    Abstract Alors que Claude Lévi-Strauss, dès 1962, célébrait les savoirs autochtones, il aura fallu attendre trente ans pour que, en 1992, la Convention sur la diversité biologique de Rio reconnaisse officiellement, pour la première fois, l'importance des savoirs autochtones face aux grands défis écologiques. Quelle est la nature, quels sont les multiples régimes des savoirs traditionnels ? Quels mondes peuvent-ils ouvrir, de par leur existence même, aux savoirs académiques ? Telles sont les questions ..

    Abstract "Este livro é o resultado de um percurso de pesquisa com contornos raros entre nós. Há cerca de uma década, Manuela Ivone Cunha iniciava o seu trabalho de campo no Estabelecimento Prisional de Tires. Hoje apresenta-nos os resultados da investigação realizada durante o seu regresso àquela instituição, num livro que é um ponto de viragem na antropologia portuguesa e no nosso entendimento da criminalidade, do que poderíamos chamar o sistema da droga e. num âmbito mais vasto, das estruturas de desigualdade na nossa sociedade."

    Abstract [Excerpt] Some 12 years after a previous research, in February 2020, at the start of extensive fieldwork on the state of the public controversy about vaccination in Portugal, France and California, travel became impossible, pro-vaccination conferences and anti-vaccination protests were tentatively postponed, then canceled. Participant observation and face-to-face interaction now have to be temporarily substituted by systematic internet attentiveness and remote interviews. But, while the epidemic hampers most social activities, it only reduces the number of arenas in which controversies can develop. Part of the energy that sustains them is reinvested in other means of intervention, namely online presence. Ethnographers have to mirror this migration with their techniques, while experiencing in their own lives the same changes and, to a variable extent, uncertainties affecting the people they accompany. With COVID-19, armchair anthropology reaches a whole new degree of participation and shared concerns. As practically everybody is involved in the same digital flux, individual variation is limited to the extent to which one chooses to replicate and disseminate the wartime and epidemiological metaphors that bolster the current public discourse. At the start of the pandemic, the most obvious increase in vaccination-related statements expressed pro-vaccination stances, ranging from pledges for proactive public policies (with a few apparent turnabouts, such as President Trump’s) to sceptical debunking in a more or less condescending tone, and to unreserved irony. A Los Angeles Times editorial asked “With coronavirus, will anti-vaxxers listen now?”. After this surge came a clear decrease in triumphalist posts such as “To all the anti-vaxxers out there: HOW DO YOU LIKE THE DEMO VERSION OF A WORLD WITHOUT VACCINES SO FAR?”. Vaccination-doubters have regained their usual online preeminence. The pandemic might indeed steer the more flexible among them towards acceptance, but anxiety also gives more appeal and effectiveness to fringe ideas: in the UK, the theory linking COVID-19 to 5G roll-out swiftly resulted in harassment of telecom technicians and arson.

    Abstract Economic arrangements of Romanies are complexly related to their social position. Authors explore these complexities, including how economic exchanges forge key social relationships of gender and ethnicity, how economic opportunities are constructed and seized, and how economic success and failure are transformed into attributes of social persons. They explore how, despite -- or perhaps because of -- their unstable and ambiguous position within the market economy, shared today with a growing number of people facing precarity and informalisation, Roma and Gypsy communities continuously re-create more or less viable economic strategies. The ethnographically based chapters share accounts of socially and vulnerable populations that face their situation with self-determination and creativity. - Provided by publisher

    Abstract Background: Urban agriculture has been evidenced as a food production and environmental sustainability strategy, although it faces many obstacles in Latin American countries. Additionally, in urban areas, low consumption of fruit and greenery is noticeable, along with loss in food diversity, including the neglected and underutilized species (NUS), which involve potential to strengthen local food systems. For this reason, this work has sought to map urban gardens in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, characterizing their gardeners, and to systematize information regarding food produced and the use of NUS.
    Methods: The municipality's urban gardens were mapped and data was collected from the gardeners. The study included two steps: (i) garden localization; (ii) on-site visits for interviews with gardeners and verification of cultivated food, destination of production, availability, and use of NUS.
    Results: Eighteen active food gardens were located, seventeen of which participated in the study: eight (8) communal (UCG) and nine (9) private (UPG). Respondents were on average 55.76 years old, mostly (52.9%) male, working at UPG (88.9%). Women predominated in the UCG (87.5%), with higher levels of education. For 52.9% of the interviewees, the garden was their main source of income. Food produced at the urban gardens was consumed by 82.4% of the gardeners and their families. In 70.6% of the gardens, production was also sold, while 47.1% donated. During the survey, 59 NUS were found and 76.5% of respondents reported consuming 19 of the species. NUS leaves, fruits, and seeds were found to be eaten raw, boiled, or sautéed in various preparations, especially Coleus amboinicus Lour. (76.5%), Eryngium foetidum L. (35.3%), Talinum fruticosum (L.) Juss., and Pereskia aculeata Mill (both 29.4%). Occurrence and utilization of NUS did not present significant associations with the gardens or gardeners (p > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Salvador urban gardens, even in small numbers and without government support, have produced affordable food for the local population, preserved food diversity, and the tradition of NUS cultivation and use. Thus, urban gardens are reaffirmed as relevant spaces that should be included in public policies in order to promote food and nutritional security, biodiversity, and urban environmental sustainability.

  9. Article ; Online: Dietary methionine as a strategy to improve innate immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles.

    Abstract Methionine ability to enhance fish immune status and inflammatory response by the modulation of methionine-related pathways has been verified in several fish species. However, no attention has been given to the role of methionine as an immune-modulatory additive in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of short-term feeding a diet supplemented with dl-methionine on the rainbow trout immune status. For this purpose, two diets were formulated: a control (CTRL) diet including the AA profile required to meet the ideal pattern estimated for rainbow trout; and an experimental diet (MET) identical to the CTRL but supplemented with dl-methionine two fold above its requirement level. After 2 and 4 weeks, fish haematological profile, peripheral cell populations, plasma and skin mucus humoral immune parameters as well as head-kidney gene expression were analysed. Results showed that methionine was able to improve peripheral neutrophil numbers after 4 weeks of feeding while reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (i.e. IL1β and IL8). Also, indications of fish physiological ability to regulate polyamine biosynthesis were found by the reduced expression of the spermine synthase enzyme (SMS). Together, these results point to some level of enhancement of the cellular-related innate immune status by dietary dl-methionine supplementation after a short-term feeding period, which could be used as a prophylactic strategy for rainbow trout health management.
