ISBN 0 8058 5684 6. p.61. ref It is based on the perspective that sexual attraction is but a single component of a larger dynamic. To holders of this view, one s orientation is defined by whom one is predisposed to fall in love with, whether or not one desires that person sexually. Lately, the predominant use of the term sexual orientation is considered to reduce a whole category of desires and emotions, as well as power and connection, to sex. This is an important concept amongst the Asexuality asexual community where it is often referred to as romantic orientation and the term affectionalorientation is rarely used. It does however retain its separation from sexual attraction and as such is seen by many as an orientation within an orientation amongst the asexual community. Taking from the fact that amongst this community this is known as the romantic orientation, the prefixes of homo , hetero , bi , pan , poly , demi and a have been used to form terms such as heteroromantic, biromantic and so on. ref http www.asexuality.org en index.php?showtopic 44350&st 60 ref It is a common term and part ...

In psychology , an affectional bond is a type of attachment behavior one individual has for another individual, ref name Bowlby 2005 cite book author Bowlby, J. title The Making and Breaking of Affectional Bonds publisher Routledge Classics year 2005 isbn 0 415 35481 1 ref typically a caregiver for her or his child, ref http www.personalityresearch.org papers pendry.html ref in which the two partners tend to remain in proximity to one another. ref name Bowlby 2005 The term was coined and subsequently developed over the course of four decades, from the early 1940s to the late 1970s, by psychologist John Bowlby in his work on attachment theory . The core of the term affectional bond , according to Bowlby, is the attraction one individual has for another individual. The central features of the concept of affectional bonding can be traced to Bowlby s 1958 paper, the Nature of the Child s Tie to his Mother. ref Bowlby, J. 1958 . The Nature of the Childs Tie to his Mother. International Journal of Psychoanalysis 39 350 373. ref Five criteria Bowlby referred to attachment bonds as a specific type of affectional bond, as described by him and developmental psychologist Mary Ainsworth . She established five criteria for affectional bonds between individuals, and a sixth criterion for attachment bonds An affectional bond is persistent, not transitory. An affectional bond involves a particular person who is not interchangeable with anyone else. An affectional bond involves a relationship that is emotionally significant. The individual wishes to maintain proximity or contact with the person with whom he or she has an affectional tie. The individual feels sadness or distress at involuntary separation from the person. An attachment bond has an additional criterion the person seeks security and comfort in the relationship. ref Ainsworth, M.D.S. 1989 . Attachments beyond infancy. American Psychologist , 44, 709716.

In these nations, most coins, including all modern coins, have their reverse turned, or aligned, in a specified way relative to the obverse. There are essentially two options, referred to as coin orientation and medallic orientation . For a medal to display properly, even if it flips over, when it is tagged to a uniform, the reverse needs to be aligned so that the top of the reverse shares the same position as the top of the obverse. This alignment is called medallic orientation . The opposite situation is seen in some coins, e.g. coins of the United States but not those of the United Kingdom . In this case, the coin must be flipped about its horizontal axis in order to see the other side the correct way up. In other words, the image on one face of the coin is upside down relative to the other. For this reason, coin orientation is used in the United States to express the opposite of medal orientation .

refimprove date November 2011 Vernacular orientation refers to the status that a language is afforded by one of its mother tongue speakers Tiessen, 2003 . This status is exhibited through the sociolinguistic behaviours of a mother tongue speaker. A speaker who exhibits positive vernacular orientation is one who exhibits a preferred status for their mother tongue in such things as patterns of language use, language attitudes, social network s and even levels of language proficiency . Likewise, a speaker who exhibits negative vernacular orientation is one who exhibits a preferred status for a language other than their mother tongue in these areas of sociolinguistic behaviour. An example of research into vernacular orientation as expressed in a community can be found at http www.und.nodak.edu dept linguistics theses 2003Tiessen.PDF . This is a study on vernacular orientation in the Talysh community of the city of Sumgayit in the Republic of Azerbaijan for the purpose of gaining a greater understanding of its causes. Vernacular orientation is described in three areas of sociolinguistic behaviour patterns of vernacular language use, vernacular language proficiency and frequency of vernacular speaking individuals in social networks. Data was collected through personal interviews. The questionnaires for these interviews were developed using a qualitative relational research approach. The description of vernacular orientation takes the form of a criteria based typology of which an analysis of influential factors is ultimately made. This analysis of influential factors demonstrates the interaction between vernacular orientation as described in the typology and the contextual elements of the family, socio economic dynamics and individual attitudes.

Comprehensive Psychiatry 23 479 491 ref Problems with orientation lead to dis orientation, and can be due to various conditions, from delirium to Substance intoxication intoxication . Typically, disorientation is first in time, then in place and finally in person. The exact brain cerebral region involved in orientation is uncertain, but lesions of the brain stem and the cerebral hemisphere s have been reported to cause disorientation, suggesting that they act together in maintaining awareness and its subfunction of orientation.

The orientation of churches is the architectural feature of orientating, or facing churches towards the east Latin oriens . The orientation of churches toward the east has persevered until the present day in a number of Christian denominations. Explanations There are several possible explanations for this orientation. The Jewish custom of fixing the direction of prayer and orienting synagogues Mizrah influenced Christianity during its formative years. In early Christianity , it was customary to pray facing toward the Holy Land . Gregory of Nyssa thought that the Orient contained man s original home, the earthly paradise. Thomas Aquinas suggested that Our Lord lived His earthly life in the East, and that from the East He shall come to judge mankind ref II II, Q. lxxxiv, a. 3 ref Tertullian noted that places of Christian worship are always in high and open places, facing the light . ref Adv.

The fast pace of technological development and the increased speed with which imitations turn up on the market have dramatically shortened Product lifecycle marketing product lifecycles .
