Market Reaction to the Issuance of Capital Instruments by Brazilian Banks by André Ricardo Moncaio Zanon, José Alves Dantas

“…The article is, to a large extent, based on the research findings of Ammann et al (2017). The results of the empirical tests - which were conducted by means of event studies that involved issuing 30 instruments during the period 12/2008 - 09/2017 - suggest that the issuances or announcements of these instruments had an adverse effect on the stock market value of the issuing banks. …”

A Psyllid, Boreioglycaspis melaleucae Moore (Insecta: Hemiptera: Psyllidae) by Susan A. Wineriter, Susan E. Halbert, James P. Cuda

“…Melaleuca is considered a pest because it displaces native vegetation and degrades wildlife habitat; it also creates fire hazards and can cause human health problems (Rayamajhi et al. 2002). The USDA/ARS, with federal and state permission, introduced the psyllid Boreioglycaspis melaleucae into Broward County, Florida, in February 2002 as a potential biocontrol agent of melaleuca. …”

Non-Conditioned, Unconscious Intra-Individual Variation by Gotzon Aurrekoetxea

“…This intra-individual variation has been understood mostly as stylistic variation (Hernández-Campoy & Cutillas-Espinosa, 2012) and is becoming increasingly important (Werth et al., 2021) in the scholarly literature. Admitting that stylistic variation exists, I argue that not all intra-individual variation is conditioned and conscious, according to my data. …”
