description: In oligopolistic industries that are unionised and may be affected by offshoring, falling offshoring costs have a moderating effect on trade unions. They will accept lower sector wages in order to discourage mobile firms from leaving the country. Since such wages are independent of the workers' domestic outside opportunities, wage moderation - induced by deeper economic integration - creates leeway for the government to engage in redistributive policies even if this improves the workers' domestic outside options. Only if the latter become suffciently attractive will redistribution induce some offshoring, and it is only at that level that further economic integration will lead to both wage moderation and offshoring activities. Therefore, our analysis suggests that rather than provoking a downsizing of the welfare state, offshoring defines an upper limit for the generosity of the welfare state below which redistribution becomes less instead of more distortive.
Risk attitudes and private business equity

subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften::330 Wirtschaft::332 Finanzwirtschaft

description: Why do people engage in entrepreneurship and commit large parts of their personal wealth to their business, despite comparably low returns and high risk? This paper connects several streams of literature to shed some light on this puzzle and suggests possible future research avenues. Key insights from the literature are that entrepreneurs may operate in imperfect financial markets and that entrepreneurs are less risk-averse than the rest of the population. A focus of this paper is, therefore, on the role of heterogeneous risk attitudes in entrepreneurial decisions, specifically portfolio choice and the entry and exit decisions. Nonpecuniary benefits of entrepreneurship, such as being independent in the workplace, also contribute to an explanation of entrepreneurial behavior.
Teacher perspectives on adoption of student-made screencasts as a peer learning approach in secondary school mathematics

subject: Curriculum and pedagogy

description: A secondary school in Melbourne, Australia piloted an innovative programme in Year 10 Advanced Mathematics, in which the students recorded screencasts as a method of student-led peer learning. The four mathematics teachers who piloted the programme were interviewed to gain their perspectives on their experience and the outcomes of the initiative. Thematic analysis revealed the teachers did not recognize a need to adapt their pedagogy to integrate the technology effectively into their teaching. Three of the teachers were also focused on the quality of the screencast product rather than scaffolding the lessons to enable impactful student-led learning. One teacher who did scaffold his lessons felt unable to lead the other teachers in a consistent approach to the project. The study underscores the need for teacher professional development in pedagogical methods for student-centred, technology-enabled learning if the integration of digital technologies in twenty-first century secondary school classrooms is to be successful.

description: We assess the relevance of formal education for the productivity of the self- employed and distinguish between opportunity entrepreneurs, who voluntarily pursue a business opportunity, and necessity entrepreneurs, who lack alternative employment options. We expect differences in the returns to education between these groups because of different levels of control. We use the German Socio-economic Panel and account for the endogeneity of education and non-random selection. The results indicate that the returns to a year of education for opportunity entrepreneurs are 3.5 percentage points higher than the paid employees’ rate of 8.1%, but 6.5 percentage points lower for necessity entrepreneurs.

description: We present the results of HI 21-cm line observations to explore the nature of the high-velocity (HV) HI gas at l ~ 173{\circ} . In low-resolution Hi surveys this HV gas appears as faint, wing-like, HI emission that extends to velocities beyond those allowed by Galactic rotation. We designate this feature FVW (Forbidden Velocity Wing) 172.8+1.5. Our high-resolution (3.'4) Arecibo HI observations show that FVW 172.8+1.5 is composed of knots, filaments, and ring-like structures distributed over an area a few degrees in extent. These HV HI emission features are confined within the limits of the HII complex G173+1.5, which is composed of five Sharpless HII regions distributed along a radio continuum loop of size 4{\circ}.4 {\times} 3{\circ}.4, or ~ 138 pc {\times} 107 pc, at a distance of 1.8 kpc. G173+1.5 is one of the largest star-forming regions in the outer Galaxy. We demonstrate that the HV HI gas is well correlated with the radio continuum loop and that the two seem to trace an expanding shell. The expansion velocity of the shell is large (55 km s-1) suggesting that it represents a supernova-remnant (SNR). We derive physical parameters for the shell and show these to be consistent with the object being a SNR. We also detect hot X-ray emitting gas inside the HII complex by analyzing the ROSAT all-sky X-ray background survey data. This also supports the SNR interpretation. We conclude that the HV HI gas and the X-rays are most likely the products of a supernova explosion(s) within the HII complex, possibly in a cluster that triggered the formation of these HII regions.

Excitation of the aromatic infrared emission bands: Chemical energy in hydrogenated amorphous carbon particles?

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We outline a model for the heating of hydrogenated amorphous (HAC) dust via the release of stored chemical energy and show that this energy (~12 kJ/mole) is sufficient to heat dust grains of classical size (50-1000 Å) to temperatures at which they can emit at 3.3 μm and other "UIR" wavelengths. Using laboratory data, we show that this heating process is consistent with a concentration of a few percent of dangling bonds in HAC and may be initiated by the recombination of trapped H atoms. We suggest that the release of chemical energy from dust represents an additional source of excitation for the UIR bands relaxing the previous requirement that only stochastically heated molecules having fewer than ~ 50 atoms can produce emission at 3.3 μm.

description: Seit Jahrzehnten wird die Brauchbarkeit von Epochenbegriffen immer wieder infrage gestellt, ohne dass in der Praxis (literatur-)wissenschaftlicher Arbeit auf sie verzichtet würde. So erscheinen sie auch im Titel der Forschergruppe und in Titeln von Einzelprojekten. Betrachtet man die Kritik an den Epochenbegriffen etwas näher, ergibt sich, dass in der Regel nicht Epochisierungen generell, sondern spezifische ‚Einschnitte‘ wie derjenige um 1500 infrage gestellt werden. Daneben gibt es unterschiedliche Begründungen für die prinzipielle Unhintergehbarkeit von Epochisierungen. Das Working Paper stellt einige dieser Begründungen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen zusammen und leitet daraus ab, dass es nicht um einen Verzicht auf Epochisierungen gehen kann, sondern darum, wie diese zu konstruieren sind, um kritischen Einwänden zu begegnen.

description: Setbacks are a fact of life for individuals and collectives-and resilience is a key concept in explaining why some entities positively adapt (i.e., bounce back) or even emerge stronger (i.e., bounce beyond), while others suffer from such events, sometimes permanently. In this short note, we briefly introduce the concept of resilience before moving to three key challenges for management research in this field. With this, we would like to encourage the international scholarly research community to view any phenomenon of their interest also from a resilience perspective, considering significant setbacks and processes of positive adaptation.
The color dipole picture of low-x DIS

description: Deep inelastic electron scattering (DIS) from nucleons at low values of the Bjorken variable $x \cong Q^2/W^2 \lsim ~ 0.1$ proceeds via fluctuations of the photon into quark-antiquark dipole states that subsequently interact with the gluon field in the nucleon. Dependent on the interaction energy, $W$, the color-gauge-invariant dipole interaction with the gluon field in the nucleon, for any fixed dipole size, contains the limits of i) color transparency and ii) saturation, where "saturation" stands for the approach to a hadronlike dipole-proton interaction cross section. All essential features of the experimental results on low-x DIS, as a consequence of the color-gauge-invariant dipole interaction follow model independently i.e. without specific ansatz for the dipole cross section. The model-independent results in particular include the low-x scaling behavior of the photoabsorption cross section, $σ_{γ^*p} (W^2,Q^2) = σ_{γ^*p} (η(W^2,Q^2))$, with definite functional dependence on the low-x scaling variable $η(W^2,Q^2) \cong Q^2/Λ^2_{sat} (W^2)$ in the limits of $η(W^2,Q^2) \gg 1$ and $η(W^2,Q^2) \ll 1$, respectively. Consistency with the pQCD-improved parton model implies the definite value of $C_2 \cong 0.29$ for the exponent in the "saturation scale", $Λ^2_{sat} (W^2) \approx (W^2)^{C_2}$. The longitudinal-to-transverse ratio of the photoabsorption cross section at large $Q^2$ has the definite value of $R = 1/2 ρ$ with $ρ= 4/3$. For $W^2 \to \infty$ at any fixed $Q^2$, the photoabsorption cross section converges towards a $Q^2$-independent saturation limit that coincides with the cross section for $Q^2 = 0$ photoproduction.

description: Introduction: Motor but also non-motor effects are modulated by dopamine (DA) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Impaired inhibition has been related to dopamine overdosing of the associative striatum. We compared effects of dopaminergic medication on inhibitory control in patients with young (age at onset <50 years, YOPD) and late onset PD (LOPD) and related them to nigrostriatal degeneration. Methods: 27 patients (10 YOPD, 17 LOPD) underwent a Go/NoGo paradigm comprising a global and specific NoGo condition ON and OFF DA. The ratio of dopamine transporter availability (DAT) in the associative relative to the sensorimotor striatum according to [123I]FP-CIT SPECT was compared between YOPD and LOPD (n = 8/12). Neuro-computational modeling was used to identify pathway activation during Go/NoGo performance. Results: Patients made more errors ON compared to OFF in the global NoGo. This DA effect on global NoGo errors correlated with disease duration (r = 0.489, p = 0.010). YOPD made more errors in the specific NoGo ON-OFF compared to LOPD (p = 0.015). YOPD showed higher associative-to-sensorimotor DAT ratios compared to LOPD (p

description: The rigor versus relevance debate of management research is ongoing. We contribute to this discussion by contrasting alternative assumptions about generating management knowledge and linking knowledge generation to academic governance. Specifically, we show that knowledge-by-representation dominates the field and is reinforced by the governance structures and processes guiding our academic management journals, peer review, and business school practices. We propose governance changes in academic publishing to encourage innovative research that may also generate knowledge-by-exemplification with strong ties to management practice.

description: This paper studies the spread of the Black Death as a proxy for the ow of medieval trade between 1346 and 1351. The Black Death struck most areas of Europe and the wider Mediter- ranean. Based on a modified version of the gravity model, we estimate the speed (in kilometers per day) of transmission of the disease between the transmitting and the receiving cities. We find that the speed depends on distance, political borders, and on the political importance of a city. Furthermore, variables related to the means of transportation like rivers and the sea, religious seasons such as Lent and Advent, and geographical position are of substantial significance. These results are the first to enable us to identify and quantify key variables of medieval trade ows based on an empirical trade model. These results shed new light on many qualitative debates on the importance and causes of medieval trade.

Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Peer review is an evolving process that typically validates the originality and quality of research outcomes. The process holds a vital position in academic research communities to prevent invalid and inaccurate work from being published. With all its benefits, it has been under continuous criticism for its shortcomings and inability to address the issues adequately, like preventing fraudulent and impostor reviewers from becoming a formal part of the process. Therefore, the research communities usually need help finding appropriate and suitable reviewers for their research events. To assess the suitability of a reviewer for a specific research event, the research event management team (Chairs, Organising Committee) analyses certain aspects of a researcher's profile before inviting them to participate in the reviewing process. This thesis investigates the aspects the research event management considers before inviting researchers for peer review. The unavailability of information about how a researcher has performed as a reviewer makes it more challenging for event management. In case such information reaches the event management, it becomes difficult to establish trust in that information. The thesis also investigates the acknowledgement and incentives researchers receive for participating in the reviewing process. A framework based upon decentralised and distributed technologies is presented in the thesis to address these peer review issues. The framework involves using blockchain technology that enables the accumulation of the reviewing records of researchers from multiple research events. It also helps establish trust in the reviewing records and devise a mechanism to incentivise reviewers transparently. Two research studies in the thesis involve recording and analysing researchers' viewpoints on different peer review perspectives and practices. The results of these research studies demonstrate the positive impact of using decentralised and distributed technologies for accumulating the reviewing records of researchers across multiple research events and incentivising reviewers.
Quantum and Superquantum Nonlocal Correlations

description: We present a simple hidden variable model for the singlet state of a pair of qubits, characterized by two kinds, hierarchically ordered, of hidden variables. We prove that, averaging over both types of variables, one reproduces all the quantum mechanical correlations of the singlet state. On the other hand, averaging only over the hidden variables of the lower level, one obtains a general formal theoretical scheme exhibiting correlations stronger than the quantum ones, but with faster-than-light communication forbidden. This result is interesting by itself since it shows that a violation of the quantum bound for nonlocal correlations can be implemented in a precise physical manner and not only mathematically, and it suggests that resorting to two levels of nonlocal hidden variables might led to a deeper understanding of the physical principles at the basis of quantum nonlocality.

description: Staatliche Instrumente zur Einkommenssicherung im Niedriglohnbereich durch „Kombilohn-Modelle“ existieren auch in Deutschland schon seit längerem und wurden im Zuge der jüngsten Arbeitsmarktreformen ausgeweitet. Aktuelle Reformvorschläge für Deutschland zielen zum einen auf die weiterführende Reform des Niedriglohnsektors, zum anderen auf dessen Rückführung durch die Einführung eines gesetzlichen Mindestlohns. In diesem Beitrag werden die Einführung eines gesetzlichen Mindestlohns ohne und mit einer kompensierenden Lohnsubvention an die Arbeitgeber sowie ein „Beschäftigungsbonus“ an Vollzeitbeschäftigte mit geringen Stundenlöhnen als Reformalternativen zur Einkommenssicherung im Niedriglohnsektor betrachtet. Die Verteilungswirkungen dieser Reformalternativen werden mittels eines empirischen Mikrosimulationsmodells unter Berücksichtigung potenzieller Arbeitsmarkteffekte und des Budgetausgleichs evaluiert. Insgesamt weisen die Simulationsergebnisse darauf hin, dass der Beschäftigungsbonus die Einkommenssituation im Niedriglohnbereich gegenüber dem Status quo verbessern und die Ungleichheit der Einkommen sowie die gemessene Armut etwas reduzieren könnte. Von dieser Reformalternative sind in dieser Hinsicht auch etwas bessere Ergebnisse als von der aufkommensneutralen Einführung eines gesetzlichen Mindestlohns von 7,50 € pro Stunde zu erwarten. Dieser wäre mit (geringen) Beschäftigungsverlusten und für den Großteil der Haushalte mit sinkenden Realeinkommen aufgrund höherer Güterpreise verbunden, auch wenn die fiskalische Rückverteilung über eine kompensierende Subventionierung der Arbeitskosten erfolgt.

Taking public services back into public hands: reverse privatisation reforms in Australia
Creators: name: Chiu, Osmond
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Privatisation is widely unpopular in the community and has led to reverse privatisation reforms despite the ongoing hegemony of neoliberalism. The existing literature, however, has limitations as it has primarily focused on two broad groups of causes: pragmatic reasons and political processes, explaining the extent of reverse privatisation reforms rather than understanding its underlying processes. The literature has also focused on remunicipalisation in North America and Europe with limited research on Australia despite it being an early adopter of privatisation. This study will closely examine Port Macquarie Base Hospital and Mildura Base Hospital, two similar Australian case studies, to understand the processes of reverse privatisation reforms. Australia has been selected because of limited existing literature and its economic history of shifts between public and private control. The case studies were chosen from the Global Database of De-privatised Public Services. Methodologically, the study draws on Bart Voorn’s temporal framework that categorises the causes of reverse privatisation reforms as political causes, pragmatic causes, and structural factors, and broader policy literature such as historical institutionalism, power resource theory, and policy viability. The study uses publicly available existing sources and semi-structured interviews, conducted with representatives of key actors, selected through theoretical sampling, to explore the role of actors, institutions, and ideas in privatisation reversals at the Port Macquarie Base Hospital and Mildura Base Hospital. I expect the findings of this research will assist in better understanding the process of reverse privatisation reform in Australia, providing insights and potential strategies for citizens and policy makers who wish to bring public services back into public hands.

Während der Erfolg der mathematischen Naturwissenschaft zu platonischen Spekulationen über eine mathematische Verfassung der Wirklichkeit Anlass gab, verweist der Aspekt der instrumentellen Vermittlung im Messprozess auf einen neuzeitlichen Naturbegriff, der diese in Hinsicht auf ihre technische Verfügbarkeit erfasst, womit sich die Messung in das neuzeitliche Projekt einer technischen Naturbeherrschung einschreibt.

description: Η έννοια του συναισθήματος από εποχή σε εποχή και από τόπο σε τόπο, κι ενώ έχει πανανθρώπινη ισχύ, διαφοροποιείται. Το κατά Ματθαίον ευαγγέλιο είναι το ευαγγέλιο, το οποίο μας παρέδωσε ένας αμαρτωλός και ασήμαντος τελώνης, για εκείνη την εποχή του 1ου αι. μ.Χ. της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου. Είναι, ακόμη, το ευαγγέλιο της πρωτοφανέστατης μαρτυρίας, διότι επιχειρεί να μεταφέρει το μήνυμα του συγγραφέα του σε Ιουδαίους και Εθνικούς· Ο Ιησούς είναι ο Μεσσίας. Οι χαρακτήρες του κατά Ματθαίον ευαγγελίου βιώνουν την τραγικότητά τους. Η Ελληνορωμαϊκή εποχή προβάλλεται κάτω από τα πρότυπα της ανδρείας και οι συμπεριφορές επιβάλλονται. Οι άνθρωποι, λοιπόν, στο κατά Ματθαίον ευαγγέλιο, ερευνώνται με βάση το τότε. Για την εκπόνηση της εργασίας, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν κυρίως κείμενα αρχαίων Ελλήνων και Λατίνων φιλοσόφων, και συγκρίνοντας ακόμη τους άλλους δυο συνοπτικούς Μάρκο-Λουκά, διακρίναμε τη μεταξύ τους συνάφεια. Το ενδιαφέρον εντοπίζεται στο γεγονός ότι το θέμα της Διπλωματικής απαιτούσε τη γνώση επιστημών, εκτός του αντικειμένου της Θεολογίας, όπως και την έρευνα ξενόγλωσσης βιβλιογραφίας. Επιπλέον, δόθηκε χώρος στη Λογοτεχνία και γενικά στην Τέχνη. Εν κατακλείδι, ακολουθώντας την ιστορικοκριτική μέθοδο και την αφηγηματολογική ανάλυση των κειμένων, εξάγαμε ασφαλή συμπεράσματα.
description: The concept of emotion from time to time and from place to place, while it has universal power, varies. The Gospel according to Matthew is the gospel handed down to us by a sinful and insignificant tax collector about that time in the 1st century. A.D. of the Eastern Mediterranean. It is also the gospel of the most unprecedented witness, for it attempts to convey its author's message to Jews and Gentiles; Jesus is the Messiah. The characters of Matthew's Gospel experience their tragedy. The Greco-Roman era is projected under the standards of bravery and attitudes are imposed. So people in Matthew's Gospel are investigated based on what they were then. For the elaboration of the work, mainly texts of ancient Greek and Latin philosophers were used, and even comparing the other two synoptic Mark-Luke, we discerned the connection between them. The interesting thing lies in the fact that the subject of the Thesis required the knowledge of sciences, apart from the subject of Theology, as well as the research of foreign language literature. In addition, space was given to Literature and Art in general. In conclusion, following the historical-critical method and the narrative analysis of the texts, we drew safe conclusions.

description: Previous studies find that past unemployment reduces life satisfaction even after reemployment for non-monetary reasons (unemployment scarring). It is not clear, however, whether this scarring is only caused by employment-related factors, such as worsened working conditions, or increased future uncertainty as regards income and employment. Using German panel data, we identify non- employment-related scarring by examining the transition of unemployed people to retirement as a life event after which employment-related scarring does not matter anymore. We find evidence for non-employment-related non-monetary unemployment scarring for people who were unemployed for the first time in their life directly prior to retirement, but not for people with earlier unemployment experiences.

description: The influence of the temperature and its fluctuations on the ion saturation current and the floating potential, which are typical quantities measured by Langmuir probes in the turbulent edge region of fusion plasmas, is analysed by global nonlinear gyrofluid simulations for two exemplary parameter regimes. The numerical simulation facilitates a direct access to densities, temperatures and the plasma potential at different radial positions around the separatrix. This allows a comparison between raw data and the calculated ion saturation current and floating potential within the simulation. Calculations of the fluctuation-induced radial particle flux and its statistical properties reveal significant differences to the actual values at all radial positions of the simulation domain, if the floating potential and the temperature averaged density inferred from the ion saturation current is used.

description: In seasonally ice-covered seas and along the margins of perennial ice pack, i.e. in regions with medium ice concentrations, the ice cover typically consists of separate floes interacting with each other by inelastic collisions. In this paper, hitherto unexplored analogies between this type of ice cover and two-dimensional granular gases are used to formulate a model of ice dynamics at the floe level. The model consists of: (i) momentum equations for floe motion between collisions, formulated in the form of a Stokes-flow problem, with floe-size dependent time constant and equilibrium velocity, and (ii) hard-disk collision model. The numerical algorithm developed is suitable for simulating particle-laden flow of $N$ disk-shaped floes with arbitrary size distribution. The model is applied to study clustering phenomena in sea ice with power-law floe-size distribution. In particular, the influence of the average ice concentration $\bar{A}$ on the formation and characteristics of clusters is analyzed in detail. The results show the existence of two regimes, at low and high ice concentration, differing in terms of the exponents of the cluster-size distribution and of the size of the largest cluster.

description: The transition from an oil-based to a knowledge-based economy requires that the Saudi population dramatically increases its level of human capital. This paper argues that noncognitive skills may be a bottleneck in the formation of human capital and proposes a policy to indirectly strengthen those skills. The core of the proposal is a government-financed gift to each Saudi citizen reaching adult age, the SSGY.

description: Using the Green's function of the 3D heat equation, we develop an analytical account of the thermal behaviour of superconducting films subjected to electrical currents larger than their critical current in the absence of an applied magnetic field. Our model assumes homogeneity of films and current density, and besides thermal coefficients employs parameters obtained by fitting to experimental electrical field - current density characteristics at constant bath temperature. We derive both a tractable dynamic equation for the real temperature of the film up to the supercritical current density J^\ast (the lowest current density inducing transition to the normal state), and a thermal stability criterion that allows prediction of J^\ast . For two typical YBCO films, J^\ast predictions agree with observations to within 5%. These findings strongly support the hypothesis that a current-induced thermal instability is generally the origin of the breakdown of superconductivity under high electrical current densities, at least at temperatures not too far from Tc.

description: In 2017 Disney started producing and releasing remakes for some of the most popular films dating back to the Disney “Renaissance” era that lasted from 1989 to 1999. Despite, or perhaps due to the attempts of the company to present itself as inclusive and progressive, the remakes were criticized for their lackluster LGBTQ+ representation. This MA thesis will attempt to explore the reasons behind the difference in the reception of the films. To achieve that, we will examine of the “Renaissance” era of Disney and a comprehensive overview of the representation of queer people in American Film and Television. Additionally, I will provide an explanation of relevant terms from the theoretical framework, Queer Theory. These terms are “queer reading”, “queer coding”, “camp”, “Diva Villain” and “Gay Sidekick”. Using the understanding we have gained, we will then analyse and compare the characters of the original films with their re-imagined counterparts.
description: Το 2017 η Disney ξεκίνησε την παραγωγή και κυκλοφορία ταινιών-remake για κάποιες από τις πιο δημοφιλείς ταινίες της από την εποχή της “Αναγέννησης της Disney” που διήρκεσε από το 1989 έως το 1999. Παρά, ή ίσως λόγω των προσπαθειών της εταιρείας να παρουσιαστεί ως περιεκτική και προοδευτική, τα remakes αυτά έχουν επικριθεί για την απογοητευτική εκπροσώπησή της ΛΟΑΤΚΙ κοινότητας. Αυτή η διπλωματική εργασία μεταπτυχιακού θα προσπαθήσει να διερευνήσει τους λόγους πίσω από την έντονη διαφορά στην υποδοχή των πρωτότυπων ταινιών και των remake τους. Για να το πετύχουμε αυτό, θα εξετάσουμε την εποχή της “Αναγέννησης της Disney” και μια ολοκληρωμένη επισκόπηση της αναπαράστασης των μελών της ΛΟΑΤΚΙ κοινότητας στον αμερικανικό κινηματογράφο και τηλεόραση. Επιπλέον, θα εξηγήσω ορισμένους βασικούς αλλά κρίσιμους όρους από το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο, την “Queer Θεωρία”. Αυτοί οι όροι είναι τα: “queer reading”, “queer coding”, “camp”, “Diva Villain” και “Gay Sidekick”. Αφού κατανοήσουμε τους όρους αυτούς θα αναλύσουμε και θα συγκρίνουμε τους χαρακτήρες των πρωτότυπων ταινιών με τις μοντέρνες εκδοχές τους.

description: This paper provides new empirical insights on the elasticity of taxable income to the net-oftax rate. Using a panel of German income tax return data, we followed taxpayers from 2001 to 2006 to analyze the effects of the German tax reforms of 2004 and 2005. Implementing a dynamic model as proposed by Holmlund and Söderström (2011), we are able to disentangle short-term and long-term responsiveness. These estimates allow us to distinguish between different dimensions of behavioral changes: short-term income reactions in contrast to ‘real’ changes in (reporting) behavior. We compare our results with recent German estimates from the established approach by Gruber and Saez (2002) applied by Gottfried and Witzcak (2009). Following Chetty`s (2009) theoretical considerations, we use multiple (tax code related) income concepts and alternative sample choices. We provide several robustness and validity analyses of the most common income concept, i.e. taxable income excluding capital. Our preferred specification yields (very) high short-term yet small long-term elasticites. The latter range from 0 to 0.16, implying none or only modest persistent behavioral changes to marginal tax rate cuts.

description: As part of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) multi-cycle program, we observed a 12' \times 6.5' area of the bulge of M31 with the WFC3/UVIS filters F275W and F336W. From these data we have assembled a sample of \sim4000 UV-bright, old stars, vastly larger than previously available. We use updated Padova stellar evolutionary tracks to classify these hot stars into three classes: Post-AGB stars (P-AGB), Post-Early AGB (PE-AGB) stars and AGB-manqué stars. P-AGB stars are the end result of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase and are expected in a wide range of stellar populations, whereas PE-AGB and AGB-manqué (together referred to as the hot post-horizontal branch; HP-HB) stars are the result of insufficient envelope masses to allow a full AGB phase, and are expected to be particularly prominent at high helium or α abundances when the mass loss on the RGB is high. Our data support previous claims that most UV-bright sources in the bulge are likely hot (extreme) horizontal branch stars (EHB) and their progeny. We construct the first radial profiles of these stellar populations, and show that they are highly centrally concentrated, even more so than the integrated UV or optical light. However, we find that this UV-bright population does not dominate the total UV luminosity at any radius, as we are detecting only the progeny of the EHB stars that are the likely source of the UVX. We calculate that only a few percent of MS stars in the central bulge can have gone through the HP-HB phase and that this percentage decreases strongly with distance from the center. We also find that the surface density of hot UV-bright stars has the same radial variation as that of low-mass X-ray binaries. We discuss age, metallicity, and abundance variations as possible explanations for the observed radial variation in the UV-bright population.

description: Over the years, the increasingly domineering heavy hand of the fashion industry’s ‘take make-waste’ production paradigm has contributed to the creation of systems that support fast production, easy purchases and frequent disposal of inexpensive, poorly designed and often low-quality garments. Prior research has slowly but steadily been working towards highlighting the fundamental role that garment mending can play in supporting product longevity. While addressing clothing breakages through mending has been considerably explored as a user practice, how it can inform the process of garment design has remained under-researched. Therefore, this paper takes its theoretical inspiration from ‘broken-world thinking’ with a repair-centred sensibility as its point of departure. Here we take malfunction, as opposed to innovation or design, as the starting point of change and garment design. Through this paper we then explore the opportunities to introduce and weave a repair ethos into every stage of the garment design process. In this way, we highlight the inseparability of repair from design and the importance that basic design decisions can have for facilitating cultures of mending. We also identify the challenges and opportunities that such an approach entail. This paper presents findings from three student workshops in three design universities in different geographical locations. By exploring the preliminary results of this work we open up a discussion on re-evaluating present-day fashion design approaches by initiating a move towards a design sensibility for repair which is fundamental to the process of fashion design, particularly in the context of sustainability.
