The creation of rural settlements for the purpose of agrarian reform within the Brazilian Amazon has generated discussions and since its first implementation and brought innumerable contradictions, both environmental and social. So, naturally, questions arise about questions such as: In what context were these settlements constituted? How did the occupation of this territory impact the environment and what were the consequences of these impacts on the ecosystems and families of small farmers? This work aims, through an bibliographical review, to conceptualize the socioenvironmental impacts of the implantation of agrarian reform settlements in the Amazon and to try to elucidate or at least contribute to discuss how the failures in the management of these projects affected the lives of settled families and the ecosystem as a whole. The current structure of the landscape reveals management failures, such as the inconsistencies in the division of lots, which combined with the implantation of pastures, have increased deforestation. The inconsistencies in the construction and implementation of public policies that enabled the farmer to remain on the land in a sustainable manner, generated a state of poverty and consequent rural exodus. It is possible to produce in a sustainable way, being necessary to provide orientation and resources for farmers and the promotion of actions that aim at the production with sustainability, such as Agroforestry Systems and extractivism, practices that have been working in some localities.

O artigo analisa o “Processo de criação do Projeto de Assentamento do Vale do Arinos de Juara (MT), no contexto das políticas públicas de Reforma Agrária” e aborda os procedimentos adotados na implementação das atividades para o assentamento, sob os auspícios das políticas públicas para Reforma Agrária e Assentamentos Rurais. Os trabalhos de pesquisa visavam elucidar o processo de criação, planejamento, estruturação e seleção dos Assentados. A teoria de base foi construída segundo o aporte teórico-analítico de autores que pesquisam a reforma agrária e se constituiu importante subsídio para compreensão, discussão e análise dos dados pesquisados. O estudo fundamentou-se nos pressupostos do método de pesquisa qualitativa, a qual se instrumentou por meio de levantamento documental e aplicação de entrevistas. O conjunto de dados qualitativos que formaliza o corpus de análise apontou que as ações inerentes à criação, planejamento, estruturação e seleção dos assentados nas parcelas do assentamento foram parcialmente concretizadas, visto que houve pouca efetividade nas políticas públicas de reforma agrária no assentamento, dada a escassez da infraestrutura básica. Todavia, as famílias reconhecem significativos benefícios à população assentada no Assentamento Vale do Arinos.Palavras–chave: Reforma Agrária. Políticas Públicas. Assentados.AbstractThe article analyses the "Process of creating the Arinos Valley of Juara (MT), in the context of the public policies of Agrarian Reform" and discusses the procedures adopted in the implementation of the activities for the settlement, under the auspices of public policies for Agrarian Reform and Rural Settlements. The research works aimed at elucidating the process of creation, planning, structuring and selection of the Seated. The basic theory was constructed according to the theoretical-analytical contribution of authors who research the agrarian reform and constituted substantial subsidy for understanding, discussion and analysis of the data researched. The study was based on the assumptions of the method of qualitative research, which was instrumented using documentary survey and application of interviews. The set of qualitative data that formalised the analysis corpus pointed out that the actions inherent to the creation, planning, structuring and selection of the settlers in the settlement parcels were partially accomplished, since there was little effectiveness in the public policies of agrarian reform in the settlement, given the shortage of necessary infrastructure. However, families recognise significant benefits to the population settled in the Vale do Arinos settlement.Keywords: Agrarian Reform. Public policy. Settled.

The Creation

This chapter examines the challenge for entrepreneurial companies of going beyond the start-up phase and growing into large successful companies. We examine the long-term financing of these so-called scale-up companies, focusing on the United States, Europe, and Canada. The chapter first provides a conceptual framework for understanding the challenges of financing scale-ups. It emphasizes the need for investors with deep pockets, for smart money, for investor networks, and for patient money. It then shows some data about the various aspects of financing scale-ups in the United States, Europe, and Canada, showing how Europe and Canada are lagging behind the US relatively more at the scale-up than the start-up stage. Finally, the chapter raises the question of long-term public policies for supporting the creation of a better scale-up environment.

Furuncular Myiasis

Abstract Two individuals of the jaguar, Panthera onca (L.), were captured near the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo, Brazilian Amazon, during the years of 2017 and 2018. The jaguars presented furuncular myiasis caused by the human botfly Dermatobia hominis (L.) on the rear thighs and tail. This is the first record of infestation of D. hominis in P. onca in the Amazon region.

The Impact

Surgical site infection (SSI) following caesarean section is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and significant health care costs. This study evaluated the epidemiological, clinical, and microbiological features of Acinetobacter spp. in women with SSIs who have undergone caesarean section at a referral hospital in the Brazilian Amazon region. This study included 69 women with post-caesarean SSI by Acinetobacter spp. admitted to the hospital between January 2012 and May 2015. The 69 Acinetobacter isolates were subjected to molecular species identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, detection of carbapenemase-encoding genes, and genotyping. The main complications of post-caesarean SSI by Acinetobacter were inadequate and prolonged antibiotic therapy, sepsis, prolonged hospitalization, and re-suture procedures. A. baumannii, A. nosocomialis and A. colistiniresistens species were identified among the isolates. Carbapenem resistance was associated with OXA-23-producing A. baumannii isolates and IMP-1-producing A. nosocomialis isolate. Patients with multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infection showed worse clinical courses. Dissemination of persistent epidemic clones was observed, and the main clonal complexes (CC) for A. baumannii were CC231 and CC236 (Oxford scheme) and CC1 and CC15 (Pasteur scheme). This is the first report of a long-term Acinetobacter spp. outbreak in women who underwent caesarean section at a Brazilian hospital. This study demonstrates the impact of multidrug resistance on the clinical course of post-caesarean infections.

The Impact

A total of 187 different species of arboviruses and other viruses in vertebrates were identified at the Evandro Chagas Institute (IEC) from 1954 to 1998, among more than 10,000 arbovirus strains isolated from humans, hematophagous insects, and wild and sentinel vertebrates. Despite intensive studies in the Brazilian Amazon region, especially in Pará State, very little is known about most of these viruses, except for information on date, time, source, and method of isolation, as well as their capacity to infect laboratory animals. This paper reviews ecological and epidemiological data and analyzes the impact of vector and host population changes on various viruses as a result of profound changes in the natural environment. Deforestation, mining, dam and highway construction, human colonization, and urbanization were the main manmade environmental changes associated with the emergence and/or reemergence of relevant arboviruses, including some known pathogens for humans.
