The results of this empirical analysis of normalized seasonal and interannual rainfall anomalies in Brazil for the period from 1968 to 1985 show an inverse relationship between Northern and Southern Brazil. The facts suggest that other factors such as SST in the Atlantic Ocean and polar outbreaks from Antarctica also influenced the rainfall patterns in Brazil

Results of this empirical analysis of normalized anomalies for an 18 year period from 1968 to 1985 show the inverse relationship in rainfall between Northern and Southern Brazil in most months of the year, best observed in the wet season from December to May

This book focuses on both Marshall and the Marshallian tradition, revisiting the 1920s and 1930s debates on business size, external economies, coordination and management costs including contributions from Roger Backhouse and Richard Arena. 

This book€focuses on both Marshall and the Marshallian tradition, revisiting the 1920s and 1930s debates on business size, external economies, coordination and management costs€including contributions€from Roger€Backhouse and Richard Arena.

This unique and original work contends that, despite the differences between Marshallian and Schumpeterian thinking, they both present formidable challenges to a broad type of social science beyond economics, particularly under the influence of the German historical school. In a departure from the received view on the nature of the works of Marshall and Schumpeter, the contributors explore their themes in terms of an evolutionary vision and method of evolution; social science and evolution; conceptions of evolution; and evolution and capitalism

The performance of household chores by children in Japanese residential care institutions has been widely accepted as a practice that fosters children's independence and self-sufficiency. However, children coming from neglectful or dysfunctional families often require sensitive, individualized care, which they did not receive from their family of origin. While a shift away from large-scale institutions has begun, with smaller units or group homes now accounting for 40% of all care institutions, it is not clear that family-like, individualized care has been achieved in these smaller group homes. This study involved 61 participants aged 10 to 15 years and their care workers from six residential care institutions in the greater Tokyo area. It explored what aspects of care quality were related to the presence of certain characteristics of traditional management-oriented care: fixed rules for household chores and lack of choice in daily living. Care workers were asked whether children washed their own dishes, did their own laundry, chose their own clothes when shopping, and had mandatory events to attend in the residential care institutions. Care quality was assessed using the Early Adolescent HOME (Home Observation for Measurement of Environment) developed for Japanese residential care institutions (EA-HOME-JP). The findings suggest that care workers should re-examine their intentions in setting and applying household chore rules while exploring which aspects of child care, including regulatory activities and modeling, should be emphasized in order to actualize family-like and individualized care in institutions.
