Application of the IS-MP-IA model to the German economy and policy implications
No full textExtending the IS-MP-IA model developed by Romer (2000) and applying the GARCH (Engle, 1982, 2001) methodology, the author finds that equilibrium GDP in Germany is positively affected by stock market performance and real exchange rate appreciation, and negatively influenced by the expected inflation rate, the government deficit/GDP ratio, and the U.S. federal funds rate. The relatively low deficit/GDP ratio of 1.83% in 2003 indicates that its fiscal condition was healthy. However, some other EU members may need to exercise fiscal discipline. Because real appreciation has a positive impact on output, a stronger euro may not be a concern for Germany but may be worried by those EU member nations which depend upon exports to stimulate their economies.
Winning redefined, a new brand positioning for MP Motorsport
No full textMP Motorsport is a talent educating race team participating in the classes below the Formula 1. The problem with the lower classes and therefore MP Motorsport as well is that these classes don’t get much attention and exposure. As a company run by people with passion the branding and positioning is more something that naturally emerged from this passion rather than a series of conscious decisions. This makes it fragile. A more conscious strategy and vision on how MP Motorsport needs to be branded and positioned against their competition that is more than “look how cool racing is” is needed to become more attractive for sponsoring. This report describes the process from analysis to finding the right positioning and an advise for a new brand identity and an implementation plan to help becoming more attractive for sponsoring goals. The analysis done with employees showed a unique characteristic that will help the team to position themselves against the competition; the family atmosphere. This atmosphere is what also characterises their contradictory personality. This personality is on one hand leading and ambitious and on the other hand modest and involved. Competition and stakeholder analysis have been performed to find the right combination of being unique to the competition, desirable for the stakeholders (the fans and sponsors) and builds upon the core strengths of the company. Then using the brand key model, a positioning is made with the essence: Be your best self. The belief, “in everyone hides a talent” and values like “everyone is equal” and “together we succeed” combined with the essence and the positioning resulted in a brand story that describes the feeling MP Motorsport wants to communicate. To manifestate the brand, an advise has been set up for a tone of voice and tone of image. Wrapped in a concept called “winning redefined” this advise is part of the whole implementation plan that should lead the way for the team to implement the newly created brand in short and long term actions. In 3 phases MP Motorsport is advised to start with a clear brand introduction to the target groups Gen Z and potential sponsors. The next phase revolves around creating a community to attract both Gen Z talents and subsequently sponsors to interact with the team and each other. Finally the last phase is long term focused and aims for sustainable growth. In this phase the community is established and can expect various opportunities to discover and develop a whole range of talents, sponsors and gen z are connected to each other via MP Motorsport and the team is able to finance the lower classes without the pressure of the money drivers bring along.Strategic Product Desig
Derivations (MP) and Evaluations (OT)
No full textThe main claim of this paper is that the minimalist framework and optimality theory adopt more or less the same architecture of grammar: both assume that a generator defines a set S of potentially well-formed expressions that can be generated on the basis of a given input, and that there is an evaluator that selects the expressions from S that are actually grammatical in a given language L. The paper therefore proposes a model of grammar in which the strengths of the two frameworks are combined: more specifically, it is argued that the computational system of human language CHL from MP creates a set S of potentially well-formed expressions, and that these are subsequently evaluated in an optimality theoretic fashion.The definitive version of this paper is published in Linguistics in Potsdam 25 (2006).Broekhuis, H.

A novel approach to MP-PIC: Continuum particle model for dense particle flows in fluidized beds
No full textA novel approach to Multiphase-Particle-in-Cell (MP-PIC), called Continuum Particle Model (CPM), is developed for dense gas-particle flows. CPM has high computational speed, comparable to that of MP-PIC, but a robustness and accuracy closer to that of a Discrete Element Model (DEM). The gas phase is treated as a continuum phase and particles are tracked discretely, but particle collisions are modelled by considering the divergence of the continuum particle stress tensor. Details on efficient solution to the model are presented. For comparison, a parametric study is performed for quasi-2D fluidized beds. Comparison of CFD-CPM is made with MP-PIC and CFD-DEM. The particle stress models by Harris and Crighton, and by Srivastava and Sundaresan are tested in our CFD-CPM. Results from CFD-CPM based on the Srivastava and Sundaresan particle stress model show good agreement with CFD-DEM results. We validate our model by comparison with experimental benchmark results from Gopalan et. al. (2016).Complex Fluid Processin

Evaluating Communication in the British Parliamentary Public Sphere
No full textThis article begins with a re-evaluation of political communication research based on Habermas' original theory of the public sphere. It presents Habermas' alternative framework for assessing communication in contemporary ‘actually existing democracies’. The model is then tested with a case study of the UK parliamentary public sphere based on 95 semi-structured interviews with political actors (politicians, journalists and officials). It concludes that parliament today operates rather better, according to public sphere norms, than the public sphere described in Habermas' accounts of 18th and 19th-century England. Such a finding, on its own, is clearly at odds with public perception. The research accordingly offers two explanations for this disparity and the (perceived) crisis of political legitimacy in UK politics
JENIS MP-ASI, FREKUENSI DAN WAKTU PERTAMA KALI PEMBERIAN MP-ASI SEBAGAI FAKTOR RISIKO KEJADIAN GIZI LEBIH PADA BAYI USIA 6-12 BULAN DI KOTA MAGELANG
No full textLatar Belakang:. Prevalensi anak balita gizi lebih di Kota Magelang tahun 2012 berdasarkan data di Profil Kesehatan Kota sebesar 5,8%4. Pemberian makanan pendamping ASI yang diberikan pada bayi kurang dari 4 bulan dengan frekuensi yang tinggi dan jenis yang tidak sesuai umur akan menyebabkan kenaikan berat badan yang terlalu cepat sehingga mengarah ke gizi lebih.
Metode: Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan rancangan kasus kontrol pada 27 gizi lebih sebagai kelompok kasus dan 27 gizi normal sebagai kelompok kontrol dengan disertai matching umur, jenis kelamin, konsumsi susu formula dan tempat tinggal. Kriteria gizi lebih ditentukan berdasarkan indeks z-score BB/PB >2 SD menurut WHO child growth standart. Data umur, panjang badan, berat badan, jenis kelamin, konsumsi susu formula, jenis MP-ASI, frekuensi pemberian MP-ASI, dan waktu pemberian MP-ASI pertama kali pada bayi usia 6-12 bulan diperoleh melalui wawancara menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur. Analisis dilakukan dengan Pearson Chi-Square dan OR.
Hasil: Pemberian MP-ASI yang tidak sesuai umur pada kelompok kasus sebesar 55,6%, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol sebesar 40,7%. Kelompok kasus yang mendapat MP-ASI lebih dari 3 kali sehari sebesar 96,3%, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol sebesar 59,3% . Kelompok kasus yang mendapat MP-ASI sebelum usia 6 bulan sebesar 66,7%, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol sebesar 29,6% . Penelitian ini menunjukkan, faktor risiko kejadian gizi lebih pada bayi 6-12 bulan adalah frekuensi pemberian MP-ASI (p=0,002:OR=17,9) dan waktu pertama kali pemberian MP-ASI (p=0,01:OR=4,8). Pemberian MP-ASI yang tidak sesuai umur bukan merupakan faktor risiko kejadian gizi lebih pada bayi usia 6-12 bulan (p=0,4:OR=0,55)
Simpulan: Faktor risiko kejadian gizi lebih pada bayi usia 6-12 bulan di Kota Magelang adalah
frekuensi pemberian MP-ASI dan waktu pertama kali pemberian MP-AS

Genomewide linkage scan of schizophrenia in a large multicenter pedigree sample using single nucleotide polymorphisms
No full textA genomewide linkage scan was carried out in eight clinical samples of informative schizophrenia families. After all quality control checks, the analysis of 707 European-ancestry families included 1615 affected and 1602 unaffected genotyped individuals, and the analysis of all 807 families included 1900 affected and 1839 unaffected individuals. Multipoint linkage analysis with correction for marker-marker linkage disequilibrium was carried out with 5861 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; Illumina version 4.0 linkage map). Suggestive evidence for linkage ( European families) was observed on chromosomes 8p21, 8q24.1, 9q34 and 12q24.1 in nonparametric and/or parametric analyses. In a logistic regression allele-sharing analysis of linkage allowing for intersite heterogeneity, genomewide significant evidence for linkage was observed on chromosome 10p12. Significant heterogeneity was also observed on chromosome 22q11.1. Evidence for linkage across family sets and analyses was most consistent on chromosome 8p21, with a one-LOD support interval that does not include the candidate gene NRG1, suggesting that one or more other susceptibility loci might exist in the region. In this era of genomewide association and deep resequencing studies, consensus linkage regions deserve continued attention, given that linkage signals can be produced by many types of genomic variation, including any combination of multiple common or rare SNPs or copy number variants in a region.
