    If B is an infinite subset of omega and X is a topological group, let C^X_B be the set of all x in X such that converges to 1. If F is a filter of infinite sets, let D^X_F be the union of all the C^X_B for B in F. The C^X_B and D^X_F are subgroups of X when X is abelian. In the circle group T, it is known that C^X_B always has measure 0. We show that there is a filter F such that D^T_F has measure 0 but is not contained in any C^X_B. There is another filter G such that D^X_G = T. We also describe the relationship between D^T_F and the D^X_F for arbitrary compact groups X.Comment: 16 page

    Limits in compact abelian groups

    Let X be compact abelian group and G its dual (a discrete group). If B is an infinite subset of G, let C_B be the set of all x in X such that <phi(x) : phi \in B> converges to 1. If F is a free filter on G, let D_F be the union of all the C_B for B in F. The sets C_B and D_F are subgroups of X. C_B always has Haar measure 0, while the measure of D_F depends on F. We show that there is a filter F such that D_F has measure 0 but is not contained in any C_B. This generalizes previous results for the special case where X is the circle group.Comment: 14 page

    New frontiers in international strategy

    This paper is based on a panel we organized at the "First Annual Conference on Emerging Research Frontiers in International Business Studies", organized by the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS), to discuss several new lines of research in international strategy. Four lines of research are developed: The strategic implications of semiglobalization, the impact of institutional voids in international strategy, primitives and levels of analysis in international business, and strategies for the base of the pyramid. Taken together, these studies aim to open a new frontier in our understanding of International Strategy, based on the co-location of firms as places and a key element in international business.international business; semiglobalization; internal strategy; base pyramid; institutions; competitiveness;

    This is the publisher's version, also found here: http://cec.metapress.com/content/q473527322248262/?p=014673d7b6bc491891c1b5b4516bda13&pi=5The article discusses strategies for successful communication and collaboration between parents of children with disabilities and educators in individualized education programs (IEPs) that are mandated by the U.S. Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The authors look at communication over least restrictive environment (LEA) educational approaches which place students with disabilities in classroom settings like those of students without disabilities. Topics include educational leadership in IEPs, parent participation in IEPs in U.S. special education, and school district responsibilities for IEPs

    Social physique anxiety and physical activity in early adolescent girls : the influence of maturation and physical activity motives

    This study considered the influence of maturation on social physique anxiety (SPA), the relationship between SPA and current and future physical activity (PA) levels and the influence of motives for physical activity on this relationship in early adolescent girls (n=162; mean age=11.80±0.33 years). Participants completed the Pubertal Development Scale, the modified Social Physique Anxiety Scale and the Motives for Physical Activity Scale at baseline and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children at baseline and 6 months later. The girls became less active across the 6 months and girls in the early stages of maturation had significantly lower SPA than the girls in the middle and late stages of maturation. SPA was not related to current or future physical activity in the sample as a whole. Cluster analysis identified four groups with different motive profiles and the High Appearance and Fitness group demonstrated a moderate negative relationship between SPA and PA at phase 1, whereas the other groups did not. These findings indicate that SPA may increase with maturation and the relationship between SPA and PA is dependent on reasons for being active. For girls who are motivated to be active primarily by body-related reasons SPA is likely to lead to lower levels of PA
