This is the original version of Principles and Practice, as published in 1982, with only minor changes. It is gratifying to point out that many of the predictions made in this book were confirmed by subsequent research, for example, the superiority of comprehensible-input based methods

of research, and inspired several successful change projects involving the redesign of work (e.g., For one, a number of researchers have been unable to provide empirical support for the major tenets of the two-factor theory itself (see, for example, Moreover, the theory does not provide for differences

This paper describes a method which senses a changing environment by collecting failed instances, uses concept learning for acquiring a precondition for a control policy, and partially modifies the policy for adapting to subsequent changes of the environment by reinforcement learning. A

In an integrated world capital market, the same pricing kernel is applicable to all securities. We apply this idea to the stock returns of different countries. We investigate the underlying determinants of cross-country stock return correlations. First, we determine, for a given, measured degree of commonality of country outputs, what should be the degree of correlation of national stock returns. We propose a framework that contains a statistical model for output and an intertemporal financial market model for stock returns. We then attempt to match the correlations generated by the model with measured correlations. Our results show that under the hypothesis of market segmentation, the model correlations are much smaller than observed correlations. However, assuming world markets are integrated, our model correlations closely match observed correlations. ∗Dumas and Ruiz acknowledge gratefully the support of the HEC Foundation.

Background and Purpose—The Framingham Heart Study group cardiovascular disease risk profile (FCRP) score was used to assess the relationship between baseline cardiovascular risk and subsequent changes in resting state cerebral blood flow (CBF) in cognitively normal older participants from

experiment. Kelrnan (1953) tried to pursue the matter further. He reasoned that if the person is induced to make an overt statement contrary to his private opinion by the offer of some reward, then the greater the reward offered, the greater should be the subsequent opinion change. His data, however, did
