We provide a characterization of selection correspondences in two-person exchange economies that can be core rationalized in the sense that there exists a preference profile with some standard properties that generates the observed choices as the set of core elements of the economy for any given initial endowment vector. The approach followed in this paper deviates from the standard rational ch...

An important area of business ethics research focuses on how otherwise normal and law-abiding individuals can engage in acts of corruption. Key in this literature is the concept of rationalization. This is where individuals attempt to justify past and future corrupt deeds to themselves and others. In this article, we argue that rationalization often entails a process of overcompensation whereby...

Professional development is critical in providing constant updates on EFL teachers’ teaching practice. This mixed methods study was conducted to explore the effects of participation in action research on EFL teachers’ practice. Eighteen junior school English teachers participated in this study. Teacher participants conducted their action research during a five-month period. The quantitative pha...

We give an overview of five rationalization theories for spaces (Bousfield-Kan’s ℚ-completion; Sullivan’s rationalization; Bousfield’s homology Casacuberta-Peschke’s Ω-rationalization; Gómez-Tato-Halperin-Tanré’s π1-fiberwise rationalization) that extend the classical simply connected spaces. also corresponding groups (ℚ-completion; Hℚ-localization; Baumslag Malcev completion.

While most Western music today uses the well-established equal-tempered 12 tone scale, there are many reasons why composers and music theorists are still interested in “just” scales in which the scale tones are simple integer ratios. Therefore the rationalization of musical scales is an important problem in music theory. The first general scale rationalization algorithm based on a complete enum...
