Capítulo de Livro Ecosystem Resilience for Climate Resilience, Strategies and Innovations: A Case Study from Developing Countries(2025) Beck, Donizete; Pal, Anindita; Zaveri, Purvi; Zheng, Anran; Tiwari, Atul K.; Majumdar, SushobhanThis chapter examines the strategies and innovations necessary for enhancing ecosystem resilience to climate change, focusing on developing countries. It highlights the importance of biodiversity and structural diversity in increasing resilience, suggesting that management practices promoting heterogeneity can mitigate climate warming impacts. Ecosystem restoration is highlighted as a critical strategy involving identifying and removing stressors such as pollution and land degradation. Techniques like plant establishment, topsoil replacement and reestablishment of microbial flora are essential for restoring ecosystem health and ensuring long-term recovery. Capacity building through educational programs is crucial for promoting sustainable practices and fostering climate-resilient ecosystems. Higher education institutions play a significant role in embedding sustainability principles and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration despite challenges like limited resources. Technological solutions, particularly AI, are emphasized for their potential to improve climate predictions and support proactive adaptation strategies. These technologies can enhance decision-making strategies. While the theoretical underpinnings of ecosystem resilience are extensively documented, there still needs to be a more practical application of effective strategies within resource-constrained environments, necessitating the promotion of customized methodologies to tackle the distinct obstacles encountered by developing nations. Obstacles to the implementation process, such as inadequate education, insufficient infrastructure, and the lack of localized data, are acknowledged as significant challenges. Addressing these challenges necessitates a dedication to capacity building and promoting accessible technological innovations. This paper advocates for a multifaceted approach that integrates ecosystem restoration, capacity building, technological solutions, and community-based strategies to enhance ecosystem resilience and climate change mitigation efforts in developing countries.Livro RNA, the Epicenter of Genetic Information(2023) Mattick, John; PAULO DE PAIVA ROSA AMARALThe origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate history. This book documents the many advances, as well as the prejudices and founder fallacies. It highlights the premature relegation of RNA to simply an intermediate between gene and protein, the underestimation of the amount of information required to program the development of multicellular organisms, and the dawning realization that RNA is the cornerstone of cell biology, development, brain function and probably evolution itself. Key personalities, their hubris as well as prescient predictions are richly illustrated with quotes, archival material, photographs, diagrams and references to bring the people, ideas and discoveries to life, from the conceptual cradles of molecular biology to the current revolution in the understanding of genetic information.

An inquiry about liberty and well-being(2023) Maciel, Vladimir Fernandes; Gamboa, Ulisses Monteiro Ruiz de; Scarano, Paulo Rogério; Portillo, Julian AlexiencoCapítulo de Livro Artificial intelligence: dependency, coloniality and technological subordination in Brazil(2023) RODOLFO DA SILVA AVELINOCapítulo de Livro New Forms of Shared Governance and Local Action Plan in Socially Vulnerable Settlements(2022) Leite, Carlos; Alvim, Angélica Tanus Benatti; Schröder, Jörg; Marques, Andresa Ledo; Getlinger, DanielaTransition peripheries: The entry presents two innovative dimensions in socially vulnerable settlements upgrading programs: first, the shared governance process which is developed with a strong presence of organized civil society through the articulation of a nongovernmental organization (NGO) network and the local community; second, a local action plan – Neighborhood Plan – developed with the community. The entry presents the case study of Jardim Lapena, a socially vulnerable settlement in the periphery of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in terms of advances, limitations, and lessons learned, as well as discussions for potential replicability in other cities in the Global South.Capítulo de Livro City Financing and Social Urbanism in Latin America: The Importance of Good Fiscal Management(2021) Eguino, Huáscar; Leite, CarlosEach territory and culture within Latin American cities has unique characteristics which sometimes make it difficult to define a common ground between their urban dynamics. However, through more specialized reading, some dysfunctional symptoms can be perceived as recurrent patterns among South American urban systems. This includes the urgency for decent affordable housing and basic infrastructure and the need for public facilities and transportation systems in the most peripheral and vulnerable regions of larger cities. In developing countries, the highest population densities are found precisely in highly socially vulnerable informal territories on the cities’ peripheries; at the same time, urban centers do not fully utilize their capacity in terms of existing infrastructure. It is a land use unbalance that reflects the incongruity of urban economic development. An analysis of these territories under the light of social urbanism shows that the priority of the public sector must be...Capítulo de Livro The Experimental Jurisprudence of the Concept of Rule: Implications for the Hart-Fuller Debate(2023) GUILHERME DA FRANCA COUTO FERNANDES DE ALMEIDA; Struchiner, Noel; Hannikainen, Ivar R.Capítulo de Livro What Do We Mean by Precedent? Empirical Evidence of Ordinary Usage(2022) Andrade, Priscila C. de; GUILHERME DA FRANCA COUTO FERNANDES DE ALMEIDA; Hannikainen, Ivar R.; Struchiner, NoelLegal theorists disagree about the nature of precedent. In a purely descriptive sense, what does it mean to say that a particular case sets a precedent? Does it (a) establish a rule that is deductively applied to subsequent cases (the deductive view), or (b) trace a relevant dimension of factual resemblance between the source case and subsequent cases by analogy (the analogical view)? To answer these questions, we conducted a series of three studies on the matter. In Study 1, we documented people’s tendency to adopt the analogical interpretation over the deductive one. Theorists have also debated whether, normatively, judges ought to apply precedents deductively or analogically—with some arguing that the analogical view affords excessive discretionary power. Yet, the results of Studies 2 and 3 undermine this claim: While participants did indeed infer more specific rules than analogical features (Study 2), the generality of analogical interpretation was not driven by the opportunity to treat prior cases as precedents (Study 3). These findings suggest that the analogical view is prevalent among the folk, while undermining some of the normative arguments against it.Capítulo de Livro Green Bonds: Debt at the crossroad between finance, law and ecology(2022) Ferrando, Tomaso; GABRIELA DE OLIVEIRA JUNQUEIRA; Miola, Iage; Prol, Flavio Marques; Coutinho, Diogo R.reen bonds are one of the latest financial instruments to join in the game of financing for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Presented as innovative, they are increasingly promoted throughout the world as a low-cost and appealing way for public and private actors to access liquidity to finance activities or projects that contribute to climate change mitigation and (although in a limited way) adaptation. However, they are just a specific way of for public and private actors to raise capital through debt. At the crossroads between law, finance, society and environment, green bonds raise important questions and offer a privileged entry point to discuss the implications of adapting mainstream financial responses, that is, debt, to address the ongoing ecological crises. This chapter provides a multi-disciplinary and critical overview of green bonds as a financial instrument that keeps together multiple actors and spaces and offers some reflections on specific cases that illuminate the manifold nature of this instrument and some of the most significant concerns that they raise. The aim is to draw an introductory framework to green bonds and enrich it with a critical assessment of green bonds’ expansion, current uses and limitations.Capítulo de Livro The Jurisprudence of the Supreme Federal Tribunal of Brazil(2024) RAFAEL SCAVONE BELLEM DE LIMA; IVAR ALBERTO GLASHERSTER MARTINS LANGE HARTMANN; DIEGO WERNECK ARGUELHES
