Similar results were obtained using monthly and annual fixed effects with and without a time trend as well as including all variables from both columns 3 and 4. In column 5 of table 2.2, I exclude two outliers: the pairs involving Juba, South Sudan and Hargeisa, Somaliland, which have the highest and most volatile prices…

The CEEC government can affect the pace of enterprise restructuring through expenditures on targeted credit subsidies. The success of a set of accession policies will be driven largely by the interaction between those policies and the process by which landowners shift their holdings between large and small enterprises, and undertake costly investments to improve efficiency.…

Despite the asymmetry in resources between Embrapa and the local institutes, their Brazilian counterparts did, for the most part, understand that. The situation found in the local institutes was not entirely unfamiliar to them; even back in Brazil, some would declare to have already shared many such frustrations: corn ears get stolen from the parcel,…

This hybrid, socio-technical character is a sensibility that is by now common sensical in science and technology studies. But it seems to be also present in the emic notion of experimental controls itself: much as in common notions of political control as one’s capacity to influence the behavior of others, what experimental controls do is precisely…

The team on the Brazilian side underwent some changes after this initial period, as the first coordinator left and new Embrapa researchers joined the project team in Brazil while others dropped it. Still in 2009, the project hired a coordinator to stay in Bamako on a more permanent basis. He was recruited from within Embrapa’s…

Concerns shown by many of Brazil’s partners with respect to large-scale agricultural schemes, for instance, regarded the likelihood of massive migration to the cities, which would pose an unbearable burden to already fragile urban infrastructures.Although these issues did not come up frequently as questions during the trainings, they were occasionally remarked in informal situations by…

These and other fieldwork interactions indicate that it would be an overstatement to talk about the consolidation of a new discourse on Africa in Brazil’s diplomatic and policy making circles. Different views on Africa coexist today, and, as all discourse in a Foucauldian sense, they will turn out to be right or wrong on account not…

Although there are no other published studies on exposure specifically to  CM alone, our data can be compared to previous studies of both non-occupational and occupational exposures to several pyrethroids. In comparing the urinary concentrations of the non-specific pyrethroid metabolite, 3-PBA, the Egyptian agriculture applicator’s peak urinary levels are about 50 times greater than the levels…

The contrast between Northern development and Southern cooperation does not fixate the terms according to which such relations unfold, but is itself a stake in this global battleground. Even though the self representations of South-South cooperation draw heavily on oppositional claims vis-à-vis Northern development aid, they cannot avoid unfolding in the ambit of the global apparatus…

The first district model addresses the property-enfranchised, assessed-value governance rules that guide most “California water districts.” Board members in these districts respond to political influence based on the assessed-value held by an elector in the district. The second model uses the universal-franchise, popular-vote governance rules that generally direct “irrigation districts.” Board members receive direct political…
