Researching Early Childhood Education for Sustainability : Challenging Assumptions and Orthodoxies
This book captures the now burgeoning research field of early childhood education for sustainability (ECEfS) and comprises insights from an ever-widening and diverse pool of researchers, who are promoting, engaging, and explaining the latest ECEfS research in the light of local, national, and United Nations global policy directives.With the increasing urgency of global climate disruptions, resource depletions, and biodiversity losses alongside greater human dislocation, the international scope of research and theory in this book provides a comprehensive guide to the role of sustainability in early childhood education, at a time when it is needed more than ever. Elliott, Ärlemalm-Hagsér, and Davis have brought together a collection of studies that offer new insights and approaches to ECEfS which challenge dominant narratives surrounding early childhood education and sustainability, including topics such as: how diverse worldviews and cultures challenge perceptions of sustainability; how bold national early education policies and urgent shifts in teacher education are imperative for driving transformative practices; and, how ECEfS curriculum and pedagogy can be incorporated successfully into early years settings. This book will both inspire researchers and more deeply enable early years’ educators to practise sustainability with children, and so will be of great interest to scholars, lecturers, and researchers, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, across the increasingly intersecting fields of sustainability and early childhood education.

Analytic Listening in Clinical Dialogue : Basic Assumptions
Analytic Listening in Clinical Dialogue focuses on the work of four leading clinicians as they assess how their unconscious basic assumptions impact their clinical work. Using the case study of a seven-year-old boy, the authors evaluate a videotaped psychoanalytic first interview and exchange their mutual clinical approaches.Their discussions uncover the way that unconscious basic assumptions arise from the core of one’s personality and act as the pillars that support primary- and secondary-process thinking.These fundamental models of thought and emotion result in convictions which play a key role in the processes of understanding, evaluating, classifying, anticipating and regulating.The authors show how an ‘analytic listening’ approach can also be used to good effect in supervisions and intervisions, as it provides a path out of the domain of ‘being right’ into a space of what is shared as well as what is different.They argue that this method allows an analyst’s own blind spots to be reduced. Translated from the original German, Analytic Listening in Clinical Dialogue will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychologists.

How can one make assumptions or hypotheses?
One can make assumptions or hypotheses by observing patterns or trends in data, conducting research, and drawing logical conclusions based on available evidence. It is important to consider all relevant information and to be open to revising assumptions or hypotheses as new evidence becomes available. Additionally, consulting with experts in the field and considering alternative explanations can help in forming well-informed assumptions or hypotheses.
-
Can our fundamental physical assumptions be wrong?
Yes, our fundamental physical assumptions can be wrong. Throughout history, scientific theories and assumptions have been revised and updated as new evidence is discovered. For example, the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the solar system or the development of quantum mechanics challenged previous assumptions about the nature of reality. It is important for scientists to remain open to new ideas and evidence that may challenge our current understanding of the physical world.

What are assumptions regarding partial write-downs?
Assumptions regarding partial write-downs include the expectation that the value of the asset has decreased, but not to the extent that a full write-down is necessary. It is also assumed that the decrease in value is not temporary and is likely to be permanent. Additionally, there is an assumption that the partial write-down accurately reflects the current fair value of the asset. Finally, it is assumed that the partial write-down will have a material impact on the financial statements and should be disclosed to stakeholders.

Should I make assumptions in the characterization itself?
It is generally not advisable to make assumptions in the characterization itself. Characterization should be based on observable traits, actions, and dialogue rather than assumptions. Making assumptions can lead to biased or inaccurate portrayals of characters, and it is important to allow the reader to form their own opinions based on the evidence presented in the story. It is better to let the characters' words and actions speak for themselves rather than making assumptions about their motivations or intentions.

How can one derive the area from certain assumptions?
One can derive the area of a shape by making certain assumptions about its properties and using mathematical principles to calculate the area. For example, for a rectangle, one can assume that the opposite sides are equal in length and the angles are right angles. From these assumptions, one can use the formula for the area of a rectangle (length x width) to derive the area. Similarly, for a circle, one can assume that the radius is constant and use the formula for the area of a circle (πr^2) to derive the area. By making these assumptions and applying the relevant formulas, one can calculate the area of various shapes.
