title: The Origin and Petrogenesis of the Ethiopian Flood Basalts
Creators: name: Davies, Marc Kerry
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: The volcanic rocks of the Afro-Arabian volcanic province chart the nature and evolution of the mantle plume source responsible for a major continental flood basalt event and the manner in which it interacted with the lithosphere over the course of continental separation. The flood basalts of the Ethiopian Plateau constitute the larger part of this province and are associated with melting in the head of the Afar Plume. High-Ti picrites from the eastern part of the NW Plateau are among the earliest uncontaminated outpourings of flood volcanism; their compositions are therefore considered to be close to that of the primary melt. These are exposed in a stratigraphically coherent sequence with variably porphyritic high-Ti olivine-rich basalts and ankaramites, which together provide a continuous record of volcanism reflecting a transition from high- to low-flux magmatism. Phase-relations differ fromthose in other tholeiitic flood basalts in that clinopyroxene and magnetite crystallisebefore plagioclase. This is typical of ferropicrites and reflects a high-Fe-Ti-, and low AI-source. The olivine phenocrysts exhibit a range of morphologies and compositions which reflect fractionation and magma-mixing at varying depths prior to eruption, and the introduction of water into the magmas at shallow levels is evident from pervasive iddingsitization. The lavas have similar major element chemistry to MORB but show higher concentrations of incompatible elements inherited from a HIMU-type lithospheric component. and enrichments in LREE relative to HREE which reflect the presence of residual garnet in the source. The picrites and ankaramites have lower AI2O3 and higher K2O, P2O5, TiO2 and Fe2O3(tot) contents than any reported lavas with equivalent MgO content from other flood basalt provinces. These least evolved lavas were derived from oxidised (QFM+1), deep-seated magmas generated by different degrees of partial melting of the primary melt, whereas the olivine basalt magmas evolved by crystal fractionation at a shallow level from a melt similar in composition to the ankaramites. The MgO content of the primary melt calculated from the most Mg-rich olivines (Fo90) is between 17 and 18 %, and it is likely that this ponded at the base of the crust where it evolved at pressures near to 1.2 GPa. Primary melt fractions of 3 - 6 % were generated in the plume at pressures of 4 - 5 GPa and temperatures in excess of 1600 °C, implying that melting occurred beneath thick (120- 150 km) lithosphere prior to extension. Sub-chondritic initial 187Os/188Os ratios (0.125 - 0.126) indicate derivation from a depleted mantle source, and high 3He/4He (18.6 Ra) and solar-like Ne isotopic ratios imply an origin in undegassed mantle.

description: In this article, we describe strel2, a Stata command for the estimation of excess hazard and relative survival in large population-based datasets. strel2 implements the maximum-likelihood estimation approach developed by Estève et al. (1990, Statistics in Medicine 9: 529–538) and assumes that the excess hazard is a piecewise constant function. Categorical covariates can be incorporated into the model, allowing the user to obtain interval- and covariate-specific estimates of the quantities of interest. Although alternative and more powerful commands for relative survival exist, strel2 is a simple tool that is particularly convenient for users who may not have strong statistical skills and want to analyze very large datasets.

description: We describe the new command margte, which computes marginal and average treatment effects for a model with a binary treatment and a continuous outcome given selection on unobservables and returns. Marginal treatment effects differ from average treatment effects in instances where the impact of treatment varies within a population in correlation with unobserved characteristics. Both parametric and semiparametric estimation methods can be used with margte, and we provide evidence from a Monte Carlo simulation for when each is preferable.

description: Die Ausgangslage bezieht sich auf meine langjährige Erfahrung als Pädagogin: Figuren sind Türöffner in der heilpädagogischen Arbeit mit Kindern im Alter zwischen 4 - 8 Jahren. Das Figurenspiel lässt sich sowohl in der sprachlichen, wie in der emotional-sozialen Förderung vielfältig einsetzen. Das wird im theoretischen Teil dieser Arbeit beschrieben und begründet. Meine Forschungshypothese lautet: Figuren werden selten in der heilpädagogischen Arbeit eingesetzt. Daraus entwickeln sich Fragen. Werden Figuren im heilpädagogischen Kontext überhaupt genutzt? Wann und wo macht es Sinn Figuren anzuwenden? Mit den Auswertungen der quantitativen Umfrage und einem Experteninterview ergeben sich neue Erkenntnisse, über den Stellenwert des Figurenspiels bei Schulischen Heilpädagoginnen. Es wird aufgezeigt, mit welchen Methoden und Hilfsmitteln vermehrt Figuren in den heilpädagogischen Alltag einbezogen werden können.

Alternative theories of growth and the Italian case
Creators: name: VACIAGO, G.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, growth rate differentials, labour supply, economies of scale, Italian experience, elasticity, convergence
subject: J22, J20, O11, O40

description: In this brief survey, the three most recent contributions to the discussion of growth rate differentials are considered. All three, using different arguments, arrive at the conclusion that such a disparity should be considered as exceptional. Some argue, on the one hand, that the highest growth rates have been reached thanks to a very elastic labour supply. On the other hand, it has been maintained that the highest growth rates attained in the postwar period can be explained as being due to exceptional opportunities for the reallocation of resources and economies of scale. Using the recent Italian experience, the author argues that these assumptions of convergence are somewhat dubious. Rather, in the long run, fast growing countries will likely reach a stage at which the sectors with a low productivity level will begin to increase again. It is for this reason, more than for the effects of the elasticity of the labour supply, that the convergence of the growth rate assumption would appear to be confirmed. JEL: J22, J20, O11, O40

description: Phytochemical research of the acetate and methanol extracts of the aerial parts (flowers, leaves and stems) of Salvia elegans allowed to obtain seventeen known compounds (1–17): three of them (4, 5, 14), had already been described for this species, while the others (1–3, 6–13, 15–17) are described for the first time for S. elegans. All isolated compounds were characterized using spectroscopic techniques and mass spectrometry and were evaluated in the Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition model, where the phenolic compounds (13, 14 and 15) had the same inhibitory effect as lisinopril at 0.02 mg/mL. The terpenes showed a moderate inhibitory capacity at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL.

description: The paper deals with inflation in several countries at the same time, starting from the analysis contained in a previous essay on “world inflation”. The author revises his opinion on the relative weight of special causes vis-á-vis general trends. The main conclusion is that there is a “world inflation” not reducible to the behaviour of any one country. Moreover, there is sufficient uniformity among countries to be able to describe such phenomenon with a particular model, based on Wicksell’s “Interest and Prices”. JEL: E31, E43, E37, E47

description: We have studied the temperature effect on collective excitations in biased bilayer graphene within random-phase approximation. From the zeros of temperature dynamical dielectric function of the system we have found one weakly damped plasmon mode. For a given electrostatic potential bias, at low (high) temperature T the plasmon frequency changes slightly (increases remarkably) with T. We have also studied the effects of potential bias and carrier density on the plasmon frequency of the system at finite temperatures.

description: Quantum platforms based on trapped ions are main candidates to build a quantum hardware with computational capacities that largely surpass those of classical devices. Among the available control techniques in these setups, pulsed dynamical decoupling (pulsed DD) revealed as a useful method to process the information encoded in ion registers, whilst minimising the environmental noise over them. In this work, we incorporate a pulsed DD technique that uses random pulse phases, or correlated pulse phases, to significantly enhance the robustness of entangling spin-spin dynamics in trapped ions. This procedure was originally conceived in the context of nuclear magnetic resonance for nuclear spin detection purposes, and here we demonstrate that the same principles apply for robust quantum information processing in trapped-ion settings.

description: SN 1993J is one of the best studied Type IIb supernovae. Spectropolarimetric data analyses were published over two decades ago at a time when the field of supernova spectropolarimetry was in its infancy. Here we present a new analysis of the spectropolarimetric data of SN 1993J and an improved estimate of its interstellar polarization (ISP) as well as a critical review of ISP removal techniques employed in the field. The polarization of SN 1993J is found to show significant alignment on the $q-u$ plane, suggesting the presence of a dominant axis and therefore of continuum polarization. We also see strong line polarization features, including $\mathrm{Hβ}$, He\,{\sc i} $λ5876$, $\mathrm{Hα}$, He\,{\sc i} $λ6678$, He\,{\sc i} $λ7065$, and high velocity (HV) components of He\,{\sc i} $λ5876$ and $\mathrm{Hα}$. SN 1993J is therefore the second example of a stripped envelope supernova, alongside iPTF13bvn, with prominent HV helium polarization features, and the first to show a likely HV \halpha contribution. Overall, we determine that the observed features can be interpreted as the superposition of anisotropically distributed line forming regions over ellipsoidal ejecta. We cannot exclude the possibility of an off-axis energy source within the ejecta. These data demonstrate the rich structures that are inaccessible if solely considering the flux spectra but can be probed by spectropolarimetric observations. In future studies, the new ISP corrected data can be used in conjunction with 3D radiative transfer models to better map the geometry of the ejecta of SN 1993J.

description: Monetarism and Fiscalism have emerged as two alternative stabilisation strategies that are in contention at this time. Monetarism seeks to control the monetary aggregates in order to stabilise the growth in money income, while Fiscalism centres its policies on controlling the degree of stimulus or restraint in the budget. The present work examines the substantive differences between Monetarists and Fiscalists concerning the theory or money, the theory of interest rates and prices, the theory of fiscal policy, and their respective views on rules, guidelines, discretion etc. This analysis of their aggregative theories is then used to identify some essential analytical and policy differences between Monetarists and Fiscalists, form any other differences that reflect transitory factors and may therefore diminish in time.

Eine mögliche Fördermassnahme sind Sozialtrainings, bei welchen die sozial-emotionalen Kompetenzen im geschützten Rahmen einer kleinen Gruppe geübt werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, inwiefern sich Sozialtrainings in der Unterrichtspraxis an Heilpädagogischen Schulen bewähren. Mittels Leitfadeninterviews werden vier Heilpädagoginnen zu ihren Erfahrungen in der Durchführung von Sozialtrainings befragt. Die darausgewonnenen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Sozialtrainings, die aus frei zusammensetzbaren Bausteinenbestehen und sich auf unterschiedliche Entwicklungsniveaus und Bedürfnisse anpassen lassen, gut geeignet sind. Grosse Lernfortschritte lassen sich besonders bei Schülerinnen und Schülern mit hohem Funktionsniveau beobachten.

Another autopsy on Britain’s balance of payments: 1958-1967
Creators: name: THIRLWALL, A.P.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Britain, balance of payments, devaluation, payments disequilibrium
subject: F32, E41

description: The article deals with Britain’s balance of payments on international account from 1958 to 1967. In particular, the author looks at whether or not devaluation was appropriate in 1964, and whether or not the Labour Government was wise in rejecting devaluation as a solution to the payments deficit, while resorting to it in 1967. A thorough analysis of the origins of payments disequilibrium in these two years is provided, as well as a comparison of these years with previous years. It is suggested that the “underlying” balance of payments on trade and current account remained virtually unchanged over the period 1960-1967, that the slightly greater deficit on current account in 1964 than in 1960 can largely be accounted for by the rate at which demand expanded in 1964, and that in general Britain’s payments troubles have had little to do with growing price uncompetitiveness in world markets.

"It's a long hard road to the top" : the career paths and leadership experiences of women in Canadian sport administration
Creators: name: Martel, Josée
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The under-representation of women in the higher echelons of sporting organizations has been examined since the 1970's. It is well documented, with the Olympic Movement being the target of much of this criticism (Bischoff and Rintala, 1994, 1996, 1997; Cameron 1996, Hovden, 2000a, 2000b; ISLP and IOC , 2004; McKay , 1997; Pfister et. al, 2005). Research shows a paucity of female leaders at all levels of sporting organizations. This study explored the career paths and leadership experiences of women who have accessed high level leadership positions in Canadian high performance sporting organizations. Semi-structured, open ended interviews were conducted with ten of these women to elicit their personal narratives, and information concerning their career experiences in sport administration was obtained. These stories provide important insights into our current understandings of female experiences in sport administration and the factors that continue to contribute to the under-representation of women in high level sporting leadership. The research questions guiding the study were: (1) Who are the women that have reached high level leadership positions in Canadian sporting organizations? (2) How have they achieved these positions? (3) What have been the circumstances and extent of their leadership involvement? (4) What factors still hinder women's full involvement and progression in sport administration? Accordingly, I will address four specific areas of investigation. First, quantitative data will be presented to demonstrate the lower levels of women participating at the Olympic Games. Second, the study will trace the career paths of women who have accessed high level sport management positions and highlights women's entry and progression in sport administration. Third , the women's level of leadership involvement will be assessed including the personal skills that led to their success and their accomplishments in these executive roles. Fourth, barriers hindering women's opportunities to advance into high level leadership positions will be examined. The implications of these findings will then be discussed and recommendations will be made for policy makers and current sporting leaders who can influence change within their sporting organizations. It is hoped that this study can contribute to a better understanding of female under-representation in high level sporting leadership.

A grande contribuição do artigo está relacionada ao fato de trazer um caso, a Irlanda, para demonstrar que em momentos de crises, os gestores da área de RH podem e devem ser vistos como key-players dentro das empresas, atuando de forma estratégica. Torna-se necessário que os gestores de RH, para se comunicar de forma eficaz, construam boas relações e estejam atentos a difícil tarefa de equilibrar os anseios individuais e organizacionais. Tratar o caso específico da Irlanda traz limitações do ponto de vista das generalizações, mas funciona como uma ilustração de alternativas gerenciais às empresas impactadas por “turbulências” econômicas, seja para validação das ideias propostas ou para a construção de novas.

description: The measured nitrogen-to-carbon ratio in comets is lower than for the Sun, a discrepancy which could be alleviated if there is an unknown reservoir of nitrogen in comets. The nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko exhibits an unidentified broad spectral reflectance feature around 3.2 micrometers, which is ubiquitous across its surface. On the basis of laboratory experiments, we attribute this absorption band to ammonium salts mixed with dust on the surface. The depth of the band indicates that semivolatile ammonium salts are a substantial reservoir of nitrogen in the comet, potentially dominating over refractory organic matter and more volatile species. Similar absorption features appear in the spectra of some asteroids, implying a compositional link between asteroids, comets, and the parent interstellar cloud.

description: Planck's residuals of the CMB temperature power spectrum present a curious oscillatory shape that resembles an extra smoothing effect of lensing and is the source of the lensing anomaly. The smoothing effect of lensing to the CMB temperature power spectrum is, to some extent, degenerate with oscillatory modulations of the primordial power spectrum, in particular if the frequency is close to that of the acoustic peaks. We consider the possibility that the lensing anomaly reported by the latest Planck 2018 results may be hinting at an oscillatory modulation generated by a massive scalar field during an alternative scenario to inflation or by a sharp feature during inflation. We use the full TTTEEE+low E CMB likelihood from Planck to derive constraints on these two types of models. We obtain that in both cases the $A_L$ anomaly is mildly reduced to slightly less than $2σ$, to be compared with the $2.8σ$ deviation from $A_L=1$ in $Λ$CDM. Although the oscillatory features are not able to satisfactorily ease the lensing anomaly, we find that the oscillatory modulation generated during an alternative scenario alone, i.e. with $A_L=1$, presents the lowest value of $χ^2$, with $Δχ^2=-13$ compared to $Λ$CDM. Furthermore, the Akaike Information Criterion suggests that such an oscillation constitutes an attractive candidate since it has a value $Δ{\rm AIC}=-5$ with respect to $Λ$CDM, comparable to the $A_L$ parameter. We also obtain that the equation of state parameter in the alternative scenario is given at $1σ$ by $w=0.13\pm0.17$. Interestingly, the matter bounce and radiation bounce scenarios are compatible with our results. We discuss how these models of oscillatory features can be tested with future observations.

description: This paper aims to analyse and review the impact of the global financial crisis on human resource management in multinational corporations in Ireland. A review of the literature was done, taking as reference the study of Gunningle, Lavelle and Monaghan (2013). In addition, newspapers, magazines, books and scientific journals were used as secondary data. The great contribution of the article is related to the fact that how HR managers can be seen as key players within companies, acting in a strategic way over the crisis period in Ireland. It is necessary for HR managers to communicate effectively, build good relationships and pay attention to the difficult task of balancing individual and organizational desires. Addressing the specific case of Ireland, there are limitations from a general point of view, but it works as an illustration of managerial alternatives to companies impacted by economic "turbulence", whether for validation of proposed ideas or for the construction of new ones.

description: The prevention of asymmetric information plays a major role in successful small business lending. The purpose of this research is to determine if small business applicants report their income information correctly when requesting a loan. Therefore, a randomized controlled trial bogus pipeline experiment was set up during a typical cash-flow analysis of a bank for small businesses in the Philippines. Results indicate that loan applicants of the treatment group reported a lower income, an effect which is most pronounced in the lowest income percentile. Moreover, our analyses reveal higher loan delinquencies in the control group.

description: Unterstützte Kommunikation (UK) gehört in Heilpädagogischen Schulen zum festen Bestandteil der Förderung. In Regelschulen findet man sie hingegen kaum. Es stellte sich deshalb die Frage, ob auch die Regelschule von der UK profitiert. Für welche Kinder macht der Einsatz von UK besonders Sinn? In welchem Umfang kann sie dort Anwendung finden und unter welchen Bedingungen kann dies geschehen? Anhand von Leitfadeninterviews mit UK-Fachpersonen, der Auswertung verschiedener UK-Konzepte und Qualitätsmerkmalen wurde diesen Fragen nachgegangen. Dadurch wurde klar, dass die Regelschule von UK durchaus von Nutzen hat. Auch Kinder mit Lautsprache können von Kommunikationsproblemen betroffen sein. Der Umfang von Hilfen und Angeboten zur Unterstützung der Kommunikation soll dabei an die Voraussetzungen der Schule angepasst sein. In der Arbeit werden 15 mögliche Formen genannt und kurz beschrieben.

description: The identification of the optimal selling time of stored goods is among the most essential eco- nomic decisions on a farm. Beyond monetary aspects, behavioral factors may influence farm- ers’ selling behavior. In financial economics, the disposition effect is a commonly observed phenomenon. It indicates that investors hold losing stocks too long, while they sell stocks that have increased in value too early. In the context of agriculture, this behavioral bias has not been analyzed thoroughly yet. To close this research gap, we conducted an incentivized online experiment with 112 farmers in Germany. The experimental design was based on well-proven experiments from financial economics and adapted to an agricultural decision context where stored goods must be sold. Farmers were provided information on the uncertain price devel- opments. In addition, lotteries were conducted to elicit farmers’ risk attitude, probability weighting, and loss aversion. Results indicate that there is a robust disposition effect in farm- ers’ selling behavior. Furthermore, more loss-averse farmers exhibited a higher disposition effect.

description: In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of a thin black ring in AdS space-time is explored when the size of the ring is comparable to quantum scales. The angular momentum to mass ratio of this system has an upper limit, which is the cosmological radius of the black ring. It is found that the small black ring will be thermodynamically stable due to the effects introduced by thermal fluctuations. However, we find that the black ring is less stable than thermal AdS. Thermodynamic analysis indicates that there is no critical point, but there is Hawking-Page transition to radiation, which is confirmed by the Gibbs free energy analysis.

Health-related physical fitness and its relationship to objectively measured physical activity in children
Creators: name: McGuire, Karen Ashlee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: During childhood, physical activity (PA) builds the foundation for a healthy body and is an important determinant of chronic disease risk. Recent reports indicate that children in Canada do not participate in sufficient amounts of PA for optimal health and well-being. Furthermore, certain ethnic groups may be at higher risk of developing chronic disease due to extremely low levels of PA and physical fitness. Literature delineating the relationship between PA and health-related physical fitness in children is inconsistent and has been inhibited by PA measurement tools. Objective measures of PA may overcome many of the limitations associated with other PA measurement tools. The purpose of this investigation was to objectively measure habitual PA, examine differences in PA and health-related physical fitness between Asian and Caucasian children, and determine the relationship between PA and health-related physical fitness. One-hundred seventy boys (n = 79) and girls (n = 91) in grades 4 and 5 from five schools in the Greater Vancouver Region participated. Measures of body composition (Body Mass Index and waist circumference), vascular health (blood pressure), resting heart rate, musculoskeletal fitness (grip strength, sit-and-reach, curl-ups and push-ups) cardiorespiratory fitness (Leger shuttle run) and habitual PA (via accelerometry) were obtained over a 1-week period. Results indicated that boys participated in 134 minutes and girls accumulate 114 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day. Only 30 minutes and 15 minutes per day were accumulated in bouts exceeding 5 minutes in duration in boys and girls respectively. During the school day the percentage of time spent in MVPA for recess, lunch hour and Physical Education class was 28%, 35% and 13% in boys and 18%, 27% and 16% in girls. Caucasian girls accumulated more MVPA per day, had significantly higher counts per minute and had higher aerobic fitness than Asian girls (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in musculoskeletal fitness. Caucasian boys had significantly higher counts per minute, higher aerobic fitness, and significantly higher musculoskeletal fitness scores (p<0.05) than Asian boys. Physical activity did not significantly predict cardiorespiratory or musculoskeletal fitness in either boys or girls. This investigation demonstrated that physical activity during the school day was low. Caucasian boys and girls obtained higher PA and fitness levels than Asian boys and girls. These findings suggest that all children may be at higher risk for health complications associated with low levels of PA, especially those of Asian ethnicity.
