Pavement Surface on Macadam Base, Adair County, HR-209, Construction Report, 1980

The objectives were to determine the feasibility and performance of this type of construction and to determine if the macadam base is effective in reducin9or eliminating D-cracking deterioration.

Trends in motor vehicle crash mortality in Europe, 1980-2007.

Recent trends (1980-2007) in mortality from road traffic crashes in European countries, and, for comparative purposes, in the USA and Japan were reviewed. Data came from the World Health Organisation database. Age-standardised rates, at all ages and at 15-24, 25-64, >=65 years, were computed. Joinpoint regression analyses to evaluate significant changes in trends were performed. In the European Union as a whole rates declined from 20.2 in 1987 to 13.5/100,000 in 2007 in men, and from 6.3 to 3.7/100,000 in women; European Union rates remained lower than USA, but higher than Japanese ones. In 2007, the highest male rates were in Lithuania (36.7/100,000), the Russian Federation (35.2), Ukraine (29.8), and Latvia (28.5), and the lowest ones in the Netherlands (6.2) and Sweden (6.9); the highest female rates were in the Russian Federation (11.3), Lithuania (9.7), Belarus, Latvia, and Ukraine (around 8), and the lowest ones in Switzerland (1.7), the UK, and Nordic countries (around 2). Mortality from motor vehicle crashes declined in northern and western European countries and - though to a lesser extent - in southern European countries, too. Mortality trends were also favourable in the Czech Republic and Poland since the mid 1990's, whereas they were still upwards in Romania and the Russian Federation. No trend was observed in Hungary and Ukraine. Trends were consistent in various age groups considered. Thus, additional urgent and integrated intervention is required to prevent avoidable deaths from motor vehicle crashes, particularly in selected central and eastern European countries.

Elites nationales ou globalisées ? Les dirigeants des grandes entreprises suisses entre standardisation et spécificités helvétiques (1980-2000)

La globalisation croissante du monde économique suscite un vif débat dans la sociologie des élites. Certains postulent l'émergence d'une classe capitaliste transnationale homogène, tandis que d'autres affirment la persistance de spécificités nationales dans le processus de formation des dirigeants d'entreprises. Pour situer le cas suisse dans ce débat, cet article compare le profil des dirigeants des 110 plus grandes firmes helvétiques en 1980 et en 2000. Les résultats montrent un fort processus d'internationalisation (hausse du nombre d'étrangers) et une modification des profils de formation (augmentation des Masters in Business Administration). La globalisation ne signifie pas pour autant une standardisation des profils puisqu'on observe une grande diversité des parcours professionnels et la persistance de formes de légitimité spécifiques au contexte helvétique.

Comportamento vegetativo de seis cultivares de coqueiro-anão (Cocos nucifera L.), em Santo Antônio de Leverger - MT

A utilização de variedades ou genótipos de coqueiro adaptados às condições edafoclimáticas de uma região é de fundamental importância para a obtenção de altas produtividades. Neste experimento, estudou-se o comportamento vegetativo de seis cultivares de coqueiro-anão no município de Santo Antônio de Leverger - MT. As cultivares avaliadas foram: Anão-Vermelho-da-Malásia (AVM), Anão-Verde-de-Jiqui (AVeJ), Anão-Vermelho-de-Gramame (AVG), Anão-Vermelho-de-Camarões (AVC), Anão-Amarelo-de-Gramame (AAG) e Anão-Amarelo-da-Malásia (AAM) plantadas em maio de 1998, nas quais foram avaliadas, de abril de 1999 a dezembro de 2000, as seguintes características: circunferência do coleto (CC), número de folhas emitidas (NFE), número de folhas vivas (NFV), número de folhas mortas (NFM), número de folíolos na folha 3 (NFoF3), comprimento de folíolo na folha 3 (CFoF3), comprimento da folha 3 (CF3) e comprimento de pecíolo na folha 3 (CPF3). Utilizou-se delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições, tendo cada parcela 16 plantas úteis. Para as características circunferência do coleto (CC), número de folíolos na folha 3 (NFoF3) e comprimento da folha 3 (CF3), o AAM apresentou os menores valores. O AVeJ e AVM apresentaram maiores crescimentos de planta, enquanto o AAM, AAG e AVC apresentaram menor crescimento; já o AVG apresentou desempenho intermediário.
