She includes updates, such as going to a show, "Rhapsody in blue," in Norwalk along with George Asawa, Florence, and Miyako.

L’irrompere del «fiat creatore». Bespaloff con e oltre Heidegger
No full textThe article analyzes Rachel Bespaloff ’s critique of Heidegger’s conception of freedom, highli- ghting the absence of an essential element: the «fiat creator», or the act of pure creation that transcends the limits of existing reality. Bespaloff argues that Heideggerian freedom is con- strained by historical and cultural conditions, while authentic freedom must include the ar- tistic capacity to generate new expressive forms. The author also emphasizes the importance of imagination and sensitivity, particularly through music, as key tools for achieving a deeper and more authentic understanding of human existence
A Reassessment of Japan's Monetary Policy during the Great Depression: The Constraints and Remedies
No full textTemin [1989] and Eichengreen [1992] argue that monetary policy played a key role in each country's economic performance during the Great Depression, and that some European policymakers hesitated to pursue an expansionary monetary policy even after departing from gold. Why did these policymakers not pursue the opportunities they were able to pursue to the fullest extent? This study explores this issue by looking at the case of Japan, focusing on the constraints it faced and the remedies available to it as a small, open economy. This study explores the relationship between interest rates in Japan and in the major international financial centers, using a new series of representative long-term interest rates and narratives. This study reveals that Japan imposed a restrictive monetary policy on itself even after departing from the gold standard. Japan did so because it needed to maintain its ties both with its trading partners and with the international financial markets.
A Myth of "the Keynesian before Keynes:" Low Interest Rate Policy in the Early 1930s in Japan
No full textDeparting from the gold standard was the necessary condition for early recovery from the Great Depression in 1930s (Eichengreen and Sachs[1985]). Then, was it the sufficient condition for an independent monetary policy? I explore Japan's monetary policy during the interwar period, focusing on the macroeconomic policy innovation in the early 1930s. I explore the view of the Japanese policymakers at that time, making use of newly available archives from the Bank of Japan. I derive a new series of representative long-term interest rate data from the market price of one particular government bond. Then, I explore the relationship between long-term interest rates of Japan and the two financial centers, Great Britain and the United States. The Japanese experience shows how strong the Golden Fetters were during the post-gold-standard era. The institution of the gold standard had an enduring influence on Japanese policymakers, even after its constraints were no longer formally binding.
Characterising modal definability of team-based logics via the universal modality
No full textWe study model and frame definability of various modal logics. Let denote the fragment of modal logic extended with the universal modality in which the universal modality occurs only positively. We show that a class of Kripke models is definable in if and only if the class is elementary and closed under disjoint unions and surjective bisimulations. We also characterise the definability of in the spirit of the well-known Goldblatt–Thomason theorem. We show that an elementary class of Kripke frames is definable in if and only if is closed under taking generated subframes and bounded morphic images, and reflects ultrafilter extensions and finitely generated subframes. In addition we study frame definability relative to finite transitive frames and give an analogous characterisation of -definability relative to finite transitive frames. Finally, we initiate the study of model and frame definability in team-based logics. We study (extended) modal dependence logic, (extended) modal inclusion logic, and modal team logic. We establish strict linear hierarchies with respect to model definability and frame definability, respectively. We show that, with respect to model and frame definability, the before mentioned team-based logics, except modal dependence logic, either coincide with or plain modal logic . Thus as a corollary we obtain model theoretic characterisation of model and frame definability for the team-based logics.

“Mimi-udon”.Japanese home-made cuisine of the next generation in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture
No full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the origins and present of local udon noodles as they have been passed down in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture. Mimi-udon is a local dish that has been handed down in the Semba area, of Sano City. The Semba area is a district in which the inhabitants did not eat rice cakes during the New Year, and instead Mimi-udon was mainly served as a New Year’s event food.
There are various theories about the origin of the name. One claims that it comes from trimmings of udon noodles (called“ mimi”). Another theory claims it is from old lore regarding“ mimifusagi-mochi,” the folk belief that“ if one eats ear-shaped food during the New Year, they will not hear anything bad all year round”.
It is widely believed that Mimi-udon began to be made sometime between the middle Edo period and the Meiji period. Since its cooking method is similar to "Mimi" in Yamanashi Prefecture, Mimi-udon is thought to have been inspired from the area.
In recent years, while handing down the tradition, its development has been continued for new uses such as pasta and Japanese sweets. The author concludes that this local area and wishes for this cuisine to be inherited in the next generations' community.departmental bulletin pape
Entrance strategy of SANO Ltd. in the Finaland's energy consumer market.
No full textBakalaura darba tēma ir SIA “SANO” ieiešanas stratēģija Somijas energoresursu uzskaites tirgū. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir pamatojoties uz Somijas energoresursu tirgu, SIA “SANO” uzņēmuma darbību, kā arī dažādu uzņēmumu pieredzi un ekspertu viedokļiem par Somijas tirgu analīzi noteikt piemērotāku ieiešanas stratēģiju SIA “SANO” Somijas energoresursu tirgū un izstrādāt priekšlikumus, lai attiecīgā stratēģija tiktu veiksmīgi sasniegta. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka uzņēmumam ir iespējas ieiet Somijas energoresursu uzskaites tirgū, jo ir izpildīti priekšnosacījumi veiksmīgam eksportam: ir pietiekami liels vadības zināšanu līmenis, uzņēmums ir konkurētspējīgs, ir brīva ražošanas jauda, ko nav iespējams realizēt vietējā tirgū, un ir pieprasījums pēc pakalpojuma Somijas tirgū. Bakalaura darba izstrādē ir izmantoti 86 informācijas avoti, tā apjoms ir 77 lappuses. Diplomdarbā ir izmantoti 20 attēli, 9 tabulas un 2 pielikumi. Atslēgvārdi: starptautiskā uzņēmuma attīstība, eksports, tirgū ieiešanas stratēģijas, SIA SANO, Somijas energoresursu uzskates tirgus, viedie skaitītāji, uzņēmuma pārstāvju, eksperta intervijas.Theme of the thesis is SIA “SANO” strategy for entering in Finland energy resource meter market. The aim of the thesis is to determine the best possible market entering strategy of SIA “SANO”, based on Finland energy resource market, SIA “SANO” current experience, the experience of other companies and expert opinions. The aim also includes defining proposals for achieving the strategy. Research results show that SIA “SANO” has possibilities to enter Finland’s energy resource market because all the prerequisites for successful export have been fulfilled – The knowledge level of the current management is high, company can be competitive, Finish market shows demand for this type of product and there is empty production capacity, that can not be fulfilled in local market. The results of the research indicate that the company has the opportunity to enter the Finnish energy resource market, as the preconditions for successful export are met: there is sufficient level of management knowledge, the company is competitive, there is free production capacity that is not realizable in the domestic market and there is demand for the service On the market in Finland. At the international level, not all companies are developing, although any product can be found on an export market or establish a branch abroad. There are several prerequisites for international development, which, according to the author, will not be possible expansion. One of the prerequisites is management knowledge and the decision to further develop the company beyond national boundaries. In the diploma paper are 86 sources of information, and 77 pages. Diploma paper includes 20 pictures, 9 tables and 2 annexes. Keywords: international business development, export, market entry strategies, SIA SANO, Finnish energy resource market, smart meters, business representatives, expert interview
