"The Consolidated Assistance Program, Reforming Welfare by Synchronizing Public Assistance Benefits"
No full textLevin-Waldman examines the structure of existing welfare programs and concludes that the current array of benefits could be synchronized and consolidated to create a new system that would provide economic incentives to work. He suggests combining elements of the earned income tax credit (EITC) and current welfare programs into one program, a consolidated assistance program (CAP). Levin-Waldman argues that a program composed of an assistance component (with one set of benefits for working parents and a different set for nonworking parents) and a child support component could be designed to assure minimal subsistence to those unable to work while providing incentives for those on welfare to work without, in effect, penalizing them for getting off welfare. Such a program would reform welfare more expeditiously than a plan that would simply expand the EITC or put a time limit on welfare benefits. Moreover, such a plan would not necessarily add to the national budget deficit.

Valor e paranóia em Bernardo Carvalho
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Este trabalho procura mapear as estratégias capazes de constituir uma identidade sem fundo e sempre movente na obra do escritor-crítico Bernardo Carvalho, cuja maior peculiaridade advém exatamente dessa posição dinâmica das personagens, com uma legitimidade marcada pela exata força da sua ambigüidade inerente. Isso está associado à dupla função do escritor # em um só tempo, legislador e objeto da crítica # já que se trata de um romancista que é também um crítico de arte. São tomadas, para tanto, as escritas, ficcionais e crítico-teóricas, publicadas entre os anos de 1996 a 2001, procurando sempre promover um diálogo entre ambas, no intuito de ver como o escritor-crítico articula suas propostas estéticas (veiculadas em sua obra ficcional) com seu discurso crítico-teórico (veiculadas na leitura de suas escolhas). A partir de sua forma de escrita ficcional, procurou-se articular três princípios estéticos que perpassam aquela dupla função do escritor: o fait divers, como figura de uma notícia, tal como apresentado por Roland Barthes, a paranóia , tal como, inicialmente, pensada em Lacan e elaborada como paranóia-crítica por Salvador Dali e, de um modo mais amplo, a refuncionalização do gênero policial, como fenômeno da romanesca do final do século XX
Oral History Interview: Henry Wortis (1371)

He details the group?s membership, activities, and relationship with the wider array of leftist political ideologies, emphasizing the growing division between the Old Left and youth in the LYL. This interview was originally conducted for the author?s research for Cold War University and has been submitted for inclusion into the UW-Madison Oral History Program
In Their Time: The Riddle Behind the Epistolary Friendship Between Ernest Hemingway and Ivan Kashkin
No full textDetails Hemingway’s relationship with his Russian translator, critic, epistolary friend, and later biographer Ivan Kashkin. Despite Kashkin’s merciless assessments of Hemingway’s mental health and writing, Hemingway remained loyal to his friend, honoring Kashkin by naming one of the Soviet fighters in For Whom the Bell Tolls after him. Suggesting that each author was the other’s alter ego, Levin examines Kashkin’s poetry and tragic life in the context of their shared generation

No full text14CO2 observations at Jungfraujoch high altitude research station in the Swiss Alps (3450m a.s.l.) and at Schauinsland observatory (1205 m a.s.l.) in the German Black Forest are conducted to monitor the background 14CO2 level over Europe and define the reference for regional estimates of fossil fuel CO2. The record is also used for post-bomb dating of organic material (e.g. forensic studies)
Hannah Arendt – Rahel Levin: duas biografias, sujeito e espelho
No full textEste artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a biografia de Rahel Levin produzida por Hannah Arendt com o intuito de abordar a complexidade desse exercício que revela tanto aspectos metodológicos, quanto dimensões sócio-antropológicas e intelectuais da autora e de seu tema. A análise desse trabalho biográfico, somada a outras fontes conduziu à descoberta de aspectos dos usos adotados por Arendt para o método biográfico, questões relacionadas à identidade e ao surgimento da categoria “indivíduo” na Europa a partir do século XVIII, ao lado de aspectos sutis do pensamento da biógrafa bem como suas relações com a mulher cuja vida a fascinou.AbstractThis article proposes a reflection about Hannah Arendt’s biography on Rahel Levin aiming to approach this complexity that reveals methodological, social-anthropological and intellectual aspects of both the author and her theme. The analyses of this biographic work along with other sources has taken to the discovery of Arendt’s biographic method, of issues related to identity and the birth of the “individual” category in Europe since the 18th century, sided to subtle aspects of the writer as well as her relations with Levin’s fascinating life.Key-Words: Hanna Arendt. Rahel Levin. Biographic Method. Individual. Identity. Romanticis
Moyshe Levin (Ber Sarin) of Yung-Vilne and His Solo Publishing Venture for Children
No full textMoshe [Moyshe] Levin, talented author and artist, was better known by his pseudonym Ber Sarin, the pen name he used when he wrote short Yiddish books in rhyme for children who were just beginning to read. He wrote the lively texts, illustrated them in color and black and white, and self-published many of them in Vilnius (Vilna) Lithuania in the 1930s. The books were popular and successful with teachers and children. He was a graduate of the Vladimir Medem Teachers’ Seminary, a teacher in the TSYSHO school system, and a member of Yung-Vilne .2017 is the 75th anniversary of Levin’s murder at the hands of the Nazis. Levin left behind a wife and daughter who also perished during the Holocaust. Levin’s literary legacy, the books themselves, survived in limited numbers in only a handful of libraries; some are now available on the web. This article includes a brief biography of Moshe ]Moyshe] Levin (Ber Sarin), an overview and discussion of his work for children, information on the current whereabouts of his works, and a bibliography with brief annotations of the works the author was able to view.</jats:p
Observations of atmospheric variability and soil exhalation rate of radon-222 at a Russian forest site - Technical approach and deployment for boundary layer studies
No full textA monitor for continuous observations of the atmospheric Rn-222 daughter activity has been improved and successfully implemented in a field study in the European Taiga (Fyodorovskoye Forest Reserve). The alpha-activity of the short-lived Rn-222 and Rn-220 (Pb-212) decay products, which are attached to aerosols, is accumulated on a quartz aerosol filter and assayed on line by alpha-spectroscopy. The alpha-activity from the Pb-212 daughters is determined by spectroscopy and corrected for. This monitor is suitable to measure Rn-222 activities at hourly resolution down to 0.5 Bq m(-3) with an uncertainty well below +/-20%. The prototype of this monitor is run in Heidelberg on the roof of the Institute's building about 20 m above ground. For this site, the atmospheric radioactive disequilibrium was determined between the Rn-222 daughter Po-214 and Rn-222, which has to be known in order to derive the atmospheric Rn-222 activity with the static filter method. We derived a mean disequilibrium Po-214/Rn-222 = 0.704 +/- 0.081 for various meteorological conditions through parallel Rn-222 gas measurements with a slow pulse ionisation chamber. At the Russian field site, continuous activity observations were performed from July 1998 until July 2000 with half a year's interruption in summer/fall 1999. During intensive campaigns, a second monitor was installed at Fyodorovskoye at 15.6 m (July/August 1998), and at 1.8 m (July/August 1999 and October 1999) above ground. As expected, pronounced diurnal cycles of the Rn-222 daughter activity were observed at all sites, particularly during summer when the vertical mixing conditions in the atmospheric surface layer vary strongly between day and night. The lower envelope of the continuous measurements at Fyodorovskoye and at Heidelberg changes on synoptic timescales by a factor of 4-10 due to long-range transport changes between continental to more maritime situations. Generally, the Rn-222 activity at 26.3 m height at Fyodorovskoye is lower by a factor of 2-3 compared to Heidelberg at 20 m above ground. This unexpected result is due to considerably lower Rn-222 exhalation rates from the soils measured in the footprint of the Fyodorovskoye Forest tower compared to Heidelberg. With the inverted chamber technique Rn-222 exhalation rates in the range 3.3-7.9 Bq m(-2) h(-1) were determined at Fyodorovskoye for summer 1998 and autumn 1999 (wet conditions with water table depths between 5 and 70 cm). Only during the very dry summer of 1999 the mean Rn-222 exhalation rate increased by about a factor of five. All measured exhalation rates at the Fyodorovskoye Forest are considerably smaller by a factor of 2-10 compared to observations in the vicinity of Heidelberg (ca 50-60 Bq m(-2) h(-1)) and generally in Western Europe
