Externalizing the Prison Administration's Tasks : the Impact of the Delegated Management Development

Developed in 1986, the idea of conferring the construction and operation of french prisons to private companies has today become a reality with the adoption and the entry into effect of the Act of 22 June 1987. This has created an important model of shared management in which some tasks may be delegated to private sector firms while the administration retains control over a hard core of activities where competences cannot be transferred.

Reports the dilemma faced by Australian universities in their international strategic alliance effort. While the 22 respondent universities espouse such motives as altruism, scholarship, and expansion into new markets as the reasons for entering into international strategic alliances, the true motives appear to be at variance with the former. Arguably, until the contradictions between the espoused and true positions are resolved, Australian universities may not realise the full potential of their international collaborative activities. Suggestions for resolving the discrepancy are offered.

THIS PAPER TESTS TWO SETS OF EXPLANATIONS FOR THE AMOUNT OF BILATERAL AID PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT (OECD) DONORS TO 22 EASTERN EUROPEAN AND FORMER SOVIET UNION (FSU) COUNTRIES FROM 1992-1995. THESE EXPLANATIONS INCLUDE THOSE WHICH CONCENTRATE ON RECIPIENT CHARACTERISTICS AND THOSE WHICH FOCUS ON DONOR CHARACTERISTICS TO EXPLAIN FOREIGN AID DONOR MOTIVATION. RECIPIENT CHARACTERISTICS, PARTICULARLY RECIPIENT NEED AND THE DEGREE OF DEMOCRATIZATION, ARE FOUND TO BE MOST STRONGLY RELATED TO THE RELATIVE AMOUNT OF AID PROVIDED.

Sentiment for forgiving the debt of deeply indebted governments is gathering momentum. It is argued that the potential "moral hazard" resulting from debt forgiveness can be reduced by applying performance standards to debt-funded development assistance projects & programs, & canceling the debt associated with those that have failed the standards. The donors concerned would be subject to moratoria on these & similar types of projects or programs in each country benefiting from debt reduction. 1 Photograph, 22 References.

We examine the presidential nominees' choice of running mate in each election since 1940, when Franklin Roosevelt established a precedent by naming his own. To analyze the 22 choices made from the pool of 127 serious possibilities, we employ a discrete choice model. We find that the presidential nominee's choice is explained primarily by the size of the prospective vice president's state, by whether the running mate finalist was a rival for the nomination, and by the balance in age for the ticket.

In this study, seven mothers of infants with visual and other impairments identified behaviors that they considered meaningful and interpreted these behaviors. The mothers identified 14 of 22 subcategories of behaviors that a previous study of mothers with sighted infants had identified. Not only was the range of behaviors they interpreted limited, but over 65 percent of their interpretations fell into only two of the 16 subcategories previously identified (attention preference and intentional behavior: desire). The implications for early intervention and future research are discussed.

Vom September 1939 bis Mai 1940 standen sich deutsche und französische Soldaten an der gemeinsamen Grenze am Rhein und im Saarland kampflos gegenüber. Nachdem Holland binnen fünf Tagen besiegt wurde, begann am 5. Juni 1940 die Offensive der deutschen Truppen gegen Frankreich, am 22. Juni wurde ein Waffenstillstand ausgehandelt und der französische Norden von Deutschland besetzt. In beiden Phasen des Krieges spielten auf deutscher Seite Propagandisten eine wichtige Rolle. Sie dienten "zur Tarnung, Verschleierung und Irreführung eigener militärischer Absichten dem Auslande gegenüber." Mit Rundfunksendungen, Flugblättern, Transparenten und Lautsprecherdurchsagen wandte man sich an die gegnerischen Truppen sowie an die französische Bevölkerung, um die eigenen Aggressionen zu verschleiern und der französischen Seite Kriegstreiberei zu unterstellen. Auch wurde versucht, französische Soldaten zum Überlaufen zu bewegen. (KB)

Examines gender differences in perception of environmental risk, drawing on data from 1,000 respondents to two 1991 national telephone surveys. Findings indicate that women demonstrate more concern over environmental problems, eg, global warming & hazardous waste facility siting. However, when perceptions of health risk are held constant, the level of concern is constant between the sexes. It is concluded that gender differences in environmental concern are largely based on differences in perceived vulnerability to specific risks. 2 Tables, 22 References.

This study identified a repertoire of essential early life experiences to which young children with visual impairments need to be exposed to undergird their development of literacy. The authors analyzed 254 stories from three published basal literacy series to identify the experiences necessary to bring meaning to each story. Through analysis and categorization of the data, they then identified 22 global areas of experience as essential. Guidelines for providing these experiences are suggested, including ways to link experiences to early literacy events.

The relationship between women's education & employment in GB & the dramatic changes in British family formation in recent decades are examined based on data drawn from the British General Household Survey. Increased cohabitation, reduced marriage, & delay in childbearing are found. Education is contended to be a powerful influence on the transition to marriage & parenthood among women. It is concluded that the current directions of economic & social change in GB predict a movement toward later & more varied patterns of family formation. 9 Tables, 5 Figures, 22 References. M.

La royauté médiévale sous l'impact d'une conception scientifique du droit.
Ernst H. Kantorowicz [5-22]
La voie qui mène du Xlle siècle aux théories absolutistes est longue, tortueuse et complexe. On ne peut pas la comprendre si on ne prend pas en compte l'autonomisation et la professionnalisation d'un métier de juriste, à partir de la redécouverte du droit romain dans les universités naissantes, et les transactions collusives qui se nouent entre les légistes et le Prince pour la production de principes de gouvernement moderne.

SummaryAssortative mating for 22 anthropometric and body composition characteristics and social indicators was studied in a Spanish sample of 114 married couples. Significant spousal similarity was found for occupation, educational level and number of siblings. Sex–age adjusted spouse correlations were significant for stature, ileospinal height, total arm length, and biacromial breadth. Spouse correlations were not altered after allowance for socioeconomic effects. When couples were grouped according to marriage duration, differences in mate correlations for fatness were detected, suggesting a cohabitational effect on spouse resemblance.
