Group 1 national minorities and strategies to promote multicultural societies
The document discusses strategies to promote multicultural societies in several countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It notes that national minorities face stereotypes, discrimination, lack of political participation, and general social and economic problems. To address these issues, it recommends civic education, strengthening legal protections for minorities in line with international standards, and increasing minority representation in government and media. Global cooperation and assessment of current programs are also emphasized.
Internationalizing Curriculum in Universities (Module 13)
This document discusses internationalization in higher education. It defines internationalization as integrating an international dimension into higher education institutions and their functions. While globalization is changing the world, internationalization is universities' response to globalization by implementing international policies and programs. The document outlines considerations for internationalizing curriculum, such as developing intercultural competence and preparing students for a global workforce. It also debates whether internationalization leads to commercializing education. Looking ahead, the document predicts growing demand, competition, and privatization in higher education internationally. It raises challenges in balancing local, national and global expectations of universities.
Internationalizing Curriculum in Universities (Module 13)
This document discusses the concepts of internationalization and globalization in higher education. It defines internationalization as integrating an international dimension into higher education institutions and their functions, while globalization refers to broader economic and social forces that internationalization aims to respond to. The document outlines debates around whether internationalization risks commodifying education and presents different views on universities' role in preparing students for a globalized world. It also explores trends in higher education like growing private institutions, rising student demand internationally, and challenges in balancing different stakeholder needs. The future is uncertain but may involve increased competition and new models of transnational education.
Quality and Equity in Education
The document discusses the goals of education and requirements for a legitimate democratic state. It argues that true integration means more than just physical desegregation, but integration into equal opportunity structures. Real integration should be creative, respectful of all groups, and transformative of the mainstream. The document also notes challenges like school segregation and achievement gaps that public education faces.
Durban wg the requirements of internationalization of higher education
The document discusses internationalization in higher education at a conference of the International Association of Universities. It addresses key issues around distinguishing internationalization from homogenizing globalization. Recommendations include universities taking initiative in internationalization rather than reacting to market forces, developing clear internationalization policies, ensuring quality of internationalization processes, and promoting partnership and intercultural competence among global citizens. There was debate around whether internationalization curriculum should prepare experts in fields or not prescribe details, and whether having the same curriculum abroad is internationalization or globalization.

Only $1 million of a required $35 million private endowment for Mississippi's three historically black universities has been raised so far. The endowment was part of a 2002 desegregation settlement to fund new programs and buildings. However, no fundraising campaign has been planned by the College Board responsible for raising the funds. University presidents are concerned that such an effort could conflict with their own fundraising campaigns. Raising the remaining money will be difficult but board members believe it is possible if a strategy is implemented.

The document discusses the Protocol of San Salvador (PSS), an additional protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights that establishes mechanisms for measuring progress on economic, social, and cultural rights in Latin America and the Caribbean. States parties submit national reports to the PSS following-up mechanism using a set of approved progress indicators across two groups of rights. The indicators are intended to help states evaluate fulfillment of social rights, identify issues, and develop strategies for progressive realization of rights in a participatory process beyond just reporting. They include quantitative and qualitative measures across structural, process, and outcome areas relating to rights incorporation, budgetary commitment, and state capabilities.
Defesa de Lula sobre Triplex
Em 2005, Marisa Letícia adquiriu uma cota de participação em um apartamento na cidade de Guarujá através da cooperativa Bancoop. Em 2009, o empreendimento foi transferido para a construtora OAS através de um acordo judicial. A família de Lula não aderiu ao novo contrato e manteve o direito de resgatar a cota. O apartamento 164-A pertence à OAS e nunca foi propriedade de Lula ou sua família.
CLEAN: A Patented Risk-Neutral Approach to MBS Valuation
This document describes the CLEANTM model for valuing mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The CLEANTM model treats mortgages as callable amortizing bonds and models prepayments by dividing mortgage pools into buckets based on borrower behavior. The key risk factors in the model are interest rates, volatility, and homeowner credit spreads. The model calibrates quickly and intuitively based on observable market data. It provides realistic valuations, risk measurements, and trading opportunities without the limitations of other prepayment models.
The Opacity of the CDS Basis
1. CDS is a huge financial market, with outstanding contracts exceeding world GDP.
2. Some investors like Michael Burry and John Paulson made billions on CDS that insured against subprime mortgage defaults, while European banks lost large sums as the sellers of those CDS contracts.
3. There is debate around how to properly calculate the "CDS basis," which is the difference between a CDS premium and the credit spread of the underlying bond. This is because there are different ways to calculate the bond's credit spread.
