Texto completoLucinda Childs is a major figure in twentieth-century dance. In the early 1960s, she was one of the founding members of the Judson Dance Theater, a group of dancers, choreographers, artists and composers in New York City who reinvigorated dance forms and practices. With the establishment of her company in 1973, she emerged as one of the leading figures of American minimal dance and postmodern dance, while collaborating from the 1980s onward with major ballet companies in Europe and the United States. Whether with her own company, with repertory dance companies, or at Judson, literacy plays a crucial role in the conceiving, embodying, and performing of her dances. Through an anthropological investigation within dance studios, Lou Forster demonstrates that the technical gesture of dancing, page in hand, is constructed at the intersection of two parallel histories. In the 1950s, John Cage and Merce Cunningham devised a range of reading and writing practices in order to oppose, divert and reconfigure academic methods in which literacy serves as a foundation to establish disciplinary divisions and hierarchies. This neo-avant-garde approach played a crucial role at Judson. Among the members of this group, Childs was one of the choreographers who paid the most attention to these literacy practices, as they tied in with a lesser-known aspect of her dance training. From 1955 to 1962, she studied modern dance within the extensive network of the German diaspora in New York. Specifically, she attended the school run by the choreographer Hanya Holm (1893-1992), where an Americanised form of dance of expression (Ausdruckstanz) was taught. There Childs discovered Kinetography Laban or Labanotation, the system of analysing and writing movement developed by the Austro-Hungarian choreographer Rudolf Laban (1879-1958), in which dancers rehearse with page in hand. Fifteen years later she turned toward this literacy event, unusual for the dance world, to work with her company. Art history and dance history dissociated these two aspects of choreographic modernity when, from 1933, part of the dance of expression became involved with the Nazi regime. In the United States, the myth of the originality of American Modern dance began to take shape, further emphasized during the Cold War. Childs' unique position in this connected history meant that graphic practices became a matrix for postmodernism. Since 1973, she embraced all canonical techniques of Western dance, moving over the years from dance of expression to pedestrian activities, to Neoclassical and then to the Baroque. Positioning herself as an appropriationist, she developed a historical and critical perspective on these borrowed techniques. In her pieces, she seeks to bring together practices, genres and histories of dance that have been separated and disjointed, crafting a genuine poetics of relation

The pace of technology development shapes the landscape of almost every industry today. The words innovation, digital transformation, process automation are synonyms of success. The most successful corporations nowadays understand that technology should not be a standalone initiative gated within the IT department, to achieve an impact, technology must become a part of company's DNA along with its brand strategy or culture. The study examines the role of the CTO, which has been relatively poorly characterized by research to date. This research characterizes how CTOs view their job description, notably how they balance internally-focused attention with external responsibilities. This work draws on a quantitative analysis of 100 CTOs from Linkedln to understand their tenure duration and career history. We also collected primary data through interviews with 20 CTOs to understand their activities, responsibilities and the context that influences the span of impact. This work posits five Personas of CTOs: The Evangelist, the Anchor, the Coordinator, the Visionary, and the Strategist in various corporate settings. The study further examines the relationship between the career path of the CTO, his/her responsibilities and impacts in current role. The study indicates that the CTOs' responsibilities align most closely with the Coordinator and the Anchor personas. Both responsibilities and personas showed coherent distribution relative to the company maturity giving the opportunity to draw a CTOs' lifecycle where the Anchor is more likely to be found in early companies and the Coordinator in mature companies. Among the CTOs studied, 10% to 20% do not have a pure technical background, 40% are not involved in product delivery and only 36% had previously served as a CTO in another firm. The data also shows that CTOs would like to be highly collaborative and cross-functional, and desire proximity to the CEO.

Texto completoThis work focuses on the manner in which Alexander the Great is received and reconfigured within the confines of the contemporary English-language novel. The Macedonian king has held the attention of writers and artists throughout the centuries; this dissertation seeks to investigate how modern authors, working at a remove of centuries, with limited evidence, have contrived to fashion coherent literary narratives from his life, and how this process is influenced by the authors and the society for which they write. The theoretical backbone of this approach is provided by reception theory, which provides a useful technical vocabulary and outlook by which to approach the phenomena which affect the comprehension of, and subsequent re-appropriation, of cultural artifacts.

Texto completoGreat apes are our closest relatives and as such they are our best resource to understand our recent origins. Through comparative genomics we can fully investigate this question, but the lack of great ape genomes have precluded to have a complete view on this and many other questions related to the Hominidae family. In the context of the current sequencing revolution, herein I present the contributions I have made in the study of great ape genomes. Starting from studies studying single genomes and following with the analysis of diversity in multiple great ape genomes, I summarize the findings in the most complete dataset of great ape genomes, covering all great ape species and most subspecies, providing an unprecedented view on diversity, demography and population structure in great apes. I finally discuss the most relevant implications of this work and how this can boost the conservation efforts in the protection of great apes.

Texto completoThe Great Recession is arguably the most important macroeconomic event of the last three decades. Prior to the collapse of national output during 2008 and 2009, the United States experienced a sustained period of good economic outcomes with only two mild and short recessions. In addition to the severity of the recession, several characteristics of this recession signify it as as a unique event in the recent economic history of the United States. Some of these unique features include the following: Large Increase in Uncertainty About the Future: The Great Recession and its subsequent slow recovery have been marked by a large increase in uncertainty about the future. Uncertainty, as measured by the VIX index of implied stock market volatility, peaked at the end of 2008 and has remained volatile over the past few years. Many economists and the financial press believe the large increase in uncertainty may have played a role in the Great Recession and subsequent slow recovery. For example, Kocherlakota (2010) states, ``I've been emphasizing uncertainties in the labor market. More generally, I believe that overall uncertainty is a large drag on the economic recovery.'' In addition, Nobel laureate economist Peter Diamond argues, ``What's critical right now is not the functioning of the labor market, but the limits on the demand for labor coming from the great caution on the side of both consumers and firms because of the great uncertainty of what's going to happen next.'' Zero Bound on Nominal Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve plays a key role in offsetting the negative impact of fluctuations in the economy. During normal times, the central bank typically lowers nominal short-term interest rates in response to declines in inflation and output. Since the end of 2008, however, the Federal Reserve has been unable to lower its nominal policy rate due to the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates. Prior to the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve had not encountered the zero lower bound in the modern post-war period. The zero lower bound represents a significant constraint monetary policy's ability to fully stabilize the economy. Unprecedented Use of Forward Guidance: Even though the Federal Reserve remains constrained by the zero lower bound, the monetary authority can still affect the economy through expectations about future nominal policy rates. By providing agents in the economy with forward guidance on the future path of policy rates, monetary policy can stimulate the economy even when current policy rates remain constrained. Throughout the Great Recession and the subsequent recovery, the Federal Reserve provided the economy with explicit statements about the future path of monetary policy. In particular, the central bank has discussed the timing and macroeconomic conditions necessary to begin raising its nominal policy rate. Using this policy tool, the Federal Reserve continues to respond to the state of the economy at the zero lower bound. Large Fiscal Expansion: During the Great Recession, the United States engaged in a very large program of government spending and tax reductions. The massive fiscal expansion was designed to raise national income and help mitigate the severe economic contraction. A common justification for the fiscal expansion is the reduced capacity of the monetary authority to stimulate the economy at the zero lower bound. Many economists argue that the benefits of increasing government spending are significantly higher when the monetary authority is constrained by the zero lower bound. The goal of this dissertation is to better understand how these various elements contributed to the macroeconomic outcomes during and after the Great Recession. In addition to understanding each of the elements above in isolation, a key component of this analysis focuses on the interaction between the above elements. A key unifying theme between all of the elements is the role in monetary policy. In modern models of the macroeconomy, the monetary authority is crucial in determining how a particular economic mechanism affects the macroeconomy. In the first and second chapters, I show that monetary policy plays a key role in offsetting the negative effects of increased uncertainty about the future. My third chapter highlights how assumptions about monetary policy can change the impact of various shocks and policy interventions. For example, suppose the fiscal authority wants to increase national output by increasing government spending. A key calculation in this situation is the fiscal multiplier, which is dollar increase in national income for each dollar of government spending. I show that fiscal multipliers are dramatically affected by the assumptions about monetary policy even if the monetary authority is constrained by the zero lower bound. The unique nature of the elements discussed above makes analyzing their contribution difficult using standard macroeconomic tools. The most popular method for analyzing dynamic, stochastic general equilibrium models of the macroeconomy relies on linearizing the model around its deterministic steady state and examining the local dynamics around that approximation. However, the nature of the unique elements above make it impossible to fully capture dynamics using local linearization methods. For example, the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates often occurs far from the deterministic steady state of the model. Therefore, linearization around the steady state cannot capture the dynamics associated with the zero lower bound. The overall goal of this dissertation is to use and develop tools in computational macroeconomics to help better understand the Great Recession. Each of the chapters outlined below examine at least one of the topics listed above and its impact in explaining the macroeconomics of the Great Recession. In particular, the essays highlight the role of the monetary authority in generating the observed macroeconomic outcomes over the past several years. Can increased uncertainty about the future cause a contraction in output and its components? In joint work with Susanto Basu, my first chapter examines the role of uncertainty shocks in a one-sector, representative-agent, dynamic, stochastic general-equilibrium model. When prices are flexible, uncertainty shocks are not capable of producing business-cycle comovements among key macroeconomic variables. With countercyclical markups through sticky prices, however, uncertainty shocks can generate fluctuations that are consistent with business cycles. Monetary policy usually plays a key role in offsetting the negative impact of uncertainty shocks. If the central bank is constrained by the zero lower bound, then monetary policy can no longer perform its usual stabilizing function and higher uncertainty has even more negative effects on the economy. We calibrate the size of uncertainty shocks using fluctuations in the VIX and find that increased uncertainty about the future may indeed have played a significant role in worsening the Great Recession, which is consistent with statements by policymakers, economists, and the financial press. In sole-authored work, the second chapter continues to explore the interactions between the zero lower bound and increased uncertainty about the future. From a positive perspective, the essay further shows why increased uncertainty about the future can reduce a central bank's ability to stabilize the economy. The inability to offset contractionary shocks at the zero lower bound endogenously generates downside risk for the economy. This increase in risk induces precautionary saving by households, which causes larger contractions in output and inflation and prolongs the zero lower bound episode. The essay also examines the normative implications of uncertainty and shows how monetary policy can attenuate the negative effects of higher uncertainty. When the economy faces significant uncertainty, optimal monetary policy implies further lowering real rates by committing to a higher price-level target. Under optimal policy, the monetary authority accepts higher inflation risk in the future to minimize downside risk when the economy hits the zero lower bound. In the face of large shocks, raising the central bank's inflation target can attenuate much of the downside risk posed by the zero lower bound. In my third chapter, I examine how assumptions about monetary policy affect the economy at the zero lower bound. Even when current policy rates are zero, I argue that assumptions regarding the future conduct of monetary policy are crucial in determining the effects of real fluctuations at the zero lower bound. Under standard Taylor (1993)-type policy rules, government spending multipliers are large, improvements in technology cause large contractions in output, and structural reforms that decrease firm market power are bad for the economy. However, these policy rules imply that the central bank stops responding to the economy at the zero lower bound. This assumption is inconsistent with recent statements and actions by monetary policymakers. If monetary policy endogenously responds to current economic conditions using expectations about future policy, then spending multipliers are much smaller and increases in technology and firm competitiveness remain expansionary. Thus, the model-implied benefits of higher government spending are highly sensitive to the specification of monetary policy

Texto completoFemale labour force participation has increased constantly over the last thirty years in Australia. A number of theories and an established literature predict that such an increase in the performance of paid work by women will lead to a redistribution of unpaid work between men and women in the household. There is little evidence, however, of a corresponding redistribution of unpaid work within Australian households, raising a number of questions about the process through which paid and unpaid work is distributed between partners. A review of the literature considers economic and sociological approaches to the domestic division of labour and how the distribution of paid and unpaid work between partners has been understood, measured and explained. This review identifies two related problems in the existing explanatory frameworks; one theoretical, and one empirical. First, existing explanatory frameworks make assumptions about either unilateral, exchange or bargaining decision making processes between partners, rather than empirically establishing the process through which decisions are made. These untested assumptions about the decision making process lead to an empirical problem, whereby the interpretation of empirical data relies on establishing associations between the individual characteristics of household members and the subsequent distribution of time spent on different tasks. By examining the decision making process that is subsumed within the existing explanatory frameworks, this thesis addresses a gap in the literature. Results in the established literature rely on the strength of assumptions about the decision making process in these explanatory frameworks and neglect alternative possibilities. More recent studies provide alternative explanations about the allocation of time within households which consider the independent behaviour of autonomous individuals as well as their perceptions and preferences about paid and unpaid work. These insights guide the construction of this study, with additional consideration given to how individuals perceive, anticipate and make decisions about work and family, taking account of both the established and alternative explanations for the allocation of time to paid and unpaid work. Specifically, the research question asks: what is the decision making process when allocating time to paid and unpaid work in the household? Two component questions sit within this, firstly: what type of decision is it – autonomous, unilateral, exchange or bargaining? And secondly: what is the basis for the decision – income, preference or gender? In order to counter the empirical problems identified in both recent studies and the established literature, and pursue the research questions, a qualitative strategy of data collection and analysis is implemented. Based on replication logic, a target sample of sixty respondents is constructed, containing ten men and ten women from each of three purposefully identified life situations; undergraduate, graduate and parent. This sample allows for the comparative analysis of results between and across samples of men and women drawn from different stages of work and family formation. Subsequently the interview schedule is detailed, along with the composition of the final sample, made up of male and female undergraduates, male and female graduates, mothers and fathers who are also graduates. The results of the interviews are presented in three separate chapters in accordance with the different life situations of the interviewees, namely male and female undergraduates, male and female graduates, and male and female parents who are also graduates. Following the three results chapters is a detailed analysis and discussion of the key findings in the final chapters. Findings from the research indicate that the decision making process is based on gender and operates independent of partners in an autonomous manner. Indeed, gender is seen to be pervasive in the decision making process, with gendered expectations evident in the responses of all men and women in the sample, and taking effect prior to household formation, before decisions about work and family need to be made. The findings demonstrate that, independent of one another, men and women have implicit assumptions about how they will manage demands between work and family. Men in the study are shown to be expecting to fulfil and fulfilling the role of breadwinner in the household, with a continuous attachment to the workforce, whereas women in the study are shown to be expecting to accommodate and accommodating additional care demands in the household, impacting on their attachment to the workforce. These implicit assumptions by men and women conspire to limit the range of options perceived in the household when decisions about work and family need to be made and prevent households from redistributing paid and unpaid work responsibilities between partners in accordance with their economic needs and preferences. These findings also highlight institutional constraints that prevent the redistribution of paid and unpaid work between partners, reinforcing the delineation in the division of labour between household members. In the process this study makes two key contributions to the existing literature, firstly with a method for the investigation of the hitherto untested decision making process, and secondly with findings that demonstrate an alternative decision making process to that which is assumed in the existing explanatory frameworks, which takes account of the gendered expectations of men and women independently.

Texto completoBackground – Offshore outsourcing is to source activities that were previously produced in-house. It is a concept that has become a trend the last years and its advantages are often taken for granted. Many firms believe that a delegation of the production to low-cost countries enhances their competitiveness and that they get closer to new markets. This might instead be on the expense of the Swedish employment and investments. Some firms chose not to delegate parts of their production but can still stay competitive in their market.
Purpose – The purpose with this thesis is to investigate what lies behind small firm’s strategies not to use offshore outsourcing.
Frame of References – A strategy is to position the firm in its competitive market. The firm has to defend their position in their market to stay competitive. Overall cost leadership and differentiation are two common strategies where the firm has to perform more efficiently than their competitors. A strategy makes the firm unique and by that achieving competitive advantage. A strategy can be to use offshore outsourcing. The main reasons for offshore outsourcing are to lower costs, increase the firm focus, and to raise the innovation ability. Several disadvantages can also be identified about offshore outsourcing: the dependence on external suppliers, and loss of control over activities, and the possibility of a failing relationship and/or decrease of morale among workers.
Method – The method chosen for this thesis is a qualitative study. Semi-structured interviewed were conducted with three small firms. They were personal interviews with open-ended questions.
Conclusions – The firm sees their in-house capabilities and tries to develop them before deciding to offshore outsource. Firms that do not offshore outsource are less driven by material and cheap labour and feel that it is important to consider the overall costs. Swedish occupations will be lost as a consequence of offshore outsourcing and will generate serious consequences for the Swedish labour market. Knowledge and competences are high in firms that do not use offshore outsourcing. It is developed within the firm and it is creates a competitive advantage.

We have always been fascinated by borderline creatures. Chimeras, hybrids of multiple animals-and sometimes humans-appear repeatedly in mythology across cultures from ancient times to the present. Since the early 1980s, scientists have been creating cross-species chimeras, first combining mouse species that could not interbreed naturally, then moving on to create chimeras from even more distantly related animals such as sheep and goats. Scientists use chimeras to study fundamental processes of life such as pregnancy, fetal development, and the progress of disease. Chimeras allow scientists to perform experiments that would otherwise be impossible. Ancient chimera myths played on our anxieties about the boundary between man and animal. Interspecies chimeras strike the same chords of disgust and fear in some people as these ancient mythical chimeras did. This paper examines the science of chimeras and biological borderlines and the social implications of creatures that challenge accepted and comfortable ideas about the divisibility of the animal and human worlds. Can human-animal chimeras be made? Activists Stuart Newman and Jeremy Rifkin have filed a patent application for human-animal chimeras, such as the humanzee, to protest patents on all life forms. Newman and Rifkin believe chimeras are emblematic of abuses of biotechnology and are on a slippery slope to human cloning and elimination of the distinction between natural and manufactured things. They are not alone in believing scientists should be more concerned about the ethical implications of their work. However, a majority of scientists, bioethicists, and scholars find Newman and Rifkin's viewpoint extreme. The creation of chimeras between species-groups of animals that
(cont.) definition cannot interbreed-may seem to challenge the historically-shaky biological species concept. Goat and sheep cells can work together in a single healthy organism. Does this undermine the taxonomical boundaries between them? While existing in a confusing zone between species, chimeras do not challenge the biological species concept as directly as may seem. When these chimeras are viable, they demonstrate shared common ancestry through evolution. Because chimeras cannot breed and generate more chimeras, they do not challenge the species concept.
