Competition in regulated industries
No full textEleven papers analyze and draw some preliminary lessons from the British experience in introducing competition into regulated industries. Part 1 provides an overview, discussing regulation, competition, and the structure of prices and network industries. Part 2 focuses on the electricity industry in England and Wales and U.K. experiences with the introduction of competition in the gas industry, telecommunications, the water industry, and the rail industry. Part 3 provides the regulators' perspective on the generation and supply of electricity, the regulation of telecommunications, competition in the water and sewerage industry, and competition in the rail industry. Contributors are mainly economists and some are regulators. Helm is at New College, Oxford. Jenkinson is at the University of Oxford and at Keble College. Bibliography; index

‘Ainm bréige go dtiocfad fíor’ Filíocht Bhiddy Jenkinson agus Teoiric na Feiniméaneolaíochta
No full textCuirim romham sa tráchtas seo staidéar a dhéanamh ar fhilíocht agus ar fhealsúnacht fhileata an scríbhneora, Biddy Jenkinson. Is duine de mhórscríbhneoirí na Nua-Ghaeilge í. Is ainm cleite é an t-ainm Biddy Jenkinson, rud a fhágann go bhfuil mistéir ar leith ag baint leis an scríbhneoir ildánach seo. Sa tráchtas seo, déanfar an cur chuige feiniméaneolaíoch a chur i bhfeidhm ar fhilíocht Bhiddy Jenkinson. Is teoiric fhealsúnach í an fheiniméaneolaíocht a dhéanann anailís chórasach ar an gcomhfhios.
Déanann an fheiniméaneolaíocht, mar sin, scrúdú ar mhórcheisteanna fealsúnacha na tuisceana agus an eolais. Díreofar sa tráchtas seo ar an mbealach go ndéanann Jenkinson anailís ar phróiseas a cuid tuisceana féin ina saothar fileata trí chéile. Deir Jenkinson: ‘Níl rogha ag an intinn fhiafraitheach ach a bheith ar thóir feasa - agus is deacair intinn fhileata nach intinn fhiafraitheach í, a shamhlú. "Cad chuige, Cén chaoi”?’1
Déanann an fheiniméaneolaíocht staidéar ar an gcomhfhreagras idir comhfhios an duine agus an domhan. Sa teoiric fheiniméaneolaíoch, cuirtear an ‘lifeworld’ nó an saoldomhan ar an tuiscint atá againn trí mheán an chomhfheasa ar an saol agus ar an domhan. Déanfar staidéar ar an gcaoi go n-eascraíonn léargaisí spéisiúla d’fhealsúnacht fhileata Jenkinson as an gcomhfhreagras atá le rianú idir comhfhios shuibiacht scríbhneoireachta na ndánta seo agus an domhan.
Coincheap lárnach sa tráchtas seo is ea an tsuibiacht i bhfilíocht Bhiddy Jenkinson. Pléifear an chaoi go dtagann suibiacht scríbhneoireachta na ndánta seo i láthair i mbealaí éagsúla agus suntasacha mar gheall ar úsáid an ainm chleite. Déanfar plé, chomh maith céanna, ar an idirghabháil idir suibiachtaí – an idirshuibiachtúlacht - ar téarma feiniméaneolaíoch é. Díreofar ar an gcaoi gur claonadh lárnach i bhfilíocht Bhiddy Jenkinson é a léargas ar an idirshuibiachtúlacht.
Cuid lárnach den tráchtas seo ná an cúram a dhéanann Jenkinson den teanga agus den traidisiún Gaeilge.

‘Cé hí siúd Biddy Jenkinson?’: freagra an fhile ina saothar neamhfhicsin
No full textIn ainneoin a bisiúlachta agus a stádais mar dhuine de mhórscríbhneoirí Gaeilge na linne, is beag atá scríofa ar mhodh oibre Bhiddy Jenkinson. Na scoláirí a chuaigh i ngleic le filíocht Jenkinson go dtí seo, ghlac siad go misniúil le dúshlán an fhile (1988: 51) gan foinsí seachtracha a tharraingt isteach agus dán dá cuid faoi chaibidil. Mionanailís laistigh de phriosma an dáin nó na ndánta is mó a chleacht siad dá bhrí sin. Sa pháipéar seo brisim an nós sin agus seachnaím, den chuid is mó, aon phlé ar scríbhneoireacht chruthaitheach Jenkinson. Ina ionad sin, is é aidhm an pháipéir ná scéal suimiúil a teacht chun solais a insint agus iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar a causa scribendi mar a léirítear é ina saothar neamhfhicsin. Féachaim leis an mhéid sin a dhéanamh gan teacht salach ar mhian an fhile gan ‘míniú’ beathaisnéise a lorg dá saothar. Tá an t-alt seo roinnte ina thrí chuid. Tugann cuid a haon cuntas gasta stairiúil ar an mhistéir a bhain le persona fileata Jenkinson sna luathbhlianta. Déanann cuid a dó anailís ar na tuairimí a thagann chun tosaigh arís agus arís eile ina cuid aistí agus in agallaimh léi. Ar deireadh, luaitear duáilcí na filíochta a gcuireann Jenkinson go láidir ina gcoinne ina saothar neamhfhicsin

Thomas Jenkinson Woodward, Bungay, [Suffolk], to James Edward Smith
No full textThanks for Smith's letter of 4 November [1797]; pleased by account of favourable turn in [Mariamne] Johnes condition; recommends book just published in Paris detailing similar cases, "Observations sur la nature et sur le traitment du Rachitisme, pur M. Poral". Steady recovery of Mrs Manning [Woodward's mother-in-law], in spite of her old age.
Reexamined all his 'Bromus' specimens and found that 'B. erectus' is ciliated; notes on this. [John] Stackhouse has a new 'Medusa' for Smith, and a nondescript bird with description for Linnean Society [see RelatedMaterial below]. Glad Oxford has a professor "more liberal minded" than [John] Sibthorp; "mysteries & secrets in scientific matters never answer any other purpose than to hurt the character of the person who deals in them". Thinks the 'Tordglium maximum' and 'T. officinale' must be erroneous, knowing that the habitats given for them are the same place
Thomas Jenkinson Woodward, Bungay, [Suffolk], to James Edward Smith
No full textSends specimens for [Samuel] Goodenough, including: 'Orobance ramosa' near Bungay; 'Lobelia urens' Shute Common, Devon; 'Galium pusillum' Matlock, Derbyshire; 'Melampyrum arvense' near Norwich, Norfolk; 'Marchantia conica' Bungay; 'Lycopodium alpinum' Old Man of Coniston, Lancashire, the hill evidently a former volcano; and 'Astriplex pedunculata'. Sends 'Orobance ramosa' for Sir Joseph Banks, [James] Dickson, and [William] Curtis and will send Banks Norwich specimen of 'Bromus arvense' when found. Sends Smith possible variety of 'Ervum tetraspermum'.
Examined [Albrecht von] Haller's plates and descriptions according to [William] Hudson's reference; notes. List of his Hudson desiderata: 'Poa alpinia', 'Juncus filiformis', 'Elatine alsinastrum', 'Orchis corioptore', 'Salyrium hircitrum', 'Carex limosa', and 'Carex strigosa' are marked. Sends Smith specimens of 'Marchantia conica'. His bookseller, T Miller, reports from Portland sale that lots sold cheap, that Da Costa was a great buyer, and Royal Admiral shells sold for £1 6s 9d each
