Popular Power and Vanguardism: The Democratic Deficit of 1980s ‘Peoples Power’
Politikon, 2017ABSTRACTThe era of ‘people’s power’ in South Africa between 1986 and 1987 is often considered to have held the makings of a participatory form of democracy. Analysis of the traditions that shaped it, however, reveals a discourse of participation that was not altogether democratic. Through examination of historic documents and interviews with activists,

Powering Up Students to Challenge Their Own Deficit Views
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2017AbstractIntervention programs designed to improve literacy skills also produce unintended outcomes that sustain a deficit view around some students. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions about learning of a group of 12–14‐year‐old Australian students assigned to a reading intervention class. The article reports on data collected from

New Power: Political Deficit and Ethical Vacuum
2005Economic globalization is advancing much faster than world governance. It is escaping from the nation-state and progressively imposing its logic on the entire planet. This gap between the political and the economic is causing public powerlessness in respect of pursuing proper development strategies and democratically debating the societal stakes of ...

Methodological effects on the ˙VO2-power regression and the accumulated O2 deficit
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1996The VO2-power regression and O2 demand predicted for a supra-VO2peak intensity (i.e., 432 W) were determined in seven well-trained male cyclists (mean +/- SD: VO2peak = 5.29 +/- 0.51 l.min-1), using five incremental exercise protocols. These protocols were either continuous (CON) or discontinuous (DISCON), and comprised five to eight work bouts ranging

Mitigating water supply deficit through micro-grid powered pumping station
International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering, 2021The stochastic nature of water demand could lead to deficits in the case that flows from the reservoir and pressure in networks are not properly managed. Installation of pumping facilities has the potential to resolve this issue. However, the energy used by these facilities is a concern. In addition, utilisation of the grid also contributes towards the

75 Plantarflexor Muscle Power Deficits In Runners With Achilles Tendinopathy
Abstracts, 2014Introduction Muscle power of the Plantarflexors has been shown to be a prospective risk factor for Achilles Tendinopathy (AT). 1 Several studies have shown associations between Achilles tendinopathy and Plantarflexor power, but little thought has been given to how the individual muscles of the Triceps Surae are affected.

Dynamic Study of an Extreme System Reactive Power Deficit
IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1985The dynamic study described in this paper shows that relatively simple and inexpensive procedures are available that can effectively control a system reactive power deficit. By combining these procedures hierarchically, an automatic system protection is possible to enhance power system security against one of the most serious causes of breakdown.

Secondary voltage control based on estimation of reactive power deficit
2013 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting, 2013In this paper an approach to perform secondary voltage control in the transmission network is proposed. The approach is based on the nonlinear programming and has two main features in comparison with the already proposed approaches. The first feature is that the buses where compensation devices are connected are selected as pilot nodes which will be ...

Power delegation and the European Central Bank's democratic deficit
Asia Europe Journal, 2005Delegation involves both costs and benefits. That is to say that delegation is problematic as the principal and agent may have conflicting interests in any act of delegation. Related to this puzzle, I focus on the issue of democratic deficit in the European Central Bank (ECB) as a consequence of power delegation by the European Union (EU) member states

International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2013
Deficit ways of speaking about educationally displaced young people are a dominant feature in the language educators draw on to make sense of particular young people. This language can have debilitating effects on the lives of those young people it is applied to. Despite well over 20 years of critique, deficit truths have remained dominant. However, in
