The problem of the factors involved in the development of the haploid syndrome in anuran embryos is as yet unsolved. It is known that about 90 % of all haploid frog embryos develop the haploid syndrome, which is characterized by the presence of oedema and sluggishness, by reduction in pigmentation and in the efficiency of the heart and circulation, and by a partial failure of the gut to coil and of muscle to differentiate. The two most favoured explanations of the development of the haploid syndrome have been nucleocytoplasmic imbalance, since a haploid nucleus is only half the size of a diploid nucleus in the same-sized egg, and unmasked recessive lethal genes. There is good evidence that an abnormal nucleocytoplasmic ratio is an important contributory factor in the development of the haploid syndrome. Briggs (1949) compared populations of haploids developing from large and small eggs and Subtelny (1958) compared the development of haploids and homozygous diploids which possessed a reduplicated set of haploid chromosomes.

Institutionalized mentally retarded adolescents and young adults ( N = 80) performed on a card-sorting task immediately preceding and following a series of neutral, success, total failure or partial failure experiences. As predicted, the success group demonstrated an increment in performance, the total failure group showed no change in performance, and the partial failure group showed a decrement in performance.

Colonial Encounters

In Chapter 1, I argue that ‘wildness’ is a product settler attempts to understand and thereby spatially remake the Northern Australia since the first colonial encounters in the 17th Century. For European explorers, a region like Cape York Peninsula was a wilderness to be surveyed, and through the misadventures and conflicts of inland expeditions it came to be understood as ‘wretched’ country populated with ‘treacherous’ peoples. Surveying subsequent uses of ‘the wild’ in this region, this chapter shows that if, on the one hand, part of the settler project has been to discursively and materially dictate the shape and texture of the region through such forms of wildness – ‘wilderness,’ ‘wild time,’ ‘wild blacks’ and ‘wild whites’ – then, on the other, the contemporary ‘wilderness’ should be understood not only as a product of the resistance and resilience of its Indigenous peoples, but also as the partial failure of this project.

Partial Success

There are many e-government failures in developing countries. Most studies look at these after the event (post hoc), but this chapter takes an original approach to look mid-implementation (durante hoc) in order to provide recommendations for improvement. The authors chose a partial failure/partial success land management information system being implemented in one Ethiopian city. The project has made retrieval of land information quicker and simpler but is only partly implemented, and is still—on occasion—circumvented by public servants for personal gain. They used design-reality gap framework to understand why the project had partly failed. The authors used the design-reality gap analysis to propose an action plan that would help institutionalise the system, steering it from partial failure to success. They demonstrate the value of this framework as a tool for mid-implementation analysis of e-government projects. The authors recommend its usage on other ongoing e-government projects in developing countries.
