The article assesses carbon emissions from fuel combustion in the economy of the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais between 2005 and 2016. An open Leontief model with hybrid units and incorporation of an energy sector was built using available input-output matrices and energy flows by economic sector. Overall, “Transport, storage, and mailing”, “Petroleum derivatives and ethanol”, and “Metallurgy” remained as the most relevant sectors in terms of emissions. Total and distributive impacts decreased between 2005 and 2013, with a trend reversal between 2013 and 2016. In addition to these sectors, “Mining” and “Agriculture, forestry and logging” were significant sources of emissions embedded in exports. A reduction of approximately 20% in sectoral average and aggregate emission requirements was observed, despite the substantial growth of the economy of the State in the period. There were decreasing returns to such gains, which, alongside the trend reversal at the end of the period, point to the role of specific macroeconomic factors in the observed outcomes and the need for new initiatives to curb emissions in the future.

ResumoA busca por minerais como o ouro e a prata ou as pedras preciosas foi um dos maiores empreendimentos desde a colonização no Brasil. Para além de se constituir simplesmente numa atividade econômica, a mineração gerou uma dinâmica intensa sobre o interior do território e por isso mesmo ela teve papel decisivo para a formação territorial brasileira. A área mais restrita a que diz respeito este trabalho, a região do Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, refere-se a uma parte do “grande interior” em que a mineração desempenhou e ainda desempenha funções de extrema importância tanto no sentido da geração de riquezas, como também para a própria constituição das sociedades locais e seus processos de formação. Desta forma, este trabalho vem contribuir para a compreensão da mineração enquanto um agente primordial para a formação territorial na área compreendida pela região administrativa do Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba no Estado de Minas Gerais. Apresenta uma periodização para a mineração praticada na área procurando compreendê-la no processo mais amplo da formação territorial brasileira em seus momentos mais decisivos.Palavras Chave: Mineração, Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, periodização, fronteiraAbstractBesides being simply an economic activity, mining was generating an intense dynamic on the interior of the territory and, for this reason, it had a decisive role in Brazilian territorial formation. This study concerns about the Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba area, usually referred as part of the "great interior" where the mining sector has played, and still plays, a role of utmost importance in terms of wealth generation, as well as in the constitution of the local societies and their processes of formation. Thus, this study intends to understand mining as an primordial agent for territorial formation in the area covered by the Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, an administrative region in the State of Minas Gerais. A periodization for mining practiced is in the area was presented, looking to understand it in the broader process of the Brazilian territorial formation, in their most decisive moments.Keywords: Mining, Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, Periodization, Frontier RésuméLa recherche pour les minéraux comme l’or, l’argent ou les pierres précieuses a été une des plus grandes entreprises depuis la colonisation du Brésil. En plus d’être simplement une activité économique, l’exploitation minérale a généré une dynamique intense sur le territoire et, pour cette raison, elle a joué un rôle décisif dans la formation territoriale Brésilienne. La région la plus restreinte concernant ce travail est la région du Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, qui concerne la partie du “grande interior”, dans laquelle l’exploitation minière jouait et excerce encore des fonctions d’extrême importance, à la fois pour la génération de richesses, ainsi que pour la propre constitution des societés locales et leurs processus de formation. Ainsi, ce travail vient contribuer à la compréhension de l'exploitation minière en tant qu' agent primordial pour la formation territoriale dans la zone comprise dans la région administrative du Triângulo Mineiro / Alto Paranaíba, dans l'État de Minas Gerais. Une périodisation pour l'exploitation minière pratiquée dans la région a été présentée, afin de la comprendre dans le processus plus large de la formation territoriale brésilienne dans ses moments les plus décisifs.Mots clés: Exploitation minière, Triângulo Mineiro/Alto Paranaíba, périodisation, frontière

Bibliographic Study

The purpose of this article is to understand how hospitality is portrayed in films produced with the support of a program developed by the government in the State of Minas Gerais [Brazil]. The methodology of this qualitative research included a bibliographic study and content analysis of eight films. The results showed the complexity of interpersonal relationships in hospitality. The evaluative aspect that permeates hospitality can occur in different environments, establishing new practices and rituals during the process of receiving-hosting. Domestic hospitality predominates in the films analyzed and it is women who assume the role of hostesses. Another relevant result refers to socially marginalized contexts, in which reception can take place on the doorstep itself. It is concluded that the audiovisual productions analyzed portray several nuances of the hospitality phenomenon present in the Brazilian social imagination.

Do So

SummaryThe role of intravascular coagulation in the production of the generalized Shwartzman phenomenon has been evaluated. The administration of endotoxin to animals prepared with Thorotrast results in activation of the coagulation mechanism with the resultant deposition of fibrinoid material in the renal glomeruli. Anticoagulation prevents alterations in the state of the coagulation system and inhibits development of the renal lesions. Platelets are not primarily involved. Platelet antiserum produces similar lesions in animals prepared with Thorotrast, but appears to do so in a manner which does not significantly involve intravascular coagulation.The production of adrenal cortical hemorrhage, comparable to that seen in the Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, following the administration of endotoxin to animals that had previously received ACTH does not require intravascular coagulation and may not be a manifestation of the generalized Shwartzman phenomenon.

Revolutionary Politics

This book is designed to remove Peter Kropotkin from the framework of classical anarchism. By focusing attention on his theory of mutual aid, it argues that the classical framing distorts Kropotkin's political theory by associating it with a narrowly positivistic conception of science, a naively optimistic idea of human nature and a millenarian idea of revolution. Kropotkin's abiding concern with Russian revolutionary politics is the lens for this analysis. The argument is that his engagement with nihilism shaped his conception of science and that his expeditions in Siberia underpinned an approach to social analysis that was rooted in geography. Looking at Kropotkin's relationship with Elisée Reclus and Erico Malatesta and examining his critical appreciation of P-J. Proudhon, Michael Bakunin and Max Stirner, the study shows how he understood anarchist traditions and reveals the special character of his anarchist communism. His idea of the state as a colonising process and his contention that exploitation and oppression operate in global contexts is a key feature of this. Kropotkin's views about the role of theory in revolutionary practice show how he developed this critique of the state and capitalism to advance an idea of political change that combined the building of non-state alternatives through direct action and wilful disobedience. Against critics who argue that Kropotkin betrayed these principles in 1914, the book suggests that this controversial decision was consistent with his anarchism and that it reflected his judgment about the prospects of anarchistic revolution in Russia.
