Peter Logan: Victorian Fetishism [Audio interview]
No full textPeter Logan is the author of Nerves and Narratives: A Cultural History of Hysteria in Nineteenth-Century British Prose (1997) and, more recently, Victorian Fetishism: Intellectuals and Primitives (2009). On May 15, 2012, Fred Rowland interviewed Peter Logan to discuss Victorian Fetishism, which details the development of ideas about the primitive and how these concepts set the boundaries of culture in Victorian Britain. Drawing from Lucretius, Vico, and Auguste Comte, Peter Logan explains how fetishism – the defining feature of culture’s absence – figured in the works of literary and cultural critic Matthew Arnold, realist novelist George Eliot, and anthropologist Edward Tylor.Temple University.

Field efficacy and economic viability of entomopathogenic fungal products for managing the tomato leafminer (tuta absoluta) in Uganda
No full textxii,92p.:ill (some col)Management of the invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) has primarily relied on increased application of hazardous synthetic chemical pesticides with limited success. The use of entomopathogens has been advanced among safer and more sustainable management options. The field efficacy of candidate fungal isolates, Metarhizium anisopliae ICIPE 20, M. anisopliae ICIPE 69 (Campaign®) and Dudu Acelamectin (positive check) was evaluated against T. absoluta on tomato through inundative application. Experiments with treatments laid in Randomised Complete Block Design and replicated thrice, were conducted during cropping seasons April – July, 2019 (first season) and December, 2019 – March, 2020 (second season) at Mukono Zonal Agricultural Research & Development Institute, Mukono district in Uganda. Tuta absoluta incidence, injury severity on leaves and fruits, fruit yield loss, and economic viability of test treatments were assessed. Results showed generally reduced injury severity and significantly lower fruit yield loss in treated plots compared to untreated plot in both seasons. Tomato fruit yield was higher in treated plots than the untreated plot. The marketable fruit yield gain for Dudu Acelamectin, M. anisopliae ICIPE 20 and M. anisopliae ICIPE 69 treatments was respectively 130.15, 72.14 and 55.3% during first season, and 41.21, 22.01 and 15.85% during second season. The three respective treatments had Benefit cost ratio (BCR) of 8.92, 4.31 and 3.43 during first season, and 6.30, 2.84 and 2.14 during second season. The treatments showed a degree of effectiveness and economic viability in controlling T. absoluta on tomato in the field. However, the efficacy of M. anisopliae ICIPE 20 and ICIPE 69 should be assessed further at different agro-ecological zones, dosages, formulations, large scale, and their compatibility with the pesticides commonly used in tomato production systems
A Critical Encounter with Fred Dallmayr: Introduction
No full textThe article presents memories of the author when he chaired a book review panel on sociologist Fred Dallmayr\u27s book Critical Encounters, at the annual meeting of the Society for Phenomenology and the Human Sciences held at Duquesne University in 1989. The author says that reviewers Peter Kivisto and Dieter Misgeld, each offered insightful and critical commentary on Dalimayr\u27s work after which Dalimayr had the opportunity to respond. Kivisto and Misgeld were friendly and supportive in their reading of Dalimayr. Yet each raises in a somewhat different way that Dalimayr\u27s essays were more oriented toward philosophical abstractions than political or practical matters. The author further says that theoretical reserve must resist the impulse to provide technique and a calculus because the latter offer the false hope of escaping from the hermeneutical. A brief biographical sketch of Dalimayr is provided with a focus on his career. Also a selected bibliography of latest works by Dalimayr is provided in the article
Revised estimates and projections of international migration : 1980-2000
No full textThis report reviews the World Bank's latest international migration statistics for every country in the world for each five year period from 1980 - 2000. The estimates and projections of net international migration during this period will be used as input statistics for the forthcoming edition of the World Population Projections. In the early 1980s, net international migration to all receiving countries totaled more than 1.2 million persons a year. The author assumes this figure to gradually decrease to fewer than 900,000 persons a year in the period 1995 - 2000. The current male dominance of international migration flows is also expected to decrease. He also assumes that the importance of the United States as a prime destination of immigrants will increase substantially in the 1990s. Mexico is by far the largest net exporter of international migrants.Human Migrations&Resettlements,Voluntary and Involuntary Resettlement,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,International Migration,Gender and Social Development
Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work

On Growth and Income Distribution in a Globalizing World
No full textThe basic idea explaining the relationship between economic growth and income distribution is the “U- shaped hypothesis” postulated by Simon Kuznets. This can be shown in a dual-economy model with technical progress. Initially, inequality is low, but as labour participation in the modern sector increases, higher wages in this sector tend to increase inequality. However, if enough labour is incorporated in the modern sector, wage inequality begins to diminish. Income inequality continues to worsen between the two sectors, if a new modern economy (e.g. IT-based technical change) is introduced and potential GDP shifts to a new trajectory before the turning point is reached. In a globalised word, the substantial unskilled-labour-saving technical progress puts pressure on wages of unskilled workers (in industrialized countries). Also, globalization may be blamed for leaving many nations and millions of people out from reaping the benefits of globalization. This problem can only be overcome by appropriate reforms of the international economic system.Economic Growth, Income Distribution, Globalization
