Porous Capsule Irrigation, David A. Bainbridge

David A Bainbridge

Porous capsule irrigation is a modern adaptation of buried clay pot irrigation. Research in Brazil and Mexico has demonstrated its value in improving water use efficiency. Porous capsules are more easily integrated in an irrigation network than buried clay pots.

Compliance Audit Of Anti-Corruption Regulations: A Case Study From Carpatistan Customs, Bryane Michael

Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)

The principles and findings from internal government audits (aimed at generating recommendations to improve compliance with anti-corruption regulations) can greatly contribute to the wider anti-corruption literature. Internal audit techniques can overcome the weaknesses of the four predominant approaches to evaluating anti-corruption regulatory performance – the systems design approach, the ad-hoc controls studies approach, the descriptive legal analysis approach and the prescriptive manuals and handbooks approach. This paper discusses a compliance audit of anti-corruption regulations in an anti-corruption audit conducted in 2009. The audit findings and recommendations illustrate the ways that models and previous research in the social sciences can be …

Nasal Variability And Speech Style: An Epg Study Of Word-Final Nasals In Two Spanish Dialects, Laura Colantoni, Alexei Kochetov

Alexei Kochetov

Nasal consonants are notoriously prone to variation caused by various phonetic and sociolinguistic factors. A study of nasal variability in Spanish is of particular interest, as Spanish dialects neutralize their three-way nasal place contrast in coda position to either alveolar or velar nasals. For example, in Peninsular and Argentine Spanish final nasals are realized as alveolar, while in Caribbean varieties as velar. A number of sociolinguistic studies have concentrated on nasal variability in velarizing dialects. However, cross-dialectal comparisons have mostly relied on auditory-based transcriptions of sociolinguistic interviews, and articulatory investigations of velarizing Caribbean dialects are so far lacking. The goal …

The Five Tool Mediator: Game Theory, Baseball Practices And Southpaw Scouting, Michael N. Widener

Michael N. Widener

This article encourages mediators to become inciters and advocates for an outcome that solves problems, irrespective of the amount in controversy and the initial “gap” between offers and counteroffers of settlement. This is not a “how to” article discussing facilitators’ tasks in settlement negotiations; instead, the reader should focus more on the mediator’s role in the process, advancing the value proposition in negotiations. The initial phase in reordering the thoughts of the mediator is to understand the binary-oppositions thought tendencies of the parties and their legal representatives; likely, all have attitudes that require retooling. This article does not propose that …

Including Social Goals In Achievement Motivation Research: Examples From The Philippines, Ronnel B. King, Dennis M. Mcinerney

Ronnel B King

Traditional theories of achievement motivation such as achievement goal theory mostly neglected its more social aspects. This paper focuses on social goal as a key construct and argues for the need to include social goals in the research agenda. This is especially important when conducting research among collectivist societies where the interdependent self-construal is more salient. Examples of social goal research done within one collectivist culture, the Philippines, are provided. Overall, social goal research in the Philippines supports the inclusion of social goals when examining students’ motivational dynamics.

Whither Turkish Capitalism?, Bryane Michael

Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)

Turkish families will likely cede their controlling interests in Turkey’s dominant holding companies in the upcoming decades as Wall Street clamours for a greater share of developing world profits and families enjoy the fruits of their oligopolistic labours.

Beyond The Language-Content Divide: A Review Of Research On Advanced Foreign Language Teaching And Learning, Kate Paesani, Heather W. Allen

Heather Willis Allen

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of research into advanced-level FL teaching and learning in collegiate contexts with a particular focus on the merging of language and literary-cultural content. The overarching question that frames the review is: What is the relationship between language, literature, and culture and how are they instantiated through FL curricula and instruction at the advanced level? As such, we address language and literary-cultural content in advanced FL teaching and learning from the perspective of three trends evidenced in published research. First, we explore how literature and culture are conceptualized and what their …

Do Inventories Have An Impact On Price Transmission? Evidence From The Canadian Chicken Industry, Abdessalem Abbassi, Lota Tamini D., Jean-Philippe Gervais

abdessalem abbassi

This paper investigates the influence of inventories in explaining the magnitude of price transmission. Using data from the Canadian chicken industry, a flexible non-linear inference framework detects significant non-linearities in the relationship between farm and wholesale prices. An empirical model is proposed to estimate a price transmission elasticity and a target inventory equation in the spirit of linear-quadratic inventory models in the macroeconomics literature. A generalized method of moments estimator measures the impact of inventories on price transmission and accounts for the potential correlation between sales and wholesale prices. The price transmission elasticity is lower (higher) when inventories are above …

Predatory Pricing, Aaron S. Edlin

Aaron Edlin

Judge Breyer famously worried that aggressive prohibitions of predatory pricing throw away a bird in hand (low prices during the alleged predatory period) for a speculative bird in the bush (preventing higher prices thereafter). Here, I argue that there is no bird in hand because entry cannot be presumed. Moreover, it is plausibly commonplace that low prices or the threat of low prices produce anticompetitive results by reducing entry, inducing exit, and keeping prices high. I analyze three potential standards for identifying predatory pricing. Two are traditional but have been tangled together and must be distinguished. First, a price-cost test …

The Exclusion Of Black Women From National Leadership Positions In The United States: Taxation With Limited Representation, Amadu Jacky Kaba

Amadu Jacky Kaba

This article claims that the United States is progressing well when examined through the racial and cultural diversity of its young people aged 29 and younger with earned doctorates. The data show that females in general and Asian and Black females in particular are earning very high proportions of doctorate degrees among individuals aged 29 and younger in 2009 and 2008. For example, of the 117,000 doctorate degrees (Ph.D., Ed.D., etc.) held by individuals in the US aged 25 - 29 in 2009, females accounted for 65,000 (55.6%), with Black females and Asian females accounting for 11.1% (13,000) and 10.3% …

Mightier Than The Sword: Social Science And Development In Countering Violent Extremism, Daniel P. Aldrich

Daniel P Aldrich

Countering terrorism through social science-based development assistance is a new policy model that moves beyond traditional methods based on the application of military force, public diplomacy, pressure to democratize, or broad-based poverty alleviation. The core elements of this framework for countering violent extremism (CVE) involve 1) pushing U.S. military responses “downstream” and using them sparingly, 2) reducing marginalization of peripheral communities and encouraging re-integration, 3) providing locally based counter-narratives to those of violent extremist organizations, and 4) increasing the legitimacy and capacity of partner governments.
