The Met has worked to raise money for specific endowment funds that can go to exhibitions and programs "with the goal that we would be less reliant on corporate funding, which is harder to get in a down economy," Ms. Rafferty said.
The findings highlight an upsurge in research on SMEs in developing countries and how these enterprises have used location-specific endowments to mitigate their resource limitation predicament.
However, although clinicians intuitively use their species-specific endowments for deciphering nonverbal expressions in therapist client interactions, the extent to which clinical judgments rely on the unconscious perception of patients' communicative signals is unclear and highly under-researched in clinical psychiatry [ 59].
Some (Pinker 1994; Chomsky 1975, 1980), for instance, conclude that a specific innate endowment help explain several aspects of children's linguistic performance.
Numerous lines of evidence suggested that psychology would have to take account of species-specific biological endowments if it was to understand how different species interact with their environment and the distinctive things each species is able to learn from these interactions (e.g. Harlow 1953; Tomkins 1962; Seligman 1970).
On this theory, while (following Mencius, 372 289 BCE) insisting that people are basically good (well intended and sensitive to the sufferings of others), he accepted that the manner in which this basic disposition is manifested is conditioned and at times contained by a person's specific qi endowment (native talents and gifts, qizhi), family and social environment, and other factors.
Since 1950, a transition from a biomass- to a minerals-based metabolism can also be observed with the region's specific resource endowment strongly influencing its metabolic profile: While per capita extraction of fossil energy carriers is far above global average, biomass consumption is low and largely depends on material imports.
The Nativist, in contrast, is ready to consider that learning a language now reconceived as a matter of grammar acquisition depends in some way on a language-specific innate endowment.
One unfortunate result was the squandering of a great deal of money through inefficiency and the misallocation of resources through the building of so-called political factories, which served more to enhance the prestige of politicians than to use most rationally the endowments of a specific region.
