Abstract. This study presents the first high-resolution national inventory of anthropogenic emissions for Chile (INEMA). Emissions for vehicular, industrial, energy, mining and residential sectors are estimated for the period 2015–2017 and spatially distributed onto a high-resolution grid (1 × 1 km approximately). The pollutants included are CO2, NOx, SO2, CO, VOCs, NH3, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) for all sectors. CH4 and Black Carbon are included for transport and residential sources, while Arsenic, Benzene, Mercury, Lead, Toluene, and Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and Furan (PCDD / F) are estimated for energy, mining and industrial sources. New activity data and emissions factors are compiled to estimate emissions, which are subsequently spatially distributed using census data and Chile's road network information. The estimated total annual national emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 are 191 and 173 kilotonnes (Kt) , respectively. The residential sector is responsible for over 90 % of these emissions. This sector also emits 81 % and 87 % of total CO and VOC, respectively. Additionally, the energy and industry sectors contribute significantly to NH3, SO2, CO2 emissions while the transport sector dominates NOx and CO2 emissions, and the Mining sector dominates SO2 emissions. In general, emissions of anthropogenic air pollutants and CO2 in northern Chile are dominated by mining activities as well as thermoelectric power plants while in central chile the dominant sources are transport and residential emissions. The latter also mostly dominates emissions in southern Chile which has a much colder climate. Preliminary analysis revealed the dominant role of the emission factors in the final emission uncertainty. Nevertheless, uncertainty in activity also contributes, as suggested by the difference in CO2 emissions between INEMA and EDGAR. A comparison between these two inventories also revealed considerable differences for all pollutants in terms of magnitude and sectoral contribution, especially for the residential sector. EDGAR presents larger emissions for most of the pollutants except for CH4 and PM2.5. The differences between both inventories can partly be explained by the use of different emission factors, in particular for the residential sector where emission factors incorporate information on firewood and local operation conditions. However, as mentioned above, differences in CO2 emissions between both inventories also points to biases in the quantification of the activity. This inventory (available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4784286) (Alamos et al., 2021)) will support the design of policies that seek to mitigate climate change and improve air quality by providing policy makers, stakeholders and scientists with qualified scientific spatial explicit emission information.
Verification of Near Surface Wind Patterns in Germany using Clear Air Radar Echoes
Authors: Buschow Sebastian , Friederichs Petra
Published: July 2021

Abstract. The verification of high-resolution meteorological models requires highly resolved validation data and appropriate tools of analysis. While much progress has been made in the case of precipitation, wind fields have received less attention, largely due to a lack of spatial measurements. Clear-sky radar echoes could be an unexpected part of the solution by affording us an indirect look at horizontal wind patterns: Regions of horizontal convergence attract non-meteorological scatterers such as insects; their concentration visualizes the structure of the convergence field. Using a two-dimensional wavelet transform, this study demonstrates how divergences and reflectivities can be quantitatively compared in terms of their spatial scale, (horizontal) anisotropy and direction. A long-term validation of the highly resolved regional reanalysis COSMO-REA2 against the German radar composite RADOLAN shows surprisingly close agreement. Despite theoretically predicted problems with simulations in or near the ‘grey-zone’ of turbulence, COSMO-REA2 is shown to produce a realistic diurnal cycle of the spatial scales larger than 8 km. In agreement with the literature, the orientation of the patterns in both data-sets closely follows the mean wind direction. Conversely, an analysis of the horizontal anisotropy reveals that the model has an unrealistic tendency towards highly linear, roll like patterns early in the day.
Influence of ENSO and tropical Atlantic climate variability on flood characteristics in the Amazon basin

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Flooding in the Amazon basin is frequently attributed to modes of
large-scale climate variability, but little attention is paid to how these
modes influence the timing and duration of floods despite their importance
to early warning systems and the significant impacts that these flood
characteristics can have on communities. In this study, river discharge data from the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS 2.1) and observed data at 58 gauging stations are used to examine whether positive or negative phases of several Pacific and Atlantic indices significantly alter the characteristics of river flows throughout the Amazon basin (1979–2015). Results show significant changes in both flood magnitude and duration, particularly in the north-eastern Amazon for negative El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases when the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly is positioned in the central tropical Pacific. This response is not identified for the eastern Pacific index, highlighting how the response can differ between ENSO types. Although flood magnitude and duration were found to be highly correlated, the impacts of large-scale climate variability on these characteristics are non-linear; some increases in annual flood maxima coincide with decreases in flood duration. The impact of flood timing, however, does not follow any notable pattern for all indices analysed. Finally, observed and simulated changes are found to be much more highly correlated for negative ENSO phases compared to the positive phase, meaning that GloFAS struggles to accurately simulate the differences in flood characteristics between El Niño and neutral years. These results have important implications for both the social and physical sectors working towards the improvement of early warning action systems for floods.

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Hydroclimatic extremes such as intense rainfall, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wind or storms have devastating effects each year. One of the key challenges for society is understanding how these extremes are evolving and likely to unfold beyond their historical distributions under the influence of multiple drivers such as changes in climate, land cover, and other human factors. Methods for analysing hydroclimatic extremes have advanced considerably in recent decades. Here we provide a review of the drivers, metrics, and methods for the detection, attribution, management, and projection of nonstationary hydroclimatic extremes. We discuss issues and uncertainty associated with these approaches (e.g. arising from insufficient record length, spurious nonstationarities, or incomplete representation of nonstationary sources in modelling frameworks), examine empirical and simulation-based frameworks for analysis of nonstationary extremes, and identify gaps for future research.
Multilayer modelling of waves generated by explosive submarine volcanism

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Theoretical source models of underwater explosions are often applied in studying tsunami hazards associated with submarine volcanism; however, their use in numerical codes based on the shallow water equations can neglect the significant dispersion of the generated wavefield. A non-hydrostatic multilayer method is validated against a laboratory-scale experiment of wave generation from instantaneous disturbances and at field-scale submarine explosions at Mono Lake, California, utilising the relevant theoretical models. The numerical method accurately reproduces the range of observed wave characteristics for positive disturbances and suggests a previously unreported relationship of extended initial troughs for negative disturbances at low dispersivity and high nonlinearity parameters. Satisfactory amplitudes and phase velocities within the initial wave group are found using underwater explosion models at Mono Lake. The scheme is then applied to modelling tsunamis generated by volcanic explosions at Lake Taupō, New Zealand, for a magnitude range representing ejecta volumes between 0.04–0.4 km3. Waves reach all shores within 15 minutes with maximum incident crest amplitudes around 4 m at shores near the source. This work shows that the multilayer scheme used is computationally efficient and able to capture a wide range of wave characteristics, including dispersive effects, which is necessary when investigating submarine explosions. This research therefore provides the foundation for future studies involving a rigorous probabilistic hazard assessment to quantify the risks and relative significance of this tsunami source mechanism.
Nutrient transport pathways in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary: seasonal perspectives from winter observations
Authors: Bluteau Cynthia Evelyn , Galbraith Peter S. , Bourgault Daniel , Villeneuve Vincent , Tremblay Jean-Éric
Published: July 2021

Abstract. The St. Lawrence Estuary connects the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The accepted view, based on summer conditions, is that the Estuary's surface layer receives its nutrient supply from vertical mixing processes. This mixing is caused by the estuarine circulation and tidal-upwelling at the Head of the Laurentian Channel (HLC). During winter when ice forms, historical process-based studies have been limited in scope. Winter monitoring has been typically confined to vertical profiles of salinity and temperature and near-surface water samples collected from a helicopter for nutrient analysis. In 2018, however, the Canadian Coast Guard approved a science team to sample in tandem with its icebreaking and ship escorting operations. This opportunistic sampling provided the first winter turbulence observations, which covered the largest spatial extent ever measured during any season within the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf. The nitrate enrichment from tidal mixing resulted in an upward nitrate flux of about 30 nmol m−2 s−1, comparable to summer values obtained at the same tidal phase. Further downstream, deep nutrient-rich water from the Gulf was mixed into the subsurface nutrient-poor layer at a rate more than an order of magnitude smaller than at the HLC. These fluxes were compared to the nutrient load of the upstream St. Lawrence River. Contrary to previous assumptions, fluvial nitrate inputs are the most significant source of nitrate in the Estuary. Nitrate loads from vertical mixing processes would only exceed those from fluvial sources at the end of summer when fluvial inputs reach their annual minimum.

This paper investigates the simultaneous use of in-situ hydrologic measurements in combination with two different AI methods, namely, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), for developing enhanced long-term streamflow forecasting models. To enhance the reliability of the proposed models’ outputs, a sub-basin method using the regionalization approach is proposed. Furthermore, to accelerate the training process and achieve more accurate handling of seasonal changes, a parameter representing seasonal variations is introduced. The models are applied to the mountainous Talezang basin, southwestern Iran, for which there is a 14-year series of monthly in-situ data records and snow cover area (SCA) data obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The results indicate that the use of the sub-basin approach significantly improves both AI methods’ performances. Moreover, it is deduced that the use of seasonal information and satellite data has a great impact on the model performance and accuracy. Comparing the long-term flow forecasts of both models showed that the ANFIS model is superior to the ANN.

Standard observations at 20 weather stations were compared with data of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) in the south of the Russian Far East for the period of 2009-2018. Using two statistical methods, the estimates are obtained of the radii of the circular region of the WWLLN data sample, at which the best consistency of the WWLLN data with the number of days with thunderstorms according to weather station data is observed. It is shown that these radii are in the range from 12 to 36 km for all stations, with an average value of 23 km. Daytime radii are smaller than nighttime ones, the average values for all stations are equal to 21 and 26 km, respectively. It is demonstrated that an increase/decrease in the radius of the WWLLN data sample by 1 km leads to an increase/decrease in the average annual number of days with WWLLN lightnings relative to weather reports by ~1 day.
From Richard Eden to Everything Everywhere: Discourses of travel writing from early modern editors to the contemporary travel blog
Authors: Day Matthew
Published: July 2021

Travel blogs have become an important new form of travel writing over the last decade with

some achieving more than a million page views per month, and their authors becoming topranking social influencers. The ability to load material to web pages and reach readers

directly suggests that editors are superfluous in this form of travel writing. However, as this

article shows, not only do bloggers adopt many of the roles traditionally associated with

editors, they use very similar discourses to the editors of some of the earliest collections of

travel writing. This paper explores both the continuities and differences in these discourses

showing both their indebtedness, whether conscious or not, to early editors and the ways in

which these discourses have changed in contemporary times to reflect the modern world of

travel writing.
Neither fish nor fowl: Travelling across genres and disciplines through 21st century Australian Cli-Fi
Authors: Lovell Sue , Thomas Bridget , Wickham Olga
Published: July 2021

In 2014, Juliet McKenna wrote ’The genre debate: Science fiction travels farther than literary

fiction’ (McKenna 2014). This title aligns literature and genre with travel, but she also resorts

to place-based metaphors to establish the distance between specific types of writing.

‘Speculative fiction’, she suggests, ’prompts the reader to pay so much more attention,

looking for the details that make sense of this strange world. Reading speculative fiction isn’t

arriving in Manchester. It’s finding yourself in Outer Mongolia with no help from Lonely

Planet or a rough Guide’. Cli-fi is notoriously difficult to locate generically, but thinking

about it in relation to travel may assist in understanding how it works to develop

contemporary identities. This paper therefore examines specifically Australian cli-fi,

predominantly from the 21st century and its use of concepts familiar from travel writing.

These include touristic alienation/authenticity, destination image perception as it relates to

revisit intention, and mental time travel. This enables us to highlight local Australian

literature in a global context in relation to cli-fi and travel. We argue that travel concepts as

they are engaged in non-narrative travel literature enables an engagement with cli-fi that

moves beyond debates about its generic or literary status to deeper more existentially

relevant understandings of what it means to be human in the 21st century.
‘The unacceptability of the erasures’: John Hejduk’s texts for the ‘Berlin Masque’
Authors: Sioli Angeliki
Published: July 2021

Engaging Hejduk’s compelling project, ‘Berlin Masque’ (1981), this paper looks into

writing’s power to develop unforeseen possibilities of architectural program. In his

‘Berlin Masque’ proposal, unlike his earlier ‘Masques’, Hejduk clearly prioritizes his

prose – not his small accompanying sketches – as the place where the architectural

proposition is primarily portrayed. Unpacking these texts in detail will indicate how

language represents spatial elements and allow one to imagine moments of spatial

appropriation, thus creating original architectural images of cultural significance.

Furthermore, the paper demonstrates how Hejduk’s texts and new programmatic

possibilities aspire to reconcile Berlin with the trauma of the Second World War. His

proposal intends to remind the city’s inhabitants that history is not something that is

limited to the past, but a development that involves new, everyday happenings and their

interaction with memory. Expanding on the rituals of inhabitation for each suggested

structure, as narrated in the texts, the paper outlines how the new stories proposed by

the architect acknowledge the city’s existing narratives while creating the necessary

space for new ones to appear.

The conclusion extracts the significance and uniqueness of the ‘Berlin Masque’ as an

architectural project, as well as the significance of language for Hejduk as an architect.

The Measurement of Health Care System Efficiency: Cross-country Comparison by Geographical Region*
Authors: Kim Younhee , Kang Minah
Published: July 2021

Performance of health care delivery at the cross-country level has not often been directly evaluated by given inputs and outputs. This study estimates the efficiency of the health care systems of 170 countries by extending recent research using Simar and Wilson’s bootstrap data envelopment analysis with a sensitivity test. The 170 countries are divided into four groups to compute efficiency estimators necessary to attaining a homogeneity requirement. The major finding is that most countries were inefficient to maximize the use of their inputs at the given output level. Countries in the high-income group have a relatively high average efficiency, but only 16.7% of the countries performed efficiently in the management of their health care systems. Notably, Asian countries performed more efficiently among other regions in each group. This study suggests that inefficient countries should pay attention to benchmark health care best practices within their regional peer groups.
O fundamento ético da dignidade humana: desajuste entre discurso e prática dos direitos humanos
Authors: Rasga Mariana De Freitas , Valim Morgana Paiva
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo descrever a ética deontológica de Kant, enquanto princípio que orienta a ação humana e ampara os direitos. A partir do conceito de imperativo categórico é possível determinar que uma ação é boa em si mesma, independente de servir a determinado fim. Entretanto, a questão da moralidade alcança nova abordagem através da ética discursiva em Habermas. Nessa mudança paradigmática, que propõe a passagem da razão reflexiva para a razão comunicativa, Habermas lança um novo olhar sobre a razão pura kantiana. É nesse contexto que o estudo avança através do método dedutivo e na abordagem qualitativa, de aproximação epistemológica exploratória, para concluir pela necessidade de uma reflexão crítica sobre o uso da dignidade humana na prática internacional.

O presente trabalho parte da necessidade de refletir sobre caminhos para que as lutas por justiça social não se sectarizem, mas se integrem. Essa preocupação tem sido uma constante nos estudos de Nancy Fraser, de modo que se pretende lançar mão de elementos de seu pensamento crítico e relacioná-los com as temáticas de gênero, trabalho e tecnologia, para fins de fomentar o debate a respeito do que a filósofa estadunidense nomeia “era da política de identidade”. Referidas temáticas se entrelaçam e, juntas, têm potencial para tornar mais amplo e pleno o alcance da justiça social, destacando-se o papel do feminismo neste direcionamento.
A influência do patriarcado no direito de família brasileiro: uma análise sobre os direitos da mulher
Authors: Moreles Lopes Ana Carolina
Published: July 2021

A existência de uma dominação masculina sobre a mulher é clara, mesmo atualmente. Este domínio masculino é reconhecido como patriarcado. O patriarcado passou de um âmbito majoritariamente familiar para incorporar-se à sociedade em geral, alterando-se ao longo do tempo e deixando suas marcas na atualidade. É cristalino o fato de o homem ainda ser o maior detentor de posições de poder na sociedade, e fica clara também a discriminação que a mulher sofre por conta dessa desigualdade. A desigualdade e dominação ensejam violação da igualdade e, consequentemente, de direitos humanos das mulheres. O trabalho analisa a maneira como o patriarcado influencia o Direito de Família brasileiro, demonstrando por meio de análise de dados coletados pelo IBGE e outros órgãos de pesquisa, bem como por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, que os direitos da mulher seguem não sendo aplicados em um plano concreto e material, e a ela não são disponibilizadas condições materiais necessárias para reivindicá-los.

Purpose: Sensitization to metals is a significant problem in dental, occupational exposures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of contact sensitization to selected metals during the course of study among students from dental technician school and the prevalence of co- sensitization. Material and Methods: Skin patch testing with potassium dichromate, cobalt, gold, nickel, copper, palladium, aluminium, tin and sodium tetrachloropalladate(II)hydrate was performed among 150 dental technician students (38 – 1st year of study,40 – 2nd year of study and 38 – 3rd year of study); the control group included 34 students without educational exposure to metals. Chi-square test, Fisher Exact Test and multiple binary logistic regression were used in data analysis. Results: During the educational course of dental technician students, a clear tendency of increase in the prevalence of sensitization to nickel (1st year of study - 10.5%, 3rd year of study - 36.8% cobalt (13.2% vs 39.5%) and palladium(II)chloride (10.5% vs 26.3%) was established. For the whole studied population, the prevalence of positive reactions to sodium tetrachloropalladate (II) hydrate was the highest – 30%; the highest recorded value was among the 2nd year students – 57.5%. The prevalence of sensitization to more than one metal allergen among the studied population was high (66.7%), the highest value was reported among 3rd-year dental technician students (78.9%). Conclusions: Our data indicate a high risk of contact sensitization to metals relevant for the dental technician students, which increases in the course of educational exposure for some of the metal haptens. Sodium tetrachloropalladate(II) hydrate could be outlined as a sensitizer of prominent importance, probably due to the increased sensitivity of this test salt. Additional and studies, including more respondents from the othe Colleges in Bulgaria are recommended. Adequate prevention programs and information should be provided, and the European Union regulations should be properly applied.

Published: July 2021

Salinity is the most atrocious environmental aspects restricting the productivity of agricultural crops. To fulfill global increasing demand of food, selection of salt tolerant genotypes to get production from salt affected soils is imperative. In the present experiment, ten maize genotypes were evaluated against four salinity levels (control, 40 mM, 80 mM and 120 mM NaCl) using different agronomic and physiological criteria. Significant variations were observed in all morpho-physiological and ionic attributes in all maize hybrids. Results depicts that maize hybrid 2225 exhibited salt tolerance and show higher plant biomass, chlorophyll and water contents, membrane stability along with K+/Na+ ratio. While maize hybrid 8711 had lower plant growth among all maize hybrids and considered as salt sensitive genotype. The results can be used as a selection tool for salinity tolerance in maize and provide a better source for breeders for further assessment on saline lands.

Many authors have examined the influence of loanwords in languages using statistical methods. However, English loanwords in Mongolian are rarely studied in quantitative linguistics. The results of the present study show that English loanwords in Mongolian share the universal feature of other tested languages, as their frequency distribution abides by Zipf’s Law. In addition, we define and test nine English loanword models depending on borrowing method and parts of speech, and find that the results can be described using a power function.

Published: July 2021

Penulisan ini menjelaskan tentang penentuan pasien kemoterapi dengan menggunakan metode forward chaining, serta metode OOSE sebagai tahapan tahapan apa saja yang akan dilakukan, dan pemrograman ini berbasis website. Kemoterapi merupakan cara pengobatan tumor dengan memberikan obat pembasmi sel kanker, yang diminum ataupun diinfuskan ke pembuluh darah. Obat kemoterapi akan menyebar ke seluruh jaringan tubuh, dan dapat membasmi sel-sel kanker yang sudah menyebar luas di seluruh tubuh. Ketika pasien akan di lakukan kemoterapi, pasien harus memenuhi beberapa syarat tertentu. Pengambilan keputusan layak atau tidaknya pasien untuk di kemoterapi harus melalui prosedur yang panjang dan lama. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adanya sistem yang dapat membantu dokter dalam pengambilan keputusan kemoterapi agar lebih cepat. Metode Forward Chaining memiliki konsep logika yang sama dengan dokter pada saat pengambilan keputusan penentuan pasien kemoterapi karena berbasis if-then. Untuk memperoleh kesimpulan digunakan metode forward chaining untuk menentukan pasien layak atau tidaknya untuk di kemoterapi, tanpa harus menunggu dokter untuk menentukan pasien layak atau tidaknya untuk dikemoterapi.

Manusia memiliki hobi atau kegemaran yang berbeda, salah satunya adalah memelihara hewan seperti kelinci, burung, kucing, marmut, dan anjing. Dalam memelihara hewan, terdapat banyak pertimbangan yang harus dipikirkan oleh pemelihara hewan, salah satunya adalah kandang hewan yang harus disediakan dan dirawat. Kondisi kandang seperti suhu dan kelembaban udara merupakan hal yang perlu diperhatikan karena berdampak langsung pada kesehatan hewan peliharaan. Selain itu, pemberian pakan pada hewan peliharaan yang tidak teratur juga akan berdampak pada kesehatan dan perkembangan hewan. Suhu dan kelembaban pada kandang juga memerlukan pengawasan secara cepat, karena mudah sekali mengalami perubahan, fokus utama dari pemeliharaan hewan terletak pada pemberian makan dan minumnnya, karena hewan juga sangat memerlukan nutrisi untuk mempertahankan hidup. Pemberian makan dan minum pada hewan juga cukup penting bagi pemilik hewan, karena dapat mengurangi kecemasan akan kondisi hewan peliharaan tersebut. Salah satu inovasi teknologi yang dapat diterapkan untuk mengawasi suhu, kelembaban udara, serta memberikan pakan hewan secara teratur adalah teknologi Internet of Things(IoT). Pada penulisan ini, penulis merancang sebuah sistem berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) yang mampu melakukan monitoring suhu dan kelembaban udara pada kandang, serta melakukan penjadwalan pakan secara otomatis dan realtime dengan menggunakan mikrokontroler Wemos D1, serta dapat dikontrol langsung menggunakan aplikasi android dengan menggunakan platform IoT Antares sebagai perantara pertukaran data.
A proteção estatal de pessoas traficadas e contrabandeadas à luz da segurança humana
Authors: Kelly Joyce
Published: July 2021

O tráfico e o contrabando de pessoas são  problemas globais que atingem várias dimensões da vida social. No cenário internacional, após a adoção da Convenção de Palermo em 2000, o tráfico e o contrabando de pessoas passaram a ser vistos pela comunidade internacional como problemas que fazem parte de um processo ligado essencialmente ao crime organizado internacional. Consequentemente, muitas vezes, devido à abordagem ser focada na segurança estatal, é dado mais ênfase à repreensão, deixando a proteção das vítimas em segundo plano. O presente artigo propõe uma discussão sobre o problema do tráfico e do contrabando pela ótica do indivíduo que é explorado. Para tanto, será utilizado o conceito de segurança humana, que fornece um quadro multidimensional que visa ampliar as ameaças a serem minimizadas pelo compromisso estatal com a dignidade e a liberdade do indivíduo. Metodologicamente, foi empregada uma revisão de literatura com o objetivo de identificar a discussão sobre tráfico dentro das Relações Internacionais. Além da literatura, exploraram-se documentos com o objetivo de apresentar evidências empíricas.Palavras-Chave: Tráfico. Contrabando. Migrantes. Estado. Segurança Humana.
Cyberspace: the challenges of norm formation
Authors: Menezes Leal Nunes Maria Claudia Leal
Published: July 2021

As regras de conduta apropriadas no ciberespaço sempre foram uma grande discussão ao longo dos anos, especialmente entre os Estados. A rápida expansão do ciberespaço tornou necessária a criação de um regime internacional para a conduta dos Estados, no entanto, as diversas vulnerabilidades existentes, atores e até definições diferentes dificultam o processo de consenso. A questão de atribuição de cyber incidentes, no entanto, era a questão que mais impedia o processo. Com avanços técnicos nesta área juntamente com a utilização de processos investigativos legais, atribuição pública está se tornando mais comum. Este estudo investiga a ligação entre atribuição pública e o que é possivelmente um novo regime no ciberespaço, utilizando um breve estudo de caso do NotPetya e como este é emblemático desta nova tendência.Palavras-Chave: Ciberespaço; Atribuição Pública; Regimes Internacionais.
Tradição oral, construção de diálogo e conhecimento na comunidade quilombola da Rasa
Authors: Vaz Ana Carolina , Cezar Lilian Sagio
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo é resultado de estudo de caso que tematiza as ações de educação formal dedicadas à História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Indígena em uma escola localizada na comunidade remanescente de quilombo da Rasa, no município de Armação dos Búzios (RJ). Por meio da articulação da Antropologia e da Pedagogia, realizamos pesquisa empregando entrevistas semiestruturadas e abertas realizadas com professoras(es), gestoras(es) escolares e familiares de alunas(os) que são quilombolas. Posteriormente, elegemos proceder investida etnográfica acerca das ações desenvolvidas por uma professora, com seus estudantes e a comunidade, com vistas à participação da turma na Festa Literária promovida pelo governo do município. Buscamos assim compreender as potencialidades e os desafios da abordagem dos conteúdos previstos nas leis 10.639/2003 e 11.645/2008. Discutimos, ainda, por meio da crítica decolonial, o papel da escola diante de sociedades cujos meios privilegiados de transmissão de conhecimentos são a tradição oral e a memória coletiva.
“Pedagogia do evento”: o dia da consciência negra no contexto escolar
Authors: Oliveira Rosenilton Silva de , Nascimento Leticia Abilio
Published: July 2021

O objetivo deste texto é refletir sobre as ações pedagógicas realizadas no contexto da educação básica em torno do Dia da Consciência Negra, cuja comemoração foi inserida no calendário escolar por meio da lei 10639/2003. A partir do trabalho de campo realizado em duas escolas paulistas, empenhou-se em compreender como se dá a consecução dos projetos concernentes a temática das relações étnico-raciais. Conclui-se, por um lado, que ainda ocorre nas unidades escolares, dezesseis anos após a promulgação da referida lei, o que Rachel R. B. Bakke (2011) denominou como pedagogia do evento, isto é, uma ação pedagógica pontual sobre uma temática específica, sem integração com o currículo escolar. Por outro, a aproximação entre universidade e escola possibilita o desenvolvimento de ações pedagógicas mais eficazes na constituição de uma educação antirracista.

Authors: Santos Lucas Keese dos
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo se constitui de fragmentos etnográficos e breves análises sobre modos de relacionar fala, parentesco e alteridade no âmbito da ação política realizada por lideranças guarani. Recolhidos entre os Guarani Mbya da região sul e sudeste do Brasil e com maior enfoque no estado de São Paulo, em encontros realizados entre os anos de 2015 e 2020, tais fragmentos apontam para a centralidade da fala e o uso diplomático que os Guarani Mbya dela fazem para agir entre os seus e entre os outros, notadamente em suas relações com os não indígenas, chamados genericamente por eles de jurua kuery.

A doença comunista e a sopa de morcegos. Sobre tráfico de animais, orientalismo e pandemia
Authors: Vander Velden Felipe
Published: July 2021

Qual foi, afinal, a origem do novo coronavirus, o SARS-CoV2, que provocou a crise sanitária pandêmica que vem transformando nosso mundo contemporâneo? De qual ou quais espécie(s) animal ou animais emergiu e em que país começou a se espalhar? Utilizando especialmente fontes da web, este artigo busca mostrar que as discussões em torno das origens do novo vírus e da doença que provoca articulam o biológico e o nacional, e o político e o viral, de formas complexas, e que estão intrinsecamente vinculadas à certas formas de relação entre humanos e animais, especialmente aquelas relacionadas ao seu consumo e ao seu tráfico em escalas internacionais.
Pesquisar junto aos mortos
Authors: Despret Vinciane
Published: July 2021

“Os mortos são gente como os outros”. A partir dessa proposição, feita porum de seus intelocutores em campo, a autora se lança numa investigação sobre os dispositivos e agenciamentos que permitem reduzir distâncias entre vivos e mortos e operar a comunicação entre eles. Respeitando as indeterminações aí presentes, incorporando-as à descrição e restituindo a riqueza das operações engendradas pelos atores, inclusive seus próprios modos de investigar o significado das mensagens dos mortos/espíritos, o texto aborda uma variedade de temas que animam o debate antropológico, tais como: antropomorfismo, rituais de possessão, comunicação inteligível e sensível, regimes de verdade, dispositivos terapêuticos, entre outros.
