Authors: RIBEIRO Victor Cezar Nepomuceno , BORTOLETTO JÚNIOR Geraldo
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT Brazil stands out as one of the largest manufacturers of MDF (medium density fiberboard) in the world. The industries are concentrated in the south and southeast of the country and are primarily based on the use of Pinus and Eucalyptus wood, which are available in extensive planted areas. In the northern region, there is only one MDF industrial plant. Despite an abundance of potential raw materials in this region, there is a lack of studies on native species wood and their industrial waste utilization for MDF production. The present study aimed to evaluate the properties of MDF manufactured from a mixture of cultivated paricá (Schizolobium amazonicum) wood and wood waste from native Amazonian species. The study assessed the isolated effects of different proportions of the raw materials and panel thicknesses on MDF properties. Panels were produced, and samples were obtained for testing. Using standard procedures, the following properties were determined: density, water absorption, thickness swelling, internal bonding, static bending, and resistance to screw withdrawal. The results revealed a significant impact of the analyzed variables on some physical and mechanical properties of MDF. With the exception of internal bonding, all other properties of the evaluated MDF panels met the specified regulatory requirements for use in furniture manufacturing. It is concluded that mixtures of the assessed raw materials have great potential for MDF production in the furniture industry. However, adjustments in the production process are recommended to improve the internal bonding property.

Resumo: Introdução: Como um componente substancial na relação médico-paciente, a comunicação pode ser determinante na construção da hipótese diagnóstica e na adesão ao tratamento por parte do paciente, e, por isso, há a necessidade de compreender os fatores que influenciam no processo comunicativo e descrever a efetividade dele. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os impactos da comunicação inadequada na relação médico-paciente. Método: Vinte e três pacientes voluntários com a maioridade atingida preencheram questionários de informações socioeconômicas, uso da linguagem e impressões da consulta médica. O médico preencheu um questionário sobre a experiência da consulta. Resultado: Os resultados indicaram que os pacientes apresentaram alguma dificuldade em comunicar ao médico o que sentiam, e, de modo complementar, os médicos, em 20% dos casos, tiveram algum grau de dificuldade de chegar à hipótese diagnóstica a partir do relato do paciente, o que se relaciona com a linguagem pouco descritiva utilizada pela maior parte dos pacientes. Conclusão: Dada a necessidade da qualidade da comunicação entre o médico e o paciente, conhecer os fatores que impactam o processo comunicativo é o primeiro passo para a garantia de um atendimento eficaz com autonomia do paciente e maior adesão ao plano terapêutico.

Published: February 2024

Resumo: Introdução: A graduação no curso de Medicina se dá por meio de uma formação teórico-prática que tem nos hospitais universitários o seu principal cenário de práticas. Nas consultas que envolvem questões da intimidade do paciente, o constrangimento é uma possibilidade. Isso pode comprometer a qualidade da assistência e/ou da formação médica. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar os aspectos psicoafetivos da consulta ginecológica, a partir da percepção das pacientes, de modo a encontrar elementos que possam favorecer a adequação da formação médica à humanização do atendimento. Método: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado no ambulatório de ginecologia de um hospital universitário. Foram incluídas as usuárias do ambulatório que estavam na sala de espera para atendimento ginecológico, configurando-se como uma amostra por acessibilidade. A coleta de dados se deu entre os meses de fevereiro e agosto de 2021, por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada com perguntas norteadoras previamente elaboradas. Realizaram-se 50 entrevistas, cujos discursos foram posteriormente transcritos e analisados pelo software IRaMuTeQ. Resultado: Sob a perspectiva das pacientes, o momento da consulta ginecológica envolve duas esferas de interesse principais: a assistência médico-ginecológica dada a elas e o ensino-aprendizado destinado aos estudantes. A partir dessa divisão, emergem duas perspectivas: aquela que parte da demanda pessoal, e a que considera o interesse do outro (o estudante). Nos discursos sobre a assistência ginecológica, as falas concentram o olhar para si, para o constrangimento vivenciado durante a assistência. Já nos discursos sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem dos estudantes, as falas referem-se, em sua maioria, ao reconhecimento da importância da prática clínica na formação médica. Dessa forma, ocorre uma intersecção entre “a assistência fornecida a mim” e o “processo de ensino-aprendizagem do outro”. O constrangimento das pacientes parece ser superado em favor de um objetivo maior: contribuir para a formação de futuros médicos. Conclusão: Apesar do constrangimento experimentado na consulta ginecológica em ambiente acadêmico, a compreensão das usuárias acerca da sua contribuição para a formação médica promove um posicionamento colaborativo, revelando-se como elemento facilitador da assistência nesse cenário. Foi revelada também uma atenuação do constrangimento proporcional à experiência da mulher nesse tipo de atendimento.

Published: February 2024

Abstract The Atlantic goliath grouper Epinephelus itajara is the largest grouper species in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the conservation status being Vulnerable (VU) globally and Critically Endangered (CR) in Brazil, the species continues to face threats from overfishing throughout its range. We used DNA barcoding employing the mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene to identify the illegal commercialization of E. itajara in fish markets from the northern (NC) and southern (SC) Brazilian coasts. Sampling was conducted in fish markets and aimed to confirm the identification of mischaracterized fish sold as E. itajara in the NC, as well as identifying fish fillets sold as the Dusky grouper in the SC. DNA barcoding allowed the unambiguous identification of 22 (84.6%) of the 26 analyzed fish market samples. Both sampled areas had confirmation of E. itajara illegal commercialization and from the 22 analyzed samples, 17 (77.3%) were confirmed to be E. itajara. Here we report two crimes, the illegal sale of E. itajara and commercial fraud by species substitution. This study has highlighted that the existing legislation that protects E. itajara in Brazilian waters requires the adoption of better public policies for the conservation of the species.

ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) is a primordial mineral nutrient for plants, as it is directly linked to physiological and biochemical processes essential for plant maintenance, and can influence the production and final quality of the product. Furthermore, P favors good root development, which can benefit sweet potato crop. Thus, the objective of the work is to assess the influence of increasing doses of P on the production and physical quality of sweet potatoes in two growing seasons in a semi-arid environment. The experiments were carried out from April to August 2021 (season 1) and from December 2021 to April 2022 (season 2) at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm - UFERSA, Mossoró, RN, BR. The design was randomized blocks, with four replications. The treatments consisted of five doses of P (0; 60; 120; 180 and 240 kg ha-1 of P2O5) via fertigation and tested on the sweet potato cultivar Paraná. After harvesting the roots, the number and yield of roots (commercial, non-commercial and total), the average mass and the percentage of commercial roots were evaluated. Commercial roots were evaluated for firmness, elasticity and cooking time. The P doses influenced the production characteristics, mainly at the dose of 60 kg ha-1 of P2O5, which promoted increases in the yield of commercial roots. The doses of P promoted the reduction of firmness for both growing seasons. A dose of 180 kg ha-1 of P2O5 led to the shortest cooking time for the second growing season.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of moisture and drying temperature on the physical properties of macauba kernels. The experiment was set up in a split-plot design, with drying temperature (60 °C, 70 °C, 80 °C, and 90 °C) assigned to the plots and moisture (4.3%, 5.3%, 6.0%, 7.0%, and 8.9% b.u.) assigned to the subplots, in completely randomized design (CRD) with nine replications for the variables (Ci, E, Dg, Ap, S, ρu, ε, and ψ) and four replications for the variable ρa. During the drying process, the geometric diameter, sphericity, roundness, projected and surface area, apparent specific mass, and total porosity were evaluated. These variables were analyzed according to drying temperature and moisture. Reducing the misture of macauba kernels led to an increase in geometric diameter and projected and surface area and to a reduction in roundness. Increasing the drying temperature led to a reduction in geometric diameter, sphericity, roundness, and projected area and surface area. The linear model fitted well the geometric diameter, roundness, and projected area and surface area of the macauba kernels for all drying temperatures and moistures. The quadratic model fitted well the phenomena of sphericity, total porosity, and apparent specific mass and unit-specific mass. It was concluded that the physical characteristics of macauba kernels are affected by varying drying temperatures and moistures. These data can be used to size the equipment for the main post-harvest operations.

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT This study analyzes the economic viability of exotic and native caatinga forest species grown in silvopastoral systems, combined with the Guinea grass forage crop, compared to monoculture forestry systems, using carbon credits as an alternative source of extra income, aiming for an economic return on the sale of standing timber for firewood production. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station of the Pernambuco Agricultural Research Institute (IPA) in Belém do São Francisco, located in the semi-arid region of the state of Pernambuco, in the Itaparica micro region. Four tree crops were chosen, two of which are native to the Caatinga biome: Angico (Anadenanthera colubrina var. Cebil) and Aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão), and two exotic eucalyptus clones, E. urophylla x E. tereticornis. Guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq) was chosen as the forage. The intercropping of Guinea grass with the two eucalyptus clones proved to be economically viable in all the economic parameters analyzed, and this is the most suitable for marketing standing wood for firewood production. It is not economically advisable to sell the standing wood for firewood production in the monoculture and silvopastoral systems with the native species (Angico and Aroeira) at 96 months of age due to the system's economic unfeasibility. By adding the possibility of financial credit through the atmospheric carbon sequestered by the trees, it is possible to make all the costs of forestry crops in silvopastoral and monoculture systems economically viable.

ABSTRACT Ceratitis capitata is a polyphagous species adapted to the most diverse hosts. The life cycle of C. capitata is influenced by the host species in which it develops, and information about its biological data in star fruit is scarce. This study aimed to characterize the biological cycle of C. capitata in star fruit and mango. Portions of 20 g were offered in Petri dishes lined with moistened filter paper to 20 first-instar larvae up to three hours of age. Evaluations were performed daily, quantifying the period and larval survival, pupal viability and mass (puparia weighed at 24 hours of age), longevity, egg-adult period, and fecundity. Larval survival ranged from 89.75% in star fruit to 94.25% in mango. Pupal viability and mass were higher in larvae fed mango. The length of the larval period was not affected by the food substrate. Total and daily fecundities were higher in females from larvae fed mango. Both fruits allowed the complete development of C. capitata, but mango is the most suitable host for its development.

ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the effects of pulse and continuous fertigation on the accumulation and export of nutrients by cowpea. The experimental design adopted was randomized blocks with 12 treatments distributed in a 5 x 2 + 2 factorial scheme, with four replicates, with five ETc replacement depths (40, 60, 80, 100 and 120%), combined with two types of fertigation application (pulse and continuous), plus two additional treatments under pulse (control 1) and continuous (control 2) irrigation with 100% ETc depth and conventional fertilization. The analyzed nutrients were N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn. Highest accumulations and exports of nutrients were obtained with pulse fertigation depths lower than 100% ETc. Conventional fertilization and pulse irrigation with 100% ETc depth promoted greater accumulation and export of nutrients compared to continuous irrigation. The descending order of nutrient accumulation for both types of fertigation application (pulse and continuous) was: N > K > Ca > P > Mg > S > Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu. The descending order of nutrient export by cowpea pods and grains was N > P > Ca > K > Mg > S > Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu for pulse fertigation and N > P > Ca > Mg > S > K > Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu for continuous fertigation.

ABSTRACT Considering the importance of evaluating the compatibility between the exploration system usually used in the Caatinga and the vegetation regeneration process, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of recovering structural parameters in an experimental unit subjected to different management systems aged 9, 12, 16, 20 and 26 years post-exploitation. The area was subjected to clearcutting (CC) regimes and three types of selective cuttings (SC1 – selective cutting 1, cut of trees with diameter at the base – DAB < 15 cm; SC2 – selective cutting 2, cut of trees with DAB > 10 cm; and SC3 – selective cutting 3, cut of trees with DAB between 5 and 10 cm). In permanent plots of 20 m × 20 m, individuals with a circumference at breast height (CBH) ≥ 6 cm and a total height greater than 1.0 m were measured. Over the years of monitoring, the CC presented the lowest values of density, dominance, and volume, not obtaining a recovery in basal area and volume even after 26 years of regeneration. Treatments SC2 and SC3 stood out regarding recovery of the original woody biomass stock, presenting values higher than the original ones and indicating that the initial data did not correspond to the site's maximum potential. The forest dynamics pointed to the insufficiency of the 15-year clearcutting cycle in terms of recovering this region forest composition and structure.

ABSTRACT In semi-arid regions, the use of saline water for irrigation has become an increasingly frequent reality due to the qualitative and quantitative scarcity of water sources occurring most of the year. Thus, the use of hydrogen peroxide can be a strategy capable of mitigating the deleterious effects of salt stress on plants and guaranteeing the agricultural production of crops such as soursop. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar application of hydrogen peroxide on the physiological and growth indices of soursop plants cv. Morada Nova irrigated with waters of different salinity levels. The treatments were distributed in a randomized block design, in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme, corresponding to four levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water and four concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, with three replicates. Foliar application of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations of 12, 18 and 15 µM, respectively, attenuated the effects of salt stress on stomatal conductance, CO2 assimilation rate and chlorophyll a synthesis of soursop, at 780 days after transplanting. The 30 µM hydrogen peroxide concentration intensified salt stress on gas exchange, variable fluorescence and electrolyte leakage in the leaf blade of soursop plants cv. Morada Nova, 780 days after transplanting.

ABSTRACT Hematological and biochemical analyses are paramount in assessing the health of different populations and their habitats, and knowledge on the specific values of each species is necessary, due to influence of several factors. In this context, this study aimed to determine the hematological and biochemical parameters of collared peccaries raised in captivity in the semi-arid Brazilian northeast associated to morphometric blood cell analyses. A total of 30 adult animals were investigated, divided into two groups (15 females and 15 males), averaging 20 kg and between 2 and 2.5 years old. Blood and serum samples were collected in the morning for hematological, serum biochemistry and cellular morphometry analyses. Data normality was determined by the Shapiro-Wilk test, and homoscedasticity, by Levene’s test. Concerning statistical differences between sexes, parametric data were analyzed by the t test for independent measurements and non-parametric data, by the Mann-Whitney test. Sex did not influence most of the studied variables, except for calcium, total proteins and urea and relative eosinophil counts. The environment and containment manner can influence collared peccary hematological and biochemical parameters, and blood cell morphometry and morphology data are similar to those of domestic cattle and carnivores.

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT The nutritional balance system may be more accurate in estimating the fertilization of crops compared to fertilizer recommendation tables. For its efficiency, the construction of the model needs information related to the requirement of nutrients by the crop and yield. The objective of this study was to generate models that best correlate the requirement of each nutrient by beet crop (Beta vulgaris L. var. vulgaris) and dry matter harvest index with root yield, in addition to determining the order of total nutrient accumulation and nutrient export index. The study was conducted in the Alto Paranaíba region, MG, Brazil, during the 2017 season. Forty-seven commercial areas of beet, with 'Boro' and 'Betty' hybrids, were sampled. The average yield of beet roots was 68.9 Mg ha-1, ranging from 38.4 to 98.6 Mg ha-1. The linear model was the most appropriate to express the relationship between yield and dry matter harvest index, as well as the relationship between yield and nutrient accumulations, except for the total accumulations (root + shoot) of Mn and Zn, which were described by the model of decreasing increments. The order of total nutrient accumulation in beet crop was: K > N > Ca > Mg > P > S > Fe > Zn > Mn > B > Cu. Beet export index follows the order: Zn > P > Cu > N > Mg > K > S > B > Ca > Fe > Mn.

ABSTRACT In semi-arid regions, the use of brackish water for irrigation can reduce crop yields. However, the use of mineral fertilizer has been tested to mitigate salt stress. In this context, the objective was to evaluate the effect of salt stress at different phenological stages on the yield of peanut under potassium fertilization. The experiment was carried out from August to November 2021, in the experimental area of the Universidade da Integração da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB), Redenção, Ceará, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized (CRD), in a 6 × 3 factorial scheme, with 6 replicates. Six strategies of irrigation with brackish water were applied from the following stages: vegetative (S1); flowering (S2); gynophore appearance (S3); pod formation (S4); fruiting (S5) and without salt stress (S6), and three doses of potassium: 0, 50 and 100% of the recommended dose. The use of brackish water in the vegetative stage led to lower pod length, pod mass, number of pods, number of marketable pods and yield. The dose corresponding to 100% of the recommended potassium dose mitigated salt stress in the pod formation and flowering stages, promoting a greater number of marketable pods, number of non-marketable pods, total number of pods and pod mass. The use of water with lower salinity throughout the cycle promoted greater pod mass, number of marketable pods and yield.

A Novel Approach to Teach Grammar in Chilean State Schools: From a Traditional to a Communicative Approach
Authors: Marchant Camila , Torrico Elizabeth
Published: February 2024

Abstract Grammar instruction has been regarded as a pivotal, yet controversial topic when it comes to foreign language teaching and learning. Views on this grammar debate have undergone considerable changes throughout the years, which have shifted from conventional methods, based on pure formulation of grammar structures, towards a more communicative approach to language learning. This article not only seeks to review the role of grammar teaching in publicly funded schools in Chile and the internal and external factors that entail difficulties in achieving a more progressive type of instruction, but also it intends to make a valuable contribution to teachers via an alternative approach to maximizing student learning and engagement when grammar is being tackled. This approach known as Encounter-Clarify-Remember-Internalize and Fluently use (henceforth ECRIF) is intended to serve as a reference for teachers interested in redirecting their teaching practices.

Published: February 2024

Abstract In the past ten years, new progress has been made in the study of Chinese overseas, which provides important scientific basis for the work of Chinese overseas and the formulation of relevant policies. Through data mining and analysis of overseas Chinese literature from 2008 to 2021, this work studied the co-occurrence relationships among keywords, authors, research institutions, publication sources of target articles, references and citations. The results suggest a few things. In terms of keyword analysis, there is a high probability that keywords coexist among overseas Chinese, Chinese society and Chinese history. In addition, the degree of cooperation between authors and research institutions in overseas research in China is not high. In terms of target journals, references and citations, resources such as Journal of Overseas Chinese Historical Studies, Overseas Chinese Publishing Company and People’s Publishing House are the main publications published by most overseas Chinese research institutions. In addition, academic articles cite fewer of the journal’s journals. Based on the above problems, this study puts forward relevant recommendations for decision-making, in order to further promote the exchange, sharing and development of China’s overseas research results.

Abstract The objective of this work is to develop a self-assessment model by students and alumni of Graduate Courses. A survey was carried out with students and alumni at a Higher Education institution in southern Brazil, and a valid sample of 2037 respondents was obtained. A model was proposed considering the perceptions of students and alumni regarding the institution’s infrastructure, the course subjects, the course professors, the advisor’s and the administrative supports as antecedents and satisfaction as a result of the course assessment. The results showed that the student’s perception of the subjects and the professors are the dimensions that most impact the assessment of the course. Furthermore, student satisfaction with the course is positively influenced by their self-assessment.

Abstract Callithrix kuhlii is present in forest mosaics, edge habitats, and abandoned fields in the Atlantic Forest. In Bahia and Minas Gerais. This study aimed to identify helminths from C. kuhlii and relate them to the clinical data, weights, and indices of the liver and gonads. Necropsies were performed on 13 adult marmosets that were run over on the BA-001 highway. A principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to describe the relationships between the variables investigated. Fifty-one helminths were collected from 30.77% (4/13) of the marmosets analyzed. Helminths were classified based on their morphological and morphometric characteristics. Primasubulura jacchi (Marcel, 1857), Platynosomum illiciens (Dougherty, 1946), and Prosthenorchis confusus (Dougherty, 1946) were the species identified, with prevalence rates of 7.69%, 7.69%, and 15.38%, respectively. In addition, this is a new host record of P. confusus. The two main axes of the PCA explained a high variability (PCA=67.7%), indicating reduced weight and indices of the organs of parasitized animals. This study expands the knowledge on parasites of C. kuhlii and its vulnerability to parasites, contributing to constructing an epidemiological profile of environmental health.
APPLICATION OF GLOBAL SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF PROBABILISTIC DESIGN SPACES
Authors: Kucherenko Sergei , Giamalakis D. , Shah N.
Published: February 2024

The design space (DS) is defined as the combination of materials and process conditions that provides assurance of
quality for a pharmaceutical product. A model-based approach to identify a probability-based DS requires costly simulations
across the entire process parameter space (certain) and the uncertain model parameter space and material
properties space. We demonstrate that application of global sensitivity analysis (GSA) can significantly reduce model
complexity and reduce computational time for identifying and quantifying a probabilistic DS by screening out nonimportant
uncertain parameters. The novelty of this approach is that the use of an indicator function, which takes only
binary values as a model function, allows application of a straightforward GSA based on Sobol' sensitivity indices
and avoids using more costly Monte Carlo filtering or GSA for constrained problems. We consider a chemical reaction
example to illustrate how this formulation results in a model reduction and a significant decrease of model runs.

Introduction: The SARS CoV 2 infection has resulted in several health, economic, and social crises in all areas. The disease shows a substantial biological diversity in humans causing a series of sequels in the trans- or post-infection period in the entire organism. Case Report: The manifestations that occur in the oral cavity and pharynx have not been evaluated. In this study, two clinical cases are reported. The first patient, a 67-year-old male, presents erosive lesions on the dorsal surface of his tongue after SARS CoV 2 infection. Results: Therapy consisting of reinforcing oral cleaning, use of antifungal solutions, mouthwashes containing superoxidation solution and B complex was given to the patient. The reported lesions improved satisfactorily. The second case, a 47-year-old male patient, presented vesiculobullous lesions on the lingual and labial mucosa accompanied by severe painful symptoms after SARS CoV 2 infection. An incisional biopsy was performed. The histopathological result was compatible with pemphigus vulgaris, and the treatment protocol was started with 0.1% topical mometasone and 2g miconazole gel, observing adequate involution of the lesions after 20 days. Conclusions: The aim of this study is to report on the lesions affecting the oral cavity and pharynx in post-COVID patients with the aim of carrying out a thorough intraoral examination, establishing a clinical or histopathological diagnosis to implement a specific treatment plan in each case to improve the health and quality of life of the patients. Keywords: SARS-CoV-2; Oral manifestations; Oral ulcer; Pemphigus; Mouth; Mucous membrane.

Introduction: This case report analyzes the regeneration potential of advanced-platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF) in large bony lesions. Advanced-platelet rich fibrin provides various growth factors which aids in faster healing. Materials and Methods: Patient presented with peri-apical radiolucency. CBCT showed bony radiolucency in teeth 31, 32, 41, 42. A full mouth mucoperiosteal flap was raised and a cyst lining was enucleated. Apicoectomy was done with respect to 31, 32, 41, 42 along with and retrograde with a preparation of APRF clots were placed in the bony cavity. Results: Post-op CBCT at 6 months showed a significant difference in size and bone density of the lesion. Conclusions: Advanced-platelet rich fibrin has shown promising results in reducing the size of bony defect and periapical lesion in this case. Keywords: Cysts; Apicoectomy; Endodoncia Regenerativa; Platelet-Rich Fibrin; Regeneration; Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Aim: Patients presenting with bimaxillary proclinati-on often have an accompanying maxillary alveolar pro-cumbency. Case Report: Posterior relocation of the anterior alveolus is an important mechanism to reduce this prominence. Torquing the maxillary incisor roots palatally allows the anterior alveolus (point A) to remodel distally. This technique is non-invasive and therefore has good patient acceptance. Results: The following case report demonstrates the involvement of the incisive canal due to increased palatal root torque of the maxillary left central incisor root Conclusions: The use of 3D imaging in the diagnosis, its clinical complications as well as their remedial measures is also discussed. Keywords: Incisive canal; Root resorption; Torque; Orthodontics; Maxilla; Cone-beam computed tomography.
Narcogarimpo: las afinidades electivas entre los frentes de minería ilegal y la expansión del narcotráfico en la Amazonía brasileira
Authors: Pereira Chagas Rodrigo
Published: February 2024

Este estudio lleva a cabo una interpretación sociohistórica de los frentes de minería ilegal y sus afinidades con los dos grupos criminales, Comando Vermelho (CV) y Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), que se expandieron violentamente desde Rio de Janeiro y São Paulo hacia la región amazónica, a partir de 2016. Se sostiene la hipótesis de que la concepción nativa "narcogarimpo", que surgió en el contexto actual, puede contribuir a ilustrar tendencias en un proceso de reorganización de la ecología criminal en la Amazonía brasileira. Para fundamentar la hipótesis, se recurrió a la revisión bibliográfica y al diálogo constante con los datos empíricos que se recopilaron mediante la reflexión etnológica y la práctica etnográfica, la observación directa, la investigación en archivos documentales, entre otros.

Finalmente se concluye que existen desafíos y oportunidades en términos de integración yequidad en condiciones locales para el fortalecimiento de las relaciones internacionales entre ambos países.
Los límites de la narrativa gráfica de la migración ante el discurso público mediático y el enfoque de derechos humanos
Authors: Carmona Javiera
Published: February 2024

The intensification of violence and the violation of human rights in migratory crises is currently a centraltheme in the experimentation of graphic narratives, which have given rise to the hybrid and critical genrerepresented by the graphic chronicle and the graphic novel of migration. The verbo-visual treatmentis analyzed in the series of twelve graphic chronicles of migration “My life as an immigrant in Chile”(2018) of Sábado Magazine, in the newspaper El Mercurio, an agent of public discourse that has consolidatedstereotypes and prejudices about the migrant population. Through qualitative content analysis ofthe image-text articulation, the verb-visual strategies of the graphic chronicle of journalistic and literarytone are examined. The elements that confer authenticity, reliability and veracity to the chronicle wereestablished according to the use of testimony, portraits of the protagonists and contextual data. Likewise,literary elements were determined such as the staging of vulnerability, enhancement of the culturalfabric, multiple narrative voices and the recreation of resilient resistance, which together allude to thehuman rights perspective. The graphic chronicle intensifies the use of the testimonial voice and omitsthe author (witness), but the latter appears in the verb-visual articulation in biases and introduction ofthe ambiguity of migration experiences, and in the relationship with the “distant near”. The graphicchronicle of migration can be significantly modulated by the mediatized public discourse, weakening itscritical reading of reality.
