title: Public opinion and new communication strategies in the audiovisual industry: the case of Netflix and Sense8

description: Abstract Streaming audiovisual operators are breaking the contemporary audiovisual ecosystem with a growing and majority influence in urban young people, firstly, to constitute a serious competition for traditional television channels. In addition to this, social networks and the interactivity that audiovisual contents provide with audiences are also a paradigm change in public activity. In this context, this article analyzes the situation of public opinion and communicative crisis that occurred from the cancellation of content (the Sense8 series of Netflix, 2017) and the impact on social networks (Twitter). Among its conclusions is a novel strategy by this new audiovisual company to respond and integrate in their discourse and productive practices the demands of their audiences.

title: Between risks and threats: independence and oversight power of the Brazilian Federal Audit Court in the 1988 Constituent Assembly

description: Abstract Why would political actors take the risk of being controlled in the future by independent anti- corruption institutions? The paper intends to explain what motivates politicians to give independence and power to these institutions, even they are under the risk of being controlled in the future. With the process tracing method, this paper gathers evidence regarding the institutional design of the Brazilian Federal Audit Court that was approved during the Constituent Assembly in 1988. The result shows that, regardless of the politicians’ preferences, anti-corruption institutions purchase greater power through threats against the survival of political actors in contexts of future uncertainty. This diagnosis questions whether the independent anti-corruption institutions actually are an output of democratic competition, since these are not always a straight result from the majority preferences of elected representatives.

title: Electoral disputes and political representation in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo

description: Abstract This article analyzes how the dynamic of representation policy can translate into obstacles for the mobilization of the Legislative political actors around a metropolitan agenda. The objective is to analyze the representativeness of metropolitan – based deputies in the Legislative Assembly of the State of São Paulo – and to characterize the electoral dispute in the state municipalities, which will be characterized by two different indicators: a concentration of the dispute (effective number of candidates) and an electoral competitiveness index (T index). The results show that the metropolitan deputies of São Paulo are not underrepresented in the Assembly and the electoral dispute in metropolitan municipalities tends to be less concentrated, with a “metropolis effect” on the concentration of the dispute, but not necessarily more competitive.

title: Between knowing and feeling: emotions and the vote in the 2017 Chilean presidential election

description: How do citizens decide who to vote for in an election? Traditional answers focus on the role of political knowledge, party identification, and evaluations of the past performance of governments as explanatory variables. In this study we evaluate an alternative argument: the role of emotions. Using data from a survey carried out following the Chilean general elections of December 2017, this article investigates the association of emotions with the vote for Sebastián Piñera, and how emotions interact with other relevant factors that correlate with the vote. We conclude that in Chile, together with party identification and the evaluation of past governments, the emotions aroused by candidates are strongly associated with the voting decision.

title: Political advertising and its impact on the participation of users in social networks: presidential elections of Colombia 2018

description: Abstract The research presented in this article analyzes the strategies of the political announcements published on Twitter by the candidates for the second round of presidential election in Colombia, in the year 2018. The purpose and focus of the message of 425 posts was identified and a negative binomial regression model was applied to establish the effects of these elements on the participation of users on Twitter measured by likes, comments and retweets. There were two relevant findings: a) aggressive political advertising – when candidates attack, or defend against an opponent – increases the participation of users on Twitter; b) Messages with personal themes of the candidate have greater social support than publications that address political proposals.

title: The PMDB’s ideological behaviour at the Chamber of Deputies in 2013

description: Abstract The article aims at analysing the ideological behaviour of PMDB’s federal deputies in 2013. We depart from the idea that to set a political party specifically in a particular ideological point does not allow to grasp its heterogeneity. To achieve this goal, we present a different methodology. Law projects have been classified based on a chart of meanings built from federal deputies’ speeches of all parties. In a general way, results confirm a trend already outlined by the literature, that is, the PMDB occupies a position at the centre. However, in this text, we demonstrate essential variations on the left and right in this spectrum. In this sense, although the party can be classified at a specific point in the ideological spectrum, the main article’s finding is that this point cannot be perceived in an essentialist way. Such a point shows significant variations that need to be considered.

title: Politization of natural disasters: party alignment, emergency declarations, and allocation of federal resources to municipalities in Brazil

description: Abstract What is the relationship between party alignment and the allocation of federal recognition and emergency resources to Brazilian municipalities? We propose that even though disasters are given by nature, politics matter for federal recognition and the amount of transfers received. The argument is that the government will benefit the aligned mayors, recognizing the emergency declarations and allocating more resources to the municipalities of the same party. Considering the Brazilian coalition presidentialism, we tested three hypotheses for political alignment: alignment with the president, with the coalition, and with the minister of the portfolio. We present an original database with emergency declarations by the municipalities and the amounts transferred for that purpose in the period from 2010 to 2015. We used Poisson regression models and a two-part model to test our hypotheses. The results indicate that declarations and emergency transfers are allocated in a way that benefits political allies at the subnational level, especially mayors aligned with the minister of the portfolio.

title: Extreme morphologies of mantis shrimp larvae

description: ABSTRACT Larvae of stomatopods (mantis shrimps) are generally categorized into four larval types: antizoea, pseudozoea (both representing early larval stages), alima and erichthus (the latter two representing later larval stages). These categories, however, do not reflect the existing morphological diversity of stomatopod larvae, which is largely unstudied. We describe here four previously unknown larval types with extreme morphologies. All specimens were found in the collections of the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen and were collected during the Danish Dana Expedition round the world 1928-30. These new larval types all represent erichthus-type larvae, especially differing in their shield morphologies. The shield morphology ranges from almost spherical to rather disc-like, with sometimes extremely elongated spines, but only a general systematic assignment of the larvae was possible. Further investigations of these larvae are crucial to understand their life habits and ecological impact, especially as stomatopod and other crustacean larvae might have a much more important position in the marine ecosystems than their corresponding adults.

title: Party affiliation: an important forgotten variable in Brazil

description: Abstract If we consider only the recent affiliated to political parties in Brazil, they are three times the votes received by Jânio Quadros in the 1960 presidential election. According to the database of the Brazilian electoral justice, about 16.8 million voters were members of political parties at the end of 2018: the equivalent of 11,4% of the electorate. How are these members distributed in Brazil? What variables explain the geographical differences of the affiliation? Our objectives are: 1) verify the growth of party affiliation in Brazilian municipalities in the 2014, 2016, 2018 election years; 2) analyze de variations between them, from a social-spatial perspective. It is an exploratory study. We use spatial-statistical and cartographic methods to analyze the party affiliation database. We found a network of associations with socio-demographic, economic and electoral indicators. We wanted to know what changed, when it changed, where it changed, and what changed together. We identify patterns of associations that are presented in the article.

title: Vote and partisanship in 2018: social sorting in Brazilian politics

description: Abstract Does social sorting theory explain the political behavior of Brazilian voters in the 2018 presidential election? The Americanist literature demonstrates that the alignment of social identities generates and reinforces partisanship as a social identity especially among right-wingers. Given the salience of religious faith, race, and gender in the 2018 elections, it is worth understanding whether the same phenomenon occurs in Brazil. This question is answered based on econometric tests relying on data from a nationally representative survey conducted with 1,498 voters in the first semester of 2019. Multinomial logistic and logistic regressions demonstrate that protestants, white, and males have a substantively higher preference for PSL in comparison to other parties, both when it comes to voting and partisanship.

title: Tracking of spatial changes in the structure of the zooplankton community according to multiple abiotic factors along a hypersaline lagoon

description: Abstract In this study we evaluated the effects of changes in salinity, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen on the spatiotemporal variation of zooplankton. Samples were collected in January−March, May; October−December 2010; and January−March 2011 in the Araruama lagoon, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There were eight fixed stations sampled using a WP2 net equipped with a flow meter. The zooplankton diversity of the Araruama lagoon was low and dominated by Cirripedia larvae and by the copepod Acartia tonsa, which is an indicator species of eutrophication. In general, a few species from the Cabo Frio region were able to adapt to the conditions of this hypersaline lagoon. In addition, a specimen of Monstrilla bahiana (Monstrilloidae) was found at a salinity of 46‰. This is the first record of the order Monstrilloida in the region of Cabo Frio. Temperature, salinity and pH were shown to be limiting factors for the species present in the lagoon since Cirripedia seemed to avoid releasing their larvae under unfavorable environmental conditions. The abundance of A. tonsa was always associated with that of Cirripedia larvae, and it was higher at cooler temperatures.

title: International economic relations in Latin America: a study on the perceptions of parliamentary elites

description: Abstract This article analyzes the perceptions of parliamentarians from 17 countries in Latin America about economic and international relations. The central issue is to identify the determinants of parliamentarians’ preferences. The article seeks to identify which are the determinants that influence the options expressed by parliamentarians, putting in contrast their options for political and economic relations between countries in the region vs. their options for other countries and the main economic powers. The analysis is divided into two parts. The first one is comparative, with descriptive statistics and network analysis. After this analysis, legislatures/countries are compared at the aggregate level. The second part goes down to the level of individual parliamentary behavior, seeking to estimate, with the application of linear regression models (OLS), the weight of different predictors for the formation of their preference structures. The article concludes that parliamentarians' preferences are strongly determined by contextual (structural) variables and a high degree of economic pragmatism, but political ideas continue to have some relevance. Although to a lesser extent, the ideology and preferences for state-regulated economies also help to understand why some parliamentarians defend more political and economic regionalism than others.

title: The expansion of freshwater crayfish range to the center of Eurasia

description: Abstract Freshwater crayfish were previously absent in the territory stretching from the Caspian Sea basin to the Amur basin. That gap is now being filled, mainly due to the eastward invasion of the narrow-clawed crayfish Astacus leptodactylus, which has currently approached Lake Baikal. This invasion is the result of unauthorized releases. Further spread of the narrow-clawed crayfish or other crayfish species in Siberia may be expected.
