Diversas sociedades han concebido a la naturaleza como un todo integral, una entidad viva. Esta perspectiva ontológica es una forma del ser en el mundo y representa otros caminos de la convivencia con el entorno. Este texto busca aportar elementos para entender la lógica de la percepción del agua en los pueblos mazahuas del Estado de México, a partir de referentes cosmológicos. Desde la perspectiva de la ecofilosofía, estas formas de asumir el entorno nos permiten repensar nuestros fundamentos epistémicos sobre la naturaleza. Metodológicamente, se realizó trabajo de campo en las comunidades mazahuas de la región noroccidente y occidente del Estado de México, principalmente se retomaron localidades cercanas a los ríos Lerma y Cutzamala. A partir de entrevistas a profundidad, recorridos de área e información documental se identificó la percepción del agua, así como los diferentes conflictos por los recursos hídricos y los proyectos de trasvase.Abstract: Various societies have designed nature as an integral whole and as a living entity. This ontological perspective is a form of being in the world and represents other paths of coexistence with the environment. This text seeks to provide elements to understand the perception of water in the Mazahua people of the State of Mexico, from cosmological references. From the perspective of ecophilosophy, these cosmological referents are necessary to rethink our epistemic foundations on nature. Methodologically, fieldwork was carried out in the Mazahua communities of the northwestern and western region, mainly in localities near the Lerma and Cutzamala rivers. Based on in-depth interviews, area tours and documentary information, the perception of water was identified, as well as the different conflicts over water resources and diversion projects.Keywords: water; Indigenous people; ontologies of nature; ecophilosophy; oral narrative.Résumé : Diverses sociétés ont conçu la nature comme un tout intégral, une entité vivante.

Du point de vue de l’écophilosophie, ces les façons d´assumer l´environnement, nous permettent de repenser nos fundements épistémiques sur la nature. Méthodologiquement, des travaux de terrain ont été effectués dans les communautés Mazahua du nord-ouest et de l’ouest du pays, principalement dans les localités proches des rivières Lerma et Cutzamala. À partir d’entretiens approfondis, de visites de zones et d’informations documentaires, la perception de l’eau a été identifiée, ainsi que les différents conflits liés aux ressources en eau et aux projets de dérivation.Mots-clés : l’eau ; peuples autochtones ; ontologies de la nature ; écophilosophie ; récit oral.

Plaster Model

Installed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1921 to commemorate the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims, Cyrus Dallin's statue Massasoit was intended to memorialize the Pokanoket Massasoit (leader) as a welcoming diplomat and participant in the mythical first Thanksgiving. But after the statue's unveiling, Massasoit began to move and proliferate in ways one would not expect of generally stationary monuments tethered to place. The plaster model was donated to the artist's home state of Utah and prominently displayed in the state capitol; half a century later, it was caught up in a surprising case of fraud in the fine arts market. Versions of the statue now stand on Brigham Young University's campus; at an urban intersection in Kansas City, Missouri; and in countless homes around the world in the form of souvenir statuettes. The surprising story of this monumental statue reveals much about the process of creating, commodifying, and reinforcing the historical memory of Indigenous people. Dallin's statue, set alongside the historical memory of the actual Massasoit and his mythic collaboration with the Pilgrims, shows otherwise hidden dimensions of American memorial culture: an elasticity of historical imagination, a tight-knit relationship between consumption and commemoration, and the twin impulses to sanitize and grapple with the meaning of settler-colonialism.

Epidemiological Trends

Abstract Brazil is the second nation in absolute number of new cases of leprosy in the world. The country presents many regions highly endemic to the disease, as is the case of the Goiás. The present study aims to analyze the temporal trends of leprosy indicators in Goiás between 2006 and 2015. This study showed a significant trend of decline for the coefficient of detection. Although the central-western region of the state presented the highest absolute number of cases, the Northeast of the state presents the worst epidemiological situation, with an increase in the number of cases of patients with physical disabilities and those under 14 years of age. The data also showed that there is an increase in the cases of patients with physical deformities in almost all macroregions of the state, indicative of late diagnosis. It is very important that there is a more effective and continuous training of the health professionals of the non-centralized units, for a real control of leprosy as a public health problem in the state. In addition, special attention should be given to the poorer regions of the state, which have shown a tendency to increase the diagnosis of patients younger than 14 years and with physical disabilities caused by leprosy.

It is proposed to discuss territorial mobility, the policies of indigenous leaders in the state of Acre, especially the Manchineri, their survival strategies in the world of non-indigenous people so that we can reflect on two changes that we testify in recent decades: mobility for the urban centers that include the indigenous people who were born in the city and those who arrived in the city, as well as its growing support in the country’s indigenous and non-indigenous political discussions in Brazil. The methodological path had as its own perspective of the leaders, for this will be reported their way of life and their involvement in the policies of different spheres of decision. The paper consists of three discussion sections that go from mobility to the political role played by leaders.

Studies released by the Atmospheric Electricity Group of the National Institute for Space Research place Brazil as the country with the highest incidence of lightning in the world, with an average of 77.8 million every year. In the period from 2000 to 2019, 2,194 deaths from lightning were recorded in the country, with every 50 deaths from lightning in the world, one is in Brazil. The objective of this work is to carry out a visual analysis of the behavior of lightning strikes in the state of Bahia, relating it to the number of deaths caused by lightning in each municipality. The goal is to investigate whether there is any relationship between the number of deaths, the region and the population.To this end, data on lightning density density and number of deaths caused by lightning were published by INPE and the Ministry of Health, respectively. The number of inhabitants provided by IBGE in each municipality in the state of Bahia was also used. Visual analysis was performed using the VYR tool. The results showed a higher incidence of discharges in the western region of the state. As for the number of deaths, there was a homogeneous distribution in the state, with an apparent relationship with the number of inhabitants of the municipalities. There was a reduction in the number of deaths in the last ten years, probably related to the increase in the education level of the population.

ABSTRACT Envelope curves are important tools for preliminary evaluation of design floods, for sizing hydraulic structures and for checking the design peak discharge in old dams, to verify their hydrological safety. These curves, associated with a mathematical equation, determine the upper line that involves the maximum values of the floods associated with the respective basin areas. Envelope curves can be global or regional; maybe relative to maximum recorded floods or certain return periods. This paper presents a review of the various envelope curves developed in the world and, in addition, applies them to the hydrological conditions of the watersheds in Ceará. Three envelope curves widely used in the literature were tested. Based on the estimation of new regional parameters for Ceará, envelope curves for floods with Tr equal to 1.000 and 10.000 years were constructed for the State. For developing the envelope curves, 43 hydrological dams’ projects, designed by hydrological techniques adopted by state water resources institutions, were investigated.

This chapter examines Merata Mita’s Mauri, the first fiction feature film in the world to be solely written and directed by an indigenous woman, as an example of “Fourth Cinema” – that is, a form of filmmaking that aims to create, produce, and transmit the stories of indigenous people, and in their own image – showing how Mita presents the coming-of-age story of a Māori girl who grows into an understanding of the spiritual dimension of the relationship of her people to the natural world, and to the ancestors who have preceded them. The discussion demonstrates how the film adopts storytelling procedures that reflect a distinctively Māori view of time and are designed to signify the presence of the mauri (or life force) in the Māori world.

The article examines the epistemological roots of conservative ideology, development trends and further prospects in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in other countries. The author focuses on the “world” and Russian conservatism. In the course of the study, the author illustrates what opportunities and limitations a conservative ideology can have in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in the world. In conclusion, it is concluded that the prospect of a conservative trend in the world is wide enough. To avoid immigration and to control the development of technology in society, it is necessary to adhere to a conservative policy. Conservatism is a consolidating ideology. It is no coincidence that the author cites as an example the understanding of conservative ideology by the French due to the fact that Russia has its own vision of the ideology of conservatism. If we say that conservatism seeks to preserve something and respects tradition, we must bear in mind that traditions in different societies, which form some kind of moral imperatives, cannot be a single phenomenon due to different historical destinies and differing religious views. Considered from the point of view of religion, Muslim and Christian conservatism will be somewhat confrontational on some issues. The purpose of the work was to consider issues related to the role, evolution and prospects of conservative ideology in the political reform of modern countries. The author focuses on Russia and France. To achieve this goal, the method of in-depth interviews with experts on how they understand conservatism was chosen. Already today, conservatism is quite diverse. It is quite possible that in the future it will transform even more and acquire new reflections.

The purpose of this research is to see the open selection mechanism in the government of Bantul district. Because the success of bureaucratic reform is a part of human resources within the government bureaucracy. Therefore it is necessary to have human resource management to realize a state of civil apparatus with integrity, professionalism and competence. In this study, researchers used qualitative approach methods. Where in the technique is done in-depth interviews to get information and gather other supporting documents on this research. Human resource management could be done by structuring employees through an open selection mechanism. The Government of Bantul District has conducted an open selection in structuring employees who are in their government. Because the open selection is considered a solution in the screening of the state civil apparatus. Moreover, the Bantul Government in the open selection process uses several stages including administration selection, competency tests, interviews, and paper presentations. With the existence of several stages carried out in the open selection process by the Bantul Government, it is expected to capture and create a state civil apparatus who are professional and competent in running of bureaucracy in the government. So the existence of the state civil apparatus competent then will be influenced in its performance.
