Estimating Interregional Price Indexes: Opportunities And Pitfalls, Laura A. Blanciforti
Estimating Interregional Price Indexes: Opportunities And Pitfalls, Laura A. Blanciforti
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
Many economists recognize the importance of accounting for retail price variation when comparing standards of living between geographic areas. Such indexes are used to allocate education funds, for calculating income transfers, and in relocation decisions. Currently, public policy shows a trend toward giving states more control over the distribution of federal monies through block grant programs. However, many states do not have a system for measuring price variations and use the US CPI or an index for a major city within their state to estimate cost of living variation within a state. They do not account for the tastes and …
Interactive Techniques And Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis, Luc Anselin
Interactive Techniques And Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis, Luc Anselin
Regional Research Institute Working Papers
This chapter reviews the ideas behind interactive and exploratory spatial data analysis and their relation to GIS. Three important aspects are considered. First, an overview is presented of the principles behind interactive spatial data analysis, based on insights from the use of dynamic graphics in statistics and their extension to spatial data. This is followed by a review of spatialised exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques, that is, ways in which a spatial representation can be given to standard EDA tools by associating them with particular locations or spatial subsets of the data. The third aspect covers the main ideas behind …

Issues In Essential Obstetric Care, Diana Measham, Virginia Kallianes
Reproductive Health
This report summarizes the proceedings of a meeting on essential obstetric care (EOC) convened by the Population Council on behalf of the Inter-Agency Group for Safe Motherhood (IAG). This technical meeting was held to clarify the definition of EOC, bridge the gap between research and program planning, and stimulate field-level activity. The president of the Population Council closed and summarized the meeting by noting that the IAG is making progress, but that work remains to be done. Progress will begin to occur more rapidly when we are able to prove that lives have been saved and to state definitively that …
The Psychological Status Of Phonological Analyses, David Eddington
The Psychological Status Of Phonological Analyses, David Eddington
Faculty Publications
This paper casts doubt on the psychological relevance of many phonological analyses. There are four reasons for this: 1) theoretical adequacy does not necessarily imply psychological significance; 2) most approaches are nonempirical in that they are not subject to potential spatiotemporal falsification; 3) phonological analyses are established with little or no recourse to the speakers of the language via experimental psychology; 4) the limited base of evidence which most analyses are founded on is further cause for skepticism.
Review Of Kimball Young On Transition Of Sociology, 1912-1968: An Oral Account By The 35th President Of The Asa, Carol Ward
Faculty Publications
According to Kimball Young, "My five quarters at Chicago fixed me for life." This account of Kimball YOung's career begins with his experience at the University of Chicago where he obtained an A.M. in 1918. These early experiences with the founders of the Chicago School had a lasting impact on his career in sociology. Young's memoirs focus on his relationships with his mentors, colleagues and students at Chicago and at the subsequent colleges and universities with which he worked. This oral history offers remarkable insights into the lives of scholars who shaped sociology in the first two-thirds of the century.

Understanding And Coping With Oil Pollution Threats In Bahrain, Hassan Ali Al-Majid
Understanding And Coping With Oil Pollution Threats In Bahrain, Hassan Ali Al-Majid
World Maritime University Dissertations
As the human population increases and industrialization expands and diversifies, the problem of the pollution of the environment becomes more critical. The seas and oceans, which cover over 70 % of the world's surface and offer one of man’s great hopes for future food supplies, are not exempt from the menace of pollution. Pollution problems mount as use of the sea for commerce grows with the ever increasing size and variety of cargo ships and tankers, with the use of the sea-bed for mineral extraction and the threat of oil pollution to the marine environment from deliberate or accidental release. …
Integration Of Marine Environment Protection In The Philippine Maritime Education And Training System, Diana Campoy Factuar
Integration Of Marine Environment Protection In The Philippine Maritime Education And Training System, Diana Campoy Factuar
World Maritime University Dissertations
Marine pollution is just one of those enviromnental problems that the world faces today. However, it has far and wide-reaching impacts on the earth and its population, thus making it one of the most important subjects in global environmental issues. Although pollution of the sea comes from various sources, that which comes from marine transportation is given more attention because of its potential threat to the marine environment. Many of the international regulations relating to marine pollution prevention are the outcome of maritime accidents which have caused extensive oil spills. Legislation has been concerned with new designs, structure and equipment. …

A Recommended Decision Analysis Process For The Wider Caribbean Initiative For Ship Generated Waste (Wcisw), Garth Andrew Lamsee
World Maritime University Dissertations
It may be easier to summarise what this dissertation is not about as a means of assisting the reader in focusing on what this dissertation is all about. It is not a dissertation on environmental concerns and of the need to act in sustainable ways. It is not about ports in the Developing Countries of Wider Caribbean Region (DCWCR) or of their need to secure reception facilities. Nor is this dissertation a subject on the MARPOL 73/78 Convention. However, all of these issues are a part of this dissertation and they have contributed to the refinement of this research effort. …

Proposals For Further Improvement Of Sea Transportation Of Dangerous Cargoes Carried In Freight Containers In China, Cuiming Xu
World Maritime University Dissertations
With the rapid development of foreign trade there has been a high rate of growth in the maritime transportation of dangerous cargoes. The transport by sea of dangerous cargoes incorporates, by nature, a higher risk than the shipment of non-hazardous cargoes. Safety is one of the most important aspects which must be seriously considered by the appointed specialised competent authorities. Therefore, the safe transport by sea of dangerous cargoes is regarded as one of the major objectives by the Maritime Safety Administration. This paper is a study of safe transport by sea of dangerous cargoes in freight containers. It briefly …
A Study For Upgrading The Vessel Traffic Services [Vts] In Korean Coastal Waters, Hyung-Taek Jung
A Study For Upgrading The Vessel Traffic Services [Vts] In Korean Coastal Waters, Hyung-Taek Jung
World Maritime University Dissertations
The rapid growth of marine traffic volume in the Korean waters has created difficulties in navigation, and increased the risk in those areas during the last three decades. In addition to the traffic volume increase, ship’s higher speed tendency and larger size tendency lead to more frequent and bigger casualties occurring in those areas. Various measures have been taken to improve navigation safety in those areas such as, aids to navigation, vessel movement reporting systems, traffic separation schemes, and the radar surveillance systems in some port areas also. However, casualties occurred in those areas has not decreased. They are still …

Making "Music At The Margins"? A Social And Cultural Analysis Of Xinyao In Singapore, Lily Kong
Making "Music At The Margins"? A Social And Cultural Analysis Of Xinyao In Singapore, Lily Kong
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
Formalist critics and aestheticians have argued that music does not possess any kind of "extra-musical" significance, that there is no meaning beyond the form and structural relations of the notes. For them, music exemplifies the laws of mathematical harmony and proportion rather than the social and political contexts within which it is produced, reproduced and consumed. This view has been challenged by a number of social theorists: Max Weber, Theodor Adorno and Edward Said have all argued for an understanding of music within its social, cultural, economic and political contexts. Such analysis of popular music is now unquestioned. Indeed, it …
A Political Process That Worked: Comprehensive Healthcare Reform In Progress, Richard H. Campbell
A Political Process That Worked: Comprehensive Healthcare Reform In Progress, Richard H. Campbell
Maine Policy Review
The final report of the Maine Health Care Reform Commission (MHCRC) was submitted to Governor Angus King in November, 1995. Given the complexity of what we call the healthcare system as well as the moving targets of federal and state incentives for reform, the report accomplished a great deal in a short period of time. Commission members were "mandated to offer a single payer universal coverage bill, a multiple payer universal coverage bill, and a bill to achieve reform through incremental changes to the existing system, emphasizing cost containment, managed care, and improved access. The commission was also mandated to …

Options For Managing Maine’S Fisheries: Fisheries Management From An Ecological Perspective, James A. Wilson
Options For Managing Maine’S Fisheries: Fisheries Management From An Ecological Perspective, James A. Wilson
Maine Policy Review
Jim Wilson counters the concerns raised by Ralph Townsend [this issue].The current policy course set by Marine Resources Commissioner Robin Alden is based on an approach to fisheries management which redefines the sustainability problem as an ecosystem problem. Wilson argues that, within this new paradigm, questions such as “how, when, and where” to fish (or not fish) are much more central than species-specific quota setting. These questions not only change the rules under which co-management is implemented but also may improve fisheries management in ways that quota systems have failed, that is the long term conservation of species and habitats.
