袁枚《隨園女弟子詩選》重要詩人及其作品研究, Nating Yang

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

有清一代，女性作家大量湧現。「隨園女弟子」為清代乾隆（愛新覺 羅弘曆，1711－1799；在位時期1736－1795）嘉慶（愛新覺羅顒琰，1760－ 1820；在位時期1796－1820）年間活躍於中國南方一帶的女詩人集團，她們是 清代著名學者袁枚（自號隨園）的學生，授業於袁枚。觀其作品可以考察其師承 關係。袁枚於嘉慶元年刊行之《隨園女弟子詩選》為其選輯女弟子之詩集，當中 透露其選詩的特色。同時，隨園女弟子雖身處閨閣，兼具名士氣質，在其作品中 展現出不可小覷的活動力和藝術生命力。研究這課題亦能展示清代乾嘉時期上層 女性日常及文學生活的面貌。

文人武俠 : 張徹與胡金銓, Lan Xu

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

武俠電影在中國電影誕生之初便佔有一席之地， 二十世紀六十年代，由邵 氏電影公司開創的武俠新世紀，給武俠電影注入了新的活力，打開了新的局面。

胡金銓追求製作精良、藝術至上的優質電影。而張徹作品中的務實、娛樂大眾、堅韌求生和香港起飛的每一個時代的精神相吻合。後世香港導演繼承他們的優良特質，充滿活力動感的香港電影時至今日方成為對世界影壇的一大特殊貢獻。

本文立足 "文人武俠"，分別探討張徹、胡金銓武俠片的個人特色、思想內容、藝術表現手法，特別是中國人文傳統、文學藝術在其作品中的表現，並比較他們之間的異同， 以及各自對香港電影發展的貢獻。

Evaluating Bundled Discounts, Thom Lambert

Faculty Publications

This article identifies and critiques five attempts courts and commentators have made at articulating such an evaluative approach and, finding each approach lacking, proposes an alternative evaluative approach. The proposed approach would presume the legality of above-cost bundled discounts but would permit that presumption to be rebutted by a plaintiff that proved certain facts demonstrating that it had fully exhausted its competitive options and was, or was likely to become, as efficient as the discounter. The recommended approach would be easily administrable and would include clear safe harbors to ensure that procompetitive bundled discounting is not discouraged.

Job Demands And Job Search Among High-Level Managers In The United States And Europe, John B. Bingham, Wendy R. Boswell, John W. Boudreau

Faculty Publications

High-level managers are often faced with challenging demands at work, and much of the managerial development literature has researched the responses to these challenges. The authors propose an extension to this research by investigating the influence of challenge-related and obstacle- related job demands on job search among a sample of U.S. managers and a sample of international managers. Specifically, the authors propose divergent relationships among job search and the type of job demands managers experience, and we also explore the mediating effect of job satisfaction. The authors’ study provides further insight into the complexities of managerial responsibilities and their behavioral …

Rien Ne Va Plus? Distinguishing Domestic Regulation From Market Access In Gatt And Gats, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn

Faculty Scholarship

Depending on how one classifies market intervention, trade liberalization disciplines can be lenient or strict. Perhaps the most important distinction in this respect is that between government intervention labeled as a "market access restriction" and that defined as "domestic regulation." Both the GATT and the GATS declare market access restrictions (such as import quotas or limitations on the number of service suppliers) to be, in principle, prohibited. In contrast, domestic regulations (such as internal taxes, health standards, and safety requirements) are treated with much more deference. They are, in essence, only prohibited when discriminatory or more trade restrictive than necessary. …

Synthesis Of Ternary Quantum Logic Circuits By Decomposition, Marek Perkowski

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Recent research in multi-valued logic for quantum computing has shown practical advantages for scaling up a quantum computer. [1,12] Multivalued quantum systems have also been used in the framework of quantum cryptography, [4] and the concept of a qudit cluster state has been proposed by generalizing the qubit cluster state. [5] An evolutionary algorithm based synthesizer for ternary quantum circuits has recently been presented, [2] as well as a synthesis method based on matrix factorization [3].In this paper, a recursive synthesis method for ternary quantum circuits based on the Cosine-Sine unitary matrix decomposition is presented.

Student Performance In Upper - Division Business Core Courses : Using Control Variables To Determine The Effect Of Class Size, Donna A. Driscoll, Paul J. Lazarony, Janna Arney, Earl J. Weiss

Management Faculty Publications

Although the effect of class size upon student performance has been the focus of numerous studies, the results have been extremely mixed, including positive effects, no effects, and negative effects. The authors of this study believe that this lack of consensus could be due, at least in part, to the shortage of control variables employed in previous studies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of four control variables (course being taught, length of class period, instructor, and student ability level) to the analysis would be helpful in isolating the effect, if any, of class size …

Divination Bowls And Blood Simulacra In Colonial And Contemporary Mesoamerican Curing, Servando Z. Hinojosa

Anthropology Faculty Publications

This study discusses 17th century Nahua practices of water divination in light of contemporary types of bowl divination practiced by Kaqchikel Mayas of Guatemala. The author argues that part of the efficacy of bowl divination among Kaqchikels, and possibly among Nahuas, rests upon the transformation of the water used into a simulacrum of blood. The creation and subsequent manipulation of this simulacrum enables the ritualist to effectuate key changes to the client's state of blood and, by extension, to the client's state of spirit.

(Wp 2005-02) Social Identity Strategies In Recent Economics, John B. Davis

Economics Working Papers

This paper reviews three distinct strategies in recent economics for using the concept of social identity in the explanation of individual behavior: Akerlof and Kranton’s neoclassical approach, Sen’s commitment approach, and Kirman et al.’s complexity approach. The primary focus is the multiple selves problem and the difficulties associated with failing to explain social identity and personal identity together. The argument of the paper is that too narrow a scope for reflexivity in individual decision making renders the problem intractable, but that enlarging this scope makes it possible to explain personal and social identity together in connection with an individual behavior …

On-Line Training For Smes: Final Report, Beth Walker, Beverley Webster, Sue Stoney

Research outputs pre 2011

This research aimed to explore the appropriateness of on-line training delivery methods for small business owner/managers.

It is widely recognised that training and education are effective ways to reduce small business failure. In Australia, small business accounts for 96 percent of Australian private sector, non-agricultural businesses and they employ 47 percent of the private sector, non-agricultural workforce. Not surprisingly then, encouraging the development of the skills of the workforce has emerged as a major priority for government policy. However, what is also recognised is that many small business owner/managers (SBOs) have limited e-competencies.

Results of this research confirmed this and …

A Randomised Control Trial To Reduce Bullying And Other Aggressive Behaviours In Secondary Schools, Donna Cross, Hall Marg, Stacey Waters, Greg Hamilton

Research outputs pre 2011

In Australia bullying tends to peak twice in a school student's life - firstly at age 1 0 to 12 and then during the two years following their transition to secondary school (Rigby, 1994; Slee, 1995b) This transition to secondary school is considered a critical period to intervene on bullying (Farrington, 1993; Rigby, 1997, 1999; Sharp, 1995; Stevens, Bourdeaudhuij, & Van Oost, 2000; Whitney & Smith, 1993). It is suggested that compared with primary schools, the change in friendship structures that accompanies the move to secondary school, large student numbers and the less consistent contact and fewer close relationships between …
