The Wake of 2020: Heroes, Saviors & Problems with Power with Kristin Kobes Du Mez
No full textHow can Christians learn to acknowledge abuses of power?

Self-archiving practice and the influence of publisher policies in the social sciences
No full textAuthors in different disciplines exhibit very different behaviours on the so-called ‘green’ road to open access, i.e. self-archiving. This study looks at the self-archiving behaviour of authors publishing in leading journals in six social science disciplines. It tests the hypothesis that authors are self-archiving according to the norms of their respective disciplines rather than following self-archiving policies of publishers, and that, as a result, they are self-archiving significant numbers of publisher PDF versions. It finds significant levels of
self-archiving, as well as significant self-archiving of
the publisher PDF version, in all the disciplines
investigated. Publishers’ self-archiving policies have
no influence on author self-archiving practice
Karnavaldan büyülü gerçekçiliğe: Berci kristin çöp masallari
No full textWith her different subjects and unique style Latife Tekin is a distunguished author of Turkish literature in the years following 1980s. Having synthesized the reality and the fantasy Tekin seems to have developed a new narration technique. Latife Tekin's Berji Kristin: Tales from Garbage Hills, which was published in 1984, arouse disagreement among some critics on the genre of this work. Since the concept of "magical realism" was not commonly known in Turkish literature of this era, some critics employed unsuitable instruments to interpret Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills. It stands out in its unique way of using language, folkloric elements, and containment of supernatural events. In this study, after discussing the arguments based on Berji Kristin: Tales from Garbage Hills, the work will be examined with regard to Bakhtin's concept of carnivalesque novel. Thus, this article will prove that Berji Kristin: Tales from Garbage Hills has carnivalesque spirit with the employment of magic, reality, and fantasy

Kristin Linklater, Freeing the Natural Voice, in Orkney
No full textThis chapter is based on an interview with Kristin Linklater, master voice teacher for over 50 years in the United States and widely known internationally. On retiring as Emerita Professor after 16 years at Columbia University in New York, Kristin returned to her island birthplace on the Mainland, Orkney, north of Scotland to set up the Kristin Linklater Voice Centre (KLVC). The KLVC opened in 2014 and has offered residential workshops for students from over 35 different countries led by Kristin and increasingly by her fellow teachers and colleagues. The interview explores practice as research, charting how her teaching has developed since her return to her birthplace, drawing students and colleagues from around world to form a workshop laboratory and ‘community of practice’ on this remote island. It highlights how a particular regional landscape, Orkney, has shaped her and how, after returning to live there after 70 years of living away, Kristin is beginning to shape Orkney. © The Author(s) 2020
Main and Interactive Effects of Diabetes Distress and Stress from Life Events on Overall Psychological Distress
No full textThis study sought to extend previous research by examining rates of three different types of diabetes distress, and whether stress from life events amplified the association between diabetes distress and overall psychological distress in a community-based sample of 119 middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes. Consistent with past research, individuals experienced a moderate level of diabetes distress. However, only some types of diabetes distress were associated with depressive symptoms, independent of stressful life events, whereas all types of diabetes distress were only related to anxious symptoms when stress from life events was also high.This has not been published yet (just accepted). I do not know if there is an embargo period for this journal.Peer reviewe

Globalization, Regional Wage Differentials and the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem: Evidence from México.
No full textUsing individual-level data on personal characteristics and wages and state-level data on trade, foreign direct investment, international migration and other site-specific features, I study what factors determined the changes in Mexico's regional wage differentials between 1990 and 2000. I exploit the regional variation in the exposure to globalization to identify the effects of NAFTA on wages and on returns to schooling. The results support the presence of Stolper-Samuelson type of responses during Mexico's globalization process: regions more exposed to international markets appear to have exhibited an increase in wage levels, but a decrease in returns to schooling, relative to other regions of the country. The results suggest that globalization has an important spatial dimension that is usually neglected in traditional trade models.Trade Liberalization, Stolper-Samuelson Theorem, Wage Differentials, NAFTA, Economic Geography
