Authors: Shah Tariq , Xu Jinsong , Zou Xiling , Zhang Xuekun
Published: July 2018

Abiotic stresses greatly influenced wheat productivity executed by environmental factors such as drought, salt, water submergence, and heavy metals. The effective management at molecular level is mandatory for thorough understanding of plant response to abiotic stress. The molecular mechanism of stress tolerance is complex and requires information at the omic level to understand it effectively. In this regard, enormous progress has been made in the omics field in the areas of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The emerging field of ionomics is also being employed for investigating abiotic stress tolerance in wheat. Omic approaches generate a huge amount of data, and adequate advancements in computational tools have been achieved for effective analysis. However, the integration of omic-scale information to address complex genetics and physiological questions is still a challenge. In this review, we have described advances in omic tools in the view of conventional and modern approaches being used to dissect abiotic stress tolerance in wheat. Emphasis was given to approaches such as quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genomic selection (GS). Comparative genomics and candidate gene approaches are also discussed considering identification of potential genomic loci, genes, and biochemical pathways involved in stress tolerance mechanism in wheat. This review also provides a comprehensive catalog of available online omic resources for wheat and its effective utilization. We have also addressed the significance of phenomics in the integrated approaches and recognized high-throughput multi-dimensional phenotyping as a major limiting factor for the improvement of abiotic stress tolerance in wheat.

Hepatic fibrosis is the wound-healing process of chronic hepatic disease that leads to end-stage of hepatocellular carcinoma and demolition of hepatic structures. EMT has been identified to phenotypic conversion of the epithelium to mesenchymal phenotype that occurred during fibrosis. Smad decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) is a synthetic DNA fragment containing complementary sequence of Smad transcription factor. Thus, this study evaluated the anti-fibrotic effects of Smad decoy ODN on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic fibrosis in mice. As shown in histological results, CCl4 treatment triggered hepatic fibrosis and increased Smad expression. On the contrary, Smad decoy ODN administration suppressed fibrogenesis and EMT process. The expression of Smad signaling and EMT-associated protein was markedly decreased in Smad decoy ODN treatment mice compared with CCl4-injuried mice. In conclusion, these data indicate the practicability of Smad decoy ODN administration for preventing hepatic fibrosis and EMT processes.

More than 70 % of patients with breast cancer have estrogen-receptor-positive tumors (ER+) and are considered hormone- sensitive. That is why a vast majority of patients with early operable  tumors receive adjuvant endocrine therapy. Patients with metastatic  ER+ breast cancer also receive hormone therapy as first-line  treatment. Patients with ER+/PR+ locally advanced breast cancer  including potentially operable cases (cT2N1, cT3N0M0) are still a  subject to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in most of the oncology  centers in Russia and worldwide. More than 10 years ago, several  trials evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy were  conducted in the Petrov Research Institute of Oncology (aromatase  inhibitors vs tamoxifen, neoadjuvant endocrine therapy vs  neoadjuvant chemotherapy, etc.) The primary endpoint was the  evaluation of pathologic complete/partial response to therapy and  the frequency of breast-conserving surgeries following neoadjuvant  treatment. We now represent 10-year long-term follow-up data on  comparison of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with neoadjuvant  endocrine therapy after retrospective determination of IHC- phenotypes of 239 patients with ER+ breast cancer. The study  results show tendency to better 10-year disease-free survival in  patients with luminal-A breast cancer who received endocrine  therapy compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (72.8 % vs 53.9  %, respectively, p=0.062) There were no statistically significant  differences in DFS rates among patients with the luminal B breast  cancer subtype (41 % vs 40 %) The discovery of biomarkers of  potential resistance to endocrine therapy (cycline-dependant kinase  activity [cdk 4/6], estrogenreceptor mutation [ESR1], mTOR  signaling pathway activity, co-expression of the ER and HER2neu  [ER+/ HER2neu3+]) and ways to inhibit the activity of the resistance pathways (palbocyclib, everolimus, etc.) have expanded the  armamentarium of endocrine-therapy for not only metastatic and  locally-advanced but also operable cases of ER+ breast cancer.

Published: July 2018

Actuality. In the conditions of modern development of medicine constantly there is an improvement of existing and emergence of  new methods of treatment of oncological diseases. The use of high- tech methods of medical care for the treatment of cancer allows to  increase the survival rates in the detection and subsequent  treatment of malignant neoplasms. This circumstance causes the  appearance of patients with cancer desire not only to cure this  underlying disease, but also to preserve the quality of life that  preceded it. Often, patients of reproductive age wish to realize their  reproductive function. The article analyzes the possibilities of the  medical organization, when detecting breast cancer in a patient of  childbearing age, to use methods of treatment aimed at the implementation of the patient’s reproductive rights.

Purpose of research. To perform the law on the protection of  public health, which provides patient before the start of anticancer  therapy kryokonservierung oocyte.

Results. It is noted that such opportunities are limited by the current legislation that does not grant the right to persons with such  cancer at the expense of the budget to use the methods of assisted  reproduction and cryopreservation technologies to maintain their  reproductive potential. The article substantiates the need to  consolidate the possibility for women of childbearing age who have  breast cancer and want to realize their reproductive function after  treatment before chemo - and radiation therapy to receive and  cryopreservate with the subsequent storage of oocytes, embryos or ovarian tissue at the expense of the budget.
Cover Crop Effects on Net Ecosystem Carbon Balance in Grain and Silage Maize
Authors: Cates Anna M. , Jackson Randall D.
Published: July 2018

Core Ideas

Bluegrass cover crop decreased maize productivity compared to rye or no cover crop.

Cover crop biomass was greater with silage maize than grain, but net ecosystem carbon balance was negative.

Cover crop growth did not offset maize silage removal.

Seasonal cover crop rhizosphere priming did not affect net ecosystem carbon balance.

Cover crops have potential to increase net ecosystem C balance (NECB) and subsequent accrual of soil organic C (SOC) by lengthening the growing season in annual agriculture. By measuring net primary productivity (NPP) and C lost to harvest and heterotrophic respiration (Rh), our objective was to evaluate NECB of annual (winter rye, Secale cereale L.) and perennial (Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis L.) cover crops compared to no cover crop control in continuous maize (Zea mays L.) harvested for either grain or silage. There was no effect of cover crop on NECB, but grain maize NECB was greater than silage (32 vs. −433 g C m−2), indicating greater SOC sink when maize residue was retained. Rye was more productive in silage (147 g C m−2) compared to grain (32 g C m−2). Rye increased total belowground NPP in silage maize (rye: 326, no cover: 275, bluegrass: 268 g C m−2) but bluegrass decreased aboveground NPP in grain (rye: 1079, no cover: 1179, bluegrass: 1026 g C m−2) and silage (rye: 1037, no cover: 1025, bluegrass: 864 g C m−2). Yield was lower under bluegrass (781 g C m−2) than no cover (962 g C m−2) in silage. Losses of C to Rh varied by year, but not by harvest or cover crop. While cover crops may provide multiple benefits to farmers and society, their capacity to directly increase SOC may be low.
Contemporary Issues of Climate Change on Oil and Gas Industry Operations
Authors: Oyerinde Oyeleke Oluwaseun
Published: July 2018

The reality of climate change as an aspect of broader global and environmental change attributable to either natural or anthropogenic cause is becoming more evident. Equally, energy, chiefly oil and gas is not only a major climate change inducer via greenhouse gas emissions anymore, but also a victim of the impacts therein. As such, this paper examines the impact of recorded changes in climatic variables on oil and gas operations categorized into upstream, midstream and downstream operations representing exploration and production, transportation, along with processing and distribution respectively. Identified changes in weather events primarily driven by general climate change having significant impact on oil and gas operations and infrastructure include increasing temperature, increasing flooding, storm surges, sea level rise, coastal erosion, intense winds and waves, drought/water shortage and subsidence/landslides/mudslides and they all pose tremendous risk to onshore and offshore (shallow and deep water) operations and installations. Several adaptation measures are currently being implemented some of which are already yielding positive results. Adaptation measures are being complemented with mitigation strategies as long-term solutions. Sadly, most developing oil producing countries are still way behind in adopting various existing adaptation measures and implementing mitigative strategies due to prevalent low capacity.
A FLEXIBLE SUB-BLOCK IN REGION BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL BASED ON TRANSITION REGION
Authors: Rosyadi Ahmad Wahyu , Danardono Renest , Manek Siprianus Septian , Arifin Agus Zainal
Published: July 2018

One of the techniques in region based image retrieval (RBIR) is comparing the global feature of an entire image and the local feature of image’s sub-block in query and database image. The determined sub-block must be able to detect an object with varying sizes and locations. So the sub-block with flexible size and location is needed. We propose a new method for local feature extraction by determining the flexible size and location of sub-block based on the transition region in region based image retrieval. Global features of both query and database image are extracted using invariant moment. Local features in database and query image are extracted using hue, saturation, and value (HSV) histogram and local binary patterns (LBP). There are several steps to extract the local feature of sub-block in the query image. First, preprocessing is conducted to get the transition region, then the flexible sub-block is determined based on the transition region. Afterward, the local feature of sub-block is extracted. The result of this application is the retrieved images ordered by the most similar to the query image. The local feature extraction with the proposed method is effective for image retrieval with precision and recall value are 57%.

Published: July 2018

Someone's understanding and stance on a particular controversial topic can be influenced by daily news or articles he consume everyday. Unfortunately, readers usually do not realize that they are reading controversial articles. In this paper, we address the problem of automatically detecting controversial article from citizen journalism media. To solve the problem, we employ a supervised machine learning approach with several hand-crafted features that exploits linguistic information, meta-data of an article, structural information in the commentary section, and sentiment expressed inside the body of an article. The experimental results shows that our proposed method manages to perform the addressed task effectively. The best performance so far is achieved when we use all proposed feature with Logistic Regression as our model (82.89\% in terms of accuracy). Moreover, we found that information from commentary section (structural features) contributes most to the classification task.

Development and Validation of an Eco-Friendly and Low-Cost Method for the Quantification of Cefepime Hydrochloride in Powder for Injectable Solution Using Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy
Authors: Rodrigues Danilo F. , Salgado Hérida R.N.
Published: July 2018

Background:

A simple, eco-friendly and low-cost Infrared (IR) method was developed and
validated for the analysis of Cefepime Hydrochloride (CEF) in injectable formulation. Different from
some other methods, which employ organic solvents in the analyses, this technique does not use these
types of solvents, removing large impacts on the environment and risks to operators.

Objective:

This study aimed at developing and validating a green analytical method using IR spectroscopy
for the determination of CEF in pharmaceutical preparations.

Methods:

The method was validated according to ICH guidelines and the quantification of CEF was
performed in the spectral region absorbed at 1815-1745 cm-1 (stretching of the carbonyl group of β-
lactam ring).

Results:

The validated method showed to be linear (r = 0.9999) in the range of 0.2 to 0.6 mg/pellet of
potassium bromide, as well as for the parameters of selectivity, precision, accuracy, robustness and
Limits of Detection (LOD) and Quantification (LOQ), being able to quantify the CEF in pharmaceutical
preparations. The CEF content obtained by the IR method was 103.86%.

Conclusion:

Thus, the method developed may be an alternative in the quality control of CEF sample
in lyophilized powder for injectable solution, as it presented important characteristics in the determination
of the pharmaceutical products, with low analysis time and a decrease in the generation of toxic
wastes to the environment.
Investigation of the Roles of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine in Chronic Myeloid Leukemic Cells and their Erythroid or Megakaryocytic Differentiated Lines
Authors: Aydın Banu , Cabadak Hülya , Gören M. Zafer
Published: July 2018

Background:

Many studies suggested that Acetylcholine (ACh) might serve as an autocrine/ paracrine
growth factor in several types of tumors or tumor cell lines. High levels of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity
have been reported in primary brain tumors, ovarian, colon and lung tumors.

Objectives:

The role of cholinergic signaling needs to be clarified in in leukemia.

Method:

K562 cells were derived from a chronic myelogenous leukemia patient during blast crisis serving as
pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. K562 cells were incubated with various cholinergic agonists or antagonists
to investigate the role of ACh in different differentiated cell lines.

Results:

Our experiments showed that AChE activity was increased in response to ACh in undifferentiated
K562 cells, but in the erythroid differentiated K562 cells a high concentration of ACh (1 mM) decreased the
AChE activity. ACh failed to elevate the AChE activity in the megakaryocytic differentiated K562 cells. An
AChE inhibitor, eserine, also suppressed the AChE activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Choline
uptake inhibition by hemicholinium did increase the AChE activity but not in the erythroid differentiated K562
cell line. Likewise, megakaryocytic differentiated K562 cells also displayed a similar pattern. Vesamicole, a
vesicular choline uptake inhibitor, produced similar results. Curare, a nicotinic antagonist, elevated the cell
counts of the megakaryocytic differentiated cells.

Conclusion:

Our findings may suggest excess extracellular ACh will decrease the cell growth in undifferentiated
and megakaryocytic differentiated K562 cell lines through nicotinic type cholinoceptors.
Review of Guidelines for Seismic Design of Structures with Damping Systems
Authors: Ruiz Sonia E.
Published: July 2018

Objective:

The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the specifications of three guidelines for the seismic design of structures with passive dampers, to compare their similarities, as well as to discuss topics in which each guideline would be desirable to extend. The guidelines compared here are: a) Minimum Design Load for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI 7-16), b) European Standard Anti-seismic Devices (EN 15129), and c) Technical Regulations for Seismic Design, corresponding to Mexico City Building Code (NTCS-17).

Methods:

The document summarizes and discusses the most significant differences and similarities among the three guidelines for the design of structures with energy dissipation devices. The analysis and discussion are focused on the following sections: 1) Type of Dissipation Devices, 2) General Design Requirements, 3) Procedure Selection, 4) Seismic Design Action, 5) Inspection and 6) Testing of Dissipaters.

Conclusion:

The paper identifies the gaps in each guideline and gives recommendations about its possible extension. The paper concludes that ASCE/SEI 7-16 presents the procedure selection section with more detail; EN 15129 describes with more detail the Testing section, and NTCS-17, the Inspection section. The paper can be useful for engineers and guideline writers from the USA, Europe, Mexico and other countries that are in process of developing their guidelines for structures with supplementary damping.
The Remote Food Photography Method and SmartIntake App for the Assessment of Alcohol Use in Young Adults: Feasibility Study and Comparison to Standard Assessment Methodology
Authors: Fazzino Tera L , Martin Corby K , Forbush Kelsie
Published: July 2018

Background

Heavy drinking is prevalent among young adults and may contribute to obesity. However, measurement tools for assessing caloric intake from alcohol are limited and rely on self-report, which is prone to bias.

Objective

The purpose of our study was to conduct feasibility testing of the Remote Food Photography Method and the SmartIntake app to assess alcohol use in young adults. Aims consisted of (1) quantifying the ability of SmartIntake to capture drinking behavior, (2) assessing app usability with the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ), (3) conducting a qualitative interview, and (4) comparing preference, usage, and alcohol use estimates (calories, grams per drinking episode) between SmartIntake and online diet recalls that participants completed for a parent study.

Methods

College students (N=15) who endorsed a pattern of heavy drinking were recruited from a parent study. Participants used SmartIntake to send photographs of all alcohol and food intake over a 3-day period and then completed a follow-up interview and the CSUQ. CSUQ items range from 1-7, with lower scores indicating greater usability. Total drinking occasions were determined by adding the number of drinking occasions captured by SmartIntake plus the number of drinking occasions participants reported that they missed capturing. Usage was defined by the number of days participants provided food/beverage photos through the app, or the number of diet recalls completed.

Results

SmartIntake captured 87% (13/15) of total reported drinking occasions. Participants rated the app as highly usable in the CSUQ (mean 2.28, SD 1.23). Most participants (14/15, 93%) preferred using SmartIntake versus recalls, and usage was significantly higher with SmartIntake than recalls (42/45, 93% vs 35/45, 78%; P=.04). Triple the number of participants submitted alcohol reports with SmartIntake compared to the recalls (SmartIntake 9/15, 60% vs recalls 3/15, 20%; P=.06), and 60% (9/15) of participants reported drinking during the study.

Conclusions

SmartIntake was acceptable to college students who drank heavily and captured most drinking occasions. Participants had higher usage of SmartIntake compared to recalls, suggesting SmartIntake may be well suited to measuring alcohol consumption in young adults. However, 40% (6/15) did not drink during the brief testing period and, although findings are promising, a longer trial is needed.

Dedicated to the centenary of Russian spelling reform. The fate of Russian language in the publications of Narodopravstvo weekly
Authors: Любомудров Алексей , Lyubomudrov Alexei
Published: July 2018

The work dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Russian spelling reform deals with the history of the fight for the national cultural values in the epoch of revolutionary destruction. The research focuses on the publications of 1917 in Narodopravstvo weekly that have been staying out of view of the academicians. These are articles “Fate of language” by D. Arkin, “Obligatory illiteracy” by N. Dosekin and “Our language” by B. Zaytsev. These works allow to clarify some specifics of linguistic consciousness of the Russian society, bring additional shades to the picture of cultural and historical process of early 20th c. Realizing the threat of the cultural layer destruction, the authors of the articles oppose the escalation of negative trends in language and suggest the ways to purify Russian speech, bringing back its vitality and strength. The central point of polemics is the spelling reform begun by the Provisional government and then violently enforced by the Bolsheviks. Arguments against new spelling, the most important of them being a gap with centuries-old heritage of the people are considered. The work also includes the review of declarations of writers and creative figures who attempted, following suit to Narodopravstvo, to have the reform cancelled in the first year of the Soviet power. Evaluations of traditional spelling among the Russian émigré and in the modern academic discourse are also presented.

This study examines the causal relationship between warming temperatures and armed conflicts in the developing world, and specifically, in Syria. The goal is to find and establish a correlation between the two factors and to understand how their complex dimensions might be influenced by the political, economic, social and environmental context in which they take place. This has been done by examining studies from Africa and the ongoing war in Syria, where resource scarcities resulting from changing weather patterns and environmental mismanagement have contributed to current political, economic and social instability. By demonstrating the increasingly prominent role climate change plays in armed conflicts, this study highlights the security challenges of political stabilization and sustainable industrialization in weak states.
Perspectivas Locales ~ NAFTA in Southern Mexico: An Economic Godsend or Curse?
Authors: Bowness Jack
Published: July 2018

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was adopted with the hope that the accord would bring economic growth to Mexico, reducing poverty and social inequality. It is now 24 years later, and these development goals have not been achieved. Using primary source interview material from indigenous people of southern Oaxaca, along with a review of the literature and quantitative data, this article contends that NAFTA has contributed to an increase in rural poverty, regional disparities, and the emigration of campesinos from their native communities. With NAFTA 2.0 negotiations underway, this paper advocates that the voices of indigenous people should be heard at the negotiating table.

Authors: Klarmann Noah , Zoller Benjamin Timo , Sattelmayer Thomas
Published: July 2018

A numerical model is presented for the precise prediction of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions in gas turbine combustors. All models are based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This work starts with an introduction of fundamental mechanisms, which are responsible for CO emissions. As we will show, there is a need of CO-models as standard combustion models fail to predict CO-emissions precisely. For the purpose of validation, experiments are conducted. High ratios of secondary air is bypassing the burner in order to induce interaction of the flame front with secondary air, as the flame brush gets diluted and decreases in reactivity. Note, this is an important mechanism for elevated CO emissions in multi-burner systems with high staging ratio. Five operating points with each having a different adiabatic flame temperature were measured. They include equilibrium (complete burnout) and superequilibrium CO (incomplete burnout). In summary, it is shown that the prediction of CO with the presented models lead to a significant improvement as it captures the transition from equilibrium to superequilibrium CO. Furthermore, the strong underestimation of CO predicted by standard combustion models is shown.

Published: July 2018

O objetivo central deste artigo é compreender a gestão democrática da escola pública brasileira a partir da perspectiva da utopia concreta da transformação social. A metodologia assume a abordagem qualitativa da pesquisa social, por meio da análise documental e do levantamento bibliográfico. O estudo concluiu que os mecanismos legais são progressos importantes para a gestão escolar democrática, mas que não a consolidam por completo. A utopia democrática passa a se transformar em um horizonte a ser perseguido por aqueles que acreditam nas capacidades transformadoras da escola.Palavras-chave: Democracia; Gestão escolar; Transformação social.

In patients with diabetes, impaired activity of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, member 13), the plasma metalloprotease that cleaves highly thrombogenic von Willebrand factor multimers, is a major risk factor of cardiovascular events. Here, using Adamts13−/− mice made diabetic by streptozotocin, we investigated the impact of the lack of ADAMTS13 on the development of diabetes-associated end-organ complications. Adamts13−/− mice experienced a shorter life span than their diabetic wild-type littermates. It was surprising that animal death was not related to the occurrence of detectable thrombotic events. The lack of ADAMTS13 drastically increased the propensity for ventricular arrhythmias during dobutamine-induced stress in diabetic mice. Cardiomyocytes of diabetic Adamts13−/− mice exhibited an aberrant distribution of the ventricular gap junction connexin 43 and increased phosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), and with the consequent CaMKII-induced disturbance in Ca2+ handling, which underlie propensity for arrhythmia. In vitro, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) promoted, in a paracrine manner, CaMKII phosphorylation in murine HL-1 cardiomyocytes, and ADAMTS13 acted to inhibit TSP1-induced CaMKII activation. In conclusion, the deficiency of ADAMTS13 may underlie the onset of lethal arrhythmias in diabetes through increased CaMKII phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes. Our findings disclose a novel function for ADAMTS13 beyond its antithrombotic activity.

O trabalho aqui apresentado é parte de um estudo mais amplo e que se propõem a analisar os 23 anos das Paradas LGBTs2. A pesquisa aqui apresentada tem como objetivo analisar a construção do discurso jornalístico a fim de verificar no seu discurso a forma com a qual ela vem trabalhando as identidades homossexuais. Trabalharemos com os discursos produzidos pela imprensa escrita, em especial os jornais O Globo e Folha de São Paulo, por ocasião das realizações das Paradas do Orgulho LGBT2 nas cidades do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo. Abordaremos as matérias que noticiaram o evento nos meses de sua realização desde 1995 até 2010. Por fim, tentaremos identificar as múltiplas vozes existentes na produção jornalística, os sentidos acerca da inclusão e exclusão social destes grupos, e de que maneira a imprensa produz realidade sobre a Parada e os LGBTs.
As Cidades contemporâneas e suas transformações
Authors: Duarte Gerson Constância , Siqueira Maria da Penha Smarzaro , Duarte Maurizete Pimentel Loureiro
Published: July 2018

O estudo sobre a cidade possibilitou ao homem um conhecimento maior sobre as diferenças e os conflitos que nela e dela emergem, assim como permitiu que a historiografia demonstrasse, através da evolução da economia, da política, da sociedade e de sua cultura, as transformações que impulsionaram o desenvolvimento urbano. No âmbito destas questões traçamos uma análise relativa a conceitos e categorias das cidades, refletindo sobre as origens e as principais transformações do espaço urbano, assim como da sociedade nele inserido. Tal discussão nos permite pensar as cidades em uma ampla diversidade de abordagens que perpassam pela sua função, organização e particularidades, que interagem e refletem impactos sobre as formas de reprodução social. Na complexidade socioespacial das cidades abordamos a questão da violência como um fenômeno social tradicionalmente enraizado no ambiente urbano.
“Os índios do Planalto Paulistano sob a perspectiva das autoridades de São Paulo (1828-1834)
Authors: Azevedo Larissa Biato
Published: July 2018

É conhecido o fato de que a Constituição de 1824 não tratou sobre as populações indígenas do Brasil. Enquanto não se definia jurídica e amplamente sobre o assunto, coube aos governos provinciais discutir sobre as demandas relacionadas aos indígenas. Este artigo explora de que forma os membros do Conselho de Presidência e do Conselho Geral da província de São Paulo lidaram com as contendas entre índios e brancos que ocorreram no Planalto Paulistano e como puderam elaborar projetos que indiretamente envolviam os índios dessa mesma região. Indica-se que as estruturas institucionais criadas entre a segunda e a terceira década do século XIX viabilizaram, em São Paulo, diferentes abordagens sobre as populações nativas, delineando as dimensões da política indigenista nesse período e o lugar dos indígenas no pacto político do Império.
