Letter of Pope Benedict XV To The Most Reverend Father Master Louis Theissling, Master General of the Dominican Order, On the occasion of the Seventh Centenary of the Confirmation of the Order
This small pamphlet contains not only Pope Benedict XVâs celebratory letter to the Order of Preachers on its 700th hundred anniversary, but also two letters by the Master General of the Dominican Order, Father Louis Theissling, O.P. The first letter by Father Theissing, addressed to the Dominican Order in general discusses the date, December 22, as the formal day of celebration as well as urging the Dominican community that they should not neglect the observance.
Father Theisslingâs second letter, also addressed to the whole of the Order of Preachers, is a letter of encouragement, exhortation, and blessing for the Order to continue its mission of education and preaching of the gospel.https://digitalcommons.providence.edu/catholic_documents/1000/thumbnail.jp
Explaining Economic Performance in the Haitian Economy
This paper develops a methodology to ascertain the determinants of growth in the Haitian economy. The methodology uses co-integration to identify those variables that can help explain economic activity, measured through GDP. This idea, pioneered by Hamilton and Perez- Quiros (1996), has the advantage of allowing for a smaller data set than the ones used by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The results of this paper show that external and financial variables can provide Haitian policymakers with a good signaling device of the true performance of the economy. These variables are available before GDP, allowing policymakers to take preemptive measures to improve performance of the economy.Granger causality, co-integration, economic growth
Economy and Environmental Problems in the Mexican Coastal States
A canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) for environmental and economic variables was performed for 17 Mexican coastal states. The ordination method allowed us to identify three groups, namely hydroelectric energy generation (I), pollution (II) and harbours (III), which were associated to different human activities. Furthermore, CCA is efficient to help us generate hypotheses for future research. It is therefore advised that CCA should be used for routine analyses into economics.Coastal States of Mexico, Canonical Correspondence Analysis, Diversity Index, Economic Development, Environmental Variables.
THEATRE AS THE REPRESENTATIVE SCENE OF THE POWER OF COURT: THE FIFTEENTH- AND SIXTEENTH-CENTURY ITALIAN EXEMPLA
Tra XV e XVI secolo il teatro diviene luogo deputato alla rappresentazione della corte . Il luogo teatrale manifesta emblematicamente la metafora del potere e del prestigio del casato .
Sin dalla seconda metĂ del XV secolo la corte di Ferrara mette in atto, attraverso la figura di Pellegrino Prisciani, unâ operazione culturale orientata
al recupero dei testi e del teatro classico.Il saggio analizza il coerente percorso della festa e della sua rappresentazione a Ferrara nel XV secolo e nel XVI secolo , evidenziando rapporti tematici e compositivi con gli affreschi di palazzo Schifanoia
Analyse des besoins et usages du corps enseignant et de la direction de la Haute Ă©cole de gestion de GenĂšve en matiĂšre d'information
Le prĂ©sent travail de Bachelor a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© sur mandat de lâInfothĂšque de la Haute Ă©cole de gestion de GenĂšve (HEG). La responsable de cette bibliothĂšque acadĂ©mique souhaite en effet actualiser sa connaissance des besoins et usages de son public dâenseignants, chercheurs, assistants, ainsi que des membres de la direction de lâĂ©cole. Une enquĂȘte a donc Ă©tĂ© conçue et menĂ©e auprĂšs de trente enseignants de la HEG, sous forme dâentretiens individuels et de Focus groups, afin de pouvoir dĂ©crire leurs habitudes documentaires. Ce rapport en prĂ©sente les rĂ©sultats ainsi que leur analyse, principalement sous forme de tendances. On peut en effet distinguer diffĂ©rents profils-types parmi le public de lâInfothĂšque. Le chercheur a recours Ă des articles scientifiques, auxquels il accĂšde par les bases de donnĂ©es spĂ©cialisĂ©es mises Ă disposition par lâInfothĂšque. Il est autonome et estime pouvoir se dĂ©brouiller dans ses recherches. Lâenseignant, lui, a recours Ă de lâinformation scientifique pour prĂ©parer ses cours, mais dans une plus moindre mesure. Il a recours aux ressources de lâInfothĂšque notamment pour y rediriger ses Ă©tudiants. Quant Ă la direction de lâĂ©cole, elle nâa pas recours aux services de lâInfothĂšque en matiĂšre de documentation car nâa pas ce type de besoins dans lâexercice de ses activitĂ©s. Elle estime tout de mĂȘme que lâInfothĂšque est un outil important au sein de lâĂ©cole et que, mĂȘme si les professeurs en usent peu, celle-ci peut poursuivre son dĂ©veloppement en cherchant toujours Ă amĂ©liorer la qualitĂ© de ses services et la diversitĂ© de son offre. Suite Ă cette enquĂȘte, un certain nombre de recommandations allant dans le sens de ces besoins et usages pouvaient ĂȘtre formulĂ©s Ă lâattention de lâInfothĂšque. Ces recommandations touchent divers plans, comme par exemple le soutien Ă apporter pour la recherche, pour la formation ou encore pour la collaboration au sein de lâĂ©cole. Dâautres recommandations concernent le suivi des besoins des usagers. On peut suggĂ©rer par exemple Ă lâInfothĂšque de laisser aux enseignants lâautonomie dâexprimer leurs besoins ponctuels et de mettre en place un systĂšme dâenquĂȘtes afin de suivre lâĂ©volution des besoins et usages de son public Ă moyen et long terme
An investigation of Fe XV emission lines in solar flare spectra
Previously, large discrepancies have been found between theory and
observation for Fe XV emission line ratios in solar flare spectra covering the
224-327 A wavelength range, obtained by the Naval Research Laboratory's S082A
instrument on board Skylab. These discrepancies have been attributed to either
errors in the adopted atomic data or the presence of additional atomic
processes not included in the modelling, such as fluorescence. However our
analysis of these plus other S082A flare observations (the latter containing Fe
XV transitions between 321-482 A), performed using the most recent Fe XV atomic
physics calculations in conjunction with a CHIANTI synthetic flare spectrum,
indicate that blending of the lines is primarily responsible for the
discrepancies. As a result, most Fe XV lines cannot be employed as electron
density diagnostics for solar flares, at least at the spectral resolution of
S082A and similar instruments (i.e. ~ 0.1 A). An exception is the intensity
ratio I(321.8 A)/I(327.0 A), which appears to provide good estimates of the
electron density at this spectral resolution.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Astronomy & Astrophysics, in pres
