THE UNITED STATES IN THE GLOBAL SOYBEAN MARKET: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
This study applies the concept of a dynamic dominant-firm oligopoly model to the international soybean market. It has been suggested that the international soybean market should be viewed as an oligopoly among exporting nations. Consistent with Gaskins (1971) dynamic dominant firm model, our results indicate that the current U.S. loan deficiency-payment prices and their predecessors created an environment in which smaller (fringe) exporters could prosper and expand. The reduction of U.S. market share is thus a logical outcome of an "optimally managed decline" a la Gaskins. The study finds U.S. market share to decline at a reducing rate and predicts U.S. market share eventually to stabilize, given the expanding international market for soybeans and products. Recognition of the structure of international soybean market has policy implications for the 2002 farm program as the classic dominant firm model suggests.Crop Production/Industries, International Relations/Trade,
Brukarens roll i vÀlfÀrdsforskning och utvecklingsarbete
Tekstene er fra forelesninger samt fra doktorantkurset "Brukarmedverkan i forskning och utvecklingsarbete inom hĂ€lso- och sjukvĂ„rd, socialt arbete och omsorg". Kurset ble avholdt vĂ„ren 2009.Fra omslag: PĂ„ 1980-talet blev âbrukareâ ett modeord i offentlig förvaltning och förvaltningsforskning.
Termen betecknar den som anvÀnder sig av vÀlfÀrdsservice (jfr. engelskans service user),
eller âslutmottagareâ av offentlig nyttighet eller Ă„tgĂ€rd.
Brukare av vÀlfÀrdstjÀnster vet hur hjÀlp och service fungerar i praktiken och kan dÀrför
ge synnerligen viktig Ă„terkoppling enligt devisen: âDen som har skorna pĂ„ fötterna vet

Det finns inte mycket dokumentation och forskning kring brukarmedverkan i utvecklingsarbete

Polyamorphism mirrors polymorphism in the liquidâliquid transition of a molecular liquid
Liquid-liquid transitions between two amorphous phases in a single-component liquid (polyamorphism) have defied explanation and courted controversy. All known examples of liquidâliquid transitions have been observed in the supercooled liquid suggesting an intimate connection with vitrification and locally favored structures inhibiting crystallization. However, there is precious little information about the local molecular packing in supercooled liquids meaning that the order parameter of the transition is still unknown. Here, we investigate the liquidâliquid transition in triphenyl phosphite and show that it is caused by the competition between liquid structures that mirror two crystal polymorphs. The liquidâliquid transition is found to be between a geometrically frustrated liquid to a dynamically frustrated glass. These results indicate a general link between polymorphism and polyamorphism and will lead to a much greater understanding of the physical basis of liquidâliquid transitions and allow the discovery of other examples
Migration and disability narratives from an intersectional perspective : a photovoice study
The aim of this paper is to explore everyday life experiences of migration and disability from an intersectional perspective drawing on issues such as gender, class, and ethnicity. This is relevant because when focus is on either migration or disability, unique challenges faced by disabled migrants are neglected, leading to fragmented support and a lack of accurate knowledge. The analysis is based on retrospective data from photovoice sessions conducted within the context of a community-based project, Disabled Refugees Welcome (DRW). A secondary analysis has involved eight of the members from the original photovoice sessions as well as academics. The results are presented in a narrative thematic analysis. The findings show how the combined effects of liminality, structural violence (lack of accessible and adapted housing, lack of access to knowledge about societal resources), and multiple discrimination risks can result in permanent exclusion
