Mechanical Properties of Randomly Oriented Calotropis Gigantea Fiber-Reinforced Phenol Formaldehyde Biocomposites
Authors: Athijayamani A. , Sekar S. , Sidhardhan S. , Ramanathan K.
Published: September 2018

Mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact, of randomly oriented Calotropis Gigantea Fiber (CGF) -reinforced Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) biocomposites were studied based on the five different fiber loadings (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 vol%) and three different fiber lengths (3, 9, and 15 mm). The critical fiber length and optimum fiber loading were identified with the maximum level of mechanical properties in this composite. The fractured surfaces of composites after testing were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results revealed that the addition of CGFs is improving the mechanical properties of the PF composite. The properties of composites reach the properties of the neat resin sample at 20 vol% of all the cases. The critical fiber length and the optimum fiber loading to obtain the maximum mechanical properties were identified as 9 mm and 40 vol% respectively. Experimental tensile property values were compared with theoretical values and found to be in good agreement.

Del fracaso a la Aurora: los orígenes sombríos del saber
Authors: Rojas Parma Lorena
Published: September 2018

Resumen

El artículo se propone una disertación sobre la experiencia del fracaso en tres direcciones: i) la tendencia a la negación u ocultamiento de lo padecido, y sus consecuencias; ii) las posibilidades de su comprensión y la ocasión que implica una experiencia tan exigente para comprometer el auto conocimiento y la posibilidad misma de la filosofía; iii) el asombro (thaumazein), considerado ahora desde la perspectiva del fracaso, exige una reflexión sobre la propia condición que, bajo la imagen de la “Aurora”, supone una posibilidad hacia el “conócete a ti mismo” y los inicios del filosofar.

 Abstract

This article proposes a study on Failure. It will consider: i) The painful experiences we try to hide and deny and its consequences; ii) How we can understand Failure and how it is an opportunity to self knowledge and the possibility of philosophy; iii) Amazement (thaumazein), considered from the experience of Failure, demands a reflection of that experience and using “Aurora” as an image, it represents a possibility towards nosce te ipsumand the beginnings of philosophy.

El ñandú en Uruguay: el consumo alimentario de un ave nativa percibida como exótica
Authors: Laborde Gustavo
Published: September 2018

Los yacimientos arqueológicos registran que el consumo de ñandú era habitual entre las poblaciones originarias del actual territorio uruguayo. Tras la introducción del ganado vacuno en la primera mitad del siglo xvii, cuando se asentaron también los primeros colonos europeos, el consumo de carne de ñandú comenzó a perder importancia en la dieta local, aunque en el área rural se mantuvo el consumo de sus huevos y el ave se siguió cazando para extraerle las plumas. Hacia el año 2000, con impulso estatal, se instalaron varios criaderos con el objetivo de exportar carne de ñandú a Europa y de abastecer a restaurantes y consumidores gourmets locales. Pese a ser una especie nativa, su carne se clasifica dentro de las carnes exóticas, actitud que a su vez revela la centralidad de la carne vacuna en la dieta uruguaya, que se percibe como autóctona.  

Palabras clave: ñandú, consumo, carne, huevos, Uruguay

Abstract

Archaeological sites have shown that ñandú meat was common among the food consumed by the natives in what is now the current Uruguayan territory. Since the arrival of cattle, during the first half of the 17th Century —also the time of the first European settlers— ñandú meat became increasingly rare in the local diet, even though the rural population continued to eat the eggs and hunt the ñandú because of its feathers.In the year 2000, and with Public funding, several breeding centers were initiated. The goal was to export ñandú meat to Europe, and to supply local restaurants and connoiseurs. Despite the fact that the ñandú is a native species, its meat is cataloged as “exotic”, a fact that reflects the centrality of beef in the Uruguayan diet, as beef is perceived as indigenous.

La delegación carlista de Matías Barrio y Mier (1899-1909). Continuismo tradicionalista
Authors: Fernández Escudero Agustín
Published: September 2018

Resumen

El carlismo de los primeros años del siglo xx estaba dirigido por Matías Barrio y Mier, un tradicionalista, abogado y catedrático, al que don Carlos —Carlos VII para los carlistas—, nombró su delegado en diciembre de 1899, tras la dimisión del marqués de Cerralbo. Este profesor continuó ejerciendo la representación carlista hasta su muerte en junio de 1909, dejando un partido que había superado la crisis de 1900 y que buscaba su propio espacio público. Por otro lado, se ha visto que a don Carlos en aquellos años le preocupaba, más que la situación política o económica de España, constatar que no estaba dispuesto a abdicar en su hijo don Jaime y que, en la última sublevación carlista de 1900, él no había tenido participación. Por tanto, se ha considerado necesario mostrar la defensa que hacía el pretendiente de sus derechos dinásticos, contextualizándola con los cruciales momentos de la Historia de España en los años de la delegación de Barrio y Mier.

Palabras clave: carlismo, don Carlos, Barrio y Mier, don Jaime, Feliú, marqués de Cerralbo

 

Abstract

The carlism of early twentieth century. Carlism directed by Matías Barrio y Mier, a traditionalist, a lawyer and professor, which don Carlos, Charles VII to the Carlists, named his deputy in December 1899, following the demission of the Marquis of Cerralbo. This teacher continued to exercise the Carlist representation until his death in June 1909, leaving a party that had overcome the crisis of 1900 and sought their own public space. On the other hand, it has been seen that don Carlos in those years was concerned, rather than the political situation or economic of Spain, finding that it was not willing to abdicate in his son don Jaime and the last Carlist uprising in 1900, he had not been involved. Therefore, it was considered necessary to show the defense that made the suitor of his dynastic rights, contextualizing the crucial moments in the history of Spain in the years of the delegation of Barrio y Mier.

Surgical treatment of stenotic–occlusive affections of the lower extremity arteries in patients, suffering ischemic form of the diabetic foot syndrome
Authors: Didenko S. М.
Published: September 2018

Objective. To compare the efficacy of different methods of surgical treatment for stenotic-occlusive affection of the lower extremities (LE) arteries in patients with ischemic form (ІF) of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS).
Маterials and methods. Results of surgical treatment were analyzed in 164 patients, suffering diabetes mellitus Type II, complicated by IF of DFS with critical ischemia on background of combined stenotic-occlusive affection of the femoral and popliteo-tibial segments arteries.
Results. Primary passability of the femoral reconstruction zone was registerd in 65.6% of patients, in whom reconstruction of femoral arterial segment was performed without intervention on arteries of popliteo-tibial segment, and the secondary one – in 81.9%, high amputations rate have constituted 18% and lethality – 11.5%. Primary passability of the femoral reconstruction zone was registered in 89.5% patients, to whom a two-level reconstruction of femoral and popliteo-tibial arterial segments was performed, and a secondary one – in 92.1%, high amputations rate have constituted 5.2% and lethality – 7.9%.
Primary passability of the femoral reconstruction zone was registered in 81.5% patients, to whom hybrid arterial reconstruction was performed, and a secondary one – in 93.9%, high amputations rate have constituted 7.7% and lethality – 4.6%.
Conclusion

While coexistence of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusion with stenotic-occlusive affection of the popliteo-tibial segment arteries in patients, suffering stenotic-occlusive affection of arteries in popliteo-tibial segment in cases with IF of DFS the results of performance of isolated operation for the SFA restoration were the worst.
The results of a two-level and a hybrid operations may be considered comparable. Primary passability of the arterial reconstruction zone in patients, to whom a two-level reconstruction was performed, is highest, but lethality almost twice as bigger, than after hybrid arterial reconstruction.
Hybrid reconstructive operation constitutes optimal procedure in patients, suffering lower extremities (LE) arteries affection in cases with the ІF of DFS, combined with stenotic-occlusive affection of arteries in femoral and popliteo-tibial segments.

ABSTRAKPenanganan perkara tindak pidana korupsi menganut sistem pemidanaan minimum bagi pelaku yang diputus bersalah oleh pengadilan. Istilah ketentuan pidana minimum khusus secara normatif diatur dalam Pasal 2 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999, sebagaimana telah diubah menjadi Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi. Pada tataran praktiknya terdapat fenomena adanya putusan pengadilan yang menerobos sistem pemidanaan minimum yang dianut tersebut. Salah satu contoh putusan pengadilan yang ditelaah dalam tulisan ini adalah Putusan Nomor 2399 K/PID.SUS/2010. Permasalahan yang timbul adalah apa saja yang menjadi landasan infra petita hakim dalam menjatuhkan putusan yang menerobos ketentuan pemidanaan minimum dalam perkara tindak pidana korupsi tersebut. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang. Penulis berkesimpulan bahwa putusan pengadilan tindak pidana korupsi yang menerobos ketentuan pemidanaan minimum dalam Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi pada dasarnya diperbolehkan. Sepanjang putusan hakim yang infra petita tersebut memiliki esensi ratio legis yang kuat dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan, atas dasar alasan pertimbangan nilai keadilan dan pertimbangan judex factie sebagaimana pada perkara a quo.Kata kunci: putusan, korupsi, pemidanaan minimum. ABSTRACT In the handling of a corruption case, mandatory minimum penalty is adopted in the criminal justice system for the offender who was found guilty by the court. The term ‘mandatory minimum penalty’ is normatively regulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999, as amended to Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Corruption Eradication. In practice there is a phenomenon of a court decision breaching the adopted mandatory minimum penalty. One example of a court decision analyzed hereon is the Decision Number 2399 K/PID.SUS/2010. The arising problem is what the consideration of the judge is for infra petita in imposing decision which breached the mandatory minimum penalty provision in that corruption case. This research uses normative legal research method with legislation approach. It can be concluded that it is basically permissible in the corruption court’s decision to breach the minimum penalty provisions as stipulated in the Corruption Eradication Law. Provided that the judge’s decision of infra petita, is based on strong legislation ratio and can be accounted for, on the basis of justice value and judex factie considerations as in the a quo case.

ABSTRAKPutusan Nomor 75/PUU-XIII/2015 atas permohonan pengujian Pasal 20 ayat (3) Undang-Undang Pengadilan Hak Asasi Manusia, memiliki aspek menarik terkait kepastian hukum dan keadilan. Pemohon menilai keberadaan istilah ‘berkas kurang lengkap’ dalam ketentuan a quo memberikan ketidakadilan karena tidak memberikan kepastian hukum. Sebaliknya, penyidik, dalam hal ini Jaksa Agung justu menganggap keberadaan rumusan tersebut memberikan kepastian hukum sekaligus keadilan yang dibutuhkan oleh pencari keadilan maupun masyarakat. Penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian studi kasus yang mendasarkan dokumen Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai bahan hukum primer, dibandingkan dengan bahan hukum sekunder berupa teori hukum pidana dan hak asasi manusia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Putusan Nomor 75/PUU-XIII/2015 memberikan pertimbangan, bahwa pengaturan tersebut tetap konstitusional. Perbedaan pemahaman ini menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan berkas penyelidikan yang ‘kurang lengkap’  dapat dimungkinkan. Hal tersebut dianggap sebagai kondisi praktis penegakan hukum yang menekankan kehati-hatian dan persamaan di hadapan hukum.Kata kunci: berkas perkara, asas hukum acara pidana, constitutional rights, putusan hakim.  ABSTRACTConstitutional Court Decision Number 75/PUUXIII/2015 on the request for a judicial review of Article 20 paragraph (3) of Law on Human Rights Court has an interesting aspect related to the rule of law and justice. The Petitioner considered that the term ‘incomplete file’ in the quo provision raises a sense of injustice because it cannot bring legal certainty. Instead, the investigator, in this case the Attorney General considers the formulation can actually provide legal certainty as well as sense of justice needed by the justice seekers and the community. This analysis uses case study research method based on the document of Constitutional Court Decision as the primary law material compared with secondary law material in the form of criminal law theory and human rights. The results of the analysis show that the Constitutional Court Decision Number 75/PUU-XIII/2015 considers that the arrangement is still constitutional. This distinction of understanding suggests that ‘case file incomplete’ may be possible. It is regarded as the practical conditions of law enforcement that emphasize prudence and equality before the law.Keywords: case file, principles of criminal procedure law, constitutional rights, judge’s decision.

PENGARUH TIPE BUDAYA ORGANISASI TERHADAP PERILAKU KNOWLEDGE SHARING: PENDEKATAN KONSEP
Authors: Hermanto Hermanto
Published: September 2018

Resources are central to the existence of any organisation, and among these resources, knowledge is recognised as one of the most important. Knowledge can be categorised as explicit or tacit. Explicit knowledge can be articulated, stored independently, and easily communicated. Conversely, tacit knowledge is embedded deep in people’s minds and is not easily shared. Attempts to share can be slow, costly, and uncertain. Although it is acknowledged that there are inherent benefits to tacit knowledge, people, generally, are reluctant to share it because of various barriers. According to prior research, organisational culture is one of the main barriers. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that willfacilitate the study of the influence of organisational culture types on tacit knowledge-sharing behaviour.Keywords: Organisational Behaviour, Innovation, Knowledge Management

Published: September 2018

Streaming of video over wireless heterogeneous networks coping with the problem of packet loss which affects the perceived video quality. The service providers usually use the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio PSNR as a metric measure for the quality of their provided service. So they use the quality of service QoS of the network as a sign on the quality of their presented service. The QoS deal with the objective tests of the provided service, which mean the measure of PSNR of the presented objects. The presented objects may not get the satisfaction of the network users due to many factors although that the PSNR of the used service is enough for presenting the service. Recently the service providers use the Quality of Experience QoE term which deal with the subjective test of the presented object (i.e. the user satisfaction measure). In this paper we propose a new model to identify the importance or the significance of the role of the QoE assessment for the service providers. To verify our proposed model we did a referendum for 55 participants in order to assess their judgment on the quality of some presented videos. The results of the referendum match the consideration of the proposed model.
Mushroom Diagnosis Assistance System Based on Machine Learning by Using Mobile Devices
Authors: Shadeed Al-Mejibli Intisar , Hamed Abd Dhafar
Published: September 2018

Picking the wild mushrooms from the wild and forests for food purpose or for fun has become a public issue within the last years because many types of mushrooms are poisonous. Proper determination of mushrooms is one of the key safety issues in picking activities of it, which is widely spread, in countries. This contribution proposes a novel approach to support determination of the mushrooms through using a proposed system with mobile devices.  Part of the proposed system is a mobile application that easily used by a user - mushroom picker. Hence, the mushroom type determination process can be performed at any location based on specific attributes of it. The mushroom type determination application runs on Android devices that are widely spread and inexpensive enough to enable wide exploitation by users.

This paper developed Mushroom Diagnosis Assistance System (MDAS) that can be used on a mobile phone. Two classifiers are used which are Naive Bays and Decision Tree to classify the mushroom types.  The proposed approach selects the most effective of the already known mushroom attributes, and then specify the mushroom type. The use of specific features in mushroom determination process achieved very accurate results.

Published: September 2018

E-Government delivers services into inhabitant electronically, action, and another government existence. This is analogous to document centric approach in traditional service delivery by the government.  One of the most crucial factor regarding the reliability of government services is the security factor, which eventually leads to the social acceptance and satisfaction. E-Government is now a day is the response to the rapid development in the information technology especially in the automation of the process of service delivery. The model introduced by this paper is built over the social behavior of entities that shares the knowledge and provides decision-making baselines. Each entity is capturing its own knowledge and crystalize it with other entities within the communities. In this paper JAVA Agents where built to represent the individuals, which are attached to certain interaction points, for example each intelligent agent is attached to a web site representing the source of knowledge and behavior capture. Results proven that the social behavior of the software intelligent agent is a huge potential toward establishing social acceptance due to the smart behavior in collecting information regarding the utilization of the service, Three sites have been built along the implementation of paper to pursue its hypothesis; this is to represent government web sites deliver certain services and over which an intelligent agent is attached to capture the behavior of users and later on broadcast captured knowledge to other agents (i.e., the community is composed of four agents). The knowledge and expertise have been mutually exchanged and the overall knowledge has been proven to be converged toward the maximum experienced Agent.

The users interact with the environment is largely aggressive and uncertain (external threats such as penetration, denial of service, the introduction of code into the language of structured SQL queries, etc.). It should be noted that there are the uncertainties generated by hardware and software are also important. Any site can be sub-is influenced by the influence of the external environment and various subsystems of servicing the functions of web-sites, which leads to occurrence of contingencies and generates uncertainty of his work. The degree of uncertainty is cannot always be assessed on the basis of statistical material alone. This leads to an increase in the number of methods and means of intellectualizing the performance of evaluations on the basis of methods of artificial intelligence, and methods based on the use of fuzzy estimates. The assessment of the security status of Internet sites as poorly formalized objects on the basis of fuzzy logic methods considered in the article is implemented in the form of technology for assessing the states of reliability of a web site. The proposed approach allows a more flexible adaptation to the particular problem and allows diagnosis object already in the step of calculating an integral index of reliability. Flexibility is achieved due to the fact that the state of reliability can be estimated At once on several reliability indicators.
Three-dimensional Face Reconstruction using 3D Morphable Model Fitting Method
Authors: H. Shaker Shaimaa , Abd Hamza Najlaa
Published: September 2018

In this paper, the reconstruction of faces in the form of a 3D model from unconstrained images (different in pose) has been studied. Three-dimensional Morphable Model(3DMM) Fitting method has been used in 3D reconstruction techniques. In this paper propose improvement of the 3DMM fitting procedure to get accurate 3D model by taking best 2D landmark of all images rather than taking only first 2D image landmark (traditional method which proposed by A.Bas et al). The results of the proposed algorithm show its very encouraging as far as execution time and quality of reconstruction as shown in compare the improvement fitting process with the traditional method.
Impact Evaluation of Remittances for Pakistan: Propensity Score Matching Approach
Authors: Rizwana Siddiqui
Published: September 2018

This study attempts to uncover the biases in the impact evaluation of remittances when the problems relating to selection bias and counter factual are not taken into account. Taking migration as an intervention and foreign remittances as an input, the study measures the socioeconomic impact using an approach which yields more accurate non-experimental estimates in self-select cases through multiple output and outcome indicators such as income, expenditure, saving, and capital accumulation which, directly and indirectly, affect households’ welfare, poverty incidence and growth prospects of a country. Using PIHS data, the study first calculates the difference in socioeconomic characteristics of treated or remittances beneficiary households (RBH) and control or remittances non-beneficiary households (NRBH) ignoring endogeneity and observable differences. Second, it calculates the propensity score and evaluates the impact using data from common support area for both RBH and NRBH households. Third, it evaluates the impact using the propensity score matching approach which replicates the experimental benchmark. The difference in the first and the third estimates reveals the bias originating from the issues of selection and difference in observable characteristics. The results show that after controlling for observable characteristics of households, regional difference, networking and applying the selection correction technique, the average impact of remittances is significantly reduced. A disaggregated analysis shows that the socioeconomic impact of remittances differs by the level of skills. The impact is significant for relatively low skilled poor households but for high skilled households it remains significant only in case of bank deposits. The paper concludes that estimates are biased upward if the selectivity issue and endogeniety problems are ignored which may lead to wrong policy implications.

Paul Krugman. End This Depression Now! New York, USA: W. W. Norton & Company. 2012. 288 pages. U.S. $ 15.95
Authors: Usman Qadir
Published: September 2018

In “End This Depression Now!” Krugman has tackled the economic recession that has plagued countries across the globe in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. In contrast to other books on the subject, however, the focus of the author is not on how the crisis and the resultant recession happened, but rather on the more pertinent question of what to do now and how to recover from the slump. Krugman is of the view that the aim should not be merely to avoid a complete collapse, as several economists and policy-makers seem content to do, but to address the “chronic condition of subnormal activity” of this recession and pursue a complete recovery. The author sets the stage by painting a bleak picture of the impact of the recession on the citizens of developed countries, countries rich in natural and human resources. There is a lack of jobs in these countries, as represented by a rising involuntary employment rate, and the author feels that lives have been ruined because the recession is lingering on, and because of that, unemployment is following suit. While temporary unemployment is a feature of a complex, dynamic economy, persistent unemployment erodes the employment prospects of workers in the post-recession period. Moreover, low business investment in the private sector and government investment in the public sector will have a detrimental effect on productive capacity in future years as older scrapped machinery is not replaced, and public sector programmes in education and health are scaled back.

ICT Operational Risk Management (ORM) and Performances of a Financial SME
Authors: A. Bayaga, S. Flowerday  , R. Piderit
Published: September 2018

This paper investigates the relationship between ICT operational risk management (ORM) and the performance of an SME. To achieve this, this research investigated five specific elements, namely: the principal causes of ICT ORM failure in an SME; change management requirements; characteristic(s) of business information; challenges posed by new ORM solutions; and evaluation models for understanding the value of ICT ORM in SMEs. Following a literature review, an electronic survey consisting of closed ended questions was developed. This was distributed at a financial company in the Eastern Cape and 107 responses were gathered. Factor analysis was used as a data reduction technique to reduce the large number of related variables to a more manageable number. The empirical evidence presented indicated that a significant proportion of the aforementioned variables have impact on the performance of an SME. Therefore, this paper indicates that there is a strategic impact of ICT ORM on SME performance. Keywords: SME Performance, Operational Risk Management, Information Communication Technology

The End of Multi-Fibre Arrangement and Firm Performance in the Textile Industry: New Evidence
Authors: Zara Liaqat
Published: September 2018

Using a sample of 321 textile and clothing companies for the years 1992 to 2010, this paper analyses the effect of quota phase-outs on firm-level efficiency in Pakistan following the end of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA). It highlights sectoral heterogeneity within the manufacturing industry as a result of MFA expiration. The empirical methodology uses the structural techniques proposed by Olley and Pakes (1996), and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) in order to take care of endogeneity in the estimation of production functions. The results differ for the two industries: MFA expiration lead to an increase in the average productivity of textile producing firms but a significant reduction in the mean productivity of clothing producers. We offer a number of explanations for this outcome, such as a change in the input and product mix, entry by non-exporters in the clothing sector, and sectoral differences in quality ladders. A number of crucial policy lessons can be drawn from the findings of this study.

Capital Inflows, Inflation, and the Exchange Rate Volatility: An Investigation for Linear and Nonlinear Causal Linkages
Authors: Abdul Rashid  , Fazal Husain
Published: September 2018

This paper empirically examines the effect of foreign capital inflows on domestic price levels, monetary expansion, and the exchange rate volatility for Pakistan using linear and nonlinear causality tests. The key message emerging from the analysis is that there is a significant inflationary impact of capital inflows, in particular during the period of surges in capital inflows. Specifically, we find evidence of a significant nonlinear Granger causality running from capital inflows to the change in domestic prices. We also show that domestic prices are nonlinearly caused (in Granger sense) by the growth of domestic debt and money supply-to-GDP ratio. Our results, however, suggest that the market interest rate and the nominal exchange rate do not have significant relationships with domestic prices. The findings suggest that there is a need to manage the capital inflows in such a way that they should neither create an inflationary pressure in the economy nor fuel the exchange rate volatility.

Mr Hasan Nawaz Tarar, Secretary Planning, Development and Reforms, Dr Asad Zaman, Dr Musleh ud Din, distinguished economists, members of the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) and the Pakistan Society of Development Economists, students, ladies and gentleman, it is indeed a great honour and privilege for me to open the PSDE’s Conference, which has become an annual feature of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. It offers us a great opportunity to deliberate on the challenges that our country is facing. Before I proceed with what I have to say, I would like to place on record my appreciation for the outgoialso ng Vice Chancellor of PIDE, Dr Musleh ud Din, who has provided leadership to PIDE and has been instrumental in arranging this Conference. I would also like to welcome Dr Asad Zaman as the new President of the PSDE and Vice Chancellor of PIDE. I hope that under his leadership PIDE will touch, In šāʾ Allāh, new heights and become a centre of excellence, not only in Pakistan but also in Asia. Being in a meeting of economists and a leading public sector economic think tank, I am reminded of an anecdote about an economist. A man was walking by a road in countryside where he saw a flock of sheep. He could not resist and said to the shepherd that he would like to make a bet on correctly guessing the number of sheep in the flock. He said to the shepherd that he would give him a hundred dollars if he were unable to guess correctly the exact number of sheep. But if he were right, the shepherd would give him one sheep from the flock. Shepherd thought that it was a huge flock, this person had to be crazy, so it was an easy hundred dollars and accepted the bet. Within a few minutes, the man said that these were nine hundred and eighty one sheep. The shepherd was surprised because the man was exactly right. He said he was man of his word and told the man to pick up any of the sheep. The man picked up a sheep and started to walk away. As he was walking away, the shepherd said he wanted to get even with the man and asked him to make another bet. He said that he could tell him exactly what his occupation was, to which the man agreed. He was from a far off place and thought there was no way the shepherd could guess his profession. The shepherd asked him if he were an economist from a government think tank. The man was greatly surprised because the shepherd was right. He asked the shepherd how was he able to guess his profession. The shepherd asked him to put down his dog first. The man had picked up shepherd’s dog instead of a sheep! I hope it is not the case here and hopefully we have economists who can not only count the sheep exactly but who can also pick sheep from the flock and not a dog.
