    PhDThis thesis is an historical account of the British government's regulation of the immigration to the United Kingdom of Jewish refugees in flight from Nazi persecution. The focus of the study is the administration of immigration controls, with particular emphasis on the groups of refugees for whom entry was possible and the conditions subject to which they were admitted. The administrative process is also examined in the context of policy. The results of the government's efforts to control the influx are set against policy goals, in order to assess both the extent to which the quest for control was successful, and the extent to which it led to unintended consequences. The relationship between policy and procedure is thus a key theme of this study. The bulk of the thesis is concerned with policy-making and administration within government, and is based on documents in the Public Record Office(PRO). Other sources used include private papers of ministers and officials, records of Jewish organisations, archives of refugee committees and interviews, listed in the bibliography. The material largely concerns the work of Whitehall departments, interdepartmental relations and activities at Cabinet-level. Home Office policy and practice are covered in particular detail. The contributions of other government departments, particularly the Foreign Office, the Ministry of Labour and the Treasury, are also discussed. Another important topic is the policy-making and administrative role of nongovernmental organisations, especially refugee committees. The introduction is followed by a chapter outlining the legal and administrative history of immigration control since 1905. succeeding chapters deal chronologically with the British response to the immigration of Jewish refugees from 1933 to 1942. The conclusion discusses whether British policy was humanitarian or self-interested. Two appendixes contain brief biographical notes on persons relevant to the thesis and a list of Home Secretaries and Home Office Permanent Under Secretaries

    This paper compares the risk and return of investing in equity mutual funds provided by the world's two largest mutual fund families: Fidelity and Vanguard over a long horizon. We believe this will help guide investors; this study is an example of the calculations that mutual fund companies should facilitate by being required to provide accurate, accessible and free data. Over the entire period 1977 through 2003 both Fidelity's (no load) and Vanguard's diversified U.S. funds out returned the Wilshire 5000 index; Fidelity's portfolio out returned Vanguard's portfolio by 0.62 % per year but under returned it by 0.39 % when risk adjusted.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Objective:To invest possible association between HSU and: i) ASST ii) autoimmune diseases, iii) autoimmune serology, iv) atopy and dermographism. Methods:This is a perspective study. Patients with CSU (chronic spontaneous urticaria) were studied. UAS7 was applied to all of them.ASST and the following blood analyses were performed: anti- TPO, anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF). Results: We analyzed 48 patients with CSU; most of them were women, angioedema was associated with CSU in more than half of the patients, ASST was positive in more than one third of the patients and almost the same number of patients had positive autoimmune status.Almost half of the patients had a personal history of atopy and presence of dermographism. Conclusions: This study brings additional evidences of interest in patients with CSU as they could be associated to ASST and autoimmunity. Keywords: Chronic spontaneous urticaria, ASST, autoimmunit
