Transcending Borders: Imagined/Real and Primitive/Civilised Communities in the Novels of E.L. Grant Watson

Questions of myth, landscape and self constituting a sense of place have played a significant role in much literature written in and about Australia and continue to do so; from the folkloric works of Henry Lawson and “Banjo” Patterson in the 1890’s to the novels of Katharine Prichard, Patrick White and Tim Winton, for example. Perhaps surprisingly, the novels of English Biologist, amateur anthropologist and psychologist, metaphysician and colonialist E.L. Grant Watson (1885-1970) belong to this tradition

Kaupapa Māori and a new curriculum in Aotearoa/New Zealand

While geographical education is our focus in this paper, the broader colonial history of education is the backdrop against which we first view the principles of Māori geographies in education. The essay underscores the importance of ‘authenticity’, the participation of local communities and local studies connected to local environments and histories. We use an educational program of the Raglan Area School on Whaingaroa Harbour as an illustrative example. The geographies of Whaingaroa Harbour provide an exemplary context for programs in geographical education and we suggest that the new curriculum in both English and Te Reo Māori (Māori language) can enhance the movement towards bi-cultural education in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Our argument is that the 2007 curriculum creates the opportunity; the impediments lie in providing appropriate resources and developing community support for the delivery of the bicultural educational approaches. is an important issue in debates about educational policy and implementing a new curriculum in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This paper explores how the development of the 2007 curriculum in Aotearoa/New Zealand attempted to address curriculum, teaching and learning options for Māori. Māori are a significant national community with needs and aspirations in education. Māori have tangata whenua status in Aotearoa/New Zealand, where this term acknowledges the arrival and settlement of migrant people of the Pacific centuries prior to significant European colonization in the 19th Century. While progress has been made in Māori education since the significant Treaty of Waitangi Act in 1975, we wish to explore the potential of Kaupapa Māori (Māori practice) in the development of a new curriculum, Te Marautanga o Aotearoa

Analisis Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Kebijakan Dividen

This research aims to analyze factors which influence dividend policy. Variables include company life cycle, investment opportunity set, earnings, size, managerial ownership and institutional ownership. This research is used quantitative approach by using multiple linear regression. For samples is the manufacturing company that allocated dividend for period 2004-2008 which listed on PT Bursa Efek Indonesia. The number of observation are equal to 125. Research finding indicates that size, earnings and managerial ownership doesn't affect significantly to dividend policy. Company life cycle gives significantly negative affect to dividend policy, investment opportunity set and institutional ownership significantly positive affect to dividend policy

Reading Strategies of Average and Weak ESL Readers a Case Study

This study approaches reading from the psycholinguistic standpoint. Miscue analysis is used to investigate the reading strategies of a group of average and weak ESL readers from Sekolah Menengah Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. The readers' miscues were analyzed in accordance with Yetta Goodman and Burke's Reading Miscue Inventory (1972). The research addresses itself to the question of how these readers utilized the language cues - graphophonic, syntactic and semantic - to help them make sense of the text. The findings shows that both groups of readers depended extensively on graphophonic cues and were less efficient in using syntactic and semantic cues. Qualitative analysis of the miscues show that when the readers did resort to the syntactic and semantic cues, the average readers produced better quality miscues. The applicability of miscue analysis as a research tool is indicated in the suggestions for further research. The pedagogical implications of the findings underscore the practical use of miscue analysis in the classroom

Penerapan Metode Branch and Bound Dalam Menentukan Jumlah Produksi Optimum Pada CV. Xyz

CV. XYZ merupakan sebuah industri manufacturing yang bergerakdibidang industri konveksi. Industri ini tidak memiliki metode tertentu yang pastidalam menentukan jumlah produksi masing-masing jenis celana. Oleh karena itu,perlu dilakukan penelitian apakah jumlah produksi yang selama ini dihasilkan su-dah optimal atau belum. Metode yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalahmetode program integer yaitu metode Branch and Bound. Penelitian ini ditinjauberdasarkan jumlah persediaan bahan baku, permintaan pasar, laba, dan waktu pem-buatan tiap celana. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa jumlah poduksi optimal darimasing-masing jenis celana (celana panjang pria, celana panjang wanita, celanapendek pria, celana pendek wanita) dapat diperoleh dalam 3 alternatif yaitu 1.600buah, 900 buah, 1.231 buah, 874 buah; 1.600 buah, 898 buah, 1.231 buah, 874buah; 1.600 buah, 897 buah, 1.231 buah, 874 buah dengan keuntungan sebesarRp. 53.292.000,00 per bulan

Almost thermal operations: inhomogeneous reservoirs

The resource theory of thermal operations explains the state transformations that are possible in a very specific thermodynamic setting: there is only one thermal bath, auxiliary systems can only be in corresponding thermal state (free states), and the interaction must commute with the free Hamiltonian (free operation). In this paper we study the mildest deviation: the reservoir particles are subject to inhomogeneities, either in the local temperature (introducing resource states) or in the local Hamiltonian (generating a resource operation). For small inhomogeneities, the two models generate the same channel and thus the same state transformations. However, their thermodynamics is significantly different when it comes to work generation or to the interpretation of the "second laws of thermal operations".Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures.
