Summary: A significant amount of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is currently taking place on public forestlands without proper land titles, often due to illegal land grabbing. In order to address this emerging risk, long-term conservation strategies should emphasize securing land tenure, improving technological capabilities, and enforcing existing laws.

Summary: This paper investigates the stability of the finite time type II blow up solutions for the energy critical nonlinear wave equation. It shows that these solutions are stable along a co-dimension one Lipschitz manifold of data perturbations in a suitable topology, provided the scaling parameter is sufficiently close to the self-similar rate.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the frequency and types of COA violations in US pharmaceutical promotional materials identified by the FDA. The results showed a decrease in the number of WLs and ULs issued in recent years, but still found that 25% of the letters involved COA infringements (with 23% related to PRO issues), indicating an increasing FDA attention to patient-focused drug development.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between smoking, type 2 diabetes, and the Tcf7L2 gene. While the genotype TT linked to type 2 diabetes smoked the least, the small differences in daily cigarette consumption between genotype groups may not have significant clinical implications due to the large sample size. Further investigation is needed to explore the potential intermediary genes between type 2 diabetes and smoking.

Summary: The persistence of non-native pronunciation is a well-known phenomenon in second language acquisition research. Previous linguistic knowledge, including trained articulation skills and the ability to accurately recognize and define new targets, plays a significant role in explaining this. This study aims to describe the interphonology of three groups of learners whose native languages are Spanish, Italian, and French, focusing on the area of consonant phonological system known as rhotics. Data from oral productions were collected and analyzed for levels of convergence and deviations. The results reveal different patterns related to native language and syntagmatic context.

Summary: This paper discusses the social, cognitive, and affective consequences of the devastating earthquake that struck the Banija region on December 29, 2020. It argues that the natural disaster serves not only as a catastrophe but also as a form of catharsis, exposing political negligence, difficult pasts, and deep connections to the environment. The author interprets personal narratives and solidarity as the foundation for building new affective communities and resolving national narratives, contributing to community empowerment. The paper utilizes participatory ethnography, folk narrative theory, ethnography of the senses, and the concept of "deep implicancy" to understand the human connection to all matter. The author concludes that villagers, living with and depending on nature, make sense of their unique experiences of disaster by comparing them with others' suffering and constructing a narrative frame that combines personal and cosmological elements.

Summary: This article points out that the root causes of the Italian decline lie in the distortions of collective action. Both the elite and the people engage in perverse behavior, with the elite extracting income and wealth to the detriment of society while the people pursue small special interests by circumventing formal institutions. This situation intensifies national dualisms.
