Weberian Versus Pluralistic Legal Forces in the Global Political Economy

This picture supports a view that modernization processes lead naturally to legal structures similar to what can be observed in Western societies and that also global structures will emerge on the same model. Together with modernization theory another prominent theory often alluded to as justification for legalization is Institutional Economics where rules and institutions are considered mechanisms for effective transaction costs avoidance. My earlier publications compare these and other approaches for explaining the role of law in the economy. A third theory is Max Weber’s legal rationalization, an evolutionary process running from traditional irrational forms to formal, bureaucratic forms of legal domination. Weber’s view that legal rationalization is our "fate" and informal rules and institutions are necessarily outdated will be reconsidered from a historical perspective and confronted with empirical data gathered in the area of the governance of global business transactions. This article will attempt to show that although Weber’s influential approach still helps to explain much of what occurs in domestic models of capitalism it doesn’t seem to grasp the growing complexities of globalized capitalism.Este analisis apoya la opinion de que los procesos de modernizacion conducen naturalmente a las estructuras juridicas similares a lo que se observa en las sociedades occidentales y que tambien las estructuras globales surgiran en el mismo modelo. Junto con la teoria de la modernizacion, otra teoria prominente a menudo aludida como justificacion para la legalizacion es la Economia Institucional, donde las reglas y las instituciones se consideran mecanismos para evitar los costos de transaccion de efectivo. Las publicaciones anteriores del autor comparan estos y otros enfoques para explicar el papel de la ley en la economia. Una tercera teoria es la racionalizacion juridica de Max Weber, un proceso evolutivo que va desde las formas tradicionales a las formas irracionales formales y burocraticas de dominacion legal. Desde el punto de vista de Weber la racionalizacion juridica es nuestro "destino" y las normas e instituciones informales necesariamente obsoleta seran examinadas de nuevo desde una perspectiva historica y confrontadas con los datos empiricos recogidos en el ambito del gobierno de las transacciones comerciales globales. En este articulo trataremos de mostrar que a pesar de que el enfoque influyente de Weber todavia ayuda a explicar gran parte de lo que ocurre en los modelos internos del capitalismo, no parece comprender la creciente complejidad del capitalismo globalizado.
The Role of Profitability in Mediating the Effect of Dividend Policy and Company Size on Company Value

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of dividend policy and company size on profitability and company value of consumer goods company in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The population of this research is consumer goods companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange in the year of 2014-2016 amounted to 45 companies. Sampling is done by saturation sampling method in which all members of population are used as sample. The data analysis of this research uses method of structural equation added by PLS (Partial Least Square) approach. The result of the research shows that dividend policy has negative effect on profitability, while company size does not give any effect on profitability. Dividend policy, company size and profitability variable have an effect on company value. Profitability can not mediate the effect of dividend policy on company value but it can mediate the effect of company size on company value.
Effects of dietary protein level and rumen-protected pantothenate on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, blood metabolites and growth performance in beef calves

Adequate dietary crude protein (CP) supplementation is necessary to maintain ruminal fermentation and production performance of animals. It was found that increasing dietary protein content enhanced dry matter (DM) intake (Galles et al., 2011; Detmann et al., 2014), ruminal bacteria growth (Chanthakhoun et al., 2012), nutrient digestibility, microbial protein synthesis, N utilization (Chanthakhoun et al., 2012) and growth performance (Detmann et al., 2014). However, the excretion of faecal N and urinary N also increased with increasing dietary CP level (Lohakare et al., 2006; Galles et al., 2011), leading to an increased environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to improve N utilization for high protein diets. ABSTRACT. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of dietary different levels of crude protein (CP) and rumen-protected pantothenate (RPP) supplementation on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, blood metabolites and growth performance in beef calves. Sixty Blonde d’Aquitaine × Simmental bull calves (in average 12 months of age and 354 ± 2.4 kg of body weight) were randomly assigned to four groups with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Low CP (113,7 g/kg dry matter (DM)) or high CP (133,9 g/kg DM) diets were fed without or with 72 mg RPP per kg DM. The feeding experiment lasted 100 days (10 days of adaptation and 90 days of target feeding and data collection). After feeding experiment, 4 calves per treatment (still fed the same diet) were randomly selected for collection of faeces and urine from day 111 to 120. CP × RPP interactions were not observed. DM intake, average daily gain, digestibility of DM, organic matter, CP, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre, digestible N (DN), retained N (RN), DN:N intake ratio and RN:DN ratio increased, and feed conversion ratio decreased with increasing dietary CP level or RPP supplementation. Serum total protein and albumin contents increased with increasing dietary CP level or RPP supplementation. Serum urea nitrogen increased with increasing dietary CP level, but decreased with RPP supplementation. Serum concentrations of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylCoA synthetase, pantothenic acid, acyl carrier protein and acetyl-CoA as well as activities of pantothenate kinase and succinyl-CoA were not affected by dietary CP level, but increased with RPP supplementation. So, nutrient utilization and growth performance were improved with increasing dietary CP level or RPP supplementation in beef calves.

Prediction of Cutting Forces in Milling Stainless Steels using Chamfered Main Cutting Edge Tool

To study the cutting forces, the carbide tip’s surface temperature, and the mechanism of secondary chip and main chip formation of face milling stainless steel with a chamfered main cutting edge has been investigated. Theoretical values of cutting forces were calculated and compared to the experimental results with SUS 304 stainless steel plate as a workpiece material. Force data from these tests were used to estimate the empirical constants of the mechanical model and to verify its prediction capabilities. A comparison of the predicted and measured forces shows good agreement. A preliminary discussion is also made for the design of special tool holders and their geometrical configurations. Next, the tips mounted in the tool holders are ground to a chamfered width and the tool dimensions are measured by using a toolmaker microscope.
Antecedents of Behavioural Indicators of Trust in Subordinates

ANTECEDENTS OF BEHAVIOURAL INDICATORS OF TRUST IN SUBORDINATES Christopher Upton Advisor: University of Guelph, 2011 Dr. Harjinder Gill The present study examined how a leader’s behavioural intentions are affected by the trustworthiness of their subordinate using the Affective-Cognitive trust model (Gillespie, 2003; McAllister, 1995). Two-hundred and twenty-five undergraduate students participated in an experimental study that assessed their willingness to engage in reliance and disclosure behaviours based on their perceptions of affective and cognitive trust. Given concerns about the conceptual overlap between trust and liking, we controlled for liking. Consistent with our hypotheses we found that cognitive trust predicted participant’s willingness to engage in reliance behaviours, whereas affective trust predicted participant’s willingness to engage in disclosure behaviours. However, when we controlled for liking, these findings held for disclosure behaviours but did not for reliance behaviours. Limitations of our study and implications for both research and practice are discussed.
Research and Development for Oil Spill Simulation Backward in Time at East Vietnam Sea

The paper is presented the evaluation of the oil spill simulation backward in time with some input data conditions such as the environment factors (from simple to complex conditions) and oil spill data (from one to multifarious). The scientific basis is used the hypothesis of the mathematical basis forward in time, the physical phenomena backward in time (reverse phase) and non-negative requirements. The oil spill process is calculated with important components involved in the simulation such as physical, weathering and oil properties change. The East Vietnam Sea was chosen to apply the study that oil spill incident data was used in the past and especially in 2007 and 2008. The simulation results are considered and determined with concentration and layer thickness of oil spill on sea that they always appear in small areas. This area has a peak concentration value that jumps over nearby surroundings for a short period of time. This time interval depends on the environmental factors that make the input data condition. Hence, the surrounding higher concentrations are predicted oil streaks that could have survived in the past. Finally, the peak concentration area is predicted for the possibility of an oil spill emission source in the past. Besides, this study may still not be optimized so they will continue to be solved in the future.
Amplified bioproductivity during Transition IV (332 000-342 000 yr ago): evidence from the geochemical record of Lake El'gygytgyn

To date, terrestrial archives of long-term climatic change within the Arctic have widely been restricted to ice cores from Greenland and, more recently, sediments from Lake El'gygytgyn in northeast Arctic Russia. Sediments from this lake contain a paleoclimate record of glacial-interglacial cycles during the last three million years. Low-resolution studies at this lake have suggested that changes observed during Transition IV (the transition from marine isotope stage (MIS) 10 to MIS 9) are of greater amplitude than any observed since. In this study, geochemical parameters are used to infer past climatic conditions thus providing the first high-resolution analyses of Transition IV from a terrestrial Arctic setting. These results demonstrate that a significant shift in climate was subsequently followed by a rapid increase in biogenic silica (BSi) production. Following this sharp increase, bioproductivity remained high, but variable, for over a thousand years. This study reveals differences in the timing and magnitude of change within the ratio of silica to titanium (Si/Ti) and BSi records that would not be apparent in lower resolution studies. This has significant implications for the increasingly common use of Si/Ti data as an alternative to traditional BSi measurements.
Serial persistence in individual real estate returns in the UK

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine individual level property returns to see whether there is evidence of persistence in performance, i.e. a greater than expected probability of well (badly) performing properties continuing to perform well (badly) in subsequent periods. Design/methodology/approach - The same methodology originally used in Young and Graff is applied, making the results directly comparable with those for the US and Australian markets. However, it uses a much larger database covering all UK commercial property data available in the Investment Property Databank (IPD) for the years 1981 to 2002 – as many as 216,758 individual property returns. Findings - While the results of this study mimic the US and Australian results of greater persistence in the extreme first and fourth quartiles, they also evidence persistence in the moderate second and third quartiles, a notable departure from previous studies. Likewise patterns across property type, location, time, and holding period are remarkably similar. Research limitations/implications - The findings suggest that performance persistence is not a feature unique to particular markets, but instead may characterize most advanced real estate investment markets. Originality/value - As well as extending previous research geographically, the paper explores possible reasons for such persistence, consideration of which leads to the conjecture that behaviors in the practice of institutional-grade commercial real estate investment management may themselves be deeply rooted and persistent, and perhaps influenced for good or ill by agency effects.
Radio-loud active galactic nuclei and the LX–σ relation of galaxy groups and clusters

We use the ROSAT All-Sky Survey to study the X-ray properties of a sample of 625 groups and clusters of galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We stack clusters with similar velocity dispersions and investigate whether their average X-ray luminosities and surface brightness profiles vary with the radio activity level of their central galaxies. We find that at a given value of σ , clusters with a central radio active galactic nucleus (AGN) have more concentrated X-ray surface brightness profiles, larger central galaxy masses and higher X-ray luminosities than clusters with radio-quiet central galaxies. The enhancement in X-ray luminosity is more than a factor of 2, is detected with better than 6σ significance and cannot be explained by X-ray emission from the radio AGN itself. This difference is largely due to a subpopulation of radio-quiet, high velocity dispersion clusters with low-mass central galaxies. These clusters are underluminous at X-ray wavelengths when compared to otherwise similar clusters where the central galaxy is radio-loud, more massive, or both.
THE INFLUENCE OF INDIVIDUAL KNOWLEDGE AND WORK TEAM DEVELOPMENT TO THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY PERFORMANCE OF IN EAST JAVA

Individual knowledge is the fundamental human capital to contribute to the greatness of the company. The personal capability and competence should be dispersed to other individuals within the organization to form a work team that is reliable and motivated so that each individual can easily do the work communication. As a result, it gives an impact on the flexibility of working people and eventually can improve the company performance. The data are collected by questionnaires that are distributed to 90 industrial practitioners, with the 86 completed data that can be further processed. The result of this study states that the individual knowledge influences strongly on the development of the competent work team, and enhances the collaboration and communication process. The development of the work teams in the company affects the collaboration, communication, and effectiveness of the work teams. Finally, the cooperation and communication in the work place and the effectiveness of the work teams together improve the company performance.
Dietary forage to concentrate ratio and sunflower oil supplement alter rumen fermentation, ruminal methane emissions, and nutrient utilization in lactating cows

Abstract The effects of supplementing high- or low-concentrate diets with sunflower oil (SO) on rumen fermentation, nutrient utilization, and ruminal methane (CH4) emissions in lactating cows were examined. Four multiparous Nordic Red dairy cows fitted with rumen cannulae were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments and 35-d periods. Experimental treatments comprised iso-nitrogenous total mixed rations based on grass silage with forage to concentrate ratio of 65:35 or 35:65 supplemented with 0 or 50 g/kg diet DM of SO. Apparent ruminal OM and starch digestibility was greater (P < 0.05) with high- than low-concentrate diets but was unaffected by SO. Inclusion of SO in high-concentrate diet decreased (P ≤ 0.05) apparent total tract OM, fiber, and GE, and apparent ruminal fiber digestibility. High-concentrate diets and SO shifted (P < 0.05) fiber digestion from rumen to the hindgut. High-concentrate diet resulted in a lower rumen pH and elevated total rumen VFA concentration compared with low-concentrate diet, whereas SO increased rumen pH and decreased rumen VFA concentration when included in high-, but not low-concentrate diet (P < 0.05 for interaction). High-concentrate diet reduced rumen ammonia-N (P < 0.01) and molar proportion of acetate to propionate (P < 0.01), and decreased (P < 0.05) ruminal CH4 emissions when expressed as g/d or g/kg OM digested in the rumen. With both low- and high-concentrate diets, SO reduced (P < 0.05) daily emissions of CH4 as g/d or g/kg OM digested in the rumen, but SO reduced CH4 emissions expressed as g/kg OM intake, OM digested in total digestive tract, energy-corrected milk or % of GE intake only with low-concentrate diet (P ≤ 0.05 for interaction). In conclusion, replacing grass silage with concentrates led to a reduction in daily ruminal CH4 emissions that were accompanied by a shift in rumen fermentation toward the synthesis of propionate, and decreases in rumen pH and fiber digestion. Sunflower oil was effective in reducing daily CH4 emissions in lactating cows which was accompanied by a noticeable lower feed intake with high- but not low-concentrate diet. Overall the effects of SO and greater proportion of concentrates in the diet on daily CH4 emissions were additive but the additivity declined or vanished when different indices of CH4 emission intensity were considered. Consequently, SO was more effective in reducing CH4 emissions when low-concentrate diet was fed.
Gender Research in Classrooms: Scientific or Political?.

This paper examines selected Australian studies and studies produced in other countries on gender research of classroom interaction between students and their teachers. The results, deficiencies in methodology, selective reporting of data, and the policies based on the research are highlighted. To substantiate a request for more complex and scientifically-based research, rather than the relatively simplistic but politically-appealing sex difference approach, an analysis of verbal interactions involving 113 students in 24 science classes for year 8 in Brisbane, Australia was conducted. The interactive categories for teachers included organization, behavior, and task; initiation and response were used for students. Superficial analysis of the data included a bias in favor of male students, but a detailed analysis indicated that the interaction patterns of female students were not significantly different from those of the male students. The differences that did exist can be explained by the activities of particular subgroups of both male and female students. The conclusion was that certain individuals receive more attention, and therefore, both male and female students were being disadvantaged. Tables and a 46-item bibliography are included.

Comparison of experimental and theoretical fast ion slowing-down times in DIII-D

Short deuterium beam pulses are injected into the D III–D tokamak to study the variation of beam slowingdown time with temperature and density. The slowing-down time is inferred from the rate of decay of the d(d,n)3He neutron emission. To within ∼30%, the results are consistent with Sivukhin's classical theory. The short beam pulses,are also useful for measurements of the central deuterium density.
Participation And performance In 8.02x Electricity And Magnetism: The First Physics MOOC From MITx

Massive Open Online Courses are an exciting new avenue for instruction and research, yet they are full of unknowns. In the Spring of 2013, MITx released its first introductory physics MOOC through the edX platform, generating a total enrollment of 43,000 students from around the world. We describe the population of participants in terms of their age, gender, level of education, and country of origin, highlighting both the diversity of 8.02x enrollees as well as gender gap and retention. Using three midterm exams and the final as waypoints, we highlight performance by different demographic subpopulations and their retention rates. Our work is generally aimed at making a bridge between available MOOC data and topics associated with the Physics Education Research community.
Within-type variation in Satellite-framed languages: The case of Serbian

Abstract After a wealth of studies on motion event descriptions, it seems hard to say something new: the Verb-framed/Satellite-framed typology proposed by Talmy has spawned a long debate. Among other things, previous work has shown within-type variation for one of the two language types defined by Talmy, namely Verb-framed languages. In this paper, we address this debate, showing within-type variation for the other type, Satellite-framed languages, with new data elicited from native speakers of Serbian. In order to do so, we compare it with five other languages, from three Indo-European language families (Romance, Germanic and Slavic). Our data show that Serbian is a particularly interesting case, since it is structurally Satellite-framed, but behaves like Verb-framed languages in that speakers do not always express manner and path jointly (i.e. manner in the verb and path in the satellite), as expected on the basis of Talmy’s typology. The main result of our paper is thus that there is a good deal of within-type variation for both language types identified by Talmy.
Effects of rosemary extracts incorporation on Barbarine lamb's growth and carcass characteristics

The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of rosemary extracts (RE) incorporation on diet intake, lambs growth, carcass characteristics and composition. Thirty two fat tail Barbarine lambs (19.9±2 kg body weight (BW)) were divided into 2 homogeneous groups according to BW. All sheep were fed 50% alfalfa caps and 50 % concentrate. Two types of concentrate were used, the Control (C) and the experimental (RE) in which 0.06% of RE (measured on fresh weight of the concentrate) was added. At the end of the growth trial (60 days), all animals were slaughtered. The BW at slaughter was similar for both groups (25 kg). Dressing percentage was not affected by RE incorporation (54.4 vs. 51.7 for C and RE, respectively). The gut was more developed for C group (1614 vs. 1495 g). The carcass weight was similar for both groups (10.9 vs. 10.7 kg for C and RE, respectively). Carcasses of RE group showed comparable fatness (22%), less muscle (50.6 vs. 52.5%) and a higher bone proportion than C one. In conclusion, small quantity of RE did not show significant effects on lambs' growth and carcass composition.
