"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
No full textFrom this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Economic growth and a rising stock market in the 1990s gave the impression that everyone was accumulating wealth and asset poverty rates were declining. The impression was supported by the official, income-based poverty measure, which exhibited a sharp decline. According to Senior Scholar Edward N. Wolff and Research Scholar Asena Caner, poverty measures should include wealth as well as income. Their study of asset poverty in the United States between 1984 and 1999 focuses on the lower end of the wealth distribution and shows that asset poverty rates did not decline during the period studied, and that the severity of poverty increased. It also shows that asset poverty is much more persistent than income poverty.
Process length variation in cysts of a dinoflagellate, Lingulodinium machaerophorum, in surface sediments: Investigating its potential as salinity proxy

For a full list of the authors, please see the PDF version.”A biometrical analysis of the dinoflagellate cyst Lingulodinium machaerophorum (Deflandre and Cookson 1955) Wall, 1967 in 144 globally distributed surface sediment samples revealed that the average process length is related to summer salinity and temperature at a water depth of 30 m by the equation (salinity/temperature) = (0.078*average process length + 0.534) with R² = 0.69. This relationship can be used to reconstruct palaeosalinities, albeit with caution. The particular ecological window can be associated with known distributions of the corresponding motile stage Lingulodinium polyedrum (Stein) Dodge, 1989. Confocal laser microscopy showed that the average process length is positively related to the average distance between process bases (R²=0.78), and negatively related to the number of processes (R²=0.65). These results document the existence of two end members in cyst formation: one with many short, densely distributed processes and one with a few, long, widely spaced processes, which can be respectively related to low and high salinity/temperature ratios. Obstruction during formation of the cysts causes anomalous distributions of the processes. From a biological perspective, processes function to facilitate sinking of the cysts through clustering
David Ammons - Chair Caner
No full textHere is David Ammons, chair caner, who tells the story of how as a child he learned chair caning while watching his grandpa, Tom Ammons. In his words: “I watched in awe as he wove his magic piece by piece, bottoming the chair in a herringbone weave from white oak splints. I had no idea I would one day take up the craft also. Now as I weave, I can feel his presence.

How to Read This Book: Personas Guiding Through EUGAIN Results
No full textWelcome to the summary of the results of the EUGAIN project. Many researchers have poured their hearts into this COST Action project. A COST Action is a network building activity funded by the European Union. As such, the contributions in this book present a Euro-centric view from all corners of Europe—the Nordics (for example, Sweden and Norway), the South (for example, Italy and Albania), the East (for example, Turkey and Romania), and the West (for example, Portugal and France)
From Efficiency Discussions to Democracy in Public Administration: A Theoretical Analysis
No full textThis book aims to focus on the final stage of theoretical approaches in discipline, especially after the 1980s, due to the paradigm shift from efficiency in public administration to democracy. © Peter Lang AG 2020.2-s2.0-8511353913
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
PIVOTAL STRUCTURAL CHANGE TESTS IN LINEAR SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS WITH WEAK IDENTIFICATION
No full textAsymptotically pivotal structural change tests are developed for simultaneous equations with weakly identified parameters, extending the boundedly pivotal tests of Caner (2007, Journal of Econometrics 137, 28–67) by means of a simple reparametrization of the model.

CANER IŞIK, ALEVÎ ERENLER GELENEĞİ
No full textIn the study, Caner Işık's work titled "Alevi Erenler Tradition" was introduced. In the work, the data of both oral and written sources have been analyzed by
considering the origins and mystical characteristics of dervishes, who have an important place in the tradition. The tradition of Alevi saints has been examined by classifying the saints and dervishes and explaining their functions. In addition, the concepts of poet, minstrel, saz poet, dervish minstrel, folk poet are discussed and their changes and transformations in the historical process
are explained. The work is a guide in understanding Alevism in the example of Derviş Ruhan
