▼ A standard mood-induction procedure using film clips was used to induce happy, sad and neutral states. Positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) were used as indicators of mood to assess subsequent levels of authenticity, self-consciousness and life satisfaction. No significant differences were found between happy and neutral conditions relative to positive and negative affect and thus the mood manipulation failed to distinguish between happy and neutral states. PA was not significantly correlated with any of the measures. Possible explanations for the failure of PA are discussed. Two new scales to measure authenticity as a
state were constructed, The
State-Authenticity Questionnaire and the Visual
State-Authenticity Scale, (VSAS) which were inspired from scales previously used in the research area (
State-Authenticity Questionnaire and Inclusion of Other in the Self Scale). Mood was shown to predict authenticity over and above the effects of trait happiness for the VSAS scale but not the
state-authenticity questionnaire. Authenticity was also found to mediate the relationship between mood and life-satisfaction, thus lower NA leads to higher authenticity which leads to higher life satisfaction. This was found for the two authenticity scales. The mediating relationship of private self-consciousness between mood and authenticity was also explored but because of an insignificant correlation between private self-consciousness and authenticity the mediation could not proceed. The results provide the foundations for future research as it is the first study to report authenticity as a mediator in the relationship between mood and life-satisfaction and the first study to induce authenticity as a
state.

▼ Tennessee’s
State Park system was created in the late 1930s to provide recreation areas for the
state. Four parks were initially brought into the system in 1937 in order to provide a basis for this system. Among these first four parks were two that were created specifically as parks for Negroes under the Jim Crow mandate of the time. These parks, T.O. Fuller and Booker T. Washington
State Parks, were created as part of a proposed system of
state parks for Negroes that were set to provide separate but equal recreational facilities across the
state. The
State Park System was officially desegregated in the early 1960s under an informal mandate from the Governor. Since then, these two
state parks have operated under a de-facto policy of a black manager for a black park and have remained largely visited by African-Americans. This qualitative study seeks to examine the historical development and management of these two parks through the use of a descriptive approach. Through staff and visitor interviews and management document analysis, the study attempts to answer the following questions: (1) Are there differences in how these two parks were developed and managed due to their designations as
State Parks for Negroes? (2) How has the historical designation effected the modern management and use of the parks? (3) How has visitation to these parks been affected by their history as
State Parks for Negroes?

▼ Post-Cold War international relations have been largely defined by the security and humanitarian challenges posed by weak and failing states. Great power states, in turn, have come to increasingly accept
state-building as a legitimate cause for the use of military force. In this study, I employ process tracing and statistical analyses as means of assessing the links between foreign policy decision makers’ motives for
state-building, the subsequent commitment of resources to the intervention, and the ultimate outcome of the engagement. I find that the scope of
state-building motives is positively correlated with resource commitments. In turn, I find that resource commitment levels are positively correlated with
state-building outcomes.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the everyday discourses on the welfare
state in Germany, Sweden and the USA to explore the link between welfare regimes and national political cultures. It utilizes focus group discussions and Q studies to locate these discourses. In the focus group discussions, participants debate different aspects of the welfare
state with each other. I analyze these discussions and contrast the patterns within and across national welfare cultures. For a more systematic and replicable comparison of discourses, I employ the Q method. I conduct two sets of Q studies (one unique for each country and the other identical across countries). In these studies, respondents are asked to rank the given statements according to their level of agreement or disagreement. Statements for the unique Q studies are drawn from the focus group discussions, and statements for the standard Q study are drawn from international public opinion surveys. I factor-analyze the responses to locate the groups of arguments that cluster together to form rival discourses. The discourses that emerge from the analysis of the unique (country-specific) statements produce stark differences that parallel the welfare regime institutions of the respective nations and support the main hypothesis of this study. The implications of these findings for the study of the relationship between political institutions and discourses are discussed.

▼ To prepare and conduct shore operations in safe environment, it is important to possess an accurate sea
state forecast. In this thesis it is assessed whether it is possible to estimate the real time sea
state at a vessel, without using any instruments deployed in the water. As a matter of fact, in-situ measurements are not always possible, for example during pipeline installation, the vessel sails a few kilometres a day, therefore the options are restricted to methods which do not include in-situ instruments. To test and validate the methods developed in this thesis real time measurements were performed on the Audacia, a pipeline installation vessel belonging to Allseas, one of the world leaders in pipeline installation. The Audacia was laying pipe nearby the coast of Australia, close to wave buoy in the Julimar Field.
Methods to extract wave field information from conventional nautical radars have been developed. It is possible to estimate a directional wave spectrum by using a temporal sequence of radar images, and following, statistical data representative of the sea
state, such as the significant wave height and wave direction. However there is no unique relation between the radar images and the amount of energy in the directional wave spectrum, which result in an inaccurate signififcant wave height. In order to improve the directional wave spectrum estimations given by the X-Band radar used on board of the Audacia (Wavex from Miros), the possibility of using an extra measuring instrument to calibrate the energy is investigated. Two measuring devices are considered.
- A down looking radar, recently installed below the helideck of the Audacia, measuring the single point surface elevation in vicinity of the vessel. (Radac WaveGuide)
- The MRU sensors, which measure the wave induced vessel motions. (Ixsea Octans)
It is investigated whether combining the data measured by one or the other device to the Xband radar data result in an improvement of the radar estimated directional wave spectrum, and which combination gives the best results.
Method 1: Use the down looking radar measurements. The one dimensional wave spectrum given by Radac is combined with the directional wave spectrum given by Wavex. Since the Radac measurement are performed close to the vessel, the water surface is disturbed. In order to use the Radac to improve the estimated wave spectrum these disturbance have to be taken into account. It is possible to determine a frequency dependent ratio between the amount of energy in each frequency band of the different instruments. This frequency dependent ratio is used to correct the estimated amount of energy at each frequency of the directional wave spectrum.
Method 2: Use the vessel motion measurements. In this method the measured wave induced vessel motions measured by the MRU are combined with the directional wave spectrum given by Wavex. To be able to calibrate the amount of energy in the directional wave spectrum, the radar wave spectrum has to be converted into vessel motions spectra.1

▼ In this work, we theoretically and numerically investigate nonclassical phonon states created in the collective vibration of a Raman medium by the generation of a dual-pumped Raman optical frequency comb in an optical cavity. This frequency comb is generated by cascaded Raman scattering driven by two phase-locked pump lasers that are separated in frequency by three times the Raman phonon frequency. We characterize the variety of conditioned phonon states that are created when the number of photons in all optical frequency modes except the pump modes are measured. Almost all of these conditioned phonon states are extremely well approximated as three-phonon-squeezed states or Schrödinger-cat states, depending on the outcomes of the photon number measurements. We show how the combinations of first-, second-, and third-order Raman scattering that correspond to each set of measured photon numbers determine the fidelity of the conditioned phonon
state with model three-phonon-squeezed states and Schrödinger-cat states. All of the conditioned phonon states demonstrate preferential growth of the phonon mode along three directions in phase space. That is, there are three preferred phase values that the phonon
state takes on as a result of Raman scattering. We show that the combination of Raman processes that produces a given set of measured photon numbers always produces phonons in multiples of three. In the quantum number-
state representation, these multiples of three are responsible for the threefold phase-space symmetry seen in the conditioned phonon states.
With a semiclassical model, we show how this three-phase preference can also be understood in light of phase correlations that are known to spontaneously arise in single-pumped Raman frequency combs. Additionally, our semiclassical model predicts that the optical modes also grow preferentially along three phases, suggesting that the dual-pumped Raman optical frequency comb is partially phase-stabilized.

Security Breach: British Modernism and the Violence of

▼ This dissertation argues that secrets become
increasingly politicized over the course of the twentieth century,
emerging from the private realm (the context of “family secrets” so
prominent in nineteenth-century literature) and gaining traction –
in fiction and the political imagination – as public, national
issues. Specifically, the project traces the innovative styles and
methods of narrating secrets in the modernist literature of Great
Britain and claims that secrecy fundamentally alters the
relationship between aesthetics and politics in the twentieth
century. British modernism, I propose, expands the definition of
the secret, situating it as information, ideology, and above all as
narrative harbored by the
state. My dissertation brings this
relationship between literature and secrecy out of the private
realm and into the political arena, examining it as a narrative of
the individual’s engagement with the nation. Secrecy, I submit,
constitutes a new literary form, one that takes shape in all its
political potency and narrative force in the twentieth century. No
longer the province of mystery or social intrigue as in the
nineteenth-century novel, secrecy in the modern period comes into
contact, indeed collides with, the political: the secret, in this
era, becomes the clandestine. Ushering in this transformation in
the political imaginary, novelists in the twentieth century create
new forms that give shape and substance to this emergent secrecy.
By examining how British modernist novels work with, through, and
around secrets, I ask how is it that cultures in which secrets
proliferate also produce subjects that act like spies, terrorists,
and traumatized soldiers – that is, how they imagine character
anew, calibrating it in relation to the political (and public)
secrets that individuals harbor. These characters, in the process,
transcend their individual sketches to become emblems of
transformative philosophical and epistemological thinking about
England.

▼ How can we better understand women’s pathways to
political office at the
state level through the study of both
elected and appointed office? This dissertation argues that our
understanding of the pipeline to public office is incomplete
because most studies of the pipeline only focus on elected office.
Through the creation of an original survey, the
State Political
Pathways Survey, of
state legislators and political appointees in
20 states with select in-depth interviews, this dissertation
attempts to compare the recruitment, motivations, and ambitions of
appointed and elected officials. For the first time, this research
is able to provide a snapshot of the entire pipeline to
state-level
political appointments through the inclusion of understudied
state
boards and commissions. My research finds that more women are going
into the appointment pipeline than the elected pipeline at the
state level, mostly because they do not see their appointed
positions as political. Women in appointments at the
state level
have a deep aversion to politics, which they often define as
competitive, partisan, and electoral. Instead, many of these women
seek or accept their appointments because they can get involved in
an issue that is important to them personally or professionally.
This work also reveals that a disavowal of the political can be
found as high as the governor’s cabinet, uncovering the
non-political ambitions for
state appointments that from the
outside can appear to be politically motivated. Women in appointed
positions at the
state level have distinct reasons for getting
involved in the political process. Studying both elected and
appointed officials at the
state level reveals a different pathway
to political power, but also reveals that many women are in
positions of political power for specifically non-political
ambitions and reasons.

▼ This dissertation demonstrates that discourses about
the middle class and the practices of the middle class fostered
fast-growing, orderly market economies in South Korea and China
while simultaneously pacifying potential social conflict. While
many studies of development focus narrowly on
state economic
policies, my research draws attention to the social and cultural
conditions that effectively promote and legitimize
state-directed
development projects that often come with significant costs to the
population. I argue that, despite their differing socioeconomic
systems,
state-sponsored middle class formation in Korea and China
served to strengthen
state visions of national development and
modernization. By tracing the processes of middle-class formation,
my dissertation focuses on
state ideological projects that
successfully created an image of “developmental subjects.” This
image worked to control and discipline the very population that was
to drive economic growth and whose highly visible class markers
would provide the rest of the population a goal toward which to
strive.
Drawing evidence from archival data and in-depth interviews,
I come to three conclusions. First, each
state produced unique
meanings, symbols, and values that were channeled through the
middle class and aligned with
state projects of development.
Second, in addition to official discourses about the middle class,
states provided the material conditions under which white-collar
workers and public employees could achieve upward mobility through
housing and income policies. Third, once the middle class was
produced and began to grow through
state sponsorship, it worked to
reproduce its privileged position through everyday class practices.
Through exclusionary gate-keeping practices in everyday life, the
middle class sought to advance their interests against the lower
classes in the name of citizenship, which worked to maintain the
existing social order. By analyzing both the cultural and
political-economic dynamics of a social group in the making, this
dissertation bridges a gap in the theories about developmental
states, class formation, and economic transition in East Asia.

The (Dis)Empowering State: State Intervention and Its Effect
on Black and Latino Political Empowerment.

▼ Racial minorities have had an ambiguous history with
state intervention. At times, the
state has prevented racial
minorities from achieving political power and at other times, it
has helped in the process of political empowerment. However,
theories of Black and Latino political empowerment often treat the
role of the
state as peripheral or ignore it all together.
Similarly, theories of centralization often ignore the historically
complicated experiences racial minorities have had with
state
intervention. This dissertation examines the effects of
state
intervention on Black and Latino political empowerment by focusing
on
state takeovers of local school districts. Since the 1980s,
states have increasingly relied on takeovers to address issues with
underperforming school districts. Yet, in addition to serving as
learning institutions, school districts also serve as important
local political institutions. Therefore,
state takeovers of local
school districts have political implications. Furthermore, nearly
80 percent of takeovers occur in districts where Blacks and Latinos
represent the majority of the student population. The findings from
this dissertation research demonstrate that the effects of
state
takeovers are complex. Using an original dataset of all
state
takeovers and relying on case studies of Newark, Paterson, and
Union City, New Jersey, this dissertation shows that at times
state
takeovers can advance Black and Latino political empowerment. I
find that
state takeovers have a positive effect on Black and
Latino descriptive representation on the school board in localities
where their respective groups have low levels of political power at
the time of the takeover. Conversely, this study finds that
state
takeovers of local school districts negatively affect groups that
are politically empowered at the time of the takeover. The findings
from the case studies also demonstrate that takeovers can
positively and negatively affect other aspects of political
empowerment, including substantive representation on the school
board and the ability for local communities to influence school
policies and control district resources. The results of this
research suggest that the impact of centralization depends on the
level of empowerment a community has at the time of the
takeover.

▼ The
state, as an organizational actor, holds an important role in the national sphere as a provider of public goods (social contract), and when it fails to do so, it is seen as
state failure. This failure is conceptualized along a general spectrum from weak, failed, to collapsed. This analysis examines the theoretical concepts of
state failure and the utility of labelling states along this spectrum. The literature overview shows that there is generally agreement that
state failure is a linear process, and it is conceptualized in terms of stages. However, there is a distinct conceptual disagreement on the definition of the stages among scholars, as well as key indicators to measure
state failure. An examination of the four dominant datasets indicates that they and their comparative results provide little basis for classifying states of value for decision-makers contemplating intervention in some form or other. Future research, theoretical, conceptual and empirical is needed to provide a basis for evaluating the most useful tools or options for intervention along the process of
state failure.

▼ The
state is a social phenomenon which first appeared only several thousand years ago. In fact, the period that states have existed for is brief in comparison with the period of stateless societies. Nevertheless, the theoretical debate surrounding
state formation and collapse has generated a large and continuous fascination within both academic and non-academic circles. Scholars have attempted to unravel the causes and processes of
state formation and collapse, which is not only essential for ancient history, archaeology, anthropology and related disciplines, but also for a more comprehensive understanding of the modern world. One might ask: why produce another work in addition to an already enormous amount of scholarship addressing these topics? Yet, it will become clear that there is no general consensus on these topics. Neither is there a theory of
state formation or collapse which can be applied individually and globally through different spatial and temporal settings. This thesis is set out to create a new theory of
state formation and collapse, based upon a critical assessment of the most important theories of
state formation of collapse, and tested to a case study. In this way, a new approach is taken to answer the following question: “What are the causes and processes behind
state formation and collapse and what are the mechanisms that facilitate the process of
state formation and collapse?” This will be done for the Old Babylonian
state formed by Hammurabi of Babylon (1792-1750 BCE) and which collapsed during the Late Old Babylonian Period.

▼ Traditional state estimation whereby the state of the system is assessed based on a limited number of measurements is a well established tool for steady-state situations where the frequency of the system is 50 Hz. Previous contributions have looked at extending this concept to the power quality area. This area of research is called Power Quality State Estimation (PQSE) and represents a class of techniques. Under the umbrella of PQSE, the main contribution of this work is taking Transient State Estimation (TSE) on step further. A new three-phase formulation for TSE using the Numerical Integrator Substitution (NIS) will be detailed. NIS approach, also known as Dommel's method, gives a numerical solution to describe the transient behaviour of a dynamic system at discrete time points. The new transient state estimator is implemented and verified by applying the proposed algorithm to a real distribution test system. It's performance and accuracy are investigated in presence of measurement noise, background harmonics, multiple faults, etc. The conducted study has shown this technique has a great potential.

▼ A steady stream of research describes rising income inequality in the U.S. since the 1970s. Beneath this familiar story, however, are a variety of
state experiences. In this dissertation, I develop and test a new theory to explain why income inequality varies in the states over time. My partisan political-economy theory for
state inequality builds on political explanations for national inequality; but it takes a step further to recognize and incorporate variation in
state governments, which do most of the governing and policymaking in our federal system. I demonstrate that shifts in
state government party composition, and related policy shifts, are a fundamental determinant of over time changes in
state-level inequality between 1970 and 2005. First, controlling for economic and demographic factors, I find that increases in Democratic control of
state government are significantly related to decreases, or diminished growth, of market inequality, while increases in Republican control coincide with increases in inequality. Second, I show how partisanship influences income disparity by identifying policy mechanisms that respond to changes in government partisanship and that also relate to changes in inequality:
state public sector employment, minimum wages, and public welfare spending. My results for the former two policies suggest that the parties in
state governments shape the distribution of income even before making adjustments with income taxes and transfers; however, those for the latter point to the relevance of
state governments for changes in post-tax and transfer inequality as well. Together, the results of my research demonstrate that patterns in income inequality are not simply a function of broader economic shifts, or even policies set by the national government. Rather, the parties or party members we elect to
state governments, and their policy decisions, help determine the extent of income disparity in the United States. These findings allow us to say with more empirical certainty that there are political explanations for changes in income inequality in the U.S. throughout the past forty years.

▼ Chapter 1: I construct a synthetic reading of the political works of John Howard Yoder, demonstrating that they offer a theological doctrine of the state, counter to the received opinion of Yoder scholarship. While human social life is deemed entirely political, the concept of principalities and powers is shown to be key to understanding Yoder's conception of the state. Further, Yoder demonstrates an apocalyptic political theology, which, as well as waiting on God's action, is also empowered to act in the created realm in the present, secular age. Chapter 2: Stanley Hauerwas' work applies Yoder's concept of the church as political to an understanding of the church in liberal American society and finds this latter to threaten the integrity of Christian distinctiveness both personal and ecclesial. Hauerwas' theology is shown to be deficiently apocalyptic, with the results that he disallows the state a role in God's providence and also has difficulty providing a consistent understanding of possibility of goodness outwith the church. Chapter 3: John Milbank's elaborate reconstruction of the modern Western political and social imaginary as heresy is introduced from a number of angles. Criticisms are made of tensions in Milbank's early and later work between a democratic impulse and a commitment to a sovereign monarch and an aristocratic elite governing society, and between a Baroque-postmodern understanding of human social construction and ideals of a perduring nature and transcendental goodness, beauty and truth. Chapter 4: Following Yoder's suggestion of conscientious participation, a case study is made of Paul Butler's call for a campaign of nullifications of prosecutions of nonviolent black offenders, leading into a consideration of the jury as a valid site of conscience with liberal democracies. The jury's representativity is such that a jury expresses the community's conscience when those individuals called to serve on a jury are invited to express their moral beliefs, even those informed by religion convictions.

▼ Two prominent theories of legal decision making provide seemingly contradictory explanations for judicial outcomes. In political science, the Attitudinal Model suggests that judicial outcomes are driven by judges' sincere policy preferences – judges bring their ideological inclinations to the decision making process and their case outcome choices largely reflect these policy preferences. In contrast, in the law and economics literature, Priest and Klein's well-known Selection Hypothesis posits that court outcomes are largely driven by the litigants' strategic choices in the selection of cases for formal dispute or adjudication – forward thinking litigants settle cases where potential judicial outcomes are readily discernable (e.g. judicial attitudes are known), hence nullifying the impact of judicial ideological preferences on case outcomes. I believe that the strategic case sorting process proposed in the law and economics literature does, in fact, affect the influence of judge ideology or attitudes on judicial outcomes. However, these two perspectives can be effectively wed to provide an integrated model of judicial decision making that accounts for the influences of both the strategic behavior of litigants and the attitudinal preferences of judges. I test this integrated model of decision making on case outcomes in
state supreme courts in the United States and employ an interactive specification to assess the influence of judicial ideology on outcomes while simultaneously accounting for litigants' (and justicesÕ) strategic case sorting behavior.

▼ Political scientists have long debated how presidential campaigns allocate resources within the framework of the Electoral College. The debate involves not only how the resources are allocated, but also extends to the definitions and measurements of the variables involved in the prediction and explanation of these resource allocations. This paper argues that presidential campaigns allocate resources based upon a state’s overall value within the Electoral College calculus. The concept of a state’s value is derived from the interaction of two independent variables: a state’s presidential election competitiveness and a state’s Electoral College votes. The dependent variable (campaign resources) is operationalized via candidate visits. From a causal viewpoint, a state’s value dictates how campaigns allocate resources (again, a state’s value represents the interaction between a state’s presidential election competitiveness and a state’s Electoral College votes; this will be addressed more during the discussion of the model). The expectation is that as a state’s value increases, so do the resources allocated to it. I contend that polls are a key component needed to measure a state’s overall value.

▼ The growth of campaign contributions in
state supreme courts has caused researchers to investigate the relationship between the contributions and justices’ decisions on the merit. While past research has concentrated solely on campaign contributions, this paper considers social networking theory, and takes into account the possibility of attorney characteristics having an effect on judicial decisions. Through a logit analysis of Georgia and Illinois
State Supreme Court decisions in 2003, this paper reveals mixed support for the effect of campaign contributions, and little support for the effect of attorney characteristics on judicial decisions.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the impact of
state mandated testing on 8th-12th grade social studies teachers, using the Thornton’s principle of gatekeeping as a theoretical framework. The focus of this study is to explore two research questions: 1. How do
state mandated tests influence social studies teachers' curricular, instructional, and assessment choices? 2. What is the relationship between standardization and social studies teachers' gatekeeping role? The research is grounded in a variety of different research fields including the general impact of high stakes testing, assessment, policy, and teacher decision-making literature. A mixed methods approach is used, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. Questionnaires were given to all 8th-12th-grade teachers in one small Georgia County. Interviews were then conducted to create a bounded case study. Participants were selected to represent different
subject matters, locations, and levels of teaching experience all possible factors that could affect how
state mandated tests influence social studies teachers. Major findings of the study reveal the test is creating a hierarchy of content at the high school level, that content is being narrowed given the amount of standards and time given to teach the required material, assessment practices are being altered as formative assessment is becoming less important in
informing instruction, instructional practices limit student involvement and tend to be more teacher driven and teachers are unable to be true gatekeepers. The conclusions derived from this study are teachers are making decisions that they would not otherwise make if there were no test and gatekeeping cannot truly be realized given the demands of the test. Additionally the study illuminates a need to further investigate the roles teachers are taking given the
state mandate tests, the decision that are being made and how teachers can guard their decision making power. Finally, the study provides suggestions for teacher educators on how to prepare future teachers to meet the demands of
state mandated testing.

▼ This study examined the lives of rural women of northeast Georgia through the prism of the Georgia
State Sanitarium. Based on the need to fill a gap in the literature on women from Georgia, this qualitative dissertation examined ninety patient records of women from northeast Georgia who were committed to the Georgia
State Sanitarium in Milledgeville and died there between 1886 and 1936. By analyzing these records, the researcher isolated three themes: the prevalence of control and confinement both on the way to and at the Sanitarium, the pervasiveness of poverty among the women and the common losses they endured. In addition to thematic analysis, the author used case studies to form a more textured glimpse of four women who were patients at the Sanitarium. Findings indicated the vulnerability of women during this period in history, the ambiguity of interactions with the Sanitarium, and the disconnect between female patients and their male physicians. Recommendations for the preservation of fragile hospital records are highlighted. This dissertation seeks to fill a gap in the literature by honoring the experiences of the many ordinary women who lived and died at Milledgeville.

▼ A significant factor that prevented the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) from becoming as calamitous as the Great Depression of 1929, is the fact that states reacted swiftly to inject massive sums of public money to save the banks and the global financial system.
This massive
state intervention highlighted the limits of the progressive deregulation of the international system which characterized the process of globalization. It showed that states had huge responsibilities in keeping the global economy afloat, albeit without a clear compass or direction. The apparent ‘anarchy’ of the global market system makes conceivable that, to paraphrase A. Wendt, “globalization should be what states make of it”.
Limiting the scope of study to the postmodern
state, and looking at the discourse surrounding the globalization process that promotes de-regulation and limited government within a ‘neo-liberal paradigm’ it looks at the ‘democratic deficit’ which weakens the political decision-making process. If not yet a ‘paradigm shift’, the GFC has many ingredients of a crisis of capitalism which needs to re-invent itself, and political action is crucial to curb the excesses of finance. Looking at France, and the election of Francois Hollande on a strong ‘anti-finance’ platform in 2012 and its European Union dimension, it remains to be seen if that kind of shift will actually be able to operate and be successful to set the tone for global reforms.
In conclusion, the core argument is that the global ‘trial’ of the neoliberal paradigm and the concept of financial deregulation should now enter a new phase. It is historically and symbolically the defeat of the self-regulating markets as a blueprint for global prosperity. The present structures are inadequate, and states have to find new ways for cooperation in order to steer this integrated world towards greater cohesion.

▼ This study aimed to determine if manipulation of two basic psychological needs, autonomy and relatedness, each had independent effects on inducing
state authenticity. Participants were randomly assigned to a condition where their autonomy need was either fulfilled or unfulfilled and their relatedness need was met or not. The autonomy need was manipulated as follows, a participant was asked to write an essay in accord with their personal beliefs (autonomy fulfilled) or against their personal beliefs (autonomy unfulfilled). The participant was accept or rejected for a future interaction on the basis of this essay by a bogus interaction partner. Potential mediators were also examined which included self-esteem, positive affect, negative affect, private self-consciousness and public self-consciousness. Analysis of the results using ANOVAs and ANCOVAs revealed a lack of effect of relatedness manipulation on
state authenticity and a lack of effect of the autonomy manipulation on two domains of
state authenticity as measured by the Wood, Linley, Maltby, Balisousis and Joseph’s (2008) adapted
state authenticity scale, authentic living and accepting external influence; possible explanations for this failure to find effects are described. This study found that manipulation of support for autonomy caused variation in levels of self alienation a third subscale of the Wood et al. (2008) authenticity scale. This effect was partially mediated by negative affect. Implications for theory regarding authenticity, and possible therapeutic methods are discussed

▼ Solid
state photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion based on a mixture of MEH-
PPV and MDMO-PPV, coated on ITO glass as light harvesting unit, a solid polymer
electrolyte, POMOE complexed with I3- /I- redox couple and oxidized PEDOT as counter
electrode have been fabricated and studied for its photoresponse behavior. The short
circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc), and fill factor (FF) of this mixed polymer
based PEC is higher than that of MEH-PPV based device. A PEC with a structure ITO│
(MEH-PPV:MDMO-PPV)│POMOE│: I3- /I-│PEDOT│ITO produce Voc of 289.7 mV,
Isc of 0.21 A/cm2 and FF of 0.32. The device showed an incident monochromatic photon
to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 0.0034% illuminated from front side and
0.00013% illuminated from back side. The dependence of Isc and Voc on incident light
intensity showed both Isc and Voc increases with increasing light intensity. The plot of
logIsc versus logPi yielded straight line with the power factor α is equal to 0.793. Our
results show that mixing of two donor type polymer, PEC show relatively improved
performance when compared with individual MEH-PPV based device.

▼ Background: Although it has been suspected from the early 1970s that there is a risk of impairment of cognitive function associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is only more recently that interest has increased in research on possible mechanisms of this association and cognitive function of a patient with type 2 diabetes is not usually evaluated in routine clinical care.
Aim: To assess the cognitive status of patients with type 2 diabetes and identify factors associated with it detected by MMSE.
Methods: Institution based crossectional quantitative study carried out on 384 clients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were selected by convenient sampling. The data was collected by interview using minimental
state examination form. Data entry was done in Epi Info version 3.5.1 and then the data exported to SPSS version 16.0 for analysis purpose. Prior to actual data collection, ethical clearance was taken from Addis Ababa University; School of Medicine Department of Nursing and Midwifery and Tikur Anebessa Hospital.
Result: A total of 384 type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatient respondents were participated in this study. The total MMSE score was 24.32 ± 3.510 points, with a range from 13 to 30. When the interpretation of this row score modified with educational level, 96(25%) respondents were cognitively impaired.
Male respondents were found to be significantly, however; negatively associated with impaired cognitive status. Clients with less than grade 8 education were a highest increase in odds of poor cognition than higher education of their complements. Moreover, respondents having lower income were 2.6 times positively associated with impaired cognitive status than respondents with high income.
ix
Study subjects aged 41-50 and 50-60 were shown to have less cognitive impairment than aged 61 and above of their counterparts respectively. In addition, respondents who have been using insulin therapy were presented as impaired cognitive status as compared to those OHA users when analyzed with binary logistic regression.
Conclusion and recommendation: Patients with type 2 diabetes should be regularly evaluated for their cognitive function, because duration and severity of disease could be associated with decline in cognition. The early implementation of mini-mental, which is a simple method of execution, can be done to detect early stages of cognitive impairment. Future studies will be important to better identify risk factors for cognitive dysfunction and lighten its relationship with diabetes.

Предмет дисертације односи се на питање овлашћења
која има председник Сједињених Америчких Држава на плану спољне
политике током трајања нередовних околности. Ова овлашћења утврђена
су важећим уставним и подуставним прописима (законима и
резолуцијама америчког Конгреса), а развијана су историјском
праксом функционисања ове уставне институције Сједињених Држава.
Чињеница да ова тематика не може да буде правилно научно обрађена
без консултовања норми јавноправног поретка Сједињених Држава

године, током XIX и XX века (а посебно у другој половини ХХ века)
умножени су примерци уставне књижевности који се односе на развој
институција у оквиру америчког председничког система. Под посебну
лупу научне јавности стављена је улога савременог шефа америчке
државе. Научна концептуализација односа између различитих
институција у оквиру овог уставног система, те учешћа других –
ванинституционалних – фактора у обликовању и спровођењу америчке
спољне политике прецизније је обрађена од стране нешто ужег броја
аутора. Питање овлашћења америчке егзекутиве у међународним
односима за време рата и озбиљних кризних ситуација обрађивано је
са различитих, често и дијаметрално супротних полазишта. Према
једном концепту, средишња установа америчке извршне власти прерасла
је своја уставна овлашћења и постала доминантан фактор у целокупној
политичкој структури америчког система. Ово, по тим ауторима, носи
јасне (са либерално-конституционалистичке тачке гледишта неповољне)
последице по спољну политику Сједињених Држава, али и повратно – по
механизме законодавне контроле егзекутиве. Теорија по којој
председник постепено постаје (или већ јесте) безмало суверени
чинилац у америчком уставном поретку није нова. Њене зачетке могуће
је пронаћи већ на крају XVIII века Са друге стране, нису усамљени
ни ставови о нужном и корисном уставнополитичком првенству
председника, али ни тезе о великом утицају Конгреса на послове
председника. Конгресне истраге оспориле су ранију слику о
председнику који води и Конгресу који следи.

▼ III-Nitride semiconductors have a tunable direct band
gap starting from 0.7 to 6.2 eV, which makes them one of the most
useful material systems especially for optoelectronic applications.
Regarding to the solar cell applications, the highest efficiencies
have been reported by using InGaP/(In)GaAs/Ge multi-junction solar
cells. Since this material system is limited with a widest
applicable band gap for InGaP around 1.86 eV, highest solar cell
efficiencies has been limited by lack of solar cells having a band
gap around 2.3 eV. In this research, 2.3 eV InGaN p-i-n solar cells
has been simulated and shown that the optimum thickness of the
intrinsic layer thickness is a strong function of minority carrier
mobility and lifetime. The results indicated that efficiency of
InGaN p-n junction solar cells can be enhanced ~35% by using
optimized p-i-n designs. III-Nitrides have been widely used for
light emitting diode (LED) applications. The researches have been
conducted on devices grown various crystal planes including c-
(Ga-polar), semi-polar and non-polar planes. However, based on our
knowledge, the N-polar orientation of c-plane has not been studied
both theoretically and experimentally. Thus, in this report, the
Silvaco Atlas simulations have been carried out for both Ga-polar
and N-polar single quantum well blue LEDs. The results have pointed
out that N-polar LEDs show much less electron and hole overflow
current with ~ 1V less turn-on voltage operation compared to
Ga-polar LEDs. In the experimental part, the first N-polar green
led grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been demonstrated.
The device showed peak emission wavelengths varying from 564.5 to
540 nm. The full width at half-maximum reduced from 74 to 63 nm as
the drive current was increased to 180 A/cm2.

▼ Researchers such as Tinto (1993), Astin (1975) and Kuh (1995) have found that most students who are engaged with their college environment have a greater connection with the institution and in some instances, higher rates of persistence than non-engaged students. Today, colleges and universities offer a variety of extracurricular options such as student government, athletics and various clubs and organizations. In addition to these options, institutions are also offering students more opportunities to volunteer. Such opportunities include community service and service learning, which incorporates classroom material into activities outside the classroom. Florida State University (FSU) estimates that nearly 2,000 students participate in service activities each year. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of volunteering on two measures of academic achievement: grade point average and persistence from freshman to sophomore year. Student transcript data was provided by the Registrar. The study drew on the population of native FSU freshman for the 2006-07 academic year, which was comprised of 5,974 students. Of that population, 464 students earned at least one hour of service at Florida State University. Linear and logistic regressions were used to analyze four hypotheses related to the effect of the volunteering on academic achievement. These models predicted that for every hour of service that a student earns, their GPA would increase by .05. However, the results did not indicate a significant effect of volunteering on persistence from the Spring 2007 to Fall 2007 semester. The results of this study offer support for continued research of this topic, as there are several areas for further review of this relationship, particularly on campuses that are dissimilar to Florida State University, which has a very high persistence rate (nearly 90%) and has shown an obvious interest in service opportunities.

▼ The impacts of school resources on student achievement have been debated for half a century with no consensus reached among scholars. This topic has received increasing attention under the backdrop of both the educational accountability movement and the economic downturn of recent years. Using student and school-level longitudinal data from Florida, this study examines the impacts of school resources on student achievement in math. The study also examines whether and how the impacts of school resources vary for students with different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and whether the marginal effects of school inputs diminish with input levels. Overall, this study does not find consistent evidence showing a causal relation between added school expenditure and student achievement in math within school-and-principals. However, the results indicate that differences in per student expenditures are statistically related to differences in student achievement in math across schools and principals at the elementary and middle school levels. Since these correlations may stem from the impacts of unobserved characteristics of students, schools and principals, further investigations are necessary to make firm conclusions. This study calls more attention to the way current resouces are used. More specifically, neither a reduction in class size nor an increase in average years of teacher experience may improve student academic performance. However, an increase in the percentages of teachers with advanced degrees may raise student achievement in math at the elementary and high school levels. The percentages of classes being taught by in-field teachers also matters for student achievement at high school level. This study also indicates that the impacts of per student expenditure and class size may vary for students with different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, thus more attention should to be given to the special needs of these disadvantaged groups. However, since some conditional funding programs are not considered in this study, further investigations need to be conducted for more definitive conclusions.

▼ America's postsecondary education system currently supports nearly 11 million people, but only 33-37% of these students will actually graduate with a Baccalaureate degree (Kuh, Kinzie, Schuh, Whitt & Associates, 2005; OECD, 2009). Researchers have been examining various aspects of America's "persistence puzzle" for the past 30 years. The majority of these studies have focused on the academic and social environs of first-year, native students enrolled in large university programs (Braxton, Sullivan, & Johnson, 1997), where America's transfer student populations have been restricted or excluded (Townsend & Wilson, 2009). These restrictions represent a rather significant oversight in the current literature, given that approximately 52% of America's first-year postsecondary students are enrolled in community college programs (Cejda, 1997; Keener, 1994) and that nearly 40% of today's graduates will transfer between several institutions before obtaining a baccalaureate degree (NCES, 2005). Furthermore, the majority of these studies have relied on quantitative methods/data, which address persistence as an outcomes, rather than a series of events/experiences that contribute to a student's decision to withdraw (Tinto, 1993). As a result, we know very little about the psychological and environmental challenges students face as they transition between institutions (Laanan, 2004). Even those studies that have referred to the "transfer shock" students experience during their transition have failed to explore the methods, attributes, stresses (both psychological, social & cultural), or the strategies students employ to relieve these stresses (Holahan, Green, & Kelley, 1983; Laanan, 2001). This study examined the adjustment process of vertical transfer students who recently transferred to a four-year, Research I, Baccalaureate university in the southeast United States. It applied Adelman's (2006) definition of a vertical transfer student as: someone who began his or her postsecondary education in a community college, earned a at least 10 college credits and then transferred to a Baccalaureate university. This definition was then applied to a specific group of vertical transfer students who recently transferred from a single, local community college, less than three miles from the university, as these students represent approximately 43.3% of the total incoming transfer student population at the Baccalaureate institution (OIR, 2012b). The primary goals of this study were to define the transfer student experience, assist future transfer students with their transitions, and assess the quality/effectiveness of current programs so that staff, faculty and administrators could align and/or improve cooperative persistence programs that exist between these two institutions. After all, the rigors these students face during their adjustment to life as university students will have a significant impact on their persistence and/or success (Astin, 1984, Tinto, 1993, Townsend & Wilson, 2009).

▼ This dissertation is a case study and historical analysis of the rise of indigenous organizing in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico over the past three decades. The primary focus is on how indigenous organizations in Oaxaca reconstructed indigenous identity over the past three decades as part of their mobilization activities. The study traces the evolution of indigenous organizing from its roots in traditional peasant movements demanding land rights to its transformation in the 1980s and 1990s into an identity-based movement demanding indigenous rights and autonomy. This transformation is documented by examining changes in political strategies, organizational forms and discourses of the movement, particularly for the 1989-1997 period, when movement activity intensified and organizations making identity-based demands took center stage. The study also addresses the historical and structural factors that shaped the struggle, such as the initial indigenous resistance to the Spanish colonizers, the continuing resistance and adaptation throughout the colonial period and into the 20th century, the distinctive role of the post-revolutionary Mexican state, rural economic crisis, and the critical influence of the Zapatista movement in the neighboring of Chiapas. The study concludes with an analysis of a series of Zapatista-inspired debates about indigenous autonomy and their implications for the future of indigenous organizing in Oaxaca, including the definition of a long-term strategy of cultural revitalization at the community level as the starting point for extending indigenous autonomy to larger political, cultural, and geographic entities.
