William Easterly marshals yet another brilliant critique of established development policies, with a focus on the experts' excessive focus on state-led policies and goals (à la Myrdal) and ignorance of bottom-up solutions, including technology and individual rights (à la Hayek). It suggests a world where success occurs in spite of nation-states. Yet not all bottom-up leads to success, and the worst disasters, as in civil violence, occur where states fail. Easterly highlights the important links between success and individual freedom and opportunity. He fails to note that myriad impoverished individuals cannot exercise these freedoms due to low expectations or compromised rights. (JEL A11, D82, E61, I23, O10, O40)

Este texto descreve o despertar progressivo da Igreja no Brasil, sobretudo a Católica, em favor da ampliação ou expansão do conceito e das práticas inerentes aos Direitos Humanos. Da afirmação dos direitos individuais, ela passa progressivamente para a defesa dos direitos dos empobrecidos até concentrar-se em torno da noção de “construção da cidadania”. Hoje, acrescenta-se a necessidade de uma “perspectiva de gênero". Uma “nova evangelização" incorpora os Direitos Humanos como parte integrante ou mesmo exigência da missão evangelizadora da Igreja. Isto nos leva hoje a questionar a atual arquitetura da desigualdade reinante. Rumo ao novo milênio, o tema dos Direitos Humanos ressurge, sendo desdobrado em ‘direitos civis', ‘direitos sociais’ e ‘direitos econômicos'. Abstract: This text describes the Progressive awakening of the Church in Brazil, chiefly Catholic, in favor of amplifying or expanding concept and practices inherent in Human Rights. From the affirmation of individual rights, it progressively goes to the defense of the rights of the poor up to concentrationaround the notion ofthe “construction of citizenship". Today, one adds the necessity of a “gender perspective”. A “new evangelization" incorporates Human Rights as an integral part or even exigency of the evangelizing mission of the Church. Today this leads us to the questioning of the present structure of prevailing inequality. Corning up to the new millennium, the theme of Human Rights ressurges, giving out into ‘civil rights', 'social rights', and ‘economic rights’.

Even though many early workers had suggested the use of lower voltages to increase topographic contrast and to reduce specimen charging and beam damage, we did not usually operate in the conventional scanning electron microscope at low voltage because of the poor resolution, especially of bioligical specimens. However, the development of the “in-lens” field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) has led to marked inprovement in resolution, especially in the range of 1-5 kV, within the past year. The probe size has been cumulated to be 0.7nm in diameter at 30kV and about 3nm at 1kV. We have been trying to develop techniques to use this in-lens FESEM at low voltage (LVSEM) for direct observation of totally uncoated biological specimens and have developed the LVSEM method for the biological field.

A number of papers have appeared recently which purport to have carried out x-ray microanalysis on fully frozen hydrated samples. It is important to establish reliable criteria to be certain that a sample is in a fully hydrated state. The morphological appearance of the sample is an obvious parameter because fully hydrated samples lack the detailed structure seen in their freeze dried counterparts. The electron scattering by ice within a frozen-hydrated section and from the surface of a frozen-hydrated fracture face obscures cellular detail. (Fig. 1G and 1H.) However, the morphological appearance alone can be quite deceptive for as Figures 1E and 1F show, parts of frozen-dried samples may also have the poor morphology normally associated with fully hydrated samples. It is only when one examines the x-ray spectra that an assurance can be given that the sample is fully hydrated.

Computer synthesized vowels of 50- and 300-ms duration were presented to normal-hearing listeners at a moderate and high sound pressure level (SPL). Presentation at the high SPL resulted in poor recognition accuracy for vowels of a duration (50 ms) shorter than the latency of the acoustic stapedial reflex. Presentation level had no effect on recognition accuracy for vowels of sufficient duration (300 ms) to elicit the reflex. The poor recognition accuracy for the brief, high intensity vowels was significantly improved when the reflex was preactivated. These results demonstrate the importance of the acoustic reflex in extending the dynamic range of the auditory system for speech recognition.
