No full textThe author has devoted her life to matters relating to communication, whether in business contexts, or as a mediator, trainer and moderator.The trilogy “Lili, do conflito à Mediação de Conflitos” aims to help create more informed citizens, starting from an early age, namely in terms of the new forms of solving conflicts.In the first book: “Lili and the conflicts” (“Lili e os Conflitos”), we find the theme of conflicts; how to deal with them; respect for the different other; to put oneself in the place of the other.In the second book: “Lili and Conflict Medition” (“Lili e a Mediação de Conflitos”), we find the space created by conflict mediation so the parts in conflict can be heard; the enormous need to listen to the other; the needed empathy so as to know the reality of the other.In the third and final book: “Lili and the Conflict Mediator” (“Lili e o Mediador de Conflitos”), we explain what it is to be a conflict mediator, this “new” profession, distinguishing it from other professions which also use the word “Mediator”.The author makes presentations of the books and its topics, bringing these issues to debate and making them known to the school environment, both to students and teachers, as well as staff and parents.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.</jats:sec

Essays on financial econometrics:
No full textThis dissertation comprises of three essays in financial econometrics. The first essay discusses the efficacy of alternative simulation models of the short term interest rate. This is done by constructing consistent specification tests that allow us to carry out a "horse-race" comparing various one, two, and three factor models (possiblely with jumps), across multiple historical sample periods. We find that the choice of model for simulating the future distribution of short rates is highly sample dependent, and structural breaks appear to be an important component to be considered.
The second essay presents a model that focuses on exploring the profitability of portfolio-based trading strategies that variously combine downside risk, momentum, and mean reversion by carrying out a series of pseudo real-time trading experiments using different combination trading strategies. We find, contrary to the existing literature, that momentum effects are sensitive to value and size factors. In particular, downside risk plays an important role when portfolios are sorted based on size and value.
The third essay re-examines the empirical linkage between macroeconomic variables and financial markets. Our evaluation focuses on the use of a large variety of state-of-the-art ex-ante predictive accuracy tests as well as more standard in-sample regression diagnostics. We observe substantive shifts in the dynamics of macroeconomic factor models, which have noteworthy effects on the predictive content of the factors when used to predict returns.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 84-88)by Lili Ca
To the Theatre!
No full textThe rubric Texts around Theatre features historical and contemporary cross-cultural and culture-specific perspectives on theatre – unexpectedly funky, unusually enthralling, disturbingly fascinating. https://www.aviva-verlag.de/autor-innen-co/lili-gr%C3%BCn/ Young Loni Holl, the protagonist in Lili Grün’s autobiographical novel, desires to become an actress. Only the theatre gives Loni the feeling of escape from her boring day to day life. She pursues her goal with determination, and a theatre engagement in the province seems to be the long-awaited chance for her debut. She straddles rehearsals, performances and private life; learning her lines, paying her rent, and allaying her hunger. The following excerpt from Grün’s novel , first published in 1935, traces Loni’s first steps on the stage that means the world to her. Apart from Zum Theater, Lili Grün also wrote the cabaret novel Herz über Bord (now in a new edition as Alles ist Jazz) in 1993. Mädchenhimmel, a collection of poems and stories was first published in 2014. Her novel Junge Bürokraft übernimmt auch andere Arbeit ..., first published 1936/37 in the newspaper “Der Wiener Tag”, was issued in book format in 2016 (all edited by Anke Heimberg). As a Jewish author, Lili Grün was not allowed to publish after 1938. In 1942, she ..

Nú býr Lili á Íslandi : greinargerð með barnabók fyrir fjöltyngdar íslenskar fjölskyldur
No full textLokaverkefni þetta samanstendur af barnabókinni Nú býr Lili á Íslandi og fræðilegri greinargerð. Markmið verkefnisins var að skapa barnabók sérstaklega tileinkaða fjöltyngdum íslenskum börnum og foreldrum þeirra. Bókin stuðlar að þremur þáttum: að veita innsýn í íslenska menningu; þjálfa íslenskan orðaforða og; að miðla upplýsingum í tengslum við fyrri þættina tvo. Henni er skipt í tvo hluti, söguna um Lili og fróðleik og ábendingar fyrir foreldra. Bókin er skrifuð á einföldu íslensku máli svo hún henti sem stærstum hópi barna og foreldra.
Fyrri hluti bókarinnar segir söguna af sex ára gamalli stúlku sem heitir Lili. Lili er hálf íslensk og hálf suðurafrísk. Hún hefur búið í Afríku allt sitt líf en er nýflutt til Íslands með foreldrum sínum. Kaflar sögunnar eru til að kynna Lili íslenskri menningu og daglegu lífi barna á Íslandi. Lili fer til að mynda í sund, heimsækir ömmu sína og afa og upplifir í fyrsta skipti snjókomu. Myndskreytingar eru eftir listakonuna Hannah McDonald og voru unnar í nánu samstarfi við höfund bókarinnar. Seinni hluti bókarinnar inniheldur kafla með fróðleik og ábendingum fyrir foreldra. Þeir dýpka hvern sögukafla, skýra frekar ýmsa menningarlega þætti og gefa hugmyndir um hluti sem foreldrar og börn geta gert saman, svo sem að elda kjötsúpu eftir góðri uppskrift sem þar er að finna.
Lokaverkefnið var unnin út frá eftirfarandi rannsóknarspurningum: Hvernig fer sköpun á barnabókinni Nú býr Lili á Íslandi fram? Á hvaða hátt getur bókin Nú býr Lili á Íslandi stuðlað að upplýsingum um íslenska menningu fyrir fjöltyngd börn og foreldra þeirra, ásamt því að kenna íslenskan orðaforða? Í þessari greinargerð er fyrst fjallað um kenningar og rannsóknir sem tengjast börnum og fjöltyngi, lestrarnámi og orðaforðaþjálfun sem bókarskrifin byggja á. Því næst er fjallað um gerð bókarinnar Nú býr Lili á Íslandi, innihald hennar og samvinnu höfundar við myndskreytara.The present thesis comprises the children’s book Nú býr Lili á Íslandi and the academic report alongside. The main goal of the project was to develop a children’s book with a focus on plurilingual children and their parents. The book was created aiming to cover three main purposes: i) to give insight into Iceland culture, ii) to train Icelandic vocabulary and iii) to provide further information connected to the previous two aspects. The book is divided into two sections: the story about Lili and chapters with information and suggestions for parents. Furthermore, the book has been written in a simple Icelandic language in order to maximize its reachability among children and parents.
The first part of the book tells the story of a six years old girl called Lili. Lili, who is half Icelandic and half South African, has lived in Africa all her life and has just moved to Iceland with her parents. The story is a composition of chapters that introduce Lili to different aspects of Icelandic culture and how daily life of children in Iceland works: some examples are when Lili goes to the swimming pool, visits her Icelandic grandparents or experiences snow for the first time. The story includes illustrations made by artist Hannah McDonald, drawn in close collaboration with the author of the book during the creative process. The second part of the book consists of chapters containing information and suggestions about the different topics covered in the story. They expand the chapters of the story by explaining some of the cultural events as well as providing ideas for parents such as cooking Icelandic meat soup according to a given recipe.
The present academic report first formulates the research questions that the project attempts to answer: How is the creative process of the children´s book Nú býr Lili á Íslandi carried out? In which way can the book Nú býr Lili á Íslandi give plurilingual children and their parents information about Icelandic culture, as well as train vocabulary? To answer these questions, the report discusses different theories and research connected to children and plurilingualism, presenting the vocabulary training and reading techniques that the writing of Nú býr Lili á Íslandi is built upon. The report then focuses on the creation of Nú býr Lili á Íslandi, its content and the collaboration process between the author and the illustrator

Foreign Direct Investment and Value Added in Indonesia
No full textForeign Direct Investment (FDI) has increased in importance over the last decades, globally as well as in Indonesia. We examine how such inflows of FDI affects value added in Indonesia. The effect is positive: foreign firms generate relatively high levels of value added and they also seem to have a positive impact on value added in local firms. Moreover, FDI contribute to a structural change of the economy towards more high-value added activities. High value added could lead to increased investments and higher tax revenues for the government. High value added could also benefit labor through higher wages, an effect that is empirically confirmed in Indonesia
The Indonesian Economy
No full textAgainst the backdrop of growing anti-globalisation sentiments and increasing fragmentation of the production process across countries, this book addresses how the Indonesian economy should respond and how Indonesia should shape its trade and industrial policies in this new world trade environment. The book introduces evaluation not on tariffs but on new trade instruments such as non-tariff measures (SPS, TBT, export measures and beyond border measures), and looks at industrial policies from a broader perspective such as investment, accessing inputs, labour, services, research and innovation policies. “The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/10.4324/9781315161976, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.
