¿Cómo se define el liderazgo en la defensa europea? Un análisis fsQCA
2017
The paper addresses the issue of national leadership in the politics of European defence, in order to determine the relative value of different factors in the exercise of leadership, and the reasons why some countries are more willing than others to contribute to the development of the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy. The article starts by discussing the main contributions of the (neo)realist and constructivist approaches to European leadership on defence. It then highlights the process of development of EU defence policy and its setbacks. Leadership factors that characterize this development process are identified and employed to construct a fsQCA analysis, which assesses the leade…
III: „Relatives Risiko” und „NNT” - anschauliche Maße für binäre Daten
2002
Description of categorial data can often be based on contingency tables. However, percentages appearing in such tables must be meaningful: For most applications, it may be useful to employ factors of causal influence as the row entry variable and relate percentages to sub-groups defined by these row entries ("row percentages"). The comparison of success frequencies (i. e. binary information on "therapy success yes/no") may be based on two therapies, respective success frequencies and their ratio, the relative risk. In addition the success frequencies' difference, the absolute (or excess) risk, can be transformed into the "number needed to treat" (NNT). Many international journals demand thi…
If I Had My Life to Live over Again...
1995
The study was a replication of DeGenova’s (1992) study, aiming at identifying what elderly people would do differently if they had their life to live over. The Ss were 174 retired women (56%) and men (44%) born in 1927 or 1929, residing in urban areas. The subjects completed a questionnaire, Life Revision Index (LRI), developed by DeGenova (1992), assessing life revision in the areas of friends, family, work, education, leisure, religion, and health. The results show that education and leisure enjoyment are the areas with the greatest amount of desired change. More than 70% of the subjects would spent more time in education, if they had their lives to live over again. More than sixty percen…
