Reference Groups of Future-Oriented Men

Abstract: portant public state and national offices. Will "labor" then continue its conventional attitudes and stereotyped phrases regarding "workers," "toilers," "wage slaves," versus the owning, employing, and managerial "classes"; the "exploitation" of "labor" by "capital"; and the whole semantic tangle which today obscures the realities in the literature of the so-called "class struggle"? The various polling agencies would do well to explore more comprehensively and intensively than they have done hitherto the relation of occupation, income, and other criteria of status to ideological affiliation. Actually what is needed is a more direct and comprehensive study of the value systems of the population as the basic determinant of their "class" affiliation. Present notions of class alignments are based on an assumed high correlation of (a) such objective characteristics as occupation and income with (b) basic value systems and resulting political alignments. In the last decade reliable methods of more direct and dependable study of class alignments according to basic value systems have been developed. On the basis of more refined and comprehensive research of this kind, much of the present confusion in the discussion of social classes both on national and international levels would be greatly clarified.8

Producing unitary class definitions from module specifications

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing a module specification to produce predicator definitions is disclosed. The predicator definitions provide a facility for type-safe processing of generic elements (typically from markup processing or synthetic-language parsing) to specific elements suitable for accumulation as member data in an application-specific data structure. The method processes representations of modules, classes, and members. The predicators provided include a predicator base class definition, a plurality of predicator specializations, a promissary reference base class definition, and a plurality of promissary reference class definitions.

Two simultaneous actions of big mapping class groups

Abstract: We study two actions of big mapping class groups. The first is an action by isometries on a Gromov-hyperbolic graph. The second is an action by homeomorphisms on a circle in which the vertices of the graph naturally embed. The first two parts of the paper are devoted to the definition of objects and tools needed to introduce these two actions; in particular, we define and prove the existence of equators for infinite type surfaces, we define the hyperbolic graph and the circle needed for the actions, and we describe the Gromov-boundary of the graph using the embedding of its vertices in the circle. The third part focuses on some fruitful relations between the dynamics of the two actions. For example, we prove that loxodromic elements (for the first action) necessarily have rational rotation number (for the second action). In addition, we are able to construct non trivial quasimorphisms on many subgroups of big mapping class groups, even if they are not acylindrically hyperbolic.

Impact of Technological Advancements on The Establishment of Characteristics of Children

Abstract: The progress of information systems and technology today is indeed so rapid. This of course has an impact on various orders of life, including the characteristics of a child. In completing this research, the researcher used research methods with qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the process of finding information the researcher uses the method; Observation, and study of literature from various sources such as scientific journals and books. This study analyzes the impact of technological advances on the formation of children's character. As for the results, most children have characteristics that are not good. In addition, technology has a good side, especially in terms of learning, namely it can create effectiveness in learning. However, the use of gadgets outside of class hours needs to be a concern for educators, especially parents.
