The present study was conducted to observe in-vitro application of different concentrations of salicylic acid on mycelial growth and conidial germination of two isolates of Fusarium mangiferae.

This article deals with two pioneer scholars of postmodernism, David Harvey and Perry Anderson. The former disagrees with Jameson’s response to postmodern condition, and the latter concentrates on the economic and geopolitical conditions that have nurtured the idea and changes. However, both of them are aware of the totality of contemporary life. Postmodern condition, for Harvey, is dangerous as it avoids the issues of the realities of political economy and global power.

This study is particularly interested in what motivates lecturers to try emerging technologies – those teaching and learning technologies that are new, or are used in new ways, or in new contexts to change teaching practices. This paper analyses the responses of university lecturers in South Africa, who use emerging technologies in their teaching, to a national survey which asked what motivates their practice. The rationales that lecturers use to explain their practices include a mix of pedagogic concerns, pragmatism and external imperatives.

In the case studies, lack of institutional capacity and non-transparent processes that did not involve local consultation led to overlapping land claims, conflict, and negative outcomes for local communities. Weak land governance creates challenges to reigning in opportunistic behavior by elites, e.g. by ensuring proper consultation with local and indigenous populations and makes it difficult to appreciate the true value of a piece of land. In many cases this appears to have resulted in land being transferred at implicit values that were well below its opportunity cost.

How do the environments in which businesses operate condition their success or failure? Such questions have long been of interest in the fields of business, economics and politics.

This book thoroughly examines the main claims of the most important contribution--the Varieties of Capitalism paradigm--to this debate in recent years....

The Conditions of Contract prepared by FIDIC have for many years had no rival as the standard form of choice for use in the international construc-tion industry. Traditionally in the standard FIDIC forms the Engineer was given an authoritative role, enabling him to make informed judgements concerning the conduct and execution of projects with a large measure of independence from the Employer. From time to time FIDIC updated these standard forms, continuing to maintain the traditional role of the Engineer, culminating in the 4 th Edition 1987 (reprinted 1992)....

The enlargement of the European Community (EC) and later the European Union (EU) was never particularly popular.2 Indeed, the first attempt at widening the EU culminated in the Community’s “first real crisis” when Charles de Gaulle, then-President of France, rejected the British accession in a dramatic press conference at the E´ lyse´e Palace (Nicholson and East 1987, 39). He claimed that Britain’s conditions for joining the Union were unacceptable to France.

The second leading cause of maternal death is pre-eclampsia and eclampsia—most often detected through the elevation of blood pressure during pregnancy—which can lead to seizures, kidney and liver damage, and death, if untreated. These conditions claim the lives of an estimated 63,000 women each year, as well as the lives of many of their babies. 3 The risk that a woman in a developing country will die of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia is approximately 300 times higher than that for a woman in a developed country.

Criminal law is a species of political and moral philosophy. Its central question is justifying the use of the state's coercive power against free and autonomous persons. The link with moral philosophy derives from one answer to the problem of justifying the use of state power. If the rationale or a limiting condition of criminal punishment is personal desert, then legal theory invariably interweaves with philosophical claims about wrongdoing, culpability, justifying circumstances and excuses.

Unfortunately, data on the installation and use of pollution control equipment at our two sample maquiladora plants is limited. While the two plants claim to use emissions abatement devices, regulatory inspection and monitoring data is not available, and there is no easy way of verifying these claims. To account for this issue, we present estimates of health damages given: (i) emissions that would result if the plants used no pollution control devices whatsoever, and (ii) emissions that would result if they used all of the pollution control equipment that is standard in U.S.

There are strong interdependencies between banks and governments, through both balance sheet and contingent claim exposures. These interdependencies mutually reinforce the macroeconomic propagation of banking or sovereign market tensions. Second, given the fragmentation of some market segments and the setback to European banking sector integration, persistent cross-country heterogeneity needs to be considered. Third, a proper assessment of fi nancing conditions hinges on the distinction between demand and supply-side factors in credit intermediation.
