite her diminutive and delicate appearance.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Francesca===== The sultry Francesca lives the more representative life of a performing artist. Unlike Epps who feels the need to downplay her femininity, Francesca leans toward the other extreme and attempts to flaunt her femininity to her own advantage, even to the point of her own exploitation. Conversely, Katie is still a virtuous and modest little girl, who has yet to be tainted by any corrupting influences of the world.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Captain Murphy===== Captain Murphy appears to be a strong imposing ship captain on the outside, however, when confronted with trials and tribulations, his perceived strength is shown to be superficial. This is evident by his emotional breakdown where he shuts off emotionally and withdraws to himself while attempting to drown his problems in alcohol. In contrast, Katie appears to be very delicate in both physical appearance and personality. However, despite her dainty appearance, Katie proves her true strength and fortitude from within through dealing with her pain and problems directly, instead of allow it to define her<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> ====General Themes==== Light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, childhood innocence vs. wickedness, tragedy vs. triumph, simpler more wholesome times, vs. the complexity and loss of innocence of today.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> == Conclusion == On the surface, Katie’s story is an emotional tale of heartache and tragedy – Something that no young person should ever have to endure. However, Katie’s story is also essential to the plot. <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> Through helping each other and being willing to put themselves at risk, Katie and Epps together achieve a triumph out of the tragedy and deliver a major blow to Ferriman and the forces of evil. Although the struggle over the souls of people will continue, this victory of the human spirit gives hope even in the face of terrible suffering, evil and even death.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> “Katie is really a very sweet girl. She's completely innocent…“ says Emily Jane Browning, who obviously became completely immersed in her character. “…She's been hoping someone would come onto the ship to be her friend, so when Epps arrives she's very excited – they develop a real friendship."<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> ”Emily did an amazing job,” Director Steve Beck enthuses. “She gave Katie a real complexity…she's not just a little girl caught up in a ghost story…” Both Browning and Beck also added that underneath all her heartfelt emotions, Katie longs for vindication and justice.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> The deeply symbolic and metaphorical aspects surrounding Katie’s story along with the close relationships she develops with others lends support to the notion that the film was originally intended to be more than just another Hollywood “slasher” horror. This is further substantiated by Katie’s tearful and heartfelt story – Emotionally poignant and touching drama not usually associated with a horror picture.<ref>http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/ghost_ship_info.txt</ref> == References == ===Footnotes=== {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}} ===Cited Texts=== {{refbegin}} *{{cite book| last=Barclay | first=William | title=The Gospel of Mark |publisher=Westminster Press | location=Philadelphia, PA | isbn=0664213022 | year=1975}} *{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | isbn=0-19-875500-7 | year=2001}} *{{cite book| last=Boettner |first=Loraine | title=Roman Catholicism |publisher=Presbyterian & Reformed Publishing Co. |location=Phillipsburg, NJ |isbn=0875521304 | year=1985}} *{{cite book| last=Buttrick |first=George | title=The Interpreter's Bible vol. 12 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |asin=B000HTP248 | year=1957}} *{{cite book |title=Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition |date=2009 | publisher=Harper Collins |location=New York, NY}} *{{cite book| last=Dummelow |first=J.R. | title=Commentary on the Whole Bible |publisher=Macmillian Publishing Co. |location=New York, NY | year=1936}} *{{cite book| last=Gaebelein |first=Frank | title=The Expositors Bible Commentary vol. 1 |publisher=Zondervan |location=Grand Rapids, MI |isbn=0310364302 | year=1979}} *{{cite book| last=Gauding |first=Madonna | title=The Signs and Symbols Bible |publisher=Sterling Publishing Co. |location=New York, NY |isbn=1402770049| year=2009}} *{{cite book| last=Jamieson |first=Fausset | title=Commentary on the Whole Bible |publisher=Zondervan |location=Grand Rapids, MI| asin=B004BCQP8O | year=1971}} *{{cite book| last=Keck |first=Leander | title=New Interpreter's Bible vol. 9 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0687278228 | year=2002}} *{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | lccn=90-71553| year=1991}} *{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0840752954 | year=1983}} *{{cite book| last=Wall |first=Robert | title=The New Interpreter's Bible vol. 10 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0687278236 | year=2002}} *{{cite book| last=Whalen |first=John | title=New Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11 |publisher=Catholic University of America |location=Washington D.C. | lccn=66-22292 | year=1967}} {{refend}} == External links == * [http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/ghost_ship_info.txt/ Daily Script_Ghost Ship] * [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288477/ Internet Movie Database_Ghost Ship 2002] * [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes] * [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ghost_ship/ Rotten Tomatoes movie review_Ghost Ship] [[Category:Analysis]] [[Category:Film]] j3u6p38kpcc6p31g1ph4vi4hr1xlvaa United Kingdom Law/Reform 0 132871 2807928 1880944 2026-05-08T16:29:36Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807928 wikitext text/x-wiki {| style="width:100%;

As always, there will be vocabulary to be memorized. ==How to pronounce Esperanto== Esperanto is exactly pronounced as it is written and written as pronounced. Despite being a constructed language that is mainly spoken by second-language speakers, there are distinct norms about what is a good pronunciation. We will start this course by discussing and practicing these norms. '''b''', '''d''', '''f''', '''h''', '''m''', '''n''', '''v''', and '''z''' are pronounced as in English. As in most native English accents, '''b''' and '''d''' are still pronounced as such (i.e. as ''voiced consonants'') at the end of a word, and do not become devoiced to something like a "p" or "t", e.g. "sub" and "sed" do not sound like ''sup''* and ''set''*. Esperanto has 5 vowels, which are distinctly different from any of the vowels of English. They are the same as the five vowels of Spanish. All are pronounced clearly, without any offglides from one sound to another (which is common in English). If two vowels directly follow one another, then both are still pronounced exactly the same and as part of different syllables. In words of two or more syllables, the next-to-last syllable ([[w:penult|penult]]) is ''always'' stressed. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:lime; {{Text default color}};" ! Letter !! Pronunciation ([[w:Help:Pronunciation|IPA]]) !! Audio !! Closest to English ... |- | a || /a/ || [[File:Open_central_unrounded_vowel.ogg]] || Between the most common pronunciations of English "f<u>'''a'''</u>ther" and "m<u>'''a'''</u>n". <br> The first part of English "i" in "f<u>'''i'''</u>ne" without the offglide to the 'ee'. |- | e || /e/ || [[File:Mid_front_unrounded_vowel.ogg]] || The first part of an English "a" in "l<u>'''a'''</u>ne" without the offglide to the 'ee'. |- | i || /i/ || [[File:Close front unrounded vowel.ogg]] || As English 'ee' in "<u>'''ee'''</u>l", but shorter. This is the most common pronunciation in "cit<u>'''y'''</u>". |- | o || /o/ || [[File:Mid back rounded vowel.ogg]] || The first part of an English "o" in "b<u>'''o'''</u>ne" without the offglide to the 'oo'. |- | u || /u/ || [[File:Close back rounded vowel.ogg]] || As English 'oo' in "b<u>'''oo'''</u>n", but shorter. |} Before continuing on to the consonants that are pronounced differently from English, take some time to practice pronouncing these vowels. The exercises below will guide you through this. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:palegreen; {{Text default color}};" ! Exercises |- | First, practice pronouncing the vowels on their own. Take your time to manage to pronounce them without any offglides. |- | Now practice pronouncing them together with some consonants: <br>'''ba''', '''fa''', '''ha''', '''ma''', '''na''', '''va''', '''za''', '''de''', '''fe''', '''he''', '''me''', '''ne''', '''ve''', '''ze''', '''bi''', '''fi''', '''hi''', '''mi''', '''ni''', '''vi''', '''zi''', '''bo''', '''do''', '''fo''', '''ho''', '''mo''', '''no''', '''vo''', '''zo''', '''du''', '''fu''', '''hu''', '''mu''', '''nu''', '''vu''', '''zu'''. <br>Again, take your time and make sure you pronounce them without any offglides. |- | Finally, practice them in some short words: <br>'''mano''', '''amo''', '''emo''', '''manon''', '''nubo''', '''nova''', '''novan''', '''ami''', '''emi''', '''umo''', '''nana''', '''vazo''', '''zono''', '''havi''', '''viva''', '''ino''', '''ido''', '''malo''', '''ano''', '''bele''', '''nenio'''. <br>Again, take your time and make sure you pronounce them without any offglides.<br>'''''Please note:''''' Because the stress in Esperanto is always on the next-to-last syllable, the last word in this list is syllabified as "ne-NI-o", with the (regular) stress as indicated. |} We'll now look at the consonants that are pronounced similarly to those in English. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:lime; {{Text default color}};" !

In Esperanto, "k" never comes with a puff of air. |- | l || /l/ || [[File:Alveolar lateral approximant.ogg]] || As in English, except that is not pronounced as 'thick' as in English. |- | p || /p/ || [[File:Voiceless bilabial stop.ogg]] || Always as in "s<u>'''p'''</u>in", never as in "<u>'''p'''</u>in". <br>The "p" in "<u>'''p'''</u>in" comes with a puff of air, whereas the one in "s<u>'''p'''</u>in" doesn't.

In Esperanto, "t" never comes with a puff of air. |} This pronunciation of "k", "p", and "t" is like their pronunciation in languages like French, Spanish, Italian, and Russian, among others. Let's now practice this: {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:palegreen; {{Text default color}};" ! Exercises |- | "g" is always pronounced hard. Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''igi''', '''ega''', '''ege''', '''igis'''. |- | Practice making a 'thin' "l", first by itself,<br> then by pronouncing it in several words: <br>'''la''', '''li''', '''lo''', '''mala''', '''malo''', '''ilo''', '''lamo''', '''lanuga''', '''lando''', '''lango''', '''leono''', '''ludo''', '''luli''', '''lulilo''', '''flava''', '''flugilo'''. <br><small>Remember that words are always stressed on the next-to-last syllable.</small> |- | "s" is always pronounced as an "s". Practice this by saying the following words out loud and making sure it never sounds like a "z": <br>'''roso''' vs. '''rozo''', '''lenso''' |- | "k", "p", and "t" are never accompanied by a puff of air. Practice this by saying the following words out loud and put your hand a short distance in front of your mouth the check that there is not accompanying puff of air: <br>'''skemo''', '''skono''', '''sklavo''', '''kelo''', '''kanalo''', '''kamelo''', '''spleno''', '''spamo''', '''plena''', '''plenigi''', '''plu''', '''pluvo''', '''stelo''', '''stilo''', '''tio''', '''tiu''', '''tial''', '''ties''', '''tiam''', '''tagon''', '''stato''', '''timon''', '''tako''', '''tavolo''', '''titolo''', '''tutan''', '''kato''', '''poto''', '''lito''', '''lifto''', '''lipo''', '''konata''', '''katalogo''', '''psiko'''. <br><small>Remember that words are always stressed on the next-to-last syllable.</small> |} Esperanto also has several letters with pronunciations that are quite different from the associated pronunciation in English and a few letters that do not exist in English. Most of these latter letters have familiar pronunciations, however. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:lime; {{Text default color}};" ! Letter !!

This sound almost always occurs in one of the combinations "aŭ" or "eŭ". |} The diacritic on ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, and ŝ is called a circumflex, and the diacritic on ŭ is called a breve. Let's now practice this: {{anchor|pronunciationL1}} {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:palegreen; {{Text default color}};" ! Exercises |- | "j" is always pronounced as y. Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''ja''', '''jo''', '''jam''', '''jes''', '''juna''', '''ioj''', '''kaj''', '''tuj''', '''iojn''', '''tiajn''', '''kiuj''', '''objekto'''. |- | "c" is always pronounced as ts. Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''ci''', '''co''', '''cico''', '''ciano''', '''citi''', '''cent''', '''celo''', '''civito''', '''cepo''', '''laca''', '''danci''', '''centono''', '''censo''', '''cicumo''', '''civilizacio''', '''senchava''' (careful, the ''c'' and the ''h'' are pronounced separately). |- | "ĉ" is always pronounced as "ch". Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''ĉe''', '''ĉu''', '''ĉiam''', '''ĉies''', '''voĉo''', '''ĉielo''', '''ĉapelo''', '''ĉasi''', '''ĉeftablo''', '''ĉiea''', '''ĉipo''', '''ĉizo''', '''ĉiupova''', '''ĉevalaĉo''', '''ĉieesteco''' (note the ''c''), '''ĉervico''' (note the ''c''), '''ĉioj''', '''ĉiufoje'''. |- | "ĝ" is always pronounced as a soft g. Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''ĝi''', '''iĝi''', '''ĝusta''', '''ĝis''', '''manĝi''', '''manĝigi''' (note the g), '''seĝo''', '''vizaĝo''', '''iĝis''', '''iĝu''', '''ĝemeliĝo''', '''ĝojo''', '''ĝisnuna''', '''ĝisdatigi''', '''ĝismentone''', '''pliaĝa''', '''platiĝi''', '''pliiĝi'''. |- | "ŝ" is always pronounced as "sh". Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''ŝi''', '''ŝtono''', '''ŝafo''', '''ŝakto''', '''ŝati''', '''ŝiajn''', '''ŝtofo''', '''poŝmesaĝilo''', '''ŝaho''', '''ŝtupo''', '''ŝuo''', '''ŝvita''', '''ŝviti''', '''ŝajne'''. |- | "ŭ" is always pronounced as an offglide like in ''no'''w'''''. Practice this by saying the following words out loud: '''aŭ''', '''aŭdi''', '''ankaŭ''', '''aŭtuno''', '''baldaŭ''', '''laŭta''', '''laŭte''', '''naŭ''', '''baldaŭa''', '''neŭtrala''', '''pseŭdonimo''', '''Eŭropo''', '''eŭkalipto''', '''leŭtenanto''', '''pneŭo'''. |- | "ĵ" is always pronounced as "zh".

Practice this by first trying to get a rolling r. When you have managed that, try saying the following words out loud, in each case with the r rolling: '''rano''', '''razi''', '''raso''', '''rapida''', '''realo''', '''ree''', '''refalo''', '''regado''', '''reĝo''', '''regulo''', '''ricevi''', '''rompo''', '''ronĝi''', '''ruĝa''', '''ruso''', '''ruza''', '''riĉa''', '''tri''', '''pri''', '''pro''', '''por''', '''parko''', '''paroli''', '''preskaŭ''', '''promeni''', '''printempo''', '''orelo''', '''nur''', '''maro''', '''labori''', '''kvar''', '''ĵurnalo''', '''kruro''', '''kara''', '''griza''', '''grava''', '''ĉambro''', '''ĝardeno''', '''forgesi''', '''vintraero''', '''certa''', '''cirklo''', '''caro''', '''ĉirkaŭ''', '''certeco''', '''centaŭro''', '''ŝerci''', '''ŝranko''', '''ŝraŭbo''', '''ŝraŭbtenilo''', '''ŝraŭbŝlosilo'''. |- | "ĥ" is always pronounced as in the Scottish ''lo'''ch'''''. This is kind of a combination of English h and k. First, try to make the sound by itself. Once you have managed that, try pronouncing it in words: '''ĥaoso''', '''ĥoro''', '''ĥina''', '''ĥimera''', '''ĥanato''', '''monaĥo''', '''ĥordulo''', '''ĥirurgo''', '''eĥo''', '''ĥaraktero''', '''ĥirurga''', '''ĥolero'''.<br> Then try pronouncing it in the following sets to distinguish it from ''h'' and ''k'': '''ĥoro''', '''horo''', '''koro'''; '''eĥo''', '''eko'''. |} You are now familiar with all of the letters of Esperanto and their associated sounds. You may have noticed that '''q''', '''w''', '''x''', and '''y''' have not been covered. This is because they are not part of the Esperanto alphabet. The alphabetic order of Esperanto is similar to that of English, except that letters with diacritics are considered distinct and follow their counterparts without diacritics: '''a, b, c, ĉ, d, e, f, g, ĝ, h, ĥ, i, j, ĵ, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, ŝ, t, u, ŭ, v, z''' To get the names of the letters, simply tack on an "-o" to the consonants: '''a, bo, co, ĉo, do, e, fo, go, ĝo''', etc. We'll practice with spelling out words once we know something more about Esperanto. ==Parts of speech== Like in all languages, words in Esperanto can be divided into several types. In Esperanto, different parts of speech are overtly marked and thus have their own endings, though there are few complicating factors. In this lesson, we will introduce [[w:noun|nouns]] and [[w:verb|verbs]] and a few [[w:preposition|prepositions]] will be introduced. ==Nouns== Nouns are words that usually denote persons, things, place, or ideas. Examples can be found in the box directly below. {| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:#ffffaa; {{Text default color}};" ! Examples of nouns in English |- | I see a '''dog'''.<br>He sits in a '''chair'''.<br>I have an '''idea'''.<br>I am learning '''Esperanto'''.<br>Take your '''time''' studying the '''contents''' of this '''course'''. |} In Esperanto, nouns are marked by the suffix '''-o'''. Examples are in the short vocabulary section below. ===Vocabulary=== Here are the first words for you to memorize. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:lime; {{Text default color}};" ! Word !! Audio !! Meaning |- | hundo || [[File:Eo-hundo.oga]] || dog |- | kato || [[File:Eo-kato.ogg]] || cat |- | pomo || [[File:Eo-pomo.ogg]] || apple |- | infano || [[File:Infano.ogg]]|| child |- | homo || [[File:Eo-homo.oga]]|| human being |- | viro || [[File:Viro legado.ogg]]|| man |} ===Plurals=== To indicate that a noun is in the plural, Esperanto tacks on the suffix '''-j''': {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:lime; {{Text default color}};" ! Word !! Audio !! Meaning |- | hundo'''j''' || || dog'''s''' |- | kato'''j''' || || cat'''s''' |- | pomo'''j''' || || apple'''s''' |- | infano'''j''' || || child'''ren''' |- | homo'''j''' || || people |- | viro'''j''' || || men |} ==Article== Esperanto has a definite article (i.e. "the"), "'''la'''", but no indefinite article (i.e. "a(n)"). The meaning of the indefinite article in English is conveyed by the absence of an article: ''La'' hundo estas en la ĝardeno. — ''The'' dog is in the garden.<br> Hundo estas en la ĝardeno. — ''A'' dog is in the garden. (There is a dog in the garden.) ==Verbs== Verbs are those words that denote an action, occurrence, or state of being. Examples can be found in the box directly below: {| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:#ffffaa; {{Text default color}};" ! Examples of verbs in English |- | I '''see''' a dog.<br>He '''sits''' in a chair.<br>I '''have''' an idea.<br>I '''am learning''' Esperanto.<br>'''Take''' your time '''studying''' the contents of this course. |} In Esperanto, verbs can have one of several endings, depending on [[w:tense|tense]], among a few other things. In this lesson we will only get to know the ending of verbs in the [[w:present tense|present tense]]: '''-as'''. Esperanto verbs do ''not'' change form depending who or what is doing the verb. For example: Mi '''estas''' en la ĝardeno. – I ''am'' in the garden.<br> Li '''estas''' en la domo. – He ''is'' in the house.<br> La infanoj '''estas''' en la parko. - The children ''are'' in the park. ==Vocabulary== Here are some more words that you should memorize. {| border="1" cellpadding="5" |-style="background:lime; {{Text default color}};" !

An artificially generated image of facial expression consistent with schadenfreude: brief lip press → side-smirk → narrowed eyes]] Schadenfreude is a complex emotion that we feel when others suffer a misfortune (see Figure 1). However, instead of feelings of sympathy, schadenfreude evokes feelings of joy and pleasure. Schadenfreude has been considered immoral and malicious, and is closely linked to envy, one of the seven biblical sins (Takahashi, et al., 2009). For these reasons, many have argued that schadenfreude is harmful to social relations (Heider, 1958). Other research has attempted to combat that idea, as they argue that schadenfreude is a healthy emotion, despite the fact that it is not always appropriate or polite to share it with others (Spurgin, 2015). Understanding what schadenfreude is, where it comes form in terms of psychological theories, and why we encounter feelings of schadenfreude, will help to understand and improve on our emotional lives. == Schadenfreude == === What is schadenfreude? === Schadenfreude is a German word which translates to the pleasure which is derived from the misfortune of others (Leach, Spears, Branscombe, & Doosje, 2003). Heider (1958) discussed how schadenfreude is a malicious emotion as it is an incongruous reaction to anothers'{{grammar}} misfortune. Heider (1958) is saying that instead of being sympathetic when another person is suffering, which could be considered the socially acceptable response, feelings of pleasure are seen as taboo and immoral (Leach, 2003). This feeling is typically seen as shameful or as a moral failing (Spurgin, 2015). Many people hide their feelings of schadenfreude, and many may not even realise that they are feeling pleasure at others{{grammar}} misfortune. This can stem from things such as gloating or joy at your basketball team winning a game. Both have emotions of schadenfreude behind them. Schadenfreude has its roots in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]]. This theory, largely influenced by Festinger (1954), states that we evaluate our abilities and opinions by comparing our views with others, and that we want people in similar groups to like us, so will change our wants and beliefs to match theirs (Myers, 2014). Myers (2014) also describes social comparison as evaluating our abilities and opinions by comparing ourselves to others. As schadenfreude is a social comparison, where you are comparing yourself against the misfortune of someone else, you are forming an opinion or judging your own abilities on the others{{grammar}} misfortune. Schadenfreude is a complex cognitive emotion that has many different reasons as to why we feel it (Reeve, 2015). Schadenfreude can be derived from feelings of envy, instability in ones'{{grammar}} self-worth, personal gain, when it is believed that the misfortune is deserved, along with biological factors. == External Activities == === Video === To see an example of Pleasure derived from others misfortune follow this link to YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcRyTdFKjPU 14 awesome viral video fails in 30 seconds] === Poll === After watching this video please complete this short poll to see how others feel when it comes to Schadenfreude [http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=562c7466e4b09c75340b5249 Link to poll] Why do some people find videos like this funny? They could be experiencing feelings of schadenfreude, as they are getting pleasure from the suffering of others. But why do we feel this way? == Why do we feel pleasure in the suffering of others? == === The role of self-evaluation === When a person’s positive self-evaluation is threatened or harmed, they may have a strong motivation to protect or restore their self-evaluation (Van Dijk, 2013). One possible course of action to achieving this positive self-view can involve comparing one’s own situation to that of another person (Van Dijk, 2013). As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life. This means that people can use social comparisons and enjoy the misfortune of others as it provides a more positive self-evaluation. [[File:Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala - Regreso al convento.jpg |thumb|250px|''Figure 2''. Monks taking pleasure in the misfortune of another monk, by Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala]] Research conducted by van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Wesseling, & van Koninbruggen (2011) supports the idea that schadenfreude can be intensified by a threat to our self evaluation. They hypothesise that another reason for people to feel schadenfreude is because it satisfies their need to view themselves positively (van Dijk, 2011) (see Figure 2). This is argued in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]] which suggests that events and experiences that satisfy our concerns elicit positive emotions, whereas threat or harm will produce negative emotions (van Dijk, 2011). A way that people can make themselves feel better, according to [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]], is to compare themselves to those who are less fortunate, also called 'downward social comparison' (van Dijk, 2011). Therefore, it is possible to argue that those who are suffering from self evaluation threat (and experiencing negative emotions), will use downward social comparison to help elicit positive emotions (Wills, 1981). The aim of Van Dijk's and his colleagues' (2011) research was to demonstrate that self-evaluation threat intensified schadenfreude in both threat-related and threat-unrelated domains. They were able to find that a threat to self-evaluation caused higher feelings of schadenfreude, and this was also possible to provoke in a threat-unrelated domain. This shows that self-evaluation can play a role towards feelings of schadenfreude. === Envy === [[File:Children marbles.jpg|thumb|225px|Figure 3. ''Envy shown in children with marbles'']] Envy (see Figure 3) has contradicting results when it came to schadenfreude. Many argued that there was a link between schadenfreude and envy, while others argued against this. van Dijk et al. (2006) investigated these contradictory results, and found that there is a link between schadenfreude and envy, but only when the misfortune fell upon someone who had some basis of similarity (e.g., gender). There{{grammar}} results found that if participants learnt about a misfortune of the opposite gender, schadenfreude would not be experienced (van Dijk, et al., 2006). However, when the same gender was identified as suffering misfortune, schadenfreude was identified. Smith, Powell, Combs, and Schurtz (2009) also show the correlation between envy and schadenfreude. They claim that envy is the polar opposite of a downward social comparison (Heider, 1958), however, when a misfortune occurs to someone who is envied, it transformed the comparison to a downwards one (Smith, et al., 2009). Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment. This provides empirical evidence that envy can lead to increased feelings of schadenfreude (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) continue to remark that superiority to others does not always lead to envy, but when it does, this greatly increases the likelihood of schadenfreude. === In-Group Inferiority === An in-group refers to when an individual will recognise themselves as part of a group when they identify with them on some sort of level. For example, when someone identifies with a sporting group e.g. a football team, they begin to become part of the in-group. Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms. In-group inferiority refers to how people can feel pleasure at the misfortune of others in an in-group situation. For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al. (2009) suggests that when people identify with a group, the group becomes part of the individual, and the individual becomes part of the group. Leach et al. (2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) discuss how oxytocin (a peptide hormone) has been shown to have implications in the social behaviour of humans and mammals. Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators. They suggest that previous research has shown that oxytocin release is related to pro-social behaviours (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Seeing as pro-social behaviours are increased by oxytocin, your negative social behaviours, like envy and gloating, would logically be reduced. However, there has been an indication that this is not the case (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Sharmay-Tsoory et al. (2009) conducted an experiment which looked at the increase of oxytocin levels and its effect on these negatively perceived behaviours, such as schadenfreude. They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4. ''MRI of anterior cingulate cortex'' ]] [[File:Dopamine Pathways.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 5. ''Position of the Ventral Striatum'']] Envy and schadenfreude are related emotions. Takahashi, et al. (2009) looked at the areas of the brain that were active when feelings of envy and schadenfreude were evoked. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) researchers looked for activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) (seen in image 2.) when envy was felt, as the anterior cingulate cortex is the area that is activated when our positive self-concept is being conflicted with external information, social pain, or cognitive conflicts (Takahashi, et al., 2009). When investigating the emotion of schadenfreude they were looking for activation in the ventral striatum, which is the central node of the rewards processing area (Takahashi, et al., 2009). The reward would be the joy that is derived in schadenfreude. Takahashi, et al. (2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted. They found that when people had higher levels of schadenfreude, greater activation was seen in the ventral striatum. This was also found to be the case when investigating envy. Greater levels of envy showed higher activation in the dACC (Takahashi, et al., 2009). == Quiz == <quiz display="simple"> {What is Schadenfeude? |type="()"} - Freud's son + Pleasure derived from others misfortune - Pleasure derived from others fortune - Pain derived from others misfortune {What Peptide Hormione plays a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Oxycontin - glucocorticoids - Prolactin + Oxytocin {Which of the following does NOT play a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Envy - Self-worth + Anhedonia - Deserved misfortune {Which area of the brain is stimulated when you feel the emotion of schadenfreude? |type="()"} - dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex + Ventral Striatum - Prefrontal Cortex - Subgenual Cingulate </quiz> ==Conclusion == Schadenfreude is a complex emotion which can have many levels (van Dijk, 2011). It has many underlying concepts which relate to Social Comparison Theory, especially when evaluating the role of self-evaluation and schadenfreude. It is more commonly seen as a morally disturbed emotion, especially when feelings of envy, self-evaluation, and in-group inferiority are causes. However, it is seen quite commonly in everyday life, especially when it comes to situations or individuals with a competitive nature. There are many layers that underlie why schadenfreude occurs. Emotions such as envy, feelings of deservingness, personal gain, in-group inferiority and self-evaluation can all play a role in schadenfreude and why we feel this emotion, and there can be more than one reason as to why we experience schadenfreude. Other biological reasons, such as the role of oxytocin, and activity in the ventral striatum also play a role in feelings of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research. Limitations in assessing schadenfreude may include social biases, as schadenfreude is an emotion that is generally considered immoral. This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option. Due to the many aspects and layers of schadenfreude, van Dijk et al., (2011) suggest that future research into which determinants effect schadenfreude under what circumstances will aid in further understanding why we feel pleasure in others misfortune. There may possibly be other reasons as to why we feel schadenfreude, greater research into the biological aspects of schadenfreude may also enhance our understanding of this emotion. Through investigating schadenfreude and the reasons why we might feel this emotion can aid to enrich our understanding and improve on out emotional lives, as when an experience of schadenfreude is likely to occur or is experienced, taking a step back and evaluating why we are feeling this emotion may lead to a greater emotional understanding and awareness. ==See also== [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Deservingness and emotion#Schadenfreude|Deservingness and Emotion]] - Motivation and Emotion 2013 [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Envy|Envy]] - Motivation and Emotion 2011 [[w:Schadenfreude|Schadenfreude]] - Wikipedia ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Combs, D.

An artificially generated image of a human facial expression consistent with schadenfreude: lip press → side-smirk → narrowed eyes]] Schadenfreude is a complex emotion that we feel when others suffer a misfortune (see Figure 1). However, instead of feelings of sympathy, schadenfreude evokes feelings of joy and pleasure. Schadenfreude has been considered immoral and malicious, and is closely linked to envy, one of the seven biblical sins (Takahashi, et al., 2009). For these reasons, many have argued that schadenfreude is harmful to social relations (Heider, 1958). Other research has attempted to combat that idea, as they argue that schadenfreude is a healthy emotion, despite the fact that it is not always appropriate or polite to share it with others (Spurgin, 2015). Understanding what schadenfreude is, where it comes form in terms of psychological theories, and why we encounter feelings of schadenfreude, will help to understand and improve on our emotional lives. == Schadenfreude == === What is schadenfreude? === Schadenfreude is a German word which translates to the pleasure which is derived from the misfortune of others (Leach, Spears, Branscombe, & Doosje, 2003). Heider (1958) discussed how schadenfreude is a malicious emotion as it is an incongruous reaction to anothers'{{grammar}} misfortune. Heider (1958) is saying that instead of being sympathetic when another person is suffering, which could be considered the socially acceptable response, feelings of pleasure are seen as taboo and immoral (Leach, 2003). This feeling is typically seen as shameful or as a moral failing (Spurgin, 2015). Many people hide their feelings of schadenfreude, and many may not even realise that they are feeling pleasure at others{{grammar}} misfortune. This can stem from things such as gloating or joy at your basketball team winning a game. Both have emotions of schadenfreude behind them. Schadenfreude has its roots in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]]. This theory, largely influenced by Festinger (1954), states that we evaluate our abilities and opinions by comparing our views with others, and that we want people in similar groups to like us, so will change our wants and beliefs to match theirs (Myers, 2014). Myers (2014) also describes social comparison as evaluating our abilities and opinions by comparing ourselves to others. As schadenfreude is a social comparison, where you are comparing yourself against the misfortune of someone else, you are forming an opinion or judging your own abilities on the others{{grammar}} misfortune. Schadenfreude is a complex cognitive emotion that has many different reasons as to why we feel it (Reeve, 2015). Schadenfreude can be derived from feelings of envy, instability in ones'{{grammar}} self-worth, personal gain, when it is believed that the misfortune is deserved, along with biological factors. == External Activities == === Video === To see an example of Pleasure derived from others misfortune follow this link to YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcRyTdFKjPU 14 awesome viral video fails in 30 seconds] === Poll === After watching this video please complete this short poll to see how others feel when it comes to Schadenfreude [http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=562c7466e4b09c75340b5249 Link to poll] Why do some people find videos like this funny? They could be experiencing feelings of schadenfreude, as they are getting pleasure from the suffering of others. But why do we feel this way? == Why do we feel pleasure in the suffering of others? == === The role of self-evaluation === When a person’s positive self-evaluation is threatened or harmed, they may have a strong motivation to protect or restore their self-evaluation (Van Dijk, 2013). One possible course of action to achieving this positive self-view can involve comparing one’s own situation to that of another person (Van Dijk, 2013). As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life. This means that people can use social comparisons and enjoy the misfortune of others as it provides a more positive self-evaluation. [[File:Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala - Regreso al convento.jpg |thumb|250px|''Figure 2''. Monks taking pleasure in the misfortune of another monk, by Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala]] Research conducted by van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Wesseling, & van Koninbruggen (2011) supports the idea that schadenfreude can be intensified by a threat to our self evaluation. They hypothesise that another reason for people to feel schadenfreude is because it satisfies their need to view themselves positively (van Dijk, 2011) (see Figure 2). This is argued in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]] which suggests that events and experiences that satisfy our concerns elicit positive emotions, whereas threat or harm will produce negative emotions (van Dijk, 2011). A way that people can make themselves feel better, according to [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]], is to compare themselves to those who are less fortunate, also called 'downward social comparison' (van Dijk, 2011). Therefore, it is possible to argue that those who are suffering from self evaluation threat (and experiencing negative emotions), will use downward social comparison to help elicit positive emotions (Wills, 1981). The aim of Van Dijk's and his colleagues' (2011) research was to demonstrate that self-evaluation threat intensified schadenfreude in both threat-related and threat-unrelated domains. They were able to find that a threat to self-evaluation caused higher feelings of schadenfreude, and this was also possible to provoke in a threat-unrelated domain. This shows that self-evaluation can play a role towards feelings of schadenfreude. === Envy === [[File:Children marbles.jpg|thumb|225px|Figure 3. ''Envy shown in children with marbles'']] Envy (see Figure 3) has contradicting results when it came to schadenfreude. Many argued that there was a link between schadenfreude and envy, while others argued against this. van Dijk et al. (2006) investigated these contradictory results, and found that there is a link between schadenfreude and envy, but only when the misfortune fell upon someone who had some basis of similarity (e.g., gender). There{{grammar}} results found that if participants learnt about a misfortune of the opposite gender, schadenfreude would not be experienced (van Dijk, et al., 2006). However, when the same gender was identified as suffering misfortune, schadenfreude was identified. Smith, Powell, Combs, and Schurtz (2009) also show the correlation between envy and schadenfreude. They claim that envy is the polar opposite of a downward social comparison (Heider, 1958), however, when a misfortune occurs to someone who is envied, it transformed the comparison to a downwards one (Smith, et al., 2009). Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment. This provides empirical evidence that envy can lead to increased feelings of schadenfreude (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) continue to remark that superiority to others does not always lead to envy, but when it does, this greatly increases the likelihood of schadenfreude. === In-Group Inferiority === An in-group refers to when an individual will recognise themselves as part of a group when they identify with them on some sort of level. For example, when someone identifies with a sporting group e.g. a football team, they begin to become part of the in-group. Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms. In-group inferiority refers to how people can feel pleasure at the misfortune of others in an in-group situation. For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al. (2009) suggests that when people identify with a group, the group becomes part of the individual, and the individual becomes part of the group. Leach et al. (2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) discuss how oxytocin (a peptide hormone) has been shown to have implications in the social behaviour of humans and mammals. Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators. They suggest that previous research has shown that oxytocin release is related to pro-social behaviours (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Seeing as pro-social behaviours are increased by oxytocin, your negative social behaviours, like envy and gloating, would logically be reduced. However, there has been an indication that this is not the case (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Sharmay-Tsoory et al. (2009) conducted an experiment which looked at the increase of oxytocin levels and its effect on these negatively perceived behaviours, such as schadenfreude. They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4. ''MRI of anterior cingulate cortex'' ]] [[File:Dopamine Pathways.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 5. ''Position of the Ventral Striatum'']] Envy and schadenfreude are related emotions. Takahashi, et al. (2009) looked at the areas of the brain that were active when feelings of envy and schadenfreude were evoked. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) researchers looked for activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) (seen in image 2.) when envy was felt, as the anterior cingulate cortex is the area that is activated when our positive self-concept is being conflicted with external information, social pain, or cognitive conflicts (Takahashi, et al., 2009). When investigating the emotion of schadenfreude they were looking for activation in the ventral striatum, which is the central node of the rewards processing area (Takahashi, et al., 2009). The reward would be the joy that is derived in schadenfreude. Takahashi, et al. (2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted. They found that when people had higher levels of schadenfreude, greater activation was seen in the ventral striatum. This was also found to be the case when investigating envy. Greater levels of envy showed higher activation in the dACC (Takahashi, et al., 2009). == Quiz == <quiz display="simple"> {What is Schadenfeude? |type="()"} - Freud's son + Pleasure derived from others misfortune - Pleasure derived from others fortune - Pain derived from others misfortune {What Peptide Hormione plays a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Oxycontin - glucocorticoids - Prolactin + Oxytocin {Which of the following does NOT play a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Envy - Self-worth + Anhedonia - Deserved misfortune {Which area of the brain is stimulated when you feel the emotion of schadenfreude? |type="()"} - dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex + Ventral Striatum - Prefrontal Cortex - Subgenual Cingulate </quiz> ==Conclusion == Schadenfreude is a complex emotion which can have many levels (van Dijk, 2011). It has many underlying concepts which relate to Social Comparison Theory, especially when evaluating the role of self-evaluation and schadenfreude. It is more commonly seen as a morally disturbed emotion, especially when feelings of envy, self-evaluation, and in-group inferiority are causes. However, it is seen quite commonly in everyday life, especially when it comes to situations or individuals with a competitive nature. There are many layers that underlie why schadenfreude occurs. Emotions such as envy, feelings of deservingness, personal gain, in-group inferiority and self-evaluation can all play a role in schadenfreude and why we feel this emotion, and there can be more than one reason as to why we experience schadenfreude. Other biological reasons, such as the role of oxytocin, and activity in the ventral striatum also play a role in feelings of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research. Limitations in assessing schadenfreude may include social biases, as schadenfreude is an emotion that is generally considered immoral. This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option. Due to the many aspects and layers of schadenfreude, van Dijk et al., (2011) suggest that future research into which determinants effect schadenfreude under what circumstances will aid in further understanding why we feel pleasure in others misfortune. There may possibly be other reasons as to why we feel schadenfreude, greater research into the biological aspects of schadenfreude may also enhance our understanding of this emotion. Through investigating schadenfreude and the reasons why we might feel this emotion can aid to enrich our understanding and improve on out emotional lives, as when an experience of schadenfreude is likely to occur or is experienced, taking a step back and evaluating why we are feeling this emotion may lead to a greater emotional understanding and awareness. ==See also== [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Deservingness and emotion#Schadenfreude|Deservingness and Emotion]] - Motivation and Emotion 2013 [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Envy|Envy]] - Motivation and Emotion 2011 [[w:Schadenfreude|Schadenfreude]] - Wikipedia ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Combs, D.

As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life. This means that people can use social comparisons and enjoy the misfortune of others as it provides a more positive self-evaluation. [[File:Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala - Regreso al convento.jpg |thumb|250px|''Figure 2''. Monks taking pleasure in the misfortune of another monk, by Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala]] Research conducted by van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Wesseling, & van Koninbruggen (2011) supports the idea that schadenfreude can be intensified by a threat to our self evaluation. They hypothesise that another reason for people to feel schadenfreude is because it satisfies their need to view themselves positively (van Dijk, 2011) (see Figure 2). This is argued in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]] which suggests that events and experiences that satisfy our concerns elicit positive emotions, whereas threat or harm will produce negative emotions (van Dijk, 2011). A way that people can make themselves feel better, according to [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]], is to compare themselves to those who are less fortunate, also called 'downward social comparison' (van Dijk, 2011). Therefore, it is possible to argue that those who are suffering from self evaluation threat (and experiencing negative emotions), will use downward social comparison to help elicit positive emotions (Wills, 1981). The aim of Van Dijk's and his colleagues' (2011) research was to demonstrate that self-evaluation threat intensified schadenfreude in both threat-related and threat-unrelated domains. They were able to find that a threat to self-evaluation caused higher feelings of schadenfreude, and this was also possible to provoke in a threat-unrelated domain. This shows that self-evaluation can play a role towards feelings of schadenfreude. === Envy === [[File:Children marbles.jpg|thumb|225px|Figure 3. ''Envy shown in children with marbles'']] Envy (see Figure 3) has contradicting results when it came to schadenfreude. Many argued that there was a link between schadenfreude and envy, while others argued against this. van Dijk et al. (2006) investigated these contradictory results, and found that there is a link between schadenfreude and envy, but only when the misfortune fell upon someone who had some basis of similarity (e.g., gender). There{{grammar}} results found that if participants learnt about a misfortune of the opposite gender, schadenfreude would not be experienced (van Dijk, et al., 2006). However, when the same gender was identified as suffering misfortune, schadenfreude was identified. Smith, Powell, Combs, and Schurtz (2009) also show the correlation between envy and schadenfreude. They claim that envy is the polar opposite of a downward social comparison (Heider, 1958), however, when a misfortune occurs to someone who is envied, it transformed the comparison to a downwards one (Smith, et al., 2009). Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment. This provides empirical evidence that envy can lead to increased feelings of schadenfreude (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) continue to remark that superiority to others does not always lead to envy, but when it does, this greatly increases the likelihood of schadenfreude. === In-Group Inferiority === An in-group refers to when an individual will recognise themselves as part of a group when they identify with them on some sort of level. For example, when someone identifies with a sporting group e.g. a football team, they begin to become part of the in-group. Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms. In-group inferiority refers to how people can feel pleasure at the misfortune of others in an in-group situation. For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al. (2009) suggests that when people identify with a group, the group becomes part of the individual, and the individual becomes part of the group. Leach et al. (2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) discuss how oxytocin (a peptide hormone) has been shown to have implications in the social behaviour of humans and mammals. Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators. They suggest that previous research has shown that oxytocin release is related to pro-social behaviours (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Seeing as pro-social behaviours are increased by oxytocin, your negative social behaviours, like envy and gloating, would logically be reduced. However, there has been an indication that this is not the case (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Sharmay-Tsoory et al. (2009) conducted an experiment which looked at the increase of oxytocin levels and its effect on these negatively perceived behaviours, such as schadenfreude. They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4. ''MRI of anterior cingulate cortex'' ]] [[File:Dopamine Pathways.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 5. ''Position of the Ventral Striatum'']] Envy and schadenfreude are related emotions. Takahashi, et al. (2009) looked at the areas of the brain that were active when feelings of envy and schadenfreude were evoked. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) researchers looked for activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) (seen in image 2.) when envy was felt, as the anterior cingulate cortex is the area that is activated when our positive self-concept is being conflicted with external information, social pain, or cognitive conflicts (Takahashi, et al., 2009). When investigating the emotion of schadenfreude they were looking for activation in the ventral striatum, which is the central node of the rewards processing area (Takahashi, et al., 2009). The reward would be the joy that is derived in schadenfreude. Takahashi, et al. (2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted. They found that when people had higher levels of schadenfreude, greater activation was seen in the ventral striatum. This was also found to be the case when investigating envy. Greater levels of envy showed higher activation in the dACC (Takahashi, et al., 2009). == Quiz == <quiz display="simple"> {What is Schadenfeude? |type="()"} - Freud's son + Pleasure derived from others misfortune - Pleasure derived from others fortune - Pain derived from others misfortune {What Peptide Hormione plays a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Oxycontin - glucocorticoids - Prolactin + Oxytocin {Which of the following does NOT play a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Envy - Self-worth + Anhedonia - Deserved misfortune {Which area of the brain is stimulated when you feel the emotion of schadenfreude? |type="()"} - dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex + Ventral Striatum - Prefrontal Cortex - Subgenual Cingulate </quiz> ==Conclusion == Schadenfreude is a complex emotion which can have many levels (van Dijk, 2011). It has many underlying concepts which relate to Social Comparison Theory, especially when evaluating the role of self-evaluation and schadenfreude. It is more commonly seen as a morally disturbed emotion, especially when feelings of envy, self-evaluation, and in-group inferiority are causes. However, it is seen quite commonly in everyday life, especially when it comes to situations or individuals with a competitive nature. There are many layers that underlie why schadenfreude occurs. Emotions such as envy, feelings of deservingness, personal gain, in-group inferiority and self-evaluation can all play a role in schadenfreude and why we feel this emotion, and there can be more than one reason as to why we experience schadenfreude. Other biological reasons, such as the role of oxytocin, and activity in the ventral striatum also play a role in feelings of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research. Limitations in assessing schadenfreude may include social biases, as schadenfreude is an emotion that is generally considered immoral. This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option. Due to the many aspects and layers of schadenfreude, van Dijk et al., (2011) suggest that future research into which determinants effect schadenfreude under what circumstances will aid in further understanding why we feel pleasure in others misfortune. There may possibly be other reasons as to why we feel schadenfreude, greater research into the biological aspects of schadenfreude may also enhance our understanding of this emotion. Through investigating schadenfreude and the reasons why we might feel this emotion can aid to enrich our understanding and improve on out emotional lives, as when an experience of schadenfreude is likely to occur or is experienced, taking a step back and evaluating why we are feeling this emotion may lead to a greater emotional understanding and awareness. ==See also== [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Deservingness and emotion#Schadenfreude|Deservingness and Emotion]] - Motivation and Emotion 2013 [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Envy|Envy]] - Motivation and Emotion 2011 [[w:Schadenfreude|Schadenfreude]] - Wikipedia ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Combs, D.

An artificially generated image of a human facial expression consistent with schadenfreude: lip press → side-smirk → narrowed eyes]] Schadenfreude is a complex emotion that we feel when others suffer a misfortune (see Figure 1). However, instead of feelings of sympathy, schadenfreude evokes feelings of joy and pleasure. Schadenfreude has been considered immoral and malicious, and is closely linked to envy, one of the seven biblical sins (Takahashi, et al., 2009). For these reasons, many have argued that schadenfreude is harmful to social relations (Heider, 1958). Other research has attempted to combat that idea, as they argue that schadenfreude is a healthy emotion, despite the fact that it is not always appropriate or polite to share it with others (Spurgin, 2015). Understanding what schadenfreude is, where it comes form in terms of psychological theories, and why we encounter feelings of schadenfreude, will help to understand and improve on our emotional lives. == What is schadenfreude? == Schadenfreude is a German word which translates to the pleasure which is derived from the misfortune of others (Leach, Spears, Branscombe, & Doosje, 2003). Heider (1958) discussed how schadenfreude is a malicious emotion as it is an incongruous reaction to anothers'{{grammar}} misfortune. Heider (1958) is saying that instead of being sympathetic when another person is suffering, which could be considered the socially acceptable response, feelings of pleasure are seen as taboo and immoral (Leach, 2003). This feeling is typically seen as shameful or as a moral failing (Spurgin, 2015). Many people hide their feelings of schadenfreude, and many may not even realise that they are feeling pleasure at others{{grammar}} misfortune. This can stem from things such as gloating or joy at your basketball team winning a game. Both have emotions of schadenfreude behind them. Schadenfreude has its roots in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]]. This theory, largely influenced by Festinger (1954), states that we evaluate our abilities and opinions by comparing our views with others, and that we want people in similar groups to like us, so will change our wants and beliefs to match theirs (Myers, 2014). Myers (2014) also describes social comparison as evaluating our abilities and opinions by comparing ourselves to others. As schadenfreude is a social comparison, where you are comparing yourself against the misfortune of someone else, you are forming an opinion or judging your own abilities on the others{{grammar}} misfortune. Schadenfreude is a complex cognitive emotion that has many different reasons as to why we feel it (Reeve, 2015). Schadenfreude can be derived from feelings of envy, instability in ones'{{grammar}} self-worth, personal gain, when it is believed that the misfortune is deserved, along with biological factors. == Activities == ; Video To see an example of Pleasure derived from others misfortune follow this link to YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcRyTdFKjPU 14 awesome viral video fails in 30 seconds] ; Poll After watching this video please complete this short poll to see how others feel when it comes to Schadenfreude [http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=562c7466e4b09c75340b5249 Link to poll] Why do some people find videos like this funny? They could be experiencing feelings of schadenfreude, as they are getting pleasure from the suffering of others. But why do we feel this way? == Why do we feel pleasure in the suffering of others? == === The role of self-evaluation === When a person’s positive self-evaluation is threatened or harmed, they may have a strong motivation to protect or restore their self-evaluation (Van Dijk, 2013). One possible course of action to achieving this positive self-view can involve comparing one’s own situation to that of another person (Van Dijk, 2013). As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life.

Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment.

Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms.

For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al.

(2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) discuss how oxytocin (a peptide hormone) has been shown to have implications in the social behaviour of humans and mammals. Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators. They suggest that previous research has shown that oxytocin release is related to pro-social behaviours (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Seeing as pro-social behaviours are increased by oxytocin, your negative social behaviours, like envy and gloating, would logically be reduced. However, there has been an indication that this is not the case (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Sharmay-Tsoory et al. (2009) conducted an experiment which looked at the increase of oxytocin levels and its effect on these negatively perceived behaviours, such as schadenfreude. They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4.

(2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted. They found that when people had higher levels of schadenfreude, greater activation was seen in the ventral striatum. This was also found to be the case when investigating envy. Greater levels of envy showed higher activation in the dACC (Takahashi, et al., 2009). == Quiz == <quiz display="simple"> {What is Schadenfeude? |type="()"} - Freud's son + Pleasure derived from others misfortune - Pleasure derived from others fortune - Pain derived from others misfortune {What Peptide Hormione plays a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Oxycontin - glucocorticoids - Prolactin + Oxytocin {Which of the following does NOT play a role in Schadenfreude? |type="()"} - Envy - Self-worth + Anhedonia - Deserved misfortune {Which area of the brain is stimulated when you feel the emotion of schadenfreude? |type="()"} - dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex + Ventral Striatum - Prefrontal Cortex - Subgenual Cingulate </quiz> ==Conclusion == Schadenfreude is a complex emotion which can have many levels (van Dijk, 2011). It has many underlying concepts which relate to Social Comparison Theory, especially when evaluating the role of self-evaluation and schadenfreude. It is more commonly seen as a morally disturbed emotion, especially when feelings of envy, self-evaluation, and in-group inferiority are causes. However, it is seen quite commonly in everyday life, especially when it comes to situations or individuals with a competitive nature. There are many layers that underlie why schadenfreude occurs. Emotions such as envy, feelings of deservingness, personal gain, in-group inferiority and self-evaluation can all play a role in schadenfreude and why we feel this emotion, and there can be more than one reason as to why we experience schadenfreude. Other biological reasons, such as the role of oxytocin, and activity in the ventral striatum also play a role in feelings of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research. Limitations in assessing schadenfreude may include social biases, as schadenfreude is an emotion that is generally considered immoral. This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option. Due to the many aspects and layers of schadenfreude, van Dijk et al., (2011) suggest that future research into which determinants effect schadenfreude under what circumstances will aid in further understanding why we feel pleasure in others misfortune. There may possibly be other reasons as to why we feel schadenfreude, greater research into the biological aspects of schadenfreude may also enhance our understanding of this emotion. Through investigating schadenfreude and the reasons why we might feel this emotion can aid to enrich our understanding and improve on out emotional lives, as when an experience of schadenfreude is likely to occur or is experienced, taking a step back and evaluating why we are feeling this emotion may lead to a greater emotional understanding and awareness. ==See also== [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Deservingness and emotion#Schadenfreude|Deservingness and Emotion]] - Motivation and Emotion 2013 [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Envy|Envy]] - Motivation and Emotion 2011 [[w:Schadenfreude|Schadenfreude]] - Wikipedia ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Combs, D.

An artificially generated image of a human facial expression consistent with schadenfreude: lip press → side-smirk → narrowed eyes]] Schadenfreude is a complex emotion that we feel when others suffer a misfortune (see Figure 1). However, instead of feelings of sympathy, schadenfreude evokes feelings of joy and pleasure. Schadenfreude has been considered immoral and malicious, and is closely linked to envy, one of the seven biblical sins (Takahashi, et al., 2009). For these reasons, many have argued that schadenfreude is harmful to social relations (Heider, 1958). Other research has attempted to combat that idea, as they argue that schadenfreude is a healthy emotion, despite the fact that it is not always appropriate or polite to share it with others (Spurgin, 2015). Understanding what schadenfreude is, where it comes form in terms of psychological theories, and why we encounter feelings of schadenfreude, will help to understand and improve on our emotional lives. == What is schadenfreude? == Schadenfreude is a German word which translates to the pleasure which is derived from the misfortune of others (Leach, Spears, Branscombe, & Doosje, 2003). Heider (1958) discussed how schadenfreude is a malicious emotion as it is an incongruous reaction to anothers'{{grammar}} misfortune. Heider (1958) is saying that instead of being sympathetic when another person is suffering, which could be considered the socially acceptable response, feelings of pleasure are seen as taboo and immoral (Leach, 2003). This feeling is typically seen as shameful or as a moral failing (Spurgin, 2015). Many people hide their feelings of schadenfreude, and many may not even realise that they are feeling pleasure at others{{grammar}} misfortune. This can stem from things such as gloating or joy at your basketball team winning a game. Both have emotions of schadenfreude behind them. Schadenfreude has its roots in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]]. This theory, largely influenced by Festinger (1954), states that we evaluate our abilities and opinions by comparing our views with others, and that we want people in similar groups to like us, so will change our wants and beliefs to match theirs (Myers, 2014). Myers (2014) also describes social comparison as evaluating our abilities and opinions by comparing ourselves to others. As schadenfreude is a social comparison, where you are comparing yourself against the misfortune of someone else, you are forming an opinion or judging your own abilities on the others{{grammar}} misfortune. Schadenfreude is a complex cognitive emotion that has many different reasons as to why we feel it (Reeve, 2015). Schadenfreude can be derived from feelings of envy, instability in ones'{{grammar}} self-worth, personal gain, when it is believed that the misfortune is deserved, along with biological factors. == Why do we feel pleasure in the suffering of others? == === The role of self-evaluation === When a person’s positive self-evaluation is threatened or harmed, they may have a strong motivation to protect or restore their self-evaluation (Van Dijk, 2013). One possible course of action to achieving this positive self-view can involve comparing one’s own situation to that of another person (Van Dijk, 2013). As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life. This means that people can use social comparisons and enjoy the misfortune of others as it provides a more positive self-evaluation. [[File:Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala - Regreso al convento.jpg |thumb|250px|''Figure 2''. Monks taking pleasure in the misfortune of another monk, by Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala]] Research conducted by van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Wesseling, & van Koninbruggen (2011) supports the idea that schadenfreude can be intensified by a threat to our self evaluation. They hypothesise that another reason for people to feel schadenfreude is because it satisfies their need to view themselves positively (van Dijk, 2011) (see Figure 2). This is argued in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]] which suggests that events and experiences that satisfy our concerns elicit positive emotions, whereas threat or harm will produce negative emotions (van Dijk, 2011). A way that people can make themselves feel better, according to [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]], is to compare themselves to those who are less fortunate, also called 'downward social comparison' (van Dijk, 2011). Therefore, it is possible to argue that those who are suffering from self evaluation threat (and experiencing negative emotions), will use downward social comparison to help elicit positive emotions (Wills, 1981). The aim of Van Dijk's and his colleagues' (2011) research was to demonstrate that self-evaluation threat intensified schadenfreude in both threat-related and threat-unrelated domains. They were able to find that a threat to self-evaluation caused higher feelings of schadenfreude, and this was also possible to provoke in a threat-unrelated domain. This shows that self-evaluation can play a role towards feelings of schadenfreude. === Envy === [[File:Children marbles.jpg|thumb|225px|Figure 3. ''Envy shown in children with marbles'']] Envy (see Figure 3) has contradicting results when it came to schadenfreude. Many argued that there was a link between schadenfreude and envy, while others argued against this. van Dijk et al. (2006) investigated these contradictory results, and found that there is a link between schadenfreude and envy, but only when the misfortune fell upon someone who had some basis of similarity (e.g., gender). There{{grammar}} results found that if participants learnt about a misfortune of the opposite gender, schadenfreude would not be experienced (van Dijk, et al., 2006). However, when the same gender was identified as suffering misfortune, schadenfreude was identified. Smith, Powell, Combs, and Schurtz (2009) also show the correlation between envy and schadenfreude. They claim that envy is the polar opposite of a downward social comparison (Heider, 1958), however, when a misfortune occurs to someone who is envied, it transformed the comparison to a downwards one (Smith, et al., 2009). Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment. This provides empirical evidence that envy can lead to increased feelings of schadenfreude (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) continue to remark that superiority to others does not always lead to envy, but when it does, this greatly increases the likelihood of schadenfreude. === In-Group Inferiority === An in-group refers to when an individual will recognise themselves as part of a group when they identify with them on some sort of level. For example, when someone identifies with a sporting group e.g. a football team, they begin to become part of the in-group. Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms. In-group inferiority refers to how people can feel pleasure at the misfortune of others in an in-group situation. For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al. (2009) suggests that when people identify with a group, the group becomes part of the individual, and the individual becomes part of the group. Leach et al. (2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al.

Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators.

They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4.

(2009) looked at the areas of the brain that were active when feelings of envy and schadenfreude were evoked. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) researchers looked for activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) (seen in image 2.) when envy was felt, as the anterior cingulate cortex is the area that is activated when our positive self-concept is being conflicted with external information, social pain, or cognitive conflicts (Takahashi, et al., 2009). When investigating the emotion of schadenfreude they were looking for activation in the ventral striatum, which is the central node of the rewards processing area (Takahashi, et al., 2009). The reward would be the joy that is derived in schadenfreude. Takahashi, et al. (2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted.

It has many underlying concepts which relate to Social Comparison Theory, especially when evaluating the role of self-evaluation and schadenfreude. It is more commonly seen as a morally disturbed emotion, especially when feelings of envy, self-evaluation, and in-group inferiority are causes. However, it is seen quite commonly in everyday life, especially when it comes to situations or individuals with a competitive nature. There are many layers that underlie why schadenfreude occurs. Emotions such as envy, feelings of deservingness, personal gain, in-group inferiority and self-evaluation can all play a role in schadenfreude and why we feel this emotion, and there can be more than one reason as to why we experience schadenfreude. Other biological reasons, such as the role of oxytocin, and activity in the ventral striatum also play a role in feelings of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research. Limitations in assessing schadenfreude may include social biases, as schadenfreude is an emotion that is generally considered immoral. This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option. Due to the many aspects and layers of schadenfreude, van Dijk et al., (2011) suggest that future research into which determinants effect schadenfreude under what circumstances will aid in further understanding why we feel pleasure in others misfortune.

An artificially generated image of a human facial expression consistent with schadenfreude: lip press → side-smirk → narrowed eyes]] Schadenfreude is a complex emotion that we feel when others suffer a misfortune (see Figure 1). However, instead of feelings of sympathy, schadenfreude evokes feelings of joy and pleasure. Schadenfreude has been considered immoral and malicious, and is closely linked to envy, one of the seven biblical sins (Takahashi, et al., 2009). For these reasons, many have argued that schadenfreude is harmful to social relations (Heider, 1958). Other research has attempted to combat that idea, as they argue that schadenfreude is a healthy emotion, despite the fact that it is not always appropriate or polite to share it with others (Spurgin, 2015). Understanding what schadenfreude is, where it comes form in terms of psychological theories, and why we encounter feelings of schadenfreude, will help to understand and improve on our emotional lives. == What is schadenfreude? == Schadenfreude is a German word which translates to the pleasure which is derived from the misfortune of others (Leach, Spears, Branscombe, & Doosje, 2003). Heider (1958) discussed how schadenfreude is a malicious emotion as it is an incongruous reaction to anothers'{{grammar}} misfortune. Heider (1958) is saying that instead of being sympathetic when another person is suffering, which could be considered the socially acceptable response, feelings of pleasure are seen as taboo and immoral (Leach, 2003). This feeling is typically seen as shameful or as a moral failing (Spurgin, 2015). Many people hide their feelings of schadenfreude, and many may not even realise that they are feeling pleasure at others{{grammar}} misfortune. This can stem from things such as gloating or joy at your basketball team winning a game. Both have emotions of schadenfreude behind them. Schadenfreude has its roots in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]]. This theory, largely influenced by Festinger (1954), states that we evaluate our abilities and opinions by comparing our views with others, and that we want people in similar groups to like us, so will change our wants and beliefs to match theirs (Myers, 2014). Myers (2014) also describes social comparison as evaluating our abilities and opinions by comparing ourselves to others. As schadenfreude is a social comparison, where you are comparing yourself against the misfortune of someone else, you are forming an opinion or judging your own abilities on the others{{grammar}} misfortune. Schadenfreude is a complex cognitive emotion that has many different reasons as to why we feel it (Reeve, 2015). Schadenfreude can be derived from feelings of envy, instability in ones'{{grammar}} self-worth, personal gain, when it is believed that the misfortune is deserved, along with biological factors. == Why do we feel pleasure in the suffering of others? == === The role of self-evaluation === When a person’s positive self-evaluation is threatened or harmed, they may have a strong motivation to protect or restore their self-evaluation (Van Dijk, 2013). One possible course of action to achieving this positive self-view can involve comparing one’s own situation to that of another person (Van Dijk, 2013). As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life. This means that people can use social comparisons and enjoy the misfortune of others as it provides a more positive self-evaluation. [[File:Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala - Regreso al convento.jpg |thumb|250px|''Figure 2''. Monks taking pleasure in the misfortune of another monk, by Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala]] Research conducted by van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Wesseling, & van Koninbruggen (2011) supports the idea that schadenfreude can be intensified by a threat to our self evaluation. They hypothesise that another reason for people to feel schadenfreude is because it satisfies their need to view themselves positively (van Dijk, 2011) (see Figure 2). This is argued in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]] which suggests that events and experiences that satisfy our concerns elicit positive emotions, whereas threat or harm will produce negative emotions (van Dijk, 2011). A way that people can make themselves feel better, according to [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]], is to compare themselves to those who are less fortunate, also called 'downward social comparison' (van Dijk, 2011). Therefore, it is possible to argue that those who are suffering from self evaluation threat (and experiencing negative emotions), will use downward social comparison to help elicit positive emotions (Wills, 1981). The aim of Van Dijk's and his colleagues' (2011) research was to demonstrate that self-evaluation threat intensified schadenfreude in both threat-related and threat-unrelated domains. They were able to find that a threat to self-evaluation caused higher feelings of schadenfreude, and this was also possible to provoke in a threat-unrelated domain. This shows that self-evaluation can play a role towards feelings of schadenfreude. === Envy === [[File:Children marbles.jpg|thumb|225px|Figure 3. ''Envy shown in children with marbles'']] Envy (see Figure 3) has contradicting results when it came to schadenfreude. Many argued that there was a link between schadenfreude and envy, while others argued against this. van Dijk et al. (2006) investigated these contradictory results, and found that there is a link between schadenfreude and envy, but only when the misfortune fell upon someone who had some basis of similarity (e.g., gender). There{{grammar}} results found that if participants learnt about a misfortune of the opposite gender, schadenfreude would not be experienced (van Dijk, et al., 2006). However, when the same gender was identified as suffering misfortune, schadenfreude was identified. Smith, Powell, Combs, and Schurtz (2009) also show the correlation between envy and schadenfreude. They claim that envy is the polar opposite of a downward social comparison (Heider, 1958), however, when a misfortune occurs to someone who is envied, it transformed the comparison to a downwards one (Smith, et al., 2009). Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment. This provides empirical evidence that envy can lead to increased feelings of schadenfreude (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) continue to remark that superiority to others does not always lead to envy, but when it does, this greatly increases the likelihood of schadenfreude. === In-Group Inferiority === An in-group refers to when an individual will recognise themselves as part of a group when they identify with them on some sort of level. For example, when someone identifies with a sporting group e.g. a football team, they begin to become part of the in-group. Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms. In-group inferiority refers to how people can feel pleasure at the misfortune of others in an in-group situation. For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al. (2009) suggests that when people identify with a group, the group becomes part of the individual, and the individual becomes part of the group. Leach et al. (2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) discuss how oxytocin (a peptide hormone) has been shown to have implications in the social behaviour of humans and mammals. Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators. They suggest that previous research has shown that oxytocin release is related to pro-social behaviours (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Seeing as pro-social behaviours are increased by oxytocin, your negative social behaviours, like envy and gloating, would logically be reduced. However, there has been an indication that this is not the case (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Sharmay-Tsoory et al. (2009) conducted an experiment which looked at the increase of oxytocin levels and its effect on these negatively perceived behaviours, such as schadenfreude. They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4. ''MRI of anterior cingulate cortex'' ]] [[File:Dopamine Pathways.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 5. ''Position of the Ventral Striatum'']] Envy and schadenfreude are related emotions. Takahashi, et al. (2009) looked at the areas of the brain that were active when feelings of envy and schadenfreude were evoked. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) researchers looked for activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) (seen in image 2.) when envy was felt, as the anterior cingulate cortex is the area that is activated when our positive self-concept is being conflicted with external information, social pain, or cognitive conflicts (Takahashi, et al., 2009). When investigating the emotion of schadenfreude they were looking for activation in the ventral striatum, which is the central node of the rewards processing area (Takahashi, et al., 2009). The reward would be the joy that is derived in schadenfreude. Takahashi, et al. (2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted. They found that when people had higher levels of schadenfreude, greater activation was seen in the ventral striatum. This was also found to be the case when investigating envy. Greater levels of envy showed higher activation in the dACC (Takahashi, et al., 2009). == Activities == ; Video To see an example of Pleasure derived from others misfortune follow this link to YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcRyTdFKjPU 14 awesome viral video fails in 30 seconds] ; Poll After watching this video please complete this short poll to see how others feel when it comes to Schadenfreude [http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=562c7466e4b09c75340b5249 Link to poll] Why do some people find videos like this funny?

Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research.

This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option.

An artificially generated image of a human facial expression consistent with schadenfreude: lip press → side-smirk → narrowed eyes]] Schadenfreude is a complex emotion that we feel when others suffer a misfortune (see Figure 1). However, instead of feelings of sympathy, schadenfreude evokes feelings of joy and pleasure. Schadenfreude has been considered immoral and malicious, and is closely linked to envy, one of the seven biblical sins (Takahashi, et al., 2009). For these reasons, many have argued that schadenfreude is harmful to social relations (Heider, 1958). Other research has attempted to combat that idea, as they argue that schadenfreude is a healthy emotion, despite the fact that it is not always appropriate or polite to share it with others (Spurgin, 2015). Understanding what schadenfreude is, where it comes form in terms of psychological theories, and why we encounter feelings of schadenfreude, will help to understand and improve on our emotional lives. == What is schadenfreude? == Schadenfreude is a German word which translates to the pleasure which is derived from the misfortune of others (Leach, Spears, Branscombe, & Doosje, 2003). Heider (1958) discussed how schadenfreude is a malicious emotion as it is an incongruous reaction to anothers'{{grammar}} misfortune. Heider (1958) is saying that instead of being sympathetic when another person is suffering, which could be considered the socially acceptable response, feelings of pleasure are seen as taboo and immoral (Leach, 2003). This feeling is typically seen as shameful or as a moral failing (Spurgin, 2015). Many people hide their feelings of schadenfreude, and many may not even realise that they are feeling pleasure at others{{grammar}} misfortune. This can stem from things such as gloating or joy at your basketball team winning a game. Both have emotions of schadenfreude behind them. Schadenfreude has its roots in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]]. This theory, largely influenced by Festinger (1954), states that we evaluate our abilities and opinions by comparing our views with others, and that we want people in similar groups to like us, so will change our wants and beliefs to match theirs (Myers, 2014). Myers (2014) also describes social comparison as evaluating our abilities and opinions by comparing ourselves to others. As schadenfreude is a social comparison, where you are comparing yourself against the misfortune of someone else, you are forming an opinion or judging your own abilities on the others{{grammar}} misfortune. Schadenfreude is a complex cognitive emotion that has many different reasons as to why we feel it (Reeve, 2015). Schadenfreude can be derived from feelings of envy, instability in ones'{{grammar}} self-worth, personal gain, when it is believed that the misfortune is deserved, along with biological factors. == Why do we feel pleasure in the suffering of others? == === The role of self-evaluation === When a person’s positive self-evaluation is threatened or harmed, they may have a strong motivation to protect or restore their self-evaluation (Van Dijk, 2013). One possible course of action to achieving this positive self-view can involve comparing one’s own situation to that of another person (Van Dijk, 2013). As a result, comparing another person’s misfortune may provide a sense of self worth or value to ones{{grammar}} own life. This means that people can use social comparisons and enjoy the misfortune of others as it provides a more positive self-evaluation. [[File:Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala - Regreso al convento.jpg |thumb|250px|''Figure 2''. Monks taking pleasure in the misfortune of another monk, by Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala]] Research conducted by van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Wesseling, & van Koninbruggen (2011) supports the idea that schadenfreude can be intensified by a threat to our self evaluation. They hypothesise that another reason for people to feel schadenfreude is because it satisfies their need to view themselves positively (van Dijk, 2011) (see Figure 2). This is argued in [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]] which suggests that events and experiences that satisfy our concerns elicit positive emotions, whereas threat or harm will produce negative emotions (van Dijk, 2011). A way that people can make themselves feel better, according to [[w:Social_comparison_theory|Social Comparison Theory]], is to compare themselves to those who are less fortunate, also called 'downward social comparison' (van Dijk, 2011). Therefore, it is possible to argue that those who are suffering from self evaluation threat (and experiencing negative emotions), will use downward social comparison to help elicit positive emotions (Wills, 1981). The aim of Van Dijk's and his colleagues' (2011) research was to demonstrate that self-evaluation threat intensified schadenfreude in both threat-related and threat-unrelated domains. They were able to find that a threat to self-evaluation caused higher feelings of schadenfreude, and this was also possible to provoke in a threat-unrelated domain. This shows that self-evaluation can play a role towards feelings of schadenfreude. === Envy === [[File:Children marbles.jpg|thumb|225px|Figure 3. ''Envy shown in children with marbles'']] Envy (see Figure 3) has contradicting results when it came to schadenfreude. Many argued that there was a link between schadenfreude and envy, while others argued against this. van Dijk et al. (2006) investigated these contradictory results, and found that there is a link between schadenfreude and envy, but only when the misfortune fell upon someone who had some basis of similarity (e.g., gender). There{{grammar}} results found that if participants learnt about a misfortune of the opposite gender, schadenfreude would not be experienced (van Dijk, et al., 2006). However, when the same gender was identified as suffering misfortune, schadenfreude was identified. Smith, Powell, Combs, and Schurtz (2009) also show the correlation between envy and schadenfreude. They claim that envy is the polar opposite of a downward social comparison (Heider, 1958), however, when a misfortune occurs to someone who is envied, it transformed the comparison to a downwards one (Smith, et al., 2009). Conflicting reports on whether schadenfreude and envy are linked have been found, yet Smith et al., (2009), were able to replicate results where students who were enviable of another student felt greater schadenfreude when the person they envied suffered a misfortune, compared with those who were not in the envy group in the experiment. This provides empirical evidence that envy can lead to increased feelings of schadenfreude (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) continue to remark that superiority to others does not always lead to envy, but when it does, this greatly increases the likelihood of schadenfreude. === In-Group Inferiority === An in-group refers to when an individual will recognise themselves as part of a group when they identify with them on some sort of level. For example, when someone identifies with a sporting group e.g. a football team, they begin to become part of the in-group. Another example is when people associate themselves with their university, an in-group forms. In-group inferiority refers to how people can feel pleasure at the misfortune of others in an in-group situation. For example, when a football team wins, that group will feel a sense of joy at the misfortune of the other team. Smith et al. (2009) suggests that when people identify with a group, the group becomes part of the individual, and the individual becomes part of the group. Leach et al. (2003) argue that schadenfreude is only evident when a third party or situation is the one that causes the misfortune, meaning that schadenfreude cannot occur if the pleasure is experienced when you are the cause of another persons misfortune. They suggest that schadenfreude should increase when an outer-group suffer misfortune in an area of high interest to the in-group members. They also delve into the idea that in-group inferiority will increase feelings of schadenfreude (Leach, et al., 2003; Leach and Spears, 2009). Leach et al. (2003) were successful in showing that when an individual felt more passionately about what formed the group (e.g. football) higher levels of schadenfreude were evoked when a third party suffered misfortune (e.g. lost a football match), and those who were less passionate, yet still were associated with the in-group had lesser feelings of schadenfreude. They were also able to demonstrate that schadenfreude was increased when feelings of in-group inferiority were experienced, however, this only affected those with lower interests (Leach, et al., 2003). Leach et al. (2003) also express that the threat to in-group inferiority and the increase in schadenfreude to those with higher interests was not seen, as those who had higher interests were already experiencing higher levels of schadenfreude. === Personal Gain (Competition) === Smith, et al. (2009) argue that the emotion of schadenfreude can be a result of a personal gain. They liken this to competition, where when you, or your team wins, you feel pleasure and this is ultimately in the suffering of the other team (Smith, et al., 2009). This idea of competition is seen in other aspects of life, and more often in day to day situations. It is arguably under-appreciated as to how often schadenfreude appears in a competitive everyday situation (Smith, et al., 2009). For example, if you are up for a new job, there is most likely going to be more than one person up for the position, and if you are successful in the process, you will most likely feel joy. This feeling of schadenfreude is one that is less ugly compared to other feelings derived from other places such as envy. A competitive nature is somewhat highly regarded (as seen with our tendency to highlight sports, and sports people), and seen to be quite natural (Smith, et al., 2009). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this idea of personal gain is also evident in politics. Combs, Powell, Schurtz, and Smith (2009), conducted an experiment in the United States where they assessed whether schadenfreude was felt with political associations. They tested this by primarily assessing students{{grammar}} political identification, then by asking them to read an article which made out something embarrassing (or unfortunate) about the party leaders for both their party and the opposing party (Combs, et al., 2009). They found that schadenfreude was present when participants were shown articles about the opposing parties, and that the level of schadenfreude found depended on how affiliated one was with their{{grammar}} political party (Combs, et al., 2009). This also ties in with the idea of in-group identification, as these examples of schadenfreude are mostly group based successes or failures. They still hold the idea that when your group wins, you feel pleasure - at the misfortune of others. These findings emphasize the fact that schadenfreude is much more common than we would like to admit, is found in everyday life, and it is often regarded as natural and praised (Smith, et al., 2009). === Deserved Misfortune === Another justification for schadenfreude is the sense of deserved misfortune. When we feel that the misfortune that one has suffered is deserved, a feeling of pleasure is derived. It is argued that the feeling of deserved misfortune, which creates the feeling of schadenfreude, is a form of karmic retribution and gives us a sense of equilibrium (Lerner, & Miller, 1978). van Dijk, Ouwerkerk, Goslinga, & Nieweg (2005) showed the first empirical evidence on deserved misfortune and its link to schadenfreude. They showed evidence of schadenfreude increasing when it was perceived that the misfortune was more deserved (van Dijk, et al., 2005). They used a manipulation of responsibility to obtain differences in deserved misfortune, which led to the evidence that schadenfreude and a feeling of deserved misfortune are linked (van Dijk et al., 2005). Smith et al., (2009) discuss how this is also linked with hypocrisy. They explain that when we feel someone has been a hypocrite, we feel pleasure in the form of schadenfreude, at their misfortune. This is because we believe that the misfortune they are suffering is deserved. Smith, et al., (2009) yielded results in an experiment to examine the links between schadenfreude, deserved misfortune, and hypocrisy. They asked participants to read an article that presented an interview with a fellow student, where the student was either part of a campus organization about increasing academic integrity (high hypocrisy) or a student who was part of a French club (low hypocrisy) (Smith,et al., 2009). Participants were then shown a second article which said that the fellow student (in either case) was caught for plagiarism (Smith, et al., 2009). The results showed that those who were in the high hypocrisy group showed higher feelings of schadenfreude and that the student deserved the misfortune in comparison to those who were in the low hypocrisy group (Smith, et al. 2009). Smith, et al. (2009) also found similar outcomes when they changed the first article to be the same for all participants, and the manipulation came in the second article, where the other student was either caught in an immoral action that either matched the initial action that they were fighting against, or something completely unrelated. The results showed that when the immoral action matched that of the initial action higher levels of deserved misfortune and schadenfreude were felt. Unfortunately, this exact study was never published on its own, which questions whether there were problems with integrity in the research. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) discusses how schadenfreude and deserved misfortune are correlated to a just world belief. It was found that a threat to ones{{grammar}} just world belief increased ones pleasure at anothers' misfortune. Pietraszkiewicz (2013) argues that when failure is deserved, the greater the responsibility of the failure is, therefore, more schadenfreude is felt. === Biological components === ==== The role of Oxytocin ==== Research that was conducted by Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) investigated the role of oxytocin in envy and gloating, which are both related to schadenfreude. Shamay-Tsoory, et al. (2009) discuss how oxytocin (a peptide hormone) has been shown to have implications in the social behaviour of humans and mammals. Many of the research into oxytocin looks at maternal behaviours such as contraction regulation in labour, as well as parental behaviours like trusting collaborators. They suggest that previous research has shown that oxytocin release is related to pro-social behaviours (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Seeing as pro-social behaviours are increased by oxytocin, your negative social behaviours, like envy and gloating, would logically be reduced. However, there has been an indication that this is not the case (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). Sharmay-Tsoory et al. (2009) conducted an experiment which looked at the increase of oxytocin levels and its effect on these negatively perceived behaviours, such as schadenfreude. They concluded that gloating and envy, or schadenfreude, showed significantly higher rates of these emotions when oxytocin was given (Sharmay-Tsoory, et al., 2009). This research has provided evidence that oxytocin increases varying behaviours which are related to social behaviour, which in many roles are associated with parenting. ==== Neural Correlates ==== [[File:MRI anterior cingulate.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 4. ''MRI of anterior cingulate cortex'' ]] [[File:Dopamine Pathways.png|alt=|thumb|Figure 5. ''Position of the Ventral Striatum'']] Envy and schadenfreude are related emotions. Takahashi, et al. (2009) looked at the areas of the brain that were active when feelings of envy and schadenfreude were evoked. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) researchers looked for activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) (seen in image 2.) when envy was felt, as the anterior cingulate cortex is the area that is activated when our positive self-concept is being conflicted with external information, social pain, or cognitive conflicts (Takahashi, et al., 2009). When investigating the emotion of schadenfreude they were looking for activation in the ventral striatum, which is the central node of the rewards processing area (Takahashi, et al., 2009). The reward would be the joy that is derived in schadenfreude. Takahashi, et al. (2009) found that both areas which were targeted in their respective trials activated when the respective emotion was emitted. They found that when people had higher levels of schadenfreude, greater activation was seen in the ventral striatum. This was also found to be the case when investigating envy. Greater levels of envy showed higher activation in the dACC (Takahashi, et al., 2009). == Activities == ; Video To see an example of Pleasure derived from others misfortune follow this link to YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcRyTdFKjPU 14 awesome viral video fails in 30 seconds] ; Poll After watching this video please complete this short poll to see how others feel when it comes to Schadenfreude [http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=562c7466e4b09c75340b5249 Link to poll] Why do some people find videos like this funny?

It has many underlying concepts which relate to Social Comparison Theory, especially when evaluating the role of self-evaluation and schadenfreude. It is more commonly seen as a morally disturbed emotion, especially when feelings of envy, self-evaluation, and in-group inferiority are causes. However, it is seen quite commonly in everyday life, especially when it comes to situations or individuals with a competitive nature. There are many layers that underlie why schadenfreude occurs. Emotions such as envy, feelings of deservingness, personal gain, in-group inferiority and self-evaluation can all play a role in schadenfreude and why we feel this emotion, and there can be more than one reason as to why we experience schadenfreude. Other biological reasons, such as the role of oxytocin, and activity in the ventral striatum also play a role in feelings of schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is difficult to elicit in a clinical setting in an ethical way, which may be why conflicting results have been obtained for much of the research. Limitations in assessing schadenfreude may include social biases, as schadenfreude is an emotion that is generally considered immoral. This can lead to participants under-reporting their feelings of schadenfreude when being asked about it. A possible solution to this would be to conduct the schadenfreude eliciting part of the experiment under fMRI, as activity in the ventral striatum has been linked to schadenfreude, and it may be another way to see if someone is experiencing schadenfreude, without self-reporting. This may become more costly and less time effective, which would be a reason to stay clear of this research technique, however, it does become an option. Due to the many aspects and layers of schadenfreude, van Dijk et al., (2011) suggest that future research into which determinants effect schadenfreude under what circumstances will aid in further understanding why we feel pleasure in others misfortune. There may possibly be other reasons as to why we feel schadenfreude, greater research into the biological aspects of schadenfreude may also enhance our understanding of this emotion. Through investigating schadenfreude and the reasons why we might feel this emotion can aid to enrich our understanding and improve on out emotional lives, as when an experience of schadenfreude is likely to occur or is experienced, taking a step back and evaluating why we are feeling this emotion may lead to a greater emotional understanding and awareness. ==See also== * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Deservingness and emotion#Schadenfreude|Deservingness and emotion]] (Book chapter, 2013) * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Envy|Envy]] (Book chapter, 2011) * [[w:Schadenfreude|Schadenfreude]] (Wikipedia) ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Combs, D.

Before deleting a page, you are encouraged to read: [[Wikiversity:Welcome templates]]. === Edit and move protection of pages === {{See also|Wikiversity:Page protection}} Curators can [[Wikiversity:Page protection|protect pages]] to prevent editing. There are two types of page protection: semi-protection, which prevents anonymous and new users from editing, and full protection, which prevents all non-custodians and non-curators from editing. A page can also be protected to prevent moving. Page protection can be lifted by any custodian or curator upon request at [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action]]. Page protections and unprotections can be monitored by viewing the [[Special:Log/protect|protection log]]. === Rollback === {{see also|Wikiversity:Rollback}} [[Image:Rollback button.png|thumb|300px|Rollback button]] Curators have a ''[[Wikiversity:Rollback|rollback tool]]'' to revert the last change or group of changes made to a page by the same user. There is no option to provide an edit summary when using this tool. Instead, a summary such as "{{int:Revertpage}}" will be used automatically. This tool is primarily used to respond to obvious vandalism. For other edit reversions, the rollback button should not be used and a good edit summary should be provided. === Import === {{see also|Wikiversity:Import}} Curators have access to the [[Special:Import|import tool]], to bring materials from Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Beta Wikiversity, Wikiquote, and Wikisource. == What can't curators do? == Curators can't block users or change user rights. These actions require [[Wikiversity:Custodianship|Custodianship]] and [[Wikiversity:Bureaucratship|Bureaucratship]] respectively. == How are curators expected to act? == {{shortcut|WV:CUR/E}} Curators are supposed to follow the same principles as every other user, including [[Wikiversity:Civility|being civil]], [[Wikiversity:Assume Good Faith|assuming good faith]], and understanding [[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity?|what Wikiversity is]]. They are expected to act professionally, and to respect policy and [[Wikiversity:Consensus|community consensus]]. ==Problems with curators== {{shortcut|WV:CUR/P}} If you have a question about an action (page deletion, page protection, violation of Wikiversity policy or some other action that does serious damage to the project) by a Wikiversity curator, the first thing to do is leave a message on that curator's user discussion page. Curators should always be able to explain how their actions support the Wikiversity project. If you did not get a satisfactory answer after a discussion with the curator, follow up with their mentor. Actions of a curator are ultimately the responsibility of their mentor(s). Any custodian may remove a curator's rights, but first try to resolve all curator problems by discussion. Post a request at [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action]] if discussion does not successfully resolve the issue. == Notes == {{shortcut|WV:CUR/N}} * Curatorship is a responsibility, not a right. While everyone is encouraged to apply for curatorship, the position is not suited for everyone. Please also note that in all instances not listed above, curators have no more power or weight than other users. "Curatorship is not a big deal." * Curators should set their "user preferences" so as to provide for email contacts from other Wikiversity participants. If you do not use email, then you must make yourself easily available by some other means such as [[Wikiversity:Chat|IRC chat]]. * The maximum time period of inactivity <u>without community review</u> for curators is two years (consistent with the [[:meta:Category:Global policies|global policy]] described at [[meta:Admin activity review|Admin activity review]] which applies for [[Wikiversity:Custodianship#Notes|Custodians]] and [[Wikiversity:Bureaucratship|Bureaucrats]]). The curator should be notified on their talk page and, if there is no response after one month, a custodian will remove the rights. == Useful reads for curators == ===Wikiversity=== * [[Wikiversity:No shrines for vandals]] * [[Wikiversity:Policies]] * [[How to be a Wikimedia sysop/Wikiversity]] ===MediaWiki/Wikimedia=== * [[How to be a Wikimedia sysop]] * [[b:MediaWiki Administrator's Handbook|MediaWiki Administrator's Handbook]] ==See also== * [[Special:ListUsers/curator|List of current Wikiversity curators]] * [[Wikiversity:Bureaucratship]] * [[Wikiversity:Custodianship]] * [[Wikiversity:Support staff|Wikiversity:Staff]] [[Category:Wikiversity administration]] [[Category:Wikiversity custodianship]] [[Category:Wikiversity user roles]] rmw7dp1vzk47fh27velmk1xe1ikwekx Christianity/Ordo Salutis 0 237325 2807936 2529942 2026-05-08T16:59:15Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807936 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Christianity}} {{lesson}} The '''''[[Wikipedia:Ordo Salutis|Ordo Salutis]]''''' (aka 'Order of Salvation') is a theological organisation of the 'Doctrines of Grace'.

As Protestant scholarship matured, other Soteriological doctrines received attention, and the 'Doctrines of Grace' began to coalesce. For example the [[Wikipedia:Westminister Confession of Faith|Westminster Confession of Faith]], published in 1647 included explanations of Effectual Calling, Justification, Sanctification and Perservance. Then the Puritan author [[Wikipedia:John Bunyan|John Bunyan]] published in 1678 the Christian allegory ''[[Pilgrim's Progress]]'' which popularised the concept that salvation was a journey. Later the [[Latin]] term ''Ordo Salutis'' was coined in the 1700s by Lutheran theologians to "designate the consecutive steps in the work of the Holy Spirit in the appropriation of salvation."<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |lastSeeberg |first=R |author-link= |editor-last=Jackson |editor-first=Samuekl |encyclopedia=New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge |title=Order of Salvation |trans-title= |url= |access-date=9 July 2018 |language=en |edition= |date=1953 |year= |publisher=Baker Book House |series= |volume=3 |location=Grand Rapids |pages=252-253 |archive-url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/encyc08/Page_253.html |archive-date= |quote= |ref=}}</ref> The modern Reformed conception of the 'Order of Salvation' was established in 1955 with the publication of ''Redemption Accomplished and Applied'' by [[Wikipedia:John Murray (theologian)|John Murray]]. ==The Accomplished and Applied paradigm== The various Doctrines of Grace receive varying amounts of Scriptural 'airtime' and theological attention. Furthermore, sometimes Biblical Theology will focus on the work of God and at other times focus on the human response. In order to present the Doctrines of Grace coherently it's necessary to think about them both logically and experientially. Additionally, the doctrines of Grace move towards, flow from and are centred around the Atonement of Jesus. The death and resurrection of Jesus are the central events of Christianity and therefore there should be a clear connection between the Atonement and the Doctrines of Grace. John Murray's accomplished and applied paradigm does that.<ref name=contents>{{cite book |last=Murray |first=John |date=1955 |title=Redemption Accomplished and Applied |url= |location=Grand Rapids |publisher=William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company |page=7 |isbn=9780802811431 |author-link= }}</ref> It will be useful to keep this paradigm in mind as you think about each of the doctrines of Grace individually and then plot their logical and experiential order. {| class="wikitable" border="0" |- ! Accomplished ! Applied |- | Atonement | Doctrines of Grace |- |} ===Applied=== The Doctrines of Grace are the application to us of Jesus' Atonement. The Ordo Salutis is focused on the logical and Scriptural sequence of the Doctrines of Grace and John Murray explains why we need a particular Order of Salvation: <div style="background: #FFFCFA;{{Text default color}}; width: 50%;"><div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right:3em; text-align: justify; border-left: thin solid #999999; border-right: thin solid #999999; margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">When we think of the application of redemption we must not think of it as one simple and indivisible act. It comprises of a series of acts and processes. To mention some, we have calling, regeneration, justification, adoption, sanctification, glorification. These are all distinct, and not one of these can be definied in terms of the other. Each has its own distinct meaning, function and purpose in the action and grace of God. ... There are good and conclusive reasons for thinking of the various actions of the applications of redemption, some of which have been mentioned, take place in a certain order, and that order has been established by divine appointment, wisdom and grace.<ref>{{cite book |last=Murray |first=John |date=1955 |title=Redemption Accomplished and Applied |url= |location=Grand Rapids |publisher=William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company |pages=79-80 |isbn=9780802811431 |author-link= }}</ref></div></div> While there is a logical order of ''consideration'' there is also a logical order of ''application''. The logical order of consideration is simply the sequence at which each doctrine should be considered. Murray suggests the following logical sequence of consideration.<ref name=contents></ref> (This is technically what is meant by the Ordo Salutis.) #Effectual Calling #Regeneration #Justification #Adoption #Sanctification #Persverance #Union with Christ #Glorificaiton However, as Murry noted above, the Order of Salvation is "a series of acts and processes." This is the logical order of ''application''. Some of the doctrines describe discrete and distinct events while other doctrines describe on-going 'through-themes'. The Diagraming section is an attempt to capture this more dynamic ordering of the Ordo Salutis. (The order of application shouldn't be confused with an individual's personal ''experience'' of the Doctrines of Grace, but they will be related.) ==Doctrines of Grace== ===Predestination=== Instead of obeying God and eating from the tree life, Adam chose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and become like God. This act invited destruction into the world because Adam and Eve became like God knowing good and evil. They replaced God with themselves. This action changed history and as a result, Adam and the human race were condemned to destruction. Predestination is the doctrine of a changed destiny. It signals the start of God's plan to rescue a chosen (Doctrine of Election) people. It could be illustrated with a rocket trajectory or red thread because it signals that despite the horror of sin, God has a plan of salvation. ===Election=== When Adam sinned against God, he choose sin instead of God (Phil). So God gave him and the human-race over (Rom) to destruction. However, the Doctrine of Election describes God's unwarranted mercy in choosing some to save. God's reasoning for choosing some and not all to save, is a mystery. (Rom . 9) This pattern of choosing, begins with Abraham and is demonstrated through the history of Israel. During the ministry of Jesus, a new covenant is made and gentiles are added as equal participants. ===Regeneration=== [[File:Regrowth after forest fire.jpg|thumb|left|Regrowth after forest fire]] Regeneration is the progressive work of the Holy Spirit in a person's life, prompting them to respond to the gospel, helping them repent of sin and seek Jesus. This reflects the Spirit's part in the Humiliation of Christ when the Holy Spirit falls upon Jesus during baptism and sends him into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. Just the Holy Spirit sends Jesus into the desert, the Holy Spirit sends the sinner towards God and works behind the scenes to enable to the application of the other Doctrines of Grace. ===Effectual Calling=== Effectual Calling is the doctrine of invitation. God does not create automatons but responds to beings who were created with the power to choose, a power highlighted by Adam and Eve's fateful choice in the Garden of Eden. This is where the discussion of human responsibility takes place. God extends an invitation through the proclamation of the gospel and people choose to respond. ===Union with Christ=== [[File:Christ with beard.jpg|thumb|left|4th century mural of Christ]] Belonging to God is a major theme of Scripture. The nation of Israel lives around the temple, in proximity to God's presence and is called to live a distinctive life. However, since Adam, the world has belonged to the "Prince of this world", the Satanic Strongman, aka the ancient serpent. A frequent phrase in the New Testament is "in-Christ" signalling the type of relationship that faith in Jesus creates. Union with Christ is the vehicle through which many of the doctrines of grace take place. Righteousness is imputed to believers because they belong to Christ, their regeneration helps them improve their experience of belonging to Christ through Mortification and Vivification. ===Justification=== At the centre of the doctrines of Grace is a believer's changed moral status. Adam was expelled from the garden and through his rejection of God became to morally repugnant to enter God's presence. Everyone else is also cloaked in this unrighteousness, until Jesus. The Doctrine of Justification describes how the condemnation of sin is removed from a believer and placed on Jesus and then the believer is given Jesus' righteous status. ===Adoption=== The doctrine that describes a Christian's new status in relation to God. ===Sanctification=== The doctrine of Sanctification is a broad concept, that describes both the holy state of a believer, their progressive change over time and is over-arching category for both the doctrines of mortification and vivification. ===Mortification=== The doctrine that describes the activity of putting sin to death. ===Vivification=== Seeking the 'Beatific Vision', new knowledge about God and things that strength your faith in Jesus. ===Persevering=== The doctrine that describes how a believer continues to trust Jesus from their first response to the moment of death. ===Glorification=== The Doctrine of Glorification is the final triumphant completion of salvation. ==Alternative Orderings== ==Diagraming== ==Related Topics== :'''Atonement''': :'''Expiation''': :'''Imputation''': :'''Propitiation''': :'''Monogenism''': :'''Repentance''': :'''Redemption''': :'''Synergism''': ==Notes== == See Also == * [[Wikipedia: Ordo salutis]] ==Bibliography== ==References== [[Category:Theology]][[Category:Reformed Theology]] {{NOINDEX/DRAFT}} cehzlsr15863x6qatn35r1x1vursp6a Network+/Architecture/Services/Reverse Proxy 0 252752 2807982 2693493 2026-05-09T07:22:34Z Juandev 2651 - delete (see [[Talk:Network+#Pages proposed in December 2024 not deleted]]); + [[:Category:Network+ pages proposed for deletion in December 2024]] 2807982 wikitext text/x-wiki [[w:Reverse proxy]] is a type of [[proxy server]] that retrieves resources on behalf of a client from one or more servers. === Activities === # [[/Review list of available proxy servers/]] == See also == * [[Proxy Server]] [[Category:Networking]] [[Category:Network+ pages proposed for deletion in December 2024]] 3v2qgziwizb5r1haf0bwo5p4kpucoxi Wikiversity:Interface administrators 4 256577 2807995 2807543 2026-05-09T10:10:50Z Jtneill 10242 /* What can interface administrators do? */ Tidy table display 2807995 wikitext text/x-wiki {{policy|WV:IA}} [[File:Wikiversity Interface administrator.svg|right|130px|link=]] A Wikiversity '''interface administrator''' is a trusted user who has the technical ability to edit the [[w:Wikipedia:User scripts|JavaScript]] and [[w:Help:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] of all users. == What can interface administrators do? == Interface administrators may use their rights as described below:<ref group=n>Interface administrators may '''never''' [[:w:WP:WHEEL|wheel war]] or [[:w:WP:Edit warring|edit war]] using their rights, even if they are editing according to policy.

A good rule of thumb is to vary the training strategy every 15 – 20 minutes. For example, a one-hour training session about how to use a new piece of equipment may start with a short lecture to explain the functioning of the equipment and essential safety considerations, followed by a demonstration of how to work with the equipment, followed by a question-and-answer period (to check for comprehension), followed by hands-on, guided practice for each learner with the equipment. In addition, the following questions should be considered when selecting strategies: 1. ''Strategies familiar to this audience'' * What kinds of training strategies will the learners be expecting? A traditional school classroom experience? A PowerPoint presentation? An all-day field school? * Determine the strategies most employed during the community’s most recent training experience. On the whole, was the experience positive or negative? 2. ''Factors affecting strategy'' <span style="color:#000000;">Many factors affect the </span>choice<span style="color:#000000;"> of strategy for a learning session. Because strategies must be aligned with the learning objectives, your training content must be considered carefully before deciding upon any set strategies. The following two factors may also be considered:</span> <div style="margin-left:0.4925in;margin-right:0in;"><span style="color:#000000;">''Learning preferences''</span><span style="color:#000000;">: it is generally recognized that different people prefer to learn in different ways.

The implication is that more concrete learning strategies result in better recall of the learning experience. In general, the more senses are involved in a learning experience, the better that experience will be learned and remembered.</span> [[File:Modified diagram of Dale's cone of experience.png|thumb|408x408px|Adapted from [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Edgar_Dale%27s_cone_of_learning.gif Dale's Cone of Experience]]] '''Learners generally remember…''' <div style="margin-left:0.4925in;margin-right:0in;">A very small amount of what they '''read ''or'' hear''' A small amount of what they '''see''' More of what they '''see ''and'' hear''' Much of what they '''say and write''' Most of what they '''do''' </div> 3. ''Preferred strategies of the trainer(s):'' Experienced trainers usually have one or two strategies that they prefer and consequently use far more than others. Although they may teach very proficiently with these select strategies, they may become reluctant to try other strategies even when their preferred strategies are not appropriate to the learner audience or the instructional material. <span style="color:#000000;">When planning learning strategies, </span>curriculum<span style="color:#000000;"> developers should find out which strategies the trainer prefers and work with the trainer to determine which learning activities would fit those strategies best. Trainers should, however, be familiar with at least half a dozen strategies so that learning activities can be varied and kept interesting.</span> 4. ''Recommended activities for the content'': In many ways, the type of content and learning objectives must influence the type of activities chosen. Following a careful consideration of the content and learning objectives, the learner audience and environment, and the strategies available, the curriculum developer can select a short list of at least a half-dozen strategies which are likely to work best. <-- [[Curriculum Planning/Trainer Profile|Previous page]] / [[Curriculum Planning/Content and Curriculum|Next page]] --> {{CourseCat}} 98f5uu4uhr9nbbpzs9x2typwxrnd03f CSS/Grid 0 284327 2807942 2745980 2026-05-08T17:07:50Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807942 wikitext text/x-wiki In [[CSS]], there are several ways of creating a grid layout: Using <code>display:grid</code> on the parent element, using <code>display:inline-block</code>, using <code>float:left</code>, using <code>column-width</code>, and using an old-fashioned table. Some of these examples have links to archived pages where said method has been implemented. == display:grid == This method is supported in browsers since early 2017. It automatically applies widths to child elements within a container, meaning a width does not need to be specified for the child elements. <ul style="display:grid; width:50px; list-style:none; grid-template-columns: auto auto;"> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">1</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">2</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">3</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">4</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">5</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">6</li> </ul> Style sheet: <syntaxhighlight lang=css> ul { display: grid; width: 50px; list-style: none; grid-template-columns: auto auto; /* two columns */ } li { background-color: #cfc; } </syntaxhighlight> == display:inline-block == The display:inline-block method is supported in browsers since the late 2000s. As an example, YouTube uses this method on its shelf layout on channel pages since around 2013, when it deprecated support for Internet Explorer 7, which does not support this method.<ref>Example: http://web.archive.org/web/20130501161017/http://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie/videos</ref> It works by specifying a width for the child elements. For example, for five elements per row, specify <code>width:20%</code>. For a constant width and a variable count of elments per row, specify a width in a constant unit such as <code>width:200px</code>. Make sure to make the container element slightly wider than the child elements to leave a small margin room which prevents the last element in the row from being pushed in the row below. In this example, the list container is 50 pixels wide, and the grid boxes within are 20 pixels wide: <ul style="width:50px; list-style:none;"> <li style="display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">1</li> <li style="display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">2</li> <li style="display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">3</li> <li style="display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">4</li> <li style="display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">5</li> <li style="display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">6</li> </ul> Style sheet: <syntaxhighlight lang=css> ul { width:50px; list-style:none; } li { display:inline-block; width:20px; background-color:#cfc; } </syntaxhighlight> Alternatively, the blocks can be made slightly narrower than the desired width of the fraction: <syntaxhighlight lang=css> ul { width:40px; list-style:none; } li { display:inline-block; width:18px; background-color:#cfc; } </syntaxhighlight> == Float == The float element was used by YouTube on its channel pages until early 2013 to maintain support for Internet Explorer 7.<ref>Example: http://web.archive.org/web/20130401012143/http://www.youtube.com/user/BibisBeautyPalace/videos</ref> However, since floating is not intended for creating grid layouts, additional CSS parameters may be necessary to justify the content.<ref>[https://dzone.com/articles/css-grid-solution-to-the-problems-of-float-and-fle-1 CSS Grid Solution to the Problems of Float and Flexbox], by Arnau Silvestre from Web Dev Zone</ref> For example, below the following grid, an additional "<code>&lt;div&gt;</code>" tag with "<code>clear:both</code>" had to be added to prevent the next element from being right next to the list instead of below. <ul style="width:50px; list-style:none;"> <li style="float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">1</li> <li style="float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">2</li> <li style="float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">3</li> <li style="float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">4</li> <li style="float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">5</li> <li style="float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">6</li> </ul> <div style="float:none; clear:both;"></div> Style sheet: <syntaxhighlight lang=css> ul { width:50px; list-style:none; } li { float:left; width:20px; background-color:#cfc; } </syntaxhighlight> == Table == A table can be used to create a grid layout since the early days of graphical web browsers, but the number of elements per row can not adapt to screen width, and each row of items needs to be put inside a separate "<code>&lt;tr&gt;</code>" tag manually, which takes more effort. Example use: <ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20070601061506/http://spielaffe.de/</ref> Legacy HTML: <table width="50" cellpadding=1> <tr> <td width=20 style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">1</td> <td width=20 style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">2</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=20 style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">3</td> <td width=20 style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">4</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=20 style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">5</td> <td width=20 style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">6</td> </tr> </table> With CSS: <table style="width:50px; border-spacing:1px;"> <tr> <td style="width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">1</td> <td style="width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">2</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">3</td> <td style="width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">4</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">5</td> <td style="width:20px; background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">6</td> </tr> </table> Style sheet: <syntaxhighlight lang=css> table { width:50px; border-spacing:1px; } td { width:20px; background-color:#cfc; } </syntaxhighlight> == column-width == The <code>column-width</code> property is popular for creating "waterfall" layouts with constant widths but variable heights per item. On Firefox and Chrome, it was implemented in the late 2000s with the respective <code>-moz-</code> and <code>-webkit-</code> [[:Wikipedia: Vendor prefix|vendor prefixes]]. The non-prefixed property <code>column-width</code> was first implemented in 2012 in Internet Explorer 10, then on Chrome 50 in 2015 and Firefox 50 in 2016.<ref>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/column-width column-width - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets – Mozilla Developer Network]</ref> Distinctly, the items are located in a vertical instead of a horizontal order. <ul style="column-width:20px; width:60px; list-style:none;"> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">1</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">2</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">3</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">4</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">5</li> <li style="background-color:#cfc;{{Text default color}};">6</li> </ul> Style sheet: <syntaxhighlight lang=css> ul { column-width:20px; width:60px; list-style:none; } li { background-color:#cfc; } </syntaxhighlight> == References == <references /> [[Category:CSS]] 9610g3k011eor44rkxg2emeyn5z31nx Wikiversity:GUS2Wiki 4 285491 2807966 2807215 2026-05-08T22:03:18Z Alexis Jazz 791434 Updating gadget usage statistics from [[Special:GadgetUsage]] ([[phab:T121049]]) 2807966 wikitext text/x-wiki {{#ifexist:Project:GUS2Wiki/top|{{/top}}|This page provides a historical record of [[Special:GadgetUsage]] through its page history.

Have you ever been let down by someone? Have you ever made plans that fell apart at the last minute? Have you ever felt that your effort was not recognised or rewarded?</blockquote>If yes, you likely experienced '''disappointment''' (see Figure 1). Disappointment is one of the most common and frequently experienced negative [[wikipedia:Emotion|emotions]] (Van Dijk & Zeelenberg, 2002). Such emotions help us in our everyday lives (Izard, 2010); they motivate us to cope, communicate, and [[wiktionary:adapt|adapt]] to the world around us (Izard, 2010). Although there is no official definition for the word "emotion" (Mulligan & Scherer, 2012), emotions also involve feelings, bodily arousal, purpose, and expression (Izard, 2010). This chapter describes the psychology of disappointment, explores the causes of disappointment, and discusses what can be done to manage disappointment. {{RoundBoxTop|theme=13}} '''Focus questions''' * What is disappointment? * What causes disappointment? * How can disappointment be managed? {{RoundBoxBottom}} ==What is disappointment?== [[File:Centreville High School (Virginia) 1998 · DD-SP-99-04111.JPEG|thumb|'''Figure 2'''. A [[w:American football|American football]] player comforts a disappointed teammate after a loss.]] Disappointment is an emotion that occurs when someone compares an actual outcome to the perceived better outcome that did not occur, or when one's expectations are not met (Zeelenberg et al., 1998a, b). In the context of disappointment, outcomes could be anything, for example, a friend forgetting to do the task you asked them to do, receiving a lower mark on an assignment than you expected, or listening to the new album of your favourite artist and discovering that you don't like any of the songs. Disappointment is all about expectations, and reflecting on what ''could'' have happened (Zeleenberg et al., 1998a, b) (see Figure 2). Disappointment is a decision-making emotion and has historically been researched using forced choice tasks, where participants are forced to choose between two options, or asking participants to recall moments when they have experienced disappointment (Zeleenberg et al., 1998a; see [[The Regret and Disappointment Scale|the regret and disappointment scale]] for a way to measure disappointment). Researchers generally use choice tasks when researching how disappointment works and various aspects of disappointment, and recall tasks are generally used to define or gain insight on everyday disappointment. One downside to researching disappointment in this way is that disappointment has been shown to increase in forced choice tasks (Matarazzo et al., 2021). However, Matarazzo et al. (2021) found that the thinking, action tendencies, and feelings of disappointment in forced choice tasks are possibly due to the nature of forced choice tasks. [[File:Wayuu woman with sad face in the market buying.jpg|right|200px|thumb|'''Figure 3'''. The facial expression of [[wikipedia:Sadness|sadness]] may be misunderstood as disappointment. Disappointment arises from unmet expectations, whereas sadness is a response to loss.]] Like [[wikipedia:Envy|envy]] or [[wikipedia:Empathy|empathy]], disappointment is a cognitively complex emotion (Ramachandran & Jalal, 2017). Disappointment typically involves feeling powerless, a tendency to remove oneself from the situation, and a desire to do nothing (van Dijk et al., 1999). In some cases, disappointment can look like [[wikipedia:Depression_(mood)|depression]], [[wikipedia:Sadness|sadness]] (see Figure 3), [[wikipedia:Embarrassment|embarrassment]], or [[wikipedia:Extraversion_and_introversion|introversion]]; as the disappointed individual may withdraw from social situations, feel as if they have experienced a loss, try to avoid similar situations, or not want to participate in general. Disappointment can be paralysing, especially experiencing a string of disappointing events back-to-back, however, people are less likely to hold on to their disappointment and are more likely to move on from the experience in a relatively short amount of time (Zeleenberg et al., 1998a, b).

Many researchers, including David Bell, [[wikipedia:Graham_Loomes|Graham Loomes]], and [[wikipedia:Robert_Sugden_(economist)|Robert Sugden]], were exploring decision making under uncertainty and the emotions that accompany these decisions. After simultaneously publishing their regret theories in 1982, Bell (1985), and Loomes and Sugden (1986) developed their theories of disappointment. A key assumption these theories make is that decision makers anticipate emotions and take them into account when making a decision (Zeleenberg et al., 1998b, 2000). According to Bell (1985), disappointment "is a psychological reaction to an outcome that does not match up with expectations" (p. 1). Bell (1985) believed that perceived disappointment changes the desirability of the outcome and influences how people will act. According to Loomes and Sugden (1986), "when considering any uncertain prospect, an individual forms some ''prior expectation'' ... if that consequence falls short of the prior expectation... the individual... experiences some degree of disappointment" (p.271). Loomes and Sugden (1986) have acknowledged that they share the same basic intuition about disappointment as Bell (1985). {{Robelbox/close}} === Types of disappointment === There are two widely recognised types of disappointment. These are outcome-related disappointment [ORD] and person-related disappointment [PRD] (van Dijk & Zeelenberg, 2002). ORD occurs when the expected pleasurable outcome does not occur (van Dijk & Zeelenberg, 2002). This type of disappointment is often researched using forced choice tasks. People who experience ORD may feel [[wiktionary:hopeless|hopeless]] or empty, want a second chance, or try harder to change the outcome next time (van Dijk & Zeelenberg, 2002). PRD occurs when you attribute the undesirable outcome to another person (van Dijk & Zeelenberg, 2002). This type of disappointment is not often focused upon, however, it is probably the most commonly experienced type. People who experience PRD may feel abandoned or distanced from the other person, disapprove of them, and ignore or avoid them (van Dijk & Zeelenberg, 2002). One important consideration is that van Dijk and Zeelenberg (2002) assume that PRD is cause by another person, however, one can be disappointed in themselves. While there has not been research into dimensions of PRD, it would be useful to refine the idea of PRD or research self-disappointment and determine if it should be included in PRD or if it should be considered self-related disappointment. === Test yourself === <quiz display="simple"> {Mary's boss received a complaint from a customer about Mary. Mary was made aware of the complaint and then fired. Mary is likely to experience: |type="()"} + PRD - ORD {Alex is trying to get a snack from a vending machine. Alex put their money into the vending machine and typed in the code for lemonade. The vending machine did not give Alex lemonade, and took their money. Alex is likely to experience: |type="()"} - PRD + ORD </quiz> == What causes disappointment? == [[File:Insula structure.png|alt=Structure of the three sections of the insula|thumb|300px|'''Figure 4.''' Brain image highlighting the posterior, mid, and anterior insula.]] Disappointment is caused by thoughts and [[wikipedia:Cognition|mental processes]] that originate in the [[wikipedia:Cerebral_cortex|cerebral cortex]]. Multiple brain regions have been shown to be active during disappointment or to contribute to the process of disappointment, namely the [[wikipedia:Insular_cortex|insula]] (see Figure 4), and various regions of the [[wikipedia:Prefrontal_cortex|prefrontal cortex]] (see Figure 5) (Chua et al., 2009; Kalat, 2019; Mohr et al., 2010). Due to the complexity of disappointment, some brain regions work together to produce disappointment. === Insula === The insula is the brain region responsible for knowing what actions are caused by the self and what actions are not, as well as learning and processing risk and uncertainty (Farrer & Frith, 2002). The [[wikipedia:Anatomical_terms_of_location#Anterior_and_posterior|anterior]] insula monitors, evaluates, and consciously represents emotions and feelings that arise from bodily states monitored by the [[wikipedia:Anatomical_terms_of_location#Anterior_and_posterior\|posterior]] insula, including risk (Craig, 2009). When individuals experience disappointment their anterior insula becomes active (Chua et al., 2009; Mohr et al., 2010); it is also active in the presence of potential loss (Mohr et al., 2010). This could be because individuals can predict that they will feel disappointed if loss was to occur. === Prefrontal cortex === [[File:Prefrontal cortex (left) animation.gif|alt=Rotating skull containing left Prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is highlighted |thumb|''Figure 5.'' Brain image highlighting the prefrontal cortex (PFC).]] The prefrontal cortex [PFC] is a large section of the brain that is involved various processes, including decision making, working memory, emotional reactions, and movement (Kalat, 2019). It has been shown that the anterior regions of the PFC are responsible for decision making, evaluating which course will provide the best outcome, and determining the probability of achieving a good outcome (Kalat, 2019). This is why [[wikipedia:Lateralization_of_brain_function|hemispherical differences]], the [[wikipedia:Ventromedial_prefrontal_cortex|ventromedial PFC]] (see Figure 6), [[wikipedia:Orbitofrontal_cortex|orbitofrontal cortex]] (see Figure 5), and [[wikipedia:Dorsomedial_prefrontal_cortex|dorsomedial PFC]] (see Figure 6) are considered to be contributing factors to the experience of disappointment (Chua et al., 2009; Davidson, 2004; Kalat, 2019). ==== Hemispherical differences ==== The right PFC is sensitive to punishment and controls impulsive behaviour, and the left is associated with coping, resilience, and psychological wellbeing (Davidson, 2004). When an individual experiences damage to their right PFC, cues that would normally signal danger are no longer received and the individual acts impulsively (Davidson, 2004). Therefore, when an individual encounters a risky or potentially disappointing situation, the right PFC activates and sends a "no-go" message to avoid the situation and perceived disappointment. ==== Ventromedial prefrontal cortex ==== [[File:Cortical midline structures.png|thumb|'''Figure 6.''' Brain image highlighting various cortical regions, including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC), and the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC).]] The ventromedial PFC [VMPFC] learns what choices are beneficial and what choices are not, adjusting decision making accordingly (Kalat, 2019). The VMPFC also monitors confidence in one's decisions (Kalat, 2019). As the VMPFC is connected to the insula, it is able to attach emotions to choices and other stimuli that is being considered (Craig, 2009). For example, if you feel confident that you have made the right decision and will achieve a good outcome, you will feel more disappointed than you would have felt if you were less confident that you will achieve a good outcome. Damage to the VMPFC has been shown to cause impairments in the ability to make considered decisions. Individuals with VMPFC damage tend to make impulsive decisions based on probability, rather than making considered decisions based on reality (Kalat, 2019). This can lead to constant or [[wiktionary:chronic|chronic]] disappointment as the VMPFC cannot adjust decision making based on previous experience. Below is an example of how the VMPFC works. {{Robelbox|theme=6|title= Case study|width=1000px}}<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> You are playing [[w:Uno|Uno]]. You have 5 cards to play, and so do your four opponents. You only have number cards, and based off of the cards that have already been played, your opponents must have at least one draw 4 card. You strategically match the number that was last played so that you change the colour of the deck; this makes it more likely that a draw 4 card will be played after your turn, and not used on you. If the draw 4 card is used on you, you will feel more disappointed as your strategy did not work. If the draw 4 card is not used on you, you will feel good about your strategy and continue to use it in the future. </div> {{Robelbox-close}} ==== Orbitofrontal cortex ==== [[File:MRI of orbitofrontal cortex.jpg|alt=Orbitofrontal cortex highlighted on brain MRI|thumb|'''Figure 7.''' Approximate location of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) on an MRI.]] The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) (see Figure 7) responds to information from the VMPFC. It is the part of the brain that changes and updates expected outcomes of our actions based on current circumstances (Kalat, 2019). The OFC actively differentiates between 'disappointing' (not good) and 'not disappointing' (good) options or outcomes, and chooses the option that is most likely to lead to a 'not disappointing' outcome (O'Doherty, 2004). Damage or inactivity of the OFC is associated with impulsive and otherwise poor decision making, leading to disappointing outcomes (Kalat, 2019). Below is an example of how the OFC decides what to do. {{Robelbox|theme=6|title= Case study|width=1000px}}<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> You decide to go to 54 Benjamin for breakfast. When you arrive, you remember that the last time you went there you didn't like the drink you ordered. You also remember that when you were there your friend ordered a drink that you liked the look of, and your friend said it was quite good. This time you order what your friend had last time and you are not disappointed. </div> {{Robelbox-close}} ==== Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex ==== The dorsomedial PFC [DMPFC] plays a role in both cognition and emotion (Eickhoff et al., 2016). The DMPFC is responsible for anticipating rewards, monitoring performance, selecting actions, and signalling errors and [[wiktionary:adverse|adverse]] outcomes (Taren et al., 2011); and is activated when individuals experience disappointment (Chua et al., 2009). The DMPFC regulates responses to unpredictable negative [[w:Stimulus (psychology)|stimuli]] and regulates [[wiktionary:reappraisal|reappraisal]] and [[wikipedia:Distraction|distraction]] (Helion et al., 2019). Once an emotion is identified, the DMPFC shapes the intensity of the emotion based on the individual's goals (Helion, Krueger, & Ochsner, 2019). The more invested or important the outcome is, and the more adverse the opposite outcome is, the more disappointment is experienced. Below is an example of how the DMPFC works. {{Robelbox|theme=6|title= Case study}}<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> Your assignment is finally graded and you receive a lower grade than you expected. You feel disappointed in yourself for achieving a lower grade than usual. However, your disappointment starts to disappear when you think about how important the class is to you.

After all, if you were to take a minute to think of the last time you felt disappointed, you would probably be able to think of an event that occurred in the last month. Because disappointment is so unpleasant, researchers have found different ways to manage disappointment. The main three strategies to manage disappointment are lowering expectations, living up to expectations, and avoiding risk-taking (van Dijk et al., 2003; Zeleenberg et al., 1998a, 2000). But should disappointment be managed? === Lowering expectations === When an unfavourable outcome occurs, so does disappointment. One way to combat disappointment is to lower expectations (van Dijk et al., 2003). In general, people tend to lower their expectations when feedback or the outcome is anticipated in the near future. For example, as a patient gets closer to their surgery, their expectations of a positive outcome could reduce until the patient no longer wants surgery (van Dijk et al., 2003). de Meza and Dawson (2021) have found that people with mistaken expectations or unrealistic expectations (i.e., unrealistic optimism) experience lower levels of [[wikipedia:Well-being|well-being]]. In the long-run, realists (people who have a realistic world view) have significantly higher wellbeing than both [[wikipedia:Pessimism|pessimists]] and [[wikipedia:Optimism|optimists]] (de Meza & Dawson, 2021). Overall, lowering expectations leads to a lower chance of experiencing disappointment, however, it is important to keep in mind that this can lower your overall wellbeing if you gain a pessimistic outlook (de Meza & Dawson, 2021; van Dijk et al., 2003). === Living up to expectations === Disappointment, like many other emotions, can be anticipated. If disappointment is anticipated, people attempt to avoid it by living up to expectations (Zeleenberg et al., 2000). In this instance, disappointment is a motivator, either to decrease the likelihood of disappointment, or to increase the likelihood of a desired outcome (Zeleenberg et al., 2000). To live up to expectations, the amount of effort that an individual puts in must be able to increase the likelihood of a good outcome. Therefore, this method is only useful when an individual's effort is able to decrease the probability of disappointment and is only appropriate when effort or something controlled by the individual can lead to obtaining the desired outcome (van Dijk et al., 2003). For example, extra study and preparation can result in a better chance at passing a test which would decrease disappointment, but extra time studying a dice will not result in a better chance at predicting which number it will land on. === Avoid risk-taking === A more proactive approach to managing disappointment is avoiding it. Choosing safe alternatives that lead to known outcomes do not risk disappointment (Zeleenberg et al., 1998a, b, 2000). This approach could be called [[wikipedia:Risk_aversion|risk aversion]] (Zeleenberg et al., 1998b, 2000). Below is an example of how risk-taking can be avoided, however, disappointment is not always avoidable. This begs the question, should disappointment be managed or avoided? {{Robelbox|theme=6|title= Case study}}<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> You are picking ice cream at a new restaurant and you have three options, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. You like all three options, however, you find that some chocolate ice creams are disgusting, and you only like specific strawberry ice creams. Vanilla is not your favourite flavour but you find it edible even if you do not completely like it. You pick the vanilla ice cream. </div> {{Robelbox-close}} === Should disappointment be managed? === Disappointment helps us improve our circumstances, improve ourselves, and alerts us to our own expectations and from this we readjust our expectations or adapt to avoid similar disappointing experiences in the future. For example, if someone continually disappoints us we then decide to distance ourselves from that person, or if we are disappointed in the feedback we receive we then work to achieve an acceptable standard, and if we travel with a specific company and their service is disappointing the next time we travel we will most likely try a different company. If disappointment is interpreted as a message that needs to be heard and acted upon, then disappointment occurs less and is perceived as less detrimental (Grainger, 1991). {{RoundBoxTop|theme=5}} '''Questions to consider:''' * What do you think about disappointment? * Is disappointment good or bad? Why? {{RoundBoxBottom}} ==Conclusion== Disappointment is a cognitively complex emotion that occurs when your expectations are not met (Zeleenberg et al., 1998a). Whether you experience ORD or PRD, the insula, VMPFC, OFC, and DMPFC work together to choose the most beneficial choice, determine how likely the beneficial option is, and signal when adverse outcomes occur (Craig, 2009; Kalat, 2019; Taren et al., 2011). Sometimes disappointment is unexpected, however, when it is anticipated, techniques such as lowering expectations, living up to expectations, and avoiding risk-taking are effective in reducing disappointment (van Dijk et al., 2003; Zeleenberg et al., 1998a, 2000). Although disappointment is a negative emotion, it helps us to adapt, avoid negative outcomes, and improve ourselves (Grainger, 1991). Overall, successfully managing expectations is a difficult task, but when done well, reduces disappointment. == See also == * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Anger|Anger]] (Book chapter, 2011) * [[wikipedia:Disappointment|Disappointment]] (Wikipedia) * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Regret|Regret]] (Book chapter, 2016) * [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Resentment|Resentment]] (Book chapter, 2022) ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Bell, D.

GenAI tools can aid but should not replace independent reading and thinking about primary sources. Acknowledge genAI use in [[Wikiversity:FAQ/Editing/Edit summary|Wikiversity edit summaries]]. Follow the principle that "''more acknowledgment is better than less''". Academia is based on transparency. However, acknowledgement is not required for low-level tasks such as improving spelling and grammar. You are responsible for content you submit. Be aware of limitations of genAI tools such as inaccuracies, biases, and incomplete content. Fact-check all claims and only cite peer-reviewed citations which you consulted. The best results are obtained from genAI tools through carefully crafted prompting based of primary sources. If you are unsure, post to [[Motivation and emotion/About/Discussion|discussions]], so we can all learn together. ==Detailed guidelines== ;Use ethically, with caution Learning to use genAI tools (e.g., [[w:ChatGPT|ChatGPT]], [[w:Claude (language model)|Claude]], [[w:Gemini (chatbot)|Gemini]]. and [[w:Microsoft Copilot|Microsoft Copilot]]) responsibly and ethically is an emerging skill. GenAI tools can be used to enhance academic work, but should be used judiciously and as a supplementary tool, rather than as a replacement for independent thinking and academic inquiry. ;How to acknowledge [[File:Wikipedia Edit Summary dialog in VisualEditor.png|thumb|450px|'''Figure 2'''. If contributing genAI content, include the tool and prompt details in the edit summary, with a link to the conversation]] [[File:Edit summary for genAI content.png|thumb|450px|'''Figure 3'''. Example page history which demonstrates best practice edit summaries for contributing and revising genAI content]] GenAI tools may be used to assist in preparation of the major project ([[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] and [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter|book chapter]]). Use of such tools must be clearly acknowledged in [[Wikiversity:FAQ/Editing/Edit summary|Wikiversity edit summaries]] (e.g., see Figure 2), otherwise it is a violation of academic integrity. Best practice is to include a publicly accessible link to the chatbot conversation (e.g., [https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7925741-chatgpt-shared-links-faq ChatGPT shared links FAQ]). If a link can't be shared, then provide details about the tool and prompt in [[Wikiversity:FAQ/Editing/Edit summary|edit summary]], (e.g., "ChatGPT May 24 Version. Prompt detail or summary") (see Figure 3). The chatbot conversation should ''not'' be included as a citation and listed in the references because it is not a reliable, primary, peer-reviewed source. These practices help to ensure that the use of genAI is clear. Transparency is key to good practice in academia. If in doubt, err on the side of too much acknowledgement rather than not enough. However, there is no need to acknowledge genAI use for low-level tasks such as fixing grammar and spelling. ;Limitations Be aware of the limitations of genAI tools. Content they generate may be inaccurate, biased, incomplete, or otherwise problematic. Minimal effort prompts yield low quality results. Refine prompts to get better outcomes. You are entirely responsible for the accuracy and quality of any content you submit. ;Fact-check and cite Always fact check. Regardless of whether genAI has been used, all claims need to be supported by verified peer-reviewed citations which you have consulted. Low-energy or unreflective reuse of text generated by genAI large language models without further investigation and reviewing of primary, peer-reviewed academic literature is likely to lead to a poor quality result. GenAI tools work best for topics which you already understand. Guide and craft genAI responses based on your reading of peer-reviewed theory and research. ;Going forth Despite these warnings, you are encouraged to explore use of genAI tools to help develop higher quality work. Recommended uses of genAI tools include: * brainstorming * explaining key concepts * developing a structure * synthesising complex ideas * rephrasing to improve [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Readability|analysing readability]] and the quality of written expression * checking spelling and grammar * image generation (e.g., see Figure 1) * scenario generation * critical feedback and suggestions for improvement If you are unsure about how to use genAI effectively or how to acknowledge its use appropriately, create or contribute to a conversation by posting to [[Motivation and emotion/About/Discussion|discussions]], so we can all learn together. ==Examples== * [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2025/Affiliation_motivation_across_cultures&action=history Affiliation and motivation] (Book chapter, 2025) ==Learn about genAI== * [https://canberra.libguides.com/genai GenAI for students] (University of Canberra Library) * [https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/01/what-is-ai-how-does-ai-work/ WTF is AI?] provides a useful introduction and non-technical overview about how genAI works, what it is capable of, limitations, and issues ==See also== * [[b:Wikibooks:Artificial Intelligence|Wikibooks:Artificial Intelligence]] (policy) * [[w:Wikipedia:Large language models|Wikipedia:Large language models]] (information page) * [[Wikiversity:Artificial intelligence|Wikiversity:Artificial intelligence]] (policy) [[Category:Motivation and emotion/Assessment]] [[Category:Generative artificial intelligence]] </noinclude> j2jzf1vf8pehhpokcejztgy2iyl9s54 File:Impact of xenogenic mesenchymal stem cells secretome on a humoral component of the immune system.pdf 6 298078 2807964 2624651 2026-05-08T20:03:11Z OhanaUnited 18921 OhanaUnited uploaded a new version of [[File:Impact of xenogenic mesenchymal stem cells secretome on a humoral component of the immune system.pdf]] 2624651 wikitext text/x-wiki == Summary == {{Information |Description= English: Wikijournal of Medicine/Impact of xenogenic mesenchymal stem cells secretome on a humoral component of the immune system |Source= 10.15347/WJM/2023.004 |Date= 31/07/2023 |Author= Vitalii Moskalov, Olena Koshova, Sabina Ali, Nataliia Filimonova, Irina Tishchenko  |Permission= This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International }} == Licensing == {{cc-by-4.0}} [[Category:Immune system]] [[Category:WikiJournal]] frxxqaz1prczmeq8jxxpfmmdioodpsa Bully Metric Timestamps 0 305659 2807931 2807343 2026-05-08T16:44:56Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807931 wikitext text/x-wiki {| class=table style="width:100%;" |- | {{Original research}} | [https://physwiki.eeyabo.net/index.php/Main_Page <small>Development <br/>Area</small>] |} [[Bully_Metric|Bully Metric Main Page]]<br /> [[Bully_Metric_Timestamps|Bully Metric Timestamps Main Page]]<br /> [https://unitfreak.github.io/Bully-Row-Timestamps/Java_Bully.html Current Bully Timestamp (GitHub)]<br /> [https://unitfreak.github.io/Bully-Row-Timestamps/Earth_Gravity_Calculator.html Earth Gravity Calculator (GitHub)]<br /> == Why do we need Bully timestamps? == All the timestamps in '''Figure 1''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments. {| class="wikitable" style="margin-right: 0; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;" |+ Figure 1: UTC Time Zones vs. Bully Timestamps. |- !

Bully Timestamp |- || [[File:WorldMap-Blank-Noborders.svg|thumb|8209 2800 0000 (+ 0.000 sec)]] |} ==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ==== The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 1''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time. For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation. ==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ==== The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 1''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time. Click on the below links for a comparison of current time in six time standards (local, UTC, GPS, Loran, and TAI), all displayed using traditional Gregorian format: [http://www.leapsecond.com/m/gps.htm LeapSecond.com] [https://www.ipses.com/eng/in-depth-analysis/standard-of-time-definition ipses.com] [http://www.csgnetwork.com/multitimedisp.html csgnetwork.com] == Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time == Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 2''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted to track UT1. In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 2''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures. [[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 2: Modern Time Keeping]] The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds. The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 2''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret. [[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Examples of contextualized vs decontextualized time]] == The Bully Timestamp System == The Bully Timestamp System is an original research project designed to: # '''Augment''' existing timekeeping by providing an option that does not require "leap" seconds, "leap" years, or time zones. # '''Standardize''' a fundamentally binary temporal structure that is natively compatible with computer architecture. # '''Establish''' a universal scale—incorporating [[Bully_Metric_Foundations|Great Weeks]], Great Years, and Galactic Years—capable of uniquely identifying any moment from the Big Bang into the far future. # '''Promote''' intuitive understanding and education through a built-in [[Bully Mnemonic|mnemonic device]]. The '''Bully Timestamp System''' provides a streamlined method for expressing decontextualized time by precisely measuring elapsed intervals via atomic clocks. A unique, 12-digit hexadecimal Bully timestamp is realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} occurred simultaneously with 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998. Unlike traditional standards, Bully timestamps are entirely independent of planetary motion, removing the need for "leaps" or regional offsets. By discarding traditional unit names—such as "year," "month," or "hour"—the system eliminates any possible confusion with contextualized solar time. While it utilizes SI seconds as its fundamental building block, it does so strictly as a unit of duration rather than a fraction of an Earth day. This ensures the Bully system remains a consistent, unambiguous, and mathematically "clean" alternative to historical timekeeping. == Time span covered by Bully timestamps == With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a massive address space for time. Given that a new timestamp is realized every 3,055 SI seconds, the total capacity of the system is: :<math>16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ seconds} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion Julian years}</math> Because the universe is estimated to be approximately 13.8 billion years old, the Bully Timestamp System provides enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. == The Foundations of Bully Metric == The Bully Timestamp System is derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the larger [[Bully_Metric_Foundations|Great Weeks and Great Years]]. The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system. * [[Bully_Metric_Foundations|The Foundations of Bully Metric]] * [[Bully_Metric_Astronomical_Coordinates|Bully Metric Coordinate System]] == The Metonic Cycle and Bully Timestamps == The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. This historical cycle has a remarkably simple relationship with the Bully Timestamp System: the Metonic cycle completes in almost exactly the time it takes for the last four hexadecimal digits of a Bully timestamp to cycle three times. In the Bully system, the last four digits represent an interval of <math>16^{4}</math> units. Since each unit is 3,055 seconds, one full cycle of the last four digits equals: :<math>65,536 \times 3,055 \text{ seconds} \approx 6.34 \text{ Julian years}</math> Three such cycles equal approximately '''19.03 Julian years''', aligning closely with the '''19.00 solar years''' of the traditional Metonic cycle. This relationship allows the Bully system to track complex lunar-solar patterns using simple hexadecimal increments. === Metonic Alignment Example === The following table demonstrates the Metonic relationship. Every 19 years, the December Equinox and a New Moon occur at nearly the same position within the Bully hexadecimal cycle (the last four digits). {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:100%; max-width:800px; border: 1px solid #a2a9b1; border-collapse: collapse;" |+ style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px;" | Table 1: Metonic Alignment (19-Year Intervals) |- style="background-color: #eaecf0;{{Text default color}}; font-weight: bold;" ! style="padding: 10px;" | Year ! style="padding: 10px;" | Bully Timestamp <br/> December Equinox (New Moon) ! style="padding: 10px;" | Delta |- | style="font-weight: bold; background-color: #f8f9fa;{{Text default color}};" | 1995 | {{mono|8209 27FF 9B3A (9B33)}} | style="color: #d33; font-weight: bold;" | −7 |- | style="font-weight: bold; background-color: #ffffff;{{Text default color}};" | 2014 | {{mono|8209 2802 99E1 (99E4)}} | style="color: #00af89; font-weight: bold;" | +3 |- | style="font-weight: bold; background-color: #f8f9fa;{{Text default color}};" | 2033 | {{mono|8209 2805 9888 (988E)}} | style="color: #00af89; font-weight: bold;" | +6 |} As shown, despite a 38-year span, the "drift" between the solar equinox and the lunar phase is only a few Bully units. This precision demonstrates how the system’s 12-digit structure naturally captures ancient astronomical cycles. * [[Bully_Metric_Metonic_cycle|The Metonic Cycle in Bully Metric]] == The Bully Mnemonic == <math display="block"> {1 \, Sidereal \, Year} = {31,558,150 \, Seconds} </math> <math display="block"> {1 \, Tropical \, Year} = {31,556,926 \, Seconds} </math> <math display="block"> 1 \, Great \, Year \approx 25,824 \, Sidereal \, Years \approx 25,825 \, Tropical \, Years </math> <math display="block">{1 \, Galactic \, Year} \approx 8264 \, Great \, Year \approx 213,417,800 \, Tropical \, Years </math> The '''Bully Mnemonic''' is a technique for remembering the exact number of seconds that occur in Earth's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_year sidereal year] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year tropical year], a good approximation of the Earth's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Year Great Year], and a rough approximation of the Solar System's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year galactic year].

[[Bully Mnemonic |The Bully Mnemonic]] [[Bully Mnemonic Extension |The Bully Mnemonic Extension]] = Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps = Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired on Earth in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. == Realized Bully Time == [[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Realized Bully Timestamps]] == Estimated Bully Time == == Future Bully Time == [[Bully_Metric_CMB_Stabilized_Timestamps| CMB Stabilized Bully Timestamps]] c0qpyehczdqr03kfbzsoc8j9cz3rvlx Motivation and emotion/Book/2025/Stockholm syndrome emotion 0 306855 2808001 2806652 2026-05-09T10:33:14Z Jtneill 10242 Replaced Figure 1 with a basement image that better fits the scenario 2808001 wikitext text/x-wiki {{title|Stockholm syndrome and emotion:<br>What are the emotional aspects of Stockholm syndrome?}} __TOC__ ==Overview == {{RoundBoxTop|theme=1}} [[File:EA Poe basement Philly.JPG|thumb|240px|'''Figure 1'''. How would you feel towards a captor?]] ; Imagine this ... You have been kidnapped (see Figure 1). You feel lost and afraid for your life. You are thrown down the stairs to the basement of a horrible man's house. As you awake in an unfamiliar environment, day after day, you feel suffocated by the man's presence. Time feels as though it is standing still, and your movements feel automatic and out-of-body. As the days pass, you grow increasingly hungry, humiliated, and isolated from the real world. The man strips you of your regular thought patterns and defense mechanisms, as he manipulates you through love and hate. You don't feel like yourself anymore, and you don't recognise your own reflection. As you begin to further dissociate, you can't remember how you got into this position, nor can you recognize {{ic|Use Australian spelling}} the evil-ness of the man. You begin to feel emotionally attached to this figure, as he seems to be the only one who appreciates you at all. Finally, as the day comes for you to escape, you don't feel as though you need to anymore. You have developed a relationship with the man you can't bear to break. This scenario is similar to what is felt by some kidnapping victims. Due to the psychological principles of instinct theory, attachment theory and the common emotional timeline, Stockholm syndrome has occurred to you. A response so deeply rooted in our instincts and genetics, you are just one of many that have survived. {{RoundBoxBottom}} Human [[motivation]] and [[emotion]] has been studied in many different ways over time to better understand {{missing}} way we act, think and feel (Schater, 2009). Having a better understanding of the driving forces behind your own behaviours, and the behaviours of others leads to many positive outcomes, including improved [[wikipedia:Emotional_self-regulation|emotional regulation]], better [[wikipedia:Self-awareness|self-awareness]], and stronger [[wikipedia:Relationship|relationships]] with others (Schater, 2009). [[Instinct]] theory argues that motivation for all behaviour stems from humans having an innate drive to survive (Plutchik, 2001). It argues that all behaviours occur to satisfy fundamental survival needs such as hunger, thirst, and rest (Plutchik, 2001). Emotion is an adaptive response which has evolved to help humans respond quickly to environmental challenges and changes (Plutchik, 2001). Emotion guides our behaviour and keeps us out of dangerous situations (Plutchnik{{sp}}, 2001). For example, [[wikipedia:Fear|fear]] is often viewed as a negative emotion, of which {{g}} is unproductive and only holds individuals back from success and self-actualisation (Plutchik, 2001). However, fear is a crucial emotion which triggers a person's instinctual [[wikipedia:Fight-or-flight_response|fight or flight response]], often saving them from potential harm (Plutchik 2001). A humans {{g}} need to belong is often underestimated and overlooked as one of the major survival instincts which drives behavior (Baumeister, 1995). The need to belong is a survival instinct deeply rooted in human evolution, as feeling accepted and supported by others increases an individuals{{g}} chances of survival (Baumeister, 1995). The human brain often considers social rejection and isolation as equally as threatening as starvation or thirst, and understanding this is crucial to understanding the motives behind your own behaviors (Baumeister, 1995). [[Kidnapping]] and [[wikipedia:Hostage|hostage-taking]] involves the unlawful detention of a person, and victims of kidnapping/hostage taking experience heightened survival instincts (Alexander, 2009). This chapter explains the psychological science behind [[wikipedia:Stockholm_syndrome|Stockholm Syndrome]] and emotion. {{RoundBoxTop|theme=1}} '''Focus questions''' *How do emotional theories and concepts explain Stockholm syndrome? *What is the common emotional timeline experienced by someone enduring Stockholm syndrome? *What are some real-world applications of Stockholm syndrome research? *Are there any contemporary approaches to the topic which critique or challenge the points raised? {{RoundBoxBottom}} == Stockholm syndrome and emotion == Stockholm syndrome is a complex psychological response to being kidnapped or held captive (Harnischmacher, 1987). It involves the victim developing positive feelings like [[wikipedia:Empathy|empathy]] and [[wikipedia:Loyalty|loyalty]] toward their captor (Harnischmacher, 1987). It is most common in cases of hostage-taking, however, has also been observed in extreme cases of domestic violence (Ahmad et al., 2018). Ahmad et al. (2018) addressed the fact that Stockholm syndrome and partner violence is extremely under-investigated by conducting a meta-analysis. They aimed to determine the role of Stockholm syndrome between intimate partner violence and psychological distress (Ahmad et al., 2018). Intimate partner violence resulted in victims rationalizing abuse due to distorted cognitions, a trait of Stockholm syndrome (Ahmad et al., 2018). This research shows that Stockholm syndrome can occur to victims of high control in forms other than captor and captee (Ahmad et al., 2018). Studying and understanding the emotional aspects of Stockholm syndrome is crucial, as it explains to 'everyday' individuals how trauma and survival instincts can distort human relationships (Harnischmacher, 1987). === Origins === In the year 1973 a dramatic four-day [[wikipedia:Bank_robbery|bank robbery]] took place in Stockholm, [[wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]], and there were four hostages taken (Logan, 2018). After five days captive, the victims presented as being supportive of their captors, and as though they were in alliance after the ordeal (Logan, 2018). After this event, Nils Bejerot coined the term "Stockholm syndrome", and defined it as the psychological tendency for a hostage to identify with their captor (Logan, 2018). === Instinct theory === Instinct theory is a concept which argues all behaviour occurs as a result of a humans{{g}} innate drive to survive (Bandhu et al., 2024). According to instinct theory, humans are born with instincts which automatically assist in ensuring our survival (Bandhu et al., 2024). Common human instincts are seeking food when hungry, the fight or flight response in danger, and a tendency to seek social belonging (Bandhu et al., 2024). Instinct theory often assists in explaining the motives behind bizarre and surprising behaviors across species (Harlow et al., 1965). [[wikipedia:Harry_Harlow|Harry Harlow's]] (1965) monkey experiment is a classic example which proves how all species are born with an innate need to belong and feel cared for (Harlow et al., 1965). In this example, monkeys were given a choice between two surrogate 'mothers', one made of wire which provided milk, and one made of soft cloth, which was comforting but provided no milk (Harlow et al., 1965). When Harlow observed that {{missing}} majority of the monkey's preferred the soft clothed mother, over the feeding mother, {{g}} it strengthened the argument that psychological needs are equally as important to survival than physiological needs (Harlow et al., 1965). Survival instincts are significantly heightened in events which are considered disaster events (Alexander, 2018). Alexander (2018) explains that a kidnapping or hostage-taking scenarios can be considered as a 'disaster' event, and are far more complex to navigate as humans, then minor inconveniences or problems. He exclaims "Disasters have the potential to overwhelm the normal coping methods of individuals" (Alexander, 2018, p.12). Instinct theory and disaster events explain the motives behind the emotions present for someone who is experiencing Stockholm syndrome, or has experienced it in the past. === Attachment theory === [[File:Scared Child at Nighttime.jpg |thumb|Figure 2. Facial expression of a girl experiencing fear.]] [[wikipedia:Attachment_theory|Attachment theory]] explains how humans form strong emotional bonds with their caregivers in the early years of development (Granqvist, 2021). The theory argues that the strength of the relationship a child has with its primary caregiver plays a crucial role in the child's ability to form future relationships (Granqvist, 2021). Bowlby and Ainsworth (1969) first researched attachment styles, and the four constructs of secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganised are still accepted as accurate today{{f}}. Attachment theory plays a significant role to the emotional development of Stockholm syndrome, as similar to instinct theory, {{g}} it explains why humans get attached to their captor in hostage situations (Granqvist, 2021). Being held in a hostage situation evokes a similar emotional response to what is experience through early childhood, the sensitive period where attachment tendencies develop (Teodora, 2025). When in a state of immense fear and vulnerability, a person's primary instinct is to seek safety by attaching themselves to the closest individual to them. In the case of kidnapping or hostage-taking, this often equals the kidnapper themselves (Teodora, 2025). Emotion plays a central role in attachment theory, as feelings of fear (see Figure 2), and dependency can lead the brain to associate the kidnapper with safety and protection, despite the abuse and trauma which they portray (Teodora, 2025). Instinct theory and attachment theory are two explanations of the complex emotional processes which occur when being held captive. === Environmental conditions === There are specific environmental conditions which foster the emotions which cause Stockholm syndrome (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Three which are specifically prominent are malnutrition, physical discomfort, and humiliation (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Malnutrition and constant hunger places the bodies{{g}} [[wikipedia:Nervous_system|nervous system]] under significant stress, as it elicits survival instincts (Alexander & Klein, 2009). This then leads to distorted cognitive processing and the individual turning to other behaviors to ensure their survival (Teodora, 2025). Physical discomfort fosters Stockholm syndrome, as it signals danger to the body, and elicits the fight or flight response (Alexander & Klein, 2009). On top of this, it causes a significant lack of rest (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Rest is what the body needs to survive, therefore a lack of rest places the bodies{{g}} nervous system into a hyperactive state which distorts cognitive processing (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Finally, feeling the emotion of humiliation causes the brain to consider it as a psychological attack on the dignity of the 'self' (Namnyak, 2008). Over a prolonged period of time, humiliation strips a person of their sense of self, instills shame and diminishes confidence, all factors which cause one's mental defenses to be weakened (Namnyak, 2008). Humiliation caused by the captor, leads to the captee viewing them as the only figure of which {{g}} to seek social validation (Namnyak, 2008). This process is what then leads to the development of Stockholm syndrome (Namnyak, 2008). == Emotional concepts timeline == Stockholm syndrome occurs due to a complex interaction between emotions, instincts, and the victims{{g}} environment. After scoping the literature on Stockholm syndrome, it was found there is a common timeline of emotions which are experienced by victims. Therefore, it is widely accepted that the concepts described in Table 1, are essential to the development of Stockholm syndrome.{{f}} '''Table 1.''' ''Key emotional concepts which researchers consider essential to the development of Stockholm syndrome.'' {| class="wikitable" !Emotional concept |'''Definition / example''' |- |Frozen fright |Frozen fright occurs due to an intense fear response, described as a "paralysis of the normal emotional reactivity of the body" (Alexander & Klein, 2009, p.18). This emotional experience is most likely to occur if the kidnapping process was extremely traumatic (Alexander & Klein, 2009). The bodies response to the trauma is delayed, as the subconscious mind is trying to keep the body and conscious mind safe. (Alexander & Klein, 2009) |- |Denial |[[wikipedia:Denial|Denial]] also occurs due to intense fear and anger (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Victims often subconsciously deny that the kidnapping event even occurred, as a coping mechanism for the abuse and trauma (Alexander & Klein, 2009). |- |Disassociation |[[wikipedia:Dissociation|Disassociation]] is another coping mechanism of extreme abuse and trauma, as it involves the victim completely and subconsciously disassociating from their own body (Shim et al., 2024). When threats become too intense for the bodies automatic coping mechanisms, the next step is for the mind to disassociate from its own sense of self (Shim et al., 2024). |- |Psychological infantilism |Psychological infantilism is a regressed behavior which involves the victim subconsciously returning to a child-like state, where they are excessively clingy and dependent to their captor (Alexander & Klein, 2009). As another way of coping with extreme stress, this emotional state forces the victim to become completely complient to the captor, similar to a parent-child relationship (Alexander & Klein, 2009). |- |Emotional bond |An [[wikipedia:Human_bonding|emotional bond]] between captor and captee is formed as a result of the above emotional experiences felt by the victim (Logan, 2018). However, the bond is formed as a result of trauma (Logan, 2018). Trauma bonding occurs due to the complex cycle of abuse and fear, paired with dependency and intermittent kindness (Logan, 2018). |} {{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}} ;Quiz <quiz display="simple"> {Malnutrition, humiliation, and physical discomfort are all environmental factors which foster the development of Stockholm syndrome: |type="()"} + True - False {Instinct theory argues that all humans have an innate drive to survive and that all behavior is observed to reflect this drive: |type="()"} - True + False </quiz> {{RoundBoxBottom}} == Applications == Everyday individuals can apply the principles related to Stockholm syndrome and emotion to their own motivational and emotional lives, even if they have never experienced kidnapping or hostage taking first-hand. Instinct theory is the first psychological concept which can be applied, because understanding and acknowledging the motives behind one's emotions in stressful situations, they are better able to cognitively process their surroundings (Bandhu et al., 2024). On top of this, instinct theory highlights how it is crucial to trust your instincts, as doing this will keep you from danger (Bandhu et al., 2024). Understanding attachment theory is also crucial, as it explains the impact of early relationships in your life, on your ability to form relationships in the future (Fearon & Roisman, 2017). As the theory poses several attachment styles, this provides explanations as to how and why you manage your emotions as you do (Fearon & Roisman, 2017). === Learned helplessness === [[wikipedia:Learned_helplessness|Learned helplessness]] is a psychological state in which the individual feels as though they have no control over the situation they are in, or what happens to them (Hammock et al., 2012). It is a common result for victims who withstand extended periods of captivity (Hammock et al, 2012). Learned helplessness is a practical application {{awkward}} to the theories of Stockholm syndrome, as it is an alternate reaction to being held captive, with no real positive outcomes (Hammock et al., 2012). It is considered a survival mechanism, as accepting and surrendering to one's circumstances decreases the bodies{{g}} response to the threat, and the fight or flight response is weakened (Hammock et al., 2012). Learned helplessness is not only observed in hostage taking situations, but also in the workplace, toxic romantic relationships, and educational settings (Hammock et al., 2012). Understanding the behavioral traits of someone experiencing learned helplessness in the real-world is crucial as you can step-in and help their situation (Hammock et al., 2012). === The adult brain vs the child's brain === Research into the neuropsychological mechanisms of Stockholm syndrome and emotion, {{g}} has led to a better understanding of the differences between how the adult brain responds to stress versus the child's brain. Due to ethical concerns when children are involved, follow-up studies on specific cases are limited (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Therefore, the double case study analysis below compares and contrasts two examples of more high-profile Stockholm syndrome cases: [[wikipedia:Natascha_Kampusch|Natascha Kampusch]] and [[wikipedia:Brian_Keenan_(writer)|Brian Keenan]]. {{Robelbox|width=30|theme={{{theme|4}}}|title=Double case study analysis}} <div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> [[File:Driveway_leading_to_Gedgrave_Hall_-_geograph.org.uk_-_229302.jpg|thumb|'''Figure 3'''. Driveway leading to a house.]] "At that precise moment a young, pale, frightened women, her skin ghostly white after years of being kept away from natural light, her eyes squinting and watery from the sunshine that she was so unnused to, made a run from the driveway (see Figure 3) of No.60 Heinestrasse." (Hall and Leidig, 2006, foreword) Natascha Kampusch was ten years old when she was kidnapped on her way to school. She was held captive in the cellar of "a predator of the sort that hollywood{{sp}} scriptwriters and imaginative novelists invent to represent evil incarnate" (Hall and Leidig, 2006, forword). After 8 years, she escaped. She denies the development of Stockholm syndrome, however many of her symptoms reveal that aspects of it did develop (Hall and Leidig, 2006). Natascha Kampusch's story highlights the complex ways in which a child's brain responds to trauma (Hall and Leidig, 2006). As she adapted to her new environment extremely quickly, this shows that neuroplasticity, and adaption is strongest in childhood (Hall and Leidig, 2006). Adults are more likely to resist as their neural pathways and preferences are already formed (Hall and Leidig, 2006). Brian Keenan was abducted and held at gunpoint by Islamic militants (Keenan, 1990). Over the next 1,574 days, Keenan was "stripped of every human freedom, every choice, every element of identity" (Keenan, 1990, forword). However, where Keenan's story differs from Natascha's is that he was not alone in captivity (Keenan, 1990). Keenan forged a special emotional bond with fellow hostage John Mccarthy describing him as "more than a friend. [John] was my sanity" (Keenan, 1990, forward). Keenans{{g}} strong emotional bond with fellow hostage John could be an explanation as to why neither of them developed Stockholm syndrome (Keenan, 1990). The key insight these case studies provide, {{g}} is they explain the emotional differences between a child and an adult. For a child as young as 10, their identity is still forming, therefore being held captive becomes a part of their personal development (Hall and Leidig, 2006). However, for someone in their 30's{{g}}, they already have a strong sense of self and a pre-existing identity (Keenan, 1990). Therefore, they are more resistant to the indoctrination process of being held captive (Keenan, 1990). Natascha Kampusch's story highlights how children are more likely to emotionally suppress and de-associate from the trauma (Hall and Leidig, 2006), however Brian Keenans{{g}} displays how developed brains possess greater self-awareness to process fear and anger (Keenan, 1990). </div> {{Robelbox/close}} == Critiques == Many studies argue that [[wikipedia:Post-traumatic_stress_disorder|post traumatic stress disorder]] (PTSD) is a more common response to being held-hostage, than Stockholm syndrome. For example, Favaro and colleagues (2000) investigated the effects of being kidnapped for ransom. After analysing the health status of kidnapping victims, results showed that PTSD was significantly more common than Stockholm syndrome. With this in mind, future research should aim to analyse what differentiates someone from developing PTSD instead of Stockholm syndrome Secondly, Bailey & colleagues (2023) argue that there is scarce empirical research supporting the assertion that a 'positive bond' is formed as a result to the trauma of being kidnapped. They argue that the term 'appeasement' should be used instead of Stockholm syndrome, to describe how survivors are emotionally attached to their captors (Bailey et al., 2023). They propose this in the hopes it will "provide a science-based explanation for their stories of survival" (Bailey et al., 2023, p.3) == Conclusion == Stockholm syndrome is a complex and subconscious coping strategy which is observed in victims of kidnapping and hostage-taking situations (Harnischmacher, 1987). It involves victims experiencing positive emotions toward their capture (Harnischmacher, 1987). Stockholm syndrome can be explained by instinct theory, which argues that humans have an innate drive to survive and all behavior is a reflection of this drive (Bandhu et al., 2024). It is also partially explained by attachment theory in that all humans have an innate need to belong and therefore cling to any "caregiving" figure in their environment (Granqvist, 2021). The emotional concepts of Stockholm syndrome often occur in sequence, and reflect the instincts felt by the individual (Alexander & Klein, 2009). These concepts include frozen fright, denial, disassociation, psychological infantilism, and emotional bonding. The research into Stockholm syndrome and emotion has many applications in real-world settings. Firstly, individuals are better able to cognitively process their surroundings, coping mechanisms, and understand the motives behind their relationships (Bandhu et al., 2024). Secondly, Stockholm syndrome has led to developments in the field of learned helplessness, and finally, it has explained many differences between the child's brain and the adult brain (Hammock et al., 2012). It is important to keep in mind, many researchers disagree about Stockholm syndrome as a concept, with one arguing PTSD is a more common response, and another advocating to change the term used all together (Bailey et al., 2023). Regular individuals can and should strive to understand the psychological theories rooted in Stockholm syndrome and emotion, to improve their own motivational and emotional lives. == See also == * [[wikipedia:Attachment_theory|Attachment theories]] (Wikipedia) * [[wikipedia:Traumatic_bonding|Trauma bonding]] (Wikipedia) ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Ahmad, A., Aziz, M., Anjum, G., & Mir, F.

How would you feel towards a captor?]] ; Imagine this ... You have been kidnapped (see Figure 1). You feel lost and afraid for your life. You are taken down the stairs to the basement of a man's house. Initially, your system is overwhelmed by a "fight-or-flight" response, but as days turn into weeks of isolation and you become accustomed to the unfamiliar environment, a terrifying shift occurs. Being totally dependent on your captor for basic survival needs like food and water, you experience a profound surge of gratitude when the captor provides a "small kindness"—such as a warm blanket or a brief conversation. You begin to feel emotionally attached to this figure, as he seems to be the only one who appreciates you at all. You begin to rationalise his actions, eventually identifying with his perspective to ensure your safety. Finally, as the day comes for you to escape, you don't feel as though you need to anymore. You have developed a relationship with the man you can't bear to break. This scenario is similar to what is felt by some kidnapping victims. Due to the psychological principles of instinct theory, attachment theory and the common emotional timeline, Stockholm syndrome has occurred, a response deeply rooted in our instincts and genetics. {{RoundBoxBottom}} Human [[motivation]] and [[emotion]] has been studied in many different ways over time to better understand {{missing}} way we act, think and feel (Schater, 2009). Having a better understanding of the driving forces behind your own behaviours, and the behaviours of others leads to many positive outcomes, including improved [[wikipedia:Emotional_self-regulation|emotional regulation]], better [[wikipedia:Self-awareness|self-awareness]], and stronger [[wikipedia:Relationship|relationships]] with others (Schater, 2009). [[Instinct]] theory argues that motivation for all behaviour stems from humans having an innate drive to survive (Plutchik, 2001). It argues that all behaviours occur to satisfy fundamental survival needs such as hunger, thirst, and rest (Plutchik, 2001). Emotion is an adaptive response which has evolved to help humans respond quickly to environmental challenges and changes (Plutchik, 2001). Emotion guides our behaviour and keeps us out of dangerous situations (Plutchnik{{sp}}, 2001). For example, [[wikipedia:Fear|fear]] is often viewed as a negative emotion, of which {{g}} is unproductive and only holds individuals back from success and self-actualisation (Plutchik, 2001). However, fear is a crucial emotion which triggers a person's instinctual [[wikipedia:Fight-or-flight_response|fight or flight response]], often saving them from potential harm (Plutchik 2001). A humans {{g}} need to belong is often underestimated and overlooked as one of the major survival instincts which drives behavior (Baumeister, 1995). The need to belong is a survival instinct deeply rooted in human evolution, as feeling accepted and supported by others increases an individuals{{g}} chances of survival (Baumeister, 1995). The human brain often considers social rejection and isolation as equally as threatening as starvation or thirst, and understanding this is crucial to understanding the motives behind your own behaviors (Baumeister, 1995). [[Kidnapping]] and [[wikipedia:Hostage|hostage-taking]] involves the unlawful detention of a person, and victims of kidnapping/hostage taking experience heightened survival instincts (Alexander, 2009). This chapter explains the psychological science behind [[wikipedia:Stockholm_syndrome|Stockholm Syndrome]] and emotion. {{RoundBoxTop|theme=1}} '''Focus questions''' *How do emotional theories and concepts explain Stockholm syndrome? *What is the common emotional timeline experienced by someone enduring Stockholm syndrome? *What are some real-world applications of Stockholm syndrome research? *Are there any contemporary approaches to the topic which critique or challenge the points raised? {{RoundBoxBottom}} == Stockholm syndrome and emotion == Stockholm syndrome is a complex psychological response to being kidnapped or held captive (Harnischmacher, 1987). It involves the victim developing positive feelings like [[wikipedia:Empathy|empathy]] and [[wikipedia:Loyalty|loyalty]] toward their captor (Harnischmacher, 1987). It is most common in cases of hostage-taking, however, has also been observed in extreme cases of domestic violence (Ahmad et al., 2018). Ahmad et al. (2018) addressed the fact that Stockholm syndrome and partner violence is extremely under-investigated by conducting a meta-analysis. They aimed to determine the role of Stockholm syndrome between intimate partner violence and psychological distress (Ahmad et al., 2018). Intimate partner violence resulted in victims rationalizing abuse due to distorted cognitions, a trait of Stockholm syndrome (Ahmad et al., 2018). This research shows that Stockholm syndrome can occur to victims of high control in forms other than captor and captee (Ahmad et al., 2018). Studying and understanding the emotional aspects of Stockholm syndrome is crucial, as it explains to 'everyday' individuals how trauma and survival instincts can distort human relationships (Harnischmacher, 1987). === Origins === In the year 1973 a dramatic four-day [[wikipedia:Bank_robbery|bank robbery]] took place in Stockholm, [[wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]], and there were four hostages taken (Logan, 2018). After five days captive, the victims presented as being supportive of their captors, and as though they were in alliance after the ordeal (Logan, 2018). After this event, Nils Bejerot coined the term "Stockholm syndrome", and defined it as the psychological tendency for a hostage to identify with their captor (Logan, 2018). === Instinct theory === Instinct theory is a concept which argues all behaviour occurs as a result of a humans{{g}} innate drive to survive (Bandhu et al., 2024). According to instinct theory, humans are born with instincts which automatically assist in ensuring our survival (Bandhu et al., 2024). Common human instincts are seeking food when hungry, the fight or flight response in danger, and a tendency to seek social belonging (Bandhu et al., 2024). Instinct theory often assists in explaining the motives behind bizarre and surprising behaviors across species (Harlow et al., 1965). [[wikipedia:Harry_Harlow|Harry Harlow's]] (1965) monkey experiment is a classic example which proves how all species are born with an innate need to belong and feel cared for (Harlow et al., 1965). In this example, monkeys were given a choice between two surrogate 'mothers', one made of wire which provided milk, and one made of soft cloth, which was comforting but provided no milk (Harlow et al., 1965). When Harlow observed that {{missing}} majority of the monkey's preferred the soft clothed mother, over the feeding mother, {{g}} it strengthened the argument that psychological needs are equally as important to survival than physiological needs (Harlow et al., 1965). Survival instincts are significantly heightened in events which are considered disaster events (Alexander, 2018). Alexander (2018) explains that a kidnapping or hostage-taking scenarios can be considered as a 'disaster' event, and are far more complex to navigate as humans, then minor inconveniences or problems. He exclaims "Disasters have the potential to overwhelm the normal coping methods of individuals" (Alexander, 2018, p.12). Instinct theory and disaster events explain the motives behind the emotions present for someone who is experiencing Stockholm syndrome, or has experienced it in the past. === Attachment theory === [[File:Scared Child at Nighttime.jpg |thumb|Figure 2. Facial expression of a girl experiencing fear.]] [[wikipedia:Attachment_theory|Attachment theory]] explains how humans form strong emotional bonds with their caregivers in the early years of development (Granqvist, 2021). The theory argues that the strength of the relationship a child has with its primary caregiver plays a crucial role in the child's ability to form future relationships (Granqvist, 2021). Bowlby and Ainsworth (1969) first researched attachment styles, and the four constructs of secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganised are still accepted as accurate today{{f}}. Attachment theory plays a significant role to the emotional development of Stockholm syndrome, as similar to instinct theory, {{g}} it explains why humans get attached to their captor in hostage situations (Granqvist, 2021). Being held in a hostage situation evokes a similar emotional response to what is experience through early childhood, the sensitive period where attachment tendencies develop (Teodora, 2025). When in a state of immense fear and vulnerability, a person's primary instinct is to seek safety by attaching themselves to the closest individual to them. In the case of kidnapping or hostage-taking, this often equals the kidnapper themselves (Teodora, 2025). Emotion plays a central role in attachment theory, as feelings of fear (see Figure 2), and dependency can lead the brain to associate the kidnapper with safety and protection, despite the abuse and trauma which they portray (Teodora, 2025). Instinct theory and attachment theory are two explanations of the complex emotional processes which occur when being held captive. === Environmental conditions === There are specific environmental conditions which foster the emotions which cause Stockholm syndrome (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Three which are specifically prominent are malnutrition, physical discomfort, and humiliation (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Malnutrition and constant hunger places the bodies{{g}} [[wikipedia:Nervous_system|nervous system]] under significant stress, as it elicits survival instincts (Alexander & Klein, 2009). This then leads to distorted cognitive processing and the individual turning to other behaviors to ensure their survival (Teodora, 2025). Physical discomfort fosters Stockholm syndrome, as it signals danger to the body, and elicits the fight or flight response (Alexander & Klein, 2009). On top of this, it causes a significant lack of rest (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Rest is what the body needs to survive, therefore a lack of rest places the bodies{{g}} nervous system into a hyperactive state which distorts cognitive processing (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Finally, feeling the emotion of humiliation causes the brain to consider it as a psychological attack on the dignity of the 'self' (Namnyak, 2008). Over a prolonged period of time, humiliation strips a person of their sense of self, instills shame and diminishes confidence, all factors which cause one's mental defenses to be weakened (Namnyak, 2008). Humiliation caused by the captor, leads to the captee viewing them as the only figure of which {{g}} to seek social validation (Namnyak, 2008). This process is what then leads to the development of Stockholm syndrome (Namnyak, 2008). == Emotional concepts timeline == Stockholm syndrome occurs due to a complex interaction between emotions, instincts, and the victims{{g}} environment. After scoping the literature on Stockholm syndrome, it was found there is a common timeline of emotions which are experienced by victims. Therefore, it is widely accepted that the concepts described in Table 1, are essential to the development of Stockholm syndrome.{{f}} '''Table 1.''' ''Key emotional concepts which researchers consider essential to the development of Stockholm syndrome.'' {| class="wikitable" !Emotional concept |'''Definition / example''' |- |Frozen fright |Frozen fright occurs due to an intense fear response, described as a "paralysis of the normal emotional reactivity of the body" (Alexander & Klein, 2009, p.18). This emotional experience is most likely to occur if the kidnapping process was extremely traumatic (Alexander & Klein, 2009). The bodies response to the trauma is delayed, as the subconscious mind is trying to keep the body and conscious mind safe. (Alexander & Klein, 2009) |- |Denial |[[wikipedia:Denial|Denial]] also occurs due to intense fear and anger (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Victims often subconsciously deny that the kidnapping event even occurred, as a coping mechanism for the abuse and trauma (Alexander & Klein, 2009). |- |Disassociation |[[wikipedia:Dissociation|Disassociation]] is another coping mechanism of extreme abuse and trauma, as it involves the victim completely and subconsciously disassociating from their own body (Shim et al., 2024). When threats become too intense for the bodies automatic coping mechanisms, the next step is for the mind to disassociate from its own sense of self (Shim et al., 2024). |- |Psychological infantilism |Psychological infantilism is a regressed behavior which involves the victim subconsciously returning to a child-like state, where they are excessively clingy and dependent to their captor (Alexander & Klein, 2009). As another way of coping with extreme stress, this emotional state forces the victim to become completely complient to the captor, similar to a parent-child relationship (Alexander & Klein, 2009). |- |Emotional bond |An [[wikipedia:Human_bonding|emotional bond]] between captor and captee is formed as a result of the above emotional experiences felt by the victim (Logan, 2018). However, the bond is formed as a result of trauma (Logan, 2018). Trauma bonding occurs due to the complex cycle of abuse and fear, paired with dependency and intermittent kindness (Logan, 2018). |} {{RoundBoxTop|theme=3}} ;Quiz <quiz display="simple"> {Malnutrition, humiliation, and physical discomfort are all environmental factors which foster the development of Stockholm syndrome: |type="()"} + True - False {Instinct theory argues that all humans have an innate drive to survive and that all behavior is observed to reflect this drive: |type="()"} - True + False </quiz> {{RoundBoxBottom}} == Applications == Everyday individuals can apply the principles related to Stockholm syndrome and emotion to their own motivational and emotional lives, even if they have never experienced kidnapping or hostage taking first-hand. Instinct theory is the first psychological concept which can be applied, because understanding and acknowledging the motives behind one's emotions in stressful situations, they are better able to cognitively process their surroundings (Bandhu et al., 2024). On top of this, instinct theory highlights how it is crucial to trust your instincts, as doing this will keep you from danger (Bandhu et al., 2024). Understanding attachment theory is also crucial, as it explains the impact of early relationships in your life, on your ability to form relationships in the future (Fearon & Roisman, 2017). As the theory poses several attachment styles, this provides explanations as to how and why you manage your emotions as you do (Fearon & Roisman, 2017). === Learned helplessness === [[wikipedia:Learned_helplessness|Learned helplessness]] is a psychological state in which the individual feels as though they have no control over the situation they are in, or what happens to them (Hammock et al., 2012). It is a common result for victims who withstand extended periods of captivity (Hammock et al, 2012). Learned helplessness is a practical application {{awkward}} to the theories of Stockholm syndrome, as it is an alternate reaction to being held captive, with no real positive outcomes (Hammock et al., 2012). It is considered a survival mechanism, as accepting and surrendering to one's circumstances decreases the bodies{{g}} response to the threat, and the fight or flight response is weakened (Hammock et al., 2012). Learned helplessness is not only observed in hostage taking situations, but also in the workplace, toxic romantic relationships, and educational settings (Hammock et al., 2012). Understanding the behavioral traits of someone experiencing learned helplessness in the real-world is crucial as you can step-in and help their situation (Hammock et al., 2012). === The adult brain vs the child's brain === Research into the neuropsychological mechanisms of Stockholm syndrome and emotion, {{g}} has led to a better understanding of the differences between how the adult brain responds to stress versus the child's brain. Due to ethical concerns when children are involved, follow-up studies on specific cases are limited (Alexander & Klein, 2009). Therefore, the double case study analysis below compares and contrasts two examples of more high-profile Stockholm syndrome cases: [[wikipedia:Natascha_Kampusch|Natascha Kampusch]] and [[wikipedia:Brian_Keenan_(writer)|Brian Keenan]]. {{Robelbox|width=30|theme={{{theme|4}}}|title=Double case study analysis}} <div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> [[File:Driveway_leading_to_Gedgrave_Hall_-_geograph.org.uk_-_229302.jpg|thumb|'''Figure 3'''. Driveway leading to a house.]] "At that precise moment a young, pale, frightened women, her skin ghostly white after years of being kept away from natural light, her eyes squinting and watery from the sunshine that she was so unnused to, made a run from the driveway (see Figure 3) of No.60 Heinestrasse." (Hall and Leidig, 2006, foreword) Natascha Kampusch was ten years old when she was kidnapped on her way to school. She was held captive in the cellar of "a predator of the sort that hollywood{{sp}} scriptwriters and imaginative novelists invent to represent evil incarnate" (Hall and Leidig, 2006, forword). After 8 years, she escaped. She denies the development of Stockholm syndrome, however many of her symptoms reveal that aspects of it did develop (Hall and Leidig, 2006). Natascha Kampusch's story highlights the complex ways in which a child's brain responds to trauma (Hall and Leidig, 2006). As she adapted to her new environment extremely quickly, this shows that neuroplasticity, and adaption is strongest in childhood (Hall and Leidig, 2006). Adults are more likely to resist as their neural pathways and preferences are already formed (Hall and Leidig, 2006). Brian Keenan was abducted and held at gunpoint by Islamic militants (Keenan, 1990). Over the next 1,574 days, Keenan was "stripped of every human freedom, every choice, every element of identity" (Keenan, 1990, forword). However, where Keenan's story differs from Natascha's is that he was not alone in captivity (Keenan, 1990). Keenan forged a special emotional bond with fellow hostage John Mccarthy describing him as "more than a friend. [John] was my sanity" (Keenan, 1990, forward). Keenans{{g}} strong emotional bond with fellow hostage John could be an explanation as to why neither of them developed Stockholm syndrome (Keenan, 1990). The key insight these case studies provide, {{g}} is they explain the emotional differences between a child and an adult. For a child as young as 10, their identity is still forming, therefore being held captive becomes a part of their personal development (Hall and Leidig, 2006). However, for someone in their 30's{{g}}, they already have a strong sense of self and a pre-existing identity (Keenan, 1990). Therefore, they are more resistant to the indoctrination process of being held captive (Keenan, 1990). Natascha Kampusch's story highlights how children are more likely to emotionally suppress and de-associate from the trauma (Hall and Leidig, 2006), however Brian Keenans{{g}} displays how developed brains possess greater self-awareness to process fear and anger (Keenan, 1990). </div> {{Robelbox/close}} == Critiques == Many studies argue that [[wikipedia:Post-traumatic_stress_disorder|post traumatic stress disorder]] (PTSD) is a more common response to being held-hostage, than Stockholm syndrome. For example, Favaro and colleagues (2000) investigated the effects of being kidnapped for ransom. After analysing the health status of kidnapping victims, results showed that PTSD was significantly more common than Stockholm syndrome. With this in mind, future research should aim to analyse what differentiates someone from developing PTSD instead of Stockholm syndrome Secondly, Bailey & colleagues (2023) argue that there is scarce empirical research supporting the assertion that a 'positive bond' is formed as a result to the trauma of being kidnapped. They argue that the term 'appeasement' should be used instead of Stockholm syndrome, to describe how survivors are emotionally attached to their captors (Bailey et al., 2023). They propose this in the hopes it will "provide a science-based explanation for their stories of survival" (Bailey et al., 2023, p.3) == Conclusion == Stockholm syndrome is a complex and subconscious coping strategy which is observed in victims of kidnapping and hostage-taking situations (Harnischmacher, 1987). It involves victims experiencing positive emotions toward their capture (Harnischmacher, 1987). Stockholm syndrome can be explained by instinct theory, which argues that humans have an innate drive to survive and all behavior is a reflection of this drive (Bandhu et al., 2024). It is also partially explained by attachment theory in that all humans have an innate need to belong and therefore cling to any "caregiving" figure in their environment (Granqvist, 2021). The emotional concepts of Stockholm syndrome often occur in sequence, and reflect the instincts felt by the individual (Alexander & Klein, 2009). These concepts include frozen fright, denial, disassociation, psychological infantilism, and emotional bonding. The research into Stockholm syndrome and emotion has many applications in real-world settings. Firstly, individuals are better able to cognitively process their surroundings, coping mechanisms, and understand the motives behind their relationships (Bandhu et al., 2024). Secondly, Stockholm syndrome has led to developments in the field of learned helplessness, and finally, it has explained many differences between the child's brain and the adult brain (Hammock et al., 2012). It is important to keep in mind, many researchers disagree about Stockholm syndrome as a concept, with one arguing PTSD is a more common response, and another advocating to change the term used all together (Bailey et al., 2023). Regular individuals can and should strive to understand the psychological theories rooted in Stockholm syndrome and emotion, to improve their own motivational and emotional lives. == See also == * [[wikipedia:Attachment_theory|Attachment theories]] (Wikipedia) * [[wikipedia:Traumatic_bonding|Trauma bonding]] (Wikipedia) ==References== {{Hanging indent|1= Ahmad, A., Aziz, M., Anjum, G., & Mir, F.

An important milestone was the publication by the German physicist and physician [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_von_Helmholtz Hermann von Helmholtz] entitled "On the sensations of tone as a physiological basis for the theory of music" in 1863. After World War II, Audiology was defined as a sub-discipline of Otorhinolaryngologists. In 1949 the working group ADA („Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Audiologen“) was founded at the first conference of ENT physicians and expanded in 1973 by including Otology and Neurotology („[https://adano.hno.org Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutschsprachiger Audiologen und Neurootologen]“). The first chairman was [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Meyer_zum_Gottesberge Prof. Dr. Alf Meyer zum Gottesberge]. ADANO still exists as a working group of the German Society for Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery ([https://hno.org Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde, Kopf- und Hals-Chirurgie e.V.]). In 1979, the subgroup AG-ERA („[http://ag-era.bplaced.net/wordpress/ Arbeitsgruppe Elektrische Reaktionsaudiometrie]“, working group electric response audiometry) was founded by Prof. Dr. Günter Stange in Hannover. At annual meetings of the AG-ERA the latest developments in objective audiometry are discussed. In 1996, the German Society of Audiology ([https://dga-ev.com DGA, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Audiologie]) was founded in Münster as an independent interdisciplinary scientific association of experts who deal with hearing, hearing disorders, and their diagnosis, therapy, rehabilitation, and prevention. As a scientific society, the DGA promotes professional exchange, the further development of audiological standards, and networking among its members from medicine, natural sciences, engineering, education, psychology, and related disciplines. Today, the DGA has more than 600 society members.

Additionally, hearing diagnostics and therapy (including hearing aids and cochlear implants) are usually paid in total or partly by the statutory health insurance. However, several challenges remain. For example, the adoption rate of hearing aids is only 47% of those with self-declared hearing loss<ref>{{Cite web|url=file:///C:/Users/hoppeuh/Downloads/EuroTrak_GERMANY_2025-1.pdf|title=Euro Track Germany 2025|access-date=May, 5th 2026}}</ref> and about 5.1% of the total population. {{HTitle|Audiology Charities}}The largest foundation for hearing research is the [https://kind-hoerstiftung.de/ KIND Hörstiftung].

Due to the large number of expatriate workers, especially considering the country of origin, there may be differences in standardization of practice, particularly where protocols and guidelines relating to audiology and hearing care is affected. The Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP) regulates all healthcare professions in Qatar, however, Qatar may benefit from a local Audiological society which may help assist governmental organizations in making decisions regarding the profession. It could also assist in networking for case discussions, specialized continuous professional development, and putting a name to the face when referring across institutions. Clinician-led research appears to be lacking. This will aid in understanding potential challenges and opportunities for growth on a grassroots level. Many audiologists working in Qatar have postgraduate training (e.g. Masters), which includes have research experience. Further championing in this regard will help position the Audiology profession well in the country. Lastly, the establishment of an Audiology programme at one of the local universities will further aid in ensuring the profession continues to thrive, is backed by research, and ensures that the next generation has an opportunity to pursue Audiology as a profession. The recruitment and onboarding of audiologists from abroad can be costly to employers, thus with the establishment of a local audiology programme, this ensures that local organizations have a steady supply of healthcare professionals, which will not only be cost-effective to the local economy, but also assist exporting countries in reducing brain-drain and transfer of skills abroad. {{HTitle|Audiology Charities}}There are no specific audiological charities in Qatar, however, several charitable organizations play a vital role in supporting individuals who cannot afford audiological services or assistive devices. The four main charities include: * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_Charity Qatar Charity] * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_Red_Crescent_Society Qatar Red Crescent Society] * Qatar Society for the Rehabilitation of Special Needs * Qatar Cancer Society These organizations are typically funded through a combination of government allocations, private benefactors, and Zakat contributions. When patients face financial barriers to accessing hearing care or associated treatments, they often approach these charities for assistance. Support is frequently coordinated through hospital social workers, who facilitate applications and liaise with charitable bodies to ensure timely provision of services and devices. {{HTitle|References}} {{reflist}} {{Global Audiology Authors |name1=Jarreth N.

Due to the large number of expatriate workers, especially considering the country of origin, there may be differences in standardization of practice, particularly where protocols and guidelines relating to audiology and hearing care is affected. The Department of Healthcare Professions (DHP) regulates all healthcare professions in Qatar, however, Qatar may benefit from a local Audiological society which may help assist governmental organizations in making decisions regarding the profession. It could also assist in networking for case discussions, specialized continuous professional development, and putting a name to the face when referring across institutions. Clinician-led research appears to be lacking. This will aid in understanding potential challenges and opportunities for growth on a grassroots level. Many audiologists working in Qatar have postgraduate training (e.g. Masters), which includes have research experience. Further championing in this regard will help position the Audiology profession well in the country. Lastly, the establishment of an Audiology programme at one of the local universities will further aid in ensuring the profession continues to thrive, is backed by research, and ensures that the next generation has an opportunity to pursue Audiology as a profession. The recruitment and onboarding of audiologists from abroad can be costly to employers, thus with the establishment of a local audiology programme, this ensures that local organizations have a steady supply of healthcare professionals, which will not only be cost-effective to the local economy, but also assist exporting countries in reducing brain-drain and transfer of skills abroad. {{HTitle|Audiology Charities}}There are no specific audiological charities in Qatar, however, several charitable organizations play a vital role in supporting individuals who cannot afford audiological services or assistive devices. The four main charities include: * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_Charity Qatar Charity] * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_Red_Crescent_Society Qatar Red Crescent Society] * Qatar Society for the Rehabilitation of Special Needs * Qatar Cancer Society These organizations are typically funded through a combination of government allocations, private benefactors, and Zakat contributions. When patients face financial barriers to accessing hearing care or associated treatments, they often approach these charities for assistance. Support is frequently coordinated through hospital social workers, who facilitate applications and liaise with charitable bodies to ensure timely provision of services and devices. {{HTitle|References}} {{reflist}} {{Global Audiology Authors |name1=Jarreth N.

Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[W:16-cell|16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Notice that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, so we obtain a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, so we obtain a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a regular skew octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell has 3 such Petrie octagons, which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular 4-polytopes, including the 120-cell, are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. In this convenient unit-radius 4-coordinate system, the original planar octagon we started with had chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2(2+\sqrt{2})} \approx 2.61313,r_3=2+\sqrt{2} \approx 3.41421,r_4=2 \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 3.69552</math> none of which chords occur in a 16-cell or 120-cell except <math>r_1=\sqrt{2}</math>. In the unit-radius 120-cell, the great square edge chord <math>c_{15} = \sqrt{2}</math> occurs in 675 distinct (75 disjoint) 16-cells. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. The two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant rotation planes, because all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic isoclinic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane, and takes every vertex to its antipodal vertex 180° degrees away. All the vertices move at once, displaced 180° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. The trajectory of each vertex is a one-eighth segment of its [[W:Geodesic|geodesic]] orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix in 4-space, and also traces a great circle in one of the two completely orthogonal invariant rotation planes, as they tilt sideways into each other's plane. When the isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 180° to its antipodal position, but from the new orientation where the vertex is on the opposite side of the 16-cell departing in the opposite direction. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once, and returns to its original position. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular octagon, but the tesseract contains 2 disjoint instances and 4 distinct instances of the skew octagon. We can construct the tesseract the way we constructed the 16-cell, by skewing a planar octagon's edges so they become edges of the 4-polytope. Because the tesseract has 16 vertices we will need two planar octagons, and to start we must embedded them in 4-space as completely orthogonal planes that intersect at only one point, their common center. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), to build a unit-radius tesseract we start with our original octagon of unit-edge length, rather than the octagon of edge length <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> that we needed to build the unit-radius 16-cell. For our tesseract construction we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided the planes were completely orthogonal in 4-space and we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half of its 32 edges missing. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices are disjoint circular helixes, and those 16 circular helixes are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} l5xn2w9p8l747o796h85uzqn8flqv25 2807970 2807969 2026-05-09T02:37:57Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2807970 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[W:16-cell|16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Notice that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, so we obtain a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, so we obtain a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a regular skew octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell has 3 such Petrie octagons, which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular 4-polytopes, including the 120-cell, are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. In this convenient unit-radius 4-coordinate system, the original planar octagon we started with had chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2(2+\sqrt{2})} \approx 2.61313,r_3=2+\sqrt{2} \approx 3.41421,r_4=2 \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 3.69552</math> none of which chords occur in a 16-cell or 120-cell except <math>r_1=\sqrt{2}</math>. In the unit-radius 120-cell, the great square edge chord <math>c_{15} = \sqrt{2}</math> occurs in 675 distinct (75 disjoint) 16-cells. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. The two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant rotation planes, because all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic isoclinic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane, and takes every vertex to its antipodal vertex 180° degrees away. All the vertices move at once, displaced 180° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. The trajectory of each vertex is a one-eighth segment of its [[W:Geodesic|geodesic]] orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix in 4-space, and also traces a great circle in one of the two completely orthogonal invariant rotation planes, as they tilt sideways into each other's plane. When the isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 180° to its antipodal position, but from the new orientation where the vertex is on the opposite side of the 16-cell departing in the opposite direction. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once, and returns to its original position. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular octagon, but the tesseract contains 2 disjoint instances and 4 distinct instances of the skew octagon. We can construct the tesseract the way we constructed the 16-cell, by skewing a planar octagon's edges so they become edges of the 4-polytope. Because the tesseract has 16 vertices we will need two planar octagons, and to start we must embedded them in 4-space as completely orthogonal planes that intersect at only one point, their common center. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), to build a unit-radius tesseract we start with our original octagon of unit-edge length, rather than the octagon of edge length <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> that we needed to build the unit-radius 16-cell. For our tesseract construction we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided the planes were completely orthogonal in 4-space and we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half of its 32 edges missing. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices are disjoint circular helixes, and those 16 circular helixes are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares of invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} t2ila9x7lunu5ssxk7cok3o3ug07c1m 2807971 2807970 2026-05-09T02:52:46Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2807971 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[W:16-cell|16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Notice that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, so we obtain a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, so we obtain a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a regular skew octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell has 3 such Petrie octagons, which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular 4-polytopes, including the 120-cell, are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. In this convenient unit-radius 4-coordinate system, the original planar octagon we started with had chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2(2+\sqrt{2})} \approx 2.61313,r_3=2+\sqrt{2} \approx 3.41421,r_4=2 \sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 3.69552</math> none of which chords occur in a 16-cell or 120-cell except <math>r_1=\sqrt{2}</math>. In the unit-radius 120-cell, the great square edge chord <math>c_{15} = \sqrt{2}</math> occurs in 675 distinct (75 disjoint) 16-cells. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. The two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant rotation planes, because all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the completely orthogonal planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic isoclinic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane, and takes every vertex to its antipodal vertex 180° degrees away. All the vertices move at once, displaced 180° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. The trajectory of each vertex is a one-eighth segment of its [[W:Geodesic|geodesic]] orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix in 4-space, and also traces a great circle in one of the two completely orthogonal invariant rotation planes, as they tilt sideways into each other's plane. When the isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 180° to its antipodal position, but from the new orientation where the vertex is on the opposite side of the 16-cell departing in the opposite direction. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once, and returns to its original position. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular octagon, but the tesseract contains 2 disjoint instances and 4 distinct instances of the skew octagon. We can construct the tesseract the way we constructed the 16-cell, by skewing a planar octagon's edges so they become edges of the 4-polytope. Because the tesseract has 16 vertices we will need two planar octagons, and to start we must embedded them in 4-space as completely orthogonal planes that intersect at only one point, their common center. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), to build a unit-radius tesseract we start with our original octagon of unit-edge length, rather than the octagon of edge length <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> that we needed to build the unit-radius 16-cell. For our tesseract construction we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided the planes were completely orthogonal in 4-space and we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half of its 32 edges missing. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices are disjoint circular helixes, and those 16 circular helixes are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the complete square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in fewer chordal steps (6) than the square revolution (8). ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} s5xgj3tfiprlspaarv70s6j3flg33ij DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2 0 329221 2807954 2805943 2026-05-08T17:29:52Z ShakespeareFan00 6645 2807954 wikitext text/x-wiki {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; background:#f8fbff; {{Text default color}} border:1px solid #a9c8e8;" | style="padding:14px;" |<div style="font-size:200%; font-weight:bold; color:#1d3557;">DiffSinger: Concepts, Workflow, and Tutorials</div><div style="margin-top:6px; font-size:105%; color:#444;">A structured Wikiversity-style overview of the DiffSinger workflow, core concepts, tools, and learning resources.</div><div style="margin-top:10px;"> [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#Overview|Overview]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#Learning objectives|Learning objectives]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#Key concepts|Key concepts]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#Workflow summary|Workflow summary]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#Tutorials and resources|Tutorials and resources]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#Glossary|Glossary]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#See also|See also]] • [[DesignWriteStudio/Course/StudentPages/MatthewLiddy/5.2#References|References]] </div> |} {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; background:#fffdf5; {{Text default color}} border:1px solid #e6d28c; margin-top:1em;" | style="padding:12px;" |'''About this page''' This page summarizes DiffSinger concepts and workflows based on a PDF guide and several tutorial transcripts. It is designed as a learning page, not as official documentation for any one software repository.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> |} == Overview == '''DiffSinger''' is a singing voice synthesis workflow in which a user prepares a structured voice dataset, trains one or more models on that dataset, and exports the result for use in tools such as OpenUTAU. Across the referenced tutorials and guides, DiffSinger is presented not as a one-click voice maker, but as a pipeline built from planning, recording, audio cleanup, phoneme labelling, packaging, preprocessing, training, validation, and export.<ref>PixPrucer.

YouTube.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxt11TAflV0&t=1s Local DiffSinger training on Windows 11]. YouTube.</ref> A DiffSinger project usually begins with '''dataset planning'''. Before recording, the creator decides which languages to support, which phoneme system to use, whether the voice should sound natural or acted, whether separate vocal modes should be recorded, and whether advanced features such as autopitch preparation will be part of the workflow. In this sense, dataset creation is also a design process.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #c9d8ea; background:#f8fbff; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Quick summary'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> The core workflow described in the available material is: * planning the dataset * recording sung material * cleaning and formatting the audio * labelling phonemes * packaging the database * preprocessing or binarizing the data * training acoustic and variance models * validating outputs * exporting the finished singer for deployment<ref>PixPrucer.

YouTube.</ref> </div></div> == Learning objectives == After reading this page, a learner should be able to: * explain what a DiffSinger dataset is * describe why phoneme consistency matters * identify the main stages of the DiffSinger workflow * distinguish between recording, labelling, packaging, and training * recognize the role of acoustic and variance models * locate tutorials and tools commonly used by the community == Key concepts == <div class="mw-collapsible" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Dataset'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> The '''dataset''' is the collection of WAV files, LAB files, and related configuration or dictionary material used to train the model. The guides repeatedly stress that the model imitates what it is given, so a clean and well-structured dataset is essential. Poor recordings, inconsistent labels, or dictionary mismatches can reduce quality or break preprocessing.<ref>PixPrucer.

YouTube.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Phoneme system'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> A '''phoneme system''' is the symbolic sound inventory used to describe the sung data. The PDF guide recommends deciding on a phoneme list early and keeping it consistent, especially when supporting multiple languages. Not all phoneme systems are compatible with built-in OpenUTAU phonemizers, so planning matters.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Vocal modes'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> '''Vocal modes''' are separate expressive versions of a voice, such as soft, strong, raspy, whispery, or growly. The guide explains that creators may either let the model learn contextual vocal behavior from one corpus or separate expressions into distinct folders for more direct control.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Recording'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> The recording stage is treated as data capture rather than polished performance. The guides recommend a quiet, dry environment, careful microphone gain, and avoiding pre-autotuning. The model can later compensate for pitch issues, but added artifacts from processing can hurt the dataset.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Audio cleaning'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> The PDF recommends denoising, applying a low rolloff EQ for speech, trimming long silences, and exporting audio as '''mono 44.1kHz 16-bit WAV'''. The tutorial transcripts repeat the same format rules and warn that stereo or badly named files can cause later tools to fail.<ref>PixPrucer.

YouTube.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}};padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Labelling'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> '''Labelling''' assigns phonemes to the sung waveform. The guide describes this as the “programming” of the voice database because the placement and consistency of labels determine how the model interprets sung language. Community tools such as vLabeler and Audacity-based workflows are both described in the source material.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''[pau]'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> The label '''[pau]''' is used for phrase pauses and often includes breath intake. The guide treats it as an important structural label rather than empty silence. Long ending breaths may sometimes be marked differently, such as <code>h</code>.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Packaging'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> After labelling, the database is reorganized for training. The guide recommends removing project clutter, aligning WAV and LAB names, flattening folders as needed, zipping the finished dataset, and uploading it to Google Drive for Colab-based training.<ref>PixPrucer. ''SVS Singing Voice Database for DiffSinger - Tutorial''.</ref> </div></div><div class="mw-collapsible" style="border:1px solid #d6d6d6; background:#fcfcfc; {{Text default color}}; padding:10px; margin:1em 0;"> '''Acoustic and variance models'''<div style="margin-top:8px;"> The training tutorials describe separate '''acoustic''' and '''variance''' model stages. The acoustic model handles the main synthesis behavior, while the variance side manages supporting behavior such as pitch-related or timing-related structure depending on the workflow. The local and GUI tutorials both treat training as a staged process rather than a single run button.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxt11TAflV0&t=1s Local DiffSinger training on Windows 11].

This makes training observable and helps determine whether the model is improving.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxt11TAflV0&t=1s Local DiffSinger training on Windows 11].

''What we doing?'' Integrating OGM → suicidal ideation within a structured model (IMV + mechanisms). ==Introduction== '''[[w:Overgeneral_autobiographical_memory|Overgeneral autobiographical memory]]''' (OGM) describes a reduced ability to recall specific events in one's autobiographical memory. For example, one may remember attending a birthday party at some point in their life, but they could not uniquely recall a specific instance of attending a birthday party. OGM has been empirically associated with depression, with depressed individuals reporting higher levels of OGM than non-depressed individuals<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sumner|first=Jennifer A.|last2=Griffith|first2=James W.|last3=Mineka|first3=Susan|date=2010-07|title=Overgeneral autobiographical memory as a predictor of the course of depression: a meta-analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2878838/|journal=Behaviour Research and Therapy|volume=48|issue=7|pages=614–625|doi=10.1016/j.brat.2010.03.013|issn=1873-622X|pmc=2878838|pmid=20399418}}</ref>.

The IMV model portrays suicidal behavior as an escalating, behavioral process divided into three phases: pre-motivational phase, motivational phase, and volitional phase. The motivational phase is characterized by suicidal ideation formation, where feelings of entrapment (described as a "proximal [predictor] of suicidal ideation"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=O'Connor|first=Rory C.|last2=Kirtley|first2=Olivia J.|date=2018-09-05|title=The integrated motivational-volitional model of suicidal behaviour|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6053985/|journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.

The current literature aims to shed light on a neglected niche of suicide research: autobiographical memory. Despite the overwhelming research suggesting correlations between OGM and depression and suicidal ideation, research has not thoroughly explored OGM's exact role in a cognitive, theoretical framework of suicidal ideation (specifically within the IMV model). By conducting a narrative review and integrating research on OGM's role in suicidal ideation, this paper furthers understanding on OGM's role in suicidal ideation. ==OGM as Vulnerability== Evidence suggests that OGM is a cognitive vulnerability associated with depression and suicidal ideation, though its predictive relevance may vary depending on the population.

The IMV model portrays suicidal behavior as an escalating, behavioral process divided into three phases: pre-motivational phase, motivational phase, and volitional phase. The motivational phase is characterized by suicidal ideation formation, where feelings of entrapment (described as a "proximal [predictor] of suicidal ideation"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=O'Connor|first=Rory C.|last2=Kirtley|first2=Olivia J.|date=2018-09-05|title=The integrated motivational-volitional model of suicidal behaviour|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6053985/|journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.

The current literature aims to shed light on a neglected niche of suicide research: autobiographical memory. Despite the overwhelming research suggesting correlations between OGM and depression and suicidal ideation, research has not thoroughly explored OGM's exact role in a cognitive, theoretical framework of suicidal ideation (specifically within the IMV model). By conducting a narrative review and integrating research on OGM's role in suicidal ideation, this paper furthers understanding on OGM's role in suicidal ideation. ==OGM as Vulnerability== Evidence suggests that OGM is a cognitive vulnerability associated with depression and suicidal ideation, though its predictive relevance may vary depending on the population. A meta analysis performed by Sumner et. al (2010) found that OGM accounted for about 1-2% of the variance in depressive symptoms at follow-up<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sumner|first=Jennifer A.|last2=Griffith|first2=James W.|last3=Mineka|first3=Susan|date=2010-07|title=Overgeneral autobiographical memory as a predictor of the course of depression: a meta-analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2878838/|journal=Behaviour Research and Therapy|volume=48|issue=7|pages=614–625|doi=10.1016/j.brat.2010.03.013|issn=1873-622X|pmc=2878838|pmid=20399418}}</ref>.

However, Crane et. al (2016) conducted a longitudinal study of n≈5800 adolescents from ages 13 to 16 and found that OGM was not significantly associated with depression and did not moderate the effect of life events, suggesting OGM may not be as generalizable to community samples vs. high-risk populations<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Crane|first=Catherine|last2=Heron|first2=Jon|last3=Gunnell|first3=David|last4=Lewis|first4=Glyn|last5=Evans|first5=Jonathan|last6=Williams|first6=J.

Even though the findings indicated that OGM was not significantly associated with depression, the study highlights that OGM may function as a vulnerability within high-risk populations. This suggests that OGM's predictive relevance may depend on the risk-level of the population. OGM persists even past depression, as found in Hallford et. al (2022). A meta-analysis indicated that participants with remitted depression continue to experience small to moderate deficiencies in being able to recall "specific, event-level personal memories". This indicates that OGM isn't merely a symptom of depression, but may function as a risk factor for future depressive episodes<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hallford|first=David John|last2=Rusanov|first2=Danielle|last3=Yeow|first3=Joseph J.
