Summary: Individuals voluntarily form collegial workplace relationships beyond those required by organizational hierarchy and job workflow. Scholars find individual performance benefits associated with informal instrumental relationships, which involve transfers of work-related information between co-workers. However, people do not always limit their workplace interactions to discussions of work information, but often combine them with exchanges of personal and social information, producing multiplex relationships. Organizational network scholars have overlooked multiplex relationships, due to an assumption that the instrumental component of relationships independently drives performance consequences, while any social component plays an ancillary role. I contend that in multiplex ties, the instrumental and social components inter dependency, rather than independently, affect performance. Thus, I hypothesize that multiplex relationships should produce performance consequences distinct from primarilyinstrumental relationships. The three sections in this dissertation examine this hypothesis empirically and theoretically through a social network perspective. First, I consider how involvement in multiplex and primarily-instrumental dyadic relationships affects performance. In both business school cohorts and financial institution employees, multiplex relationships produced a significant, negative and curvilinear performance effect, while primarilyinstrumental ties produced no significant effects. In the second section, I extend the previous study to a triadic level of analysis. A newly developed measure of multiplex brokerage allows for a comparison of the performance effects of brokerage through multiplex relationships (via relationships to two colleagues who are otherwise unconnected) with the performance effects of brokerage through primarily-instrumental ones. In a financial institution, moderate levels of multiplex brokerage produced the greatest performance advantages, while primarily-instrumental brokerage had no effects. Finally, I theoretically examine the implications of lacking multiplex relationships. Many employees may not have the time or opportunity to develop social relationships with colleagues, limiting involvement in multiplex ties. The model identifies three elements, relational characteristics, trust dimensions, and work contexts, which determine how multiplex ties might influence performance. Overall, while previous research of instrumental networks confounded multiplex and primarily-instrumental relationships, this dissertation finds them to be distinct. These studies suggest that existing understanding of how relationships influence performance needs to include more complex measures that better match the relationships people actually have at work. http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/332851508 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 CET No description abstract http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/332190455 Fri, 01 Jan 1993 00:00:00 CET An infinitesimal is a ‘number’ that is smaller then each positive real number and is larger than each negative real number, so that in the real number system there is just one infinitesimal, i.e. zero. But most of the time only nonzero infinitesimals are of interest. This is related to the fact that when in the usual limit definition x is tending to c, most of the time only the values of x that are different from c are of interest. Hence the real number system has to be extended in some way or other in order to include all infinitesimals. This book is concerned with an attempt to introduce the infinitesimals and the other ‘nonstandard’ numbers in a naive, simpleminded way. Nevertheless, the resulting theory is hoped to be mathematically sound, and to be complete within obvious limits. Very likely, however, even if ‘nonstandard analysis’ is presented naively, we cannot do without the axiom of choice (there is a restricted version of nonstandard analysis, less elegant and less powerful, that does not need it). This is a pity, because this axiom is not obvious to every mathematician, and is even rejected by constructivistic mathematicians, which is not unreasonable as it does not tell us how the relevant choice could be made (except in simple cases, but then the axiom is not needed). The remaining basic assumptions that will be made would seem to be acceptable to many mathematicians, although they will be taken partly from formalistic mathematics – i.e. the usual logical principles, in particular the principle of the excluded third – as well as from constructivistic mathematics – i.e. that at the start of all of mathematics the natural numbers (in the classical sense of the term) are given to us. Not only the natural number, but also the set and the pair will be taken as primitive notions. The net effect of this is a version of mathematics that, except for truly nonstandard results, would seem to produce the same theorems as produced by classical mathematics. One of the consequences of combining ideas from the two main schools of mathematical thinking is that the usual axioms of set theory, notably those due to Zermelo and Fraenkel, will be ignored. First of all, there will be elements that are 17 18 not sets, the natural numbers to begin with, only then sets will be formed from them in stages (or day by day), whereas when starting from the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms each mathematical entity, in particular each natural number, is some set. From a formal point of view the latter has the advantage that there is just one primitive notion, but from a naive point of view it is not so obvious why numbers should be sets (in formalistic mathematics after the natural numbers come to life in the form of sets, this fact is concealed as soon as possible). Moreover, aren’t we presupposing at least the order of the natural numbers already when writing down axioms by means of suitable symbols? To a certain extent nonstandard analysis is superfluous! For if a theorem of classical mathematics has a nonstandard proof, it also has a classical proof (this follows from what in nonstandard analysis is known as the ‘transfer’ theorem). Often the nonstandard proof is intuitively more attractive, simpler and shorter, which is one of the reasons to be interested in nonstandard analysis at all. Another reason is that totally new mathematical models for all kinds of problems can be (and in the mean time have been) formulated when infinitesimals or other nonstandard numbers occur in such models. A trivial example is a problem involving a heap of sand containing very many grains of sand, but where the number of grains of sand must not be infinite. Then taking the inverse of some positive infinitesimal and rounding the result up or down produces a so-called infinitely large ‘natural number’ that is larger than each ordinary natural number, but is smaller than infinity. It can be manipulated in much the same way as the ordinary numbers, which cannot, of course, be said of infinity. As a consequence the mathematics of infinitely large sets is essentially simpler than that of infinite sets. A peculiarity, however, is that the ‘selected’ infinitesimal and hence the infinitely large natural number are not specified the way the number of elements of a set of, say, 25 elements is specified. On the other hand, if ! is that infinitely large natural number, it makes sense to consider another heap of sand with !2 grains of sand, that can be thought of as the result of combining ! heaps of sand each containing w grains of sand. But in what follows the analysis of practical models containing nonstandard numbers will not be stressed. http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/242407803 Mon, 01 Jan 2001 00:00:00 CET Contents New Theoretical Approaches Religion, International Relations and Transdisciplinarity......................... 7 Roland Robertson Modernization, Rationalization and Globalization.................................. 21 Raymond Boudon Modernity Confronts Capitalism: From a Moral Framework to a Countercultural Critique to a Human-Centered Political Economy........ 37 Ino Rossi Three Dimensions of Subjective Globalization........................................ 53 Manfred B.

Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Untersuchung war die von zahlreichen Soziologen und Historikern vertretene These der Modernität der frühneuzeitlichen Militäringenieure. Kriegswesen und Technik bedingten dieser These zufolge eine Professionalisierung der Ingenieure, die Entwicklungen des 19. Jahrhunderts vorwegnahm. Auf die soziologische Studie Abrahamssons über die Bedingungen militärischer Professionalisierung aufbauend, wurde das niederl ändische Militäringenieur- und Festungswesen untersucht: Zunächst galt es, Bürokratisierungspotentiale auszumachen, die sich aus den Eigenarten der frühneuzeitlichen Kriegsführung ergaben. Im Hinblick auf die Niederlande konnte zunächst festgestellt werden, daÿ das im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert kultivierte Bild der frühneuzeitlichen Niederlande als friedliebender Handelsrepublik erheblicher Korrekturen bedarf. Handelte es sich beim Achtzigjährigen Krieg (1568 - 1648) anfänglich um einen Aufstand gegen die Regierungspraxis der spanischen Habsburger, so veränderte sich die Art der Auseinandersetzung nach der Konsolidierung der Unabhängigkeit der Nordprovinzen in den letzten Jahren des 16.Jahrhunderts. Die fortan souver änen sieben Provinzen und die Landschaft Drenthe, die unter Bezeichnung Vereinigte Niederlande eine gemeinsame Auÿen- und Militärpolitik führten, betrieben bis zum Westfälischen Frieden auch eine Eroberungspolitik gegen- über dem in habsburgischer Hand verbliebenen Süden, und zwar aus verschiedenen Gründen. Vorrangig diente die Kriegsführung der Schwächung des Feindes, von dem auch weiterhin eine Bedrohung für den Bestand des jungen Staatsgebildes ausging. Gleichzeitig wurden aber zwei weitere Momente erkennbar, die die Poltik der Republik auch nach 1648 bestimmen sollten. Zum einen strebte man den Besitz von Gebieten und Städten bzw. Festungen an, die einen potentiellen Gegner vom eigenen Territorium fernhalten sollten; zum anderen ging es darum, mögliche ökonomische Konkurrenz dauerhaft auszuschalten....

Deze publicatie beoogt op zichzelf niet om daarin verandering te brengen. Wel is het de bedoeling te laten zien wie hij was, wat hij gedaan heeft en in welk licht we dat zouden moeten bezien. Johan Sems leefde in de periode van de 80-jarige oorlog, een tijdvak waarin de exacte wetenschappen in de Nederlanden bloeiden, ongetwijfeld mede als gevolg van de economische en politiek/militaire situatie waarin ons land verkeerde. Daar waar bij het historisch onderzoek in Nederland er altijd een zeker zwaartepunt heeft gelegen in 'Holland', is de geschiedschrijving van het Noorden des lands in zekere zin achtergebleven. Johan Sems is daar een voorbeeld van. Door de eeuwen heen heeft deze figuur wel een zekere attractie gehad - al dan niet uit chauvinistische overwegingen -, maar er is nog nooit een serieuze monografie over hem verschenen (ook niet in de vorm van een tijdschriftartikel). Dat is wel het geval met de landmeter Jan Pietersz. Dou (een vergelijkbare grootheid), de 'Leidse' vriend van Johan Sems. In de historiografie is met betrekking tot Johan Sems in de afgelopen eeuw nauwelijks vordering gemaakt. Steeds weer kom je, tot in het internettijdperk, dezelfde – deels foutieve –gegevens tegen. Kenmerkend in dit verband is dat in de vakliteratuur nog steeds onbekend is wanneer Sems gestorven is. Serieuze onderzoekers als Fockema Andreae, Taverne, Lorenzen en Noordhoff hielden voor die datum een marge van +/- 20 jaar aan. Een kort onderzoekje in het Gemeentearchief Groningen bleek voldoende te zijn om nauwkeurig vast te stellen dat Sems in 1635 is gestorven. In het kader van de colleges "Wetenschapsbeoefening in de Noordelijke Nederlanden" van prof. Waterbolk viel mijn oog al vrij snel op deze Johan Sems. Een literatuuronderzoek wees uit, dat er eigenlijk bijzonder weinig over hem bekend is. Na een referaat werd duidelijk dat er voldoende materiaal aanwezig was voor een doctoraalscriptie, waarvan deze publicatie de weerslag is. http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/329912747 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 CET In de hoek van het pandhof van de Dom in Utrecht ligt een rode steen die diep ingekrast is.

De uitspraak “dat googlen we even”, verwijzend naar de meest gebruikte zoekmachine op het Internet, is dan ook gemeengoed geworden. Maar hoewel Google en andere zoekmachines erg populair zijn, vergen ze een actieve opstelling bij de gebruiker: het is aan hem of haar om te beoordelen of zoekresultaten relevant zijn en aan de hand van de zoekresultaten verder te navigeren. De informatie waar een zoekmachine toe leidt is zogezegd ‘plat’, het is kale tekst met eventuele hyperlinks naar andere tekst. De aard van een hyperlink-relatie kan alleen in de tekst zelf gegeven worden. Het zoeken in een database verloopt wat dat betreft efficiënter. Daarin hebben gegevens een vastgestelde plek en zijn ze aan elkaar gerelateerd op een manier die door machines te herkennen is. Aan de hand van een zoekopdracht worden automatisch de gegevens doorzocht en de gewenste informatie op het scherm vertoond.

Against the background of developments in discourse analysis, it is argued that news should be studied primarily as a form of public discourse. Whereas in much mass communication research, the economic, social, or cultural dimensions of news and news media are addressed, the present study emphasizes the importance of an explicit structural analysis of news reports. Such an analysis should provide a qualitative alternative to traditional methods of content analysis. Also, attention is paid to processes of news production by journalists and news comprehension by readers, in terms of the social cognitions of news participants. In this way news structures can also be explicitly linked to social practices and ideologies of newsmaking and, indirectly, to the institutional and macrosociological contexts of the news media. http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/325700338 Fri, 01 Jan 1988 00:00:00 CET - Multiple Modernization - The Structure of the Global Legal System - Case Studies - On Contemporary Philosophy and Sociology http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/324242085 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 CET No description abstract http://bibliotheek.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/UB/2009/Verdwenenklooster/ Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 CET Paragrafen: 254-264 + 266-280 + 403-420 3e druk, 2009 http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/319016765 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 CET Introduction: Si le droit fiscal est l’ensemble des règles de droit en vertu desquelles un Etat prélève des impôts, c’est-à-dire impose des contributions qui ne sont pas la rémunération d’une prestation déterminée, le droit fiscal international présente un rapport renforcé avec le concept de souveraineté nationale s’exerçant sur un territoire (1). Les situations génératrices de la dette d’impôt présenteront souvent un aspect d’extranéité. Les Etats pourront ignorer celle-ci et prélever l’impôt. Ils réaliseront souvent qu’ils ont avantage à limiter cette perception, soit unilatéralement, souvent à charge de réciprocité, soit conventionnellement, en vertu de traités bilatéraux, voire multilatéraux. Le droit fiscal international sera donc, au premier chef, l’ensemble des règles de droit interne ou international régissant la perception de l’impôt en rapport avec des faits générateurs comportant au moins un élément d’extranéité. Dans une perspective plus large, voire comparatiste, le droit fiscal international sera l’étude des techniques juridiques appliquées à l’imposition de situations transfrontalières (2). Il s’agit là d’une problématique essentielle, notamment pour l’aménagement des systèmes d’imposition des sociétés dans une perspective d’efficacité et d’élimination des distorsions (3). La source — loi interne ou traité international — importera peu, puisque les sources de droit proprement internationales n’ont d’effet dans les systèmes étatiques que par la réception de la règle internationale en droit positif interne. En revanche, certaines règles supranationales peuvent avoir un effet direct en droit interne (4). http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/244618771 Sat, 01 Jan 1994 00:00:00 CET No description abstract http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/322571804 Wed, 01 Jan 1997 00:00:00 CET No description abstract http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/262403064 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 CET No description abstract http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/322571715 Mon, 01 Jan 2001 00:00:00 CET 14e druk 2003 Alleen Hoofdstuk VIII, Artikel 5: Noodweer. Pagina 168 t/m 176 http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/256046689 Wed, 01 Jan 2003 00:00:00 CET The domestic chapel in its varying forms, and in the changing ways it was perceived, is analyzed as a part of the total visual environment of Renaissance Florence from 1400 to 1550. The theme begins with Palazzo Vecchio. A foreboding edifice evoking a feudal past, this comrnunal palace embodied a centuries' old tradition of ritual and rule which, in the Christian cosmos, derived its pcwer from a heavenly, unseen authority made present upon the altars not only of churches, but of palaces. For the lay, merchant rulers of Florence, Palazzo Vecchio was an important form in an evolving architectural language of power, and a goal to be possessed, or at least emulated, in its artistic and liturgical component parts, including its Chapel of St. Bernard. Giovanni Bicci ae' Medici and his offspring created, first, with the Casa Vecchia, a smaller personal parallel to ruling palaces. Then, with the completion of their new palace, under his son Cosimo in 1458, the family heralded a new epoch in which their own palace, and chapel, would play a centrai role in Florentine destiny. The gubernatio omnium for which the Medici strove not only required the personalization of the Comune and its institutions, but, as well, necessitated a growing network of other "Medici palaces." These offer the occasion for consideration of chapels, altars, liturgical furnishings, and related artwork, first, of o!d and prominent families, like the Tornabuoni, then, of social newcomers like Francesco Nori and Bartolomeo Scala. Scala's generous altar rights are presented in the context of his attempts to create an all'antica house and chapel. From Angelo Doni (d. 1537) the scene shifts, again to Palazzo Vecchio, and to the ducal family and courtiers. It is a time of increasing absolutism, also regarding domestic chapels. Results of Tridentine-era reform are discussed. The dissertation concludes with Bastiano Ciaini's stunning quanrocentesque palace and sacellurn, built in the mid-sixteenth century. http://bibliotheek.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/RuGbreed/mattox_ep/ Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CET A logicosemantic analysis of certain kinds of wh clauses is developed, on which wh-phrases translate as open sentences, that is, as expressions of the semantic ally interpreted representation which contain free varables.

The monumental projects of Leon Curmer's Les Francais peints par eux-memes (8 volumes, 1839-42) and Pierre-Jules Hetzel's Le Diable a Paris (2 volumes, 1844-46) are my central case studies. Yet I examine these two collectively authored illustrated anthologies in relation to a contextual field of competing pictorial, literary, and journalistic representations, including caricatures, serial novels, fashion illustrations, and mass daily newspapers. All of these novel commercial publications share a focus on the quotidian, in the sense that they take everyday modem life as their subject matter, and strive to be produced, promoted, and consumed as an integral part of everyday routines and experiences. My thesis investigates the emergent cultural economy in which these quotidian genres circulate and exercise considerable discursive power. One of my goals is to explore the artistic and commercial relations between the graphic artists, writers, and editors who collaborate in creating and promoting these publications. I trace the efforts of these cultural producers to define new forms of cultural expertise and artistic celebrity. Furthermore, I research the industrial techniques, business models, and publicity mechanisms pioneered by Parisian publishers in the eighteenforties, including their innovative use of the shop window vitrine and the illustrated advertising poster. Another node is the analysis of the multi-layered gradations of belonging and social initiation that structure the imaginary communities of Parisian modernity that are constituted both within the representational fabric of quotidian genres and amongst their historical producers and consumers. Ultimately, I consider representations of typical social constituents as part of modernizing processes that generate manageable subjects and of marketing strategies that cultivate differentiated and targetable modes of consumer behavior. http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/314266410 Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 CET This dissertation uses archival sources to describe fifteenth- and sixteeth-century Florentine patrician homes as contexts for the visual arts. The introduction reviews the importance of Florentine palaces as an architectural phenomenon, notes the lack of attention scholars have given to the interiors of these buildings, and sets out the archival metholology used in this study. The first two chapters are descriptive. Based on Florentine household inventories preserved in the archives of the Office of Wards (Ufficio degli pupilli), chapter one describes the organization and contents of Florentine Renaissance houses and discusses the physical locations of art in those houses. Chapter two outlines the behavior in the marketplace for art and domestic fumisriings of six patricians who lived between 1450 and 1530; this chapter is dral/ll"l from these men' s personal records. The third chapter analyzes the broader patterns of their actions, stressing the importance of marriage as an occasion for the establishment of a household and focusing on the central place of the chamber (camera) in the earlier Renaissance concept of a house. This chapter also considers the function of religious art in houses.
