Estimation in Binary Choice Models with Measurement Errors
In this paper we develop a simple maximum likelihood estimator for probit models where the regressors have measurement error. We first assume precise information about the reliability ratios (or, equivalently, the proxy correlations) of the regressors. We then show how reasonable bounds for the parameter estimates can be obtained when only imprecise information is available. The analysis is also e
Alfonso Pecha, Epistola solitarii ad reges
The Epistola solitarii was written by Alfonso of Jaén, St. Birgitta's Spanish confessor, who was editor-in-chief of her Revelationes. It defends the heavenly origin and inspiration against those who claimed that she was inspired by the devil.
Levandet och döendet i symbios
In this article I analyse the HBO TV-series SIX FEET UNDER, and it's depiction of life and death, or more correctly: living and dying. I focus on the intermedial aspects of story and how it produces meaning in images, words, and music. I briefly present the story and the main characters; then I analyze the opening vignette (which opens every episode), and the final scene.
The object markers ba and jiang in modern literary Chinese
Popular Abstract in English Modern standard written Chinese has two common object markers, 把 ba and 将 jiang, both of which mark a direct object preceding the verb. Both markers appear to have been widely used in the spoken language of the Tang dynasty but the actual distribution is not entirely clear.

YouTube Traffic Content Analysis in the Perspective of Clip Category and Duration
In this work, we study YouTube traffic characteristics in a medium-sized Swedish residential municipal network that has 2600 mainly FTTH broadband-connected households. YouTube traffic analyses were carried out in the perspective of video clip category and duration, in order to understand their impact on the potential local network caching gains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first tim
Financial determinants of FDI
We argue that mainstream FDI theory underplays financial motivations for international investment, and suggest several possible channels for a distinct cost-of-capital effect on FDI. Using a sample of European firms’ cross-border acquisitions, and controlling for traditional firm-level determinants of FDI, we find strong evidence in favor of a cost-of-equity effect, whereas the effect of debt cost
Tacit Knowing of Thralls : Style Negotiation and Hybridization among the Unfree in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Sweden
In this paper, cultural transmission between Slavs and Scandinavians from ca 900 to 1250 is discussed. Cultural identity and identity negotiation through style are topics often studied in higher social strata of societies. Emblemic style is maintained and displayed in jewellery or other eye-catching parts of the material culture to distinguish oneself in relation to others. However, the constructi

Article 31
Article 31 remains a vital provision of the 1951 Convention as much as an uneasy compromise. It is a rather complex provision affecting a much broader range of issues than the criminalization of immigration infractions and detention. Due to the difference between contemporary migratory realities and those of the drafting period, it is not straightforwardly applied. Resort to the travaux préparatoi

The History of African Development
The History of African Development aims to draw experts in the field of African History and African Development Studies together around an open access textbook for African teachers and undergraduate students. The textbook is reaching out to all African and non-African scholars willing to contribute a concise chapter (ca. 5000 words). The chapters describe and explain various aspects of historical

Some instant- and practical-time related-key attacks on KTANTAN32/48/64
The hardware-attractive block cipher family KTANTAN was studied by Bogdanov and Rechberger who identified flaws in the key schedule and gave a meet-in-the-middle attack. We revisit their result before investigating how to exploit the weakest key bits. We then develop several related-key attacks, e.g., one on KTANTAN32 which finds 28 key bits in time equivalent to $2^{3.0}$ calls to the full KTANTA

Interactions between Motivation, Emotion and Attention: From Biology to Robotics.
A model of emotional conditioning is ex- tended with a cortical model where stimulus codes compete for activation. This system is combined with motivational inputs that mod- ulate both sensory and emotional processing. The extended model is able to reproduce the attentional blocking effect. It can also learn to switch between different sensory targets when the motivational state changes. The relat
