Trade and Labor Reallocation with Heterogeneous Enforcement of Labor Regulations This paper revisits the question of how trade openness affects labor market outcomes in a developing country setting. We explore the fact that plants face varying degrees of exposure to global markets and to the enforcement of labor market regulations, and rely on Brazil’s currency crisis in 1999 as an exogenous so...

Studies on delinquent behaviour have frequently shown that firstborn children are less involved in delinquency than middle-born children. We suggest that differential parental control of the children depending on their ordinal position might account for this phenomenon. The study, carried out with a French representative sample (n /1129), indicated that firstborns were more supervised than midd...

according to gas development in most provinces in recent years and the expansion of gas transfer pipeline in parallel, paying attention to project supply chains and related risks is necessary more than past. due to specific structure of project supply chain based on government regulations, this article is aimed at presenting a model to mitigate risks on projects supply chain in state gas compan...

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a highly prevalent chronic respiratory disorder with prevalence among adult males of ≥10%. The most common daytime symptom associated with OSAS is excessive sleepiness, which in more severe manifestations can result in sleepiness at the wheel while driving and probably contributes to the substantial increase in accident risk among patients with OSAS. ...

Purpose Considering the human contribution to car crashes, it seems necessary to make a distinction between different forms of aberrant driver behaviour and its different psychological origins. The aim of the present study was to determine the factors that affect driving behaviour, to prepare a factor model, to identify the role of age, gender, kilometres driven per year, and social status, and...

Higher levels of road vehicle automation pose a regulatory challenge in the U.S. At the national level, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been responsible for ensuring vehicle safety through the mandatory Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and the voluntary New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). Although NHTSA typically regulates the technology aspects of ve...

The failure to account for differences between adolescent males who offend against children and those who offend against peers may account for the similarities found between sexoffending samples and non-sexual delinquents. Psychopathy traits (grandiosity, impulsivity, lack of empathy, interpersonally exploitative and risk-taking) and antisocial behaviour, including behaviours and age of onset f...

BACKGROUND Traffic offences have been considered an important predictor of crash involvement, and have often been used as a proxy safety variable for crashes. However the association between crashes and offences has never been meta-analysed and the population effect size never established. Research is yet to determine the extent to which this relationship may be spuriously inflated through syst...

The documented analysis of the forest offences revealed eight forest offence types with prevalent cases being chainsaw milling, illegal logging and illegal farming. Between 2005 and 2010, the district recorded 121 offences with more offences occurring in the on-reserve areas than in the off-reserve areas. The timber species, which was most exploited illegally is Triplochiton scleroxylon (wawa),...
