A partir de considerações sobre a possibilidade, a especificidade e a produtividade de uma abordagem discursiva das relações entre sons e sentidos, o trabalho refl ete, inicialmente, sobre algumas funções da voz na constituição de efeitos de sentido no discurso político eleitoral brasileiro. Mais especificamente, são analisadas sequências discursivas extraídas do Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral (HGPE das eleições presidenciais de 2002, por meio da descrição e interpretação de certos usos e efeitos dos segmentos, suprassegmentos e elementos prosódicos empregados em determinadas passagens de programas dos então candidatos, Lula e José Serra. Após essas análises, o estudo encerra-se com uma reflexão sobre um traço antropológico inscrito na voz humana, que congrega a razão e a sedução em suas modulações e com uma hipótese sobre uma espécie de nostalgia da voz ante a emergência de determinadas tecnologias de linguagem que supostamente a ameaçam. As refl exões e análises aqui desenvolvidas fundamentam-se na Análise do discurso, derivada dos trabalhos de Michel Pêcheux e seu grupo.

Full Text Available O debate sobre os fatores intervenientes no processo eleitoral tem-se polarizado entre duas perspectivas: a sociológica e a psicológica. Situando a escolha eleitoral num processo dialético, Camino, Torres e Da Costa (1995 organizaram os fatores que influenciam no voto utilizando duas dimensões independentes. A primeira, constituída pelas duas vertentes do processo de construção da realidade política: as alternativas políticas concretas e o ato individual de escolha. A segunda constituída por três níveis de análise: o observacional, o mediacional e o metateórico. Esta sistematização guiou um conjunto de pesquisas eleitorais com estudantes realizadas por Camino e colaboradores (1995. Os resultados permitiram elaborar um Modelo Psicossociológico, no qual pressupõe-se que a Escolha Eleitoral é um processo que se estabelece desde a inserção do indivíduo nas organizações da sociedade até o momento de depositar seu voto na urna. O modelo localiza etapas do processo e as relaciona com a escolha eleitoral. Este trabalho apresenta uma pesquisa cujos resultados confirmam as principais relações propostas no "Modelo Psicossociológico". Observa-se que os eleitores com participação social são os que mais acreditam na eficácia das atividades eleitorais. Constata-se também que as diversas formas de participação social modelam visões próprias no que concerne à estrutura social. A visão da estrutura social, enquanto matriz ideológica, influencia também a escolha eleitoral. Os dados mostraram ainda que existe uma relação estreita entre a ideologia do partido de simpatia e o tipo de representação da estrutura social. Finalmente, discutem-se as perspectivas que o modelo abre no estudo do comportamento eleitoral.The discussion of the intervening factors in the electoral process has polarized into two perspectives: the sociological and the psychological.

Drug company advertising in medical journals about the health-economic advantages of their products for 2000-2006 versus 1990-1999.

Section 114 of the 1997 Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) effective February 19, 1998, permitted some additional flexibility for drug companies to provide "health care economic information" to "a formulary committee or other similar entity" and may have caused a decline in economic messages used in print advertisements in medical journals. We previously investigated the promotional claims made by pharmaceutical companies about the economic advantages of their prescription products in print advertisements in 6 leading medical journals from 1990-1999. To examine the hypotheses that (1) economic promotion in journals declined after the effective date of Section 114 of the FDAMA, and (2) increased calls for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scrutiny of health-economic information was associated with an increase in the reporting of supporting information for economic advertisements in 2000- 2006 compared with the 1990s. Two researchers independently reviewed all pharmaceutical print advertisements in 3 issues each year of 3 general medical and 3 specialty journals (totaling 18 issues each year) from 2000 through 2006. The type of economic claim (e.g., advertisements using the words "price," "costs less," "value") as well as the presence of supporting information for an advertisement's claims (e.g., published studies) were tabulated using a standardized data collection form. The research method was similar to that used in previous research of economic claims in advertisements in the same 6 medical journals from 1990-1999, and we compared the results from previous research for 1990-1999 with the new findings for 2000-2006. The list of health economic terms was expanded in the 2000-2006 research to include "less hospitalization"/"less treatment," "formulary"/"coverage," "co-pay"/"cost-sharing," and "in community longer." Our results are derived from 2,144 pharmaceutical advertisements from the 10-year period 1990-1999 and 1,372 from the 7-year

After a gradual decline from 1990 to 2004, the percentage of births occurring at home in the United States increased by 5 percent in 2005 and that increase was sustained in 2006. The purpose of the study was to analyze trends and characteristics in home births in United States by race and ethnicity from 1990 to 2006. U.S. birth certificate data on home births were analyzed and compared with hospital births for a variety of demographic and medical characteristics. From 1990 to 2006, both the number and percentage of home births increased for non-Hispanic white women, but declined for all other race and ethnic groups. In 2006, non-Hispanic white women were three to four times more likely to have a home birth than women of other race and ethnic groups. Home births were more likely than hospital births to occur to older, married women with singleton pregnancies and several previous children. For non-Hispanic white women, fewer home births than hospital births were born preterm, whereas for other race and ethnic groups a higher percentage of home births than hospital births were born preterm. For non-Hispanic white women, two-thirds of home births were delivered by midwives. In contrast, for other race and ethnic groups, most home births were delivered by either physicians or "other" attendants, suggesting that a higher proportion of these births may be unplanned home births because of emergency situations. Differences in the risk profile of home births by race and ethnicity are consistent with previous research, suggesting that, compared with non-Hispanic white women, a larger proportion of non-Hispanic black and Hispanic home births represent unplanned, emergency situations. © 2010, Copyright the Authors.

Full Text Available Este artigo tem como proposta analisar o papel dos sentimentos na estruturação das escolhas eleitorais durante a eleição presidencial brasileira de 2006. Especificamente, analisa de que forma as emoções dos eleitores em relação aos candidatos afetam e estimulam a avaliação e o voto nos mesmos. Primeiramente, buscamos demonstrar formas de mensuração das emoções em termos quantitativos através de surveys realizados durante o período eleitoral. Em segundo lugar, buscamos evidenciar que a avaliação retrospectiva pode ser mais bem entendida se compreendermos como a avaliação de governo interage com os estados emocionais dos eleitores. Destarte, negando a longa tradição que contrapõe razão e emoção dentro da política, salientamos a tese de que os sentimentos constituem uma importante variável no processamento de informações e, consequentemente, na decisão do voto.This article to analyzes the role of emotion in the electoral choices during the 2006 Brazilian presidential election. Specifically, it analyzes in which way the emotions of the voters in relation to the candidates affect and stimulates the evaluation and the vote for them. In the first place, we demonstrate forms of measuring emotions in quantitative terms through surveys conducted during the electoral period. Second, we demonstrate that the retrospective evaluation government's can better be understood if we comprehend in which way the government's evaluation interacts with emotional states of the voters. Thus, denying the long tradition that opposes reason and emotion in politics, we point out the thesis that feelings constitute an important variable in the information processing and, consequently, in the vote decision.

Household consumption, associated fossil fuel demand and carbon dioxide emissions: The case of Greece between 1990 and 2006

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Papathanasopoulou, Eleni

2010-01-01

This paper explores how Greece's household consumption has changed between 1990 and 2006 and its environmental implications in terms of fossil fuel demand and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. The results show that the 44% increase in Greece's household expenditure between 1990 and 2006 was accompanied by a 67% increase in fossil fuel demand. Of this total, indirect demand accounted for approximately 60% throughout the 16-year period, increasing by 56% overall, whereas direct fossil fuel demand grew by 80%. The results also show that associated CO 2 emissions increased by 60%, resulting in a 'relative decoupling' from energy demand. This relative decoupling is shown to be due to fossil fuel mix changes from the supply side rather than action from consumers. These insights highlight the opportunities for demand-side policies to further reduce fossil fuel demand and CO 2 emissions, allowing Greece to set more proactive and ambitious post-Kyoto targets.

Full Text Available O objetivo deste artigo é estudar o papel desempenhado pelo marketing político-eleitoral na construção da visibilidade e da imagem pública de um ator político no âmbito da disputa eleitoral. Argumentamos que a construção da imagem de homens públicos requer a organização de estratégias comunicativas capazes não só de administrar, gerenciar e controlar mensagens, mas, sobretudo, de estabelecer relações entre os políticos e os diferentes públicos responsáveis pela formação da opinião pública. Interessa-nos mostrar como, no âmbito da política de imagem, o planejamento das estratégias de uma campanha politico-eleitoral depende tanto do trabalho coordenado entre os profissionais do marketing, quanto da habilidade dos politicos em contornar discordâncias partidárias. De modo a revelar como imagens políticas difundidas pelo jornalismo impresso podem amplificar tais discordâncias, conferindo descrédito e desconfiança à imagem pública de um candidato, investigamos a crise que marcou a campanha de Geraldo Alckmin para a prefeitura de São Paulo, em 2008.

Trends and characteristics of home and other out-of-hospital births in the United States, 1990-2006.

MacDorman, Marian F; Menacker, Fay; Declercq, Eugene

2010-03-03

This report examines trends and characteristics of out-of-hospital and home births in the United States. Descriptive tabulations of data are presented and interpreted. In 2006, there were 38,568 out-of-hospital births in the United States, including 24,970 home births and 10,781 births occurring in a freestanding birthing center. After a gradual decline from 1990 to 2004, the percentage of out-of-hospital births increased by 3% from 0.87% in 2004 to 0.90% in 2005 and 2006. A similar pattern was found for home births. After a gradual decline from 1990 to 2004, the percentage of home births increased by 5% to 0.59% in 2005 and remained steady in 2006. Compared with the U.S. average, home birth rates were higher for non-Hispanic white women, married women, women aged 25 and over, and women with several previous children. Home births were less likely than hospital births to be preterm, low birthweight, or multiple deliveries. The percentage of home births was 74% higher in rural counties of less than 100,000 population than in counties with a population size of 100,000 or more. The percentage of home births also varied widely by state; in Vermont and Montana more than 2% of births in 2005-2006 were home births, compared with less than 0.2% in Louisiana and Nebraska. About 61% of home births were delivered by midwives. Among midwife-delivered home births, one-fourth (27%) were delivered by certified nurse midwives, and nearly three-fourths (73%) were delivered by other midwives. Women may choose home birth for a variety of reasons, including a desire for a low-intervention birth in a familiar environment surrounded by family and friends and cultural or religious concerns. Lack of transportation in rural areas and cost factors may also play a role.

Full Text Available Resumo Este artigo tem por objeto as despesas em campanhas eleitorais. Especificamente propõe: a produzir um mapeamento dos gastos eleitorais da eleição de 2010 efetuados por candidatos a deputado federal; b identificar padrões de gastos existentes; c identificar a existência de correlação estatística importante entre diferentes padrões de gastos eleitorais e resultado eleitoral nas urnas. As questões que orientam o artigo são as seguintes: a A forma como os atores utilizam seus recursos expressam as particularidades dos competidores? b Determinados gastos de campanha possuem maior impacto no sucesso eleitoral do que outros? Para fins de mapeamento das despesas eleitorais elaborou-se uma classificação que busca apreender os gastos eleitorais em três grandes categorias: 1 gastos com “publicidade”; 2 gastos com “infraestrutura” de campanha; e 3 gastos com “pessoal”. Os principais achados residem na percepção de que somente o volume de dinheiro não basta para explicar o sucesso eleitoral. Os modelos demonstram que o padrão de gasto precisa ser concentrado e que as maiores despesas devem ser destinadas para "comunicação e publicidade". Além disso, candidatos que disputam eleições em partidos mais organizados e com um grau de coordenação mais centralizado estão em melhores condições do que seus concorrentes que não compartilham dessa situação, conforme hipótese originalmente apresentada por Guarnieri (2011.

Full Text Available Resumo: No Rio de Janeiro, o planejamento urbano e o direito à cidade vêm sofrendo contundentes interferências do modelo neoliberal, colocando em conflito os interesses de quem habita o território e os das grandes corporações do capital financeiro. Tais interferências agravam problemas já conhecidos dos cariocas, como negação de direitos básicos, criminalização da pobreza e aumento do custo de vida. No presente texto, trabalhou-se com a ideia de cidade não como palco de uma disputa sócio-histórica de classes ou como objeto dessa disputa, mas como o emergir da própria disputa. Interessa-nos analisar e discutir os efeitos desse confronto, além de elaborar formas de resistência e de superação das desigualdades que marcam a experiência humana na realidade social brasileira. Nesse cenário, faz-se necessária a construção de outro modo de fazer Psicologia, comprometido em reunir elementos de ação capazes de intervir na realidade que vem sendo imposta a partir da perspectiva de cidade-negócio. Uma Psicologia que tenha a luta e participação política como metas para uma experiência democrática de sociedade, consolidando dessa forma o compromisso social como norteador da profissão.

Não se pode, ainda, responder se as recusas das estratégias do candidato-eleito de jogar o jogo da enunciação televisiva significam as possibilidades de a política se fazer pública, escapando a certas operações do trabalho de sentido das mídias. De qualquer forma, porém, indicam pistas valiosíssimas sobre a incompletude das "políticas de sentido" das mídias. Apesar delas, a política se faz pública e, na mídia, em meio às várias interdiscursividades, dá-se, por uma ampla complexidade de signos, o modo de ser diverso dos diferentes campos sociais.

Hasta la fecha, el ODR siempre se ha relegado a los casos en los que las vías tradicionales resultan ineficaces o no están disponibles. Este artículo examina el uso potencial del ODR incluso cuando exista la posibilidad de usar la vía tradicional para la resolución de conflictos. En particular, en este trabajo se destaca la contribución cualitativa que puede tener el ODR. Incluso en los casos en que no se emplee el ODR como medio para resolver el conflicto, puede servir de inspiración para introducir cambios en el diseño de los medios tradicionales de resolución de disputas. Estas vías tradicionales se han visto afectadas por una falta de responsabilidad, por lo que han tendido a adoptar unos formatos rígidos que impiden el aprendizaje y la mejora. El ODR, gracias sobre todo a la grabación automática de un gran volumen de datos en la comunicación de resoluciones en formato digital, tienen el potencial de mejorar tanto la responsabilidad como el aprendizaje. Este informe examina estas cualidades y sugiere algunas maneras mediante las cuales los mecanismos tradicionales de resolución de disputas podrían corregir viejos hábitos y prácticas arraigadas para reforzar su responsabilidad e impulsar el aprendizaje siguiendo el espíritu del ODR.

Full Text Available Época de festejo y conmemoraciones, el año 2010 ha sido el momento de la celebración de las independencias en Iberoamérica. "200 años de vida independiente" fueron celebrados a través de una liturgia del pasado y un ritual de la conmemoración. Con ello, el teatro de la memoria nacional actualizaba una estrategia de control social empleada por la Iglesia católica durante siglos: su control sobre el tiempo y el espacio. De este modo, particularmente en México, calendarios y geografías fueron campos de batalla entre el Estado y la Iglesia, pero sobre todo entre aquel y los grupos y movimientos sociales, que al posicionarse frente a las fiestas estatales y a través de estrategias distintas, replantearon la cultura del nacionalismo. Una disputa por la memoria y el pasado, que fue también una disputa por el presente y el futuro alternativos.

Full Text Available Um dos principais temas da teoria democrática é o processo por meio do qual os cidadãos controlam a atividade de seus representantes. Neste artigo, analisam-se o sistema político brasileiro em termos gerais e as eleições de 1998 e 2006 em particular, com o objetivo de discutir se o processo de accountability vertical nos interstícios eleitorais torna os cidadãos capazes de punir ou recompensar seus representantes na eleição seguinte. A importância deste artigo está na análise dos efeitos do envolvimento de políticos nos escândalos do Mensalão e dos Sanguessugas, que abalaram a sociedade brasileira nos dois anos que precederam a eleição de 2006. Apesar dos custos de informação, dos baixos interesse e envolvimento político, da desigualdade social e pobreza característicos da sociedade brasileira, os eleitores foram capazes de punir grande parte dos políticos denunciados nos escândalos.

Diferentemente da ideia de que falar de política é um assunto delicado e perigoso, pois corre-se o risco dos alunos entenderem o trabalho como uma forma de doutrinação ou propaganda partidária, o que se buscou com essa atividade foi esclarecer algumas questões sobre a questão do voto e das eleições, e, consequentemente, da democracia no país. Ocorreu a apresentação para os estudantes da evolução da política nacional, desde a vinda da Família Real Portuguesa até o momento presente, passando pela Política dos Coronéis, criação da Justiça Eleitoral, voto feminino, Diretas Já e, outros importantes fatos relacionados ao tema. Para que o assunto e os debates não acabem na sala-de-aula, buscou-se a participação da família, com a distribuição de um questionário contendo onze perguntas. Este questionário serviu de base para que o aluno fizesse uma entrevista com algum conhecido que tenha participado, ao menos uma vez, do processo eleitoral e, forme sua opinião e reflexões sobre a política nacional. O grupo percebe que pouco se reflete sobre política, e isso faz falta, pois deve-se entender que ela está presente na nossa vida e deve ser debatida.

Full Text Available A votação de Lula em 2006 suscitou hipóteses sobre a repercussão das políticas públicas do primeiro mandato nos resultados eleitorais. Os programas sociais de transferência direta de renda, em especial o Bolsa Família, foram associados ao grande crescimento de sua votação nos municípios mais pobres do norte e nordeste. Empregamos conceitos e métodos da geografia eleitoral moderna para averiguar qual a participação do Bolsa Família nesta mudança geográfica. Os resultados mostram um novo padrão na distribuição espacial dos votos de Lula, confirmando que este ainda recebe o apoio de suas bases anteriores, mas revelam que os blocos regionais de municípios de alta votação em 2002 perderam a coesão em 2006, tornando-se mais vulneráveis. Os resultados confirmam ainda que a participação do Bolsa Família sobre a renda local foi um determinante do novo contorno das bases geoeleitorais, e o fator de maior peso na explicação da votação municipal.The voting of Lula in 2006 excited hypotheses on the repercussion of the public politics of the first mandate in the electoral results. The social programs of direct transference of income, in special the "Bolsa Família", had been associates to the great growth of its voting in the cities poor of the north and northeast. We use concepts and methods of modern electoral geography to inquire which the participation of the "Bolsa Família" in this geographic change. The results show a new standard in the space distribution of the votes of Lula, confirming that he still receives the support from its previous bases, but disclose that the regional blocks of cities of high voting in 2002 had lost the cohesion in 2006, becoming more vulnerable. The results confirm the participation of the "Bolsa Família" on the local income was a determinative one of the new contour of the electoral-geographic basis, and the factor of big weight in the explanation of the municipal voting.

A partir de la propuesta teórica de Stathis N. Kalyvas, reconstruye las dinámicas locales subyacentes al caso, que se engarzaron con el conflicto armado interno. Para encontrar dichas dinámicas, recurre a los recuerdos y silencios de los familiares y a la información que revelan los documentos notariales y judiciales y que la memoria precisamente intenta esconder. Muestra que las dinámicas locales contienen disputas que tienen que ver con el proceso de reestructuración de la tierra que en la localidad viene desde el siglo XIX. Dichas disputas finalmente devinieron en políticas, ocasionando la desaparición del referido Buendía.

2015-12-01

Full Text Available O padrão geográfico da flutuação da votação de Lula entre as eleições presidenciais de 2002 e 2006 é um dos mais intrigantes fenômenos políticos da história recente brasileira. Diversos estudos mostram que o programa Bolsa Família aumentou consideravelmente o apoio a Lula entre os pobres, tendo um papel determinante nos resultados da eleição de 2006. Neste artigo, eu demonstro com base em um banco de dados municipais e técnicas de econometria espacial que seu desempenho eleitoral também se associa negativamente à proporção de ricos. Meu argumento é de que o programa explica ambos os efeitos: os pobres responderam às melhorias em suas condições materiais de vida e os ricos aos custos de oportunidade de investimentos públicos que não lhes beneficiaram diretamente.

2010-09-01

Full Text Available Land use is an ultimate driver of many of the stressors on the Upper San Francisco Estuary, but the magnitude and pattern of land use change has not been analyzed. This paper attempts to fill this knowledge gap through a screening-level risk assessment. Urban land use was compared within hydrodynamic subregions in 1990, 2000, and 2006. Ancillary data were then used to quantify secondary measures such as impervious cover, housing density, road density and road crossings. Despite the rapid growth of the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Stockton metropolitan areas, the percentage of urban area and rates of change in the subregions are generally low to moderate when compared to other estuaries in the United States. The spatial data sets used in this analysis have been posted online to a public repository to be used by other researchers.

Full Text Available Objetivamos analisar quais e como as representações dos discursos sobre corrupção no Brasil, publicizados no Twitter, são mobilizadas em disputas discursivas. Para tanto, utilizamos a análise crítica do discurso, com destaque para o significado representacional deste, e o conceito de disputas discursivas operacionalizadas em três instâncias. Metodologicamente, delimitamos dois escândalos de corrupção de grande repercussão nacional e buscamos enunciados publicados no Twitter, durante os meses de agosto de 2014 e fevereiro de 2016. Assim, coletamos tweets das revistas Veja e CartaCapital, e de usuários/leitores que responderam a estes enunciados. Percebemos que o Twitter configura-se atualmente, no Brasil, como um espaço de disputas sobre os significados da corrupção marcados por dinâmicas de naturalizações, seletividade dos media, expurgo do outro, inclusão/exclusão, nomeação e estratégias de racionalização e avaliação moral. Observamos, também, que os discursos sobre a corrupção se intensificaram recentemente, sobretudo devido ao clima político-partidário nacional. Finalmente, os resultados apontam que a construção da corrupção é o resultado de processos de produção de sentidos inseridos em um contexto de campos sociais e políticos, com o papel marcante da mídia na construção de escândalos.

Busca identificar se procuraram novos postos eletivos e, em caso positivo, quais foram eles e os resultados alcançados, de modo a verificar a presença de algum padrão predominante nessas decisões com vistas a dar continuidade à carreira. O universo da pesquisa é formado por 77 indivíduos, quatro disputas de âmbito municipal (2000, 2004, 2008 e 2012 e outras cinco de âmbitos estadual e nacional (1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 e 2014, tendo o TSE como fonte principal. O fato de tais atores ocuparem o cargo de chefe do Executivo de um município com grande visibilidade e importância política e econômica no seu respectivo estado foi o ponto de partida do artigo, pois tais condições abrem a perspectiva de que possam alcançar outros postos eletivos relevantes na hierarquia política. Ao considerar as situações específicas desses prefeitos (reeleitos, desistentes da reeleição, derrotados e renunciantes em meio ao mandato, os resultados apontam que a ampla maioria pretende continuar na carreira política, inicialmente ao renovar o mandato e, na sequência, buscar outro posto eletivo, com preferência aos cargos legislativos. A taxa de sucesso na busca da reeleição é elevada, mas, ao ambicionar um cargo distinto, preponderam as derrotas, sendo que o posto mais seguro a ser alcançado é o de deputado federal.

A partir de un enfoque metodológico de la antropología y la historia, las evidencias empíricas permiten señalar que aun cuando el significado histórico de su forma, ha sido una y otra vez reinventado, persisten en su materialidad y su significado, las heridas de la memoria. Tras el bombardeo sufrido el 11 de septiembre de 1973, el Palacio de la Moneda –una y otra vez remodelado y blanqueado– permanece sumido en la ruina de esa verdad histórica. La investigación concluye que, a pesar de los actos reparatorios, de las conmemoraciones simbólicas, de las marchas y movilizaciones en su frontis, el futuro sigue abierto a su reinvención.

Monitoring oak-hickory forest change during an unprecedented red oak borer outbreak in the Ozark Mountains: 1990 to 2006

Upland oak-hickory forests in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma experienced oak decline in the late 1990s and early 2000s during an unprecedented outbreak of a native beetle, the red oak borer (ROB), Enaphalodes rufulus (Haldeman). Although remote sensing supports frequent monitoring of continuously changing forests, comparable in situ observations are critical for developing an understanding of past and potential ROB damage in the Ozark Mountains. We categorized forest change using a normalized difference water index (NDWI) applied to multitemporal Landsat TM and ETM+ imagery (1990, 2001, and 2006). Levels of decline or growth were categorized using simple statistical thresholds of change in the NDWI over time. Corresponding decline and growth areas were then observed in situ where tree diameter, age, crown condition, and species composition were measured within variable radius plots. Using a machine learning decision tree classifier, remote sensing-derived decline and growth was characterized in terms of in situ observation. Plots with tree quadratic mean diameter at breast height ≥21.5 cm were categorized remotely as in severe decline. Landsat TM/ETM+-based NDWI derivatives reveal forest decline and regrowth in post-ROB outbreak surveys. Historical and future Landsat-based canopy change detection should be incorporated with existing landscape-based prediction of ROB hazard.

O raciocínio baseado em casos tem como princípio a idéias de que um caso jurídico passado pode ser útil para resolver um problema atual, desde que exista entre eles algum grau de semelhança. Para estabelecer semelhanças entre casos atuais e passados o modelo estudado propõe o uso de cálculo de similaridade que é realizado com base na comparação de índices temáticos obtidos a partir do processo de indexação realizado por especialistas utilizando-se como apoio um tesauro jurídico. Esta pesquisa utiliza como universo as jurisprudências produzidas pelo Tribunal Regional Eleitoral do Distrito Federal. A amostra foi composta, considerando o recorte dado à pesquisa, por jurisprudências eleitorais produzidas nas eleições gerais de 2006 no Distrito Federal. Para realizar a avaliação do modelo, foi construído um protótipo do sistema de recuperação de informação baseado em casos. Em seguida, avaliou-se o protótipo quanto ao grau de precisão obtido no resultado de um conjunto de buscas.

Elevators remain one of the safest forms of transportation; however, they are still associated with deaths and injuries. This study describes the epidemiology of elevator-related injuries among adults aged 65 years and older in the United States between 1990 and 2006, through a retrospective analysis of data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Proportions with 95% confidence intervals were calculated by age group for cause of injury, injured body region, injury type, and locale. Rate ratios with 95% confidence interval were calculated to determine any association between the body region injured, type of injury, and cause of injury categories. There were an estimated 44,870 elevator-related injuries in older adults. The mean age was 79.5 years, and approximately 75% were women. More than half of the injuries (51.4%) were caused from a slip, trip, or fall. Soft-tissue injuries were the most common injury type (48.0%). The upper extremities were the most commonly injured body region (26.2%). Almost 15% (14.5%) of those injured required hospital admission. Of those admitted, more than 40% were for a fractured hip. Injuries associated with passenger elevators occur fairly frequently among older adults, are often associated with slip, trip or falls, and can be severe enough to require hospital admission. Older adults should use caution when stepping on or off an elevator. Awareness of the risk and the circumstances leading to falls allows for better direction of intervention strategies.

Se parte del supuesto de que la creación de territorios no siempre implica conflictividad, aunque siempre que existe disputa sobre el carácter de un determinado espacio se están ejerciendo formas antagónicas o divergentes de territorialidad. En los casos donde se producen pugnas por el territorio se activa un tipo discursivo que denominamos territorial, por lo tanto, el primer objetivo del trabajo es proponer una definición del mismo. Como caso de estudio se seleccionaron las disputas territoriales gestadas en torno al desarrollo de infraestructura turística en la costa bonaerense, respondiendo al modelo más simple de enfrentamiento: la oposición de un sujeto colectivo a un particular proceso de territorialización. Una cualidad común de los casos seleccionados es la asimetría en las relaciones de fuerza, lo que lleva al actor que se opone a tal o cual intervención en el territorio a desarrollar su estrategia de territorialidad mediante acciones innovadoras y creativas, entre ellas, la puesta en práctica de discursos territoriales. El segundo objetivo es el análisis de estos discursos elaborados por aquellos actores que protagonizan disputas en escenarios turísticos de la costa bonaerense. Para los objetivos propuestos se efectuó un análisis interpretativo de los discursos territoriales en tres movimientos regionales con proyección social, capacidad organizativa y continuidad, extrayendo el material de las diversas formas de comunicación y difusión con el que cuentan.

This report represents the 2008 Netherlands' annual inventory submission under the Kyoto Protocol and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as well as the European Union's Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism. It has been prepared following the relevant guidelines, which also refer to Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines and IPCC Good Practice guidance and Uncertainty Management reports, provide a format for the definition of source categories and for calculation, documentation and reporting of emissions. The guidelines aim at facilitating verification, technical assessment and expert review of the inventory information by independent Expert Review Teams of the UNFCCC. Therefore, the inventories should be transparent, consistent, comparable, complete and accurate as elaborated in the UNFCCC Guidelines for reporting and be prepared using good practice as described in the IPCC Good Practice Guidance. This National Inventory Report (NIR) 2008 therefore provides explanations of the trends in greenhouse gas emissions, activity data and (implied) emission factors for the period 1990-2006. It also summarises descriptions of methods and data sources of Tier 1 assessments of the uncertainty in annual emissions and in emission trends; it presents an assessment of key sources following the Tier 1 and Tier 2 approaches of the IPCC Good Practice Guidance; and describes Quality Assurance and Quality Control activities. This report provides no specific information on the effectiveness of government policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This information can be found in the annual Environmental Balance (in Dutch: 'Milieubalans') prepared by the Netherlands' Environmental Assessment Agency (MNP) and the 4th National Communication (NC4) prepared by the government of the Netherlands. So-called Common Reporting Format (CRF) spreadsheet files, containing data on emissions, activity data and implied emission factors, accompany this report. The complete set

Full Text Available La educación sexual, junto con la distribución gratuita de anticonceptivos y de la píldora del ‘día después’, el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo, la fecundación asistida, la autodeterminación de la identidad sexual, la eutanasia y la despenalización del aborto, conforman uno de los ‘núcleos sensibles’ que cristalizan pujas y negociaciones entre el Estado, la dirigencia política y las instituciones religiosas a la hora de definir los fundamentos regulatorios de las políticas públicas en esos tópicos. El trabajo focaliza la mirada en las controversias semánticas entabladas por el Ministerio de Educación de la República Argentina y la Conferencia Episcopal, una vez aprobada la Ley Nacional de Educación Sexual Integral en 2006. El análisis de contenido de las principales publicaciones sobre educación sexual divulgadas por ambas instituciones, permitirá identificar los elementos de continuidad y de ruptura entre las tramas discursivas políticas y religiosas, así como las disputas por la construcción del discurso social legitimado. El abordaje propuesto habilita una entrada privilegiada para comprender las lógicas que se activan en la definición de determinadas políticas públicas y legislaciones, contemplando tanto las estrategias de influencia de las instituciones religiosas en el diseño e implementación de las mismas, como los niveles de receptividad de las demandas de contenido religioso por parte de los ‘decisores’ políticos.

Full Text Available O artigo analisa os impactos da estratificação social e da identidade ideológica sobre o voto no Brasil nas eleições presidenciais de 2002 e 2006 e identifica os valores e atitudes associados ao voto em Lula nos dois pleitos. A análise baseada nos resultados do ESEB mostra o comportamento independente das duas variáveis explicativas do voto para presidente: em 2002, a estratificação social foi pouco relevante para explicar a decisão eleitoral, sobretudo o voto em Lula, que esteve significativamente associado com a auto-identidade ideológica. Em 2006, as variáveis impactam o voto para presidente de modo inverso. Não obstante essas diferenças, nos dois momentos, o voto em Lula em específico é mais fortemente explicado pela simpatia e identidade com o candidato.The article analyses the impact of social stratification and ideological identification on voting behavior in the Brazilian Presidential elections of 2002 and 2006, and, specifically, it identifies the values and attitudes associated with the vote for Lula. The analysis is based on the 2 waves of the ESEB (Brazilian Electoral Study and it shows that in 2002, the social stratification was not a relevant factor in the explanation of presidential voting, especially the vote for Lula, associated with the self-ideological identification of citizens; in 2006, the situation is the opposite. However, in the 2 presidential campaigns, the vote for Lula is strongly explained by the voter’s identification with the candidate.

Energy consumption and related CO2 emissions in five Latin American countries: Changes from 1990 to 2006 and perspectives

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Sheinbaum, Claudia; Ruiz, Belizza J.; Ozawa, Leticia

2011-01-01

This study examines the primary energy consumption and energy-related CO 2 emissions in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela during the period 1990-2006. It also reviews important reforms in the energy sector of these countries as well as the promotion of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES). Using a decomposition analysis, results indicate that even though significant reductions in energy intensity have been achieved in Colombia, Mexico and in a lesser extent in Brazil and Argentina, the reduction of CO 2 emissions in these countries has not been significant due to an increased dependence on fossil fuels in their energy mix. Although the Latin American region has an important experience in the promotion of EE programs and renewable sources, the energy agenda of the examined countries focused mostly on the energy reforms during the analyzed period. The policy review suggests that further governmental support and strong public policies towards a more sustainable energy path are required to encourage a low carbon future in the region.

Injuries and medical emergencies associated with snow shovel use are common in the United States. This is a retrospective analysis of data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. This study analyzes the epidemiologic features of snow shovel-related injuries and medical emergencies treated in US emergency departments (EDs) from 1990 to 2006. An estimated 195 100 individuals (95% confidence interval, 140 400-249 800) were treated in US EDs for snow shovel-related incidents during the 17-year study period, averaging 11 500 individuals annually (SD, 5300). The average annual rate of snow shovel-related injuries and medical emergencies was 4.15 per 100 000 population. Approximately two thirds (67.5%) of these incidents occurred among males. Children younger than 18 years comprised 15.3% of the cases, whereas older adults (55 years and older) accounted for 21.8%. The most common diagnosis was soft tissue injury (54.7%). Injuries to the lower back accounted for 34.3% of the cases. The most common mechanism of injury/nature of medical emergency was acute musculoskeletal exertion (53.9%) followed by slips and falls (20.0%) and being struck by a snow shovel (15.0%). Cardiac-related ED visits accounted for 6.7% of the cases, including all of the 1647 deaths in the study. Patients required hospitalization in 5.8% of the cases. Most snow shovel-related incidents (95.6%) occurred in and around the home. This is the first study to comprehensively examine snow shovel-related injuries and medical emergencies in the United States using a nationally representative sample. There are an estimated 11 500 snow shovel-related injuries and medical emergencies treated annually in US EDs. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

To determine the rate of postoperative infection (POI) for internal fixation repaired equine long bone fractures and arthrodeses and identify associated risk factors. Case series. Horses (n=192) with fracture repair of the third metacarpal and metatarsal bones, radius, ulna, humerus, tibia, and femur, or arthrodesis with internal fixation. Medical records (1990-2006) were reviewed for signalment, anatomic location, fracture classification and method of repair, technique and surgical duration, bacterial species isolated, postoperative care, onset of POI, and outcome. Of 192 horses (171 [89%] closed, 21 [11%] open fractures), 157 (82%) were discharged from the hospital. Infection occurred in 53 (28% horses), of which 31 (59%) were discharged. Repairs without POI were 7.25 times more likely to be discharged from the hospital. Closed fractures were 4.23 times more likely to remain uninfected and 4.59 times more likely to be discharged from the hospital compared with open fractures. Closed reduction and internal fixation was associated with a 2.5-fold reduction in rate of POI and a 5.9 times greater chance for discharge from the hospital compared with open reduction and internal fixation. Females had a strong trend for increased POI when compared with colts and stallion but not geldings. Overall rate of POI was 28%. Fracture classification, method of repair, gender, and surgical duration were significant risk factors.

This study examined the association between unemployment and life expectancy in the United States during 1990–2010. Census-based unemployment rates were linked to US county-level mortality data. Life expectancies were calculated by age, sex, race, and unemployment level during 1990–2010. Differences in life expectancy were decomposed by age and cause of death. Life expectancy was consistently lower in areas with higher unemployment rates. In 2006–2010, those in areas with high unemployment rates (≥9%) had a life expectancy of 76.9 years, compared with 80.7 years for those in areas with low unemployment rates (unemployment and life expectancy was stronger for men than for women. Life expectancy ranged from 69.9 years among black men in high unemployment areas to 90.0 years among Asian/Pacific Islander women in low unemployment areas. Disparities persisted over time. In 1990–1992, life expectancy was 4.7 years shorter in high unemployment than in low unemployment areas. In 2006–2010, the life expectancy difference between the lowest and highest unemployment areas decreased to 3.8 years. Heart disease, cancer, homicide, unintentional injuries, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and liver cirrhosis contributed most to the lower life expectancy in high unemployment areas. High unemployment areas recorded larger gains in life expectancy than low unemployment areas, contributing to the narrowing gap during 1990–2010. PMID:27073716

Full Text Available The article contends that Brazil?s "Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral" (under which parties are granted free airtime for political campaign advertisements can be contrasted with the Brazilian electoral system?s tendency to produce purely individualistic legislative campaigns. The central hypothesis is that the way in which Brazilian political parties organize their candidates? participation in these time slots has substantial consequences both for their public image as well as for their poll performance. The first section of the article defines the more general characteristics of political representation in Brazil within the framework of traditional political science interpretations. The second section underscores the growing importance of studies on election campaigns and party presence in the media. Within this context, the evolution of the HGPE?s historical importance as a campaign space is examined. The third section presents our model of analysis of the HGPE, highlighting its effects on relations between parties, on the one hand, and their candidates and potential voters, on the other. Rio de Janeiro?s proportional elections of 1994 and 1996 are taken as a case study. The article concludes that the HGPE acts as a tool for informally ranking party lists in Brazil.

Através do exame acurado das contestações dirigidas à Câmara Baixa por alguns dos candidatos derrotados nos pleitos realizados para preenchimento das cadeiras desta Casa representativa, veremos que as alegações de fraude se faziam reflexo de um processo mais complexo, sobretudo fruto da competição desencadeada no âmbito subnacional, expressão de embate direto entre facções estaduais rivais. A análise desta rica fonte revela que o estímulo elementar da competição político-partidária nos anos 1900 era a concorrência pelo controle da máquina administrativa das eleições, financiadora inconteste do condicionamento dos resultados dos escrutínios.

El principal aporte de la investigación se instala en la búsqueda, desde una transformación histórica concreta, de lo que se ha llamado genéricamente el neoliberalismo en educación superior. De esto emerge la interpretación histórica de que la transformación de la educación superior chilena, durante la dictadura cívico-militar, no estuvo marcada por una trayectoria de cambio neoliberal acumulativa, sino mas bien como un campo de disputa junto con un desencaje respecto a lo que se entiende por Neoliberalismo en educación. Por lo tanto, la investigación se enmarca en los estudios sobre historia de la educación guiada por una estrategia metodológica histórica de enfoque hermenéutico, cuyo uso de información estará centrado en la validación y contrastación de fuentes.

Full Text Available Utilizando os resultados de uma etnografia midiática realizada em uma comunidade on-line de fãs do reality show Big Brother Brasil (BBB este artigo discute algumas questões centrais acerca da “cultura da convergência”. As análises trazidas aqui apresentam um contraponto à ideia de que as dinâmicas entre fãs de produtos como o BBB necessariamente implicariam na formação de uma “inteligência coletiva”, conforme defendido por acadêmicos como Henry Jenkins e Pierre Lévy. Os fãs da versão nacional do formato, por exemplo, parecem estar mais preocupados com disputas por prestígio, hierarquia e capital subcultural do que com o desenvolvimento de um conhecimento comum, capaz de desafiar interesses econômicos e corporativos.

Between 1990 and 2006, China reduced its under-five mortality rate (U5MR) from 64.6 to 20.6 per 1000 live births and achieved the fourth United Nation's Millennium Development Goal nine years ahead of target. This study explores the contribution of social, economic and political determinants, health system and policy determinants, and health programmes and interventions to this success. For each of the years between 1990 and 2006, we obtained an estimate of U5MR for 30 Chinese provinces from the annual China Health Statistics Yearbook. For each year, we also obtained data describing the status of 8 social, 10 economic, 2 political, 9 health system and policy, and six health programmes and intervention indicators for each province. These government data are not of the same quality as some other health information sources in modern China, such as articles with primary research data available in Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wan Fang databases, or Chinese Maternal and Child Mortality Surveillance system. Still, the comparison of relative changes in underlying indicators with the undisputed strong general trend of childhood mortality reduction over 17 years should still capture the main effects at the macro-level. We used multivariate random effect regression models to determine the effect of 35 indicators individually and 5 constructs defined by factor analysis (reflecting effects of social, economic, political, health systems and policy, and health programmes) on the reduction of U5MR in China. In the univariate regression applied with a one-year time lag, social determinants of health construct showed the strongest crude association with U5MR reduction (R(2) = 0.74), followed by the constructs for health programmes and interventions (R(2) = 0.65), economic (R(2) = 0.47), political (R(2) = 0.28) and health system and policy determinants (R(2) = 0.26), respectively.

The aim of this study was to assess trends in risk factors, etiology, outcome and treatment strategies for endocarditis over 23 years in Slovakia. A prospective survey of 606 cases of infective endocarditis (IE) was conducted from 1984-2006. Rheumatic fever as well as previous dental surgery showed decreasing trends within the last 23 years. Also embolic complications of IE declined along with increasing rates of surgically treated patients. No significant changes in etiology were detected apart from the fact that culture-negative endocarditis increased from 10.7% to 55.4% between 1998-2001. Surgically treated patients increased from 22.7% (1984-1990) to 50.1% (2002-2006) and mortality dramatically decreased from 26.7% (1984-1990) to 5.3% (2002-2006). Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci were the leading causes (22.4% - 48%) followed by viridans streptococci (12.2%-18.2%) were a relatively stable trend over 23 years of IE in Slovakia.

Utilizando dados coletados em survey original de 2006, em Salvador e São Paulo, há evidências de que uma maioria esmagadora de afro-brasileiros se identifica como um grupo racial. Além disso, existe uma relação positiva e estatisticamente significante entre a identificação como um grupo racial e de voto para políticos negros em Salvador, porém não em São Paulo.A number of scholars do not examine racial group identity among Afro-Brazilians because of Brazil's history as a racially mixed nation. Given the growing strength of the black movements and the enactment of racial policies such as affirmative action that presume the existence of racial groups it is necessary to examine if racial group identity is salient. Using original survey data collected in 2006 in Salvador and São Paulo, Brazil, there is evidence that an overwhelming majority of Afro-Brazilians in identify as a racial group. Furthermore, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between identifying as a racial group and voting for black politicians in Salvador but not in São Paulo.

Métodos: Los casos se obtuvieron del Ministerio de Trabajo y Asuntos Sociales, y los trabajadores del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Para explicar la estructura de los datos se utiliza el análisis de componentes principales. Se calculan las tasas de incidencia anuales ajustadas y se representa el riesgo relativo en mapas. Resultados: El incremento en la declaración de las enfermedades profesionales es constante desde 1990 hasta 2005 en todas las CCAA, pero sólo aumentan los casos leves y sin baja, que sumaron el 99%. En 2006-2007 la declaración desciende casi a la mitad: 17.061 casos en 2007 frente a 30.030 en 2005. Tanto el incremento como el descenso de la incidencia se observa en todas las CCAA, pero con valores y pendientes diferentes. El análisis de componentes principales muestra que Asturias presenta una evolución temporal diferente del resto de CCAA. Se observa un patrón en que destaca la elevada declaración en el norte del país, sin que factores tales como la edad, el sexo, la actividad económica y la ocupación expliquen las diferencias. Conclusiones: El sistema de seguridad social no está compensando enfermedades complejas y crónicas, prevalentes hoy día. A pesar de la mejora en la declaración de las enfermedades profesionales entre los años 1990 y 2005, el retroceso observado en 2006-2007, y sobre todo la brecha entre CCAA, alertan de que la prestación no está funcionado con equidad, lo que genera desigualdad y falta de cohesión, y supone un reto para la definición de políticas de prevención eficaces.Objectives: To determine the reporting pattern and trends for occupational diseases by autonomous communities in Spain between 1990 and 2007.

This report explains the parts of the Danish inventories related to road transport and other mobile sources. Emission results are shown for CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, N{sub 2}O, SO{sub 2}, NO{sub X}, NMVOC, CO, particulate matter (PM), heavy metals, dioxins and PAH. From 1990-2006 the fuel use and CO{sub 2} emissions for road transport have increased by 36 %, and CH{sub 4} emissions have decreased by 51 %. A N{sub 2}O emission increase of 29 % is related to the relatively high emissions from older gasoline catalyst cars. The 1985-2006 emission decreases for PM (exhaust only), CO, NO{sub X} and NMVOC are 30, 69, 28 and 71 % respectively, due to the introduction of vehicles complying with gradually stricter emission standards. For SO{sub 2} the emission drop is 99% (due to reduced sulphur content in the diesel fuel), whereas the NH{sub 3} emissions increase by 3065% (due to the introduction of catalyst cars). For other mobile sources the calculated emission changes for CO{sub 2} (and fuel use), CH{sub 4} and N{sub 2}O are -10, 5 and -11%, from 1990 to 2006. The emissions of SO{sub 2}, particulates (all size fractions), NO{sub X}, NMVOC and CO have decreased by 88, 56, 14, 12 and 9% from 1985 to 2006. For NH{sub 3} the emissions have increased by 8% in the same time period. Uncertainties for the emissions and trends have been estimated. (au)

Full Text Available En el Pacífico colombiano no hubo fuertes disputas por la tierra en las últimas décadas del siglo diecinueve y las primeras del veinte, como sucedió en otras partes de Colombia, pero sí hubo conflictos territoriales. Estos estuvieron centrados en el acceso a recursos naturales considerados valiosos: semillas de palma de tagua, oro y platino. Al estudiar estos conflictos este artículo ayuda a comprender por qué la mayoría de la región mantuvo su carácter de baldío de la nación en momentos en que se aceleró la titulación de tierra en otras partes del país. Así, contribuye a entender la particular historia del Pacífico colombiano, que generó las condiciones que favorecieron la titulación colectiva a comunidades negras que estipula la Constitución política de 1991.

Na controvérsia do aborto no espaço público, grupos alinhados pró-vida e pró-escolha buscam o audiovisual como meio de propagar suas mensagens políticas. A retórica visual pró-vida recorre a imagens de diferentes estágios do desenvolvimento para provar a individualidade de embriões e fetos e sua condição de pessoa dotada de direitos. O movimento pró-escolha constrói seu discurso por meio de relatos de pessoas que passaram pela experiência do aborto, enfatizando o sofrimento e a violência da criminalização e da clandestinidade. O foco é a mulher como sujeito moral. A exceção está no tópico da anencefalia, quando imagens são usadas para representar a figura do "bebê sem cérebro" inviável. A partir do sofrimento e da violência, fetos e mulheres são apresentados como vítimas pelos diferentes lados da disputa, modo de reivindicar acesso a direitos.

Northeast storms ranked by wind stress and wave-generated bottom stress observed in Massachusetts Bay, 1990-2006

Along the coast of the northeastern United States, strong winds blowing from the northeast are often associated with storms called northeasters, coastal storms that strongly influence weather. In addition to effects caused by wind stress, the sea floor is affected by bottom stress associated with these storms. Bottom stress caused by orbital velocities associated with surface waves integrated over the duration of a storm is a metric of storm strength at the sea floor. Near-bottom wave-orbital velocities calculated by using measurements of significant wave height and dominant wave period and the parametric spectral method described in Wiberg and Sherwood [Wiberg, P.L., Sherwood, C.R. Calculating wave-generated bottom orbital velocities from surface wave parameters. Computers in Geosciences, in press] compared well with observations in Massachusetts Bay. Integrated bottom-wave stress (called IWAVES), calculated at 30 m water depth, and a companion storm-strength metric, integrated surface wind stress at 10 m (called IWINDS), are used to provide an overview of the strength, frequency, and timing of large storms in Massachusetts Bay over a 17-year period from January 1990 through December 2006. These new metrics reflect both storm duration and intensity. Northeast storms were the major cause of large waves in Massachusetts Bay because of the long fetch to the east: of the strongest 10% of storms (n=38) ranked by IWAVES, 22 had vector-averaged wind stress from the northeast quadrant. The Blizzard of December 1992, the Perfect Storm of October 1991, and a December 2003 storm were the strongest three storms ranked by IWAVES and IWINDS, and all were northeasters. IWAVES integrated over the winter season (defined as October-May) ranged by about a factor of 11; the winters with the highest integrated IWAVES were 1992-1993 and 2004-2005 and the winter with the lowest integrated IWAVES was 2001-2002. May 2005 was the only month in the 17-year record that two of the nine

Transportation sector of Canada is the second largest energy consuming sector which accounts for 30% of the total energy consumption of the country in 2009. The purpose of this work was to analyze the energy, exergy, and emission performance for four different modes of transport (road, air, rail, and marine) from the year 1990–2035. For historical period, the estimated overall energy efficiency ranges from 22.41% (1991) to 22.55% (2006) with a mean of 22.48 ± 0.07% and the overall exergy efficiency ranges from 21.61% (2001) to 21.87 (2006) with a mean of 21.74 ± 0.13%. Energy and exergy efficiencies may reach 20.95% and 20.97% in the year 2035 respectively based on the forecasted data. In comparison with other countries, we found that in the year 2000 the overall energy and exergy efficiencies for Canadian transportation sector were higher than Jordan, China, Norway, and Saudi Arabia but lower than Turkey and Malaysia. Between the year 1990–2009, the highest amount of emission produced in each subsector was: road CO 2 (80%), NO x (72%), and CO (carbon monoxide) (96%); air SO 2 (86%); rail NO x (6%) and marine NO x (7%). The road subsector produced the highest amount of emissions. - Highlights: • Energy, exergy and emission performance for Canadian transport was analyzed. • Maximum energy and exergy efficiencies were 22.55% and 21.87% in 2006 respectively. • Energy and exergy efficiencies may decrease in the year 2035. • CO 2 was the largest pollutant emitted followed by CO, NO x , and SO 2 . • Utilization of green fuels can improve exergy and emission performance

La participación política de la Mujer en Chile Post Pinochet 1990 -2006

En el año 1990 se inicia en Chile un nuevo período democrático, donde la participación de la mujer en política empieza a ser más importante, conquistando espacios de poder, que le fueron históricamente negados. Este proceso ha estado marcado por liderazgos femeninos aislados la inexistencia de un fuerte movimiento feminista lo cual ha dificultado un liderazgo colectivo. Así como también, por la lucha permanente frente al poder masculino existente, tanto en el país como en las elites políticas...

Nem só de debates epistemológicos vive o pesquisador em administração: alguns apontamentos sobre disputas entre paradigmas e campo científico

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Milka Alves Correia Barbosa

Full Text Available A discussão sobre abordagens paradigmáticas no campo da Administração pode ser profícua quando provoca os pesquisadores a refletir sobre premissas, práticas e valores compartilhados por uma comunidade científica. Entretanto, ao extremo, torna-se uma disputa que impede a busca de outras abordagens para lidar com a complexidade dos fenômenos sociais. Nesse sentido, importa compreender que, na produção do conhecimento científico, os pesquisadores não se deparam somente com escolhas acerca de epistemologia, de lógica ou de teoria linguística, mas, também, com problemas de política. Este ensaio objetiva contribuir com reflexões sobre o pesquisador e os desafios epistemológicos e políticos com os quais se depara no fazer pesquisa, argumentando que não se trata somente de uma escolha entre positivismos e interpretativismos, mas igualmente envolve disputas de poder dentro de um campo científico. Para tanto, foram selecionados intencionalmente textos com conceitos-chave, como paradigmas e campo científico. Em resposta ao objetivo geral deste ensaio, consideramos que o fazer ciência constitui uma atividade humana que possui vínculo indissociável com espaço e tempo e imbrica-se com jogos de poder. Entendemos, ainda, que o campo científico da Administração no Brasil é um espaço de competitividade e lutas políticas do qual fazemos parte, quer seja como opressores ou privilegiados, mas nunca como meros expectadores. Nessa arena, nem só de debates epistemológicos vive o pesquisador em Administração.

Full Text Available En el marco de una crisis histórica en Venezuela, se está produciendo una significativa reorganización geoeconómica del territorio alrededor del extractivismo: se trata de una expansión hacia las nuevas “fronteras de las commodities” en la cual se pretende incorporar a la megaminería entres sus más importantes actividades económicas. El artículo presenta rasgos y características de la actual expansión de frontera, desde la perspectiva de la ecología política y la economía ecológica, analizando también los factores históricos y coyunturales más determinantes de este proceso, así como las formas que toma la nueva cartografía del extractivismo en el país. Algunas modalidades discursivas, de apropiación de la naturaleza y de territorialización, derivadas de esta política sobre el “tejido de la vida” serán también examinadas. A su vez, se resaltan algunas potenciales consecuencias e implicaciones de estos procesos, haciendo énfasis en los daños socioambientales, el déficit ecológico nacional, y los diferentes conflictos y disputas producidas por ellos.

Although all Brazilian regions have been affected, the Northeast and Southeast regions have registered the highest number of notifications. DENV-1 and DENV-4 were isolated for the first time in the Amazon region of Brazil in 1981 and 1982. The disease became a nationwide public health problem following outbreaks of DENV-1 and DENV-2 in the state of Rio de Janeiro in 1986 and 1990, respectively. The introduction of DENV-3 in 2000, also in the state of Rio de Janeiro, led to a severe epidemic with 288 245 reported dengue cases, including 91 deaths. Virus strains that were typed during the 2002 epidemic show that DENV-3 has displaced other dengue virus serotypes and entered new areas, a finding that warrants closer evaluation. Unusual clinical symptoms, including central nervous system involvement, have been observed in dengue patients in at least three regions of the country.En Brasil se han notificado 4 243 049 casos de dengue entre 1981 y 2006, de ellos 5 817 casos de dengue hemorrágico/síndrome de choque por dengue (DH/SCD y un total de 338 casos mortales.

El trabajo aborda dos cuestiones mal conocidas, centrándose en las últimas ocupaciones del asentamiento, por ser las mejor investigadas: a los procesos de formación y acumulación de restos en una aldea con arquitectura de barro; y b una caracterización social de sus habitantes. La anatomía interna de este asentamiento muestra la persistencia de usos y la superposición de desechos y estructuras. Las viviendas carecen de enseres domésticos, aparecen colmatadas con adobes y en ocasiones incendiadas. Respecto a la organización social, se detectan síntomas de división interna: las casas con atrio y sus dependencias auxiliares se cercan. Las estrategias agrarias complejas constatadas pudieron haber facilitado la acumulación de riqueza por algunas familias, dentro de una organización social heterárquica.

Full Text Available Cholera is still a major public health concern in many African countries. In Angola, after a decade of absence, cholera reemerged in 1987, spreading throughout the country until 1996, with outbreaks recurring in a seasonal pattern. In 2006 Angola was hit by one of the most severe outbreaks of the last decade, with ca. 240,000 cases reported.We analyzed 21 clinical strains isolated between 1992 and 2006 from several provinces throughout the country: Benguela, Bengo, Luanda, Cuando Cubango and Cabinda. We used two multiplex PCR assays to investigate discriminatory mobile genetic elements (ICEs, VSP-II, GI12, GI14, GI15, K and TLC phages and we compared the profiles obtained with those of different reference V. cholerae O1 variants (prototypical, altered and hybrid, responsible for the ongoing 7th pandemic. We also tested the strains for the presence of specific VSP-II variants and for the presence of a genomic island (WASA-1, correlated with the transmission of seventh pandemic cholera from Africa to South America. Based on the presence/absence of the analyzed genetic elements, five novel profiles were detected in the epidemic strains circulating in the 1990s. The most frequent profiles, F and G, were characterized by the absence of ICEs and the three GIs tested, and the presence of genomic island WASA-1 and the WASA variant of the VSP-II island. Our results identified unexpected variability within the 1990s epidemic, showing different rearrangements in a dynamic part of the genome not present in the prototypical V. cholerae O1 N16961. Moreover the 2006 strains differed from the current pandemic V. cholerae O1 strain. Taken together, our results highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer in diversifying the genetic background of V. cholerae within a single epidemic.

The main purpose with this report is to present indicators that show the coherence between energy consumption and economic activity in Norway, and by this indicate if the energy consumption becomes more efficient. The report describes trends in energy use and energy intensity for Norway for the period 1990-2009, both at the national level and for detailed industries. The total energy consumption in Norway amounted to 282 TWh in 2009. Much of this energy is used in manufacturing industries, households, oil and gas extraction and road transport. In the period 1990-2009, the total energy consumption in Norway rose by 28 per cent. An important reason for the large increase in energy consumption in Norway is the increased activity in the oil and gas extraction and road transport.The main focus in this report is energy consumption per unit of production (activity level) in constant prices as we believe this is the most suitable indicator for energy intensity in the Norwegian economy. Energy use per unit of production has shown a decline of 29 per cent from 1990 to 2009. For comparison, energy use per unit of value added decreased by 17 per cent. The decline in energy intensity is due to several factors. Energy efficient equipment and improved productivity through technological change have played an important role together with the shifts in industrial structure towards less energy-intensive manufacturing industries, energy efficient buildings, increased outdoor temperature and increased labor productivity. Industry Specific indicators Energy use in manufacturing industries has leveled off since the late nineties and energy intensity declined 44 per cent in the period 1990-2009. The decrease reflects the closure of several energy-intensive businesses and facilities in the last ten years, while the remaining companies have shifted to more energy efficient equipment. It is important to keep in mind that 2009 was a special year due to the financial crisis, and the energy

Given the expected increase in the number of patients with osteoporosis and fragility fractures it is important to have concise information on trends in prescription rates of anti-osteoporosis drugs (AOD). We undertook a retrospective observational study using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) in the UK between 1990 and 2012 in subjects 50years or older, stratified by age, sex, geographic region and ethnicity. Yearly prescription incidence rates of any AOD and of each specific AOD were calculated as the number of patients first prescribed these AODs per 10,000person-years (py). In women, yearly rates of first prescription of any AOD increased from 1990 to 2006 (from 2.3 to 169.7 per 10,000py), followed by a plateau and a 12% decrease in the last three years. In men, a less steep increase from 1990 to 2007 (from 1.4 to 45.3 per 10,000py) was followed by a plateau from 2008 onwards. Yearly rates of first prescription of any AOD increased up to the age of 85-89years (248.9 per 10,000py in women and 119.3 in men). There were marked differences between ethnic groups and regions. Bisphosphonates were the most frequently prescribed AODs: etidronate till 2000, and then subsequently alendronate. We have demonstrated marked secular changes in rates of anti-osteoporosis drug prescription over the last two decades. The plateau (and decrease amongst women) in rates in recent years, set against an ever ageing population, is worrying, suggesting that the well-documented care gap in osteoporosis treatment persists. The differences in prescription rates by geographic location and ethnicity raise intriguing questions in relation to underlying fracture rates, provision of care and health behaviour. We studied the prescription incidence of anti-osteoporosis drugs (AOD) from 1990 to 2012 in the UK CPRD. Overall AOD prescription incidence showed a strong increase from 1990 to 2006, followed by a plateau in both sexes and a decrease amongst women in the last three years

Full Text Available Por que disputas comerciais no âmbito da Organização Mundial de Comércio (OMC são decididas predominantemente de forma amigável, não obstante a existência de um sofisticado mecanismo quasi-adjudicatório para a resolução dessas controvérsias? Como explicar a preferência da parte que inicia uma disputa pela solução amigável, quando se sabe que a OMC, em média, decide 64% dos casos a favor do iniciante? Este artigo analisa padrões de solução de controvérsias no sistema do Acordo Geral de Tarifas e Comércio e da Organização Mundial de Comércio (GATT/OMC, por meio da teoria dos movimentos (BRAMS, 1994, com o propósito de estudar as escolhas estratégicas disponíveis para as partes. Propõe-se que, no sistema do GATT/OMC, as partes em uma disputa comercial agem de forma magnânima quando abrem mão do melhor resultado em um jogo. Esta ação é racional porque ela oferece à parte demandada maiores chances de se alcançar uma solução amigável da disputa. Esse comportamento não encontra explicação satisfatória no conceito de equilíbrio míope da teoria dos jogos tradicional. Em contrapartida, a teoria dos movimentos incorpora a noção de equilíbrio não-míope ao seu modelo de tomada de decisões. Este artigo explica o comportamento não-míope e racional dos jogadores quando estes buscam o segundo melhor resultado no jogo. Três disputas comerciais ilustram a análise e caracterizam situações em que: (i a solução amigável advém do comportamento magnânimo; (ii a solução amigável ocorre a despeito do comportamento magnânimo; e (iii não há solução amigável.Why most trade disputes in the World Trade Organization (WTO end in a friendly settlement, despite the existence of a sophisticated dispute settlement mechanism?

2017-01-01

Full Text Available Este texto expone cómo el género y la sexualidad forman parte de las delimitaciones internas de Tijuana. Con el análisis de los discursos de la prensa, en contraste con entrevistas a informantes clave, se observa que existen disputas por las fronteras inte rnas de la ciudad. El estudio se sitúa entre las décadas de 1970 y 1990, y destaca cómo el control y la regulación de las sexualidades dan cuenta de las acciones políticas de sujetos que actúan, se reinventan e intervienen en la producción de la ciudad. Se expone, primero, una discusión conceptual sobre las delimitaciones de las fronteras en relación con las sexualidades; posteriormente, se hace referencia al conservadurismo político y social en Tijuana, para luego mencionar la represión y las muertes en co ntra de los mujercitos . Se concluye que las disputas y la organización política en torno a la diversidad sexual conforman fronteras internas en Tijuana.

How unusual was autumn 2006 in Europe?

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

G. J. van Oldenborgh

2007-11-01

Full Text Available The temperatures in large parts of Europe have been record high during the meteorological autumn of 2006. Compared to 1961–1990, the 2 m temperature was more than three degrees Celsius above normal from the North side of the Alps to southern Norway. This made it by far the warmest autumn on record in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, with the records in Central England going back to 1659, in the Netherlands to 1706 and in Denmark to 1768. The deviations were so large that under the obviously false assumption that the climate does not change, the observed temperatures for 2006 would occur with a probability of less than once every 10 000 years in a large part of Europe, given the distribution defined by the temperatures in the autumn 1901–2005.

A better description of the temperature distribution is to assume that the mean changes proportional to the global mean temperature, but the shape of the distribution remains the same. This includes to first order the effects of global warming. Even under this assumption the autumn temperatures were very unusual, with estimates of the return time of 200 to 2000 years in this region. The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval is more than 100 to 300 years.

Apart from global warming, linear effects of a southerly circulation are found to give the largest contributions, explaining about half of the anomalies. SST anomalies in the North Sea were also important along the coast.

Climate models that simulate the current atmospheric circulation well underestimate the observed mean rise in autumn temperatures. They do not simulate a change in the shape of the distribution that would increase the probability of warm events under global warming. This implies that the warm autumn 2006 either was a very rare coincidence, or the local temperature rise is much stronger than modelled, or non-linear physics that is missing from these models

Summers, K.A. (ed.)

1991-03-01

This report summarizes the progress of the subcontracted photovoltaic (PV) research and development (R D) performed under the Photovoltaics Program at the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI). The SERI subcontracted PV research and development represents most of the subcontracted R D that is funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) National Photovoltaics Program. This report covers fiscal year (FY) 1990: October 1, 1989 through September 30, 1990. During FY 1990, the SERI PV program started to implement a new DOE subcontract initiative, entitled the Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology (PVMaT) Project.'' Excluding (PVMaT) because it was in a start-up phase, in FY 1990 there were 54 subcontracts with a total annualized funding of approximately $11.9 million. Approximately two-thirds of those subcontracts were with universities, at a total funding of over $3.3 million. Cost sharing by industry added another $4.3 million to that $11.9 million of SERI PV subcontracted R D. The six technical sections of this report cover the previously ongoing areas of the subcontracted program: the Amorphous Silicon Research Project, Polycrystalline Thin Films, Crystalline Silicon Materials Research, High-Efficiency Concepts, the New Ideas Program, and the University Participation Program. Technical summaries of each of the subcontracted programs discuss approaches, major accomplishments in FY 1990, and future research directions. Another section introduces the PVMaT project and reports the progress since its inception in FY 1990. Highlights of technology transfer activities are also reported.

1990-01-01

Periodic assessments of world uranium supply and demand have been conducted by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since the mid 1960s. Published every two years, the report URANIUM RESOURCES, PRODUCTION AND DEMAND, commonly referred to as the RED BOOK, has become an essential reference document for nuclear planners and policy makers in the international nuclear community. The latest Red Book, published in 1990, was based on data collected mainly in early 1989. Most of the data for 1989 were therefore provisional. The STATISTICAL UPDATE 1990 provides updated 1989 data collected in 1990 and provisional for 1990 [fr

Uma discussão sobre a contribuição das mulheres na disputa por soberania alimentar = A discussion about the contribution of women in the struggle for food sovereignty

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Gomes Junior, Newton Narciso

2013-01-01

Full Text Available Este artigo discute as possíveis contribuições das mulheres na luta pela construção da soberania alimentar. A metodologia consistiu na revisão teórica associando a categoria racionalidade à luta e interesse das mulheres do campo pela alimentação. Como resultado, obteve-se que, não obstante a histórica falta de visibilidade acerca do papel das mulheres na agricultura, sua postura como sujeitos políticos tem permitido afirmar sua identidade e articular seus interesses, inclusive na disputa por soberania alimentar. Partindo desses resultados, acredita-se que a articulação das mulheres pode trazer ganhos ao desestabilizar os papéis tradicionais de gênero no campo e defender seus interesses no âmbito da agricultura familiar

Recent changes in the trends of teen birth rates, 1981-2006.

Science.gov (United States)

Wingo, Phyllis A; Smith, Ruben A; Tevendale, Heather D; Ferré, Cynthia

2011-03-01

To explore trends in teen birth rates by selected demographics. We used birth certificate data and joinpoint regression to examine trends in teen birth rates by age (10-14, 15-17, and 18-19 years) and race during 1981-2006 and by age and Hispanic origin during 1990-2006. Joinpoint analysis describes changing trends over successive segments of time and uses annual percentage change (APC) to express the amount of increase or decrease within each segment. For teens younger than 18 years, the decline in birth rates began in 1994 and ended in 2003 (APC: -8.03% per year for ages 10-14 years; APC: -5.63% per year for ages 15-17 years). The downward trend for 18- and 19-year-old teens began earlier (1991) and ended 1 year later (2004) (APC: -2.37% per year). For each study population, the trend was approximately level during the most recent time segment, except for continuing declines for 18- and 19-year-old white and Asian/Pacific Islander teens. The only increasing trend in the most recent time segment was for 18- and 19-year-old Hispanic teens. During these declines, the age distribution of teens who gave birth shifted to slightly older ages, and the percentage whose current birth was at least their second birth decreased. Teen birth rates were generally level during 2003/2004-2006 after the long-term declines. Rates increased among older Hispanic teens. These results indicate a need for renewed attention to effective teen pregnancy prevention programs in specific populations. Copyright © 2011. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Estimating national landfill methane emissions: an application of the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Waste Model in Panama.

Science.gov (United States)

Weitz, Melissa; Coburn, Jeffrey B; Salinas, Edgar

2008-05-01

This paper estimates national methane emissions from solid waste disposal sites in Panama over the time period 1990-2020 using both the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Waste Model spreadsheet and the default emissions estimate approach presented in the 1996 IPCC Good Practice Guidelines. The IPCC Waste Model has the ability to calculate emissions from a variety of solid waste disposal site types, taking into account country- or region-specific waste composition and climate information, and can be used with a limited amount of data. Countries with detailed data can also run the model with country-specific values. The paper discusses methane emissions from solid waste disposal; explains the differences between the two methodologies in terms of data needs, assumptions, and results; describes solid waste disposal circumstances in Panama; and presents the results of this analysis. It also demonstrates the Waste Model's ability to incorporate landfill gas recovery data and to make projections. The former default method methane emissions estimates are 25 Gg in 1994, and range from 23.1 Gg in 1990 to a projected 37.5 Gg in 2020. The Waste Model estimates are 26.7 Gg in 1994, ranging from 24.6 Gg in 1990 to 41.6 Gg in 2020. Emissions estimates for Panama produced by the new model were, on average, 8% higher than estimates produced by the former default methodology. The increased estimate can be attributed to the inclusion of all solid waste disposal in Panama (as opposed to only disposal in managed landfills), but the increase was offset somewhat by the different default factors and regional waste values between the 1996 and 2006 IPCC guidelines, and the use of the first-order decay model with a time delay for waste degradation in the IPCC Waste Model.

Full Text Available Embora a eleição em dois estágios seja a forma mais comum de eleição presidencial no mundo, o comportamento do eleitor no pleito em dois estágios ainda não recebeu uma atenção condizente à que merece na literatura. Eleições em dois estágios ou turnos oferecem, aos consultores políticos e aos candidatos, dados ricos e factuais sobre a preferência do eleitor, revelada através do comportamento deste observado no primeiro turno, que pode guiar o planejamento e a implementação da campanha final. Essas eleições em dois turnos também permitem que analistas políticos apliquem seus modelos de escolha eleitoral ao comportamento real (ao invés da intenção de voto numa eleição multipartidária, e validem suas previsões na eleição bipartidária do segundo turno.

Full Text Available O artigo avalia a produção dos discursos do HGPE na TV dos partidos de dois candidatos à reeleição para a Presidência da República: Fernando Henrique (PSDB em 1998 e Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT em 2006. É objeto de reflexão indagar até que ponto as campanhas orientadas para reconduzir o mandatário ao poder têm estruturas estratégicas discursivas similares nos dois contextos, apesar de inscrições partidárias e orientações políticas distintas. Como metodologia, utiliza procedimentos para entender os elementos retóricos de cada campanha e apreender as estratégias de persuasão. Nota-se que o estímulo ao voto retrospectivo, o discurso a favor da continuidade da gestão administrativa, o lugar de autoridade do candidato-Presidente e a ênfase em discurso programático de cunho econômico são enunciados proferidos pelos mandatários nos dois contextos. É lícito supor, então, que a retórica da reeleição favorece posições privilegiadas na disputa.The article evaluates the production of the speeches of electoral advertising in TV of the two presidential candidates: Fernando Henrique (PSDB in 1998 and Luis Inácio Lula of Silva (PT in 2006. Therefore, the point is to investigate to what extent the campaigns show discursive strategic structures - similar in the two contexts - in spite of supporting registrations and different political orientations. The methodology uses procedures to understand the rhetorical elements of each campaign and persuasion strategies. In both campaigns one observes the incentive to the retrospective vote, the speech in favor of the continuity of the administration, the place of the candidate-president's authority, the emphasis in speech of economical issues. One can suggest that the rhetoric of the reelection favors positions in the electoral dispute.

Exports of petroleum products, 1990

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

1991-04-01

A summary is presented of exports of motor gasoline, middle distillate, aviation turbine fuel, heavy fuel oil, and partially processed oil from Canada for the 1990 calendar year. Exports of the above petroleum products averaged 34,000 m 3 /d in 1990, up 12% from 1989 levels. The increase reflects increased output from the Come By Chance refinery in Newfoundland. Motor gasoline exports increased 35% to 10,500 m 3 /d, reflecting refinery upgrading in eastern Canada. Export prices were generally in line with spot product prices in the USA. Spot prices rose sharply following the Kuwait crisis in August 1990 but fell again in November. The spot price for jet fuel rose more dramatically in that period than for other products, reflecting increased military demand. In winter 1989/90 and during the Kuwait conflict, the export price of heating oil tended to track the USA spot price. Petroleum products imports in 1990 were 18,500 m 3 /d, compared to 21,900 m 3 /d in 1988. Imports were lower partially as a result of higher crude runs in Quebec and a Quebec refinery expansion. Imports of heavy fuel oil in eastern Canada continued to be strong in comparison to the mid-1980s. The top single exporter in 1990, as in 1989, was Newfoundland Processing, with a volume of 4,506,400 m 3 . 13 figs., 5 tabs

The effective dose recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is the sum of organ equivalent doses weighted by corresponding tissue weighting factors, wT. ICRP is in the process of revising its 1990 recommendations on the effective dose where new values of organs and tissue weighting factors have been proposed and published in draft form for consultation by the radiological protection community. In its 5 June 2006 draft recommendations, new organs and tissues have been introduced in the effective dose which do not exist within the 1987 Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) phantom series (e.g., salivary glands). Recently, the investigators at University of Florida have updated the series of ORNL phantoms by implementing new organ models and adopting organ-specific elemental composition and densities. In this study, the effective dose changes caused by the transition from the current recommendation of ICRP Publication 60 to the 2006 draft recommendations were investigated for external photon irradiation across the range of ICRP reference ages (newborn, 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, 15-year and adult) and for six idealized irradiation geometries: anterior-posterior (AP), posterior-anterior (PA), left-lateral (LLAT), right-lateral (RLAT), rotational (ROT) and isotropic (ISO). Organ-absorbed doses were calculated by implementing the revised ORNL phantoms in the Monte Carlo radiation transport code, MCNPX2.5, after which effective doses were calculated under the 1990 and draft 2006 evaluation schemes of the ICRP. Effective doses calculated under the 2006 draft scheme were slightly higher than estimated under ICRP Publication 60 methods for all irradiation geometries exclusive of the AP geometry where an opposite trend was observed. The effective doses of the adult phantom were more greatly affected by the change in tissue weighting factors than that seen within the paediatric members of the phantom series. Additionally, dose conversion

Full Text Available En Chile existen 1.264 radios comerciales, el 99 por ciento de los chilenos escucha radio en un promedio de 4,6 horas diarias. El éxito financiero alcanzado en el negocio de la radiodifusión durante la Dictadura abrió el hambre a los capitales extranjeros lo que significó una concentración importante de la propiedad que no se conocía en Chile. Una fecha clave para la radiotelefonía chilena fue 1990 en que la naciente democracia abrió camino a los nuevos medios. Dos años más tarde la derecha política se levantó con el objetivo de modificar la ley de radiodifusión existente. Casi de manera gratuita se entregaron concesiones radiales por 25 años a los nacientes empresarios de la radiodifusión, esgrimiendo como pretexto el cambio de lo analógico a lo digital.

1991-01-01

At the beginning of the 1990/91 fiscal year the government of Canada announced that it would maintain the CANDU nuclear option, increase R and D funding for AECL Research, and authorize the start of negotiations to build a prototype CANDU 3 reactor. Later in the year AECL signed contracts with the Korea Electric Power Corporation to supply a second CANDU reactor for the Wolsung site. Consolidated net income was $7.8 million, after a $10.2 million loss in 1990. Revenue from nuclear power operations increased 11 percent to $187 million, with a 23 percent increase in the contribution from nuclear supply and services. Research and development expenditures rose to $293 million in 1991 from $259 million in 1990. The increase was mainly in cost-shared work on waste management, safety, health and environmental programs. Cost recovery revenue, principally from Ontario Hydro, increased to $87 million, reducing the federal government's share to 53 percent compared to 87 percent in 1985. Federal funding of R and D has been maintained at the 1990 level. The net expense of R and D operations was reduced to $11.0 million compared to $22.6 million in the previous year. Cash flow from all sources amounted to $47.9 million, leaving AECL with adequate working capital for the next year. In the future higher capital investment than previously anticipated will be required for waste management facilities associated with commercial isotope production. All figures are given in Canadian dollars

Enteric Methane Emissions Estimate for Livestock in South Africa for 1990–2014

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Mokhele Edmond Moeletsi

2017-05-01

Full Text Available Methane (CH4 from enteric fermentation is one of the main anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG emissions in South Africa. Livestock population data from 1990 to 2014 and emission factors were utilized in estimating CH4 emissions as per the 2006 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidelines. CH4 emissions originating from country-specific emission factors were compared with those calculated using IPCC default emission factors. Trends in emissions were then determined using the Man-Kendall trend test at the 5% significance level. The results showed annual total enteric CH4 emissions exceeding 1171.56 Gg (in 1995 with an average (1990 to 2014 of 1227.96 Gg. Non-dairy cattle are the highest emitters with an average of 873.07 Gg (71.10% while sheep are the second highest with 227.61 Gg (18.54%. Other contributors are dairy cattle, goats, horses, pigs and donkeys with an average (percentage contribution of 85.94 Gg (7.00%, 32.06 Gg (2.61%, 4.86 Gg (0.40%, 2.77 Gg (0.23% and 1.65 Gg (0.13%, respectively. The trend analysis revealed positive trends for all the livestock categories, except sheep and goats which showed negative trends, consequently balancing out. The results obtained for the year 2014 were 37% higher than the enteric CH4 emissions in 1990, 1994 and 2000 inventories and the emissions estimated entirely from IPCC default emission factors. This demonstrates the need for the development of Tier 2 emission factors for key category sectors such as cattle and sheep in South Africa. To fully adhere to the principles of GHG inventory accounting, there has to be total livestock inclusivity and major improvements in activity data collection.

Koerner, C.

1991-01-01

The Obrigheim nuclear power station was operated at full load from January 1 through May 25, 1990, generating 1.236 GWh of electrical energy in 3.475 operating hours. The Obrigheim nuclear power station thus achieved during this period of 145 days in 1990 an operating availability of 100%. Since its commissioning in October 1968, the Obrigheim reactor station has been operating for 158.341 hours, generating 53.361 GWh (gross), and from test operation started in March 1969 up to the end of 1990, all in all 53.249 GWh have been generated in 157.561 operating hours, which means an availability time ratio of 82.3 %, and a capacity factor of 80.1%. The plant was shut down in 1990 for the 21st refuelling operation including inspection and repair work, for a fictitious period of 942 hours. In addition, power operation was stopped by an order of the supervisory authority for another 4.343 hours, so that the plant remained disconnected from the grid between May 26 and December 31, 1990. In the first part of the year 1990, until May 26, the plant had an excellent availability time ratio and thus contributed about 2.5% of the safe, economic and environmentally sound electricity supplies in Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Estimated discharge of treated wastewater in Florida, 1990

Science.gov (United States)

Marella, R.L.

1994-01-01

According to the Florida Department of Environ- mental Protection, 5,100 wastewater treatment systems were in operation during 1990. Of this total, 72 percent were domestic wastewater facilities and 28 percent were industrial waste- water facilities. The number of wastewater systems inventoried for 1990 was 1,062 (systems that treated and discharged more than 0.01 Mgal/d or had a plant capacity of greater than 0.04 Mgal/d. Based on this inventory, the estimated discharge of treated wastewater in Florida during 1990 totaled 1,638 million gallons per day. Approxi- mately 65 percent of this water was discharged to surface water during 1990 and the remaining 35 percent was discharged to ground water. Discharge to surface water includes effluent outfalls into the Atlantic Ocean (32 percent), while the re- maining (68 percent) is discharged into the Gulf of Mexico, bays, rivers, wetlands, and other surface water bodies throughout Florida. Discharge to ground-water includes treated effluent outfalls to land application systems (reuse systems and spray fields), drain fields, percolation ponds (51 percent), and to injection wells (49 percent). An estimated 322 million gallons per day of the treated domestic and industrial wastewater was reused during 1990. Discharge of treated domestic wastewater from the 994 systems inventoried in Florida during 1990 totaled 1,353 million gallons per day and served an estimated 8.58 million people (66 percent of the population of Florida in 1990). The remaining 34 percent of the popu- lation (4.36 million) are served by the 2,700 smaller domestic wastewater systems or have individual septic tanks. In 1990, there were 1.56 million septic tanks in Florida. Discharge of industrial wastewater was inventoried for 68 systems in 1990 and totaled 285 million gallons per day. Discharge of domestic wastewater in- creased more than 20 percent and industrial wastewater discharge increased 5 percent from 1985 to 1990. (USGS)

In October of 1990, Congress enacted a new set of amendments to the Clean Air Act. These amendments are longer and more complex than any previous environmental legislation. In enacting the 1990 Amendments, Congress did not evaluate the results of earlier efforts at air quality regulation. Rather, Congress accepted what it had created in 1970 and reinforced in 1977, and proceeded to build on that foundation. As a result, the 1990 Amendments create substantial new regulatory responsibilities, while leaving in place most of the pre-existing system of air quality control. The chapter highlights the key provisions of the 1990 Amendments, and discusses their relationship to the 1970 and 1977 Amendments to the Act. Included are changes in the requirements for the control of carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, particulates, mobile sources, air toxics and acid rain

Radioactivity in foodstuffs 1990

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

1991-01-01

The average per capita radiation dose received by the Norwegian population due to intake of foodstuffs in 1990 was between 0.03 and 0.06 mSv. This was about the same level as in previous years since the Chernobyl accident. Certain individuals with special dietary habits (consumption of large amounts of freshwater fish and reindeer), and who live in heavily contaminated areas, received higher doses (appr. 1 mSv). In 1990 dietary advice was maintained with regard to people consuming large amounts of reindeer meat and/or game and freshwater fish. The aim is still that no person shall be exposed to an annual dose of more than 1 mSv through food. The present report reviews the data concerning radioactivity levels in dairy products, meat and fish for 1990. Levels were similar to those recorded in the previous year, but considerably lower than those in 1988. The report also presents some data from a 5-year radio-ecological research programme carried out by the Norwegian Institute of Nature Research (NINA). In general, levels in wild fish and game were below the intervention limit of 6000 Bq/kg, apart from a few reindeer herds and fish from a few localities. 8 figs. 6 tabs

Para tanto, apresentamos a trajetória dessa política, destacando o período mais recente. Ao analisar documentos oficiais e bibliografias especializadas, constatamos que a criação da Secretaria Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia para a Inclusão Social deve ser reconhecida como o surgimento de um novo espaço de disputa, ainda que assimétrica e frágil, no qual os atores antes excluídos do processo de conformação da agenda da PCT podem agora tomar parte. --- Science and Technology Policy and Demands for Social Inclusion in the Lula Administration (2003-2006 --- Abstract --- This paper is based on the perception that there has been increasing concern towards social issues in Brazil, particularly that of social inclusion, during the Lula Administration. The main objective of this paper is to analyze to what degree the agenda of science and technology policy has incorporated similar changes or concerns. We therefore explore the trajectory of this policy, in particular the more recent period. Based on the study of official documents and specialized references, we note that the creation of the National Secretary of Science and Technology for Social Inclusion should be recognized as the emergence of a new field for political struggle, albeit still asymmetrical and frail, in which previously excluded actors may now take part in the agenda setting.

This is the national report for Norway in the EU/SAVE project ''Indicators for Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Target setting (ODYSSEE)''. The report deals with energy use and energy efficiency in Norway 1990-2000 (2001 for overall energy use). Final energy use per Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was reduced by approximately 1.9% pr year in the period 1990 to 2001. The energy efficiency improvement has been calculated to 0.6% pr year, while the role of structural changes has been 1.3% pr year. A detailed sector analysis has been done, applying Laspeyres indices to attribute changes in energy use to activity, structure or intensity (efficiency). Aggregating sectors, we have found a total efficiency improvement of approximately 11 TWh from 1990 to 2000. (author)

Full Text Available O objetivo deste artigo é examinar os debates recentes sobre os fatores que explicam a estabilidade democrática no Brasil. Com base no conceito de socialização política examina-se o impacto que as eleições têm no fortalecimento democrático e a importância de normas e valores para o futuro da democracia. Considera-se que as eleições presidenciais no contexto político brasileiro se constituem em um momento importante do processo de socialização política. Para verificar esta proposição este trabalho utiliza como base de dados as pesquisas do Estudo Eleitoral Brasileiro (ESEB de 2002, 2006 e 2010. É analisado se o fator idade gera diferenças em relação aos valores e atitudes manifestados pelos entrevistados com um tempo maior de experiência democrática, contribuindo na formação de uma cultura política congruente com a democracia, ou se são definidos pelo contexto eleitoral, tendo como base a divisão da população em coortes por faixa etária e na escolha eleitoral em cada pleito. Com base nos dados analisados identifica-se uma mudança da cultura política em direção à valorização da democracia, mas com a manutenção de contradições que indicam a manutenção de uma cultura híbrida, que não favorece a democracia representativa poliárquica.The main objective of this article is to examine the recent debates about the factors that explain democratic stability in Brazil.

Ensuite, on examine les modèles adoptés par quelques-unes des démocraties latino-américaines, présentant surtout le modèle adopté par le Brésil, et ses particularités. On conclut que, au Brésil, il existe dans la gouvernance électorale une composition atypique d'éléments tels que: concentration des activités de cette gouvernance dans un seul Organisme Électoral (OE; exclusion du pouvoir législatif quant à l'indication et à la sélection des membres de l'OE, ainsi que l'adoption de la "règle d'intersection" avec la Cour Constitutionnelle.

The present Danish dioxin air emission inventory shows that the emission has been reduced from 68.6 g I-TEQ in 1990 to 22.0 g I-TEQ in 2004, or about 68% over this period. Most of the significant reductions have been achieved in the industrial sector, where emissions have been reduced from 14.67 g I-TEQ in 1990 to 0.17 g I-TEQ in 2004; a reduction of almost 99%. Lower emissions from steel and aluminium reclamation industries form the major part of the reduction within industry. Emissions from waste incineration reduced from 32.5 g I-TEQ in 1990 to 2.1 g ITEQ in 2004; which is approx. 94%. This is due to installation of dioxin abatement equipment in incineration plants. The most important source of emission in 2004 is residential wood combustion, at 8.5 g I-TEQ, or around 40% of the total emission. In 2004, accidental fires, which are estimated to emit 6.1 g I-TEQ/year, are the second most important source, contributing with around 28% of the total emission. The present dioxin emission inventory for Denmark shows how emissions in 2004 come from sources other than waste incineration plants and industry, which were the largest sources in 1990. (au)

This annual report summarizes previously unreported data collected to fulfill the contractual obligations for BPA project No.1990-044-00, 'Coeur d'Alene Subbasin Fisheries Habitat Enhancement', during the 2006 calendar year. Even though the contract performance period for this project crosses fiscal and calendar years, the timing of data collection and analysis, as well as implementation of restoration projects, lends itself to this reporting schedule. The 2006 performance period marked the first year that BPA implemented its Process Improvement Initiative with the Pisces system serving as the vehicle for developing statements of work and tracking project performance. This document attempts to provide some consistency between the project objectives, around which past reports have been structured, and the new work element format adopted for use in Pisces. The report is formatted into three primary sections that respectively provide results and discussion of: (1) monitoring and evaluation of biological and physical habitat indicators; (2) implementation of restoration and enhancement projects; and (3) education and outreach work performed during 2006. The relevant work elements and/or milestones found in the statement of work are listed under these section headings and described in the body of the report.

Globalización de la política pública: mediación neoliberal en Colombia, política económica, 1990-2006

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Adolfo Rodríguez Bernal

2007-01-01

Full Text Available La transnacionalización de la política pública en la década de los 80, es resultado de tres cambios notables operados en el orden mundial: reconfiguración del escenario global, en lo conflictual geográfico y económico, reordenamiento en el modelo de mercado y transformación en el ciclo de política pública. Estos cambios están asociados a la caracterización del espacio geográfico económico, desigual y desequilibrado; a la construcción del nuevo referencial del mercado en la reorientación de la acción pública y al cambio en la expansión del ciclo de política pública en el escenario mundial. El modelo global de mercado, en su proyección transnacional, ha servido de directriz a la mediación de la política económica de los gobiernos neoliberales en Colombia, 1990-2006, en el proceso de su adopción, adaptación y ajuste con el fin de garantizar su ejecución e implementación. La aceptación obligada o la imposición “negociada” de la política económica nacional pasa por la adopción de política financiera, condicionada por el endeudamiento externo; la adaptación de la transferencia de tecnología como política productiva; y, la cesión del mercado interior a las ETN. Las tendencias observadas, fundamentan la nueva estructura de mercado con capacidad explicativa de sus resultados, en escenarios financieros, productivos y comerciales. Las consecuencias para Colombia se traducen en crecimiento del endeudamiento financiero, acelerada desindustrialización del país y reducción del mercado ante las transnacionales. En esta situación, todo proyecto nacional resulta utópico por la pérdida de soberanía económica para la industrialización, para el manejo y control de los recursos naturales y para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y espacios del mercado necesarios a su avance.

Macro patterns of internal migration in Indonesia, 1971-1990.

Science.gov (United States)

Alatas, S

1993-12-01

Indonesia's population mobility rate is still relatively low. In 1990 only 8.25% of Indonesians lived outside the provinces where they were born. In contrast, according to the US censuses, since the 1870s no fewer than 20% of Americans did. The level of population mobility is even lower for inter-island and interregional migration. In 1990 only 4.29% of Indonesians lived outside their home islands or regions. The level of urbanization has also had an impact, with rural-urban migration increasing from 17.18% in 1971 to 22.38% in 1980, and to 30.93% in 1990. Between 1971 and 1990 the increase amounted to 20.34% in Jakarta, Surbaya, Bandung, Medan, and Semarang. Migration occurs because people want to improve their lives. The reasons for migration include: 1) to continue education, 2) to search for a better job, 3) to obtain better wages or income, 4) to accompany parents or spouse, 5) to secure political support, and 6) to escape from unpleasant conditions. The 1990 census data on migration were derived from 1) province of birth, 2) province of previous residence, 3) duration of residence at the current province, and 4) province of residence 5 years prior to the census. Interprovincial life time migration increased in Indonesia from 5.8 million in 1971 to 10.2 million in 1980 and to 14.8 million in 1990. Most of the provinces of Sumatra and Kalimantan experienced net positive migration in which in-migration exceeded out-migration. On the other hand, migrants from Jakarta to West Java accounted for 75.6% or 794,987 out of the 1,052,234 people who moved out of the capital city. In 1971 as much as 31.18% of migration across provincial borders headed for DKI Jakarta. In 1990 DKI Jakarta and West Java accommodated 37.75% of the interprovincial migrants. Recent in, out, and net migration declined 2.8 million between 1980 and 1985, but it went up to 5.3 million between 1985 and 1990. Between 1985 and 1990 interprovincial migration towards urban areas amounted to 3.2 million

The next agreed phase, 1991 to 1993, will see the list of participants expanded to include two new OECD countries, Spain and Switzerland. Key factors under investigation in the fuel and materials technology area include the operational reliablility of reactor fuel and changes in material properties under varying conditions of radiation and water chemistry. Progress has been satisfactory on the fuel and materials test program, and about 40 different fuel element designs have been tested. The information technology activities centre on an advanced control room coupled to a full scale simulator of a nuclear power station of the pressurized water type (PWT). The experiments, aimed at developing new informations systems for energy and process industries, are carried out by process operators from the Halden reactor. During 1990, an extensive program has been carried out to test a computer-based operation procedure system. The results show that this system, in certain operational situations, provides the operator with better information support than conventional handbooks of written procedures. A number of areas in which the system could be improved were also identified, and the development of a new ''second generation'' system was started in 1990. The new system will be implemented on UNIX-based work stations, using so-called open system standards in order to facilitate transfer of the system to different users. Testing has also been started on an operator support system for diagnosis on the primary causes of plant disturbances. 22 figs

Origins, social roots and active joining from the sindicalist force to neoliberalism O sindicalismo brasileiro em disputa nos anos de 1990: origem, raízes sociais e adesão ativa da força sindical ao neoliberalismo

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Patrícia Vieira Trópia

2009-04-01

Full Text Available This article analyzes the origins, the social roots and the active joining from the Syndicalist Force to Neoliberalism. The Syndicalist Force was born from the confluence of two Right-wing politics which act inside the Syndicalism: the traditional “peleguismo” (slang and the “results syndicalism”. These two Rightwing politics got united when the first Neoliberal government reached the power in Brazil in the beginning of the 1990’s, founding, therefore, the Syndicalist Force. The Syndicalist Force, as a representative of the private industrial sector, mostly, has found an echo for the Neoliberal proposals and also for some aspects of the Neoliberal ideology, mostly the diffuse critics to the public employment rights. The central supported actively the privatization politics, the non-ruling of the working relationships and the cut of social expenses, building itself as an active social force of the Neoliberal governments from the 90’s. Keywords: Neoliberalism. Syndicalist force. Syndicalism. Este artigo analisa a origem, as raízes sociais e adesão ativa da Força Sindical ao neoliberalismo. A Força Sindical nasceu da confluência de duas correntes de direita atuantes no sindicalismo: o peleguismo tradicional e o “sindicalismo de resultados”. Estas duas correntes se uniram quando o primeiro governo neoliberal chegou ao poder no Brasil no início de 1990, fundando, então, a Força Sindical. A Força Sindical, por representar sindicatos do setor privado industrial, majoritariamente, encontrou eco para as propostas neoliberais e para aspectos da ideologia neoliberal, sobretudo a crítica difusa aos direitos do funcionalismo público. A central apoiou ativamente as políticas de privatização, desregulamentação das relações de trabalho e redução de gastos sociais, constituindo-se, assim, como força social ativa dos governos neoliberais na década de 1990. Palavras-chave: Neoliberalismo. Força Sindical. Sindicalismo.

Sentidos laborales en disputa. Un estudio sobre el caso de los pasantes universitarios en Argentina desde la perspectiva de Pierre Bourdieu.

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Marina Adamini

2013-08-01

Full Text Available Las pasantías universitarias constituyen un dispositivo de inserción laboral formativo dispuesto por el Estado argentino para los estudiantes que están atravesando los últimos años de su carrera. Estas prácticas se encuentran insertas en un doble campo del espacio social: el campoeducativo y el campo laboral. Desde el discurso estatal y empresarial, las pasantías son representadas como prácticas formativas que no implican ninguna tipo de relación laboral entre el empleador y los pasantes. Esta situación los exime de beneficios sociales propios de una relación de trabajo formal (como aportes jubilatorios, aguinaldo, licencias y derecho sindical y convierten a la pasantía en una figura contractual, menos costosa legal y monetariamente, que favorece la precarización laboral. Frente a ello, los pasantes se reconocen como trabajadores y, en función a ello, han desplegados diferentes prácticas de resistencia y organización colectiva para lograr su reconocimiento laboral. El objetivo de este artículo será indagar, a la luz de la categoría bourdieana de “campo”, las disputas que se dan entre los pasantes, los empleadores y el Estado en relación a la representación laboral de la pasantía universitaria. Se recurrirá a un abordaje de tipo cualitativo, buscando recuperar los discursos de los principales agentes en juego, por medio de entrevistas en profundidad y análisis de documentos legales y periodísticos.

Tools for improving safety management in the Norwegian Fishing Fleet occupational accidents analysis period of 1998-2006.

Science.gov (United States)

Aasjord, Halvard L

2006-01-01

Reporting of human accidents in the Norwegian Fishing Fleet has always been very difficult because there has been no tradition in making reports on all types of working accidents among fishermen, if the accident does not seem to be very serious or there is no economical incentive to report. Therefore reports are only written when the accidents are serious or if the fisherman is reported sick. Reports about an accident are sent to the insurance company, but another report should also be sent to the Norwegian Maritime Directorate (NMD). Comparing of data from one former insurance company and NMD shows that the real numbers of injuries or serious accidents among Norwegian fishermen could be up to two times more than the numbers reported to NMD. Special analyses of 1690 accidents from the so called PUS-database (NMD) for the period 1998-2002, show that the calculated risk was 23.6 accidents per 1000 man-years. This is quite a high risk level, and most of the accidents in the fishing fleet were rather serious. The calculated risks are highest for fishermen on board the deep sea fleet of trawlers (28.6 accidents per 1000 man-years) and also on the deep sea fleet of purse seiners (28.9 accidents per 1000 man-years). Fatal accidents over a longer period of 51.5 years from 1955 to 2006 are also roughly analysed. These data from SINTEF's own database show that the numbers of fatal accidents have been decreasing over this long period, except for the two periods 1980-84 and 1990-94 where we had some casualties with total losses of larger vessels with the loss of most of the crew, but also many others typical work accidents on smaller vessels. The total numbers of registered Norwegian fishermen and also the numbers of man-years have been drastically reduced over the 51.5 years from 1955 to 2006. The risks of fatal accidents have been very steady over time at a high level, although there has been a marked risk reduction since 1990-94. For the last 8.5-year period of January 1998

Information is summarized on total suspended particulate levels and dustfall from 1975-1990 for the Lumby-Lavington area. Both total suspended particulate and dustfall levels were high relative to both other sites in the province and to provincial air quality objectives. The mean total suspended particulate level for 1983-1990 was 70 μg/m 3 compared to the provincial A standard level of 60 μg/m 3 . From 1975-1990, at 6 of the 7 dustfall samplers in the area, over 80% of the total dustfall measures exceeded the provincial A standard of 1.75 mg/m 2 /day. There was no demonstrable relationship between dustfall and mean monthly precipitation. Dustfall decreased with distance from a burner. Levels of combustible dustfall and total suspended particulates in the Lumby area are related, but there was no similar relationship between combustible dustfall in Lumby and suspended particulates in Vernon. There was a strong positive correlation between combustible dustfall measured at each of the Lumby samplers. There was no simple demonstrable relationship between dustfall and wind conditions. 8 refs., 20 figs., 6 tabs

Full Text Available RESUMOEste artigo analisa um dos possíveis canais através dos quais as elites incumbentes alinhadas com a ditadura brasileira foram capazes de reter o seu poder político durante a democratização na década de 1980. Com base em dados do PNAD e resultados de eleições legislativas, verificamos primeiro que os eleitores analfabetos que viviam nos estados que foram dominados pelo partido de elite durante a ditadura tinham uma probabilidade maior de se registar para votar do que aqueles que viviam em outros estados. Investigamos então se esta correlação positiva representa uma reação das elites incumbentes a fim de manter o seu poder político através da manipulação do eleitor ou se representa uma reação destes eleitores, a fim de tirar o poder das oligarquias. Constatamos que, em estados dominados pelo partido de elite, os analfabetos apresentaram maior probabilidade de estarem politicamente desinteressados e desinformados. Nossos resultados sugerem que uma reação politicamente motivada a partir desta população é implausível.

Increasing educational disparities in premature adult mortality, Wisconsin, 1990-2000.

Science.gov (United States)

Reither, Eric N; Peppard, Paul E; Remington, Patrick L; Kindig, David A

2006-10-01

Public health agencies have identified the elimination of health disparities as a major policy objective. The primary objective of this study is to assess changes in the association between education and premature adult mortality in Wisconsin, 1990-2000. Wisconsin death records (numerators) and US Census data (denominators) were compiled to estimate mortality rates among adults (25-64 years) in 1990 and 2000. Information on the educational status, sex, racial identification, and age of subjects was gathered from these sources. The effect of education on mortality rate ratios in 1990 and 2000 was assessed while adjusting for age, sex, and racial identification. Education exhibited a graded effect on mortality rates, which declined most among college graduates from 1990 to 2000. The relative rate of mortality among persons with less than a high school education compared to persons with a college degree increased from 2.4 to 3.1 from 1990-2000-an increase of 29%. Mortality disparities also increased, although to a lesser extent, among other educational groups. Despite renewed calls for the elimination of health disparities, evidence suggests that educational disparities in mortality increased from 1990 to 2000.

In this report, we have presented data in four sections: (1) THE GEYSERS HISTORICAL UPDATE 1990-2010 - A historical update of the primary developments at The Geysers between 1990 and 2010 which uses as its start point Section IIA of the Monograph - 'Historical Setting and History of Development' that included articles by James Koenig and Susan Hodgson. (2) THE GEYSERS COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE LIST 1990-2010 - In this section we present a rather complete list of technical articles and technical related to The Geysers that were issued during the period 1990-2010. The list was compiled from many sources including, but not limited to scientific journals and conference proceedings. While the list was prepared with care and considerable assistance from many geothermal colleagues, it is very possible that some papers could have been missed and we apologize to their authors in advance. The list was subdivided according to the following topics: (1) Field characterization; (2) Drilling; (3) Field development and management; (4) Induced seismicity; (5) Enhanced Geothermal Systems; (6) Power production and related issues; (7) Environment-related issues; and (8) Other topics. (3) GRC 2010 ANNUAL MEETING GEYSERS PAPERS - Included in this section are the papers presented at the GRC 2010 Annual Meeting that relate to The Geysers. (4) ADDITIONAL GEYSERS PAPERS 1990-2010 - Eighteen additional technical papers were included in this publication in order to give a broad background to the development at The Geysers after 1990. The articles issued during the 1990-2010 period were selected by colleagues considered knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. We forwarded the list of references given in Section 2 to them asking to send us with their selections with a preference, because of limited time, to focus on those papers that would not require lengthy copyright approval. We then chose the articles presented in this section with the purpose of providing the broadest possible

Public-supply water use in Kansas, 1990-2012

Science.gov (United States)

Kenny, Joan F.

2014-01-01

This fact sheet describes water-use data collection and quantities of surface water and groundwater diverted for public supply in Kansas for the years 1990 through 2012. Data used in this fact sheet are from the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s Division of Water Resources and the Kansas Water Office. Water used for public supply represents about 10 percent of all reported water withdrawals in Kansas. Between 1990 and 2012, annual withdrawals for public supply ranged from a low of 121 billion gallons in 1993 to a high of 159 billion gallons in 2012. Differences in annual withdrawals were associated primarily with climatic fluctuations. Six suppliers distributed about one-half of the total water withdrawn for public supply, and nearly three-quarters of the surface water. Surface water represented between 52 and 61 percent of total annual withdrawals for public supply. The proportion of surface water obtained through contracts from Federal reservoirs increased from less than 5 percent in the 1990s to 8 percent in 2011 and 2012. More than 99 percent of the reported water withdrawn for public supply in Kansas in 2012 was metered, which was an increase from 92 percent in 1990. State population increased steadily from 2.5 million people in 1990 to 2.9 million in 2012. Recent estimates indicate that about 95 percent of the total population was served by public water supply; the remainder obtained water from other sources such as private wells. Average per capita water use as calculated for State conservation planning purposes varied by region of the State. The smallest regional average water use for the years 1990–2012 was 98 gallons per person per day in easternmost Kansas, and the largest regional average water use was 274 gallons per person per day in westernmost Kansas.

Although occupational benzene exposure of refinery workers has been studied for decades, no extensive analysis of historical industrial hygiene data has been performed focusing on airborne concentrations at specific refineries and tasks. This study characterizes benzene exposures at the ExxonMobil Baytown, TX, refinery from 1978 to 2006 to understand the variability in workers' exposures over time and during different job tasks. Exposures were grouped by operational status, job title, and tasks. More than 9000 industrial hygiene air samples were evaluated; approximately 4000 non-task (> 3 h) and 1000 task-related (work areas, and 16 task bins (when applicable). Process technicians were sampled most frequently, resulting in the following mean benzene concentrations by area: hydrofiner (n=245, mean=1.3 p.p.m.), oil movements (n=286, mean=0.23 p.p.m.), reformer (n=575, mean=0.10 p.p.m.), tank farm (n=9, mean=0.65 p.p.m.), waste treatment (n=446, mean=0.13 p.p.m.), and other areas (n=460, mean=0.062 p.p.m.). The most frequently sampled task was sample collection (n=218, mean=0.40 p.p.m.). Job title and area did not significantly impact task-related exposures. Airborne concentrations were significantly lower after 1990 than before 1990. Results of this task-focused study may be useful when analyzing benzene exposures at other refineries.

Filipinos comprise about 18% of the Asian/Pacific Islander American (APIA) population and are increasing. Few studies have examined Filipino current smoking prevalence rates (CSPR) and none have described trends over time. Trends in CSPR were estimated for Filipinos and non-Hispanic whites (NHW) from 1990-2002 from the California Tobacco Surveys (N>42,000/year). CSPR for Filipino males declined: 23.7% (95% CI: 18.7, 28.7) in 1990 to 18.7% (15.3, 22.1) in 2002 (pFilipino women was non-significant (p=0.24), 9.8% (5.5, 14.1) in 1990 and 7.7% (5.3, 10.1) in 2002. During the same period, CSPR among NHW males declined: 24.4% (23.8, 25.0) in 1990 to 18.8% (18.1, 19.4) in 2002 (pFilipinos suggest that English language use is associated with current smoking among females (pFilipino current smokers declined similarly to male NHW from 1990-2002; female rates were lower but did not decline. Future smoking prevention and cessation programs would benefit by taking into account important differences in smoking rates between genders and age groups.

Despite global efforts to improve maternal health, many developing countries including Pakistan have failed to achieve the target of a 75% reduction in maternal deaths by 2015. Addressing socioeconomic inequalities in access to emergency obstetric care is crucial for reducing the maternal mortality rate. This study was done to examine the time trends and socioeconomic inequalities in the utilization of cesarean section (C-section) in Pakistan during 1990-2013. We used data from the Pakistan Demographic and Health Surveys (PDHS) conducted during 1990 to 2013. All these surveys are nationally representative surveys of ever-married women aged 15-49 years with a sample size of 6611, 10,023, and 13,558 women in 1990-1991, 2006-2007, and 2012-2013, respectively, with an overall response rate of over 90%. The unit of analysis for this study was women with their most recent live birth in the five years preceding the surveys. Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to investigate the prevalence of cesarean sections according to selected sociodemographic characteristics of women. C-section rates were found to have increased during this period, with an especially significant rise from 2.7% in 1990-1991 to 15.8% in 2012-2013 with lower utilization among the non-educated women (7.5%), compared with the women with higher education (40.3%). C-section rates ranged from 5.5% in the poorest women to 35.3% in the richest women. Only 11.5% of the rural women had a C-section compared to 25.6% of the urban women. A greater likelihood of having a cesarean section was observed in the richest, highly educated, and urban-living women while there was no significant difference observed in cesarean section rates between the private and public sectors in all three surveys. To improve maternal health, routine monitoring and evaluation of the provision of emergency obstetric services are needed to address the underuse of C-section in poor and rural areas and

This report provides information about environmental programs during the calendar year (CY) of 2006 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Menlo Park, California. Activities that span the calendar year; i.e., stormwater monitoring covering the winter season of 2006/2007 (October 2006 through May 2007), are also included. Production of an annual site environmental report (ASER) is a requirement established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) for all management and operating (M and O) contractors throughout the DOE complex. SLAC is a federally-funded research and development center with Stanford University as the M and O contractor. SLAC continued to follow the path to self-declare an environmental management system under DOE Order 450.1, 'Environmental Protection Program' and effectively applied environmental management in meeting the site's integrated safety and environmental management system goals. For normal daily activities, all SLAC managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that proper procedures are followed so that Worker safety and health are protected; The environment is protected; and Compliance is ensured. Throughout 2006, SLAC focused on these activities through the SLAC management systems. These systems were also the way SLAC approached implementing 'greening of the government' initiatives such as Executive Order 13148. The management systems at SLAC are effective, supporting compliance with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. The SLAC Office of Assurance was created during 2006 in response to DOE Order 226.1. During 2006, there were no reportable releases to the environment from SLAC operations, and there were no Notice of Violations issued to SLAC from any of the regulatory agencies that oversee SLAC. In addition, many improvements in waste minimization, recycling, stormwater drain system, groundwater restoration, and SLAC's chemical management system (CMS) were continued during 2006 to better manage

Full Text Available OBJETIVO: Describir la mortalidad por suicidios en México en 2001, así como los principales cambios en los métodos de suicidio y en la estructura por edades y sexos que se han presentado desde 1990, tanto a escala nacional como por entidad federativa. MÉTODOS: Para este estudio descriptivo se utilizaron como fuentes de informaci��n los registros oficiales de mortalidad del Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática para el período de 1990 a 2001. Para calcular las tasas de mortalidad se usaron las poblaciones estimadas por el Consejo Nacional de Población en 2002. Se describieron la mortalidad por sexo, por grupo de edad y por entidad federativa, así como los cambios observados en el período de 1990­ 2001 en las tasas y los métodos de suicidio. Para estandarizar las tasas se empleó el método directo, y como estándar se tomaron los datos de población del año 2000. Las comparaciones estadísticas de las tendencias según el grupo de edad y el sexo se llevaron a cabo mediante una prueba de paralelismo utilizando el estadígrafo F. El nivel de significación estadística de las diferencias en los métodos de suicidio se determinó mediante la prueba de ji al cuadrado. RESULTADOS: Durante el año 2001 se registraron 3 784 suicidios (3 110 de ellos en hombres y 674 en mujeres, lo que representa una tasa de 3,72 muertes por suicidios por cada 100 000 habitantes, en una población total nacional de 101,8 millones de habitantes. Los estados con mayor mortalidad por suicidios fueron Campeche y Tabasco (9,68 y 8,47 por 100 000 habitantes, respectivamente.

Spatio-Temporal Dimensions of Child Poverty in America, 1990-2010.

Call, Maia A; Voss, Paul R

2016-01-01

The persistence of childhood poverty in the United States, a wealthy and developed country, continues to pose both an analytical dilemma and public policy challenge, despite many decades of research and remedial policy implementation. In this paper, our goals are twofold, though our primary focus is methodological. We attempt both to examine the relationship between space, time, and previously established factors correlated with childhood poverty at the county level in the continental United States as well as to provide an empirical case study to demonstrate an underutilized methodological approach. We analyze a spatially consistent dataset built from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. Censuses, and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey. Our analytic approach includes cross-sectional spatial models to estimate the reproduction of poverty for each of the reference years as well as a fixed effects panel data model, to analyze change in child poverty over time. In addition, we estimate a full space-time interaction model, which adjusts for spatial and temporal variation in these data. These models reinforce our understanding of the strong regional persistence of childhood poverty in the U.S. over time and suggest that the factors impacting childhood poverty remain much the same today as they have in past decades.

Oil pipeline performance review, 1990

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

1990-01-01

This paper reviews the environmental performance of Canadian oil pipelines in spill prevention and control in 1990 and compares it with that in 1989. In 1990, in-service length of the systems reporting increased to 34,907 km. Traffic volume was 235 million m 3 . Failures dropped 16% from 1989 to 36. Equipment failures accounted for 47%, corrosion for 22% and operational error for 19% of the failures. Repair, damage and clean-up costs were considerably higher at $5,302,000, of which one external corrosion failure contributed $4,500,000. The average spill size was 130 m 3 with 72 m 3 recovered for a 55.4% recovery rate. No injuries resulted from the failures. An 11 year statistical summary of oil pipeline performance data is included. 3 figs., 5 tabs

The world energy demand in 2006: Confirmed increase in energy consumptions in a context of soaring crude oil prices; but economic growth is twice faster - June, 10 2007

Confirmed increase in energy consumptions in a context of soaring crude oil prices; but economic growth is twice faster. According to the latest estimates by Enerdata, The world energy demand growth remains sustained in 2006, but twice slower than the GDP's growth, probably due to high energy prices on the international market. Oil: The oil demand, very captive, confirms once again its low elasticity to prices. 71% of the world oil product demand is concentrated on transport and petro-chemical sectors (77% in Europe, +13 points since 1990; 89% in North America). Gas/Electricity: Gas demand growth in 2006 is driven by Asia and the CIS, obvious price effects in the European Union. The CIS regains its position in the world production growth (22% in 2006 against 13% in 2005 and 33% in 2004). The power generation growth is more and more dominated by China and other Asian countries. The world electricity demand increases in the same proportions as in 2005 and 2004: 4%/year. Coal: Coal accounts for half of the world increase in energy consumption in 2006. China still accounts for 72% of the coal consumption, India for 10%, the rest of Asia 8% the rest of the world 10%.

2016-06-01

Full Text Available Agricultural land covers more than half the area of metropolitan areas in Poland, and is therefore particularly prone to the influences of the processes associated with their development. The aim of the study was to analyse changes in agricultural land cover within the metropolitan areas of Poland for the years 1990–2012; and to capture their dynamics, types and directions. The percentage share of the total study area, for each of the forms of agricultural land cover and their changes were traced, with the spatial distribution of the changes also being determined. The results of the study show that in metropolitan areas, agricultural land cover is undergoing transformations that do not result in the loss of agricultural lands, or that involve a decrease in surface area due to their change into anthropogenic forms of land cover. The greatest transitions occurred between 2000 and 2006 and were observed in the outer zones of metropolitan areas.

Research suggests that the contents of delusions in schizophrenia are influenced by culture and social environment. However, few studies have investigated the chronological change of such delusions within a society. To investigate specifically the changes in the persecutory delusions of schizophrenia that have occurred over time, we compared the nature of the persecutors and their persecutory behaviors among inpatients with schizophrenia. All admissions to the psychiatric unit of Hanyang University Guri Hospital with discharge diagnoses of schizophrenia during two different five-year time frames (1996-2000 and 2006-2010) were reviewed. From their inpatient medical records, we investigated the descriptions of persecutors and their persecutory behaviors in the delusions of 124 patients (54 in the1990s and 72 in the 2000s). Overall, persecutory behaviors and nature of persecutors in the delusions of schizophrenia did not differ between the two time frames. However, subgroup analysis revealed that in women but not in men, rejection as a persecutory behavior was significantly higher in the 1990s (p<0.05). The ten-year time interval may be too short to find significant changes in delusional content in general. However, our additional finding in women may be a result of the tremendous change in status of Korean women during the last decade.

This report provides information about environmental programs during the calendar year (CY) of 2006 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Menlo Park, California. Activities that span the calendar year; i.e., stormwater monitoring covering the winter season of 2006/2007 (October 2006 through May 2007), are also included. Production of an annual site environmental report (ASER) is a requirement established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) for all management and operating (M&O) contractors throughout the DOE complex. SLAC is a federally-funded research and development center with Stanford University as the M&O contractor. SLAC continued to follow the path to self-declare an environmental management system under DOE Order 450.1, 'Environmental Protection Program' and effectively applied environmental management in meeting the site's integrated safety and environmental management system goals. For normal daily activities, all SLAC managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that proper procedures are followed so that Worker safety and health are protected; The environment is protected; and Compliance is ensured. Throughout 2006, SLAC focused on these activities through the SLAC management systems. These systems were also the way SLAC approached implementing 'greening of the government' initiatives such as Executive Order 13148. The management systems at SLAC are effective, supporting compliance with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. The SLAC Office of Assurance was created during 2006 in response to DOE Order 226.1. During 2006, there were no reportable releases to the environment from SLAC operations, and there were no Notice of Violations issued to SLAC from any of the regulatory agencies that oversee SLAC. In addition, many improvements in waste minimization, recycling, stormwater drain system, groundwater restoration, and SLAC's chemical management system (CMS) were continued during

Reduction in childhood malnutrition in Vietnam from 1990 to 2004.

Reduction in childhood malnutrition in Vietnam between 1990 and 2004 was assessed using data from 5 national surveys. The prevalence of malnutrition, including stunting, declined significantly for underweight from 45% in 1990 to 26.6% in 2004. While the average reduction was 1.3% per year in the period from 1990 to 2000, it was 1.8% per year in the period from 2000 to 2004. The prevalence of stunting declined from 56.5% in 1990 to 30.7% in 2004, with an average reduction of 2% per year in the period from 1990 to 2000 and 1.5% per year in the period from 2000 to 2004. There were clear differences in the decrease in malnutrition prevalence between urban, rural and mountainous areas, the reduction being highest in the urban regions and lowest in the mountainous areas. Regression analysis showed that the nutrition status of the child is positively related to better household living conditions and to the educational level of the father, but not the mother. Stunting is higher in children whose parents are farmers and higher in households with more children. Stunting prevalence is lower in households with safe water access and hygienic toilets. In future , the dramatic reduction is childhood malnutrition as seen in the period 1990 to 2004 might not continue. More comprehensive apptoaches will be needed to lower childhood malnutrition in Vietnam further.

Educational system, income inequality and growth: the median voter's decision

Full Text Available I analyze a long run educational policy as a mechanism to close the income gap among low, median and high-income families. If the choice is made endogenous by the use of the median voter theorem, the results are as follow: i public education system guarantees income convergence, however the income growth rate of the median voter is smaller; ii the combination public and private (hybrid educational system allows faster income growth rate, but income inequality is almost the natural outcome. The ending result is that the combination public and private system will prevail, since the income growth rate of the median voter is higher in this system. This might explain the persistence and differences of income inequality among the economies.O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a utilização da política educacional no longo prazo como mecanismo para a redução da desigualdade de renda entre famílias de renda baixa, mediana e alta. Se a decisão sobre a política for endogeneizada, de acordo com o teorema do eleitor mediano, os resultados são os seguintes: i o sistema educacional público para todos, apesar de garantir convergência de renda, produz uma menor taxa de crescimento da renda do eleitor mediano; ii a combinação público-privado (sistema educacional híbrido permite uma maior taxa de crescimento da renda do eleitor mediano, no entanto a desigualdade de renda é inerente a este sistema. Como resultado final, o eleitor mediano irá escolher o sistema público-privado, pois o crescimento da sua renda é maior, o que pode explicar a persistência e as diferenças na desigualdade de renda das economias.

2012-01-01

The U.S. energy service company (ESCO) industry is an example of a private sector business model where energy savings are delivered to customers primarily through the use of performance-based contracts. This study was conceived as a snapshot of the ESCO industry prior to the economic slowdown and the introduction of federal stimulus funding mandated by enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This study utilizes two parallel analytic approaches to characterize ESCO industry and market trends in the U.S.: (1) a “top-down” approach involving a survey of individual ESCOs to estimate aggregate industry activity and (2) a “bottom-up” analysis of a database of ∼3250 projects (representing over $8B in project investment) that reports market trends including installed EE retrofit strategies, project installation costs and savings, project payback times, and benefit-cost ratios over time. Despite the onset of a severe economic recession, the U.S. ESCO industry managed to grow at about 7% per year between 2006 and 2008. ESCO industry revenues were about $4.1 billion in 2008 and ESCOs anticipate accelerated growth through 2011 (25% per year). We found that 2484 ESCO projects in our database generated ∼$4.0 billion ($2009) in net, direct economic benefits to their customers. We estimate that the ESCO project database includes about 20% of all U.S. ESCO market activity from 1990–2008. Assuming the net benefits per project are comparable for ESCO projects that are not included in the LBNL database, this would suggest that the ESCO industry has generated ∼$23 billion in net direct economic benefits for customers at projects installed between 1990 and 2008. There is empirical evidence confirming that the industry is evolving by installing more comprehensive and complex measures—including onsite generation and measures to address deferred maintenance—but this evolution has significant implications for customer project economics

Full Text Available http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1677-2954.2013v12n1p53 Este artigo é destinado a mostrar que a defesa do voto plural empreendida por John Stuart Mill não é compatível com as linhas gerais da sua concepção de democracia. Objetivando combater a tirania das massas, Mill propôs que os votos tivessem valores diferenciados de acordo com o padrão educacional dos cidadãos. Ele não percebeu, entretanto, que tal proposta desestimulava a participação da maioria do eleitorado na vida pública e estabelecia uma equivalência entre conhecimento político e expertise em assuntos de governo, o que, em certa medida, enfraquece as suas credenciais democráticas. Mill objetivou criar um equilíbrio de poder que possibilitasse aos eleitores de nível educacional mais elevado ter alguma influência no processo político, o que, segundo ele, não aconteceria se aos votos tivessem o mesmo valor.  O sistema plural de votação que ele propôs, entretanto, tendia a dar a impressão de que ele estava desrespeitando o eleitor comum e criando arbitrariamente uma aristocracia eleitoral.

Em 1989, os telenoticiários mostravam-se receptivos à agenda proposta pelos partidos em seus programas de TV, mas há um nítido fechamento nas eleições seguintes. Em 2002, os principais candidatos preferiram aderir à agenda e aos enquadramentos dominantes, reconhecendo a incapacidade do HPEG para alterar a pauta da mídia.The free time for political propaganda on TV gives candidates a space for autonomous communication in which their messages do not have to pass the scrutiny of media groups. This paper discusses the effectiveness of such free time on TV as opposed to TV journalism, and examines the development of the relationship between them in the four presidential elections in Brazil in the post-authoritarian period. In 1989, TV news programs welcomed the agenda put forward by candidates in their TV programs, but a closure is clear in the next elections. In 2002, the main candidates chose to join mainstream agenda and frameworks, acknowledging the inability of free TV time to change the media's agenda.

The phenology of three genera of desert plants (viz., Calligonum L., Haloxylon L., and Tamarix L.) was investigated in response to temperature changes in Turpan. Eremophytes Botanical Garden The temperature was raised gradually from 1977 to 2006, while the phenophases of Calligonum L., Haloxylon L., and Tamarix L. genera were slowly and insignificantly changed in the study area. Their phenophase were similar and did not change significantly over the duration of the study except the beginning of flowering of the average of the three genera from 1977 to 1990 and 1991 to 2006, respectively. The summed temperature of the first four months was the major factor that affected the spring and flowering phenophases of the respective genera. The bud of Calligonum species was expanded during 1977 to 1990 and 1991 to 2006, the flower-buds in Tamarix species appeared during 1977 to 2006, the fruit setting of Haloxylon species started 1990 to 2006 and leaf discoloration of Tamarix species appeared during 1977 to 1990.

Challenges and opportunities for the class of 1990: an industry perspective

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Burchill, W.E.

1986-01-01

The year 1990 presents a symbolic transition from the first era of commercial nuclear power in the United States to eras that will follow. The last commercial nuclear power plant order by a domestic utility was in 1978. Based on a domestic construction schedule shown historically to last as much as 12 yr, this would mean that construction of all plants currently on order would be completed by 1990. Furthermore, it is generally agreed that the next domestic order for a new nuclear power plant will occur during the decade of the 1990s. Thus, 1990 can be considered to be the conjunction of two major eras in the domestic application of nuclear energy

This report describes the results of the Environmental Monitoring Program conducted at Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, in calendar year 1990. This program routinely monitors radioactive and chemical materials at the Sandia site and in the surrounding area. The Environmental Protection Division of SNL, Livermore, prepared this report in accordance with the requirements of Department of Energy Orders 5484.1 and 5400.1. It documents, evaluates, and interprets effluent and environmental monitoring data. These data are used to determine Sandia's compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Much of the off-site monitoring data presented in this report has been collected by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), which provides off-site environmental monitoring for both facilities. The Environmental Monitoring Program at SNL, Livermore, augments LLNL's program by performing on-site and perimeter monitoring, and by monitoring airborne and liquid effluents. Based on comparison to appropriate safety standards and background measurements, operations at SNL, Livermore, in 1990 posed no significant threat to Laboratory employees, the public, or the environment

Frente a ello, se conforma un grupo de vecinos autoconvocados en defensa de su utilización como espacio público-verde, llevando a cabo diversas estrategias cuyo objetivo es evitar la construcción de viviendas en esa zona. Paralelamente, otras personas manifiestan su parecer en relación a la ejecución del programa y desarrollan prácticas que cuestionan la legitimidad de las demandas sostenidas por aquellos vecinos.

An intense observational activity was conducted in the NEMO region, western Ionian Sea, 40 nm south-east of Capo Passero (Sicily), in the framework of the KM3NeT project. Several oceanographic cruises were performed from 2006 to 2009 and current measurements carried out. The new data describe the present status of the deep layer and its evolution after the occurrence of a notable change that affected the Eastern Mediterranean water masses and circulation during the 1990's. In particular, they evidence the presence of a newly formed water mass in the abyssal layer of the Ionian Sea, coming likely from the Adriatic. Deep currents in the region are quite energetic, as already known, and highly variable both spatially and in strength. They are organized in a cyclonic circuit, with a prevalent north-west direction corresponding to the NEMO site.

Trends and risk factors for childhood diarrhea in sub-Saharan countries (1990-2013): assessing the neighborhood inequalities.

Bado, Aristide R; Susuman, A Sathiya; Nebie, Eric I

2016-01-01

Diarrheal diseases are a major cause of child mortality and one of the main causes of medical consultation for children in sub-Saharan countries. This paper attempts to determine the risk factors and neighborhood inequalities of diarrheal morbidity among under-5 children in selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa over the period 1990-2013. Data used come from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) waves conducted in Burkina Faso (1992-93, 1998-99, 2003, and 2010), Mali (1995, 2001, 2016, and 2012), Nigeria (1990, 1999, 2003, 2008, and 2013), and Niger (1992, 1998, 2006, and 2012). Bivariate analysis was performed to assess the association between the dependent variable and each of the independent variables. Multilevel logistic regression modelling was used to determine the fixed and random effects of the risk factors associated with diarrheal morbidity. The findings showed that the proportion of diarrheal morbidity among under-5 children varied considerably across the cohorts of birth from 10 to 35%. There were large variations in the proportion of diarrheal morbidity across countries. The proportions of diarrheal morbidity were higher in Niger compared with Burkina Faso, Mali, and Nigeria. The risk factors of diarrheal morbidity varied from one country to another, but the main factors included the child's age, size of the child at birth, the quality of the main floor material, mother's education and her occupation, type of toilet, and place of residence. The analysis shows an increasing trend of diarrheal inequalities according to DHS rounds. In Burkina Faso, the value of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.04 for 1993 DHS and 0.09 in 2010 DHS; in Mali, the ICC increased from 0.04 in 1995 to 0.16 in 2012; in Nigeria, the ICC increased from 0.13 in 1990 to 0.19 in 2013; and in Niger, the ICC increased from 0.07 in 1992 to 0.11 in 2012. This suggests the need to fight against diarrheal diseases on both the local and community levels across villages.

Characterization of pigeon paramyxoviruses (Newcastle disease virus) isolated in South Africa from 2001 to 2006.

2008-06-01

Pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1), a variant of Newcastle disease virus that primarily affects doves and pigeons has been isolated in South Africa since the mid-1980s. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 viruses were introduced into South Africa on multiple occasions, based on the presence of two separate lineages, 4bi and 4bii, that have been circulating in Europe and the Far East since the early 1990s. During 2006, a PPMV-1 virus was isolated from an African ground hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) which became acutely infected with PPMV-1 and died, probably after scavenging off infected dove carcasses in the region, since a closely-related PPMV-1 strain was also isolated from doves collected nearby. The hornbill isolate had ICPI and MDT values characteristic of PPMV-1 strains. The threat of PPMV-1 to poultry production and biodiversity in southern Africa highlights the importance of monitoring the spread of this strain.

Population aging, macroeconomic changes, and global diabetes prevalence, 1990-2008.

Diabetes is an important contributor to global morbidity and mortality. The contributions of population aging and macroeconomic changes to the growth in diabetes prevalence over the past 20 years are unclear. We used cross-sectional data on age- and sex-specific counts of people with diabetes by country, national population estimates, and country-specific macroeconomic variables for the years 1990, 2000, and 2008. Decomposition analysis was performed to quantify the contribution of population aging to the change in global diabetes prevalence between 1990 and 2008. Next, age-standardization was used to estimate the contribution of age composition to differences in diabetes prevalence between high-income (HIC) and low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). Finally, we used non-parametric correlation and multivariate first-difference regression estimates to examine the relationship between macroeconomic changes and the change in diabetes prevalence between 1990 and 2008. Globally, diabetes prevalence grew by two percentage points between 1990 (7.4 %) and 2008 (9.4 %). Population aging was responsible for 19 % of the growth, with 81 % attributable to increases in the age-specific prevalences. In both LMICs and HICs, about half the growth in age-specific prevalences was from increasing levels of diabetes between ages 45-65 (51 % in HICs and 46 % in LMICs). After age-standardization, the difference in the prevalence of diabetes between LMICs and HICs was larger (1.9 % point difference in 1990; 1.5 % point difference in 2008). We found no evidence that macroeconomic changes were associated with the growth in diabetes prevalence. Population aging explains a minority of the recent growth in global diabetes prevalence. The increase in global diabetes between 1990 and 2008 was primarily due to an increase in the prevalence of diabetes at ages 45-65. We do not find evidence that basic indicators of economic growth, development, globalization, or urbanization were related

At the turn of 2006/2007, 437 nuclear power plants were available for energy supply, or were being commissioned, in 31 countries of the world. This is seven plants less than at the turn of 2005/2006. The aggregate gross power of the plants amounted to approx. 389.5 GWe, the aggregate net power, to 370.5 GWe. This indicates a slight decrease of gross power by some 0.15 GWe compared to the level the year before, while the available net power increased, also slightly, by approx. 0.2 GWe. The Tarapur 3 nuclear generating unit in India, a D 2 O PWR of 540 MWe gross power, was newly commissioned. In 2006, 8 nuclear power plants in Europe (4 in the United Kingdom, 2 in Bulgaria, 1 each in the Slovak Republic and in Spain) discontinued power operation for good. 29 nuclear generating units, i.e. 6 plants more than at the end of 2005, were under construction in late 2006 in 9 countries with an aggregate gross power of approx. 25.5 GWe. Worldwide, some 40 new nuclear power plants are in the concrete project design, planning, and licensing phases; in some of these cases, contracts have already been signed. Net electricity generation in nuclear power plants worldwide in 2006 achieved another top ranking level of approx. 2,660 billion kWh (2005: approx. 2,750 billion kWh). Since the first generation of electricity in a nuclear power plant in the EBR-1 fast breeder (USA) on December 20, 1951, cumulated gross production has reached approx. 56,875 billion kWh, and operating experience has grown to some 12,399 reactor years.

Full Text Available Propósito – O artigo analisa conflitos judiciais na regulação de telecomunicações e do meio-ambiente, relacionados com a infraestrutura de telefonia móvel no Brasil contemporâneo com o objetivo de demonstrar como aqui se desenrolou o mesmo processo havido em países do exterior. Metodologia/abordagem/design – A pesquisa realizada possui traços de comparação com análise qualitativa. Ela justapõe uma descrição do fenômeno na literatura internacional com casos judiciais brasileiros e o seu sistema de processamento para demonstrar que as disputas nacionais têm sido empreendidas por entes estatais e não por grupos sociais organizados. Resultados – A conclusão do trabalho está cingida à percepção de que a questão dos riscos dos celulares e seu impacto na vida social brasileira acabam por não atrair a ação social, seja por meio de associações, seja por meio de um debate público, sendo a luta capturada, conforme diagnosticado pela teoria da judicialização da política no Brasil (Werneck Vianna et alli, 1999, por agentes estatais e entidades públicas. Implicações práticas – O texto ilumina um fenômeno pouco estudado no Brasil que possui implicações para as políticas públicas de infraestrutura em telecomunicações e outras áreas, bem como impacto no desenvolvimento nacional pelos custos de licenciamente e de medidas de precaução técnica. Originalidade/relevância do texto – O trabalho preenhche um espaço na literatura nacional, que não costuma apreciar questões jurídicas e técnicas em interface com a sociologia e as demais ciências sociais.

At the Geesthacht Neutron Facility GeNF about 212 experiments were performed in 2006 by GKSS and by or for external users, partners or contractors. In most cases the measurements were performed and analysed in cooperation by the guests and by the GKSS staff or by the permanent external user group staff. The activities, which are based on a proposal procedure and on the in house R and D program, are reported in 71 contributions in the present annual experimental report for the year 2006. The contributions may contain one or also several combined experiments. During 2006 the GKSS research reactor FRG-1 achieved an operation time of 197 days at the full 5 MW reactor power providing a neutron flux of ca. 1.4 x 10 14 thermal neutrons/cm 2 s. The cold neutron source was available during the complete operation time. The focus of the in house R and D work at GeNF instruments was the characterisation of nanostructures in engineering materials, the analysis of stresses and textures in welds and technical structures at ARES-2, TEX-2, DCD and SANS-2, the structural investigation of hydrogen containing substances such as polymers, colloids and biological macromolecules at SANS-1 as well as the characterisation of magnetic thin films at PNR, NeRo, POLDI and ROeDI. The thoroughly upgraded residual stress diffractomer ARES-2 went in full operation in spring 2006 as well as the new neutron tomography device at GENRA-3. The installation of modern experiment control hardware and software based on LabView was completed on all designated instruments. In the appendices I and II the experimental reports of REFSANS at FRM II are attached as well as of the GKSS outstation HARWI-II at DESY. Both instruments started full operation in 2006. (orig.)

Teleseismic analysis of the 1990 and 1991 earthquakes near Potenza

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

G. Ekstrom

1994-06-01

Full Text Available Analysis of the available teleseismic data for two moderate earthquakes near the town of Potenza in the Southern Apennines shows that both involve strike-slip faulting on a plane oriented approximately east-west. Only the larger, 5 May 1990, earthquake is sufficiently large for analysis by conventional teleseismic waveform inversion methods, and is seen to consist of a foreshock followed 11 seconds later by the main release of moment. The focal mechanism and seismic moment of the 26 May 1991 earthquake is determined by quantitative comparison of its 15-60 s period surface waves with those generated by the 5 May 1990 event. The focal mechanisms for the two events are found to be very similar. The 1991 earthquake has a scalar moment that is approximately 18% that of the 1990 mainshock. Comparison of higher frequency P waves for the two events, recorded at regional distance, shows that the ratio of trace amplitudes is smaller than the ratio of scalar moments, suggesting that the stress drop for the 1991 event is distinctly smaller than for the 1990 mainshock.

2006 was a 'hot' year: The image of the power industry suffered as a result of monopolistic practices and excessive profits. Politicians and consumers also state that investments in the development of new capacities and in an environment-friendly infrastructure are kept at allow level in order to maintain a situation of relative supply shortage, which is favourable to the high price level. There are calls for more rigid control and regulation of the energy market. Even more than former years, 2006 showed that the energy problem is an international challenge. The review of the year therefore focuses on the internationalisation of the energy market. (orig.)

Políticas do desperdício e assimetria entre público e privado na indústria automobilística

Arbix Glauco

Full Text Available Nos anos de 1990, a disputa entre Estados e municípios por novos investimentos no setor automotivo atingiu grande intensidade. Poucos Estados resistiram à tentação de oferecer vultuosos incentivos às montadoras esperando recompensa na forma de empregos, tecnologia e aumento de impostos. A competição ganhou o nome de guerra fiscal, por estar baseada no jogo com a receita e a arrecadação futura do ICMS. Ao longo do tempo, os mecanismos utilizados para atrair novos investimentos foram se tornando mais sofisticados e dificilmente serão completamente extintos por uma eventual reforma fiscal sem que a relação entre os Estados seja reconfigurada politicamente. Exatamente por isso, a questão de fundo atualizada pela guerra fiscal possui uma dimensão nacional que toca nos alicerces de nossa sociedade ao sugerir a busca de um novo equilíbrio entre cooperação e conflito na Federação brasileira. Nossa hipótese central é que essa disputa, no formato atual, representa grande desperdício de recursos públicos, tanto para os governos estaduais quanto para o país como um todo. As regras do jogo, as armas e o território da guerra fiscal favorecem, em primeira instância, as grandes montadoras que, de fato, comandam as negociações.

VUEZ. Annual report 2006

2007-01-01

A brief account of activities carried out by the Vyskumny ustav energetickych zariadeni, a.s. (VUEZ) in 2006 is presented. These activities are reported under the headings: (1) Introductory address by the Chairman of the Board of Directors; (2) Company profile; (3) Organisational structure; (4) Portfolio of products and services in 2006; (5) Quality management system; (6) Human resources; (7) Financial statements and auditor's report; (8) Auditor's certificate; (9) Basic and contact data. The year 2006 was a year of changes in the Slovak energy sector what, in a certain degree, became evident also in the related sphere of supplies. In the course of the year, Slovenske elektrarne a.s. Company was divided into two entities and its proprietary structure was changed. At the same time, the number of capital investment projects was reduced and the related procedure of procurement was changed. VUEZ, as a supplier to the energy sector, had to promptly respond to the changes. That was why in the first half of 2006, the organisational structure of VUEZ was modified. In the course of the year, also the structure of customers on the domestic market was partly changed. To stable partners such as Slovenske elektrarne (and its successors after the company splitting), another important partner was added - Vodohospodarska vystavba s.p. Bratislava. As to Slovenske elektrarne, our supplies were oriented mainly on nuclear reactor units in the Jaslovske Bohunice and Mochovce NPPs. At the end of the year, a joint convention was agreed and concluded on application of the results of the joint research at third parties. In the preparation for the decommissioning of the Jaslovske Bohunice V1 NPP, VUEZ continued its participation in on-going projects of an international consortium of companies. Similarly important were the customers such as CEZ a.s., Czech Republic (in particular its Dukovany NPP), and the Paks NPP (Hungary)

Since populations are becoming increasingly multi-ethnic, the use of local or international charts is a matter of debate. This study aimed to evaluate how the choice of cut-off thresholds affected prevalence of underweight (UW), overweight (OW), obesity (OB) in 1200 11-12-year Italian adolescents, and how their somatic growth depended on parental origin. The height, weight and body mass index were expressed as standard deviation score (SDS) using Italian (ISPED-2006) and UK (UK-1990) charts. The classification of UW/OW/OB was computed with the IOTF international cut-offs, and thresholds were identified as centiles corresponding to BMI values of 18.5/25.0/30.0 kg/m 2 at 18-year in ISPED-2006 or UK-1990 references. About 30% participants had non-Italian parents, above all from North-Africa and Romania. Referring to the UK-1990 charts, all groups showed negative mean SDS for height, and positive SDS for weight and BMI. Referring to the ISPED-2006 charts, all mean SDS were negative. Percentage of UW individuals was higher in accordance with ISPED-2006 than with UK-1990 charts, whereas percentages of OW/OB were higher with UK-1990 than ISPED-2006 charts. The results obtained using IOFT cut-offs were similar to UK-1990 cut-offs. These results were due to the different shape of age-dependent cut-off centiles. Independently by the parental origin, the percentages of adolescents classified as OW/OB were closer to the expected values using the ISPED-2006 then the UK-1990 cut-offs. The results suggested the use of the Italian references for adolescents with immigrant parents. The use of local charts seems more appropriate at least in Italian adolescents in the age range studied.

«Huarpes no tan huarpes» y «hombres modernos»: interpelaciones étnicas y disputas por las últimas tierras irrigadas en Mendoza (Argentina

Full Text Available A través de un estudio etnográfico en la periferia del oasis de riego más importante del centro-oeste argentino, se analiza la intervención de persistentes representaciones étnico-raciales y ambientales en la delimitación de áreas irrigadas y de grupos sociales que ostentan la tenencia del agua y la tierra. Los grupos situados a uno y otro lado de los últimos canales de riego son interpelados desde paradigmas modernistas que vinculan a la tenencia del agua, la propiedad privada y la producción vitivinícola con la herencia europea y la idea de progreso, mientras que lo no irrigado, la tenencia comunitaria de la tierra y el pastoreo trashumante se asocia a la descendencia indígena huarpe y a la idea de atraso o involución. Debido a la presencia de dos espacios y grupos socio-culturales supuestamente autónomos, opuestos y separados por los últimos canales de riego es que se los conceptualiza como frontera hídrica. Esta, a pesar de ser considerada como natural y fija, es por el contrario artificial y dinámica, producto de luchas sociales y simbólicas por el agua y por la obtención de legitimidad como grupo socio-cultural capaz de obtenerla y controlarla. Asimismo se resaltan la presencia no solo de actores liminales, ni huarpes ni de origen europeo, sino también de alianzas que pueden llevar a la reconfiguración de espacios irrigados y de grupos socioculturales capaces de dar batalla en las disputas por los recursos naturales.

This document of the 1990 General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church - traditionally labelled as a significant pro-apartheid church - is the sequel to a statement by a previous Synod four years earlier. The main finding is that ‘Church and Society - 1990’ tends to give a Scriptural basis to current political tendencies and thinking in South African government circles.

Premaximum observations of the type Ia SN 1990N

Spectroscopic and photometric observations of SN 1990N were obtained at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths, beginning 14 days before maximum light. The early observations reveal important differences from spectra of SN Ia's around maximum light. Photometry and spectroscopy obtained after maximum show that SN 1990N is a typical SN Ia and that most of the observed differences are due to the early epoch of the observations. The most significant characteristics are (1) the high velocities of Ca and Si up to 22,000 km/s; (2) the presence of Co and Fe 2 weeks before maximum; and (3) the more rapid increase in the UV flux compared to the optical. The most popular models for white dwarf deflagration that have provided the standard interpretation for SN Ia's at maximum light do not reproduce the high velocities of Ca II and Si II lines observed in SN 1990N. 37 refs

A methodology to map and monitor land cover change using multi temporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and ASTER data in Zagros mountains of Iran for 1990, 1998, and 2006 was developed. Land- use/cover mapping is achieved through interpretation of Landsat TM satellite images of 1990, 1998 and TERRA-ASTER image of 2006 using ENVI 4.3. Basedon the Anderson land-use/cover classification system, land-use and land-covers are classified as forest land, range land, water bodies, agricultural land and residential land.The unsupervised image classification method was carried out prior to field visit, in order to determine strata for ground truth. Fieldwork was carried out to collect data for training and validating land use/cover interpretation from satellite image of 2006, and for qualitative description of the characteristics of each land use/cover class. The land - use/cover maps of 1990,1998 and 2006 were produced by using supervised image classification technique based on the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) and 132 training samples. Error matrices as cross-tabulations of the mapped class vs. the reference class were used to assess classification accuracy. Overall accuracy, users and produce accuracies, and the Kappa statistic were then derived from the error matrices. A multi-date post-classification comparison change detection algorithm was used to determine changes in land cover in three intervals, 1990,1998, 1998, 2006 and 1990, 2006.To evaluate the maps change for the 1990 to 2006 interval, areas classified as change and no-change were randomly sampled and checked whether they were correctly classified. The maps showed that between 1990 and 2006 the amount of forest land decreased from 67% to 38.5% of the total area, while rangelands, agriculture, settlement and surface water increased from 30.8% to 45%, 1.2% to.0%, 0.3% to 7.5% and 0.6% to 1.8%, respectively.In 1990,1998 and 2006, the area was dominated by dense forest (35.9%, 28.9%, 29.3%), open forest and

To explore the presence and magnitude of--and change in--socioeconomic and health inequalities between and within Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa--the countries known as BRICS--between 1990 and 2010. Comparable data on socioeconomic and health indicators, at both country and primary subnational levels, were obtained from publicly available sources. Health inequalities between and within countries were identified and summarized by using standard gap and gradient metrics. Four of the BRICS countries showed increases in both income level and income inequality between 1990 and 2010. The exception was Brazil, where income inequality decreased over the same period. Between-country inequalities in level of education and access to sanitation remained mostly unchanged but the largest between-country difference in mean life expectancy increased, from 9 years in 1990 to 20 years in 2010. Throughout the study period, there was disproportionality in the burden of disease between BRICS. However, the national infant mortality rate fell substantially over the study period in all five countries. In Brazil and China, the magnitude of subnational income-related inequalities in infant mortality, both absolute and relative, also decreased substantially. Despite the economic prosperity and general improvements in health seen since 1990, profound inequalities in health persist both within and between BRICS. However, the substantial reductions observed--within Brazil and China--in the inequalities in income-related levels of infant mortality are encouraging.

Rasgos urbanísticos del crecimiento residencial asociado a la burbuja inmobiliaria, 1995-2006

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Julio Pozueta Echávarri

2015-06-01

Full Text Available Posiblemente, el fenómeno urbanístico más sorprendente de los últimos 22 años, ha sido lo que se ha venido en llamar la “burbuja inmobiliaria”, el amplio ciclo inmobiliario expansivo que se desarrolla en España, entre 1995 y 2006, durante el cual se triplica el número de licencias de viviendas concedidas en España, que pasan de una media de 217.863 durante el quinquenio 1990-94 a las 737.186 que se alcanzan en 2006, una cifra más de tres veces superior a la anterior. La “burbuja inmobiliaria” o “tsunami urbanístico”, como también se ha llamado, ha dado lugar a una ingente cantidad de publicaciones, noticias y opiniones y ha sido un tema recurrente en la prensa española durante sus años finales y los primeros de la crisis que le siguió. Sin embargo, aparte de su mera dimensión cuantitativa global, en realidad, los rasgos del crecimiento urbano asociado a la publicitada y debatida “burbuja” son poco conocidos, mucho menos que la evolución de los precios y las ventas, que han centrado la atención pública, y una de las principales razones de este desconocimiento es seguramente la dificultad de contar con datos precisos de un fenómeno cuyo modelado y control es una competencia básicamente municipal, lo que significa que los datos detallados de este proceso están repartidos entre las 8.123 corporaciones municipales que, de acuerdo con el MINHA, componen España.

Hoe Creek 1990 quarterly sampling cumulative report

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

Crader, S.E.; Huntington, G.S.

1991-03-01

Groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for benzene and for total phenols three times during 1990. This report summarizes the results of these sampling events and compares the results with those obtained in previous years. Possible further options for remediation of the Hoe Creek site was addressed. Three underground coal gasification (UCG) burns were performed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the US Department of Energy in 1976, 1977, and 1979 at the Hoe Creek site, which is about 20 miles south of Gillette, Wyoming. As a result of these burns, there has been considerable contamination of groundwater by various organic compounds. There have been three efforts at remediating this situation. In 1986 and again in 1987, contaminated water was pumped out, treated, and reinjected. In 1989, the water was pumped, treated, and sprayed into the atmosphere. Benzene and total phenols have been monitored at various monitoring wells as the site during 1990. The highest detected benzene concentration in 1990 was 220 {mu}g/L, and the highest total phenols concentration was 430 {mu}g/L. It is apparent that contamination is still above baseline levels, although the concentration of total phenols is far less than immediately after the burns. The burned coal seams are still releasing organic compounds into the groundwater that passes through them.

Pop Feminism: Televised Superheroines from the 1990s to the 2010s

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Bercuci Loredana

2016-12-01

Full Text Available This paper analyses the construction of two superheroines, one from the 1990s (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and one from the 2010s (Jessica Jones. I contend that popular feminism has changed between the 1990s and the present and that this is evident in the representation of televised superheroines. While in the 1990s superheroines were more conformist, today they are more transparent in their feminist intentions. I suggest that this is due to contemporary cultural trends in the United States.

Annual survey air quality 2003-2006

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Beijk, R.; Mooibroek, D.; Hoogerbrugge, R.

2007-01-01

Results from the Dutch National Air Quality Monitoring Network (LML) show that several European air quality limit values were exceeded in the Netherlands between 2003 and 2006. This applied mainly to nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM10) and ozone. The number of exceedances was especially high in 2003, partly due to weather conditions such as enduring dry episodes. Ozone concentration levels above the alert threshold (smog alert) were measured in 2003 and 2006, with concentration levels above the alert threshold occurring mostly during heat episodes. Measurements for nitrogen dioxide showed a yearly average concentration at city street locations above the European limit value at approximately half the measuring sites between 2003 and 2006. Yearly average concentrations measured at regional locations have changed relatively little in the past four years, remaining below the limit value for this entire period. Particulate matter concentrations have been relatively constant in the past few three years, after peaking in 2003. There is an EU standard for particulate matter for short- and long-term exposure of the population, which is represented by year and day average concentrations, with a maximum number of exceedances per year allowed. The year averages for the 2003 to 2006 period are less than the standard for long-term exposure. The maximum number of days showing average concentrations above the limit value was violated at several locations in 2006. Both nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter are characterized by a clear downward trend when measured over a long period of time (15 and 14 years, respectively). However, it is not possible to determine from the past seven years whether this trend is still valid [nl

Full Text Available Hourly measurements of 13 volatile hydrocarbons (C2–C7 were performed at an urban background site in Zurich (Switzerland in the years 1993–1994 and again in 2005–2006. For the separation of the volatile organic compounds by gas-chromatography (GC, an identical chromatographic column was used in both campaigns. Changes in hydrocarbon profiles and source strengths were recovered by positive matrix factorization (PMF. Eight and six factors could be related to hydrocarbon sources in 1993–1994 and in 2005–2006, respectively. The modeled source profiles were verified by hydrocarbon profiles reported in the literature. The source strengths were validated by independent measurements, such as inorganic trace gases (NOx, CO, SO2, methane (CH4, oxidized hydrocarbons (OVOCs and meteorological data (temperature, wind speed etc.. Our analysis suggests that the contribution of most hydrocarbon sources (i.e. road traffic, solvents use and wood burning decreased by a factor of about two to three between the early 1990s and 2005–2006. On the other hand, hydrocarbon losses from natural gas leakage remained at relatively constant levels (−20%. The estimated emission trends are in line with the results from different receptor-based approaches reported for other European cities. Their differences to national emission inventories are discussed.

Radioactivity of people in Finland in 1989-1990

The atmospheric nuclear weapons tests of the 1950s, '60s and '70s caused global radioactive fallout. After the reactor accident at Chernobyl, radioactive fallout was carried by air streams to most parts of Europe. In 1989-90 radionuclides causing internal contamination were transported to man only via foodchains and no longer via inhalation, as had happened immediately after the accident. To determine the level of radionuclides in the body and to estimate the internal radiation doses caused by the accident, whole-body counting measurements were performed. Ten different groups of people resident in Finland were measured during 1989-90. Three were local reference groups, two groups consisted of radiation workers, one was a population group presenting the entire country, and four were groups representative of people with special dietary habits. The weighted mean 137 Cs body burden in the population group was 1200 Bq at the end of 1989, and 900 Bq at the end of 1990. The burdens varied from less than 50 Bq to 13 000 Bq in 1990. The measurement data showed that the maximum body burdens were reached in the summer 1987, after which a continuous decrease could be observed. In the groups with special diets, the highest mean Cs-137 body burden in 1990 was found in the Lapp group from Inari. Within this group, the maximum mean body burden, 10 000 Bq, was found in male reindeer herders their body burdens varying from 3000 to 30 000 Bq. The mean effective doses delivered to the population in Finland, estimated by using the measurement data on the population group, was 0.04 mSv in 1989, 0.03 mSv in 1990 and the corresponding committed effective doses were 0.06 mSv and 0.04 mSv, respectively.

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Mosby, R.C.

1991-01-01

The natural gas liquids industry and specifically the gas processing business has not been rosy the last several years. processors have been faced with low NGL prices, high inventories and more regulations which have forced product margins to all time lows and have resulted in plant closings, mergers and a determined search for those processors that are left for ways to make ends meet until times get better. Whether a barometer for the future or merely a fluke in the economy, things got better in 1990. Last year represented a change for the positive in all the indicators characterizing the gas processing business. An early winter in 1989, propane distribution problems, overall increases in petrochemical demand for NGLs and the fear brought on by events in Kuwait all contributed to changes in the marketplace. For the gas processor, these events combined with relatively low natural gas prices to produce wider processing margins and a degree of prosperity. The biggest regulatory event in 1990 however was without a doubt the Clean Air Act Amendments. These sweeping changes to the 1970 Clean Air Act promise to affect the economy and public health well into the next century. The purpose of this paper is to examine first the major provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and then relate those anticipated changes to the gas processing industry. As will be examined later, the Amendments will create both threats and opportunities for gas processors

2007-01-01

Estimates for the marketed production of natural gas in 2006 show a rise of about 3% over 2005. The share of LNG in the gas trade accounts for 23% of the total. In 2006, the international trade in liquid form accounted for 348.4 10 6 m 3 or almost 159 10 6 t. It rose by 38.4 10 6 m 3 , or 12.4%, the highest growth rate ever recorded over the last decade. As to imports: - Japan remained by far the world's largest LNG importer with 136 10 6 m 3 , or 39% of all imports, followed by Korea with 55.3 10 6 m 3 (15.9%) and Spain with 41.6 10 6 m 3 (12.0%), markedly higher than the U.S.A. ranking fourth with 26 10 6 m 3 (7.5%). Seventeen countries were involved in LNG imports with the addition of China and Mexico in 2006. - The growth rate of European imports remained stable at 21%, above the global growth rate of 12.4%, resulting in a market share for Europe of 27.4% and demonstrating the dynamism of this region in the LNG trade. With a 12% market share in worldwide trade, Spain maintained its position as Europe's largest LNG market. - After substantial increases during the early part of this decade, the US market suffered most from the shortage in LNG production and price arbitration prompted some shippers to divert spot LNG away from the US market. Imports for the Americas as a whole still decreased by 3.2% and their global market share fell to 8.5%. - The Asian market kept on growing steadily by 11.4% with imports to the region rising from 200.6 10 6 m 3 to 223.4 10 6 m 3 or an increase of 22.8 10 6 m 3 , mainly due to the continued rise of Indian imports with a 3.9% market share, and the emergence of China on the LNG scene. Japanese imports steadily rose to 136 10 6 m 3 . Korea also enjoyed a significant growth by 13.5% to 55.3 10 6 m 3 while Taiwan's imports grew by 8.5% to 17 10 6 m 3 . As to sources of imports: Indonesia lost its leading position and Qatar became the world's largest LNG producer with 15.5% of all exports. Indonesia ranked second with 13.9%, Malaysia

2006 LANL Radionuclide Air Emissions Report

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

David P. Fuehne

2007-06-30

This report describes the impacts from emissions of radionuclides at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for calendar year 2006. This report fulfills the requirements established by the Radionuclide National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (Rad-NESHAP). This report is prepared by LANL's Rad-NESHAP compliance team, part of the Environmental Protection Division. The information in this report is required under the Clean Air Act and is being reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The highest effective dose equivalent (EDE) to an off-site member of the public was calculated using procedures specified by the EPA and described in this report. LANL's EDE was 0.47 mrem for 2006. The annual limit established by the EPA is 10 mrem per year. During calendar year 2006, LANL continuously monitored radionuclide emissions at 28 release points, or stacks. The Laboratory estimates emissions from an additional 58 release points using radionuclide usage source terms. Also, LANL uses a network of air samplers around the Laboratory perimeter to monitor ambient airborne levels of radionuclides. To provide data for dispersion modeling and dose assessment, LANL maintains and operates meteorological monitoring systems. From these measurement systems, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to calculate the EDE for the Laboratory. The EDE is evaluated as any member of the public at any off-site location where there is a residence, school, business, or office. In 2006, this location was the Los Alamos Airport Terminal. The majority of this dose is due to ambient air sampling of plutonium emitted from 2006 clean-up activities at an environmental restoration site (73-002-99; ash pile). Doses reported to the EPA for the past 10 years are shown in Table E1.

Indicators for Danish greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2007

The indicators defined according to the obligations under decisions of the EU Monitoring Mechanism have been worked out for 1990-2007. Discussions and comments on the definitions and the guidance of the indicators and their numerator and denominator were worked out. For many indicators the definitions and guidance were clear, for some indicators further text as definition and guidance would have been appropriate. Explanations on the data collection for the indicators for Denmark are given in this report. For the greenhouse gas emissions the source is the Danish inventories and the Danish inventory databases. For Economic data the source is Eurostat and for building data the source is Statistics Denmark. Only the energy, industry and transport sectors and only emissions of CO{sub 2} are covered by the indicators defined. A major result is that the main indicator (macro indicator 1) shows that the steady increase of gross domestic product is decoupled from the trend of the Danish national emissions of CO{sub 2}, since the indicator (the emissions divided by the GDP) in 2005-2007 decreased by 23-30 % compared to 1990. This decrease is mainly caused by higher efficiency in the heat and electricity production, a gradual shift to lesser CO{sub 2} emitting fuels, e.g. from coal to gas, and an increased use of biomass fuels. An important indicator for the industry sector is the CO{sub 2} emission over gross value added (priority indicator 4). The overall trend is a decrease from 1996 to 2007 after slightly fluctuating levels for the years 1990 to 1996. The rather steady increase of gross value added of industry, in 2007 27% above the 1990 level, simultaneously with an increase of CO{sub 2} emission of 5% only, is as for the macro indicator a decoupling. This causes the indicator in 2007 to be at 83 % of the 1990 level. The change to lower emitting fuels plays a role probably interplaying with the changes in industry structure towards less energy demanding industry. For

Full Text Available A importância das campanhas eleitorais reside no fato de que se trata do momento priveligiado da relação entre os cidadãos e a política. É a hora em que as diferentes opções informam à sociedade sobre seu programa de governo, as principais medidas que pretendem impulsionar e que idéias estão por trás destas medidas. A pergunta é: são as campanhas capazes de efetuar a percepção dos eleitores? O objetivo deste artigo é investigar o grau de influência das campanhas eleitorais na decisão do voto. A análise é restrita a apenas um segmento das campanhas, a cobertura eleitoral feita pelos jornais brasileiros, no contexto das eleições presidenciais de 2002. O artigo inicia com uma discussão a respeito da relação teórica entre eleitores e mídia nos momentos eleitorais. Em seguida, analisa o impacto da cobertura sobre a intenção de voto a partir de um critério que mede o tom das críticas por meio do saldo das matérias positivas e negativas publicadas durante a campanha. Concluimos, com base na aplicação de métodos descritivos e estatísticos, que o voto dado ao candidato Lula (PT foi fortemente influenciado pela cobertura feita pelos jornais

Sentidos de "digital" em disputa no currículo de história: que implicações para o ensino desta disciplina?

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Marcella Albaine Farias da Costa

2014-09-01

Full Text Available Este texto admite como base inicial de reflexão as muitas articulações que já se fizeram no campo educacional em torno dos significantes ‘ensino’ e ‘tecnologia’, em geral, fixando sentidos ligados à ideia de ‘inovação’, ‘afinamento com os novos tempos’ e/ou ‘facilitador da aprendizagem’. No caso da disciplina História, fala-se recorrentemente que a utilização das chamadas tecnologias da informação e da comunicação (TICs pode gerar novas práticas, indo de encontro ao tão combatido ensino ‘tradicional’, ligado à ‘lógica da memorização’. Sem refutar ou corroborar tais afirmativas, e amparando-se nas contribuições das teorizações do discurso formuladas por Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe, a análise procura mostrar que fixar e disputar ‘sentidos de digital’ no currículo de História é uma ação política, que mobiliza/desloca a fronteira da própria definição do que é e do que não é a ciência/conhecimento histórico na contemporaneidade, provocando alterações, portanto, tanto na cultura histórica, quanto na cultura escolar. Tendo como empiria o Edital do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD 2015, entendido como texto curricular, o estudo evidencia e problematiza a forma como as disputas em torno da significação e fixação de ‘sentidos de digital’ têm aparecido na área de História, produzindo deslocamentos em meio às práticas articulatórias que fixam sentido para a interface ‘ensino’-‘tecnologia’.

Full Text Available Background: Climate change has been recognized as both one of the biggest threats and the biggest opportunities for global health in the 21st century. This trend review seeks to assess and characterize the amount and type of scientific literature on the link between climate change and human health. Design: We tracked the use of climate-related terms and their co-occurrence with health terms during the 25 years since the first Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC report, from 1990 to 2014, in two scientific databases and in the IPCC reports. We investigated the trends in the number of publications about health and climate change through time, by nature of the health impact under study, and by geographic area. We compared the scientific production in the health field with that of other sectors on which climate change has an impact. Results: The number of publications was extremely low in both databases from 1990 (325 and 1,004, respectively until around 2006 (1,332 and 4,319, respectively, which has since then increased exponentially in recent years (6,079 and 17,395, respectively, in 2014. However, the number of climate change papers regarding health is still about half that of other sectors. Certain health impacts, particularly malnutrition and non-communicable diseases (NCDs, remain substantially understudied. Approximately two-thirds of all published studies were carried out in OECD countries (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, predominantly in Europe and North America. Conclusions: There is a clear need for further research on the links between climate change and health. This pertains particularly to research in and by those countries in which health will be mostly affected and capacity to adapt is least. Specific undertreated topics such as NCDs, malnutrition, and mental health should gain the priority they deserve.

Global estimates of carbon stock changes in living forest biomass: EDGARv4.3 - time series from 1990 to 2010

While the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) focuses on global estimates for the full set of anthropogenic activities, the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector might be the most diverse and most challenging to cover consistently for all countries of the world. Parties to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are required to provide periodic estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, following the latest approved methodological guidance by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The current study aims to consistently estimate the carbon (C) stock changes from living forest biomass for all countries of the world, in order to complete the LULUCF sector in EDGAR. In order to derive comparable estimates for developing and developed countries, it is crucial to use a single methodology with global applicability. Data for developing countries are generally poor, such that only the Tier 1 methods from either the IPCC Good Practice Guide for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (GPG-LULUCF) 2003 or the IPCC 2006 Guidelines can be applied to these countries. For this purpose, we applied the IPCC Tier 1 method at global level following both IPCC GPG-LULUCF 2003 and IPCC 2006, using spatially coarse activity data (i.e. area, obtained combining two different global forest maps: the Global Land Cover map and the eco-zones subdivision of the Global Ecological Zone (GEZ) map) in combination with the IPCC default C stocks and C stock change factors. Results for the C stock changes were calculated separately for gains, harvest, fires (Global Fire Emissions Database version 3, GFEDv.3) and net deforestation for the years 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2010. At the global level, results obtained with the two sets of IPCC guidance differed by about 40 %, due to different assumptions and default factors. The IPCC Tier 1 method unavoidably introduced high uncertainties due to the "globalization" of parameters. When the
