Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
A peça-paisagem de Gertrude Stein: traduzindo Four Saints in Three Acts
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2015.Esta pesquisa foi realizada pensando na tradução da peça-paisagem, peça-ópera, Four Saints in Three Acts, escrita em 1927, pela autora norte-americana Gertrude Stein (1874-1946). A peça foi elaborada musicalmente por Virgil Garnett Thomson (1896 ? 1989), crítico e compositor americano que, após estabelecer uma amizade com Stein, pediu se ela poderia escrever um libreto, uma ópera, para que ele fizesse o arranjo musical. Four Saints, publicada na obra Last Operas and Plays (1949), inicia na página 440 e termina na página 480. Nesta pesquisa serão apresentadas duas traduções para o português brasileiro das primeiras seis páginas da peça ? páginas 440 a 445 ? escrita em língua inglesa. Uma das traduções teve o foco mais literal, buscando manter o significado das palavras; e a outra, considerando as peculiaridades do texto steiniano, teve o foco mais autoral, fazendo uma dosagem entre forma e conteúdo, privilegiando ambos. A peça foi apresentada pela primeira vez em 1934 no Wadsworth Atheneum museum, em Hartford, Connecticut, nos Estados Unidos. Duas semanas depois foi para a Broadway; também foi comentada em diversas colunas de jornais e em rádios, levando à fama uma nova forma de teatro.Abstract : This research was conducted considering the translation of the play-landscape, play-opera, Four Saints in Three Acts, written in 1927 by American author Gertrude Stein (1874-1946). The play was set to music by Virgil Garnett Thomson (1896 - 1989), American composer and critic who, after establishing a friendship with Stein, asked if she could write a libretto, an opera, for him to do the musical arrangement. Four Saints, published in the work Last Operas and Plays (1949), starts on page 440 and ends on page 480. In this research it will be presented two translations to Brazilian Portuguese of the first six pages of the play - pages 440 to 445. One of the translations had a more literal focus to keep the meaning of words; and the other, considering the steinian text peculiarities, had a more authorial focus, making a mix between form and content, focusing both. The play was first performed in 1934 at the Wadsworth Atheneum museum in Hartford, Connecticut, in the United States. Two weeks later it went to Broadway; it was also commented on several columns of newspapers and radio stations, leading to fame a new form of theater
A Stein Criterion Via Divisors for Domains Over Stein Manifolds
No full textIt is shown that a domain over a Stein manifold is Stein if the following two conditions are fulfilled: a) the cohomology group vanishes for and b) every topologically trivial holomorphic line bundle over admits a non-trivial meromorphic section. As a consequence we recover, with a different proof, a known result due to Siu stating that a domain over a Stein manifold is Stein provided that for

Retail Loans and Basel II: Using Portfolio Segmentation to Reduce Capital Requirements. ECRI Research Report No. 8, 20 August 2006
Full text linkThe key concept underlying the Basel II framework for risk measurement and corresponding equity capital standards is that the existing regulations pertaining to credit risk will be individualised through reference to the internal ratings of banks. In accordance with the regulatory guidelines, Daniel Kaltofen, Stephan Paul and Stefan Stein develop an ‘optimised segmentation approach’ with regard to the credit default event and measure the implications for regulatory capital requirements. As regards methodology, they present an innovative technique and test it on a data set of approximately 413,000 motor vehicle loans. By classifying loans according to selective predictors of default, the authors find that banks can achieve significant savings in terms of ensuring a lower regulatory capital requirement. This provides banks with the opportunity to increase lending capacity. The technique overcomes the disadvantages of the more familiar standard methods used in today’s bank risk management and delivers more robust results

Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration for Survivability
No full textMulti-Attribute Tradespace Exploration for Survivability is a system design and analysis methodology that incorporates survivability considerations into the tradespace exploration process (i.e., a solution-generating and decision-making framework that applies decision theory to model-based design). During the concept generation phase of tradespace exploration, the methodology applies seventeen empirically validated survivability design principles spanning susceptibility reduction, vulnerability reduction, and resilience enhancement. During subsequent concept evaluation, the methodology adds value-based survivability metrics to traditional architectural evaluation criteria of mission utility and lifecycle cost. Applied to a satellite radar mission, the methodology allowed operational survivability to be statistically evaluated across representative distributions of naturally occurring disturbances in the space environment and for survivability to be incorporated as a decision factor earlier in the design process. Constellations in the illustrative example are shown to be the most survivable, mitigating disturbances architecturally, rather than through additive features.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Systems Engineering Advancement Research Initiative (SEAri))Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Swiping Stein: The Ambivalence of Hemingway Parodies
No full textDraws on excerpts from A Moveable Feast, as well as Hemingway’s personal letters, to demonstrate the author’s uncertainty in parodying Gertrude Stein in The Torrents of the Spring, “My Own Life,” and the unpublished “The Autobiography of Alice B. Hemingway.” Pollack-Pelzner attributes Hemingway’s ambivalence to parody’s literary dependence on the object of its criticism, thus calling into question Hemingway’s ability to achieve independence from his old mentor. Also, briefly discusses Hemingway’s parody of Sherwood Anderson
