What Was “It” that Robbins Was Defining?
No full textThis paper argues that Robbins’ famous definition of economics was of “economic science” which he saw as only a narrow branch of the field of economics. The field of economics included both economic science—which his definition dealt with, and political economy--which his essay did not deal with. His prescriptive message was that policy belonged in the “political economy” branch of economics. He believed that while the science of economics should avoid value judgments as much as possible, the political economy (applied policy) branch of economics should, and must, include value judgments. That prescriptive message has been lost.: definition of economics, political economy, science of economics, Robbins, value judgments

The Malkus-Robbins dynamo with a nonlinear motor
No full textIn a recent paper Moroz \cite{m02} considered a simplified version of the
third class of self-exciting Faraday-disk dynamo model, introduced by Hide
\cite{h97}, in the limit in which the Malkus-Robbins dynamo \cite{m72,r77}
results as a special case. In that study a linear series motor was incorporated
which led to an enriching of the range of possible behaviour that the
original Malkus-Robbins dynamo could support. In this paper, we replace the
linear motor by a nonlinear motor and consider the consequences on the dynamics
of the dynamo
Conserving the canvas: reducing the environmental footprint of legal briefs by re-imagining court rules and document design strategies
No full textThis article advances an important argument as to why we should be redesigning our lawyering documents. Not only is readability an important issue but so is the environmental footprint of our document design choices. So here is the bottom line advice that I offer today - judges and attorneys can easily cut down on the environmental impact that our documents have by making three easy and simultaneous changes to court rules and practices: 1. allow and encourage or even require double-sided printing; 2. move to 1.5 line spacing rather than double spacing; and 3. adopt court rules that limit documents by word counts while simultaneously eliminating font and font-size requirements.
These recommendations do not involve going paperless. Eliminating all paper filing is certainly the best thing that we could do for the environment but is probably not completely realistic at this point in time. Moreover, even in those jurisdictions where attorneys submit documents by electronic filing, hard copies are nevertheless being printed by those people who have to read them. Computer screen reading is just not feasible yet for long documents so it does not behoove us to ask people to completely buy into paperless everything. Until we can all afford and are ready to use personal document readers, we will realistically still have a world where we prefer to read longer documents in hard copy. For that reason, this article will make its conservation recommendations based on the somewhat more temperate concept of sustainability.Peer reviewed

The control and administration of training colleges from the McNair report (1944) to the education (No. 2) Act, 1968, with special reference to the policies of the A.T.C.D.E
No full textThis thesis attempts to answer five main questions. What were the problems of the control and administration of the training colleges between the McNair and Robbins Reports which caused the colleges to place such great importance on the Robbins' proposals for changes in the system? Why were the Robbins' recommendations rejected? Why was there a controversy over the membership of the Weaver Study Group? Why did the Weaver Report and the Education (No. 2) Act, 1968, take the form they did? What part did the A.T.C.D.E. play in these developments? Chapter 1 outlines the framework of the system of control and administration of the colleges and the changes that were taking place in the system between 1944-61. Against this background, Chapter 2 traces the development of A.T.C.D.E. policies and the reactions of representatives of the providing bodies to the policies. Chapter 3 examines the evidence of the main interested parties to the Robbins Committee, the Committee's proposals and the lines of the impending debate. Chapter 4 analyses the reasons for the rejection of the Robbins’ proposals. Chapter 5 discusses the controversy over the membership of the Weaver Study Group. Chapter 6 presents a detailed analysis of the main issues within the Weaver Study Group. Chapter 7 describes the initial action taken on the Weaver Report and the causes of the A.T.C.D.E.'s growing concern with the response of sane L.E.As to the Weaver Report. Chapter 8 follows the passage of the House of Lords’ Bill through the Lords and Commons and the A.T.C.D.E.'s campaign to secure the most generous interpretation of the Weaver proposals and that instruments as well as articles of government should be subject to the Secretary of State's approval
Paul Nordoff og Clive Robbins i Norge 1968 - 1977
No full textDette historiske tilbakeblikket omfatter noen av de viktigste begivenhetene i norsk musikkterapihistorie på 60- og 70-tallet. På denne tiden hadde det legendariske musikkterapiteamet Paul Nordoff og Clive Robbins stor innflytelse på dannelsen av norsk musikkterapi. Teksten bygger for en stor del på en revisjon av min tidligere artikkel om Nordoff og Robbins prosjekter i Norge i perioden 1968-1977 (Næss 1991). Denne tidsrammen er valgt fordi deres første besøk i Norge fant sted i 1968, og deres samarbeid tok en naturlig slutt ved Paul Nordoff sin død i 1977.
Teksten baserer seg på notater fra Nordoff og Robbins sin egen dagbok: ”Music Therapy in Scandinavia”, avisutklipp, intervjuer og innspill fra kollegaer, og egne opplevelser i nær kontakt med Paul Nordoff og Clive Robbins. En del av materialet er også hentet fra Clive Robbins sin bok: A Journey into Creative Music Therapy (Robbins 2005) og enkelte detaljer er hentet fra Every Note Counts (Simpson 2007) og Being in Music (Aigen 2005). Jeg har den dag i dag (april 2008) gleden av å ha en aktiv kommunikasjon med Clive Robbins både i form av personlige møter og e-post utveksling. Clive, som fylte 80 år i fjor, har både en meget god hukommelse og et meget ryddig arkiv over sitt virke, noe som har kommet denne artikkelen til gode
