Abstract:
AbstractObjectivesTo estimate the dietary intakes of heterocyclic amines (HCAs), to examine the intakes in relation to socio-economics, lifestyle and other dietary factors and to compare the classification of subjects by intake of HCA versus intake of meat and fish.DesignCross-sectional analysis within the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort. Data were obtained from a modified diet history, a structured questionnaire on socio-economics and lifestyle, anthropometric measurements and chemical analysis of HCAs. HCA intake was cross-classified against meat and fish intake. The likelihood of being a high consumer of HCAs was estimated by logistic regression analysis. Dietary intakes were examined across quintiles of HCA intake using analysis of variance.SettingBaseline examinations conducted in 1991–1994 in Malmö, Sweden.SubjectsA sub-sample of 8599 women and 6575 men of the MDC cohort.ResultsThe mean daily HCA intake was 583 ng for women and 821 ng for men. Subjects were ranked differently with respect to HCA intake compared with intake of fried and baked meat and fish (κ = 0.13). High HCA intake was significantly associated with lower age, overweight, sedentary lifestyle and smoking. Intakes of dietary fibre, fruits and fermented milk products were negatively associated with HCA intake, while intakes of selenium, vegetables, potatoes, alcohol (among men) and non-milk-based margarines (among women) were positively associated with HCA intake.ConclusionsThe estimated daily HCA intake of 690 ng is similar to values obtained elsewhere. The present study suggests that lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intakes, and types of milk products and margarines) may confound associations between HCA intake and disease. The poor correlation between HCA intake and intakes of fried meat and fish facilitates an isolation of the health effects of HCAs.

Abstract:
It has long been known that Ph.D.'s working for academic institutions earn less than Ph.D.'s in the same disciplines working for other kinds of employers, especially government and industry. It has not been possible to tell, however, whether this difference in earnings represents a difference in average quality of the employees in the two sectors or whether it represents a compensating differential reflecting the greater autonomy and freedom from control of superiors in the academic sector and the greater job security of tenured professors. It is now possible to answer this question through the use of special tabulations of data from the Survey of Doctoral Recipients of the National Research Council (1989).

Abstract:
The impact of migration on fertility is becoming an increasingly common research theme within the framework of population studies. Numerous demographic and geographical studies have found lower fertility in urban than in rural areas, both in developing and developed countries. Structural and contextual factors most often explain this difference. Structural factors refer to people of dissimilar socio-economic characteristics living in different areas, while contextual factors cover the current living conditions in the broadest sense. However, when explaining the urban–rural fertility differences, the selectivity of migration should also be considered, as people who (currently) have no fertility plans prefer to move to large cities. Most studies that measured fertility levels by migrant characteristics have relied on period fertility rates, while only a few have investigated cohort fertility. This study explores the cohort fertility of females by migrant status in the City of Zagreb, the largest urban centre in Croatia. Therefore, the aim is to better understand the relationship between completed fertility and migration in an urban context. Within a country, areas with the lowest fertility are often capital cities with highly educated and highly mobile populations. Although the fertility of international mi¬grants attracts more attention than internal migration, studying the association between fertility and both types of migration is especially important in a capital city with relatively high rates of inward migration. How much is known about the repro¬ductive behaviour of inward migrants in Zagreb? Are there significant differences between their fertility patterns and the patterns of native women? This paper fills this gap in the Croatian demographic literature by comparing fertility differences by migrant status across cohorts. The analysis is based on the 2011 Census data for the City of Zagreb. The Central Bureau of Statistics created a multidimensional table based on the data from this census, which includes the following variables for the female population of the City of Zagreb aged 15 or over: year of birth, number of liveborn children, highest completed education and place of birth. For analytical purposes, the data were aggre¬gated into eight five-year cohorts, with the oldest cohort born in 1930–1934 and the youngest in 1965–1969. Fertility is measured as the completed number of liveborn children per woman, which corresponds to the cohort fertility rate (CFR). The calculations are based on the standard analytical procedures used in cohort fertility analysis with census data or reproductive histories from surveys. Women are classified into four categories by migrant type: born in the City of Zagreb (native population), born in another city or another municipality in the Republic of Croatia (internal migrants), born in Bosnia and Herzegovina (external migrants – B&H), born abroad other than Bosnia and Herzegovina (external migrants – others). The 2011 census data on the number of live births are retrospective and based on the census question asking for the number of children a woman has ever had, including children who were no longer alive at the time of the census. The analysis is restricted to women born from 1930 (aged 80–81 at the time of the census) to 1969 (aged 41–42 at the time of the census), as younger women may have (more) children, while the fertility of women over 80 may be biased due to mortality and non-reporting of de¬ceased children. The analysis has shown significant differences in cohort fertility in the City of Zagreb by women’s place of birth. In all cohorts, the lowest completed fertility was achieved by women who were born in the City of Zagreb and (most likely) had no migration experience. In older cohorts, the highest fertility was recorded among women born in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In younger cohorts, fertility was highest for women born in other countries abroad. The substantial difference in completed fertility between older cohorts born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and those born in the City of Zagreb is not surprising, given that considerable differences in cohort fertility were observed between the equivalent cohorts in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The comparison between cohort fertility rates in the City of Zagreb and Croatia shows that the cohort fertility rate in the City of Zagreb is about 0.25 (in younger co¬horts) and about 0.5 (in older cohorts) lower than in Croatia as a whole. The completed fertility of Zagreb-born women and those born elsewhere in Croatia slowly grew from older to younger cohorts (except for the youngest one). A similar trend, with some fluctuations, was observed for cohort fertility of women born abroad other than Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, completed fertility for the cohorts born in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows the opposite intercohort trend, with a notice¬able decline from the oldest to the youngest cohorts. Nevertheless, the overall cohort fertility trend is equal to that for the cohorts born in the City of Zagreb and the cohort of in-migrants from other cities/municipalities in Croatia. The share of childless women in the analysed City of Zagreb cohorts ranged from 11% to 15%, except for the youngest cohort (19%). The proportion of women who had only one child decreased from a relatively high 38% in the oldest cohort to 22– 23% in the cohorts born during the 1960s. The share of women of low parity (parities 0 and 1) decreased over time. While they represented a clear majority in the cohorts born in the 1930s, they account for below 40% in those born from 1945 to 1964. In these cohorts, in the City of Zagreb, the model of two-children families was prevalent, which is not surprising as in most post-socialist countries, having two children was a standard at the time. Women born in Bosnia and Herzegovina had lower childlessness rates than the other three categories. Women from the native cohort, especially older ones, have a rela¬tively high proportion of parity 1, while among women born in Bosnia and Herze¬govina, parity 1 is relatively low. There were no major differences in parity 2 among the analysed cohorts, with a slightly higher proportion of the two-children norm among women born in Croatia and somewhat lower in cohorts born abroad. This is expected because approximately half of the women born in the City of Zagreb in older cohorts no longer participated in reproduction after the first birth. On the other hand, women with higher parities (3 and 4+) dominate among women born in Bosnia and Herzegovina in older cohorts and among women born elsewhere abroad in the youngest cohorts. This is due to their relatively high progression to the third child (parity progression ratio 2→3 rose from 0.45 to 0.6). Interestingly, younger cohorts of women born in the City of Zagreb and the rest of Croatia are more represented in higher parities than the older cohorts. A possible explanation lies in the potentially disproportionately more significant impact of the second generation of the immigrant population whose parents were born abroad, but we should not ig¬nore numerous other economic, institutional and cultural factors of migrant fertility. In the City of Zagreb, the number and share of women with primary education has decreased, while the number and share of women with secondary and higher levels of education has increased. However, cohort fertility for all three educational groups has increased over time, with a slight decline in the youngest cohort among women with medium and high education. Probably due to the previous selectivity among the highly educated, the oldest cohort recorded a very low rate of completed fertility (about 1.1). The analysis has shown that the reproductive behaviour of in-migrants in the City of Zagreb differs from that of the native female population, depending on the place of origin. The difference between internal migrant women is minor – on average less than 0.1 children, with a convergence in the cohort fertility of younger cohorts. At the same time, the cohort fertility of women born abroad is significantly higher than of women born in Zagreb, on average by one child in older cohorts of women born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and by 0.5 children in younger cohorts born in other countries. Moving to the largest city in the country is apparently associated with lower fertility due to adaptation to high competition in the sphere of economic life on the one hand, and low urban reproductive norms on the other. The role of selective migration and the fact that individuals and couples who do not plan to have children disproportionately move to the largest urban centres should not be ignored either.

Abstract:
Stipulating universal propositions with a ceteris paribus clause is normal practice in science and especially in economics. Yet there are several problems associated with the use of ceteris paribus clauses in theorising and in policy matters. This paper first investigates three questions: how can ceteris paribus clauses be non-vacuous? How can ceteris paribus laws be true? And how can they help in formulating successful policy interventions in a diversity of contexts? It turns out that ceteris paribus clauses are not always used legitimately. They are meant to fence off a theory from disturbing factors, but economists who do not specify the clause well enough tend to fence variables in rather than off. In such cases, it would be better to use theoretical abstraction, which is something very different from the use of ceteris paribus clauses. However, abstract theorising conceptually leads one away from the concrete detail of real world situations in which policies take place. Hence, a fourth question arises: how can policy interventions be properly designed on the basis of abstract laws? To answer this question, I defend interdisciplinarity in concept choice.

Abstract:
This article offers an approach through administrative and cultural history to the problems associated with gathering and processing data for the Spanish national census of 1920, and by implication for earlier Spanish censuses. It focuses on the Basque province of Guipúzcoa, making use of correspondence between the central statistical office in Madrid, the provincial jefe de estadística and the localities, and of reports on three problematic towns within the province. The issues that emerge regarding ‘undercounting’, the definition of administrative boundaries and the classification of demographic characteristics are set in the wider context of census-taking practices and problems elsewhere in Spain and in other cultures.

Abstract:
AbstractThe author examines Williams’ appraisal of Collingwood both in his eponymous essay on Collingwood, in the posthumously published Sense of the Past (2006), and elsewhere in his work. The similarities and differences between their philosophies are explored: in particular, with regard to the relationship between philosophy and history and the relationship between the study of history and our present-day moral attitudes. It is argued that, despite Williams usually being classified as an analytic philosopher and Collingwood being classified as an idealist, there is substantial common ground between them. Williams was aware of this and made clear his sympathy for Collingwood; but, nonetheless, the relationship between Williams and Collingwood has not previously been explored in any detail. After establishing the common ground between these philosophers, and the areas of disagreement, the author suggests that both may have something to gain from the other.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT:A province wide prevalence study on multiple sclerosis (MS) was conducted in British Columbia (B.C.). The prevalence date was July 1, 1982. The major portion of this study was a review of all the files of neurologists practicing in B.C. as this was judged to be the most accurate source for identifying MS patients. 239,412 neurologists' files were hand searched by one researcher using modified Schumacher criteria for classification. Other sources used during the study for identifying MS patients were the MS Clinic, general practitioners, ophthalmologists, urologists, specialized facilities such as long term care facilities and rehabilitation centres, and patient self-referrals.A total of 4,620 non-duplicated cases were identified and classified. 4,112 of these (89%) were classified according to information contained in neurologists' records.The prevalence estimate for definite/probable MS in B.C. was 93.3/100,000 population. This increased to 130.5/100,000 population if possible MS and optic neuritis were also included. These rates are among the highest reported in Canada or elsewhere. The cooperation of B.C. neurologists made this study unique in its scope and accuracy of diagnosis.

Abstract:
The paper considers two aspects of the targeting of unemployment benefit systems: (a) the probability that benefit is received in the population of those unemployed on standard international criteria of search and availability, and (b) the probability in the population of benefit recipients that search is conducted. The focus is on Hungary but stylised facts for a range of Central European countries and two EU comparators are derived in the first part of the paper. The second part of the paper finds that most of the large decline in coverage of the Hungarian unemployed by insurance benefit (received by only a quarter of the searching stock in 1997) cannot be explained by changes in the composition of unemployment observable in labour force survey data (including unemployment duration). The probability of active search (search other than through a state employment office) is found to be very similar for those receiving insurance and assistance benefit.

Abstract:
Harsanyi (1974) and Ray and Vohra (2015) extended the stable set of von Neumann and Morgenstern to impose farsighted credibility on coalitional deviations. But the resulting farsighted stable set suffers from a conceptual drawback: while coalitional moves improve on existing outcomes, coalitions might do even better by moving elsewhere. Or other coalitions might intervene to impose their favored moves. We show that every farsighted stable set satisfying some reasonable and easily verifiable properties is unaffected by the imposition of these stringent maximality constraints. The properties we describe are satisfied by many, but not all, farsighted stable sets.

Abstract:
Microcredit, a Bangladeshi development model, has become a mantra and a magic potion for all illness of the poor including poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, and powerlessness. Many of the powerful, rich and famous - liberals like Hillary Clinton, neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz (now president of the World Bank), commercial banking institutions like the Chase Manhattan and American Express - actively promote this panacea. Several UN agencies and European development aid agencies far beyond the Bangladeshi border are also involved in implementing microcredit. Muhammad Yunus, the founder ofthe Grameen Bank, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for developing, practicing and promoting microcredit. There is no doubt that microcredit has 'indeed allowed many poor women to roll back pervasive poverty', but at the same time it can be said confidently that many of the poor within the microcredit program are left with extended threat of poverty. Critical scholarship on the microcredit model is limited, but emerging steadily. Among critical scholars are postdevelopmentalists, who examine the transformation occurring within the 'self' of the microcredit recipients, and Marxists, who examine gradual expansion of the free market economy in Third World societies within the context of global capitalism. The postdevelopmentalists argue that the surveillance strategies that are placed to monitor the working of micro credit surely transform the subjectivity ofthe microcredit recipients and this transformation is somewhat similar to the process that occurred in Western societies at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Marxists scholars generally examine the contemporary gradual expansion of private investment in the welfare sector, which was traditionally a state monopoly. They argue that the private interventionist approach enables the state to avoid its responsibility to provide welfare for the poor. This thesis investigates the claims of success of microcredit as a panacea, as well as the critical views expressed by focusing on the experiences o fmicrocredit recipients in two villages in Bangladesh. Based on a long term participatory observation method, the thesis argues that the success stories of the microcredit program are blown out of proportion. The dynamics of collective responsibility for repayment of loans by a group of women borrowers, which is seen as a tool for success of microcredit, is in fact no less repressive than the traditional debt collectors. This thesis considered both of the theoretical perspectives mentioned above, and finds that microcredit does produce a kind ofdisciplined self but the microcredit recipients also employ their own agency in resistance towards the disciplinary power. It also finds that the neoliberal policy of privatisation of welfare enables capitalism to extend its control to the poorest, most deprived of the world.

Abstract:
"Strategy offers regional stakeholders an opportunity to collaboratively influence the future direction of their regions economy. However, limited research has been undertaken with respect to strategy processes that are being used by regional economic development organisations. While there are suggestions for the ideal content of regional economic development strategies, the processes by which these organisations develop and implement strategy have not been investigated. This thesis documents an exploratory research project that utilises a case study methodology to identify and consider the processes applied in three different regional economic development organisations. In order to appreciate the context of regional strategy development, theory on regions, collaboration and strategy is integrated to develop a detailed theoretical framework of twenty seven elements that are thought to contribute to implementation. The presence or absence of these elements in each of the three cases is explored deductively through a review of internal documents and semi-structured interviews with a mix of regional stakeholders. Elements are investigated within cases to understand how strategy is being applied within each particular context. Analysis across cases is documented, identifying both similarities and differences in the presence and absence of elements. The research found that relationships were important to the continuing future of the organisations. Long term planning was absent in all cases and this absence was attributed to contextual factors such as a dynamic external environment, and a dependence on government funding leading to short term planning cycles. There was also a lack of clarity regarding organisational goals. The processes utilised in all cases most closely matched Mintzberg and Waters (1998) umbrella strategy, however, all organisations lacked a strategic approach. A tentative model was developed to depict elements thought to be the most significant to collaborative regional strategy implementation. These elements are: leadership on strategic planning; good member to member relationships; realism; long term goals; performance measures tied to long term goals; ongoing review and updating of the strategic plan; relevance of the strategic plan; and consistency of activities with the strategic plan. The need for further research to investigate these potential relationships was indicated." -- abstract.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the circumstances of accounting manipulation in the United States of America (USA) and Australia during the period 1998-2010. It is argued that academics mostly undertake research within the confines of positive accounting in which accounting manipulation is viewed narrowly as earnings manipulation, and, as a consequence, a wide range of social-psychological factors remain unexplored. That research gap prompted this study to appraise accounting manipulation from a broader perspective, considering earnings and balance sheet manipulation by using an interpretive research paradigm and explicitly incorporating the social-psychological factors. The theoretical framework of this study is premised on the fraud triangle theory and a composite model devised as the institutional analysis and development/fraud triangle framework. The analysis and interpretation of findings are based on four banking and financial institutions, namely Fannie Mae and Lehman Brothers Inc. from the USA, and Heath International Holdings Limited and Allco Finance Group Limited from Australia. The study relies upon companies’ annual reports, various investigation reports and other public documents. An interpretive text analysis approach was used for analysing the data. The study finds that accounting manipulation is an intentional activity engendered by individuals’ subjective use, misinterpretation or violation of accounting standards. It arises from multiple realities constructed by the interaction of socialpsychological factors, including the macro-economic environment, a company’s financial conditions, and accountability and ethical factors resulting from dysfunctional corporate governance, agency failure, audit failure and regulatory failure. The findings of the study have practical implications for senior executives and boards of directors who need to establish effective corporate governance by discharging active stewardship roles with financial expertise. It is expected that auditors of high-risk clients would prudently scrutinise going concern issues, regulatory compliance, and misstatements to provide quality assurance. The bodies that set accounting standards need to be independent of industry capture so that they can set high quality standards that reduce the scope for subjective (mis)interpretation. Governments should remedy regulatory overlaps and expedite enforcement. It is imperative that educational institutions re-engineer their curricula to provide ethical education to students who will lead business firms, audit firms and regulatory bodies in the future. Furthermore, the study offers several contributions and suggestions. It proposes a broader lens to view accounting manipulation by covering both earnings and balance sheet manipulation. As positive accounting research, based on large samples, is not designed to holistically address questions relevant to multiple factors of accounting manipulation unique to individual companies, it is suggested that future researchers conduct more case studies using an interpretive research paradigm to explore and examine interactions of the accounting and relevant other social-psychological factors.

Abstract:
Investors and academics around the world are intrigued by new possibilities to reduce risk and increase the returns of portfolios. The portfolio theory suggests that diversifying to include assets from different industries and various markets will reduce a substantial part of the total risk of the portfolio and hence bring gains to the investor. Ever since the portfolio theory was developed in 1952 by Markowitz, there have been various improvements of it, and the central argument that the inclusion of diverse assets in a portfolio is beneficial to the investor has stayed afloat. However, whether or not the assets are diverse enough to bring about significant gains has become the primary area of examination. In the early years of diversification studies, international diversification across developed markets was found to be profitable. As the advanced capital markets increasingly became integrated with each other, these gains diminished. Investors, in their search for better avenues for diversification, identified emerging markets as a new asset during the 1990s, and they achieved unprecedented benefits from diversifying into them. Globalisation and the financial integration of markets since then have resulted in a decline in benefits from emerging market diversification in the recent years. This investment scenario has set the premise for venturing into the less researched area of frontier market diversification. The primary objective of this thesis is to examine whether there are significant benefits for a developed market investor from frontier market diversification. Frontier markets are the smaller and less developed markets among the developing economies that are not large enough to be included in the emerging v markets category. There are around 60 frontier markets around the world and these have been recently opened to international investors and are theoretically highly segmented from the developed capital markets. This study analyses whether the potential benefits from frontier market diversification differ for a small developed market (Australia) compared to that of a large developed market (the U.S.A). The importance of looking into the Australian perspective of frontier market diversification stems from the facts that the Australian market is distinct enough to hedge major effects during a crisis such as the GFC; and also because of the investment environment in Australia that is witnessing a tremendous growth in managed funds. There is no previous research that has compared the diversification benefits from frontier markets for Australian and US investors. This thesis will bridge these significant gaps in the existing literature. The findings of this study provide a significant contribution to the literature. The study finds that frontier market diversification is beneficial to both groups of developed market investors that are analysed. But the benefits for the US investor are much larger than that for the Australian counterpart. One of the major contributions of this thesis is the out-of-sample analysis; the results from the holding out period test also emphasise on the vast disparity in diversification benefits accruing to the two investors in consideration. The findings of this study are robust; a statistically advanced and computationally efficient model, AG-DCC GARCH, has been employed to estimate the time varying correlations between the markets. The ex-post analysis enhances the significance of the results vi presented. The results from this thesis will provide the investors the confidence to consider frontier markets as potential additions to their portfolio, and will also generate further research interest in the area.

Abstract:
The dynamic nature and rapid evolution of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the last decade (which is also referred to as the digital revolution or industrial revolution 4.0) has given little time for organisations to evaluate the nature of the technological change to their business. This research project aims to identify if there is a disconnection between organisational strategic intent and ICT use, such as, analyze ICT adoption and use issues from various perspectives concerning digital evolution, strategic outcomes and long-term objectives of the organisation, and report findings. The study also aims to identify the alignment factors for technology use with strategic intent. In today's digital age, the healthcare industry has been undergoing a transformational change in patient care pathways and patient safety with the help of digital technologies. Digital technologies such as electronic medical records, mobile applications, telehealth, assisted diagnosis, and prevention have been changing the ways healthcare services are being delivered to patients. But little success has been achieved in implementing these transformations due to the complexity of ICT requirements in healthcare. This challenge in achieving successful digital transformation has given rise to a knowledge gap requiring further research. Until now, a review of the literature reveals few studies have been undertaken to understand connections and disconnections between strategic intent and technology use in healthcare. Therefore, this study aims to understand if there is a disconnect between organisational strategic intent and technology used in the digital age. The primary audience for this research is senior policy and decision-makers in healthcare and senior ICT staff. This research is designed to understand the technology use and its impact on organisational strategic intent from the perspective of clinical staff, non-clinical staff, and executive management. The multi-stage mixed-method design has been used in this study. The findings indicate that technology should be part of strategic intent, and technology adoption should flow from the edge inwards. The findings will enhance the delivery of digital transformation initiatives in healthcare and enable more successful digital transformations with lesser technology adoption, and use issues.

Abstract:

The participation of parents in the governance of schools has received an increasing amount of attention over the past decade as the state continues to devolve certain powers to schools as well as engaging in a rhetoric which calls for increasing 'democratic' involvement by members of the community. This study examines, within a regional focus, issues such as the socio-economic and political contexts of parent participation, as well as the roles of school governance, leadership and parents in participation in education. The problematics of this involvement are described in a short review of the literature which theorises specific contexts of participation: including power and democracy, socio-economic factors,, curriculum, 'parent politics' and the role of the principal. These perspectives focus on the three main players in the drama - parents, the state and principals within a regional environment. In this study the relationship between parents and school is a particularly significant one and is represented primarily by the work of Connell (1985). The focus on parents of Central Queensland also enables exploration of the different conceptions of parent participation developed in other parts of Australia and in the US and Great Britain.

The historical background of parent participation is then discussed within a 'genealogical perspective' which follows the development of parent participation in Australia through a number of important stages. These include: education's early religious inception, followed by secularisation, politicisation, corporatisation and finally to the model with which we have become increasingly familiar today - marketisation. The study then focuses on the way in which the transformation of education in Australia has important implications for the management of parent participation in the Central Queensland region -a particularly important site for study given the socio-economic framework adopted. The theoretical framework informs the methodology adopted in the study - an historical review of policy, a series of semi -structured interviews of some of the key stakeholders in parent participation and the review of the theoretical literature.

Within the restrictions of time and resources, the findings of the study confirmed the problematic nature of parent participation in relation to genuine philosophies of democracy and issues of power now 'disguised' within the rhetoric of the market place. The role of education as a perpetuator rather than a changer of existing inequalities was confirmed and the polarisation of parents into 'participating advantaged' and 'non participating disadvantaged' groups was demonstrated.

The study found that the scope for participation is a rather narrow one that tended to restrict the autonomy of the school, and did not extend to include concepts of citizenship and democracy which are essential components in true involvement. Another important factor in the success of parent participation was found to be the role of the principal and his style of leadership and the implications for a transformational style in a climate which encourages a formal transactional management style. In addition, the findings of the study indicated the absence generally both in the literature and in practice, of participation by indigenous parents.

The study concluded that the policy of participation at the school level has also been under -researched in relation to bringing parents together with the school. It also revealed some further issues of participation which highlight the findings of recent studies of family rates of participation in the USA drawn from the works of Chubb and Moe (1990), Levine et al., (1992). These could be further investigated within an Australian context.

Abstract:
Several disorders have been classified together in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (4th ed.; DSM-IV) as impulse control disorders not elsewhere classified. These impulse control disorders have been grouped together based on perceived similarities in clinical presentation and hypothesized similarities in pathophysiologies. The question exists whether these disorders belong together or whether they should be categorized elsewhere. Examination of the family of impulse control disorders generates questions regarding the distinct nature of each disorder: whether each is unique or whether they represent variations of each other or other psychiatric disorders. Neurobiology may cut across disorders, and identifying important intermediary phenotypes will be important in understanding impulse control disorders and related entities. The distress of patients with impulse control disorders highlights the importance of examining these disorders. More comprehensive information has significant potential for advancing prevention and treatment strategies for those who suffer from disorders characterized by impaired impulse control.

Abstract:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) shares features and often co-occurs with other anxiety disorders, as well as with other psychiatric conditions classified elsewhere in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV), the so-called “OCD spectrum disorders.” Neurobiologically, it is unclear how all these disorders relate to one another. The picture is further complicated by the clinical heterogeneity of OCD. This chapter will review the literature on the common and distinct neural correlates of OCD vis-à-vis other anxiety and “OCD spectrum” disorders. Furthermore, the question of whether partially distinct neural systems subserve the different symptom dimensions of OCD will be examined. Particular attention will be paid to hoarding, which is emerging as a distinct entity from OCD. Finally, new insights from cognitive and affective neuroscience will be reviewed before concluding with a summary and recommendations for future research.

Abstract:
This book describes a new way of being a couple and a new family form—living apart together—where couples who are committed to one another nevertheless maintain separate residences and finances. Although studied previously in Europe and other areas, LAT has not attracted attention in the United States, although it appears to be as prevalent there as elsewhere. After presenting the research done about LATs in other areas of the world, the book presents the results of the author’s empirical research on this lifestyle—both the results of surveys taken in 2016 and of interviews of LAT couples in 2016 and 2017 in the United States and England, which explore the numbers of LATs, their reasons for living apart, their demographics, the economics of their relationships, and their mutual caregiving. It also compares and contrasts this lifestyle with both commuter marriage and cohabitation. A particular focus is placed on the special role that LAT appears to play in the lives of women, gay males, and couples 65 and older. Ways in which LATs encounter the US legal system currently—primarily with respect to the termination of alimony upon cohabitation—are described and criticized. After discussing what the purposes of family law should be in general, the author proposes a number of legal reforms that should be undertaken to support the caregiving functions LAT partners perform for each other.

Abstract:
There is no question that the timber industry needs to adopt sustainable practices that ensure a future for the industry. This book goes well beyond simply growing commercial tree plantations for wood production. It explores new forests that can supply environmental services such as salinity mitigation and carbon sequestration together with commercial wood production in an environment beyond the boundaries of traditional forestry. New Forests targets agricultural landscapes affected by salinity and which generally have rainfall less than 650 mm per year. The book addresses vital issues such as where tree planting might best be pursued, what species and technologies should be used for establishment and later management, how productivity can be improved, what mix of environmental services and commercial goods is optimum, and whether the likely net benefits justify the change in land use and requisite investment. While the book is focussed on the low-rainfall, agricultural, inland zone of the Murray-Darling Basin wherever possible the scope of most chapters has been expanded to synthesise generic information applicable to other regions in Australia and elsewhere. The authors provide a comprehensive account of all the issues relevant to the development of these new forests, covering soils, the bio-physical environment, water use and irrigation strategies - including the use of wastewater, silviculture, pests and diseases, wood quality and products, and economics and policy implications.

Abstract:
This book is about the political events and decisions in the 1980s and 1990s that established the global economy we have today. Different social scientists and other commentators have described the foundations of globalization very differently. Some have linked the rise of free trade and multinational enterprises to the democratic expression of ordinary people’s hopes and desires; others have said they were a top-down project requiring, if anything, the circumvention of democracy. This book shows that politicians did not decide to embrace globalization because of the preferences of the mass public. Instead, using comparative-historical case studies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, this book shows that politicians’ decisions reflected the agendas and outlooks of various kinds of elites. On the basis of more than a hundred interviews, and analyses of materials from archives in all three countries, the book tells the story of how the three countries negotiated and ratified two agreements that substantially opened and integrated their economies: the 1989 Canada-US and trilateral 1994 North American Free Trade Agreements. Contrary to what many people believe, these agreements (like free trade elsewhere) were based less on mainstream, neoclassical economics than on the informal, self-serving economic ideas of businesspeople. This folk economics shaped the contents of the agreements, and helped bind together the elite coalitions whose support made them politically possible. These same ideas, however, have reinforced some harmful economic misunderstandings, and have even contributed to the recent backlash against globalization in some countries.

Abstract:
Aversion of the discipline of economics to things military, which Sovietology, its peripheral field, emulated, is shown to be a part of a more general pattern in the social sciences. A survey of articles about the German economy in 1934–1939 finds that the authors largely ignored another great peacetime military buildup of the twentieth century. It was seen as a peculiar and successful variant of employment policy, with potential lessons for other Depression-stricken economies. Archeologists and anthropologists bypassed the evidence of warfare in pre-literate societies, or gave it strained pacific interpretations. Academic historians marginalized their colleagues specializing in military history. Civilianizing tendencies in the study of other countries and in other disciplines support some of my arguments about Sovietology, and at the same time make its case all the more instructive.

Abstract:
The IFRS is a useful international financial reporting framework that ensures comparable and quality financial information disclosure. IFRS perceived benefits compare to local and regional accounting standards has led to its adoption and implementation by several countries around the globe. However, IFRS is argued to benefit the developed countries the most due to their strong market and institutional settings (He, Wong & Young, 2009). This paper critically explores the question of whether IFRS adoption benefits in a developing country such as Nigeria is time-lag. The paper is a library research thus inferences were drawn deductively base on previous works conducted in Nigeria and elsewhere on IFRS adoption. This approach was further complimented by the conduct of interview with three professional accountants in practice and two economics analysts. It was revealed and concluded that due to their weak market, institutional settings and other factors, a time-lag is necessary for Nigeria and indeed all other developing countries to fully maximise the benefits of IFRS adoption and implementation. Notwithstanding, the paper recommends that to fast track IFRS benefits, developing countries and Nigeria in particular, should overhaul capital market infrastructure and ensure a strong ethical and good corporate governance environment as well as strict compliance with IFRS requirements through increase monitoring and use of sanctions by regulators.

Abstract:
This chapter proposes a Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) and a Modified Cuckoo Search Algorithm (MCSA) for solving short-term hydrothermal scheduling (ST-HTS) problem. The CSA method is a new meta-heuristic algorithm inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species for solving optimization problems. In the MCSA method, the eggs are first classified into two groups in which ones with low fitness function are put in top group whereas others with higher fitness function are put in abandoned group. In addition, an updated step size in the MCSA changes and tends to decrease as the iteration increases leading to near global optimal solution. The robustness and effectiveness of the CSA and MCSA are tested on several systems with different objective functions of thermal units. The results obtained by the CSA and MCSA are analyzed and compared have shown that the two methods are favorable for solving short-term hydrothermal scheduling problems.

Abstract:
The chapter argues theoretically that economic recessions spur tax introductions, and investigates this claim empirically. It finds that recessions have indeed sped up the adoption of some taxes in a global sample of countries as the ‘recessionist’ hypothesis would suggest. This effect was particularly pronounced for inheritance taxes and social security contributions. Yet it also finds that recessions slowed down the introduction of other taxes, most notably personal income and value added taxes. The chapter identifies a change of the relationship between recessions and tax introductions in the 1930s, arguably reflecting the emergence of new ideas in economics and policy making related to the Great Depression. It concludes with a case study of inheritance tax introductions during the Long Depression of the nineteenth century. The study shows how the interaction between recessions and tax introductions unfolded in Great Britain and elsewhere.

Abstract:
Chapter 17 describes how the concept of mutuality extends well beyond that of mutually owned businesses. Mars itself is entirely owned by the Mars family. Many of the companies described in the book are stock corporations with external shareholders. One of the ways in which family firms can retain a focus on the common purpose of the business after the family has withdrawn or sold out to other shareholders is through ‘industrial foundations’ that confer a substantial fraction of the ownership of firms on foundations. These are particularly commonplace in Denmark and Germany, and some of the most successful companies in the world, such as the shipping company Maersk and the media firm Bertelsmann have these ownership forms. The principle of the Economics of Mutuality is about aligning the interests of diverse parties to a common purpose. This can be adopted in companies with any type of ownership but where it takes the form of, for example, mutuals or foundations, then it creates a commitment to the common purpose that may not be observed to the same degree elsewhere.

Abstract:
As discussed in the preceding chapter, wind resources available from nonforested, nonurban, land-based environments in the United States are more than sufficient to meet present and projected future US demand for electricity. Wind resources are comparably abundant elsewhere. As indicated in Table 10.2, a combination of onshore and offshore wind could accommodate prospective demand for electricity for all of the countries classified as top- 10 emitters of CO2. Solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface averages about 200 W m– 2 (Fig. 4.1). If this power source could be converted to electricity with an efficiency of 20%, as little as 0.1% of the land area of the United States (3% of the area of Arizona) could supply the bulk of US demand for electricity. As discussed later in this chapter, the potential source of power from the sun is significant even for sun- deprived countries such as Germany. Wind and solar energy provide potentially complementary sources of electricity in the sense that when the supply from one is low, there is a good chance that it may be offset by a higher contribution from the other. Winds blow strongest typically at night and in winter. The potential supply of energy from the sun, in contrast, is highest during the day and in summer. The source from the sun is better matched thus than wind to respond to the seasonal pattern of demand for electricity, at least for the United States (as indicated in Fig. 10.5).There are two approaches available to convert energy from the sun to electricity. The first involves using photovoltaic (PV) cells, devices in which absorption of radiation results directly in production of electricity. The second is less direct. It requires solar energy to be captured and deployed first to produce heat, with the heat used subsequently to generate steam, the steam applied then to drive a turbine. The sequence in this case is similar to that used to generate electricity in conventional coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear- powered systems. The difference is that the energy source is light from the sun rather than a carbon- based fossil fuel or fissionable uranium.

Abstract:
With dwindling water supplies and the impacts of climate change, many cities are turning to water sources previously considered unusable. One such source for inland cities is brackish groundwater. With prolonged drought throughout Texas, cities such as El Paso, Lubbock, and San Antonio are desalinating brackish groundwater to supplement existing water sources. Similar projects are under consideration elsewhere in Texas. While brackish groundwater contains fewer total dissolved solids than seawater, desalination of brackish groundwater is still an energy-intensive process. Brackish water desalination using reverse osmosis, the most common desalination membrane treatment process, consumes 20 to 40 times more energy than traditional surface water treatment using local water sources. This additional energy consumption leads to increased carbon emissions when using fossil fuel-generated electricity. As a result of concern over greenhouse gas emissions from additional energy consumption, some desalination plants are powered by wind-generated electricity. West Texas is a prime area for desalination of brackish groundwater using wind power, since both wind and brackish groundwater resources are abundant in the area. Most of the Texas Panhandle and Plains region has wind resource potential classified as Class 3 or higher. Additionally, brackish groundwater is found at depths less than 150 m in most of west Texas. This combination of wind and brackish groundwater resources presents opportunities for the production of alternative drinking water supplies without severe carbon emissions. Additionally, since membrane treatment is not required to operate continuously, desalination matches well with variable wind power. Implementing a brackish groundwater desalination project using wind-generated electricity requires economic feasibility, in addition to the geographic availability of the two resources. Using capital and operating cost data for wind turbines and desalination membranes, we conducted a thermoeconomic analysis for three parameters: 1) transmission and transport, 2) geographic proximity, and 3) aquifer volume. Our first parameter analyzes the cost effectiveness of tradeoffs between building infrastructure to transmit wind-generated electricity to the desalination facility versus pipelines to transport brackish groundwater to the wind turbines. Secondly, we estimate the maximum distance between the wind turbines and brackish groundwater at which desalination using wind power remains economically feasible. Finally, we estimate the minimum available brackish aquifer volume necessary to make such a project profitable. Our analysis illustrates a potential drinking water option for Texas (and other parts of the world with similar conditions) using renewable energy to treat previously unusable water. Harnessing these two resources in an economically efficient manner may help reduce future strain on the energy-water nexus.

The paper discusses urban-rural connections that arise from the geographical ap­proximation of place of residence and place of work (home-based business). The research was conducted on a sample of 310 entrepreneurs who work from home, and the locations of the respondents were classified according to the distance from the central market (Belgrade) into three zones: center, periphery and semi-periphery. The connections between these three zones and their spatial-functional relations were investigated by spatial analysis of the distribution of their main sources of equipment and raw materials, on the one hand, and the distribution of their consumers, on the other. The results showed that the flexibility of the location of work es­tablishes intensive connections between settlements, which implies new forms of interaction between the village and the city and the diversification of the rural economy.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the economic advantages and disadvantages of multi-axis point absorber wave energy converters in comparison to conventional heave-only point absorbers. A multi-axis point absorber wave energy converter (MA-PAWEC) is classified as a point absorber device that has a power take off (PTO) system extracting energy from more than one mode of motion (e.g. heave and surge). The majority of existing point absorber devices operate in heave mode alone. Therefore the forces exerted along other axes must be resisted by the mooring system, any reciprocal component of which constitutes a wasted opportunity to extract energy. The economics of PAWECs are governed by the available resource, energy generated by the device, capital cost and operational cost. These factors are examined for MA-PAWECs and compared to a generic heave-PAWEC. For a performance comparison, a simple generic body PAWEC is examined under heave mode operation and multi-axis operation in a representative spectrum. The modelling is based on linear potential theory. The potential advantages of MA-PAWECS are identified as greater energy absorption, fewer installed devices for a given capacity, and greater array control. Disadvantages include higher capex, higher maintenance costs and sensitivity to PTO costs. The performance and costs are assigned an estimated economic scaling factor and are applied to a generic heave-PAWEC for an economic comparison of the two devices. This indicates that a multi-axis approach to point absorbers could offer a 21% lower cost of electricity than the incumbent heave-response devices.

Abstract:
In the socialist era, economists, like other scientists, had limited connections to the West and their work rarely appeared in international journals due to methodological differences between the Western and the socialist scholars in social sciences, inadequacies in English, and other legal restrictions. After the collapse of socialism, legal barriers were lifted but the new republics still needed new economists equipped with the requirements of the new economic order based on private property and market mechanisms. To this end, they reorganized their economics curricula, published new textbooks, and trained students and academics. Aim of this study is to discuss impact of policies adopted in economics education by transition countries on publication performances of economists in former socialist countries in Balkan region. In this regard, articles published by the economists of former socialist countries in the Balkans between 1990 and 2013 are examined. The articles published in journals indexed by Scopus database are classified on the bases of countries, dates, authors, affiliations, journals and subjects. Long term trends derived from these classifications are interpreted. The results of this study show that number of publications by Balkan economists in Scopus economics journals increased gradually over 1990-2013 period: Particularly, increasing number of regional journals indexed in the Scopus soared the international publications of the Balkan economists. Overwhelming majority of these works are in English, published in regional journals and are about regional issues. The study also revealed that most of the contributors are affiliated to big, old, public universities of the region.

In the accounting sense, an investment is the allocation of an amount available for the purchase of an asset, which will determine the future financial flows of income and expenses. Investments can be classified into two categories: domestic investments - consist of the allocation of capital for the purchase of machines, equipment, constructions, licenses, patents, etc. Their purpose can be to reduce costs, increase production, improve quality, increase market share, etc.; foreign investments - consist of capital investments in shares in other companies. They are also called financial investments and aim to increase the value of the company and diversify sources of income. We also analyze in this article the investment decision. The investment decision is the most important financial decision which a manager has to make. An investment usually involves allocating large sums of money in the long run, with a relatively high degree of risk. We also present and analyze both the stages of establishing an investment decision and the methods of evaluating an investment project. The article also presents management elements regarding the investment recovery term; discounted net value method, investment risk assessment.

Abstract:
The 5 Russian Arctic Seas have common features, but differ significantly from each other in the sea ice regime and navigation specifics. Navigation in the Arctic is a big challenge, especially during the winter season. However, it is necessary, due to limited natural resources elsewhere on Earth that may be easier for exploitation. Therefore sea ice is an important issue for future development. We foresee that the Arctic may become ice free in summer as a result of global warming and even light yachts will be able to pass through the Eastern Passage. There have been several such examples in the last years. But sea ice is an inherent feature of Arctic Seas in winter, it is permanently immanent for the Central Arctic Basin. That is why it is important to get appropriate knowledge about sea ice properties and operations in ice conditions. Four seas, the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, and Chukchi have been examined in the book “Russian Arctic Seas. Navigation Condition and Accidents”, Marchenko, 2012 [1]. The book is devoted to the eastern sector of the Arctic, with a description of the seas and accidents caused by heavy ice conditions. The traditional physical-geographical characteristics, information about the navigation conditions and the main sea routes and reports on accidents that occurred in the 20th century have reviewed. An additional investigation has been performed for more recent accidents and for the Barents Sea. Considerable attention has been paid to problems associated with sea ice caused by the present development of the Arctic. Sea ice can significantly affect shipping, drilling, and the construction and operation of platforms and handling terminals. Sea ice is present in the main part of the east Arctic Sea most of the year. The Barents Sea, which is strongly influenced and warmed by the North Atlantic Current, has a natural environment that is dramatically different from those of the other Arctic seas. The main difficulties with the Barents Sea are produced by icing and storms and in the north icebergs. The ice jet is the most dangerous phenomenon in the main straits along the Northern Sea Route and in Chukchi Seas. The accidents in the Arctic Sea have been classified, described and connected with weather and ice conditions. Behaviour of the crew is taken into consideration. The following types of the ice-induced accidents are distinguished: forced drift, forced overwintering, shipwreck, and serious damage to the hull in which the crew, sometimes with the help of other crews, could still save the ship. The main reasons for shipwrecks and damages are hits of ice floes (often in rather calm ice conditions), ice nipping (compression) and drift. Such investigation is important for safety in the Arctic.

Abstract:
Data published elsewhere (Moore, et al., 1992; Bergman et al., 1997) suggests that the then costs of disposable type Glass Fibre HEPA filtration trains to the DOE was $55million per year (based on an average usage of HEPA panels of 11,748 pieces per year between 1987 and 1990), $50million of which was attributable to installation, testing, removal and disposal. The same authors suggest that by 1995 the number of HEPA panels being used had dropped to an estimated 4000 pieces per year due to the ending of the Cold War. The yearly cost to the DOE of 4000 units per year was estimated to be $29.5 million using the same parameters that previously suggested the $55 million figure. Within that cost estimate, $300 each was the value given to the filter and $4,450 was given to peripheral activity per filter. Clearly, if the $4,450 component could be reduced, tremendous saving could result, in addition to a significant reduction in the legacy burden of waste volumes. This same cost is applied to both the 11,748 and 4000 usage figures. The work up to now has focussed on the development of a low cost, long life (cleanable), direct replacement of the traditional filter train. This paper will review an alternative strategy, that of preventing the contaminating dust from reaching and blinding the HEPA filters, and thereby removing the need to replace them. What has become clear is that ‘low cost’ and ‘Metallic HEPA’ are not compatible terms. The original Bergman et al., 1997 work suggested that 1000 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (1690 m3/hr) stainless HEPAs could be commercially available for $5000 each after development (although the $70,000 development unit may be somewhat exaggerated – the authors own company have estimated development units able to be retrofitted into strengthened standard housings would be available for perhaps $30,000). The likely true cost of such an item produced industrially in significant numbers may be closer to $15,000 each. That being the case, the economics for replacing glass fibre HEPAs with the metallic, cleanable alternative are unjustifiable except on ethical grounds. By proposing the protection of the traditional Glass Fibre HEPA from its blinding contamination, a means is presented to reduce both their life costs and ultimate waste volumes. An examination of the case for self-cleaning HEPA protection also suggests that, even when the mechanical life limit of the HEPA train is reached, the degree of contamination could be reduced to such an extent that its means/classification of final disposal may be modified to further reduce cost. Pulsed jet filtration using metallic filter media is a practical and industrially proven means by which solids can be prevented from reaching the HEPA train and returned to the operator for disposal, whilst not interrupting the process flow through the system. Field experience and data to prove the contention is available. There are clearly benefits with regard to disposal in returning to the user the small quantities of dust that would otherwise lead to the contamination and blinding of the large volume of the filter train. A cost benefit analysis shows that this radical solution to HEPA cost amelioration can work. Presenting a review of the technology and its application to other areas illustrates that where gross dust removal or recovery is necessary, or where extreme conditions make traditional HEPA technologies impractical, metallic filtration systems can (and do) also offer economic and industrially real solutions.
