Burnout Narratives of Municipal Management Teams.This study aims to gain an understanding personal experiences burnout phenomenon among members municipal management teams. Fourteen managers were interviewed. Four types narratives iden-tified: denier, persevering, recovered and de-fender. These data analysed using Labov & Walezky’s model the structural narra-tive clauses. The analysis reveal...

Relativistic jets are a fundamental aspect of accretion onto black holes on all scales. They can carry away a large fraction of the available accretion power in collimated flows which later energise particles in the ambient medium. The removal of this accretion power and angular momentum must have a dramatic effect on the overall process of accretion. In their most spectacular form they are ass...

Context. Very high magnetic fields at the surface of neutron stars or in the accretion disk of black holes inhibit the production of jets. Aims. We quantify here the magnetic field strength for the jet formation. Methods. By using, the Alfvén Radius, RA, we study what we call the basic condition, RA/R∗ = 1 or RA/RLSO = 1 (LSO, last stable orbit), in its dependency with the magnetic field streng...

IN the course of recording eye movements it has become evident that the fixation direction of the eye changes slightly when the colour of the fixation target is changed. The technique used is that described by Ditchburn and Ginsborg (1953), photographing the movements of a beam of light reflected from a mirror attached to a contact lens worn by a subject. Several modifications as described by F...

The equilibrium of the market for offenses using agentbased simulation is studied. One of the potential applications of it is to seek optimal policy in governing an open multi-agent system, especially when heterogeneous agents may behave maliciously. A theoretical work by Fender (1999) is chosen as the basic framework for the simulation. The simulation results show more detailed properties of t...
