Applications of the Expansion Method by John Jones III, Emilio Casetti, John Paul Jones III

By John Jones III, Emilio Casetti, John Paul Jones III

The disciplines of the social sciences have became to types to spot and outline relationships among severe variables. The dynamism of those variables can render types insufficient. the growth process presents a way of reintroducing the complexities of the genuine international with no destroying the types within the procedure. As such, the growth process is geography's reaction to the theories of social sciences. As a strategy, it presents a scientific method applicable for the research of contextual variability in almost any empirical learn atmosphere. As a examine paradigm, the growth process means that the contextual variability of basic methods be on the leading edge of social clinical research. this is often the 1st booklet to collect researchers with pursuits within the growth procedure. The authors study the theoretical implications of the paradigm, give a contribution methodological advances, and supply a number of purposes in sizeable parts, together with inhabitants, city platforms, social coverage research, fiscal improvement and distant sensing.

La VAE : Un outil de développement des compétences

Processus de reconnaissance de l’expérience professionnelle par l’obtention d’un diplôme, l. a. VAE (validation des acquis de l’expérience) constitue pour le salarié un outil de pilotage de son parcours professionnel et pour l’entreprise un levier de développement stratégique. Dans un contexte économique où los angeles formation professionnelle tout au lengthy de l. a. vie est devenue incontournable, cet ouvrage suggest les méthodes et les clés pour :– mettre en œuvre los angeles VAE comme levier de valorisation des compétences professionnelles et personnelles : questionnements préalables, file VAE, accompagnement, jury, après-VAE ;– comprendre les enjeux de l. a.

The duality principles discussed in this paper state that, whenever a linear initial model and linear expansion equations are defined, also a dual linear initial model and associated expansion equations are implicitly defined. Each of the two initial models relates the dependent variable Y to a set of variables that are potential causes of drift of the ‘other’ initial model. CASETTI 27 involves investigating whether one set of alternative potential explanators of Y produces effects on Y to an extent determined by the other set of explanators.

Instead, the maximum rate of growth of product per capita g(y*) declines at larger values of P′. The equilibrium values y1 and y2 tend respectively to minus and plus infinity as P′ tends to zero. 6, y1, y*, and y2 collapse into a single value, and g(y*) tends to zero. 6, and is invariant between these. Let . 2. The table shows that g(y) is remarkably sensitive to the changes in P′ that can be found in the contemporary world. 13 Notes: P′, percentage growth rate of population; PRC1, exp(y1) where y1 is the smaller root of g(y)=0; PRC2, exp (y2) where y2 is the larger root of g(y)=0; g(y*), maximum value of y′, y′, rate of development.

To be highest at intermediate levels of development. However, for large rates of growth of population the maximum rates of development y* are lower, and the rates of development associated with any level of development are smaller. Also, the stable equilibrium level of product per capita PRC2 occurs at lower development levels when P′ is higher. Summing up, the dual expansions results reveal perverse effects of higher rates of population growth within a theoretical frame of reference different from the one associated with the primal expansions.
