Flood impact on income inequality in the Itapocu River basin, Brazil

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 15, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Disasters worldwide tend to affect the poorest more severely and increase inequality. Brazil is one of the countries with high income‐inequality rates and has unplanned urbanization issues and an extensive disaster risk profile with little knowledge on how those disasters affect people's welfare.

Riparian reserves protect butterfly communities in selectively logged tropical forest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1524-1535, June 2022., 2022
Mandatory conservation set‐asides around streams or rivers (riparian buffers) have an important role in protecting the abundance and composition of primary forest butterfly assemblages within selective logging concessions in tropical rainforests. This study highlights the need to assess the conservation value of protecting unlogged riparian forest ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Coffee on Prostate Cancer Prevention

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of cancer among men, and coffee is associated with a reduced risk of developing PCa. Therefore, we aim to review possible coffee molecular mechanisms that contribute to PCa prevention. Coffee has an important antioxidant capacity that reduces oxidative stress, leading to a reduced mutation in cells.

Revisiting a place‐based policy: Transformations in Northeast Brazil

Growth and Change, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 2412-2436, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Despite being the second most populated region in Brazil, the Northeast has persistently accounted for a small share of national income. A well‐known attempt to develop the region was made in 1959 with the creation of SUDENE, a big push type of place‐based policy resulting in an intensification of industrial investments.

Cutaneous microRNA expression in healthy Labrador and Golden retrievers and retrievers with allergic and inflammatory skin diseases

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 331-e92, August 2021., 2021
Background MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short, single‐stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression in a post‐transcriptional manner. Their expression is proposed to be tissue‐specific and alterations in miRNA expression have been detected in many diseases. Objective To compare miRNA expression in the skin of healthy Labrador and golden retrievers, and

Seeing the woods through the saplings: Using wood density to assess the recovery of human‐modified Amazonian forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 2190-2203, November 2018., 2018
Plant communities in human‐modified Amazonian forests appear to not be recovering a key functional property—wood density, which in turn may affect their ability to store carbon in the future. If the aim of conservation programs in tropical forests is to maintain existing rates of ecosystem functions, processes and services, then they must concentrate ...

Characterising text mining: a systematic mapping review of the Portuguese language

IET Software, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 49-75, April 2018., 2018
Documents written in natural language constitute a major part of the artefacts produced during the software engineering life cycle. Studies indicate that more than 80% of enterprise data is stored in some sort of unstructured form, mainly as text. Therefore, the growth of user‐generated content, especially from social media, provides a huge amount of ...
