This work is part of the activities that were agreed within the scope of the University Network of the Latin American Route (UniRila), and was developed specifically as a proposal for Dossier II. This research is also linked to the development of the Master Plan of Porto Murtinho-MS, specifically the axis of Cultural Historical Heritage, the result of an inter-institutional partnership. In this context, the aim is to analyze current normative acts for the preservation of historical and cultural heritage in the three administrative spheres, using the qualitative approach methodology with bibliographic and documentary research. One of the great challenges of the Bioceanic Route Integration will be the efficient updating of policies for the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage, in order to maintain the cultural integrity of the local population. Thus, it is understood the need to stimulate local development, through cultural and social capital, aiming at a participatory democracy. Heritage education is part of this context as an instrument for disseminating information and knowledge, and when supported by public and private agents and social actors, they are certainly decisive in the struggle arising from issues related to cultural vulnerability.

As part of the studies developed by the University Network of the Latin American Integration Route (UniRila), this proposal intends to contextualize the municipality of Porto Murtinho in the process of occupation of the interior of the South American continent, understanding the Latin American Integration Route (RILA) as the culminating event of the process of territorialization-deterritorialization-reterritorialization of the region. For this purpose, historical, economic, geographic and geological aspects are considered, without which the conditions of urbanization would not be fully understood and public policies would be deficient. Thus, it is intended to draw attention to the impact that the production and export of commodities has on the territory in question.

The editors would simply like to conclude our second issue, Archaeology and Ethnography of Cultural Heritage Management, by thanking the people who were instrumental in putting this issue together. Special thanks go to Paul Shackel and David Gadsby of the University of Maryland for recruiting experts in cultural heritage research and practice among their colleagues, and for prodding them along as needed. We also offer sincere thanks to Antoinette Jackson of the University of South Florida for providing the same kind of assistance with her students. This was truly a cooperative venture between two universities that are dedicated to promoting cooperation between archaeologists and cultural anthropologists in the protection and management of cultural resources and, as Cheryl White points out in her article, ultimately protecting people whose cultural integrity and lives are threatened. At a time when anthropology is increasingly threatened by division and fragmentation, it is nice to be reminded that ethnographers and archaeologists can come together to work on both scholarly, humanitarian and practical issues of great importance. Thirdly, we offer special thanks to Erve Chambers for providing an excellent overview of cultural heritage studies in his introduction to this issue. As always, thanks to Neil Hann for keeping us on track, dealing with last minute substitutions and getting everything to fit together.

O estudo do patrimônio histórico-cultural e ambiental envolve a compreensão da história e cultura local, além das identidades materiais e imateriais que fazem os territórios acreanos atrativos ao turismo, pois, são dotados de objetos, costumes e valores de interesse ao lazer e ao turismo. A área de estudo da pesquisa faz parte de um território de fronteira, o Estado do Acre que faz parte da região da Amazônia Sul-Ocidental. Esta região da Amazônia está localizada no extremo oeste na região norte do território brasileiro, fazendo fronteira nacional com os estados amazônicos do Amazonas e Rondônia e internacionalmente com os países da Bolívia e do Peru. A região fronteiriça da Amazônia Sul-Ocidental passa por processo de integração rodoviária que permite a circulação terrestre entre Brasil, Bolívia e Peru com a conclusão da Estrada do Pacífico, que possibilita perspectivas de integração e desenvolvimento regional de países da América Latina e do disputado mercado comercial asiático. As iniciativas públicas e privadas dos países Brasil, Bolívia e Peru defendem a dinamização do turismo regional e fronteiriço como alternativa de desenvolvimento econômico, a valorização do patrimônio regional e da oferta turística. Identificam-se ações governamentais para a valorização do turismo com base no patrimônio histórico-cultural e ambiental da região. A pesquisa busca compreender as relações entre patrimônio histórico-cultural e ambiental e o turismo, no Estado do Acre com vistas ao desenvolvimento da oferta turística. Adota-se metodologia dialética com vista a entender o jogo de poder e forças na área estudada após a integração regional. A revisão bibliográfica ofereceu o suporte teórico para teorização do empírico, somadas a pesquisas institucionais e de campo para informações in loco, que possibilitaram as análises conclusivas. Os resultados demonstram que a região de fronteira é promissora e possui um valioso patrimônio associado a festas e peregrinações religiosas, patrimônio histórico da Revolução Acreana, retratados em museus e espaços de memórias, sítios arqueológicos com geoglifos. Somados a um significante território de áreas naturais protegidas e de uso sustentável, retratadas em reservas extrativistas, terras indígenas, projetos de assentamentos agroextrativistas, que com intervenções do poder público na adequação de infraestrutura e de logística têm concretizado a oferta e o aumento do fluxo de turistas na região, fortalecendo a identidade cultural e o turismo no território de fronteira. The Historical and Cultural Heritage in the Southwest Amazon: what the Acre (Brazil) and the tourism have as touristic offer ABSTRACT The study of the historical, cultural and environmental heritage involves the understanding of the historical and cultural heritage, beside the identity of material and immaterial that makes Acre’s territory attractive to tourism. This study was made in the State of Acre, that is a border territory that belongs to the Southwest Amazon. The Amazon region is located in the west of the north county of Brazil, and it makes national borders with the State of Amazonas and Rondônia, and international borders with Bolivia and Peru. The border region in the Southwest Amazon goes through a road integration process that allows terrestrial access between Brazil, Bolivia and Peru with the conclusion of the Pacific Road. This road will allows integration and regional development between Latin American countries and the disputed Asian commercial market. The Brazilian, Bolivian and Peruvian public and private initiatives stand up for promotion of the regional and borderer tourism as alternative to the economic development, the valorization of the regional heritage and the touristic offer. Governmental actions are identified for the purpose of valorizes the tourism based on the regional historical, cultural and environmental heritage. This study aims to understand the relationship between historical-cultural-environmental heritage and tourism in the State of Acre, focusing the development of the tourist offer. The methodology adopted for this study was the dialectics in order to understand the game of power and strength in the studied area after the regional integration. The literature review offered the theoretical framework for the empirical theorization added to institutional and field researches in order to inform in loco, which enabled the finals analysis. The results have shown that the border region is promising and it has a valuable heritage associated to local parties and religious peregrination, and the Revolution of the Acre heritage that is portrayed in museums and memorial spaces, archeological sites and geoglyphs sites. Added up to a significant natural protected areas and sustainable use, it is represented by extractive reserves, indigenous territory, agroextractivist settlement project which with the public intervention on the adequacy of infrastructure and logistical have brought supplies and increased flow of tourists in the region, making stronger the cultural identity and tourism in the border area. KEYWORDS: Amazon; Acre; Historical and Cultural Heritage; Environment; Tourism.

One of the factors threatening the sustainability of rural territories is the hegemonic agro-industrial model, whose environmental and social impacts strongly limit rural life. Here, we want to call attention to the opportunities provided by alternative agri-food systems, based on agroecology and food sovereignty, as a cultural heritage to support sustainable local development. We have carried out exploratory research to draft the main agroecological initiatives in Spain, particularly those having explicit support or encouragement from public administrations. An on-line questionnaire (n = 40) was delivered, and in-depth interviews (n = 15) were carried out among a sample of people working in the Spanish agroecology sector (public and private). The results demonstrate how the recovery and promotion of traditional ecological knowledge can help to increase the capacity of the social-ecological systems to cope with shocks and disturbances and maintain long-term resilience. In addition, agroecological practices allow collective identities to emerge around the characteristics of the territory strengthening local life, placing the society-ecosystem coevolution at the center of local identity. In conclusion, although still a minority, we have showed how several types of policies conceiving agroecological practices as an intangible collective heritage, with significant transformative potential towards local sustainability, have already been implemented.

Objective: Tourism has become the main engine of economic, social and environmental development in several countries, so promoting tourism awareness among tourists and the local population should be a priority. The present study aims to suggest a status of the research carried out on the topic of tourism awareness. Design / methodology / approach: The type of analysis is through a retrospective and exploratory bibliometric study. The analysis materials were scientific articles and a training manual published between 2000 and 2020, registered by Scopus, Emerald insight and Dialnet, using “tourism awareness” as the keyword. Results: When considering the three senses in which tourism awareness ought to operate, it is concluded that studies are more focused on the relationship and contact of the host community with the tourist. It is observed that four out of six articles in this sense consider that education, training, and government policies around tourism awareness should be developed in a better way in the destinations, in order to be an element that contributes to the development of communities and reduces poverty in developing countries. Study limitations / implications: It is considered a limitation not to include thesis dissertations. Findings / conclusions: It is necessary to make visible the importance of tourism awareness as a local development strategy for communities, in addition to including tourism awareness on the part of tourists.

The global pandemic caused by coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) disrupted both public and private life for many. Concerning medical students, practical teaching and classrooms were substituted with a virtual curriculum. However, how this new academic environment has affected students’ health and lifestyles has yet to be studied. In this study, we surveyed 2,776 students from nine different countries about changes in their university curricula and potential alterations in their daily habits, physical health, and psychological status. We found negative changes across all countries studied, in multiple categories. We found that 99% of respondents indicated changes in their instruction delivery system, with 90% stating a transition to online education, and 93% stating a reduction or suspension of their practical activities. On average, students spent 8.7 hours a day in front of a screen, with significant differences among countries. Students reported worsened studying, sleeping, and eating habits with substantial differences in Latin American countries. Finally, the participants frequently expressed onset and increase in both mental and physical health symptoms: backache, asthenopia, irritability, and emotional instability. Altogether, these results suggest a potential risk in the health and academic performance of future doctors if these new academic modalities are maintained.

IntroductionPain constitutes a major component of the global burden of diseases. Recent studies suggest a strong genetic contribution to pain susceptibility and severity. Whereas most of the available evidence relies on candidate gene association or linkage studies, research on the genetic basis of pain sensitivity using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is still in its infancy. This protocol describes a proposed GWAS on genetic contributions to baseline pain sensitivity and nociceptive sensitisation in a sample of unrelated healthy individuals of mixed Latin American ancestry.Methods and analysisA GWAS on genetic contributions to pain sensitivity in the naïve state and following nociceptive sensitisation will be conducted in unrelated healthy individuals of mixed ancestry. Mechanical and thermal pain sensitivity will be evaluated with a battery of quantitative sensory tests evaluating pain thresholds. In addition, variation in mechanical and thermal sensitisation following topical application of mustard oil to the skin will be evaluated.Ethics and disseminationThis study received ethical approval from the University College London research ethics committee (3352/001) and from the bioethics committee of the Odontology Faculty at the University of Antioquia (CONCEPTO 01–2013). Findings will be disseminated to commissioners, clinicians and service users via papers and presentations at international conferences.
