Year: 2023

description: Freudian hallucinations spur Eddie Masterson to leave his parents' funeral home and enroll at Muddleburg Kollege. Moments after Eddie gains acceptance, Muddleburg's premier history scholar drops dead; Eddie generously offers to bury Professor Lewis. The next day, Eddie ogles Vanessa Barbarerro at the funeral, then embarks for Muddleburg with high hopes, unaware that Lewis has stowed away in his hearse. Eddie arrives and is immediately confronted by Millicent Twittle, an eccentric librarian who claims that Fate himself told her that Lewis is alive--and nearby. Lewis promptly steals Millicent's Fate Formulizer; Eddie subdues Lewis, but not before the Formulizer is hidden--and found by Vanessa, who accidentally causes Fate to materialize in the form of a troll. While Fate continually pesters the freshman, Eddie falls in love with Vanessa; but only when he realizes that Fate must be confronted and conquered does the young hero discover his true identity.

Music, Passion and Virtue in Two Quodlibetal Questions of the Philosopher Pierre d’Auvergne
Creators: name: Dyer, Joseph
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2017

description: The two quaestiones to which the philosopher-theologian Pierre d’Auvergne responded during his last Quodlibetal (1301) at the University of Paris are among the rare examples of interest in music in the literature of academic quaestiones disputatae. Pierre’s answers to the questions are not restricted to philosophical argument but extend to physiological considerations. His goal is to prove not only that music can arouse passion and promote virtue but to explain how it does so. He will explain how apprehension of a stimulus (music) by the senses is transformed by the circulation of blood, warmth, spirit, and ‘first qualities’ into a passion that involves the entire body. Music also possesses the power to encourage the practice of virtue through a correspondence between musical proportion and comparable proportions in the human body. For this purpose vocal music is preferable to instrumental music. Boethius is cited but Pierre’s proofs do not depend on the proportions of musica instrumentalis and musica humana, but on principles of natural science.

description: A widespread method for now- and forecasting economic macro level parameters such as GDP growth rates are survey-based  indicators which contain early information in contrast to official data. But surveys are commonly affected by nonresponding units which can produce biases if these missing values can not be regarded as missing at random. As many papers examined the effect of nonresponse in individual or household surveys, only less is known in the case of business surveys. So, literature leaves a gap on this issue. For this reason, we analyse and impute the missing observations in the Ifo Business Survey, a large business survey in Germany. The most prominent result of this survey is the Ifo Business Climate Index, a leading indicator for  the German business cycle. To reflect the underlying latent data generating process, we compare different imputation approaches for longitudinal data. After this, the microdata are aggregated and the results are compared with the original indicators to evaluate their implications on the macro level. Finally, we show that the bias is minimal and ignorable.

description: We propose a class of estimation techniques for scalar-on-function regression in longitudinal studies where both outcomes, such as test results on motor functions, and functional predictors, such as brain images, may be observed at multiple visits. Our methods are motivated by a longitudinal brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography study. One of the primary goals of the study is to evaluate the contemporaneous association between human function and brain imaging over time. The complexity of the study requires development of methods that can simultaneously incorporate: (1) multiple functional (and scalar) regressors; (2) longitudinal outcome and functional predictors measurements per patient; (3) Gaussian or non-Gaussian outcomes; and, (4) missing values within functional predictors. We review existing approaches designed to handle such types of data and discuss their limitations. We propose two versions of a new method, longitudinal functional principal components regression. These methods extend the well-known functional principal component regression and allow for different effects of subject-specific trends in curves and of visit-specific deviations from that trend. The different methods are compared in simulation studies, and the most promising approaches are used for analyzing the tractography data.
Tonal Organisation in Some F-MS Two-Voice Motets
Creators: name: Sabaino, Daniele
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2017

description: The essay examines the tonal organisation of two-voice motets from Firenze, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, ms. Pluteo 29.1. For each of them, the way in which the Tenor was extracted from chant, the melodic pattern of the upper voice, and the vertical relationships that subdivide the music continuum into discrete units are taken into account. The analysis reveals that (1) octoechos modality is a very weak structuring element of the musical flow, despite the modal-by-definition nature of their Tenores, and therefore (2) motet tonal organisation is not regulated by modal considerations, but by the force of the vertical interaction of the two voices. The comparison with conducti from the same Gothic repertoire that closes the essay, finally, shows that, paradoxically, the modal texture is weaker in motets than in conducti, even though these one have no connection to pre-existing liturgical melodies.

Year: 2017

description: The inventory of the music collection that belonged to Infante don Luis de Borbón, Luigi Boccherini’s employer between 1770 and 1785, offers a new insight into the composer’s oeuvre and the way he developed it; not only the chronology of many of his works must be reviewed, but also the kind of music he wrote during these 15 years and the way he traded with it after the Infante’s death. Overall, this important document confirms different hypothesis that have been put forward in the last years and calls for the re-evaluation of the composer’s musical practice and trading procedures, as well as many important aspects of his biography related to these aspects.

Subjects: subject: antitrust and intellectual property law, patent settlements, collusion, per se rule, rule of reason, Hatch-Waxman Act
subject: 330

description: In this paper, we ask whether courts should continue to rule settlements in the context of pharmaceutical claims per se legal, when these settlements comprise payments from originator to generic companies, potentially delaying generic entry compared to the underlying litigation. Within a theoretical framework we compare consumer welfare under the rule of per se legality with that under alternativestandards. We find that the rule of per se legality induces maximal collusion among settling companies. In comparison, the rule of per se illegality entirely prevents collusion and the rule of reason induces limited collusion whenantitrust enforcement is subject to error. Contrary to intuition, limited collusion can be welfare enhancing as it increases companies' expected settlement profits and thus fosters generic entry. Generic companies obtain additional incentives to challenge probabilistic patents, which potentially leads to overall increased competition. We further show that generic entry is fostered more effectively by inducing limited collusion than by rewarding first generic entrants with an exclusivity right.

From the Piazza to the Screen - Observations on the Spread of YouTube and its Use among the Madonna dell’Arco Battenti in Naples
Creators: name: Rizzoni, Claudio
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2017

description: In this paper I analyze some of the effects of the recent spread of YouTube among the battenti devoted to the cult of the Madonna dell’Arco, in Naples. The music performed during the battenti’s rites (devotional songs and brass band music) is linked to devotional and identity symbolic horizons, whose manipulation is used by different groups of devotees to legitimize themselves as ritual mediators representing their local neighbourhood. One of the most relevant effects deriving from the spread of YouTube can be recognized in the exaltation of some already existent social dynamics, connected to imitation and distinction strategies. As a result of the spread of YouTube, changes in the musical phenomena connected to the rites – one of the effects of the mentioned strategies – are now happening faster than in the past, leading to radical innovations in brass band music, and to the introduction of new musical genres, such as the neomelodica pop song.

description: La presente intervención se basó en un proceso de sistematización pedagógica, en el que se realizó un análisis del contexto institucional y del área de lenguaje de la IED Paulo VI situada en la localidad de Kennedy. Este análisis fue acompañado con la implementación de una prueba diagnóstica que evaluaba las cuatro habilidades comunicativas de la población muestra, encontrando en sus resultados que la escritura desde la producción de textos era la que requería de un proceso de mejoramiento. Este hallazgo dio pauta a la pregunta problema de la investigación: ¿Cómo favorecer las funciones ejecutivas que enriquecen el proceso de producción escrita por medio de un modelo cognitivo de escritura?. A partir de esto se logró reconocer la necesidad de implementar un proceso de activación y apropiación de pre-recurrentes cognitivos base para la construcción escrita, además de acudir también a las funciones ejecutivas (FE). Al resaltar las habilidades cognitivas necesarias para la escritura, se toma el modelo cognitivo de escritura con el fin de activar, ejecutar y mejorar las habilidades, por tal motivo se determina que las FE aportan de mayor manera a este modelo. Se determina que, para integrar estas habilidades cognitivas, las cuales son un aspecto fundamental en el ámbito educativo y así generan un mayor aporte al proceso escolar.
description: The present intervention was based on a process of pedagogical systematization, in which an analysis of the institutional context and the language area of the IED Paulo VI located in the locality of Kennedy was carried out. This analysis was accompanied by the implementation of a diagnostic test that evaluated the four communicative skills of the sample population, finding in its results that writing from the production of texts was the one that required an improvement process. This finding gave rise to the research problem question: How to favor the executive functions that enrich the process of written production by means of a cognitive model of writing? From this it was possible to recognize the need to implement a process of activation and appropriation of cognitive pre-recurrent base for the written construction, in addition to the executive functions (EF). By highlighting the cognitive skills necessary for writing, the cognitive model of writing is taken in order to activate, execute and improve the skills, for this reason it is determined that the EF contribute in a greater way to this model. It is determined that, in order to integrate these cognitive skills, which are a fundamental aspect in the educational environment and thus generate a greater contribution to the school process

description: The decade of the 1980s has witnessed dramatic changes in Mexico's political, social, and economic environment. As an integral part of that environment, the military has been affected by these changes. This thesis examines how these changes have affected the military's political influence and institutional needs. It concludes that the changes suggest continuing increases in political influence, expanding institutional interests, and, as a result, an overall improvement in the military's position within the political system. While the thesis focuses on changes during the De la Madrid and Lopez Portillo administrations, the process of depoliticizing and professionalizing the military, begun in the 1920s, is also examined, as are the military's major institutional interests and activities through the present. Finally, major trends affecting the institution are analyzed and assessed regarding how they may affect civil-military relations and the civilian leadership's ability to maintain its authority over the military institution.

description: Günter Wallraff ist seit über 30 Jahren einer der prominentesten und erfolgreichsten investigativ arbeitenden Journalisten Europas. Seine Reportagen wurden in über 25 Sprachen übersetzt und erlangten weltweiten Bestseller-Status. Die Quintessenz Wallraffs Arbeiten ist das Aufdecken von Missständen in der Gesellschaft mit Hilfe der Methode der verdeckten Recherche. Im Laufe seiner Karriere schlich sich Wallraff in dutzende Firmen und Betriebe ein, um als vermeintlicher Mitarbeiter ungerechte Arbeitsumstände oder mangelnde Personalführung aufzudecken und diese anschließend der Öffentlichkeit in Form von Reportagen oder Berichten zu präsentieren. Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Folgen für die Unternehmen und deren Mitarbeitern nach der Veröffentlichung einer solchen Reportage von Günter Wallraff. Durch Hilfe von Gesprächen, unter anderem mit Günter Wallraff und ehemaligen Mitarbeitern der bereits erwähnten Unternehmen, konnte dieses bisher eher unbeachtete Thema unter einem ethischen Blickwinkel näher beleuchtet werden. Die Reportagen Wallraffs hatten für die betroffenen Firmen nach der Veröffentlichung durchwegs negative Konsequenzen, die sich in Form von Imageschäden, Absatzminimierungen und juristischen Folgen abzeichneten. Für die Mitarbeiter hatten die diversen Aufdeckungsreportagen verschiedene Auswirkungen, die zwischen Lohnerhöhungen, strengeren Überwachungen, Bespitzelungen und Entlassungen variierten. Diese Arbeit betrachtet die Thematik aus den Blickwinkeln Günter Wallraffs, den geschädigten Unternehmen und den Angestellten, um dadurch den objektivsten Einblick zu erhalten.
description: Since over 30 years Günter Wallraff is one of the most prominent and successful investigative journalists working in Europe. His stories have been translated into over 25 languages and gained worldwide bestseller status. The bottom line of Wallraff ́s work is uncovering abuses in society using the method of covert research. Throughout his career, Wallraff sneaked into dozens of companies and enterprises to expose and unjust working conditions, and personnel management to present them to the public in the form of reports. This thesis deals with the consequences for the company and its employees after the publication of such a report by Günter Wallraff. By means of interviews, including with Günter Wallraff and former employees of the companies already mentioned, this rather neglected topic will shed light on an ethical point of view. The reports had consistently negative consequences for the companies, that have been emerging in the form of reputational damage, sales minimization and legal consequences. For employees, the various disclosure reports had different effects that varied between wage increases, stricter surveillance, spying and layoffs. This work considers the issue from the perspective of Günter Wallraff, the damaged companies and the employees, to thereby obtain the best insight.

THERMAL ENCAPSULATION OF TOXIC METAL SALTS

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The need for alternative treatments for hazardous waste disposal is rapidly growing as landfilling is being phased out by regulatory actions. The objective of this research was to demonstrate that toxic metal salts (cadmium salts) can be encapsulated by slagging. Mixtures of a base material (1 part coal, 1 part limestone, 1 part cadmium salt, and 0.5 part silica) were added to various amounts of borax. These mixtures were heated in a tube furnace. The slag that was formed was subjected to the EPA leaching test (TCLP). The resulting extracts were analyzed for cadmium concentration using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. For this method to comply with federal standards, cadmium concentration in the extract must be below 1 ppm. The results indicate that mixtures of 1 part cadmium to 5 or more parts borax complied with the regulatory level. Extract concentrations ranged from 0.01 ppm to 0.43 ppm. The optimal mix was determined to be a 1:8 mixture of cadmium to borax.

description: In this paper it is shown that using the maximum likelihood (ML) principle for the estimation of multivariate probit models leads to consistent and normally distributed pseudo maximum likelihood regression parameter estimators (PML estimators) even if the `true' correlation structure of the responses is misspecified. As a consequence, e.g. the PML estimator of the random effects probit model may be used to estimate the regression parameters of a model with any `true' correlation structure. This result is independent of the kind of covariates included in the model. The results of a Monte Carlo experiment show that the PML estimator of the independent binary probit model is inefficient relative to the PML estimator of the random effects binary panel probit model and two alternative estimators using the `generalized estimating equations' approach proposed by Liang and Zeger (1986), if the `true' correlations are high. If the `true' correlations are low, the differences between the estimators are small in finite samples and for the models used. Generally, the PML estimator of the random effects probit panel model is very efficient relative to the GEE estimators. Therefore, if correlations between binary responses cannot be ruled out and the `true' structure of association is unknown or infeasible to estimate, the PML estimator of the random effects probit model is recommended.

description: The problem of estimating the coefficients in a linear regression model is considered when some of the response values are missing. The conventional Yates procedure employing least squares predictions for missing values does not lead to any improvement over the least squares estimator using complete observations only. However, if we use Stein-rule predictions, it is demonstrated that some improvement can be achieved. An unbiased estimator of the mean squared error matrix of the proposed estimator of coefficient vector is also presented. Some work on the application of the proposed estimation procedure to real-world data sets involving some discrete variables in the set of explanatory variables is under way and will be reported in future.

description: Stability aspects of recursive partitioning procedures are investigated. Using resampling techniques, diagnostic tools to assess single split stability and overall tree stability are introduced.  To correct for the procedure's preference for covariates with many unique realizations, corrected p-values are used in the factor selection component of the algorithm. Finally, methods to stabilize tree based predictors are discussed.

Creators: name: Scheer, Esther
Year: 2013

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit sollte es werden die Sozialreportage und ihre Bedeutung in den österreichischen Printmedien der Jahre 2002 bis einschließlich 2012 zu ermitteln. Der Stellenwert des anwaltschaftlichen Journalismus soll herausgefunden werden. Im Hinblick auf die gesellschaftspolitischen wie medialen Umstände und Umbrüche, soll mithilfe einer Themenanalyse der thematische Fokus der beiden Wochenmagazine FALTER und NEWS erforscht werden. Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit geht der Forschungsfrage nach, welche sozialkritischen Themen in welchem Ausmaß zur Verwendung kamen. Keine Gattung vermag es so stark und konsequent die basisdemokratischen Werte einer Gesellschaft einzufordern wie es der anwaltschaftliche Journalismus tut. Daher eignet sich die Sozialreportage bestens als Spiegel der Werte, die sich die Gesellschaft selbst gibt. Für das Untersuchungsdesign und um eine intersubjektiv nachvollziehbare Untersuchung zu gewährleisten, musste festgelegt werden welche Beiträge die Kriterien einer Sozialreportage erfüllen, was sich aufgrund einer fehlenden genauen Definition des Terminus Sozialreportage schwieriger gestaltet. Um den Begriff der Sozialreportage dennoch zu operationalisieren und um Nachvollziehbarkeit für das Auszählungsraster zu gewährleisten, wurden Mindestkriterien gebildet.

description: In this paper we discuss maximum likelihood estimation when some observations are missing in mixed graphical interaction models assuming a conditional Gaussian distribution as introduced by Lauritzen&Wermuth (1989). For the saturated case ML estimation with missing values via the EM algorithm has been proposed by Little&Schluchter (1985). We expand their results to the special restrictions in graphical models and indicate a more efficient way to compute the E--step. The main purpose of the paper is to show that for certain missing patterns the computational effort can considerably be reduced.

description: In many practical problems, it is of interest to check whether a functional relationship between an explanatory and a response variable remains unchanged over the whole domain of the explanatory variable or whether the functional form changes at certain unknown points, the so-called breakpoints. Thus, testing for the existence of a breakpoint is often an essential task. In this paper, we consider likelihood-ratio tests for different regression models such as broken line and threshold models. The problem related to the use of likelihood-ratio tests in this context concerns the determination of the null distribution of the likelihood-ratio statistic which has not been solved yet analytically. It is shown by means of Monte-Carlo experiments that the proposals of a limiting distribution discussed in the literature often yield unreliable results. It is therefore recommended to determine appropriate critical values by simulating the null distribution according to the data situation under investigation.
PARENTS' INTERACTIONS WITH THEIR 8-MONTH-OLD INFANTS IN TWO-PERSON AND THREE-PERSON GROUPS

description: To investigate parents' behavior in the triad (mother-father-infant) as compared to the dyad setting (mother-infant or father-infant), 20 families with 8-month-old infants were videotaped in a seminaturalistic laboratory setting. The Greenspan-Lieberman Observation System was used. Analysis revealed unexpected increases in overall and in affectionate parental behavior in the triad. Additionally, both mothers and fathers were more contingent to male infants in the dyad and to female infants in the triad. Other findings include (a) communication between parents was associated with decreased ongoing infant-directed interaction; and (b) more time alone with the infant was associated with decreased affectionate behavior, while more communication between parents was associated with increased affection toward the infant. The increases in parental behavior in the triad are discussed in terms of the characteristics of this population. It is concluded that setting and subject variables may significantly influence the manner in which parents interact with their infants.

description: Das Kino und sein Publikum haben sich in den letzten fast 120 Jahren gewandelt. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Überblick über das Kino sowie sein Publikum im Wandel der Zeit gegeben. Die audiovisuellen Medien haben zugenommen und dem Kino immer wieder Publikum streitig gemacht. Durch Fernsehen, Beamer, Computer, Smartphone sowie Video, DVD, Download oder Stream kann zuhause oder wo man gerade Lust dazu hat ein Film gesehen werden. Doch das Kino stellt auch einen Raum, einen Publikumsraum zur Verfügung, der Einigen Konzentration und den Meisten ein gemeinsames Kinoerlebnis bietet. Verschiedene Forschungen haben Informationen über das Kinopublikum zutage gefördert. Eine eigene quantitative Forschung über die Motive des Filmbühnepublikums in Waidhofen/Ybbs 2013 schließt die Arbeit ab. Zum Zeitvertreib oder aus Langeweile wird das Kino nicht gewählt. Es ist ein Unterhaltungsmedium. Und immer noch und wieder Treffpunkt und Kommunikationsraum.

description: Comprender es mi cuento: “Edgar Allan Poe y la literatura de misterio” es una propuesta pedagógica que tuvo en cuenta la literatura detectivesca presentada en los cuentos del escritor estadounidense Edgar Allan Poe para despertar el interés hacia la lectura de los estudiantes del grado 602 de la Institución Educativa Distrital José María Carbonell, ubicada en la localidad cuarta de San Cristóbal, barrio Las Brisas. Está propuesta surgió a partir de los resultados de diferentes métodos de recolección de información que evidenciaron apatía por parte de los estudiantes hacia la lectura, falta de aprendizaje de estrategias de comprensión de lectura y carencia de hábitos lectores, para lo cual se propuso que a partir de talleres literarios enfocados en Poe y en la enseñanza de estrategias, se lograra acercar a los estudiantes al mundo misterioso de este autor y por medio de sus cuentos se pudiera mejorar los diferentes niveles de lectura. Para lograr este objetivo fue de gran utilidad adentrar a los estudiantes en la psicología de los personajes de los cuentos de Poe al hacerlos participes activos de los mismos para que al revivir este mundo pudieran darse cuenta de que el comprender sí era su cuento.

This proposal arose from the results of different methods of data collection that showed apathy on the part of students towards reading, lack of learning strategies for reading comprehension and lack of reading habits, for which it was proposed that from literary workshops focused on Poe and teaching strategies, students could approach the mysterious world of this author and through his stories could improve the different levels of reading. To achieve this objective, it was very useful to introduce students to the psychology of the characters in Poe's stories by making them active participants in them, so that by reliving this world they could realize that understanding was indeed their story.
Peer Relationships and Chinese Adolescents' Academic Achievement: Processes of Selection and Influence

Subjects: Child and adolescent development

description: Similarity in academic achievement among friends (i.e., academic homophily) can arise from two processes, selection and influence. This study applied stochastic actor-based modeling using SIENA to disentangle friendship selection and social influence regarding academic achievement of Chinese adolescents in a three-year longitudinal sample of 880 middle school students (400 girls, year 1 mean age = 13.33) and 525 high school students (284 girls, year 1 mean age = 16.45). SIENA analyses revealed significant selection and influence effects pertaining to academic achievement for both middle school students and high school students across three years. Chinese adolescents preferred friendships with similarly achieving or higher achieving peers but avoided friendships with lower achieving peers. Friends’ influence on academic achievement can be both beneficial and detrimental. Chinese adolescents were more likely to increase in achievement when they befriended high-achieving peers, but decreased achievement when they were friends with low-achieving peers. There were no significant sex differences or school year differences (i.e., the first to second years versus the second to third years) in selection or influence effects for academic achievement. Influence effects were stronger for middle school students than for high school students, but no significant grade level differences emerged for selection effects. This study expands upon prior research by simultaneously assessing selection and influence effects on academic achievement and further examining the direction and strength of selection and influence processes regarding academic achievement using sophisticated modeling analyses. These results provide insights into the important role of cultural context in peer relationships and academic development by considering the strong pressure Chinese adolescents experience to be academically successful.
