HUMAN CAPITAL DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
No full textThis paper extends the literature on economic growth and demographic change by developing a neo-classical model of endogenous growth in which both economic and demographic outcomes are jointly determined. The key point in this model is the endogenisation of child mortality rate by linking it to parents¡¯ human capital, defined in a broad sense to include both education and health. The numerical simulation of this model confirms that as economic development takes place there will be a decline in child mortality rate followed by similar trend in fertility rate, hence, population growth rate.Demographic Transition, Human Capital, Economic Growth, Mortality, Fertility

A folkloristic image of homeland in the novel „The Issa valley“ by Czesław Miłosz
No full texte-ISSN 2029-8692The article reveals that the novel The Issa valley by Czesław Miłosz aims to represent the Issa valley as a preserver of an archaic cultural heritage, mainly by using folklore genres which have preserved mythical thinking (mythological songs, belief legends and historical legends). It may be observed that nearly all folklore material at least in some detail is associated with the river Issa – the fulcrum of the represented world. In the novel, folklore material is employed when the author seeks to reveal a junction of paganism and Christianity and the battle between them, which continues both in the collective world outlook of the inhabitants of the Issa valley and in the inner world of a particular person. Orienting himself to folkloristic prototypes, the author in his novel epitomizes individual characters. Moreover, the article discloses that mythological songs about the Sun and the Moon, which in the novel are introduced as registered on the river Issa (Nevėžis is a prototype of Issa), in reality are taken from a song collection by L. Rėza Dainos oder Litthauische Volkslieder (1825), published in Lithuania Minor.Kultūrų studijų katedra / Department of Cultural StudiesHumanitarinių mokslų fakultetas / Faculty of HumanitiesVytauto Didžiojo universitetas / Vytautas Magnus Universit
Endogenous Health Investment, Saving and Growth - A theoretical study with an application to Chinese data
No full textThe idea behind this thesis stems from the existing abundance of empirical studies suggesting the strong correlation between longevity and economic growth. In a simple two period overlappinggeneration framework, we establish a direct link between health investment and economic growth through endogenous survival rate. We find that health expenditure complements saving in equilibrium, thereby contributes to economic growth, which in turn leads to a further increase in health investment. The simulation with calibrated parameters also manifests the consistence between our results and the worldwide data as well as the fact of China.health investment; economic growth; China
PEMAKNAAN SIMBOL MATSU (マツ) DALAM ANTOLOGI HAIKU ISSA AND BEING HUMAN KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA 「Issa And Being Human」という俳句のアンソロジにおけるマツのシンボの意味『記号論研究』
No full textABSTRACT
Azzahra, Qonita. 2018. "Meaning of the Matsu Symbol (マツ) in the Anthology of Haiku Issa And Being Human Semiotics Study". Thesis S1 Japanese Language and Culture Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Diponegoro University. Supervisor Nur Hastuti, S.S., M.Hum.
This study examines the meaning of the pine symbol found in Kobayashi Issa's haiku and the relation between the pine symbol and the background of Issa's life. The author will analyze five haiku which contain pine symbols, from the anthology of Issa And Being Human Haiku (Lanoue in 2017). This study aims to find the meaning of pine symbols and how they relate to the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa.
The method used in this study is literature study. Whereas to analyze the meaning of the pine symbol found in haiku, uses the semiotic theory of C.S. Peirce. After knowing the true meaning of the pine symbol, the author then relates it to the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa. This way is to find out if there is a connection between the pine symbols and the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa.
From the analysis, it is known that the symbol of pine could mean strength, fortitude, kindness, longevity, and a bright future / luck. While the relationship between the pine symbol and the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa is as a description of the properties that Issa has or wants. Living side by side with pine trees makes Issa very understanding of the true characters of pine. That is why he put a lot of pine symbols into his haiku to describe his own nature.

A contribution to the study of Gnathia ware from Issa
No full textKeramika tipa Gnathia pronađena je na 38 nalazišta duž istočne
obale Jadrana i bliže mu unutrašnjosti. Ipak, najviše posuda te
keramičke vrste pronađeno je u antičkoj Isi. Brojnost i određene
značajke u obliku i ukrasu na posudama iz Ise otvorile su
pretpostavku o lokalnoj isejskoj proizvodnji keramike tipa
Gnathia. Prvi je tu pretpostavku iznio Branko Kirigin. Na temelju
proučavanja grobnog inventara s nekropole na Martvilu u Visu
podijelio je posude tipa Gnathia iz Ise u četiri faze. Autorica je
pomoću arheoloških komparativnih metoda analize dekoracije i
morfologije na svim dosad objavljenim posudama ove vrste na
istočnom Jadranu usporedila novije spoznaje o ovoj keramičkoj
vrsti s Kiriginovim tezama. Također je ponudila razvoj tipologije
posuda isejske keramike tipa Gnathia unutar kronološkog okvira
od sredine 3. do kraja 2. st. pr. Kr.Gnathia ware was found at 38 sites on the eastern Adriatic coast
and its immediate interior. Nonetheless, the most vessels of this
pottery type were found in Antique-era Issa. The high number
and specific characteristics in the shape and ornamentation on
the vessels from Issa have led to the hypothesis on local Issa
production of this pottery type. Branko Kirigin first stated this
hypothesis on the basis of study of the tomb inventory from the
necropolis at Martvilo in Vis, dividing the Gnathia vessels from
Issa into four phases. Using stylistic methods for the attribution
of painters and groups, analysis of morphology on all vessels thus
far published in the eastern Adriatic, the author compared new
knowledge on this pottery type with Kirigin’s theses. She also offers
a development of the typology of the Issa Gnathia ware vessels
inside a chronological framework from the mid-third to the end of
the second century BC
The Endurance of Palestinian Political Factions
No full textThe Endurance of Palestinian Political Factions is an ethnographic study of Palestinian political factions in Lebanon through an immersion in daily home life. Perla Issa asks how political factions remain the center of political life in the Palestinian camps in the face of mounting criticism. Through an examination of the daily, mundane practices of refugees in Nahr el-Bared camp in particular, this book shows how intimate, interpersonal, and kin-based relations are transformed into political networks and offers a fresh analysis of how those networks are in turn metamorphosed into political structures. By providing a detailed and intimate account of this process, this book reveals how factions are produced and reproduced in everyday life despite widespread condemnation. “Utilizing rich ethnographic fieldwork, Perla Issa provides an engaging analysis of Palestinian factions in the refugee camp of Nahr el-Bared. Her book illuminates the centrality of political factions to quotidian social interactions and the rhythms of everyday life.” Adam Hanieh, author of Money, Markets, and Monarchies: The Gulf Cooperation Council and the Political Economy of the Contemporary Middle East “How do political factions maintain centrality in Palestinian political life even when they are widely unpopular and even delegitimized? How are such factions reproduced in the face of widespread condemnation? The questions that animate this manuscript are vitally important.” Ilana Feldman, author of Life Lived in Relief: Humanitarian Predicaments and Palestinian Refugee Politic
