Drastic spending reductions and ongoing restraint in social assistance, income supports, and the provision of affordable housing, combined with the offloading of social responsibilities onto municipalities, has contributed to the generalization of social issues once chiefly associated with Canada?s largest urban centres. As the investigations in this volume illustrate, while some communities responded to these issues with inclusionary and progressive actions others were more exclusionary and reactive?revealing forms of discrimination, exclusion, and ?othering? in the implementation of practices and policies. Importantly, however their investigations reveal a broad range of responses to the social issues they face. No matter the process and results of the proposed solutions, what the contributors uncovered were distinctive attributes of the small city as it struggles to confront increasingly complex social issues. If local governments accept a social agenda as part of its responsibilities, the contributors to Small Cities, Big Issues believe that small cities can succeed in reconceiving community based on the ideals of acceptance, accommodation, and inclusion. 606 $aSociology, Urban$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xSocial conditions$vCase studies 610 $aBC 610 $asocial issues 610 $aprostitution 610 $amental health 610 $animbyism 610 $aaccommodation 610 $aneoliberalism 610 $aBritish Columbia 610 $ahomelessness 610 $aIndigenous peoples 615 0$aSociology, Urban 676 $a307.760971 700 $aEdited by Christopher Walmsley and Terry Kading$4auth$01348118 702 $aWalmsley$b Christopher 702 $aKading$b Terry 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346036503321 996 $aSmall cities, big issues$93085180 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03124nam 2200613zu 450 001 9910136286103321 005 20240424225713.0 035 $a(CKB)3710000000586891 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001680376 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16496383 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001680376 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)15028480 035 $a(PQKB)10793225 035 $a(WaSeSS)IndRDA00056433 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/54085 035 $a(oapen)doab54085 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000586891 100 $a20160829d2014 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMultisensory integration in action control 210 $cFrontiers Media SA$d2014 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cFrontiers Media SA$d2014 215 $a1 online resource (142 pages) 225 0 $aFrontiers Research Topics,$x1664-8714 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a2-88919-312-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 330 $aThe integration of multisensory information is an essential mechanism in perception and in controlling actions. Research in multisensory integration is concerned with how the information from the different sensory modalities, such as the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and proprioception, are integrated to a coherent representation of objects. Multisensory integration is central for action control. For instance, when you grasp for a rubber duck, you can see its size and hear the sound it produces. Moreover, identical physical properties of an object can be provided by different senses. You can both see and feel the size of the rubber duck. Even when you grasp for the rubber duck with a tool (e.g. with tongs), the information from the hand, from the effect points of the tool and from the eyes are integrated in a manner to act successfully. Over the recent decade a surge of interest in multisensory integration and action control has been witnessed, especially in connection with the idea that multiple sensory sources are integrated in an optimized way. For this perspective to mature, it will be helpful to delve deeper into the information processing mechanisms and their neural correlates, asking about the range and constraints of this mechanisms, about its localization and involved networks. 606 $aPsychology$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 610 $arecalibration 610 $ahaptic 610 $aHuman Information Processing 610 $aVision 610 $aPerception 610 $areference frame 610 $aAcoustics 610 $aTool Use 615 7$aPsychology 615 7$aSocial Sciences 676 $a152.1 700 $aJochen Musseler$4auth$01370014 702 $aMüsseler$b Jochen 702 $aSutter$b Christine 702 $aDrewing$b Knut 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136286103321 996 $aMultisensory integration in action control$93397277 997 $aUNINA
