Globalization and World financial Turmoil - A Test for Israel's Economic Policy
No full textThe World financial turmoil,that beset emerging economies during much of 1997 and culminated after the Russian crisis in the second half of 1998,presents an interesting test case for economic policy in an open economy.Israel's policy response was radical,and -with the benefit of hindsight -successful in maintaining and reinforcing stability,when the odds of many emerging economies,such as Israel,were clearly at risk.Indeed several emerging markets suffered a severe setback in output,a deep and sometimes contagious fall in the value of stocks and a sharp depreciation in their exchange rates,when the world financial crisis evolved.National policy mistakes were punished by rapid capital flight,spearheaded by foreign investors and accompanied by a loss of these countries'international creditworthiness. What can we learn from Israel's experience in the late 1990s? Lesson #1:Macroeconomic stability must be maintained continually. Lesson #2:Enhance the Flexibility of the Exchange Rate Regime Lesson #3:A nominal appreciation can be consistent with a real depreciationFinancial stability; Israel; Financial Vulnerability; Globalization; Sustainable Macroeconomic policy; Financial Liberalization

Articulating the Teacher: Gottlieb, Dreyfus, and Heidegger on Language
No full textStandardization has become a ubiquitous feature in the field of education both through federal initiatives, such as the establishment of “best practices” distilled from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and through private businesses and non-profits, such as Facebook and the Gates Foundation, which create and disseminate prefabricated curricula and standardized software programs. Standardization requires, as a precondition, the generalization of research findings from a smaller subset of teachers, students, or schools, to the field of education in its entirety. This dissertation investigates whether generalization of this sort is possible or desirable. After explaining why current critiques of educational generalization are insufficient, the author argues that, though generalizing from RCTs is ontologically precluded, generalization of a different sort is both possible and desirable. The author employs Martin Heidegger’s ontological analysis of language to argue for a weak form of generalizability that avoids the extremes of RCT-based best practices while allowing teaching to be discussed across spatial and temporal locations.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Educational Policy Studie
Ready for the \u27After Party\u27 : Music Carried Power-Pop Pro Kurt Baker Through Madrid Lockdown
No full textPortland\u27s Kurt Baker featured in the Boston Herald Arts Section (The Edge), following the release of his album, After Party.
Author Jed Gottlieb wrote:
Over the past few years, Baker has focused on recording with his Spanish backing band — he fell right into Madrid\u27s power pop, punk and pub rock scene after doing an acoustic tour of the country in 2014. But for “After Party,” he reunited with many of his old Portland buddies, including Funderburk, guitarist Geoff Palmer and bassist Kris Rodgers.Writing with Funderburk in Maine last summer, Baker came up with a set of songs that play out like a long, wild night on the town, complete with lounge numbers and retro rave ups.

Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, a zsidó konyha első szakírója = Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, a Pioneer in Writing About Jewish Food
No full textMoritz Gottlieb Saphir (1795−1858), magyar származású osztrák író a zsidó ételekről szóló írások úttörője volt. 1847-ben megjelentette Die Gastronomie der Juden (A zsidók gasztronómiája) című írását, amely valószínűleg az első olyan tanulmány, amely kizárólag az askenázi zsidó konyha hagyományos ételeivel foglalkozik. Emellett 1840-ben Saphir írta az első recenziót egy zsidó szakácskönyvről, 1852-ben pedig az első zsidó étteremről szóló kritikát. A XIX. század előtti források – például az ünnepekről szóló könyvek, emlékiratok, rabbinikus határozatok stb. –, ha zsidó ételekről tartalmaznak információkat, azokat kivétel nélkül vallási kontextusban írják le. Ezzel szemben Saphir megközelítése világi és kulturális szempontú: az akkulturáció által veszélyeztetett zsidó étkezési hagyományokat akarta megörökíteni. Több mint valószínű, hogy Saphir volt az első, aki ilyen jellegű cikkeket publikált, munkássága mintegy ötven évvel megelőzi a zsidó étkezési hagyományok kutatásának első, hasonlóan antropológiai megközelítésű munkáit. = Hungarian-born Austrian writer Moritz Gottlieb Saphir (1795‒1858) was a pioneer of writing about Jewish food. In 1847, he was the author of The Gastronomy of Jews, probably the first study solely dedicated to the traditional dishes of Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. In addition, in 1840 he wrote the first press review of a Jewish cookbook and in 1852 the first review of a Jewish restaurant. When sources before the nineteenth century – such as books about holidays, memoirs, rabbinical decisions, etc. – included information about Jewish food, they invariably described it within a religious context. In contrast, Saphir’s approach was secular and cultural: he wanted to record Jewish food traditions threatened by acculturation, to find the authentically national in the vernacular. Not only is it likely that Saphir was the first person to publish articles of this kind, but his work predates the first works with a similarly anthropological approach to the research of Jewish food traditions by about fifty years
Gottlieb Burckhardt (1836-1907): 19th-Century Pioneer of Psychosurgery
No full textGottlieb Burckhardt was a 19th-century Swiss psychiatrist who introduced the psychosurgical method known as topectomy as a means to relieve the symptoms of aggression and agitation in individuals diagnosed with mental disease. Specifically, he performed topical excision of part of the cerebral cortex on 6 patients with chronic schizophrenia. Most of these patients became more approachable and easier to manage, but they also showed signs of aphasia or seizures, and 2 died soon after the surgery. Burckhardt’s presentation of the results of his surgical procedures to the Berlin Medical Congress in 1890 caused an enormous controversy within the European medical community and resulted in his ostracism from it. He continued practicing, however and dispensing advice in his role as a mental hospital director, though he soon gave up his surgical endeavours. His innovative theory of higher cerebral functions anticipated the lobotomy procedure that was developed nearly half a century later by the neurologist Egas Moniz (1874-1955). © The Author(s) 2020
