Problèmes de structure dans les Andes. De la parenté, de la polygynie et des moitiés à Cuzco by R. Tom Zuidema

“…A comparable example had been given by van Wouden in 1956 from the landscape of Kodi on the island of Sumba, Indonesia, and Lévi-Strauss (1958 [1956]) himself had referred before to that of the Bororo, South America. Taking three aspects of the problem as discussed by Lévi-Strauss, I demonstrate the importance of these in the case of the Inca empire, Peru, and illustrate them with examples taken from here.…”

Coming to Accounts: Fraud and Muckraking in Charles W. Chesnutt’s The Marrow of Tradition by Mark David Kaufman

“…Chesnutt’s 1901 novel The Marrow of Tradition exposes the fallacious logic, the traces of the trade, which persisted in the figuration of racial relations in post-Reconstruction America. In doing so, Chesnutt’s novel participates in, or prefigures, a method of journalistic “muckraking” that was soon to characterize the first decade of the twentieth century.  …”

Advances in the Research on Brown Carbon Aerosols: Its Concentrations, Radiative Forcing, and Effects on Climate by Shuai Li, Hua Zhang, Zhili Wang, Yonghang Chen

“…Recent research suggests that: (1) Climate effects of aerosols can be represented more accurately when including BrC absorption in climate models; the regions with the highest global mean surface BrC concentrations estimated by models are mostly Southeast Asia and South America (biomass burning), East Asia and northeast India (biofuel burning), and Europe and North America (secondary sources); estimates of BrC radiative forcing are quite erratic, with a range of around 0.03–0.57 W m−2. (2) BrC heating lead to tropical expansion and a reduction in deep convective mass fluxes in the upper troposphere; cloud fraction and cloud type have a substantial impact on the heating rate estimates of BrC. …”

Spatiotemporal Pattern Evolution in Global Green Trade Networks: Implications for Health Economics by Haiyan Zhou, Shaobin Wei, Xun Xi, Haitao Zhou, Hao Hu

“…This is a typical network comprising “smaller worlds”; the focus of green product exports has largely stayed unchanged, while imports are shifting from North America and East Asia towards North America, Europe, and the Middle East; the spatial structure of the network shows a transition away from the original transcontinental “dual arch” pattern with the United States at the core towards a “transcontinental + intracontinental” one characterized by the coexistence of “multiple arches” centering around Europe and Asia; the trade network adopts a “point-to-point” model, with no obvious interdependence and competition between countries (regions); furthermore, geographically proximate and culturally similar countries are prone to have closer trade ties. …”
