Proven Method

Releasing sterile or incompatible male insects is a proven method of population management in agricultural systems with the potential to revolutionize mosquito control. Through a collaborative venture with the “Debug” Verily Life Sciences team, we assessed the incompatible insect technique (IIT) with the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti in northern Australia in a replicated treatment control field trial. Backcrossing a US strain of Ae. aegypti carrying Wolbachia wAlbB from Aedes albopictus with a local strain, we generated a wAlbB2-F4 strain incompatible with both the wild-type (no Wolbachia) and wMel-Wolbachia Ae. aegypti now extant in North Queensland. The wAlbB2-F4 strain was manually mass reared with males separated from females using Verily sex-sorting technologies to obtain no detectable female contamination in the field. With community consent, we delivered a total of three million IIT males into three isolated landscapes of over 200 houses each, releasing ∼50 males per house three times a week over 20 wk. Detecting initial overflooding ratios of between 5:1 and 10:1, strong population declines well beyond 80% were detected across all treatment landscapes when compared to controls. Monitoring through the following season to observe the ongoing effect saw one treatment landscape devoid of adult Ae. aegypti early in the season. A second landscape showed reduced adults, and the third recovered fully. These encouraging results in suppressing both wild-type and wMel-Ae. aegypti confirms the utility of bidirectional incompatibility in the field setting, show the IIT to be robust, and indicate that the removal of this arbovirus vector from human-occupied landscapes may be achievable.

Historical Trajectory

A partir da análise de um programa de colonização particular, o texto mostra como sedimentou-se uma determinada memória histórica sobre os agentes que estabeleceram-se numa fração do território ao oeste do Paraná, entre os anos de 1946 e 1960. Ressaltam, através do estudo de narrativas que enfocaram este processo, os mecanismos de estruturação de um consenso de comunidade, o qual se construiu no interrelacionamento entre colonizadores e colonos migrantes. Os valores étnicos e culturais de tais agentes (alemães e italianos; protestantes e católicos) permearam a estruturação de discursos homogêneos, nos quais as imagens de uma “raça nova de brasileiros”, do “melhor tipo de colono que o Paraná necessita”, são exemplos que integram tal construção. Mais importante: tais imagens serviram de base para a sedimentação de determinada memória histórica que retrata o processo de constituição social e política desse espaço. O estudo busca mostrar, a partir da análise da trajetória histórica desses discursos caracterizadores, os aspectos constituintes e construtores da memória oficializada. Abstract Starting from the analysis of a program of private colonization, the text shows as it formed sediment a certain historical memory on the agents that settled down in a fraction of the territory to the west of Paraná, among the years from 1946 to 1960. It stands out, through the study of narratives that focused this process, the mechanisms of structuring of a community consent, which it was built in the interrelationship between settlers and migrating colonists. The such agents’ ethnic and cultural values (German and Italian; Protestants and Catholic) they permeated the structuring of homogeneous speeches, us which the images of a “ new race of Brazilians “, of the “ better colonist type than Paraná needs “, are examples that integrate such construction. More important: such images served as base for the sedimentation certain historical memory that portrays the process of social and politic constitution of this space. The study search to show, starting from the analysis of the historical trajectory of these speeches caracterizadores, the constituent and building aspects of the made official memory.

This thesis investigates the methodological narrowness used to interpret social license failure in the mining sector. Using a mixture of Actor-Network Theory (ANT), Poststructuralist theory, Political Settlement theory and knowledge from the mining industry, it investigates the core premises of existing models of social license, finding them lacking. It details challenges facing the mining sector, highlighting a disjoint operationally at a temporal level and spatial level between communities and industry. Representing the inability of the sector to address social licence failure as evidence of ontological narrowness in assessments of local community consent, it demonstrates it is the totality of relationships around the mine project that is critical. A new model predicated on a Political Settlement framework at a meso level, is created and populated as a visual model with icons. These icons, make up within the Social License Settlement Model (SLSM), a representation of the dynamic balancing act of relationships defining social license. The model is set in Thirdspace, reflecting that different participants have different perceptions of space, time and symbolism. The model was tested by showing how a social license was not solely about the mine and local communities but wider relationships. An examination of Rosa Montana mine project failure in Romania as it joined the EU, demonstrated that the process of ascension caused aspects of civil society to change, making securing a social license more difficult. Field research in Serbia, in a similar position in 2018 to Romania in terms of EU membership when Rosa Montana failed, with State mine regulator officials, private sector mine development actors and people living adjacent to mining projects. Similar issues with civil society appear likely to develop in Serbia, driven by the introduction of transnational environmental regulation. The SLSM captures how this might be avoided and mitigated.
