The effect of demographic changes on saving for life cycle motives in developing countries
No full textIf developing countries follow the same paths that industrialized countries have followed, saving for retirement will initially become more important as the population growth rate declines. To calculate the potential importance of life-cycle savings (saving for retirement), the paper presents a simulation model that translates demographic projections into savings-rate projections. It simulated aggregate rates for life-cycle savings for Brazil, China, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey. The savings rates increase 5 or 6 percentage points when the last baby boomers enter the work force and begin to save after their children leave home. The effect on life-cycle savings is dramatic; the effect on total savings rates which are often three or four times as high, is not. Simulated life-cycle savings rates peak at an absolute 10 percent or less in all cases. The patterns of these projections seem robust with regard to assumptions about productivity growth, interest rates, and age-specific participation in the labor force.Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Inequality

Environmental novelty differentially affects amphetamine-induced c-fos mRNA expression in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and amygdala
No full textThe environmental context in which amphetamine or cocaine are administered modulates both their acute psychomotor activating effects and their ability to induce sensitization. Here we report that environmental context differentially affects patterns of amphetamine- and cocaine-induced c-fos mRNA expression in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and amygdala of male rats.
In the medial amygdala and medial posterior BST, exposure to novelty resulted in a marked increase in c-fos mRNA. Amphetamine given at home did not induce c-fos mRNA, and when given in the novel environment, did not increase levels beyond that observed for novelty alone. In the basolateral and lateral amygdala, amphetamine or cocaine at home or exposure to novelty induced c-fosmRNA. When amphetamine or cocaine was given in a novel environment the c-fos mRNA response was significantly enhanced. In the central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) and oval subnucleus of the BST (BSTov), amphetamine administration at home produced a robust increase in c-fos mRNA expression, whereas exposure to novelty had little effect. In contrast to other brain regions examined, the c-fos mRNA response to amphetamine in a novel versus home environment was significantly smaller. In both “home” and “novel” amphetamine groups, c-fos mRNA in the BSTov and CEA was predominantly expressed in enkephalin-containing cells; coexpression with corticotropin-releasing hormone was rare.
These data suggest that the context in which psychostimulants are given powerfully and differentially alters the response of limbic structures that have been functionally implicated in drug reinforcement and emotional behaviors.Peer reviewedFinal article publishedamphetaminecocainenoveltyenvironmentc-fosamygdalabed nucleus of the stria terminalisdopamin

Reception history meets history: The case of the Zabludowsky epitaphs from Białystok
No full textThe article is devoted to the Jewish epitaphs of the Zabludowsky family from Białystok. Its author notes in the introduction: "The Jewish epitaph is static. Unlike biblical texts or other literary texts, it is not translated over place or time. Composed in near proximity to a person’s passing, the Jewish epitaph offers a reflection on the deceased’s life, aligned with individual preferences, family values and/or community preconceptions. Its formulaic structure and general language are part of the Jewish epitaphic tradition, dating back to the 13th century in Eastern Europe." The researcher recognizes the value of epitaphs as a source in the history of the Jewish community in Białystok from around 1865 to 1939: "This time frame marks the limits of the extant Zabludowsky epitaphs from Białystok, the specific focus of this paper. These epitaphs are recorded in two sources. The first, Abraham Samuel Herszberg’s Pinkos Białystok, a record book of the Jewish community of Białystok from its inception in the 16th century until just before World War II, contains epitaphs once preserved on the Old Rabbinic Cemetery in Białystok, dating from c. 1780–1900, as well as epitaphs that may still be extant on Bagnowka Jewish Cemetery, dating from 1892–1969 [i]. The other source is the extant epitaphs on Bagnowka Jewish Cemetery in Białystok. Today about 3000 of this cemetery’s original 30,000-35,000 tombstones, dating from 1892–1952 remain."HEIDI M.
