title: Socio-environmental conflicts over water in the Northeast of Brazil: Contemporary expropriations and social struggles in rural areas

description: Abstract The commercialization of water expresses the aggravation of social inequalities in rural areas, increasing conflicts involving the possession, ownership, and use of water by the local population. This article discusses the conflicts over water conflicts in the Northeast of Brazil, considering the structural determinations around the issue: the expansion of agribusiness and its impacts on rural populations. The study conducts extensive bibliographic research, carried out during doctorate studies, in addition to the analysis of institutional documents around the theme. The intensification of water conflicts in the region is linked to the private appropriation of land, establishing the confrontation between classes and parts of the fundamental classes. On the one side is the agribusiness, and on the other riverine, quilombola, fishermen, indigenous, and small farmers, who establish their “social metabolism” (FOSTER, 2005) with close dependence on natural resources.

title: Socio-environmental conflicts in the Northeast of Brazil: A topic of interest for Social Work

description: Abstract This article presents research focusing on the characterization of the current context of socio-environmental conflicts in Northeast Brazil as part of the expressions of the “environmental issue” and its confrontation nowadays. These conflicts are pointed out as new challenges to the field of Social Work. This is an exploratory bibliographic and documentary research. The results show a significant growth of conflicts in the region; land as a major environmental resource in dispute; and who are the main political subjects involved in these conflicts, representing the capital and the labor. The conclusion is that the current economic development model is constitutive and a constituent of the observed worrying scenario, as it is based on taking the national economy back to produce primary goods, commodity, and deepening the associated, dependent, and unequal place historically assigned to Brazil within the capitalist world market.

title: The work of elderly caregivers from the perspective of the care economy

description: Abstract The characteristics and work challenges of elderly caregivers are still little studied in Brazil. This article aims to explore the perceptions of elderly caregivers about their work from the perspective of the care economy. Through qualitative research, ten interviews were conducted with caregivers who offer their services to the elderly population in the person’s home. The interviews were conducted based on a semi-structured script and analyzed through content analysis. The study proposes four categories related to characteristics and challenges of this work: a) the job is presented to caregivers as a need to complement income; b) the job is a source of physical and mental suffering; c) caregivers criticize the commodification of care; and d) it points out difficulties in adjusting relationships of intimacy, affective involvement, and work compensation. The results allow exploring the subjectivity of this work and point out interventions to train workers, offering better conditions to caregivers.

title: The socio-environmental issue: A descriptive study about the theme in Latin American Seminars of Schools of Social Work

description: Abstract The article analyzes the academic debate of the Social Work in Latin America regarding the social-environmental issue. The academic space of dialogue studied was the Latin American Seminars of Schools of Social Work occurring between 1998 and 2012. During this period, five seminars were held, presenting more than 1,000 studies. The research examined these studies, separating the works that directly addressed the socio-environmental issue in order to: a) identify the most used (theoretical or contextual) concepts; b) determine the predominant social and environmental problems studied; and c) learn about the fields of professional action. The results showed the Social Workers commitment to elaborate an academic and political position facing the extractive and capitalist logics that affect much of Latin America, particularly the rural and indigenous communities. The findings pointed out the need to broaden the disciplinary narratives in place, aiming to gain space in the global debate.

title: Higher education in times of neoliberal adjustment and loss of rights

description: Abstract This article presents some of the reflections made in a research group of the Graduate Program in Social Work of the Fluminense Federal University in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The reflections are based on bibliographic research and document analysis regarding the different phases of neoliberal counterrevolution in Brazil, discussing the permanent fiscal adjustment policy - that aims to ensure the payment of public debt - and its consequences in public spending on higher education. The conclusions indicate that government actions lead to deepening the precariousness of public universities, expansion of the privatization of higher education, and regression of workers’ rights, suggesting the rise of a new stage of the class struggle in the country.

title: Pension Funds in Brazil: Principles for a Marxist Criticism

description: Abstract This article uses the Marxist theoretical-methodological framework to propose critical elements to the dynamics of the operation of pension funds in Brazil. This study consisted of a literature review and the use of empirical data. The text is divided into two sections, the first provides an overview of the role of such funds in central and peripheral countries, with a view to their structural place in the capitalist context of globalization, structural crisis, and neoliberal offensive. The second section presents the structuring steps that provided the material basis for the expansion of pension fund assets in the country, with emphasis on funds intended for civil servants. The article reveals the massive financial power of these funds and suggests the validity of the hypothesis that they are designed to serve the financial markets, to the detriment of social security protection.

title: Marxian analysis of quota policy in Brazilian public higher education

description: Abstract This article presents a theoretical and bibliographic review discussing social and ethnic-racial quotas in Brazilian federal higher education institutions, based on the historical and dialectical materialism. The study considers the university as an arena of class struggle and raises the question: to what extent does the policy of social and ethnic-racial quotas constitute processes of resistance to fair distribution and equal bourgeois rights? It is understood that the quota policy emerges and is justified on the assumption that the equal right does not include the black population. This bourgeois pseudo-equality does not consider this population’s historically denied access to socially produced goods and wealth. Therefore, there must be another form of access, which is connected to another form of facing the issue of universality, considering diversity and the need for unequal treatment, since the equal treatment maintains the inequality.

title: Comparing two samples through stochastic dominance: a graphical approach

description: Non-deterministic measurements are common in real-world scenarios: the performance of a stochastic optimization algorithm or the total reward of a reinforcement learning agent in a chaotic environment are just two examples in which unpredictable outcomes are common. These measures can be modeled as random variables and compared among each other via their expected values or more sophisticated tools such as null hypothesis statistical tests. In this paper, we propose an alternative framework to visually compare two samples according to their estimated cumulative distribution functions. First, we introduce a dominance measure for two random variables that quantifies the proportion in which the cumulative distribution function of one of the random variables scholastically dominates the other one. Then, we present a graphical method that decomposes in quantiles i) the proposed dominance measure and ii) the probability that one of the random variables takes lower values than the other. With illustrative purposes, we re-evaluate the experimentation of an already published work with the proposed methodology and we show that additional conclusions—missed by the rest of the methods—can be inferred. Additionally, the software package <i>RVCompare</i> was created as a convenient way of applying and experimenting with the proposed framework.

title: Ecogeographical variable dataset for species distribution modelling, describing forest landscape in Latvia, 2017

description: 42 ecogeographical variables (EGVs) used to describe the landscape of Latvia at three scales (local and two landscape). Layers are focused on the description of forest heterogeneity, but account for other ecosystems and land cover types as well. The more temporarily changing land use and land cover (LULC) types as forest and agricultural lands are described from 2017 databases. With most of the other LULC information gathered from the topographic map (2016) at the scale of 1:10 000. 
All the raster layers provided here are in the Latvian projected coordinate reference system (epsg:3059) with a grid cell size of 25ha. Each layer provides quantitative information on the area, shape, and edge of habitat classes and additionally, age, time since the last forestry disturbance, relative soil humidity, relative soil richness etc. for forests. The three scales represent information from within 25ha grid cell, and two radii – 1250 and 2500 m - around the center of the grid cell.
