description: We investigate the phase transition between an ergodic and a many-body localized phase in infinite anisotropic spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg chains with binary disorder. Starting from the Néel state, we analyze the decay of antiferromagnetic order $m_s(t)$ and the growth of entanglement entropy $S_{\textrm{ent}}(t)$ during unitary time evolution. Near the phase transition we find that $m_s(t)$ decays exponentially to its asymptotic value $m_s(\infty)\neq 0$ in the localized phase while the data are consistent with a power-law decay at long times in the ergodic phase. In the localized phase, $m_s(\infty)$ shows an exponential sensitivity on disorder with a critical exponent $ν\sim 0.9$. The entanglement entropy in the ergodic phase grows subballistically, $S_{\textrm{ent}}(t)\sim t^α$, $α\leq 1$, with $α$ varying continuously as a function of disorder. Exact diagonalizations for small systems, on the other hand, do not show a clear scaling with system size and attempts to determine the phase boundary from these data seem to overestimate the extent of the ergodic phase.

description: Die Vorstellung von Wohnstätten und Heimen als "sichere Orte" für Menschen mit einer geistigen Behinderung ist erschüttert, schreibt THEUNISSEN (1996, 275). Auf subtile Formen institutioneller Gewalt oder auch auf einen aggressiven Umgang mit BewohnerInnen in erzieherischen und pflegerischen Maßnahmen ist immer wieder aufmerksam gemacht worden (ebd.; EGLI, 1993; BOCK, 1994; ZUR ORIENTIERUNG, 1994; IRBLICH, 1999), wenngleich keine einzige systematische Untersuchung vorliegt, die Art und Ausmaß aggressiver Konflikte in Wohneinrichtungen belegen würde. Die hier vorliegende Untersuchung versucht auf der Basis einer quantitativen und qualitativen Befragung in Wohnstätten Kulminationspunkte menschlicher Konflikte zu explorieren. 117 Gespräche mit erwachsenen Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung und ihren Bezugspersonen liefern das Untersuchungsmaterial für diese Studie. Das Besondere der verwendeten Interviewtechnik besteht darin, daß soziale Realität im Heim aus den diametral entgegengesetzten Perspektiven der HeimbewohnerInnen und des Betreuungspersonals rekonstruiert wird. Die inhaltlichen Akzente der Befragung werden auf fünf Themenfelder gesetzt: (1) die lebensgeschichtlichen Erfahrungen der HeimbewohnerInnen, insbesondere ihre früheren Erlebnisse mit struktureller Gewalt in Psychiatrien und Anstalten; (2) ihre sozialen Bindungen innerhalb und außerhalb der Einrichtung; (3) die Qualität der Wohnsituation; (4) die Erfassung der aggressiven Konflikte der BewohnerInnen untereinander, aber auch gegenüber dem Betreuungspersonal und (5) die Einstellungen beider Gruppen zu Konflikten und Gewalt in erzieherischen Maßnahmen. Inhaltlich und methodisch handelt es sich bei der Untersuchung der Einstellungen zu Konflikten um ein forschungstechnisches Novum: Noch nie wurde in der Vergangenheit das moralische Urteil von Menschen mit einer geistigen Behinderung erfaßt; bisher wurden instrumentell keine Rating-Skalen bei dieser Personengruppe eingesetzt, und das Gewaltverständnis von Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung war bis heute ebenfalls noch kein Untersuchungsgegenstand.

knowledge privatization
knowledge monopoly
equal access
interdisciplinary dialogue

description: In the digital age, the privatization and monopolization of knowledge have become prominent issues, particularly in the field of medical education and practice. Influential platforms like Amboss and the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation AO have emerged as gatekeepers, controlling access to medical knowledge through paywalls and potentially shaping treatment approaches. Concerns arise due to the selective dissemination of information, where conservative treatment approaches may be downplayed. In contrast initiatives that prioritize equal access to knowledge have been introduced, such as the WHO Surgery at the District Hospital program and internationally renowned textbooks like "Primary surgery" and "War surgery." Another area of concern is authorship, with a growing emphasis on advocating for equal cooperative authorship and challenging hierarchical structures. Alternative models promoting inclusivity and diversity in the authorship process are being explored. Additionally, there is a pressing need to prioritize quality over quantity in scientific publications. Strategies such as rigorous peer review processes and emphasizing impactful research are being discussed to address this issue. The implications of knowledge monopolization and dissemination are not limited to developed countries. Russian pirate platforms have significant implications for knowledge dissemination, copyright protection, and research availability, particularly in the Global South. Language barriers and biases against certain regions or nations further amplify the underrepresentation of voices in the scientific community. Interdisciplinary dialogue is crucial in advancing equitable knowledge access and exploring alternative approaches in the digital era. By fostering open discussions, the aim is to deepen the understanding of knowledge monopolies, encourage equal access to information, and seek innovative solutions in authorship, publication, and knowledge dissemination. The ultimate goal is to create a more inclusive and accessible landscape for the advancement of knowledge across various disciplines. All authors contributed equally.

description: This paper investigates the cost of solving systems of sparse polynomial equations by homotopy continuation. First, a space of systems of $n$-variate polynomial equations is specified through $n$ monomial bases. The natural locus for the roots of those systems is known to be a certain toric variety. This variety is a compactification of $(\mathbb C\setminus\{0\})^n$, dependent on the monomial bases. A toric Newton operator is defined on that toric variety. Smale's alpha theory is generalized to provide criteria of quadratic convergence. Two condition numbers are defined and a higher derivative estimate is obtained in this setting. The Newton operator and related condition numbers turn out to be invariant through a group action related to the momentum map. A homotopy algorithm is given, and is proved to terminate after a number of Newton steps which is linear on the condition length of the lifted homotopy path. This generalizes a result from Shub (2009).

description: We generalize the PL intersection product for chains on PL manifolds and for intersection chains on PL stratified pseudomanifolds to products of locally finite chains on non-compact spaces that are natural with respect to restriction to open sets. This is necessary to sheafify the intersection product, an essential step in proving duality between the Goresky-MacPherson intersection homology product and the intersection cohomology cup product pairing recently defined by the author and McClure. We also provide a correction to the Goresky-MacPherson proof of a version of Poincaré duality on pseudomanifolds that is used in the construction of the intersection product.

Determinants of long-term economic growth in OECD countries

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis consists of three self-contained empirical papers, each of which tries to contribute to our understanding of the determinants of economic growth across countries. Over decades of research, economists have suggested various different theories for explaining the different growth enhancing factors. Two of these factors, infrastructure as a productive sector and genetic distance as a channel of knowledge spillover, have been tested empirically in the first two chapters of this thesis. The results show that both public infrastructure and genetic proximity, individually, are consistently highly significant determinants of productivity growth in OECD countries over the period 1870–2009. However, the last chapter shows that, when it comes to including all potential growth regressors which have been introduced in the literature so far, public infrastructure becomes insignificant and genetic distance loses its consistent position as a highly statistically significant determinant of growth. These conflicting results demonstrate that neither infrastructure investment nor genetic distance is very robust to the inclusion of various potential regressors, when the uncertainty problem associated with empirical growth models is taken into account, therefore, the last chapter uses the Bayesian model averaging method and shows that innovations, international technology diffusion, fixed capital and human capital investment have been important contributors to productivity growth in the OECD countries over the 141-year period (1870-2010) that the last chapter of this study has considered.

Sie wird getragen von Bund und Ländern und gehört zur Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Elektronische Wissensmedien gehören heute neben den Büchern zum Standardmaterial für Lehren und Lernen. Der leichte und schnelle Zugriff auf Wissensmedien ist notwendig. Deshalb entwickelt die IWF ein Online-Portal der Wissensmedien. Die Medien sind - als ganze Werke oder in Teilen - übers Netz zugänglich. Man kann sie online sehen, bestellen oder in verschiedenen Qualitäten downloaden. Alle Medien sind in einer Datenbank erfasst, die neben den üblichen bibliographischen Angaben auch technische Details enthält sowie weitere Informationen wie z.B. Sprechtexte oder Untertitel. Um die allgemeine Zugänglichkeit auf eine möglichst breite Basis zu stellen bedarf es der Kooperation mit den klassischen Bibliotheken. Dabei wollen, können und sollen AV-Medien-Portale nicht die Bibliotheken ersetzen, sondern wollen lediglich ihren angemessenen Platz in der sog. 'hybriden Bibliothek' einnehmen. Dort aber erfordern die Eigenheiten von Bewegtbildmedien und von nichtlinearen Medien Erschließungs- und Präsentationsansätze, die über das herkömmliche Bibliographische hinausgehen.

description: Previous studies on the associations between trait anxiety and amygdalar responses to threat stimuli have resulted in mixed findings, possibly due to sample characteristics, specific tasks, and analytical methods. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study aimed to investigate linear or non-linear associations between trait anxiety and amygdalar responses in a sample of participants with low, medium, and high trait anxiety scores. During scanning, participants were presented with threat-related or neutral pictures and had either to solve an emotional task or an emotional-unrelated distraction task. Results showed that only during the explicit task trait anxiety was associated with right amygdalar responses to threat-related pictures as compared to neutral pictures. The best model was a cubic model with increased amygdala responses for very low and medium trait anxiety values but decreased amygdala activation for very high trait anxiety values. The findings imply a non-linear relation between trait anxiety and amygdala activation depending on task conditions.

description: vascoda (www.vascoda.de) ist ein interdisziplinäres Internetportal für wissenschaftliche Information in Deutschland. Es bietet einen zentraler Einstiegspunkt für die gesamte Wissenschaft, vom Anglo-Amerikanischen Kulturkreis bis zu den Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Die zentrale Idee ist es, den Zugang zu qualitätsgeprüfter Information durch vielfältige Such- und Browsingoptionen zu erleichtern. Ein einfacher und bequemer Zugang für alle Benutzerinnen und Benutzer zu allen Dokumenttypen in allen akademischen Gebieten soll dabei im Mittelpunkt stehen. Das erste Release von vascoda umfasst eine einfache Suche über die Datenbank- und Volltextangebote der Informationsverbünde und die Internetressourcen verschiedener Virtueller Fachbibliotheken, kombiniert mit den Links zu den Lizenzinformationen, die die EZB bereit hält. Außerdem gibt es Links zu allen anderen Angeboten der drei Partner. Dies ist u. a. auch deshalb so wichtig, weil noch nicht alle Angebote in die Suche integriert werden können und die Einzelangebote umfassendere Suchoptionen bieten. Der Austausch von Wissen und Erfahrungen ist ein wesentlicher Beitrag für den Aufbau eines Qualitätsproduktes, das später mit anderen Produkten verknüpft werden kann. Dies bedeutet, dass nationale aber auch internationale Kooperationen für eine langfristige Entwicklung eines derartig umfangreichen Projektes unverzichtbar sind. Inzwischen wurde vascoda wichtigen Vertreterinnen und Vertretern des deutschen Bibliothekswesens und des Informationssektors vorgestellt und über eine mögliche Zusammenarbeit diskutiert. Insbesondere die aktuellen Entwicklungen, Zukunftsperspektiven und Visionen sollen im Mittelpunkt dieses Vortrags stehen.

description: Populations of neurons display an extraordinary diversity in the behaviors they affect and display. Machine learning techniques have recently emerged that allow us to create networks of model neurons that display behaviours of similar complexity. Here, we demonstrate the direct applicability of one such technique, the FORCE method, to spiking neural networks. We train these networks to mimic dynamical systems, classify inputs, and store discrete sequences that correspond to the notes of a song. Finally, we use FORCE training to create two biologically motivated model circuits. One is inspired by the zebra-finch and successfully reproduces songbird singing. The second network is motivated by the hippocampus and is trained to store and replay a movie scene. FORCE trained networks reproduce behaviors comparable in complexity to their inspired circuits and yield information not easily obtainable with other techniques such as behavioral responses to pharmacological manipulations and spike timing statistics.

Das Verfahren ist dynamisch und erlaubt das sukzessive und zielgerichtete Präzisieren der Modellierung bis eine aus Sicht des Entscheiders 'gute' Alternative gefunden ist. Im Rahmend der Arbeit wird ein theoretisches Fundament für diesen Ansatz entwickelt und basierend auf einem wenig einschränkendem Axiom, dem Dominanzaxiom, ein etliche bisherige Ansätze verallgemeinerndes Modell für die Entscheidungstheorie eingeführt. Diese Modell basiert auf linearen Wahrscheinlichkeitsinformationen, welche zur Modellierung von Unsicherheit einerseits und Ungenauigkeit andererseits angewendet werden.
description: Lazy Decision Making is a new approach to dynamic decision making under uncertainty which is based on the idea that the agent (who faces the decision problem) starts with an imprecise description of his knowledge concerning the (uncertain) state of nature. Step-by-step he can make this description more precise until a 'reasonable' alternative can be determined. During the whole process the agent is assisted by hints on which (probability) information should be made more precise.
Development of rapid molecular methods for the detection of food-borne pathogens based on immunostaining and physiological profiling using FACS technology

Publisher: name: University of Limerick

Subjects: subject: Biological sciences

description: The use of flow cytometry (FCM) and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) for food applications has received little research attention. In this thesis, novel FCM and FACS methods were developed for the detection and determination of physiological status of pathogenic microorganisms, chiefly Staphylococcus aureus. Initially, FCM and FACS methods were used to correlate the physiology of bacteria with viability on traditional agars. Two commercially available species specific monoclonal antibodies were identified as capable of tagging S. aureus and amplification of the primary antibody-antigen reaction was enabled using a phyocerythrin (PE) labelled secondary antibody. This formed the prototype immuno-FCM assay and was further evaluated in a number of studies. The effects of food processing stressors on antibody binding were assessed using physiological indicators such as SYTO 9/ propidium iodide, DiOC2(3) and calcein acetoxymethylester. Different degrees of physiological heterogeneity were revealed using these various probes and chemical stressors were also shown to interfere with antibody binding in broth systems. In food systems, immuno-FCM assays compared favourably with existing microbiological plate count methods but were dependant on the populations of the bacterium in foods. FACS was shown to be essential for validation of this novel methodology by allowing confirmation of species detection and physiological status of microorganisms by sorting directly onto agar plates. This novel immuno-FCM method for S. aureus developed may prove to be a potential commercial advantage for the Irish food industry, especially the chilled meals sector which requires such rapid assays.

description: We calculate the radiative properties of Sagittarius A* -- spectral energy distribution, variability, and radio-infrared images -- using the first 3D, physically motivated black hole accretion models that directly evolve the electron thermodynamics in general relativistic MHD simulations. These models reproduce the coupled disc-jet structure for the emission favored by previous phenomenological analytic and numerical works. More specifically, we find that the low frequency radio emission is dominated by emission from a polar outflow while the emission above 100 GHz is dominated by the inner region of the accretion disc. The latter produces time variable near infrared (NIR) and X-ray emission, with frequent flaring events (including IR flares without corresponding X-ray flares and IR flares with weak X-ray flares). The photon ring is clearly visible at 230 GHz and 2 microns, which is encouraging for future horizon-scale observations. We also show that anisotropic electron thermal conduction along magnetic field lines has a negligible effect on the radiative properties of our model. We conclude by noting limitations of our current generation of first-principles models, particularly that the outflow is closer to adiabatic than isothermal and thus underpredicts the low frequency radio emission.

A power hungry generation : an investigation into Generation Y’s electricity usage, their reasons behind it and a review of behaviour change theories
Creators: name: Smith, Samantha Kate

description: Curbing Australia’s electricity usage is a key challenge for society, both now and in years to come. With electricity an expensive, scarce and environmentally damaging commodity, targeted environmental social marketing campaigns are vital. Such campaigns are essential when it comes to influencing Generation Y - heavy users of electricity-reliant devices - to change their current usage behaviour and act in a more sustainable way. But are messages about electricity conservation getting through to this user group? This three phase DBA commences by employing regression analysis to identify the segment of the market that use the most electricity – Generation Y headed households. Phase 1 analysis reveals that Generation Ys living independently of their parents use more electricity than those Generation Ys living with their parents. Over 20% of this group view appliances and lights being left on as causing high energy usage or waste and are also more likely than the general population to blame the frequent use of large electrical appliances. Yet, they are the least likely group to turn off appliances when not in use (36%) or to choose energy efficient appliances (7%). Phase 2 research explores the relationship Generation Ys have with electricity and possible factors that could influence them to reduce usage. Qualitative research established a high reliance on electricity, the prominent role of Facebook in daily routines, the presence of stress when electricity is restricted, and the degree of effort associated with being environmentally friendly. Also established is the role of parents in curbing electricity usage in the home, the higher importance Generation Ys place on cost/monetary savings than on environmental benefits and their need to be directly impacted by the environmental issue in order to elicit a suitable response. Phase 3 is an extensive literature review of social-psychological theories, frameworks and models of relevance - guiding practitioners attempting to encourage electricity usage behaviour change and to develop interventions targeting Generation Y. The review overviews behaviour change theory, highlighting to social marketers the importance of defining the target behaviour and the target audience, and assessing the determinants of behaviour. The review then discusses the criteria for selecting from the models and the theories of behaviour and behaviour change, outlining how best to employ behaviour change frameworks and evaluate behaviour change programs. The result is a theoretical review and insight that contributes to social marketers’ understanding of, and approach to, behaviour change, and assists them in developing their positioning statements, crafting their campaign strategies and communicating their desired behaviours to Generation Y.

description: The effects of spironolactone, a non-selective aldosterone antagonist, were examined on thermally-induced pain using the hot-plate and tail-flick tests, on hemogenic pain induced by intraplantar capsaicin, on electrically-induced pain, on visceral nociception induced by intraperitoneal acetic acid injection and on haloperidol-induced catalepsy in mice. Spironolactone significantly shortened response latency in the mouse tail-flick test but produced modest decreases in response latencies in the mouse hot plate test. The drug reduced the antinociceptive effect of tramadol in the hot plate test. Spironolactone in addition decreased nociceptive thresholds of electrically-induced pain in mice. In contrast, spironolactone elicited significant antinociceptive actions in the mouse acetic-acid-induced writhing assay and at doses of 20-160 mg/kg decreased capsaicin-induced chemogenic pain. Spironolactone at doses of 40 or 80 mg/kg reduced spontaneous activity and produced a significant impairment on the rotarod test in mice. The drug (10-80 mg/kg) increased the duration of catalepsy induced by haloperidol by 56.3-188.5 %. In conclusion, spironolactone increased pain behavior in a dosedependent manner in models of thermal and electrical pain, but decreased inflammatory visceral pain due to intraperitoneal acetic acid and chemogenic pain due to intraplantar capsaicin. The effect of spironolactone on various types of pain needs further evaluation.

description: Introduction. L’indicateur de consommation des solutions hydro-alcooliques (Icsha) peut-il informer sur le pourcentage d’observance de l’hygiène des mains (Pohm) ? Matériel et méthode. Cette étude rétrospective a été réalisée à partir des données de services d’hospitalisation complète (>24 h) d’un centre hospitalier universitaire d’octobre 2014 à juin 2022. Les audits d’observation de l’hygiène des mains avec au minimum 25 observations, un Pohm >25% et un Icsha local trimestriel (Icshal-t) compris entre 25% et 120% ont été inclus. Les variables recueillies étaient le type d’activité du service audité, le trimestre et l’année de l’audit, le Pohm et l’indicateur Ichsal-t correspondant au trimestre de réalisation de l’audit. Une régression linéaire simple (RLS) puis multiple (RLM) de Pohm sur Icshal-t a été réalisée. Un p<0,05 a été considéré comme significatif. Résultats. Sur la période étudiée, 152 audits d’observation avaient été réalisés, dont 62 répondaient aux critères d’inclusion. Les médianes du Pohm et de l’Icshal-t étaient respectivement de 69% [IQ:55-80] et 52% [IQ:40-76]. Pour tous les secteurs, le Pohm médian était supérieur à l’Icshal-t sauf pour les soins continus ou intensifs où il était inférieur aux Icshal-t correspondants. La RLS a montré l’existence d’une relation linéaire positive modérée entre Pohm et Icshal-t (p=0,0008), confirmée par la RLM après ajustement sur le type de secteur de soins et l’année de réalisation de l’audit (p=0,017). Conclusion. Il existe une relation linéaire positive entre le Pohm et l’Icshal-t. La surveillance de l’Icshal-t pourrait apporter une information pertinente sur le niveau d’observance de l’hygiène des mains. Elle pourrait aider à mieux cibler et affiner les audits observationnels pour les aspects relatifs aux moments et à la qualité des gestes d’hygiène des mains.

description: Composite Higgs Models are often constructed including fermionic top partners with a mass around the TeV scale, with the top partners playing the role of stabilizing the Higgs potential and enforcing partial compositeness for the top quark. A class of models of this kind can be formulated in terms of fermionic strongly coupled gauge theories. A common feature they all share is the presence of specific additional scalar resonances, namely two neutral singlets and a colored octet, described by a simple effective Lagrangian. We study the phenomenology of these scalars, both in a model independent and model dependent way, including the bounds from all the available searches in the relevant channels with di-boson and di-top final states. We develop a generic framework which can be used to constrain any model containing pseudo-scalar singlets or octets. Using it, we find that such signatures provide strong bounds on the compositeness scale complementary to the traditional EWPT and Higgs couplings deviations. In many cases a relatively light scalar can be on the verge of discovery as a first sign of new physics.

description: Drei Jahrzehnte nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung im Oktober 1990 rücken deren oft nur schwer überschaubare Nachgeschichten mit Macht wieder ins Blickfeld von Politik, Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit. Fortbestehende Ost-West-Differenzen sowie populistische Wahlerfolge werden als Symptome einer noch immer nicht erreichten „Inneren Einheit“ gedeutet. Dementsprechend finden sich Behauptungen und Vermutungen über „Ostdeutsche“ derzeit wieder gehäuft – sei es in Talkshows, in Zeitungen, im Internet, auf Familienfesten oder auch am Stammtisch. Sehr schnell wird dabei die ostdeutsche Vergangenheit zur Erklärung gegenwärtiger Probleme sowie fortbestehender Differenzen herangezogen. Während ein Lager die mentalen Langzeitfolgen sowie das schwierige Erbe der repressiven SED-Diktatur hierfür verantwortlich macht, verweisen andere vehement auf die durch neoliberale Transformationsstrategien ausgelösten, schockartigen Umbruchserfahrungen nach 1990. Gerade jenseits dieser beiden geschichtspolitischen Pole lohnt ein differenzierter Blick auf die jüngste Vergangenheit. Die Frage steht im Raum, was die zeithistorische Forschung zu dem Thema Neues beitragen kann. In diesem Dossier wollen wir eine facettenreiche Bestandsaufnahme aktueller geschichtswissenschaftlicher Forschungen zu Beginn des erwartbaren Jubiläumsreigens 2019/20 wagen und eruieren, welche neuen Deutungsangebote es gibt. Zugleich geht der Blick über die eigene Disziplin hinaus, indem danach gefragt wird, was andere von der Geschichtswissenschaft erwarteten oder erhofften.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.

description: In an increasingly global world, multinational corporations (MNCs) seek to leverage their resources and capabilities to achieve global competitive advantage. Human resources are a significant capability and hence employee development initiatives play a major role in securing competitive advantage. Using the Barlett and Ghoshal (1989) model of MNC organizational strategy, this study aimed to examine the influence of organizational strategy on commitment to employee development in subsidiaries. The study also examined the influence of commitment to employee development on employee turnover in subsidiaries. The manufacturing industry in Malaysia was chosen as the context of the investigation. Applying a multi-stage research method, a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results from cluster analysis revealed two prevalent strategies: multidomestic and global strategies. Further analyses revealed that organizational strategy does influence commitment to employee development. In particular, MNCs that adopt the multidomestic strategy have higher commitment to employee development in their subsidiaries than global MNCs. The research revealed that multidomestic subsidiaries have fewer linkages with their parents and other subsidiaries. Thus, they need to develop their own employee development policies and practices. On the other hand, global subsidiaries have strong linkages to their parent company, promoting the transfer of practices from the parent to the subsidiary. Hence, global subsidiaries commit less to employee development. In terms of the relationship between commitment to employee development and employee turnover, the relationship was found to be statistically non-significant. That is, it was found that commitment to employee development does not lead to employees reciprocating with loyalty and staying with the organisation, which is contrary to social exchange theory. One possible reason could be due to employees viewing development programs as additional work which requires more effort, resulting in job dissatisfaction and turnover. Also, organisations may simply be reacting to legal obligations and other government initiatives when initiating employee development. In such cases, employee development is less likely to have an impact on employee turnover. It is hoped that, through this study, researchers and managers will be better equipped to address this important area of management. Although this study has its limitations, it makes an important contribution to understanding the relationship between MNC organisational strategies, commitment to employee development and employee turnover in subsidiaries.

description: Das neu entflammte öffentliche und zeithistorische Interesse an der wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Transformation Ostdeutschlands nach dem Zusammenbruch der DDR kommt bisher meist ohne Seitenblicke auf die parallelen Entwicklungen in Ostmittel- und Osteuropa aus. Vielmehr wird die Frage, wie die DDR nach 1989/90 zu „Ostdeutschland“ wurde, immer noch im Wesentlichen innerhalb eines deutsch-deutschen Bezugsrahmens diskutiert. Seine neuerliche Brisanz gewinnt dieser unverkennbar aus der Gegenwart, in der viele westdeutsch Sozialisierte „den Osten“ aufs Neue zur hoffnungslosen Problemzone der ansonsten gefestigten bundesdeutschen Demokratie stilisieren. Dagegen greifen nicht wenige Ostdeutsche zur Selbstviktimisierung als identitätspolitischer Strategie und glauben, in der Treuhand jene Übeltäterin ausgemacht zu haben, die für alle Verletzungen der ostdeutschen Seele verantwortlich zu machen sei.
