Review of the Monograph T.F. Khaidarov “Age of ‘Black Death’ in Golden Horde and Adjacent Regions” Kazan: Marjani Institute of History of Academy of Sciences, 2018. 304 P.
No full textThe author examines the monographic work of T.F. Khaidarov, devoted to the study of the second plague pandemic in the Golden Horde and neighboring territories, which was published in 2018. Researchers have already studied some aspects of the course of the Black Death in Eastern Europe. Before the publication of the monograph, T.F. Khaidarov had published several articles devoted to this problem. Despite this, the monograph is the first experience of a comprehensive study of the manifestations of the second plague pandemic in all their diversity in Eastern Europe. The objectives set in the book required the synthesis of various natural sciences (biology, climatology, medicine) and social (history, historical source study, social anthropology) disciplines. In the monograph phenomena of different scale are investigated. On the one hand, the epidemics in Eastern Europe were considered in the context of the worldwide course of the pandemic. On the other hand, from the researcher’s view did not escape the local phenomena: the specific dating of a particular outbreak of the epidemic, the problem of the perception of the disease by society, the features of its description, etc. In the review, an assessment is given to this "total" study of the pandemic. The advantage of this approach is that it overcomes the boundaries between different scientific disciplines, allows us to fill the knowledge that is fragmentary in each separate science. The drawback of this approach is that it leads to the absolutization of the plague factor in history. The study of Black Death becomes the main link in the whole multidisciplinary research, turns into a kind of paradigm. Sometimes this leads to incorrect reading of historical sources and scientific works. Despite the revealed shortcomings, it should be recognized that the monograph of T.F. Khaidarov is a serious step forward in the study of the problem at the present stage of the development of science
Two New Brazilian Species Of Phyllanthus (phyllanthaceae)
No full textTwo new Brazilian species of Phyllanthus L. are described and illustrated and their morphological affinities are discussed. Phyllanthus longipedi-cellatus M. J. Silva resembles P. auguslinii Baill. but differs by its leaves oblong-falcate to falcate-asymmetrical with margins obscurely serrulate, and pistillate flowers with patelliform disk. Phyllanthus salesiae M. J. Silva is similar to P. rosmarinifolius Miiller Argoviensis but it differs from the latter by its lacerate stipules, deeply lobed pistillate disk, incurved and bifid style, and seeds with darkish punctations. Both species are endemic to Brazil and known only from a single locality. The systematic position of both species with regard to the sections and subsections of Phyllanlhus is also discussed.192229233IUCN. 2001. IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, Version 3.1.

Understanding the Outcomes of Older Job Losers
No full textWe use an unusually rich Canadian survey to examine how post-job-loss behaviour and outcomes vary with age of the job loser. We find that older job losers experience greater post-displacement joblessness, and are less likely to return quickly to satisfactory employment. We show that this apparent age effect is not a job tenure effect or wealth effect. We also find that older job losers, compared to mid-career job losers, are as likely to report searching for work, but that they search less intensely (reporting fewer hours of search, and lower out of pocket expenditures on search). They are also less likely to retrain, less likely to undertake a geographic move, and less likely to switch occupations. Thus, the data suggest older job losers are less likely to make career investments after job loss. This may be a rational response to a shorter time horizon, or to more limited labour market opportunities.job loss, job search, older workers

Is Foreign-Owned Capital a Bad Thing to Tax?
No full textThe aging population has raised at least two concerns about tax policy. First, taxes will need to be increased to cover higher public-pension and medical-care expenses when baby boomers have retired. Second, taxes can be cut in the meantime, as the government realizes the "fiscal dividend" that accompanies its debt reduction program (that has been motivated by the aging population development). This paper uses a simple endogenous growth analysis to examine these issues. It is assumed that sales tax increases are infeasible on political grounds. Two conclusions emerge: the income tax rate levied on domestic residents should be cut during the debt-reduction period, and the tax rate on foreigners whose capital is operating in Canada should be increased later on when the bulk of the baby boomers have retired.fiscal policy, endogenous growth, open economy
Análise de fatores motivacionais em iniciantes à prática de musculação em academia
No full textTCC (Graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Desportos. Curso de Graduação em Educação Física.O objetivo central deste estudo foi verificar entre as seis dimensões motivacionais (Controle de Estresse, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Estética e Prazer) quais as que mais motivam iniciantes à prática de musculação como prática regular de Atividade Física e/ou Esportivas. Aplicou-se o Inventário de Motivação à Prática Regular de Atividade Física, o IMPRAF-54 (BALBINOTTI ; BARBOSA, 2008). A amostra foi composta por 47 indivíduos iniciantes à prática de musculação na academia AASSUFSC (Associação Atlética dos Servidores da UFSC). Constatou-se que com relação a variável Sexo, a dimensão que mais motiva os indivíduos é a Saúde, seguida das dimensões Prazer e Estética para homens, e Estética e Prazer paras mulheres, sendo as dimensões Controle de Estresse, Sociabilização e Competitividade as menos motivadoras. Com relação a variável Grupos de Idades (Adolescentes 18 – 20 anos, Jovens Adultos 21 – 40 anos), a Saúde é a dimensão que mais motiva ambos os grupos, seguida do Prazer, Estética e Controle do Estresse para o grupo de adolescentes, e Controle do Estresse e Estética para o grupo de jovens adultos. As dimensões que menos motivaram os dois grupos de idade, foram a Sociabilidade, e por último a Competitividade
