Los nudos de la memoria: activismos sexo-disidentes y de mujeres indígenas por una historia a contrapelo by Sofía Soria, Pascual Scarpino

“…En un segundo momento, valiéndonos de la noción de nudos feministas propuesta por Julieta Kirkwood, analizamos las impugnaciones que determinados activismos hacen en torno a los modos hegemónicos de interpretar “la” memoria ―en singular―: para el caso del activismo sexo-disidente, tomamos las intervenciones de Ivanna Aguilera y Eugenio Talbot Wright; mientras que para el caso del activismo de mujeres indígenas, nos detenemos en las intervenciones de Moira Millán. Con base en el análisis de las implicancias de la reivindicación del “30.400 desaparecidxs” en el primer caso, y del “doble genocidio” en el segundo, mostramos cómo ambas luchas se hermanan para demarcar dimensiones témporo-espaciales que invitan a repensar las fronteras de la memoria. …”

Spatiotemporal simulation of blue-green space pattern evolution and carbon storage under different SSP-RCP scenarios in Wuhan by Guiyuan Li, Wangzhen Wang, Bowen Li, Zhongyuan Duan, Liang Hu, Jingwen Liu

“…As a result, immediate action is required to undertake climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. This study, based on the causal logic of climate change, blue-green space patterns, and carbon emissions, uses the system dynamics (SD) model, patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model, and integrated valuation of ecosystem service and trade-offs (InVEST) models to simulate the evolution of blue-green space patterns and predict the spatial distribution of carbon storage in Wuhan to 2060 from 2030 under three SSP-RCP scenarios from CMIP6 and investigates their mechanisms. …”

Toxic Assessment of Heavily Traffic-related Fine Particulate Matter Using an in-vivo Wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans Model by Meng-Ching Chung, Kuo-Lin Huang, Japheth L. Avelino, Lemmuel L. Tayo, Chih-Chung Lin, Ming-Hsien Tsai, Sheng-Lun Lin, Wan Nurdiyana Wan Mansor, Ching-Kai Su, Sen-Ting Huang

“…For the neurological toxicity, it is inferred that the higher the PM2.5 concentrations, the more the adverse effects of neurobehavior (head trashing and body bending) it poses on the C. elegans. The lifespans of nematodes exposed to heavily TRAP PM2.5 were significantly shortened compared with those of untreated ones based on survival rate. …”

Genotypic variability of Pinus sylvestris L. on the drought-resistance attribute by E. Yu. Amineva, A. P. Gureev, T. M. Tabatskaya, O. S. Mashkina, V. N. Popov

“…The expediency of applying the biotechnological approach was proved by analysis of the gene expression level of stress proteins: the level of AbaH gene expression correlates greatly with the indicator of the viability of callus cultures, including ones on a nutrient medium with an additional stress agent (NaCl). Trees that can be assigned to drought-resistant ones, according to the results of the analysis, should be recommended for use in breeding.…”
