Women’S Menarche Stories From A Multicultural Sample, Ayse K. Uskul
Women’S Menarche Stories From A Multicultural Sample, Ayse K. Uskul
Ayse K Uskul
This paper reports on the findings of a focus group study that examines how women experienced menarche at the personal level and in relation to the larger cultural, religious, and societal environment. Fifty-three women from 34 different countries were recruited in 13 focus groups. At the personal level, menarche stories shared in this study revealed salient themes concerning feelings experienced at the time of menarche, the importance of mother’s reactions to their daughter’s first menstruation, difficulties around understanding the meanings attached to menarche by others, managing menstrual products, and making sense of formal education related to menstruation, and finally the …

Financial Development And Economic Growth In Australia: An Empirical Analysis, James B. Ang
Financial Development And Economic Growth In Australia: An Empirical Analysis, James B. Ang
James B Ang
The paper empirically examines the dynamic relationship between financial development and economic growth in Australia in terms of bank-based and market-based financial structure. A time-series approach using the VAR Model is used to provide evidence for the dynamic relationship. The paper provides empirical evidence on the causal impact of the financial market on the economic growth of the Australian economy. The results suggest that financial intermediaries and financial markets have different impacts on economic growth given their diverse roles in the domestic econ-omy. In particular there is evidence of causality from economic growth to the development of the financial intermediaries. …
Aggregate Consumption Spending, The Stock Market, And Asymmetric Error Correction, Lonnie K. Stevans
Aggregate Consumption Spending, The Stock Market, And Asymmetric Error Correction, Lonnie K. Stevans
Lonnie K. Stevans
In this study, we show how changes in wealth resulting from unanticipated changes in the value of equity holdings begin a process whereby households alter consumption growth in order to close the gap between actual and target spending. Because of changing uncertainty or equity price volatility over the stock market cycle, we found the time path of this adjustment to exhibit near random walk behavior during stock market downturns. Conversely, during “boom” periods, e.g. when the value of equities held by households was greater than the threshold, the growth in consumer spending was quick to eliminate the disparity between actual …

How Do Polish Learners Of English Rate Bilingual And Monolingual Dictionaries?, Robert Lew
Robert Lew
The topic of this paper is the evaluation by Polish learners of English of bilingual and monolingual dictionaries used by those learners. Data for the paper come from 712 Polish learners of English representing a broad range of EFL proficiency levels. Subjects were asked to rate two dictionaries: their dictionary of first choice and their dictionary of second choice. The effect of choice as a predictor variable is also explored. A tendency is revealed for the mid-level competence learners to give the lowest ratings to their dictionaries. Monolingual dictionaries were given significantly higher ratings than bilingual dictionaries. Subjects rated dictionaries …

Imagining Alternativas To Global, Corporate, New Economy Academic Capitalism, Gary Rhoades, Alma Maldonado-Maldonado, Imanol Ordorika, Martín Velásquez
Imanol Ordorika
In this article, the authors detail the conditions and patterns of academic capitalism and the new economy in US higher education. Subsequently, a conceptual model is offered for considering the international reach and national and local patterns of academic capitalism. Further, a distinctive Mexican case of entrepreneurialism is offered. The article concludes with a discussion of alternatives for a model of a universidad latinoamericana that is grounded in the historical role of Latin American universities.

Ramiro Esqueda-Walle
El trabajo analiza las características socioeconómicas de la Zona Conurbada del Sur de Tamaulipas, sin embargo, se analiza con mayor profundidad la dimensión regional que presenta Altamira, ya que este municipio sin duda es el que mayor proyección económica tiene por la vocación portuaria e industrial que va adquiriendo paulatinamente.
The Scope Of Tolerance And Its Moral Reasoning, Raphael Cohen-Almagor
The Scope Of Tolerance And Its Moral Reasoning, Raphael Cohen-Almagor
raphael cohen-almagor
This essay aims to consider the scope of tolerance and its moral reasoning. I first discuss the reluctance of prominent philosophers to prescribe boundaries to liberty and tolerance. I then focus attention on Rawls’ discussion on tolerance, which I find quite disappointing, yet argue that his line of reasoning on the question of tolerating the intolerant contributed to the very fashionable consequentialist approach. After criticizing the consequentialist reasoning I introduce an alternative approach: the principled reasoning. I explain that much of the liberal reasoning is inspired by the fear of sliding down the slippery slope, and finally turn to discuss …
La Educación Superior En El Contexto Actual De La Sociedad Mexicana, Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez, Humberto Muñoz-García
La Educación Superior En El Contexto Actual De La Sociedad Mexicana, Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez, Humberto Muñoz-García
Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Esta obra explora en qué medida los cambios demográficos, sociales y políticos de la coyuntura actual están afectando, al mismo tiempo que abriendo oportunidades, al sistema de educación superior del país. Los autores proponen distintos planos analíticos en esa exploración, desde el análisis de indicadores estadísticos que reflejan la intersección entre las variables sociales de contexto y las educativas, hasta la consideración de los posibles efectos de la transición política en el sistema de pactos entre la universidad, la sociedad y el estado del México contemporáneo.
Acreditación ¿Ave Fénix De La Educación Superior?, Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Acreditación ¿Ave Fénix De La Educación Superior?, Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
La acreditación aparece como el fénix de la crisis universitaria, pero ¿debe eliminar a la universidad que todavía existe, con su gobierno autonómico y su tradición de autorregulación, para hacerla renacer? La pregunta no es sólo retórica, hay valores cruciales en tensión, críticas fundadas, resistencias al cambio, y disputas por el control del nuevo territorio. El presente texto se propone ofrecer al lector más un mapa de problemas que un ensayo analítico del tema. No obstante, se pretende también reflexionar sobre la dirección de los cambios y acerca de sus posibles implicaciones y consecuencias.

Entre Lo Público Y Lo Privado. La Polémica De Las Universidades Patito En 2003, Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Este capítulo se concentra en el debate sobre las necesidades de regulación del conjunto de instituciones de educación superior privadas orientadas a satisfacer la demanda no atendida por universidades públicas o privadas de élite. Inicia con un apartado de contexto que da cuenta de la expansión del segmento privado universitario, así como de las negociaciones entre la autoridad educativa y los representantes de las universidades privadas para desregular el sector. En la segunda parte se describen los términos de la polémica indicada durante el año 2003.

Crisis Management In The Eastern Mediterranean: Implications For Policymakers, Neophytos Loizides
Neophytos Loizides
Crisis Management in the Eastern Mediterranean (Implications for Policymakers) Neophytos G. Loizides* RÉSUMÉ Cet article examine le comportement de la Grèce et de la Turquie pendant les périodes de crise dans la Méditerranée Orientale durant les dernières deux décennies. Les crises sont définies et classifiées, et un nombre de fausses perceptions sont examinées à la lumière des expériences récentes. Trois larges catégories de crises de la politique étrangère sont analysées: Celles impliquant des minorités qui ont des liens ethniques à travers les frontières, celles avec des minorités « étrangères » à l’intérieur des frontières, et celles impliquant des tiers pays …
Modernização E Desenvolvimento Político: Duas Visões Sobre O "Pacote" Democracia/Capitalismo, Paulo S. Peres
Modernização E Desenvolvimento Político: Duas Visões Sobre O "Pacote" Democracia/Capitalismo, Paulo S. Peres
Paulo S. Peres
De modo geral, é possível identificar pelo menos duas visões divergentes a respeito do tipo de impacto que a modernização sócio-econômica causaria no desenvolvimento político. Ambas as visões pertencem a Martin Lipset e Samuel Huntington, dois dos principais formuladores da conjectura do desenvolvimento político. Meu objetivo neste texto é analisar as formulações básicas de cada um desses dois autores a respeito do tema, procurando demarcar pontos de convergência e pontos de distanciamento, assim como discutir a validade dos seus argumentos centrais.

En el texto que sigue se aportan algunos apuntes sobre el impacto que ha tenido la globalización en los actores políticos colectivos que convenimos en llamar movimientos sociales o "redes de movimientos" haciendo un especial énfasis -aunque no exclusivamente- en aquellos que han surgido en América Latina. Para ello, dividimos el texto en tres partes: una primera que presenta algunas referencias sobre el contexto global y su impacto en la política; una segunda donde se desarrollan diversos ángulos -coincidentes con las diversas perspectivas analíticas- desde donde interpretar los movimientos sociales (observados desde una perspectiva amplia y difusa) en el nuevo …

Export Credit Agencies And Climate Change: What Can They Do About It?, Marcus Schaper
Marcus Schaper
Among the chief contributors to the anthropogenic causes of global climate change are carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Though the sources of these emissions are clearly identified, global carbon dioxide output from energy generation is still on the rise. Many industrialized countries have achieved a slow down in the increase of their emissions or even a reduction. However, emissions in developing countries are on the rise. A key challenge is to create incentives to turn around the trend of ever increasing emissions in the countries that are not obliged to reductions under the Kyoto protocol. …

Health As Foreign Policy: A U.S.-German Dialogue On Governance And Global Health., Marcus Schaper
Marcus Schaper
Health has become an issue with significant implications for economies, trade, and security in today’s globalized world. Epidemics like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) carry an impact far beyond the epicenters of the disease. The spread of HIV-AIDS leads to fundamental changes in social cohesion and state structures with far reaching international consequences. Bioterrorism with its potential for rapid pandemic poses a threat to many countries of the world. In a globalized world, health has developed into an issue of soft power. It has become part of deliberations on foreign policy and of the development of civil society and democracy. …
Risky Sexual Behaviour And Incentives: The Impact Of New Therapies On Hiv Prevention, Stéphane Mechoulan, Pierre-Yves Geoffard
Risky Sexual Behaviour And Incentives: The Impact Of New Therapies On Hiv Prevention, Stéphane Mechoulan, Pierre-Yves Geoffard
Stéphane Mechoulan
This article studies the interaction between two individual decisions in the con- text of sexually transmitted diseases: on the one hand, the choice of risk level, on the other hand, the decision to get tested. Our angle here is economic epidemio- logy, which aims at identifying the essential arbitrages that involve private deci- sions. Since testing opens access to treatments fora disease, it reduces the private cost of risk taking, all the more so when available treatments are more efficacious. From this, it stems that improvements in treatments can spuran increase in the risk level, by diminishing the cost associated …
Law Serials Pricing And Mergers: A Portfolio Approach, Mark J. Mccabe
Law Serials Pricing And Mergers: A Portfolio Approach, Mark J. Mccabe
Mark J McCabe
Using data from more than 400 legal serials, I estimate the impact of six publisher mergers on law serial prices during the period, 1990-2000. The results suggest that merger-related price increases were substantial during this period, even after accounting for secular price trends. Furthermore, these merger effects occurred across a broadly-defined portfolio of serial titles consisting of legal encyclopedias and treatises. For other types of serials, such as newsletters and looseleaf services, these effects were not observed. Based on the portfolio demand behavior of buyers, I offer an explanation for this result based on the degree of product differentiation at …
