Degradation State

O estágio atual de degradação da Amazônia fez emergir, em âmbito internacional, um debate sobre seu futuro e sobre as ações que contribuem para a destruição ou para a conservação da floresta. Diversos grupos travam uma luta simbólica neste debate, através da qual buscam legitimação para seus projetos e para suas formas de utilização dos recursos. Neste trabalho, buscou-se construir um quadro analítico em que fossem contempladas as diversas matrizes discursivas empregadas na discussão acerca dos rumos da Amazônia brasileira, levando em consideração as propostas de diferentes atores e elaborações teóricas sobre os conceitos de desenvolvimento, preservação e sustentabilidade. Foram identificadas, desta forma, quatro matrizes discursivas: o discurso desenvolvimentista, o discurso da mercantilização da natureza, o discurso preservacionista e o discurso socioambiental. Palavras-chave: Amazônia; sustentabilidade; conflito ambiental; políticas públicas. Abstract: The current Amazon’s degradation state resulted in the emergence of an international debate on its future and on the actions that contribute to forest’s destruction or conservation. Several groups find themselves in a symbolic struggle around this debate, through which they reach for legitimacy for their projects and the different uses of resource. In this paper we tried to build an analytical approach in which the various discursive matrices utilized in the discussion on the future of the Brazilian Amazon were contemplated. This has been done considering the proposals of different agents and theoretic elaborations on the concepts of development, preservation and sustainability. In this way, four discursive matrices were identified – the developmentalist discourse, the nature’s mercantilist discourse, the preservationalist discourse and the socio-environmentalist discourse – that, in different political conjectures act with more or less influence over the elaborated policies for each region, with direct effects over its ecosystems and inhabitants. Keywords: Amazon; sustainability; environmental conflict; public policies.

AbstractThe Moscow theater hostage crisis was a spectacular media event, which sparked a wide domestic and international debate concerning the appropriateness of the Russian response. This article attempts to reconstruct and assess the events that took place in terms of negotiability of the incident, and seeks to provide an analytical perspective on the possible alternatives that were available to the Russian authorities throughout the crisis. Part I provides a brief overview of the events that unfolded. This section of the article also places Chechen motivations behind the incident into perspective with regard to past Chechen operations and to their overall strategy. Part II focuses on the details of the attack itself, particularly the Russian response. Special attention is devoted to analyzing the successes and failures of both the negotiations and the tactical assault. The conclusion discusses the implications of the Moscow theater incident for the future, including its potential impact on the likelihood of success of crisis negotiation strategies and the future tactics of the Chechen rebels.

<p class="3">We explore interpretations of MOOCs around the globe and, in particular, interpretations of MOOCs in Norway. Based on a review of previous studies relevant to these topics, we present two contrasting views on the emergence and development of MOOCs, namely the global interruption view and the national mediation view. We suggest, based on previous studies that MOOCs seem to follow national paths more than global paths. In order to grasp the diversity of understandings of MOOCs, we developed a framework that embraces various aspects of motivation, context, and structure regarding MOOCs. With these two polarised views of MOOC development (the global interruption view and the national mediation view), and the framework serving as an analytical approach, we looked at Norway and analyzed the understandings of the development of MOOCs within this particular national context. The national government seems to have been important in the development of the present MOOCs in Norway, both by organizing a particular group of experts in a dedicated commission to consider the future of MOOC in Norway, and by initiating and giving financial support to the development of MOOCs.</p>

The educational process has always had an important gap in terms of inclusion. Several laws and public policies have contributed to extinguishing this process, but no tool has been more effective than technology, as long as it is applied in combination with specific methods for learning. It justifies the realization of this study, the relevance of the theme “inclusion” for society, for the academic environment and for the future of new generations. The present work has as a general objective to understand the importance of accessible technologies for the visually impaired in the school environment. The method used was based on theoretical-bibliographic research, based on authors such as Carvalho (2008), Sonza (2004) and Oliveira (2015). As a result, it can be seen that it was possible to identify the real collaboration of technology vis-à-vis students who have some type of disability, proposing technology as a tool to bring students closer to their own reality.

Abstract – This paper aims to examine how the implementation of public policies in the form of Large-Scale Social Restrictions in Indonesia due to the corona virus pandemic which has become an epidemic worldwide. The implementation of the PSBB is carried out to prevent the spread of the red zone to other areas as well as restrictions such as learning, work, religion, socio-culture and so on. Social restrictions, of course, must not conflict with legal and human rights provisions that have been adhered to in the community so that there will not be conflicts in the future. The writing method is carried out by means of literacy studies. Based on the results of this study, it can be seen that the determination of the PSBB is the most appropriate policy for the time being if there is a synchronization with law and human rights. Keywords: corona virus,  law, human rights   Abstrak – Tulisan ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana penerapan kebijakan publik berupa Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar di Indonesia dikarenakan pandemic virus corona yang menjadi wabah diseluruh dunia. Penerapan PSBB dilakukan untuk mencegah penyebaran dari zona merah terhadap wilayah lainnya serta pembatasan-pembatasan seperti pembelajaran, pekerjaan, keagamaan, sosial budaya dan lain sebagainya. Pembatasan sosial tentunya tidak boleh bertentangan dengan ketentuan hukum dan HAM yang dianut selama ini dimasyarakat sehingga tidak akan memunculkan konflik di kemudian hari. Metode penulisan yang dilakukan dengan cara studi literasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini maka dapat diketahui bahwa penetapan PSBB merupakan kebijakan yang paling tepat sementara ini apabila terdapat singkronisasi dengan hukum dan HAM.

AbstractThe children of twins (COT) design has been proposed as an alternative to the adoption study to resolve the direct effects of parental treatment from secondary parent–child association due to genetic factors. The basic analytical approach compares the parent–offspring correlation with the correlation between children and the monozygotic (MZ) twins of their parents. We show that a significant difference between these correlations does not imply direct environmental causality when the measured parental treatment in question is dyadic, that is, influenced by both parents even when mating is random. Nongenetic causal effects yield very similar patterns of correlation to secondary genetic effects on dyadic treatment variables. The fact that many candidate environments, such as parental divorce, are dyadic gives reason to question the interpretation of their correlations with behavior in the children of twins.

Abstract Projections of the Douglas-fir region forest economy indicate: (1) industrial harvest will decline over the next 20 years, in the range of 8 to 14% relative to current levels depending on the extent of reductions in public cut, but will rise in subsequent decades to near current levels; (2) nonindustrial lands can maintain present or higher levels with little reduction in timber inventory; (3) any private offset to a public harvest reduction will be modest and short-lived, and as a result large changes in public harvest will have significant impacts on the region's economy; (4) management intensification on private lands would have little impact on harvest potential in the next 3 decades; (5) minimum real stumpage price growth over the next 2 decades would be roughly 2.5% per year assuming no change in public harvest.

Peanuts was a suburban story and expressed many of the contemporary concerns about the environment and the future. Nature played an important role in Schulz’s work, becoming an active member of the cast at times. Schulz’s conception of environmental responsibility attempted to balance alleviating the negative consequences of modern industry with the need for continued industrial productivity. This environmental ethos made Peanuts characters attractive mascots for 1970s presidential administrations looking to market their own public policies in the midst of the energy and pollution crises of the decade. At times, however, Schulz’s work could be deployed by corporate leaders as a way to deflect their own industrial responsibility onto individual consumers.

AbstractThis article addresses an internal conflict that arose in an Amazonian village when it adopted an officially recognised quilombola identity. It argues that this issue, which tends to be interpreted in terms of identity, is in fact primarily social. Indeed, the divergent positions adopted by different groups of relatives need to be examined in relation to the dynamics of socio-economic differentiation linked to family histories. The article shows that the conflict related back to power struggles between dominant groups of relatives and that the questions about the limits of the group reflected preoccupations concerning who held legitimate authority to make decisions about the future of the village. By analysing some of the assumptions of the current debate about multiculturalism and ethnicity in Amazonia, this article contributes to the wider discussion about these issues in Brazil and, more broadly, in Latin America.
