title: A study in Serbocroat accent and intonation.
Creators: name: De Bray, R. G. A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1958

description: Serbocroat is a language the accent of which is a combination of expiratory stress, length and. a rising or falling tone. There are certain differences of accent between the language of educated people in Belgrade and Zagreb; and this is a study of the Belgrade variety of the language. Although the accents of individual words have been studied for a long time, no thorough study has yet been made of the sentence intonations of the language. The present work first sets out to define, by the broadest criteria, the main, sentence intonations of the language, and then to find out whether the individual word tones are always realized! in. the same way under different circumstances in various kinds of statements and questions. Certain words are selected as test words or 'inserenda', and these are then alternately placed in a selected set of statements and questions ('frames') initially, medially and finally, both prominent in pronunciation and unstressed. These sentences were recorded from the reading of a representative speaker on a tape recorder, and later the oscillograms of these recordings and special new pitch recordings ('tonograms') were made concurrently on the oscillograph and photographed with a high speed camera. The full text of the frames and their translations is various possibilities of spoken Serbian, The photographs of the 'tono-oscillograms' are then given with the part marked which is of special significance to us. Below each is given the corresponding text in the (very accurate) Serbian orthography, the analysis of the example and a report of observations Graphic and comparative summaries of these observations follow. The conclusions show that while the accents are often realized in a form agreeing with their traditional description, certain factors, viz, the superimposition of question intonation, final and initial position of the inserendum in the sentence, and its relative prominence cause different or contrary realizations for the four separate accents. These are differently affected by the above four factors, the two falling accents having a markedly different set, of phonetic exponents from the two rising accents. But each member of these two pairs differs from the other, because of their inherent differences of length. Thus for each accent one arrives at a different scatter of results with a given, set of frames and therefore it is true to say that though sometimes a certain pair of accenets may be realized identically, they are nevertheless distinct because of the different scatter of the overall results. The appendices consist of the tape-recordings, the photographs of the tono-oscillograms, translations of two important passages on the accents by Vuk Karadzic, and recordings of continuous passages by way of illustration, and translations of the quotations given from works in the Slavonic languages. A bibliography concludes the work.

title: The Buddhist Church in Burma during the Pagan period, 1044-1287.
Creators: name: Than Tun, Maung
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1955

description: Buddhism as introduced from Ramannadesa to Pagan after Aniruddha's conquest of lower Burma, in A.D.1057 has been believed to be a pure Theravada form. Using largely epigraphic sources, this thesis proves this theory false. It also produces some evidences as to the presence of bhikkhuni - female ascetics - in the Order right up to the end of the Pagan dynasty whereas the tradition in Barma says that no woman was allowed in the Order since A.D.456. It also tries to solve the problem of the Ari whom the chronicles allege to practise jus primae noctis. Dr. C. Daroiselle connects them with Tantric Buddhism. The Ari sect or Arannavasi came into existence only in the second quarter of the thirteenth century and it was never officially suppressed. In fact it gained popular support right till the end of the Pagan dynasty. The orthodox group so tight assistance from Ceylon to arrest the sweeping success of Mahakassapa and his Arannavasi monks. This thesis also gives the architectural style of the period as described in the inscriptions. Slaves figured as an important social group in those days and therefore a chapter is entirely devoted to them. On the political aspect of the period, an almost completely new picture of the Pagan monarchy is given here. The names of the kings are in Old Burmese forms but identified. The administrative system of the period, is described as fully as possible. These form chapters one, two and three.

title: Human rights in Tanzania: The role of the judiciary.
Creators: name: Ruhangisa, John Eudes
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This thesis examines the performance of the Tanzanian judiciary in enforcing human rights both during the colonial period and after independence. The study focuses on the period after the enshrinement of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, in 1985. The aim of this work is to appraise both the present attitude of the judiciary and the reaction of the government to court decisions relating to human rights issues. In order to achieve this I conducted a six months field study in Tanzania during which I examined more than a hundred cases (the majority unreported) and interviewed a large number of people involved with the administration of justice. The conclusion we draw from this research is that the government's reluctance to amend its laws to bring them into conformity with the Bill of Rights, underscores the need for judicial activism in Tanzania. It is a disservice to human rights for the majority of Tanzanian judges to adopt a positivist approach which prevents meaningful developments of human rights. Paradoxically, despite this conservatism, the government's attitude towards court decisions remains distrustful. Without a change in the attitude of both the courts and the government towards human rights, the Bill of Rights in the Constitution may not serve any meaningful purpose. Thus this thesis serves to remind both the Tanzanian judiciary, and the executive, of their obligation to protect individual fundamental rights. After four chapters dealing with the administration of justice prior to the enshrinement of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, chapters five and six examine respectively, the relevant courts decisions in criminal and civil matters. Chapter seven considers the government's response to these judicial decisions and chapter eight contains our conclusions and also makes recommendations as to the way forward.

title: A history of Chinese perceptions of "Jews" and Judaism.
Creators: name: Zhou, Xun
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: While prejudice against Jews has been regarded as a real and ongoing category in Western culture, little attention has been paid to the myths of the 'Jews' and their impact in countries outside the West. My work draws on a wide variety of source material from the past two centuries to examine the images of the 'Jews' as constructed in China. However, my interest here does not lie in the determination of the boundary between the real and fictional aspects of these images. Rather, it lies in the implications associated with the 'Jew' as an 'other', which remains a distant mirror in the construction of the 'self ' amongst various social groups in modern China. In China, representations of the 'Jews' and Judaism are very complex. Although these representations seem to correspond to images of the 'Jews' in Europe, it would be superficial to reduce them to purely 'Western influence'. Representations of the 'Jews' have been endowed with indigenous meaning by modernizing elites since the late nineteenth-century. Unlike anti-Semites of Europe who used the language of Jews as the mark of their inferiority, in China the difference of the 'Jews' has been marked by their 'non-Chineseness'. By creating the 'Jews' as a homogenous group, which acts as a constitutive outsider which embodies all the negative, as well as positive qualities, which were feared or desired by various social groups in China, theses Chinese could thus identify themselves as a integrated reference group: a homogenous 'in-group'. They are thus able to project their own anxieties onto outsiders like the 'Jews'. In this respect, it corresponds to a widespread fear, as well as need of an 'other', which can be found in many cultures and societies. The present thesis does not, however, supply the final answer. It is meant to be a historical study in order to point out that the prejudice about the 'Jews' is not merely a 'western problem', it exists in China. It therefore opens a field for general and wider discussions, not only about the 'Jews', but also about other 'marginalised' groups, such as 'blacks' and 'homosexuals'.
title: Healing rituals as an expression of religious thought among the Mpangu (of the Democratic Republic of the Congo-Kinshasa).
Creators: name: Kitewo, Marie-Angèle
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: The main objective of this thesis is to explore several selected healing rituals performed by the Mpangu people with the purpose of elaborating aspects of their religious thought. The thesis is composed of two parts. The first, comprising four chapters, is a detailed description-interpretation of four healing rituals: Kiziku, Nyka-N'kawu, Kuboonda and the Sunday Worship ritual of Dibuundu di Mpeeve a N'loongo (the Church of the Holy Spirit). The account of each healing ritual is followed by a commentary which is a kind of second reading of the ritual, providing appropriate explanation of keywords and the specific cultural context of the ritual. The second part of the thesis, comprising two chapters, is a comparative analysis of the four healing rituals which identifies the elements common to the rituals and the religious concepts expressed in them. Most fundamental among these concepts is the idea that the well being of the living community is dependent upon harmony with the ancestors, and other "spiritual entities", who reside in an invisible "other world". Communication between the inhabitants of these two worlds, and the maintenance of appropriate reciprocal relationships among them, are seen to be essential to the maintenance of this harmony. From another perspective, it can be said that the existence of illness, death and misfortune indicates that this essential harmony has been eroded, and the healing rituals provide the appropriate context and actions through which proper relationships with the ancestors and other spiritual entities can be restored.

title: Litigating in the names of the people : Stresses and strains of the development of public interest litigation in Bangladesh.
Creators: name: Ahmed, Naim
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This thesis examines the development of public interest litigation (PIL) in Bangladesh from a constitutional perspective. PIL seeks to ensure accountability on the part of those in power, and socio-economic and collective justice for the general public, by giving priority of public interest over individual or special interests. Considering the socio-economic realities of Bangladesh, there is a huge potential for PIL to aid the poor, the deprived and the un-represented. In Bangladesh, the development of PIL began to accelerate after the fall of the last autocratic regime in 1990. The Supreme Court has gradually reinterpreted the Constitution in favour of PIL. Socio-economic and collective justice principles of the Constitution, it has been declared, not only inspire but mandate a PIL approach. However, the development of PIL in Bangladesh has not been a justice-focused grass-root movement. The thesis argues that the use of PIL in Bangladesh has been dominated by an elite whose main concern continues to be the redistribution of power in the aftermath of the autocratic rule.We analyse the use of PIL by the elite from several perspectives. First, the conceptual and constitutional basis of PIL, as expounded by the Bangladeshi courts, emphasises people's power rather than social justice. Second, the gradual progress of PIL cases demonstrates how it has been influenced by its close connection with recent constitutional and democratic developments. Third, the development of the rules of public interest standing illustrates the negative effects of the use of PIL by the elite for their own purposes. Fourth, analysis of relevant constitutional provisions demonstrates the extent of success of the attempts by constitutional activists to redefine power-relations through PIL, raising the question whether such attempts actually benefited the general public.The present thesis analyses the process of recognition of PIL as an integrated feature of the Bangladeshi law and argues that the use of the techniques of PIL by the elite to participate in the power-relations debate has actually undermined the much-needed focus on social and economic justice for the poor and the deprived.
title: Foreign trade policy reform in China.
Creators: name: Huang, Jingbo
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: Along with its domestic economic transition, China has carried out a series of reforms in foreign trade and achieved significant policy changes. This thesis shows that China's export policies moved from strong government incentives to a state of market competition while import policies were switched from strict controls to significant liberalisation. In particular, the intensive trade policy reform in the 1990s demonstrated that China has been moving closer to trade liberalisation in line with most international trade practices. Besides providing a comprehensive and updated account of China's trade policy reforms, this thesis contributes to understanding of the field by arguing that: (1) Unlike the trade policy reforms in some other countries, China seems to be a unique case due to its special economic and political conditions, its exclusive reform targets, its cautious reform approach, as well as its sensitive position in the world economy. (2) Econometric tests carried out in this study showed that China's trade policy reforms have been effective, although not all of them were optimal. China's move towards freer trade is thus shown to be the right choice for the economy and is consistent with the view that trade can positively promote growth. (3) China has followed a path of gradual reform with strong government intervention. Given the undeniable achievements and the special natures of trade policy reform, China's experience implies that the route to trade liberalisation can be varied and must be adapted to the specific conditions in the reforming country. (4) Trade liberalisation in China has been less conspicuous in terms of reform measures (for example, tariff reductions) made in the past reform period, due mainly to the incompleteness of the market economy. (5) The biggest challenge facing China is still how to combine trade liberalisation and government intervention, in order to establish a "socialist free trade system". Continuous emphasis on government control may contain the risk obstructing a sustained trade policy reform. China needs to adopt a "market-first" reform strategy to complete the establishment of a full-functioning market economy. The concept of "Chinese characteristics" can only be well-developed in market systems rather than in making use of the market forces on the basis of a government regulated economy. The reforms in the past years have provided a foundation for China to go further towards trade liberalisation. China could, and should, move faster toward trade liberalisation.
title: Politics of mass literacy in India : A case study of two North Indian villages under the 'Total Literacy Campaign', 1988-95.
Creators: name: Kumar, Ajay
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: This project is a study of the politics of mass literacy in India. It sets the problem of literacy in the context of public discourses, institutional practices and formation of various identities related to educational and development goals in contemporary Indian society. The study is centered around specific case studies of two villages under the 'Total Literacy Campaign' (TLC) launched nationwide in May 1988 by the National Literacy Mission Authority (NLMA). Despite marginal improvement in literacy rates since independence, there has been a steady increase in the absolute number of total 'illiterates', which is bigger than the size of 'literates'. Also the gap between 'literates' and 'illiterates' has been ever- increasing. The government admits its failures towards mass education and hence now it has declared promotion of literacy as a national mission. To counter its past failures, it has launched a 'total campaign' approach in adult literacy programme along with 'Education For All' (EFA) goal in general towards elementary education. Thus this project is a study of the pedagogic principles, practice and public policy on promotion mass education and literacy in India. It seeks to study the cultural and linguistic bases of mass literacy and the democratic i.e. participatory and interactive/discursive methods of literacy promotion. The study is based on new socio-cultural approaches to language, discourse-learning, identity and culture (Introduction, Chapter 1). It is an interdisciplinary study in literacy practices (language and discourse learning) whose development is traced with colonial history of social, political and educational development in north India (Chapters 2&3). It traces these developments beginning with nationalist thinking on nation-building, mass literacy and education during the freedom movement before 1947 (Chapter 2), and the evolution of public policy goals on education and its culture after 1947 (Chapter 3). It looks into why highest 'illiteracy' exists in the Hindi- speaking states and how adequately our educational planners have addressed these complex problems. The policy principles and institutional practices in learning are further examined in case studies of two villages in Bihar and Haryana (Chapters 4&5). TLC's pedagogic principles, practices and relevance as seen and understood by learners are examined in order to establish the real contexts of a learning. This is also done through a concrete area of language and content analysis of the TLC reading materials, the way TLC Primers (texts) have been presented to the learners and the ways these texts are interacted with, by the adult learners (Chapter 6). We thus endeavour to establish the issue of literacy-leaming in terms of survival, cultural and identity needs of the learner. All these discussions are primarily based on adult learners' and concerned people's historical, social, and classroom experiences.
title: Zhang Tianyi: Critical analysis of his development as a writer of fiction.
Creators: name: Bedford, Nigel St. John
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1986

description: Born in 1906 in Nanjing, Zhang began writing in his teens for "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly" magazines in Shanghai. After 1929, he wrote short stories, middle-length stories, novels and two plays, all in a realistic style. The eighty-odd short stories Zhang wrote between 1929 and 1938 provided the basis for his reputation as a writer of fiction in the pre-liberation period. After 1938, Zhang concentrated on writing literary criticism and theory and after contracting tuberculosis in 1942 he all but stopped writing. Upon the establishment of the Communist republic in 1949 Zhang was assigned to several posts in the literary leadership and wrote a few didactic works for children as well as theoretical and critical articles. He wrote nothing of note after 1960 and his health deteriorated after suffering a stroke in 1975. Zhang died on 28 April, 1985, This thesis considers Zhang's development as a writer of fiction, concentrating attention on the period 1929 to 1938 when Zhang produced his most noteworthy works, but also analysing the place in his career of the recently rediscovered stories written between 1922 and 1928. Zhang's critical and theoretical writings are considered for what they reveal of his literary ideals and are considered as an index to Zhang's success as a writer of fiction. Zhang's development as a writer of fiction is considered chronologically and contemporary political, historical, social and literary influences are alluded to whenever pertinent. Zhang's short stories are also measured against the yardstick of Western practice in the writing of short stories and conventional and unconventional uses of the genre by Zhang are pointed out. Appendices contain a biographical entry about Zhang written in the light of recently published material about Zhang's life and interviews with his family and friends; together with translations of several previously untranslated stories by Zhang.
title: Church and state in Ethiopia, 1270-1527.
Creators: name: Taddesse, Tamrat
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: The thirteenth century ushered in an active development in both Church and State in the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia, The process had already started in the Zagwe period, but it was considerably intensified with the rise of the new dynasty founded by Yikunno-'Amlak in 1270. This development manifested itself in various ways in the period with which the present study is concerned. Within the kingdom itself, the power of the king over his vassal chiefs, his army, and his wealth tremendously increased. The literary re-awakening of the Church led to the revival of monasticism and brought in a series of reform movements initiated by the new monastic leaders of the country. Of much greater importance to the history of the whole area of the Horn of Africa was the rapid expansion of the territorial limits of the Christian kingdom, and the evangelization of many of the conquered areas. These outward movements of expansion of both Church and State were most active in the reigns of 'Amde-Siyon (1314-44) and Yishaq (1413-30), who were the most outstanding military leaders of the kingdom in the whole of our period. Their campaigns pushed the Christian frontiers far into the heart of the Muslim dominated areas beyond the Awash in the east, the rich Sidama country between the left bank of the Abbay and the lake region of the rift valley in the south, and the Agew and Felasha country consisting of Goojam and what is today the Province of Begemdir in the west and in the north-west. The literary and religious activities of Zer'a-Ya'qob (1434-68) were essentially an attempt to etsabilize the manifold conquests of his predecessors, and to give sound institutional bases for both church and State in the whole of the Christian Empire. The relatively radical programmes which he rigorously put to effect during his reign were not continued by his successors, and with the reigns of a series of minor kings the diverse regional and religious interests fully reasserted themselves. The absence of a strong, xinited leadership for half a century (following Be'ide-Maryam's reign) sapped the Christian kingdom of much of its political and military strength, and led in the end to the brilliant successes of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim, otherwise known as Gragn.

Creators: name: Kofi Darkwah, Rexford Henry
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1966

description: From the beginning of the 17th century to the middle of the 19th century the Christian Empire of Ethiopia was in decline; the power and prestige of the Emperor were at a low ebb and the provincial governors vied with one another for a dominant position in Empire. This decline was the combined effect upon the Empire of past wars with her Muslim neighbours, religious civil war and the Galla invasions. At the provincial level the period was marked by territorial expansion, centralization and consolidation of provincial autonomy. This development achieved varying degrees of success in the different provinces. Probably the highest degree of success was achieved in the Galla-dominated province of Shoa, where a line of Amhara rulers the district of Manz succeeded in establishing a stable dynasty. Through military prowess and administrative ability the dynasty gradually conquered the surrounding Galla, and by the 1840s had created a powerful kingdom independent of the Emperor. The success of Shoa's development was due partly to the ability of its rulers, partly to the absence of interference from other princes in the Empire, and party to the political and military weakness of the Galla tribes. In 1855-6 Emperor Theodros, having revived the imperial authority, conquered Shoa but nine years later Shoa regained her independence. From 1865 to 1889 the relations between Shoa and the revitalized Imperial power became a crucial domestic issue in the Empire. The period also saw Shoa conquer more Galla provinces. As a result of her expansion there evolved in Shoa a strong centralized administration, and a commercial and military activity, the relative efficiency of which enabled the kingdom to withstand efforts by the Imperial power to conquer it. In 1889 the King of Shoa became Emperor and thereby re-united the Empire under the Shoan. dynasty.

Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1974

description: This thesis is an assessment of the performance of the Egyptian pharmaceutical industry in the context of am international market for drugs which is dominated by the operation of multinational firms. Chapter I begins with an analysis of the determinants of demand for drugs, followed by a definition of terms and a classification of pharmaceutical products according to their therapeutic usage and the technical processes involved in their manufacture. Section 3 of Chapter 1 describes the structure of the international market for drugs, exploring the major factors responsible for a significant rate of concentration in the industry, an excessive amount of expenditure on innovations and promotion, and unreasonably high prices. Section 4 of Chapter I singles out the specific problems concerning devleloping countries in their acquisition of drugs and examines the arguments so far presented on the subject. Chapter II traces the development of the Egyptian pharmaceutical industry from its early start in a free enterprise environment and through the 1950s when government control gradually became total. Section 1 of Chapter III describes the changing pattern of supply of drugs by multinational firms in various markets. This is followed in Section 2 by a detailed analysis of the operation of multinational firms in Egypt, with special emphasis on their comparative gain from particular forms of investment. Section 3 of Chapter III identifies the costs and benefits derived by the Egyptian economy from the operation of multinational pharmaceutical firms, with a quantitative judgement of figures obtained for the two major kinds of foreign operations in Egypt: subsidiaries and license agreements. Chapter IV gives an assessment of the performance of the nationalised domestic sector of the Egyptian pharmaceutical industry over the period 1960 to 1970/71, using indices for production, value added and profits as basic indicators. The price structure for drugs is also examined for its influence on the profitability of domestic firms and on the production indices for the industry. In Section 3 of Chapter IV the policy of GOPCA, the centralised government body in control of the Egyptian market for drugs, is assessed for its influence on the present and future growth of the industry. Section 4 of Chapter IV is devoted to a close study of the problems which the industry has experienced with backward integration, as portrayed in the operation of the primary producing pharmaceutical chemicals plant, El Nasr. Chapter V summarises the results of this study.
title: A survey of dialect variations in Rukiga.
Creators: name: Hammett, Robin William
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1974

description: Kigezi District in South-West Uganda, with its fragmented population separated by hill and swamp barriers and lacking central political institutions, was the focus of a survey of dialectal variation, taking a 1 in 3,500 sample of the population. Areas of recent immigration were excluded. An outline of phonology and grammar based on the centre of the survey area provides a frame of reference for the discussion of the local differences in phonology, morphology and lexicon under study. Phonetic variations occasionally have phonemic implications. The grammatical concord system is generally constant, but there are considerable variations in the verbal systems, both in the forms employed and in the tense oppositions. The lexicon also shows variant forms; the distribution of features often suggests a distinction between newer and older forms. Comparison with neighbouring Runyankore to the North-East and Kinyarwanda to the South-West shows that the North-East of the survey area has many Runyankore forms, but other parts have more surprising features: there is a high Runyankore content in the South-West, while the centre leans more towards Kinyarwanda. The pygmy Batwa are relatively isolated. The data illustrate well the continuity of linguistic relationship. Some isoglosses coincide, running generally in a North-West/South-East direction. A distinction of three dialects is suggested, identified, however, rather by their cores than by any clear boundaries. The linguistic findings confirm and amplify the picture of history given by oral tradition. The Bakimbiri clan in the South-West and the Bahororo in the North-East have traditions of migration from the same general area, while the Kinyarwanda forms of the central Bahimba clan suggest an earlier Banyarwanda presence in their area.

description: We consider a single-cell network of random transmitters and fixed relays in a bounded domain of Euclidean space. The transmitters arrive over time and select one relay according to a spatially inhomogeneous preference kernel. Once a transmitter is  connected to a relay, the connection remains and the relay is occupied. If an occupied relay is selected by another transmitters with later arrival time, this transmitter becomes frustrated. We derive a large deviation principle for the space-time evolution of frustrated transmitters in the high-density regime.

title: Control and Subsidiarity in the Tonga Verb.
Creators: name: O'Brien, Daniel
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1975

description: The title of the thesis is the name for a method devised to describe the different uses of tense forms in Tonga. Tense forms may be said to have different functions and time references depending on their position in the sentence or discourse. The starting point for the description of the function and time reference of the tense form is its use in simple statements and questions. When data from a wider context was examined it proved necessary to allow a number of different time references and functions to several tense forms. In some instances, the function, in non-initiating position, could be described as an aspect of its use in initiating position, in others, however, there appeared to be an even more radical difference of function and time reference. In the case of the Subjunctive or Dependent forms, when used in subsidiary or non-initiating position, these are describeable as narrative forms, here termed 'bridging' since they indicate that one action is terminated and another is about to take place. Since these forms are never used in initiating position the term 'Fixed Function Subsidiarity' has been coined to describe their use. In addition, such forms as nomino-verbals, e.g., the infinitives, which are not morphologically marked for person or tense, must sometimes be interpreted as having a tense function in discourse. Subject and tense markers, are, in these cases, understood to be the same as those of the controlling tense form. Tonga use of the many tense forms of the language and the multiple application of some particular tense forms has been described in terms of Control and Subsidiarity. In this method of description non-initiating or subsidiary tense forms within a sentence or discourse are described as dependent for their time reference and function on.;tense form controlling the sentence or discourse.A control may be of two kinds: (1) setting up a time reference relative to the speaker and listener, or (2) providing a framework within which the non-initiating tanse form or nomino-verbal functions.
Ecological framework for item responding of a youth risk and needs assessment

description: The use and interpretation of educational and psychological tests are paramount to individual outcomes and opportunities. Methods for detecting a lack of item invariance or differential item functioning (DIF) are imperative for item analysis when developing and revising assessments, particularly as it pertains to fairness across various populations, languages, and cultures. A new third generation of DIF proposes an ecological framework for explaining why DIF occurs using sociological, community, and contextual variables as possible explanations of item responding. DIF was examined across school district clusters using random-intercept and random-coefficient models. Multilevel logistic regression analyses revealed that ethnic DIF does exist on a youth risk and needs assessment. Moreover, this study demonstrated how the use of district-level collected administrative data as estimates of student's contextual environments was used to explain sources of DIF. The implications of the work are that it progresses DIF research, enhances the approach to understanding item responses, and provides a more accurate understanding of youth development through an ecological framework. Recommendations for practice and future studies are discussed.

description: Examining how heat affects people with Parkinson’s disease is essential for informing clinical decision-making, safety, well-being, and healthcare planning. While there is evidence that the neuropathology associated with Parkinson’s disease affects thermoregulatory mechanisms, little attention has been given to the association of heat sensitivity to worsening symptoms and restricted daily activities in people with this progressive disease. Using a cross-sectional study design, we examined the experiences of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the heat. Two-hundred and forty-seven people completed an online survey (age: 66.0 ± 9.2 years; sex: male = 102 (41.3%), female = 145 (58.7%)), of which 195 (78.9%) reported becoming more sensitive to heat with Parkinson’s disease. Motor and nonmotor symptoms worsened with heat in 182 (73.7%) and 203 (82.2%) respondents, respectively. The most commonly reported symptoms to worsen included walking difficulties, balance impairment, stiffness, tremor, fatigue, sleep disturbances, excess sweating, difficulty concentrating, and light-headedness when standing. Concerningly, over half indicated an inability to work effectively in the heat, and nearly half reported that heat impacted their ability to perform household tasks and social activities. Overall, heat sensitivity was common in people with Parkinson’s disease and had a significant impact on symptomology, day-to-day activities and quality of life.

title: A syntactical study of the Amavatura.
Creators: name: Suriyahetti, Piyaseeli
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1975

description: This thesis discusses the syntax of the sentences, clauses and phrases of the Amavatura, an early Sinhalese prose work. The syntactical features are illustrated under six main titles that constitute the six chapters of the present work. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the Amavatura. A comprehensive account is given here of its author, the subject matter, style and the main lexical features. Chapter 2 makes an investigation of the characteristic features regarding the arrangement of the constituents of the sentences, particularly in comparison with Pali constructions. Chapter 3 deals with the syntax of the finite verb. The verbs are categorized into two main classes to exemplify some morphological features. A brief mention is made of mood and the striking features concerning tense and collocation. The syntactical relation between the noun and the verb is illustrated under the categories transitive, intransitive and causative verb of which the last is explained as a possible derivative of the first two. Chapter 4 deals with non-verbal elements that constitute the predicate. Chapter 5 introduces the syntax of various non-finite verbal forms, touching briefly on their main morphological features. These verbal forms are illustrated under four categories, namely participles, conditionals, absolutives and concurrents. Chapter 6 concerns the syntax of subordinate clauses in relation with the main sentence.
