A Ecologia como parâmetro da Geopolítica -- O legado de Bertha Becker no Campo dos Estudos Ambientais na Amazônia
Authors: Alves Diógenes S. 
Published: October 2019

Traçamos reflexões sobre o legado de Bertha Becker em nossas parcerias noInstituto de Pesquisas Espaciais na institucionalização de programas sobre a Amazônia. O envolvimento de nosso Instituto se iniciava com questões das ciências naturais ou técnicas, mas frequentemente condicionado por questões políticas e programáticas amplas. Bertha com suas ideias que nos deu referências para pensar nossos programas além de domínios de organização mais estritamente técnicos ao levantar questões sobre diferentes opções para introduzir o elemento humano em nosso campo de pesquisas. Ela colocaria em relevo a natureza política da temática das dimensões humanas das mudanças globais, em uma perspectiva que, até hoje, permanece original em nosso campo; ela permitiria dar maior relevância às condições políticas e sociais na própria Amazônia.
Os Brasileiros que Retornam de Portugal: atividades Laborais Antes, Durante e Depois da Emigração
Authors: Silva Romerito Valeriano da , Fernandes Duval Magalhães 
Published: October 2019

A emigração internacional de brasileiros tem ocupado a agenda de diversos pesquisadores de diferentes áreas da ciência. As transformações na economia global que ocorreram nos últimos dez anos lançaram luz sobre a contracorrente desse movimento, o retorno de muitos brasileiros que haviam ido tentar a sorte no exterior. Nesse contexto, o retorno de brasileiros que viviam em Portugal ganha destaque, tanto por este país ter sido um dos principais destinos dos emigrantes brasileiros quanto por ter se transformado em uma das principais vítimas europeias da crise internacional. Logo, neste artigo, procura-se entender um pouco mais a situação laboral antes, durante e após a emigração de um grupo de brasileiros que retornaram de Portugal entre os anos de 2005 e 2013. Para atingir esse objetivo foram realizadas 703 entrevistas estruturadas em 54 municípios brasileiros de 4 estados diferentes, entre janeiro de 2012 e janeiro de 2013. As características dessas atividades laborais e sua comparação com as atividades exercidas no exterior dizem muito a respeito da reintegração dos retornados e do capital humano agregado durante a emigração. Os resultados podem indicar a probabilidade de reemigração e os caminhos possíveis para políticas públicas que tenham como alvo os brasileiros que retornam.
Lapa: da Sociabilidade na Cidade para a Sociabilidade da Cidade
Authors: Souza Andre Felix de 
Published: October 2019

Desde meados da década de 1990, a área que abrange o atual bairro da Lapa tem se configurado como uma área de forte atratividade para o lazer noturno na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Nos fins de semana, à noite, milhares de pessoas, provenientes dos mais variados pontos da cidade, do estado, do país e do mundo se reúnem nesta pequena porção da zona periférica do centro da cidade, produzindo um grande espetáculo da vida pública. Suas ruas, praças, bares, boates, casas de show e depósitos de bebidas se transformaram em um dos mais disputados pontos de encontro noturno desta cidade ou, por outras palavras, conforme sugere o vocabulário geográfico, um lugar central para a sociabilidade noturna.
27 Anos de Novos Recursos Participativos na Democracia Brasileira (1988-2015): um Panorama a Partir dos Conselhos Municipais
Authors: Azevedo Daniel A. de 
Published: October 2019

O artigo aborda a difusão e a configuração dos conselhos municipais no Brasil e mais especificamente no Rio de Janeiro. A partir da redemocratização brasileira e da inclusão de novos recursos participativos (NRP) na Constituição de 1988, além de ser palco de uma inédita valorização da escala local, o Brasil, para alguns, passou a ser considerado um caso paradigmático para a teoria da democracia participativa. Após 27 anos dessas inovações democráticas, este artigo traça um panorama da difusão e da configuração dos Conselhos Municipais. A partir dos dados censitários da Pesquisa de Informações Básicas Municipais (Munic) 2009 e de trabalhos de campo em Conselhos Municipais no Rio de Janeiro realizados nos anos de 2013 e 2014, o artigo mostra que, longe de ser um país onde os novos recursos participativos estão bem consolidados, o Brasil carece de expansão e melhor qualificação desses instrumentos para o aprofundamento da democracia.
Rio de Janeiro, a Cidade dos Múltiplos Mirantes
Authors: Gomes Paulo Cesar Da Costa 
Published: October 2019

Este artigo procura analisar o papel e a importância do jogo visual que se estabelece pela fixação de pontos de vista na produção de imagens que identificam uma cidade. A organização e a situação dos mirantes urbanos é assim uma chave de interpretação fundamental uma vez que a partir de escolhas de pontos de vista estabilizam-se imagens que participam de um discurso visual que se associa às cidades. O Rio de Janeiro é um caso emblemático disso pois conta, pela singularidade do seu sítio, com um grande número de mirantes que evocam, combinam e enquadram diferentes elementos da paisagem em variados arranjos. Esses arranjos compõem assim uma narrativa, um verdadeiro discurso iconográfico sobre a cidade.
Interceptação da Precipitação no Manguezal no Litoral Sudeste do Brasil
Authors: Galvani Emerson , Lima Nádia Gilma Beserra de 
Published: October 2019

Os manguezais estão entre os ecossistemas biologicamente mais produtivos e importantes do mundo, fornecendo bens e serviços exclusivos para as sociedades e os sistemas costeiros. Essas áreas, no entanto, são cada vez mais fragmentadas, contribuindo para a perda de seus serviços e benefícios. As chuvas exercem uma influência importante neste ecossistema, sendo fundamental para a dissolução dos sais marinhos. Este trabalho investigou o total precipitado no manguezal localizado no Sistema Costeiro de Cananeia-Iguape (SP), em diferentes escalas temporais (diária, mensal, sazonal e anual), bem como sua interceptação pelo dossel do manguezal. Constatou-se uma interceptação de 8,8 %, oscilando entre 13% e 4% na escala anual, evidenciando que a variação anual da precipitação, que reflete tanto em sua quantidade quanto em sua intensidade contribui para a porcentagem dessa interceptação pelo dossel. Verificou-se ainda que, conforme a intensidade da precipitação aumenta, a interceptação pelo dossel do manguezal reduz.

É a ordenação do paraíso que faz do Rio de Janeiro a cidade maravilhosa e se torna sua marca até os dias de hoje.
L’effondrement vu d’en bas et la science-fiction d’Octavia Butler
Authors: Steward Ketty 
Published: October 2019

« Nous sommes tous sur le même bateau », s’écrient les collapsologues, comme s’il s’agissait d’un scoop. Seulement, ces catastrophes annoncées, ou déjà bien amorcées, sont principalement causées par l’Occident et son système économique destructeur. Il s’agit ici de s’interroger sur l’effondrement en adoptant une perspective inversée et d’exposer la démarche de l’autrice de science-fiction Octavia Butler et des continuatrices de son œuvre, qui excellent à rendre possible des histoires alternatives. L’effondrement peut être l’occasion rêvée de changer d’angle et d’échelle et de revenir à l’essentiel.
La « civilisation écologique » contrôlée par le numérique en Chine
Authors: René Élodie 
Published: October 2019

Le concept de « civilisation écologique » a initialement été développé par des intellectuels chinois, à la fin des années 1980, comme une critique de la modernité industrielle et du système capitaliste face à la catastrophe écologique planétaire en cours. À partir du milieu des années 2000, et suite à l’accentuation des contestations environnementales dans les grandes villes du pays, le Parti Communiste Chinois (PCC) a décidé de faire de cette notion un de ses slogans politiques phares, mais au prix de vider ce concept de sa dimension critique pour l’instrumentaliser au service de la propagande d’État, de la croissance verte et du contrôle numérique des écosystèmes. La Chine serait-elle en train d’inventer de nouvelles normes de gouvernance ?
De la pluralité des fins du monde : les voies de la science-fiction
Authors: Kyrou Ariel , Rumpala Yannick 
Published: October 2019

Des effondrements, la science-fiction en recèle de nombreuses formes et pour une large variété de mondes. Considérer ces immenses productions de romans et de nouvelles, de films, de séries télévisées ou de jeux vidéo comme une simple manifestation d’anxiété ou de désespoir face à notre avenir serait très réducteur. Elles nous familiarisent avec l’éventualité du pire, dans la tradition des « dystopies » ou utopies négatives, mais elles nous permettent surtout d’accorder une visibilité aux conditions d’organisation de collectifs, aux dilemmes moraux pouvant résulter de certaines situations d’effondrement. Le genre SF propose des prototypes et prototopes du futur – de l’ordre de l’exercice de pensée, du dispositif expérimental nous plongeant, via des personnages, décors et situations inventées, dans les si humaines complexités de mondes potentiels de notre « à venir ».
Faut-il « avertir de la fin des temps pour exiger la fin des touillettes » ?
Authors: Bidet Alexandra 
Published: October 2019

À partir d’une incursion sur les forums électroniques d’« effondrés », cet article se penche sur ce que l’idée d’effondrement fait à celle et ceux qui y adhèrent. En décalage avec des questionnements sous l’angle des risques de démobilisation ou de dépolitisation, on voit que cette idée, en stimulant l’exploration en commun des relations concrètes et situées, peut favoriser une radicalisation du rapport au réel. Au contraire d’une fabrique de l’ignorance et du désemparement, les groupes Facebook des « effondrés » apparaissent comme des espaces d’exploration partagée, où les prises et les pistes le disputent sans cesse au désarroi. On peut alors voir, dans la fortune du terme effondrement , l’indice d’une multiplication des enquêtes lancées pour retrouver une terre où atterrir en expérimentant de nouveaux détachements-attachements.

Published: October 2019

Gauz revient dans cet entretien sur son dernier roman, Camarade Papa , lequel a reçu le Grand Prix Littéraire d’Afrique Noire en 2018. Il nous ouvre des chemins pour mieux le lire. Celui de raconter une histoire de l’Histoire, à hauteur d’hommes, adultes ou enfants, pleine de beauté, d’idéaux et de liberté. Celui de sortir de la couleur pour retrouver la capacité de ravissement et défendre les façons de parler comme cultures et armes politiques. Celui de nommer la beauté de l’espoir des migrants, qui sont des « super espérants ».

L’âge de l’anthropocène, un kaïros pour la théologie de la création ?
Authors: Rognon Frédéric 
Published: October 2019

La notion d’« anthropocène » s’est imposée pour rendre compte de la situation inédite dans laquelle se trouve l’humanité. L’impact des activités humaines sur la détérioration des conditions de vie, et peut-être même de survie, sur la planète, nous invite à relire à nouveaux frais les textes bibliques de Création et de Recréation. Une éthique théologique nouvelle se dessine, qui conjugue lucidité, non-puissance et espérance en Christ.
Efficacy and Safety of FOLFOX as a Second-Line Chemotherapy for Patients with Locally Advanced and/or Metastatic Carcinoma Gall Bladder – Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in India
Authors: Dang Ketan , Gupta Deni , Sehrawat Amit , Gupta Satyanker , Parthasarathy KM 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Carcinoma gallbladder is mostly diagnosed in locally advanced, inoperable, or metastatic stage. Best supportive care with or without palliative chemotherapy is the only feasible treatment option. Gemcitabine and platinum agents' combination is the most effective first option with no well-established second-line regimen. Objectives: We planned to study the response rate, safety, the progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) on the second-line FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy. Methods: This is a prospective single-arm observational study of 29 eligible patients. Patients were studies for response to the second-line FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans were done for response assessment; chemotherapy toxicity was graded using National Cancer Institute clinical toxicity criteria; and survival rates (PFS and OS) were studied. Results: Among the 39 patients with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy (CT-1), the median PFS-1 was 6.5 months. Twenty-nine patients received second-line chemotherapy (CT-2). Responses observed complete response in 2/29, partial response in 7/29, stable disease in 1/29 patients, and progressive disease in 19/29. The overall response rate was 9/29 (31.0%). Grades 2–4 toxicities were anemia (17.95%), thrombocytopenia (12.82%), neutropenia (12.82%), and peripheral neuropathy (7.69%). The median OS was 9.13 months. Late PFS-1 (>median PFS-1) patients had significantly lower mortality as compared to early PFS-1, odds ratio of 0.251 (P = 0.002), and median PFS-2 was 2.53 months. Conclusion: After the failure of gemcitabine and platinum-based chemotherapy, FOLFOX-4 is modestly effective, fairly well tolerated and this needs to be proven in a larger randomized phase 3 study. Further research into the pathogenesis of biliary tract cancer with the aim to identify new targets for treatments is required.
Neurocognitive and Neuroanatomical Changes in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated with the Modified BFM-95 Protocol
Authors: Chidambaram Sundaramoorthy , Elangovan Vidhubala , Mahajan Vandana , Ganesan Prasanth , Radhakrishnan Venkatraman 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: The use of cranial radiotherapy for central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is debated owing to its effect on neurocognitive functioning, as only <30% of the patients present with low risk in India and majority of the patients with high risk have to be treated with cranial radiation therapy (CRT) to prevent relapse. Given the increasing number of ALL survivors in India, the effect of CRT on neurocognitive functioning in children with ALL needs to be studied. Methods: Children (n = 44) with ALL who received CRT, intrathecal methotrexate (IT-MTX), and high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) for CNS prophylaxis as part of the modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster 95 protocol were included. Neurocognitive assessments and magnetic resonance image were performed to assess neurocognitive functioning and neuroanatomical structures, respectively. Five assessments were performed during the induction, end of re-induction I and II, commencement of maintenance, and end of maintenance phases of the modified BFM-95 protocol. Neurocognitive data of children with ALL were compared with those of healthy children (n = 60) at the baseline and after the final assessment. Results: A significant deterioration was observed in the performance intelligence, visuospatial ability, processing speed, and verbal retention domains after the completion of CNS prophylaxis. Three children had white matter changes on magnetic resonance imaging and showed reduced functioning in performance intelligence quotient, working memory, visual immediate and delayed memory, processing speed, verbal retention, visuospatial ability, processing speed, attention, planning and fine motor skills, and verbal comprehension. Children with ALL had poorer neuropsychological functioning when compared with healthy children. Conclusion: CNS prophylactic therapy as part of the BFM-95 protocol had an adverse effect on the neuropsychological functioning of children with ALL, and the effect was more pronounced when CRT was added to the treatment.
Parasitic Infections and Cancer: A Status Report
Authors: Sora Yasr , Wiwanitkit Viroj 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThere are many tropical parasitic infections that are still present public health problem in tropical medicine. Of interest, some diseases are proved for the relationship with carcinogenesis. Many cancers are proved for the etiopathogenesis due to parasitic infections. The well-known tropical parasitic infections that can induce carcinogenesis are opisthorchiasis, clonorchiasis, and schistosomiasis. To prevent parasitic infection related cancer is an important consideration in clinical oncology. The standard practice is the prevention of the infection, but the hope is the development of the new vaccines for cancer prevention. Here, the authors briefly review on the current status on the cancer vaccines against the three important tropical diseases that can result in cancers, opisthorchiasis, clonorchiasis, and schistosomiasis.
Comparison of Efficacy of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography with Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography in Pretreatment Evaluation of Head and Neck Cancers: An Institutional Experience
Authors: Jain Mayuri , Sarin Arti , Suhag V , Gahlot GPS , Jain Anurag , Bandhopadhya A 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) constitute 5.4% of all cancers worldwide, and 23% of all cancers in males and 6% of all cancers in females diagnosed in India. Lots of ambiguity exists in primary, nodal, and metastatic workup of these patients, especially in developing countries. Aim: The study was designed to compare the accuracy of whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (WBPET/CT) scan with contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) face and neck as pretreatment evaluation for staging workup and management decision and to confirm the nodal findings on imaging with fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Design: It was a single-institute, prospective, observational, interventional study over a 2-year period. All cases of SCC of upper aerodigestive tract who were scheduled for definitive treatment concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy were evaluated with routine investigations followed by imaging in the form of CECT face and neck and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) WBPET/CT. Results: In the 40 enrolled patients, all underwent CECT face and neck and WBPET/CT. During initial workup, biopsy was taken from primary site and FNAC was done from neck nodes for diagnosis and for staging. In 40 patients, CECT neck showed nodal metastasis in 39 patients; however, FNAC came positive in 38 cases. PET/CT showed nodal metastasis in 38 patients; however, FNAC came positive in 38 cases. Any node with Standardized uptake value (SUV) >2.5 was taken as suspicious lesion and FNAC was done. Sensitivity of CECT and PET/CT was 97.36% and 100%, respectively, while the specificity was 0% and 100%, respectively. Positive predictive value calculated for CECT and WBPET was 94.87% and 100%, respectively, while the negative predictive value for CECT and WBPET was 0% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: In head and neck SCC, FDG-PET/CT is more accurate than CECT in staging of the neck.
Role of Novel Marker Discovered on Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor 1 in Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Authors: Abbas Farhat , Besina Syed , Farooq Summyia , Bhat Gull Mohammad , Ashraf Shaziya , Latief Muzamil 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors arising from myenteric ganglion cells, termed interstitial cells of Cajal. GISTs occur predominantly between 40 and 60 years of age. CD34 was the initially used for diagnosing GIST. Due to its low specificity for GISTs, CD34 was replaced by C-KIT, which is a reliable marker. However, 5% GISTs lack C-KIT expression. Recent studies have shown GIST1 (DOG1) to be a more sensitive and specific marker compared to C-KIT and CD34. Aims and Objectives: The aim was to study histomorphology characteristics and risk stratification of all cases previously diagnosed as GISTs, to evaluate these cases for CD117 and DOG1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and to see whether there was any advantage in using novel markers (i.e. DOG1) as compared to conventional (C-KIT) in GIST at our center. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients with histomorphologic or imaging impression of GIST were subjected to IHC using C-KIT and DOG1. Results and Conclusion: Of 50 cases 47 (94%) were positive for C-KIT, and all 50 (100%) cases were positive for DOG1. Hence, DOG1 was positive even in C-KIT-negative cases. Therefore, our study suggests that DOG1 should be added to workup of suspected cases of GIST along with C-KIT.
Modelling long-term blanket peatland development in eastern Scotland
Authors: Swinnen Ward , Broothaerts Nils , Verstraeten Gert 
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Blanket peatlands constitute a rare ecosystem on a global
scale, but blanket peatland is the most important peatland type on the British Isles. Most
long-term peatland development models have focussed on peat bogs and
high-latitude regions. Here, we present a process-based 2-D hillslope model
to simulate long-term blanket peatland development along complex hillslope
topographies. To calibrate the model, the peatland architecture was assessed
along 56 hillslope transects in the headwaters of the river Dee (633 km2) in eastern Scotland, resulting in a dataset of 866 soil
profile descriptions. The application of the calibrated model using local
pollen-based land cover and regional climate reconstructions (mean annual
temperature and mean monthly precipitation) over the last 12 000 years shows
that the Early Holocene peatland development was largely driven by a
temperature increase. An increase in woodland cover only has a slight
positive effect on the peat growth potential contradicting the hypothesis
that blanket peatland developed as a response to deforestation. Both the
hillslope measurements and the model simulations demonstrate that the
blanket peatland cover in the study area is highly variable both in extent
and peat thickness stressing the need for spatially distributed peatland
modelling. At the landscape scale, blanket peatlands were an important
atmospheric carbon sink during the period 9.5–6 kyr BP. However, during
the last 6000 years, the blanket peatlands were in a state of dynamic
equilibrium with minor changes in the carbon balance.
