a r t i c l e i n f o The decentralization of resource property rights has become an increasingly popular policy in many natural resource-dependent communities of the developing world. However, the success of this policy approach depends on both collective action and institutionalization. It is therefore important to evaluate collective action and insti-tutionalization where the process of prop...

Interval models may be seen as a trade-off between numerical and qualitative models. They have been often referred as semi-qualitative models. The interval algebra is indeed a specific qualitative algebra with advantageous algebraic properties. This paper presents the application of an interval based parameter estimation method, which is used for learning fault models supporting the detection o...

The Sub ject of Con scious ness is a rich, strik ingly orig i nal and ambi tious work. It makes an impor tant and timely con tri bu tion to cur rent debates on a num ber of issues which over the last few years have been tak ing cen tre stage in the phi los o phy of mind: for exam ple, self-consciousness, selec tive atten tion and the nature of bodily aware ness. What makes this achieve ment som...

during the 3 years before ECT were impaired, but memories acquired before that time were not affected. The results therefore appear to confirm the hypothesis, originally formulatedby Ribot (12), that the susceptibility of a memory to disruption is inversely proportional to its age. The validity of this conclusion depends, of course, on how well the remote memory test satisfies the requirements ...

ANNE HARRINGTON, Medicine, mind and the double brain, Princeton University Press, 1987, 8vo, pp. xiii, 322, £24.70. This is a remarkable book, and one that will doubtless become indispensable to students of the history of the neurosciences. It offers a comprehensive account of the growth of ideas within neurology and psychology concerning asymmetries of function between the two hemispheres of t...

The recognition of whether someone, something or somewhere has been experienced before rests on a decisionmaking process. In humanmemory, information is not reproduced as it would be in a computer, but is a reflective, conscious process. This is more so the case when encountering the same scene, environment or idea for a second time. When we recognize something as having been encountered before...

As envisaged by Paillard (1959), alerting manoeuvres, such as the Jendrassik manoeuvre, potentiate tendon jerks in remote non-contracting muscles due to widespread activation of dynamic ? motoneurons. Paillard's research was ground-breaking, but there are reservations with this hypothesis (Pierrot-Deseilligny & Burke, 2012). It based on evidence that H reflex not potentiated manoeuvre. However ...

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (S.) serovar Derby is one of the most prevalent serovars in pigs. The aim of this study was the investigation of S. Derby isolates for the presence of antimicrobial resistance and class 1 integrons and their gene cassettes. Forty-nine S. Derby isolates, obtained from different sources at four pig abattoirs (A-D) in Southern Brazil were analysed. Five isolates...
