Authors: Fuenzalida Manuel , Trebilcock María Paz , Landon Paulette , Maturana Francisco
Published: October 2024

From the evidence obtained in the 2017 Chilean population census pyramid for the country scale, the question arises whether the population structure by age is replicated homogeneously at the subnational level or, on the contrary, it presents heterogeneous local characteristics based on age groups. For each of the third-level subnational units (n=346), the standard deviation of the different age classes was compared in relation to the national population pyramid. With these differences, the k-means method was used to identify eight groups of communes, and four demographic indicators were calculated. The results allow to affirm that the population structure by age and sex at the communal level presents heterogeneous characteristics. The analysis of territorial patterns identified groups of the aging population, households with active aging, transition to aging, adult population, men in terminal productive age, men in initial age, households with children under 15 years and households with children over 15 years.

Authors: Zhang Chuanyong , Cai Qimeng
Published: October 2024

Measuring the occupational diversity and trend of Chinese cities from the perspective of the distribution of urban occupational types, and discussing the impact of urban characteristics on urban occupational diversity can provide reference for guiding urban full and high-quality employment. By using the improved Herfindahl index, panel data fixed effect model and Oaxaca blinder decomposition, it is found that the occupational diversity in Chinese cities showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing from 2002 to 2016, which was due to the adjustment of urban industrial structure and the emergence of new economy after the financial crisis; at the same time, the larger the city, the higher the administrative level and the more developed the economy, the higher the degree of occupational diversity. The conclusion of the study is helpful to intuitively understand the occupational distribution, industrial structure and division of labor in different cities, evaluate the human resource structure and economic development potential of cities, and then provide policy suggestions for different cities to formulate industrial development and human resource planning.
Cultural diversity and enterprise innovation: a study from the perspective of dialect
Authors: Pan Yue , Xiao Jinli , Dai Yiyi
Published: October 2024

China has a vast territory. The rich and different regional culture formed over the past 5000 years is an ideal scene for the study of "culture and finance". This paper uses the number of urban dialects and dialect differentiation index to measure regional cultural diversity, and empirically studies its impact on enterprise innovation. The results show that in areas with more diverse cultures, private high-tech enterprises will obtain more innovative output. After using instrumental variables to solve endogenous problems and excluding the impact of educational development, the conclusion of this paper is still robust. Further research also found that the greater the difference between different dialects in the city where the company is located, the greater the population inflow, the better the inclusiveness and the higher the level of intellectual property protection, the more significant the impact of dialect diversity on innovation. The conclusion of this paper will help the academic community to understand the non institutional reasons behind the unbalanced economic development of Chinese cities from a new perspective, and also provide empirical evidence from non immigrant countries with deep cultural heritage for the current international academic research on "culture and finance".

Published: October 2024

With the development of the new media era, factors such as digitization and entertainment are driving changes in the way traditional culture is disseminated. In comparison to traditional distribution media, online games are more vivid, capable of retaining the characteristics of traditional culture while undergoing a livelier transformation and development, and are disseminated in a manner that is widely appealing to the masses. This study, based on the new media characteristics of online games and combined with the current situation of traditional culture dissemination in China and domestic game cases, analyzes the diverse advantages of online games in cultural dissemination, including form, content, promotional methods, and cross-border linkage. It summarizes a dissemination path system starting from three points: cultural resources, game content, and game audience, in order to contribute to the enhancement of the dissemination value of online games and the promotion of contemporary dissemination of traditional culture.
Efficient transfer attacks via enhancing perturbation robustness
Authors: Zhong Chengzhi , Hu Jipeng , Xie Mengda , Fang Meie
Published: October 2024

With the rapid development of deep learning technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has found wide applications in diverse domains such as image classification, text processing, and autonomous driving. However, the increasing prevalence of security issues cannot be ignored. Studies have shown that deep neural network models face security risks due to adversarial sample attacks. These attacks involve adding imperceptible perturbations to deceive the model’s classification results, exposing vulnerabilities in deep learning model applications. While transfer attack methods offer practicality in real-world scenarios, their current performance in black-box attacks is limited. In this study, we propose a method that combines an attention mechanism and a frequency domain transformation to enhance the robustness of adversarial perturbations, thereby improving the performance of transfer attacks in black-box attack scenarios of deep learning models. Specifically, we introduce the CBAM-ResNet50 enhancement model based on attention mechanisms into transfer attacks, enhancing the model’s ability to identify important image regions. By adding perturbations to these attention-concentrated regions, adversary perturbation robustness is improved. Furthermore, we introduce a method for randomly transforming image enhancement in the frequency domain, which increases the diversity and robustness of adversarial perturbation by distributing perturbations across edges and textures. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method, considering both human perceptibility and computational cost, achieves a maximum black-box transfer attack success rate of 60.05%, surpassing the 49.65% success rate achieved by the NI-FGSM method across three models. The average success rate of the five methods exceeds an improvement of 6 percentage points in black-box attacks.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects people worldwide. It causes physical and emotional anguish, typically alongside psychiatric illnesses. When conventional methods of treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) fail, patients may go to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for relief. The quality of the evidence is uneven, but complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) shows promise. A systematic review evaluates CAM efficacy, safety, and mechanisms for IBS treatment to identify gaps and guide future research. This systematic review evaluates and synthesises CAM’s efficacy and use in irritable bowel syndrome treatment. This systematic review (1998-2023) included 15 studies from diverse sources, utilizing keywords related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Qualitative data methods extracted insights into Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) interventions for IBS. The evaluation covered main findings, clinical features, outcomes, adverse effects, and follow-up periods. PRISMA-guided data extraction, including a flowchart, ensured a systematic approach. Inclusion criteria comprised various study types, while exclusion criteria targeted inconsistent data and low-quality studies. This study examines numerous controlled, randomised, and multicenter studies on IBS therapies, including Ayurvedic formulations, conventional nutrition, and CAM techniques. Participants, study locations, and interventions vary in the global study. Results from various studies on IBS therapeutic efficacy, risk factors, and patient preferences are shown. Studies on Ayurvedic, homoeopathic, and CAM treatments provide a complete overview of IBS care. The study found that Ayurvedic and CAM treatments for IBS are helpful, but mainstream medications are risky. To improve efficacy, tailored, culturally relevant programmes need research and standardisation.
Harnessing the Vishagna Power of Ojovardhak Aahara in Ayurveda
Authors: Tiwari Mrunal , Inchekar Archana
Published: October 2024

Ahara is responsible for the formation of sapta dhatus and Oja. It plays a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the 'bala' of the body against diseases. Oja is the Bala of the body. Ayurveda advocates for ahara that should be consumed regularly to form sara dhatu. Hence, a samyaka ahara is essential for the proper formation of oja. Toxicities pose hazards similar to vishadravya . An ojovardhak ahara contains properties that counteract the visha gunas. Ayurveda recommends regular consumption of dravya such as cow ghee, cow milk, and green gram. These dravya help to combat toxins into the body,due to their vishagna nature. Ayurveda emphasizes the nature of ahara of being vishgna on one side and toxic on the other hand. Viruddha ahara (incompatible foods) becomes toxic, similar to Garavisha, due to its harmful effects on the body. Sushruta has emphasized the importance of a snigdha ahara and exercise in detoxifying viruddha ahara's effects. Ayurveda recommends ahara which, when consumed regularly, enhances strength and causes no harm to the body.
Genetic improvement of bananas for East Africa
Authors: Akech Violet
Published: October 2024

Banana (Musa spp.) is an important food and income security crop for millions of people in the global tropical and subtropical South. However, its improvement through crossbreeding is challenging because of the limited number of offspring for evaluation, unsynchronized data, and a long, expensive and tedious breeding process that leads to low rates of genetic gains. This thesis aimed to determine how much genetic diversity exists for Musa breeding and explore the potential of accelerating genetic gain through optimization of the Mchare breeding pipeline, considering three approaches; 1) evaluate the crop’s genetic diversity and population structure, 2) use the clonal model to determine the level of genetic variation and its decomposition into additive, dominance and epistasis and 3) integrating genomic information to improve estimates of genetic parameters for key traits in banana trials. The genetic diversity was low, especially among the diploids and tetraploids. Musa accessions with the potential to be used for parental improvement were identified. The Additive variation was significant (p ≤ 0.001) and was the strongest genetic variance for all yield-related traits. Therefore, focusing on parental improvement and selection of the best parents is recommended for genetic gains in Mchare banana populations. The highest positive correlations were observed among the yield-related traits. The correlation between the plant crop and the first ratoon crop for all yield-related traits was significant, positive and of high magnitude (0.62 > r 0.50 for all yield-related traits. The hybrid, H-BLUP (best linear unbiased predictor) model had the highest prediction accuracies for yield-related traits, while the pedigree-based, P-BLUP, model had the highest prediction accuracies for agronomic traits. The implications of this research extend to the identification of available genetic diversity, and enhancement of the accuracy of estimating genetic parameters using marker-based models. The research aids the breeder in the amount of genetic gain that can be anticipated and also paves the way for further genomic exploration in diploid banana breeding programs.
Genomets inverkan på proteinkvalitet hos vete
Authors: Johansson Eva , Vallenback Pernilla
Published: October 2024

Ett stort antal av vetets olika kromosomer hade en inverkan på proteinkvaliteten i vete. Vetemjölets bakningskvalitet och även användandet av vetet i andra sammanhang påverkas i hög grad av sammansättningen på proteinerna hos vetet och deras möjlighet att polymerisera och bilda komplexa nätverk. Sedan tidigare är det välkänt att specifika proteiner som kodas på kromosomerna 1A, 1B, 1D, 6A, 6B och 6D, spelar stor roll för bakningskvaliteten. Här visade sig dock gener på kromosom 3B vara av stor betydelse för polymeriseringen av stora proteinkomplex, och gener på i stort sett alla kromosomer spela en roll för mängden små svårextraherbara proteiner. Med anledning av att inga proteiner som ingår i proteinkomplex kodas på kromosom 3B, skulle det kunna vara möjligt att gener för enzymer, proteiner eller katalysatorer för formering av proteinpolymerisering återfinns på denna kromosom. Detta behöver undersökas vidare, med anledning av vikten av denna egenskap i bakningssammanhang, för materialtillverkning av gluten och även med anledning av den koppling som kan finnas till celiaki. Kopplingen mellan småproteinerna och ett stort antal kromosomer indikerar mångfalden av små enzymatiska proteiner med blandade funktioner i vetekärnan.
Development as Meaning
Authors:   , van Winden Sofia Christina
Published: October 2024

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030, while asserting that it is “we the peoples” who are to realize them. Nine years later, the world is marked by persisting sustainability challenges and increasing global inequality. This is not due to a lack of awareness of such concerns, nor is it due to a shortage of suggested solutions. Thus the question arises as to what it might take to ensure the actions that are required from all of us, individuals and institutions alike; how we can be motivated and inspired to be the change in global aspirations for a more just, equal and sustainable world.

Development as Meaning: A Religious Perspective on Sustainable Development Aspirations explores the potential of a religious perspective, as a source of motivation and inspiration, to broaden our moral concerns while also encouraging us to act on them since such actions are integrated with purpose. To this end, it does not strive to relate features of religion to a sustainable development framework, so as to assess the usefulness of religions to the SDGs, but rather to approach the sustainability quest as in itself religious. It explores how conceptualizations of sustainable development aspirations might alter with a religious perspective applied onto them; the challenges associated with such a perspective and its application; and requirements for its facilitation. It asserts that our proper understanding of the religion-sustainable development nexus, and our full appreciation of a religious potential to enhance sustainability aspirations, presumes our recognition of religion as a potential framework for our understanding of the world. Elaborating on this, it highlights assertions that systemic change presumes our proper understanding of systems, which, in turn, presumes our approaching them from a position beyond them. It also highlights arguments that our value frameworks must be subject to continuous critical scrutiny, so as to prevent them from leading us astray. A religious perspective may enable both. But this will presume our openness to the reality that religion strives to direct us toward, and our preparedness to refer to religion not only as a scientifically approachable phenomenon but also as a potential framework for our knowing. The dissertation consequently links solutions to our sustainability concerns with our attention to religion in a rethinking of the epistemological premises upon which sustainability agendas are founded.

Published: October 2024

O estado de Goiás passa por uma grande instabilidade no fornecimento de energia elétrica, principalmente, devido às faltas na rede de distribuição de energia elétrica e os poucos investimentos nos dispositivos de proteção. A falta de estudos e investimentos na proteção da rede pode levar a apagões de várias regiões sem respeitar a quantidade de carga que não é afetada pelo curto-circuito, ou seja, a seletividade. O estudo da proteção é uma arte, pois busca minimizar a quantidade de carga desligada pela chave (fusível, religador, etc) juntamente com o investimento nestes dispositivos, tendo como base índices de qualidade de energia elétrica. A proposta deste artigo é identificar a melhor disposição dos dispositivos de proteção em uma rede de 134 barras considerando a incerteza das cargas elétricas. Na alocação dos dispositivos de proteção é utilizado o software MatLab para programar o algoritmo genético (AG) que busca otimizar o custo relacionado a energia não suprida (ENS) durante a falta na rede e os custos dos dispositivos de proteção alocados. A solução encontrada é o menor custo de investimento da concessionária de energia elétrica com os menores danos aos consumidores na ocorrência das faltas na rede elétrica de média tensão.
Harnessing SSB tax for health and economic prosperity: A Path to sustainable growth
Authors: Alaika Abdullah Aziz , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: October 2024

This study explores the implementation of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) excise taxes as a policy tool to address public health challenges related to excessive sugar consumption in Indonesia. With rising rates of diabetes and obesity, SSB taxes have been widely adopted globally, yielding positive outcomes such as reduced consumption and increased government revenue. This research synthesizes global evidence through a scoping review and examines how an SSB excise tax could be structured to fit Indonesia’s unique socio-economic context. The findings suggest that a tiered tax based on sugar content would be most effective in curbing consumption while encouraging the beverage industry to innovate healthier alternatives. Revenue generated from the tax, estimated to reach IDR 9.68 trillion annually, could be directed toward public health initiatives, particularly for preventing and managing non-communicable diseases. The study also recommends complementary public health campaigns to raise awareness of the risks associated with sugar consumption. Effective collaboration between the Directorate General of Taxes and the Ministry of Health is crucial for successfully implementing and monitoring the policy. The introduction of SSB excise taxes in Indonesia represents a strategic opportunity to enhance public health, generate substantial government revenue, and support long-term sustainable development.

Authors: Anwar Bariani , Faisal Edward , Irvianita Vinandia , Putranto Rudi , Shatri Hamzah
Published: October 2024

Sindrom kelelahan kronis yang juga dikenal sebagai Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), adalah kondisi kronis kompleks yang ditandai oleh kelelahan parah, disertai nyeri muskuloskeletal, gangguan kognitif, dan sistem autonom. Patofisiologi CFS melibatkan inflamasi kronis, disfungsi mitokondria, dan ketidakseimbangan sistem kekebalan, yang ditunjukkan dengan tingginya kadar sitokin pro-inflamasi. Aktivitas sitokin ini berperan dalam munculnya gejala utama seperti kelelahan, nyeri, dan penurunan kognitif. Diagnosis CFS merupakan proses yang kompleks karena didasarkan pada metode eksklusi dan belum adanya biomarker definitif sehingga menyebabkan banyak pasien tidak terdiagnosis. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) telah diajukan sebagai metode non-invasif untuk menilai disfungsi autonom pada CFS, di mana HRV rendah menunjukkan peningkatan risiko kelelahan dan disfungsi parasimpatis. Penggunaan HRV dan sitokin sebagai biomarker potensial menawarkan pendekatan yang lebih terukur dalam mendiagnosis CFS serta memprediksi prognosis. Namun, heterogenitas dalam hasil penelitian terkait peran sitokin menekankan pentingnya konsistensi metodologis di masa mendatang. Studi lanjutan tentang HRV dan inflamasi pada CFS diharapkan dapat berkontribusi pada strategi terapi yang lebih spesifik.

Relative Efficiency of Monetary Policy Across Countries
Authors: Pacheco Rafael , Divino Jose Angelo
Published: October 2024

We analyze the relative efficiency of monetary policy between developed and developing countries by calculating efficiency scores through nonparametric methods and estimating DEA bootstrap efficiency frontiers oriented to both single and multiple outputs, represented by inflation and unemployment. We use a heterogeneous sample of countries from the pre-COVID-19 period because the pandemic severely impacted monetary policy. For developing countries, the combination of an independent central bank with the adoption of an inflation-targeting regime is associated with greater monetary policy efficiency. The 2008 financial crisis reduced efficiency, while corruption control and financial stability improved policy performance. Monetary policy is more efficient in developed countries than in developing countries, regardless of the control variables and model specifications.
Some Improvements of the Bootstrap over the Delta Method Probability Errors for Whittle Estimators
Authors: Aga Mosisa
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this paper is to compare the coverage probability errors of the parametric bootstrap with that of the delta method for the covariance parameters of a regression model with auto-regressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) errors. We consider the coverage probability errors of both confidence intervals (CIs) and tests based on the the plug-in Whittle maximum likelihood (PWML) estimators. We first show that, under some sets of conditions on the regression coefficients, the spectral density function, and the parameter values, the bounds on the coverage probability errors of the two-sided delta method and parametric bootstrap confidence intervals on the plug-in Whittle likelihood estimator or the covariance parameter are shown to be $O(n^{-1})$ and $o(n^{-3/2}\ln{n})$, respectively, where n is the sample size. Next, we show that those of the one-sided parametric bootstrap confidence intervals are shown to be $O(n^{-1/2})$ and $o(n^{-1}\ln{n})$, respectively. These results show that for both one-sided and two-sided confidence intervals and tests, the bootstrap provides a significant improvement over that of the delta method.

The development of new crop varieties with favorable features is a continuing effort. With the passage of time, a cultivated variety becomes subjected to various biotic and abiotic plant stresses. This article describes development of an innovative and imaginative long melon cultivar called "Punjab Tar-1."This article discusses creation of a novel and inventive long melon variety known as "Punjab Tar-1." Current long melon varieties in Pakistan are sensitive to climatic conditions and susceptible to pest and disease attack. A New Short Duration, High Yielding and Disease Resistance Long Melon Variety (Cucumis melo) is released in Pakistan to address these current issues of long melon varieties A high yielding and early maturing variety of long melon “Punjab Tar-1” has been developed by Vegetable Research Institute, Faisalabad, Pakistan through mass selection. Plants were selected from an open pollinated indigenous source population with main emphasis on earliness, fruit shape, color and taste and yield. Selection intensity was 15% in 1st three selection cycles and 30% in subsequent four selection cycles whereas yield trials were started from 8th selection cycle. The fruit of this variety has a strong longitudinal rib that makes it difficult for eating by caterpillars. This variety has wide adaptability and exhibits stable yield across multiple environments. Notably, "Punjab Tar-1" contains 10.59 % crude protein and 1.08% crude fat content. Genetic uniformity and distinctiveness of this variety was confirmed through SSR polymorphism. Punjab Tar-1 variety has been approved by Punjab Seed Council in its meeting held on 2021 and was recommended for general cultivation in Punjab, Pakistan. Its certified seed is available for farmers at Vegetable Research Institute, Faisalabad. This newly approved variety will aid to save the precious foreign reserves by reducing vegetable seed import bill. In Pakistan, seed market of long melon is occupied by improved varieties. In multi-location evaluation, one said variety has exhibited high yield and stability than exotic germplasm. This is the first variety developed in Pakistan having good taste, early maturity, long shape, and high yield potential. DNA fingerprinting has further confirmed that it is distinct from local material, having novelty and diversity.

Authors: Do Minh Hien  , Quach Duc Tin
Published: October 2024

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the mechanism of triggering slope failures during extreme rainfall events under the climatic and geological conditions of Ha Giang city, Viet Nam. For this purpose, the specific research objectives of this paper were based on the analytic results of the geotechnical properties of the soil samples. The pore water pressure distribution on a slope was changed by the influence of rainfall. In order to analyze the stability of the cut slopes, the two modules SEEP/W and SLOPE/W in the GEOSTUDIO 2012 software were employed and integrated. First, the initial steady seepage condition was used to assess the effect of extreme rainfall for a transient seepage. Second, the soil sample properties and some features were assigned in the slope stability model, such as unit weight, cohesion, internal friction angle, and hydraulic functions, and then the achieved transient pore water pressure regime was used as the input parameter to calculate the factor of safety (FS) on cut slopes. Finally, the relationship between the changing of the FS over time and the hourly rainfall intensity that resulted in slope failure were evaluated. In summary, the slopes in Ha Giang city can be stable under normal conditions, but their stability is always a dilemma for local authorities due to the influence of intense rainfall.

A decisão de constitucionalidade da ADI 2111: uma análise de suas implicações na revisão da vida toda’ disposta no RE 1276977
Authors: Silva Renata Vieira , Ferreira Sara Brigida Farias
Published: October 2024

O artigo discute a tese da Revisão da Vida Toda no sistema previdenciário brasileiro, proposta que busca incluir todas as contribuições realizadas ao longo da vida do segurado no cálculo da aposentadoria, incluindo as anteriores a julho de 1994, excluídas pela Lei nº 9.876/99. Essa exclusão prejudicou trabalhadores que tinham salários mais altos antes dessa data. O Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), no julgamento do Tema 1102, reconheceu o direito à revisão, mas a decisão gerou debates sobre os custos para o sistema previdenciário, com estimativas variando de R$ 18,1 bilhões a R$ 360 bilhões. O objetivo do estudo é analisar os impactos jurídicos, sociais e econômicos dessa decisão, focando nos segurados e no INSS. A metodologia inclui análise de decisões judiciais, documentos legais e estudos econômicos. O artigo conclui que, embora a revisão seja justa para muitos segurados, há a necessidade de um equilíbrio entre a proteção de direitos e a sustentabilidade financeira da Previdência Social. A aplicação da Revisão da Vida Toda deve ser feita com cautela, considerando os impactos econômicos e as especificidades de cada caso.
A política e a psicanálise: reflexões sobre a introdução da psicanálise ao Brasil
Authors: Santos Jonatas Tiburtino dos , Donard Véronique
Published: October 2024

A proclamação da república brasileira marcou uma série de intervenções governamentais visando à ultrapassagem dos resquícios do atraso e do consequente constrangimento por ser a última nação a abolir a escravatura e a abandonar o regime monárquico na América Latina. Tais intervenções se constituíram através de estratégias empreendidas como efeito de uma nova postura política, na qual se deixou de governar o país como uma contingência ocasional para se perseguir um projeto de nação e de povo. Nessa concepção de política, a saúde, o poder disciplinar e a pedagogia foram as frentes de atuação em favor das quais a psicanálise foi convocada por parte da classe médica psiquiátrica como instrumento teórico e técnico cientificamente legitimado. Mas, haveria na obra freudiana uma noção de política, e, em caso de resposta afirmativa, teria ela compatibilidade com a política na qual tal projeto se sustentou? O presente estudo é o resultado de um percurso na obra freudiana com o interesse de articular e problematizar tais questões.
Las “putas infames”: narrativas de conflictos y romances de mujeres de luz roja en Belém-Pará-Brasil (1880-1900)
Authors: Pinto Keyth Lorrany da Silva , Silva Tiago Luís Coelho Vaz
Published: October 2024

Esta investigación aborda narrativas que involucran a prostitutas que vivieron en Belém entre las décadas de 1880 y 1900, experimentando las transformaciones de la ciudad en medio de la Belle Époque local y los primeros años de la República brasileña. El estudio analiza las normas jurídicas y políticas relacionadas con la prostitución, además de examinar los estigmas, percepciones y reacciones de la prensa y de la sociedad de Belém en relación a las mujeres que ejercían esta profesión. La recolección de datos priorizó fuentes primarias a través de la selección de noticias sobre el tema, publicadas por la prensa de Pará en el período definido por el estudio, en periódicos como Folha do Norte, Diário de Notícias, O Democrat y A República. El foco de la investigación está en los impactos de las normas y políticas de control sobre la prostitución en las experiencias de las prostitutas, explorando los conflictos, los romances y sus relaciones sociales y románticas frente a las adversidades presentes a finales del siglo XIX. Los estigmas y valores morales alejaron aún más a las prostitutas de la aceptación social y los cuidados brindados por el aparato jurídico del poder de la época, lo que se reflejaba directamente en sus condiciones de vida y salud, ya que la práctica las exponía diariamente a situaciones de riesgo, violencia física y/o psicológica y falta de respeto. Motivadas por esto, muchas mujeres asumieron comportamientos más ofensivos y combativos en relación con situaciones conflictivas cotidianas, lo que a los ojos de la sociedad y del Estado era inconcebible para una mujer considerada digna y honesta.
Necropolítica no extremo norte da Amazônia brasileira: o genocídio Yanomami sob Bolsonaro (2019-2022)
Authors: Alves Fernando Roberto Jayme
Published: October 2024

O objetivo do presente artigo é discutir e problematizar o fenômeno do genocídio Yanomami, haja vista que existe no Brasil uma narrativa que questiona a existência de tal evento. O governo Bolsonaro (2019-2022) impôs uma agenda autoritária que, por meio de ações, omissões e discursos, criou mecanismos que viabilizaram uma grande invasão garimpeira na Terra Indígena (TI) Yanomami. As estratégias territoriais da estrutura do garimpo ilegal de ouro revelam o envolvimento de diversos atores públicos e privados que constituem uma complexa rede criminosa que atua no saque do ouro Yanomami. Para a construção do trabalho foram realizados: levantamento de dados espacializados; monitoramento sistemático de notícias sobre o tema na imprensa; uso de fotografias e mapas do garimpo ilegal na TI Yanomami; e, por fim, a investigação de fontes escritas para a análise qualitativa. A questão que nos parece evidente é que o cenário de guerra instalado durante o governo Bolsonaro no território ancestral é fruto de um projeto necropolítico que colocou em prática um genocídio indígena em plena Amazônia brasileira. A invasão dos garimpeiros implica em um violento processo de territorialização do garimpo que destrói a terra, contamina as águas e inviabiliza o modo de vida ancestral do povo Yanomami, submetendo-os a condições de existência que podem levar ao extermínio total ou parcial da população.

Byrsonima cydoniifolia (nance), a forest species from the Malpighiaceae family, is widely distributed across Brazil, predominantly in the North, Northeast, and Central-West regions. This study aimed to analyze pollen morphology, viability, and the meiotic index in different native populations of nance in the eastern region of Mato Grosso state. For each population, five individuals were selected, and floral buds were collected during various developmental stages. The morphological characterization of pollen grains was conducted using the acetolysis protocol, followed by photography, measurement, and classification based on size, shape, ornamentation, and polar area index. The meiotic index was determined by counting post-meiotic products. Pollen grains were found to be spheroidal, small, 3-colporate, with a colpus, identified as tricolporate grains with a large polar area. The exine in the polar area was microreticulate. The meiotic index varied among populations and individuals, exceeding 95%. Pollen viability tests effectively distinguished between viable and non-viable pollen, with viability rates over 90%. The pollen grains contained starch and lipids as reserve substances. The species demonstrated high stability and meiotic regularity. The findings from this study contribute to our understanding of the ecology, conservation, dispersal, and propagation potential of nance, which supports the reproductive success of the species.
