What censuses did he study? | In the colonial years, while conditions were more fluid, white women, indentured servant or free, and African men, servant, slave or free, made unions. Because the women were free, their mixed-race children were born free; they and their descendants formed most of the families of free people of color during the colonial period in Virginia. The scholar Paul Heinegg found that eighty percent of the free people of color in North Carolina in censuses from 1790–1810 could be traced to families free in Virginia in colonial years. | Virgil's biographical tradition is thought to depend on a lost biography by Varius, Virgil's editor, which was incorporated into the biography by Suetonius and the commentaries of Servius and Donatus, the two great commentators on Virgil's poetry. Although the commentaries no doubt record much factual information about Virgil, some of their evidence can be shown to rely on inferences made from his poetry and allegorizing; thus, Virgil's biographical tradition remains problematic. | eng_Latn | 90,718 |

What is literary historical writing sometimes called? | A significant portion of historical writing ranks as literature, particularly the genre known as creative nonfiction, as can a great deal of journalism, such as literary journalism. However, these areas have become extremely large, and often have a primarily utilitarian purpose: to record data or convey immediate information. As a result, the writing in these fields often lacks a literary quality, although it often(and in its better moments)has that quality. Major "literary" historians include Herodotus, Thucydides and Procopius, all of whom count as canonical literary figures. | As economic and demographic methods were applied to the study of history, the trend was increasingly to see the late Middle Ages as a period of recession and crisis.

Why are Arabic translation efforts important to Western translation traditions? | Arabic translation efforts and techniques are important to Western translation traditions due to centuries of close contacts and exchanges. Especially after the Renaissance, Europeans began more intensive study of Arabic and Persian translations of classical works as well as scientific and philosophical works of Arab and oriental origins. Arabic and, to a lesser degree, Persian became important sources of material and perhaps of techniques for revitalized Western traditions, which in time would overtake the Islamic and oriental traditions. | Brooke Foss Westcott (1825–1901) and Fenton J. A. Hort (1828–1892) published an edition of the New Testament in Greek in 1881. They proposed nine critical rules, including a version of Bengel's rule, "The reading is less likely to be original that shows a disposition to smooth away difficulties." They also argued that "Readings are approved or rejected by reason of the quality, and not the number, of their supporting witnesses", and that "The reading is to be preferred that most fitly explains the existence of the others." | eng_Latn | 90,913 |

This study investigates the association between the accuracy of revenue forecasts and the accounting activities of budget preparation and internal accounting report preparation. While both budgets and internal reports are widely used, empirical evidence concerning their influence on the prediction of future performance is extremely limited. Consistent with the availability of formal accounting information improving predictive performance, we observe that internal accounting report preparation significantly improves forecast accuracy. However, partitioning firms by forecasting difficulty reveals that the accuracy benefits from internal reports preparation are only observed for firms with high uncertainty. Further, the results provide limited support for linkages between budget preparation and forecast accuracy. While we observe the use of budget preparation and internal accounting report preparation are a function of firms' structural and environmental characteristics, firms do not appear to adopt these activities as a function of forecasting difficulty, but rather as a function of predicted changes in future growth. | Business executives and academics frequently criticize budget‐based compensation plans as providing incentives for subordinates to build slack into proposed budgets. In this paper, we examine whether either of two practices—using budgets to allocate scarce resources, or providing information about co‐workers—reduces budget slack and increases subordinate performance when organizations use budgets for performance evaluation. The results from our experiment show that using budgets for both resource allocation and performance evaluation not only eliminates budget slack, but also increases subordinates' effort and task performance. Additionally, we find that an internal reporting system that provides information about subordinates' budgets and performance to their co‐workers mitigates budget slack when superiors do not use budgets as a basis for resource allocation. These results highlight the synergies between the planning (resource allocation) and control (performance evaluation) functions of managerial acc... | ABSTRACTUNC-45A is an ubiquitously expressed protein highly conserved throughout evolution.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the Spanish market reactions arising from the formation of the audit committees in the listed companies. This reaction could reasonably differ from that observed in Anglo-Saxon markets given the peculiarities of the audit process in Spain. With this aim, using the event study methodology, we have measured the abnormal returns surrounding the constitution of the audit committee, taking into account factors such as its voluntary formation, the auditor?s previous opinion and the auditor?s firm size. Our results confirm the existence of negative market reactions in the case of a voluntary formation of the committee and when this formation corresponds to a firm that has received a favourable audit report. However, we have observed no significant market reactions when the firm has received a qualified opinion and these reactions did not differ when the company was audited by one of the big audit firms or by other auditor. | This research work is aimed at determining the effectiveness of the Audit Committee (AC), analyzing its impact on the reliability of accounting information issued by spanish listed companies. With this aim, we study whether certain features such as its voluntary or otherwise compulsory formation, its independence and activity lead to an improvement of financial reporting quality, which is defined as the removal of avoidable qualifications in the audit report. We considered the periods where ACs were voluntary (1998–2002) and compulsory (2003 onwards). The results obtained suggest that: (a) compulsory ACs are more effective than voluntary ones; (b) ACs with a higher proportion of independent members do not lead to greater improvements in the quality of accounting information; and (c) the number of meetings of the AC is directly related to improvements in the quality of accounting information. | Evaluation of ventricular performance is essential in the diagnosis and long-term management of patients with heart disease.

The article investigates how performance management systems have changed over the past decades, the motivations behind their metamorphoses, their common elements across the two countries, and what accounts for the respective progress. It also investigates the role that the institutional framework plays in making performance management systems robust. The study presents policy recommendations on how governments can create more robust performance management systems for enhanced accountability and transparency in an age of resource constraint. | The contribution of small firms to the national budget seems to be negligible as a result of their inability to prepare financial reports.

Corporate Social Responsibility within Credit Institution in Romania | Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was long viewed as a costly or charitable measure on the short-run but now it is considered an asset worth having on the long-run. Credit institutions take on a significant role in the process of financial intermediation in the Romanian economy (a bank-based system). For this reason, CSR within these credit institutions is of great concern not only for the individuals but for the whole financial system (an important element to ensure financial stability and avoid systemic risk). In order to evaluate the level of involvement of Romanians’ credit institutions in CSR areas, this study used the content analysis method on the annual reports for a panel of five representative banks. | And what are the implications for the banks’ “ethical makeover”? Can conduct cost levels be reconciled with this? Some commentators have, for example, observed that it seems inappropriate to worry about the Co-operative Group potentially losing control over the Co-operative Bank, for fear it will not be able to hold on to its “ethical policies”, when that bank’s ethics are already under suspicion due to the scale (a £269M provision)of its product mis-selling. Do provisions like this reflect on ethics? It’s hard to argue that there is no relationship at all. But perhaps the conduct costs reflect the “bad old days” and, under new management, we can expect banks to improve? | eng_Latn | 91,666 |

In face-to-face group situations, social pressure and organizational hierarchy relegate the less outspoken to silence, often resulting in fewer voices, fewer ideas, and groupthink. However, in mediated interaction like email, more people join in the discussion to offer their opinion. With this work, we aim to combine the benefits of mediated communication with the benefits and affordances of face-to-face interaction by adding a mediated back-channel. We describe Conversation Votes , a tabletop system that augments verbal conversation with a shared anonymous back-channel to highlight agreement. We then discuss a study of our design with groups engaged in repeated discussion. Our results show that anonymous visual back-channels provide a medium for the underrepresented voices of a conversation and balances interaction among all participants. | A meta-analysis of research comparing decision making in face-to-face versus computer-mediated communication groups was conducted. Results suggest that computer-mediated communication leads to decreases in group effectiveness, increases in time required to complete tasks and decreases in member satisfaction compared to face-to-face groups. All of the moderators tested (anonymity in the group process, limited versus unlimited time to reach decisions, group size, and task type) were significant for at least one of the dependent variables. The article concludes with cautions about the unbridled rush by organizations to adopt computer-mediated communication as a medium for group decision making and implications of the present findings for theory and research on computer-mediated communication and group decision making. | Berzelius failed to make use of Faraday's electrochemical laws in his laborious determination of equivalent weights. | eng_Latn | 93,227 |

Choreography as a Translation Process | What is the body’s capacity to communicate? How can spoken words be translated into choreography? McCormack offers a summary of the relationship between translation theory and choreographic practice. Focusing on how the term translation has been used in choreographic discourse, she explores how theories located in translation studies might be borrowed and re-appropriated in order to understand the relationship between movement and source text in verbatim dance-theatre. The chapter concludes with a case study of DV8 Physical Theatre’s verbatim dance-theatre performance work in order to ask if source text and choreographic translation can exist in a heteroglossic (Bakhtin 1981) relationship with each other on stage. | The article considers the influence of the integration of educational and ::: production institutions and organizations on the activation of investment ::: processes in an agro-industrial complex.

Variable competence and performance in child second language acquisition1 | The variable competence model of second language acquisition proposes that the ability to use language varies systematically within functional domains and linguistic contexts, and that such variability is inherent in interlanguage as well. This study of elicited and naturalistic speech of elementary school ESL students in formal and informal situations supports the conclusion that variability exists in the acquisition process but disputes the theory that it is a necessary com ponent of the mental competence itself. Errors in use of the past tense, noun phrase plurals and possessives, adjectives, and determiners were calculated for four different activities or tasks; t-tests and regression analyses revealed little or no statistical difference across tasks but predictable differences with increase in proficiency. Implications are drawn for the teaching of grammar to children in an academic context. | This article analyzes the content of students' vocational ability and states that the characteristics of practice should be amply understood.The cultivating system of students' vocational ability should include theory teaching system,practice teaching system,after-class activity system and social practice system. | eng_Latn | 93,255 |

INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE AND MOTIVATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING | The Multiple Intelligences Theory proposes a pluralistic view of mind which takes into account people have different cognitive potential. Thus, suggests the existence of at least eight intelligences of equal rank: the linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalist intelligence. This study proposed a programme based in the intrapersonal intelligence in order to increase the students motivation. The result have shown that a methodology which develops the intrapersonal intelligence helps the students to know himself and hence apply this knowledge to develop learning strategies based on their strong points. | Because of many people' s misunderstanding of integrated marketing communication and its applica- tion,the essay mainly narrates the essential contents of integrated marketing communication and how to apply it reasonably and also points out the range of application in view of the current situation in China. | yue_Hant | 93,266 |
Promoting Social Communication in a Child With Specific Language Impairment | Social difficulties represent a major area of concern in children with specific language impairment (SLI). Social skills interventions targeting communication or language skills of children with SLI have been generally ineffective. The current study tested the efficacy of a social skills intervention consisting of multiple behavioral interventions to increase nonverbal, verbal, and turn-taking conversation skills of an 8-year-old male with SLI. Using a multiple baseline across skills design, data were collected in a university clinic setting. Visual analysis indicated that when training for a target skill was introduced, percentage of skill steps successfully demonstrated increased. In addition, pre- and postintervention standardized rating scales completed by parents and teachers indicated improvements in pragmatic skill use in nontraining environments. Results and implications are described in terms of utilization of interventions for pragmatic skills of children with SLI. | This article describes an EFL course website and blog for a Global Issues communicative English course for first year dentistry students at a university in Tokyo.The rationale for and benefits ofestablishing an online component are explained.An analysis of the students� comments on the blogas well as the result of a student surveyis also explored.Finally future extensions to the online component are discussed. | eng_Latn | 93,276 |

Foreign language reading anxiety: Chinese as a foreign language in the United States | This study examined the foreign language (FL) reading anxiety level of English-speaking university students learning Chinese as a foreign language ( n = 114) in the United States. Data from two anxiety measures, a background information questionnaire, and an email interview indicated that learners of Chinese experienced a level of FL reading anxiety similar to general FL anxiety. FL reading anxiety was associated with course level and experience with China but not with gender. Moreover, FL reading anxiety was found to be negatively correlated with FL reading performance among Elementary Level I and Intermediate Level students but not among Elementary Level II students. Unfamiliar scripts, unfamiliar topics, and worry about comprehension were identified as the major sources of FL reading anxiety. Findings suggest that reading anxiety was a salient problem for learners of Chinese whose native language was English.

Partisan bias in the news is a perennial matter of concern and debate for scholars, journalists, politicians, and citizens. Although there are abundant opinions about the magnitude, direction, and even existence of media bias, producing a scholarly consensus on the issue has proven difficult for several reasons. In particular, scholars studying media bias empirically must overcome problems of subjectivity, strategic behavior by the actors involved in the process, and especially the absence of suitable baselines against which to assess bias. This article reviews some approaches to studying media bias and explores several promising strategies and tools scholars have developed to help overcome these obstacles. I conclude with suggestions for future research in the area. | More voters than ever get political news from their friends on social media platforms. Is this bad for democracy? Using context-neutral laboratory experiments, we find that biased (mis)information shared on social networks affects the quality of collective decisions relatively more than does segregation by political preferences on social media. Two features of subject behavior underlie this finding: 1) they share news signals selectively, revealing signals favorable to their candidates more often than unfavorable signals; 2) they na¨ively take signals at face value and account for neither the selection in the selection in the shared signals nor the differential informativeness of news signals across different sources. | Berzelius failed to make use of Faraday's electrochemical laws in his laborious determination of equivalent weights. | eng_Latn | 93,678 |

The Liberal Media Myth Revisited: An Examination of Factors Influencing Perceptions of Media Bias | Despite research to the contrary, the general public and a significant number of politicians are convinced the U.S. news media have a liberal and pro-Democratic bias.

We really have to study the Bible and pray over it. \n\nWe are all individuals with very unique situations going on in our lives. Yes, there are some laws that absolutely must be obeyed,\nbut other than those God deals with us as individuals and the answer to one's person's dilemna may not be the same as the answer to a person with a similar dilemna. Deep communication with God is the key. | Hide a duck in their explanation? I don't know if that's a metaphor or what but I have to say, never heard that one before! Lol. Anyway, I think it's just laziness why people don't read all the details. They want to be the first to answer, even if it means missing some important details in the process. Doesn't make much sense considering it would make their answer better if they read the whole question, but that's just the impression I got. Reading isn't all that hard - all you have to do is move your eyes, and take in the information. More people should try it lol. | eng_Latn | 95,518 |
some of their beliefs and actions lead me believe that these people have lost their sanity. i dunno, maybe i'm the crazy one. sometimes i envy their complete faith in the unknown and unproven. they usually have these best intentions in mind and i appreciate that, but they just come off as psycho sometimes. | The Bible tells us that God demands us to be bold in our faith. So it may seem crazy to someone who doesn't know the word of God. Most people don't like to hear what the lord says, because it means they would have give up their hedonistic lifestyles. Sometimes the truth cannot be accepted because it would mean giving up on what the world sees as important, and realizing what is.People think christians are mean and stuffy, but you can't change the word of God to make people feel comfortable. You have to read the bible for yourself and meditate on what He wants and not what the rest of the world tells you is right and fair. | You may have noticed that when people 'quote' the scriptures, they tend to take them out of context. The preachers are there to help 'teach' the things of God more accurately. However, personal study is important.\n People will always quote the bible because they want to be right. Unfortunately many miss the mark of proper scriptural handling. | eng_Latn | 95,540 |
do babies go to heaven | Conclusion. Babies and young children who die go the heaven through the grace and righteous judgment of God. The Bible is clear that those who are not fully capable of making moral choices are declared to be innocent, and, therefore, worthy of heaven. Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 2 But Jesus said, Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. (Matthew 19:13-14). | We need a valid baptism in order to to go to heaven. It is not enough just to have the ceremony done. I hope that you will live with the Lord Jesus Christ and will be in heaven with him. Thank you for listening and God bless you.s he understands the Bible, he will obey the Bible. If the Bible tells him to take water baptism, he will take the baptism. If he obeys God he will go to heaven. But, if he cares for social standing, he will be good to people, but he will not study the Bible. Then he will not know how to obey God. | eng_Latn | 95,709 |

Systems Analysis A to Z | Found the book very complete, although a bit general. The charts and graphics were well designed and developed. Purchased the international version ($39 delivered), not a good idea; ended up purchasing the regular book and paying $80 plus from a discount suppler. The colors and readability of the international version were inferior in quality. I found the book ideal for an introductory course in Systems Analysis and Design, with support for object oriented analysis.
The authors have an excellent website with excellent study cases to follow. The book follows a good logical sequence and every chapter builds on the previous one creating a good flow with just enough repetition to aid in retention. The exercises were good with great variety. The summary at the end of each chapter was complete and helpful. | This short book of very thoughtful vignettes shows how defendants in Germany are treated by their system and sometimes manipulate it--not so different in essence from the US situation. The author is obviously a caring, thoughtful attorney and his views of his wide variety of clients has a very human approach--not infallible justice, but consistent human, understandable compromises are shown. A very good read. | kor_Hang | 95,906 |
I have a problem - I bought a book "Introduction to Time Series and Forecasting" by Brockwell and Davis. The first chapter was ok, but now at chapter 2 I am totally lost - I cannot figure the main idea of the explanation, and I cannot figure the intermediate steps in the author results - so the maths becomes useless. I have no background in stochastic processes. Can someone recommend a book similar to Brockwell & Davis in contents, but where proofs are given without "It can be shown that..." (with intermediate steps), and which has a more coherent explanations since I do not understand anymore why the author is giving the details of all these propositions in Brockwell book. I need the book for self-study. | I started by Time Series Analysis by Hamilton, but I am lost hopelessly. This book is really too theoretical for me to learn by myself.

I decided to self study AP environmental science, which I eventually received a 5 for. This was a textbook I was considering to use, but I found it to be difficult to read (not to mention a bit politically-oriented). I would recommend Raven and Berg for APES, which is more concise and comprehensive for the test.
