Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are strongly criticized by political ecology scholars. Predominantly, their critique is rooted in notions of distributive justice, as they focus on the negative impact (e.g. land rights distribution) of PES for indigenous and other local communities. Many liberal supporters of PES do not deny that these problems are real. However, they put more emphasis on procedural justice and claim that PES may trigger an institutionalization of more inclusive dialogic procedures. As of yet, both strands of literature underestimate the impact of the postcolonial conditions in which many Pes projects are situated. This is where our article steps in. We investigate initial PES politics in Mato Grosso do Sul, a Brazilian province dominated by ongoing settler colonialism. Our research results indicate that the implementation of inclusive procedures in PES projects may partially mitigate the consequences of ongoing settler colonialism but that this more frequently fails because of its being embedded into the structures of a colonially shaped political economy. Although PES occasionally empower indigenous actors to confront local elites more effectively and strengthen the rights of indigenous women, the resulting transformations within the communities themselves are likely to weaken their political self-organization.


The speech valve can be safe and effective for tracheostomized, conscious patients with tolerance to deflated cuff. It can be coupled between 48 and 72 hours after tracheostomy, depending on the airway permeability. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the impact of the use of the speech valve on adult patients hospitalized in the city of Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, aiming at swallowing, reintroduction of diet orally in a safe way and decannulation. Method: The longitudinal method with indirect and direct evaluation with PAP, PITA, PARD, BLUE DAY TEST, DECANULATION PROTOCOL AND SCALE was used in adult and hospitalized patients. Results: Regarding the criterion of time for decannulation, after the beginning of the training with the speech valve, we consider the following findings. All patients decannulated within a maximum of 15 days after the use of the speech valve. All started oral feeding in a maximum of 7 days after using the speech valve. And SNE was removed in all patients within 15 days after using the speech valve. There is evidence that the use of the speech valve has positive impacts on the swallowing process, reintroduction of the diet orally in a safe way and on the decannulation process. Conclusion: It was concluded that the use of the speech valve brought benefits to patients, in addition to facilitating the phonation process and the adjustment of the respiratory pattern closer to the physiological one before decannulation has an importance in swallowing and a decrease in the time of swallowing. Decannulation.

Abstract: In the early 2000s, sugarcane experienced high growth in Brazil and Mato Grosso do Sul experienced the highest growth, with a 398%% increase. We analysed the impact of the sugarcane industry on formal employment and wages in Mato Grosso do Sul between 2008 and 2014. We used a Normalized Concentration Index (nCI) decomposed into Location Quotient (LQ), modified Hirschman Herfindahl Index (HHm), and Relative Participation (RP). Data were collected in the Annual Report on Social Information (RAIS). The nCI allows a general perception of concentration since LQ and HHm give greater weight to small municipalities with few activities, and the RP underestimates the importance of industry for these same municipalities. Thus, the municipality of Dourados, the second largest in the state, had an RP of 9%, but low LQ and HHm. The sugarcane industry plays an essential role in the economy of small towns, where it generates most of the formal jobs, with higher salaries. However, the impact is concentrated in a few small cities. Another effect is the fast disappearance of the benefits of the sugarcane industry in areas where processing units were closed. The dependence of the sugarcane industry in small municipalities is a concern whose solution should be further studied.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

O espaço correspondente ao atual Estado brasileiro de Mato Grosso do Sul foi incorporado, no século XVI, aos circuitos do Paraguai colonial, mas, já no século XVII, no contexto que S. B. de Holanda denomina refluxo assuncenho, a presença espanhola foi sendo substituída pela luso-brasileira, passando, portanto, essa região a vincular-se, ainda que de m o do inicialmente tênue, ao sudeste da América portuguesa. Em meados d o século XIX, c om a liberação da navegação brasileira pelo rio Paraguai, essa região voltou, de certo modo, a fazer parte do espaço platino. O presente trabalho busca evidenciar que, a despeito das notáveis mudanças induzidas pela livre navegação, esse último período de vinculação ao espaço platino constituiu, na verdade, uma espécie de "hiato", no interior do processo mais longo, representado pela vinculação com o mercado nacional brasileiro.

O presente artigo, realizado com apoio da Fundação Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul – UFMS/MEC – Brasil, é resultado dos estudos acerca da participação feminina em diferentes frentes de luta contra a ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985). Ao longo das últimas décadas, importantes contribuições para se pensar o protagonismo feminino durante a ditadura passaram a ser produzidas, permitindo o surgimento de novas perspectivas e abordagens de análise. Assim, ao pensarmos a história das mulheres no referido período, devemos observar os códigos de conduta que as cerceavam e as práticas de resistência que rompiam tanto no cenário político, público, quanto cultural, patriarcal. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a participação e a resistência feminina na Guerrilha do Araguaia.
