To answer this question we estimate a version of the Burdett-Mortensen search equilibrium model and analyze how workers’ search behaviour responded to these reforms. We try both nonparametric and fully-parametric estimation methods and identify the cases in which the nonparametric approach cannot be applied. We find that the entitlement reforms are largely responsible for the increase of unemployment among unskilled workers

Anchieta: local transformation and building the craft beer market in Porto Alegre (Brazil)
No full textThis chapter focuses on the changes that impacted the
transformation of Anchieta District, in Porto Alegre, an
abandoned and impoverished area, and how it has transformed
into a thriving craft beer production site, acquiring
a new profile and social status as a brewery hub after the
installation of several breweries in the last 12 years. At the
same time, we have observed the opening of pubs next to
the breweries and a growing circulation of consumers who
have started attending events, festivals, and tourist routes
to visit the breweries, taste the beers next to the breweries,
and have beer tasting meetings directly with master
brewers. The actions that have brought about these changes
result from articulation and collaboration among artisanal
breweries and activities of municipal and federal public
authorities through tax reductions and laws that stimulate
brewpubs opening and promote beer tourism
Andrey Bely: A Critical Review
No full textAndrey Bely, novelist, essayist, theoretician, critic, and poet, was a central figure in the Russian Symbolist movement of the 1920s, the most important literary movement in Russia in this century. Bely articulated a Symbolist aesthetic and originated a new approach to the study of Russian metrics and versification, giving rise to a new scholarly discipline that still thrives in the West.
Although regarded by some critics, including Vladimir Nabokov, as the author of the greatest Russian novel of this century, Bely has been nearly forgotten in his native country for ideological reasons. In the West he remains little known and generally under-valued. But with recent English translations of Kotik Letaev and his masterpiece, Petersburg, interest in Bely is increasing. Janecek\u27s book brings together some of the best modern scholarship on Bely and the Russian Symbolist movement of the 1920s.
Gerald Janecek is associate professor of Russian at the University of Kentucky.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_slavic_languages_and_societies/1001/thumbnail.jp
Andrey Kiselev: the life and the legend
No full textThis article is devoted to Andrey Kiselev, probably the most well-known Russian author of mathematics textbooks. His books remained in schools for nearly one hundred years, and his name became legendary, symbolizing the “good old days” when all was supposedly well with mathematics education. Meanwhile, even in Russia, let alone abroad, many aspects of Kiselev’s life are little known. Their study facilitates a better understanding of the complicated nature of the development of Russian and Soviet mathematics education, including the connection between them and seemingly distant social-political issues. The present article undertakes such a study. The author draws on his Russian publications, materials from Russian archives, and other primary sources

A execução orçamentária da saúde: estudo de caso no município de Porto Velho - Rondônia
No full textA dissertação se dedica à investigação do que impede a execução orçamentária do orçamento da saúde, de modo, que haja saldos remanescentes na conta do fundo municipal de saúde. Este estudo de caso será feito considerando o município de Porto Velho – Rondônia e se apoia em três vertentes, a primeira na literatura que aponta as dificuldades de execução a partir do método de elaboração orçamentária adotado; a segunda, a influência de ações políticas na utilização dos recursos; e a terceira, a partir da interpretação dos gestores públicos da saúde no município de Porto Velho – Rondônia. A pesquisa objetiva apresentar os principais motivos para que a execução orçamentária não seja executada em sua totalidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa que combina técnicas da revisão bibliográfica, análise da legislação que rege o uso destes recursos, e análise das peças do planejamento da saúde Plano Municipal de Saúde (PMS) e Programação Anual da Saúde (PAS). Também a análise de dados obtidos através de três bases i) sistema de informações sobre orçamentos públicos em saúde (SIOPS), ii) plataforma online do Fundo Nacional de Saúde, iii) painéis do CONASEMS, no período de 2002 a 2012 para cálculo das taxas de não execução liquida e bruta. A pesquisa corrobora a análise da execução orçamentária e compreensão dos impactos no sistema único de saúde municipal.The dissertation focuses on investigating the factors preventing the budget execution of the health budget, resulting in remaining balances in the municipal health fund account. This case study will be conducted considering the municipality of Porto Velho - Rondônia and is based on three main aspects: firstly, on literature that highlights the difficulties of execution based on the budgeting method adopted; secondly, on the influence of political actions on resource utilization; and thirdly, on the interpretation of public health managers in the municipality of Porto Velho - Rondônia. The research aims to present the main reasons for the budget execution not being carried out in its entirety. It is a study that combines techniques from literature review, analysis of legislation governing the use of these resources, and examination of health planning documents such as the Municipal Health Plan (PMS) and Annual Health Programming (PAS). Data analysis is based on three sources: i) the Public Health Budget Information System (SIOPS), ii) the online platform of the National Health Fund, iii) CONASEMS panels, from 2002 to 2012, to calculate net and gross non-execution rates. The research supports the analysis of budget execution and understanding of its impacts on the municipal unified health system
Andrey Muraviev’s The Russian Vilnius
No full textThe article is an attempt to present the impressions of Andrey Muraviev, religious writer,
theologian, poet, playwright, church and state activist, from his stay in Vilnius in 1863, on the basis of his work entitled The Russian Vilnius. It consists of six essays on Vilnius religious monuments: the Chapel of Our Lady of Ostra Brama, St. Paraskeva Orthodox church, Orthodox cathedral of Our Most Holy Lady, Orthodox church of translation of St Nicholas’ relics, Holy Trinity cathedral, Holy Spirit church and monastery complex. The author was only interested in monuments which would document the city’s connections to Russia and Orthodox Christianity. His reflections might be considered as a literary justification for the program of Russification of the north-west country, developed by the writer’s brother, Mikhail, who went down in Polish historical memory as Veshatiel
