The link between human population dynamics and energy consumption during the Anthropocene
Our present world is the consequence of the size of the human population and its domination of the biosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels. Since ~1950, there has been a sudden increase in the rate of human global energy consumption, economic productivity, and population growth. This abrupt departure of the system dynamics has been defined as the “Great Acceleration.” The accelerated population and economic expansion during the past 70 y…
Population dynamics and cultural niche construction during the Late Holocene in a mediterranean ecosystem (central Chile, 32°S−36°S)
Understanding socio-ecological systems over the long term can shed light on past adaptive strategies in environmentally sensitive regions. Central Chile is an emblematic case study for mediterranean ecosystems, where a progressive and sustained population increase began approximately 2000 years ago alongside significant landscape changes. In this work we analyzed regional paleo-demographic trends by compiling a new database of archaeological date…
Genomic characterization of Sars-CoV-2 from an indigenous reserve in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on indigenous populations. Understanding the viral dynamics within this population is essential to create targeted protection measures. Methods: A total of 204 SARS-CoV-2 positive samples collected between May 2020 and November 2021 from an indigenous area in Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Midwestern Brazil, were screened. Samples were submitted to whole genome sequencing using the Nanopore sequencin…
A modeling approach to estimate the historical population size of the Patagonian Kawésqar people
The study of human-gatherers societies’ demography used to be a difficult task due to the lack of direct evidence to support the estimations. This is the case of several human groups from Pacific Patagonia whose historical population size estimations are controversial. This study estimated the historical population size for the Kawésqar people using direct and indirect evidence. Thus, we collated past estimations from experts and encounter rates …
Sofia Dyminski E as “Moças Da Ilha”
Este trabalho apresenta algumas reflexões acerca da arte produzida por mulheres e de como o estudo das categorias de gênero pode utilizar-se dessas produções para compreender as formas de ação feminina, mesmo em contextos em que a militância feminista não tenha ocorrido de maneira incisiva, mas que já havia iniciativas implícitas nessas composições que davam luz às temáticas de gênero. Deste modo, faremos um recorte na obra de Sofia Dyminski, ond…
Pesquisa-intervenção como mediadora de transformação das condições de saúde dos teleoperadores de Pernambuco
Com o processo de globalização e as transformações no setor de telecomunicações, provenientes da reestruturação produtiva, os últimos 10 anos foram marcados pelo crescimento significativo do número de empresas terceirizadas na prestação de serviços de teleatendimento no Brasil. Este artigo objetivou descrever o processo metodológico da pesquisa-intervenção sobre perfil das condições de vida, de trabalho e de adoecimento dos teleoperadores do esta…
Agricultural Frontiers, Health Care, and Population Size Impact the Recovery Patterns of Brazilian Indigenous Nations
After centuries of decline, the populations of indigenous nations in Brazil began to increase in the 1970s. Population Ecology theory predicts that population size affects the dynamics of three basic recovery patterns: intra-specific cooperation (a positive effect of population size); competition (a negative effect); and exponential growth (no effect of population size). We analyzed the dynamics and recent history of 25 Brazilian indigenous popul…
Forecasting the 2001 Foot-and-Mouth Disease Epidemic in the UK
Near real-time epidemic forecasting approaches are needed to respond to the increasing number of infectious disease outbreaks. In this paper, we retrospectively assess the performance of simple phenomenological models that incorporate early sub-exponential growth dynamics to generate short-term forecasts of the 2001 foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in the UK. For this purpose, we employed the generalized-growth model (GGM) for pre-peak predictions…
Safety and Protective Effectiveness of Two Strains of Lactobacillus with Probiotic Features in an Experimental Model of Salmonellosis
Two strains of Lactobacillus, previously isolated from bovine faeces and tested in vitro for properties desired in probiotics, were evaluated for their in vivo effectiveness in protecting against experimental salmonellosis. L. salivarius L38 and L. acidophilus L36 previously demonstrated the ability to successfully colonize the gastrointestinal tract of germ-free mice and stimulate the immune system associated with the intestinal mucosa. L38- or …
