South–South student mobility: International students from Portuguese-speaking Africa in Brazil

As a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon, student mobility involves diverse actors, interests and rationalities. With the globalization of education, universities and other higher education providers have implemented strategies to recruit and attract international students, not least to increase their revenues and levels of internationalization (Findlay et al. 2017). Likewise, destination countries have acknowledged the advantages of hosting international students: financial benefits, an increase in the skilled worker pool and improvements in diplomatic relations (Riaño et al. 2018). Origin countries meanwhile identify student mobility as a means through which talented individuals can become qualified via moving to countries with well-developed higher education system (Findlay 2010). And students themselves, and their families, recognize the potential impact of an international diploma on employability, making them instrumental in establishing educational mobility imperatives at tertiary level (Alberts and Hazen 2005; Holloway et al. 2012).info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

The role of Seed Associations on crop production: how to globalize Brazil in the world seed market?

ABRATES (Brazilian Association of Seed Technology) is a scientific non-profit organization, founded in 1970. Its members consist of research scientists, professors, students and other professionals related to the seed sector, and seed producing companies. The major objectives of ABRATES are: support and stimulate scientific work and teaching on seed technology; disseminate results of scientific and technical papers of interest to the seed sector; cooperate with individuals or entities, public or private, on issues related to seed technology; suggest methods and uniform practices, aimed at improving seed technology in the country. These objectives are achieved by implementing various actions. Three Brazilian Seed Seminars and 17 editions of the Brazilian Seed Congress have been offered. In these events, 7,797 papers were delivered. Eleven editions of the Brazilian Symposium on Seed Pathology, five of the Brazilian Symposium of Forest Seeds, and three of the Brazilian Workshop on Seed Quality Control have been offered by ABRATES. The association edits the Brazilian Seed Journal (Revista Brasileira de Sementes), first published in 1979. A total of 1,722 research papers have been published so far. Since 1990, ABRATES has edited the ABRATES Newsletter (Informativo ABRATES), containing more practical technical articles, news and the abstracts of the Brazilian Seed Congress and other scientific events promoted by the association. In 2012, a new electronic publication was implemented: ABRATES in Focus (ABRATES em Foco), which is a monthly newsletter delivering technical news, interviews, and other information by e-mail. All these three publications can be accessed by the association site (www.abrates.org.br). The association is also in the social network, using Facebook and Twitter. ABRATES edits books and handbooks related to the seed area, dealing with subjects such as seed vigor procedures, sampling, analysis, seed processing, seed pathology and forest seeds. Since 2011, it has been involved in offering training courses to the seed sector, dealing with the specialization of Seed Physiology, Seed Sampling, Seed Analysis, and Seed and Seedling Image Analysis. Basically, all this effort is devoted to the seed production sector, aiming the production of high quality seeds and seedlings of several species

Cosmological lepton asymmetry with a nonzero mixing angle \theta_{13}

While the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is nowadays well measured by cosmological observations, the bounds on the lepton asymmetry in the form of neutrinos are still significantly weaker. We place limits on the relic neutrino asymmetries using some of the latest cosmological data, taking into account the effect of flavor oscillations. We present our results for two different values of the neutrino mixing angle \theta_{13}, and show that for large \theta_{13} the limits on the total neutrino asymmetry become more stringent, diluting even large initial flavor asymmetries. In particular, we find that the present bounds are still dominated by the limits coming from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, while the limits on the total neutrino mass from cosmological data are essentially independent of \theta_{13}. Finally, we perform a forecast for COrE, taken as an example of a future CMB experiment, and find that it could improve the limits on the total lepton asymmetry approximately by up to a factor 6.6.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, 5 tables. v2: updated COrE specifications. v3: matches Phys.
