Levinasian ethics and the representation of the other in international and cross-cultural management

In this paper, we seek to further the discussion, problematization and critique of west/east identity relations in ICM studies by considering the ethics of the relationship – an issue never far beneath the surface in discussions of Orientalism. In particular we seek to both examine and question the ethics of representation in relation to a critique of what has come to be known as international and cross-cultural management (ICM). To pursue such a discussion, we draw specifically on the ethical elaborations of Emmanuel Levinas as well as his chief interlocutors Jacques Derrida and Zygmunt Bauman. The value of this discussion, we propose, is that Levinas offers a philosophy that holds as its central concept the relationship between the self and Other as the primary ethical and pre-ontological relation. Levinas’ philosophy provides a means of extending the post-colonial critique of ICM, and ICM provides a context in which the Levinasian ethics can be brought to bear on a significant issue on contemporary business and management.
T-Theory Applications to Online Algorithms for the Server Problem

Although largely unnoticed by the online algorithms community, T-theory, a field of discrete mathematics, has contributed to the development of several online algorithms for the k-server problem. A brief summary of the k-server problem, and some important application concepts of T-theory, are given. Additionally, a number of known k-server results are restated using the established terminology of T-theory. Lastly, a previously unpublished 3-competitiveness proof, using T-theory, for the Harmonic algorithm for two servers is presented.
International interdependence and regulatory power: Authority, mobility, and markets:

This article revisits a fundamental question of international political economy: when does cross-border economic interdependence become a source of power. The view that economic interdependence is a source of potential power, not just mutual benefits, has a long lineage traceable to political realism, organizational economics, Ricardian trade theory, and structural Marxism, and researchers typically focus on preferred causal variables in isolation. Despite important contributions, little attention has been paid to understanding the interactions of multiple perspectives on asymmetric interdependence, or to making sense of contradictory expectations of the various models. As a consequence scholars engaged in globalization debates, such as those about policy convergence or private actor governance, frequently talk past one another. To deduce expectations about the relationship between power and interdependence, we build a model synthesizing standard approaches that analyze the effects of market size and mark...
Morphology dependent field emission characteristics of ZnS/silicon nanoporous pillar array

Through depositing zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticals on silicon nanoporous pillar array (Si-NPA) and crater-shaped silicon nanoporous pillar array (c-Si-NPA) by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method, ZnS/Si-NPA and c-ZnS/Si-NPA were prepared and the field emission (FE) properties of them were investigated. The turn-on electric fields of were 3.8 V/mm for ZnS/Si-NPA and 5.0 V/mm for c-ZnS/Si-NPA, respectively. The lower turn-on electric fields of ZnS/Si-NPA than that of c-ZnS/Si-NPA were attributed to the different electric distribution of the field emitters causing by the different surface morphology of the two samples, which was further demonstrated via the simulated results by finite element modeling. The FN curves for the ZnS/Si-NPA showed two-slope behavior. All the results indicate that the morphology play an important role in the FE properties and designing an appropriate top morphology for the emitter is a very efficient way to improve the FE performance.
Competition in Investment Banking

We construct a comprehensive measure of overall investment banking competitiveness for follow-on offerings that aggregates the various dimensions of competition such as fees, pricing accuracy, analyst recommendations, distributional abilities, market making prowess, debt offering capabilities, and overall reputation. The measure allows us to incorporate trade-offs that investment banks may use in competing for new or established clients. We find that firms who switch to similar-quality underwriters enjoy more intense competition among investment banks which manifests in lower fees and more optimistic recommendations. Investment banks do compete vigorously for some clients, with the level of competition related to the likelihood of gaining or losing clients. Finally, investment banks not performing up to market norms are more likely to be dropped in the follow-on offering. In contrast, firms who seek a higher reputation underwriter face relatively non-competitive markets.
Efficient Localized Inference for Large Graphical Models

We propose a new localized inference algorithm for answering marginalization queries in large graphical models with the correlation decay property. Given a query variable and a large graphical model, we define a much smaller model in a local region around the query variable in the target model so that the marginal distribution of the query variable can be accurately approximated. We introduce two approximation error bounds based on the Dobrushin's comparison theorem and apply our bounds to derive a greedy expansion algorithm that efficiently guides the selection of neighbor nodes for localized inference. We verify our theoretical bounds on various datasets and demonstrate that our localized inference algorithm can provide fast and accurate approximation for large graphical models.

The changing face of Soviet psychology

For better comprehension of the current situation in Soviet psychology one may want ta take a quick look at its historical past. A study of human behavior was traditionally carried out within Russia in two different settings: in somewhat more philosophically oriented depart ments and institutes of psychology, and in the psycho-physiological laboratories affiliated with departments of biology or medicine. The historically significant embodiment of the former tradition is the Moscow Institute of Psychology which was founded in 1912 by Wundt's student Georgy Chelpanov. The second trend has its origin in the laboratories of the famous Russian reflexologists, Ivan Sechenov and Ivan Pavlov and continues to flourish in the Department of Higher Nervous Activity of Moscow University and at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity of the Academy of Sciences. After the brief period of hectic activity in the 1920's, when psychol ogists worked on the creation of a "new Soviet man", psychological studies suffered a major setback under Stalin and got relatively low priority in the Soviet academic hierarchy. Graduate training was avail able only in Moscow, Leningrad and Tbilisi; the psychology faculty was integrated into either departments of philosophy or schools of educa tion; existent research facilities were used almost exclusively for studies focusing on child welfare and educational psychology. Psychology as a mental health profession was non-existent for all practical purposes. Finally, an aggressive attack of some Pavlovian reflexologists on "men talistic" psychologists launched in the late 1940's further weakened psychology's position. The true revival came only in the mid-1960's. Independent depart ments of psychology were established at the Universities of Moscow and Leningrad. In 1971 a new research-oriented Institute of Psychology of the prestigious Academy of Sciences was opened in Moscow. The importance of psychology started to be recognized not only in such traditional areas as education and child welfare, but also by the air
A STUDY ON THE NAME CHANGES AND PROBLEMS OF ADMINISTRATIVE REGIONS ABOVE COUNTY LEVEL AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REFORM AND OPENING-UP POLICY

With the reform of the administrative system and the adjustment of administrative regions,the number and names of China's administrative regions at all levels have changed a lot.In this paper,the result of statistical analysis of data from 1978-2007 shows that the characters of the name changes of China's administrative regions above the county level from the implementation of reform and opening-up policy changed in large quantity.According to the data,the names of 85.71% of the administrative regions above county level in 2007 were changed between 1978 and 2007;the change of generic terms accounts for 83.33%;the change of specific terms accounts for 16.67%.The largest number of generic term change is the "city" and "district".The number of "city" as Generic term increased by 339.4% compared to that of 1978,in which the number of county-level city increased by 287.4%,the number of prefecture-level city increased by 197.9%,and the number of generic term change of municipalities was only one.District as generic term increased by 90.65% compared to that of 1978.At the same time,the number of "region" as generic term reduced 89% and the number of "county" as generic term reduced 24.1%.43% name changes occurred in eastern China,34% in mid China and 23% in western China.The change of specific name appeared the character that the scenic areas replaced the original names and the historical names were restored.The main problem of the changes in generic term is that some cities are unworthy of the name.The population of cities in China accounted for 94.5% according to the data of 2006 while the level of urbanization in China in 2006 was only 43.90.That shows a seriously mendacious urban phenomenon.The conclusion is that the true faces of the cities should be rehabilitated and sub-rule principles of urban and rural areas should be implemented.The specific terms in administrative regions shall be worthy their names.The protection of cultural heritage should be strengthened.The strategies and suggestions that the system of the change in geographical names above the county level provide the scientific and standardized reference for the future of the change in the name of regions in China.

Una voz antifeminista? María Mercedes Carranza, Public Intellectual and “Postmodern” Poet

This chapter analyses the work of Maria Mercedes Carranza (1945–2003), one of the foremost Colombian female poets of the late twentieth century, who has received little international critical attention. Elston provides a timely re-reading of her poetry, often simply read as expressing a feminist perspective, to explore the complex position of the woman writer and intellectual in Colombia. Discussing her strategic disavowal, like many Latin American women writers, of feminist politics, the chapter unpicks Carranza’s contradictory stance towards feminist writing and shows how her work is bound up with the problematics of Colombian modernity in a context defined by political violence. Elston argues that the poet destabilizes critical trajectories through her endorsement of both Enlightenment values and their postmodern critiques.
Review of Vinson, Ben; Restall, Matthew, eds., Black Mexico: Race and Society from Colonial to Modern Times

The essays in this collection build upon a series of conversations and papers that resulted from 'New Directions in North American Scholarship on Afro-Mexico', a symposium conducted at Pennsylvania State University in 2004. The issues addressed include contested historiography, social and economic contributions of Afro-Mexicans, social construction of race and ethnic identity, forms of agency and resistance, and contemporary inquiry into ethnographic work on Afro-Mexican communities. Comprised of a core set of chapters that examine the colonial period and a shorter epilogue addressing the modern era, this volume allows the reader to explore ideas of racial representation from the sixteenth century into the twenty-first.
The Relative Completeness of a Version of CTL*

We show the relative completeness of a version of CTL* over possibly infinite states. It is based on a fair discrete system, which is with strong and weak fairness. Validity of a CTL* formula is reduced to the validity of an assertion by eliminating the temporal operators and path quantifiers inductively. The idea is to represent the predicate describing that "a fair path begins with the current state" in the underlying assertion language using fixpoint operators.
Family and non-family business behaviour in foreign markets: A comparative study

During last decades a great number of companies and industries have increased their global orientation. For this reason, the internationalisation process has also had to be realized by family businesses as an instrument for expansion and growth. In this sense, we pay special attention to the comparison between family and non-family companies with the purpose of examining those differences or similarities between these two groups of firms attending to their international activity. From this comparative study, we will be able to establish a reference framework, for a later more in depth study of this phenomenon, in the case of family businesses.
Uncountable Limits and the lambda Calculus

In this paper we address the problem of solving recursive domain equations using uncountable limits of domains. These arise for instance, when dealing with the ω1-continuous function-space constructor and are used in the denotational semantics of programming languages which feature unbounded choice constructs. Surprisingly, the category of cpo's and ω1-continuous embeddings is not ω0-cocomplete. Hence the standard technique for solving reflexive domain equations fails. We give two alternative methods. We discuss also the issue of completeness of the λβηcalculus w.r.t reflexive domain models. We show that among the reflexive domain models in the category of cpo's and ω0-continuous functions there is one which has a minimal theory. We give a reflexive domain model in the category of cpo's and ω1-continuous functions whose theory is precisely the λβη theory. So ω1-continuous λ-models are complete for the λβη-calculus.
Gender and the Local Expression of Authority in Philippe de Vigneulles’s Metz

In this essay I explore themes of female authority and peacemaking in the Chronique, through the lenses of war, theater, and marriage. In 1468, according to Philippe, a nobleman named Henri de la Tour married a young girl whom he had seen perform the role of Catherine of Siena onstage. An evaluation of the episode in light of new evidence from its textual sources reveals a carefully shaped story that draws upon historical context and past narrative events in order to create a peaceful resolution for a decades-old conflict with the de la Tour family. Through the development of three characters named Catherine – the saint, the actor, and the play’s female patron – Philippe promotes a model of power and sanctity that unites contemporary ideas about successful political negotiation with women’s urban religious devotion. The saint and her living representatives redeem a militaristic villain at the same time that the text concludes a larger narrative arc about the healing of old wounds.
The New Institutional Economics of 'The Market Itself' - An Attempted Answer to a Complaint by Ronald Coase

This paper is motivated by the remark of Coase (1988, p. 7) that "although economists claim to study the working of the market, in modern economic theory the market itself has an even more shadowy role than the firm." It is argued that under conditions of positive transaction costs, incomplete foresight and bounded rationality – the conditions of the New Institutional Economics (NIE) – the institutional framework not only of firms but also of markets matters. Actors who plan to buy or sell a good under conditions of NIE are facing two institutional choice problems: First, to choose or establish a specific market system within which to trade the good and, second, to choose a specific exchange contract. Both are nonmarket coordination problems – the first is a problem of collective action between a multiplicity of suppliers and demanders; the second is a problem of bilateral action: the coordination of individual plans between two parties. Only the first problem is object of this paper. Our hypothesis is that the organization of markets is a collective good, which may be a product of laissez faire or of planned collective action. So far there exists no systematic theory of the NIE of markets, only a number of considerations on specific issues concerning the basic functions of trade, viz., the activities of search, inspection, bargaining, contract execution, control, and enforcement. We content ourselves to describe and comment on some prominent examples from the NIE literature and related approaches to illustrate the kind of considerations that are part of an evolving new institutional economic theory of “the market itself” and argue that, for reasons of the general interest of traders themselves, some forms of planned collective actions are unavoidable.
A theory of the Firm Perspective on Marketing and Distributive Justice

This article applies a theory-of-the-firm perspective to gain insights about a just allocation of economic resources by the marketing system. It discusses three groups of firm perspectives (i.e., economic theories, contingency theories, and marketing-oriented theories of the firm) and their implications for (1) the definition of distributive justice; (2) the sources, frequency, and intensity of conflict; and (3) approaches to conflict resolution. Finally, the authors argue that a stakeholder perspective of the firm is the most appropriate theory to avoid conflict and promote cooperation between the firm and its stakeholders because of both its instrumental and normative foundation.

One development project has already been completed, producing a Finnish version of an automated 3-D blade control system of road grader. New projects are in design and starting. In total, there are four research units and 16 companies or other infra organizations carrying out these activities. The financial investment into this research and development is EUR 2 million for the years 2001-2005.
The Capital-Using Economy

It is no exaggeration to say that Capital Theory is fundamental to everything else in Austrian Economics. It lies at its core, implicit in discussions of monetary policy, the business cycle, the entrepreneur, and the subjectivity of value and expectations. Prior to the Keynesian revolution it was Capital Theory for which the Austrian School was most known among mainstream economists. With the advent of Keynesian macroeconomics, interest in Capital Theory all but disappeared. But it has recently been the subject of increasing attention. After a brief overview of the main ideas in Austrian Capital Theory (ACT) from its origins and extensions through the middle of the last century, this chapter will note this rekindled interest and survey recent applications.
Социология управления социальными формами организованности как единая социологическая организационно-управленческая Наука среднего уровня и учебная дисциплина

The analysis of existing condition of sociology as science that determined by the occurrence in it two related scientific disciplines of the middle level: Sociology of management and Sociology of organization had made. In the article the author pays attention on the illegality of definition unity object of research in the capacity of sociological science and the discipline of middle level only of organizations but not all forms of social orderliness. While the organizations are important in the society exist other forms of social orderliness not less significant and require their studying on the such level as in the organization. It has disagreement with functionally illegal differentiation on the different sociological sciences and disciplines of the middle level such complete inseparably occurrence of society as management of one of another form of orderliness. The author maintains other approach to the sociological sciences of middle level and academic subject and offers in its frameworks to unite Sociology of management and Sociology of organization and the studying of other forms of orderliness on society named it “Sociology of management of social forms of orderliness”.
Effect of Mo and Nb on the phase equilibrium of the Ti–Cr–V ternary system in the non-burning β-Ti alloy region

The phase equilibria of the ternary Ti–M1–M2 (M1=Cr, V and M2=Mo, Nb) systems are described thermodynamically, especially in the non-burning β-Ti alloy region, and the ternary interaction parameters of the β-phase are derived. The phase diagrams reported previously are compared with the presented results and good agreement is found. The effect of Mo or Nb additions on the properties of the Ti–Cr–V system was studied. Molybdenum is effective in terms of non-burning. It does not form an intermediate phase but expands the β-phase field. The effect of Nb addition on the Ti–Cr–V ternary system was weak.
Charged lepton G-2 and constraints on new physics

A review of the theoretical and experimental values for the charged lepton (electron and muon) anomalous magnetic moment $a_l= (g_l-2)/2$ is presented. Employing the most accurate value for the fine structure constant $\alpha^{-1}= 137.03599993(52) (0.0038 ppm)$ obtained \cite {Kin196} from the electron $(g-2)$ we find the new complete standard model prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a^{th}_{\mu}= 116591595(67)\times 10^{-11}$. The comparison of this theoretical value and the precise experimental result \cite {Sch} yields the estimation for the difference $\Delta a_{\mu}= a^{exp}_{\mu}- a^{th}_{\mu}$ at the 95% confidence level: $-95 \times 10^{-10} \leq \Delta a_{\mu}\leq 236 \times 10^{-10}$. The implication of the expected a factor of about 20 increase of accuracy in the forthcoming Brookhaven National Laboratory measurement of $a_{\mu}$ implies $-47 \times 10^{-11} \leq \Delta a_{\mu}\leq 118 \times 10^{-11}$, ($95 % C.L.$). This interval is used to get constraints on the "new physics". The value of the one-loop contributions $a^{B_i}_l$ of different bosons predicted within extension of the standard model and coupled to a charged lepton are discussed. The dependence of $a^{B_i}_l$ on the masses of the bosons and leptons of the vacuum polarization loops are investigated. The constraints on "new physics" by requiring that the new contributions $a^{B_i}_{\mu}$ to the muon anomalous magnetic moment lie within the latter interval $\Delta a_{\mu}$ are obtained.
