ADAPTIVE RESPONSE OF RICE MARKETS TO CLIMATE IMPACTS IN INDONESIA

Van der Eng (2009) assessed how rice markets responded to variations in rainfall during 1935-40 in Java, Indonesia. The study finds that, while the unusually low rainfalls in El Nino years caused deficiencies in paddy production in some locations, they did not have a negative effect on variations in rice prices across Java. The finding indicates that, if well integrated, the market is able to adapt to climate stress by providing incentives that direct flows of rice from surplus to deficit areas. Building upon the above finding, the present study is aimed at analyzing the climate impacts and adaptive response of rice distribution between Surabaya and Kupang, the provincial capitals of East Java and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) in Indonesia respectively. To this end, the monthly inflation rates of food over the last ten years are compared in these two areas. As NTT has a chronic deficit of rice and is substantially dependent on East Java for its supply, there is a correlation of inflation rates between the two provincial capitals. This study finds, however, that a seasonal variation exists. The inflation rates are consistently higher in Kupang than Surabaya in January, the lean season in NTT. The above findings suggest that, when and where seasonal factors are strong, a government intervention for rice price stabilization, if it is centrally operated, is less effective. Instead, a more seasonally and geographically targeted intervention becomes necessary to mitigate the climate impacts on rice distribution.conference pape

Pathology and Therapy in Naturally Eimeria stiedae-Infected Rabbits

application/pdfClinical hepatic coccidiosis in New Zealand white rabbits (n=24) of either sex (aged 1-2 month) with clinical signs, pathology an therapy is presented. The infected rabbits showed anorexia, reluctance to move and death within 3-4 days. Liver showed irregular whitish nodules scattered on its surface and in deeper parenchyma. Characteristic histopathologjcal changes in liver with different developmental stages of Eimeria stiedae in the epithelial cells of bile ducts have been recorded. Treatment of infected rabbits with 2.5% oltrazuril (Baycox) at 25 ppm in water for 2 days was highly effective. The oocysts is appeared in the faeces on day 6 after treatment. No mortality was seen in treated rabbits while all the infected untreated rabbits died with in a period of 7 days.journal articl

Montale e d'Annunzio: un rapporto poco gradito (e poco frequentato) dalla critica

The article focuses on an anomalous situation of Italian criticism, concerning the relationship between the works of d’Annunzio and Montale: after the Pier Vincenzo Mengaldo’s inaugural study, dating back to 1966, utterly important but not exhaustive, only a few scholars have taken up partially the argument
