Nonetheless, two scenes, occurring late in "Lady Bird," are among the most thrillingly directed of recent moments, and suggest with a clarion intensity that her directorial imagination reaches beyond the film's primary mode of practical drama.
For social scientists as well as participants in practices more generally, the adjudication of such conflicts requires mutual perspective taking, which is its own mode of practical reasoning.
Such interaction will provide the basis for determining how the functions of the new form of political organization will be limited and expanded, the scope of which is "something to be critically and experimentally determined" in democracy as a mode of practical inquiry (Dewey 1927b, 281).
This was a struggle: it proved impossible to derive exclusive supercategories, but eventually we identified three overarching analytic modes of action: Practical: limiting what perpetrators can do by changing the environment and its contents; Psychological: changing how perpetrators see, think or feel; Personal: spotting, identifying, catching, tracking or tracing the perpetrators.
Basic modes are the modes of conative or practical intentional attitudes (such as intentions or desires), cognitive or theoretical intentional attitudes (such as beliefs or perceptions), and affective or emotional attitudes (such as hopes and fears).
It follows how the objectivity of numbers is debated, stabilised or disrupted, as differing appeals to realism and accuracy are advanced in the context of different modes of intervention and practical aims.
(See Koethe (2002, 327) for a worry about practical modes of presentation that it smuggles in an antecedent notion of knowledge-how and see Fantl (2009, 461) for a response).
This note comments some results in the paper "Design of practical sliding-mode controllers with constant switching frequency for power converters", Int.
The formulation has facilitated us to study the modal properties, viz., field distribution, birefringence, dispersion and mode effective area, of a variety of practical two-dimensional structures namely, planar structure, coupler, semiconductor optical waveguides, optical fibers and arbitrary profile microstructured fibers which are uniquely important in photonics and guided-wave devices.
