Reseña bibliográfica : Rodrik, Dani (2011) The globalization paradox. Democracy and the future of the world economy. W. W. Norton & Co. New York, USA

Dani Rodrik es un conocido economista, nacido en Turquía, Profesor de Economía Política Internacional en la John F. Kennedy School of Government, de Harvard University. Su trabajo se ha destacando en temas de economía internacional, desarrollo económico y economía política. Su área central de investigación se centra en la explicación de que constituye una buena política económica y por qué algunos gobiernos son mejores que otros al adoptar distintas políticas, logrando distintos resultados en materia de desarrollo económico. En este sentido, es un defensor de la estrategia “productivista” del Este de Asia, asignando al Estado y a determinada política económica activa un rol central.

Codigo Brasiliense, ou, Collecção das leis, alvarás, decretos, cartas regias &c., promulgadas no Brasil desde a feliz chegada do Principe Regente N. S. a estes Estados

O Codigo Brasiliense reúne as primeiras leis promulgadas em solo brasileiro, desde o ano de 1808 até 1822, abrangendo todo o Período Joanino. Essas leis fazem parte dos primeiros impressos produzidos pela Impressão Regia, possuindo, portanto, a característica de incunábulos brasileiros. Segundo pesquisa da John Carter Brown Library, existem várias versões tipograficamente diferentes, não encadernadas, impressas possivelmente em Lisboa. As diferenças podem ser detectadas, particularmente, pela capital ornamentada E, cuja variante digitalizada encontra-se no site daquela instituição. É muito raro encontrar em um mesmo acervo os 3 volumes que compõem o Código e, mais ainda, encontrar exemplares completos. É obra importantíssima para a memória brasileira.

A actual regulação do crédito ao consumo

"Consumidores somos todos nós como impressivamente se ex­pressou John F. Kennedy em 15 de Março de 1962. E diríamos que "consumidores de credito "somos muitos. É neste contexto que assume especial relevância a recente aprovação, no nosso ordenamento jurídico, de nova normativa reguladora do crédito ao consumo. Por outro lado, será de realçar o comando consti­tucional que prevê a protecção dos consumidores. De facto, prescreve o artigo 60° da Constituição da República Portuguesa que "os consu­midores têm direito à qualidade dos bens e serviços consumidos, à for­mação e à informação, à protecção da saúde, da segurança e dos seus interesses económicos, bem como à reparação dos danos". lmporta, pois, conhecer em rigor as normas que actualmente re­gem o acesso e a regulação dos contratos de crédito ao consumo, num contexto de harmonização comunitária deste instituto jurídico-económico. Será oportuno, sobretudo, compreender de que forma o diploma que actualmente rege a matéria em questão protege de modo mais vin­cado a parte considerada economicamente mais débil.

La educación norteamericana en el mensaje especial del Presidente de los EEUU.

Se recoge el discurso del presidente de los Estados Unidos, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, pronunciado en el Congreso norteamericano el 20 de febrero de 1961, sobre la estructura del sistema educativo en ese país. En el discurso Kennedy defiende que el progreso como nación no puede ser más rápido que el que se alcance en la educación. Los puntos esenciales que trata son: la asistencia a las escuelas públicas, elementales y medias; la construcción de servicios en colegios y universidades; la ayuda a los estudiantes y la orientación profesional.

Impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation on transatlantic flight routes and clear-air turbulence

The variation of wind-optimal transatlantic flight routes and their turbulence potential is investigated to understand how upper-level winds and large-scale flow patterns can affect the efficiency and safety of long-haul flights. In this study, the wind-optimal routes (WORs) that minimize the total flight time by considering wind variations are modeled for flights between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York, New York, and Heathrow Airport (LHR) in London, United Kingdom, during two distinct winter periods of abnormally high and low phases of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) teleconnection patterns. Eastbound WORs approximate the JFK–LHR great circle (GC) route following northerly shifted jets in the +NAO period. Those WORs deviate southward following southerly shifted jets during the −NAO period, because eastbound WORs fly closely to the prevailing westerly jets to maximize tailwinds. Westbound WORs, however, spread meridionally to avoid the jets near the GC in the +NAO period to minimize headwinds. In the −NAO period, westbound WORs are north of the GC because of the southerly shifted jets. Consequently, eastbound WORs are faster but have higher probabilities of encountering clear-air turbulence than westbound ones, because eastbound WORs are close to the jet streams, especially near the cyclonic shear side of the jets in the northern (southern) part of the GC in the +NAO (−NAO) period. This study suggests how predicted teleconnection weather patterns can be used for long-haul strategic flight planning, ultimately contributing to minimizing aviation’s impact on the environment

Martha Thomas Fitzgerald Papers - Accession 273

The Martha Thomas Fitzgerald Papers consist of biographical data, correspondence, minutes, newspaper clippings, memoranda, reports, and photographs (of particular interest are the many photographs of rural S.C. school houses in the 1920s). The collection pertains to Mrs. Fitzgerald’s work with the South Carolina Department of Education, the South Carolina House of Representatives, and her work with various civic organizations such as the Altrusa Club, the League of Women Voters, the Daughters of American Colonists, United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), Business and Professional Women’s Club (BPW), Delta Kappa Gamma, South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Salvation Army. There is also information on the Status of Women Commission Council on Aging, agriculture, Queens College, University of South Carolina, Winthrop University, Columbia University, public health, South Carolina history, City of Columbia, South Carolina, and Richland County, South Carolina. Correspondents include Strom Thurmond and three letters from John F. Kennedy when he was senator. Mrs. Fitzgerald was the first woman elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in a general election.
