The duration of stay of a ship in a drydock depends on the scope of routine underwater (submerged portion of the ship’s hull) repairing works (dry-docking works only) to be carried out. More specifically, the repairing works that are affected by outside water. These are, mainly, hull cleaning, coating (blasting and painting), rudder, propeller, stern tube aft seal, hull anodes, ICCP, sea valves, sea chests, tunnel thruster(s), bottom plugs, underwater structural steel (bottom and shipside) and so on. These dry-docking works dictate ships’ dry-docking time (days) and labour (man-days). Then what about the deadweight, age and type? Do these have any impact on dry-docking time and labour? An attempt has been made in this article to examine if there exist any possible relationship between a ships’ dry-docking time and its labour, and deadweight, age and type. Dry-docking time and related information for 586 cargo ships and dry-docking labour and related information for 50 cargo ships of various deadweights, ages and types were collected from a single shipyard. These were analyzed and presented in both tabular and graphical forms to demonstrate the possible relationship between dry-docking time and labour, and deadweight, age and type of ships. Ships’ dry-docking time and labour are very vital for both the ship owner and the shipyard because various charges in drydock are many folds higher than that at quay- side. As such, the reduction in ships’ dry-docking time and labour contributes in saving for the ship owner and increases the earning for the shipyard. A proper estimation of ships’ dry-docking time and labour can achieve this. In order to do so, the past information/data about ships’ dry-docking time and labour may serve a practical guide to prepare an achievable time and labour planning for dry-docking works. In this article, the authors have attempted to identify the independent variables that influence ships’ dry-docking time and labour (dependent variables) and suggested their possible inter-relationships. The inter-relationships between the independent variables (deadweight, age and type) and dependent variables (time and labour) appear to be linear.

This essay tackles the question of why people enjoy the re-broadcasting of state socialist programmes, asking whether their desires are driven by nostalgia, manipulated by neocapitalist schemes that commodify the past as an audience-raising strategy or simply linked to a compulsive desire to revisit a ‘traumatic’ past. To do so, I first draw on existing literature on mediated nostalgia to examine some of the possible explanations for the continued popularity of socialist-era television in post-socialist Eastern Europe. Focusing on the Romanian context, I discuss audience memories of socialist TV and then zoom in on some of the most prevalent memories of socialist entertainment in this country: the New Year’s Eve comedy sketches and Pistruiatul, one of very few television series made in Romania during socialism. I argue that in order to understand the popularity of socialist-era reruns, we need to look both into how audiences remember these programmes and into how these programmes construct long-term affinities with the audience. To do so, I discuss two kinds of pleasures: first, the pleasure of recalling one’s ability to resist ideological messages and, second, the pleasure of re-watching familiar content and, through that, reliving the sense of intimate connection with television characters.

Intervening Variables

This paper touches briefly several theories of creativity used for the past two decades. It then suggests a behavioral model in which methods of fostering creativity are considered as measurable independent variables. Other personality correlates, such as attitudes and motives, cognition and imagery, and psychomotor factors are considered as second-order intervening variables. Simpler and relatively less complex behavior patterns as affect, cognition, and psychomotor (creative interaction) are conceived as first-order intervening variables manipulable and externalizable as creative motivation, ability, and interaction, are conceived as measurable dependent variables. The various dimensions of the model, cognitive, affective and psychomotor-functioning, are seen as interdependent.

The subject is one which may seem of somewhat minor importance, but, on investigation, it will be found that, even under present-day conditions, it requires careful attention by life assurance offices and by all societies and funds which have liabilities depending upon the duration of human life. As an illustration of its importance it may be mentioned that it is well known that statements of ages made in the past by the public for the purposes of census and death returns contain a considerable number of errors, both intentional and unintentional: and it can readily be understood that life assurance offices would certainly involve themselves in serious loss if they dispensed with satisfactory proof of age. Were they to do so the resulting errors in age would be relatively far in excess of the corresponding errors contained in census returns, owing to the monetary advantages which could be gained by understating the age at the date of effecting a policy of assurance, and to these advantages acting as an incentive to fraud. Accordingly, it is recognised by all life assurance offices—though not always by their assured—that proof of age is a requirement which must be complied with before payment of a claim.

It has become fashionable, during the past decade, to study the problem of foreign aid in terms of projection of aid requirements. Foreign aid is typi¬cally justified in the donor countries as a commitment to achieve a specific development objective having a finite cost. For the developing countries, on the other hand, the "requirements" approach helps to focus attention on the inadequacy of the existing levels of foreign aid and gives concrete shape to their demands for more assistance1. While projections have served a useful purpose by indicating the broad orders of magnitude of aid requirements and suggesting some criteria for aid allocation, they are, by their very nature, based on a number of simplifying assumptions about the behaviour of certain key relationships in the economy. Savings, import substitution and the choice of technology cannot really be treated as independent of the volume and form of foreign assistance. The limitations of aid projections, which generally do so, are obvious to those who make them and those who use them. Justification for the continuing interest in such estimates lies in the "ceteris paribus" assumption so commonly made in economic analysis. By the same token, one must exercise substantial caution in drawing policy conclusions from those estimates2

In this article I analyze how Americans draw upon the authority of both ancient, so-called “hidden” texts and the authority of scholarly discourse, even overtly fictional scholarly discourse, in their imaginings of the “re-discovered” figure of Mary Magdalene. Reading recent treatments of Mary Magdalene provides me with an entrance onto three topics: how Americans see and use the past, how Americans understand knowledge itself, and how Americans construct “religion” and “spirituality.” I do so through close studies of contemporary websites of communities that focus on Mary Magdalene, as well as examinations of relevant books, historical novels, reader reviews, and comic books. Focusing on Mary Magdalene alongside tropes of wisdom also uncovers the gendered dynamics at play in constructions of antiquity, knowledge, and religious accessibility.

Like nations and civilizations, sciences also pass through period of crises when established theories are overthrown by the unpredictable behaviour of events. Economics is passing through such a crisis. The challenge thrown by the Great Depression of early 1930s took a decade before Keynes re-established the supremacy of economics. But this supremacy has again been upset by the crisis of poverty in the vast under-developed world which attained political independence after the Second World War. Poverty had always existed but never before had it been of such concern to economists as during the past twenty five years or so. Economic literature dealing with this problem has piled up but so have the agonies of poverty. No plausible and well-integrated theory of economic development or under-development has emerged so far, though brilliant advances have been made in isolated directions.

It is an honour for me as President of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists to welcome you to the 13th Annual General Meeting and Conference of the Society. I consider it a great privilege to do so as this Meeting coincides with the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the state of Pakistan, a state which emerged on the map of the postwar world as a result of the Muslim freedom movement in the Indian Subcontinent. Fifty years to the date, we have been jubilant about it, and both as citizens of Pakistan and professionals in the social sciences we have also been thoughtful about it. We are trying to see what development has meant in Pakistan in the past half century. As there are so many dimensions that the subject has now come to have since its rather simplistic beginnings, we thought the Golden Jubilee of Pakistan to be an appropriate occasion for such stock-taking.
