El BID y las políticas de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación en Argentina (1990-2015)
Authors: Francisco J. Aristimuño  , Manuel J. Lugones
Published: November 2019

Este trabajo da cuenta de cómo se estructuró, entre 1990 y 2015, la política de ciencia, tecnología e innovación en Argentina, y el papel que cumplió en ello el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), a través de los créditos otorgados en ese período. En este marco se analiza la creación de la Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica (ANPCyT), el rol significativo que tuvo el BID en su consolidación y cómo mediante sucesivos acuerdos con este organismo, la ANPCyT fue introduciendo cambios que generaron una oferta diversificada de instrumentos de financiamiento. Se discute el papel que sigue cumpliendo el BID en la financiación de los fondos para investigación y desarrollo en el país y se reflexiona sobre los alcances y limitaciones que presentan estas políticas.
Evaluation of the three-component model of organizational commitment in South Korea
Authors: Ahn Jungwon , Lee Soonmook
Published: November 2019

Allen and Meyer's(1990) 3-component model of organizational commitment(OC) was investigated using exploratory structural equation modeling(ESEM) with samples of full-time social workers at social welfare organizations in South Korea. Confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) has been at the heart of testing factor structure of the 3-component model in organizational commitment research wherein each scale of the affective, continuance, and normative commitment is reported to measure conceptually and empirically separable construct. The present study applied ESEM, specifically ‘intra-scale’ and ‘inter-scale’ ESEM, to scrutinize factor structure of the 3-component scales. ESEM methodology uses exploratory approach in that all cross-loadings are estimated between each measure and factors, with uniqueness correlated according to the researcher's hypotheses as in CFA. In this respect, ESEM can be viewed as an open approach to item analysis distinguished from the conventional (closed) approach, such as EFA and CFA. This study provided detailed assessment of the 3-component model through comparisons of factor structures estimated by EFA, CFA and ‘intra’ ESEM, followed by the ‘inter’ ESEM conducted on all other variables(assumed to be similar constructs with or antecedents of OC). As a result, the ‘intra-scale’ ESEM showed a substantially better fit and yielded more discriminated factors(less correlated) than did EFA and CFA that are models for planned scale. The ‘inter-scale’ ESEM revealed how seriously method effect can distort an original factor structure in empirical data measured together with multiple scales of other constructs. Using ESEM has advantages of estimating common factor structures, controlling for common method effect that are typically included in measures in applied research. Also, it allows for much more possibilities that each item can measure multiple constructs so as to reveal more realistic factor structures. Taken together, the present results suggest a need to conceptualize and validate a new scale for organizational commitment reflecting Korean culture.
ALLEVIATION OF ADVERSE EFFECTS OF SALT STRESS ON LETTUCE (Lactuca sativa var. crispa) BY APPLICATION OF VERMICOMPOST
Authors: Kiran Sevinç
Published: November 2019

In arid and semiarid regions, soil salinity causes salt stress in plants and affects crop production negatively. In this respect, organic farming practices are becoming the foreground as applications that are sensitive to the environment and support sustainability in agriculture. This study aimed to explain the role of vermicompost (VC) for reducing the effect of salt stress on lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa) plant. The experiments were performed with different concentrations of VC (0, 2.5 and 5% VC on a weight per weight basis of soil-w/w) and salt stress treatments (4 and 8 dS m–1 NaCl levels). Under salt stress, shoot heigth, relative,water content (RWC), stomatal conductance (gs), chlorophyll a (Chla) content decreased while electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activitys significantly increased in parallel with the severity of stress. In this study, VC under salt stress significantly increased RWC, gs and Chla, Chlt and carotenoid contents in the leaf tissues; however, MDA and EL contents decreased and SOD and CAT activities increased compared to controls. In all levels of NaCl, the 5% ratio of VC significantly reduced the negative effects of salinity.

Published: November 2019

The objective of this study was to evaluate peat and zeolite mixtures substrates performance on cucumber seedling quality and crop yield. The research was carried out in a greenhouse covered with double polymeric film at the Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. Cucumber seedlings were grown in different substrates: peat, peat + zeolite 1 : 1, peat + zeolite 2 : 1, peat + zeolite 3 : 1 and peat + zeolite 4 : 1. Cucumber seedlings grown in peat and zeolite substrates are shorter; the leaf area is smaller than that of the seedlings grown in peat alone. The dry mass of the aboveground part of these seedlings is lower (difference insignificant), however, the root mass is higher than those grown in peat alone. The addition of zeolite to peat substrate does not have any positive effect on the photosynthesis pigment content in cucumber seedling leaves. The physiological growth indices of the seedlings grown in peat-zeolite substrates were lower compared to those grown in peat. When zeolite is added to peat substrate, net assimilation rate is higher compared to those grown in peat. Higher yields (significant difference) were demonstrated by cucumbers, the seedlings of which had been grown in peat-zeolite substrates.

Published: November 2019

The effects of combined aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) treatments on quality attributes of ‘0900 Ziraat’ sweet cherry fruit during the cold storage and shelf life were investigated in this study. Significantly lower weight loss and decay ratios were observed in all treatments throughout the cold storage period as compared to the control. A similar case was also observed referring to the shelf life. MAP treatments were found to be more effective in retarding the weight loss and decay ratio. Higher hue angle values were measured from AVG-treated fruit at harvest. Similarly, hue angle of AVG and MAP-treated fruit were also higher than for the control in all periods of cold storage and on the 7th and 21st day of shelf life. AVG-treated fruit had higher firmness values than the control at harvest. However, higher firmness values were measured from MAP-treated fruit during the cold storage and shelf life. At the end of cold storage, lower SSC and higher titratable acidity values were observed in AVG and MAP-treated fruit than in the control. AVG + MAP treatments yielded significantly higher vitamin C, total phenolics and antioxidant activity values than the control. Contrarily, the control fruit had significantly higher total monomeric anthocyanin than the other treatments. Based on current findings, it was concluded that combined AVG + MAP treatments could be used as a beneficial tool to maintain the quality of sweet cherry fruit throughout the cold storage and shelf life.
ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGAL-ASSOCIATED BACTERIA AFFECT MYCORRHIZAL COLONIZATION, ESSENTIAL OIL AND PLANT GROWTH OF Murraya koenigii L.
Authors: Jangra Esha , Yadav Kuldeep , Aggarwal Ashok
Published: November 2019

Murraya koenigii L. (family: Rutaceae) commonly called as curry leaf is a highly valued plant for aroma and medicinal value. The two dominant AM species Glomus mosseae and Acaulospora laevis were isolated from the rhizospheric soil of M. koenigii. A pot experiment was performed to see the interactive potential of G. mosseae and A. laevis alone or in combination with Pseudomonas fluorescens on M. koenigii. Various morphological and biochemical parameters were measured after 120 days. Overall results suggest that although, all co-inoculation treatments showed beneficial effects on all the growth, physiological and oil content. The overall results demonstrate that the co-inoculation of bioinoculants like P. fluorescens with AM fungi promotes higher AM colonization and spore number enhancing nutrient acquisition especially phosphorus (P), improving the rhizospheric condition of soil.
Snickers and Sex
Authors: Moores Brandon Alexander
Published: November 2019

Marcus Valerius Martialis (c.40-104 CE) was one of the wittiest and dirtiest of the Latin poets.  Through eleven of his fourteen books of epigrams wit, poetic invention, and suggestive or, more often, explicit sexual situations come together in virtually every imaginable combination.  There are excruciatingly elaborate comparisons of anatomy to various daily and not-so-daily objects (“Lydia’s beaver is as loose as a horse’s rear, as a swift-spinning bronze hoop, as the wagon-wheel through which the acrobat leaps…they say that I fucked Lydia in a pool: I can’t be sure; I think I fucked the pool”  Book XI, 21), comic exaggerations (“As huge as your cock is, Papylus, your nose is just as long, so that you get a nasty snort of something whenever you get hard” Book VI, 36), and calumnies of every description (“Zoilus, you have fouled the water by washing your arse in it: the only way it could be worse is if you washed your head in it” Book II, 42). All of this makes Martial an ideal place to start when trying to work out the links between humour and sexuality.  What is it precisely about sexuality that makes it useful to Martial?  What does it have in common with other forms of humour?  Are there patterns to how Martial employs his bawdiness?This paper explores these questions through a careful examination of three of Martial’s poems.  In order of ascending bawdiness, they are: Book II, 52 (Novit loturos Dasius…), Book III, 26 (Praedia solus habes…), and Book XI, 21 (Lydia tam laxa est…).  I argue for an understanding of humour as the satisfaction of a pattern or expectation in an unusual or surprising manner.  Going through each poem in turn, I discuss the patterns or expectations Martial evokes in each and how they are satisfied.  Finally, I argue that bawdiness is often a source of humour because we have a large and vivid set of expectations when it comes to sexual matters – expectations which can be satisfied in all manner of unexpected ways.

Primates in Print: Popularizing Interspecies Kinship in Huxley's 'Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature'
Authors: Pasquini Robert
Published: November 2019

This paper examines the bibliographic features of Thomas H. Huxley’s 1863 work Evidence as to Man’s Place in Nature in order to focalize Huxley’s public engagement with non-professional audiences and consumerist market forces. Huxley’s shaping of Victorian scientific practices and his cultural contributions to natural history have been thoroughly documented, yet the hermeneutic potential of the popular work’s bibliographic and visual elements has not been adequately addressed. When amalgamated through a re-conceived process of reading, the textual and visual features of Evidence materialize the evidence of evolutionary processes to which humans themselves are subject to. After confronting humans and primates in print, Huxley’s audience understood that the socio-cultural barriers to the dismantling of animal/human dichotomies imposed by humanist ideology were made available to rational critique. Because of its wide-ranging success as a catalyst of public—not just professional—acknowledgment of evolution, I contend that Evidence’s physical and visual features should not be overlooked as major contributing factors in the dissemination and acceptance of natural explanation. This research engages with pressing questions concerning the interclass popularization of Victorian science: how did tactile decisions about the object fashion its own reception? Can evolution be presented via visual rather than purely conceptual means? How immersed was Huxley’s product in burgeoning capitalistic forces? Ultimately, understanding Evidence’s status as a marketable visual product sheds light on how Victorians (professional and colloquial subjects alike) propagated, absorbed, and contemplated the ramifications of evolution.
"I wanna die just like JFK / I wanna die in the USA": Libra and DeLillo’s Curation of the Kennedy Archive
Authors: D'Agostino Mario A.
Published: November 2019

Don DeLillo reimagines and revisions the Kennedy assassination in Libra.  Nicholas Branch, a retired senior analyst for the CIA, has been hired on contract to write a definitive account of the events at Dealey Plaza on November 22nd, 1963.  In the process, Branch subsumes the role of the museum curator; he meticulously combs through the received records in order to challenge accepted versions of “history”.  As the novel’s character-as-curator, Branch examines, positions, interprets, and displays the artifacts at hand to outline the numerous plots swirling around the assassination.  This paper will demonstrate how DeLillo, through Branch, reimagines the space of the novel, transforming it into a museum display that challenges the Warren Commission’s “Single-Bullet Theory” and its “Lone-Gunman Theory”, to instead suggest the possible presence of multiple shooters.  As the novel’s character-as-curator, Branch meticulously places the objects on display and leaves it to the reader to decide which view to adopt or accept.
Beyond the Entwurf: (A Preliminary) Project for a Scientific Death Drive
Authors: Chernoff MLA
Published: November 2019

This paper explores the conceptual thresholds of psychoanalysis as they have been laid out over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries, specifically focusing on the tensions between Sigmund Freud and two of his many heirs, viz., Jean Laplanche and Jacques Lacan. First, I extricate Freud's visionary text, Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), from Laplanche's condemnation of the text as either whimsically metaphyical or simply a return to Freudian seduction theory. I argue that neither categorization has the capacity to contain the argumentative force of Beyond. Second, by attending to Lacan's theorizations of the philosophy of science apropos of psychoanalysis, I speculate on the possibility of a psychoanalytic future, one that incorporates scientific rigour into its theories practices. By accounting for the materiality of the death drive (through Timothy Morton's object-oriented interpretation of molecular processes), I show how the death drive was never necessarily metaphorical and thereby acts as an discourse-altering facet of psychoanalysis in a way that neither Laplanche nor Lacan could have anticipated.
Betwixt and Between: How Male and Female Audiences Engaged with the "Magnetic Girl" to Complicate Fin-de-Siècle Gender Roles
Authors: Lowry Elizabeth
Published: November 2019

Lulu Hurst was a young Gilded Age-era performer known for her demonstrations of uncanny physical strength. For the most part, Hurst’s performance involved challenging an audience member to wrest objects from her grasp. For a member of Hurst's predominantly male audience, matching her strength to his own was a means by which to prove his masculinity to his peers. The notion of masculinity being on trial was particularly significant in the late nineteenth century--a time when women were beginning to gain social power.  Elaine Showalter famously describes this period as being characterized by a "battle within the sexes" as well as between them (9). As such, I argue that Hurst’s “demonstrations of strength” are best understood within the context of what Marvin Carlson terms "resistant performance"--that is, a performance that subverts the status quo by exposing its underlying assumptions. Drawing on Victor Turner’s work on ritual and liminality, I argue that when the individual male agent separates himself from his peers in order to challenge Hurst, his gender identity temporarily becomes destabilized. However, while Hurst may have disrupted the status quo by troubling gender binaries, her performance also served to reify existing social hierarchies. This paradox is both a marker of resistant performance and of social change. For the postmodern reader, Hurst's performance is significant in that her demonstrations reveal the implications of resistant performance during a unique period of cultural transition in which gender identity was called into question.
Shattered Masculinity and Violence in Walker Percy's Lancelot: Apocalypse Now
Authors: Willis Rachel
Published: November 2019

Although it is not one of Walker Percy’s most popular novel, Lancelot is certainly one of his most complicated. Critics like Vaulthier and Hebert have discussed the masculinity of protagonist Lancelot Lamar in depth, building on theories linking Lamar’s shattered masculinity with male homosocial behavior, particularly homosocial relationships between Lamar and Merlin and Lamar and Percival. Critical discussions leave out, however, an exploration of the violence that pervades the entire text. This is problematic because Lamar’s dissatisfaction with the homosocial roles in the triangulated relationships created by his wife’s affair is what sparks his obsession with violence as a cleansing act. His wife’s lover is not manly enough for Lamar, shattering Lamar’s sense of masculinity and enraging him. As the narrative progresses, it becomes filled with his vision for the future—a world brought on by apocalypse where the women are sexually pure and the men are “pure in heart.” Lamar clearly regards violence as the only way to restore the patriarchal order that his experience of triangulated relationships has thwarted.
Picking Up the Pieces: Embodied Theory in Bessie Head’s A Question of Power
Authors: Rooks Elinor
Published: November 2019

This article approaches Bessie Head's nove A Question of Power as a work of vernacular theory engaged with the interactions between power, identity, goodness and suffering. The text's difficulties are seen, first, as characterstics of embattled theory, in which there is no possibility of safe remove or calm reflection. Further, these difficulties are read as tactical, engaging the text and its reader in a form of madness which destablizes the realities formed by power. A fundamental tenent of Head's theory, 'be ordinary', is interrogated: how can ordinariness be disentangled from conformity? Being ordinary may be understood as becoming everyone--a process through which Elizabeth's identity is shattered. Schizophrenic breakdown becomes, then, a position from which Elizabeth can theorise the repressive operations of identity and the intimate functionings of power.
Unlovely Seeds: Human/Nature/Wilderness in Isabella Valancy Crawford’s Winona; or, The Foster-Sisters
Authors: Jackson-Harper Renée Suzanne
Published: November 2019

In 1872, Isabella Valancy Crawford answered a call printed in George-Édouard Desbarats’s weekly story paper the Hearthstone seeking: “narratives, novels, sketches penned by vigorous Canadian hands, welling out from fresh and fertile Canadian brains, thrilling with the adventures by sea and land, of Canadian heroes” (Early and Peterman 25). Crawford’s winning submission to the Hearthstone's call, Winona; or, The Foster-Sisters, reaps the materials for its narrative from “inexhaustible fields” of both “fact and fancy” of a burgeoning Canadian national imagination (25). This paper is interested in exploring the specifically Canadian anxieties expressed by the novel, as this paper examines the manner in which the displaced occupants of the novel’s Howard lodge act as uncanny avatars of the natural world and of a wilderness as they resist (or, are denied) a place in the domestic space established by the “national family” (167).  In this paper, I argue that Crawford’s Winona, with its attention to both domestic and natural spaces, provides a productive site through which to interrogate the vexed relationship of a newly Confederated country with its own “native materials” (Johnson 7; Early and Peterman 10).
Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping: Sylvie’s Fundamental Mentorship through New Western Historicism and Ecofeminist Criticism
Authors: Zastrow Amanda
Published: November 2019

In the novel Housekeeping, Marilynne Robinson discusses main character, Sylvie’s, relationship with nature in a way that revises what many New Western historians view as the Old West’s destructive ideology toward nature. Sylvie lives in opposition to what is seen as the aggressive mannerisms of Old Western males, individuals who have attempted to conquer both women and nature through their disregard for the female histories of the Old West as well as through their degradation of the faultless Western land. An effort that brings together both of these ideas, a concept that connects the maltreatment of women as well as of nature throughout history, ecofeminist philosophies are, in turn, relevant to a discussion of Robinson’s Sylvie and her New Western principles. Both viewpoints express a historical overlap of women and nature; therefore, Sylvie’s actions, which contradict the conquering mentalities of the Old West, also align with fundamental ecofeminist principles. Her actions throughout the novel possess an understanding and admiration of nature’s character as well as a voice that disagrees with the mistreatment that it receives.

The quality of antimicrobial prescribing in acute care hospitals: results derived from a national point prevalence survey, Germany, 2016
Authors: Aghdassi Seven Johannes Sam , Schwab Frank , Hansen Sonja , Peña Diaz Luis Alberto , Behnke Michael , Gastmeier Petra , Kramer Tobias Siegfried
Published: November 2019

Background

Robust data on the quality of antimicrobial prescriptions in German acute care hospitals are scarce. To establish and implement antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) measures and to increase prudent antimicrobial use (AMU), the identification of appropriate process and quality indicators is pertinent.

Aim

Our main objective was to identify parameters associated with adequate AMU and inadequate AMU by analysing point prevalence data. Our secondary goal was to describe the current state of AMS implementation in Germany.

Methods

A national point prevalence survey for healthcare-associated infections and AMU was conducted in German hospitals in 2016. Data on structure and process parameters were also collected. Recorded antimicrobial prescriptions were divided into adequate, inadequate and undefinable AMU. A multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to examine the correlation of selected structure and process parameters with the adequacy of recorded antimicrobials.

Results

Data from 218 acute care hospitals, 64,412 patients and 22,086 administered antimicrobials were included. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that documentation of a reason for AMU in the patient notes increased the likelihood of adequate AMU and decreased the likelihood of inadequate AMU significantly (p < 0.001), while tertiary care hospital type had the opposite effect (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Through associating structural and process parameters with adequacy of AMU, we identified parameters that increased the odds of prudent AMU. Documentation was a key element for improving AMU. Revealed deficits regarding the implementation of AMS in German hospitals concerning dedicated staff for AMS activities and establishment of regular AMU training and AMU audits should be tackled.

The development of information technology nowadays impact on rapid economic growth. It makes entrepreneurs have to upgrade their businesses thus they can compete both nationally and internationally. This condition also encourages entrepreneurs both in the manufacturing sector and especially culinary services to be able to capture a wider market share. One marketing strategy that can be used to reach consumers more broadly is through electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), to convey or inform, offer, and remind about its products. No less important is the attention of culinary entrepreneurs to pay attention to the quality of their products (food quality). The aim of this study is to find out how e-WOM and food quality capabilities influence consumer purchasing decisions at Mie Merapi in Bandung. The research method used is descriptive and quantitative methods. While the sampling method with accidental random sampling technique. The analytical tool used is multiple regression. The results showed thate-WOM was able to positively influence consumer purchasing decisions but was not significant, because e-WOM conducted by Mie Merapi was less attractive, because culinary noodles were an ordinary culinary.Food quality able to provide a positive significant influence on consumer purchasing decisions at Mie Merapi in Bandung, because consumers are more convinced about the product needed is quality. This research suggests Mie Merapi to inform and offer products through consumers testimonials that have made direct purchases, because user reference is a valuable experience and as a consideration in purchasing products. In order for this user reference to be disseminated more widely, it can be used to invite meals directly to the place by giving gifts. For example, free noodle for first five customers.

Almost every year in Kazakhstan, cases of diseases of animals and people with anthrax are recorded. The incidence rate of people with anthrax in the period from 2000 to 2018 ranged from 0.01 to 0.24 per 100 thousand people. In the territory of the East Kazakhstan region, the incidence rate is higher than in the republic.Objective: a retrospective analysis of anthrax outbreaks in the East Kazakhstan region from 2000 to 2018.Methods: a retrospective analysis using statistical, cadastral data, archival funds, the results of participation in the investigation of outbreaks of infection.Results. Since 1938, cases of animal and human disease of anthrax have been recorded in East Kazakhstan. Infection of humans occurs during the slaughter of animals. In Zharma, Urjar, and Ayagozskiy areas most of all are anthrax foci of soil. In 67 % of cases, outbreaks of anthrax were recorded in these areas.Conclusion. The relative incidence rate of anthrax in people in East Kazakhstan is from 0.07 to 0.27, since 2001 it is higher than the republican indicator.In the East Kazakhstan region from 1997 to 2018, 37 people fell ill with anthrax. The form of the disease is skin, in 8.1 % secondary sepsis. In the remaining patients, the diseases were mild (70.3 %), ended in recovery. The source of human infection is mainly cattle. The isolated strains of B. anthracis have typical properties, they are included in cluster A1a, A3b (MLVA-8). The strains isolated in 2016 are similar to the strains isolated in the Almaty region (MLVA-25). Grouped with a number of European, Asian and African strains from France, Germany, Italy, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Korea and Namibia. The presence of a significant number of soil foci of anthrax in the territory of the East Kazakhstan region, not fully the implementation of veterinary and sanitary preventive measures leads to an exacerbation of the situation for anthrax.

Revealed by morphological characters, physiological status, and genetic diversity of populations of the main plague host Rhombomys opimus Licht., 1823 in Central Asia desert natural focus is described.Differences in the skull parameters of R. opimus from different populations were revealed. It’s shown that gerbils from Moyunkum are separate autonomous populations group. Samples from Moyunkum and Mangyshlak differed from other samples. In Balkhash-Alakol depression found two regional complexes: Pre-Balkhash and Dzungarian.Study results of free amino acids level in R. opimus blood serum obtained by gas-liquid chromatography of blood sera from animals captured in different zones of Central Asian focus gave statistically significant differences. To determine genetic variability in ecological and geographical isolation of R. opimus populations the DNA was genotyped.DNA samples analysis combined the studied gerbil from the desert focus into four clusters with eighteen haplotypes. R. opimus sequence analysis taking into account data from territories of Iran, Kazakhstan and China, clustered into three large clusters. First cluster combined the sequences of Kazakhstan and China samples, while great gerbil captured in Kazakhstan is located in a separate treasure. Second and third clusters include sequences of a great gerbil captured in Iran.

Published: November 2019

В статье предпринята попытка оценки влияния выполнения национальных проектов на динамику макроэкономических и отраслевых показателей экономики России в 2019–2024 г. Прогнозные расчеты выполнены на основе динамической межотраслевой модели (ДММ). Информационной базой для нее послужила информация Правительства РФ о национальных проектах и данные таблиц «Затраты – Выпуск» за 2015 г. В предположениях прогноза и задаваемых экзогенных показателях нашли отражение основные параметры реализуемых нацпроектов. Использование ДММ позволило оценить динамический мультипликативный эффект от связанных с ними дополнительных расходов для внутреннего валового продукта России (ежегодный и за весь период в целом), показать влияние этих проектов на отраслевую структуру производства. Показано, что реализация национальных проектов позволит ускорить экономический рост в России.

Published: November 2019

Estudos sobre mudanças nas propriedades do solo decorrentes das atividades de mineração são importantes para a compreensão e desenvolvimento de novas formas de manejo do solo e recuperação de áreas degradadas. Este trabalho visou determinar as possíveis alterações nos teores de matéria orgânica e nos índices de agregação do solo geradas pela mineração de bauxita em Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais. Aplicou-se delineamento experimental com três blocos casualizados, dois tratamentos (antes da intervenção minerária e depois da recuperação ambiental) e quatro repetições. Foram determinados os teores de matéria orgânica e calculados os valores de diâmetro médio ponderado (DMP), o diâmetro médio geométrico (DMG), macro e microagregados a partir da porcentagem de solo retida em cada peneira no tamisamento dos agregados. Houve redução da estabilidade de agregados em água após a intervenção minerária, indicando que tais atividades geram impactos negativos sobre sua estrutura física. Os altos valores de DMP e DMG podem ser atribuídos ao material de origem dos solos da região. Não foram verificadas diferenças significativas para os teores de matéria orgânica nas camadas avaliadas antes da mineração e depois da recuperação, indicando que os processos de recuperação da área minerada propiciaram manutenção dos teores de matéria orgânica do solo.

Published: November 2019

Bureaucratic reform is an effort to reform and change fundamentally in a system of governance that involves institutional aspects (organization), management (business process) and human resources apparatus to realize good governance. In Law No. 5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus where has a function as the executor of public policy and public servants. The lack of civil servants within the Bantul Regency Government, such as teachers, health workers and technical personnel, are caused by the presence of retired employees and the enactment of the civil servants candidate (CPNS) moratorium policy which causes the workload (ABK) figures of an organization and employees to be heavier than before which can affect public service quality. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the performance of civil servants in the Education, Youth and Sports department was very good, besides that the arrangement of work plans was also in accordance with the standards of the organization. However, there are some obstacles, especially in the timeliness of completing assignments, and the ideas or initiatives of civil servants in delivering ideas are still lacking. Meanwhile, the factors that influence civil servants performance in carrying out their tasks are lack of human resources, the presence of seniority and the lack of awareness of ASN about the importance of implementing education and training.

Death to the Cobb-Douglas Production Function? A Meta-Analysis of the Capital-Labor Substitution Elasticity
Authors: Havranek Tomas , Irsova Zuzana , Gechert Sebastian , Kolcunova Dominika
Published: November 2019

We show that the large elasticity of substitution between capital and labor estimated in the literature on average, 0.9, can be explained by three factors: publication bias, use of aggregated data, and omission of the first-order condition for capital. The mean elasticity conditional on the absence of publication bias, disaggregated data, and inclusion of information from the first-order condition for capital is 0.3. To obtain this result, we collect 3,186 estimates of the elasticity reported in 121 studies, codify 71 variables that reflect the context in which researchers produce their estimates, and address model uncertainty by Bayesian and frequentist model averaging. We employ nonlinear techniques to correct for publication bias, which is responsible for at least half of the overall reduction in the mean elasticity from 0.9 to 0.3. Our findings also suggest that a failure to normalize the production function leads to a substantial upward bias in the estimated elasticity. The weight of evidence accumulated in the empirical literature emphatically rejects the Cobb-Douglas specification.
