Abstract This article introduces the first translation of the text “Ñandutí: Crossroads of Two Worlds” by Josefina Plá, pioneer of Paraguayan art and literature. The text offers an overview of this figure's life and politics, in the context of the development of Paraguayan modernism in the 1950s and in the early years of General Alfredo Stroessner's military dictatorship (1954–1989). Particularly, I address her involvement in the First Week of Paraguayan Modern Art as co-founder of the Arte Nuevo group and the close relationship with peers like Olga Blinder and Livio Abramo. Plá's historical study of Ñandutí - lace is typically made by Guaranì women and emblematic of Paraguayan craft - bear particular relevance to the ambitions of Paraguayan modernists. Ñandutí has contested origins between the European and the Indigenous – identities that Paraguayan modernists sought to remap.

Abstract:
Monumental art is a special sphere of plastic art, a fusion of architecture and sculpture, which is closely related to the ideological guidelines of the era. In the second half of the 20th century. monumental art began to be expressed not only in individual sculptural and painting works, but also embodied in ensembles bearing the corresponding ideological qualities. Acting in synthesis with sculpture, architectural ensembles reflected the ideological content of the era and became an example of visual fixation in the public space of the key elements of the ideology of the ruling regime. One of the striking examples in the Ibero-American space was the Valley of the Fallen (el Valle de los Caídos) in Spain. One of the creators of this project was the Spanish sculptor Juan de Avalos, whose name became a kind of bridge connecting the monumental sculptural traditions of Spain and Latin American countries. When the Paraguayan dictator A. Stroessner visited the Valley of the Fallen, the complex impressed him greatly by the synchronization of the Spanish and Paraguayan ideological narratives. The result was an invitation from J. de Avalos to participate in the creation of the Victorious Peace Monument (A la Paz Victoriosa) in Paraguay. Turning to the sculptor’s work and the fate of his projects, one can see semantic parallels in the monumental sculpture of the authoritarian periods in Spain and Paraguay, as well as the metamorphoses occurring both with the works of J. de Avalos themselves and with the attitude towards them. The transformation of his Paraguayan sculptural group by Carlos Colombino created a new meaning in the Square of the Missing, and the monument itself, instead of the triumph and glory of the leader, paradoxically acquired a new decolonial meaning - the memory of the Indian peoples. In Spain, in debates about memory, the state of conflict becomes more important than memory itself, which cannot but cause concern for the future of the legacy of J. de Avalos in his homeland.

Abstract:
Implementation science has been developed to help understand why evidence-based practices are not adopted as rapidly as they might. We describe here the process a rehabilitation center in Paraguay is undergoing to transform itself into a state-of-the-art early intervention program. We describe the organization and its contextual strengths and barriers, the model it chose to implement, and the implementation procedures it has attempted. The implications for model fidelity are highlighted, as this organization needed to make adaptations to the model as designed, to fit the particular context of its mission and the Paraguayan culture. Features of the Routines-Based Model are described.***Rumo à implementação de um modelo de intervenção precoce por uma Organização Paraguaia***A ciência da implementação foi desenvolvida para ajudar a entender as razões que levam a que as práticas baseadas na evidência não sejam adotadas pelos profissionais tão rapidamente quanto deveriam ser. Descrevemos aqui o processo de transformação que um centro de reabilitação no Paraguai está a passar se tornar num programa de intervenção precoce de última geração. Descrevemos a sua organização, os seus pontos fortes e as barreiras contextuais, o modelo que escolheu implementar e os procedimentos de implementação que utilizou. As implicações para a fidelidade do modelo são destacadas, pois a organização necessitava fazer adaptações ao modelo conforme previsto, para se ajustar ao contexto específico da sua missão e da cultura paraguaia. São descritas as características do modelo baseado nas rotinas.Palavras-chave: Ciência da implementação, centrado na família, baseada nasrotinas, funcional.

Abstract:
El artículo presenta los hallazgos de una investigación hecha sobre el proceso de la génesis del campo artístico paraguayo y el fenómeno de grupos de vanguardia antagónicos, entre los años 50 y 60’s. Se utilizó el sistema teórico de Pierre Bourdieu, cuya puesta a prueba dejó ver que sus conceptos definen, simultáneamente, una interpretación conceptual específica y unas funciones metodológicas precisas en la reconstrucción de casos particulares: por ejemplo, mantener una perspectiva relacional, ejercer la ruptura con las prenociones y los datos preconstruidos, como también estabilizar un modelo analógico para la comparación entre casos ya establecidos. Esto significa que, si bien se estudiaron las propiedades singulares del caso, el objetivo radicó en inscribirlo en una serie de casos históricos semejantes mediante el razonamiento por analogía. El artículo presenta tres dimensiones estrictamente interrelacionadas: a) dimensión epistemológica; b) dimensión histórica; y c) una dimensión de análisis. Las proposiciones teóricas hacen inteligible que las tomas de posición de los grupos Arte Nuevo y Los Novísimos constituyeron unas específicas articulaciones entre la ética, la estética y la política en el arte paraguayo. This paper shows the research finding of the Paraguayan artistic field genesis process and the phenomenon of the avant-garde antagonistic groups around the 1950s and 1960s. Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical system was utilized for the purpose of construction and reconstruction: the deployment of concepts in this case showed that they define a specific conceptual interpretation and very precise methodological steps simultaneously. This means that, even if the singular properties of the case have been studied, the main aim resided in inscribing it in a series of similar historical cases through the reasoning by analogy. Furthermore, the logic of the investigation was composed of historical analysis, epistemological vigilance, and socio-analysis for the sake of reaching the rigorousness that characterizes sociology. The paper is structured by three interrelated dimensions: and epistemological dimension; a historical dimension; and a dimension of the analysis.Naturally, the Paraguayan artistic field has displayed singular properties like a particular case. But the heuristical power of Bourdieu’s theoretical propositions has allowed inscribing the Paraguayan case in the model of symbolic revolutions and in the specific struggle which revolved around the proper definition of art that was carried out by avant-garde groups. At the same time, the political context was a fundamental element: as Stroessner’s power was increasing (with the support of international cooperation like Brazil or the United States contributions), local artists, writers, and intellectuals were defining the structure and the autonomy of the cultural production field. Primarily, the importance of the actions of the group called Arte Nuevo was fundamental in the relative rupture with postulates of academic art; but later, Los Novísimos’ irruption played as a trigger of ethic and aesthetic investments that modified the field structure as it was emerging. Results show, on the one hand, the interrelations between ethics, aesthetic and political issues in the Paraguayan artistic field during the historical period studied and, on the other hand, the theoretical force of Bourdieu’s concepts. Finally, the approach applies a dispositionalist theory to study the process of symbolic production.

Abstract:
The ant communities of the Paraná River drainage in South America have spawned several major invasive species and a number of cosmopolitan tramp species, including the fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren and the Argentine ant Linepithema humile (Mayr). Paraguay sits at the center of the Paraná drainage but hosts one of the most poorly-documented ant faunas in the Neotropics, imposing a taxonomic impediment to ant studies in the region. In order to establish a baseline of knowledge about Paraguay’s myrmecofauna, I surveyed nineteen entomological collections and the published literature for records of Paraguayan ants. The resulting catalogue lists 541 ant species, 423 of which could be associated with available names. The Chao-2 estimate of species richness, calculated from the incidence of uniques and doubletons, estimates that the total ant species richness for Paraguay is 698 +/35, suggesting that the catalogue is about 80% complete and more than 100 species remain to be discovered. The Paraguayan ant fauna is characterized by many typical Neotropical elements but shows low endemism, an elevated diversity of attine ants, and only six non-native species. No new taxa are described here, but 40 taxonomic changes are introduced to clean antiquated trinomials from the fauna. The history of Paraguayan myrmecology is discussed, and a reference list is provided for species-level identifications.

Based on the case study of American artist Suzanne Lacy, with whom the authors have held several meetings of public character at the Center for Contem- porary Art Matadero of Madrid, the authors reveal the strategies that feminism has interwo- ven around public art, while at the same time looking for a redefinition of the main pillars that support the current art world: the author, the work and its dissemination, and the final value of the piece. The article concludes with case studies of cyberfeminist artist Shu Lea Cheang, the Paraguayan born artist Faith Wilding and Toxic Lesbian collective Madrid. t Autoretrato. Fotografía análoga.

Abstract:
Despite Paraguay being one of the largest net exporters of electricity in the world (for decades and the main electricity exporter in South America accounting for 85% of all exports), it is the second poorest nation in South America after Bolivia. It is the half owner of the 14,000MW Itaipu hydro electric complex. Paraguay gets a small fraction of the market price for the exported electricity to Brazil. The Brazilians viewpoint is that the spirit of the treaty is to recover the investment cost and not the commercial price. Hence, there is widespread discontent among the Paraguayans. One Paraguayan minister has commented that it is a real politik of an ant staring at an elephant.Likewise, in Yacyretá, a 3,100MW hydroelectric plant constructed in association with Argentina, Paraguay is not getting a good return. Construction work was stopped for several years by Argentina due to various reasons. Further, planning and feasibility studies were not done in sufficient detail. It is claimed that environmental and ecological considerations were not undertaken in its planning.Paraguay has not sufficiently benefited from the two huge bi-national hydro power projects. Experience of Paraguay may be good lessons for small but hydropower rich countries such as Nepal. Nepalese Officials dreaming to earn several tens of billions Rupees as export revenue from the half the electricity to be owned by Nepal from the proposed Pancheshwar Dam (6,480MW) need to remember the case of Paraguay.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hn.v9i0.7062 Hydro Nepal Vol.9 July 2011 7-11

Abstract:
Paz Encina became a public figure in Paraguay after her first film, Hamaca Paraguaya (Paraguayan Hammock, 2006), won major awards and put Paraguayan cinema back on the international map for the first time in decades. In 2012, she was invited to “do something” visual with the Archivos del Terror (Archives of Terror) to mark the twentieth anniversary of the discovery of the heinous archives. Encina is not the only artist to make use of the Archives of Terror. Argentine Carlos Trilnick's Proyecto Archivos del Terror: Apuntes sobre el Plan Cóndor (Archives of Terror Project: Notes on the Condor Plan, 2013) also utilizes them. Natalia Brizuela posits that Paz Encina's use of the archival material from the Archives of Terror is different than Trilnick's. Her pieces demarcate specific spaces and insist on location, in contrast to Trilnick's work that is made to be packed up and reset in any space. Second, Encina's installations insist on disjointed forms of reenactment to establish a tension between embodiment of the spectator and disembodiment of the tortured bodies. She has since made three works that utilize the Archives of Terror. Her interest in the archival material never sought to generate a new archive but rather to engineer the spectatorial conditions for a site-specific experience. The fully embodied subject that emerged through the sound recordings became the motor for the work Encina produced on and around the Archives of Terror and the lengthy state-of-exception government that structured her country's life in the longest dictatorship to date in Latin America.

Nous avons organisé les données crées par ces diverses types de sources dans un système information spatial. Dans ce système, chaque couverture thématique forme une unité. En les reliant, il est possible d'obtenir des informations tant diachroniques que synchroniques

Abstract:
AbstractAround 1800, merchants, scientists and adventurers travelled to Latin America with different purposes. Their multifaceted interests in a world region, experiencing a threshold of independence from Spanish colonial rule, inspired new historical and political works about the continent’s recent past. The Enlightenment provided not only the philosophical armamentarium against corruption, but it also paved the way to a new expression of sentiments and to the loss of fear when addressing injustice. Some examples of these are Hipólito Villaroel’s list of grievances and Humboldt’s Political essay. These two authors provide some thoughts on the political landscape of New Spain (now Mexico), while the two Swiss physicians Rengger and Longchamp describe the ruthless and odd dictator Francia of independent Paraguay as a champion of anti-corruption. Finally, Argentine dictator Rosas—and his robberies as described by Rivera Indarte, Sarmiento and other anonymous authors—represent the embodiment of corruption through pure larceny, for whose crimes the Spanish colonial past apparently no longer served as a comparison.

Abstract:
AbstractThe chapter studies differences and similarities in social protection institutions across countries in the region with the aim of identifying country groupings or clusters. The methodological approach implemented was borrowed from the literature in social policy regimes. The grouping of countries is based on the causal outcomes of social protection institutions—employment, protection, and incorporation—and repeated for the periods associated with institutional development. The results largely confirm the findings in the social policy regime literature. There are three main clusters of countries: Southern cone countries plus Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama; Andean countries including Paraguay; and Central American countries. Repeating the cluster analysis for different periods characterised by social protection reforms provides additional insights. The temporal analysis suggests a measure of continuity in the country groupings over time, but it also shows disruption in the membership of the clusters during the neoliberal period. Cluster memberships loosen up during this period, especially for countries like Chile and Mexico. Paying attention to measures of the distribution of transfers introduces fluidity in the membership sets of Andean and Central American countries.

Abstract:
AbstractFree zones are defined as: “a field where the goods are not subject to the usual control from the customs service and its introduction and extraction are just only taxed with service tax which can be created and there is no economic prohibition on it”.In Argentina, Law N° 24.331 says that the free zones can be of storage, commercial, services or industrial. The tax benefits that this legal regime provides are that the goods in this area are not subject to export or import taxes, created or to be created. Despite the fact that the free zones are a key tool in developing economically deprived areas in a country or a region, those can not do it by themselves. Free zones must be integrated to the logistic and industrial system of the region, making, in this way, the necessary synergy in order to succeed.Port of Barranqueras which is located on the right bank of the Paraguay - Paraná Waterway in the province of Chaco, Argentina, at around 1,000 km North of Buenos Aires city. Historically, this is a marginal area of Argentina in terms of investment and development, with large infrastructure deficiencies. However, the Port of Barranqueras has unique advantages like its location on the geographic center of MERCOSUR with good road (RN11 & RN14) and railway (Belgrano Cargas) connections; unique possibilities for sustainable growth as it is not constrained by large urban areas and for being a multimodal port with facilities for container and general cargo handling as well as grain storage. Those characteristics make it ideal to set up a free zone.The objective of this paper is to analyze how a free zone integrated to the Port of Barranqueras will enhance it until converting it into an industrial and logistic center, making more competitive all the export industries in the zone. This analysis includes a map that will help others in similar conditions.

Abstract:
This chapter talks about future possibilities relating to the Itaipú Binational Dam. In 2023, important parts of the binational treaty must be renegotiated, and the financial arrangements are once again up for grabs. That year, unless an additional US$4 billion in debt is discovered, the massive construction debt will be paid off. But it is unclear how this will affect the tariff. If the present tariff formula holds and energy production costs are the limits for the energy price, the tariff will plummet by more than 60 percent. Energy experts are concerned that this will lead to haphazard energy waste by the largest consumers, rather than a strategic industrialization plan. On the other hand, politicians in the Paraguayan executive and legislative have begun discussions on what to do with US$1 billion more in royalties. But the hydrostate history of Itaipú illustrates the weaknesses in either transferring more energy rent to the Paraguayan government without enforceable development investment plans or of effectively subsidizing Paraguay's current electricity users, who are disproportionately wealthy, without implementing a strategy to increase energy access to the vast majority of Paraguay.

Abstract The hookah, a type of water pipe, of Arabic origin and traditionally used in India and other countries in the region, has become extremely popular in recent years. With the popularization of its use and the increase in its commercialization, its diffusion has become quite current, and studies that address epidemiology, risk factors, and medium and long-term harm of this habit, are still scarce both in Paraguay and in other countries. Thus, this study is of great relevance to identify the incidence of its use among young people, in this case, medical students, in addition to immediate side effects, as well as establish strategic activities to prevent the initiation of smoking, its interruption of use as well as damage mitigation

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the recent transformations experienced by the city of Encarnación (Paraguay), as a result of its new urban development, influenced by the effects of the additional work done on the Yacyreta hydroelectric dam, built by Argentina and Paraguay on the Parana River. Based on an exploratory and descriptive research approach, I argue that there has been a change in the patterns of urban land occupation, not only because of the growth of the reservoir located in the Parana River (new waterfront) and the consequent relocation of the population affected, but also due to the emergence of urban renewal processes, regeneration, and high-quality public works. All these changes have resulted in a new urban configuration of the city and an architectural modernism that is generating new public spaces, sanitation, infrastructure, and new opportunity structures for urban life. Among them are the creation of extensive beaches on the riverfront and new business areas. However, on the other hand, the massive displacement of poor people toward other urban or peripheral areas has rapidly enabled a new fragmentation of the city. Among other conclusions, we will argue that, despite having highlighted the benefits of the urban transformation that the city is undergoing, Encarnación is experiencing a differential change of its urban space characterized by accentuated and discontinuous interventions in different socio-spatial spheres and the creation of an increasingly more segregated city, causing a disconnect between the new, highly qualified central areas and the new urban peripheries

We are facing a national scenario of disadvantaged communities, not only in the interior of the Republic, but also in the metropolitan periphery of Greater Asunción; whose ethnocultural components, different from the social homogenization of the capital, as well as the implication of cultural factors that affect the female population, largely mark the situation of vulnerability and social risk of exclusion in the face of development opportunities in the current system. Existing social inequalities configure spaces for differentiated social development, at the same time as they feed each other, making territorial development necessary that takes into account the action of these social groups and their forms of cultural relations.

Abstract:
Abstract The COVID 19 pandemic has struck the global economy and slowed down human activity. Paraguay, a small South-American country, was not an exception. This work results from the urgent need to reopen universities, schools, and other academic institutions to resume teaching activities in light of restrictive access to online learning in Paraguay. In order to contain the spread of this virus, school activities such as course lectures were placed on hold indefinitely. Inappropriate airflow in an enclosed space is one of the main factors in the spread of this virus. When combined with personal protective equipment, proper air ventilation and air replacement can significantly reduce this airborne virus’s spread. Potential sources of contaminant accumulation are stagnant locations of air in a closed volume. It is, therefore, essential to first identify these hot spots. Utilizing computational tools, such as CFD, an airflow analysis can be conducted to see any potential stagnant point. In the case of a classroom, it will then allow proper airflow by avoiding stagnant points by moving furniture, equipment, and chairs in combination to adding walls and opening windows and doors. This type of CFD study will set the benchmark for future classroom layout standards in this pandemic background. The work discussed here is a case study on a 300 student classroom at the Faculty of Engineering at the National University of Asuncion. The CFD results showed detailed information on flow patterns and velocity profiles in the analyzed classroom environment and air cycle and exhaust results. The six air conditioning systems blowing 300 CFM each, combined with eight fans installed at the ceiling, forced air to recirculate and helped to remove old air to the windows and suction some new air from doors. This helped university administrators to reopen some class areas and keep their faculties and students safe for lectures. It is important to remark here that air reposition could be measured, showing 200 CFM air removal in this first simulation run. Further analysis with a different internal layout will be needed to see if any improvements can be made. It is expected to have a much better air removal by adding a localized exhaust fan. This work suggests the location of each location’s outlet points and flows capacity to ensure proper ventilation is achieved in this particular case study. Other academic institutions are showing interest in implementing this computational tool to design classroom layout as well as ventilation schemes.

This research will present the bioceanic link project between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which is being conducted by Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay. It is a project of great importance for South American geopolitics, since it will allow for better integration of the region, especially for these four countries that are conducting the project. This study will initially discuss the consequent impact on Brazil that the dependence on the use of Atlantic ports brings and the prospects of the project for the country. Then, the bioceanic corridor project will be presented, its current status with regard to its implementation, and the importance that the project will bring to the regional economy will be emphasized, and more specifically, the benefits that it will bring to Brazil. The shortening of the distances of the maritime routes between the country and the Asian markets, the main destinations for Brazilian products, will result in reductions in the logistics costs of transportation and, as a result, national products will be able to have greater competitive advantages over international competitors.

Abstract:
Abstract Toxic gasses generated as a result of landfill fire are a big concern to human health, especially in heavily populated urban areas. Such a situation occurred on September 25, 2020, at the country’s main landfill situated in Asuncion city, the most populated urban area in Paraguay. This is a recurrent situation, two days later; another fire started at the same landfill. It took 12 hours to control the fire. This event generated a plume of toxic smoke that spread through the urban area. This caused severe respiratory problems to the citizens living in the surrounding buildings. This work is a case study on the analysis of the smoke plume spreading from this landfill in an eventual fire in different wind directions. The main goal was to conduct computational fluid dynamics CFD simulation to be able to map the risk zone on this surrounding urban area. In order to validate this simulation, it was important to replicate this toxic cloud flow by conducting a computational fluid dynamics CFD simulation and comparing this result with actual data. For this purpose, a satellite image taken on the September 25 of the year 2020 fire event was utilized. A good agreement was observed in this comparison. This validated the boundary conditions of this computational tool. A mesh sensitivity analysis was also carried out to ensure a reliable result was obtained. The city hall as well as the fire departments from the city of Asuncion are now using this map as a guide to better prepare to deal with this toxic smoke by quickly evacuating or notifying residents in the risk zones. The national secretary of emergency is also provided with this map. Future work includes the analysis of not only other landfills but also warehouse or electric power substations where toxic fuel, such as askarel is present in a latent mode. A recent fire at community markets is also on the list of the potential smoke sources to be analyzed. This undergraduate student research paper is a work in progress. More data is being analyzed. The usefulness and practical use of this kind of computational tool are getting the interest of local authorities. This work helps to promote students’ motivation in the field of fluid dynamics. The impact on STEM education was noted in this case study. It is planned to compare other software and schemes to better understand computational tools. Finally, a result comparison between cases is expected to be presented.

Abstract:
Over the last decade, every Paraguayan administration has faced greater political challenges and financial pressures than its predecessor. The result has been a chronic fiscal deficit since 1995. This study disentangles the budget-making process in Paraguay by studying the key players influencing the budget cycle (preparation, approval, execution, and control), their powers, and their incentives. The document discusses how the incentives for cooperation affect the conditions for the sustainability of public expenditures, the efficient allocation of resources, and the representative quality of the spending. First the general theoretical framework based on both a transaction cost theory of the policymaking process and the public expenditure management literature is introduced. The authors emphasize the interactions between historical legacies, the overall institutional design, and budgetary procedures as factors that shape politicians' incentives to display cooperative behavior in the elaboration of the budget. Then, Paraguay's historical background, its current institutional framework, and the emerging features of the policymaking process are described. The formal and informal rules that guide the budget policy-making process are also addressed. The analysis is based on the formal instruments (the constitution and related laws) and on in-depth interviews with several policymakers in the executive branch and in Congress. Finally, it is discussed how the generally low incentives for cooperation have created negative conditions for the sustainability of public expenditures, the efficient allocation of resources, and the representative quality ofthe spending.

Abstract:
This document is the evaluation of the IDB's Country Program with Paraguay for the 2009-2013 period. The period evaluated here (hereinafter, the 'review period') was characterized by a political crisis and the intensification of the agricultural export model. This evaluation has been conducted in accordance with OVE's mandate (RE-238 corr.) and the Protocol for Country Program Evaluation (RE-348-2). Its main purposes are to facilitate accountability and identify lessons learned that may help improve the Bank's future program. The evaluation took into account the new country strategy document formats (CSD, GN-2468-6) developed by Management. The most significant practical effects of the new CSD formats were: (i) the de facto separation between the preparation of the CSD and country programming; (ii) the new emphasis on sector notes; and (iii) the update of the strategy's results matrix and the programming documents. To achieve the dual purpose of accountability and learning, the team has put together a portfolio that includes all the operations approved in the period (2009-2013) together with those approved previously, but executed during this period. The specific details of the portfolio and the main sectors are included in the annexes to this document (Portfolio, Energy, Water and Sanitation, Roads, Social Sector, and Agriculture). During the preparation of this document some 150 people were interviewed, including the Bank's main counterparts (the Minister of Finance and his two predecessors), executing units, members of civil society, scholars, representatives of multilateral and bilateral agencies with a presence in Paraguay, the Bank's Representative (ad interim), and two former Representatives of the Bank in Paraguay, IDB staff at the Bank's Country Office and at Headquarters. The mission also visited eight projects to observe the outcomes and challenges of the Bank's program in situ.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper characterizes the evolution of Paraguay's policymaking process (PMP) between 1954 and 2003. The authors present an overview of the PMP under the rule of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-89) and explore the institutional setting emerging after 1989. In addition, they discuss how the Colorado Party progressively broke up into several factions and characterize the distinctive patterns of policymaking that emerged after the adoption of the 1992 Constitution. The authors hypothesize that the presence of a large number of veto players has made policy change more difficult and that legislators are inclined to pursue particularistic policies. In order to test those hypotheses, they rely on a database containing virtually every bill introduced in Congress since April 1992. The conclusions suggest that the current Paraguayan PMP may be flexible for the provision of particularistic benefits but is rigid for the approval of broad regulatory or redistributive policies.

Abstract:
That four- and five-year-olds can do algebra, arithmetic, and geometry may be hard to believe. But if you visit a preschool classroom in the Cordillera region of Paraguay, you will see children who learn factoring by organizing balls and sticks into groups, and who work together to form pentagons and hexagons with their bodies. These children are participating in a project called "Tikichuela, Mathematics in My School", the result of a partnership between the Japanese and Paraguayan governments, the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The idea behind the curriculum is that preschool children need to learn premath skills to build a foundation for primary- and secondary-level mathematics. Assessed after five months, the math skills of children in the program had increased significantly compared with those of a group of children not in the program. This brief describes the implementation of the pilot program and its qualitative and quantitative findings.

Full text
Abstract:
The value of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) exports from Paraguay has recently increased dramatically. Much of this growth is due to positioning of the good within the universe of products where consumption growth is driven by perceptions of sustainable production and health benefits to consumers--that is, credence attributes creating a new dimension of demand. Credence claims for yerba mate's benefits to indigenous producing communities, environmental sustainability under certain production processes, healthful alternatives to energy drinks, are now widely known, but the growth of this awareness came via a new entrepreneurial strategy of a single firm. This case study explores the determinants of growth of credence-based exports of yerba mate from Paraguay, potential for increased growth, and the fragility of the credence-based model.

Full text
Abstract:
This study analyzes the international financial flows of Latin America in order to verify existence and direction of the Stigma Effect. Is the AML/CFT financial regulation that addresses the money laundering and terrorism finance phenomena relevant in shaping the pattern of international banking movements? We test if the FAFT listing-delisting events are effective sticks and carrots for the targeted countries in influencing cross-border banking flows. The tests are based on a theoretical framework, where the stigma effect holds if doing business with a listed country produces nonlinear monetary and/or reputational costs. We focus on the 34 Latin American countries in the period 1996-2007 using annual panel data. We find evidence that the list in-list out mechanism can influence the banking inflows, provided that some conditions hold. The relevance of the stigma effect seems to depend on the one side on the efficiency of the international capital markets and on the other side on specific features of the listed/delisted country: regulatory lightness, banking profitability, growth per capita. The empirical specification is applied in evaluating the case of Paraguay using a time series analysis with quarterly data. The study finds that the Paraguayan listing episode was likely to produce perceptible effects on both capital inflows and outflows.
