First Birth in Russia: Everyone does It - Young
Until the early 1990s, the common characteristics of Russian fertility were early and almost universal marriage and childbearing. In this article I examine the impact of cohort on first birth. I follow Russian women (based on self-reported ethnicity) born between 1930 and 1986 by applying event history techniques to the Russian Generation and Gender Survey (GSS). The results show that first birth took place earlier in womens lives cohorts born from the 1930s to the 1960s cohort. Among younger women, the trend is opposite, but it is too early to speak of a strong postponement effect. Differences in first-birth risk between cohorts are due to differences in marriage and cohabitation patterns
Advanced heat receiver conceptual design study
Solar Dynamic space power systems are candidate electrical power generating systems for future NASA missions. One of the key components of the solar dynamic power system is the solar receiver/thermal energy storage (TES) subsystem. Receiver development was conducted by NASA in the late 1960's and since then a very limited amount of work has been done in this area. Consequently the state of the art (SOA) receivers designed for the IOC space station are large and massive. The objective of the Advanced Heat Receiver Conceptual Design Study is to conceive and analyze advanced high temperature solar dynamic Brayton and Stirling receivers. The goal is to generate innovative receiver concepts that are half of the mass, smaller, and more efficient than the SOA. It is also necessary that these innovative receivers offer ease of manufacturing, less structural complexity and fewer thermal stress problems. Advanced Brayton and Stirling receiver storage units are proposed and analyzed in this study which can potentially meet these goals

"Because You're Worth It" Multilingualism in Finnish Television Advertising
Monikielisyys on osa suomalaisten jokapÀivÀistÀ elÀmÀÀ. SiitÀ syystÀ koin merkitykselliseksi tutkia, miten vieraat kielet ovat edustettuina suomalaisessa televisiomainonnassa. Valitsin kolme televisiosarjaa, suomalaisen saippuasarjan Salatut elÀmÀt, amerikkalaisen draamasarjan TÀydelliset naiset ja niin ikÀÀn amerikkalaisen draamasarjan Asema 62. Kyseisten sarjojen uskotaan vetoavan eri katsojakuntaan, mikÀ taas vaikuttaa tauoilla esitettÀviin mainoksiin ja niissÀ kÀytettÀviin kieliin. Nauhoitin sarjoja marraskuussa 2009 siten, ettÀ jokaisesta sarjasta minulla oli tutkittavana neljÀ mainoskatkoa, yhteensÀ 138 mainosta. Mainosten analysoinnissa kÀytin apunani Guy Cookin luokittelua televisiomainonnalle tyypillisistÀ piirteistÀ sekÀ Helen Kelly-Holmesin tutkimusta monikielisestÀ mainonnasta.
Yleishuomiona voidaan todeta, ettÀ monikielisyys on erittÀin nÀkyvÀssÀ osassa suomalaisessa televisionmainonnassa. Suurimmaksi osaksi kieliÀ kÀytetÀÀn kuitenkin siten, ettÀ katsoja ymmÀrtÀÀ mainoksen ilman kielitaitoakin. Tulokseni osoittavat, ettÀ televisiosarjojen katsojakunnat vaikuttavat monikielisyyteen mainonnassa. Toisaalta Salattujen elÀmien mainoskatkoilla kÀytettiin huomattavasti enemmÀn pelkÀstÀÀn suomenkielisiÀ mainoksia verrattuna TÀydellisiin naisiin ja Asema 62:een. TÀmÀ selittyy ainakin osittain sillÀ, ettÀ Salatuilla elÀmillÀ on kaikkein heterogeenisin katsojakunta. TÀydellisten naisten mainoskatkoilla oli eniten aikuisille naisille suunnattuja monikielisiÀ mainoksia, kun taas Asema 62:n mainoskatkoilla oli osittain monikielisiÀ mainoksia, joiden on perinteisesti uskottu vetoavan miespuolisiin katsojiin. Useimmiten monikielisissÀ mainoksissa on koodinvaihtoa eli sekÀ suomea ettÀ vierasta kieltÀ, mutta nauhoitetuista mainoskatkoista löytyi myös tÀysin vieraskielisiÀ mainoksia.fi=OpinnÀytetyö kokotekstinÀ PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=LÀrdomsprov tillgÀngligt som fulltext i PDF-format
Exploration of the relationships between Google searches and Bitcoinâs volatility, traded volume and price
Bitcoin has gained more and more press coverage during the past few years.Bitcoin is also fairly new phenomena, and as such it has not been researched as much as other, more traditional financial assets. Bitcoin is also highly speculative asset. That is why information demand is important variable when looking at Bitcoinâs key figures, which are: price, volatility and traded volume.
This paper uses Google Searches (Google Trend Index) as an independent variable whereas Bitcoinâs price, volatility and traded volume are dependent variables. The aim of the study is to find relationships between the independent variable and the dependent variables, through correlations and regression models. The data will be examined yearly from 2014 to 2017.
The paper is exploratory in nature, meaning that it will not make specific hypothesizes, due to the lack of research conducted on Bitcoin, but will make more broad assumptions on the results. The aim of the paper is to create foundation for future research and gain more information on the matter and possibly gain new perspectives.
The main findings of this study were upward trend and overall very high correlations across all years. However, the results for 2017 were significantly higher than the previous years.
All the regression models showed positive coefficients meaning that as the Google Trend Index rises so does Bitcoin price, volatility and traded volume. However, the rise in volatility was fairly limited. Also, nearly all the regression model results were significant. The problem of internal validity existed in the study, which meant that no causal relationship could be found
"Les médecins exercent l'un des métiers les plus durs qui soient" : interview de Gianfranco Domenighetti, économiste de la santé et ancien directeur du Service cantonal de la santé publique du Tessin
Fin janvier 2007, Gianfranco Domenighetti, l'une des personnalités les plus marquantes du systÚme de santé suisse, a pris sa retraite de directeur du Service cantonal de la santé publique du Canton du Tessin. Cet économiste de la santé, toujours trÚs actif, jette un regard rétrospectif sur ses 40 années de carriÚre. [Auteurs]]]>

<![CDATA[The long term goal of this research is to develop a program able to produce an automatic segmentation and categorization of textual sequences into discourse types. In this preliminary contribution, we present the construction of an algorithm which takes a segmented text as input and attempts to produce a categorization of sequences, such as narrative, argumentative, descriptive and so on. Also, this work aims at investigating a possible convergence between the typological approach developed in particular in the field of text and discourse analysis in French by Adam (2008) and Bronckart (1997) and unsupervised statistical learning
