Full textAbstract:
Since the turn of the century, a third of the mammal species of arid Australia have suffered a drastic decline in distribution and abundance. Uluru National Park has not escaped the massive loss of mammals, with over 15 species being lost from the Park in the last century, and some, including the brush-tailed possum, Trichosurus vulpecula, becoming locally extinct in the last twenty years (Baynes and Baird 1992, Reid, Kerle and Morton 1993). This suggests that the processes causing the decline are still operating. The mulgara Dasycercus cristicauda, remains extant in the vicinity of Uluru National Park but has suffered extensive range reductions and is believed to be less abundant in areas which it still occupies (Kennedy 1990, Gibson and Cole 1992, Woolley 1995). Very little is known about the field ecology of D. cristicauda and this has hindered the conservation management of the remaining populations. I report here on ecological data collected from a population at Uluru National Park between 1987 and 1990. This information was collected during a study of the effects of fire on small mammals of the area (Masters 1993).

Full textAbstract:
The multiple-use Moreton Bay Marine Park in eastern Australia was rezoned in 2009, increasing the total no-take marine national park (MNP) from 0.5 to 16%. In the present study we measured trends in the human use of no-take areas using observed vessel position and categorisation during on-water and aerial surveys before and after rezoning. Measured changes in spatial patterns of fishing showed that the effects of rezoning on most fishing activity was minimal. After rezoning, the proportion of recreational fishing declined from 6.3 to 2.6% of the footprint in the new MNPs. The proportion of commercial fishing declined from 25 to 1%, although the amount of commercial fishing was low. There was an overall increase in fishing activity on Moreton Bay. Low recreational fisher displacement suggests that the expansion of the MNP area did not have a high social cost. However, most of the no-take zones were areas not previously subject to high recreational fishing pressure. If a significant proportion of the no-take zones were placed in areas of low ecological production, the biodiversity conservation impact achieved by the rezoning of Moreton Bay may have been less than the 16% increase in no-take areas would imply.

Full textAbstract:
There is a wide literature in bird community ecology that bears on questions of species composition and species densities, and the variations in these attributes within habitats between years and between different geographic regions, and between habitat types both locally and regionally (Cody 1975, 1985; Diamond & Case 1986). While there has always been considerable debate on the constancy of bird communities within habitats and among years, and the extent to which community attributes are predictable and deterministic, rather than variable, stochastic or even chaotic (e.g. Wiens 1985, 1988), recently other developments have accentuated the need for measuring and evaluating bird distributions and densities. There is a fast-developing literature that documents recent (ca. the last decade or two) declines in bird species' distributions and densities at both local and regional scales, and emphasizes in particular evidence for recent reductions in the ranges and densities of bird species that are neotropical migrants (e.g. Hutto 1980, 1986; Keast & Morton 1980; Terborgh 1989; Smithsonian 1991). Given especially the concern that bird species breeding in North American sites and overwintering at lower latitudes (where habitat destruction and fragmentation are particularly rapid), data on status changes in breeding bird communities need to be carefully monitored. The best, perhaps the only, way of doing this is to collect current data, to contrast with comparable data collected in a similar fashion in earlier periods. Thus the rationale for this study is apparent: during 1966-68 I obtained extensive data on the bird communities at two sites in Jackson Hole within Grand Teton National Park, located near the site of the old Research Station on the north side of the Snake River below the dam at Jackson Lake. During two field seasons 1991-92 I reassessed the bird communities at these two sites, with the major objective being a documentation of whether, in which ways, and to what extent, the bird communities of the two sites had changed over the 25-year period. The birds in Jackson Hole are particularly appropriate for this 25-year, then-and-now comparison, since none of the dominant species at the two study sites is resident. But while some species winter almost wholly within the United States (e.g. Fox sparrow (Passerella ilaca), other species winter in northern Mexico in desert habitats (e.g. Brewer's sparrow Spizella breweri, Chipping sparrow Spizella passerina) or west-coastal second growth habitats (e.g. Yellow warbler Dendroica petechia, Common Yellowthroat Geothlypis trichas), and yet others winter much further south into Central America (e.g. MacGillivray's warbler Oporornis tolmei, Wilson's warbler Wilsonia pusilla). The results of the comparison are presented in this report, where differences in species composition and density are revealed in both the short-term (adjacent years) and the longer term (between censuses over 25 years apart). But despite such variations, it will be noted that the overall community structure and composition of the sites has changed little over the quarter century.

We present new information on oviposition behaviour in the Mormon Metalmark, Apodemia mormo Felder and Felder, 1859, documented in Grasslands National Park of Canada, Saskatchewan, in August 2011. The Mormon Metalmark is found throughout the U.S. southwest; little is known about its life history in the northern populations found in Canada. We provide photographic documentation of the butterfly laying single eggs directly on soil or rocks. These observations differ from those recorded in the southern part of its range, where it lays eggs in groups of 2–4 on various locations of the host plant, Branched Umbrella-Plant, Eriogonum pauciflorum Pursh. This is the first published account of oviposition behaviour of this species in Canada in the most northern part of its range.

Full textAbstract:
GIS analysis of LiDAR imagery facilitated the completion of a modified NHPA Section 110 Class II survey and inventory. The identification and recordation of 58 new archaeological sites, 21 isolated finds, and 18 updated site records in the vicinity of the Mormon Row Historic District (MRHD; 48TE1444) has led to a recommendation that the landscape and the resources be collectively nominated and designated as a Rural Historic Landscape (RHL). The fieldwork was accomplished using a newly invented method called iterology that takes into account ideology, technology, historical ecology, and the archival/archaeological record in an iterative process (back and forth) across scales, dimensions, and intersections of cultural resources within a landscape in an effort to locate the object of Mormonideological desire in the archaeological record. One can locate the object of ideological desire in the archaeological record if certain assumptions are accepted and protocols followed. The result of the fieldwork and analysis is the location of the object as well as the production of a Doctoral dissertation outlining the methods and theory needed to arrive at the conclusions and results. The object is the Mormon Irrigation Pattern, first observed in LiDAR imagery at Mormon Row.

This study was carried out in 2004 in Iguacu National Park (INP), Paraná-Brazil. The vegetation is composed of Araucaria Forest (AF) (13.1%) and Seasonal Semi-deciduous Forest (FES) (86.9%). Two types of materials were analyzed: litter (L) and woody material (W) (alive (A) and dead (D)), and classified by diameter: W1(0–0.70 cm), W2(0.71–2.5 cm), W3(2.51–7.50 cm), and W4(³7.5 cm). The results for the FES was 21.7 t/ha, with 42.4% in diameter class WD4 (8.98 t/ha) and 38.6% was litter (8.17 t/ha). The FOM was 12.87 t/ha, with 78.9% litter. The carbon stocks of the materials varied between 36.2% and 42.1% (for litter and WD4), both in the FES. There were no significant differences between the carbon stocks of the forest types. Rather differences existed between the pools (5% ANOVA and Tukey test). In the FES the carbon stock was 8.29 t/ha, which is equivalent to 30.41 tCO2e/ha, and in the FOM the stock was 4.94t/ha or 18.12 tCO2e/ha. For the vegetation types the carbon stock in INP was 8.35 tC/ha and 30.62 tCO2e/ha for the FES and FOM, respectively. The carbon pools analyzed in this study contribute significantly to the total carbon stock of a forest ecosystem and should always be taken into consideration when developing estimates for a forest.Keywords: Araucaria; Seasonal Semideciduous Forest; Araucaria Forest; climate change; carbon fraction.

Full textAbstract:
Kelly Warm Springs is a unique geological feature located within Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. The Kelly Warm Springs area is used extensively by park wildlife, for recreation by park visitors, and is a place of educational interest. It has also been the site of historic non-native fish releases. The current work was initiated to gather historical information and to begin systematic documentation of temperatures in and around Kelly Warm Springs. Historic information that was not published but considered valid was included. Non-native fish presence was first documented in the 1960s. Concerns about non-native fish and habitat loss for native species were discussed by researchers in the 1980s. The temperature ranges recorded at several sites October â December 2014 approached 0oC at the lower section of the outflow channel, but remained above 20oC in the spring pond. While these range below the preferred temperature range for goldfish, research has documented survival in near zero temperatures. All sites located below Mormon Row where temperature loggers were initially deployed were either dewatered or frozen by mid-November.

Full textAbstract:
GIS analysis of LiDAR imagery facilitated a modified NHPA Section 110 Class II survey and inventory performed in the summer of 2016 resulting in the identification of hundreds of fragmentary, relict, and extant cultural resources located in the vicinity of the Mormon Row Historic District (MRHD; 48TE1444) between June 6 and August 10, 2016. Correct identification and association of newly located cultural resources with persons, historic-era homesteads, and historic events is a complex and lengthy process requiring thorough artifact analysis and substantial background, ethnologic, and archival (contextual) research to make recommendations of significance, eligibility, and/or inclusion as contributing elements or not to the MRHD. Moving from the artifact scale to the site, feature, or historic district scale is a scalar process. Once at the site or historic district scale, it may be appropriate to ask whether the cultural resources can be addressed at a landscape scale, and ask new research questions such as: What if one were to consider all the cultural resources–prehistoric, historic, and natural–together? Are there theories and/or methodologies that can accommodate multiple layers of cultural resources and time frames and result in interpretations that are meaningful for present and future cultural resources management praxis?

Full textAbstract:
The following thesis is a study of how communities of Washington County, Utah developed within one of the most inhospitable deserts of the American West. A trend of reliance on public works programs during economic depressions, not only put people to work, but also provided an influx of outside aid to develop an infrastructure for future economic stability and growth. Each of these public works was carefully planned by leaders who not only saw the immediate impact these projects would have, but also future benefits they would confer. These communities also became dependent on acquiring outside investment capital from the Mormon Church, private companies and government agencies. This dependency required residents to cooperate not only with each other, but with these outside interests who now had a stake in the county's development. The construction of the Mormon Tabernacle and Temple in St. George during the 1870s made that community an important religious and cultural hub for the entire region. Large-scale irrigation and reclamation projects in the 1890s opened up new areas for agriculture and settlement. And in the 1920s and 1930s the development of Zion National Park and the construction of roads provided the infrastructure for one of the county's most important industries, tourism. Long after these projects' completion they still provided economic and cultural value to the communities they served. Some of these projects provided the infrastructural foundation that allowed Washington County communities to have greater security and control over their economic future. Over time the communities of southern Utah created dramatic reenactments and erected monuments of these very projects to celebrate and preserve the story of their construction. During the first decade of the twenty-first century Washington County has become one of the fastest growing areas in the country, and as a result public works programs continue to be important to support this growth.

Full textAbstract:
A discussion of environmental land classification is presented for the purpose of surveying avifaunal communities.
Surveying and mapping land uses the term environment in a special sense. Environment can be mapped into regions whose components are interacting climate terrain, geology, soils and biota. The problem of how to describe the environment for sampling fauna requires an approach which samples the inherent and known variability of all environmental regions present. Discovery of patterns between fauna and environment provide the basis for understanding species/habitat relationships and provides a valuable basis for management or more detailed studies. Two environmental mapping methods commonly employed in faunal survey and management are systematic grids and natural landscape patterns; these were compared to determine their effectiveness for classifying the environment for sampling avifaunal communities.
A detailed study was undertaken between 1982-84 in a plot of 8km2 in the Tianjara area. The plot was chosen to encompass a representative sample of the wide range of environments described by Gunn (1985). Analysis of the systematic grids involved sampling a diverse set of environmental attributes into six different grid sizes, including 100m2, 200m2, 300m2, 400m2, 500m2 and 1000m2. Topographic maps and aerial photos provided the sources for measuring the attributes. Results of several analyses showed the 300m2 grid was the most appropriate for the Tianjara area. Analysis of natural landscape patterns involved adoption of the work done by Gunn et al (1984) and led to the preparation of a land unit map for the study plot. Detailed patterns were delineated in 1:27,000 scale air photos and described using the land unit descriptions in Gunn (1985).
Results from ground site samples taken to verify the two mapping bases showed that the correspondence between map and ground data was better for sites in systematic grids than for natural landscape patterns. Notwithstanding this, a better understanding of the effects of sampling specific patches of environment was gained from examining sites in natural landscape patterns because it employed a stratified representative sampling strategy, while the systematic grids used a centric systematic sampling strategy. The effect of this was large uniform patches of habitat tended to be more oversampled by sites in systematic grids than was observed for sites in natural landscape patterns.
Examination of the relationships between the sampling bases using analyses of environment was not possible because of the lack of sufficient sites in common between the two sampling bases. Comparison of the two sampling bases was, however, possible by using avifaunal data common to both sampling bases. Analysis of the relationships between avifaunal data and environmental groups showed only minor differences between the effectiveness of the two sampling bases to provide practical and realistic descriptions of environment for describing discrete assemblages of birds.
The overall conclusion of this study is that any environmental classification, so long as it is based on relevant attributes known to be important for environmental structure and processes, will provide a valuable basis for sampling fauna. A number of points need to be stressed regarding analyses of this type; care needs to be exercised in choosing surrogate environmental attributes between the mapping and ground site data and caution is required when allocating sampling sites to avoid overemphasising area of environmental groups as more important than the inherent variability of the attributes within the environmental groups. An understanding of this problem will greatly improve the nature of sampling fauna in environmental regions.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe chapter concentrates on personality rights, privacy, and post-mortem privacy protection in France and the United Kingdom. The French archival system applies several tools to protect the personality and privacy of the actors of archival materials. One of the tools at the basic level is the system of closure periods. On the one hand, France liberalised access to records, in a ground-breaking move in 2008, when it removed general closure periods which prevented access to the archives for 30 years after the record was created. However, France has maintained several closure periods for certain selected groups of archives. The second level of protection is represented by the French specific system of access to public archives under the “accès par dérogation”, which will be, among other things, examined in this chapter. Alongside France, the chapter will analyse the situation in the United Kingdom characterised by a highly decentralised system of access to public records, archives, and information in general. The specificity of the British model of access to archives and data protection lies in the establishment of multiple, multi-layered, and multi-faceted testing and examining public interest in the area of access to public records and archives. This is done in several phases; the first phase is carried out by the record and information creator, and the second phase then in the case of historical records (i.e., in the British legal system, records created more than 20 years ago) by the archives and at certain points at the national level by a specialised independent body: the Advisory Council on National Records and Archives. The chapter will demonstrate in detail the specificity of the British approach characterised by multi-faceted control and the existence of a range of mechanisms that guarantee the application of multiple public interests entering the field of access to records and information from different sides and perspectives.

<em>Abstract.</em>—In 2003, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service initiated a 5-year Shoal Bass <em>Micropterus cataractae</em> stocking program below Morgan Falls Dam in the Chattahoochee River, Georgia with a goal of restoring population abundance to historic levels and to provide further sportfishing opportunities. Shoal Bass were marked with oxytetracyline (OTC) and stocked as juveniles at one of two size-classes (Phase I [~25 mm total length] and Phase II [~60 mm total length]) in spring (April–June) each year (2003–2007). Contribution to the adult population was evaluated by collecting adult Shoal Bass with boat electrofishing from 2007 to 2011 and viewing their otoliths for the presence of an OTC mark. Stocked Shoal Bass dominated the total sample of adult fish collected (60%), and most of these fish (83%) were stocked at the larger Phase-II size-class. Based on results from multiple regression modeling, stocked age-3 Shoal Bass catch per unit effort was positively related to mean size at stocking and spring water temperatures. Total mortality of Shoal Bass in this population was low (20%) with increased longevity (14 years) and slow growth rates. Overall, the 5-year Shoal Bass stocking program was successful in increasing Shoal Bass abundance in the Chattahoochee River below Morgan Falls Dam.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes Guatemalan perspectives on the Hague Principles. In Guatemala, the sources of Private International Law for international commercial contracts are: (i) international treaties, comprised of: the Convention on Private International Law (Bustamante Code) and the Inter-American Convention on General Rules of Private International Law (Second Inter-American Specialized Conference on Private International Law); and (ii) national laws. In general terms, the Guatemalan private international law regime applicable to international commercial contracts recognizes the ability of parties to a contract to choose the applicable law. Notwithstanding, important differences deriving from such regime may apply, and will ultimately depend on the type of dispute resolution mechanism the parties are using: litigation or arbitration. Currently, there are no on-going revisions or proposed revisions of the Guatemalan national laws or international treaties that provide rules of private international law for international commercial contracts. In the event that the rules of private international law would be revised, the Hague Principles could play a role, as they facilitate the legislative body’s task of creating a new statute and put forward the most advanced developments in the matter. For this to happen, however, the Hague Principles should be disseminated and made available and known to all relevant parties.

Full textAbstract:
The vernacular architecture of the Seminole Tribe of Florida has largely been given short shrift by architectural historians who tend to celebrate brick-and-mortar construction able to last hundreds of years. Traditional Seminole chickee construction emphasizes sustainable building techniques. Chickee structures were built for the needs of a population who frequently moved as a result of the relentless pursuit of the U.S. Army and the ongoing search for available resources. Approaching the issue of architectural heritage management is therefore significantly different in an on-reservation setting. While necessary as part of the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 review process, opportunities for the tribal architectural historian to engage in meaningful projects with the community were extremely limited.

Full textAbstract:
Johal, Moran and Williams outline a complementary strategic policy for business accountability to those of Jones and Cumbers. Criticising unrealistic ideas for state control of an increasingly nebulous and fragmented ‘national economy’, they point to the massive potential relevance of a ‘foundational economy’ of locally-based utilities and service provision. These sectors, which range from the ’para-statal’ outsourced public services into informal sectors, such as family care, employ up to a third of the UK workforce; often as low-paid – and female – workers. These concerns are mainly sheltered from the major pressures of international markets but many depend upon approval and quasi-regulation from public and local authorities; for example local council planning permission for retail establishments. So Johal et al recommend a form of re-embedded social accountability for these sectors, through forms of business licensing that is conditional on meeting key social criteria in community responsibility; e.g. for sourcing, training and payment of living wages. A national ‘constitutional settlement’, involving democratic deliberation and multi-stakeholder participation, should construct this foundational compact.

This chapter details Marshall's role as British officials and Africans began crafting a rule of law to guide Kenya's future. As an American, Marshall might seem like an intruder in a conversation, in essence, between British ruler and subject. But his presence was a marker of an era. His nation had thrown off British rule, an example that inspired the new generation. As rights became a central issue, Marshall found himself front and center. He was tasked with drafting a bill of rights. This was not a neat and tidy task, confined to the pristine world of legal analysis. And the document would not inscribe rights that would last forever. Instead, it was bricks-and-mortar work, the laying of a political foundation. The Bill of Rights was most importantly a commitment on the part of the parties to each other, a commitment to politics. To craft rights was to help build a nation.

This chapter highlights Paraguayan perspectives on the Hague Principles. Paraguay does not have a law dealing comprehensively and organically with Private International Law. The Civil and Commercial Code of 1987 contains the basic regulation on conflict of laws, and other provisions on the field can be found scattered in several special laws dealing with specific matters. Paraguay adhered, as a Member State, to the Hague Conference on Private International Law via Law 2555 of 2005. It is the first country in the world to legislate on international contracts heavily influenced by the Hague Principles. The Paraguayan law on international contracts drawn upon the Hague Principles openly allows the application of non-State law, and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) Principles clearly qualify as such.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores Mexican perspectives on the Hague Principles. The Inter-American Convention on the Law Applicable to International Contracts (the Mexico Convention) includes party autonomy in Article 7, according to which ‘the contract shall be governed by the law chosen by the parties’. This rule admits express and also tacit choice of law, provided the latter is ‘evident from the parties’ behaviour and the clauses of the contract, considered as a whole’. Following this provision, the parties to the international contract can select the law applicable to the entire contract or to a part of it. Moreover, Article 8 establishes that the parties can at any time make or modify their choice, but such new choice ‘shall not affect the formal validity of the contract nor the right of third parties’. The chapter then considers the existence of a Project of Private International Law Act for Mexico, developed within the Mexican Academy of Private International and Comparative Law (AMEDIP). For the topic of international contracts, the project literally incorporates the provisions of the Mexico Convention. Here, the Hague Principles could bring enhanced precision on the lex mercatoria as the object of the parties’ choice.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on Chilean perspectives on the Hague Principles. Due to the scarce and mostly unilateral provisions on private international law contained in Chilean legislation, there remain large gaps in the system. Chilean judges must therefore deduce relevant principles, and the result is often unclear solutions. Nevertheless, the recognition of party autonomy is increasingly gaining ground in academic literature and court judgments. On 2 October 2017, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, the Faculty of Law at the University of Chile, and the Chilean Association of Private International Law signed an agreement to compose a Draft Act of Private International Law. This work is being developed by a commission of specialists and originally revolved around the draft Model Act of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in the Caribbean (OHADAC) of 2014. Many of the ideas contained in the Hague Principles have been acknowledged and included in the draft, which is expected to be submitted to the National Congress. Given the lack of rules that specify the scope of party autonomy, the provisions contained in this instrument would be a welcome contribution to the Chilean legal system.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter studies Panamanian perspectives on the Hague Principles. In relation to obligations and contracts, the Panamanian Civil Code reproduces Book IV, ‘Of Obligations and Contracts’, of the Spanish Civil Code of 1889, but contains a number of important differences in other sections. In terms of sources of law, statutes occupy the most prominent position among sources of law. Consequently, neither interpretations given by Panamanian courts, nor decisions on previous cases, are binding for courts that must then decide on similar cases, even when the same provisions apply. Nevertheless, judicial decisions may, and in fact usually do, serve as an illustration on the correct application or interpretation of a legal rule. It is in this limited context that the Panamanian courts may refer to the Hague Principles and other principles of private international law and/or international contracts. The latter will not have an automatic or binding effect, but they may provide legal authority upon which the court may depend to properly interpret similar provisions of Panamanian private international law, or otherwise develop and complete legal gaps in Panamanian private international law.

Full textAbstract:
When Terasen Pipelines (later Kinder Morgan Canada) sought to loop its Trans Mountain pipeline through Canada’s Jasper National Park and British Columbia’s Mount Robson Provincial Park, both being components of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage site, the company faced formidable regulatory and public interest obstacles. However, the company and several environmental groups agreed not to test the strength of their respective uncertain legal positions, but to work co-operatively with each other and with park managers. The motivating goal was to design into the looping project some aspect of environmental improvement that would result in a net benefit to the ecological conditions of the two parks, more than compensating for the residual disturbance which would be caused by the looping after mitigation. The central concept was that of a “conservation offset” (also known as “biodiversity offset”), which has been defined as: “conservation actions intended to compensate for the residual, unavoidable harm to biodiversity caused by development projects, so as to ensure no net loss of biodiversity.” This paper reviews the history of the discussions and planning which took place, considers the adequacy of the outcomes, and suggest lessons for using conservation offsets as a means to align proponent and stakeholder interests and improve environmental outcomes for linear projects beyond the prospects offered by mitigation alone.

Full textAbstract:
Komedya, or moro-moro, is a genre of the Philippine national theater that was flourishing from the second half of the 17th century until the second half of the 19th century. The genre formation was a part of catholic missioners propaganda activities. In time, komedya became the most popular dramatic genre in colonial Philippines. The common features of komedya are: 1) the central theme of komedya is fight between Christians and Muslims, where Christians always win; 2) actions described in komedya never take place in the Philippines, but in an exotic country, for instance in Turkey or in Armenia; 3) Spanish missioners played an important role in the formation of the genre; 4) komedya is the national theater; 5) komedya is a secular genre as adventures dominate over the religious motives. In the middle of the 19th century komedya was criticized by the most progressive Filipinos for being extravagant, lacking logic and not touching upon current Philippine problems. By the beginning of the 20th century komedya was not staged anymore almost everywhere in the Philippines. Its place was taken by the other genres. A number of actions to bring komedya back to its former popularity have been undertaken from the 1970s with the great support of the cultural center of the Philippines and University of the Philippines. It is important to mention that the genre is being changed in order to correspond the needs of the modern Philippine society. For example, the Muslim conflict is not the main topic of the modern Philippine national play as it contradicts the national policy of the Philippines.

Introdução: O câncer é uma das doenças que apresentam maior morbimortalidade, responsável por 9.6 milhões de mortes e 18 milhões de novos casos em 2018, estando entre as quatro principais causas de mortes prematuras (antes dos 70 anos de idade), um em cada cinco mortes no mundo é relacionada a doença. A incidência e a mortalidade têm aumentado e seus principais motivos são o envelhecimento populacional e prevalência dos fatores de risco (predisposição genética, consumo de álcool, tabaco, dieta, sedentarismo e como também o papiloma vírus humano (HPV).(1, 2) De maneira geral, os tumores são resultados de mutações em certos pontos do genoma, principalmente naqueles que estão diretamente relacionados ao mecanismo de reparo do DNA e apoptose celular que ocasiona multiplicação anormal de algum tipo de célula, podendo ocorrer migração para outras partes do corpo, se desenvolvendo fora do local de origem (metástase).(3) Objetivos: descrever a contribuição do sistema Crispr Cas-9 nos avanços da oncologia. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de literatura que consultou a base de dados Us National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (Pubmed) de 2016 até 2021. Resultados: A pesquisa realizada por Williams e Largaespada fez uso do sistema CRISPR CAS-9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) para a ampliação dos tratamentos da neurofibromatose causada por mutações no gene supressor de tumor NF1 (codifica a neurofibromina).(4) Já Xiao, Chen e Cui lançaram mão da CRISPR CAS-9 para a depleção do mRNA-21 em carcinoma nasofaringe tendo êxito em suprimir o crescimento celular, bem como sua proliferação nas células CNE2. Ao comparar com grupo controle com o grupo experimental (sgRNA-mir-21) notou-se que expressões de Bcl-2 e Bcl-L diminuíram e a Caspase-3 foi ativada e esses resultados implicaram que o knockdown direcionado do miR-21 foram capazes de induzir apoptose nas células alvos.(5) Conclusões: Levando-se em consideração o que foi abordado, fica evidente que apesar do câncer ser uma doença multifatorial, o novo mosaico que a biotecnologia emergente CRSPR CAS-9 proporciona é um grande diferencial já que pode levar a conhecer as doenças por pontos que antes não eram possíveis e como também transformar o modo de combate-las.

La présente recherche porte sur l’étude comparative des aspects socioculturels de l’emploi des mots liés au champ lexical de l’eau en français et en russe. Nous partons de la représentation de la langue-culture comme d’un continu permettant de relever les particularités de la vision du monde des sujets parlants à travers les connotations et les emplois des mots dans des contextes différents. Ce sont les aspects affectif, imagé, mais aussi l’aspect évocateur, ou « de milieu » que nous avons choisi comme points de repère dans notre recherche. Nous utilisons dans notre démarche les données de dictionnaires et procédons à l’analyse des proverbes, dictons, expressions imagées et des contes français et russes pour découvrir les particularités du monde imaginaire, des associations nationales dans les langues-cultures respectives (il s’agit de la convergence totale, partielle ou absence de convergence de l’image. Cette étude devrait être complétée par l’emploi terminologique des mots et expressions du champ lexical de l’eau qui sont, dans la langue française, très souvent formés par la voie métaphorique (vive-eau, morte-eau signifiant la marée montante ou descendante, eau morte et eau vive renvoyant à l’eau stagnante ou l’eau qui coule), alors que la langue russe préfère réserver l’image au langage de la littérature (eau vive et morte dans les contes russes). De plus, les mots appartenant au champ lexical de l’eau sont largement employés en français dans la sphère de finances (verser, versement, liquidités, flux financiers, etc.) et, moins largement, en russe (sous forme d’emprunts, calques le plus souvent). Ces investigations de termes « aquatiques » dans les deux langues permettront de relever les nuances de leur emploi et de leurs connotations dont la connaissance est d’une grande importance pour les traducteurs.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3792

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: Alternativas diversas vêm sendo testadas, como método de adição gênica na busca da substituição de genes TP53 mutantes de potencialidade cancerosa por similaridades que não causem qualquer efeito genotóxico no indivíduo. Tais genes se localizam no cromossomo 17, e tem sido associados à diferentes tipos de neoplasias devido ao grande número de variações apresentadas, principalmente entre os éxons 5 e 8. Objetivos: Alternativas diversas vêm sendo testadas, como método de adição gênica na busca da substituição de genes TP53 mutantes de potencialidade cancerosa por similaridades que não causem qualquer efeito genotóxico no indivíduo. A CRISPR/Cas9 é um dos mecanismos de edição gênica mais utilizados, que consiste na clivagem do gene afetado e substituição por um gene normal guiada pelo mecanismo de reparo DSB (Clivagem da dupla cadeia). Materiais e Métodos:: Revisão biliográfica de pesquisas envolvendo métodos genéticos para redução da expressão tumoral através da análise de artigos e publicações em revistas científicas, recursos disponíveis no National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), PUBMED e Mouse Models of Human Cancer Database (MMHCdb). Foram palavras chave para a pesquisa das publicações: p53; biologia de tumores em camundongos; CRISPR e o câncer; supressão de tumor p53, dentre outros. Resultados e Discussão: Um número significativo de publicações é encontrado na literatura envolvendo papel do gene p53 no funcionamento celular normal e neoplásico, envolvendo praticamente todos os tipos de células. Outros recursos têm sido explorados em busca de uma alternativa clínica para a supressão tumoral e o controle de crescimento celular. Uma dessas possibilidades envolve o método de edição gênica CRISPR Cas9, tendo como principal foco o silenciamento de oncogenes, avaliando a supressão tumoral in vitro e in vivo. Conclusão: Os avanços científicos têm auxiliado no combate à cânceres, seja com o diagnóstico precoce, descoberta de novas drogas ou imunoterapia. Muitas técnicas tem sido aplicadas nas pesquisas e o cenário é otimista, sendo necessário mais estudos e recursos para que no futuro haja a possibilidade da redução drástica das mais de 9.6 milhões de mortes em todo o mundo.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O metotrexato é uma droga antineoplásica classificada como antimetabólito, estruturalmente análogo ao ácido fólico, o MTX inibe uma enzima (diidrofolato-redutase), que é responsável por transformar a forma inativa do ácido fólico (diidrofolato) em forma ativa (tetraidrofolato). A forma ativa é utilizada na produção de nucleotídeos purinas. As purinas são essenciais para a replicação do DNA da célula. Portanto, o MTX inibe a produção dos nucleotídeos purinas o que impossibilita a replicação do DNA da célula, interrompendo o crescimento celular. Objetivo: Enfatizar a veracidade do uso do MTX nos diversos tipos de câncer bem como comprovar seu efeito benéfico no tratamento farmacológico. Metodologia: Estudo embasado em dados da revisão sistemática da literatura provida das bases de dados Medline e Science Direct, PubMed (National Library of Medicine) e SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) no período entre janeiro e maio de 2021. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram “Antineoplásicos”, “Câncer”, “Metotrexato” e “Quimioterápicos”. Resultados: A quimioterapia antineoplásica com o MTX é amplamente utilizada no tratamento de vários cânceres. Esse tratamento é utilizado em doses o mais próximo possível das doses máximas individuais toleradas e devem ser administrados com a maior frequência possível para desestimular o novo crescimento do tumor. Dentre os cânceres que abrange o uso do metotrexato são: Câncer de mama, leucemia linfoblástica, sarcoma, bexiga, cabeça e pescoço, leucemia aguda, linfoma não Hodgkins, neoplasias trofoblásticas gestacionais etc. Conclusão: Desse modo o MTX atua como bloqueador da duplicação celular, impedindo o crescimento tumoral, assim como o surgimento de metástases nas doenças oncológicas e portanto diminuindo o risco de morte pela doença. O paciente deve ser informado sobre os riscos envolvidos e estar sob a supervisão constante do médico, onde o mesmo tem por obrigação enfatizar sobre as possibilidades de reações tóxicas sérias bem como a toxicidade do medicamento em questão.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: A pandemia do SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavírus 2, causador da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave) tornou-se um grande desafio na área da saúde, pela alta taxa de transmissão viral e letalidade significativa. Nesse contexto, o desenvolvimento de vacinas eficazes é essencial como abordagem decisiva para o controle da mortalidade e da própria pandemia. Assim, é necessário o entendimento de alguns princípios imunológicos, entre eles o mecanismo de ação e os alvos moleculares das vacinas, bem como o conhecimento do vírus e sua estrutura, principalmente suas proteínas “spike” (cuja função é mediar a entrada na célula hospedeira). Objetivos: Realizar um levantamento bibliográfico referente às vacinas disponíveis e em desenvolvimento contra o SARS-Cov-2, destacando seus mecanismos de ação e alvos moleculares no processo de resposta imunológica. Material e métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura incluindo artigos em inglês relacionados ao desenvolvimento das vacinas contra o SARS-Cov-2, com ênfase nos aspectos imunopatológicos, publicados desde 2020. Como ferramenta de busca foi utilizada a base de dados eletrônica National Library of Medicine, utilizando-se os descritores: “COVID-19”; “Immune response”; “Immunopathology”; “SARS-CoV-2” e “Vaccines”. Resultados: Diversos mecanismos de ação foram estudados no desenvolvimento dessas vacinas. Vacinas de mRNA utilizam a transcrição e tradução, respectivamente, de glicoproteína S, S do tipo selvagem e proteínas estruturais S, M (membrana) e E (envelope) como antígenos do vírus para desencadear a resposta imunológica. Vacinas de Partículas Semelhantes a Vírus (Virus-Like Particles - VLPs) são estruturas proteicas que imitam a estrutura do vírus real sem capacidade infecciosa, induzindo resposta imune por meio da ativação células B ou T, com envolvimento de células T citotóxicas CD8+. Vacinas de vetores não replicantes utilizam comumente o vetor adenoviral para gerar respostas imunes humoral e celular. Há, também, vacinas à base de proteína recombinante e aquelas envolvendo o patógeno atenuado vivo, esta última promove a mesma resposta imune anterior. Por fim, vacinas inativadas utilizam inativação completa ou morte do patógeno para produção de anticorpos contra determinantes antigênicos de glicoproteína hemaglutinina na superfície do vírus. Conclusão: O desenvolvimento de vacinas contra COVID-19 caracterizou-se pelo aprimoramento biotecnológico, pois mecanismos citológicos foram estudados como fator imunológico.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O atual contexto da saúde está atrelado à pandemia do novo coronavírus, denominado SARS-COV-2, e causador da doença COVID-19. Possui ação multissistêmica, acometendo principalmente o sistema respiratório. A doença varia da forma assintomática à casos muito severos, podendo levar à morte. Objetivo: Realizar levantamento bibliográfico referente às principais implicações e sequelas da COVID-19 em pacientes acometidos pelo coronavírus SARS-COV-2. Material e métodos: O estudo consistiu em uma revisão de literatura integrativa, combinando rigorosamente estudos com diversas metodologias, integrando os resultados. A pesquisa foi realizada com estudos científicos originais, artigos de revisão, e artigos eletrônicos, de 2019 a 2020, e incluiu pesquisas expostas nas bases de dados Science Direct, National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health dos EUA (PUBMED), Literatura LatinoAmericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde-BVS. No direcionamento da pesquisa, foram utilizados seis descritores: “Acute Kidney Injury” “Covid-19”, “Cardiovascular Diseases”, “Infectious Diseases”, “Pathology Neurologic” e “Respiratory System”, pesquisados isoladamente ou associados, e seus respectivos em português, localizando-se no total 15 estudos relacionados com a temática em foco. Resultados: As sequelas englobaram os campos biopsicológico dos indivíduos, com alterações nos sistemas respiratório, cardiovascular, renal, musculoesquelético e neurológico. Dentre as de maior repercussão estavam a fibrose pulmonar, com consequente redução da capacidade pulmonar, a sobrecarga miocárdica, o acidente vascular cerebral, a encefalopatia, a depressão e transtornos de ansiedade. As repercussões da doença possuíam causas multifatoriais, dentre elas estavam os antecedentes mórbidos pessoais, o grau de resposta inflamatória na COVID-19 com liberadores bioquímicos, repercutindo em complicações que necessitaram de intervenção intensiva e multiprofissional. A síndrome pós-UTI muito frequentemente foi vista nesta patologia devido ao grande intervalo de internação e aos procedimentos realizados nesses pacientes. Pacientes com quadro moderado da infecção também apresentaram latência para a recuperação plena e desenvolveram sequelas. Conclusão: De maneira geral, os pacientes com COVID-19 são passíveis de ter comprometimento em diversos órgãos e sistemas, o que determinará a gravidade da doença. Nesse contexto, abre-se uma discussão sobre a reabilitação dos recuperados, onde as possíveis sequelas geradas mobilizarão amplamente estratégias de saúde pública, com abordagem multiprofissional.

Full textAbstract:
The approval of the National Plan for Traditional Architecture (2014) gave a boost to the recognition of this heritage and provided a consensual methodological tool for its safeguarding. This text included a programme for the recovery of traditional construction systems and underlined the need for a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to their treatment. As a precedent in Andalusia, the Inventory of Popular Architecture (1994-1997) was a pioneering project to document these buildings and the activities they housed, highlighting the capacity of techniques, knowledge and objects to adapt to the environmental characteristics of the territory. Subsequently, the Atlas of the Intangible Heritage of Andalusia (2009-2014) collected a significant number of construction techniques and traditional trades linked to this vernacular architecture. This contribution is presented within the framework of two projects coordinated by the IAPH: LAPat, open laboratory of heritage and SIN-PAR, Innovation System for the Heritage of Rural Andalusia. Their common objective is to analyse social innovation related to architecture and traditional trades and the interaction of diverse stakeholders for their safeguarding. They both recognise the local community as the protagonist in safeguarding, enhancing these practices as an efficient response to the demographic challenge in the rural world. We will focus on three case studies: the dry stone technique in the province of Almería, the raw earth construction in Andalusia, and the artisanal production of lime in Morón de la Frontera. The ultimate aim is to strengthen the transmission of knowledge of these constructive techniques and to reveal their link with socio-territorial development.

Vegetation classification at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Mojave National Preserve, Castle Mountains National Monument, and Death Valley National Park: Final report (Revised with Cost Estimate). National Park Service, October 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2279201.
Full textAbstract:
Vegetation inventory and mapping is a process to document the composition, distribution and abundance of vegetation types across the landscape. The National Park Service’s (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) program has determined vegetation inventory and mapping to be an important resource for parks; it is one of 12 baseline inventories of natural resources to be completed for all 270 national parks within the NPS I&M program. The Mojave Desert Network Inventory & Monitoring (MOJN I&M) began its process of vegetation inventory in 2009 for four park units as follows: Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LAKE), Mojave National Preserve (MOJA), Castle Mountains National Monument (CAMO), and Death Valley National Park (DEVA). Mapping is a multi-step and multi-year process involving skills and interactions of several parties, including NPS, with a field ecology team, a classification team, and a mapping team. This process allows for compiling existing vegetation data, collecting new data to fill in gaps, and analyzing the data to develop a classification that then informs the mapping. The final products of this process include a vegetation classification, ecological descriptions and field keys of the vegetation types, and geospatial vegetation maps based on the classification. In this report, we present the narrative and results of the sampling and classification effort. In three other associated reports (Evens et al. 2020a, 2020b, 2020c) are the ecological descriptions and field keys. The resulting products of the vegetation mapping efforts are, or will be, presented in separate reports: mapping at LAKE was completed in 2016, mapping at MOJA and CAMO will be completed in 2020, and mapping at DEVA will occur in 2021. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and NatureServe, the classification team, have completed the vegetation classification for these four park units, with field keys and descriptions of the vegetation types developed at the alliance level per the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC). We have compiled approximately 9,000 existing and new vegetation data records into digital databases in Microsoft Access. The resulting classification and descriptions include approximately 105 alliances and landform types, and over 240 associations. CNPS also has assisted the mapping teams during map reconnaissance visits, follow-up on interpreting vegetation patterns, and general support for the geospatial vegetation maps being produced. A variety of alliances and associations occur in the four park units. Per park, the classification represents approximately 50 alliances at LAKE, 65 at MOJA and CAMO, and 85 at DEVA. Several riparian alliances or associations that are somewhat rare (ranked globally as G3) include shrublands of Pluchea sericea, meadow associations with Distichlis spicata and Juncus cooperi, and woodland associations of Salix laevigata and Prosopis pubescens along playas, streams, and springs. Other rare to somewhat rare types (G2 to G3) include shrubland stands with Eriogonum heermannii, Buddleja utahensis, Mortonia utahensis, and Salvia funerea on rocky calcareous slopes that occur sporadically in LAKE to MOJA and DEVA. Types that are globally rare (G1) include the associations of Swallenia alexandrae on sand dunes and Hecastocleis shockleyi on rocky calcareous slopes in DEVA. Two USNVC vegetation groups hold the highest number of alliances: 1) Warm Semi-Desert Shrub & Herb Dry Wash & Colluvial Slope Group (G541) has nine alliances, and 2) Mojave Mid-Elevation Mixed Desert Scrub Group (G296) has thirteen alliances. These two groups contribute significantly to the diversity of vegetation along alluvial washes and mid-elevation transition zones.

Full textAbstract:
In the second quarter, annual inflation (9.67%), the technical staff’s projections and its expectations continued to increase, remaining above the target. International cost shocks, accentuated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have been more persistent than projected, thus contributing to higher inflation. The effects of indexation, higher than estimated excess demand, a tighter labor market, inflation expectations that continue to rise and currently exceed 3%, and the exchange rate pressures add to those described above. High core inflation measures as well as in the producer price index (PPI) across all baskets confirm a significant spread in price increases. Compared to estimates presented in April, the new forecast trajectory for headline and core inflation increased. This was partly the result of greater exchange rate pressure on prices, and a larger output gap, which is expected to remain positive for the remainder of 2022 and which is estimated to close towards yearend 2023. In addition, these trends take into account higher inflation rate indexation, more persistent above-target inflation expectations, a quickening of domestic fuel price increases due to the correction of lags versus the parity price and higher international oil price forecasts. The forecast supposes a good domestic supply of perishable foods, although it also considers that international prices of processed foods will remain high. In terms of the goods sub-basket, the end of the national health emergency implies a reversal of the value-added tax (VAT) refund applied to health and personal hygiene products, resulting in increases in the prices of these goods. Alternatively, the monetary policy adjustment process and the moderation of external shocks would help inflation and its expectations to begin to decrease over time and resume their alignment with the target. Thus, the new projection suggests that inflation could remain high for the second half of 2022, closing at 9.7%. However, it would begin to fall during 2023, closing the year at 5.7%. These forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty, especially regarding the future behavior of external cost shocks, the degree of indexation of nominal contracts and decisions made regarding the domestic price of fuels. Economic activity continues to outperform expectations, and the technical staff’s growth projections for 2022 have been revised upwards from 5% to 6.9%. The new forecasts suggest higher output levels that would continue to exceed the economy’s productive capacity for the remainder of 2022. Economic growth during the first quarter was above that estimated in April, while economic activity indicators for the second quarter suggest that the GDP could be expected to remain high, potentially above that of the first quarter. Domestic demand is expected to maintain a positive dynamic, in particular, due to the household consumption quarterly growth, as suggested by vehicle registrations, retail sales, credit card purchases and consumer loan disbursement figures. A slowdown in the machinery and equipment imports from the levels observed in March contrasts with the positive performance of sales and housing construction licenses, which indicates an investment level similar to that registered for the first three months of the year. International trade data suggests the trade deficit would be reduced as a consequence of import levels that would be lesser than those observed in the first quarter, and stable export levels. For the remainder of the year and 2023, a deceleration in consumption is expected from the high levels seen during the first half of the year, partially as a result of lower repressed demand, tighter domestic financial conditions and household available income deterioration due to increased inflation. Investment is expected to continue its slow recovery while remaining below pre-pandemic levels. The trade deficit is expected to tighten due to projected lower domestic demand dynamics, and high prices of oil and other basic goods exported by the country. Given the above, economic growth in the second quarter of 2022 would be 11.5%, and for 2022 and 2023 an annual growth of 6.9% and 1.1% is expected, respectively. Currently, and for the remainder of 2022, the output gap would be positive and greater than that estimated in April, and prices would be affected by demand pressures. These projections continue to be affected by significant uncertainty associated with global political tensions, the expected adjustment of monetary policy in developed countries, external demand behavior, changes in country risk outlook, and the future developments in domestic fiscal policy, among others. The high inflation levels and respective expectations, which exceed the target of the world's main central banks, largely explain the observed and anticipated increase in their monetary policy interest rates. This environment has tempered the growth forecast for external demand. Disruptions in value chains, rising international food and energy prices, and expansionary monetary and fiscal policies have contributed to the rise in inflation and above-target expectations seen by several of Colombia’s main trading partners. These cost and price shocks, heightened by the effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have been more prevalent than expected and have taken place within a set of output and employment recovery, variables that in some countries currently equal or exceed their projected long-term levels. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve accelerated the pace of the benchmark interest rate increase and rapidly reduced liquidity levels in the money market. Financial market actors expect this behavior to continue and, consequently, significantly increase their expectations of the average path of the Fed's benchmark interest rate. In this setting, the U.S. dollar appreciated versus the peso in the second quarter and emerging market risk measures increased, a behavior that intensified for Colombia. Given the aforementioned, for the remainder of 2022 and 2023, the Bank's technical staff increased the forecast trajectory for the Fed's interest rate and reduced the country's external demand growth forecast. The projected oil price was revised upward over the forecast horizon, specifically due to greater supply restrictions and the interruption of hydrocarbon trade between the European Union and Russia. Global geopolitical tensions, a tightening of monetary policy in developed economies, the increase in risk perception for emerging markets and the macroeconomic imbalances in the country explain the increase in the projected trajectory of the risk premium, its trend level and the neutral real interest rate1. Uncertainty about external forecasts and their consequent impact on the country's macroeconomic scenario remains high, given the unpredictable evolution of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, the degree of the global economic slowdown and the effect the response to recent outbreaks of the pandemic in some Asian countries may have on the world economy. This macroeconomic scenario that includes high inflation, inflation forecasts, and expectations above 3% and a positive output gap suggests the need for a contractionary monetary policy that mitigates the risk of the persistent unanchoring of inflation expectations. In contrast to the forecasts of the April report, the increase in the risk premium trend implies a higher neutral real interest rate and a greater prevailing monetary stimulus than previously estimated. For its part, domestic demand has been more dynamic, with a higher observed and expected output level that exceeds the economy’s productive capacity. The surprising accelerations in the headline and core inflation reflect stronger and more persistent external shocks, which, in combination with the strength of aggregate demand, indexation, higher inflation expectations and exchange rate pressures, explain the upward projected inflation trajectory at levels that exceed the target over the next two years. This is corroborated by the inflation expectations of economic analysts and those derived from the public debt market, which continued to climb and currently exceed 3%. All of the above increase the risk of unanchoring inflation expectations and could generate widespread indexation processes that may push inflation away from the target for longer. This new macroeconomic scenario suggests that the interest rate adjustment should continue towards a contractionary monetary policy landscape. 1.2. Monetary policy decision Banco de la República’s Board of Directors (BDBR), at its meetings in June and July 2022, decided to continue adjusting its monetary policy. At its June meeting, the BDBR decided to increase the monetary policy rate by 150 basis points (b.p.) and its July meeting by majority vote, on a 150 b.p. increase thereof at its July meeting. Consequently, the monetary policy interest rate currently stands at 9.0% . 1 The neutral real interest rate refers to the real interest rate level that is neither stimulative nor contractionary for aggregate demand and, therefore, does not generate pressures that lead to the close of the output gap. In a small, open economy like Colombia, this rate depends on the external neutral real interest rate, medium-term components of the country risk premium, and expected depreciation.
