Post-structuralism uses the term New Historicism, which has some connections to both anthropology and Hegelianism.

In this view, grand theories are unprovable, and instead intensive field work would determine the most likely explanation and history of a culture, and hence it is named Historicism.

This school of thought sometimes goes by the name of New Historicism.

There are also villas, particularly in the city's villa districts such as Kamienna Góra where Historicism inspired Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque architecture.

The University can rarely provide all the necessary training in first hand experience that an apprenticeship can, and therefore in addition to graduate level training the profession also tends towards encouraging conservation students to spend time as an intern.

Cosmologists therefore invoke a yet unexplored form of energy called dark energy ( dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe ) which account for certain cosmological observations mostly related to " accelerating expansion of Universe ".

Corroborating evidence ( in " corroboration ") is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore confirming the proposition.

FT depicts a broad trend, and an extrapolation of historical rates therefore tends to underestimate future BAU deforestation for counties at the early stages in the transition ( HFLD ), while it tends to overestimate BAU deforestation for countries at the later stages ( LFHD and LFLD ).

Ethnic nationalism is therefore seen as exclusive, while civic nationalism tends to be inclusive.

This commentary tends to focus on the meaning of the mishnayot themselves, without as much reliance on the Gemara's interpretation and is, therefore, considered valuable as a tool for the study of Mishnah as an independent work.

Section dm < sub > 1 </ sub >, therefore, has a lot of angular rotating velocity with respect to the rotation around the pivot axis, and as dm < sub > 1 </ sub > is forced closer to the pivot axis of the rotation ( by the wheel spinning further ), due to the Coriolis effect dm < sub > 1 </ sub > tends to move in the direction of the top-left arrow in the diagram ( shown at 45 °) in the direction of rotation around the pivot axis.

In American society, which tends to promote individualism and responsibility over collectivism and dependence, the term welfare has therefore developed into one which has negative connotations, and seen by some as un-American.

Core form design tends to, as a general rule, be more economical, and therefore more prevalent, than shell form design for high voltage power transformer applications at the lower end of their voltage and power rating ranges ( less than or equal to, nominally, 230 kV or 75 MVA ).

Low inflation therefore tends to favor rentiers -

As ' essence ' may imply permanence, some argue that essentialist thinking tends towards political conservatism and therefore opposes social change.

Biplanes will therefore typically have a shorter wingspan than a similar monoplane, which tends to afford greater maneuverability.

In small doses, it therefore tends to relieve pain, if this is present.

In addition, since DWDM provides greater maximum capacity it tends to be used at a higher level in the communications hierarchy than CWDM, for example on the Internet backbone and is therefore associated with higher modulation rates, thus creating a smaller market for DWDM devices with very high performance levels.

This change in input to bodily structures tends to favor excitation and therefore increase nerve excitability.

Clonus tends to not be present with spasticity in patients with significantly increased muscle tone, as the muscles are constantly active and therefore not engaging in the characteristic on / off cycle of clonus.

A person experiencing intense emotions tends to be more receptive to ideas and therefore more suggestible.

CBR therefore tends to be a good approach for rich, complex domains in which there are myriad ways to generalize a case.

This means that Riesling tends to be lighter weight and therefore suitable to a wider range of foods.

A gardener is a person that tends to a garden and is therefore a horticulturist.

The force of the tendon ’ s pull therefore has two components: a forward component that tends to pull the eyeball downward ( depression ), and a medial component that tends to rotate the top of the eyeball toward the nose ( intorsion ).

Housing, therefore, tends to be more closely packed than in other countries, resulting in a particular affinity with the terraced house, dating back to the aftermath of the Great Fire of London.
