A variety of political economy factors are discussed as explanations for the disappointing results of the Doha Round. [source] POLITICAL ECONOMY OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING FOR TRADE LIBERALIZATION: POLITICS OF AGRICULTURE RELATED GOVERNMENT SPENDING FOR THE URUGUAY ROUND IN JAPANTHE JAPANESE ECONOMIC REVIEW, Issue 2 2010KOZO HARIMAYA This paper investigates the effect of political factors on the interregional allocation of the budget to assist farmers in coping with agricultural trade liberalization in Japan. We present a simple model to show the relationship between political factors and interregional budget allocation and empirically examine whether political factors played a key role in the interregional allocation of Japanese government spending for the Uruguay Round agricultural trade liberalization. Our findings show that this allocation was distorted due to political reasons, which was problematic from the standpoints of fairness and social efficiency.

[source] ECHO ROUNDS: Percutaneous Balloon Valvuloplasty for Pulmonic Stenosis: The Role of Multimodality ImagingECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 2 2008Davinder S. Jassal M.D., F.R.C.P.C. Pulmonic valvular stenosis represents the most frequent cause of right ventricular outflow obstruction. Transthoracic echocardiography is the imaging modality of choice in the diagnosis, evaluation and longitudinal follow-up of individuals with pulmonic stenosis (PS). Although valvular PS is usually diagnosed by two-dimensional imaging, Doppler echocardiography allows for the quantification of severity of the valvular lesion. In patients with limited acoustic windows, computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may provide complementary anatomical characterization of the pulmonic annulus and valve prior to percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. [source] A Delphi survey of the views of adult male patients with personality disorders on psychoeducation and social problem-solving therapyCRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR AND MENTAL HEALTH, Issue 5 2007Mary McMurran Background,Psychoeducation and social problem-solving therapy are treatment components that work well in tandem for offenders with personality disorders, hence it is worthwhile to maintain and improve their effectiveness. Aim,The aim was to seek patients' views of these therapies to contribute to their development. Method,A Delphi survey was conducted with all 12 male inpatients of a personality disorder hospital treatment unit. Results,Round 1 produced 30 statements for psychoeducation and 59 for social problem-solving therapy to be rated in Round 2. There was consensus at a level of 70% for all items. Both psychoeducation and social problem-solving therapies were viewed as useful by these patients. The men also suggested improvements in psychoeducation, including minimizing the delay between assessment and feedback, provision of reference material, preparation for the work and support afterwards. Areas identified for improvement in social problem-solving therapy included more frequent review of progress, greater consistency of delivery, eliciting problems more effectively, providing reference material, supporting patients in group work, and the development of an advanced therapy. Discussion,A Delphi approach to evaluation of therapies with the people receiving them is not only feasible but seems to offer a practical way of making useful clinical adjustments to the work. Further research with larger samples might usefully focus on whether such an approach enhances treatment compliance. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Africa, Tropical Commodity Policy and the WTO Doha RoundDEVELOPMENT POLICY REVIEW, Issue 1 2007Peter Gibbon Despite their critical importance for Africa, and African efforts to the contrary, tropical commodity problems have been touched on only marginally in the WTO Doha Round. This article examines African proposals in the area, their reception in the WTO, and their relation to the current international policy debate. It goes on to provide an explanation, in political economy terms, for their relative success and failure, before concluding by discussing the prospects for finding any international forum where the issues raised by African countries could receive meaningful consideration. [source] A Round By Any Other Name: The WTO Agenda After DohaDEVELOPMENT POLICY REVIEW, Issue 1 2002Sam Laird The WTO agenda decided at Doha in November 2001 has all the hallmarks of a new trade round, although the word ,round' has been carefully avoided. To the already mandated negotiations on agriculture and services, Doha added negotiations on industrial products and the environment as well as reviews of the operation of WTO rules in several areas. Negotiations are also to begin on the highly contentious areas of investment and competition policy. Developing countries have been reluctant to contemplate such wider commitments, arguing that much still remains to be done on implementation of the Uruguay Round, and in this they received a degree of satisfaction. In the work ahead, however, much needs to be done to take account of their needs. [source] Distributional effects of WTO agricultural reforms in rich and poor countriesECONOMIC POLICY, Issue 50 2007Thomas W. Hertel SUMMARY WTO agricultural reforms Rich countries' agricultural trade policies are the battleground on which the future of the WTO's troubled Doha Round will be determined. Subject to widespread criticism, they nonetheless appear to be almost immune to serious reform, and one of their most common defences is that they protect poor farmers. Our findings reject this claim. The analysis conducted here uses detailed data on farm incomes to show that major commodity programmes are highly regressive in the US, and that the only serious losses under trade reform are among large, wealthy farmers in a few heavily protected sub-sectors. In contrast, analysis using household data from 15 developing countries indicates that reforming rich countries' agricultural trade policies would lift large numbers of developing country farm households out of poverty. In the majority of cases these gains are not outweighed by the poverty-increasing effects of higher food prices among other households. Agricultural reforms that appear feasible, even under an ambitious Doha Round, achieve only a fraction of the benefits for developing countries that full liberalization promises, but protect the wealthiest US farms from most of the rigors of adjustment. Finally, the analysis conducted here indicates that maximal trade-led poverty reductions occur when developing countries participate more fully in agricultural trade liberalization. , Thomas W.

Alan Winters [source] The release of elongated, sheathed ascospores from bottle-shaped asci in Dipodascus geniculatusFEMS YEAST RESEARCH, Issue 2 2007Ané Van Heerden Abstract Yeasts use different mechanisms to release ascospores of different lengths from bottle-shaped asci. Round to oval-shaped ascospores are enveloped in oxylipin-coated compressible sheaths, enabling ascospores to slide past each other when they reach the narrowing ascus neck. However, more elongated ascospores do not contain sheaths, but are linked by means of oxylipin-coated interlocked hooked ridges on the surfaces of neighboring ascospores, thereby keeping them aligned while they are pushed towards the ascus tip by turgor pressure. In this study, we found elongated, oxylipin-coated sheathed ascospores in Dipodascus geniculatus that are released effectively from bottle-shaped asci without alignment. This is possible because the ascus neck and opening have a diameter that is the same as the length of the ascospore, thus allowing the ascospores to turn sideways without blocking the ascus when they are released. We found that increased concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid inhibit both ascospore release and 3-hydroxy oxylipin production in this yeast, thereby implicating this oxylipin in sexual reproduction. [source] Predicting a State's Foreign Policy: State Preferences between Domestic and International ConstraintsFOREIGN POLICY ANALYSIS, Issue 3 2007Gerry C. Alons In order to understand a state's foreign policy preferences, we need to take both its domestic and international considerations into account. This article aims to contribute to the analysis of foreign policy by exploring the conditions under which states will either give precedence to domestic or international incentives. Two central variables are used to generate predictions on the expected primacy of either level. The first variable is "internal polarity", that is, the degree of concentration of power in the hands of the government relative to society. The second variable is "external polarity", referring to the degree of centralization of power in the international system. It will be argued that various combinations of scores on these variables affect the formation of foreign policy preferences differently. When internal polarity is low and external polarity is high, domestic considerations will be decisive. On the contrary, when internal polarity is high and external polarity is low, international considerations will be decisive. With respect to the other two combinations, process variables such as the degree of domestic mobilization and the sensitivity of the government are expected to gain particular importance in tilting the balance towards either domestic or international considerations. A preliminary test of the theoretical framework is provided by applying it to French and German preference formation on the 1988 CAP-reform and the agricultural aspects of the Uruguay Round of GATT-negotiations between 1990 and 1993.

[source] Consumer morality in times of economic hardship: evidence from the European Social SurveyINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CONSUMER STUDIES, Issue 2 2010*Article first published online: 1 FEB 2010, Cláudia Abreu Lopes Abstract Crimes of everyday life, often referred to as unfair or unethical practices committed in the marketplace by those who see themselves and are seen as respectable citizens, have burgeoned as a result of the transformations in the European economy in the late 20th century, namely the transition to neo-liberal markets and the emergence of consumer society. A ,cornucopia of new criminal opportunities' has given rise to a new range of crimes such as ripping software, making false insurance claims or paying cash on hand to circumvent taxes. These shady behaviours (legal or not) are part of people's experience, albeit they are collectively regarded as morally dubious. Taken collectively, crimes of everyday life are indicators of the moral stage of a particular society and therefore a valuable instrument for social and political analysis. This paper addresses the question of whether and under which conditions feelings of economic hardship trigger crimes of everyday life. A multilevel theoretical and empirical perspective that integrates theories stemming from political science, sociology, and social psychology is adopted. I start by exploring the embeddedness of economic morality in social institutions, followed by an elaboration of the concept of market anomie to account for deviant behaviour in the marketplace, to finally step down to the examination of the correspondence between social attitudes and consumer behaviour, as postulated by the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The empirical study relies on micro data from the European Social Survey (ESS) (Round 2) and attempts to model, for each country, a formative measure of crimes of everyday life based on socio-demographic variables and the current economic situation, as it is perceived by the individual (taken as a measure of relative deprivation). The resultant country-specific regression coefficients are mapped onto the broader economic and normative context of 23 European countries. The results reveal that crimes of everyday life are driven by feelings of economic hardship only in countries where normative factors dictate their deviance. In countries where fraudulent behaviour is more generalized, inner motivations to offend play a secondary role as the more privileged consumers are more likely to commit fraud as they interact more often with the market. In turn, normative aspects result from a dynamic interplay of cultural and economic factors. As the economy grows faster, the tendency to offend in the market becomes more visible, but only in countries whose gross domestic product (GDP) stands above the European average. In countries with low GDP, the normative landscape is shaped by cultural factors that seem to obfuscate the power of economic factors favourable to consumer fraud. [source] Amyloidosis: a rheumatological perspective on diagnosis, further investigation and treatmentINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RHEUMATIC DISEASES, Issue 1 2008S. K. L. LAM Abstract In this Grand Round, we present a 58-year-old man with a presumptive diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who was being managed by a plastic surgery unit for a dorsal swelling of his right hand. While awaiting surgery for this lesion, he sustained a pathological fracture of his left neck of femur. This necessitated a total hip joint replacement and pathology revealed amyloidosis. Excision of the hand swelling also revealed amyloidosis as the cause. We discuss the ways in which amyloidosis can mimic musculoskeletal disease as well as the importance and some potential pitfalls of further investigation and management once the diagnosis of amyloidosis has been made. [source] Trade Politics Ain't What It Used to Be: The European Union in the Doha Round,JCMS: JOURNAL OF COMMON MARKET STUDIES, Issue 4 2007ALASDAIR R. YOUNG The European Union is a key player in the Doha Development Round of multilateral trade negotiations. This article argues that its negotiating position reflects distinctive patterns of politics underlying three aspects of trade policy , traditional trade policy, commercial policy and social trade policy , characterized by different sets of actors and political dynamics. Although there is significant variation in the substance of the EU's position within each aspect of trade policy, their distinctive patterns of politics help to explain why the EU's negotiating position is most liberal in traditional trade policy and least in social trade policy. [source] Gray-scale sonography of solid breast masses: Diagnosis of probably benign masses and reduction of the number of biopsiesJOURNAL OF CLINICAL ULTRASOUND, Issue 1 2007Luciano Chala MD Abstract Purpose. To identify probably benign breast masses using gray-scale sonography and to see if this strategy could reduce the number of biopsies of breast masses. Methods. This retrospective study included 229 masses in 203 women who underwent sonographically guided percutaneous biopsy. Masses with a negative predictive value for malignancy >98% were retrospectively considered probably benign, and the potential impact of gray-scale sonography in reducing the number of biopsies if these masses were not biopsied was assessed. Assessments were performed considering all masses as a group as well as various subgroups. Results. Round, ellipsoid, or lobulated masses with 3 or fewer lobulations, circumscribed margins, a longitudinal,anteroposterior diameter ratio ,1.0 and no marked hypoechogenicity, posterior acoustic shad owing, internal microcalcifications, or altered surrounding breast tissue were considered probably benign. The sensitivity of gray-scale sonography to identify this subgroup was 98%, with a negative predictive value of 99%. If these masses were not biopsied, there would be a 42% reduction in the number of biopsies considering all masses, a 36% reduction for masses classified as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 4, and a 59% reduction for masses exclusively analyzed with sonography. Conclusions. It is possible to identify probably benign breast masses using gray-scale sonography, and thereby to reduce the number of biopsies performed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Warne Lecture: Is It Time for Another Round of Consumer Protection?JOURNAL OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, Issue 1 2010The Lessons of Twentieth-Century U.S. History The first year of Barack Obama's presidency has returned consumer issues to center stage, with several contentious struggles over consumer protection. This moment can be viewed as a fourth wave of the twentieth-century consumer movement, and a comparison with the first three waves (during the Progressive Era, the New Deal, and the 1960s,1970s) offers instructive insights. In particular, the contemporary battle over the Consumer Financial Protection Agency bears striking similarities to the failed campaign for a Consumer Protection Agency in the 1970s.

The pathogenesis of the vascular complications and the current treatment regimens were discussed in relation to the history and examinations performed in these patients. [source] A NEW PARADIGM FOR FRESHWATER FRAGILARIOID DIATOM CLASSIFICATION?JOURNAL OF PHYCOLOGY, Issue 2001A CRITIQUE OF LANGE-BERTALOT'S NEW SYSTEM Morales, E. A.1 & Trainor, F. R.2 1Phycology Section, Patrick Center for Environmental Research, The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, PA 19103-1195 USA; 2Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269-3043 USA In a recent study of freshwater diatoms from South America (Rumrich et al. 2000), Lange-Bertalot introduced a new paradigm for the classification of fragilarioid diatoms. This new system is antagonistic to that presented by Williams and Round (1987) because Lange-Bertalot recognizes a marked variability in the characters chosen and a supposed overall continuity of morphological features among the genera created by his English counterparts. Lange-Bertalot then proposes a partitioning of Fragilaria into two genera: Fragilaria and Staurosira mainly based on the presence/absence of rimoportulae and areolate girdle bands. The newly defined Fragilaria includes relatively large phytoplankters such as F. capucina and F. crotonensis. In turn, Staurosira includes, for the most part, small periphytic organisms, and contains several new species that were based on varieties of old Fragilaria taxa. This fragmentation of species and their varieties is based on a supposed morphological discontinuity. As a consequence an apparent increase in species diversity has occurred within the fragilarioid group. The present work analyzes Lange-Bertalot's new paradigm and confronts it with recent LM and SEM evidence. The incorporation of concepts such as plasticity, polymorphism, and parallel evolution in current classification systems is also discussed. It is concluded that Lange-Bertalot's system represents a step backward from that of Williams and Round. Some adjustments in the latter scheme could be sufficient to accommodate the diversity of fragilarioids known at present.

Morales SUMMARY Several populations identified and reported from North America and Mongolia under the names Fragilaria elliptica Schumann or Staurosira elliptica (Schumann) Williams et Round were analyzed in detail using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analysis yielded three variants that can not be ascribed to ,elliptica' of the type. Furthermore, two of the variants could not be related to published taxa and we describe them as new species, Staurosira ambigua sp. nov. and Staurosira dimorpha sp. nov. A third variant was identified as Pseudostaurosira trainorii Morales, a taxon originally reported from ponds and a river in the north-eastern USA. The combined LM and SEM analysis used here allowed for a more thorough circumscription of taxonomic boundaries among morphologically similar taxa and for better delimitation of their geographic distributions. A discussion of the taxonomy and ecology of these taxa based on literature and recent ecological data is presented.

[source] The Northern Ireland Civil Service: Characteristics and Trends Since 1970PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, Issue 1 2002Paul Carmichael "This is a damned funny country. There's one crowd singing ,Wrap the Green Flag Round Me' and another crowd sings ,Rule Britannia' and there's a lot of bloody civil servants up there in Stormont drawing twenty pounds a week and laughing at the lot of us."Comment made in 1939 to Patrick Shea, cited in Shea 1981, p. 205. This paper offers a summary of research on the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) that has been undertaken as part of an ESRC-supported project examining the changing nature of civil services throughout the British Isles. Not since Gladden's seminal work in 1967 have studies of the British Civil Services offered sufficient coverage of the long-existing variations within the UK. The weaknesses in coverage are particularly visible with respect to the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS), which is accorded either footnote status in most work or even ignored altogether. A compelling case for closing the gap in the literature is underscored by the political devolution that was introduced after 1998. Far from being the unitary state associated with the Westminster model, the UK exhibits the features of a differentiated polity in which figure the contradictory impulses of centralization and fragmentation. In illustrating ,parity with particularity', the civil service arrangements obtaining within the Province of Northern Ireland clearly exemplify the differentiation with the UK. Moreover, with devolved fora now established for both Scotland and Wales, with associated pressure for more distinctive and even separate civil arrangements in each, Northern Ireland's experience offers valuable lessons on how the UK civil service may develop in Scotland and Wales. [source] A collaborative approach to the environmental assessment process prior to oil exploration activities offshore the Falkland IslandsAQUATIC CONSERVATION: MARINE AND FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS, Issue 1 2002Liz Hopkins Abstract 1.Operating Companies awarded acreage in the Falkland Islands First Offshore Licensing Round began exploration for oil and gas in 1996. Appropriate environmental management is an important aspect of exploration activities in any new frontier area and the Falklands Islands were no exception. Operators with drilling commitments established the Falklands Operators Sharing Agreement (FOSA), which included an Environmental Workgroup (EWG) to take responsibility for the environmental issues associated with exploration activities. 2.The EWG was established early in the exploration programme and commissioned a number of specific environmental studies relating to the offshore environment of the Islands. The data made available by this research provided a valuable input to the assessment of potential environmental impacts from the planned exploration activities. By undertaking environmental impact assessments prior to exploration activities FOSA were able to identify and adopt operational and management controls to ensure potential environmental impacts were, where possible, minimized or avoided. 3.The EWG also provided the main point of contact with the regulators on environmental matters and through the Falkland Islands Exploration & Production Environmental Forum facilitated consultation with government departments such as Fisheries, and other stakeholders such as Falklands Conservation. 4.The co-operative approach taken by the operators with regard to the environmental management of the exploration activities offshore the Falkland Islands is considered to have been very successful. The most obvious benefits were through the shared resources resulting in financial savings, however, other benefits have included, avoiding duplication of effort, the promoting of ,working togetherness' and a reduced burden on consultees.

[source] Paleoproterozoic, High-Metamorphic, Metasedimentary Units of Siberian CratonACTA GEOLOGICA SINICA (ENGLISH EDITION), Issue 5 2009Lena URMANTSEVA Abstract: Sensitive, high-resolution ion microprobe zircon U,Pb ages of Paleoproterozoic, high-grade, metasedimentary rocks from the south-western part of the Siberian Craton are reported. Early Precambrian, high-grade complexes, including garnet,biotite, hypersthene,biotite, and cordierite-bearing gneisses compose the Irkut terrane of the Sharyzhalgay Uplift. Protoliths of studied gneisses correspond to terrigenous sediments, ranging from greywacke to shale. The paragneiss model Nd ages of 2.4,3.1 Ga indicate Archean-to-Paleoproterozoic source provinces. Zircons from gneisses show core-rim textures in cathodoluminescence (CL) image. Round or irregular shaped cores indicate detrital origin. Structureless rims with low Th/U are metamorphic in origin. The three age groups of detrital cores are: ,2.7, ,2.3, and 1.95,2 Ga. The ages of metamorphic rims range from 1.86 to 1.85 Ga; therefore, the sediments were deposited between 1.95 and 1.86 Ga and derived from Archean and Paleoproterozoic source rocks. It should be noted that Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Irkut Block are not unique. High-grade metaterrigenous sediments, with model Nd ages ranging from 2.3 to 2.5 Ga, are widely distributed within the Aldan and Anabar Shields of the Siberian Craton. The same situation is observed in the North China Craton, where metasedimentary rocks contain detrital igneous zircon grains with ages ranging from 3 to 2.1 Ga (Wan et al., 2006). All of these sedimentary units were subjected to Late Paleoproterozoic metamorphism. In the Siberian Craton, the Paleoproterozoic sedimentary deposits are possibly marked passive margins of the Early Precambrian crustal blocks, and their high-grade metamorphism was related to the consolidation of the Siberian Craton.
