    Abstract This publication discusses the international Zero Hunger agenda in light of the achievements of the Fome Zero programme in Brazil. It revisits successful initiatives and discusses current actions, while also critically assessing new and growing challenges to the global food security agenda: obesity and climate change.

    Abstract Reprogramming is traditionally defined as the fate conversion of a cell to a stage of increased developmental potential. In its broader meaning, the reprogramming term is also applied to all forms of cell fate conversion that do not follow a developmental trajectory. Reprogramming is now a well-established field of research that gained rapid progress upon the advent of induced pluripotency. In this perspective, I reflect on the reprogramming lessons of the past, in the contributions to other fields of research and on the potential transformative future use of reprogrammed cells and of its cell derivatives.

    Abstract Fingerprints are unique patterns used as biometric keys because they allow an individual to be unambiguously identified, making their application in the forensic field a common practice. The design of a system that can match the details of different images is still an open problem, especially when applied to large databases or, to real-time applications in forensic scenarios using mobile devices. Fingerprints collected at a crime scene are often manually processed to find those that are relevant to solving the crime. This work proposes an efficient methodology that can be applied in real time to reduce the manual work in crime scene investigations that consumes time and human resources. The proposed methodology includes four steps: (i) image pre-processing using oriented Gabor filters; (ii) the extraction of minutiae using a variant of the Crossing Numbers method which include a novel ROI definition through convex hull and erosion followed by replacing two or more very close minutiae with an average minutiae; (iii) the creation of a model that represents each minutia through the characteristics of a set of polygons including neighboring minutiae; (iv) the individual search of a match for each minutia in different images using metrics on the absolute and relative errors. While in the literature most methodologies look to validate the entire fingerprint model, connecting the minutiae or using minutiae triplets, we validate each minutia individually using n-vertex polygons whose vertices are neighbor minutiae that surround the reference. Our method also reveals robustness against false minutiae since several polygons are used to represent the same minutia, there is a possibility that even if there are false minutia, the true polygon is present and identified; in addition, our method is immune to rotations and translations. The results show that the proposed methodology can be applied in real time in standard hardware implementation, with images of arbitrary orientations.

    Abstract Brazil's main goal is zero deforestation and degradation (ZDD) in the Amazon. Existing policies do not consider the region's heterogeneity. Integrated sectoral policies are necessary for consolidating sustainable subregional territories. To protect the world's largest tropical forest while improving local people's lives, government agencies must overcome funding shortfalls and gaps in coordination.
