Karl Polanyi’s the great transformation: Perverse effects, protectionism and gemeinschaft
No full textDrawing upon Karl Polanyi’s journalistic writings and unpublished lectures from the 1920s and 1930s, this article reconstructs the lineaments of his research programme that was to assume its finished form in The Great Transformation. It identifies and corrects a common misinterpretation of the thesis of that book, and argues that Polanyi’s basic theoretical framework is best conceived as Tönniesian: the ‘protective counter-movement’ of The Great Transformation is Gemeinschaft, understood dynamically, while the market society is Gesellschaft. It examines the two central mechanisms by which, in Polanyi’s understanding, Gesellschaft broke down in the mid-twentieth century: the ‘clash between democracy and capitalism,’ and a doctrine of ‘perverse effects’ whereby political intervention in markets impairs profitability and saps the vitality of the market system

Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
Full text linkThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories
Can reforming global institutions help developing countries share more in the benefits from globalization?
Full text linkGlobalization could significantly expand trade, international investment, and technological advances, but the gains from global integration have been unevenly distributed across and within nations. Greater global interdependence has also brought greater macroeconomic volatility, resulting in several serious financial crises in the second half of the 1990s. The global matrix of Bretton Woods and United Nations institutions that developed starting in the 1940s, formed under a different balance of power, in a world of fixed exchange rates and limited capital mobility. Since the 1960s regional financial institutions have emerged because of the greater autonomy of different regions and the greater financial needs of development. The author reviews different proposals for reform of the international financial institutions and changes in the roles of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. He highlights the implications for developing countries of (1) Policy conditionality. (2) The countercyclical role of multilaterals'lending. (3) Greater lending to middle-income than to low-income developing countries. (3) Access to liquidity at times of crisis. (4) Mechanisms for giving low-income countries a greater voice in IMF and World Bank decisionmaking. The author streses the overlapping responsibilities of the Bretton Woods and regional financial institutions and the need to reassess the allocation of responsibilities and to develop better coordination mechanisms between these institutions. Those designing institutional reform must consider the corporate capabilities of each type of institution. The corporate cultures of global and regional institutions differ. So does the kind of knowledge they generate and disseminate, and so do patterns of interactions with, and mechanisms for representation of, client countries.Finally, the author calls attention to the need to harmonize national and global growth-oriented policies in a way that reduces volatility and promotes social equity.Environmental Economics&Policies,Governance Indicators,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform

The background behind the figure is pink and purple. The anthropomorphic fish-being is opening what appears to be a large grey sardine tin with its right hand, reveling the bodies of four small abstractly-rendered human figures. The deep, rectangular shape of the sardine tin is suggestive of a coffin. The figures in the tin are white, with legs, torsos, and heads adorned with straight lines for eyes. In the fish-figure’s left hand, it grasps with slayed fingers a small red coloured human figure with arms outstretched. The image is an early example of digital art. It has been computer-generated and printed; pixels and lines (from the printing process) are apparent on close viewing.The artist’s signature [Karl Spreitz] and date “94” have been written in pencil in the lower right corner. The work’s title, “MAN-DA-RINS” appears in pencil in the lower left
Kernaspekte van die kennissosiologie van Karl Mannheim
Full text linkThe author deals with certain crucial aspects of the sociology of knowledge of Karl Mannheim in view of the fact that he finds that the increase, worldwide, of interest in ideological difficulties in South Africa can fruitfully be dealt with in terms of this form of sociology. This is justified in part by Mannheim's viewpoint that thought is a function of human existence, and this function emanates from needs based on social factors. He traces Mannheim's use of the term ideology (in Sociology), culminating With the Idea that “the birth and death of ideology depends on certain social, economic and 'ecological' factors”. Subsequently he deals with a whole line of aspects of the sociology of knowledge as expounded by Mannheim, culminating in the idea that shifts in views with regard to lifeview and underlying values take place when there is a rapid upward (vertical) mobility, leading to uncertainties and a lack of trust in established values
Memo sent to Mr. Neustadt from Colonel W. F. Magill, Jr., Provost Marshal Western Defense Command and Fourth Army, April 4, 1942
No full textA memo sent to Mr. Neustadt from Colonel W. F. Magill, Jr. regarding travel during non-curfew hours. Proclamation No. 3 restricted what travel was permissible by German, Italian, and Japanese aliens in Military Area No. 1. The memo was posted by Karl R. Bendetsen, Assistant Chief of Staff, Civil Affairs Division, for the reference of all C. A. D. and Wartime Civil Control Administration staff.The War Relocation Authority (WRA), together with the Wartime Civil Control Administration (WCCA), the Civil Affairs Division (CAD) and the Office of the Commanding General (OFG) of the Western Defense Command (WDC) operated together to segregate and house some 110,000 men women and children from 1942 to 1945. The collection contains documents and photographs relating to the establishment and administrative workings of the (WDC), the (WRA) and the (WCCA) for the year 1942
Evaluating the mechanical and thermal performance of high-temperature low sag (HTLS) conductors: A comparative study of ACCC, ACSS, and ACSR conductors
Full text linkConventional aluminium overhead conductors like ACSR suffer from severe disadvantages in high-temperature situations: high sag, thermal limits, and increased energy losses. A laboratory-based study comparing the mechanical and thermal performance of two HTLS conductors, ACCC and ACSS with conventional ACSR conductors. Experimental testing and mathematical analysis confirm ACCC has greater performance in the areas of creep resistance, superior sag-tension-temperature stability, and stress-strain behaviour. The tension loss measurement of ACCC BERN at maximum temperature reaches nearly 50 %, indicating better performance than that ACSS (58–60 %) and ACSR DOTTEREL/GA (∼74 %). Ten-year creep strain of the ACCC's composite core is approximately 0.035 % which is better than the values for ACSS and ACSR samples which are 0.041–0.060 % and 0.047 %, respectively. The stress-strain analysis confirms ACCC's core is an elastic material that resists plastic deformation under cyclic loading. Real-world deployments validate that these attributes result in 27 % more aluminium and double the ampacity without additional structural change. The thirty-year long-term price analysis positions ACCC as the lowest total cost option. The study confirms that ACCC conductors are an advanced power grid solution that addresses sag related outages and failures, and provides lower maintenance and improved upgrades to the grid. This work gives the first direct comparison of HTLS conductors using established direct tests with critical benchmark conditions and suggests guidance for utilities interested in reliability and sustainability
