A multiple regression imputation method with application to sensitivity analysis under intermittent missingness
No full textMissing data is a common problem in general applied studies, and specially in clinical trials. For implementing sensitivity analysis, several multiple imputation methods exist, like sequential imputation, which restricts to monotone missingness, and Bayesian, where the imputation and analysis models differ, entailing overestimation of variance. Also, full conditional specification provides a conditional interpretation of sensitivity parameters, requiring further calibration to get the desired marginal interpretation. We propose in this paper a multiple imputation procedure, based on a multivariate linear regression model, which keeps compatibility in sensitivity analysis under intermittent missingness, providing a marginal interpretation of the elicited parameters. Simulation studies show that the method behaves well with longitudinal data and remains robust under demanding constraints. We conclude the possibility of situations not covered by the existing methods and well suited for our proposal, which allows more efficient handling of a given multivariate linear regression structure. Its use is illustrated in a real case study, where a sensitivity analysis is accomplished.Financial support from the VLIR-UOS JOINT-project "A Cuban-Flemish Training and Research Program in Data Science and Big Data Analysis" (2018-2020) is gratefully acknowledged.Uranga, R (corresponding author), Natl Ctr Clin Trials, Dept Data Management & Stat, 5th A & 60 St, Havana 11300, Cuba.

Language Variation and Grammatical Theory in Roman Legal Texts
No full textThe author identifies many points of contact between the writings of grammatici and the jurists who put their theories to use in resolving concrete legal difficulties. Particularly noteworthy are the jurists’ discussion of lexical meaning, regional differences, the pragmatics of spoken communication, and speakers’ linguistic errors. The Digest is shown to be a rich repository of meta-linguistic reflection about different kinds of linguistic, drawing on and supplementing ancient grammatical sources
From outreach to engaged placemaking: understanding public land-grant university involvement with tourism planning and development
No full textPublic land-grant universities (PLGUs) have been mandated for nearly a century to fulfill research, teaching, and public service missions by advancing scholarly inquiry that benefits broader society, by ensuring educational access to a broad citizenry, and by providing direct assistance to communities primarily through agricultural cooperative extension services. With the advent of a global service-based economy in recent decades, PLGUs have become involved with tourism planning and development efforts in their communities as forms of education and public service through academic programs and cooperative extension tourism, as well as through conference and event services and through campus-based visitor information centers. PLGU involvement with tourism planning and development signals a trend towards placemaking that coincides with the national university-community engagement movement. This exploratory analysis begins to clarify PLGU involvement with tourism planning and development as an emergent form of university-community engagement. The study finds that predominantly elite PLGUs are promoting their involvement with tourism planning and development as community engagement, thereby advancing themselves as powerful placemakers that help to make their communities more competitive destinations in regional and national place hierarchies. As a consequence, PLGUs that appear to lack capacity to compete in this innovative approach to community engagement also appear to lack placemaking power in their communities. Ultimately, the study asserts that the adoption of community-based tourism engagement marketing strategies among elite PLGUs creates a new playing field on which lower capacity PLGUs and their communities are disadvantaged to compete. Ironically, this practice reinforces the very class and power structures that the university-community engagement movement seeks to address. Using primarily grounded theory, institutional ethnography, and case study methodological approaches, the study identifies and characterizes levels of tourism planning and development capacity among PLGUs on national and regional scales. The study lays groundwork for further research on PLGU tourism planning and development as both a potentially beneficial and potentially disempowering form of university-community engagement.Ph.

La configuración del “lar” en la poesía de Rolando Cárdenas
No full textThis article analyses the poetic subject’s laric vision in poems from In the Province’s Winter, by Rolando Cardenas. In this text the author stresses the originality and authenticity of life in the province, bestowing upon it a mythical character produced by the transcendent nature of the most common daily activities. Contrary to Cardenas’s laric vision is that of the poetic subject in Jorge Teillier’s poetry, in which the laric is defined by the contradictory emotions it cannot reconcile as it perceives in itself the impossibility of belonging to an original, uncontaminated world.El presente artículo analiza la visión lárica del sujeto poético en poemas de En el invierno de la provincia, de Rolando Cárdenas, texto en que el autor destaca la originalidad y autenticidad de la forma de vida provinciana, dotándola de un sentido mítico producto de la trascendencia que supone el desarrollo de sus ritos y actividades más cotidianas. Ello, en contraste con la postura del sujeto teillieriano, donde lo lárico se define por los sentimientos contradictorios que éste experimenta y que no puede conciliar toda vez que percibe por y en sí mismo la imposibilidad de pertenecer a un mundo original
