If you look carefully as how exism movements like Trumpism or Italianism or Brexism or Brazilianism come to exist under majority rule based democracies, they all need the same conditions to exist,....without this condition they can not come to power....
which raises the question, what is the necessary and sufficient condition for an exism movement to come to exist under majority rule based liberal democracies?
What do you think?
Hello,
I'm currently writing an essay for a university assignment on whether a, presumably hypothetical, clinical trial is ethically justified. I see that the second of the 4 questions that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) prompts you to answer/think about when defining if a study is a clinical trial is: "Are the participants prospectively assigned* to an intervention**?" (https://grants.nih.gov/ct-decision/index.htm)
The question is then further broken down by explaining that "prospectively assigned" refers to a pre-defined process (e.g. randomisation).
The essay question I have reads as follows: An investigator plans to conduct a clinical trial in remote parts of Brazil and Mexico. The trial involves giving children with suspected cutaneous leishmaniasis (a parasitic infection) a newly developed drug treatment over a 3 week period and then collecting a series of samples from them, including stool samples. What ethical issues does this scenario raise, and are they acceptable?
If a researcher is looking to do a clinical trial on children in the rural parts of Mexico and Brazil, I imagine the sampling method here would come under the non-probability sample method purposive sampling (https://www.scribbr.co.uk/research-methods/sampling/) -- Does this still fit what "prospectively assigned" refers to, even if the subjects for the trial aren't randomly chosen?
Also, I'm guessing that the question Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? in full means to ask, 'Are the participants, that have been selected by a method of sampling, assigned to an intervention treatment for the disease the trial is investigating?'
Sorry that this wasn't written very succinctly, it's my first time asking a question on the website and I've only begun my second year of university, so I'm still coming to understand various terminologies.
There is a necessary and sufficient condition for exism movements to come to power under majority rule based democracy and rule of law when competing in elections; and there is a necessary and sufficient condition for exism movement to lose power when going through reelection.
Exism movements like Trumpism, Brexism, Brazilianism and Italianism came to power under the same condition to gain power; and both Brazilianims and Trumpism lost power when seeking reelection under the same condition to lose power, Trumpism fell in 2020 and Brazilianism fell in 2022.
And this leads to the question: Under majority rule and the independent rule of law, what is the necessary and sufficient condition for exism movements to lose power?
What do you think?
This is an academic question, please provide your own comments, not third party comments
I think Yes, what do you think?
Below are some articles with some food for thoughts shared recently in order to understand the nature, structure and expected working of exism movements

Hello.
I am studying the variation of nutrient content (especially N and P) in an eutrophicated hypersaline lagoon in Brazil. I would like to better understand the electrochemical behavior of nutrients in water column and/or sediments. This lagoon presents very high oxygented waters, but its sediments exhibit very reducing conditions. If anyone has any suggestion for this issue, it would help me very much. Thank you all.
Current legislation in Brazil for this type of shipment is very confusing (not to say chaotic) and bureaucratic. I would like to know from colleagues who have had this experience how they did to send specimens legally and safely to US institutions.
Bioenergetic use of Araucaria angustifolia branches
Araucaria angustifolia was widely exploited in the past for wood purpose
and currently it is on the red list of endangered species in Brazil
As far as we know, there are no data on the extent of this uncontrolled exploitation (Records suggest that its original extension has been reduced to just 12%).
Currently it cannot be cut or managed,
even the branches - which fall naturally at a certain time are not used.
So, we have the following questions:
Is it possible to see the Araucaria tree in a profitable and ecological way at the same time?
How can the use of branches contribute to the conservation of species?
Can the use of co-products (branches) save Araucaria from extinction?
These and other questions are addressed in this study carried out at the State University of Centro Oeste, PR - Brazil and can be accessed FREE of charge for 50 days

We evaluated the degree of increase in coronavirus infection after the holidays in Brazil, and we hope that the data can help prepare health teams to face the pandemic. Are there any surveys like that in your country? we can discuss this issue. Take care!
Are the business negotiators more generous when dealing with their counterparts at the workplace, within your country?
I conducted recently research in Brazil with MBA students from all five regions, analyzing statistically N=1,000 negotiations, 500 before and 500 after the pandemic, using the same two-party-one-issue role-play simulation. You will find the answer here: IS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PROMOTING MORE EMPATHETIC INTERNAL BUSINESS NEGOTIATIONS?
Nevertheless, I would like to know your opinion about internal business negotiations in your country.
Hi I am doing soil erosion modelling applying RUSLE equation. But I was searching for the most appropriate and latest method to determine K-factor for a large area like India or Brazil or Australia? Please suggest. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
Currently, about 60% of the forests of the Amazon region in Brazil are still preserved. Due to constant pressure from loggers, cattle ranchers, prospectors, drug dealers, growing cities, mining, among other man-made activities. All of these economic activities infiltrate the forest area to extract wealth and destroy the forest. This practice has been common since the 1970s and has been accentuated. How can the government control such a large and difficult-to-penetrate border with little money?
We are reaching a year since the beginning of the pandemic. During this period, many were without work and many others had reduced earnings, causing difficulties for families.
in many countries, as was the case in Brazil, the federal government paid monthly amounts, helping many families with the minimum necessary.
In your country, did that happen too?
Given the current scenario, are you managing to control spending and keep your family?
Thank you in advance for your contributions!
Hello to everyone, I would like your help and maybe expertise. I am from Brazil and we bought a single axis solar tracker which follows the sun E-W to improve energy harvesting during morning and afternoon hours. The thing is, after the selling company installed the tracker for us, we didn't like the fact that the tilt angle is zero, not being optimized for our latitude.
Is it ok if we dismount the tracker and install it again elevating one of the pillars in order to get the optimized tilt for our location?
Can this affect motor's life span?

Hello, colleagues,
Greetings from Brazil.
I would like to know if you could recommend recently published material (open access, preferably) addressing Jesuits' dictionaries and "artes" from 16th, 17th centuries. I'm interested in their works on the Japanese language, but texts about the structure and approach of their ditionaries/"artes" in general will also help.
Thank you very much!

Does it garantee a domestic equal vision and practice on how the state will or could act in foreign policy?
There is the belief that the rates of infection and fatalities of COVID-19 are lower in the tropics than in the temperate regions of the world. This explains why the disease does not have a devastating impacts on the African continent as some have expected.
Global cases are now more than 15 million and died more than 630,000 from COVID-19. USA has more than 4 million cases, Brazil tops 2.2 million and India has more than 1.2 million cases. Russia has nearly 800,000 COVID-19cases. USA, Latin America and South Asia are still hot spots, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
JHU recorded the first case of coronavirus in the United States on January 21:
- It took the country 99 days to reach 1 million cases on April 28.
- It then took 43 more days to reach 2 million cases on June 10.
- It took another 28 days to surpass 3 million cases on July 8.
- It has taken the United States only 15 additional days to surpass 4 million cases.
The US is the global leader in Covid-19 cases, followed by Brazil, India, Russia and South Africa.

On a daily basis, SEN students are part of the reality of ordinary classes in Brazil and, most of the times, in a 28-student group, teachers might have 3 diagnosed children and 15 other demonstrating some kind of deviance of what could be expected from a 'normal' pupil. How could we help teachers to orient their practice to deal with these students?
It started with just above 3 million cases at the beginning of May and end the of the month it passed 6 million globally. USA & Europe at last have shown success to control the spread of pandemic and started to reopen with few behavioral guidelines. Latin America is now current epicenter for Covid-19 and South Asia is another hot spot. Brazil is struggling the most to find out anymore larger graveyard. Peruvians are crying for oxygen. Indians don't find anymore empty bed in hospital.

My question is something apart from the natural hair growth cycle from anagen to telogen phase and more about "length retention", i.e. the ability to grow the hair with minimal breakage and the need for cutting. What I understood from internet forums, African-descent hair textures are often susceptible to acquired distal trichorrhexis nodosa, split ends and mid-shaft split hairs, even though the curvature is looser than "Type 4" (for example, when a person is from mixed descent). I have understood that the degree of kinking (torsion twists) and the flatter cross-sectional shape also influence the resilience of the cuticles and the cortex. But there are also cases of African persons who are able to achieve very long hair (e.g. 90 cm/35 inch) without significant breakage.
Furthermore, I often see through social media platforms pictures/videos of Brazilian persons with tightly curled hair ("Type 3B" or "3C") who are able to grow their hair to great lengths, like 90 cm/35 inch and longer.

I am PhD student at the University of São Paulo (USP - Brazil) and I would like to request data from SAGE-Wave 1. I and my advisor (PhD Dalmo Machado - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dalmo_Machado) have tried to access the WHO platform (https://apps.who.int/healthinfo/systems/surveydata/index.php/catalog/sage) to request data. But we can't. When we completed the form, the option to submit our proposal is not available.
I hope you could help me in this or other way.
I'm interested in your research & I would be gratefull if you could provide the full-text. I am working with clinical thermography since 2008 and we have an autism treatment in Brazil.

Dear Colleges,
I am head of the research group on Molecular Studies and Experimental Therapy, based in the Department of Genetics, Federal University of Pernambuco, located in the Northeast region of Brazil. My group, until 2019, had as main focus the cancers related to HPV. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, we were requested, by the municipal and state governments, to participate in facing this disease.
In this sense, we redirected our line of research to work with SARS-CoV-2. We intend to use our skills to develop studies of COVID-19 and vaccine strategies. However, we face the difficulty that this virus needs level 3 laboratory safety. We only have a level 3 Lab, and it is overloaded.
In an attempt to find a way out of this difficulty, I thought of producing Pseudotyped Vesicular Stomatitis Virus for Analysis SARS-CoV-2.
In this way, I would like to know if any colleague could kindly send me the plasmids necessary for this development accompanied by the protocols, if possible.
I await a response from the community in the hope that this contribution will be possible.
Regards,
Dr. Antonio Carlos de Freitas

Alguém possui alguma informação sobre as áreas prioritárias para a conservação da biodiversidade, estabelecidas pelo Ministério do Meio Ambiente do Brasil em 2004? Diferente daquelas já disponibilizadas no sítio oficial do governo, que constam no seguinte link: http://areasprioritarias.mma.gov.br/processo-de-avaliacao-2004
Alguma coisa parecida com os procedimentos metodológicos adotados na época ou uma publicação que discuta e descreva as áreas selecionadas? (sem ser as tabelas básicas de descrição e o map original).

I currently study the possibility of an environmental assessment of viable biowaste management systems for São Paulo, Brazil. The objective of the study is to support policy decision making in a strategic scope. This inevitably led me to a life cycle assessment (LCA). Although, several obstacles led me to consider modelling it in Microsoft Excel:
- Softwires and inventories for life cycle are normally paid, a not viable option to non-funded research in developing countries.
- The objective is to develop a viable framework to municipalities/states with low technical and economic capacity. Excel is a simplified, yet the most viable option to make it accessible for policy making.
- Brazil does not have an extensive and consistent life cycle inventories database yet. Thus, most databases have a huge uncertainty about Brazilian conditions, as these are based on different environmental conditions for emission factors (as example use on land emissions of fertilizers in tropical soil). In this context, inventories in national reports, thesis and other sources present as more convincing sources of data.
- LCA softwires and inventories normally are not as transparent as Excel in allowing several changes in programming code, simulation, etc.
So, is it scientific accurate yet or would it not be considered a LCA as do not follow good practices guidelines (as ILCD)?

In Brazil we have two predominant species of ants (Atta sexdens and Atta laevigatta), the colonies of both ants developing in noticeable nests due to loose soil volume.
Currently for the control of these nest ants we have only used chemicals, considering being formulated and applied: in bait (sulfluramid and fipronil), in powder (deltamethrin) and in termo-fogg (permethrin and fenitrothion).
I would like to know what is being used / marketed in your region to control leaf-cutting ants of the genus Atta sp.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to bring a line cell of a mammary gland from Brazil to Chile. From the University of Sao Paulo, to be more specific. However, in order to bring them cryopreserved, they must travel in dry ice, a product that is difficult to pass through both borders.
That is why I am trying to see the possibility of bringing them in T75 flask with a lot of culture medium through DHL. So I am looking for someone from Brazil, hopefully from the University of Sao Paulo, that can offer me the services of cultivating my cell line and then to send me Flask T75 from Brazil to Chile. The idea is that if the cells arrive to Chile dead for some reason, there is backup cells in the laboratory in Brazil. Therefore, the service I need, would be to grow cells and to make a backup of these cells to keep in their lab. These cells do not require anything special. To grow these cells you will only need to use DMEM medium with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotics in an oven with 5% CO2 and at 37 ° C - 38.5 ° C.
We will run with all the costs. At the moment my cells are in a laboratory of the University of Sao Paulo and I need to be able to bring them urgently. This because I need them for my doctoral thesis. I already tried to bring them through World Courier but it is extremely expensive to do so.
Anyone who is able to help me please contact me through my email: e.munoz09@ufromail.cl

Conservative political thinking (Trump in the US, Bolsonaro in Brazil) is advancing in many countries. Apparently this has specific characteristics, related to the spirit of time (zeigeist). My research aims to know what types exist.

I wanna talk about some projects that i am studying here, in sergipe, Brazil...
I am currently evaluating data (baseline measurements) of participants, who originate from all over the world (mainly Dutch though). The aim is to identify differences between “ethnicities”. In the study I work in, definitions were previously made such as ethnicity is defined as country of origin of parents.
After long search and comparison of several articles with each other, I could identify groups which are more often used in research. To my research the following applies the most at the moment: The largest group is Dutch, the second largest from the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) and thereafter Europeans/North America.
Now, I have about 100 participants remaining who are from other countries e.g. China, Brazil, Caribbean islands, and most of them actually have mixed ethnicities (e.g. one parent is Dutch and the other from Brazil or Morocco and again, there are many more combinations). Within this, participants with the same or similar background are very small in group size (e.g. 2 - 8 people), so it is not possible to treat them as separate groups. And obviously I cannot just treat all remaining ones as one group. In that case, is it "better" to exclude them from the analysis?
I am not an expert in social sciences and I am aware that this questions does not have one straight forward answer, but at this point I don’t know how to continue anymore.
Maybe there are helpful resources that I did not come across yet about this topic?
I’d appreciate any comments, ideas, suggestions!
