Marcelo Diamand's contributions to economic theory: through the lenses of the classical-keynesian approach. A formal representation of unbalanced productive structures
No full textWe examine both conceptually and in formal terms the contributions by the structuralist economist Marcelo Diamand, which all turn round the notion of unbalanced productive structure, and its implications on income distribution, the general price level and output dynamics in Latin American countries, with special focus on Argentina. We argue that Diamand´s work provides a very useful framework to understand why institutionally-historically-determined real wage and real exchange rates may, on the one hand, explain the relatively low productivity of the industrial sector and, on the other hand, cause devaluations to be both inflationary and contractionary, as it has been the case in many Latin American countries that attempted to initiate an industrialization process by import substitution.Fil: Dvoskin, Ariel.

Vitamin D
No full textThis chapter provides an overview of the history and the current state of knowledge regarding the role of vitamin D in tumor cell growth regulation, treatment of cancer and development of potent synthetic vitamin D analogs. It addresses the recent developments in studies of vitamin D and cancer, regulation of tumor cells, possible mechanisms, and clinical applications. Based on this understanding, it indicates that the data obtained so far, on the distribution of the VDR in a broad range of tumors and the inhibition of cancer cell growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, inflammation, and PTHrP synthesis as well as the stimulation of differentiation and apoptosis by 1,25(OH)2D3, all hold promise for the development of treatment strategies based on vitamin D3 use in a wide range of cancers. Combination of vitamin D3 with other antitumor drugs, hormones, or growth factors is an important additional therapeutic option. The clinical application is enhanced by the development of 1,25(OH)2D3 analogs with potent growth-inhibitory actions and reduced hypercalcemic activity. Nevertheless it is crucial for the coming years to deliver strong clinical trials to support the potential of vitamin D in cancer treatment uncovered by investigation of cultured cells, animal models, and epidemiological studies.</p
A Dual Model of Cooperative Value
No full textAn expanded model of value in cooperative games is presented in which value has either a linear or a proportional mode, and NTU value has either an input or an output basis. In TU games, the modes correspond to the Shapley (1953) and proportional (Feldman (1999) and Ortmann (2000)) values. In NTU games, the Nash (1950) bargaining solution and the Owen- Maschler (1989, 1992) value have a linear mode and an input basis. The egalitarian value (Kalai and Samet (1985)) has a linear mode and an output basis. The output-basis NTU proportional value (Feldman (1999)) and the input-basis variant, identified here, complete the model. The TU proportional value is shown to have a random marginal contribution representation and to be in the core of a positive convex game. The output-basis NTU variant is shown to be the unique efficient Hart and Mas-Colell consistent NTU value based on equal proportional gain in two-player TU games. Both NTU proportional values are shown to be equilibrium payoffs in variations of the bargaining game of Hart and Mas-Colell (1996). In these variations, players' probabilities of participation at any point in the game are a function of their expected payoff at that time. Limit results determine conditions under which players with zero individual worth receive zero value. Further results show the distinctive nature of proportional allocations to players with small individual worths. In an example with a continuum of players bargaining with a monopolist, the monopolist obtains the entire surplus.cooperative game, value, mode, basis, bilateral cooperation, endogenous bargaining power, potential, equal proportional gain, consistency, noncooperative bargaining, zero players, monopoly
Developing a modular approach to music
No full textThe commentary deals with the two principal areas of my compositional work from 1996-
2003: short pieces and modularity. Taking a survey of compositional durations as a starting point,
assumptions related to duration are discussed in the context of extremely long and short pieces by
Feldman, Jliat, Webern and Werder. The effect of duration on form, structure, listening and the
practicalities of performance is considered in relation to memory and our perception of duration,
suggesting a range of possible solutions to the problem of composing short pieces. These issues are
examined in the context of my own work in composing short pieces (1996-2000), leading to a
consideration of an effective performance practice and the transition to the use of short pieces as
modules in a larger compositional framework.
The consequent development of a fully modular approach to music is contextualised through
an examination of modular theory in a manufacturing context, leading to analysis of a range of
examples of modular and open form work in literature, visual art and music. Differences between
open and closed forms of modularity are explored along with the effect of a modular approach on
creative work. These theoretical and practical issues are discussed in relation to my modular
composition #[unassigned] (2000- ), surveying its development from groups of short pieces. The
compositional method is explained, examining the creation of a modular interface and types of
modules and their re-use, through examples of existing versions
