description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Τα τελοκύτταρα (παλαιότερα ονομάζονταν διάμεσα κύτταρα του Cajal) αποτελούν έναν κυτταρικό πληθυσμό του διάμεσου ιστού που έχει διερευνηθεί εκτενώς τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες και έχουν εντοπιστεί σχεδόν σε όλους τους ιστούς του σώματος. Βασικό τους γνώρισμα είναι οι μακριές αποφυάδες τους (τελοπόδια) ενώ φαίνεται ότι παρουσιάζουν διακριτά χαρακτηριστικά τόσο σε ιστολογικό όσο και σε ανοσοϊστοχημικό επίπεδο σε σχέση με τα υπόλοιπα κύτταρα του διάμεσου ιστού όπως οι ινοβλάστες. Παρουσιάζουν διακριτό ρόλο τόσο στην ομοιοστασία των ιστών σχηματίζοντας ειδικά τρισδιάστατα κυτταρικά δίκτυα όσο και στην αναγέννηση έπειτα από τραυματισμούς επάγοντας τη θρέψη και διαφοροποίηση των βλαστικών κυττάρων στις ¨φωλεές¨ των ιστών. Ένα από τα όργανα με μεγάλο όγκο επιστημονικών δεδομένων όσον αφορά τη συμμετοχή των τελοκυττάρων τις διάφορες παθοφυσιολογικές διεργασίες και τους κακοήθεις όγκους, είναι το δέρμα. Νόσοι όπως η Συστηματική Σκλήρυνση και το Βασικοκυτταρικό Καρκίνωμα, προσφέρουν ένα μοναδικό πρίσμα στους μελετητές ώστε να διευκρινίσουν τη συμμετοχή των τελοκυττάρων στον παθοφυσιολογικό μηχανισμό της νόσου, με βάση τις ιστολογικές αλλοιώσεις που εντοπίζουν, αλλά και τους πιθανούς στόχους θεραπείας που μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν στο μέλλον. Ταυτόχρονα όμως το ενδιαφέρον στρέφεται στη πιθανή συμβολή των τελοκυττάρων στην αναγέννηση ιστών που έχουν υποστεί βλάβες αλλά και ειδικότερα στη γήρανση.
description: Telocytes (formely known as interstitial cells of Cajal) are a cell population of the interstitial tissue that have been extensively investigated in recent decades and have been found in almost all of the body tissues. Their main characteristic is their long abscesses (telopodia), while the appear to present distsinct characteristics. Both at a histological and at a immunohistocheical level in relation to the rest of the interstitial tissue cells such as fibroblasts. They present a distinct role both in tissue homeostasis by forming special three-dimensional cellular networks and in regeneration after injuries by inducing the growth and differentiation of stem cells in tissue nests. One of the organs with a large volume of scientific data regarding the involvement of telocytes in various pathophysiological diseases. And malignant tumors, is the skin. Diseases such as Systemic Sclerosis and Basal Cell Carscinoma offer a unique scope for researchers to elucidate the involvement of telocytes in the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease, ased on the histological changes they identify, but also the potential treatment targets that can be utilized in the future. At the same time, interest is focused on the possible contribution of telocytes to the regeneration of tissues that have been damaged, especially in aging.
Developments in electric arc furnace steelmaking
Creators: name: Brooks, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, the growth of EAF steelmaking and the corresponding push for improved productivity and lower energy usage, has seen a blurring of the boundary between oxygen and electric steelmaking and a departure from the pure batch processing operating philosophy associated with early EAF steelmaking. These developments include hot heel operation, continuous feeding, oxygen injection, preheating and post combustion. This paper provides an overview of developments in EAF steelmaking in the last twenty years, critically evaluates the current state of the technology and discusses the future of EAF steelmaking.

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη εστιάζει στη συγκριτική ανάλυση των δερματοσκοπικών χαρακτηριστικών λοιμωδών και φλεγμονωδών δερματικών νοσημάτων μεταξύ παιδιών και ενηλίκων. Ο κύριος στόχος είναι η διερεύνηση των διαφορών και των ομοιοτήτων στα δερματοσκοπικά ευρήματα, με στόχο τη βελτίωση της διαγνωστικής ακρίβειας και την προσαρμογή των θεραπευτικών προσεγγίσεων. Τα λοιμώδη νοσήματα, που προκαλούνται από παθογόνους μικροοργανισμούς όπως βακτήρια, ιοί και μύκητες, και οι φλεγμονώδεις διαταραχές, που σχετίζονται συχνά με ανοσολογικές αντιδράσεις, παρουσιάζουν διαφορετικές κλινικές και δερματοσκοπικές εκδηλώσεις ανάλογα με την ηλικία. Η μελέτη αναδεικνύει τη σημασία της δερματοσκόπησης ως μη επεμβατικής μεθόδου για τη διάγνωση αυτών των παθήσεων. Τα ευρήματα υπογραμμίζουν τις ηλικιακές διαφορές στη φυσιολογία του δέρματος και στην εκδήλωση των νοσημάτων, προτείνοντας εξατομικευμένες διαγνωστικές και θεραπευτικές στρατηγικές.
description: This study focuses on the comparative analysis of dermatoscopic features of infectious and inflammatory skin diseases between children and adults. The primary objective is to investigate differences and similarities in dermatoscopic findings, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and adapt therapeutic approaches. Infectious diseases, caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and inflammatory disorders, often linked to immunological reactions, exhibit distinct clinical and dermatoscopic manifestations depending on age. The study highlights the importance of dermatoscopy as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing these conditions. The findings emphasize age-related differences in skin physiology and disease presentation, proposing personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
title: There is no 'off' switch: exploring bilingualism's impact on brain function and cognition as a continuously experienced cognitive challenge
Creators: name: Sheehan, Alex
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: The effects of bilingualism on the brain are often investigated in isolation, despite brain structure, 
function, and cognition being interdependent factors. The cognitive effects of bilingualism are 
often inconsistent, suggesting that the tasks used may not be sensitive enough to measure its 
impact effectively. This thesis aimed to bridge the gap between the cognitive and functional 
effects of bilingualism using elements of task-free and task-based experimental designs. A 
literature review revealed that the cognitive effects of bilingualism occur in two primary domains: 
language and executive function, which are supported by functional networks containing 
overlaps in the brain regions involved. Using a task-driven resting-state electroencephalography 
design, a continuous measure of bilingualism, and non-linear statistics, we conducted three
studies to investigate the impact of the demands of separate cognitive domains and bilingual 
experience on functional connectivity. The first study examines bilingual brain function at rest and 
following a domain-general artificial grammar learning task and found whole-brain bilingualism�modulated post-task connectivity, including greater posterior and left temporal connectivity at 
higher levels of bilingualism. The second study examines the impact of task demands in the 
language domain, finding that level of bilingualism significantly impacts connectivity between left 
hemisphere language network regions. Finally, the third study assessed the impact of executive 
function domain task demands, revealing bilingualism-induced modulations to connections
from occipital to central and temporal regions. The results of these studies show differential 
bilingualism-induced modulations to functional connectivity by cognitive domain. Overall, this 
thesis highlights the importance of cognitive context on bilingual brain function, leading to 
modulations in connectivity dependent on the task demands. Crucially, the results revealed that 
bilingualism also impacts neural reorganisation in the short-term, and that these adaptations are 
often non-linear in nature. These findings are discussed regarding their implications for current 
models and theories in the field.

description: Goldfish maintained in water temperatures of 18°C or 31°C received active avoidance training in a shuttlebox. Subjects housed in warm water acquired the response more quickly than those in cold water. A photophobic response in warm water may have affected acquisition rates. Subjects were tested for retention of the avoidance response after 10 minutes, 2.5 hours, 24 hours, or 72 hours. No significant evidence of the Kamin effect was found. A second study investigated shock threshold levels as a function of temperature levels. Cold water was found to lower the threshold level at which a motor reaction to electric shock was observed. The relevance of these findings for studies concerned with memory processes in goldfish is discussed.

Subsistenzkrise und Rebellion: Eine Kritik der "Moral Economy" bäuerlicher Gesellschaften
Creators: name: Hartmann, Jörg
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The critique of the 'Moral Economy' of peasant societies continues a controversy within the Economic Anthropology of the fifties and sixties between 'Substantivists' and 'Formalists' , although on a slightly different level: the present contradiction is centred on the effectiveness of social norms versus the strength of individual decision-making in peasant societies. This controversy is represented by two authors: James C. Scott, the 'Moral Economist' and Samuel L. Popkin, the Political Economist. Both approaches focus on the relationship between economic and social institutions and the impact of change in peasant societies. Popkin, however, emphasizes the difficulties faced by village communities in maintaining and (re-)enforcing these institutions during times of rapid social and economic change. He challenges the effectiveness of norms of equilibrium which are thought to be based on a 'Subsistence Ethic' and defined by requirements of reproduction within the whole village community. He states that modern capitalist market forces, as they have been experienced by peasant societies for quite some decades now, are not always, and not by all members of the community, seen as threatening their social and economic well-being and security, in other words their ' subsistence' . Peasants are, in fact, frequently responding to modem market forces in perfectly modern, 'rational' ways, calculating and balancing risks and benefits. Furthermore, threats on subsistence margins, that is, the danger of being forced below a 'subsistence floor' , do not neccessarily lead to peasant rebellion because such forms of collective action are difficult to organise where personal interests, gain or loss are at stake. Popkin suggests that in rapidly changing rural societies, much more attention should be given to mechanisms of individual decision-making.

To Cut or Not to Cut? Price Comparisons of Bulls and Steers in Tennessee

subject: Tennessee

description: Most cattle producers market their calves through a local livestock auction facility. When marketing through a sale barn, many of the marketing aspects cannot be controlled or managed by the cattle producer. For instance, cattle producers do not control the volume of buyers or the quantity of cattle marketed that day. A producer can, however, control sale location, sale timing and at what weight they choose to sell calves. Another controllable factor that may influence price and profitability is the choice of a producer to sell male calves/feeder cattle as steers or as bull calves. If bull calves are not intended to be kept as herdsire prospects, a producer has the choice to castrate them or leave them as intact calves at the time of marketing. The decision to cut a male could be based upon age of the calf and/or the method that the producer chooses to utilize for castration. The decision leaves producers with a common question, “Does cutting calves increase revenue?” This publication aims to help producers answer that question.
Ethnozentrismus und die Rationalität traditionaler Gesellschaften
Creators: name: Seeland, Klaus
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Ethnocentrism has dominated the attitude towards alien cultures throughout the ages. This attitude changed when the economic development of the Western hemisphere needed a twofold negative image of non-European societies. On the one hand the image of savages to be developed in exchange for natural resources and on the other hand the image of Oriental despotism that Montesquieu used against Physiocratism and late French absolutism. French bourgeois Liberalism of the 18th and German Idealism of the 19th century, as well as British Social Anthropology and American Cultural Anthropology regarded alien cultures as objects for philosophy, for anthropological documentation and not as realities ’sui generis’ . If one regards alien cultures from their point of view and through their own rational one gains knowledge about the self-definition, the ends and self-determined limits of an autochthonus society. If we take myths of archaic societies, we can see how social life is determined by them, preventing the divine cosmology to be altered by changing the traditional technologies and values leading to social change. The history of technology and civilization in traditional China shows that the world view of Taoism is able to integrate new scientific knowledge concerning technological development, but every change must be for the welfare of the state, i. e. the state concept of general equality under the rule of central governmental power. These two examples show that real ethnocentrism stagnates in its own limits when one considers the rationales of traditional cosmology. Only the less ethnocentric Western world view evoked a paradigm of action-oriented rationales, using alien cultures as resources for its own constant technological and social change.

description: Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to net zero emissions, strong, sustainable resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.
This record contains geological notes on layered geology interpretation of twenty-nine 1:250 000 Sheet areas in eastern Queensland. The geology maps generated as part of this work were not released as a separate product but incorporated into the national layered geology product of Sanchez et al. (2024). There are five layers interpreted; pre-Neoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Preparation of these layers involved figuratively peeling off successively older rocks and identifying and outlining the rocks thereby revealed. The notes provide comments on the rocks comprising each layer, and explain how the identity of the revealed rocks was arrived at where this is not obvious. The Cenozoic time slice was extracted from the 1:1 000 000 scale outcrop geology (Raymond et al., 2012) after removing the surficial deposits and without further interpretation.

Evaluation of the Investment Climate of Developing Economies
Creators: name: Karunaratne, Neil Dias
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This study presents a model for appraising the investment climate of developing economies with a view to reconciliating the conflicting goals of multinational corporations (MNCs) and host countries. The study is based on the premise that foreign direct investment is awin:win proposition for both MNCs and host countries. The limitations of conventional approaches to risk analysis, based on narrow commercial or beta risk, and much broader alpha or political risk criteria are identified. The case for refinement of conventional techniques and the formulation of structured systematic alternative methods is presented. The short- and long-term factors in a country's investment climate appraisal are identified. An algebraic exposed and empirical validation of the model for investment climate appraisal is detailed in the ASEAN context. It is contended that the model can be operationalised for a larger sample of developing countries using readily available published data.

Multinationals in Less Developed Countries: A Case Study of Drug Multinationals in India
Creators: name: Kumar, Nagesh
name: Chenoy, Kamal Mitra
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: India, like other less developed countries, welcomed MNCs, with the belief that they would help India industrialize by supplementing local savings, bringing in technology and foreign exchange for the import of necessary capital goods etc. This paper attempts to examine the extent to which the above expectations of the government of India were realized, with the help of a case study of the drug and pharmaceutical industry. The empirical analysis presented in the paper reveals that basic interest as well as the strength of MNCs' operations in this supposedly technology-intensive industry is in marketing and not in research and development. Drug MNCs have concentrated more on the production of low technology formulations and over-the-counter luxury items than on high technology and life saving bulk drugs. They have been found to be hampering the indigenous development of technology. Far from supplementing domestic savings, drug MNCs have utilized local capital resources to strengthen their stranghold over the industry. Finally, the operations of MNCs were found to have a markedly adverse impact on India's balance of payments, contrary to earlier expectations. MNCs have also been found to be indulging in unauthorised imports and in transfer pricing to the detriment of Indian interests. On the basis of the above case study, therefore, it would appear that for the LDCs MNCs are a bane not a boon.

description: By combining surface brightness profiles from images taken in the HST/NICMOS F160W and ground-based K bands, we have obtained NIR profiles for a well studied sample of inclined disk galaxies, spanning radial ranges from 20 pc to a few kpc. We fit PSF-convolved Sersic-plus-exponential laws to the profiles, and compare the results with the fits to the ground-based data alone. HST profiles show light excesses over the best-fit Sersic law in the inner sim1 arcsec. This is often as a result of inner power-law cusps similar to the inner profiles of intermediate-luminosity elliptical galaxies.
THE MEDIATING ROLE OF IGBO TRADITIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM IN THE REHABILITATION OF STREET CHILDREN
Creators: name: Associate professor Bernadette, U. Menkiti
Publisher: name: AMERICA SERIEL JOURNAL
Year: 2024
Subjects: Igbo traditional, social security, rehabilitation

description: The title of this paper is the mediating role of Igbo traditional social security system (ITSSS) in the rehabilitation of street children.  People of all cultures cherish their children and envisage a proper upbringing for them. The Igbo nation also desire healthy socialization and education of their children. The socialization and education may be undertaken by either the immediate family or by the extended family members and this defines the, communal life of the Igbo. As a result of this, the Igbo traditional Social Security, System was put in place to help out families that were faced with the risks accruing from poverty, ill health, disability, loss of job and so on. Along the line, some social factors disrupted this communal bond and its disintegration started to the point that stranded children from poor homes could find no help any more outside their stranded family. So these children finding no help any more, drift into the street and lives as street children. The study took place in Onitsha South and Onitsha North L.G.As, to find out whether rehabilitation exercise can help bring street children out of street life. Eighty six street children, 76 males and 10 females were interviewed, also interviewed were 42 adult male beneficiaries of ITSSS. Three research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The study made use of mixed descriptive survey design as oral interview was made us of Availability sampling technique was used to collect data from respondents. Three set of interview schedules were constructed and used. Analysis of data was done using percentages, means and standard deviation. T-test was used to test the two null hypotheses. The results of t-test showed that in hypothesis number one is no significant difference between the mean scores of male and female street children on the extent ITSSS can mediate in the rehabilitation of street children. The result of number two hypothesis showed that there is significant difference between the mean scores of street children and those of adult beneficiaries on the extent ITSSS can mediate in the rehabilitation of street children. Discussion, conclusion and recommendations were made at the end of the study

description: Objective: To determine whether a decision aid on benign prostatic hypertrophy influences decision making, health outcomes, and resource use. Design: Randomised controlled trial. Setting: 33 general practices in the United Kingdom. Participants: 112 men with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Intervention: Patients' decision aid consisting of an interactive multimedia programme with booklet and printed summary. Outcome measures: Patients' and general practitioners' perceptions of who made the decision, decisional conflict scores, treatment choice and prostatectomy rate, American Urological Association symptom scale, costs, anxiety, utility, and general health status. Results: Both patients and general practitioners found the decision aid acceptable. A higher proportion of patients (32% v 4%; mean difference 28%, 95% confidence interval 14% to 41%) and their general practitioners (46% v 25%; 21%, 3% to 40%) perceived that treatment decisions had been made mainly or only by patients in the intervention group compared with the control group. Patients in the intervention group had significantly lower decisional conflict scores than those in the control group at three months (2.3 v 2.6; ?0.3, ?0.5 to ?0.1, P<0.01) and this was maintained at nine months. No differences were found between the groups for anxiety, general health status, prostatic symptoms, utility, or costs (excluding costs associated with the video disc equipment). Conclusions: The decision aid reduced decisional conflict in men with benign prostatic hypertrophy, and the patients played a more active part in decision making. Such programmes could be delivered cheaply by the internet, and there are good arguments for coordinated investment in them, particularly for conditions in which patient utilities are important.
Schwellenländer und internationales System: Zum Einfluß von Imperialismus, Ost-West-Konflikt und Neoimperialismus im Prozeß nachholender Entwicklung Ostasiens
Creators: name: Menzel, Ulrich
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: If we divide the former "Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere" into an inner area, i.e. the territories brought under Japanese control before 1932, and an outer area, i.e. those brought under Japanese control before 1942, we see that only those of the inner area (North and South Korea, Manchuria, Taiwan) have the characteristics of threshold countries. The countries of the outer area, essentially identical with the present-day ASEAN group, have, on the other hand, all the characteristics of peripheral economies. Within the inner area there are, on the one hand, countries whose development was accompanied by a clear political and economic dissociation from the world system and, on the other hand, countries which attempt conscious integration into that world system. Hence, the foreign trade strategy in itself is not an adequate explanation but rather a variable conditioned by the social system and requiring the addition of other factors. The nature of Japanese imperialism in this inner area has meant that the foundations were laid for agricultural development and industrialization which after the end of colonial rule could be converted into developmental potential. This did not apply to the outer area, either because the Japanese rule lasted for only a short time or, as in the later ASEAN countries, Japanese activities were more akin to robbery than systematic colonization. Social upheaval in China and Korea led to internal flight of capital and of the elites, and a corresponding concentration of both in the non-socialist parts of these countries. The East-West conflict also led to a concentration of international capital and advisors. Nevertheless, we are still faced with the fact that similar strategies and the influx of foreign capital have not led elsewhere to comparable results. Therefore, we have to search for internal causes. A factor of major importance is that of the agricultural reforms which are radical compared with other third-world countries. Although such reforms have been engendered by competition between political systems, in Taiwan they have led largely to further modernization of agriculture and subsequent agroindustrialization. In contrast to statements which equate world market integration per se with imperialism and development blockades, the instances in East Asia show that development is possible underworld market associative as well as dissociative strategies; furthermore, world-market integration (for example, Indonesia) and extensive dissociation (as in the case of Burma) can also accompany typical underdevelopment profiles. This finding should lead to a greater concentration of development theory on the internal production of world-market associative as well as dissociative strategies.

description: This article outlines shortcomings of currently-used university admissions tests, and discusses ways in which they could potentially be improved, summarizing two projects designed to enhance college and university admissions. The projects were inspired by the augmented theory of successful intelligence, which postulates that intelligence comprises creative skills in generating novel ideas, analytical skills in discerning whether they are good ideas, practical skills in implementing the ideas and persuading others of their worth, and wisdom-based skills in ensuring that one uses one’s knowledge and abilities in the service of a common good. In the Rainbow Project, it was possible to substantially increase prediction of first-year university academic performance and simultaneously reduce ethnic-group differences on a predictive test, relative to a standardized test used for admissions in the United States. In the Kaleidoscope Project, students admitted for expanded skills performed as well as other students, without the ethnic-group differences typically obtained in such measures. Enhanced prediction of active-citizenship and leadership activities is also demonstrated through these measures. Both projects show that it is possible to apply the theory of successful intelligence in ways that enhance the college and university admissions process. Limitations of the projects are discussed.
E-social capital: building community through electronic networks

description: Despite the extensive rhetoric of governments, business and the not for profit sector regarding “community”, “community development” and “community well being”, there is little consensus about what “community” really means, let alone how it might be examined and assessed. Talking about electronic communities or online communities merely adds another layer of complexity to the issue. This paper sets out to examine some of the elements which make up community and communities, and assess the potential for new electronic media to contribute to the health and well being of social groups. We draw on the concept of social capital as a way of thinking about the complex interaction of elements which contribute to the functioning of communities, and explore some implications for the communities which occupy cyberspace.

description: This study looks into the relationship between self-esteem, body image, and achievement motivationwith a sample of 180 individuals. Data were gathered using methods to measure self-esteem and body imagein relation to achievement motivation and were analysed with standardized tools such as Rosenberg self -esteem, Body self- image questionnaire, Achievement motivation. Descriptive statistics show thatparticipants self-reported their level of self-esteem (M = 15.21, SD = 3.374) and body image (M = 73.54,SD = 18.676) as well as their level of achievement motivation (M = 12.81, SD = 2.173). There is a strongpositive correlation between self-esteem and body image as self-esteem increases, self-reported body imagealso increases (r = .534, p < .001). Self-reported body image also has a weak but significant positivecorrelation with achievement motivation (r = .159, p = .033), which points towards the motivation-increasingeffects of having a positive perception of one’s body. Self-esteem does not have a significant directcorrelation with achievement motivation (r = .120, p = .107), meaning self-esteem alone does not stronglypredict motivation. Body image was found to have an effect on motivation, and this signals that there is aneed for programs aimed at adjusting people’s perception of their body and the social contexts whichenhance motivation.

Console games in the age of convergence
Creators: name: Finn, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, I discuss the development of the games console as a converged form, focusing on the industrial and technical dimensions of convergence. Starting with the decline of hybrid devices like the Commodore 64, the paper traces the way in which notions of convergence and divergence have infl uenced the console gaming market. Special attention is given to the convergence strategies employed by key players such as Sega, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and the success or failure of these strategies is evaluated.

The Declining Competitiveness of the Taiwanese Products in the German Market

description: This paper examines the trade relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and Taiwan and tries to gauge the competitiveness of the Taiwanese products on the German market. The remarkable economic growth in Taiwan in the past two decades has to a great extent been attributed to the increase in its exports to the overseas markets, of which the German market has been the most important one (second only to the United States). Among the factors which have contributed to its growth in exports are (a) overall growth, (b) commodity composition and (c) competitiveness. To quantitatively measure them, use has been made of the constant market share model. Our results reveal that since the early sixties the growth rate of the German imports from Taiwan has been steadily falling, something which can be almost fully explained by the declining competitiveness of the Taiwanese products. In the early sixties, their strong competitiveness accounted for almost 89 % of the increase in the German imports from Taiwan. However, since then the figure has been consistently diminishing and by 1980 it stood at the level of some 24 % only. Therefore the gradual reduction in the quantity of the German imports from Taiwan was essentially due to the declining competitiveness of the Taiwanese products, in other words, due to the vanishing advantage which these products used to enjoy in Taiwan's early stage of industrialization. The extent to which the growth effect has increased corresponds roughly to the decline in competitiveness, implying that Taiwan's exports were highly vulnerable to economic fluctuations in Germany. Finally, commodity composition has been persistently negative and this negative effect demonstrated the disadvantages of a newly industrialized country in its trade with an advanced industrialized country. They export predominantly cheap labour - intensive consumer goods, which are subject to low income and price elasticities as well as keen competition, and also to high non-tariff barriers. A number of factors are responsible for the declining competitiveness. Besides the lack of technological innovation, two other major factors have been identified as the most serious culprits: firstly, the rising wage rates which were set in motion after the disguised unemployment existing in the agricultural sector was exhausted, and secondly, the rising costs of energy which have plagued the world since the first oil shock.

The dynamic stability analysis of induction generators

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Induction generators can be used to supply power either in an isolated system or connected to the grid. The continuity of generation of power during disturbances depends on the availability of magnetic flux in the core, which is proportional to the exciting current, and the mechanical input power. The stability analysis of synchronous generators in power systems has been well established. However, the stability analysis of induction generators during disturbances is not well documented. This paper deals with the stability analysis of different induction generator schemes for grid-connected as well as isolated system applications during electrical and/or mechanical disturbances.
