Sea-surface temperature and sea ice distribution of the Southern Ocean at the EPILOG Last Glacial Maximum

Based on the quantitative study of diatoms and radiolarians, summer sea-surface temperature (SSST) and sea ice distribution were estimated from 122 sediment core localities in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean to reconstruct the last glacial environment at the EPILOG (19.5-16.0 ka or 23 000-19 000 cal yr. B.P.) time-slice. The statistical methods applied include the Imbrie and Kipp Method, the Modern Analog Technique and the General Additive Model. Summer SSTs reveal greater surface-water cooling than reconstructed by CLIMAP (Geol. Soc. Am. Map Chart. Ser. MC-36 (1981) 1), reaching a maximum (4-5 °C) in the present Subantarctic Zone of the Atlantic and Indian sector. The reconstruction of maximum winter sea ice (WSI) extent is in accordance with CLIMAP, showing an expansion of the WSI field by around 100% compared to the present. Although only limited information is available, the data clearly show that CLIMAP strongly overestimated the glacial summer sea ice extent. As a result of the northward expansion of Antarctic cold waters by 5-10° in latitude and a relatively small displacement of the Subtropical Front, thermal gradients were steepened during the last glacial in the northern zone of the Southern Ocean. Such reconstruction may, however, be inapposite for the Pacific sector. The few data available indicate reduced cooling in the southern Pacific and give suggestion for a non-uniform cooling of the glacial Southern Ocean.

Overview of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in regards to the Brazilian epidemic

Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, belongs to the Flaviviridae family, genus Flavivirus. ZIKV was initially isolated in 1947 from a sentinel monkey in the Zika forest, Uganda. Little clinical importance was attributed to ZIKV, once only few symptomatic cases were reported in some African and Southeast Asiatic countries. This situation changed in 2007, when a large outbreak was registered on the Yap Island, Micronesia, caused by the Asian ZIKV lineage. Between 2013 and 2014, ZIKV spread explosively and caused many outbreaks in different islands of the Southern Pacific Ocean and in 2015 autochthonous transmission was reported in Brazil. Currently, Brazil is the country with the highest number of ZIKV-positive cases in Latin America. Moreover, for the first time after the discovery of ZIKV, the Brazilian scientists are studying the possibility for the virus to cause severe congenital infection related to microcephaly and serious birth defects due to the time-spatial coincidence of the alarming increase of newborns with microcephaly and the Brazilian ZIKV epidemic. The present review summarizes recent information for ZIKV epidemiology, clinical picture, transmission, diagnosis and the consequences of this emerging virus in Brazil.

Serie de documentos. Facultad de Jurisprudencia N° 72. Aspectos prácticos del proceso ante el Centro Internacional de Arreglo de Diferencias relativas a Inversiones (CIADI)

Los TBI (Tratado Bilateral de Inversión) o también denominado los APPI (Acuerdo de Protección y Promoción de las Inversiones) son acuerdos que buscan la Protección y la Promoción de las inversiones que hagan los nacionales de un Estado en otro Estado conocido como el “Estado Receptor”. Los TBI y APPI fueron concebidos dentro del proceso de descolonización que le siguió a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esto se debe a que los Estados que habían colonizado otros territorios, ahora Estados soberanos y sus nacionales, seguían teniendo fuertes lazos e intereses económicos. Con el ánimo de protegerse de posibles expropiaciones, los Estados europeos liderados por Alemania, firmaron un número importante de TBI y APPI, no solamente con sus antiguas colonias, sino con otras. De esta manera, Alemania, Suiza, Holanda, Italia, Bélgica y Suecia suscribieron al menos cuarenta tratados de este tipo con varios Estados asiáticos, africanos y del medio oriente entre 1959 y 1965. Estados Unidos se demoró unos veinte o treinta años más, porque los estadounidenses no solamente aspiraban a obtener protección para sus inversionistas, sino que además solicitaban que se abriera y liberara la economía de los Estados firmantes. Finalmente, fue en la administración de Ronald Reagan que los Estados Unidos comenzó a suscribirlos.
