In Defense Of Public Languages, Robert J. Stainton

Robert J. Stainton

My modest aim in this note is to sketch three interrelated critiques of public languages, and to respond to them. All allegedly support the same conclusion: that, insofar as they even exist, the study of public languages is not a viable scientific project. (Related critiques of semantics, understood as involving word-world relations, will be touched on as well.)

La (Des)Confianza Ciudadana Hacia Las Elecciones. México Y América Latina En Perspectiva Comparada, Fernando Barrientos Del Monte

Fernando Barrientos Del Monte

En este texto se exploran algunas hipótesis explicativas sobre la relación entre los altos porcentajes de rechazo a los partidos, al lado de percepciones de comicios fraudulentos, y la paradójica contradicción de los (relativamente) altos índices de participación en el caso de México en perspectiva comparada con la región latinoamericana. Las preguntas guía y que se tratará de responder son dos: 1) ¿Cómo explicar la existencia de altos índices de desconfianza hacia los partidos políticos y una percepción casi generalizada de que las elecciones son fraudulentas? y 2) ¿Cómo explicar que no obstante tal desconfianza los niveles de votación sigan …

The Miner’S Canary: A Critical Race Perspective On The Representation Of Black Women Full Professors, Natasha N. Croom, Lori D. Patton Davis

Lori Patton Davis

This article examines experiences of a Black woman full professor, and the benefits and privileges associated with reaching this rank. Its purpose is to leave little room for conjecture about the rank and those who have earned it. Using critical race theory and a critical race feminism framework coupled with the concept of the miner’s canary, we suggest that by examining the experiences of Black women full professors we can gain an understanding of the role of full professors in academe and the systemic issues prohibiting their promotion to the highest rank of the professoriate. We call for disciplined scholarship …

Open Source Israeli Capabilities To Strike Iran, Carter Matherly

Carter Matherly PhD

Lately there has been a considerable amount of debate surrounding Israel striking Iran in a preemptive strike against their nuclear facilities. One very important question not being asked; CAN Israel successfully strike and destroy all of the critical nuclear facilities within Iran? Thus far it is almost viewed as a given fact that Israel can do this. But can Israel pull off such a daring raid?

China’S Tax Policy Response To The Global Financial Crisis, Wei Cui

Wei Cui

VAT reform constituted the most important tax policy action China took during the global financial crisis in 2008-9. If China had had a more typical tax structure, this specific policy instrument (as well as certain others) would not have been available. Conversely, because of the idiosyncrasies of China’s current tax structure, some of the policy measures commonly deployed in other countries also cannot be used. In comparing China and Europe in the tax policies adopted since 2008, therefore, major differences in prior tax structures must be taken into account. There are also two other potential determinants of China’s tax policy. …

Maestros To Multipliers: Exploring The Evolution Of Public Sector Innovation Intermediation And Governance (A Case Study Of Greater Manchester, 2003-2011), Martin Wain

Martin Wain

There has been a trend within the last decade, observable to economic development practitioners, for innovation becoming increasingly integrated into and central to mainstream economic development. To date it can be seen across all areas of economic development, including factors of competitiveness and competitive advantage, to the attraction and retention of talent. Arguably, this extends the policy recommendations and implications of innovation from competitiveness and growth to the perceived dynamicity and attractiveness of a locale to potential inward investors and upwardly mobile entrepreneurs.

This dissertation explores the evolution of innovation policy, through design and implementation, over a nine-year period. The …

Data, Data Use, And Inquiry: A New Point Of View On Data Curation, Jillian C. Wallis, Laura A. Wynholds, Christine L. Borgman, Ashley E. Sands, Sharon Traweek

Christine L. Borgman

Data are proliferating far faster than they can be captured, managed, or stored. What types of data are most likely to be used and reused, by whom, and for what purposes? Answers to these questions will inform information policy and the design of digital libraries.

We report findings from semi-structured interviews and field observations to investigate characteristics of data use and reuse and how those characteristics vary within and between scientific communities. The two communities studied are the researchers at the Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS) and users of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data. We found that …

Mechanisms Of An Occupation-Based Approach For Persons With Chronic Pain And Work Loss., J. Scott, R. Hills, A. Schmidt, J. Stroud, C. Kerr, Lynn Shaw Dr., A. Bossers

Lynn Shaw

Current literature demonstrates a significant investigation of chronic pain. The actual mechanisms that promote adaptation, accommodation, and change, however, are not explicated in the current literature on chronic pain. Our goal was to conduct a mini realist synthesis approach in current literature to identify mechanisms critical to promote return to work (RTW) for persons with chronic pain. Specifically, we sought to identify if the mechanisms of these programs are consistent with an occupation-based approach used in Occupational Therapy (OT).

The Emergence Of A Small World In A Network Of Research Joint Ventures, Stuart Mcdonald

Stuart McDonald

Using a data set spanning the period 1899-2000, we construct a network of RJVs and track the pattern of growth of this network over time. The resulting R&D network is emergent in the sense that RJVs are contained within it, connected to other RJVs by the existence of firms sharing membership with multiple RJVs. This paper shows that the largest growth in the R&D networks occurred during the last three decades of the Twentieth Century. During this growth period, the R&D network has a pattern of collaboration that can be characterised as having the “small world” property. This has implications …
