Cyberspace: The Final Frontier?, Patrick Flanagan
Cyberspace: The Final Frontier?, Patrick Flanagan
Patrick Flanagan
The science fiction series of the '70's, Star Trek, began all its telecastings with the announcement "Space: The Final Frontier." Star Trek chronicled the voyage of a crew navigating their way through space. For the travelers, space seemed like the last unknown entity that needed to be investigated. As they journeyed, they learned of the boundless nature of space. Each episode portrayed a group of folks encountering new situations, attempting to solve another problem, or strategizing how to overcome an obstacle. While few people will ever have a chance to travel in a spaceship to discover the universe, most have …

Revegetating Desert Plant Communities, David A. Bainbridge
Revegetating Desert Plant Communities, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Desert revegetation is possible but not easy. Careful attention to plant production (root:shoot), site prep, planting, irrigation and aftercare can lead to good survival even under extreme desert conditions. Cost per survivor is a critical consideration.
Soil Pitting For Revegetation, David A. Bainbridge
Soil Pitting For Revegetation, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Soil pitting provides many benefits in ecological restoration of degraded lands. The pits capture rainwater, trap seeds and soil symbionts and protect seedlings from windblast.
Project Appraisal For The Keynesian Investment Planner, Greg Hill
Project Appraisal For The Keynesian Investment Planner, Greg Hill
Greg Hill
This paper outlines a theory of project appraisal wherein the neoclassical premises of conventional cost-benefit analysis are replaced by their Keynesian counterparts. The paper shows how the social rate of return on investment, the private and social rates of discount, and other concepts used in cost-benefit analysis may be modified to take account of the income externalities generated by the multiplier, mark-up pricing, and the causal priority of investment over saving.
Ranking Serials In Ocenography: An Analysis Based On The Indian Contributions And Their Citations, Tapaswi M. P, Maheswarappa B. S
Ranking Serials In Ocenography: An Analysis Based On The Indian Contributions And Their Citations, Tapaswi M. P, Maheswarappa B. S
Prof B S Maheswarappa
An analysis of serials preferred and cited in various communications by the Indian oceanographers during 1963 to 1992 is presented. A shift in preference of serials from general sciences to oceanography (interdisciplinary) and to core subject in oceanography is noticed. The contributions to Indian serials showed a decrease. The implications of this trend are discussed. The rank list of serials cited by Indian oceanographers was correlated with the rank list of serials cited at international level. A negative correlation with a marginal difference of-0.214 is observed between these two rank lists. This difference is attributed to studies from different geographical …
The Tarlqat Al- 'Alawiyyah And The Emergence Of The Shi'i School In Indonesia And Malaysia, Syed Farid Alatas
The Tarlqat Al- 'Alawiyyah And The Emergence Of The Shi'i School In Indonesia And Malaysia, Syed Farid Alatas
farid alatas
The recent emergence and current development of the Imami Shi'i school in Indonesia and Malaysia can only be understood against the backdrop of the early history of the Si 'ah, as well as that of the history of the Islamization of the Malay-Indonesian tor that binds these three historical processes together in a remarkable case of "conversion" within Islam is the 'olawiyyali sufi order (al-tariqah Archipelago. The common fac-al- 'alawiyyah). The tariqah al- 'alawiyyah is the path of the Siidat Bani 'alawiyyah. The Siidah al- 'alawiyyah (sing. sayyid), of the Shafi'i madhab (school of jurisprudence), originate from the Hadramawt, Yemen …

Las Comisiones Y La Pirámide: La Recentralización Conflictiva Del Poder En El Ife, Andreas Schedler
Las Comisiones Y La Pirámide: La Recentralización Conflictiva Del Poder En El Ife, Andreas Schedler
Andreas Schedler
Mexico’s Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) suffers from a dualistic and ambiguous internal structure. On the one hand, the electoral codes confers considerable powers to the Institute’s administrative organs. On the other hand, it endows the General Council, IFE’s superior body of governance and oversight, with legal responsibilities so fundamental, comprehensive, and open that they tend to subvert administrative autonomy. According to the institutionalist interpretation offered in the present essay (on the basis of a series of open-ended interviews with leading representatives of the Institute), the General Council tries to resolve these structural contradictions to its benefit by recentralizing decision-making power. …
Mental Health Parity: National And State Perspectives 1999, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard Coe
Mental Health Parity: National And State Perspectives 1999, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard Coe
Ardis Hanson
Mental health parity legislation could substantially reduce the degree to which financial responsibility for the treatment of mental illness is shifted to government, especially state and local government. There is substantial evidence that both mental health and addictions treatment is effective in reducing the utilization and costs of medical services. There appears to be a lack of substantial evidence to discourage Florida from pursuing mental health and substance abuse parity legislation.
Mental Health Parity Issue Briefs, Ardis Hanson
Mental Health Parity Issue Briefs, Ardis Hanson
Ardis Hanson
Six issue briefs summarize the key issues facing the state of Florida in 1999 in the development of mental health parity legislation. The briefs outline the basic issues, potential benefits, and experiences of other states that have developed and/or implemented parity legislation covering behavioral health services, including mental health, alcohol, and/or substance abuse services. In addition, the briefs contain a discussion of the important issues of how managed care and insurance benefit design potentially impact the costs of establishing parity. The six briefs are provided as one pdf document. The document is 6 pages long. Pages include: "Highlights of Recent …

The Limits Of Cultural Pluralism: An Israeli Perspective, Raphael Cohen-Almagor
The Limits Of Cultural Pluralism: An Israeli Perspective, Raphael Cohen-Almagor
raphael cohen-almagor
The primary aims of this paper are (a) to examine the importance of cultural norms and what part they play in requiring us to tolerate others out of respect, and (b) to formulate some guidelines designed to prescribe boundaries to liberty and tolerance conducive to safeguard the rights of individuals and, in turn, democracy. I argue that a liberal democracy can interfere in the business of its sub-cultures when some cultural norms subvert the basic principles upon which a liberal society is founded. Here I address, inter alia, the issues of female circumcision, murder for family honour, and blood feuds. …
Why The Japanese Taxpayer Always Loses, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer
Why The Japanese Taxpayer Always Loses, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
The tax office wins most cases in Japan. We think about why this might be. We find that although judges who rule in favor of the taxpayer do not suffer in their future careers, if the loser-- whether governemnt or taxpayer-- appeals and wins, the reversed judge's career does take a turn for the worse. This implies that the government cares more about accurate judging than about pro-government judging.

La Universidad Latinoamericana En La Encrucijada Del Siglo Xxi, Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Con el propósito de discernir las tendencias de cambio en los sistemas de educación superior de la región latinoamericana, en este trabajo se pasa revista a las principales dinámicas de cambio que se han derivado de las relaciones entre los modelos de desarrollo económico, las modalidades de régimen político y las propuestas de reforma de la enseñanza superior. La revisión comprende las décadas de los años ochenta y noventa del siglo XX, y, a manera de comentario final, se proponen algunos retos que, a juicio del autor, se perfilan en el panorama de las instituciones y de los sistemas nacionales …

Las políticas de la educación superior en México y el género son, desde luego, un tema complejo, que ofrece varias y diversas posibilidades de aproximación, entre otras: ¿cuáles han sido las líneas de política pública en el ámbito de la educación superior proyectadas desde un enfoque de género?, ¿cuáles son los efectos de las políticas educativas gubernamentales sobre las oportunidades de acceso y promoción en la enseñanza superior?, ¿de qué manera se intersectan las políticas específicas que están orientando cambios en la educación superior con las formas de desigualdad de género prevalecientes?, ¿hasta qué punto podemos discernir analíticamente las dinámicas …

Domestic Violence And The Law: An Impassioned Exploration For Family Peace, Sarah M. Buel
Domestic Violence And The Law: An Impassioned Exploration For Family Peace, Sarah M. Buel
SARAH M BUEL
In thinking about the family law practitioner's response to domestic violence issues over the past few decades, it is heartening to note some progress while remaining deeply concerned that many lawyers have yet to embrace even the most basic tenets of victim safety and offender accountability. Domestic violence impacts most lawyers and judges; however, those in the field of family law are positioned to dramatically improve the lives of all parties, if they have learned how to intervene effectively. The continuing violence indicates that we must examine the larger issues: namely, the social, cultural and economic conditions that will facilitate …

Critical Of Race Theory: Race, Reason, Merit And Civility, Nancy Levit
Critical Of Race Theory: Race, Reason, Merit And Civility, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
A hazard lurks in any but the most careful representation of another's viewpoint. Call it "slippage" or the "essentialist error," the point is that communication rarely does complete justice to its object. The problem is compounded when the communication is mediated. We all know that between a story and its retelling, something will get lost in translation. Consider feminism, gay legal theory, and critical race theory, and their depictions in academic journals and the popular media. Newspapers and news magazines have recently published a spate of academic trash talk accusing critical race theorists of "playing the race card" and indulging …
