Absolute Poverty and Sound public Finance in the Eurozone

The respect of fiscal parameters is supposed to be – according to the official position of the European institutions – the best recipe for granting stability and growth. This optimistic view appears to be in contrast with the recent increase in poverty. The aim of this paper is to individuate the existence of a relation between governments’ decisions about fiscal policy and absolute poverty in 19 Eurozone countries from 2005 to 2017. The attempt is to answer the question as to whether the effect on growth generated by fiscal policy measures can account for the objective of poverty alleviation. The results support the conclusion that absolute poverty increases in the presence of a restrictive fiscal policy, while it decreases in the opposite case. During declining macroeconomic conditions, national governments belonging to the Eurozone appear to be unable to reconcile the objective of sound public finance with that of poverty alleviatio

Exploring disorganized attachment style among Malay mothers in Malaysia: a study using the Attachment Style Interview

This article explores emerging themes involving disorganized attachment style among Malay Muslim mothers using the Attachment Style Interview (ASI). Analysis of the 18 mothers with disorganized attachment style (those with combined anxious and avoidant styles) utilized themes deemed important from the attachment research literature and selected based on a careful reading of the narrative cases. These include more extreme negative interpersonal experiences than found in other insecure attachment style descriptors, and included partner violence and related isolation/social exclusion. It also indicated more complex cognitive-affective disturbance including mixed or contradictory dependency patterns and both angry and fearful attitudes to others. We discuss the concept of disorganized attachment style in relation to abuse, social exclusion, and its implication for psychopathology, intervention, and treatment

Endophytic fungi of Paullinia cupana and its antimicrobial potential.

The objective of this study is to characterize P. cupana endophytic fungi and evaluate their antibiotic potential by agar diffusion test. Fruits and root fragments from 6 individuals were collected and sterilized with 70% ethanol and 2% sodium hypochlorite

Resistante to mercury of endophytic bacteria obtained in contaminated sites.

Strategies for remediation of soils contaminated with mercury (Hg) are important and necessary. Several bacterial species interfere with biogeochemical cycle of mercury and are potential tools in bioremediation and/or phytoremediation programs. These bacteria are resistant to mercury and the main mechanism of resistance is mediated by proteins codificated by operon mer. This study aims to determine the level of resistance to mercury of endophytic bacteria and detect the presence of merA gene

Endophytic bacterium isolated of hosts present in contaminated areas by mercury in Pantanal mato-grossense.

The mercury is a contaminant in gold mining in the city of Poconé. This heavy metal is a toxic in different organisms and affect the human by bioaccumulation process causing a serie of cronic diseases. Mercury can be easily absorbed by plants and be accumulated in the human body through the food chain. The hypothesis is microorganism that is in association with plants, that survive in contaminated areas with mercury, provide greater resistance to contaminant and possibly an increased frequency of colonization. In this way, the aim of this study was to isolate endophytic bacterium that exhibit resistance to mercury

Isolation of endophytic fungi in environments with and without traces of mercury contamination, Pantanal of Mato Grosso.

The mining activity in Mato Grosso is an economic source for many cities, especially in Poconé, where this activity is responsible for significant change in the landscape and the contamination of the ecosystem by mercury. This results in serious damage to biota enhanced by bioaccumulation capacity. Mercury is toxic to all organisms, however, some microorganisms have innate or acquired tolerance to metal. Therefore, our hypothesis is based on the premise that plants in contaminated environments with mercury harbor a specific community of endophytic fungi, therefore, variations in the colonization frequency of the endophytes in these plants are expected, when compared to places without contamination

Capacity resistance of endophytic fungi the mercury.

Contamination of biological systems by mercury represents a global concern, given the difficulty of degradation, persistence and potential toxicity of this metal in the environment. Remediation strategies of soils contaminated with mercury are required and the use of microorganisms as bioremediation agents is fully justified, in particular, the various mechanisms of tolerance to heavy metals allocated to them, particularly for fungi arising from various chemical processes, such as transformation valence, intra and extracellular precipitation and oxidation. Our hypothesis is that endophytic fungi isolated from areas contaminated by mercury present higher resistance to this metal

Antibiosis of actinomycetes from Paullina cupana var. sorbilis (mart.) Ducke against fungi pathogenic.

Guarana (Paullinia cupana var. Sorbilis (Mart.) Ducke) is a native species of economic and social importance in Brazil serving the domestic and international demands. This culture is attacked by Colletotrichum guaranicola Albuq. and Fusarium decencellulare Brick, causal agents of anthracnose and overbudding, respectively. Actinomycetes are bacteria that may produce secondary metabolites with antibacterial and antifungal potential. The isolation of endophytic with antibiosis agaist pathogenic fungi is the first step in biological control and bioprospecting antimicrobial compounds programs

Microbiol diversity in rhizosphere resistant and susceptible guarana collected in Maués and Manaus.

The rhizosphere is the soil region subject to influence of exudates released by plants and microorganisms (epiphytic and endophytic). In addition, this region has large variety of bacteria that can contribute to plant growth and/or inhibiting the activity of plant pathogens. The culture of guarana (Paullinia cupana var. Sorbilis (Mart.) Ducke) is threatened by the presence of the fungus Colletotrichum guaranicola Albuq. and Fusarium decencellulare Brick, causal agents of anthracnose and overbudding, respectively. In this work, the metabolic diversity of rhizospheric bacteria was studied in resistant (R) and susceptible (S) clones collected in Manaus (Mn) and Maués (Mu)
