1. (DIS)EMPOWERMENT OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN ORSON SCOTT CARD’S THE TALES OF ALVIN MAKER
Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze the portrayal of Native Americans in Orson Scott Card’s The Tales of Alvin Maker (1987-2003), an alternative history of the US, in which the author condemns the country’s colonial history. However, in spite of his obvious sympathy for Native people, Card does not manage to avoid the traps awaiting a non-Nati

2. The Ecology and Conservation of Wild Rice, Zizania palustris L., in North America
Resumo O Arroz selvagem é uma espécie de planta enigmática da parte do centro-norte dos EUA. O arroz selvagem (Zizania palustris L.) é encontrado em muitos locais nessa região. Contudo, é uma espécie selvagem, mas ao mesmo tempo produzida de forma semi-domesticada. É uma planta enigmática porque é produzido e colhido em grandes alagados por fazend

3. How strong was the bottleneck associated to the peopling of the Americas? New insights from multilocus sequence data
Abstract In spite of many genetic studies that contributed for a deep knowledge about the peopling of the Americas, no consensus has emerged about important parameters such as the effective size of the Native Americans founder population. Previous estimates based on genomic datasets may have been biased by the use of admixed individuals from Latino populatio

4. Uniparental ancestry markers in Chilean populations
Abstract The presence of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans has led to the development of a multi-ethnic, admixed population in Chile. This study aimed to contribute to the characterization of the uniparental genetic structure of three Chilean regions. Newborns from seven hospitals in Independencia, Providencia, Santiago, Curicó, Cauquenes, Valdívia

5. Desempleo y salud mental en la población de origen hispano en Estados Unidos: un análisis epidemiológico
Abstract The high unemployment rates observed in the United States during the recent economic crisis, that moreover vary between ethnic groups, make it relevant to inquire into how this problem is linked to the mental health of employed and unemployed persons. Therefore, in this paper the relationship between unemployment and mental health among Mexican immi

6. Análise da dispersão das populações nativas americanas: uma abordagem genético-fisiográfica / Dispersion analysis of the native american populations: a genetic-fisiographyc approach
Until recently, the settlement of the Americas was seen as the product of a \"bow wave\" human expansion from north do south. Under this scenario, the archaeological sites of the first americans should obey a chronological gradient following the same logic, independent of their longitude. Recently, however, specialists began to recognize that certain charact

7. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Kaingang native americans in southern Brazil
The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and obesity among a Brazilian indigenous population. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2008 among Kaingang native Americans from the central region of the state of Paraná, Brazil. Eighty two of the inhabitants aged 15 or older were selected. Height, weight

8. Genetic variation and population structure in native americans
We examined genetic diversity and population structure in the American landmass using 678 autosomal microsatellite markers genotyped in 422 individuals representing 24 Native American populations sampled from North, Central, and South America. These data were analyzed jointly with similar data available in 54 other indigenous populations worldwide, including

10. Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the Beijing genotype are rarely observed in tuberculosis patients in South America
The frequency of the Beijing genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a cause of tuberculosis (TB) in South America was determined by analyzing genotypes of strains isolated from patients that had been diagnosed with the disease between 1997 and 2003 in seven countries of the subcontinent. In total, 19 of the 1,202 (1.6%) TB cases carried Beijing isolates,

11. Genetic relationships among native americans based on beta-globin gene cluster haplotype frequencies
The distribution of b-globin gene haplotypes was studied in 209 Amerindians from eight tribes of the Brazilian Amazon: Asurini from Xingú, Awá-Guajá, Parakanã, Urubú-Kaapór, Zoé, Kayapó (Xikrin from the Bacajá village), Katuena, and Tiriyó. Nine different haplotypes were found, two of which (n. 11 and 13) had not been previously identified in Brazi

12. Estudo molecular dos alelos DI A/DI B e da banda 3-memphis na população brasileira
The Diego blood group system consists of21 antigens located on band 3 of the red blood cell membrane. It includes the 4 antithetical antigens Dia / Dib and Wra / Wrb, and 17 low incidence antigens. The Dia phenotype results from a point mutation at nucleotide 2561 (T>C) leading to a single amino acid substitution from Leu (Dia) to Pro (Dib) in position 854.
