Revolutionizing Education through Technology

Economic competition is global, focused, and unrelenting; there is no such thing as a “safe” job. Whatever it was that formed the basis of your state’s economy 50, 25, or even 10 years ago is now at risk; and whatever it is that is coming next is hard to see or define, let alone prepare for. This came home to me in the late 1990s when the bloom of the dot com bubble was beginning to fade…

IPv6 for Enterprise Networks

The success of most IT projects can be boiled down to how well they were planned, test- ed, and piloted. It is critical to the success of any IPv6 rollout to establish a lab and work through the network configurations, application deployment, operating system nuances, and management of the entire environment. The lessons learned from the lab directly translate into a more streamlined pilot. Eve…

FINDING THE BODY IN THE MIND

Freud is not dead. Far from it. In the year of the 150th anniversary of his birth we can truly say that his ideas are undergoing a renaissance. Freud is everywhere. And especially in neuroscience, we are taking a new look at his work and concluding that it is “still the most coherent and intellectually satisfying view of the mind” (Kandel, 1998) that we have. (Mark Solms, 2006, last page) …

Privacy and Social Networking Sites

College students are relying on the Internet to make connections with other people every day (Lukianoff and Creeley, 2007; Verga, 2007; Hodge, 2006). As the Internet has developed and grown, so have the capabilities for inter- action. Social networking sites are a part of college students’ regular daily lives (Bugeja, 2006; Jones and Madden, 2002). With this new technology, questions about et…

Access device fraud and related financial crimes

An informant once said to us, “Man, you have to be crazy to use a gun to hold up a bank; those credit cards can get you the same thing with no risk.” Whether it be filling out fraudulent applications, stealing cards from the mail, or taking over legitimate accounts, it can be done — “You have to pick them though, watch out for the good banks; they’ve got systems to catch you if you …

Typo Tips

There are three different ways to connect or separate words: the hyphen -, the en dash –, a little wider than the hyphen, and the em dash —, wider still. The regular hyphen is easily accessible on any Mac or PC keyboard, whereas the en dash needs the combination option-hyphen on the Mac. The em dash is accessed by pressing option-shift-hyphen on the Mac. The use of these dashes depends on h…

Since the first case was recognized in the early 1980’s, the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), has achieved pandemic proportions (CDC, 1981; UNAIDS, 2006). According to the latest report from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) (2009), HIV/AIDS continues to be a…

Freedom and Religion in Kant and His Immediate Successors

Kant is the most important figure in this book, as one would expect in a work that deals with late-eighteenth-century German philosophy. He is not, however, the only or even its main object of interest. As a matter of fact, Fichte will end up occupying just as much space as Kant. The main object of interest lies, however, in neither of these two philosophers but at the intersection of two theme…

Systemic Risk

The global financial crisis has brought home to many—particularly in the central banking community—the urgent need for a substantial reassessment of the fundamental workings of financial systems, their interactions with the real economy, and the circumstances that tip such systems from stability to instability. The crisis revealed how rapid financial innovation during an era of prolonged ma…

NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY IN ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been an important analytical and qualitative tool in chemistry, material science, and organic geochemistry for quite some time, and now is becoming recognized as a valuable tool in environmental science and technology. Because it is a non- destructive and element-specific probe, it is useful for examining a myriad of environmental reactions occu…

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN GOVERNMENT: EXTENDING THE REFORM MODEL IN NEW ZEALAND

The idea that government can manage itself strategically, in a similar manner to well-performing private sector organisations, has featured prominently in New Zealand’s contributions to PUMA work since 1994. The purpose of this paper is to outline the rationale for a strategic approach to government management, to describe the elements of the approach which we have developed, to assess its im…

Transboundary river basin management is something that concerns many of us. Water, energy and food security are central elements for society. Having access to suffic…

Experimental Ethics

Academic philosophy has experienced a major upheaval in the last decade. Venturous young philosophers, psychologists, and economists have begun to challenge the traditional stance that philosophy is an undertaking best pursued from the safety and calm of an arm-chair. Instead, they took the gloves off and tried to bring philosophical ques- tions to the experimental laboratory. To date, more th…

Theory of Accumulation and Imperialism

The subject of this study is Rosa Luxemburg’s contribution to economic theory. It arose out of materials gathered for a broader monograph, on the economic views of the Polish–German socialist, that was abandoned by the author. Such a narrowing of the subject-matter may nevertheless have some practical advantages. At a certain stage of research, one of the fundamental duties of the historian…
