description: Il cinquantenario della scomparsa di Benvenuto Griziotti, studioso profondo di scienza delle finanze nella prima metà del Novecento, ha indotto a riesaminare le sue tesi sulle questioni monetarie. Nel primo dopoguerra, per ragioni di giustizia distributiva e di ristrutturazione industriale, si schierò con economisti socialisti per riportare la lira alla parità pre-bellica, in contrapposizione a studiosi di tendenza liberale che preferivano stabilizzarla a un livello che tenesse conto dell’inflazione consolidatasi nel sistema dei prezzi e dei redditi. Per la ristrutturazione industriale egli faceva assegnamento sull’afflusso di prestiti esteri, che attratti dalle prospettive di rivalutazione avrebbero consentito finanziamenti a buon mercato per effetto dei prospettici guadagni di capitale. Anche a metà degli anni ’30 rimase fedele alla tesi rivalutazionista, sebbene la storia si fosse già incaricata di dimostrare che la sua fiducia nei benefici derivanti dalla rivalutazione della lira e dai prestiti esteri a buon mercato non era ben riposta. The fiftieth anniversary of the death of Benvenuto Griziotti, profound scholar of public finance in the first half of the twentieth century, led to re-examine his views on monetary matters. In the first postwar period, for reasons of distributive justice and industrial restructuring, sided with socialist economists to bring the lira at the pre-war, opposed to liberal scholars, who preferred to stabilize at a level that takes into account inflation in the consolidated system of prices and incomes. For industrial restructuring he was relying on the influx of foreign loans, which attracted by the potential of appreciation would allow cheap funding for effect of prospective capital gains. Even in the mid-30s remained loyal to the thesis of the revaluation, although the story was already charged to prove that his belief in the benefits arising from the revaluation of the lira and from the cheap foreign loans was not well placed.

description: The Hofstadter model, well-known for its fractal butterfly spectrum, describes two-dimensional electrons under a perpendicular magnetic field, which gives rise to the integer quantum hall effect. Inspired by the real-space building blocks of non-Abelian gauge fields from a recent experiment [Science, 365, 1021 (2019)], we introduce and theoretically study two non-Abelian generalizations of the Hofstadter model. Each model describes two pairs of Hofstadter butterflies that are spin-orbit coupled. In contrast to the original Hofstadter model that can be equivalently studied in the Landau and symmetric gauges, the corresponding non-Abelian generalizations exhibit distinct spectra due to the non-commutativity of the gauge fields. We derive the genuine (necessary and sufficient) non-Abelian condition for the two models from the commutativity of their arbitrary loop operators. At zero energy, the models are gapless and host Weyl and Dirac points protected by internal and crystalline symmetries. Double (8-fold), triple (12-fold), and quadrupole (16-fold) Dirac points also emerge, especially under equal hopping phases of the non-Abelian potentials. At other fillings, the gapped phases of the models give rise to $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulators. We conclude by discussing possible schemes for the experimental realizations of the models in photonic platforms.
title: An Investigation into Experienced Expatriate Lecturers' Perceptions of Continuing Professional Development

description: This thesis investigated how thirteen experienced, expatriate lecturers in an institute of higher education, Middle Eastern University College (MEUC), in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) perceived the continuing professional development (CPD) offered by their institute. I was motivated by the approach adopted by the institute towards the provision of CPD, an apparent lack of consultation with lecturers regarding their professional growth and comments from colleagues, to investigate personal and professional development. In particular, I wanted to determine how the institute’s approach to the provision of CPD influenced lecturers’ perceptions, beliefs and attitudes concerning institutionally provided CPD, so an interpretive study was selected. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain perceptions of, attitudes to and desire to engage with institutionally provided CPD. A further aim was to explore how participants’ tacit knowledge impacted on their perceptions and attitudes of CPD and whether this affected their attitude towards learning. The findings revealed three main themes. First, the mandatory nature, model and content of CPD affected participants’ perceptions of and engagement with CPD. Second, the CPD provided overlooked participants’ experience and tacit knowledge, impacting negatively on their views of CPD and professional identity. Finally, the specific profile of the participants, self-initiated expatriates, was revealed to be an important factor in lecturers’ CPD requirements and professional outlook, with implications for the development of existing theory in this area. Finally, a desire for targeted, personalised CPD was identified, specifically in the areas of pedagogy, professional inquiry and cultural awareness and intelligence.

description: We propose a new thermal freezeout mechanism which results in dark matter masses exceeding the unitarity bound by many orders of magnitude, without violating perturbative unitarity or modifying the standard cosmology. The process determining the relic abundance is $χζ^\dagger \to ζζ$, where $χ$ is the dark matter candidate. For $ m_ζ< m_χ< 3 m_ζ$, $χ$ is cosmologically long-lived and scatters against the exponentially more abundant $ζ$. Therefore, such a process allows for exponentially heavier dark matter for the same interaction strength as a particle undergoing ordinary $2 \to 2$ freezeout; or equivalently, exponentially weaker interactions for the same mass. We demonstrate this mechanism in a leptophilic dark matter model, which allows for dark matter masses up to $10^{9}$ GeV.

Combined constraints in speech production : evidence from linguistic data, oral poetry, and cultural dynamics
Creators: name: Mirante, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This work describes a model of speech production based on the central role exercised by a speaker's working memory. It is proposed that speakers make intensive use of their working memory when planning, composing and uttering speech, and that a speaker's working memory is guided in its composition processes by an array of co-occurring cues, or constraints, which determine the selection of chunks of utterances in memory. The constraints are: semantic activation, imagery (i.e. the activation of detailed semantic, visual and spatial information), syntax, speech rhythm, prosody and sound repetitions. Speakers are exposed to the perception of environmental information and to others' speech, and these inputs determine the co-occurring activation and the selection of mnemonic data according to the constraints outlined. Evidence for the model is drawn from linguistic material, research on the cognitive psychology of oral literatures, and studies in social psychology and cultural information transmission. The model stems from criticism that I direct to the concept of language as it is understood in modern linguistics. It will be shown that the assumptions on which current theories of language rest are at odds with recent developments in philosophy and communication studies. It will be argued that the proposed model is not only more theoretically sound, but also more adequate to describe speech as it is produced by real speakers.
title: 'Like a playground should be?' Experiencing and Producing Bi Subjectivities in Bisexual Space.
Creators: name: Bowes-Catton, Helen Talitha
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Much recent work on bisexual subjectivities has taken a discourse analytic approach to exploring how bisexual identity is discursively produced as paradoxical, and why it is so difficult to articulate a culturally intelligible bisexual subjectivity. This thesis responds to such work by suggesting that a move towards a multi-modal methodological approach, with a focus on the features of the lifeworld, might enable participants to articulate accounts of bisexual subjectivity as experienced in material, spatial, embodied, temporal, and intersubjective, terms. Accordingly, the thesis asks the question ‘how are bisexual subjectivities experienced and produced in bisexual spaces?’ Fieldwork was conducted at a BiCon, UK bisexual convention, in 2008, and the data presented here is based on the results of two studies which used creative and visual methods (photography, mapping, and modelling) to elicit discourse about lived experiences of bisexual subjectivity in a bisexual space, and how these related to everyday life. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was taken to the analysis of the data produced. The study argues that the everyday bisexual subject, as constructed in dominant cultural discourses, can be theorised as a Trickster figure, characterised by excess and inauthenticity. BiCon, meanwhile, can be theorised as a heterotopic place-event, during which bisexuality is held constant as the default sexual identity within the space. This provides BiCon attendees with an opportunity to temporality resolve the paradox of bisexual subjectivity. For some participants, BiCon serves as a carnivalesque space where they can enjoy a brief respite from the contradictions of bisexuality. For others, BiCon is a place to gather resources for personal and social transformation.
Can a protophobic vector boson explain the ATOMKI anomaly?

description: In 2016, the ATOMKI collaboration announced [PRL {\bf 116}, 042501 (2016)] observing an unexpected enhancement of the $e^+-e^-$ pair production signal in one of the $^8$Be nuclear transitions induced by an incident proton beam on a $^7$Li target. Many beyond-standard-model physics explanations have subsequently been proposed. One popular theory is that the anomaly is caused by the creation of a protophobic vector boson ($X$) with a mass around 17 MeV [e.g., PRL\ {\bf 117}, 071803 (2016)] in the nuclear transition. We study this hypothesis by deriving an isospin relation between photon and $X$ couplings to nucleons. This allows us to find simple relations between protophobic $X$-production cross sections and those for measured photon production. The net result is that $X$ production is dominated by direct transitions induced by $E1^X$ and $L1^X$ (transverse and longitudinal electric dipoles) and $C1^X$ (charge dipole) without going through any nuclear resonance (i.e. Bremsstrahlung radiation) with a smooth energy dependence that occurs for all proton beam energies above threshold. This contradicts the experimental observations and invalidates the protophobic vector boson explanation.

description: Disorder-free localization has been recently introduced as a mechanism for ergodicity breaking in low-dimensional homogeneous lattice gauge theories caused by local constraints imposed by gauge invariance. We show that also genuinely interacting systems in two spatial dimensions can become nonergodic as a consequence of this mechanism. Specifically, we prove nonergodic behavior in the quantum link model by obtaining a rigorous bound on the localization-delocalization transition through a classical correlated percolation problem implying a fragmentation of Hilbert space on the nonergodic side of the transition. We study the quantum dynamics in this system by means of an efficient and perturbatively controlled representation of the wavefunction in terms of a variational network of classical spins akin to artificial neural networks. We identify a distinguishing dynamical signature by studying the propagation of line defects, yielding different light cone structures in the localized and ergodic phases, respectively. The methods we introduce in this work can be applied to any lattice gauge theory with finite-dimensional local Hilbert spaces irrespective of spatial dimensionality.

description: As a way of understanding the potential antecedents of intentional acts of food contamination, a framework that employs tenets of Ajzen’s (1985) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was utilized to assess employees’ attitudes about committing such acts. In a sample of 123 employees from various links along a fruit and vegetable industry supply chain between Mexico and the United States, we found industry commitment and moral norm to be antecedents to attitudes toward intentional food contamination. We also found that both perceived behavioural controls (i.e. security measures) and attitude toward intentional food contamination positively related to intention to contaminate food. The value of applying the TPB model to this context is discussed.
title: A new nanoindentation protocol for identifying the elasticity of undamaged extracellular bone tissue

Subjects: subject: elasticity of undamaged extracellular bone tissue

description: For the determination of the Young's modulus of bone tissues several methods are widely in use, among them quasi-static mechanical tests, ultrasound tests, and nanoindentation tests. However, the key question of how an elastic modulus can be reliably retrieved from such tests, is surprisingly unsettled. In this Master's thesis, a new method for determination of the elastic modulus of extracellular bone matrix from very many nanoindentation results is developed, based on an earlier contribution in the field of brittle ceramics used in bone tissue engineering (Kariem et al., 2015). 576 nanoindentation tests were performed on carefully polished bovine femoral bone samples, and the results were statistically analyzed,by fitting a number of Gaussian distribution functions to the histogram made up by all indent-specific elastic moduli, each of them being retrieved from Oliver and Pharr's solution for the elastic half space. The fitting procedure was based on an evolutionary algorithm (Weicker, 2007; Jaindl et al., 2009), and revealed the existence of several material phases with distinct expected values for their corresponding elastic moduli, according to the premises of the statistical or grid nanoindentation technique (Ulm et al, 2007). The stiffest of these moduli refers to the undamaged elastic modulus of extracellular bone tissue, while all other moduli reflect influences of microcracks in the vicinity of the indent, or directly branching off from the microcracks; this was explicitly confirmed by a preliminary nanoindentation test series performed under a Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The value obtained with our new method for the undamaged extracellular femoral bovine bone matrix, amounting to 31.4±2.5 GPa, appears remarkably well to the results obtained from unloading quasi-static compression tests on single-micro-sized micropillars which were SEM-FIB-milled from the same type of bone (Luczynski et al., 2015); and to predictions of a carefully validated micromechanical model for bone (Morin and Hellmich, 2014). This is regarded as major step toward reliable determination of the elastic properties of bone

description: Scaling semantic parsing models for task-oriented dialog systems to new languages is often expensive and time-consuming due to the lack of available datasets. Available datasets suffer from several shortcomings: a) they contain few languages b) they contain small amounts of labeled examples per language c) they are based on the simple intent and slot detection paradigm for non-compositional queries. In this paper, we present a new multilingual dataset, called MTOP, comprising of 100k annotated utterances in 6 languages across 11 domains. We use this dataset and other publicly available datasets to conduct a comprehensive benchmarking study on using various state-of-the-art multilingual pre-trained models for task-oriented semantic parsing. We achieve an average improvement of +6.3 points on Slot F1 for the two existing multilingual datasets, over best results reported in their experiments. Furthermore, we demonstrate strong zero-shot performance using pre-trained models combined with automatic translation and alignment, and a proposed distant supervision method to reduce the noise in slot label projection.

description: For many years the UK had heard complaints from farmers about the practices of supermarket chains. In 2008 the Competition Commission found that they had a point. In 2010 a Groceries Supply Code of Practice was established. Where there is a Code there is an Adjudicator. In 2013 the Adjudicator was given statutory authority to arbitrate disputes, investigate confidential complaints from direct and indirect suppliers, hold to account retailers who break the rules by 'naming and shaming' or, if necessary, imposing a fine. This article will look at this new rural view and consider the implications for consumers.
Resonant pairing isotope effect in polaronic systems

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The intermediate coupling regime in polaronic systems, situated between the adiabatic and the anti-adiabatic limit, is characterized by resonant pairing between quasi-free electrons which is induced by an exchange interaction with localized bipolarons. The onset of this resonant pairing takes place below a characteristic temperature T* and is manifest in the opening of a pseudogap in the density of states of the electrons. The variation of T* is examined here as a function of (i) the typical frequency ω_0 of the local lattice modes, which determines the binding energy of the bipolarons, and (ii) the doping, which amounts to a relative change of the bipolaron concentration n_B to that of the free electrons n_F. We concentrate on a doping regime, where small changes in doping give rise to a large change in T*, which is the case when n_B is small (< 0.1 per site). For finite values of n_B we find negative and practically doping independent values of the isotope coefficient α^* which characterizes the formation of resonating electron pairs. Upon decreasing the total particle density such that n_B becomes exponentially small, we find a rapid change in sign of α^*. This is related to the fact that the system approaches a state which is more BCS-like, where electron pairing occurs via virtual excitations into bipolaronic states and where T* coincides with the onset of superconductivity.

description: Centaurs are minor planets thought to have originated in the outer Solar System region known as the Kuiper Belt. Active Centaurs enigmatically display comet-like features (e.g., tails, comae) even though they orbit in the gas giant region where it is too cold for water to readily sublimate. Only 18 active Centaurs have been identified since 1927 and, consequently, the underlying activity mechanism(s) have remained largely unknown up to this point. Here we report the discovery of activity emanating from Centaur 2014 OG392, based on archival images we uncovered plus our own new observational evidence acquired with the Dark Energy Camera (Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory Blanco 4 m telescope), the Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera & Spectrograph (Las Campanas Observatory 6.5 m Walter Baade Telescope) and the Large Monolithic Imager (Lowell Observatory 4.3 m Discovery Channel Telescope). We detect a coma as far as 400,000 km from 2014 OG392, and our novel analysis of sublimation processes and dynamical lifetime suggest carbon dioxide and/or ammonia are the most likely candidates for causing activity on this and other active Centaurs. We find 2014 OG392 is optically red, but CO2 and NH3 are spectrally neutral in this wavelength regime so the reddening agent is as yet unidentified.

Vengono scelti e approfonditi episodi e fasi concernenti lo sviluppo, la stabilità, la distribuzione del reddito nell’economia italiana durante i due secoli. L’attenzione si incentra, in particolare, sui legami tra concorrenza e progresso tecnico nel trend di crescita dell’economia; cambio della lira e comportamenti delle imprese nel periodo fra le due guerre; passaggio dall’instabilità alla stabilità del sistema bancario negli anni dopo il 1950; correlazione negativa fra accelerazione nella crescita economica e sperequazione nella distribuzione personale e territoriale del reddito. Con riferimento a ciascuno di questi nodi i risultati più recenti delle ricerche di storia economica vengono accostati alle riflessioni degli economisti coevi e successivi di fronte a quegli stessi eventi. This article is intended to build a bridge between economic history and the history of economic thought in the Italian nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Are chosen and in-depth episodes and phases concerning the development, stability, income distribution in the Italian economy during the two centuries. The attention is focused in particular on the links between competition and technical progress in the growth trend of the economy; the lira exchange and behavior of firms in the period between the two wars; transition from instability to stability of the banking system in the years after the 1950; negative correlation between acceleration in economic growth and inequality in the personal and territorial distribution of income.

description: Il presente lavoro studia le relazioni che intercorrono fra fluttuazioni endogene e crisi finanziarie facendo riferimento ad alcuni concetti, strumenti e metodologie che si rifanno all’analisi di Minsky. In particolare, l’articolo utilizza una funzione degli investimenti basata sul concetto di “cash flow” e la collega a una particolare struttura del mercato del lavoro in grado di generare una mutevole distribuzione del reddito. Queste equazioni sono arricchite dalla presenza di aspettative da parte dei vari operatori che cercano di “apprendere” (learning) la dinamica del sistema facendo riferimento a “rolling regressions”. Le simulazioni del modello non-lineare sono in grado di generare fluttuazioni persistenti che sono accompagnate, a seconda delle ipotesi fatte, da fenomeni inflazionistici o deflazionistici. In questo contesto, l'instabilità finanziaria e la deflazione da debiti rappresentano più l’incapacità del sistema ad avere fluttuazioni contenute che non lo scoppio di bolle finanziarie come in Minsky. This paper studies the relationships between endogenous fluctuations and financial crises with reference to some of the concepts, tools and methodologies that are based on the analysis of Minsky. In particular, the article uses a function of investment based on the concept of "cash flow" and connects it to a particular structure of the labor market can generate a changing distribution of income. These equations are enriched by the presence of expectations of various actors who seek to "learn" the dynamics of the system by referring to "rolling regressions". The simulations of the non-linear model are able to generate persistent fluctuations that are accompanied, depending on the assumptions made​​, by phenomena inflation or deflation. In this context, financial instability and debt deflation are more the inability of the system to fluctuate given that the bursting of financial bubbles as in Minsky.

Magyarországon a mezőgazdasági célú hasznosítást elsőként a Dél-Alföldön valósították meg, ahol üvegházakat, fóliasátrakat és állattartó telepeket fűtöttek a geotermikus energia segítségével. Győr-Moson-Sopron megyében a Zeiler Hungária Kft.-nél ismertük meg azokat a rendszereket, melyekkel az Alföldön már több tíz éve dolgoznak. A cég 2009-es alapítása óta felépített 62.000 m2-en egy üvegházat, melyet teljes egészében a termálvíz hőjével fűtenek fel. Az üvegházat paradicsomtermesztésre hasznosítják. ------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the favourable location of Hungary in the Carpathian Basin, geothermal energy source utilization is widely known. In the 1960s geothermal utilization has boomed. Geothermal heat mining was used until this time only for health and therapy reasons. With the new technical possibilities agricultural and building heating became possible. Utilization of low enthalpy geothermal sources is possible due to the increasing number of geothermal wells (1145 by 2005 with over 30 °C). Agricultural utilization of the geothermal heat in the Southern Great Plain is common: heating greenhouses, polytunnels and animal husbandry farms are the possible ways of exploitation of geothermal heat, where direct heating is common. We have investigated geothermal systems at Zeiler Hungária Ltd (Győr-Moson-Sopron county), which are working in the practice in the Great Plain in Hungary for decades. The company has built 62.000 sqm greenhouses since its establishment in 2009. The greenhouses are heated by geothermal water and utilized for tomato production.

description: Questo lavoro presenta la stima di un modello econometrico del credito bancario alle imprese in Italia per il periodo 1988-2004. I prestiti bancari sono espressi in funzione del rapporto tra investimenti fissi e margine operativo lordo (che approssima il fabbisogno di finanziamenti esterni), delle attività immobilizzate nel bilancio delle imprese (misurate dallo stock di capitale) e del differenziale tra il tasso sui prestiti a breve termine e il rendimento del mercato interbancario (che approssima il costo relativo del credito bancario rispetto a forme di finanziamento alternative). I risultati empirici evidenziano nel lungo periodo un legame diretto del credito bancario con le attività immobilizzate (l’elasticità è pari a uno) e con il rapporto tra investimenti fissi e margine operativo lordo (l’incremento di un punto percentuale del rapporto produce un’espansione del credito del 2%). Le stime econometriche mostrano al contrario una correlazione negativa con il differenziale tra i tassi d’interesse: un aumento di 10 punti base del differenziale tra i tassi determinerebbe, infatti, una riduzione del credito nel lungo periodo pari allo 0,7%. This paper presents the estimation of an econometric model of bank credit to firms in Italy for the period 1988-2004. Bank loans are expressed as a function of the ratio of fixed capital formation and gross operating margin (which approximates the external financing needs) of fixed assets in the financial statements of companies (as measured by the stock of capital) and the difference between the interest rate on short-term loans and efficiency of the interbank market (which approximates the relative cost of bank credit compared to alternative forms of financing). The empirical results show a direct link between long-term bank credit with fixed assets (the elasticity is equal to one) and the ratio of fixed capital formation and gross operating profit (increase of one percentage point of the report produces a 'credit growth of 2%). The econometric estimates show on the contrary a negative correlation with the differential between the interest rates, an increase of 10 basis points in the spread between the rates would, in fact, a reduction of long-term credit of 0.7%.

description: The WS time delay matrix relates a lossless and reciprocal system's scattering matrix to its frequency derivative, and enables the synthesis of modes that experience well-defined group delays when interacting with the system. The elements of the WS time delay matrix for surface scatterers and antennas comprise renormalized energy-like volume integrals involving electric and magnetic fields that arise when exciting the system via its ports. Here, direct and indirect methods for computing the WS time delay matrix are presented. The direct method evaluates the energy-like volume integrals using surface integral operators that act on the incident electric fields and current densities for all excitations characterizing the scattering matrix. The indirect method accomplishes the same task by computing scattering parameters and their frequency derivatives. Both methods are computationally efficient and readily integrated into existing surface integral equation codes. The proposed techniques facilitate the evaluation of frequency derivatives of antenna impedances, antenna patterns, and scatterer radar cross sections in terms of renormalized field energies derived from a single frequency characterization of the system.

description: Here we present the details of a self-consistent procedure of the photoemission data analysis within the self-energy approach introduced in Ref.1 (cond-mat/0405696). We derive the relations of the quasiparticle self-energy with the parameters provided by photoemission spectra, demonstrate self-consistency of the Kramers-Kronig procedure and its robustness in determination of the bare dispersion, examine the possible influence of a particle-hole asymmetry, discuss the necessity of a clear definition of the "kink", and demonstrate the applicability of the developed approach for a couple of samples.

description: Lo scopo di questa nota è quello di presentare un modello analitico che dimostri come la presupposta contraddizione tra creazione di valore per gli azionisti e per i diversi portatori di interesse nei confronti dell’impresa (stakeholders) possa essere riconciliata. Nell’ambito di un modello stocastico vengono infatti utilizzati i più recenti e avanzati modelli di gestione aziendale basati sulla creazione di valore, sviluppati sia a livello accademico sia dalle più importanti società di consulenza, per provare, sotto determinate ipotesi, che la creazione di valore per gli shareholders e quella per gli stakeholders sono obiettivi solo apparentemente antitetici. The purpose of this note is to present an analytical model that demonstrates that the supposed contradiction between value creation for the shareholders and for the various stakeholders can be reconciled. Under a stochastic model are in fact used the latest and most advanced business models based on value creation, developed both in academia and by leading consulting firm, to prove, under certain assumptions, that the creation of value for the shareholders and for the stakeholders are objectives only apparently antithetical.

title: Moral Equality: Article of Faith
Creators: name: Mcbride, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: In the first part of this thesis I demonstrate that the best arguments we have for the equal moral worth of all human beings are incorrigibly defective. This is a problem because many people hold that equality between persons in the political, legal and social realms depends on and is justified by their equal value in the moral realm. I solve the problem in the second part of my thesis by developing an account of human worth which cuts the chain of dependency so that political, legal and social equality needn’t hang on moral equality. The result is an account of human value as neither equal nor unequal and which preserves and satisfies the spirit of moral and political egalitarianism. What is that spirit? That everyone matters and no-one more than any other.

description: Gli anni Settanta dello scorso secolo hanno visto una netta cesura con le precedenti tendenze dell’“età dell’oro”. Di fondamentale importanza è stato il ritorno a una disoccupazione persistente. Questo articolo fornisce una panoramica degli effetti di tale cambiamento nelle pubblicazioni del periodo successivo in due principali riviste, l’American Economic Review e l’Economic Journal. Dall’analisi risulta che sia per la frequenza che per i contenuti vi è stato un notevole impatto degli eventi reali e della controversia teorica sui contenuti delle due riviste. The seventies of the last century saw a clear break with previous trends of '"golden age". Of crucial importance was the return to persistent unemployment. This article provides an overview of the effects of this change in the publications of the post in two major journals, the American Economic Review and the Economic Journal. The analysis shows that both the frequency and content, there was a significant impact of real events and the theoretical controversy on the content of the two magazines.

HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and indoor commercial sex workers : application of social network analysis to assess the potential for diasese propagation
Creators: name: Remple, Valencia Paulette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Keywords: Social network analysis, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, commercial sex workers Objectives: The study objectives were: (a) to determine the structure and characteristics of the sexual networks of the indoor commercial sex industry and (b) to determine the potential for sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmission to the general population. Methods: In-person, structured interviews were conducted with 49 indoor female sex workers (FSW) from seven indoor sex establishments in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Interviews elicited demographic, sexual behaviour, and sexual health information from respondents (egocentric data), information about respondents' sexual relationships (dyadic data), and proxy demographic and sexual behaviour information about respondents' most recent 5-10 sex partners (network data). Social network analysis (SNA) was used to examine the network structures and characteristics. Results: FSW respondents provided data on 234 sexual partners, 205 (88%) of whom were commercial clients. There was a single, connected sexual network of 553 individuals with a high frequency of dense, cyclic microstructures. There was a high degree of sexual bridging between sex establishments, between age and ethnic groups, and between the commercial sex core and the general population. Two types of clients could be categorized as high-risk from the network perspective, including those who bridged between sex establishments and those who were house regulars (clients who had sex with all the workers at an establishment). All known HIV and STI infection in sexual partners was in high-risk clients. Conclusions: SNA is a valuable tool with which to examine STI risk at the individual, dyadic, and network levels. The indoor commercial sex industry likely comprises a fully connected sexual network. The structural properties of the network suggest that if STI were introduced, even a small decrease in the amount of condom use or an increase in the number of infected individuals could support the transmission of these pathogens within the commercial sex network and to the general population. SNA also provides the tools with which to plan STI control programs, including the identification of prominent network members who may be important targets for STI control strategies.
