To Share Or Not To Share: Cancer And What Teachers Should Tell Students About It, Robert A. Eckhart
To Share Or Not To Share: Cancer And What Teachers Should Tell Students About It, Robert A. Eckhart
Robert A. Eckhart
How much personal information to disclose to students is a fundamental question teachers have been asking themselves for decades. How much should teachers tell their students – a lot or a little? How should they tell them –in class, or face-to-face? Should the teacher only tell their students in a limited manner and then not answer questions, or should they be prepared to answer any and all questions the students might have? These are difficult questions, but if the teacher approaches the disclosure in the right way – avoiding irrelevant, overly negative, or offensive disclosures – it can be a …

Marriage And Fertility Dynamics In India, Premchand Dommaraju
Marriage And Fertility Dynamics In India, Premchand Dommaraju
Premchand Dommaraju
It is widely acknowledged that age at marriage has a significant influence on fertility, particularly in countries where childbearing occurs within marriage. However, the complexities of this relationship are poorly understood, especially during fertility transitions. This paper investigates the complex relationship between marriage and fertility by examining marriage age, marital fertility and birth interval dynamics in India using data collected in nationally representative surveys in 1992-3 and 2005-6. Much of the decline in fertility during this period is due to changes in marital fertility, while changes in marriage age had a limited role. In the case of first birth interval, …
Workers’ View Of The Impact Of Trade On Jobs, Clair Brown, Julia Ingrid Lane, Time Sturgeon
Workers’ View Of The Impact Of Trade On Jobs, Clair Brown, Julia Ingrid Lane, Time Sturgeon
Julia Ingrid Lane
This paper uses new data to examine how workers’ perceptions of the impact of trade on jobs are related to economic variables representing their career paths, job characteristics, and local labor market conditions. Interestingly, given prior literature, we find that workers’ perceptions do not reflect their job characteristics or the movability of their jobs. Their perceptions of trade impact primarily reflect local labor market conditions (hiring and separation rates) and education. The determinants of workers’ perceptions of trade present a different pattern compared to their perceptions of job security.
Testing The Equilibrium Exchange Rate Model, Sergio Da Silva, Guilherme Moura
Testing The Equilibrium Exchange Rate Model, Sergio Da Silva, Guilherme Moura
Sergio Da Silva
We find favorable evidence for the textbook equilibrium exchange rate model of Stockman using Blanchard and Quah’s decomposition. Real shocks are shown to account for more than 90 percent of movements in the real exchange rate between Brazil and the United States of America, and for more than half of the nominal exchange rate changes. Impulse response functions also suggest that real shocks alter these countries’ relative prices.

Interlinked Factor Markets And Allocative Efficiency: A Case Study In Rural West Bengal, India, Dr. Arindam Laha, Dr.Pravat Kumar Kuri
Interlinked Factor Markets And Allocative Efficiency: A Case Study In Rural West Bengal, India, Dr. Arindam Laha, Dr.Pravat Kumar Kuri
Dr. Arindam Laha
The issue of the implication of interlinkage of factor markets on the allocative efficiency level of the farm households deserves a special attention in the light of the controversy among two distinct schools of thought: the Neoclassical and the Marxist. An attempt has been made in the paper to measure allocative and cost efficiencies of the interlinked holding vis-à-vis a comparable group of non-interlinked holding in the framework of Data Envelopment Analysis. Empirical evidence establishes the Neo-Classical proposition that interlinked factor markets can be considered as one of the “efficiency improving institutional change” in rural agrarian economy.

Dark Tourism: Towards A New Post-Disciplinary Research Agenda, Philip Stone Dr
Dark Tourism: Towards A New Post-Disciplinary Research Agenda, Philip Stone Dr
Dr Philip Stone
Abstract: Over the past decade or so, dark tourism research –that is, the social scientific study of tourism and tourists associated with sites of death, disaster or the seemingly macabre – has witnessed a burgeoning of the literature base. Much of this research has a profundity that can and, undoubtedly, will contribute to broader social theories and to our understanding of culturaldynamics. Arguably, however, some dark tourism research has been characterised by a banality that either illustrates deficient conceptual underpinning or provides for limited disciplinary synthesis. Thus, in order to assuage any structural deficiencies in dark tourism as a coherent …

Worldcat Quality: An Oclc Report, Karen S. Calhoun, Glenn Patton
Karen S Calhoun
This report describes OCLC's steps to make it easier to find items in WorldCat and get them from OCLC member libraries. It begins with a review of WorldCat's unprecedented growth since 2008--growth which has challenged OCLC's programs for managing duplicate entries and library location (holdings) information. OCLC's 2010 implementation of new duplication detection and resolution (DDR) software helped; however, WorldCat quality needs to be further strengthened. The authors describe a special project—GLIMIR—and other WorldCat quality improvement projects intended to improve the clustering of WorldCat records and holdings for the same work, thus reducing the complexity of search result displays and …

Fernando Pessoa, Hermenêutica Jurídica E Retórica, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Fernando Pessoa, Hermenêutica Jurídica E Retórica, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Um curioso aspecto do pensamento de Pessoa foi deixado por ele esparso, e o que parece totalmente ao acaso dos investigadores: o Direito. Em política, temos até um auto-retrato bastante completo, e a sucessão de textos que foi escrevendo, em prosa e em verso, facilmente nos permite reconstruir um percurso, a partir das suas bases ideológicas. Mas o que pensaria Pessoa do Direito? Neste caso, o “fingidor” não fingiu, não posou para a sua tão cuidadosamente preparada fama póstuma. Estamos, assim, perante um aspecto da sua vida mental que parece ter escapado à composição para um público (ainda que futuro), …
Constituição E Utopia. E O Exemplo Da Constituição Basileira De 1988, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Constituição E Utopia. E O Exemplo Da Constituição Basileira De 1988, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
As Constituições são por vezes acusadas de serem “utópicas”. Nem sabem os que assim as apodam de como estão quase certos, mas por contrárias razões às que pensam avançar. Utopia não é quimera, não é algo impossível e inatingível. Utopia é o mito da cidade ideal. Entretanto, se essas cidades ideais, na literatura, frequentemente se volvem em infernos concentracionários (distópico) a verdade é que nas Constituições (e especialmente nas constituições cidadãs, como a Portuguesa de 1976 e a Brasileira de 1988 , entre muitas outras já) há um sopro renovador do princípio esperança, vizinho da utopia: utopista. O utopismo é …
Desafios Constitucionais, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Desafios Constitucionais, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Há tentativas de fazer recuar as Constituições, de as “rever e romper”. Foi um sonho desde sempre acalentado pelos inimigos e falsos amigos das constituições modernas, sociais, democráticas, culturais, humanísticas, mas que hoje encontra terreno mais propício. Porque as forças sociais, as “pedras vivas”, estão mais vulneráveis. E os “Homens Livres” menos unidos e interventivos, pelo menos por agora. E a crise gera o medo, e o medo a vã esperança em mudanças radicais, que seriam afinal para pior. É assim que se vão incubando as ditaduras. Tal ocorre sobretudo nos países que, dominados por crises económicas e financeiras, se …

Universidade: Um Manifesto Pelo Sonho, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Por muito vilipendiado que seja, e é-o praticamente todos os dias por sociedades que recusam ser educadas e se comprazem na sua má-educação e incultura, além de por políticos impreparados, e mesmo por colegas não solidários, o Professor que o é por vocação está como Lutero: aqui está, aqui fica, não pode fazer de outra maneira. Só este professor por vocação e por sonho ainda faz a Escola valer. Até quando continuará a haver professores destes? E até onde irá a sua inadaptação com as condições em que tem de sobreviver, fazendo um papel que lhe não é reconhecido, tantas …
Concretizar A Constituição, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Concretizar A Constituição, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
O presente artigo pondera observações sobre a Constituição Portuguesa: é ela realmente normativa, ou inefectiva? Impõe-se uma análise das críticas ao statu quo constitucional: dirigem-se elas à Constituição em si ou apenas ao seu deficiente cumprimento? Finalmente, em que medida é que a Constituição, parecendo a alguns impecilho para a resolução da crise, contudo pode ser adjuvante para a sua superação.
Crítica Da Razão Jurídica, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Crítica Da Razão Jurídica, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
A razão jurídica racionalista fez-se abstraccionismo e dogmatismo e tornou-se legalismo. O Direito ficou, em muitos casos, empedernido e injusto. Abrir o Direito aos sentidos e aos sentimentos, na senda, por exemplo, de um Luis Alberto Warat, sendo fascinante e iconoclasta, não é tarefa fácil, se for empresa prudente. Precisamente porque os juristas, mesmo muitos dos mais radicias, se habituaram a certos limites, e mesmo na semiótica dos seus lugares, dos seus modos e vestes reconheceríamos sombras avessas às paixões. As quais podem ser, porém, um vício oposto ao racionalismo. O desafio é reinventar a razão jurídica sem o normativismo …
