The Contribution of Entomological Surveillance to the Control of Chagas Disease in Endemic Regions: An Integrative Literature Review

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 7, Page 832-842, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chagas disease remains a significant public health challenge in various endemic regions of Latin America. The persistence of vector‐borne transmission highlights the complexity of the issue and the limitations of traditional strategies. In this context, entomological surveillance plays a strategic and multifaceted role, not only in the early ...

The Key Architects of Brazil's Foreign Policy and the Quest for Multipolarity Under Lula

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This article analyses the trajectories and worldviews of three central architects of Brazilian foreign policy during Lula's first two terms—Marco Aurélio Garcia, Samuel Pinheiro Guimarães and Celso Amorim. It argues that their progressive and anti‐imperialist orientations, aligned with the Workers' Party's broader project, were decisive in ...

The Fluorescent Amyloid Ligand X34 Binding to Transthyretin (TTR) Tetramer and Fibrils: FRET and Binding Constants of a Sequential Two‐step Process

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2025.
A secret of life is molecular recognition; the ability of one molecule to recognize another through weak bonding interactions. Here we investigate a fluorescent amyloid ligand X34 and its binding propensity to two apparently asymmetric binding sites of the amyloidogenic plasma protein transthyretin (TTR), both in its native tetrameric form and as an ...

Brazil and the institutionalization of South America: from hemispheric estrangement to cooperative hegemony

Revista Brasileira de Política Internacional, 2011
This article argues that Brazil went from a posture of estrangement in relation to the hemispheric project represented by the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) to a strategy of cooperative hegemony aimed at institutionalizing the South American ...

Beyond simplistic narratives: Dynamic farmers, precarity and the politics of agribusiness expansion

Journal of Agrarian Change, Volume 24, Issue 4, October 2024.
Abstract Agribusiness expansion is usually framed around two competing narratives. On the one hand, advocates present it as a promising vehicle to modernise agriculture and integrate small farmers into global value chains. On the other hand, critics denounce it as a top‐down corporate assault to monopolise agriculture and dispossess peasants of land ...

Domestic coalitions in the FTAA negotiations: the Brazilian case

Contexto Internacional, 2016
This paper proposes an explanation to the domestic coalitions organised in Brazil around the FTAA negotiations, which stand as a hard case for the existing theories on political cleavages: industrialists and trade unions, albeit having shared common ...

Amyloid beta 1‐40 and 1‐42 fibril ratios and maturation level cause conformational differences with minimal impact on autophagy and cytotoxicity

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 168, Issue 9, Page 3308-3322, September 2024.
The amyloid β (Aβ) peptide varies in length between 37 and 49 amino acids, with Aβ1‐42 being the most disease‐related and forms plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Aβ1‐40 also forms plaques and intertwines with Aβ1‐42, but their combined effect is still not clearly understood. Here, we fibrillized different Aβ1‐40:42 ratios and characterized both early and

Amino‐Acid Side‐Chain Nanoarchitectonics for Tuning the Chiroptical Properties and Supramolecular Structure of Pentameric Oligothiophenes

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2024.
Self‐assembled Proteophenes. Oligothiophenes with distinct amino acid side‐chain functionalities along the conjugated backbone displayed distinct chiroptical and structural properties in acidic or alkaline solutions. The distinct photophysical characteristics, as well as the supramolecular structures of the assemblies were highly influenced by the ...
