The authors use Mino's idea of a learning paradigm to shift the emphasis away from teaching traditional theories of culture and use student-centered experiences to teach culture as an expressive practice. Using instances drawn from their own classrooms, the authors show how students can recognize the value of understanding their role in creating culture each time they choose how to act, how to evaluate others' behavior, and whether to label what is going on as cultural Sun, 01 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10139/615 Title: Bioscope 2009 Spring Fri, 01 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10139/603 Title: Assessing protectionism and subsidies in agriculture - a gravity approach<br/><br/>Authors: Paiva, Claudio<br/><br/>Abstract: This paper provides the first comprehensive empirical analysis of agricultural trade using a gravity model. The data set covers bilateral trade in agricultural goods for 152 countries over the periods 1990–1993 and 1999–2002. The estimations support claims that protectionism and distortive subsidies to agriculture remain widespread among industrialised nations, which are shown to import fewer and export more agricultural products than expected given other economic, political and geographic determinants of trade. However, some developing regions which are often thought to be the main victims of industrial-country protectionism are also found to be relatively closed to agricultural trade.

These new objects arise from a generalization of locality for fields. Quasimodules tie together module theory and twisted module theory, and both twisted and untwisted modules feature Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt-like spanning sets. This paper generalizes these spanning set results to quasimodules for certain Möbius vertex algebras. In particular this paper presents two spanning sets, one featuring a difference-zero ordering restriction on modes and another featuring a difference-one ordering restriction.
