    A necessidade de aprofundamento nos estudos sobre os movimentos conservadores e autoritários nacionais se mostra cada vez mais presente, além de trazer respostas e outras tantas perguntas sobre o presente que vivenciamos no momento de escrita deste trabalho. A pesquisa analisa as transformações discursivas nos escritos de Luís Alexandre Compagnoni, publicadas no jornal O Pioneiro, entre os anos 1948 e 1950. O personagem em questão foi membro da Ação Integralista Brasileira na década de 1930 e, em 1948, foi um dos principais fundadores do jornal analisado no trabalho. Através da Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011) e da Análise de Discurso Crítica (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001), atentamos para a constituição e para as possíveis mudanças no discurso empregado pelo autor nos primeiros anos de circulação do impresso. A análise das mudanças e permanências discursivas é feita através da comparação entre os escritos de Compagnoni na década de 1930 e o que escreveu em fins da década de 1940 e início da de 1950. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]The need for further studies on national conservative and authoritarian movements is increasingly present, in addition to providing answers and many other questions about the present that we experienced at the time of writing this work. The research analyzes the discursive transformations in the writings of Luís Alexandre Compagnoni, published in the newspaper O Pioneiro, between the years 1948 and 1950. The character in question was a member of the Brazilian Integralist Action in the 1930s and, in 1948, was one of the main founders of the newspaper analyzed at this study. Through Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011) and Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001), we pay attention to the constitution and the possible changes in the discourse used by the author in the first years of circulation of the print. The analysis of discursive changes and permanences is made through the comparison between Compagnoni's writings in the 1930s and what he wrote in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

    What Arthroscopic Skills Need to Be Trained Before Continuing Safe Training in the Operating Room?

    The purpose of this study was to generate consensus among experienced surgeons on "what skills a resident should possess before continuing safe training in the operating room (OR)." An online survey of 65 questions was developed and distributed to surgeons in the European community. A total of 216 responded. The survey included 15 questions regarding generic and specific skills; 16 on patient and tissue manipulation, 11 on knowledge of pathology and 6 on inspection of e-anatomical structures; 5 methods to prepare residents; and 12 on specific skills exercises. The importance of each question (arthroscopic skill) was evaluated ranging from 1 (not important at all) to 6 (very important). Chi-square test, respondent agreement, and a qualitative ranking method were determined to identify the top ranked skills (p 134, p 0.85, and all " high priority" level). The top ranked 2 specific arthroscopic skills were " portal placement" and " triangulating the tip of the probe with a 30-degree scope" (chi-square test > 176, p <0.001, excellent agreement, and assigned high priority). The online survey identified consensus on skills that are considered important for a trainee to possess before continuing training in the OR. Compared with the Canadian colleagues, the European arthroscopy community demonstrated similar rankin

    The impact of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU food chain: A quantitative and economic assessment using an environmentally extended input-output approach

    In order to provide a valuable knowledge basis for future global warming mitigation strategies and policy implementation, this study carries out an integrated assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the EU-25 food supply chain, considering the highest available level of product disaggregation. Based on an environmentally extended input-output (EE-IO) approach, we estimate the environmental impacts resulting from the ‘food and non-alcoholic beverages’ supply chain from production to waste management, by 44 food products, grouped in 11 categories. Further, we perform a Structural Path Analysis to identify the hotspots along the supply chain with the highest emissions. Finally, we carry out an assessment of the economic impact of GHG emissions on each product category, considering both the related environmental pressure intensity and the cost of environmental damage (social cost). The results offer new insights on the amount, composition and origin of GHG emissions in the food supply chain. More precisely, detailed evidence is provided in support of the findings of previous studies that have shown that the contribution of farm-level activities on overall GHG emissions is mostly related to N2O and CH4 emissions. Moreover, we highlight the large environmental impact associated with CO2 emissions, even if they are scattered among a very high number of activities, with a limited contribution each. Hence, we infer that multiple hotspots for CO2 exist along the whole supply chain and that many of them occur in downstream stages, e.g. transportation, processing, packaging, waste disposal, as well as in the cold chain activities. As for the economic assessment of emissions, the highest costs are attributed to the highest emitting product categories, but the share of social costs of these emissions as compared to the overall production value, affect each product differently. Hence, the impact of a hypothetical price control measure, introduced to internalize the social cost of emissions, would vary significantly from one product category to another. Overall, our findings suggest that, in order to achieve effective and efficient GHG mitigation in the food system, an integrated approach is required, including both concrete technological and managerial measures at various stages of the food supply chain and for specific product categories, as well as appropriate economic incentive-based mechanisms accounting for the social cost of damage (e.g. a ‘carbon tax’), that can prompt polluters to reduce their emissions along the whole supply chain
