Cultural Policy In Singapore: Negotiating Economic And Socio-Cultural Agendas, Lily Kong

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

In this paper, I examine the role of cultural policy in a newly industrialised economy, which is at the same time a state with a short history and only nascent beginnings in nation-building and efforts to construct a distinctive cultural identity. Using Singapore as the site of analyses, develop an understanding of the intersection between the economic and socio-cultural agendas behind cultural development policies. I illustrate the hegemony of the economic, supported by the ideology and language of pragmatism and globalisation. At the same time, I explore the reception of and attempts to negotiate (and at times, contest) state policies …

Nectar Robbery And Pollination By Hummingbirds In Relation To Morphological And Physiological Features Of Gesneriaceae, November 2000, Catherine L. Hein

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Many flowers depend on hummingbirds for pollination. However, some hummingbirds are known to rob flowers rather than pollinate them. High robbery rates could decrease pollination reproductive fitness in these plants. Corolla length, bract coverage, nectar volume and sugar concentration, were hypothesized in this study to affect robbery rates. A long corolla, short bract, and high nectar volume and concentration were hypothesized to increase the rate of robbery. Pollination rates were also expected to increase with a high nectar volume and sugar concentration. Data were collected on Alloplectus tetragonus, Besleria formosa, and Drymonia rubra (Gesneriaceae) in the Santa Elena Reserve for …

A Comparison Of Ground-Dwelling Insect Communities In Gaps And Closed Canopy Forest In The Elfin Forest Of Monteverde, Costa Rica, November 2000, Elizabeth Green

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

This experiment compared communities of ground-dwelling insects in gaps and closed canopy forest in the elfin forest of the Estación Biológica Monteverde in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Insects were trapped with pitfall traps in six gaps and adjacent forest areas in October and November 2000. Shannon-Weiner Diversity indices, Margalef species richness indices, evenness (H’ /(In S)), mean abundance per site, and Morisita Similarity indices were compared. Diversity differed only for Coleopterans, which were more diverse in gaps (H’ = 1.201) than in forest (H’ = 0.8387; modified t-test t= 1.979, p < 0.001). The Margalef index of species richness did not vary between paired gap and forest sites for total insects captured, but was significantly higher for Coleopterans in the gaps than in the forest (sign test, a level 0.05). Coleopterans also had greater evenness in gaps than in forest (sign test, a level 0.05). Mean abundances in gap (8.04 +/- 7.669 mean number of insects/trap) and forest (5.09 +/- 3.191 insects/trap) sites were not different. The Morisita Similarity index was 0.4846, with 47.05% of ground-dwelling insect morphospecies shared between gaps and closed forest. Perhaps conditions in gaps and closed canopy areas in this forest are sufficiently different to allow specialization by ground-dwelling insects to one or the other habitat type.

Factors Affecting Academic Performance Of Students In A Private College, Aw Seng Hong

Student Works (2000-2009)

This study investigates the relationships between socio-demographic and behavioral factors and academic performance of students at pre-university level in a private college. The subjects for this study are students pursuing Cambridge 'A' Level and South Australian Matriculation (SAM) courses at the college. The findings of this study show that past academic achievement (SPM aggregate) is the most important factor determining the performance at pre-university level. Those who obtained good SPM results tend to excel at pre-university level. Examination results also vary widely according to the socio-demographic characteristics of the students. Children of highly educated parents tend to perform better in …

Executive Summary: Comparative Evaluation Of The Impact Of Roofing Systems On Residential Cooling Energy Demand In Florida, Florida Solar Energy Center, John Sherwin

FSEC Energy Research Center®

Roof and attic thermal performance exert a powerful influence on cooling energy use in Florida homes. Unshaded residential roofs are heated by solar radiation causing high afternoon attic air temperatures. The large influence on cooling is due to increased ceiling heat transfer as well as heat gains to the duct systems which are typically located in the attic space (Figure E-1). The Florida Power and Light Company and the Florida Solar Energy Center instrumented six side-by-side Habitat homes in Ft. Myers, Florida with identical floor plans and orientation, R-19 ceiling insulation, but with different roofing systems designed to reduce attic …

Transnational Threats: Blending Law Enforcement And Military Strategies, Carolyn Pumphrey Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

On February 2-3, 2000, the U.S. Army War College, the Triangle Institute for Security Studies, and the Duke University Center for Law, Ethics, and National Security co-sponsored a conference in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The conference examined transnational threats, including terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction, cyber threats to the national infrastructure, and international organized crime. The goal was to evaluate the seriousness of such threats and discuss strategies for dealing with them. In particular, the conference sought to address the question of how military and law enforcement could blend their strategies to better counter transnational threats. A secondary purpose …
