Full textAbstract:
In the 1950s, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) managed the Navajo Reservation's feral dog population by scheduling semi-annual “dog shoots.” After one gruesome dog shoot resulted in seventeen slaughtered dogs in Chinle, Arizona, community members pressed local BIA authorities to reform reservation dog control, an effort that pitted the interethnic community against an authoritarian form of settler-colonial governance. Because citizenship on the reservation—for Navajo and non-Navajo alike—was effectively rendered inferior to that of citizens outside the reservation, substantive changes to local BIA policies required an alliance with a constituency beyond the reservation’s borders, one with full access to state power—in this case, the National Dog Welfare Guild. This article thus demonstrates Native American grass-roots activism and boundary politics against oppressive federal authority.

Blood samples from 1,822 dogs residing on Native American reservations in 10 states were collected between February 2004 and August 2007. Samples were examined using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antigen capture test. All ELISA-positive samples were subsequently examined for microfilaremia. All dogs were asymptomatic for Dirofilaria immitis infection, resided outside (except for winter in the Northern latitudes), not on prophylaxis for D. immitis, and had not traveled off of the reservation. Reservations were characterized by degrees of north latitude, true prevalence of D. immitis, and a reproductive index calculated by multiplying the number of months of the year in which infective stage larvae (L3) could develop in 30 days or less for each reservation by the 30 yr mean annual rainfall in centimeters recorded for that community. The prevalence of heartworm was directly related to the reproductive index on each reservation.

Literaccy kuzyni „Reservation dogs”: analiza komparatystyczna utworów Louise Erdrich i Shermana Alexie Artykuł przedstawia analizę komparatystyczną współczesnej prozy rdzennych Amerykanów (powieści Love Medicine i The Bingo Palace Louise Erdrich oraz wyboru opowiadań The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven Shermana Alexiego) oraz serialu Reservation Dogs Taiki Waititi i Sterlina Harjo. Celem artykułu jest wykazanie podobieństw na poziomie konstrukcji młodych bohaterów w tekstach literackich i dziele filmowym z uwzględnieniem takich kategorii jak dekonstrukcja stereotypów Indian, humor umożliwiający przetrwanie (survival humor – Lincoln 1993) oraz kwestii gatunkowych. Ta ostatnia kategoria obejmuje opowieści o dojrzewaniu, opowieści drogi, opowieści o powrocie do domu (homing novels – Bevis 1987) oraz realizm magiczny. Wykorzystana metodologia to studia kulturowe, postkolonializm i postmodernizm. Autorka artykułu zamierza wykazać, że wiele środków stylistycznych wykorzystanych do konstrukcji postaci w serialu Reservation Dogs pojawiło się znacznie wcześniej w kanonicznych utworach współczesnej prozy rdzennych Amerykanów i twórcy serialu wydają się podejmować inteligentny dialog z tradycją literacką, ponieważ podobnie stawiają na afirmację współczesnej kultury indiańskiej, podkreślają jej związki z popkulturą i bardzo często wprowadzają czarny humor, oddając rdzennym Amerykanom sprawczość i kontrolę nad własną opowieścią. ABSTRACT The article is a comparative analysis of contemporary Native American fiction (Louise Erdrich’s novels Love Medicine and The Bingo Palace, Sherman Alexie’s short story collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven), and the series Reservation Dogs by Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo. The aim of the article is to indicate similarities in the construction of young protagonists of the selected literary texts and the series, with an emphasis on Indian stereotype deconstruction, survival humour and the genres. This last category encompasses bildungsroman, road novel/story, homing novel/story and magical realism. The methodology used in the article includes cultural studies, postcolonialism and postmodernism. The author of the article wants to argue that many stylistic devices used in the character construction in Reservation Dogs have appeared much earlier in the canonical works of Native American fiction and Waititi and Harjo seem to enter into an intelligent dialogue with the literary tradition because similarly to it, they affirm contemporary indigenous culture, stress its connection with popular culture and very often introduce the black humour which turns Native Americans into subjects of their narratives and gives them back control over their own stories.

SummaryObjectives: Lameness after metacarpal and metatarsal fractures in dogs is reported to occur with an incidence of 18% to 70%. On the basis of long-term results, the prognosis of these injuries was re-evaluated retrospectively.Methods: Medical records of 100 dogs with complete clinical and radiographic follow-up examinations after an average of four years (4 months – 14 years) were evaluated. According to their treatment, patients were allocated to three groups (Group 1 = conservative, Group 2 = surgical, Group 3 = combined). Assessment included complications during the healing period and the final radiographic and functional outcome, which was statistically compared for differences between groups (Fisher exact test, exact Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test). Further, risk factors for each bone were analyzed (stepwise, multiple logistic regression model). In 15 dogs, kinetic data (relative stance phase, peak vertical force and impulse) were investigated by computed gait analysis.Results: Complications were observed in 11 of 67 (16%) conservatively, in three of 25 (12%) surgically, and in three of eight (37%) conservatively and surgically treated dogs. Overall frequency of lameness evaluated by visual clinical assessment was three percent. Frequency of osteoarthritis and nonunion was also low, accounting for three percent and one percent respectively, although healing of mainly single-bone fractures resulted in malunions in 14% radiographically. Synostoses were found in 19% of patients, and significantly more frequent in surgically treated dogs. A higher risk of complications was identified for metatarsal compared to metacarpal fractures. Further, an increased risk for complications was detected for a higher degree of displacement and instability.Clinical significance: According to the longterm results found in this study, the prognosis for metacarpal and metatarsal fractures is better than reported in the literature to date. With the reservation that more severe injuries are generally treated surgically, and these fractures more frequently developed synostosis, no significant difference could be detected between conservative and surgical treatment.

Rabies remains a constant threat to humanity in many parts of the world. At the same time, scientifically grounded antiepizootic measures should be based on the peculiarities of the regional epizootology of this zooanthroponosis. The authors studied the epizootological and statistical reporting data of the Kropotkin Regional Veterinary Laboratory, presented an analysis of the registration of rabies in animals in Krasnodar region. From the obtained data, it should be noted that despite the wide range of animals involved in the epizootic process of rabies infection in Krasnodar region, dogs, cats and foxes play a major role in the reservation and spread of infection, which account for 78.6. Of the total number of registered cases, 15.5% falls on foxes, that indicates the natural focus of the disease, along with the manifestation of the disease in an urban form. At the same time, stray and neglected dogs and cats, which occupy a significant place among the total number of sick animals, are also sources and spread of the infection. Thus farm animals (8.3% of the total number of infected animals) are a biological dead end for the infection. Isolated cases of the disease were noted in muskrat, donkey, raccoon, raccoon dog, marten, ferret and jackal. The authors also established the specific morbidity of various animal species with rabies infection, that is an important aspect in the development and implementation of antiepizootic measures complex

Full textAbstract:
In an urban transportation network, congestion occurs in the form of a queue behind a bottleneck. Many studies have considered a reservation-based optimization approach for queuing systems. To control the traffic density behind a bottleneck so that it does not exceed the link capacity, and to reduce the emissions and improve the sustainability of cities, we propose a new mobility service system to offer a Pareto-improving schedule for both the portion of agents making reservations and others with fixed departure time schedules. This reservation system takes the agents’ (i.e., users or vehicles here) actual arrival and departure times from a conventional system without reservations as the preferred time windows at both the origins and destinations. Such a centralized mobility service system could maintain or improve the end-to-end traveling performance for all users. The proposed reservation and end-to-end timetabling problem is formulated as a multicommodity flow optimization problem in a discretized space–time network. We use a modified dynamic programming method for the reservation strategy on the space–time network and further adopt the alternative direction method of multiplier (ADMM) based on prime and dual theory to solve the large-scale instances. A comprehensive discussion is also provided regarding the technical challenges and potential solutions when operating such a system in a real-world setting.

Full textAbstract:
The charging infrastructure for electric vehicles faces the challenges of insufficient capacity and long charging duration. These challenges decrease the electric vehicle users’ satisfaction and lower the profits of infrastructure providers. Reservation systems can mitigate these issues. We introduce a reference architecture for interoperable reservation systems. The advantages of the proposed architecture are: it (1) considers the needs of the most relevant electric mobility stakeholders, (2) satisfies the interoperability requirements of existing technological heterogeneity, and (3) provides a classification of reservation types based on a morphological methodology. We instantiate the reference architecture and verify its interoperability and fulfillment of stakeholder requirements. Further, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept by instantiating and implementing an ad-hoc reservation approach. Our validation was based on simulations of real-world case studies for various reservation deployments in the Netherlands. We conclude that, in certain high demand situations, reservations can save significant time for electric vehicle trips. The findings indicate that a reservation system does not directly increase the utilization of the charging infrastructure.

Full textAbstract:
When Iceland became a party to NATO, the Icelandic government seems to have believed that it made a reservation to the core obligation of the North Atlantic Treaty – the “one for all and all for one” obligation — in a speech held during a dinner celebrating its signature. A few decades later, this belief prevails, to some extent, in Icelandic politics. This opinion has no substance in international law. As is discussed, the reservation does not conform to formal and substantive requirements that international law makes to reservations. Consequently, Iceland is bound by the North Atlantic Treaty in the same way as other member states.

Background: The first point of contact for patients seeking medical attention at the hospital is patient registration. Of course, the hospital needs to be able to deliver quality care. Hospitals, particularly in Bali, have a system in place for online reservations. Patients who wish to receive treatment at the cardiac polyclinic must first wait in line in the morning in order to receive a queue number before being able to receive treatment in the afternoon because the Tk II Udayana Hospital's outpatient registration system does not currently use an online reservation system. This study's objective was to develop an online reservation system for outpatients at Tk II Udayana Hospital's web-based cardiac polyclinic. Methods: The study design used was the Pre Experimental Design method. Create an online registration system in the form of a web using the System Development Life Cycle or SDLC development stage. The samples used in this study were registration officers and patients using non-probability sampling technique with quota sampling. The instrument in this study used an observation checklist, stopwatch and also a questionnaire that was used, namely the usability USE questionnaire by Amond M Lund. Results: The study's usability test findings showed a percentage of 78.90%, which is considered "Eligible." The Outpatient Online Reservation System at the Web-based Cardiology Poly at Tk II Udayana Hospital is being used effectively, as shown by the Mann-Whitney Test findings, which have a significant value of 0.000 0.05. Conclusion: The study's findings show that the outpatient online reservation system at web-based cardiac polyclinics was successful in reducing waiting times and in making it easier for cardiac outpatients to make reservations online. The Mann-Whitney Test can be used to demonstrate this.

AbstractAccording to the provisions laid down in Article 19 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties a state that consents to be bound by a treaty may not formulate such reservations to the agreement, which are incompatible with its object and purpose. This socalled 'object and purpose criterion' has long been puzzling actors of public international law. What does it mean for a reservation to be incompatible with 'the object and purpose' of a treaty? The answer suggested below is the following: a state may not formulate a reservation, if it means (i) that an application of the treaty as modified would run counter to a telos of the treaty; or (ii) that a remaining part of the treaty would be emptied of practical meaning.

Full textAbstract:
Looking ahead to the time when autonomous cars will be common, Dresner and Stone proposed a multiagent systems-based intersection control protocol called Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM). They showed that by leveraging the capacities of autonomous vehicles it is possible to dramatically reduce the time wasted in traffic, and therefore also fuel consumption and air pollution. The proposed protocol, however, handles reservation requests one at a time and does not prioritize reservations according to their relative priorities and waiting times, causing potentially large inequalities in granting reservations. For example, at an intersection between a main street and an alley, vehicles from the alley can take an excessively long time to get reservations to enter the intersection, causing a waste of time and fuel. The same is true in a network of intersections, in which gridlock may occur and cause traffic congestion. In this paper, we introduce the batch processing of reservations in AIM to enforce liveness properties in intersections and analyze the conditions under which no vehicle will get stuck in traffic. Our experimental results show that our prioritizing schemes outperform previous intersection control protocols in unbalanced traffic.

Full textAbstract:
This Note argues that the current federal laws regarding tribal criminal jurisdiction are contrary to existing policies that recognize inherent tribal sovereignty, and that to fully restore tribal sovereignty and reduce reservation crime rates, Congress should revise the MCA and the TLOA to comprehensively address the legal barriers that adversely affect tribes' ability to prosecute crimes committed within their geographic borders. Part I outlines the historical progression of laws addressing criminal jurisdiction in Indian Country and identifies the problems with the law's disregard and displacement of tribal sovereignty. Part II examines the current state of criminal jurisdiction on reservations-focusing on the lack of tribal input, legal ambiguities, and the under-inclusive nature of the existing laws-and argues that recent shifts in federal policy support broader recognition of inherent tribal sovereignty. Part III explains why the current TLOA, when examined in the context of historical acts of Congress and court decisions, does not go far enough to fix either the barriers imposed on tribal sovereignty or the problems of reservation crime. Part IV proposes revisions to the MCA and the TLOA to promote tribal sovereignty and simplify criminal jurisdiction in Indian Country.

Full textAbstract:
The Inspector General is not obliged to refuse documents that are filed and are not consistent with the law. When statutes are filed by the Inspector General, the search for the proposed corporate name is an accessory act that does not imply any obligation on his part, except that he cannot accept a name that has been reserved by another person. The reservation does not give a universal and exclusive right to its owner : it cannot be invoked against unincorporated enterprises. It cannot either be invoked against federal companies just as federal reservations cannot be invoked against provincial companies. Moreover, the Inspector General may refuse a reserved corporate name when the statutes are filed if it has been formerly taken by an unincorporated or federal company. The errors in the statutes that are not imputable to the Inspector General cannot be corrected with retroactive effect.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the status of the principle of res interpretata in Denmark, Norway and Iceland and whether a common approach can be identified. Common to these countries is the dualist approach under which a binding erga omnes effect of the judgments is rejected. The right to autonomous interpretation of the echr is reserved, as well as autonomous interpretation of human rights provisions of the national constitutions, regardless of ECtHR case law. The echr has been incorporated in all countries as statutory law and does not take primacy over national constitutions. Moreover, in order to override a national law, the reservation is made that the Convention and the case law of the ECtHR must be clear and consistent. Despite these reservations, national courts in all three countries regularly (although inconsistently) consult ECtHR case law, not as binding per se, but within the framework of res interpretata and the rule of presumption.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Trust has been widely recognized as the crucial factor of consumer purchase intention when shopping on peer-to-peer short-term rental platforms where hosts and renters are strangers. However, the specific attributes of hosts that help build trust with potential renters and drive their purchase of short-term rentals remain unknown. This study aims to explore the effects of host attributes on renter purchases made on Xiaozhu.com, one of the top short-term rental platforms in China, while controlling for short-term rental characteristics. Design/methodology/approach A crawler program was developed by Python to collect the host attributes and their short-term rental characteristics of 935 hosts in Beijing from November 18, 2015 to February 14, 2016. The authors use Poisson regression models to estimate the effects of host attributes on renter reservations. They also conduct a series of robustness checks for the estimated results. Findings The authors found that host attributes such as the time of reservation confirmation, the acceptance rate of renter reservations, the number of listings owned, whether a personal profile page is disclosed and gender of the host significantly affect renter reservations, whereas the response rate of the host does not influence renters when purchasing short-term rentals online. Originality/value This study identifies which host attributes are perceived as trustworthy and affect renters’ purchase decisions, a topic of both theoretical and practical importance but currently less researched. The findings add to emerging literature by providing insights on trust-building in the peer-to-peer economy. Useful suggestions are also provided on strengthening the trust mechanism on short-term rental platforms to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions. Notably, the study is the first attempt to examine the perception of Chinese users toward short-term rentals despite its global prevalence. The analytical insights revealed from large scale but granular online observations data of host attributes and actual renter reservations greatly supplement findings of extant literature using survey and experiment approaches.

This research is motivated by the existence of the complaints of the employees on the reservation and ticketing, which is due to the overload of work and pretty much of work overtime, so that each day the employee experiencing the excessive hours of work. The purpose of this study was to determine the actual wo`rkloads and the amount of labor required by the division of reservation and ticketing on Cathay Pacific Airways Denpasar. Based on the calculation results of the analysis of workloads and workforce needs analysis can be drawn the conclusion, that the manpower from the division on the reservation and ticketing at Cathay Pacific Airways Denpasar does not require an additional manpower. However, the workload of employees are not in accordance with their standard operating procedures as reservation and ticketing employees are supposed to, so that they are experiencing a shortage times to finish the job. Lack of times experienced by the employee is as much as 172 minutes. While for the the amount of labor on the reservation and ticketing division does not require an additional manpower.

Full textAbstract:
Peer Vries asks ‘Should we really ReORIENT?’ He never really tells us but instead like my political science professor fifty years ago answers ‘yes and no, with certain reservations’. Fortunately for me, he certainly does not say no with no reservations, but rather yes with some reservations — ‘again I think Frank has truth on his side’. I accept with thanks. Vries does, however, give a careful reading and quite accurate summary rendering of the argument in the book. I wish I could have done as well myself. Then he sets out his legitimate reservations about the same within the universe of discourse that the book sets out, which he also accepts. Unlike so many reviewers, he does not discuss a book that was not written and/or set up only straw men to knock down. For all that, the author and our readers can only be very thankful to Vries, and it behooves the author also to take his critiques and reservations seriously, that is to attempt to use them constructively. Unfortunately in his good effort to be critical, Vries also makes several factually wrong attributions to me, some of which bear correction.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine how much the lodging shared economy (LSE) utilizes minimum length of stay (MLOS) controls to maximize revenue and reduce housekeeping expense, since cleaning between guest visits represents a substantial variable cost for each guest’s stay. Hosts in the LSE are becoming increasingly perceptive in maximizing revenues. Design/methodology/approach Daily data for one year were collected for Vacation Rental by Owner properties in Hilton Head Island, SC and Orlando, FL. The collected data include daily vacancies for two different lengths of stay. Linear regression was used to explore the relationship between relative demand and vacancy length of stay differences. Findings During high-demand periods, there were few differences between the availability of short-term and longer-term reservation vacancies, which indicated hosts were not encouraging guests to stay longer during each visit. These results reveal differences in vacancies for three-night vs six-night reservations. A host can generate more revenue and decrease expenses by maximizing booked nights per visit. Research limitations/implications Due to confidentiality issues, this study does not capture vacation bookings but instead captures vacancies. In addition, Average Daily Rate was not utilized in this study. Practical implications LSE hosts can maximize revenues using MLOS controls. Minimizing housekeeping costs boosts a host’s profitability. Originality/value Although this research has been conducted for hotel MLOS, there is a gap in the literature regarding LSE hosts’ use of MLOS.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes the job search activities of employed and unemployed job seekers using self-reported data from a 1980 survey. One novel finding from reduced form equations is that many searchers, both employed and unemployed, rejected at least one offer before accepting a job. The reduced form results are used to estimate reservation wages based on a fairly standard model of job search. Most of the job searchers accepted a job offer with a wage below the estimated reservation wage, suggesting that the model does not fit the data well.

AbstractIn 1976 the UK ratified the ICCPR with a reservation that prevented individuals without the right to ‘enter and remain’ in the UK from invoking Article 12(4) and ‘other provisions’ of the covenant. Upon Hong Kong's reunification with China, the ICCPR ‘as applied to Hong Kong’ in accordance with the UK's ratification was constitutionally guaranteed. It will be argued that the legislation implementing the ICCPR does not reflect the constitutional guarantee ‘as applied to Hong Kong’ because it amounts to a blanket exclusion of all ICCPR rights in immigration matters, impermissibly going beyond the UK's reservation.

Full textAbstract:
In the latter nineteenth century, few American Indians had rights that powerful economic interests were bound to respect. These speculative interests in central Arizona Territory's Salt River Valley understood this and influenced federal bureaucrats and policymakers to adopt a scheme giving them access to the natural resources of the Gila River Indian Reservation. Led by A. J. Chandler and his Detroit investors, speculators took advantage of a series of poorly written, loosely interpreted, and badly managed federal laws at the turn of the twentieth century and initiated a battle over control of scarce American Indian land and water resources. At stake was the economic and cultural survival of the Pima residing on the Gila River Indian Reservation. While the Pima successfully stopped Chandler's scheme, they were unable to stop the economic transformation occurring around them. Lacking irrigation water needed to farm and sustain themselves, hundreds of Pima men cut thousands of acres of mesquite trees to sell. Chandler's scheme also hastened allotment in severalty of the reservation, encouraged the consolidation of the Pima to the central portion of the reservation, and provided Pima funds for the continued development of the off-reservation Salt River Project. But while it is easy to catapult Chandler into the role of a villain, the founder of the city that bears his name was a product of the social Darwinist philosophies of his day. Subscribing to the theory of survival of the fittest, Chandler used every means available to his advantage. A century later, the City of Chandler and the Gila River Indian twist of irony, the Gila River Indian community today accepts delivery of Salt River Project water through A. J. Chandler's Consolidated Canal, and the northern branch of the Santan floodwater canal that a century ago was designed to carry water to Chandler's ranch, now delivers irrigation water to reservation lands directly west of the former Chandler ranch. In ways A. J. Chandler never could have imagined, water today does indeed flow "down to the Gila."

As Indonesian hospitality market is growing, Indonesian customer preferences need to be understood more deeply by hotels to stay competitive. This research aims to examine the relationship between room service, room comfort, and reservation process factors to the performance of in-room dining, front office service, room amenities, hotel access and safety. Survey method was employed in this study, consisting of offline surveys distributed to the individuals who have stayed in one of the prominent hotels in Jakarta. The results indicated that room service does have a direct linear relationship on the performance of in-room dining, but room service does not have a direct linear relationship to the room amenities and hotel access and safety. Room comfort was shown to have a direct linear effect on the performance of in-room dining, room amenities, hotel access and safety. On the other hand, reservation process does have a direct linear effect on the performance of front office service as well as to the room amenities and hotel access and safety.

Today, Covid-19 has completely changed our way of life. The new generation has made people stay at home, instead of going on vacation. The users are not allowed in a close place, especially in a building or room. The library that used to be packed with people reading books, studying, and using the computer is now becoming empty. The room in the library has been limited only to a certain number of people to prevent any dangerous situation regarding the Covid-19 virus to spread. The room needs to be reserved beforehand for the user to use. This situation has become a problem for users as the user’s desired room may be occupied by other users. Thus, Reservation System using face recognition for the library was developed to overcome this situation. In this paper, the researcher will use the Haar Cascade Algorithm to scan the face and MySQL as a database to detect the room and time slot for a reservation. Phyton language and Visual Studio Code were used to develop the system. The limitation of this project is that the face registration took a long time for some users because of the lightning that makes it the system hard to recognize the face. The recommendations for future work are to use a high technology camera to scan the face and construct an admin page because the system does not have an admin page.

Full textAbstract:
The phrase ληκύθιον ⋯πώλεсεν, which Aeschylus in the contest of Aristophanes' Frogs mockingly introduces into six of the prologues of his rival Euripides (twice into one of them), has recently attracted a great deal of attention. With a couple of exceptions those scholars who have discussed it during the last fifteen years agree that it contains a sexual innuendo. Where they differ is on the exact nature of its meaning. What vase shape does ληκύθιον or λήκυθοс denote and hence what part of the male genitalia is envisaged? Or is it mistaken to press for anatomical detail? May not the phrase simply suggest ‘become detumescent’? These are the questions that have been posed regarding Ar. Ran. 1200–47. In what follows I shall try to show that the context, far from demanding that we give an underlying sexual meaning as well as its surface meaning to the phrase, could almost be said positively to exclude such a meaning. In an attempt to be as brief as possible I shall not deal with all of the suggestions made by the scholars mentioned in my second footnote and rarely indicate points of agreement, disagreement or indebtedness. When I confront the arguments of these scholars they are mostly those of two of the most recent contributors to the debate, Snell and Anderson.At first sight there is some plausibility in the suggestion that lekythion might denote a penis or a pair of testicles or both things. Several vase shapes have a suggestive appearance. If the object denoted is actually the vase we are accustomed to call the aryballos, the reference would be to an object whose name possibly derived (in part) from a word which had a genital reference. It has also been suggested that this object was once manufactured from animals' testicles.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the process of operative planning of the production of an industrial company under conditions of random fluctuations in current demand. It is shown that under these conditions there are losses, the size of which depends on the adopted policy of operation activity. The policy of operation activity is understood as the rule of making decisions on current production volumes based on information about incoming orders, probable volumes of future demand, and possible losses due to the deviation of capacity load from the normative one. In the paper, it is proposed to assess the effectiveness of each policy of operation activity using the indicator of the limit average economic effect per unit of time for an infinite number of periods. An original approach to assessing the effectiveness of the policy of operation activity with product reservation was developed. It was shown that when using this policy, there is an effect of product "overstock" on the chains of successive periods. It was proposed to select the initial reserve so that the probability of completion of the reservation chain for a given number of periods should be close to unity. Such an approach creates an opportunity to determine the expected economic effect on the chains of reservation of various product types and, as a result, to assess the policy effectiveness in general. An assessment of the effectiveness of the policy with reservation in the form of the dependence of the policy effectiveness indicator on the values of cost indicators was obtained. Comparison of this assessment with a similar assessment of the effectiveness of the policy of fulfilling incoming orders allowed finding a condition under which the policy with reservation is more profitable. It involves ensuring that the magnitude of losses per unit of production associated with the product stock storage does not exceed half the sum of the magnitude of losses per unit of production due to downtime and excess capacity load.

Full textAbstract:
Current trends in the tourism industry indicate that most potential travelers purchase tourism products from online travel agents that provide price promotions. Even though the range of price promotions often varies, the tourism literature does not address potential travelers’ perceptions after purchasing products at various discount rates. This study examined the relationships among different discount rates, temporal distance, and counterfactual thinking—a mental undoing of existing outcomes. Results showed that the relationship between discount rate and counterfactual thinking had a U-shaped curve. Furthermore, the shape differed by temporal distance. The optimal discount rate for minimizing counterfactual thinking was 29.62% when the reservation was made 15 days prior to departure but rose to 33.33% when the reservation was made three months prior to departure. This study suggested that counterfactual thinking mediates the relationship between discount rate and perceived regret.

Full textAbstract:
Does political affirmative action undermine or promote development? We present the first systematic analysis of Scheduled Areas in India, home to 100 million citizens, where local political office is reserved for the historically disadvantaged Scheduled Tribes. A newly constructed dataset of 217,000 villages allows us to probe conflicting hypotheses on the implementation of the world’s largest workfare program, the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. We find that reservations deliver no worse overall outcomes, that there are large gains for targeted minorities, and that these gains come at the cost of the relatively privileged, not other minorities. We also find improvements in other pro-poor programs, including a rural roads program and general public goods. Reservations more closely align benefits to each group’s population share, allaying concerns of overcompensation for inequalities. Contrary to the expectations of skeptics, results indicate that affirmative action can redistribute both political and economic power without hindering overall development.

POF is a very attractive candidate for transmission media in access network based on OCDMA technology being its low-cost, larger core diameter, huge bandwidth, more flexible, higher endurable to repeated bending, easier to install and maintain. OCDMA scheme is employed not only efficiently exploit the huge bandwidth potential of POF but also simplify the control logic. To resolve the problem a novel protocol also is proposed in this paper. The number of data channels does not restrict the number of units in the network and real time traffic always is serviced before non-real time traffic. The performance of the proposed multipriority control protocol using various system parameters has been investigated by numerical analysis and simulation experiments. It is showed that the control protocol is valid and efficient.

The Revised Prayer Book, though twice rejected by Parliament, was published in 1928 with the notice: ‘The publication of this Book does not directly or indirectly imply that it can be regarded as authorized for use in the churches.’ The bishops set out in July 1929 three principles by which they would guide parishes wishing to use the 1928 Book: 1. They would not regard as inconsistent with loyalty to the Church of England the use of the additions to or deviations from the 1662 Book contained in the 1928 Book. They would regard ‘any other deviations as inconsistent with Church Order’.2. They would ‘endeavour to secure that the practices which are consistent neither with the Book of 1662 nor with the Book of 1928 shall cease’.3. They would only permit 1928 usage if agreed to by the Parochial Church Councils and by the parties concerned at occasional offices.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for demand-responsive transit (DRT) services has continuously increased for vulnerable transport users such as the elderly and disabled. DRT operators must maximize efficiency because their fares are regulated by law despite their high operating costs. Although a comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency of DRT services is imperative, little work has been done in this area. The main objective of this research is to identify the variables that significantly affect the operational efficiency of DRT service providers and propose ways to improve the competitiveness of DRT services. This study presents a new approach to analyzing the efficiency of DRT operators and investigating the determinants of their efficiency. The results indicate the significant impacts of minimum reservation time, maximum reservation time, and operational experience on efficiency. Unlike previous studies, however, ownership type does not significantly affect efficiency. This study presents guidance for policy makers and managers who want to develop transparent management strategies.

That the employment rate appears to respond to changes in trend growth is an enduring macroeconomic puzzle. This paper shows that, in the presence of a return to experience, a slowdown in productivity growth raises reservation wages, thereby lowering aggregate employment. The paper develops new evidence that shows this mechanism is important for explaining the growth-employment puzzle. The combined effects of changes in aggregate wage growth and returns to experience account for all the increase from 1968 to 2006 in nonemployment among low-skilled men and for approximately half the increase in nonemployment among all men.

Full textAbstract:
This Article offers a new perspective on the challenges of the modern American Indian land tenure system. While some property theorists have renewed focus on isolated aspects of Indian land tenure, including the historic inequities of colonial takings of Indian lands, this Article argues that the complexity of today’s federally imposed reservation property system does much of the same colonizing work that historic Indian land policies—from allotment to removal to termination—did overtly. But now, these inequities are largely overshadowed by the daunting complexity of the whole land tenure structure. This Article introduces a new taxonomy of complexity in American Indian land tenure and explores in particular how the recent trend of hypercategorizing property and sovereignty interests into ever-more granular and interacting jurisdictional variables has exacerbated development and self-governance challenges in Indian country. This structural complexity serves no adequate purpose for Indian landowners or Indian nations and, instead, creates perverse incentives to grow the federal oversight role. Complexity begets complexity, and this has created a self-perpetuating and inefficient cycle of federal control. Stepping back and reviewing Indian land tenure in its entirety—as a whole complex, dynamic, and ultimately adaptable system—allows the introduction of new, and potentially fruitful, management techniques borrowed from social and ecological sciences. Top-down Indian land reforms have consistently intensified complexity’s costs. This Article explores how emphasizing grassroots experimentation and local flexibility instead can create critical space for more radical, reservation-by-reservation transformations of local property systems into the future.

Full textAbstract:
This study of Canadian Mohawk youth examines the complex construction of hybrid identities, by looking at the interaction between their consumption of western media/ culture and local Native traditions and customs. The article poses the question, to what extent does western youth culture as expressed in TV, film, music and sport get taken up and moulded around a more contemporary Native youth identity? Utilising theoretical notions of hybridity and hegemony, and a mixed methodology of questionnaire data and focus group interviews, the study argues that young Mohawks actively consume global youth and popular media cultures strategically in ways that both reinforce and extend their Native and youthful identities. Particularly popular is the appropriation of a range of black cultural forms drawn from the Afro-American experience, such as the adoption of rap music for instance. At the same time, issues of power reflected through gender relations, inequality and racism, and the domination of American over Canadian culture, also impact on the formation of Mohawk youth identities and pose challenges to building bridges between traditional customs and the modern world.

On the basis of paleo- and modern hydrogeological sings it was possible to establish a space-time mechanism of formation and reservation of gas and oil deposits in the Bilche-Volytsa zone of the Carpathian oil- and gas-bearing province. The time interval of their forming applies on the last cycle of the hydrogeological time. Geodynamic and secondary geostatic loadings, that manifested themselves during the dynamo-elision stage (Late Badenian – up to the present) the development of which was caused by thrust motions of the covers, turned out to be the factors of migration of aqueo-hydrocarbon mixtures deep underthrust structures of the Inner zone. Time calculations for reservation of deposits of gas fields have determined their age which does not exceed 6 million years. The south-western trend of motion of paleo- and modern infiltration waters in combination with reversed dynamo-elision have caused here the existence hydrodynamically balanced system squeezed between them which differs by favourable conditions for the formation and reservation of hydrocarbon deposits. We have ascertained the connection between piezomaxima and areas of tectonic dislocation, mainly transverse, that points out the ways of transsference of hydrocvarbon mixtures from deep-seated horisons. Discharge areas (perspective on a plane of searching for new deposits) are limited by local piezomaxima on the background of regional fields. Areas of paleopiezominima in the near-fault part of the Ugerske-Kosiv blocks at the boundary with the East European Platform are favourable for localization of hydrocarbon deposits. Results of the baroosmotic analysis of hydrogeological conditions of gas and oil fields have revealed baroosmotic flows of waters molecules in the thickness of clay rocks, their intensity and directions of motion and connections with deposits.

The paper examines the underlying theoretical explanation for a common persuasion technique commonly used in marketing called thats-not-all (TNA). The TNA technique is a communication method where a sales pitch is followed by a bonus offer with a time delay, which is more effective than presenting the main item and the bonus simultaneously. Previous research in psychology proposed two competing explanations for its effectivenessnorm of reciprocity and the anchor adjustment heuristicwith mixed results. To test these competing explanations for the TNA technique, a 2x2 factorial experiment is designed with the use of TNA and the net attractiveness of the deal as independent variables. The result found norm of reciprocity as the dominant cognitive process behind the technique, while anchor adjustment heuristic failed to explain the effectiveness of the technique. It also provides an important marketing implication that TNA can be effective only when the net value of the deal including both the main and bonus items is below the reservation price of the consumers.

AbstractIn this paper the properties of handover traffic are analyzed in the system with channel reservation. The reservation of several traffic channels only for handover calls leads to probability of handover calls congestion decrease to the level of per mill or even lower. The congestion of all traffic channels in the neighbouring cells is the cause that handover traffic process deviates from the Poissonian distribution and this deviation is negligible, because handover calls congestion probability is very low. This low handover calls probability is also the reason why implementation of one equivalent cell instead of 6 neighbouring cells surrounding the central cell does not model satisfactory the traffic flow in the mobile network. The randomness of handover calls arrival to the central cell is tested by our originally developed simulation program. Coefficient of variation of time between handover calls arrival to the central cell is calculated as the result of simulation. We introduced the ratio of the coefficient of variation of the time between new handover calls appearance in the central cell to the value of this coefficient for surrounding cell as the measure of handover calls randomness: the nearer this ration to 1, the more random is handover calls arrival to the central cell.

Abstract The narrator of Dickens's short story “Hunted Down” claims that “There is nothing truer than physiognomy” and thus puts great emphasis on the reading of faces as a means of understanding a person's character. In a crime story like “Hunted Down” this seems to be a very promising way to detect criminals, and the short story has consequently been read by many critics as evidence that Dickens actually believed in physiognomics. Yet not even once in this story does the narrator actually analyze a single physiognomic feature, a circumstance that is at odds both with his own claim about the power of physiognomics, and with the critical assessment of “Hunted Down” as proof of Dickens's belief in the pseudoscience. Therefore, this article analyzes the narrator as a dubious reader of physiognomy, who does not put into practice what he says. This circumstance also casts doubt on the idea of Dickens as a believer in physiognomics. I argue that (at least in his late career) Dickens was highly skeptical as to the potential of physiognomic interpretation and that “Hunted Down” is to be understood as an expression of his reservations, which are closely related to his reservations about literary realism.

Full textAbstract:
In an economic climate plagued by the risk of insolvency, sellers will not wish to sell unless they can be sure of getting paid. At the same time most sellers would go out of business if they asked for cash on delivery and did not sell on credit. In Europe one way to combine these conflicting business realities is by selling goods subject to a reservation of title clause or a clause de réserve de propriété or an Eigentumsvorbehalt (hereafter RTC). An RTC may be defined as “merely an agreement between the parties as to the time when ownership is to pass”. By reserving title in the goods sold until they are paid for, it ensures that goods revert to the seller in case of the buyer's insolvency, and hence escape from the hands of the liquidator. The sale fails but the seller's losses are minimised. This is particularly important in the current context of insolvency practice where the legal order for the distribution of assets is very unfavourable to the supplier of goods who does not use an RTC. As an unsecured creditor he will receive any money owed only after the costs of the insolvency procedure and the shares of preferential and secured creditors are subtracted from the assets. He will, in the blunt words of Templemann LJ, ‘receive a raw deal’.
