Productivity Measurement: Alternative Approaches and Estimates

This paper provides a review of conceptual and methodological issues in measuring productivity. Attention is given to the concept of productivity and the relationship between productivity and technological change. Different approaches to measuring productivity are surveyed and the results from a number of NZ productivity studies are summarised. The availability of appropriate input and output data is essential for the accurate measurement of productivity and therefore this paper also discusses some important data issues that influence productivity measurement.Productivity; Measurement Issues; New Zealand; Technological Change

Solving time-dependent two-dimensional eddy current problems

Results of transient eddy current calculations are reported. For simplicity, a two-dimensional transverse magnetic field which is incident on an infinitely long conductor is considered. The conductor is assumed to be a good but not perfect conductor. The resulting problem is an interface initial boundary value problem with the boundary of the conductor being the interface. A finite difference method is used to march the solution explicitly in time. The method is shown. Treatment of appropriate radiation conditions is given special consideration. Results are validated with approximate analytic solutions. Two stringent test cases of high and low frequency incident waves are considered to validate the results

Inclusive Scholarship: Developing Balck Studies In The United States

Entering the public domain as part of the proliferating scholarship on African American Studies, this retrospective provides an appropriate occasion to assess the Ford Foundation's role in the institutionalization and legitimization of African American Studies in the academy, to offer a critical review of the four Foundation-sponsored reports, to assess the responses of the Foundation to the suggestions of the authors as regards future support, and to consider the consequences of the foundation's funding decisions over the last 25 years on the future of AfricanAmerican Studies. From this review, the conclusions drawn suggest how the foundation might continue its historic role in helping to support the field through its next stage of development

Being Stalked: A Psychiatrist\u27s Perspective

It is only recently that stalking has been criminalized after some highly publicized forensic cases. Psychiatric focus has been on erotomania, and in this article we primarily highlight stalking as a separate entity with psychiatric and legal implications. The case reports reveal our vulnerability as therapists, and we hope will raise our awareness of stalking as a potentially dangerous situation. The legal statutes vary in different states, but our recommendations may provide guidelines towards formulating policies and procedures for the safety of healthcare providers
