Group weariness and group negativism: Emerging attitudes in working life? Report on a project in progress.

Primary aim of project: to examine if Group Weariness (GW) exists, a concept defined as a n e g a t i v e a t t i t u d e t o w a r d s w o r k i n g i n g r o u p s b a s e d o n p r e v i o u s e x p e r i e n c e s o f t h e w o r k i n g f o r m, and the meaning and consequences of the phenomenon. Secondary aim: to explore differences between those who experience GW and those who do not. In t

Impact of climate change on rice insect pests and their natural enemies

Rice is one of the important staple foods for half of the world population particularly Asian countries for their livelihood, socio-economic and nutrition. Global warming is predicted to increase frequency of precipitation/rainfall, intensity of drought and solar-radiation/UV-B radiation which might affect the intensity and severity of rice pests in one hand, but also change in other friendly arth

Doing Normalcy. Attractive interactions for teenage boys with disabilities

The contemporary expansion of diagnoses is a well-known phenomenon. What is rarely investigated, however, are people’s subtle ways of deconstructing medical stigmas in everyday interactions. This article, based on an ethnographic study of a recreational activity for teenage boys with diverse diagnoses and disabilities (for instance, Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD, and cerebral pares), shows how a de-st

New physical limitations in scattering and antenna problems

The extinction cross section integrated over all frequencies is shown to be related to the electric and magnetic polarizability dyadics by exploiting the analytic properties of the forward scattering dyadic. This identity can be used threefold: 1) in scattering theory to bound the total scattering properties of an arbitrary scatterer, 2) in antenna theory to derive new physical limitations on ante
