Being True To What We Profess: Management Education And Inquiry - A Black British Perspective, Gloria Gordon Phd
Gloria Gordon PhD
The term ‘towards bicultural competence’ in the title of my doctoral thesis: Towards Bicultural Competence: Researching for Personal and Professional Transformations refers to my desire to become competent in negotiating the two cultures (British and African Caribbean) of my dual heritage. The lack of competence which is implied in the title has been a major problem in my personal and professional life and was therefore an important insight thrown up by my research efforts.
Positional Elites In Politics, Economy And Culture In Slovenia During 1988-95, Anton Kramberger
Positional Elites In Politics, Economy And Culture In Slovenia During 1988-95, Anton Kramberger
Anton Kramberger
The paper numerically describes the nature and environment of a peaceful regime and elite change in Slovenia during 1988 - 1995. In 1991 the country (formerly a far west region of the Tito's Yugoslavia) became a new independent state and was soon internationally recognized. The paper starts with brief theoretical expectations. Then it outlines a special initial effort in this kind of research, i.e., the elite sample design: How the elites segments as well as their elite positions in Slovenia were defined in advance for the purposes of a special survey performed among national elite members during 1994/95. Next, it …

La Violencia Y Sus Actores. Una Historia Local., Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
El período de la Violencia (1948-1963) es uno de los más complejos y convulsionados de la historia colombiana. En este trabajo hacemos un análisis local del municipio de Cajamarca (Tolima), uno de los más afectados por los homicidios selectivos y las masacres, que en un principio estuvieron mediados por la confrontación entre liberales y conservadores, pero que después se imbricaron con temas diversos como el ataque a comunidades protestantes, negocios por tierras y ajustes de cuentas personales.

The Emergence Of Taiwanese Nationalism: A Preliminary Work On An Approach To Interactive Episodic Discourse, Weider Shu
The Emergence Of Taiwanese Nationalism: A Preliminary Work On An Approach To Interactive Episodic Discourse, Weider Shu
Weider Shu
Examines the emergence of separatist nationalism in Taiwan, suggesting an alternative explanatory model. Taiwan's modern history is traced, focusing on the dominant ideologies imposed by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), counterideologies advocated by opposition forces, the dynamic relationships between state & opposition forces, rise of democracy, & appearance of a more moderate version of nationalism. The advantages & shortcoming of separatist nationalism theories of primordialism, internal colonialism, & constructionism are described, & a more consistent framework focusing on interactive episodic discourse is introduced. This approach sees the "making of nation" as a "crafting identity" process shaped by socioeconomic & political …

Recompas Y Recontras. Un Análisis De La Violencia Política En La Nicaragua Posrevolucionaria., Salvador Marti I Puig
Salvador Marti i Puig
Las promesas hechas a los combatientes nicaragüenses desmovilizados una vez acordada la pacificación, no se materializaron pese a que era un aspecto esencial del proceso democratizador. Y fue lo que activó el surgimiento de recontras y recompas, ya no como grupos políticos armados sino como contingentes de desesperados. Se puso así de manifiesto la irresponsabilidad política y moral de las élites del país. Sólo la unión de las víctimas y desprotegidos podrá moderar los efectos de las políticas en curso, regresivas pese a la retórica democrática.
Domestic Partnership And Same-Sex Relationships: A Marketplace Innovation And A Less Than Perfect Institutional Choice, Nancy J. Knauer
Domestic Partnership And Same-Sex Relationships: A Marketplace Innovation And A Less Than Perfect Institutional Choice, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
The struggle for the recognition and protection of same-sex relationships is at the forefront of the contemporary gay and lesbian civil rights agenda. Whereas the push for same-sex marriage and parenting rights has met with mixed results in the courts and the legislatures, an impressive array of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, colleges, nonprofit corporations, and municipalities, now extend benefits to the same-sex partners of their employees. This level of success raises a provocative question regarding the potential role of institutional employers in the larger on the agenda for progressive social change. Domestic partnership benefits are a creature of the …
Black's Theory On The Behavior Of Law Revisited Iii: Law As More Or Less Governmental Social Control, Kam C. Wong
Black's Theory On The Behavior Of Law Revisited Iii: Law As More Or Less Governmental Social Control, Kam C. Wong
Kam C. Wong
In 1976 Donald Black introduced a scientific social theory on The Behavior of Law. Black defines law as “governmental social control.” In 1997, Wong restated Black’s concept of law as “more or less governmental social conrol.” Law as more or less governmental social control exists when the government endorses private social control activities or otherwise delegates social control powers to private parties. This research used Wong’s restatement of Black’s concept of law to investigate the law enforcement role and functions of the Strike Committee during the Canton-Hong Kong strike (1925-1926). It found that during the Canton-Hong Kong strike the KMT …

Multiparameter flow cytometry studies were performed on cells from the primary tumors of 94 patients with breast cancer. Correlated cellular measurements of cell DNA content, Her-2/neu, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and p21ras levels were performed on each of 5,000 to 100,000 cells from each tumor. When criteria for positivity were matched with those in common use for immunohistochemical studies, 28 of 94 (30\%) breast cancers were classified as positive for Her-2/neu overexpression. When similar criteria were applied to the EGFR measurements, 23 of 94 (24\%) cases were classified as positive for EGFR overexpression. Similarly, 23 of 94 (24\%) cases …
