Creative Assets and the Changing Economy
No full textThis paper evaluates recent claims that art and culture have become more valuable assets in the new economy. Based on conversations with several prominent cultural economists, the author argues that advocates and scholars should be more cautious in their attempts to draw out the implications of the changing economy on culture. Rather than spend time calculating the impact or size of the “creative economy,” the author argues that we should direct our analytical and policy energies toward better understanding how creative work and institutions are changing and what might be done to foster a more robust, creative and diverse cultural life.
A Study of Transgressed Boundaries in The Gate to Women’s Country by Sheri S. Tepper
No full textThis paper endeavours to delineate the gender dynamics and ethical quandaries arising from the repercussions of war and the decisions undertaken to preserve societal norms, as depicted in the 1988 science-fiction novel entitled The Gate to Women’s Country, written by American author Sheri S. Tepper. Serving as a critique, the narrative provides insight into inquiries surrounding the supposed genetic determinants of violence. It interrogates established paradigms pertaining to gender, introducing a society meticulously crafted through scientific design
Adaptación y validación del cuestionario de supervisión abusiva de Tepper (SAT) en empleados de la región de Arica y Parinacota
No full textThe purpose of this study was to adapt and obtain evidence of validity of the Tepper Abusive Supervision questionnaire (TAS) for use in adult workers in Arica, Chile. An instrumental cross-sectional design was used, with a sample of 287 participants from private companies in the city. Reliability estimates were performed by means of McDonald’s omega hierarchical coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha and validity evidence was obtained based on the internal structure of the test, by means of confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the debugged dichotomous version provides adequate comparative and absolute fit indicators (RMSEA = .04; CFI = .99; TLI = .98), with adequate levels of reliability ( α = .87; ω = .88). It is concluded that the TepperAbusive Supervision questionnaire (TAS) shows adequate psychometric properties for the measurement of abusive supervision in equivalent samples of working adults.El propósito de este estudio fue adaptar y obtener evidencia de validez del cuestionario de Supervisión Abusiva de Tepper (SAT) para su uso en adultos trabajadores de Arica, Chile. Se utilizó un diseño transversal de tipo instrumental, con una muestra conformada por 287 participantes provenientes de empresas privadas de la ciudad. Se realizaron estimaciones de fiabilidad mediante coeficiente omega jerárquico de McDonald’s y alfa de Cronbach y se obtuvo evidencias de validez basada en la estructura interna del test, mediante análisis factoriales confirmatorios. Los resultados mostraron que la versión dicotomiza depurada proporciona adecuados indicadores de ajuste comparativos y absolutos (RMSEA = .04; CFI = .99; TLI = .98), con adecuados niveles de fiabilidad (α = .87; ω = .88). Se concluye que la escala de Supervisión Abusiva de Tepper (SAT) presenta propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para la medición de supervisión abusiva en muestras equivalentes de adultos trabajadores

An experimental and analytical exploration of the effects of manufacturing parameters on ceramic pot filter performance
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2013.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 163-165).Ceramic pot filters (CPF) are a promising low-cost option for household water treatment, providing a barrier of protection against-microbiological contaminants for households with or without reliable piped water supplies. The goal of this thesis is to provide CPF manufacturers with tools to increase their ability to reach performance objectives for CPF flow rate, bacteria removal and strength. This is achieved by experimentally determining relationships between these three aspects of performance and three manufacturing values: percentage rice husk, rice husk size and wall thickness. These relationships are used to run a series of optimizations that result in design recommendations including the recommendation to increase wall thickness to improve bacteria removal and to tightly control rice husk size to maintain consistent flow rates. In addition to the experimental relationships, this author seeks a theoretical explanation of filter performance. Through this process, the author determined that hydraulic head can be increased without decreasing bacteria removal and that incomplete combustion should not be of primary concern to manufacturers. While the results in this study are preliminary, the systematic approach to the CPF design shown here can be used in future studies to further analyze and improve the CPF design.by Amelia Tepper Servi.S.M
