<b>Alternative Economies for the Anthropocene: Change, Happiness and Future Scenarios</b> // Economías alternativas para el Antropoceno: Cambio, felicidad y escenarios futuros
Authors: Beilin Katarzyna Olga 
Published: April 2020

This article analyzes the cultures of the alternative economies that have emerged in Spain after the 2008 crisis, but also as an answer to the ecological crisis and the global warming. After drafting a conceptual map of alternative economies, the essay focuses on their local environmental projects that are considered as nodes of complex systems. These systems involve networks of human and non-human realms, such as the money economy, the metaphors that render the relations between human and non-human life, and the modes of existence of non-human life that inspire the alternative biopolitics. The final section problematizes the environmental perspective by considerations of individual fulfillment and happiness. In conclusion, the alternative economies are reconsidered in light of the future scenarios where their impact as well as individuals’ well-being may vary significantly. Resumen Este artículo analiza las alternativas económicas y culturales que han surgido en España como resultado de la crisis de 2008, pero también como respuesta a la crisis ambiental y el calentamiento global. Tras trazar un mapa de las economías alternativas, el ensayo se enfoca en una serie de proyectos ambientales considerándolos como ejemplos de una “biopolítica alternativa”. Estos proyectos incluyen redes de ámbito humano y no-humano, como, por ejemplo, otras especies, cultivos, la economía del dinero, las metáforas que expresan las relaciones entre la vida humana y no humana, así como también construcciones alternativas del sentido de la vida. La sección final problematiza la perspectiva ecológica, considerando las posibilidades de la satisfacción y felicidad individual. En conclusión, las economías alternativas se reconsideran a la luz de escenarios futuros, según los cuales su impacto en el bienestar individual puede variar de modo importante. Conectando los marcos de los estudios culturales y ambientales, y yuxtaponiendo un acercamiento sistémico de la ecología y las narrativas individuales de la felicidad y frustración, este artículo ofrece un análisis innovador de las economías alternativas como culturas ambientales con un enorme impacto en el futuro planetario.
<b>Bolivarian Landslides? Ecological Disasters, Political Upheavals and (Trans)National Futures in Contemporary Venezuelan Culture</b> // ¿Derrumbes bolivarianos? Desastres ecológicos, sublevaciones políticas y futuros (trans)nacionales en la cultual venezolana actual
Authors: Jarman Rebecca 
Published: April 2020

In December 1999, the so-called “Vargas Tragedy” destroyed the Venezuelan coast after days of torrential rain caused over fifty landslides in the greater metropolitan area of Caracas. The disaster coincided with a referendum to redraft the Venezuelan constitution during the first year of Bolivarian Socialism, and was conceived of as a punctual political event that marked the beginning of a new historical period for Venezuela. This understanding of the landslides has been contested by authors and filmmakers who negotiate ecological crises as complex multitemporal, transnational processes. Focusing on the use of child protagonists in Una tarde con campanas (2004), a novel by Juan Carlos Méndez Guédez, and El chico que miente (2011), a film directed by Marité Ugás, this article analyses the creative strategies employed in contemporary Venezuelan culture that foreground alternative responses to the landslides. On the one hand, I argue that adolescence is used in these texts as a figurative device that rebels against the politicisation of the disaster and thus, by extension, undermines the state’s elision of a post-catastrophic and post-capitalist future. On the other, I argue that childhood is mediated as a heterogeneous site that defies facile reification, much like the disaster, and invites a reconsideration of the ways in which we conceptualise the relationship between the human and the non-human. Resumen En diciembre de 1999, la llamada “tragedia de Vargas” destruyó la costa venezolana después de días de lluvias torrenciales que causaron más de cincuenta derrumbes en las afueras de Caracas. El desastre coincidió con un referéndum para reformar la constitución venezolana durante el primer año del mandato de Hugo Chávez y, por lo tanto, se consideró un evento histórico que rompió con la “cuarta república” y marcó una nueva era para el país bolivariano. En el ámbito cultural, esta visión del desastre ha sido rechazada por varios autores y directores venezolanos, quienes señalan al desastre como un proceso no cronológico cuyos efectos e impactos transcienden las fronteras nacionales. Este artículo analiza el trama pos-catastrófico protagonizado por niños en Una tarde con campanas (2004), una novela de Juan Carlos Méndez Guédez, y El chico que miente (2011), una película de Marité Ugás. Por un lado, argumento que estos textos recurren a la infancia como un mecanismo narrativo que confronta la politización de la supervivencia y, por extensión, desautoriza las visiones de un futuro pos-capitalista/pos-catastrófico. Por otro lado, sugiero que la infancia se ve como un sitio heterogéneo que niega la codificación y el dualismo sociedad/naturaleza, exigiendo así una reconsideración de las relaciones entre lo humano y lo no-humano.
Perceptuomotor compatibility effects in vowels: Beyond phonemic identity
Authors: Ghaffarvand Mokari Payam , Gafos Adamantios , Williams Daniel 
Published: April 2020

AbstractPerceptuomotor compatibility between phonemically identical spoken and perceived syllables has been found to speed up response times (RTs) in speech production tasks. However, research on compatibility effects between perceived and produced stimuli at the subphonemic level is limited. Using a cue–distractor task, we investigated the effects of phonemic and subphonemic congruency in pairs of vowels. On each trial, a visual cue prompted individuals to produce a response vowel, and after the visual cue appeared a distractor vowel was auditorily presented while speakers were planning to produce the response vowel. The results revealed effects on RTs due to phonemic congruency (same vs. different vowels) between the response and distractor vowels, which resemble effects previously seen for consonants. Beyond phonemic congruency, we assessed how RTs are modulated as a function of the degree of subphonemic similarity between the response and distractor vowels. Higher similarity between the response and distractor in terms of phonological distance—defined by number of mismatching phonological features—resulted in faster RTs. However, the exact patterns of RTs varied across response–distractor vowel pairs. We discuss how different assumptions about phonological feature representations may account for the different patterns observed in RTs across response–distractor pairs. Our findings on the effects of perceived stimuli on produced speech at a more detailed level of representation than phonemic identity necessitate a more direct and specific formulation of the perception–production link. Additionally, these results extend previously reported perceptuomotor interactions mainly involving consonants to vowels.

Authors: Leivas José Carlos Pinto 
Published: April 2020

Neste artigo apresenta-se uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho teórico, cujo objetivo foi analisar o olhar do geômetra formador ao realizar uma viagem, observar determinados fatos, objetos, cenários, etc. e associá-los a conteúdos matemáticos. A partir dessas observações e dos registros coletados, buscou-se visualizar em que medida conteúdos específicos de Geometria podem ser conectados a outros de Matemática. Foram realizadas quatro incursões: a primeira conectou as cúspides do Cálculo com a fachada de um edifício; a segunda visualizou uma cobertura atípica de uma casa em forma cônica; a terceira evocou Gauss e sua curvatura gaussiana na visualização das linhas decorrentes do degelo do Monte Aconcágua e, finalmente, a quarta comparou a parábola e a catenária em um pórtico de acesso a uma cidade. As conexões estabelecidas fornecem indicativos de possibilidades didáticas de uso de Geometria para formação de professores de Matemática e são amparadas teoricamente.

Exploring Bistability in the Cycles of the Solar Dynamo through Global Simulations
Authors: Matilsky Loren I. , Toomre Juri 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The calling card of solar magnetism is the sunspot cycle, during which sunspots regularly reverse their polarity sense every 11 yr. However, a number of more complicated time-dependent behaviors have also been identified. In particular, there are temporal modulations associated with active longitudes and hemispheric asymmetry, when sunspots appear at certain solar longitudes or else in one hemisphere preferentially. So far, a direct link between this asymmetric temporal behavior and the underlying solar dynamo has remained elusive. In this work, we present results from global 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations, which display both behavior reminiscent of the sunspot cycle (regular polarity reversals and equatorward migration of internal magnetic field) and asymmetric, irregular behavior which we interpret as active longitudes and hemispheric asymmetry in the simulations. The simulations are thus bistable, in that the turbulent convection can stably support two distinct flavors of magnetism at different times, in superposition or with smooth transitions from one state to the other. We discuss this new family of dynamo models in the context of the extensive observations of the Sun’s surface magnetic field with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory and the Solar Dynamics Observatory, as well as earlier observations of sunspot number and synoptic maps. We suggest that the solar dynamo itself may be bistable in nature, exhibiting two types of temporal behavior in the magnetic field.

Species data from the Museum collections have been shown to be of great value as a tool for prioritising conservation actions in Africa (Fjeldsa and Tushabe 2005). The National Museums of Kenya (NMK) have an entomology collection, housed in 4,000 drawers in cabinets that contain over 1.5 million specimens, including the largest butterfly collection in Africa (Arnett et al. 1997). Lampe and Striebing (2005) demonstrated how to digitise large insect collections in order to make their associated label data into databases that can be used for functions, such as creating distribution maps. The NMK’s swallowtail butterflies' collection had not been digitised and thus there was a need to capture the label data to create a database that can be used for mapping the distribution of the species in Kenya and elsewhere. These data have addressed one of the most significant challenges to insect conservation i.e. the lack of baseline information concerning species diversity and distribution (Summerville and Crist 2003). These data have provided key historic papilionid species diversity and distribution data that can be used to monitor their populations, as butterflies are declining due to changes in land use, intensive agriculture and pestcide use, diseases and pest and climate change (Potts et al. 2016; Bongaarts 2019). The publication of the occurrence data records in GBIF has been undertaken, thus making the data available to a wider audience and promoting availability for use.
The swallowtail butterflies collection at the National Museums of Kenya was digitised from 2017–2019 and this paper presents details of the Papilionid collection at the Zoology Department, NMK, Nairobi, Kenya.
The collection holds 7,345 voucher specimens, consisting of three genera and 133 species. The collection covers the period between 1850 to 2019.
The distribution of the swallowtail butterflies, housed at the NMK, covers East Africa with 88%, Central Africa (6%), Western Africa (4%) and Southern Africa (2%).

Abstract
The lung surfactant proteins are recognized as critical not only for their role in lowering lung surface tension but also in innate host defense. Reports have shown that some asthmatic patients have decreased levels of one member of this protein family in particular, surfactant protein-A (SP-A). Our studies set out to determine the contribution of SP-A to the response of a key effector cytokine in asthma, IL-13. Our studies employ both animal models sufficient and deficient in SP-A challenged with IL-13 and primary epithelial cells from participants with asthma that are exogenously treated with SP-A in the context of IL-13 challenge. The inflammatory response and mucin production were assessed in both model systems. As compared with WT mice, we show that the activity of IL-13 is dramatically augmented in SP-A−/− mice, which have significantly increased neutrophil and eosinophil recruitment, mucin production and asthma-associated cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In parallel, we show asthma-associated factors are attenuated in human cells from asthma subjects when exogenous SP-A is added during IL-13 challenge. Although many of these phenotypes have previously been associated with STAT6 signaling, SP-A inhibited IL-13-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in mice and in human epithelial cells while having little effect on STAT6 phosphorylation. In addition, when either STAT3 or IL-6 were inhibited in mice, the phenotypes observed in SP-A−/− mice were significantly attenuated. These studies suggest a novel mechanism for SP-A in asthma as a modulator of IL-13-induced inflammation via mediating downstream IL-6/STAT3 signaling.

Published: April 2020

A procura por bens luxuosos tem sido cada vez mais crescente. Seu mercado encontra-se em ascensão, atraindo a atenção
de empresas e pesquisadores para o materialismo, como também para o problema da falsificação desses produtos. O
objetivo desse trabalho é investigar a relação entre o materialismo e o consumo de produtos falsificados em consumidores
de cidades do estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Sendo a pesquisa de natureza descritiva e explicativa, com abordagem
quantitativa, utilizou-se neste estudo o questionário de materialismo propostos por Richins e Dawson (1992), e o de compra
de produtos falsificados, elaborado por Wilcox et al. (2009) e validado por Queiroz (2014), os quais foram aplicados a 615
consumidores. A pesquisa mostrou que houve correlação entre o materialismo e o consumo de produtos de luxo falsificados,
como também revelou que as mulheres apresentaram maiortendência materialista do que os homens, assim como os
indivíduos que possuem nível superior, os consumidores pertencentes às classes C e D e as pessoas solteiras foram as
categorias mais representativas no que tange ao materialismo. Em relação ao consumo de produtos falsificados, o gênero
feminino, os indivíduos solteiros, as pessoas com nível superior e aqueles que recebem entre três e seis salários mínimos
foram os que mais apresentaram tendências a esse tipo de consumo. O artigo traz contribuições à teoria e pode auxiliar
as organizações a adotarem estratégias para alcançar diferentes segmentos de mercado para o consumo de bens de luxo,
como também a prevenirem a falsificação de seus produtos, evitando perdas financeiras e outras consequências.
