As estatísticas localizadas no Brasil: um caleidoscópio das categorias territoriais by Cathy Chatel, Maria Encarnação Beltrão Sposito

“…The avatars of the current situation are symptomatic of the paradigm of complexity that increasingly influences the quantitative approach in the social sciences and more generally reflects a break between citizens, policies and the logic of experts. Based on an in-depth analysis of territorial categories produced by the IBGE, the article uses these sources to understand the criteria that prevail in the divisions of space and in the definition of the urban space by the institution in order to assess the interest and limitations of using these sources of information. …”

From Biophysical Calculation to Financial Risk Assessment: Three Worlds of Accounting for Nature by Sylvain Maechler, Valérie Boisvert

“…Based on an analysis of these three worlds, we suggest that the growing influence of accounting thought and practices on nature, especially in their most recent forms, leads not so much to its commodification or financialization as to its invisibility or dilution in the logic of financial capitalist reproduction. Finally, we question the possible emergence of a unified regime of accounting for nature.…”

On the epistemology of resilience in public health: a novel perspective in a changing world by Alessandro Jatobá, Paula Castro-Nunes, Paulo Victor Rodrigues de Carvalho

“…Resilience, often ambiguously defined, is reexamined here as a critical attribute of public health systems, enabling them to adapt, absorb, and respond to routine and extraordinary demands without compromising universal and equitable service delivery. By integrating logical, sociological, historical, and philosophical perspectives, the paper delineates resilience as a structured and measurable concept, distinguishing it from common ambiguities in academic and policy discourse. …”

Network model and topology control algorithm based on hierarchical autonomous system in space information network by Wei ZHANG, Geng-xin ZHANG, Dong-ming BIAN, Liang GOU, Zhi-dong XIE

“…Due to the distinguishing characteristics of space information network (SIN) such as large scale,high component complexity and dynamic,a novel network model based on hierarchical autonomous system (AS) was proposed.This model divided the complex SIN into simpler AS and sub-AS networks according to node properties,link capabilities,task features,distribution areas,etc.In these AS or sub-AS networks,different control strategies could be adopted.In this way,the dynamic network was decoupled into semi-static sub-networks,and the high dynamic coupling problem among sub-networks was solved.Then,an AS network topology control algorithm based on the hierarchical autonomous system model was proposed to minimize the time delay in the SIN.Compared with most existing approaches for SIN where either the purely centralized or the purely distributed control method was adopted,the proposed algorithm was a hybrid control method.In order to reduce the cost of control,the control message exchange was constrained among neighboring sub-AS networks.It is proved that the proposed algorithm achieve logical k-connectivity on the condition that the original physical topology is k-connectivity.Simulation results validate the theoretical analysis and effectiveness of the algorithm.…”
