Resistencia do carrapato Boophilus microplus a carrapaticidas no Brasil Central.

Esta publicacao tem por objetivo fornecer subsidios para o diagnostico de resistencia aos carrapaticidas e orientar quanto as acoes no caso de essa resistencia ser observada em uma propriedade rural. A Embrapa Cerrados desenvolveu um trabalho com o objetivo de caracterizar a susceptibilidade do B. microplus, em relacao aos principios ativos carrapaticidas utilizados no Distrito Federal e Goias, empregando metodologia mundialmente recomendada, cujos resultados sao aqui apresentados. Nas diferentes localidades estudadas, foi observado indicio de resistencia do parasito a quase todos os principios ativos testados. O produto a base de amitraz foi o mais eficiente. Ha necessidade de campanha de conscientizacao sobre o problema da resistencia dirigida aos produtores rurais e de sensibiliza-los para a realizacao de testes com carrapaticidas para posterior recomendacao do produto a ser utilizado na fazenda e indicacao do manejo para controle do carrapato. Foram observadas variacoes da eficacia dos produtos nas diferentes amostras testadas, independente da localizacao das propriedades rurais. Nos testes com larvas, utilizando-se papeis impregnados com produtos acaricidas puros, a flumetrina mostrou-se mais eficiente nas diferentes concentracoes.

The Rawls-Tawney theorem and the digital divide in postindustrial society.

The digital divide continues to challenge political and academic circles worldwide. A range of policy solutions is briefly evaluated, from laissez-faire on the right to “arithmetic” egalitarianism on the left. The article recasts the digital divide as a problem for the social distribution of presumptively important information (e.g., electoral data, news, science) within postindustrial society. Endorsing in general terms the left-liberal approach of differential or “geometric” egalitarianism, it seeks to invest this with greater precision, and therefore utility, by means of a possibly original synthesis of the ideas of John Rawls and R. H. Tawney. It is argued that, once certain categories of information are accorded the status of “primary goods,” their distribution must then comply with principles of justice as articulated by those major 20th century exponents of ethical social democracy. The resultant Rawls-Tawney theorem, if valid, might augment the portfolio of options for interventionist information policy in the 21st century

Sustainable urban transport in Central America - a future without the car?

Is it conceivable to contemplate a future without the car as the center of an urban transportation system? Can emerging economies grow without concomitant growth in car usage? San Pedro Sula, Honduras, is one city at a critical decision point about the future of transportation and mobility. Will it be a sustainable transport future that balances economic, environmental and social needs or will it be the traditional “predict and provide” approach that attempts to expand the capacity of the road system to meet future travel demand. This paper provides some background into the issue for this Central American city by describing the current urban transport system, current plans for improvement and outlines a process for defining a vision for a sustainable transport future in San Pedro Sula. The paper concludes with a challenge to all cities that currently have low automobile ownership rates to consider a sustainable transport system in order to “thrive” with transport choices for all residents rather than “choke” on congestion and the negative side effects thereof.

The Notion of Central Europe in Historiography

The aim of this paper is analyse the notion of Central Europe used in historiography. The author reconstructs different meanings of this term used in the works of George Schopflin, Peter Burke, Oskar Halecki, Piotr Wandycz. This notion has not only geographic but also social and historical meaning.
