Dengue, Aedes Aegypti, And Hurricane Reconstruction In The Caribbean And Central America: Prevention And Control Following A Natural Disaster, Frank Cortez Flores

Accordingly, the main purpose of this study was to identify and address the dominating factors influencing the resurgence of dengue fever following a natural disaster such as a hurricane.

This study also depicted an arguable approach to dengue surveillance as well as described existing efforts to prevent, …

Dependent Convergence: The Importation Of Technological Hazards By Semiperipheral Countries, Carlos Eduardo Siqueira Jan 2000

Dependent Convergence: The Importation Of Technological Hazards By Semiperipheral Countries, Carlos Eduardo Siqueira

C. Eduardo Siqueira

After reviewing the central arguments proposed by this literature, the authors add to the debate by focusing on the role of national actors in the importation of these hazards, based on the experience of late 1970s’ developments in the petrochemical industry in Brazil. The Brazilian case indicates that social struggles and/or interactions among actors in devel- oping and developed nations determine to what extent hazardous technol- ogies are imported without environmental controls and to what …
