Identifying Causes Of Student End Of Year Transfers As Experienced At Private All-Male Military Boarding Schools: A Multiple Case Study, Frank Martin

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This study examined and helped identify causes for end-of-year transfers from private all-male military boarding schools to a non-military school. The purposes of this study were twofold.

Irregularities In Procedure – Reconsidering Section 392, Pearlie M. C. Koh

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In corporate administration, procedures, and their due compliance, are often of as much significance as the outcomes of the proceedings they regulate. The consequence of a failure to comply with procedures, whether laid down statutorily or in the company's constitution, is often the invalidation of the subject proceeding. Such invalidation may perhaps be justified on the basis that faithful compliance does much to foster a perception that the outcomes determined at the proceedings so held are fair, a perception that is vitally important to the acceptability of the outcome by all concerned. Nevertheless, it is also the case that corporate …

The Need And Justification For A General Competition-Oriented Compulsory Licensing Regime, Kung-Chung Liu

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

There seems to be little or no discussion about the need of and justification for a general compulsory licensing that could be applicable to all IP laws. This author has previously argued, by referencing to competition law, in 2008 that it is paramount for the WTO to revise the TRIPS Agreement, so as to include substantive grounds for granting compulsory patent licenses. In so doing, the preservation of competition should be factored in as one of the public policy objectives. As a follow-up study this paper takes an IP-internal approach (therefore will only consult competition law in a very limited …

The Impact Of Macro Socio-Economic Drivers And Fiscal Policy On Expenditure Allocation And Attribute Preferences, Anirban Mukherjee, Andre Bonfrer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Our article investigates the effect of macro socio-economic drivers on Australian households’ allocation of expenditure in a category (household appliances) and conditional on the allocated category expenditure, preferences for products (clothes washers) within the category. At the category-level, we quantify the effect of changes in social mobility, disposable income, housing prices and the 2009 stimulus payments on purchase propensity and expenditure. At the product-level, we investigate how households trade off between price, energy efficiency and loading capacity conditional on allocated category expenditure, measuring nonhomotheticity in preferences. We use the model to study a number of hypothetical scenarios, where we simulate …

Human Papillomavirus, Vaccines, And Protection From Cervical Cancer, Sadiman K. Altinbas, Omer L. Tapisiz

Saudi Medical Journal

Current published data makes clear the relationship between genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer. Although there is an opportunity for screening programs that could obviate the disease, cervical cancer still remains the second most common cancer among women worldwide. The subtypes HPV 16 and 18 affect the anogenital tract mucosal surfaces, and accounts for nearly 70% of all cervical cancers, and 90% or more of anal cancer cases. When the 493,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 274,000 deaths per year are taken into consideration, the importance of treatment and prophylaxis modalities for HPV can clearly be recognized. …

Sifat-Kepribadian Dan Dukungan Organisasi Sebagai Prediktor Komitmen Organisasi Guru Pria Di Sekolah Dasar, Bonar Hutapea

Makara Human Behavior Studies in Asia

Unlike in business and industrial setting, researches examining organizational commitment in academic/educational realm have been scarce.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictability of traits-personality and perceived organizational support towards male teachers’ organizational commitment and also to examine the relation of five factors of personality with dimensions of their commitment.

Pataya: Suatu Tinjauan Konstruksi Tempat Ngèbèr Komunitas Gay Di Surabaya, Kathleen Azali

Makara Human Behavior Studies in Asia

Tempat ngèbèr, or hanging-out places where gay men in Indonesia meet, can be found in various—though relatively hidden—public places across Indonesia. Tempat ngèbèr as one of the more prominent sites in the constellation of gay serves not only as a space to find sexual partners, but also to socialize, to be open in expressing oneself, and to gain acceptance from one’s peers. Surabaya has a number of famous, well-known tempat ngèbèr, with Pataya being one of the largest places. Yet changes within the last few years have diminished its popularity. Through participant observation and non-formal interviews, this research attempts to …

Can A Computer Intercept Your Email?, Bruce E. Boyden

Cardozo Law Review

In recent years, it has become feasible for computers to rapidly scan the contents of large amounts of communications traffic to identify certain characteristics of those messages: that they are spam, contain malware, discuss various products or services, are written in a particular dialect, contain copyright-infringing files, or discuss symptoms of particular diseases. There are a wide variety of potential uses for this technology, such as research, filtering, or advertising. But the legal status of automated processing, if it is done without advance consent, is unclear. Where it results in the disclosure of the contents of a message to others, …

Discovery About Discovery: Sampling Practice And The Resolution Of Discovery Disputes In An Age Of Ever-Increasing Information, Charles Yablon, Nick Landsman-Roos

Cardozo Law Review

This Article provides the first extended academic consideration of a new practice adopted by an increasing number of courts to resolve e-discovery disputes - the sampling of a small portion of the information sought in backup or other relatively inaccessible files. We provide a comprehensive overview and statistical analysis of contemporary sampling techniques, identifying issues where sampling practice is inconsistent or where additional guidance appears to be required. Our aim is to provide a coherent theoretical approach to the use of sampling, suggesting "best practices" for many unresolved issues, and locating sampling practice within broader contemporary debates about discovery.

Dynamic Fiduciary Duties, Andrew S. Gold

Cardozo Law Review

This Article assesses a fundamental puzzle concerning directors' fiduciary duties. While courts have gradually refined the content of fiduciary duties, they have yet to determine which parties are the beneficiaries of these duties. In the standard Delaware pronouncement, directors owe their duties to "the corporation and its shareholders." Since the interests of the corporation and its shareholders will diverge in various settings, this is at best an indeterminate legal doctrine. The puzzle is that this indeterminacy remains an ongoing feature of the law, rather than a temporary area of uncertainty. Why don't the courts pick just the shareholders, or just …
