1. Mobilizing a pluralist theoretical approach to understand microlending digital platforms: the AfricaMC case
Abstract Purpose This study aims to explore how a microlending digital platform connects social investors in developed countries and micro-entrepreneurs in Africa. However, additional research is necessary to discuss how online auction models are designed and implemented and how existing theories can explain their use in the so-called developing countries.

2. ON A NEW APPROACH TO PEIRCE’S THREE-VALUE PROPOSITIONAL LOGIC
Abstract In 1909, Peirce recorded in a few pages of his logic notebook some experiments with matrices for three-valued propositional logic. These notes are today recognized as one of the first attempts to create non-classical formal systems. However, besides the articles published by Turquette in the 1970s and 1980s, very little progress has been made toward

3. Perfil cientométrico da Quimiometria no Brasil
The interest of researchers in understanding the stage of development of specific areas of knowledge is a way to understand their scientific maturity and their capacity for consolidation. This “popularization” of the knowledge of researchers working in a specific area of knowledge also allows a greater ability to recognize where science is produced and w

4. AOPs são o futuro da ecotoxicologia?
ARE AOPs THE FUTURE OF ECOTOXICOLOGY? AOPs (Adverse Outcome Pathways) were introduced in the field of ecotoxicology due to the need of replacement of the classic system for assessing adverse results (considering only the mortality of organisms exposed to certain substances or mixtures) to a predictive system based on the measurement of biological events occu

5. A review of systems biology research of anxiety disorders
The development of “omic” technologies and deep phenotyping may facilitate a systems biology approach to understanding anxiety disorders. Systems biology approaches incorporate data from multiple modalities (e.g., genomic, neuroimaging) with functional analyses (e.g., animal and tissue culture models) and mathematical modeling (e.g., machine learning) to

6. Molecular mechanisms of organ damage in sepsis: an overview
ABSTRACT Sepsis is one of the most common reasons for hospitalization. This condition is characterized by systemic inflammatory response to infection. International definition of sepsis mainly points out a multi-organ dysfunction caused by a deregulated host response to infection. An uncontrolled inflammatory response, often referred to as "cytokine storm",

7. Characterization of Sobradinho landslide in fluvial valley using MASW and ERT methods
Abstract Landslides can substantially impact the fluvial systems, which is why the continuous mapping of their extent, evolution and stability assessment is crucial. However, in such environments, material identification (e.g. colluvium) and subsurface characterization by the methods used for geologic mapping and geotechnical investigation is often a challen

8. THE FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE OF BASIC SCIENCE: EXAMPLES OF HIGH-IMPACT DISCOVERIES FROM AN INTERNATIONAL CHEMISTRY NETWORK
During the last 150 years or more, society has witnessed many key scientific discoveries and inventions, which have dramatically improved not only our quality of life, but our lifespan. However, the motivation of scientists to provide scientific advances has generally not been the achievement of these goals, but mainly driven by research curiosity. Fundament

9. Experiential research for understanding the complexity of teaching and learning English as a foreign language
Abstract Narratives nestle complex nets of experiences, typical of dynamic systems. Disentangling them reveals their nature, broadening and deepening the understanding of complex language teaching and learning processes. In this paper, we present over 20 years of research done in Brazil, focusing on foreign language teaching and learning experiences. Reviewi

10. METABOLÔMICA DE PLANTAS: MÉTODOS E DESAFIOS
Metabolomics has played a central role in various areas of plant sciences, offering new perspectives for the advancement of agriculture, drug discovery, chemical ecology and taxonomy. Plant metabolomics (identification and quantification) aims to understand the relationship between biological systems and genetic, pathological and or environmental stimuli in

11. INTERAÇÕES INTERMOLECULARES E O FENÔMENO DA SOLUBILIDADE: EXPLICAÇÕES DE GRADUANDOS EM QUÍMICA
The present study investigated the use of intermolecular interaction concepts by freshman chemistry students during general chemistry classes, explaining some of the solubility phenomenon. For this purpose, classes on the topic in question were monitored and two tests were asking for explanations for the difference in solubility of oxygen and carbon dioxide

12. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - Political Ambition, Coalitions, and Accountability as Determinants of Ministerial Turnover in the Brazilian Multiparty Presidential System
The article aims at understanding the determinants of ministerial turnover in presidential systems. There are essentially three key factors that govern the propensity for ministerial turnover in a presidential system: 01. political ambition - reflected in the individual or collective strategies and tactics employed by the party-affiliated actors represented
