Argentina: National Bank Holidays, 2001, Owen Heaphy

Journal of Financial Crises

Starting in 1991, Argentina operated a currency board regime under which the central bank guaranteed a one-to-one peg of the Argentine peso to the US dollar. But in 2001, markets became increasingly concerned that the central bank would be unable to maintain the peg and would allow the peso to devalue against the dollar. At that time, more than two-thirds of Argentine bank deposits were denominated in dollars. Throughout 2001, depositors withdrew funds from banks; by November, peso deposits had declined by more than one-third and dollar deposits had fallen by one-tenth. On November 28, 2001, the systemwide banking run …

Survey Of Bank Holidays And Fund Suspensions, Rosalind Z. Wiggins, Owen Heaphy, Anmol Makhija, Stella Schaefer-Brown, Greg Feldberg, Andrew Metrick

Journal of Financial Crises

In this paper, we analyze seven case studies involving bank holidays and two involving mutual fund suspensions produced by the Yale Program on Financial Stability. Our main purpose is to assist policymakers who are considering utilizing a bank holiday in designing the most effective program as efficiently as possible. We find that a bank holiday may be most useful when designing and implementing a comprehensive remedy to an underlying problem distressing banks, particularly when an exogenous shock rather than balance sheet weaknesses is the cause of general distress to the system. A holiday is also useful to “ring-fence” one or …

Argentina: Mutual Fund Suspensions, 2019, Owen Heaphy, Anmol Makhija

Journal of Financial Crises

With Argentina facing a liquidity crisis and collapse in demand for government debt, on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, the country's minister of economy, Hernán Lacunza, announced after markets closed that the government was extending the maturity of USD 7 billion of its short-term public debt securities, among other measures. Lacunza stated that domestic retail investors would not be subject to the terms of the maturity extension and would be paid principal and interest on the affected securities per the original maturity schedule. This announcement caused confusion about the treatment of individual investors who held the affected securities indirectly through mutual …

The Importance Of Faith Integration In Student Motivation In Graduate Counseling Program Selection, Timothy J. Evans, Andrew J. Graham, Jim Zapf, Ronnie L. Pace

Journal of Counseling and Psychology

This study examines the role of faith integration in motivating graduate counseling students to select faith-based programs and its impact on their perceived preparedness to integrate faith into counseling practice. Using a quantitative approach, 239 participants from five graduate counseling programs completed a survey exploring their motivations for becoming counselors, reasons for program selection, and perceptions of faith integration in their education. Results revealed that students motivated by spiritual factors, such as pleasing God or influencing others spiritually, were significantly more likely to choose programs emphasizing faith integration and shared spiritual values. Older students placed greater importance on faith integration …

The Effect Of Daily Herbage Allowance On The Ingestive Behavior Of Dairy Cows, M Rogalski, J Kryszak, Z Karzoun

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

In conditions of pasture feeding sward selection and con­sumption by grazing animals is strongly influenced by char­acters of herbage (Forbes, 1986). Quantitative and qualitative state of the sward affects its consumption primarily through changes of such elements in animal behaviour as grazing time and number and size of bites (Hodgson, 1982, 1985). Rela­tivelyt much research has been done to investigate the response to the grazed sward of such ruminants as sheep, while the response of cattle, and particularly of dairy cows, has received much less attention (Arnold, 1981 ; Holmes, 1980). This paper presents results of investigations on the effect …

Characteristics Of Individual White Clover Plants In Grazed Swards, M J.M Hay, J L. Brock, V J. Thomas

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Compared to the large volume of agronomic research on white clover (Trifolium repens L.), studies on the growth and morphology of individual plants constituting the population under grazing are few (Brock et al., 1988). Increased knowledge of the clonal growth and seasonal behaviour of individual white clover plants is seen as essential (Snaydon, 1985) if the mechanisms governing persistence and productivity in mixed grazed swards are to be understood. Seasonal growth patterns of white clover vary with environment (Jones, 1982) and this paper describes seasonal variation in some characteristics of individual white clover plants in grazed swards in a temperate …

Towards Developing A Model Of Persistence And Production For White Clover, M J. Hill, K A. Archer, K J. Hutchinson

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

The development of a model which successfully simulates the response of white clover Trifolium repens L. to environmental variables affecting persistance would be of great value for defining critical limiting processes. In Australia, persistence is determined by the impact of climate, competition and grazing on the processes of generation, from seed or by stolons (Jones, 1980; Archer and Robinson, 1988). Here we outline a model of white clover persistence and production in eastern Australia. In Australia the four critical phases in the lifecycle of white clover where the environment can threaten persistence are : late autumn and winter when germination …

Improving Marginal Land Productivity In Mediterranean Environment Using Phosphate Fertilizer, A E. Osman, P S. Cocks, E F. Thomson, L Russi

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Marginal lands in this paper refer to the non arable lands which exist within or adjacent to the cropping zone in the mediterranean basin. Such lands constitue a sizable proportion of the total land available in north Africa and southern Europe. Similarly in west Asia there are large areas : in Syria and Leb­anon, they constitute between 30 to 60% of the total land surface. In west Asia and north Africa (W ANA), these lands are used mainly for grazing of sheep and goats. However, because pro­ductivity is low the animals need supplementary feeding with barley grain, grazing of green …

Adaptation And Production Of Some Forage Species On The White Clay Soils Of North Eastern China, Hu Jia Lu, J E. Winch

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Grain corn, soybeans and wheat have been produced on the white clay soils of eastern Heilongjiang province of the People's Republic of China for about 40 years. Yearly plowing, cultiva­ting and cropping led to a degradation in the physical and chemical properties of the heavy clay soil - a soil which constitutes 30 % of all the cultivated land in the region. This soil is characterized by a shallow loamy Ap horizon overlying a clay hard pan (Aw) (Zhang Zhi ui and Zhang Yuan fu, 1985). Forage crops have not been part of the rotation. To improve the soil physical …

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

This research brief summarizes about half a dozen courtroom observations and a dozen interviews conducted with practitioners and court representatives affiliated with the Grand Forks Domestic Violence Court (GFDVC). About 43% of women and 31% of men in the state of North Dakota have experienced some form of sexual, physical, or stalking violence in their lifetime (Smith et al., 2023). Rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women in the state generally matches that of the broader nation, though the state ranks as one of the lowest in terms of violence against men.

Where Do I Belong? What Should I Call Home?, Viplav Bhaskar Subramanian

Deliberately Queer Journal

Employing autoethnography, this reflection explores the contestations of home-place for queer racialized identities. Tony Adams asserts the vitality of such an embodied investigation when speaking about intersectionally assembled marginalized communities and identities through stating, “I turned to writing stories that others could use in times of relational distress […] by doing and living autoethnography” (Jones et al., 2013, p. 21). In this piece, I delve into my lived experiences, chartering conceptions of belonging while integrating personal stories and theoretical discourses. Such an embodiment, as expressed by Ellingson (2017), considers the body as “simultaneously physical and affective, social and individual, produced …

Usefulness Of Homoeopathic Medicine Lachesis Mutus In Treating Cervical Dystonia: A Case Report, Kamlesh P. Kakde, Vinaya Ganesan Iyer

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Cervical dystonia is a neurological disorder characterised by painful, involuntary muscular spasms affecting the neck and head. It is commonly of idiopathic origin and associated with a poor prognosis. Conventional management typically includes botulinum toxin administration or surgical interventions, which provide only partial relief and are often accompanied by symptom recurrence. Emerging evidence suggests that individualised homoeopathic treatment may offer superior efficacy in such cases. Case Summary: A 40-year-old male came to the clinic with pre-diagnosed condition of cervical dystonia for four years. Complete Repertory was utilised for remedy analysis and confirmation, which led to the prescription of …

Primary Infertility In A Female Due To Ovarian Endometrioma Managed With Homoeopathic Medicine Pulsatilla – A Case Report, R. Bhuvaneswari, R.S. Thendral, Nilina P. Ravindran, Sakthivel Vaiyapuri

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background: Infertility is defined as the failure to achieve a natural pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. There are various factors influencing fertility in females, such as ovulatory disorders, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, tubal blockage, other tubal/uterine abnormalities and hyperprolactinemia, among which endometriosis is the second most common cause of female infertility. Endometriomas are cystic lesions that stem from endometriosis. This case report explores the usefulness of individualised homoeopathic treatment in addressing primary infertility associated with ovarian endometrioma.

Pretty And Problematic: The Use Of Music In Guadagnino's 'Call Me By Your Name', Brandon L. Foskett

Deliberately Queer Journal

Tension in the reception of the American-Italian film Call Me by Your Name (dir. Guadagnino, 2017)—as a beautiful film that implicitly condones a problematic narrative—is shaped in part by its compilation soundtrack. Already lauded as a timeless masterpiece in cinematography, sensuality, and music, the film also receives steadfast criticism regarding its portrayal of homosexuality and alleged condoning of interage desire between Elio, a 17-year-old Italian-French boy, and Oliver, a 24-year-old American man. In this paper, I analyze five musical episodes from the film, including The Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way,” Ravel’s Une barque sur l’océan, and Sufjan Stevens’s “Mystery …

Santa, Socials, And Secrets: Hard Cases For Epistemic Rights, Étienne Brown, Rebecca Chan

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

In The Right to Know, Lani Watson forcefully argues in favor of recognizing epistemic rights to all humans. In this paper, we apply Watson’s framework to three hard cases. First, we consider interpersonal relationships and suggest that there is room to explore how epistemic rights bear on, e.g., whether parents can permissibly lie to or mislead their children by asserting the existence of Santa Claus. Second, we turn to social media platforms and contend that Watson’s framework is compatible with contrasting moderation policies and transparency requirements. Third, we examine a foundational case of legal ethics—the buried bodies case—which raises the …

Segmental Vitiligo Treated By Homoeopathic Constitutional Medicine Tuberculinum: An Evidence-Based Case Report, Shubham Grover, Ashwini Nair

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Vitiligo is characterised by a patchy loss of skin pigmentation, which most commonly occurs due to the immune system targeting melanocytes in the epidermis. A few studies have shown the effectiveness of Homoeopathy in halting the progression and replacing the hypo-pigmented patches with normal-pigmented skin. Case Summary: A 15-year-old boy came to the clinic complaining of white patches that appeared suddenly on various parts of his body within one week. Tuberculinum proved to be the constitutional medicine in this case. The photographic evidence taken at regular intervals and a follow-up of over nine months showed the potential of constitutional …

Mixed Hearing Loss With Csom Managed With Individualised Homoeopathic Treatment: A Case Report, Prince Kumar

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Any stage of life might see the development of hearing loss (HL). One or both ears may be affected, and the onset may occur suddenly or gradually. Numerous factors, such as trauma, illness, genetic disorders, age, or prolonged exposure to noise, can cause HL. One or more auditory system areas may have pathological alterations as a result of the changes. The majority of adult HL is permanent or gradually progresses; however, some may be momentary or amenable to treatment with medication or surgery. Case Summary: A 17-year-old male adolescent was treated with homoeopathic medicine in an obstinate case of …

Urinary Bladder And Bilateral Renal Calculi Expelled Through The Homoeopathic Medicine Nux Vomica – A Case Report, Prajakta M. Udmale, Vaishali R. Khobragade

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological problems that one comes across in a general outpatient clinic. The usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in the expulsion of urinary calculus is well-reported. However, this case is unique due to an advanced case of urolithiasis, where complications had begun to appear, as also the expulsion of all calculi using the homoeopathic medicines. Case Summary: A 34-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a large, mobile urinary bladder calculus and small bilateral renal calculi, with hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and mild oedema at ureterovesical (U-V) junction. He presented with recurrent episodes of mild to moderate …

A More Robust Ethics: The Weakness And Theistic Dependence Of Godless Normative Realism, Micah Andrew Pycraft

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This dissertation is centered on the metaethics and moral ontology of Erik Wielenberg. The central task of the dissertation is to examine Wielenberg’s metaethical view termed “Godless Normative Realism” and ascertain the ontological implications therein. I contend that Wielenberg’s moral ontology ultimately fails to establish moral realism and aspects of his metaethics are better explained by the existence of God rather than his non-existence.

Chapter One presents Erik Wielenberg’s metaethics within the background of the historical progression of moral ontology and contemporary approaches to moral realism. Tracing from ancient foundations of theistic moral realism I show how moral antirealism grew …
