description: World reserves have almost tripled since 1968, with world monetary growth accelerating since 1971 and world inflation jumping to double digits in 1974. In light of these developments, the article looks at whether the stock of world reserves has grown so rapidly that it may generate further world inflation, or whether it is deficient and potentially deflationary. The author first reviews the expansion of global reserves in the 1968-73 period of fixed exchange rates and the recent acceleration of inflation. A comparison of the transitional and permanent effects of floating rates on the demand for international reserves, excess reserves, monetary growth and world inflation is then presented and the impact of gold prices on the monetary bases, growth and inflation is taken up. Finally, OPEC’s accumulation of foreign assets and its impact on the monetary bases of individual countries is considered, as well as other influences on world liquidity. JEL: E31, E42, F31

description: We investigate a quadruple quantum dot setup that can be employed to sense the temperature of an electrically isolated remote target reservoir. Such a setup was conceived earlier by Sánchez et. al. (New Journal of Physics, 19, 113040) as non-local thermodynamic engine and relies on the electrostatic interaction between Coulomb-coupled quantum dots. The conjugation of Coulomb-coupling and energy-filtering results in an overall change in conductance with remote reservoir temperature. The performance of the thermometer is then theoretically investigated using density matrix formulation, and it is demonstrated that the quadruple quantum dot design ensures a superior temperature sensitivity and noise robustness compared to a simple thermometer consisting of two Coulomb-coupled quantum dots. In the end, we investigate the regime of operation and comment on the ground state configuration for optimal performance of the thermometer. The setup investigated in this paper can be employed to construct highly efficient non-local cryogenic thermometers.

description: Η βιομηχανία του αθλητισμού έχει πολύ μεγάλο αντίκτυπο στο φυσικό περιβάλλον. Στο επίκεντρο αυτής της βιομηχανίας βρίσκονται οι αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις, οι οποίες αφήνουν έντονο περιβαλλοντικό αποτύπωμα. Ταυτόχρονα αποτελούν σημείο αναφοράς στις πόλεις, έχουν ιδιαίτερο συμβολισμό και επηρεάζουν την κοινωνική και οικονομική ζωή. Με το πρόβλημα της κλιματικής αλλαγής να εντείνεται, η εφαρμογή πρακτικών βιώσιμης ανάπτυξης στις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις αποτελεί πλέον παγκόσμια τάση. Βασικός άξονας της βιώσιμης ανάπτυξης είναι η αξιοποίησης της «πράσινης» ενέργειας στις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις, η οποία αποφέρει σημαντικά περιβαλλοντικά, οικονομικά και κοινωνικά οφέλη. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να αναδείξει τα πλεονεκτήματα που προκύπτουν από τη χρήση της «πράσινης» ενέργειας στις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις όπως και να διερευνήσει αν όλοι οι εμπλεκόμενοι φορείς έχουν αντιληφθεί τη σημασία της. Η μέθοδος που χρησιμοποιήθηκε ήταν η ποιοτική έρευνα και ως εργαλείο συλλογής δεδομένων χρησιμοποιήθηκε η συνέντευξη. Το δείγμα αποτέλεσαν έξι (6) στελέχη από όλους τους εμπλεκόμενους φορείς δηλαδή, από τον τομέα των ενεργειακών κατασκευών, την Γ.Γ.Α. και την τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση. Τα αποτελέσματα κατέδειξαν οφέλη σε οικονομικό, περιβαλλοντικό και κοινωνικό επίπεδο, με τους εμπλεκόμενους φορείς να εστιάζουν περισσότερο στα οικονομικά οφέλη. Ταυτόχρονα έγινε φανερό πως θα πρέπει να καταρτισθούν ολοκληρωμένες στρατηγικές επικοινώνησης και εκπαίδευσης των πολιτών για την «πράσινη» ενέργειας στις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις ώστε να καταστούν περιβαλλοντικά υπεύθυνοι.

description: Das Roter-Faden-Konzept unterstützt Kinder bei der Entwicklung von bildungssprachlichen Fertigkeiten. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, ob sich die Umsetzung des Konzepts im früherzieherischen Alltag als praktikabel erweist. Sieben Früherzieherinnen testeten in der Praxis die Durchführung des Konzepts und wurden anschliessend mittels eines Fragebogens über ihre Erfahrungen befragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine durchzogene Bilanz. In der Früherziehung wird hoch individualisiert gearbeitet. Daher ist die Umsetzung eines didaktischen Konzepts nicht ohne Tücken. Die Förderung der Bildungssprache wird im Hinblick auf die vielfältigen Förderthemen der Kinder in der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung als ein untergeordnetes Ziel wahrgenommen. Grundsätzlich sind die Früherzieherinnen aber offen gegenüber didaktischen Konzepten. Sie werden als Entlastung empfunden, dies im Sinne einer Planungshilfe.

Monetary policy in France: price incentives and quantitative controls

Subjects: subject: Monetary policy, France, credit controls
subject: E52, E51

description: The work looks at with the gradual revision of the methods of credit control in France during the late 1960s and 1970s. The implications of the change in the philosophy of credit control and the ensuing modification to the instruments of monetary policy are assessed by examining the monetary developments in recent years. The thesis proposed is that it is inefficient to rely exclusively on market-oriented controls in an open economy with an oligopolistic banking sector. Consequently, if the authorities want their policy measures to have rapid and perceptible impacts on banking activity then they are well-advised to use credit expansion limits, which run counter to the new philosophy.

description: Due to its unique scalability potential, continuous variable quantum optics is a promising platform for large scale quantum computing. In particular, very large cluster states with a two-dimensional topology that are suitable for universal quantum computing and quantum simulation can be readily generated in a deterministic manner, and routes towards fault-tolerance via bosonic quantum error-correction are known. In this article we propose a complete measurement-based quantum computing architecture for the implementation of a universal set of gates on the recently generated two-dimensional cluster states [1,2]. We analyze the performance of the various quantum gates that are executed in these cluster states as well as in other two-dimensional cluster states (the bilayer-square lattice and quad-rail lattice cluster states [3,4]) by estimating and minimizing the associated stochastic noise addition as well as the resulting gate error probability. We compare the four different states and find that, although they all allow for universal computation, the quad-rail lattice cluster state performs better than the other three states which all exhibit similar performance.
Development of a lymphatic stress test

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: There is a need for a test that will provide information on the lymphatic system of the upper extremity in women with breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) and this forms the basis of this research project. In order to determine an appropriate upper body exercise protocol that could be combined with lymphoscintigraphy to describe lymphatic function in women treated for breast cancer, a series of studies were completed in healthy, college-aged females. Collectively, these studies demonstrated the following: 1) arm cranking was superior to intermittent hand grip exercise in enhancing depot clearance rate (CR), 2) moderate intensity arm cranking exercise was superior to low intensity arm cranking exercise in enhancing CR and uptake of radiopharmaceuticals at the axillary lymph nodes (AX), 3) CR and AX were symmetrical between arms, 4) a lower coefficient of variation was demonstrated with moderate intensity exercise compared to low intensity exercise, and 5) high intra-subject reliability in arm cranking CR. Thus, an intermittent, moderate intensity arm cranking protocol was selected to evaluate lymphatic function in women treated for breast cancer with BCRL (BCRL), breast cancer survivors (no BCRL), and age-matched controls. Main findings of the final project were: 1) contralateral arm lymphatic function was similar between groups at rest or during exercise; 2) AX and uptake of radiopharmaceuticals in the forearm (FORE) in the ipsilateral arm relative to the contralateral arm was compromised in BCRL only; and 3) the addition of exercise increased ipsilateral CR and AX in breast cancer survivors and increased ipsilateral CR and FORE in BCRL subjects (an increase in FORE is not expected with exercise). These results indicate that despite the small sample size, lymphatic function (with the exception of CR) is impaired in BCRL at rest and during exercise compared to breast cancer survivors and controls but not different between breast cancer survivors and controls. Clinical applications of this study are that while breast cancer survivors have similar lymphatic function as controls, there is a highly variable response suggesting that some breast cancer survivors may be at risk for developing BCRL.

description: Kreative Prozesse sind für den Unterricht mit Jugendlichen in einer psychischen Ausnahmesituation zentral. Kernstücke bilden eine offene Wahrnehmung, das Bewusstsein für eigene und fremde Positionen sowie die Fähigkeit, Fragen zu haben und diesen selbstbestimmt nachzugehen. Konkretes Handeln und vernetztes Verstehen führen zu einem erweiterten Blick auf sich selbst, auf andere und die Welt. Die vorliegende Arbeit begründet, beleuchtet und beantwortet die Frage nach Impulsen für kreative Prozesse dieser Art. Der stationäre Aufenthalt von Jugendlichen in der Psychiatrie und der Auftrag der Klinikschule werden mittels ausgewählter Literatur und gemäss der Spitalschulverordnung des Kantons Zürich beschrieben. Besonderheiten werden am Beispiel der Klinikschule der Integrierten Psychiatrie Winterthur – Zürcher Unterland (ipw) aufgezeigt. Art und Stellenwert der kreativen Prozesse, wie sie in der Klinikschule aktuell stattfinden, werden dargestellt. Weiter werden die Begriffe der Kreativität und der kreativen Prozesse mit der Ästhetischen Forschung nach Helga Kämpf-Jansen (2001) untersucht und erfasst. Gespräche mit Expert*innen und die theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit Literatur werden wiedergegeben. Schliesslich werden relevante Erkenntnisse aus beiden Bereichen zusammengeführt und interpretiert.Ein zentraler Aspekt dieser Forschungsarbeit bildet die Verbindung von Bild- und Textmaterial. Die visuelle Gestaltung der vorliegenden Arbeit hat zum Ziel, Denkräume zu eröffnen und eine ansprechende und anregende Lektüre für Interessierte zu ermöglichen. Bild und Text sind einander ebenbürtig zu lesen.

description: The advent of proteolysis-targeting chimaeras (PROTACs) mandates that new ligands for the recruitment of E3 ligases are discovered. The traditional immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide and its analogues (all based on the phthalimide glutarimide core) bind to Cereblon, the substrate receptor of the CRL4ACRBN E3 ligase. We designed a thalidomide analogue in which the phthalimide moiety was replaced with benzotriazole, using an innovative synthesis strategy. Compared to thalidomide, the resulting “benzotriazolo thalidomide” has a similar binding mode, but improved properties, as revealed in crystallographic analyses, affinity assays and cell culture.
Peculiarities of Japan’s multinationalism: facts and theories

Subjects: subject: Multinationals, Japan, theory
subject: F23

description: A variety of theories have been advanced to explain the present trend of business firms toward multinational operations, first noticed in the United States but now spreading to other industrial countries. The theoretical works thus far have revolved around the behaviour of Western multinationals, with their Japanese counterparts being either treated as a special case or as mere newcomers who will inevitably follow the same path. The differences found in the industrial pattern of Japanese multinationals, however, call for further and more systemic analysis. The present work describes and interprets the uniqueness of Japan’s emerging multinationalism and considers the applicability of existing theories. The author first describes the patterns and competitiveness of Japanese multinationals, before evaluating the relevance of existing Western theories as applied to the Japanese case. JEL: F23

description: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO Man) and the Biosphere Programme was established in 1971 to “establish a scientific basis for enhancing the relationship between people and their environments.” Currently, there are 759 biosphere reserves across 136 countries worldwide in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR). These biospheres carry out three key functions: conservation, sustainable development, and logistic support. They connect people and nature, sustaining the beauty and benefits of healthy lands and waters. Within the United States, the Biosphere Network (USBN) includes 28 biospheres, providing invaluable landscape conservation and sustainable development at local and regional levels. Biospheres must undergo a periodic review every ten years, submitting reports to the UNESCO International Coordinating Council of the WNBR for verification of their activity and function. With many U.S. biospheres due for review in 2026 and 2027, the University of Michigan SEAS capstone team was tasked with providing technical assistance to strengthen capacity and prevent the network from losing any biosphere regions. The capstone team’s work was divided into four deliverables: an ArcGIS StoryMap, a qualitative community needs assessment, a gender inclusivity research paper, and a climate resiliency report. The comprehensive StoryMap and shapefile geodatabase capture biosphere success stories across the nation and aid in submission of region boundaries to UNESCO. Qualitative assessments of the network and its 28 reserves aid in preservation, expansion, and inform a strategic roadmap for future development. A research paper on gender inclusivity in the U.S. Biosphere Network examines gaps and begins dialogue for future programming, aligning with UNESCO’s priority of gender equality. The climate resiliency report aligns research, action, and education efforts to promote collaboration and highlight the program's value for climate action. These deliverables form a toolkit to help the U.S. Biosphere Regions navigate periodic reviews, conservation and sustainable economic development.

description: Die Hausaufgabenpraxis ist ein viel und kontrovers diskutiertes Thema, welches die Pädagogik anhaltend beschäftigt. Unbestritten ist dabei, dass es bei der Hausaufgabenerledigung im familiären Kontext häufig zu Streit zwischen den Kindern und den Eltern kommt. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit zeigt auf, welche Auslöser im familiären Kontext zu Streit aufgrund von Hausaufgaben führen. Hierfür wurden Hausaufgabensituationen videographisch aufgezeichnet und mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet.
 Als mögliche Streitauslöser kristallisierten sich vielfältige Aspekte heraus, welche den Hauptkategorien keine Hilfe der Eltern, fehlende Kompetenzen des Kindes, Einmischung der Eltern, Misstrauen, Ablehnung gegenüber den Hausaufgaben und Bearbeitungszeitpunkt als Streitursache zugeordnet werden können. Basierend auf diesen Resultaten werden Empfehlungen für die Praxis abgeleitet.
Money and the balance of payments

Subjects: subject: Balance of payments, monetary theory
subject: F32, E40

description: The paper argues that the balance of payments is a monetary phenomenon, and that it can only be understood by the application of monetary theory. Although this may seem obvious, it tends to be obscured from public understanding, and the understanding even of most international economic theorists, by two facts. First, people often mistakenly refer to “the balance of payments” when intending the net balance of international transactions on a subgroup of accounts in the balance of payments. Second, precisely because the balance of payments is a monetary phenomenon, it requires analysis with the tools of monetary theory which are sophisticated and difficult even for the professional economic theorist to understand.

Subjects: subject: Canada, monetary policy, targets, indicators, open economy, Bank of Canada, transmission mechanism

description: The choice of the appropriate target and indicator in monetary policy has been the subject of considerable debate in recent years, however, analysis has tended to be theoretical in nature and confined to the case of a closed economy. The present work provides an additional perspective on this debate by examining the target-indicator issue in the context of the actual experience of an open economy. The authors illustrate the complications which arise concerning the choice of monetary targets and indicators in the case of an open economy. They then show that the Bank of Canada’s choice of monetary targets and indicators is intimately related to its view of the transmission mechanism. JEL: E52

Subjects: subject: Tax system, inflation, interest income, Fisher’s theory, taxation, Canada
subject: E31, H24

description: The work looks at the various efforts being made to make tax systems inflation-proof, from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. As to the latter, the author examines the taxation of interest income in an inflationary situation and makes some recommendations aimed at reducing, if not eliminating, inequities that arise. As to the former, the author generalises the theoretical conclusions of Fisher’s theory by explicitly introducing income taxation among the variables that affect the Fisherian conclusion. The basic policy issue raised is that the Canadian solution does very little to solve the problems related to the taxation of capital gains and interest incomes in an inflationary situation.

On cost-push theories of inflation in the pre-war monetary literature
Creators: name: HUMPHREY T.M., T.M.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Inflation, cost-push, neoclassical monetary theory
subject: E31, E40

description: Over the course of the debate on inflation, it has been commonplace to refer to cost-push explanations, which attribute inflations to a host of non monetary, supply-orientated influences that raise costs, as being of relatively recent origin, or “new”. To the contrary, the present article shows that cost-push theories, far from being new, were widespread in the 1800s and early 1900s. Such theories were thoroughly analysed, and in some cases sharply criticised, by many leading neo-classical monetary theorists. Moreover, many of the issues in current and recent debates between cost-pushers and monetarists appeared in the earlier literature dealing with inflation. JEL: E31, E40

description: The paper imposes the workings of the labor market on open-economy models of fiscal policy under fixed and under flexible exchange rates. The author then reexamines the conventional conclusion that fiscal policy is fully effective under fixed rates, but is fully offset under floating rates. For this purpose “fiscal policy” is an increase in government expenditures or a reduction in taxation covered by the issue of non-monetary debt that either domestic nationals or foreigners are eligible to buy.

description: Lernstrategien stellen im Kontext des kompetenzorientierten und selbstregulierten Lernens ein zentrales Element dar. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Zusammenhänge zwischen strategiebezogenem Instruktionsverhalten, dem Wissen über Lernstrategien und den als zentral erachteten Elementen der Unterrichtsgestaltung bestehen. Zur Beantwortung der Fragestellung werden einerseits mit vier Lehrpersonen Leitfadeninterviews geführt und andererseits Unterrichtsbeobachtungen gemacht. Die Daten werden mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Wissen von Lehrpersonen über Lernstrategien nur teilweise Auswirkungen auf das strategiebezogene Instruktionsverhalten hat. Es fällt auf, dass die als zentral erachteten Elemente der Unterrichtsgestaltung grundsätzlich fächerübergreifende Kompetenzen wie Lernstrategien voraussetzen, Lehrpersonen aber gemäss den erhobenen Daten wenig Wissen darüber zeigen. Daraus ergeben sich weiterführende Fragestellungen. Es wäre diesbezüglich interessant herauszufinden, welche Faktoren das strategiebezogene Instruktionsverhalten beeinflussen und welche Rolle dabei Schulische Heilpädagoginnen und Schulische Heilpädagogen spielen.
Lower Bounds for Non-Elitist Evolutionary Algorithms via Negative Multiplicative Drift

description: A decent number of lower bounds for non-elitist population-based evolutionary algorithms has been shown by now. Most of them are technically demanding due to the (hard to avoid) use of negative drift theorems -- general results which translate an expected progress away from the target into a high hitting time. We propose a simple negative drift theorem for multiplicative drift scenarios and show that it can simplify existing analyses. We discuss in more detail Lehre's (PPSN 2010) \emph{negative drift in populations} method, one of the most general tools to prove lower bounds on the runtime of non-elitist mutation-based evolutionary algorithms for discrete search spaces. Together with other arguments, we obtain an alternative and simpler proof, which also strengthens and simplifies this method. In particular, now only three of the five technical conditions of the previous result have to be verified. The lower bounds we obtain are explicit instead of only asymptotic. This allows to compute concrete lower bounds for concrete algorithms, but also enables us to show that super-polynomial runtimes appear already when the reproduction rate is only a $(1 - ω(n^{-1/2}))$ factor below the threshold. For the special case of algorithms using standard bit mutation with a random mutation rate (called uniform mixing in the language of hyper-heuristics), we prove the result stated by Dang and Lehre (PPSN 2016) and extend it to mutation rates other than $Θ(1/n)$, which includes the heavy-tailed mutation operator proposed by Doerr, Le, Makhmara, and Nguyen (GECCO 2017). We finally apply our method and a novel domination argument to show an exponential lower bound for the runtime of the mutation-only simple genetic algorithm on \onemax for arbitrary population size.

Germany’s persistent balance-of-payments disequilibrium revisited
Creators: name: KINDLEBERGER, C.P.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Germany, balance of payments, surplus, disequilibrium
subject: F31, F32

description: The work examines Germany’s balance-of-payments surplus. The author first briefly considers the United States balance of payments. The German balance of payments is then analysed according to structural aspects, absorption, the level of domestic investment, and policy. A digression on stock-adjustment and flow models of international capital movements is also provided. The author concludes that absorption dominates the current-account balance, and that what is needed is well-functioning capital markets to fund the savings or borrowings which spill abroad, plus international coordination of monetary policy.

Godley’s law, Godley’s rule and the “new Cambridge macroeconomics”
Creators: name: ROWAN, D.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: British macroeconomic policy, New Cambridge Macroeconomics, Godley
subject: E60, E65

description: The present paper examines a contemporary critique of British macroeconomic policy, namely that put forward by the Cambridge Economic Policy Group (CEPG) which has come to be called the “New Cambridge Macroeconomics”. Although this approach no doubt exists, thus far no formal exposition of its complete model has been published. In identifying the CEPG view it is therefore necessary to go to a number of different publications and then, in some measure, to draw inferences. Although there is risk for misinterpretation, until the GEPS’s formal model is published an attempted synthesis may be of value. According to the author’s interpretations, “New Macroeconomics” implies a considerable number of assumptions not all of which are obviously acceptable. JEL: E60, E65

description: Zahlreiche Forschungen belegen, dass SuS mit schulischen Schwierigkeiten ein niedrigeres schulisches Selbstkonzept (SSK) aufweisen als ihre Mitschüler*innen. Gleichzeitig ist nachgewiesen, dass separativ beschulte SuS ein vergleichsweise höheres SSK aufweisen als jene in der integrativen Regelschule. Doch wie sieht es bei der Fördermassnahme «separative Kleingruppe» aus, welche im weiteren Sinne eine Mischform darstellt? Die SuS mit Förderbedarf sind zwar in der Regelklasse, werden aber für einzelne Lektionen separativ beschult. Anhand von Fragebogen und Interviews wird das SSK von sieben Fokuskindern erfasst und mit der Fördermassnahme «separative Kleingruppe» in Verbindung gestellt. Die Forschungsarbeit untersucht zunächst das SSK der Bezugsgruppe und zeigt auf, wie sich die Kleingruppe auf das SSK auswirkt und wie ein SK-förderlicher Unterricht gestaltet werden
 kann.

description: We present stellar metallicity measurements of more than 600 late-type stars in the central 10 pc of the Galactic centre. Together with our previously published KMOS data, this data set allows us to investigate, for the first time, spatial variations of the nuclear star cluster's metallicity distribution. Using the integral-field spectrograph KMOS (VLT) we observed almost half of the area enclosed by the nuclear star cluster's effective radius. We extract spectra at medium spectral resolution, and apply full spectral fitting utilising the PHOENIX library of synthetic stellar spectra. The stellar metallicities range from [M/H]=-1.25 dex to [M/H]> +0.3 dex, with most of the stars having super-solar metallicity. We are able to measure an anisotropy of the stellar metallicity distribution. In the Galactic North, the portion of sub-solar metallicity stars with [M/H]<0.0 dex is more than twice as high as in the Galactic South. One possible explanation for different fractions of sub-solar metallicity stars in different parts of the cluster is a recent merger event. We propose to test this hypothesis with high-resolution spectroscopy, and by combining the metallicity information with kinematic data.

World market instability in primary commodities
Creators: name: STERN, R.M.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Prices, primary commodities, instability, post WWII period, policy
subject: E31, N10

description: The work considers what the future course of prices will be in the aftermath of the remarkable increases in primary commodity prices in 1973-74. To do so, the author examines the historical trend and cyclical movements of the prices of various commodities in the period since World War II. The causes and consequences of instability and the economic policies that nations have designed to deal with instability and other aspects of primary commodities are then considered. In this regard, conflicts in commodity policies between commodity exporting and importing nations are analysed. JEL: E31, N10

The interest rate snap-back and its implication for the Keynesian-quantity theory dispute
Creators: name: MAYER, T.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Interest rates, Keynesian theory, quantity theory, snap back
subject: E43, E12, E13

description: Much recent work on the behaviour of interest rates has argued that both long term and short term interest rates decline only very temporarily when the growth rate of money increases. Nominal rates quickly snap back to their previous level. The present work looks at what these findings imply for the Keynesian-quantity theory dispute. The author shows that if the expected real interest rate actually does snap back rapidly, then this provides substantial support for the quantity theory and against Keynesian theory. Therefore, the interest rate snap-back becomes an important issue in the Keynesian-quantity theory debate. JEL: E43, E12, E13

description: Die Fähigkeit zu selbstreguliertem Lernen gilt als Kernkompetenz für ein autonomes und mündiges Leben. Diese Masterarbeit ist Teil des Forschungsprojekts MOSEL, bei dem empirisch untersucht wird, inwieweit Motivation und Selbstregulation bei Schüler*innen mit Lernschwierigkeiten gefördert werden können. In einer Fallstudie werden vier Lernende der Mittelstufe während 18 Lektionen mit Mitteln der Aktionsforschung unterrichtet und beobachtet. Ziel ist es, dass sie beim Lösen offener Aufgaben im Fach Mathematik Lernstrategien und selbstregulative Kompetenzen erwerben. Positive Veränderungen zeigen sich bei der emotionalen Einstellung und der Selbstwirksamkeit: Alle Lernenden trauen sich nach der Intervention mehr zu und schätzen sich kompetenter ein. Geringfügiger fallen die Veränderungen bei den Attributionen aus. Auch bei den Zielorientierungen zeigen sich unterschiedliche Effekte.
Monetary union and stabilization policy in the European Community
Creators: name: PARKIN, M.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: European Monetary Union, inflation, integration, stabilisation
subject: F36, F33

description: A plan for European Monetary Union was recently proposed based on the issue of a parallel European currency, the acceptance of which would be established by a market process, not by official edicts and which would be managed to achieve stable European-wide prices. This paper examines the desirability of, and problems associated with this particular approach. It represents yet a further attempt to show that the anti-union arguments are either wrong or they are positive, not normative propositions which lead to the prediction that union will not occur and do not lead to the prescription that it shouldn’t. The inflation records of the individual countries are first examined and the reasons for national differences in that rate are analysed. Then the implications of monetary union are analysed. Finally, the political objections to monetary union are considered. JEL: F36, F33

Embracing complexity in community-based health promotion : inclusion, power, and women's health
Creators: name: Ponic, Pamela Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Inclusion is increasingly being positioned by health promoters as a way of alleviating exclusion and related health inequities experienced by marginalized women (Shookner, 2002; Reid, 2004). Yet assumptions about inclusion are rarely investigated, especially from the perspectives of the individuals it is meant to benefit. The purpose of this research was to critically examine inclusion as a health promotion strategy from the standpoints of 14 diverse women who were involved in a 5-year community-based health promotion (CBHP) project called Women Organizing Activities for Women (WOAW). This qualitative feminist participatory action research (FPAR) project developed from my 4-year stint as research manager of WOAW, which was designed to improve poor women's health through a community development approach to recreation (Frisby, Reid & Ponic, 2007). Participants reflected on their varied experiences through interviews, writing, and collaborative analysis. Through my critical feminist lens, the findings reveal that inclusion was a multifaceted and dynamic process produced by the interplay between individual, psychosocial, relational, local/organizational, and socio-political factors. Inclusion and exclusion existed in a fluid relationship that was shaped by contradictory and internalized understandings of power across axes of difference including gender, class, race/ethnicity, age, and (dis)ability. These tensions resulted in significant conflict through issues of leadership, sub-group loyalties, fear, and resistance. Amidst the inclusion-exclusion fluidity, participants' physical and mental health was both enhanced and hindered through psychosocial pathways. Their capacity, confidence, and sense of identity improved through participation, community connections, and consciousness-raising. Although the conflicts produced stress and anxiety, participants continually made health promoting choices to alleviate the effects. These findings do not measure health outcomes or inclusion processes; rather, they illustrate how coupling FPAR with critical theorizing can inform CBHP (Kesby, 2005; Poland, 1998). Exploring CBHP projects across this length of time and at this depth is rare, but doing so importantly explicates inclusion, participation, exclusion, and marginalization as contestable concepts that must be critically examined if they are to be useful. In the end, I offer an 'Inclusion Tool' designed to cultivate critical dialogues amongst CBHP participants, practitioners, and researchers who seek to embrace and utilize the complexity inherent within inclusion processes.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht anhand von drei Einzelfallstudien die Wahrnehmungen und Empfindungen ADHS betroffener Familien im Prozess vom Anfangsverdacht bis zur angemessenen Medikation. Dabei konnte eruiert werden, dass in den Familien allseits Belastungen vorliegen, die Kinder neutrale oder positive Emotionen mit der Abklärung verbinden und alle mit der Schule personenabhängige belastende, wie auch positive Momente erlebten. Ersteres ist auf vorwiegend negative Rückmeldungen, letzteres auf empathisches, feinfühliges und Ressourcen wahrnehmendes Verhalten der Schule zurückzuführen. Zur kindlichen Aufklärung fehlen entsprechende Materialien. Aus den gewonnenen Erkennt-nissen wurde ein umsichtiger, auf Empfehlungen beruhender Umgang im schulischen Umfeld abgeleitet, aber auch unterstützende, psychoedukative Massnahmen aller Familienmitglieder und wenn nötig auch der Lehrpersonen.

Amending the Fund’s charter; reform or patchwork?
Creators: name: DE VRIES, T.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Exchange rate regime, IMF, international monetary relations, flexible exchange rates
subject: E42, F33

description: Since the change in the exchange rate regime came about as a result of breakdown and not reform, there are no rules on how to operate the new flexible exchange rate regime and no common philosophy on which to base them. For this reason, the recent agreement reached in Jamaica and now embodied in an amendment to the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund, is all the more important. The present article analyses and evaluates the package of agreements, and especially their significance for international monetary relations during the next few years. Accordingly, each of the main points of the agreements reached is described. The author argues that the Jamaica agreement provides an important starting point for further progress in the field of exchange rates. JEL: E42, F33
