1. Surgical ‘Safari’ vs. Educational Program: Experience with International Cardiac Surgery Missions in Nigeria
Abstract Introduction: In any country, the development and growth of open-heart surgery parallel stable political climate, economic growth, good leadership, and prudent fiscal management. These were lacking in Nigeria, which was under a military rule. The enthronement of democratic rule, in 1999, has caused desirable changes. The objective of this study is

2. Incentivos e financiamentos para pesquisa e inovação na agricultura: estudo em fundações de pesquisas na região sul do Brasil
Resumo A agricultura brasileira cada vez mais se consolida como um dos principais produtores mundiais de alimentos. O grande desafio deste ramo é atender a demanda global que segundo a Food and Agriculture Organization, em 2050 será 60% superior a atual. Tal desafio é agravado pelas mudanças de hábitos alimentares, mudanças climáticas e impactos ambie

3. Do climate changes alter the distribution and transmission of malaria? Evidence assessment and recommendations for future studies
Abstract Malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease, is considered a significant global health burden. Climate changes or different weather conditions may impact infectious diseases, specifically those transmitted by insect vectors and contaminated water. Based on the current predictions for climate change associated with the increase in carbon dioxide con

4. Anthropogenic impacts on aquatic bacteria: a perspective from the tropics
Resumo O bacterioplâncton compreende um grupo altamente diversificado de microrganismos, que são dominantes nos ecossistemas aquáticos e desempenham um papel central no funcionamento desses ecossistemas e nos ciclos biogeoquímicos. Devido às suas elevadas taxas de dispersão e de mudança na composição, bem como alta adaptabilidade e plasticidade, os

5. Brazilian assessment on biodiversity and ecosystem services: summary for policy makers
Resumo: A biodiversidade e os ecossistemas são elementos importantes para enfrentar as crises socioeconômicas e ambientais nacionais e globais, uma vez que proporcionam novas oportunidades de desenvolvimento. Incorporar a biodiversidade na vida cotidiana é uma oportunidade de ouro para promover o uso sustentável da biodiversidade e dos serviços ecossist

6. Climatic Response of Cedrela fissilis Radial Growth in the Ombrophilous Mixed Forest, Paraná, Brazil
ABSTRACT We examined the climatic response of Cedrela fissilis radial growth based on precipitation, air relative humidity, temperature and monthly thermal amplitude. It was intended to assess how the secondary growth of C. fissilis is influenced by the climatic variables and which one are the best growth predictors in Ombrophilous Mixed Forest, southern Bra

7. Trends in Crop Reference Evapotranspiration and Climatological Variables Across Ceará State – Brazil
Resumo A irrigação representa uma parte substancial na demanda de água mundial. Em âmbito global, a retirada para a agricultura é de 69%. A irrigação é necessária para compensar o déficit em evapotranspiração (ET) devido à precipitação insuficiente. O conhecimento dos impactos das mudanças climáticas em variáveis meteorológicas que afetam

8. Using climate change models to assess the probability of weather extremes events: a local scale study based on the generalized extreme value distribution
ABSTRACT Regional climate models (e.g. Eta) nested to global climate models (e.g. HadGEM2-ES and MIROC5) have been used to assess potential impacts of climate change at regional scales. This study used the generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) to evaluate the ability of two nested models (Eta-HadGEM2-ES and Eta-MIROC5) to assess the probability of dai

9. Anticipating the response of the Brazilian giant earthworm (Rhinodrilus alatus) to climate change: implications for its traditional use
Abstract Our understanding of the impacts of ongoing global warming on terrestrial species has increased significantly during the last several years, but how climatic change has affected, and will affect, the distribution of earthworms remains largely unknown. We used climate niche modeling to model the current distribution of the giant earthworm Rhinodrilus

10. Global patterns of aboveground carbon stock and sequestration in mangroves
ABSTRACT In order to contribute to understand the factors that control the provisioning of the ecosystem service of carbon storage by mangroves, data on carbon stock and sequestration in the aboveground biomass (AGB) from 73 articles were averaged and tested for the dependence on latitude, climatic parameters, physiographic types and age. Global means of car

11. Population dynamics of Siderastrea stellata Verrill, 1868 from Rocas Atoll, RN: implications for predicted climate change impacts at the only South Atlantic atoll
ABSTRACT Coral reefs are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems to ocean warming and acidification, and it is important to determine the role of reef building species in this environment in order to obtain insight into their susceptibility to expected impacts of global changes. Aspects of the life history of a coral population, such as reproduction, growth an

12. Shallow aquifer response to climate change scenarios in a small catchment in the Guarani Aquifer outcrop zone
ABSTRACT Water availability restrictions are already a reality in several countries. This issue is likely to worsen due to climate change, predicted for the upcoming decades. This study aims to estimate the impacts of climate change on groundwater system in the Guarani Aquifer outcrop zone. Global Climate Models (GCM) outputs were used as inputs to a water b
