The One

Could there be a win-win situation for both pension funds and the Swiss forestry sector? On the one hand, developments in the forestry sector suggest that the Swiss forest presents a new lucrative investment opportunity. If this is so, then pension funds could be particularly interested, as the low correlation between Swiss forest and other classes of investment, and the long investment periods involved are ideal for pension fund portfolios. On the other hand, large investments made by pension funds could mean that existing problems in Swiss forestry, in connection with its fragmented nature, could be more rapidly solved, and the potential for rationalization in the wood value chain could be fully realized. This would in turn make investments in the forest even more profitable. This hypothesis was investigated through a comprehensive literature analysis, yield calculations for private forestry enterprises of over 50 ha made by the Swiss Federal Office for Statistics 2004–2008, and an interview with the investments director of a large Swiss pension fund. Despite the optimistic assumption that the greater efficiency gained by the investment of pension funds into the forestry sector could lead to costs lower by 50% and a 20% increase in profits, the hypothesis must be rejected, because a calculated annual return of only 0.82% is too low for pension funds. The conclusion is that the price for forest land is high, and forest owners are not only interested in the monetary value of holding forest. Other immaterial values influence prices. It is suggested that a greater emphasis on socioscientific studies concerning the link between the price of forest land and the motivation to buy and sell forest could lead to some important findings.

O câncer de mama é o tipo de câncer mais comum e incidente mundialmente entre as mulheres. Da suspeita do câncer de mama ao pós-tratamento ocorrem efeitos deletérios à saúde física e psicológica, com influência na qualidade de vida das pacientes. O objetivo desde estudo foi investigar o comportamento de variáveis psicológicas e qualidade de vida de brasileiras no diagnóstico, tratamento e sobrevivência do câncer de mama. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura pelas bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud e Scientific Electronic Library Online, pelo termo “câncer de mama” associado a termos emocionais e cognitivos e qualidade de vida. Foram selecionados 36 artigos. Os resultados apontam que, em todas as etapas do câncer de mama, brasileiras apresentam reações emocionais de surpresa, medo, indignação, distúrbios com imagem corporal e ansiedade, que podem estar associadas à relação médico-paciente. Além disso, constatou-se que o enfrentamento da doença ocorre com auxílio da família e da religião. Concluiu-se que as mulheres brasileiras diagnosticadas, em tratamento ou sobreviventes do câncer de mama sofrem diversos impactos emocionais, psicológicos e físicos, que resultam na redução da qualidade de vida dessas pacientes. Palavras-chave: Neoplasias da mama. Adaptação psicológica. Emoções. Qualidade de vida.

Nanostructured Metal

Magnesium-based batteries represent one of the successfully emerging electrochemical energy storage chemistries, mainly due to the high theoretical volumetric capacity of metallic magnesium (i.e., 3833 mAh cm−3 vs. 2046 mAh cm−3 for lithium), its low reduction potential (−2.37 V vs. SHE), abundance in the Earth’s crust (104 times higher than that of lithium) and dendrite-free behaviour when used as an anode during cycling. However, Mg deposition and dissolution processes in polar organic electrolytes lead to the formation of a passivation film bearing an insulating effect towards Mg2+ ions. Several strategies to overcome this drawback have been recently proposed, keeping as a main goal that of reducing the formation of such passivation layers and improving the magnesium-related kinetics. This manuscript offers a literature analysis on this topic, starting with a rapid overview on magnesium batteries as a feasible strategy for storing electricity coming from renewables, and then addressing the most relevant outcomes in the field of anodic materials (i.e., metallic magnesium, bismuth-, titanium- and tin-based electrodes, biphasic alloys, nanostructured metal oxides, boron clusters, graphene-based electrodes, etc.).
