AbstractIn the nineteenth century, members of the Rio de Janeiro-based Sociedade Auxiliadora da Industria Nacional promoted the development of new agro-industrial commodities from Brazil's native forests as substitutes for expensive foreign imports. Influenced by late colonial scientists and reformers who followed the political economy of Carl Linnaeus, the society turned a Portuguese imperial project of economic revitalisation into a vision for developing the nation's post-independence economy. For society members, Brazil's 'industrial forests' were essential for economic independence and defined the new nation's place in an emerging global capitalist system.

This article focuses on the interdependence between security and human rights. The author advocates that freedom of expression and free media - two basic human rights - play increasingly important roles in fostering a meaningful debate on security issues and that they can help us to effectively address new challenges, not least in the new digital era. The article addresses major challenges within media freedom such as Internet freedom and journalists' safety and the importance these challenges play with regard to the link between security and human rights.

Much of the recent scholarship presents an optimistic view of the potential in local climate action. Here, we refine the optimism for local governments' impact with new performance data that probes local progress and capacity for climate governance. Our analysis – based on a new study measuring policy choice, implementation, and influences – reevaluates a number of assumptions undergirding this scholarship and provides direction for targeted investment and research.

" Since its launch in 2001, FEAST has defined and promoted a model for international research cooperation facilitation units that have been rolled out on a wider scale by the European Union. As FEAST has evolved it has also informed the evolution of this wider network of international research facilitation bodies. The FEAST Extension, Enhancement and Demonstration (FEED) project marked a significant new phase in this developmental process. It has made significant progress in its aims of defining and demonstrating new, more strategic and policy-related approaches to fostering international research and innovation systems." - page 2 ; Australian National University

Sumario: This publication sheds light on the magnitude of domestic work, a sector often invisible behind the doors of private households and unprotected by national legislation. The adoption of new international labour standards on domestic work (Convention No. 189 and its accompanying Recommendation No. 201) by the ILO at its 100th International Labour Conference in June 2011 represents a key milestone on the path to the realization of decent work for domestic workers. This volume presents national statistics and new global and regional estimates on the number of domestic workers

This paper is an extended summary of the tutorial given at Ada-Europe 2012. In the 2005 and 2012 revisions of the Ada standard, realtime programming has experienced a large improvement but most of the new services introduced are unknown or underused due to the lack of free software implementations. The tutorial presented an overview of these new services trying to focus on their utility for real-time systems and their typical use patterns. ; This work has been funded in part by the Spanish Government and FEDER funds under grant number TIN2011-28567-C03-02 (HI-PARTES).

This article argues that the system for intermediary liability (for mere conduits, hosts and search engines) is splitting into a number of different systems. In the case of copyright, intermediaries (particularly mere conduits) have new duties. However, regarding defamation (and to a lesser extent privacy), new schemes are reducing the liability risk of hosts—under certain circumstances. The result is that the single system of the Electronic Commerce Directive is being replaced by a mixture of EU and national legislation, revived common law doctrines and specific provisions for particular areas of law.

The 1970s witnessed the beginning of a new world order conceptualized by leading political economists as neoliberal globalization. This has been accompanied by a profound restructuring of the world's economy under the influence of large multinational corporations, the globe's most powerful governments led by the United States, and a triad of international bodies: the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Trade Organization (WTO) (Petras & Veltmeyer 2000). This new scenario has reshaped the scope and nature of contemporary human mobility. ; Producción Científica de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas UAZ
