Cargo Bikes As A Growth Area For Bicycle Vs. Auto Trips: Exploring The Potential For Mode Substitution Behavior, William W. Riggs
Cargo Bikes As A Growth Area For Bicycle Vs. Auto Trips: Exploring The Potential For Mode Substitution Behavior, William W. Riggs
William W. Riggs
Cargo bikes are increasing in availability in the United States. While a large body of research has continued to investigate traditional bike transportation, cargo bikes offer the potential to capture trips for those that might otherwise be made by car. To investigate this, data from a survey of cargo bike users are evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The survey queried how use and travel dynamics of characteristics with the hypothesis that cargo bike ownership has the potential to contribute to mode substitution behavior. From a descriptive standpoint, 68.9% of those surveyed changed their travel behavior after purchasing a cargo …

China’S Changing Character: Combating Corporeal Corruption, Ian Russell Koh
China’S Changing Character: Combating Corporeal Corruption, Ian Russell Koh
Ian Russell Koh
The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) recent crackdown on corruption has attracted attention for its unprecedented scale and scope. Historical, political, and social changes are broadly responsible for the prevalence of corruption within the body-politic of Chinese society, and this paper seeks to unearth some of the more instrumental reasons undergirding such institutional transformations.
Enforcement, Illegal Appropriation And Innovation, Sougata Poddar, Dyuti Banerjee
Enforcement, Illegal Appropriation And Innovation, Sougata Poddar, Dyuti Banerjee
Sougata Poddar
We analyse how increases in digital piracy shapes the enforcement polices, and their resultant impact on innovation. Though the socially optimal policies always deter piracy, but they cannot prevent the fall in innovation for initial increases in piracy, beyond which, these policies induces innovation to remain at a constant level. In contrast, the government’s innovation maximizing objective results in no enforcement and tolerating piracy up to a critical level as the equilibrium, and innovation falls. Up to this level a trade-off between social welfare and innovation exists, which disappears there after, and the result coincides with the socially optimal …

Why Have Strong Legislative Acts Had Weak Economic Effects?, Douglas W. Mackenzie Ph.D.
Why Have Strong Legislative Acts Had Weak Economic Effects?, Douglas W. Mackenzie Ph.D.
Douglas W MacKenzie Ph.D.
Responses to the 2008 crisis were dramatic. Government officials enacted unprecedented acts of legislation and policies, with the intent of improving economic conditions. While measures taken to improve economic conditions were aggressive, the results of these measures have been disappointing. The aggressive and controversial nature of policy responses to the 2008 Crisis caused high levels of uncertainty about the public policy. There is correlation between levels of “economic policy uncertainty” and hiring of new employees. The statistical correlation between uncertainty and hiring is important in explaining the weak response of economic conditions to policies of the past eight years.

This paper proposes a set of guidelines for physician-assisted suicide (PAS). This set of guidelines integrates pertinent guidelines that were adopted in Oregon, where physician-assisted suicide is legal, in the Netherlands and Belgium where euthanasia is legal, in Switzerland where assisted suicide is practiced, and in the Northern Territory of Australia, where physician-assisted suicide was legal for a short period of time.

At MCLA we have sponsored undergraduate student interns who assist with marketing and outreach for the library. Our interns are responsible for the library’s Tumblr, posting weekly about databases, items from the archives, and apps of interest, the library’s Instagram account, and the library’s Facebook account. In addition, they have created videos and hosted social media contests. We will share some of the projects our interns have worked in and talk about best practices in having student run social media.
Chapter 4 (Draft): John Locke And The Hobbesian Hypothesis: How A Very Similar Colonial Prejudice Found Its Way Into The Natural Rights Justification Of Private Property, Karl Widerquist, Grant Mccall
Chapter 4 (Draft): John Locke And The Hobbesian Hypothesis: How A Very Similar Colonial Prejudice Found Its Way Into The Natural Rights Justification Of Private Property, Karl Widerquist, Grant Mccall
Karl Widerquist
This chapter is a preliminary draft of Chapter 4 of the book, "Prehistoric Myths in Modern Political Philosophy." The role of this chapter is to show that what we call "the Hobbesian Hypothesis" is an essential premise in John Locke's justification of private property. The Hobbesian hypothesis, in this context, is the claim that everyone is better off in a society with private land and resource ownership (even if they own no land or resources) than they could reasonably except to be in a society in which these resources remained unowned and people lived as hunter-gatherers. This chapter does not …

Thinking Like Your Users – Using Data And Personas To Improve Services At Your Library, Amy Vecchione, Deana Brown
Deana Brown
Do you ever get the feeling a service your library offers could be improved? Do you notice users struggle with the same challenges over and over? You might not need more funding to fix it, just a change in perspective. In this workshop you will acquire real skills and design a persona for your library. Personas are fictional people, but based on data and observations. Using personas will help you make user centered decisions. This workshop will walk participants through the process of creating personas they can apply to specific services their library offers.

The Right Of Free Movement: A Story Of Securitisation And Control In The Uk Or The Story Of Ion Popescu, Konstanitinos Mitropoulos
The Right Of Free Movement: A Story Of Securitisation And Control In The Uk Or The Story Of Ion Popescu, Konstanitinos Mitropoulos
Bahram Kazemian
Recently in Britain there has been an on-going discussion on the right of European citizens to move to, work and reside freely in any European Union member-state. British politicians and media, stepping on the significant number of Eastern Europeans who moved to the United Kingdom, articulated a securitising discourse representing them as ‘benefit tourists’ and criminals who threaten the integrity of the welfare system and social cohesion. However, this is only part of the securitisation story. This paper argues that the securitisation of mobile European citizens and, consequently of the right of free movement itself, is used as governmentality in …

"Understanding Africa Socio-Economic Emergencies In Face Of Rising Foreign Aid And The Structural Political Alternative"., Ibrahim Babatunde Anoba
Ibrahim Babatunde Anoba
The continent of Africa is the most resourcefully blessed with both vast natural and human resources in abundance but the natural advantages have not equitably transformed into development as the continent has suffered socio-economic uncertainties. In the wake of alleviating from the depressing situation, Africa since 1985 has had billions of dollars in development aids and Africa pay over $20 billion dollars annually in servicing. Unfortunately, the billions in aids have not make its socio-economy better in comparison to what it experienced during the 1970s. With political and socio-economic emergencies rampaging in the continent, the potentials of another series of …

The Role Of Error Analysis In Teaching And Learning Of Second And Foreign Language, Agsa Jabeen, Bahram Kazemian, Muhammad Shahbaz Mustafai
Bahram Kazemian
The aim of this paper is to investigate errors made by second and foreign language (L2) learners so as to understand the strategies and techniques used in the process of second and foreign language learning. Error analysis is a very important area of applied linguistics as well as of second and foreign language learning. It is also a systematic method to analyze learners' errors. Errors are not always bad, rather they are crucial parts and aspects in the process of learning a language. They may provide insights into the complicated processes of language development as well as a systematic way …
