This paper examines the inherent link between a countrys education system and its compar-ative advantage in trade. It suggests that di¤erences in education systems across countries are probably a stable equilibrium result that is compatible with and reinforced by trade patterns. In equilibrium, two distinct types of countries emerge, one that exports creativity-intensive prod-ucts and has an education system encouraging diversity (as illustrated by the US), and the other one that exports high-quality manufactured products and has an education system promoting homogeneity in student quality (as illustrated by Japan). Our …ndings present a novel expla-nation for the coexistence of low test scores of students and high economic performance in the US. JEL Classi…cation: F16, I20, J24.

This paper study about using of nonparametric
models for Gross National Product data in Turkey and Stanford heart
transplant data. It is discussed two nonparametric techniques called
smoothing spline and kernel regression. The main goal is to compare
the techniques used for prediction of the nonparametric regression
models. According to the results of numerical studies, it is concluded
that smoothing spline regression estimators are better than those of
the kernel regression.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a parallel connected inverter configuration of. The configuration consists of parallel connected three-phase dc/ac inverter. Series resistors added to the inverter output to maintain same current in each inverter of the two parallel inverters, and to reduce the circulating current in the parallel inverters to the minimum. High frequency third harmonic injection PWM (THIPWM) employed to reduce the total harmonic distortion and to make maximum use of the voltage source. DSP was used to generate the THIPWM and the control algorithm for the converter. Selected experimental results have been shown to validate the proposed system.

This study examines primary school choice in seven states in rural north India, using data from a survey of schools and 1586 households in 274 villages. The analysis emphasizes the role of choice sets faced by rural households, given uneven provision of primary education, and of the relative importance of voice versus exit in household decisions on school choice. The overarching findings suggest that parents value the facilities and functionality of the chosen school and are sensitive to the characteristics of the alternatives available, with possible differences based on the gender of the child. Significantly, the odds that the chosen school is privately managed are lower when variables denoting quality of the government schools in the village are higher. However, the presence of vehicles for parental representation denoting voice does not matter in expected ways. Overall, parents might be discerning with respect to individual school characteristics rather than merely sorting over ...

Institutional Planning deals with preparation of plan or programme of action at the institutional level. To enable the institution to accomplish their goals by mobilizing, channelizing and utilizing resources to the optimum level and in the desired direction. Institutional Management is a part of Educational Management. Educational Management is at a Macro level-At the National and State levels. This is done by the Ministry of Human Resource Development at the Cabinet level and the Education Ministry at the state level. The processes of management are from top to down. Institutional Management is at the Micro-level -At the level of individual institutions. Institutional management involves the Principal, teaching and non-teaching staff. The origin of the educational management as a field of study may be traced back to the 1880's with the publication of the "practical Handbook of school Management by Teachers".

Management consultancy, since its start as a profession and as a business 150 years ago, is expanding rapidly throughout the world. Management consulting is the rendering of assistance and independent advice about management issues. Management consultants have skills in research, analysis, communication and change management. They are able to identify problems, find relevant data, synthesize information, develop proposals for improvement, overcome resistance, transfer management techniques, and help clients to learn from experience. Besides traditional management consulting (e.g. strategy, organization, HR, change management, IT advice and project management) new service lines (e.g. development and integration excluding software development and outsourcing) also belong to this profession (Niedereicholz, 1996). Management consultants are agents in the dissemination of business knowledge thanks to their expertise and knowledge management practices. However, relatively few studies focu...

The impacts of feminist thinking can be traced on various subfields in linguistics and hence gave birth to new paradigms and approaches such as feminist pragmatics, feminist conversation analysis, feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA), feminist sociolinguistics, and feminist post-structuralist discourse analysis (Edward & Milani, 2014). The feminists view language as an instrument to exercise power and coercion. Therefore, linguistic analysis with feminist approach, considering sociocultural factors, is produced in order to highlight the underlying mechanisms of the discourses to represent the powerful and oppressed groups. Similarly, feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA) puts emphasis particularly on the ‘discourses which sustain a patriarchal social order: that is, relations of power that systematically privilege men as a social group and the disadvantage to excl ude and disempower women as a social group’ (Lazar 2005, p.5). Burck (2011) states that language not only s...

This Review Paper introducing the modeling of Brushed DC motor and different PID control techniques. A brushed DC motor is commutated an internally which is electric motor designed to be run by a direct current power supply. A Brushed motors were the first commercially important application for convert electric power to driving mechanical loads, and DC power distribution systems were used for more than 100 years to operate motors in commercial and industrial Applications. A conventional brushed DC Motor consist basically two parts,first one is the stationary body of the motor called the Stator and the other one is inner part which rotates producing the movement called the Rotor or " Armature " for DC motors. For the motion control of DC motor in almost applications, PID controller is used. The PID controllers have a long history in control engineering and they have been proven to be robust, simple and stable for many real world applications. Roughly, P action is related to the present error, I action is based on the past history of error, and D action is related to the future behavior of the error. From estimation point of view P, D, and I correspond to filtering, smoothing and prediction problems respectively.This control mode is combination of the Proportional, the Integral, and the Derivative mode. This is most powerful but complex controller mode. It provides accurate and stable control of the three controller mode. It is recommended in system where the load changes frequently. The Three-term , PID controllers are probably the most widely used industrial controller. An Even complex industrial control systems may comprises a control network whose main control building block is a PID control module. The three-term PID controller has had a long history of use and has survived the changes of technology from the analogue era in to the digital computer control system age quite satisfactorily. It was the first controller to be mass produced for the high-range volume market that existed in the process industries.

The emergence of new technologies in the era of globalization and liberalization entirely changed the nature of business transactions. By the evolution of business life cycles business transactions became very complex and managing risk became a challenging task for the organizations. Good corporate governance became a key word to handle accounting scandals and to mitigate growing concern about the quality of financial statements. Various committees have been formed globally to improve the effectiveness of corporate governance, in Zimbabwe, Audit committee from Cadbury committee report to Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s guidelines. This essay seeks to identify corporate governance challenges faced by Premier Services Medical Aid Society (PSMAS); these include lack of clear responsibility and accountability, lack of risk management, low levels transparency and disclosure, excessive bureaucracy, political interference, legal issues and nepotism.  Measures to address the challenges will be discussed making reference to Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe guideline and International codes of corporate governance.

This paper dwells on the analysis of So Long a Letter, a novella by Mariama Ba, a Senegalese woman with a view to bringing out the issue of polygamy as thematically presented in the work. The thematic analysis of So Long a Letter is an obvious one. It solely condemns polygamy and it devastating effects on the girl-child in a cultural context and as constraints on the happiness of couples who are usually separated. Feminism in its various strands was adopted as the theoretical framework. Women and men are guilty of polygamy as they collaborate in promoting the practice using religious and cultural platform while these actors have different motives.

Resumo: Teoria e Prática da Arquitectura em Vitrúvio, seus herdeiros antigos, e na Idade Média; Teoria e Prática em Alberti e outros autores da Idade Moderna até à Contemporaneidade; a Teoria da Arquitectura como disciplina específica e autónoma, e como forma de compreensão do Mundo. Palavras-Chave: Teoria, Prática, Arquitectura, Similitudes, Mudança, Diferenças, Autonomia da Teoria. O arquitecto é um pedreiro que sabe Latim -Loos, A., «Ornament und Erziehung», 1924. Architecti est scientia pluribus disciplinis et uariis eruditionibus ornata (...) Ea nascitur ex fabrica et ratiocinatione. Fabrica est continuata ac trita usus meditatio quae manibus perficitur e materia (...) Ratiocinatio autem est quae res fabricatas sollertiae ac rationis pro portione demonstrare atque explicare potest 1 . Que a Arquitectura era ciência constituída de Teoria e Prática ou, segundo a ordem de nomeação de Vitrúvio (Séc. I, a.C.), de Prática (fabrica) e Teoria (ratiocinatio) pode-se considerar um dado adquirido, e que é possível condensar, sintetizando-o em três tópicos: 1) Arquitectura: ciência composta de Prática e Teoria, Prática em 1.º lugar 2) Prática: exercício de experiência manual, conseguida a partir da matéria 3) Teoria: demonstração e explicação, através do engenho e a racionalidade Como se julga evidente a Prática (fabrica) sai bastante dignificada pelo autor, que até a nomeia em primeiro lugar, à frente da Teoria (ratiocinatio, ratiocinatione). Mas o enfoque vitruviano, na relação Teoria-Prática, agudiza-se logo a seguir, no § 2. -Veja-se: os arquitectos que exerceram sem uma formação teórica mas apenas com base na experiência das suas mãos não puderam realizar-se ao ponto de lhes reconhecerem autoridade pelos seus 1 Vitruve, De l'architecture (De architectura) (25-15 a.C.), Liv. I, 1, 1, texte établi, trad. et commenté par Ph. Fleury, Paris, 1990, CUF / Les Belles Lettres, p. 4; id., Vitrúvio, Tratado de Arquitectura, I, 1, 1, trad., introd. e notas M. J. Maciel, ilust. Th. N. Howe, Lisboa, 2006, IST Press, p. 30: A ciência do arquitecto é ornada de muitas disciplinas e de vários saberes (...) Nasce da prática e da teoria. A prática consiste na preparação contínua e exercitada da experiência, a qual se consegue manualmente a partir da matéria (...) Por sua vez, a teoria é aquilo que pode demonstrar e explicar as coisas trabalhadas proporcionalmente ao engenho e à racionalidade; 4 trabalhos; também aqueles que se basearam somente nas teorias e nas letras foram considerados como perseguindo a sombra e não a realidade. Todavia, os que se aplicaram numa e noutra coisa, como que protegidos por todas as armas (uti omnibus armis ornati), atingiram mais depressa, com prestígio (cum auctoritate), aquilo a que se propuseram 2 . De novo a Prática é identificada com a experiência manual, vista como insuficiente, sem autoridade, ou seja, não fundamentada, contrapondo-se-lhe a exclusividade da Teoria, como uma persecução da sombra (umbram) e não da realidade (rem). A superação desta contradição fazia-se reconhecendo a necessidade de uma e outra para se atingir resultados com prestígio. -De resto, usar em conjunto e equilibradamente a Prática e a Teoria seria como estar protegido por todas as armas (omnibus armis ornato)! -E o De architectura, ou De architectura libri decem, no seu desenvolvimento, comprova este equílibrio entre Teoria e Prática, pois dos seus 10 livros, 7 dedicados à aedificatio, 3, ou seja, cerca de metade dos que tratam a aedificatio, têm por tema a Prática (fabrica), isto é, os Materiais e Técnicas de Construção: o Livro II, tratando o domínio da Firmitas ou dos materiais e construção em Toscos; o VI, dentro do âmbito da Utilitas, expõe a habitação numa óptica em que predomina o enfoque prático, e os materiais e técnicas de construção de Limpos; o VII, descrevendo os aspectos mais práticos para se alcançar a Venustas (pinturas e ornamentação). -Essa Venustates enim persequitur uisus, ou seja, a beleza que o olhar persegue, e que exigiria uoluptati proportione 3 . -Além destes 3 livros há ainda a descrição da Basílica de Fano, em V, 1, 4-5, que seria comprovativa da habilitação e competência prática de Vitrúvio, cujos editores, a partir de Cesariano, 1521, sempre intentam recriar em desenho. É de lembrar que Platão, filósofo sempre presente em todos os aspectos da Cultura Ocidental 4 , no Político (Πολιτικός) 5 definira o saber prático, como o da charpentage ou toute autre 2 : architecti qui sine litteris contenderant ut manibus essent exercitati non potuerunt efficere ut haberent pro laboribus auctoritatem; qui autem ratiocinationibus et litteris solis confisi fuerunt umbram non rem persecuti uidentur. At qui utrumque perdidicerunt, uti omnibus armis ornati, citius cum auctoritate quod fuit propositum sunt adsecuti. 3 Vitrúvio, ob. cit., III, 3, 13 (ed. 2006), p. 115; id., Vitruve, De l'architecture (De architectura), Livre III, 3, 13, texte établi, traduit et commenté par P. Gros, Paris, 1990, p. 21: Venustates enim persequitur uisus, cuius si non blandimur uoluptati proportione et modulorum adiectionibus, uti quod fallitur temperatione adaugeatur, uastus et inuenustus conspicientibus remittetur aspectus. 4 Ver, Heidegger, M., Nietzsche II, Pfullingen, 1961, G.

This book deals with irregular migration in several EU countries. A core position that runs throughout the book is that the empirical specification of irregular migration in Europe through reliable data, which is the primary aim of the book, is a necessary condition not only for grounded scientific research, but also for informed policymaking and a "fact-based public debate" (pp.292-3). The research questions that this collective volume puts more emphasis on are: [1] how many are the irregular immigrants in the studied countries, and [2] which are the core features of irregular population (origin, place in the division of labour)? Additional questions are: [3] how immigrants "become" irregular and through which channels do they become legal residents, [4] which are the main trends in the flows of irregular migration to Europe during the last two decades, [5] which are the basic characteristics of state policies that deal with irregular immigration, and [6] which are the dominant discourses in the media and politics that frame such policies (p.9)?

It is common knowledge that a good teacher can turn a student's life around. This research article discusses the influence of teacher's behavior on the Self-Regulation behavior of university students. All the teachers and students of Hyderabad universities (13 universities) constituted the population. The sample of the study is 1080, consist of 180 faculties and 900 students That randomly selected from five universities out of 13 universities in Hyderabad. Two questionnaires were developed and validated through pilot testing and administered to the sample for the collection of data. The researcher personally visited respondents, thus 100% data were collected. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed by using chi-square and Pearson's product moment coefficient of correlation (r). The major conclusions of the study were that teachers felt proud to be teachers, they adjusted themselves with the prevailing situation and circumstances, and they used different motivational techniques for teaching. Majority of the both faculties (48%) and students (50%) indicated that important qualities of teacher's Behavior were punctuality, honesty, hardworking, friendly, confident and competency. 69% of the students opined that they participated actively in the classes because they had a sincere relationship with their teachers and also 67% of students didn't like teachers think badly of them if they didn't it. Majority of the students informed that they understand some of lessons better because their teacher explained the lesson very well (88%) and use different teaching techniques in class(74%). hence, teacher's friendly behavior and teacher's attitude toward the students had impact on activities and self-regulation behavior in students.

This paper assesses the extent to which teachers ’ actions in the classroom influence the school environment. The assessment is based on a statistical analysis of videotaped classroom observations of 51,329 teachers. The classroom environment was found to have a significant influence on students ’ performance. More specifically, the teacher’s ability to handle the class as a group is consistently more significant than other measures of class environment. It was also founds that the overall school environment is a better predictor of students ’ test results than the environment in the classrooms of the students whose test results are being reported. This suggests that the most effective course of action would be to improve the overall school environment, although individual teachers have less control over this factor.

RESUMO: Em Introdução à filosofia (Einführung in die Philosophie), Edith Stein examina a questão do conhecimento, explicitando a impossibilidade de se conhecer completamente o que é individual; no caso do indivíduo humano, a investigação se es-tende para a análise da possibilidade ou a impossibilidade de se conhecer o eu. Examinando os estudos da pensadora sobre o conhecimento da subjetividade e tomando como fio condutor as análises de Edmund Husserl acerca da autoapreensão do ego puro, é possível destacar a importância dos papéis da evidência e da intuição do ponto de vista fenomenológico nos momentos constitutivos do ato de conhecer, especialmente, no que se refere ao caráter singular da pessoa humana.
Palavras-chave: Edith Stein; Edmund Husserl; Eu; Evidência; Conhecimento.

ABSTRACT: On Introduction to Philosophy (Einführung in die Philosophie), Edith Stein examines the question of knowledge, explaining the impossibility of knowing completely what individual is; in the case of the human individual, the investigation is extended to the analysis of the possibility or the impossibility of knowing the “I”. Examining Edith Stein’s studies of the knowledge of subjectivity and Edmund Husserl’s analysis of self-apprehension of pure ego, it is possible to emphasize the importance of the roles of evidence and of intuition from the phenomenological point of view in the constitutive moments of the act of knowing, specially, with regard to the singular character of the human person.
Keywords: Edith Stein; Edmund Husserl; I; Evidence; Knowledge.

Abstract: A separation of provider and purchaser roles- together with performance-based reimbursement- were recently introduced in several county councils, which are the local governments that provide and fund almost all health care in Sweden. These changes have been motivated by efficiency and consumer choice arguments. In this paper we analyze the outcome of the former by studying differences in productive performance for county councils with and without new internal organizations. Performance is measured in terms of technical efficiency and productivity growth. The performance measures are estimated using data envelopment analysis. Using data for the 26 county councils between 1989 and 1994 we find differences in mean efficiency between the two groups, indicating higher technical efficiency in the group with performance based reimbursement (internal markets). Differences in productivity growth are also found, although the differences are significant in one period only.

Quantum cryptography is a promising solution towards absolute security in long term cryptosystems. While the use of quantum cryptography in fiber optical networks gets significant advances, research on the application of quantum cryptography in mobile wireless network is still premature. In this paper, we analyze the interests of using quantum cryptography in 802.11 wireless networks, and propose a scheme integrating quantum cryptography in 802.11i security mechanisms for the distribution of the encryption keys. The use of an apparatus network to provide alternative line-of-sight paths is also discussed.

Saat ini sumber energi yang paling banyak digunakan di dunia adalah energi fosil yang berupa bahan bakar minyak. Indonesia sendiri saat ini masih sangat tergantung pada energi fosil. Hampir 95% dari kebutuhan energi Indonesia masih disuplai oleh energi fosil. Sekitar 50% dari energi fosil tersebut adalah minyak bumi dan sisanya adalah gas dan batubara. Energi fosil adalah energi yang tak terbarukan dan akan habis pada beberapa tahun yang akan datang. Diprediksi tidak lebih dari 50 tahun lagi energi fosil di dunia akan habis. Selain karena akan habis, energi fosil juga berdampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Emisi gas rumah kaca dari pembakaran energi fosil berdampak pada pemanasan global yang menyebabkan perubahan iklim. Karena itulah energi pengganti fosil sangat diperlukan untuk kebutuhan energi di masa yang akan datang. Energi alternatif merupakan solusi dari permasalahan-permasalahan di atas. Beberapa energi alternatif telah dikembangkan seperti panas bumi, biomassa, sinar matahari, nuklir, dan sebagainya. Kebanyakan energi alternatif yang dikembangkan merupakan energi terbarukan. Namun ada pula yang tidak terbarukan, salah satunya nuklir. Namun nuklir dapat menjadi energi alternatif karena lebih ramah lingkungan dan sangat hemat sehingga ketersediaannya di alam dapat digunakan dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Berikut inilah 7 sumber energi alternatif pengganti bahan bakar fosil; 1. Panas Bumi Panas bumi merupakan energi yang alami dan terdapat di dalam bumi hasil dari interaksi antara panas batuan dan air. Energi ini merupakan energi terbarukan. Menurut UU No. 27/2003; Panas bumi adalah sumber energi panas yang terkandung di dalam air panas, uap air, dan batuan bersama mineral ikutan dan gas lainnya yang secara genetik semuanya tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam satu sistem panas bumi dan untuk pemanfaatannya diperlukan proses penambangan. Sistem panas bumi terdiri dari Heat Sources, Reservoir dan Clay Cap, dan adanya Hydrology System. Seperti inilah sistem panas bumi: Sistem Panas Bumi (klik gambar untuk memperbesar) Sumber: Dirjen EBTKE Kementerian ESDM Indonesia memiliki potensi panas bumi yang sangat besar yaitu mencapai 29.215 MW atau sekitar 40% dari cadangan panas bumi di seluruh dunia. Saat ini potensi tersebut baru digunakan sekitar 1.281 MW (Data Badan Geologi bulan Desember 2011). Dengan potensi sebesar itu, Indonesia diprediksi oleh Al Gore, mantan Wakil Presiden Amerika Serikat, mampu menjadi negara super power pengguna energi panas bumi. Al Gore mengatakan hal itu saat membuka KTT Asia-Pasific The Climate Project di Jakarta pada tahun 2011.
