No full textSeveral additional comments on Reber (2016a) have appeared. Like those addressed in Reber (2016b), they reflect points of agreement and disagreement on various elements of my Cellular Basis of Consciousness (CBC) model. Some, however, seem to have missed key points. I\u27m willing to take some responsibility for this. Perhaps I was not clear about some of the more radical points of the model. Hopefully the case-by-case review here will help
Title I of ESEA: How the Formulas Benefit Different Types of School Districts
No full textThis report is part of a series, Understanding and Improving Title I of ESEA. Nora Gordon is Professor at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy, and Sarah Reber is the Joseph A. Pechman Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. In this report Gordon and Reber simulate what would happen if $10 billion in new Title I funding was allocated solely through any one of the current Title I formulas, instead spread across all four, and reveal that the Concentration Grant would be most effective at targeting funds to high-poverty districts. This is significant because federal law has frozen funding for Concentration Grants since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act over twenty years ago.

Title I of ESEA: How the Formulas Work
No full textThis report is part of a series, Understanding and Improving Title I of ESEA. Nora Gordon is Professor at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy, and Sarah Reber is the Joseph A. Pechman Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution.The Title I, Part A program (more commonly known as just "Title I") of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) directs funds to local school districts as a function of the number or percentage of disadvantaged children living in the district. In fiscal year (FY) 2021, Congress appropriated a total of 200 billion in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding. The use of Title I allocations to distribute so much money through ESSER shone a light on the substantial differences in allocation amounts across and within states
Building residential neighborhoods next to noisy areas on the example of the settlement Reber pri Škofljica
No full textSkozi diplomsko delo obravnavam območje naselja Reber pri Škofljici, ki leži ob železniški progi na poplavnem območju. Onesnaženo je s hrupom in ogroženo s poplavami, a je v občinskem planu predvideno za pozidavo. Z izdelavo urbanističnih analiz območja sem si določila nastavke za nadaljnjo načrtovanje stanovanjske soseske. Z analizo tipologije stanovanjskih stavb sem izbrala ustrezne tipe stavb za načrtovanje soseske, ki se prilagaja neugodnim danostim v območju.Through my thesis, I deal with the area named Reber pri Škofljici, which is located next to the railway line and in the flood zone. It is polluted by noise and threatened by floods, but it is planned for construction in the municipal plan. By making urban analyzes of the area, I set the parameters for further planning of the residential neighborhood. By analyzing the typology of residential buildings, I selected suitable building types for neighborhood planning, which adapts to unfavorable conditions in the area
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
From Separate and Unequal to Integrated and Equal? School Desegregation and School Finance in Louisiana
No full textAn important goal of the desegregation of schools following the Supreme Court's decision in Brown vs. Board of Education was to improve the quality of the schools black children attended. This paper uses a new dataset to examine the effects of desegregation on public and private enrollment and the system of school finance for Louisiana. I show that the system of school finance in Louisiana had long favored whites in high black enrollment share districts. Because of this system, whites in districts with high black enrollment shares stood to lose the most from desegregation, as the gap between white student-teacher ratios and black student-teacher ratios in those districts was higher. Given the importance of districts' black enrollment share in the system of finance and the potential impact of desegregation, I examine how changes in public and private enrollment, the local property tax base, and per-pupil revenue relate to the initial black enrollment share. The analysis suggests that the Jim-Crow system of school finance -- which had prevailed for over 60 years -- unraveled as the schools desegregated. While desegregation did induce some "white flight" and reduce the local property tax base slightly, the policies had the intended effect of reducing black-white gaps in school resources, as increased funding allowed districts to "level up" average spending in integrated schools to that previously experienced only in the white schools.
Federal Aid and Equality of Educational Opportunity: Evidence from the Introduction of Title I in the South
No full textTitle I of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act substantially increased federal aid for education, with the goal of expanding educational opportunity. Combining the timing of the program’s introduction with variation in its intensity, we find that Title I increased school spending by 46 cents on the dollar in the average school district in the South and increased spending nearly dollar-for-dollar in Southern districts with little scope for local offset. Based on this differential fiscal response, we find that increases in school budgets from Title I decreased high school dropout rates for whites, but not blacks.

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
