Did the World Bank drive tariff reforms in Eastern Africa?

This paper explores tariff reform in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda between the early 1990s and early 2000s. Tariffs were reformed in an across the board manner consistent with implementing World Bank programs: the average tariff was reduced and the dispersion of tariffs was compressed, with the highest tariffs being eliminated. There is limited evidence of political economy influences on the cross sector pattern of tariffs and reforms, except for a tendency to offer greater protection to larger manufacturing sectors in all countries except Uganda. The technocratic reforms have diluted relative protection and political economy influences in all the four countries.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the gall-forming fly, Fergusonina taylori(Nelson and Yeates) (Diptera: Fergusoninidae)

The monogeneric family Fergusoninidae consists of gall-forming flies that, together with Fergusobia (Tylenchida: Neotylenchidae) nematodes, form the only known mutualistic association between insects and nematodes. In this study, the entire 16,000 bp mitochondrial genome of Fergusonina taylori Nelson and Yeates was sequenced. The circular genome contains one encoding region including 27 genes and one non-coding A þT-rich region. The arrangement of the proteincoding, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) genes was the same as that found in the ancestral insect. Nucleotide composition is highly A þ T biased. All of the protein initiation codons are ATN, except for nad1 which begins with TTT. All 22 tRNA anticodons of F. taylori match those observed in Drosophila yakuba, and all form the typical cloverleaf structure except for tRNA-Ser (AGN) which lacks a dihydrouridine (DHU) arm. Secondary structural features of the rRNA genes of Fergusonina are similar to those proposed for other insects, with minor modifications. The mitochondrial genome of Fergusonina presented here may prove valuable for resolving the sister group to the Fergusoninidae, and expands the available mtDNA data sources for acalyptrates overall.

A Nobel Prize for governance and institutions : Oliver Williamson and Elinor Ostrom

This paper reviews the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics jointly awarded to Oliver Williamson for his work on governance in organizations and the boundaries of the firm, and to Elinor Ostrom for her work on the governance of common pool resources. We review the careers and the research contributions of Williamson and Ostrom to the theory and analysis of economic institutions of governance. Both winners of this Prize for 'economic governance' are thoroughly deserved, yet like the Hayek- Myrdal Prize of 1974 their respective approaches, methods and findings are almost diametrically opposed. Williamson offers a top-down contracts-based solution to the incentive problems of opportunism in corporate governance, whereas Ostrom offers a bottom-up communication-based solution to the governance opportunities of community resources. We offer some critical comments on Williamson's analytic work and discussion of the potential for further application of Ostrom's case-study based experimental methodology. We conclude with a suggested third nominee to make better sense of how these two great scholars' works fit together, namely George Richardson'

Terms of engagement : consensus or control in remote Australian resource management?

Public engagement is a defining feature of collaborative approaches to environmental management (Petts 2006, Whelan and Oliver 2005). Public engagement in this context is focused on incorporating residents and communities of interest in activities like ecological restoration, catchment management, and environmental conservation in a wide range of situations (Nelson and Pettit 2004, Petts 2007). Some authors consider public engagement to be a sign of healthy democratic functioning in society (Skocpol and Fiorina 1999). Others draw attention to overcoming widely noted practical limitations of top-down mechanisms, emphasising that public engagement results in programs being implemented more effectively (Broderick 2005, Leach et al. 1999).

Nelson's (1976) Modified Card Sorting Test: A review

We review studies of Nelson's (1976) Modified Card Sorting Test (MCST) that have examined the performance of subjects with frontal lobe dysfunction. Six studies investigated the performance of normal controls and patients with frontal lobe dysfunction, whereas four studies compared the performance of frontal and nonfrontal patients. One further study compared the performance of amnesic patients both on the MCST and on the original Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Evidence regarding the MCST's differential sensitivity to frontal lobe dysfunction is weak, as is the evidence regarding the equivalence of the MCST and WCST. It is likely that the MCST is an altogether different test from the standard version. In the absence of proper normative data for the MCST, we provide a table of scores derived from the control groups of various studies. Given the paucity of evidence, further research is required before the MCST can be recommended for use as a marker of frontal lobe dysfunction.

Expected Performance of the ATLAS Experiment - Detector, Trigger and Physics

A detailed study is presented of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector. The reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets is investigated, together with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger. The physics potential for a variety of interesting physics processes, within the Standard Model and beyond, is examined. The study comprises a series of notes based on simulations of the detector and physics processes, with particular emphasis given to the data expected from the first years of operation of the LHC at CERN.

[Discurso do Deputado Carlos Nelson : Sessão Conjunta do Congresso Nacional de 29 de setembro de 1981]

Declara apoio a nota do Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil, Departamento de Brasília, contra o Projeto de Lei n. 4937/1981, de iniciativa do Governador Aimé Lamaison, que "dispõe sobre a desafetação de bens de uso comum do povo, situados no Distrito Federal". Critica a TERRACAP e a Secretaria de Viação e Obras pelo favorecimento da especulação imobiliária, através da alienação de áreas públicas e da desfiguração do Plano Piloto de Lúcio Costa. Denuncia as pressões sobre o Conselho de Arquitetura e Urbanismo. Afirma a necessidade de representação política para o Distrito Federal, de modo que o povo, através de seus mandatários, possa ter poder de decisão sobre a problemática urbana.

No Brasil, quem não é canalha na véspera, é canalha no dia seguinte, ou, A figura do canalha nas tragédias cariocas de Nelson Rodrigues

A presente dissertação de mestrado analisa a figura do canalha enquanto um tipo social inevitavelmente associado à estrutura cultural brasileira e, como diz seu título, no interior de um ciclo específico da obra dramatúrgica de Nelson Rodrigues: as ditas tragédias cariocas. De fato, ela divide-se em duas partes. Na primeira, põem-se em questão os méritos deste rótulo, tragédias cariocas, apontando, assim, para as implicações ditadas menos por motivos exegéticos do que editoriais de tal classificação. Também nesta primeira parte, figura a tese de que foi Nelson Rodrigues, a partir de A falecida (1953) sua primeira peça a receber esta classificação , um introdutor sui generis dos motivos do nacional-populismo no gênero dramático do país. Tal posição vai de encontro ao que afirma uma quase hegemônica corrente de opinião crítica que busca canonizar a versão de que o pioneirismo da tipificação social dos segmentos populares no drama nacional é patrimônio da geração politizada que capitaneada pelo Teatro de Arena quando do lançamento de Eles não usam black-tie, de Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, em 1958 viria a conferir um conteúdo programático e eivado de implicações ideológicas a este teatro que priorizaria sobretudo a cor local da vida brasileira. A segunda parte enfoca propriamente o objeto que a dissertação se propõe a analisar: o canalha. Nela, a trágica relação dialética entre sujeito e objeto, segundo Georg Simmel, e a problemática da divergência, em Robert Merton, fornecem o suporte teórico necessário para o viés sociológico aqui adotado. A abordagem mais detida sobre a tragédia carioca Otto Lara Resende ou Bonitinha, mas ordinária (1963), acaba por ganhar o estatuto de um autêntico estudo de caso, por situar em primeiro plano questões referentes ao problema ético. Ainda na segunda parte, uma distinção entre os projetos dramáticos rodrigueano e o da geração engajada que se distinguiu no Brasil a partir do final dos anos 1950, no que tange à caracterização de personagens que primam pela falta de escrúpulos, faz-se necessária para a compreensão da concepção de cada qual a respeito da índole do brasileiro médio, no que isto tem de revelador quanto às perspectivas assumidas com relação a nossa identidade nacional
