Masterarbeit

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit den Begriffen „Hochsensibilität“ und „Selbstkonzept“. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen inwiefern sich die beiden Konstrukte beeinflussen und wie weit sich die Hypothese bestätigt, dass hochsensible Kinder ein niedriges Selbstkonzept aufweisen. In einer 3. Primarklasse werden verschiedene Einflüsse auf die Hochsensibilität und das Selbstkonzept von Schülerinnen und Schülern erforscht. Das schulische Selbstkonzept aller Schülerinnen und Schüler der 3. Primarklasse wird mit dem Erfassungsinstrument SESSKO (Skalen zur Erfassung des schulischen Selbstkonzepts) erhoben. Die Hochsensibilität wird mit einem Fragebogen erfasst. Vier Kinder dieser Klasse und ihre Lehrperson werden jeweils zu unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten zur Hochsensibilität und dem Selbstkonzept interviewt.
La bilancia dei pagamenti dei paesi sottosviluppati. (The balance of payments of developing countries)

Subjects: subject: Balance of payments, developing countries, trade, aid, policy
subject: F31, F32, F35

description: In spite of the large literature on development and the growing number of estimates of future trade or savings “gaps” there are no acceptable or consistent estimates showing the past history or existing state of the balance of payments of developing countries as a group. Moreover, assessing the likely impact of changes in trade or aid policies designed to help the developing world depends on understanding the present situation. The present paper fills this statistical gap, which is so important for policy discussions. The estimates provided are crude, however, they shed light on the magnitude and interrelations of important problems. JEL: F31, F32, F35

description: There appears to be a rather wide agreement among Italian economists, in and out of the Government, on the causes of Italy’s balance of payments crisis and of the recession that began in 1964. This explanation, originally put forward by the Bank of Italy, though rather unsatisfactory, has been uncritically accepted or at least has not been challenged in any systematic way. The present paper assesses the validity of this explanation and proposes an alternative one. For the sake of simplicity the authors keep separate the case of an open economy from that of a closed one. The Bank of Italy’s model is first formalised before its basic shortcomings are demonstrated. The authors then present the alternative model they propose. The nature of the Italian inflation and the determinants of wage movements are then discussed. The authors then consider the case of an open economy before provided a formal treatment of the problems raised. JEL: E31, E52, F31, F34

description: This study comprehensively investigated the distribution, source identification, and potential ecological risk of heavy metals (As, Ni, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn) in surface sediments of the Mongla port area of Bangladesh. The sediment samples were collected from ten sampling points during the wet and dry season and heavy metals were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The average concentration of heavy metal in sediments was higher during the dry season (11.36 to 118.55 mg/kg) as compared with the wet season (8.70 to 88.58 mg/kg). Certain indices, including the enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, and contamination factor demonstrated that Cd was highly responsible for sediment pollution. The range of pollution load index values was 1.12 to 1.55 during wet and 1.59 to 2.27 during the dry season, indicating progressive deterioration of sediments by studied heavy metals. Multivariate principal component analysis showed that the source of As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu and, Zn in the port area surface sediment mainly due to anthropogenic activities. Considering the potential ecological risk, surface sediments of the Mongla port area showed moderate to considerable ecological risk. Potential acute toxicity results in most of the sampling points during the dry season was greater than 4, shows moderate to the severe toxicity of heavy metals in sediment. Further studies to assess the widespread risk of heavy metals are recommended to protect the aquatic ecosystem from heavy metal contamination.

description: We studied the effects of surface composition and thermohaline mixing caused by secular instability on the accreting components for low--mass binaries and applied the results on a short-orbital-period BS F190 in the old cluster M67. The results indicate no distinction in surface composition between the models with and without thermohaline mixing during Roche lobe overflow, but we still see the divergences of evolutionary tracks on HRD and CMD. The change of surface composition makes the gainer bluer and smaller than the ones with original surface composition while thermohaline mixing lessens the effect slightly. If thermohaline mixing were to act instantaneously, the effect would be lessened more. Our calculation shows that case A and case B mass transfer may produce BSs in short- or relatively short-orbital-period binaries (including Algol systems), and that CNO abundance abnormalities could be observed in these products. Our simulation of F190 shows that the primary's mass $M_{\rm 1i}$ of the appropriate models is located in the range of 1.40 to 1.45$M_{\odot}$ with initial mass ratio $q_{\rm i}=1.5$ and initial orbital period $P_{\rm i}=0.8$ days, indicating that case A is a more likely evolutionary channel than case B to form this object. The simulation also shows that it is very likely that F190 is still in a slow stage of mass transfer. As a consequence, obvious CNO abundance abnormalities should be observed for the object.

description: In recent times all of the countries of Eastern Europe, save Rumania, have proclaimed their intention to undertake significant changes in their economies. The reforms announced or already initiated amount to a considerable departure from the centrally planned command economies that emerged with the establishment of communist regimes after World War II. The present study focuses on those common features of the new economic policies which affect the future role of money, credit and banking in Eastern Europe. The author first outlines the underlying factors that have motivated the changes before considering the economic system in which they are to be placed. The trend toward greater flexibility in the area of banking and credit is then analysed. Finally, the emerging use of credit as an “economic lever” is considered. JEL: G21, E51

subject: E52, F31, F32

description: Since the lira was declared convertible in December 1958, the Italian monetary authorities have been making increasing use of changes in the Italian banks’ foreign position as a policy instrument. The present article analyses in detail how the Italian monetary authorities have used their powers to control banks’ foreign exchange borrowing and lending as a means to restrict or expand domestic liquidity. In general, the flows of bank money to and from abroad have been regulated by the central bank as to make the process of balance-of-payments adjustment more flexible, and hence to attenuate the effects of the liquidity gains and losses due to the surpluses and deficits generated by autonomous operations with abroad. The analysis confirms that when bank credits are used without appropriate measures designed to re-establish basic equilibrium in the balance of payments, they may give rise to speculative capital movements. The author argues that while Italian monetary policy made an effective impact on the course of the economic cycle, it could not control the cycle itself. JEL: E52, F31, F32

description: Recent XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the high mass X-ray binary LS 5039 / RX J1826.2-1450 caught the source in a faint X-ray state. In contrast with previous RXTE observations, we fail to detect any evidence of iron line emission. We also fail to detect X-ray pulsations. The X-ray spectrum can be well fitted by a simple powerlaw, slightly harder than in previous observations, and does not require the presence of any additional disk or blackbody component. XMM-Newton data imply an X-ray photoelectric absorption ($N_{\rm H} \sim 7 \times 10^{21}$ cm$^{-2}$) consistent with optical reddening, indicating that no strong local absorption occurs at the time of these observations. We discuss possible source emission mechanisms and hypotheses on the nature of the compact object, giving particular emphasis to the young pulsar scenario.

title: Community acquired bacterial meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia amongst adults in England and Wales : epidemiology and clinical management
Creators: name: Gjini, Ardiana
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Background: Bacterial meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK and elsewhere. There have been achievements in paediatric care, including vaccination; however mortality amongst otherwise healthy young adults remains high.

Objective: I undertook this study to examine the way by which the public health burden of meningitis in adults can be reduced.

Methods: I used routine surveillance data (laboratory reports, clinical notifications, hospital activity, mortality data) to examine the epidemiology and determine the changing trends. I undertook a capture-recapture study to quantify the underreporting through the routine surveillance. I conducted a retrospective review of clinical management of adult patients with meningitis in England and Wales using medical records of patients diagnosed with meningitis or meningococcal septicaemia. I examined the association of clinical management with the outcome of the disease (CABM and MS).

Findings: The epidemiology of adult meningitis in England and Wales is changing. Overall forms of CABM show no significant changing trend, whilst meningococcal septicaemia shows an increasing trend. Tubercular meningitis is increasing significantly, whilst pneumococcal, HiB and Listeria meningitis are falling. Mortality generally remains in a steady trend. There are differences by age-group and causative organisms. There is considerable (-50%) underreporting of both, incidence and mortality from all major routine surveillance systems. Hospital management of meningitis is largely sub-optimal. Main areas of deficiency in clinical care are: timely diagnosis and consequently administration of antibiotics, assessment of severity, and record keeping; and these appeared to vary between the hospitals. It is difficult to examine the association between clinical with the outcome of meningitis primarily due to confounding by severity of illness which in my study was further jeopardised by the lack of recorded data and study power.

Conclusion: This study has identified areas within public health interventions, such as vaccination policies, and clinical care, such as improved diagnosis and severity assessment, where there is potential for improvement towards a reduced public health burden of adult meningitis in England and Wales.

description: The international trade of agri-food products was analyzed in the paper. The countries where we export agri-food products were pointed out and the importers, too. Tabular, descriptive, graphical and trend analysis methods were used in the data analysis. The source material was data from the Central Statistical Office, the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Food Economy-PIB in Warsaw and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The research shows that the trade balance of agri-food products in the period 2003-2015 increased from 0.5 billion to 7.7 billion Euro, an increase of 1,440%. Poland exports mainly meat and offal of poultry, chocolate, red meat, bread, meat, wheat, pork. The main trade partners of Poland are the EU countries, particularly Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Italy. Development forecast trading in Polish agri-food products was built in the study, which shows that exports, imports and the balance will grow. / Synopsis.

description: The paper analyses the state of and prospects for oilseed production in Poland and Ukraine. Rapeseed is the basic oil plant in Poland, and sunflower dominates in Ukraine. In addition to the sunflower, rape and soya take a significant share in the structure of oilseeds in Ukraine. We saw an increase in oilseed production both in Poland and Ukraine. In Poland, the situation is due to the increase in demand for raw materials for biofuel production, while in Ukraine the increase is associated with an increased demand for oilseeds for the global markets. The biofuel industry in Ukraine is in the early stage of development and has no significant impact on the production of oilseeds in the country. However the European Union sees the impact of biofuels sector, which used oilseeds and vegetable oils from Ukraine. The biofuel industry in Poland will play a significant role in the development rapeseed production. In connection with the adopted legislation on renewable energy development in the biofuel sector in the case of Ukraine may face an increase in internal demand for seeds of oilseeds in the longer term. / Synopsis. W opracowaniu dokonano analizy stanu i perspektyw produkcji roślin oleistych w Polsce i na Ukrainie. W Polsce podstawową roślina oleistą jest rzepak, natomiast na Ukrainie dominuje słonecznik. Znaczny udział w strukturze upraw oleistych na Ukrainie oprócz słonecznika zajmują rzepak oraz soja. Zarówno w Polsce, jak i na Ukrainie odnotowano wzrost produkcji roślin oleistych. W Polsce stan ten wynika ze wzrostu popytu na surowce do produkcji biopaliw, natomiast na Ukrainie wzrost ten jest związany ze zwiększonym zapotrzebowaniem na nasiona roślin oleistych na rynkach światowych. Sektor biopaliwowy na Ukrainie znajduje się w początkowej fazie rozwoju i nie ma on istotnego wpływu na produkcję roślin oleistych w tym kraju. Dostrzegalny jest natomiast wpływ sektora biopaliw w krajach Unii Europejskiej na produkcję roślin oleistych i olejów roślinnych na Ukrainie. Sektor biopaliwowy w Polsce będzie odgrywał istotne znaczenie dla rozwoju produkcji rzepaku. W przypadku Ukrainy w związku z przyjętym ustawodawstwem o rozwoju OZE, w tym sektora biopaliw może w dalszej przyszłości nastąpić wzrost wewnętrznego zapotrzebowania na nasiona z roślin oleistych.
Il bisogno di riserve monetarie. (The need for monetary reserves)

Publisher: name: Moneta e Credito
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Monetary reserves, liquidity, policy, foreign trade
subject: E42, F31, F33

description: The article addresses the question of whether it is possible to find any objective criteria for the need of monetary reserves, either for individual countries or for the world at large. The author first distinguishes between the “need for monetary reserves” and the “demand for international liquidity”. Some of the theories which seek to explain why large reserves are held and considered necessary are examined. In particular, the relations between official reserves and imports, variations of the trade balance, imports and capital outflows, past deficits, domestic money supply and current liabilities are analysed. The author then argues that reserves are not needed for any of the purposes emphasised by either theorists or practitioners, but rather are determined by the ambitions of monetary authorities. Moreover, the volume of reserves are not determined by what the authorities want to hold but rather by what they are offered and are willing to accept. Finally, three effects of increases in reserves are highlighted before an application to present-day discussions is provided. JEL: E42, F31, F33

title: Directed routes or chosen pathways? : teachers' views of continuing professional development within a group of rural primary schools
Creators: name: Ridley, John Matthew
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This research project examines teachers' Continuing Professional Development (C. P. D. ) within two clusters of rural primary schools in the north of England. The research considers teachers' attitudes to, and their understanding of, the meaning and purpose of C. P. D., and how it affects themselves and the pupils they teach. The research, which is set within its historical context with particular reference to the impact of the Education Reform Act (1988) and the raft of initiatives that have influenced the direction of teachers' C. P. D., reflects on teachers as professionals.

 Through a combination of survey and case study, quantitative and qualitative approaches to data collection were used and the initial questionnaires were followed up by semi-structured interviews in the two case study schools. Using Bolam's (1993) tripartite definition as an analytical framework C. P. D. is subdivided into the areas of training, education and support. The data analysis showed that across both clusters teachers' C. P. D. was driven by national government initiatives and, in some cases, the national initiatives became the schools' priorities, leaving little opportunity for an individual school based approach to C. P. D. Across the clusters there was an established relationship between the School Development Plan (S. D. P. ), performance management and C. P. D. The one year performance management cycle appeared to dictate the length of the C. P. D. cycle and promoted short term development, reducing opportunities for longer courses, such as advanced diplomas and higher degrees. The constraints of the cycle, along with the emphasis on the deficit model of C. P. D., is viewed as contributing to the general deprofessionalisation of teachers.

description: The first Report of the Deputies of the Group of Ten and the parallel Report of the IMF from 1964 reached unanimous consensus on the basic deficiencies of the international monetary system and the general nature of the revolutionary reforms required for its satisfactory performance in the future. The three years that have elapsed since then have unfortunately failed to elicit any similar agreement on the concrete measures and commitments needed to implement the broad recommendations of the two reports. The present paper first summarises the already familiar considerations regarding the impact the existence of three types of reserve assets upon the growth of world reserves. It is then largely devoted to its equally important, but less generally perceived and understood, impact on the balance of payments adjustment process. In the concluding section the author offers answers to broader policy issues. JEL: E42, F31, F33

description: This study comprehensively investigated the distribution, source identification, and potential ecological risk of heavy metals (As, Ni, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn) in surface sediments of the Mongla port area of Bangladesh. The sediment samples were collected from ten sampling points during the wet and dry season and heavy metals were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The average concentration of heavy metal in sediments was higher during the dry season (11.36 to 118.55 mg/kg) as compared with the wet season (8.70 to 88.58 mg/kg). Certain indices, including the enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, and contamination factor demonstrated that Cd was highly responsible for sediment pollution. The range of pollution load index values was 1.12 to 1.55 during wet and 1.59 to 2.27 during the dry season, indicating progressive deterioration of sediments by studied heavy metals. Multivariate principal component analysis showed that the source of As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu and, Zn in the port area surface sediment mainly due to anthropogenic activities. Considering the potential ecological risk, surface sediments of the Mongla port area showed moderate to considerable ecological risk. Potential acute toxicity results in most of the sampling points during the dry season was greater than 4, shows moderate to the severe toxicity of heavy metals in sediment. Further studies to assess the widespread risk of heavy metals are recommended to protect the aquatic ecosystem from heavy metal contamination.
Indirect imaging of nonradial pulsations in a rapidly oscillating Ap star
Creators: name: Kochukhov, O.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many types of stars show periodic variations of radius and brightness, which are commonly referred to as `stellar pulsations'. Observed pulsational characteristics are determined by fundamental stellar parameters. Consequently, investigations of stellar pulsations provide a unique opportunity to verify and refine our understanding of the evolution and internal structure of stars. However, a key boundary condition for this analysis -- precise information about the geometry of pulsations in the outer stellar envelopes -- has been notoriously difficult to secure. Here we demonstrate that it is possible to solve this problem by constructing an `image' of the pulsation velocity field from time series observations of stellar spectra. This technique is applied to study the geometry of nonradial pulsations in a prototype magnetic oscillating (roAp) star HR 3831. Our velocity map directly demonstrates an alignment of pulsations with the axis of the global magnetic field and reveals a significant magnetically induced distortion of pulsations. This observation constitutes a long-sought solution of the problem of the pulsation geometry of roAp stars and enables very stringent tests of the recent theories of stellar magneto-acoustic oscillations.

Remembering the Holocaust : teachers' narrative choices and students' historical thinking
Creators: name: Perry-Whittingham, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study investigated teachers' narrative choice and students' historical thinking. The research examined the influence of varying curriculum materials, including a graphic novel, feature film and discovery trunk, on student thinking about the Holocaust. The study was conducted in three social studies 11 classes, taught by the researcher, in an urban public secondary school. Data used in the study consisted of student essay samples and informal classroom observations. The study's findings revealed that students' thinking about the Holocaust was multi-dimensional and fairly complex. Students' thinking, at the end of the unit, was categorized into themes: preservation of Holocaust artifacts and relics, the use of museums as sites of memory, learning lessons from the Holocaust about humanity, and the intrinsic moral weight of the Holocaust as a historical event. The use of varied resources did not provide substantial evidence of differentiated historical understanding, but there was some evidence to suggest that the varied resources impacted student understanding on a general level. In light of these findings the thesis concludes that studying the Holocaust is a valuable topic for students because they will find the narratives compelling, confront personal moral frames and benefit from thinking through the historical complexity of the Holocaust.
Concessioni creditizie o assegnazioni di riserve? (Credit facilities or reserve allotments?)

Subjects: subject: International liquidity, credit facilities, reserve units, allotments, growth
subject: F33, F34

description: In the international discussions on a contingency plan for the creation of “international liquidity”, the most controversial question has been whether extension of credit facilities or deliberate creation and distribution of reserve units would be the better solution. While some of the experts are indifferent, others are zealous partisans of one of the proposed alternatives. However, most seem willing to accept the proposal which is likely to gain unanimous consent. What is more, changes in the official positions of the participating governments have been frequent and drastic. The present article provides a detailed analysis of the debate of credit facilities vs reserve allotments, highlighting the key related issues. It is argued that the best performance with regard to non-discrimination - the credit facilities approach - would be associated with the worst performance regarding permanence in the existence of monetary reserves, required for a steady growth in world trade and production.

description: The article attempts to evaluate the changes in the terms and conditions of agri-food trade between the EU and Ukraine after the entering into the force of the EU-Ukraine free trade agreement. The significant increase of savings for Ukrainian exporters as a result of the elimination of trade barriers is being noted. In order to analyze the intensity of agri-food trade between Ukraine, Poland and the EU, Grubel-Lloyd index is calculated. It is indicated that the greater part of the agri-food trade between Ukraine and the EU takes place in the framework of intra-industry trade. A tendency to increase of the intensity of intra-industry trade for particular groups of agri-food products, especially in case of bilateral agri-food exchange between Ukraine and Poland. By calculating of Balassa’s index of revealed comparative advantage of agri-food export according to SITC (0-1), the comparative advantages in agri-food trade both for Ukraine with Poland and the EU, and for Poland with Ukraine and the EU are determined. / Synopsis. W artykule podjęto próbę ocenienia zmiany warunków prowadzenia handlu produktami rolno-spożywczymi UE z Ukrainą po wejściu w życie umowy o SWH. Odnotowano wyraźny wzrost oszczędności ukraińskich eksporterów wskutek zniesienia barier handlowych. Analizowano intensywność handlu produktami rolno-spożywczymi między Ukrainą, Polską i UE wykorzystując wskaźnik Grubela-Lloyda. Ustalono, że większa część wymiany w sektorze rolno-spożywczym pomiędzy Ukrainą a UE odbywa się w ramach handlu wewnątrzbranżowego, a w poszczególnych grupach produktów istnieje tendencja do wzrostu intensywności handlu wewnątrzbranżowego, szczególnie w handlu pomiędzy Ukrainą i Polską. Na podstawie wyników przeprowadzonych obliczeń wskaźnika ujawnionych przewag komparatywnych według grup towarów SITC 0-1 ujawniono przewagi komparatywne w wymianie handlowej produktami rolno-spożywczymi zarówno Ukrainy z Polską i UE, jak Polski z Ukrainą i UE.
Coarse-graining 1/2 BPS geometries of type IIB supergravity

description: Recently Lin, Lunin and Maldacena (LLM) (hep-th/0409174) explicitly mapped 1/2 BPS excitations of type IIB supergravity on AdS_5 x S^5 into free fermion configurations. We discuss thermal coarse-gaining of LLM geometries by explicitly mapping the corresponding equilibrium finite temperature fermion configuration into supergravity. Following Mathur conjecture, a prescription of this sort should generate a horizon in the geometry. We did not find a horizon in finite temperature equilibrium LLM geometry. This most likely is due to the fact that coarse-graining is performed only in a half-BPS sector of the full Hilbert space of type IIB supergravity. For temperatures much less than the AdS curvature scale the equilibrium background corresponding to nearly degenerate dual fermi-gas is found analytically.
