Jacob Viner’s Reminiscences from the New Deal (February 11, 1953)
No full textThis paper presents and reproduces an unpublished oral history interview given by Jacob Viner in 1953. The interview released by Viner for the Columbia Oral History Project gives us a valuable opportunity to throw light on his advisory activity during the New Deal Era. In our introduction we attempt to make a critical appraisal of Viner's reminiscences and to state the contribution they can provide to our general knowledge of the period. In addition, we also attempt to find out some biographical and interpretative elements useful to understand Viner’s own vision and his contribution to important economic policy processes during the New Deal.
Harvard meets the crisis: U.S. fiscal policy in the 1930s and the political economy of Lauchlin B. Currie, Jacob Viner, John H. Williams and Harry D. White
No full textThe paper aims to describe the contribution of four Harvard economists to the interpretation of the Great Depression and the policy decision making from 1933 to 1938. Lauchlin B. Currie, Jacob Viner, John H. Williams, Harry D. White, eminent scholars in the field of monetary and international economics, were deeply involved in policy decisions during the New Deal. In our synoptic analysis we will benefit from extensive scholarly work that has been provided in the last few years. We shall examine the extensive biographical connection between Currie, Viner, White and Williams with special regard to their common training at Harvard. Then we shall compare their interpretations of the causes of crisis and their proposals in fiscal, monetary and banking policy. Finally, we shall describe their advisory activity in the Roosevelt administration and try to assess their influence.Great Depression; Monetary Theory; Monetary Policy; Fiscal Policy, Keynesism

(MMBC). Differential diagnosis. Arhaphe mimetica is characteristic by its small and glabrous body (3: 5.40–5.72 mm, ƤƤ: 6.10–6.53 mm), but remaining Arhaphe species living in the USA are distinctly pilose and larger (3: 7.24–9.34 mm, ƤƤ: 8.69–10.04 mm). (See also the Key above). Taxonomy. Barber (1911) described the species in the genus Arhaphe and considered Japetus Distant to be identical with Arhaphe. However, he later changed his mind, revalidated Japetus, and transferred A. mimetica to this genus (Barber 1924). However, A. mimetica fits all the characters within the generic limits of Arhaphe, including the typical shape of abdomen, which is quite different from Pararhaphe. Based on this evidence we restore the original generic placement of A. mimetica in Arhaphe. Bliven (1973: 129) wilfully synonymised Arhaphe capitata with Japetus mimeticus but did not provide any reasoning for such an act. Brailovsky (1981) treated A. capitata as a valid species, however, but with no comment on Bliven‘s (1973) opinion. The senior author has examined 14 specimens of A. capitata, and we can therefore confirm that it is a valid species different from A. mimetica (see also photo of A. capitata in Brailovsky (1981)). Biology and ecology. The specimens of the type series were found very commonly in company with A. arguta running about among the dead leaves beneath the trees, imitating very closely, especially in their larval and nymphal condition, some of the numerous black ants (Barber 1911). According to Torre-Bueno (1942), it has been taken concealed in dry leaves under an oak, in the Santa Rita foothills; one nymph was collected on November 2. A fifth instar was described and illustrated by Bergroth (1921). Distribution. The species is known only from a very limited area in USA: south Arizona (Atascosa Mts., Huachuca Mts., Santa Rita Mts.) (Barber 1911, Torre-Bueno 1942, Halstead 1972, Henry 1988). The record from Oaxaca (central Mexico) (Brailovsky & Marquez 1974) is doubtful and needs confirmation.Published as part of Stehlík, Jaroslav L. & Kment, Petr, 2011, Redescription of Pararhaphe and review of Arhaphe (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae) of America north of Mexico, pp. 35-54 in Zootaxa 3058 on pages 48-49, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20151

ExoMol line lists - III. An improved hot rotation-vibration line list for HCN and HNC
No full textA revised rotation-vibration line list for the combined hydrogen cyanide (HCN)/hydrogen isocyanide (HNC) system is presented. The line list uses ab initio transition intensities calculated previously and extensive data sets of recently measured experimental energy levels. The resulting line list has significantly more accurate wavelengths than previous ones for these systems. An improved value for the separation between HCN and HNC is adopted, leading to an approximately 25 per cent lower predicted thermal population of HNC as a function of temperature in the key 2000 to 3000 K region. Temperature-dependent partition functions and equilibrium constants are presented. The line lists are validated by comparison with laboratory spectra and are presented in full as supplementary data to the article and at www.exomol.com

Clinician-client perceptions of the therapeutic alliance and perceived outcomes in stuttering treatment
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the therapeutic alliances (TA) of graduate student clinicians and adult clients who stutter relative to perceived treatment outcomes. Methods: Student clinicians (N = 37), adult clients who stutter (N = 21), and clinician-client dyads extracted from the greater sample (N = 10 pairs) completed a survey assessing their TA strength and perception of treatment outcomes. Clinician and client responses were analyzed to determine similarities, differences, and predictors of TA strength. Results: Results suggest that clinicians and clients who stutter both relate the TA to treatment outcome, but in different ways. While clinicians closely associate the TA with treatment effectiveness and client progress, clients relate the TA most to outcome satisfaction. There seems to be no predictor to determine how a client or student clinician perceives the TA. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware that for adult clients who stutter, outcome satisfaction is strongly related to the degree of shared understanding, agreement on daily tasks, and bond they experience with their clinician. To ensure a strong TA and client satisfaction, clinicians should actively seek their clients perspective regarding TA status
Conserving or changing? The theology and politics of Northern Irish fundamentalist and evangelical Protestants after the Good Friday Agreement
No full textSome of the most severe opposition to the Good Friday agreement has come from the unionist community, particularly those classified as fundamentalist Protestants. This paper seeks to correct the overemphasis on fundamentalism, exploring the relationship between fundamentalist and evangelical Protestants in Northern Ireland. Through a case study of 20 members of the Queen’s University Belfast Christian Union, the author explores issues such as theological belief, political belief, and modes of political and perceived personal trajectory. The paper concludes with an exploration of the prospects for fundamentalists, and the role of evangelicals in fostering social change amongst the Protestant communities in Northern Ireland.Not applicableti ab ke - 100706 RB
Mapping Developmental Precursors of Cyber-Aggression: Trajectories of Risk Predict Perpetration and Victimization
No full textTechnologically mediated contexts are social arenas in which adolescents can be both perpetrators and victims of aggression. Yet, there remains little understanding of the developmental etiology of cyber aggression, itself, as experienced by either perpetrators or victims. The current study examines 3-year latent within-person trajectories of known correlates of cyber-aggression: problem behavior, (low) self-esteem, and depressed mood, in a large and diverse sample of youth (N = 1,364; 54.6 % female; 12–14 years old at T1). Findings demonstrate that developmental increases in problem behavior across grades 8–10 predict both cyber-perpetration and victimization in grade 11. Developmental decreases in self-esteem also predicted both grade 11 perpetration and victimization. Finally, early depressed mood predicted both perpetration and victimization later on, regardless of developmental change in depressed mood in the interim. Our results reveal a clear link between risky developmental trajectories across the early high school years and later cyber-aggression and imply that mitigating trajectories of risk early on may lead to decreases in cyber-aggression at a later date
