• Abstract

  This project proposes to prove the existence of arbitrarily close, equiresolvable Nash approximations to germs of real and complex analytic spaces. This is a continuation of the work in the author's PhD thesis "Equisingular Approximation of Analytic Germs", which concerns the general problem of approximating real and complex analytic germs by germs that are Nash or algebraic and which ret…

• Abstract

  We study the geometry and gauge theory of G2 manifolds with conical singularities, and those have collapsing circle fibers. Our goal is to produce examples, both of these manifolds and instantons on them, clarifying the relationship between the singular limit and the G2-manifolds resolving these singularities. (AU)

• Abstract

  We intend to reflect about corporality and the place that children take in the social organization construction and reproduction of an Ayahuasca community. To this end, we propose an ethnographic research with ayahuasca children, recognizing their agency in the creation and negotiation of rules and forms of learning that relate to the Daime community. In effect, immersed in the contributi…

• Abstract

  The womb of enslaved women played a fundamental role in the establishment of slavery in the Americas. Through the roman principle partus sequitur ventrem, it was defined that a person's condition of slavery would be linked to the status of his mother. The matrilineal nature of slavery made enslaved women and their bodies play central roles as producers and reproducers of slave wealth thro…

• Abstract

  This research proposes the study of the reception, acclimatization and appropriation of Fernando Pessoa in France through the intertextual prism. Based on a reading proposal that is independent of the horizon of expectations projected by the writer, and relatively distant from the Portuguese interpretive community, the present investigation focuses on the literary bases on which the fusio…

• Abstract

  Abstract Air pollution and climate change and its catastrophic effects are already a global reality, which can also be observed in Brazil by the irregular rainfall regime and disparities in temperature seasonality, for instance. Relationships between air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO and O3) and health outcomes have been focused by many studies, in order to comprehend the relation…
