Examining varieties of positioning
No full textThe purpose of this chapter is to explore the development and uses of modes/varieties of positioning by scholars across time. The first section of the chapter provides a brief overview of the modes of positioning that Harré and Van Langenhove introduced in 1991. Next, in the second section of the chapter, we present a review of literature about the ways that scholars across the past three decades have used modes/varieties of positioning in their own work. Then, drawing on key insights from our literature review, we present a reanalysis of one of our own’s (i.e., Pauline Harris) research projects illustrating the affordances that can be attained by careful attention to modes/varieties of positioning in a reanalysis of data. Finally, we conclude the chapter considering implications of use of modes/varieties of positioning and suggesting future directions for scholars who use modes/varieties of positioning in their work
Recourse against Judgments in the Netherlands
No full textIn the 1980s, the Netherlands witnessed the start of a comprehensive programme of reform in the fields of judicial organisation and procedure. The reform programme consists of three stages, of which the first has now been completed. This has, amongst other things, resulted in the consolidation of several administrative procedures which were formerly adjudicated by different judicial bodies, in the Arrondissementsrechtbank. Consequently, the Arrondissementsrechtbank has obtained extensive administrative jurisdiction together with its jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases. As part of the reforms in the second stage, a bill has been submitted to Parliament which contains changes in the court structure. It is proposed to abolish the Kantongerecht and to reallocate its jurisdiction to the Arrondissementsrechtbank, transforming the latter court into a general first-instance court. In addition, the bill contains changes in the Code of Civil Procedure. In the present report the author discusses the current situation January 1998

Bifurcation Routes in Financial Markets
No full textThe heterogeneity of expectations among traders introduces an important non-linearity into the financial markets. In a series of papers, Brock and Hommes, propose to model economic and financial markets as adaptive belief systems. Asset price fluctuations in adaptive belief systems are characterized by phases of close-to-the-fundamental-price fluctuations, phases of optimism where most agents follow an upward price trend, and phases of pessimism with small or large market crashes. In this paper will be discussed the EMH benchmark and forecasting rules of fundamentals and trend extrapolators. Some illustrative examples are supplied.heterogeneity of expectations, adaptive belief systems, forecasting rules, fundamentals, trend extrapolators equations, limit cycles, asymptotical stability
John Ploughman's Talk or Plain Advice for Plain People.
No full textI admit that I have read only two pages of this book (154-5). It seems a non-stop barrage of one-liners. The author does indeed, as the cover illustration suggests, take the bull by the horns! I picked the book up because its frontispiece of Aesop's fox and crow depicts the book's insight: The fox admires the cheese, not the raven (154). My two pages had lots of good zingers in them, like He who believes in promises made at elections has long ears, and may try to eat thistles. I suspect there are many more fable-related proverbs along the way in the book, but for now I will let someone else find them. This printing represents the 544th thousand.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)C.H. Spurgeo
X-ray Absorption And X-ray Fluorescence For The Characterization Of Titanium Oxide-modified Hflc Silicas
No full textTitanium oxide grafted on to the surfaces of chromatographic silica was investigated by x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and x-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopy and the latter used before and after the extensive use of this material as a support for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). XRF indicated the formation of a complete 2:1 monolayer whereas XAS suggested the presence of more than one titanium oxide structure. These structures show some slight modification after immobilization of PMOS and use in HPLC.

On The Comovement of REIT Prices
No full textThis study examines the comovement of equity real estate investment trust (REIT) prices in both the vintage (1980–1991) and the new (1992–2004) REIT eras. The results indicate that the comovement of equity REIT prices within the same property type has strengthened during the new REIT era. The results also indicate that, all else being equal, a high institutional participation, a low insider ownership, and a large market capitalization are associated with a high within-property-type price synchronicity. The evidence is consistent with two notions: (1) that increasing participation by institutional investors in the new REIT era facilitates the pricing of property-type common information on firm-level prices, and (2) that REITs’ information openness to institutional investing plays a role in this strengthened pricing relationship.
